Episode 33
Vinchen continued.
“Why am I mocking Lord Vargon?”
“then?”
“It’s because you’ve never slandered the Mage Tower and your family.”
“I just didn’t feel the need to slander them.”
“That’s enough to change your name, but you didn’t even change your name.”
“It was just annoying.”
“Looking at his activities, he didn’t deviate much from the 6 Magic Tower.”
Julian defined a person called ‘Vargon’ like this.
A person who has been abandoned but cannot be abandoned.
Vargon frowned slightly.
“You seem to have researched a lot about me.”
“It wasn’t just an investigation.”
“What do you mean?”
Vinchen was silent for a moment.
“I saw myself in Lord Vargon.”
“…”
Vargon was speechless for a moment.
Vincen seemed to feel the same emotions Vargon himself felt.
“Because I too have been hurt for a long time.”
Daven knew Vargon’s heart better than anyone else.
Even when he was betrayed by his parents and left to rot in prison.
“Of course, there were much more times when I hated and resented him.”
But it’s family.
Being connected by blood was not something that could be defined with the single word ‘hate’.
He wanted to be acknowledged by his hated family, so he made a desperate effort.
I have always suffered from a double heart.
“But I couldn’t just hate it.”
So did Vargon.
Just cut it off and that’s it.
My head thought so, but my heart didn’t move that way.
“I guess that’s why it’s called Heavenly Principle.”
“…”
Vargon was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.
He, too, could roughly feel how difficult ‘ugly Vincen’ must have grown up in a family of geniuses.
“You must have had a lot of trouble at a young age.”
Vargon was able to give an answer while talking with Vincen.
It was not something Vinchen taught me, but I came to admit what I already knew.
‘okay. That must be the heavenly principle.’
In fact, he admired his sister, Barnelli.
I loved it as much as I admired it.
He readily acknowledged it.
Isn’t it funny if you can’t do what a kid like Vincen does?
“The way he saluted me was quite impressive.”
“Because Lord Vargon is my superior now.”
Vargon laughed.
“Sounds like you should do the same when you become a senior, right?”
“I didn’t mean that.”
Ha ha ha ha! burst out laughing
After talking with Vincen, Vargon was able to make up his mind.
‘I really like Vincen.’
He decided to sponsor this child who was in the same situation as himself.
Although he himself could not bloom in the end, a vague hope welled up that this boy might be able to fully bloom.
I made up my mind.
Vargon actually had one thing he really wanted to say to Vincen.
“By the way. I mean your maid.”
“Why is that?”
“They deflected the divine power of the 5th-class priest.”
It was a variable that even Julian could not have predicted.
“What does that mean?”
“It means that the body is perfect for learning magic. It is called a repulsive body because it reflects the divine power. Didn’t you know that?”
“…I didn’t know.”
“Maybe you don’t know. If you let me, I’d like to teach him some magic.”
“It doesn’t sound like you need my permission.”
The fact that Seri had a good constitution for learning magic was obviously surprising.
However, that wasn’t necessarily the reason why Se-ri had to learn magic.
“Then what do you need?”
“It must be the tax collector’s will.”
If the tax collector
wanted to learn magic,
Vinchen would not stop the tax collector.
“He’s a guy you don’t know. Even though I’m not a mage, I’m sure you know that I’m quite skilled among mages other than the tower, right?”
Usually, she would make her learn magic even if it was by intimidating her.
“of course.”
“But why are you rejecting this good opportunity?”
“I didn’t give up. I want to give the publican a choice.”
* * *
After the personal interview with Vargon, Vinchen returned to dormitory 5.
match! match! match!
Applause was heard.
Everyone was standing in a line and clapping.
‘This again…’
Vinchen was a bit absurd.
You’ll get applause.
After the commotion was over, I was going to take a break, but Selvira came to visit.
“Vinchen.”
Selvira was hiding something behind her back.
Its appearance was quite suspicious.
Vinchen instinctively came up with a possibility.
‘Ambush?’
Yulian let out a voice.
-No, what kind of ambush is an ambush at this timing!
Vinchen’s sixth sense, which reads everything instinctively, also had loopholes.
When it came to a world he hadn’t experienced, his intuition was often wrong.
-It’s a flower!
Of course,
it wasn’t an ambush.
“It is a gift. I brought it because it was pretty.”
It was a flower of unknown name.
“The language of flowers is courage to overcome fear.”
“…Why are you giving me this?”
It was completely incomprehensible from Vincen’s point of view.
“You made the cadets overcome their fears. As a representative cadet, I wanted to thank you.”
“….”
Vinchen accepted the flower.
A gift that you can’t eat or drink, and that doesn’t help you in your training.
I don’t know if this can really be called a gift, but I accepted it because I didn’t seem to have any malice.
Selvira laughed.
‘Looking at it up close, he seems more handsome.’
I asked half-selfishly.
“Are you dating anyone?”
“It’s pretty much there.”
Handmaid Seri.
valet wilson.
Revan swore allegiance.
Field Marshal Hansen.
Chamberlain Railsa.
Up to 5-star unmanned Jeron.
I thought I was dating quite a few people.
“…huh? Are there quite a few?”
Vinchen nodded, and Selvira laughed lightly.
‘Are you pushing me away already?’
A strange desire to win began to form in her eyes.
* * *
When asked if he would like to learn magic, Seri showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
“I will. want to do. Please let me learn!”
“You don’t have to force yourself to learn.”
“no. I really want to learn.”
“You can do it if you want.”
“thank you!”
The fact that she could learn magic made Seri very happy.
But she also had practical problems.
“By the way… that…”
Magic cannot be learned by anyone.
Basically, there is an astronomical tuition fee.
It wasn’t a problem since he could learn from Vargon, but the supplementary materials and textbooks needed to learn magic were beyond the level of a tax collector’s salary.
“don’t worry. Lord Vargon told me not to worry about the cost.”
Seri was overjoyed.
“I must work hard. I want to be a maid to help Confucius.”
“It’s still helpful enough.”
It was the tax collector’s skill that ironed the uniform in such a short time, and it was the tax collector who meticulously put the white badge on it.
Seri took care of everything carefully so that Vinchen would not feel uncomfortable in her daily life.
Vinchen was feeling sincere gratitude to the tax collector.
“Still, I want to become a more precious person.”
That blind love made Vinchen feel ashamed.
I couldn’t bear to say ‘I’m already a precious person’.
Vinchen turned and returned to the dormitory.
Shortly thereafter, Selvira came to see the tax collector.
“Hello Sherry. My name is Selvira. I’m a 9th grade representative cadet.”
“hello. This is Prince Vincen’s direct maidservant, tax collector.”
Selvira sighed and paused for a while.
“I’ll cut it out and talk about the main point.”
“I am comfortable with that too.”
“How can I win Vinchen’s heart? I don’t even know Vincen.”
Seri smiled.
“I don’t know either.”
“But you have tremendous trust in Vinchen.”
“I’m just doing my best to be helpful to you.”
“It helps.”
Selvira groaned again and touched her chin.
“okay. Thanks for the advice.”
I mean help
He’s a very rational guy.
She started walking down the aisle.
* * *
Shizen, the tacit representative of the 5 dormitories, approached him hesitantly.
It seemed like he was trying to say something.
“What is going on?”
“How can I…”
he wondered.
How Vinchen, who lacks mental imagery, protection, and physical abilities, was able to overcome Malone.
“I want to learn how you pushed out the intimidation trait.”
Vinchen sat on the bed and looked at Shizen quietly.
There was aspiration in Shizen’s eyes.
Her eyes were clearly different from when she first saw Shizen.
‘Good eyes.’
so he told me
A child with such eyes does not succumb to ‘intimidation’.
“If it were you now, it would be possible.”
“…is it possible?”
Shizen has been trampled on by Marlon for a year.
The fear of Malone was deeply ingrained.
“…Can I really do it?”
“can do.”
“….”
Vinchen’s words ‘I can do it’ came to Shijen like some kind of power.
Vinchen’s words felt like a revelation from God.
Vinchen continued.
“Get over it.”
“But…”
“If he can’t do it, don’t bother.”
Vinchen lay down as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.
You can lead a horse to the water’s edge.
But it is impossible to feed them.
Shizen bit his lip.
‘okay.’
If you haven’t seen it, you haven’t seen it, but you’ve already seen it.
Vinchen showed a new world.
Marlon was a fear he could overcome.
I learned from watching Vincen.
that I can do it too.
“Vinchen. I have a favor.”
“ask?”
“I will also formally challenge Marlon to a duel.”
Win or lose, I don’t think it matters.
“Maybe I might lose.”
But one thing was certain.
He would not be trembling in fear as before.
It will be different from before.
“I want you to watch over me. I want to fight in front of you.”
* * *
Marlon was a clawless tiger.
The pain of having his right wrist cut off and the experience of being overwhelmed by Vinchen were traumatic for Marlon, and he couldn’t properly utilize the ‘overpower’ characteristic.
Not only that, but the fear of blades has grown.
But Shizen was different.
‘can win.’
no.
had to win
Vincent was watching.
I didn’t want to show myself losing in front of Vincen.
‘I’m going to win.’
In the end, Shizen was able to win the duel with Marlon.
The cadets who had been suppressed by Marlon cheered again.
Shizen didn’t hear the applause of the cadets.
I only looked at one person.
‘I did it, Vincen.’
I could see Vincen from far away.
After watching the duel to the end, Vincen was the first to leave the arena.
The back of it felt somehow huge.
After the duel, Selvira came closer.
“They stared at Vinchen all the time.”
“Did I?”
“I thought you were a lover, what is it?”
Shizen laughed.
Selvira’s eyes widened.
“What is that smile? Do you really love Vincen?”
“What is love?”
Shizen knew exactly what emotions he was feeling.
‘east longitude.’
I felt it while fighting.
How much will Vinchen’s words ‘I can do’ have become.
“Selvira. Will I be able to surpass Vinchen someday?”
“well.”
I saw Selvira honestly having a hard time.
Vinchen was showing an outstanding figure among the 9th grade cadets who had recently joined.
“But I think Vinchen would say yes.”
Go beyond me if you can.
I got the feeling that you would be happy to say that.
Shizen nodded.
“Is that so too?”
he promised
He said that he would follow Vinchen, who was so far ahead, at least once.
