The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 28
Vargon had a question that must be resolved.
“Why did you leave the attendants alone?”
“When?”
“There were about a dozen blue tigers there.”
To Vargon, this was very important.
‘Did he move that way after knowing the habits of the Cheongan White Tiger?’
If Vinchen hadn’t had that in mind.
If it was only for the purpose, regardless of the well-being of the servants and maids.
The contents of the report on Vincenzo would have changed a lot.
Vincent said.
“Where do wizards think the pride of being a warrior comes from?”
“They say it comes from strength.”
Vinchen nodded.
Of course that is true.
But that wasn’t what he wanted to say now.
“The pride of a martial artist comes from protecting it.”
“…”
“I had to do that so I could protect them.”
In the end, Vincen brought out the best results.
That was the best way Julian and Vinchen found.
“I don’t know what would have happened if they were the real Blue Tigers.”
“If so, my method would have been different.”
Vargon kept his mouth shut.
Vinchen considered all factors and made the optimal decision.
No luck.
‘The rumors are wrong.’
The Vinchen he saw was by no means ugly.
After taking Vincen to the temporary accommodation, he immediately reported to the general manager, Herka.
“It was impressive that you said that a warrior’s pride comes from being protected. It was, in my judgment, more advanced than any direct descendant of Adenca.”
“Right.”
Herka listened to Vargon’s report.
7-star unmanned Herka.
As the head of the Red Fortress, she was an excellent warrior, but tended to look down on wizards.
Herka wasn’t unusual, but many warriors were like that.
“Sir Vargon, aren’t the bean pods too wet? If you were a direct descendant of Adenka, I think, you would have cut down everything from what you can see to what you can’t see.”
That’s what she thought of the warriors.
Vargon sighed inwardly.
‘also! also! He speaks ignorantly.’
The wizards did not understand the warriors, and the warriors did not understand the wizards.
There was a subtle wall between the two groups that could not understand each other.
“How many factors were taken into account by Prince Vincenzo to do this himself, and how many variables he controlled in that short moment! Don’t you know that?”
“Ah, if I knew that, I would have been a wizard.”
“….”
“Sometimes Sir Vargon said things that were too obvious. do not do that. grow old quickly.”
“…ha.”
Vargon let out a deep sigh.
It was to the point where I wanted to pour magic on those nasty people if possible.
“Who is his master? Are you saved?”
Strictly speaking, it was a ‘fortress’, not an ‘academy’.
It promotes promotion and assigns missions, but it does not help you achieve them.
Here, you have to solve everything on your own.
Usually, elders are dispatched from Adenka’s elders for the direct descendants of Adenka.
“No message yet.”
“No elders applied? not even one? at all?”
“yes.”
The problem is that the dispatch is in the form of ‘resources’.
There are several factions within the Presbyterian House, and the successors they support are all different.
“Really not?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I guess I couldn’t make one friendly elder by the time I was fourteen.”
“…”
“Well, there’s no way those foxy old people would help Vinchen, who has no friends. so? How did Confucius Vincent do it?”
“They say they sent a letter to their parents.”
“Correspondence? Come now?”
Herka’s eyebrows twitched.
“Isn’t that enough to make Lord Vargon see it wrong? I think you are expecting too much because you are unmanned and smart?”
How can a direct descendant who has not been able to find a teacher so far compete for succession?
To her, Vincen was already a loser.
“Then let’s go back. Don’t be lazy today.”
After finishing his report, Vargon visited Vincen again.
Vincen was unpacking and taking a break in the room assigned to him.
“What is it?”
“Because today is the last day we can treat Confucius as Confucius.”
From tomorrow, it will not be ‘Vinchen Confucius’, but ‘9th grade cadet Vinchen’.
The respect of today is gone.
So he had to check.
“How are you going to train Adenka’s swordsmanship?”
“I will hire a good teacher.”
It’s not support, it’s recruitment.
Vargon thought about it for a while, but couldn’t come up with a suitable person.
“Who is that?”
“You will know when you see it. I want to rest, so I’d like you to step aside.”
Vargon rose from his seat.
Vincen looked at Vargon, who was moving away.
In fact, he knew that Vargon had a crush on him.
You will have to respond to a crush with a crush.
So I told you part of the plan.
“I heard that there is an official schedule after entering the Red Fort.”
“yes. you’re right.”
It was also a schedule that attracted attention not only from Adenka but also from the public.
It was an event in which two families symbolizing swords clashed in the name of friendship.
The name of this event was ‘Friendship Exchange Meeting’.
It’s like an event where Adenka’s direct lineage and Samion’s direct lineage collide this time.
Even Vincen knew who his competition was.
‘The 6th Duke of Samion.’
will compete with him.
“After that day’s victory, my teacher will be decided, so wait and see.”
Vargon focused on one word.
‘Victory?’
By the way, there was only one occasion where Adenka surpassed Samion in the ‘Friendship Exchange’.
2nd Princess Deia.
Only she overcame Samion’s second princess and became the winner of the friendship exchange meeting.
“…I wish you good luck.”
I don’t know why, but I thought it would be nice if the victory Vinchen said really came true.
if that day comes
If Vinchen really wins.
Vargon added another word before going out.
“If you wish, you may apply for me as a sponsor.”
This was a fairly unusual proposal.
* * *
Originally, Vargon was home to the Mage Tower.
For those who dream of becoming wizards, ‘from the Mage Tower’ was truly an object of longing.
Wizards from the Mage Tower were given all sorts of support and benefits, and had many more opportunities to learn.
It was said that just being born in the Mage Tower was a blessing.
But with Vargon, the story was a little different.
-Look at your sister, you bastard.
Although Vargon is from the Mage Tower, he was born with relatively mediocre talent.
He has the protection of one of the middle-level gods of the magic system, and his understanding of magic and his ability to learn magic are just average.
In contrast, his older sister was a genius.
– Try to look like half of your sister.
At first he tried really hard.
To be like your own sister.
But that was impossible.
-I will leave the magic tower.
He could never surpass his sister in theories and studies.
Everyone dreams of the tower, but to him it was hell.
-If that’s what you mean, respect it.
His parents did not catch Vargon.
It would have been nice if you could have pretended to catch it.
Instead of studying magic, Vargon focused on gaining practical experience.
He became a mercenary wizard, fought against numerous monsters, and showed the power of a wizard in siege warfare.
One day he tried to return to the Mage Tower, but was denied entry.
The reason for the refusal to enter was clear.
-A shameless person who uses magic for personal gain.
Magicians are supreme and pure beings, and they must achieve the prosperity of mankind and development in the public realm.
But Vargon did not do that.
He may have been successful as a mercenary and made a lot of money, but his honor as a wizard was stripped.
At some point,
I completely lost contact with my sister, let alone my family.
‘Still, I’m glad they’re doing well.’
The sister raised the honor of the family by rising to the position of the head of the 6 Magic Tower.
She created numerous magical theories and formulas, and news of her was occasionally published in magical newsletters.
Father and mother also participated in the interview with proud expressions.
‘Please stay healthy.’
I gave up my honor as a wizard.
It was thoroughly moved for practicality.
Soon he was in his 40s and was able to sign a contract with the Adenka family on very good terms.
That was already 3 years ago.
Among those who are called ‘outside the tower’, they were quite successful.
But there was something that money alone couldn’t fill.
So far, he has been ignoring it.
-Open the gate of the fortress.
When I saw Vincen, the suppressed desire came up again.
He also wanted to be acknowledged.
He wanted to become a wizard who could follow in his sister’s footsteps even if he wasn’t as good as his sister.
But now we have come too far.
‘For some reason, I’m rooting for Prince Vincen.’
Vincen was in the same position as himself, and he is probably in the same position now.
It was said that he had recently changed drastically, but his position in the family was still very poor.
‘I wish you well. sincerely.’
Even if he projected himself onto Vincen, he had nothing to say.
However, it was sincere that Vincen wanted to leap to a higher place.
Vinchen clearly showed something to Vargon and stimulated something else.
– After the victory of that day, my teacher will be decided, so wait and see.
Vargon himself succumbed to reality, but Vincen did not.
Vinchen’s eyes were alive.
I promised victory that day.
‘Princess Vincen is doing things that I couldn’t do in my childhood.’
So now we had to wait for the results.
If Vinchen really wins ‘victory’, he intends to use the rest of his life for Vincen.
As if it were the last call.
* * *
Vinchen entered the temporary accommodation.
In fact, Vincen did not understand Vargon’s words properly.
‘Tell me about the guardianship system.’
– Wasn’t there a curriculum like this before?
Being separated from one’s home, living together with others, training, and being assigned a mission.
It was definitely a way of growing that existed before.
‘there was. But there was no separate guardian.’
-Then, what about lodging, clothing, and weapons?
‘Isn’t that something the family supports?’
500 years ago, all you had to do was concentrate on training and missions.
But now the world has changed.
The era of self-sufficiency has come.
Being able to solve everything by yourself is an essential ability of modern unmanned people or something.
‘They made training and sparring like flowers in a greenhouse. This part has become very harsh and harsh.’
-how is it? The bitter taste of a world centered on capital?
‘It’s quite bitter and scary.’
Since they couldn’t survive on the mission quota alone, they needed a ‘guardian’.
Finding a guardian was also evaluated as one of the cadet’s abilities.
Vinchen faced a crisis that was not a crisis for the first time since his reincarnation.
‘I’ve never made money.’
-Don’t worry. I’ve saved money for the time being.
Adenka was originally from a wealthy family, and various allowances were paid to Julian.
And Julian steadily collected the allowances and invested them in the ‘Six Magic Towers’ closest to Adenka, and the investment was successful.
It was because the target of investment had risen to Butopju a few years ago.
– It won’t be generous, but it will cover the basic living expenses. It’s called a dividend.
‘It’s a wonderful world.’
-The sub-tap owner is still young, and may become a pagoda owner. Then the money paid to me will double.
‘I didn’t know that such a system existed.’
– It’s not difficult. I bought her time with money. She swallowed it and will continue to work for me.
There were also downsides.
If the subtop owner dies, the investment money disappears.
-The sub-top master of the 6 Mage Tower won’t die so easily.
‘I guess so.’
Vincen and Julian only knew that.
That night.
The news of the death of Barnelli, the sub-tab master of the Six Magic Towers, reached the continent.
