After a long summer, the autumn sky was clear and the world was colored with the light of autumn leaves.
The rattling carriage’s vibrations gave the body a languid drowsiness.
The deep scent of the tulip fields spread out to the far horizon outside the car window. It was already autumn in the world.
“You have to be polite, Lane.”
“I know. It’s a place to meet my grandfather.”
“I’m sorry. If I had been better, I wouldn’t have taken you to a place like this.”
“You should know.”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“Yeah, that’s right. okay.”
The boy was taken aback when he saw Kavan smiling shyly.
Can’t you answer like this?
The boy used his extraordinary brain to spin at super-high speed and traced his memories with Lista. How would Lista have responded at this time?
‘I don’t know… … .’
Now, the rush of drowsiness prevented my head from turning quickly.
He is said to have the intelligence of a great wizard, but he is only 11 years old now.
It is not able to overcome the physiological response of the young body.
“You must be tired. Relax while you go. It’s five days away.”
In the Holy Human Empire, there are five electorate families in each region, and there are five Madosega who serve them.
Warden Prince House of the East.
The Keppel Prince House of the West.
Vlado’s princely family in the north.
The House of Page Princes of the South.
And here, it is the Prince Ludwig family, to which the boy belongs, who serves Prince Sion, the elector of the central region with the most affluent products.
From noble mtl dot com
It was the beginning of the Madose family that the electorate conferred positions on outstanding court magicians, and only the Madose family of counts used the title of prince.
An exception to this is the leader of the Madose, the Paige Bangbaekga, but we will explain this later.
The carriage crossed Ludwig’s family’s estate, Sia Stullica, and finally arrived at ＜Rainbow Garden＞, the city of the prince.
“wow… … .”
It was a truly beautiful city.
All the districts of the city were divided into seven districts, the colors of the rainbow, and each one radiated its own light in the autumn sunlight.
Typically, the district where the castle of the king is located is purple, and the district where the education district is formed is indigo blue.
Kavern took the boy to ＜Ribarden＞ magic school where his father was assigned. My father was in the middle of a lecture.
“How about it, do you want to take classes too?”
“I prefer the lessons from my father.”
It was a pure answer without any distractions, the answer of the son who was concentrating on the lecture before he knew it.
this guy… … .
At that answer, Kavern felt his heart thump.
“Any students with questions?”
Lane raised her hand at the question asked by her grandfather, Skalge Ludwig, as she put down the chalk. Kavan tried to stop him, but Scalge spoke first.
“Something?”
“I wonder why the runes were written as spheres. If you use it as a ruler, you can use mathematical formulas more simply and increase the power. There is also Ko (睾) as well as Jia (刺).”
Scalzi’s face then flashed with amazement, and the students in the class also had to look back at the boy in a daze.
“Amazing. That was what I was going to teach in the advanced part, ‘Application of Runes and Reduction of Mathematical Expressions’.”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“Since my family came to visit, I will stop today’s lecture. The teaching assistant summarizes the contents of the lecture, you guys follow me.”
‘You guys’ meant the boy and the Kavan. As the rich man followed them down the aisle, the skalge glared at Kavan.
“Are you still like that?”
“I want to throw out my anger right now, but I’m holding back because I see this clever grandson’s face.”
“It’s Brim who gave birth to this clever grandson, father.”
Scalzi was a strong-looking old man with a straight back despite his old age.
The dignity of a proud wizard was alive throughout his body, and the mana he unconsciously radiated was quite welcome to the boy.
Scalzi was one of the magicians of the rank of Glados (4 stars), who are currently only ten in the Empire.
“Yeah, somehow he’s smarter than his nerdy father, but he even looks polite. Like it. you stop going Isn’t His Highness the Prince asking to see you anyway?”
Why was it in that moment? Why would you intervene in such a casual conversation?
“My father was not bad. You are a good father and teacher.”
At that time, on the first day of riding in the carriage, it was because of the memory that came to mind when my father laughed awkwardly.
– Sir Lista, why are you taking such a young and immature child?
– There are 6 more skilled wizards besides that child at the rank of Glados (4 stars).
– you’re right. Are you lacking in cooperation and too arrogant?
They were familiar eyes and remarks.
To an orphan boy who has lived his whole life in the eyes of jealousy… … At that time, Lista Alter Surpin stood in the way of that gaze with a grin.
– Rin is the best wizard. It is neither immature nor uncooperative.
– … … ?
– I just don’t know yet. You can learn from now.
The voice that said that at that time still lingers deep in my memory. I also want to do the same for someone someday.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Kavern’s eyes grew hot and he felt a heavy stabbing pain in one place in his chest.
Scalzi looked back at the boy, met his firm gaze for a long time, then smiled.
“I don’t know that. He is my son whom I am most proud of.”
“father… … ?”
“Didn’t I tell you to stop and go, since I don’t need you?”
“… … All right.”
“But don’t backtrack into the mansion. After confirming Lane’s aptitude, let’s have a drink together after a long time.”
“… … !”
“Come on, you follow me.”
Facing the figure from the back of the skalge as he walked down the aisle holding Reine’s hand, Kavan bowed deeply.
A smile shone in the grandfather’s eyes, and tears flowed from the father’s eyes.
the boy thought.
Could this also be a gift from Lista? If I hadn’t met her, would I have thought of this?
– You’ll be fine. Because Rin is a kind child.
The boy, who had excellent skills as a great wizard but was lacking in bowls, took a step forward as a sage today.
* * *
“Okay, so how did you know about rune combinations and mathematical rearrangements?”
Skalzi’s office was unpretentious.
Only the necessary furniture was placed, and all paperwork was neatly organized.
‘It’s really different from me.’
It was normal for Rin’s laboratory in the past and Lane’s room to be cluttered with books and documents… … the boy replied.
“I read a lot of books.”
“many?”
“Many many.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
I wasn’t sure how to explain it, but Scalzi laughed heartily and stroked the boy’s head to the point of making a mess.
“Actually, I didn’t even have to ask. How your father boasted about you… … You’ve already mastered the theory of three-star magic, haven’t you?”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
I can’t say it, but I can actually penetrate it to 5 stars.
“And I heard that you came to see me to open up Belle Curious.”
Bell Curious.
Absolute Mystic Eye, which means ‘piercing perception’ in the language of the gods. Scalzi was one of those enlighteners whose name was etched proudly into the family’s history.
“How much magic power do you have now?”
“It’s barely enough to perform a high-speed calculation of one 3-star magic, Grandpa.”
“You can calculate 3-star magic at high speed?”
Skalge’s eyes widened.
It may be necessary to explain the concept of ‘high-speed operation’ that wizards talk about.
Magic that activates by drawing a magic square somewhere and filling it with runes and mathematical formulas is not called ‘high-speed calculation’.
When the entire process is performed by mental calculation rather than pencil calculation, it is called high-speed calculation.
Up to a 4-star wizard, the rank is promoted when more than twenty-four magics of that rank can be calculated, but in order to rise to the rank of a 5-star wizard, that is, a great wizard, seven 5-star magics had to be ‘high-speed calculation’.
“This is amazing. No, it’s embarrassing. It’s surprising that he used 3-star magic at the age of 11, but high-speed calculation… … Was there a precedent?”
If I had to ask, there was. Archmage Rin acquired a 3-star rank at the age of 11 and a 4-star rank at the age of 13.
Compared to other archmages, it is a far higher level.
“Then try it somewhere.”
“Here?”
“Yes, here.”
“The room will be destroyed.”
“Okay.”
“The wind pressure will mess everything up.”
“Okay. I’ll get rid of it before that.”
Scalge gave a meaningless smile.
To remove… … ?
The boy opened his palms in embarrassment. Super-precise formulas are calculated in an instant in my head, changing the providence of this world.
‘The shape of the magic square is three fan-shaped. The runes engraved respectively are Yu(兪), Zhu(駐), and Je(制).’
To explain, it is to carve three traits into wind attribute magic.
As if a cold thread was piercing his veins, chills rose, and the air currents of magical power whirled around and all the furniture in the room began to creak.
“Huh… … It really was.”
The moment Skalge muttered that, an eerie chill ran through his body, causing his hair to stand on end and cold sweat to break out.
what… … ?
What is this?
It’s gone, the magic is gone, the entire magic square… … I didn’t even activate it, but I didn’t stop it either?
“Don’t panic. Didn’t I tell you to erase it?”
The boy who looked up blankly felt fear once more.
red glowing eyes.
The silvery-white seven-pointed star was engraved there.
Even the intellect of the archmage felt primal fear when they faced eyes that saw through everything in this world and the conditions for its establishment.
“This is Bell Curious. You will be able to control all the supernatural abilities you can see.”
But fear soon turned to shudder, and shudder to exaltation.
Why not?
That infinite power would soon be his own, but the boy let out a cheer uncharacteristic of a great wizard.
“Ooh, whoa!”
“Hot ha ha ha! Do you want to try it too?”
“yes!”
The seven stars scattered from the scourge’s eyes, and the glow in his eyes subsided. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Of course it is not invincible. The caster must fully understand the magic in order to dispel or transform it.”
“It’s so cool though!”
“And it requires a lot more magical power than it looks. You still have a long way to go as you show symptoms of magical exhaustion with just one 3-star magic.”
Many of Ludwig’s descendants feel a wall and get frustrated right here. Decide that you cannot cross the wall and give up.
“Isn’t it just too far away?”
“hmm?”
“It’s far, doesn’t mean you can’t go, right?”
But the boy was different.
All exploration was a pleasure for the boy, but the pleasure of crossing the wall of knowledge was indescribable.
“So teach me how to go that way, Grandpa.”
The moment the boy answered boldly, Scalzi’s mouth almost split from ear to ear.
“My education will be very hard.”
“Education is what it should be.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! You are truly my bloodline! Brim, I have to say thank you to that kid. To give birth to such a clever child!”
Even the hedgehog said that her offspring looked pretty, and I thought her son’s words were an exaggeration.
But it was a mistake.
this is a gem It’s not just a jewel, maybe shedding a new light on stagnant imperial magic… … .
