Ces Point of View.
Haa, haa I give up, its my loss T-there really is always soone better Youre still young. Youre going to keep on growing. Oi!
The girl in front of is gasping for her breath. She exchanged blows with until she was on the brink of running out of magic power, so of course she would.
Go ahead. Nn, thank you.
I got rid of the wall dividing the combat area quite a while ago. I only set it up so that the two exams dont interrupt each other, so it was to be removed when either of them finished their exam. The other exam finished early on, and it seems like Urania was in the middle of Tiens orientation.
Fuu Sorry about that, Urania. We already have a break room rented out, so would you mind waiting there with her? Nn, understood. And Lily, take a good rest too. Got i~t.
Shes probably feeling sluggish from the magic power exhaustion. She languidly waved to in reply while having her other arm over Uranias shoulders. Its reminding of how I was when I was her age and made feel a bit of nostalgia.
Theyre gone now, Mr. Ces Ahh, sorry about that, Tien.
After saying so, I let out a deep breath.
Haaaaaaaaa Who the heck is she?1 Who knows? I dont know myself. Motsis guild master only said that shes a promising sorceress. Well, hes not wrong.
The guild masters evaluation of her is definitely not wrong. How many years has it been since the last ti I almost ran out of magic power? Since she has quite a lot of magic power and is skilled at controlling it, I was forced to focus a lot on maintaining the Magic Shell. Its frankly been so long since I got this exhausted.
So, how did yours go? If I had to say, unexpected. At any rate, her movents were quick. And surprisingly heavy. I never thought I that Id receive a strike that heavy from soone as small as her.2
As he said so, Tien showed a wound on his arm. Despite his skin being much tougher than any regular armor, there was a large laceration on his arm. Really, who couldve imagined that girl to make a wound this deep.
Thats amazing. I agree, highly outstanding. I never imagined that a {diseased} beastkin would have that much control over the use of Wind and Weight.
I see, I was wondering how she outputs enough power to cut through Tiens skin, but thats how it is. She increased her speed with Wind and made either her body or weapon heavy with Weight. Just with a simple increase in speed and weight, the force behind her attacks increase. Naturally, the recoil would harm her own body if she doesnt have skillful control, but considering how she didnt show any signs of that earlier, she likely has superb control.3
What about on your side? I never could have expected you to have a three-hour-long magic battle. Three hours!? We spent that much ti fighting? Yes. Putting your case aside, Im surprised that Lily lasted that long with you.
I noticed that the battle went on pretty long, but I only thought it lasted about an hour and a half at most. Three hours, then its no surprise that I got exhausted.
It seed like you fairly enjoyed yourself. Its been a while since I saw you having fun when using magic. I see. Did I seem that elated? Then Im sure that its because she was just pure with her use of magic.
Its a feeling Ive forgotten long ago. From the ti I succeeded the title of the Sage of Leo, the power passed down for generations, and my ancestors loyalty towards the crown4, I could no longer wield magic for my own sake, but only for the king and the kingdom. When I instructed the anarchic5 court magicians or the academy laden with factional strife, I learned that magic had beco a tool for authorities without regard to personal will.
Since when did this country start using magic as a tool for politics? It felt that way ever since I was a child and back in those tis, I also feel that there were still more pure sorcerers then than there are now. Furthermore, the current king has just been crowned and doesnt have the leeway to see whats happening all around yet.
That might be the exact reason there are more conflicts between sorcerers and rampant illegal magic experintations lately. Everyones desperate to get a bigger slice of the pie. Recently in particular, the nobles from impoverished dominions and nobles that failed their businesses are eyeing for a quick turnaround.
Im honestly thankful that Lily ca to us. The academy is a miniature congress, a microcosm of this kingdom, but the inner affairs are hidden by a veil of mystery and cant be observed from the outside world. As the administrator of the kingdoms magic, Ive wanted to check on the academys internal state of affairs, but unfortunately, there arent any children among my relatives that are near the age of enrollnt.
Ive also been invited as a lecturer, but Im too busy with my work and am practically there only once a month. Definitely not enough ti to examine the academys current affairs. Ive considered sending Adan to the elentary departnt, but Im personally sowhat uneasy about sending my daughter to that place. Most of all, I dont want to risk Adan getting into trouble and being taken advantage of.
During this ti, Lily made her offer. If this isnt a godsend, then I dont know what else to call it. Ive considered the possibility that this could be a trap, but if a child so pure in her use of magic is actually a spy from sowhere else, then I can only praise her acting.
So what should we do about it? About what? Her rank.
Tien is asking an obvious question, isnt he? No, in this case, I suppose its on purpose?
Its already obvious, isnt it? I thought we were on the sa wavelength? Understood. Then, Ill make the preparations. Im counting on you. Ill go after resting for a bit more.
This lethargy should wear off after about ten more minutes. I wonder how theyll react as we give them that guild card? Sohow it feels like Ive suddenly gotten two more daughters.6
Lyly: Lol, he was trying to stay cool until they leftLyly: Proof that Urania is a ninja, exhibit XXLyly: Honestly, we need more making use of regular magic to enhance physical capabilities. Seems to be the best option for adventurers, since most would have not much magic power because of their origins, making flashy magic frankly impracticalSilva: Wao, you can inherit your ancestors loyalty? This is the one mont Ill say loyalty is earned, not given.Lyly: I dont know how to describe it better, but the term used here is, which refers to evil spirits in so legend, which implies that its in political chaos, having politics rule over everything, with intense faction in-fighting (really throws shade on the politics, lol. Comparing politics to a mountain full of ghouls and evil spirits, kek)Lyly: Thats just cute
