[ Episode 189. The sisters’ past and the beginning of the war]
The place I followed Ivy to was her assistant classroom.
It is a space where you can do your personal command and work together, and it feels different from the professor’s office.
“Sit down.”
Ivy rummaged through the shelves, pointing to a random spot.
“Is it okay to leave Noah alone?”
“uh. If I cared anyway, I would have hated it more.”
“Are you real sisters?”
“okay.”
She immediately brought out the fresh water and placed it in front of me.
Why did you search the shelf when you were going to give me plain water?
“Why are you living separately?”
“If you know, it hurts.”
That’s an instant answer.
But isn’t it strange that anyone can see it?
I couldn’t help but wonder that he was working as an assistant professor here alone, leaving his younger brother who was caught in something related to black magic in a foreign country.
“More than that, Adrias. Did you notice?”
“yes.”
You must be asking about Noah.
I said it honestly.
I don’t want to go round and round.
“I can’t go into detail. Not a very good memory.”
“Are you sick?”
“Should I call it painful? To be precise, it should be said that the side effects are severe.”
“Side effects…….”
It didn’t seem like a curse, so it was rather fortunate.
Still, it didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary, so I stared at her mouth, and Ivy shook her hand.
“What are you messing around with? It’s burdensome.”
“Didn’t you call me separately to tell me something?”
“That’s true, but I’m hesitating when you call me.”
She sighed and set it down on the table.
“Noah and I were sold by our parents to a warlock. And Noah was subjected to a living experiment.”
I unexpectedly heard about her past.
It’s a past that I couldn’t hear even though I tried so hard in the game.
Apparently, Noah was the trigger.
“sorry. I didn’t know that such a thing existed.”
“What are you sorry about? I called to hear you. Anyway, I managed to escape somehow, but the trauma of that time still remains. Noah’s body got a little weird from the biological experiment.”
She said it calmly, but it is assumed that the experience was more horrifying than expected.
That’s why the hatred towards the black magician is so overflowing.
“It’s not life-threatening, so what can I say? To be honest, neither I nor Noah himself is in a situation where he doesn’t know how his body is. Sometimes there are times when the power that exceeds one’s ability is exerted, and after that, I was sick with side effects for a while.”
“It must have been a biological experiment.”
“It’s a guess. I don’t know either.”
She shrugged and then looked at me seriously.
“The reason I bother to tell you this is because I don’t want you to tell me anywhere else. Did you already notice something strange? I don’t like people called wizards.”
“I am also a wizard first.”
“Tell me while using magic. What about the subject of swinging a sword every day?”
I have nothing to say.
Certainly, as she said, Noah’s body had a feeling that wizards would be curious about.
There must be no research material more interesting than the result of a black magician’s living experiment.
“On the day rumors spread, your life is gone.”
“Nothing like that. Ivy than that.”
“Call me assistant.”
“Teacher Ivy. May I take a look at Noah?”
“Did you hear what I just said, you bastard? Will you allow me?”
“Seriously, do you know why I just stopped sparring?”
Ivy frowned for a moment at my words and asked.
“What?”
“That spirit of Noah. A little while ago, the teaching assistant said that there was no danger to life, but it was a dangerous feeling. If you continue to use that energy, maybe…….
”
“Why am I lying?”
“Because you’re a wizard, you can tell lies.”
Living in Ivy’s eyes began when she was young.
Anyway, this nobleman always tries to use his hands first.
“It’s fine if you don’t like it. Because I see people dying right in front of me because of my morale, I was trying to save them, because if my family members say they don’t like it, I have no obligation to do anything about it.”
“……Really? Are you really saying that Noah could die?”
“Then, assistant, did you consider that power to be normal? Unusual power always comes with a price. I’m sure you know well, too, right?”
Ivy bit her lip and placed a hand on her forehead.
However, she eventually shook her head.
“This is not something I can decide. It’s up to Noah to decide.”
“Are you saying you will accept that decision, even if it means death?”
“no. It’s not, but it’s not clearly visible, so I can’t feel it. Can I ask Noah and give him an answer?”
“yes. If she likes it, it would be better to ask the Lord of the Bahat Magic Tower rather than me. I don’t care if I trust him or not.”
“okay.”
Ivy sighed and clapped her hands.
“Can you think about it?”
“yes. I’ll just go.”
thud.
When I left the classroom, the sunset was setting outside.
I contacted the kids in advance, but I feel sorry for nothing.
‘Noah Claire. If he hadn’t met me, he would have died.’
The reason why I couldn’t keep attacking Ivy in the game could also be because Noah was already dead.
But now, she is alive and has a vague idea of the cause of her body.
If possible, I wanted to make it better for Ivy.
Ivy, who became the youngest Auror Master, could have been a pretty reliable ally.
“I can’t stay still.”
I couldn’t just suck my finger until Ivy gave her permission.
I have no choice but to step out myself.
**
Luxurious wagons were passing slowly through the snow-covered land.
Inside the carriage, Viscount Bagil, the recruiting officer in the Handelsten region in the northern part of the empire, was awake at the sudden news.
“Is that true?”
-That’s right! Even now, we are openly building a position in front of us!
“Did you tell the imperial palace about this?”
-yes! Baron Pasto is reporting himself!
“Once you know. We’ll have to wait until the next directive from the imperial palace, but don’t rush the recruitment.”
-thank you!
Viscount Bargil, who cut off contact, sighed and covered his face with one hand.
“Those who ate rain are really crazy. I’m still tired to death.”
The news that came in a hurry was that the barbarians were gathering and building a camp right in front of the northern fortress, the Valley of Wailing.
Viscount Bagil was recruiting by traveling around the northern territories according to the emperor’s order.
The savages in his heart were just ignorant idiots, so the situation didn’t feel serious. I was just filled with irritation from not having enough time to receive entertainment anymore.
“Jackson! Are you out there!”
“Did you call, sir?”
“They say barbarians are building a camp in front of the Valley of Wailing right now.”
“Are the savages serious? There’s a lot going on.”
“Did you notice we were about to attack first? It’s a rare thing. Rather, there was no more room for chatting. Now I really need to work.”
“All right. Then, I will put a message in the territories that passed by.”
“okay. Please take good care of me.”
When Jackson disappeared, the viscount opened the bottle and poured the entire bottle into his mouth, grumbling.
“It’s a position I got after a long time, but I can’t even pull out mulberries. I still have a place to collect money, so I won it now.”
Aww!
thump thump!
Suddenly there was a commotion outside.
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the carriage and the viscount opened the window, and a subordinate appeared with an urgent expression.
“Your Excellency!”
“What’s the fuss all of a sudden?”
“Barbarians right in front of the bar!”
“What nonsense, this is Handelsten! What else to do with some beggar bums and make a fuss!”
“It’s not that, it’s really……”
Pew!
The head of the subordinate who was reporting suddenly exploded.
Brains and blood smeared on Viscount Bagil’s face, and soon screams began to emerge from all over the place.
“What is this …….”
Handelsten was sure that it was an area bordering the northern part of the barbarian tribes, but there were rugged northern mountains, so he was assuring that he could never come over.
The common sense of Viscount Bagil, who knew that the only way to enter the interior was to pass the Gorge of Lamentation, was shattered by the scene of the slaughter taking place in front of his eyes.
“A splendid carriage.”
As there were not so many escorts and soldiers, the battle ended quickly.
A particularly large and tattooed man soon approached the carriage.
“Are you noble?”
“This body is Viscount Huston Bargil of the Great Lordlen Empire! Do you think you guys will be safe even if you dare to touch this body?”
“You are noble.”
The big man with a big smile immediately struck down the ax dripping with blood.
Fuck!
“Quaaaaaagh!”
As Viscount Bagil, whose wrist had been cut, screamed, the man quietly added another word.
“If you don’t keep quiet, I will cut the other side as well. I won’t kill you as long as you keep calm.”
“Keep.”
Viscount Bagil covered his mouth with his free hand and looked at the man with fearful eyes.
“The introduction is late. This is Suitu, the chief of the Great Mankara tribe and the commando leader of the invasion force. Please take good care of me.”
Suitu gave a creepy smile and soon stunned Viscount Bagil.
**
The weekend is over and the day has finally arrived for the finals of the tournament.
My next opponent was a senior in the same Faculty of Magic.
Just because a student from the Faculty of Magic made it to the finals meant that he had pretty good skills, so even as an extra character, I was quite impressed.
“Is this the first match? nice.”
I’ll be the first to finish, so I can go see my errands.
The stadium we arrived at was already full.
However, unlike before, the VIP seats were quite empty.
‘Is it because of the war?’
It should be underway by now.
Perhaps the Imperial side is in a situation where they are not paying attention.
“Hey, you’ve been waiting a long time! The round of 32 of the 59th Spring Tournament will be held soon!”
I left behind the voice of the emcee I hadn’t heard in a long time and put my face out in the arena.
The heat from the crowd made my face tingle.
“It’s Adrias!”
“Senior Adrias!”
The guys who usually gossip at a distance and can’t talk to each other got the atmosphere right.
I just calmly looked the other way and tried to get the head start.
I’m sorry, but I’m thinking of ending it quickly and leaving.
As I expected, the other person didn’t know what to do when I stared at him.
This is the power of fame.
“……This time, the green corner! Will we finally show a proper match? Rodlen’s monster advanced to the finals with 5 consecutive wins! Adrias Cromwell!”
But when did the nickname “monster” come about?
Among the many, many cool nicknames, I really don’t like the monster.
After the introduction of the moderator, me and my opponent stood up on the field.
Even in the audience, I could feel that the fuss had stopped and they were quietly watching us.
“Hong Are you ready?”
“yes!”
“Are you ready?”
“yes.”
“Then……the match begins!”
I pretended to draw my sword and immediately deployed light magic.
Protect my eyes in advance and with maximum output…….
Tak!
A cheerful sound echoed and the light exploded.
There was no effect on the audience because the anti-magic barrier was spread, but the opponent was immediately taken aback by the unexpected attack.
“Oops!”
While screaming strangely, he quickly approached the opponent who was about to deploy attack magic.
“sorry.”
Then, he put the shockwave, an intermediate magic, in his hand and hit the opponent as it was.
supportive!
End with that.
The opponent fainted and fell.
“What is it?”
“end?”
Voices of bewilderment came from the crowd at the match that ended so overwhelmingly.
The referee blew his whistle and declared the end of the game.
“Red corner Adrias Cromwell wins!”
“what’s this! You didn’t even draw your sword?”
“It was over too soon!”
“Magic?”
“Is this a Rodelene monster that can use both sword and magic?”
A mixture of disgruntled voices and cheers erupted.
