Episode 217. Lesson (2)
Marcelo Simuard.
The possessor of a talent that even the demon king, who was a parasite of the Simuard family, coveted. Nothing stood in the way of his innate talent. There was a story like this floating around in the Continental Mado family.
“They say he is one of the best geniuses in the Seymourd
family…”
“This is a talent worthy of aiming for a senior position in the Mage Tower.”
Because they are from a magical family, they know better than anyone what kind of place the Mage Tower is. However, it’s not like entering the Magic Tower, but it’s evaluated as enough to fill the position of a senior.
One could object that it was an exaggeration.
The back story didn’t come out.
It has to be.
“Such a boy has mastered the magic of all mainstream sects!”
around the age of fifteen.
Marcelo is the magic of the twenty sects that supports the mage tower.
It was because he was able to freely express mainstream magic to an intermediate level.
There was no way that such a Marcelo would be held back by entering the Mage Tower.
“Is that little boy Seymourd’s child?”
“Oh my.”
“You seem quite unfamiliar with chatting about apprenticeship.”
Apprentice wizards in the Mage Tower are treated like newbies.
I couldn’t belong to a sect, and I didn’t have the ability to prove it. But Marcelo was an exception. Ever since he was an apprentice wizard, he has received numerous glares from his superiors.
‘It’s an incomparable talent.’
‘Desirable but dangerous.’
‘…Rather, to the extent that it could threaten my position.’
Only apprentice wizards are checked by senior wizards?
Something unimaginable in the past and now.
No, it was unprecedented in the history of the Mage Tower.
Some even let out a sigh of relief.
“You should be thankful that you are not of his generation.”
Even if you are the owner of a great talent.
Because the magic tower was a space that wasn’t easy.
Even if Marcelo could threaten their place.
Because it will take quite a bit of time.
Such complacency, of course.
“…Simouard passed the preliminary inspection?”
“You haven’t chosen a faction yet, have you?”
“Could it be that you finished your research during your apprenticeship!”
Skilled in apprenticeship.
It’s like waiting for a promotion.
It disappeared thanks to Marcelo who passed the preliminary inspection and attended the regular conference.
From that point on, Marcelo became a rival to the seniors.
“It depends on which faction he chooses.”
“One of us would be in jeopardy.”
“Such nonsense…”
But.
Marcelo once again exceeded expectations.
It is created without choosing.
『Theoretical Magic』.
It is credited with changing the history of magic.
A whole new faction.
It has been known since then.
Theoretical magic has advanced all magic to the next level, and Marcelo has been recognized for it and is a senior wizard. And he rose to the position of chief by defeating leading candidate Matisse.
It was the birth of the youngest chief who made the greatest achievement.
That day, Marcelo participated in the roundtable as a chief.
It was the first time I met the Tower Master.
and faced
“Hmm, you’re a sickly-looking little boy who can’t bear the weight of the chief. It’s not too late even now. How about going back to the senior position and taking care of that body first?”
“…!”
For the first time in my life, the ‘wall’ that stood in my way.
The Wall Tower was only harsh on Marcelo.
Even before the theory of magic, the attitude was the same.
“Magic is not something that can be solved with lines of text, kid.”
“Theoretical magic is what makes that possible. Also, please refrain from calling me a kid who is well past the age of majority.”
“is it. All right, Chief Marcelo.”
“….”
Topju held onto Marcelo’s pod every minute.
It’s a shame because everyone in the Mage Tower except for the tower owner knew of Marcelo’s talent. If it wasn’t for that, it would have been blasphemy enough to leave the chief’s seat.
Yugweed swallowed a laugh at that appearance.
“I never thought the tower owner would have such a crooked side.”
including yourself.
All wizards are out of the norm.
As I said, that was the case for Marcelo as well.
To put it simply…
Topju and Marcelo were only twisted towards each other.
“You know? It’s called a pod.”
“That’s rude, little chief.”
“Changing the word order does not change the meaning.”
“Okay, senior kid.”
“…”
No one could have imagined.
Heaven’s Magic Tower.
To think that the tower owner and the chief mage were having such childish conversations on the top floor.
However, the parallel line between the two, who seemed to be terribly incompatible, was suddenly cut off one-sidedly one day.
“…Tower Lord?”
Like a caterpillar curled up in a chrysalis.
Because the tower owner was trapped in the magic sphere.
It was nobody’s fault.
“It’s definitely the traces of the tower lord’s magic.”
It was something the tower owner himself had done.
Marcelo couldn’t understand.
It was unacceptable.
The only wall tower owner who stood in his way.
It was like he couldn’t break down that wall with his own power.
But did I say that time is medicine?
Years passed and Marcelo finally admitted it.
“I was ignorant.”
The fact that the tower owner had accurately recognized the shortcomings of himself and theoretical magic.
Marcelo further developed theoretical magic, recalling the conversation with the tower owner. Waiting for the day to meet the top lord again, the day to prove himself to the top lord…
.
.
.
realize once again
‘Wizards are all screwed out, even if they’re all screwed out!’
Marcelo did not simply respect the tower owner.
To put it simply.
Even if he breaks the pagoda, he has a twisted sensibility that he will break it with his own hands.
If even that could be reduced to one word, it would be ‘love-hate’…!
“I apologize for chasing after you without telling you. kyung.”
No apologies, Marcelo.
As I always say, reinforcements are always the best.
It’s just that there aren’t many reinforcements that can be brought with you in good conscience. Wasn’t it me getting caught up in a terrible difficulty because of the bubbles that got stuck in the middle of the struggle?
‘Actually, I want to give a general dispatch order.’
From the Great Coalition to the Lion Heart Knights.
They want to benefit from a strong support group.
However, even now, with the exception of a few, it would not be possible to face the tower owner safely.
In particular, the player side is annihilated.
‘Of course Jesse is an exception.’
Jesse, who is a disciple of Topju and is favored, is excluded because he is treated like radish kimchi.
Although Marcelo joined them.
You don’t have to worry about Marcelo.
It was the first time I saw it apart from my abilities.
“We will take responsibility for this through the process after returning. But I have reasons to back down. This is the story I just told you.”
Such a motivated Marcelo.
I wonder if you could feel the emotion even through telepathy?
I nodded.
“I understand, Marcelo.”
More than joining Marcelo.
This is no longer just a class for Jessie.
Of course I, who will learn the magic of the Archmage over my shoulder.
Even Marcelo, who wants to prove his growth to the tower owner.
It’s a battlefield where each person’s story is intertwined.
“Jesse Heinness Apprentice Wizard.”
“yes! I’m listening, Chief Marcelo!”
“I will also ask for your understanding.”
“Ah yes! it’s okay! I don’t know what it is!”
I didn’t exactly reveal the identity of the Archmage.
Is that why
Jesse seems to just guess that Marcelo has a connection with the Archmage.
Of course, Marcelo is in the same situation.
‘I haven’t noticed yet that the tower owner is unconscious.’
…Did you know that the tower master was a great wizard in the first place? Judging from the fact that the identities of the great wizards of the previous generation before the Tower Master were not widely known, the possibility was low.
Because Jesse was an adventurer, it was an unusual case that he was known as a great wizard.
‘Even if it’s twisted, it’s tightly twisted.’
I sighed once.
‘It’s just that I’m the only one with a heavy heart.’
The saying that not knowing is medicine can’t be more touching…!
“Wow, this was all hallucination magic!”
Jessie really only knows that it’s a class.
“It’s been a long time since we met again, but you don’t even have an answer.”
Marcelo is talking to the tower’s shell.
Knowing all the tangled affairs.
It’s just that I’m in a very serious situation.
But I couldn’t complain.
Apart from the pride of Grandfel.
Because it wasn’t even given a chance to do that in the first place.
[The tower owner’s body appears.]
“!”
emergence message.
What I meant was simple.
So far, it’s just a preview.
The landscape created by hallucination magic began to slowly disappear.
Converted to pure magic.
In that state, it immediately caught fire.
Marcelo gnashed his teeth.
“You really don’t have a grasp of the situation, you.”
The founder of theoretical magic.
It was Marcelo who established all mainstream magic as a theory.
Of course, the magic compatibility of eating and being eaten.
It means that it penetrates more accurately than anyone else.
Marcelo immediately deployed a barrier of water.
“Water in fire…!”
Jesse said so.
It’s not that simple magic.
Considering the effort that went into the interference process.
It was as if the three higher level magics were manifested at the same time.
Chijijijik—!
Still, it was disappointing.
The fact that water has an advantage over fire is also a story when the level is right. A cataclysm that swallows everything evaporates even water.
“Chit.”
For those words to come out of Marcelo’s mouth.
It’s really not a common sight.
Anyway, you can’t just watch with your arms crossed forever.
I’ve come to realize this for sure.
The fact that the tower owner’s body was obviously running out of control.
“You’ve gone too far.”
It must be the gap that comes from the separated consciousness and body.
‘Because I can’t even imagine the interference process.’
Even the top lord couldn’t fully express it.
Regardless of what consciousness left arrangements.
That the body just runs amok.
So from now on, it can no longer be called a class.
The words I would spit were decided.
“As the chief, this is a class I cannot approve of.”
…I tried to keep my mouth shut.
Even Marcelo’s magic, which puts sangseong first, was overwhelmed. Even with the [Blessing of the First World Tree], magic alone might not be able to defeat it.
The other side has a circle just like me.
In the end, I have no choice but to go with sincerity from the beginning.
I immediately prepared for the bizarre manifestation.
As expected, the most efficient would be reverse magic.
However, if attribute magic is reversed, it will only return to pure magic.
‘The tower owner will interfere with that magic again.’
Even if he is the tower owner, his magical power is not infinite.
If this amount of mana was consumed, it would surely put a strain on the body.
Fire magic for hallucinations?
It was one of the magics that competed for the highest level in terms of mana consumption.
‘Do you think you’ll do a good job?’
To defeat the Archmage, you must be meticulous. It’s safe to say that my magic regeneration while [Blessing of the First World Tree] is active is at its maximum. It means to put the superiority of horsepower first.
however.
“…!”
“…uh?”
Marcelo and Jesse hesitated.
It was because an abnormality was detected in the body of the pagoda owner, who did not even feel any emotional change or consciousness. A drop of blood flowed from the corner of the pagoda’s mouth.
Did you know that you experienced it?
Jesse looked at me and said.
“That must be magical exhaustion…?”
From Meteor Strike to hallucinations to flame magic.
If it is expressed continuously.
If you think your body will be fine, you have no conscience.
At this point, I will make a bold declaration.
Top lord’s plan.
I guess it seems to have failed miserably.
“I can’t understand.”
A twisted longing.
But Marcelo obviously respected the owner of the tower.
Because Topju was the only one who saw through his own shortcomings.
“For what reason…?”
Marcelo’s pupils shook.
I thought that I could finally be recognized by such a tower owner.
The top lord would no longer be the top lord he knew.
I opened my mouth.
“Jesse Heinness.”
“Yes, I am listening!”
“I have to tell you the sad news.”
“…Ah, I was going to tell you even if I don’t!”
No voice comes from the conical hat.
Jesse has spoken.
I could intuit.
Something is happening inside the cone hat.
But it’s okay.
The class, which only hurts everyone, ends here.
I spoke.
“Your class will end here.”
“yes! I will accept it!”
“But stay focused until the end.”
“…yes?”
“I, the head of the class, will be responsible for finishing this class.”
Meteor Strike.
hallucination magic.
And even the current fire magic.
I realized it while watching the highest level of magic manifested by the tower owner.
Like I said with my own mouth.
Dare to look down on ‘the realm of the transcendent.’
He said that he seemed to have reached the height of ‘eccentricity’.
That is to say.
“There was nothing to be learned from your apparitions.”
“…”
“Didn’t I tell you that everything has changed.”
It’s like this kind of fire magic.
The strangeness of the reversed phase of freezing.
It means that it can be offset with [『Absolute Zero』].
Damn it!
wink.
The area cooled to the point where breath was pouring out.
I said while looking at the tower owner.
“I will start my class from this hour.”
“I will not be taking questions during class.”
“Because the one who answers is not me, but you, the tower owner.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
In that sense, be prepared, tower lord.
I was the one who wet the Mage Tower with tears just by prior verification.
My first class like that will never go smoothly!
.
.
.
A swirling vortex of magical power.
Elder Yugweed arrived late.
And all twenty senior wizards witnessed it.
“Really, this chief of staff…!!”
