Chapter 11 – Magic Battle (3)
When I returned to the store, my insignificant and precious building welcomed its owner.
There was not a single brick or pillar that was out of my reach.
I can’t believe that this childish house has to be taken away from me until I get dirt in my eyes.
In fact, there were three simple ways to solve this situation.
One. He visits the chairman, who is having a relaxing time at a resort somewhere in the kingdom, and breaks the earthen pot.
Two. The king visits Thessalon and breaks the earthenware pot of King Baor, who neglected his curious daughter.
Three. Without going far, I immediately go to the Lord’s Castle and break Viscount Darling’s earthen pot.
If you think about it, it couldn’t help but be truly palatable.
Should I just do all three?
Drop, drop——
Dark clouds formed and raindrops fell.
Since my body had no time to rest, I diligently brought things inside that I had placed outside.
When an iron pole with a handle was hung on a hook connected to the eaves and turned clockwise, the creaky awning unfolded and pushed out the rainwater.
Even a few students who were complaining about the rain falling later bought umbrellas and left, and the cafeteria was quite quiet.
I guess business today is wrong.
“Huh?”
At that time, I found Adela standing outside in the pouring rain.
She closed her eyes and was composing her technique.
When using elemental magic, having a substance with the corresponding attribute nearby was quite helpful.
The water-colored hair that stuck to her forehead and ears, and the closed-mouthed expression on her face for the first time, created an elegant appearance that I had never imagined before.
Thuk, thud, thud.
The raindrops around Adela gradually rose and formed a round sphere.
It was a water ball, a tier 1 water magic that Ansen had used before.
‘Strictly speaking, it’s not that I don’t have talent…’
It’s not that I’m so dull that I can’t detect mana, nor that I’m so intellect that I can’t understand magic.
But Adela’s magic failed every time.
It was the same this time too.
“Ecchu!”
Sigh!
As soon as her concentration was broken, the round water bomb fell straight down and landed on Adela.
Only then did she open her eyes, look over here, and laugh.
“How was it?”
“Is this a shower spell? “It was a success.”
“…”
“It’s cold, so come in.”
She threw me a towel that I had been using for cleaning, which she liked, so I used it to dry her hair.
Her once wet hair sprouted and turned into dog fur.
Meanwhile, he was constantly muttering something with his small lips, looking for an error in the magic he had just used.
There would be no problem making a living if you were Count Rochear anyway, so I don’t know why you’re so eager.
“Hey. “Valjean.”
“Yes?”
“What are you so good at using magic for?”
“I’m going to get married.”
“What?”
My brain stopped for a moment at the unexpected answer.
Adella then explained to her the process by which the nobles of the Kingdom of Fenheim get married.
A married woman from an aristocratic family would make her debut in social circles through the mediation of her acquaintances or friendly families.
You can’t get invited to a ball or exhibition simply by looking good externally.
There must be something that can be recognized as not lowering the quality of the party leader, and the most representative of these is magic—the best means of showing knowledge and power at the same time.
Of course, if you win a competition that tests your magic skills, love calls will naturally pour in from the social world.
That was why Adela tried so hard to use her magic.
“Also, if you want to debut in the social world, you first interact with like-minded people at the salon.”
“So you went to Ansen?”
“Yes. “We have been kicked out repeatedly from the salons our family has run.”
“Why?”
“I doze off every time it’s tea time.”
“…”
“I’m hungry, hehe.”
This is ridiculous. I would have thought that the reason I wanted to learn magic was not to learn the powerful unique magic of the Rochear family, but simply to have one line of specifications to bring to the marriage vow.
But there was one question. Not all nobles enter society, and even if they don’t debut through a salon, it’s not impossible to get married, right?
“Can’t we just grab someone and marry them?”
“I don’t like that stupid person.”
I’m going to turn around, really.
“And if I’m getting married, I’d like to have at least the earldom title. Otherwise, you will become a son-in-law to the Roshyar family.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“I don’t like the North Sea because it’s cold. “When I was young, I fell asleep while drinking tea in the garden and almost died?”
You live because you were born.
I understand Adela’s big dream. Actually, whatever her reason for learning her magic was, it didn’t really matter to me.
Okay, let’s start with the chairman.
“Hey.”
“Yes?”
I gave him some cocoa from the store and secretly tried to get lucky with the half-penny wizard.
“I’m going to leave the academy for a moment to look for the chairman… “You can’t leave the canteen empty.”
Liv, who showed interest in the basement, is not allowed. Needless to say, she is a princess.
Adela’s current risk level is the lowest.
Not only do I have no interest in what’s inside the store, but even if I’m away, there’s no crazy service in the world that will demolish the building that houses the Lady of Rochear.
“In the meantime, if you guard the store for me, I’ll teach you magic.”
“Really?”
“Then. Instead, don’t touch the second floor or basement.”
Even to hear it myself, it was like the sweet whisper of the devil.
Adela hesitated for a moment and then nodded her head.
“I want to do it.”
Okay. Transaction established.
“But where is the chairman now?”
Adela asked me as I was getting ready to leave right away.
“I don’t know. “There should be one or two resorts around here.”
“But how will you get there?”
“I’m not looking for you…”
I said with a grin. I warned you that you would definitely regret it.
“That gentleman will call me.”
***
Diphnea, a quiet suburb about three days away by carriage from Parencia, was a city with natural hot springs and many entertainment facilities and recreational forests.
Among them, Gartadia Inn, a huge seven-story wooden building located next to the trading post at the top of Ruhilen, boasted the best service.
The private open-air bath located outside the room on the top floor afforded a panoramic view of the entire Calcedia Ridge, and the various mountain and seafood delicacies served at each meal included rare ingredients collected near Calzeb.
In this place, which can be called a paradise, Lehel Darad, Dean of Parencia Academy, was sitting in an armchair, refreshingly relaxing.
Her mood was on the verge of ascending to heaven as the magic stone that vibrated at regular intervals released the acupuncture points behind her.
Several crystal spheres placed in the room were broadcasting matches between monsters hosted by each magic tower, commonly known as the ‘Mon King Battle’.
“Oh, win! “Please stay strong, Grand Canyon!!”
A rhinoceros-like beast with three horns on its head was about to push its opponent.
Lehel, who is the chairman of Parenzia Academy but also the owner of Merak Tower, recalled the memories she had with that guy.
When they took their first steps, when I fed them baby food, when we looked down at the scenery together from the top of the magic tower.
“I bet all my money on you! Please!!”
Perhaps because her earnestness was conveyed, Grand Canyon did everything in her power to push her opponent out of the gold.
Just as she was about to advance a little further and her victory was announced, Lehel felt the screen projected onto her crystal sphere tilt slightly.
“Uh? What. “Is it a communication problem?”
Tuk-tuk.
She tried the crystal ball, but the slightly distorted angle did not return to its original state.
Rather, as if she was not the only one who felt something strange about her, the people reflected on the other side of her screen also looked around her.
Kugugoong——!
And then a profound sound comes.
Lehel realized something was wrong with her and sent the familiar connected to the crystal ball outside the magic tower.
And–
“Eh?”
She found a familiar man, shirtless, pushing her Merak Magic Tower with both arms.
The fact that a magic tower with all kinds of defensive magic was being pushed by people was a situation that would not normally be laughed at.
But Lehel’s hands trembled and her terrible past came back to life.
That was when King Baor suddenly agreed to that crazy bastard’s offer to take on the position of chairman of the newly built academy.
She resented herself for being blinded by money, but that didn’t matter now.
“Joe, you’re screwed!!”
Lehel was startled and opened the 〈 transfer door 〉. And to prepare for her imminent catastrophe, she searched here and there in her room for her hair tie.
She tied her silver hair, which was not yet dry enough, without even having time to dry it, and when her transfer door began to glow, she immediately got ready to greet her stall owner.
There is only one chance. He brought her hands together and positioned himself near her wall, arching her back.
Ji-ing——!
“Hey, Chairman… !”
“I’m sorry!!”
She cast a fancy gran bow.
***
It didn’t matter what she did wrong. It didn’t matter if her shower gown rolled up and exposed her underwear.
She closed her eyes tightly and waited for Lewis’ reaction.
If she tilted her magic tower, it meant that she was quite angry.
“… Ha.”
Of course, judging by the size of the sigh, he probably wasn’t as angry as he was then.
When construction of the Academy first began, the King did not tell anyone who was in Parenzia.
She warned him to be careful, but Lehel, who was confident in her skills, snorted and ignored her.
It was a time when she believed that there was no one on the continent she had to fear, except Terra Ernie Sten, aka Tsushima Island.
So when she saw one of the evictees who kept refusing to move, she got so annoyed that she tore down Meteor.
The price was terrible.
Grand Kenyon’s parents, who were promising players in the Merak Magic Tower Mon King Battle, passed away like that.
“Chairman. Are you going to keep doing it this way?”
“I’m sorry!! “You have no shame!!”
“Don’t keep using nymph font. “Because it’s cute and I want to forgive it.”
Does that mean you will forgive me? Or are you saying you won’t do it? Either that or it’s cute… ?
“You’re not answering?”
“Well, I don’t know what it is, but I’m sorry!”
“…”
“Uh, over there… The lower part is loose…”
“In situ.”
“Yes!”
She exhaled heavily, coloring her white face, and swallowed her saliva when she saw Lewis who had come through the 〈 transition door 〉.
His whole body was full of wounds.
Some were bitten by demonic beasts or demons, but others were geometrically and intentionally created.
The white-haired wizard felt fear at that.
Because I know who that technique belongs to and what it was made for——
“Hey, Chairman. “I know that the chairman cooperates well with me.”
“Yeah, right? I just added the rules…”
“Yes, it doesn’t seem to have much effect because kids these days don’t follow the school rules.”
“Yeah, that’s right, haha. Kids these days…”
Contrary to his appearance, which made one suspect that he was just over twenty, Lehel was quite old.
If that was a factor that made her feel even a little like her in common with Louis, she didn’t really see any reason to be young.
“Actually, I’m not the kind of kid who snitches on my parents, and I don’t want to argue with the chairman about everything like this, right? Most things can be resolved on my own terms. But this time, I think I crossed a line.”
“What line…”
He scanned the messy room with dull eyes.
It was a top-class room that Viscount Ruhillen, who never wastes money unless it was necessary, was willing to give it to him for some reason.
“In this match, ownership of the concession stand was awarded as compensation. “That won’t work.”
“Yes? That can’t be possible. The concession stand was originally located on the royal premises…”
“I heard the student council approved it? “Princess Erzsebet said it herself.”
Haha. Sorry. If true, I think disciplinary action is needed. “I will look into everything and handle it.”
From Lewis’ words, Lehel felt a strange sense of déjà vu. Why did she hear those words from her princess and not a member of the student council?
But that didn’t matter to her.
Originally, all you had to do was simply convey the results to superiors rather than adding various explanations.
“Okay. Please explain it to the princess so she can understand. “If you can’t handle it, I’ll go to the capital next time.”
When I couldn’t handle it. Then Lehel felt for herself what had happened.
It really didn’t happen that Louis went to the royal castle.
Instead, when the three magic towers collapsed, Terra Ernisten, who had not been seen for five years after the death of the demon king, sent her message through Horus’ lighthouse and resolved her situation.
It is said that the collapse of the Magic Tower was a terrorist attack by the remnants of the Demon tribe and was successfully suppressed.
“Yes~. Do not worry. “I’ll open the transfer door for you. Shall we send you to the academy?”
“No.”
Louis said with a small sigh at Lehel’s words.
“This matter needs to be completed properly. To the Princely Castle of Parenzia.”
“All right! See you later then.”
Lehel smiled brightly and saw him off.
When Lewis disappeared and the situation calmed down, she quickly picked up her crystal ball and replayed the King of Mons she had been watching earlier.
Then she frowned and covered her face with her hands.
“Ha, bitter…” … “You screwed up again.”
Grand Canyon was miserably defeated.
If you’re going to take down the magic tower, you’ll have to push it from the other side…
“No, now is not the time.”
Lehel’s expression turned fierce as she removed her palm and raised her lowered head.
She then threw off her crumpled white gown and instead draped herself in pitch black wizard’s robes.
“He was really cute when he was young, but when he grew up, the things he did were outrageous. “I wonder if she resembles her father or not.”
Hanging near her chest was the Grand Daupissier, a rusty and worn-out Four Leaf Medal.
The rosary worn on the left hand was a supreme magic bead made from the ground dragon’s molars, which has now disappeared.
“Transfer door. “Right now, connect to Erzebet Brunhart’s location.”
Lehel Darad.
The tower owner of Merak Tower, one of the seven great magic towers of Fenheim, and the chairman of the Farenzia Academy, the kingdom’s best educational institution.
And–
“I’ve been thinking about it since the Great War, but I guess this life has been a mess. Anyway, kids these days don’t listen at all.”
One of the five great dukes who founded Goyu Magic.
“I have to kill him half-way before he will come to his senses.”
Yun Hoe-gong (輪廻公).
