Episode 127 – Special abilities are always… …
#One
Cale was sitting in his seat.
It was a place of subtle pressure.
Even looking around the room, the only thing that comes to mind is starkness and hardness.
What was so important, no one showed up while sitting in the middle of the day.
Suddenly, I heard a conversation outside the door.
With a muffled voice going through one ear, Cale blankly organized his thoughts.
‘As expected, was it wrong to use cadenza?’
She knew too.
That the magic he and Manus use are really special.
So, it was a magic that was only used when going up the tower.
I haven’t used Manus for a month and a half either.
I haven’t heard of anyone using it in the last year or so.
Also, was it too early?
My head was complicated.
I couldn’t figure out what to do.
“still… … .”
She recalled the look in Manus’ eyes.
His soft expression seemed to say so.
do as you please
However, on the other side of it, it must have also contained the meaning of ‘I will have to take responsibility as well.’
Ugh-!
Didn’t you just believe what your seniors said?!
Cale was entangled in all kinds of thoughts and tousled his head.
Around the time her neat bobbed hair gradually turned into wild hair, the door opened.
“Ah, sorry to have kept you waiting so long. This is Professor Shandler. You know?”
“ah… … yes. Summoning… … .”
“you’re right. I have collected and brought questions from other professors. If many professors come at once, even Cale students won’t be able to answer easily, right?”
“hahahaha-.”
Actually, it was fine.
Cale hurriedly straightened his hair and straightened his posture.
Professor Shandler neatly laid out the magic-wrapped refreshments.
It seemed that they brought it with great care, but it was difficult to move their hands hastily.
A strangely pressured gesture.
It felt as if the mana emanating from the professor’s body was tying the air.
Plus, the little lizard staring at him from Shandler’s shoulder was fierce.
Goddess Barbaros.
The legendary divine beast, said to be comparable to the master, had his eyes wide open.
“Okay then, let’s prepare in advance.”
“-yes.”
Professor Shandler’s mana moved.
That mana flowed into Barbarossa, dyeing his eyes red.
The pupils of the divine beast made it possible to discern the truth and grasp the intention of the person answering.
One of the methods used when interrogating someone at the academy.
Interrogation that did not go beyond the moral level was Shandler’s specialty.
From now on, of Cale’s words, all lies will be filtered out through Barbarossa.
Cale, noticing the change in the air, looked around.
A smile formed on Shandler’s lips.
“As expected, you have excellent qualities for mana. Being sensitive is a very good talent.”
“As expected, you called because of my magic, right?”
“that’s right. Kayle Student’s magic is a very special and powerful magic. It’s also magic that shouldn’t exist.”
“then… … .”
Shandler saw a twinkle in the young student’s eyes.
it would be scary and frightening
Maybe, you may have bad thoughts.
Shandler smiled kindly to subdue the student’s fears, who were still only in their first year.
This student’s magic was a precious treasure.
“Gee, don’t worry. The academy will do its best to protect Cale students. In fact, several professors have copied the student’s magic.”
“success… … did you?”
Shandler shook his head.
“no. The theory of magic has been established for a long time. Ignoring the law is impossible except for special people.”
“So, am I unusual?”
“It is. Did you say common people? but… … Among our distant ancestors, there must have been someone with special abilities.”
be a special person
Cale just nodded.
Shandler asked the most important question.
Sometimes there are people like that.
A person who can twist the causal rate.
If there is one thing they have in common, it is that they made a contract with an alien being.
That’s why he gained special powers, and soon became a disaster for mankind.
“I will ask you one last time. Have you ever made a contract with an alien being?”
“-no. no.”
Barbarossa’s eyes flashed fiercely.
A short but long silence passed.
Shandler’s smile grew a little thicker.
Cale quietly waited for an answer.
Uneasy, she wiggled her fingers.
What answer will Shandler give?
“-That’s good. I hope you never make a contract with an outsider. Because it didn’t end well. Come on, can you show me just once?”
“yes.”
Cale combined two first-class magics and showed them to Shandler.
Seeing this, the professor was deeply impressed.
It was a very mysterious phenomenon.
Enough to start new research with just this.
However, it was something that could only be dreamed of.
It was an act that an ordinary wizard could never do.
Something that can be separated while infusing mana into the magic circle.
‘This is truly a blessed ability.’
Who else in this world could do something like this?
Professor Shandler studied the magic circle intently and then nodded.
A magic that no one can imitate, that only this student can unfold.
Rather than envy, I wanted to help this student see the bright light in the future.
There must be people out there who envy and envy this talent.
The jealousy of students living in the same era will be more terrible than that of professors.
“You seem to have good friends around you, and I hope they know about this too. So that you don’t get caught up in jealousy.”
“I don’t think you need to worry about that. They are all good people.”
“Ohhh, I’m glad then. The professor’s questions are over. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask.”
Cale smiled softly and nodded.
I have strong friends.
They recognized their ability as pure speciality.
Those who said that in a situation where they climb the tower together, it is rather reassuring to have someone stronger.
Because of them, Cale was able to accumulate knowledge with peace of mind.
The days of worrying and studying together made a strong friendship.
Even though it was a month, the density of the incident and time with them far exceeded the time of a month.
“Can I go now?”
“sure. You should go and congratulate your friend.”
Cale got up from his seat and bowed his head.
The back of her stepping out was confident and full of energy.
The look in her eyes, eager to see her friend, proved that she was still on the right track.
Shandler stood up from his seat and gave a small nod.
It is not right as a professor to extort students’ talents.
At least he thought so.
＜You should ask if you would like to participate in the study right away.＞
＜If you can get that blood… … .＞
＜If you can commercialize that method, magic will definitely evolve to the next level.＞
The words of outsiders who held their hands and asked for help.
As I listened to them, a fire rose inside me.
Shandler quietly removed their hands and said:
＜No one can get involved in the work of the academy, and no one can take away the talent of the academy. I’m sure you all know.＞
A roundabout but firm refusal.
Their expressions hardened for a moment, but Shandler did not express himself.
This is a place where the emperor cannot do as he pleases even if he comes.
It was the only place in the entire continent where there was peace.
‘It’s going to be more complicated in the future.’
Shandler also got up and left the counseling room.
A new star has risen.
The Floyce family has a deep history, and it was a family with many things to prove.
All of the newly emerging families stood out at Mythos Academy.
The Floys family must have taken that step too.
Professor Shandler erased his negative thoughts about Cale and thought of good things to come.
“Bad idea, get out of here, whoa-.”
The words he spat out like a child flowed down the silent hallway.
#2
Being inaugurated as the student council president was something that received a lot of attention.
Is that all?
All kinds of families paid attention to the student council president.
It meant that he was the strongest and brightest student in the first year.
Some interpreted the work of the academy by extending it to the family.
Actually, it wasn’t wrong.
The family was the place where that talented person would grow up and go.
[Congratulatory applause please.]
waaa-.
Cheers spread.
Her passionate red hair seemed to be blown away by the wind created by the cheers.
Anais raised her hand with a proud expression.
“Heh heh, it seems that the young lady has grown very well.”
“thank you. marquis. She’s my daughter, but she’s really puzzling.”
audience seats.
Among them, at the top of the seat, there was a lot of talk.
red hair.
It was the mark of a family symbolizing the sun.
He was smiling bitterly.
I wondered if I was worried for nothing, to have such a bright smile.
Other than that, there were only a couple of other things that got in the way.
‘What is that magic… … . In addition, mana has also increased significantly. It’s not a level to grow in a month.’
My mind was complicated.
Their daughter, Flois Anais, was a genius.
However, even a genius could not rapidly increase mana.
It was not a genius talent, but a blessing from heaven.
But look
She has risen to the level where she can freely handle 3rd class magic.
A truly different talent.
He was truly a gift from heaven.
Rather, the sense of alienation planted anxiety in his father’s heart.
“Commoners and nobles alike are overflowing with talent. Especially that blue-haired student.”
“… … What a kid. It shouldn’t be until the third year that you can use that level of magic.”
“3rd grade? Heh heh, only the best among them would do that.”
Floyce’s family head, Aventato, nodded.
It was an undeniable fact.
Right now, they didn’t even know they were looking at the great mages of the future.
One of them was his own daughter-in-law.
Should I like this…
Could it be that the daughter has gone down the wrong path?
He stroked his shaggy beard and fell into trouble.
“The Marquis of Floys. Please stop doing that and go see your daughter.”
“hmm. yeah, i guess that would be nice I will go first.”
“It is.”
Watching the head of the Floys family disappear at a quick pace, the nameless marquis grinned.
He looked at the podium with the thought that he would like his children to be like that too.
He didn’t look at the red hair.
A girl with blue hair ran all the way from the main building to here.
The appearance of a girl who used mysterious magic caught the eyes of the Marquis.
Looking back, there were many eyes following the blue-haired girl.
‘There must be many competitors.’
I heard that you are a commoner.
What last name will that child put in front?
It seemed like there would be competition.
It’s also pretty fierce competition.
