2 – Mage who doesn’t think there was no conflict (corrected)
‘Are there any unusual people?’
Her evaluation ended with that.
As the saying goes, it’s unusually dressed, but that’s only inside this academy, and outside, people with unusual outfits are widely available.
“Can I say a word too?”
“of course.”
As she stepped onto the podium, she looked at the man who stole her gaze one more time.
His face wrapped in bandages was unfamiliar, but his height and physique were somewhat familiar.
But I didn’t say anything. There are many people in the world of the same size and height, and there is a possibility that he or she will not retain the same physique as before.
“Cadets, welcome to Hidin’s academy.”
Her voice resonated throughout the huge auditorium even though it contained no magic power. Thanks to her reciting the name of the country where this academy is located, the cadets were able to experience once again where they had come.
“The unsavory allegations of dishonesty were completely put to rest by coming up to the court myself.
So, please, find your talent here, join the guild you want and hope to become a warrior who will make your name known on the continent.
The faculty members of the academy, including myself, will do our best to help your talent bloom.”
Lane, who doesn’t like long ones, finished by saying ‘ideal’. The sparse applause could be seen as being shy compared to those who would be called warriors.
But no.
Lane’s eyes lit up.
The cadets who overcame the voice they sent with pressure instead of magical power and clapped their hands were sprouts with enough talent. The assistant principal must have noticed that as well, and was scanning the clapping cadets.
Her eyes stopped on one spot. It was the suspiciously dressed man from before.
He overcame this pressure and was just standing there, clapping normally.
Everything came into Lane’s bright field of vision. An unusual scar located on the man’s little finger. resembling a rose.
She knew someone with that unusual and special scar.
Such a scar was left from the attack of Molzin, the third corps commander.
He almost allowed the attack, but he grabbed him and sent him back, but he just brushed off the attack.
Even though it was not easy to bear because it was an attack containing a curse, he did not show pain and assisted the party as always.
Thinking like that makes my heart ache again. Warriors, wizards, priests, and even himself received many blessings from him.
At least ten fingers were not enough.
If he could pay it back, he’d do it anyway, but maybe… no, he’d definitely feel the pressure.
The man stood there blankly, unaware that the dean and the first hero, Rain Guardon, were looking at him. No, if he was someone Lane knew well, he would be pretending not to know even though he clearly noticed. They’ll say, “A lot of time has passed anyway, and I don’t have anything to say,” and try to move on without thinking.
Lane did not speak any longer and withdrew. Because there are many opportunities to observe.
That’s how she stepped down and the vice-principal came back to the podium. She must have been quite nervous, her sweaty head reflecting the light.
After giving a polite greeting to Lane, who was younger than himself, the assistant principal opened his mouth loudly.
The boring speech begins again.

mage tower. A place where those who aim for magic gather for research. However, it is a space where the authority given to you is gradually reduced if you do not produce results because of thorough meritocracy.
There is a person who uses an entire floor of such a mage tower as his laboratory, and Al Sola, a member of the first hero’s party and called the archmage, was the main character.
Al Sola, an eccentric and genius who develops his own magic every few days, which is normally useless, has been stuck in the lab for over two weeks.
Even the arrogant and uninterested wizards were very worried about Al Sola’s behavior, so some wizards asked her how they were from time to time.
Al Sola, who nervously said ‘Go away’ every time. She spoke to herself after a long time in the laboratory, which was quite large for her size.
“..found.”
Those eyes were so hazy that it couldn’t be seen as Al Sola of the first warrior’s party, who was once very intelligent,
His voice was so cracked that it made me wonder when he said it.
Eyes like prominences were seething as if they had found what they were looking for. Not hopeful words like passion or enthusiasm, but filled with feelings that are unknown to the depth like a swamp.
-bang!
Solar hurriedly opened the door, not matching her cloudy eyes and crackling voice.
The force was strong enough to break the hinges and leave marks on the well-decorated wooden door, but at least no one here disputed her actions.
Fixing a broken door and offending Sola. It was because when comparing the two, it was easy to know which one had more damage without having to explain it.
“Oh, Lord Al Sola! Did you finally come out? What new magic…”
“go away.”
“Ha.. But this direct appearance..”
“Hey.”
The elderly man, stiffened at the voice of his little senior calling him like that, carefully looked at her. Her curious gaze, wondering what kind of magic she had developed this time, was scattered like dust in her words and expression.
“There’s nothing to see in the Mage Tower anymore.”
“..Yes..?”
“My lab, whatever, anyone can use it. There’s no reason to come here anymore.”
“Muh… what.”
“Wait. Just wait. I’m going to ask why you disappeared without a word…”
Seeing her muttering, the wizard had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. He had no choice but to let her go when he saw that murmur and expression mixed with obsession and resentment he had never seen before.
It was the result of unknowingly estimating the size of the mess she was carrying.
“..I found it.”
“I found it.”
“Why… why did you leave us… me?”
“I don’t understand.”
“You have to ask yourself…”
“Come to my side before the others notice…”
She sent a letter to Lane in her usual form, but it was all an act. Her obsession continued to inflate its size.
only one person. Because of a man named ‘Ron’ who is the shadow of the first warrior’s party and a person who has not even heard of a single thing until now.
She starts casting spells. A long sentence consisting of dozens of sentences is recited in just two seconds. At the same time, her body spreads with light.
That’s how she crossed a country with the highest level of magic ‘space movement’ and arrived at the front gate of Hidin’s academy.
Of course, things like the academy are not important. He had no interest in nurturing an heir.
wizards? Warrior Candidates? It didn’t matter if it all sucked. lane? Strictly speaking, at this moment, the woman named Rain Guardon was dangerous. If you recognize that person exists, you will definitely become a rival.
The center of the superficial party was Lane, but the center of the implicit party was Ron. As such, everyone received more than one favor from Ron, so everyone had a crush on a man named Ron.
More than half of the party were female members, and all the female members had a crush on Ron as a member of the opposite sex.
They made a covenant to ‘agree with each other’, but like all oral promises, such a treaty could not be kept unless it was well kept.
So it was dangerous. Even during the adventure, we kept a close check on each other, but now, if it were known that he was alive…
“..No, this is almost as if I won.”
She didn’t forget Ron during the time after the breakup. Even on the day when each of them turned their backs and left, they held the words ‘let’s go together’ in their mouths, pressed their throbbing hearts as if they were heroines of tragedy, and said a temporary farewell.
Because I knew I would get in touch with him.
Time passed, but there was no contact. He ordered some wizards who worshiped him to bring the rumors of the continent, but there were no rumors about him.
So I started researching to find him.
While inventing useless but innovative magic, he continued to study magic to find traces of him. It is full of nervousness that does not match her well-known image.
A magic that keeps track of only one person. Research that has to start completely from nothing because it is inefficient and there is no precedent.
So, quite a bit of time has passed. During that time, Ron continued to be silent.
And she finally completed it, and finally found it. It was the result of obsession with love.
The others would have just waited. maybe i forgot
But I’m different.
made it
Found it.
Hang in there. ‘Cause now I’ll never let you fall
Al Sola heads inside the academy. Some of the seniors taking a break are surprised to see her.
Aspiring wizards even raise words of reverence toward her.
Some of them had the courage to speak directly to Al Sola, but…
“..go away.”
“Yes.. yes.. yes?”
“f*ck off. I’m busy.”
Hearing her answer, which was about to explode like a wriggling volcano, I had no choice but to squeeze saliva out of my dry mouth, gulp it, and retreat.
