Episode 22
“Hey…You really did.”
With an expression of disbelief, the count looked around at the mana stones tightly packed in the tomb.
Count Paslov’s wizard, who was looking around, exclaimed with excitement.
“Count, this is the first time in my life that I have seen a mana stone of such high purity! Besides, it’s such a large amount… …How much is it even worth… …!”
“Heh heh, it’s a place we haven’t been able to capture even though we’ve sent a professional exploration team so far, so easily…”
“I suffered a little bit.”
“It doesn’t look like you’ve suffered at all, but I have to admit it.”
The Count pretended not to have won and continued.
“…Really successful.”
“I never make an offer I cannot keep.”
“Huh yes it was.”
The Count smiled bitterly.
“Maybe I was blinded by the rumors, I couldn’t think of what kind of family the Walpurgis belonged to. That bloodline is all like that… …”
Family lineage is never something to be ignored.
Especially for a magical family like us.
“Then, since I succeeded in clearing the dungeon as per the contract, I will receive half of the stake in the dungeon.”
At my words, the Count secretly looked elsewhere, sighed, and then started to act out of place.
“Kuh hmm. It’s time to take medicine again, so I can’t remember… …“
As the Count knows, according to Article 32 of the Imperial Law…”
“I know! Admit it! I’ll take care of everything according to the contract, so don’t put pressure on me like that!”
The count grabbed his chest and grumbled, as if it was a waste of time.
“Aww! If I knew this was going to happen, I would hit it harder! Why did I suddenly accept the offer… …!”
“It is already too late.”
Of course, even if the Count was so sorry for it now, he wouldn’t think that he had really suffered a loss.
As the days went by, the burden of attacking the dungeon increased.
He had already spent enough money to put Yeongji’s finances in jeopardy, but since there was no harvest, his mouth must have dried up day by day.
As a count, it would have been best to clear the dungeon as soon as possible.
‘I dug that gap.’
I spoke to the Count once more as confirmation.
“By the way, the contract was copied and sent directly to our family. Even my father… …”
“I know! I know you don’t have to say more! The more I listen, the more I use my mouth.”
The Count muttered, scratching his head.
“Do I look like someone who doesn’t keep promises? People still have to have faith.”
“I’m the type of person who likes certain things.”
“Okay.”
The Count looked at me for a moment with a bitter expression, then continued.
“By the way, speaking of that story. What are you going to do with what you decided to give us?”
“You mean the Mulière training method?”
“Yeah that.”
Of course I knew that would come out.
For the count, of course, this must be very important.
“As you know, when it comes to Auror training, the sooner you learn it, the better it works. As for me, I want you to fulfill your promise as soon as possible.”
“What do you have time for?”
There was some time left until the next schedule, and there are some things to test here.
“Let’s start today.”
* * *
“Did you hear that?”
Recently, the knights of Count Parslov’s family have been talking about strange topics.
“I heard that Master Rian got a swordsmanship teacher…”
“Swordsmanship master? No, a person skilled enough to teach him recently came in? I didn’t hear.”
Lian was the pride of all the knights of Count Parslov.
Of course, the teacher who taught Lian’s swordsmanship had to be a master of swordsmanship.
So, the knights who heard the rumors naturally thought that the swordsmanship teacher would be a knight with a reputation in the empire.
but.
“I don’t think so.”
“…huh? What are you talking about?”
“Bocchan’s swordsmanship master. Well, it’s not a famous article.”
“What is that…No, if it’s not an article, what the hell is it? I’m not going to say that you’re a wizard.”
“I heard you’re a wizard.”
Hearing this, the knight widened his eyes.
“…what?”
“I heard that the teacher who teaches the master’s swordsmanship is a wizard.”
Hearing this, the stunned knight opened his mouth with difficulty.
“No crazy.”
Meanwhile at that time.
“Ah! Aagh!”
Exactly opposite the back of the mansion.
Ryan was screaming sadly and running in all directions.
* * *
“Teach me how to train! It’s called Mulière’s training method!”
Rian screamed desperately as she jumped up and down to avoid my magic missile.
“I am teaching you now.”
Three days had passed since I started teaching Lian how to practice Mullière.
“Since then, I have been teaching them very well. How gentlemanly I am teaching.”
[Did the word ‘gentlemanly’ change while I was asleep?]
Set next to me grumbled, but pretended not to hear.
If I had answered anyway, it would have been obvious that I was talking to myself for nothing.
‘It’s not even visible to others.’
The current set was in a state that only I could perceive.
It is completely invisible to Rihanna and even to the butler’s eyes.
The butler seems to think that a peculiar aura hovers around me.
‘In the end, the nature of the set doesn’t seem to notice at all.’
Maybe it’s her strength.
[Because there is nothing good about being seen by others.]
Oh, that’s right.
[I have no intention of showing such a humiliating appearance.]
Set continued as he sat on my shoulder.
[By the way, you inject the training method in a rather interesting way. It’s not a bad way.]
“Did you notice?”
[Aren’t you naturally inducing and recognizing the flow of mana? Anyway, knights aren’t the kind that handle mana delicately, and it’s not a bad training method.]
I didn’t stop manipulating magic while talking to Set.
The magic missile was really persistent and aimed at every part of Lian’s body.
“Ah! Bone hit, bone!”
“Congratulations.”
“What bullshit…Aagh?!”
Before he could finish his words, the magic missile, which moved smoothly, hit Lian’s stomach.
The boy sat down and gasped for a while.
“Mr. fuck uh huh…What kind of guy’s training is like this… …”
“You don’t have to worry at all because it’s a training method I learned from a verified person. don’t die.”
“What kind of crazy person came up with this type of training?! The rules I heard from you were completely different?!”
what kind of madman you kid you
The future you made.
Those words soared to the throat, but I forced myself to press them.
– Even a wizard needs a minimum amount of strength, Mikhail!
Even now, when I think of how he roasted me with those words, my teeth grieve.
I smiled warmly at the guy lying on the ground.
‘Comfortable after.’
I never thought someone’s pain would turn into such joy.
I approached the man who was out of breath.
“Now move the mana as you just did.”
“…now?”
“Uh now.”
It didn’t look very good, but anyway, Rian started moving mana slowly as I said.
and.
“…uh?”
Lian opened her eyes wide and saw the clear aura on her sword.
The aura was clear and sharp as usual.
But if there’s anything else… ….
“You are fine.”
He looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
“Certainly, the burden on my body is much less than usual. What has changed?”
“It’s just that you don’t feel it, but it’s changed enough.”
I pointed towards the body of the guy who was hit by the magic missile.
“I bet you didn’t think I hit you without thinking.”
“Wasn’t it?”
“of course. What do you see me as?”
It wasn’t without personal feelings, but in any case, this was thoroughly done according to what Lian had taught him.
“The process of you moving mana to counter my magic was part of the ‘training method’.”
“Heh heh.”
It’s a method that can’t be taught unless it’s me.
This is not something that can be simply explained in words or writing.
“Remember the feeling that you are moving mana. Because that’s what’s most important. If you keep practicing without forgetting, the training method will naturally become perfect.”
“…Are you actually able to use it? He wasn’t a wizard, but he was actually a knight.”
“No way.”
“Then how the hell do you know all this?”
Ryan looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know if I simply memorized the rules. If you are able to teach others in this way, you should have an expert level of Aura understanding.”
“Okay.”
yes now you don’t know
“Aura or magic, in the end, it’s up to you to use it. I mean, there is no difference.”
“What nonsense…”
A look of incomprehension.
Of course it doesn’t matter.
After all, he will understand sooner or later.
I even suggested a shortcut, so that time will be even faster.
‘I’m looking forward to that time.’
probably don’t know
Mülière training method.
The end point is convergence.
Because it is a special state where everything can be accepted.
* * *
After Lian’s guidance, I immediately sent him out.
As long as the map is over, this is now completely my own space.
I talked with the Count in advance and got a definite answer.
[Hmm, there’s definitely no one around. Now you can talk freely.]
As soon as Ryan was gone, Set got off my shoulder and busily walked around.
[Surprisingly, nothing has changed in the world. There are things that have changed, but not too much.]
“Because civilization revolves around.”
[You’re not wrong.]
Set shrugged and asked me.
[So what are you going to do? It’s a personal thing to do without anyone’s involvement. Shall I avoid the seat too?]
“No, you don’t have to.”
I shook my head and stretched out my hand.
Then, it slowly started to create a ‘storm on the set’.
wheeik.
The wind whirled slowly over the palm of my hand, then turned into a small storm and began to spin violently.
[Ah, are you planning to test the ‘storm’? Well, it’s not something that can only be used for defense.]
“It’s better to find out how to use it as much as possible.”
Even if the ‘Storm’ we got before returning is fake, the characteristics themselves are not very different.
strong shield.
And depending on how you use it, it can be a powerful weapon.
[Heh, it hasn’t been long since I got it, but to call it out so freely… …Are you really not a dragon or something like that?]
“No.”
I focused on the storm swirling in the palm of my hand.
[I can tell you how to use it if you need it. Even if you look at it like this, I’ve been in charge of it for a long time, so I know it well.]
“I’ll use something you don’t know.”
[What?]
Set, who had a ridiculous expression on his face, laughed at me.
[No matter how badly you try, it’s ridiculous that you’re discussing how to use ‘Storm’ in front of me. I see you’re still young and don’t know how to use divine objects… ….]
“Spinning is the essence of mana.”
I roughly cut her off and moved the storm slowly.
“Especially when it comes to the level of being sick, it has infinite ways to use it.”
The storm before the return was not mine.
However, as a wizard, there was a lot of interest, so I analyzed it from time to time.
And I made an assumption.
‘Can I use this for my self-circulation?’
Basically, the principle of autonomous circulation is ‘multiple mana circulation’.
And this multi-mana circulation is subject to considerable restrictions on ‘rotation’.
Until now, all the flaws that existed in the self-circulating system were caused by not catching this right away.
But what if we solved this by using a storm?
[Uh uh…?! wait a minute What are you doing?! What are you doing now… …!]
Set, who seemed to have noticed what I was about to do, gave a wide-eyed shriek.
yeah that’s a crazy idea
But because… ….
“I have to do it right now.”
Without hesitation, I released the storm from within.
Great mage who transcends by regression
