Over the weekend, I was focused on building a survival strategy. Because the ‘might be a dangerous guy’ has been upgraded to a ‘dangerous guy’.
“Is walking on thin ice like this… … .”
We don’t know what Valencidis’s purpose is (like me, he’s a strong person who doesn’t need to learn anything in school), but now finding out his purpose is an afterthought, and being able to die is the immediate problem.
Socrafres.
– You can inherit the ‘unique magic’ research progress in the surrounding environment.
– Progress 44.8%
If there’s anything that’s greatly comforting in this situation, it’s the progress of unique magic. I think I raised close to 4 percent in this expedition alone.
“As expected, if you fight against strong guys, will it go up a lot? Warlocks have a lot of bonuses.”
What Libenny, who has the same appearance as Rin, said at the end also bothered me. A vessel to receive Rin’s soul… … .
‘I don’t know what he’s using my soul to pack, but it must be empty.’
I don’t think you need to worry too much about this, for now. Rin’s soul is already in this body.
The issue to focus on is the student council president, Valencidis.
Shall we ask him why he was making ‘Lin’?
‘no.’
That’s not a good option in the current state of the body, which has not yet fully recovered from being engulfed in cancer poison.
‘More than anything else, he… … .’
The feeling itself was different from Liveni, whose purpose was unilateral slaughter. Didn’t that guy’s actions make me even more curious about Turaina?
“Bonus, bonus, bonus.”
Pippi, who was pecking at the grains of corn scattered on the desk, followed my words.
This guy was also worried.
Pipi certainly exerted great power against lower-middle-class monsters, but could not use great power against the truly strong. Even more so now that I am old.
“I guess I shouldn’t have brought you.”
He collapsed onto the desk and sighed. Pippi poked Lane’s cheek with her beak, apparently angry at disturbing the corn kernels.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong!”
and… … There was also a problem that was so big that it was comparable to the problem of the student council president. I could hear these whispers while walking around the campus during school hours.
“Hey, did you hear? I heard that Professor Elin was captured by the ‘Golden Children’.”
“Huh, really?”
“Have you studied black magic?”
Aunt Elin’s reputation for taking risks to protect me was cracking.
As he did not show up at school even after the holidays, this suspicion seemed to be gradually amplified.
‘I need to write something… … .’
A lot, a lot of nuisance, but he’s a good person. And after all, this incident happened because of me.
Eh, Lane let out a big sigh and moved towards Yongryun Hall.

“Princess Lane, are you requesting an interview with the president?”
＜Delaiten＞ Office of the President.
The secretary in the president’s office tilted her head as if wondering. Until now, no one had ever confidently applied for an interview with the president.
“Should I say it’s a grievance as a senior cadet… … Anyway, I want to ask you something, but how can I not?”
Since this is an issue that is so unconventional, I thought that the requester and the sender would of course be dismissed.
“Who asked for an interview?”
However, the secretary went into the president’s office and asked about his intentions.
“This is Lane Ludwig.”
Madelia Page, who was mechanically putting the seal of final approval on various city management issues and academic reports, stood out in her eyes.
“It’s interesting, ask them to come.”
The meeting with the president was established so simply that the secretary stopped thinking for a moment because of his absurdity.
The president’s office was a room illuminated by sunlight on all eight sides.
It was a room steeped in a sad history that Emitsa Page, the founder of magic, built because she wanted to bask in the light of Karenden, the Black Sun.
‘Wow, this is where the first sage lived… … .’
As I looked around the room from the reception sofa and her eyes lit up, a dignified beauty crossed her legs in the upper seat and raised a teacup.
“It’s the first time I’ve talked to you like this, isn’t it?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Kavan and Brim, how are they?”
“Yes, you are strong.”
“joy.”
Lane straightened her back with a slight strain.
Light blue hair shines like jewels under the sunlight. Likewise, there was a noble majesty in her purple eyes, and there were no ripples in her demeanor.
Her hair stood on end in the magical power of the heroine who reigned supreme among the new generation of wizards (Scalzi and Marhena are the old generation).
“I heard a lot of stories from many professors. Especially the professor in charge, Owen, has worn your compliments off his lips.”
“yes?”
It would have been more shocking if Owen had declared that he would quit the sport. He said that even his parents did not praise him… … .
“It’s not just Owen. There are several people who have recommended you. So, why did you come to see me?”
It’s not bad to cut off the twigs and get to the core. A mage should always have such a disposition.
Briefly and concisely explained.
Borrowing Turaina’s book, getting caught by the interrogator when I was about to return it, and Elin being taken instead to protect me.
“… … So, my aunt was arrested because of me.”
“okay.”
“What can you do so that your aunt is not disadvantaged? As the chancellor.”
Madelia’s eyes narrowed as she sipped her teacup and listened to the story.
“I don’t think this is about discussing your aunt’s treatment. It is a matter of discussing your treatment.”
“… … .”
“Even though you knew that first graders couldn’t borrow books, you dared to take advantage of your status as the eldest son of the Sega family. If you forgive this easily, the school rules will not stand right away.”
Facing Madelia’s sharp eyes, I instantly thought, Oops.
Did my aunt protect me because of this, not because of the question of heresy? The dry saliva gulp down.
It’s important from here… … The sound of the clock ticking on the wall clock ticked my ears nervously.
“So I came to see if I could make a deal.”
Then, Madelia, who had been staring at Lane in silence, raised her eyebrows as if interested.
“transaction? You and Me?”
“I am the current senior cadet of ＜Deleiten＞ and heir to the Ludwig family. I think there is something I can give you, even if it is trivial.”
Madelia swallowed her breath inwardly, as if she found Lane’s bold words amusing, and as if she was surprised.
‘There are usually two reactions from chicks who face me… … .’
Either he stutters inexhaustibly because he is so withdrawn, or he is unable to say anything in an explosion of awe.
Is it just chicks?
It was no different from the wizards who had chosen the current magic profession. But this guy… … What do you mean you don’t have a problem with words?
– I heard that your son is called Confucius.
I had said that to Kavan Ludwig when we were sharing the same sorrow over our children. But Kavern just smiled.
– It’s just that they’re not ready to break out of the egg yet.
So, you just have to wait. with love and faith.
Recalling the intelligent junior’s voice, Madelia put her chin on her clasped hands and smiled.
“Funny. Would you like to hear a story? So, what’s the deal?”
“If you tell me what I can give you, how will it be reconciled?”
“You are misunderstanding something. You are the one who has to convince me now on attractive terms… … No, wait.”
Madelia, who put down the teacup as if something had come to her mind at the moment, seemed to be seriously thinking about something for a moment, but suddenly brought up the story.
“Lane Ludwig, are you willing to be my daughter’s tutor?”
Lane doubted his ears for a moment.
daughter? tutor?
Come to think of it, I had heard from my father that there was a young lady in the Page family. I had never seen it before, so I just forgot about it.
But I never even imagined that it would come out of this place.
“You know I’m sixteen now, right?”
Paige is Madose. No, it’s not just the Madose family, it’s the leader of the Madose clan that has inherited a long lineage from the founder of magic.
When it comes to tutors for the Page family, it is a natural practice for a magician who is considered the best of the time to be appointed.
Since there are kinship limits, it would be appropriate for President Madelia to teach me directly at my age, just as Kavan and Scalzi taught me… … .
“Being a senior cadet in this rider called the Golden Generation is not evidence of exceptional talent, is it? In addition, I heard that you worked as an assistant for Prince Ludwig of the Scourge for three years?”
“No, anyway… … .”
Teaching others is a very tedious task. I’ve only taught two people so far, but hmm, it feels like the time I spend on my studies is being taken away.
“If you agree, I will first explain to the school that Elin went on a business trip to another place under my name.”
“… … !”
“And I will also withdraw the talk about the punishment I talked about earlier. How are you? It’s not like you’re teaching for years. It only takes two or three months. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you.”
Because it is the job of guiding others, he touches his chin for a while and hesitates.
But it was a deal where you could get anything you wanted. Wasn’t the problem at hand solved surprisingly easily?
How hard must the job of a home tutor be?
“great. Let’s try it.”
But at this point, I think I should have stopped and thought deeply.
That when there are so many things coming from trading, there must be something to match… … .
So the archmage met the girl.
* * *
On the night they returned to the Emperor’s Office after completing their five-year expedition, a meteor shower embroidered the night sky, marking the beginning of a golden age.
Members of the warriors’ party sat on the railing of the Emperor’s Office, leaned against it, or looked up at the meteor shower while leaning against it.
“If Rin saw this, she would have loved it.”
The moment Rista muttered that with a wry smile, the party members shuddered in agony that they couldn’t do anything about.
“Yes, it must have been. He wanted to make a fuss, but he would have just glared at us because he was trying to notice us.”
The fire dragon priestess, Friede, tried to lighten the mood with a smile. And again there was silence. Everyone just stared blankly at the meteor rain.
“It seemed like it would never end, but our journey has finally come to an end.”
It was Tureina, the youngest member of the party, who got angry at Rista’s remark. His voice was trembling terribly.
“It’s not over.”
“… … ?”
“It’s not over! How could you say such a thing! Sabu, Sabu is in such a state… … !”
“Toureina… … .”
“It won’t end, until Sabu returns, it won’t end, never… … !”
From noble mtl dot com
Then, before anyone could stop him, he ran away, covering his tears with a hat that was Rin’s keepsake. Keith and Fifi followed after him.
Friede looked at her back with pity, then exhaled smoke and looked at Lista.
“What are you going to do now?”
“You have to wait. Until Rin returns.”
“Lista… … .”
“Lin said he would come back. So you will definitely come. I just have to wait.”
At Lista’s words, Friede had to feel the sadness stabbing his lungs.
“I know that. but… … You don’t have much time left.”
FakeWarrior (Fake Warrior), which amplifies power by incorporating the soul of a dragon into its body, acquires power beyond the standard in exchange for life.
Here, in wartime, the average lifespan of a payquarian was only in the mid-twenties. Will I have to live long enough to be in my late 20s?
There, Rista has always been at the forefront of her five-year journey, using her powers. Will I be able to live for about 3 years if I have to live in the future?
“is it?”
But Lista, the hero who has always led his teammates with a smile as bright as the sun, with silver hair blowing in the night breeze, smiled bashfully as always and said:
“If it doesn’t work in this life, can’t we just wait in the next life? If that doesn’t happen, in the next life.”
Friede could only stare at Lista with wide eyes for a moment. It wasn’t long before a burst of laughter erupted.
“I can’t stop, really.”
Leaning against the railing, he exhaled cigarette smoke into the night sky.
“You know that was blasphemy, right?”
In fact, the doctrine of Gwangryong Orthodox Church denied three births and preached the providence of heaven and hell. Lista’s remarks were something only pagans could claim.
“Can you close your eyes for once, Miko?”
“hahahaha. Hero, bare-mouthed?”
The two women laughed silently.
Amid laughter mixed with joy and sorrow, the last meteor quietly split the dew in their eyes.
From that day until the day the heroes of the Lista Party passed away, the world entered a golden age.
Like a flower blooming on a grave, on the boy archmage’s death.
