Episode 26
EPISODE.13
“Let’s see.”
Russell checked his pre-written checklist once again and packed his belongings into his backpack.
The sweltering heat of late summer meant that the school year was approaching.
‘If I don’t want to be late, I should start by now.’
Of course, there was no need to pack a backpack. Because he had a subspace named Inventory.
If necessary, it would be possible to drastically simplify your luggage and leave with only a single layer of clothing on.
but.
‘In that case, I’ll have to explain the inventory to the tower lord…’
There was absolutely no confidence in doing that.
At his current level, he couldn’t use subspace magic, and the pockets enchanted with subspace magic were also quite expensive items.
‘After getting into the carriage and leaving the city. I have no choice but to put the entire backpack in my inventory and throw it away.’
It’s been a while since I’ve been packing my luggage formally.
Daria, who was passing by, glanced around the room and murmured.
“Come to think of it, time has already turned this way.”
Looking back at the room Russell had been in for a little over a month, I thought for a moment.
‘Hmm. What should I do?’
Russell’s growth, she thought, was just beginning to gain momentum.
It means that it is the time when a hole, though small, begins to be drilled.
If the hole could be completely drilled and the water poured out, it would be possible to break the dam as well.
The fact that Russell had to be sent back in that situation was pretty disappointing for her as well.
‘That would be the same for this child, Russell.’
Even if it’s instinctive, you’ll feel that it’s an important time for yourself too.
So it was.
“Ah…”
The thing that called Russell, who was packing his things, stopped him.
“No, I am the youngest.”
since when
The fact that Daria’s title she calls herself has started to change little by little from Aiya to Maknaeya.
Perhaps it was after he recognized himself as an official disciple in Daria’s mind.
‘If that happens, will Professor Hubert become the death penalty?’
A short, nonsensical thought.
The important thing now was to answer Daria’s call.
“yes. Master.”
In response to Russell’s answer, who called him ‘teacher’ rather than the tower lord, Daria said, ‘You look like a quick-witted guy.’ muttered and laughed briefly.
He took out a pumpkin-flavored candy from somewhere and tossed it into his mouth.
“It’s a waste to go back to the academy in your current situation, so why don’t you go back after learning more under me for a month or two?”
“But Master.”
The reason why Russell, whose family was ruined, was able to attend a prestigious academy that required expensive tuition.
It was the power of the medal that Russell’s father, Earl Raymond, had received.
The story that Russell’s tuition is being paid by the royal family.
Unless you were expelled, you had to get a diploma.
But don’t go back to the academy.
Let’s briefly explain our concerns.
she said, crushing the pumpkin candy in her mouth.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry.”
who do you think i am
Daria, who had muttered that, moved her fingertips lightly.
Fire!
Light letters are engraved in the air along the fingertips.
‘Russell, I’ll keep this child for a few months.’
Russell’s eyes followed the letter.
‘I believe that he will take care of it on his own…?’
.
your master
Daria Snowwhite.
to Hubert.
.
A letter with unconventional content that is not even formalized.
The letter was possible because he was one of the top wizards in this country, not anyone else.
‘But if this happens, all the burden, Professor Hyobert-.’
No, Hubert’s brother-in-law would have to shoulder it alone?
Russell thought so, and Daria reached out.
He brought out an empty letter and pasted the letter of light on top, while tapping Russell’s shoulder with his other hand.
“I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Immediately after, he added in a playful tone.
“No. Even if a big problem happens, Hubert is the one who solves it. Wouldn’t that be his job?”
Surely he wouldn’t ignore the request of his sky-like master.
Zira Russell, whose giggling as he concluded his words, was the image of a teacher who wanted to bully his disciples, without knowing it, Sue (苦笑).
.
.
a few days after that.
Hubert smiled bitterly when he received Daria’s mail from Walkerhill Academy.
Like Russell, a laugh confirming the master’s playfulness.
“Finally, the two of you met.”
Somehow, it seemed that it would happen, so I never thought that what I had done would actually happen.
He moistened his mouth with the tea he was holding.
I checked the contents of the letter sent by my master once again.
A brief letter with only a brief note of what you want to say.
It’s an overly rude type of letter for an academy professor to receive.
However, after checking the contents of the letter, Hubert did not think it was rude.
He put on a faint smile that didn’t go well with his grumpy face and murmured.
“I should rather say that this is Master-like.”
He must have been giggling after leaving most of the annoying problems to himself.
However, it is not that difficult to deal with Daria’s request.
‘It’s rather easy.’
field practice.
Otherwise, it was a special dispatch request from the Mage Tower. There were any number of systems that could replace the number of attendance days for about two months.
In addition to that, the letter was stamped with the directing of the yeomtapju.
‘He’s playful, but he’s surprisingly good at handling things in this area.’
Hubert leaned back as he stuffed the letter with Daria’s seal into his bosom.
He buried his sore neck and shoulders deep into the chair.
When I closed my eyes, I remembered Russell leaving the academy.
From the professor and the student in charge, now to the relationship between the death penalty and the priest.
I don’t feel the slightest bit that the students were taken away.
The relationship between himself and Russell wasn’t completely cut off, and it would be better if he thought about his future.
I should congratulate you.
“To think that a new youngest priest was born at such a late age.”
It was only a little over half a year before Russell began to change.
However, it was Russell’s potential that literally showed an explosive growth rate in that short period of time.
and master.
Daria Snowwhite had enough ability to bloom that potential.
No Russell already.
‘I’m looking forward to the day I meet the youngest priest again.’
Thinking so, Hubert’s lips, which raised his body, seemed to have a spasm at the unfamiliar movement.
It was a little twitchy.
* * *
Two months.
Daria’s teachings over the past two months have gone beyond strict and even violent.
Teaching is violent.
I felt that the vocabulary was a little off, but I couldn’t help it.
Russell knew no better word to describe her teachings than violent.
Moreover, her teaching was not only deep, but also wide.
Teaching not only limited to theory, but also teaching that assumes practice.
The proof is this.
[Mission]
Defeat the Dwarf of the Flame Tower.
Deal with 7 Flame Dwarves summoned by Daria Snowwhite, the Tower of Flames.
1/7
It was a mission that came to mind when I first started fighting Daria.
At the same time, it was a mission that Russell hadn’t cleared even once in the past two months.
‘I succeeded in knocking down two or three of them.’
Because of the changes that took place after that, I have never been able to defeat all seven of them.
“Happiness, Happiness!”
“Happiness!”
The dwarves of the flames are frantically shooting everywhere and bang!
Russell, who greatly improved his physical abilities, kicked the floor.
passed between them.
“Hwarak!”
Along with the scorching heat, one of the dwarves stabs a spear of flame.
Knock!
As he planted his foot on the floor, Russell twisted his back.
With his right foot inserted as an axis, he swung his left foot like a whip.
-!
‘It’s a body made of flame, but its source is magic.’
If that’s the case, it would be possible to capture the entity by encircling magic.
bang!
With the heavy drinking, a dwarf flies away and lands on the floor.
Russell’s rounds kick pierced his chest.
“Wow… Rock?”
He slowly got up as he healed the hole in his chest.
Russell didn’t miss the chance.
The wind that worked with magical powers through the hole in his chest. exploded in the middle of it.
Air Bomb
3rd Circle The mana mixed with wind-type magic shook the guy’s roots with an explosion.
Cuckoo!
The sound of popping balloons.
The mana that formed his body exploded in all directions.
“Hwarak?”
“Furious?”
The dwarfs made an incomprehensible noise at the sight of their comrades exploding.
‘Two birds with this.’
The number of guys left is five.
“You always come this far.”
Daria muttered as she watched the scene while eating peppermint candy.
That was the beginning.
“Happiness.”
“Happiness?”
The temperature around them seemed to boil over, and soon the five dwarfs began to merge into one.
“Kuk!”
Russell moved quickly to stop it, but it was already too late.
“Quoooooo!”
The flame dwarf, no longer a flame giant, bursts into a roar with a body that has grown to the limit.
Then, the giant’s arm made of flame swung at Russell!
bang!
Fireworks exploded in all directions.
Even then, the remaining shock hit Russell’s body.
“Ouch!”
A shock enough to roll your eyes for a moment.
‘What would have happened
if the shield had not been opened in an instant .’
Horrible imagination just thinking about it. Of course, Daria really wouldn’t have gone that far.
This was an exercise based on actual combat.
“Quoooooo!”
Looking at the flame monster that had already become one body, Russell slowly controlled his breathing.
“Whoa.”
The reason why I haven’t been able to achieve a single mission in the past two months.
The reason was because of that giant of flame.
‘Today must be.’
Russell burned his fighting spirit.
Could it be because of solving the missions that came without rest while receiving Daria’s teachings?
The amount of Russell’s magic power was close to the 4th circle.
Those magical powers responded violently to Russell’s fighting spirit.
It bubbling and gushing out like magma from an active volcano.
Quaang Bang!
Dodges the flame giant’s attack and accelerates consciousness to the fullest.
‘Just because it has the appearance of a flame, there is no need to subdue it using water-attribute magic.’
After two months of experience, I came to understand that their source was not sparks, but inherent magic.
‘then.’
The magical power that makes him.
All you have to do is burn that magic itself!
Whoaaaaagh!
Russell Raymond.
Originality.
Blaze Lance.
The flame pushes away the giant’s heat, revealing the most powerful magic he can use along with the heat wave.
“As expected, it’s that magic again this time.”
Staring at the blaze lance, Daria muttered.
What a surprise it was when a magician who was only in the 3rd circle showed magic with the power of the 5th circle with originality.
Even now, the surprise and joy of that time are vivid.
“It’s obviously a surprising magic, but it’s impossible with that.”
If that was possible, I would have defeated the fire giant long ago.
Russell was well aware of that fact.
gritted it
Overheated the circle once again.
‘If I can’t do it with one foot!’
two feet!
According to Hubert’s reply, the number of attendance days can be substituted for about two months.
That period was also slowly coming to an end.
Daria could have extended the date if she was willing, but Russell himself didn’t want that.
All you want is to succeed in missions and grow within a limited period of time.
“Keugh-!”
Could it be because of the overheated mana circle?
The inside of my throat feels hot, like a ball of fire rising.
The fishy taste of blood lingers in your mouth.
As the signs of the second blaze lance faded, Russell intuited failure.
‘Not this time…’
That moment.
“uh?”
It was a strange sensation.
The feeling that the world spread out in front of my eyes has become a little wider.
I felt the mana load, which had been overheated until just now, stabilizing.
It’s as if another circle was formed and embraced the boiling mana-.
‘4th circle?’
faster than the question.
Instinctively completing the magic of the second shot, Russell threw down two spears made of flame.
It pierced the giant’s chest.
Wedges boom boom!
Roaring!
The fire that arose like a storm consumed the giant’s magical power.
“Quoooooo-!!”
