Chapter 22 – 03. Is Bari the Archmage?
More than that, when was Java?
Are you still using that slow thing?
“Now, did you all hear? Magic is nothing to Bari.”
“… I have no idea what you mean.”
Yuina frowned seriously and spat out the words, ‘Anyway, I have a great talent for magic.’
It’s barely at the level of expressing my talent, but I can’t help it. These kids don’t know anything about advanced science.
In the first place, an AI of the size of Bari would not understand even 0.001% of the 10 million most prestigious human scientists in the place where I lived. That said, it is such a great existence.
“Since you have an excellent understanding of magic, you just need to know how to collect mana. I was supposed to guide you, but it might not be necessary.”
“Didn’t you just use mana to fire a fireball? You wrote a lot.”
I’m still floating
It’s too much and it’s hot.
“That is my mana.”
“Eh.”
“I didn’t have enough mana yet, so I borrowed the instructor’s link.”
I don’t know, is that it?
Like just linking magic to share or supply mana.
Why, when you watch anime or something, you supply mana by doing this and that with your familiar.
I think you should understand it roughly that way.
“Well, since it’s Bari, you’ll be able to gather mana right away.”
“No matter how great your magical talent is, collecting mana is a completely different story.”
“No, there are so many different stories. Even after feeling mana, they say that magic is a completely different story, and that understanding magic and accumulating mana is a completely different story. Soybean flour studies?”
“It is true.”
Huh. Bari can overcome anything.
“Anyway, if this happens, I’ll have to guide you again.”
“The words change a lot. Aren’t you a liar at this point?”
“What? Liar?!”
She is very excited.
For some reason, it was noticeable that the bust was swaying greatly.
“Ah. Are liars too much? What should I say?”
“Just shut up. Does it annoy you every time you open your mouth?”
“That’s too much. Shut up.”
“Did you tell me to shut up?”
“Why do I have to listen to that? Isn’t Bari more frightening than that?”
“To be a master who relies on a servant is unsightly.”
“If the servant is competent, there is no need for the master to be outstanding. It’s simple. After all, I am a savage who does not know civilization, so I don’t even know that.”
“Hey, savage? This, a human being, is a savage to this body that is a 『Noblesse』?!”
“Honestly, everyone below me is a savage.”
Even without magic, I can do everything with a single wave of my hand, and even create a simulation as gigantic as the universe.
This isn’t discrimination, it’s just a fact.
“Now that I see it, I am not arrogant. He was just a fucking guy.”
“Can the instructor use such words? You should write good and kind words. It’s not basic.”
“I….”
In the midst of exchanging words, someone interrupted.
She inadvertently burned and drew aggro, so I wondered if she was Bari, but it wasn’t.
An elf with blonde hair.
It was Eleanor, whose long ears were twitching.
“I’m really curious, but when did you two become so close?”
“”What?””
The same syllable with the same meaning that pops out in an instant.
It was truly the first grand choir.
“No… Does that happen in time… Come to think of it, there are people who witnessed Sihwan leaving the instructor’s house….”
She mumbled something dangerous, lost in her imagination at the topic that raised a huge topic.
“No way… Two minutes… ?”
Then, with an expression of disbelief, he tilted his head and decorated the finale.
Yuina’s face was as red as a ripe apple.
It’s not because I’m shy, it’s just that I’m very angry.
“Elf….”
“Hick, I’m sorry.”
“You say something very funny. That I, a proud 『Noblesse』, Had a relationship with a ‘human’ and nothing else?”
“I didn’t say that much….”
“Shut up! How can you laugh at me like this! Big…!!”
Something is getting too angry.
No one said anything about dating, but to imagine that all alone.
Is that it? I only held hands, but that’s planning a child.
“You are seriously ill.”
Now that I see it, it seems that I even have megalomania.
From cool sickness, Dojin, to delusion, to megalomania.
It’s varied. At this point, maybe Bari needs to be treated.
“The Instructor General and the four of you… !”
“Instructor General? Why is the Instructor General suddenly appearing?”
“… It is nothing.”
The feverish woman, who was angry, suddenly cleared her throat and died.
Normally, he always has a cold expressionless face, but when that mask is broken like this, a soft face emerges.
I mean, it’s a lot of different expressions.
“Wow… You look really friendly. So flawlessly. See you for the first time.”
“I would have said no! I wonder if you’ll give affection to a human!”
“Yes. Don’t give me either savage”
“For now, everyone calm down. Except for me anyway, everyone else is there, right?”
“No, what are you doing again?”
Even the bari with the slightly raised nose bridge was caught in it, making it a strange shape.
+++
“So… For the future of human slavery, it is sold to Mr. Sihwan with tears in his eyes… That’s what you’re saying.”
“It is not for sale. That it sells Like a human trafficker like this.”
“Huh. What’s the problem with that? Selling things for money is common sense. It’s even cheaper than a cigar.”
Somehow, I ended up at Yuina’s house.
Even with Eleanor.
As we talked over the meal Luna brought, we naturally started talking about Luna and myself.
The beginning is something like an extension of the conversation that took place on the playground.
It came out naturally as I was trying to explain the strange relationship between me and the instructor.
“Wow. But 10,000 gold… Is this the amount a human being can collect?”
First of all, it’s impossible with the trainee’s salary.
Besides, Yuina says that you have to buy it within a year, but is that so… ?
I’m a bit skeptical, but Yuina seems to have a different idea.
“It is quite possible.”
“Five?”
“This guy became class A class president this time. If you become class president, you will receive an additional allowance of 10 gold every month.”
What was that?
“And if you become the representative of the trainees, you will receive an additional 30 gold. A total of 70 gold will be paid every month.”
If 70 gold… It is an amount of about 7 million won in old won, so it is absolutely not a small amount of money.
There is no problem with eating and living.
By the way, how much do you want to bother people if you give them an extra allowance?
I’m a little scared
“And as I said, since he is a representative determined by rank, everyone below him must obey. If the trainees are enrolled in earnest, there will be at least 300 people under them.”
“Okay. I get that, but what does that have to do with collecting 10,000 gold? 70 gold per month is only 840 gold per year.”
“Heh.”
Yuina let out a laugh.
Something feels off
“You’re human, so your head is stiff.”
“Yes. The next grandiose delusion.”
“I have heard so much of your bullshit that I am no longer angry.”
“Okay? Would you like more?”
“The salary is not much, but the representative who receives the obedience of the trainees has other means.”
Are you ignoring me now?
“All trainees receive an allowance of 30 gold every month, 10 gold for the class president, and 5 gold for the vice-captain. You just have to bring this.”
“… Yes?”
What.
Did I hear wrong?
“Well, even if you pick it up, if you squeeze it to the point of starvation, there will be a lot of backlash, so you’ll have to adjust it appropriately.”
So, get the money from the trainees?
Are those words coming out of the instructor’s mouth?
“About 5 gold for living expenses per month, 10 gold for food, and 5 gold for other expenses. If we squeeze a little tighter, 12 gold per person is possible.”
“No, there.”
“Assuming that 500 of the 600 survivors pass the final exam, 6,000 gold per month. A total of 18,000 gold can be collected during the 3 months of training, so even if you buy Luna, 8,000 gold remains. That’s enough for Lina to buy as a set. Isn’t it good?”
“No, you crazy bitch.”
The whole thing is full of thoughts of selling slaves.
“What’s the matter again, man?”
“I’m asking you to rip off the money, can the instructor say something like that?”
“Why? Rather, you are in a position to benefit, so what are you dissatisfied with?”
“Under… That’s right.”
It’s not particularly important…
It’s good to have more money…
By the way…
“You secretly continue to talk only in the advantageous direction, but I have never answered with a definite answer that I will buy Luna. I said think about it.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. A human man who is sexual desire itself doesn’t buy a pretty woman? Do you want me to believe that?”
“Humans are not all one-dimensional.”
I don’t know where you heard that, but I’m not that one-dimensional.
Above all, there is no basis for me to buy Luna even for 10,000 gold.
“The subject of having an elf girl as his exclusive his, his mouth his is ripping off. Get rid of the guy next to you and tell me.”
“….”
“Hmm… Hmm… “
Ellie, who had just been eating soup, coughed in surprise.
Ah… Eleanor…
You cowardly compete with facts.
“Oh, no, I didn’t choose that with that in mind.”
“No?”
Food.
Yuina laughed openly.
“I’m betting all my money on you guys touching an elf.”
“All your property? How many are there?”
“1,200 gold.”
“What. You are very beggar.”
“Hey, are you? 1,200 gold is a lot of money!”
I guess so. It will be roughly 120 million won in old won.
But that’s a human standard, and you’re a “Noblesse.”
Come to think of it, a guy who should have lived for hundreds of years can’t even buy Luna because he doesn’t have 10,000 gold?
Does this make sense?
“… I am now thirty.”
“Eh?”
“Oh! If you’re 30, you’re seven times younger than me… Hmmmm… Sorry.”
Thirty years old, this guy…
Isn’t it like three or four years old in terms of human beings?
Weren’t you just a little kid?
“What. Did you lose your campaign like that at just that age?”
“Yusera!”
“What did you say? Average… “
“Average 40. Age is important from the point of view of a human who lives a lot before and after 60. But it means nothing to those who are here. Because they live at least 20 times as much as humans.”
“Five. Right. It was.”
Also Bari. Very accurate.
“T-it’s not wrong, so what does it matter? Don’t talk more than that!”
Yuina’s face turned red.
It’s not as red as before, but it’s cute as it is.
“What did I say?”
“You said you didn’t choose elves for that purpose, did you? Then prove it!”
“I? Why?”
“Huh, heh. I’ve spit out the words, but it seems like I’m not confident. I understand. Humans are like that.”
“Do you think you will fall for such a cheap provocation?”
What do you see me as….
Rather, I think you will pass more easily.
“You seem to be very confident in your thoughts, so shall we make a bet?”
“… Shihwan?”
“Betting?”
“Okay. What are you going to do if I don’t touch Eleanor until I finish?”
“Huh. Completion? Funny dude. I can’t stand it for even a month. I bet all my possessions.”
“Then if I don’t touch you for a month, you owe me 120,000 gold.”
“What, what? 120,000? What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden!”
“If you’re scared, you’re going to die.”
Bang!
“Dog sound! I must have said that my entire wealth was 1,200 gold.”
“Isn’t this house property? Huh? What about these utensils? It’s annoying to bring something like this, so I just threw in 120,000.”
“The house is not in my name, and even if I put all these tableware together, such an absurd figure doesn’t come out. Sophistry is enough.”
“You should also calculate your potential wealth. If you’ve just stepped out into society, and you’ve accumulated 1,200 gold, that means you’ve got quite a bit of pocket money, right? On top of that, since they are academy instructors, they will receive a much higher salary than graduate students, and considering that they are famous 『Noblesse』, There must be expenses for maintaining dignity just by existing. If you calculate this and that, you will never get 1,200 gold. Rather, 120,000 will be eaten cheaply, right? Or do you think you’re not worth it? It seems that Noblesse is surprisingly not a big deal, right?”
Pudeuk.
Pudeudeuk.
Oh i’m grinding
That’s a very good sign.
“Either he or he was not confident in what he said. Well, either way, you’re nothing.”
Hard.
Oh my gosh.
I’m crushing the desk with my grip.
Did you drag it too much?
“That… They say…?”
A dark voice is heard.
Something doesn’t feel right
“Sihwan-nim… ! I told you not to aggro!”
Barry hurriedly whispered.
No, but I also happened to be like this…
I didn’t mean to…
And since this guy is strangely foolish, I thought I’d be able to coax him out.
“After… If you say that, I can’t help but agree.”
Five. Asked
Look at it I can seduce you well
“By the way, you’re saying something like that with the intention of offering that kind of security, right? I would have to bet the value equivalent to 120,000 gold, but of course I can’t accept IOUs like you, who are human and have no property.”
“….”
120,000 gold worth of collateral…
There’s no such thing as me.
Oh
If you think about it, it’s natural, but was it too hot?
If this is the case, I just let the heat grow without any harvest.
“I can’t help it. Then even 1,200 gold—”
“Pick it up. Are you going to bite me now? There’s no way.”
“….”
I guess I’m more upset than I thought.
“If you win, that is, if ‘Ryu Si-hwan’ does not sexually touch ‘Eleonor’ for a month, I will write an IOU for 120,000 gold. Of course, since I alone cannot guarantee the value of 120,000 gold, my family will stand as a guarantee, and I will notarize it by swearing in front of Mana and Norbling.
As a basic condition, first, ‘Eleanor’ and ‘Ryu Si-hwan’ stay in ‘the same house’ for one month, which is the validity period, and sleep ‘together’ in ‘same bed’ in ‘same room’. Second, I, ‘Yuna’, should also stay in the same house as ‘Ryu Si-hwan’ and ‘Eleanor’ so that I can always monitor their activities. Third, ‘Ryu Si-hwan’ and ‘Eleanor’ should be together for more than 16 hours a day.”
Some big words came pouring out.
I thought it was pure nonsense, but does it become eloquent when you get really mad?
Is it too bad than that? Sleeping in the same bed?
“How about it, is there something worth presenting?”
Yuina looked at me and smiled viciously.
I don’t even care about soup anymore.
Rather, it is worth 120,000 gold…
Of course not.
Should I apologize and step back? I’m a bit proud of myself.
“No-“
“If you don’t have it, pay it back with your body.”
“Eh.”
“To be precise, it’s the price of this doll rather than yours, but since you’re the owner anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s yours.”
“What.”
“I will admit that your ransom is equivalent to 120,000 gold in the name of ‘Yuna. Now, then you have something worth presenting.”
Yuina swung her arm.
The table was cleaned as various cutlery that had been placed on the table flew to one side.
And something that emerges.
I only heard… And it’s a magic circle that you only see in games.
“Come on, respond quickly.”
Could this be oath magic? Could it be anything like that?
It often appears in novels or anime… An oath to the soul.
You’re completely sincere, this guy;
I must have upset you too much.
“Why can’t you?”
To me who couldn’t speak easily, Yuina showed her white teeth.
“If you’re scared, you’re going to die.”
