At the end of spring, Kunon celebrated his tenth birthday.
My days beca so busy that my family celebrated it and reminded that it was my birthday for the first ti.
It had been about three months since he beca Zeonlys apprentice.
The days lted away as quickly as sugar dropped in a cup of tea.
Im not so much an apprentice anymore, but more like an assistant.
Yeah, thats right. I didnt think youd get this far.
Or soone who works as a copyist.
Yeah, I guess so. Maybe hell charge you for your part-ti job next ti.
After taking a break, Kunon drank a cup of tea made by the maid.
I woke up in the morning and did paperwork all day.
I did so until the evening, and from evening to night, I exercised and practiced magic.
Then I went to bed as if I had collapsed.
Thats how Ive been living these days.
Zeonly is really rough with people, and docunts are delivered to him every few days.
Because of this, Kunon, who still lives away from ho, is now unable to return to the main building for different reasons.
Zeonly is sending him more and more notes and thoughts about magic reports, telling him to clean it up and put it together.
Thats the reason why Kunons room is full of such docunts.
To the casual observer, many of the docunts are leather bags filled with gold coins.
In fact, to be honest, the things left behind by the royal court magicians, even mos, should be kept out of the public eye.
In other words, they are confidential docunts.
As long as the room is full of such things, they should be kept out of sight as much as possible.
Thats why Kunon couldnt move away from the room anymore.
Basically, the only one who cos and goes here is the personal maid. Im going to see my family when they call.
But still, there are a lot of graphics, arent there?
I can read simple characters, but I cant understand docunts with a lot of technical terms.
However, the docunts sent by Zeonly contain many pictures.
So of the pictures made sense, while others made no sense at all.
In addition, many of the letters look as if they have been scrawled, and it is not uncommon for them to be so broken that they cannot be understood.
To be honest, Kunon sotis has a harder ti understanding overly broken and illegible letters than writing clear morized letters.
Its funny, isnt it, a magician engineer?
A magician engineer.
This is the role that Zeonly plays as a royal court magician.
He also does the usual earthen magic work, such as making molds and repairing buildings, but his main activity is to make magic tools for the magician.
A magic tool is a tool that can be moved by the flow of magic power.
Its not sothing that can be seen very often, and its not widespread because it can only be used by sorcerers. Its only famous by na.
Zeonlys goal is to create a magic tool that can be used by ordinary people.
In other words, he mainly uses earth magic to create forms.
And its sowhat similar to what Kunon does with his water ball a ori.
Zeonly said, Thats probably why Rondimond brought you and together.
Kunon thinks so too.
The more he learned about the role of the magician and the more he looked at Zeonlys notes, the more he agreed with him.
I dont know whats going on, but if Master Kunon is satisfied, then I am satisfied too.
Really? Will you support ?
Yes! Ill support you in your life, so you can work hard and achieve your dreams! I know your talent better than anyone!
Youre like a lover supporting an unsuccessful theater actor.
Will you dump if I do?"
Of course not! Im devoted to Iko. Lets get married in the future.
Wow, thats a mouthful. Youre lying.
They laughed together.
Then they went back to work.
Milicas visits, which used to be once every two weeks, are now once a week.
She visits once a week now, bringing Zeonly, who ostensibly accompanies her as an escort.
She does her best not to let anyone know that Zeonly has taken Kunon as his apprentice.
Kunon doesnt know much about it, but there is so sort of problem with the succession of the throne.
Hello, my little apprentice. Have you finished your paperwork?
Zeonly, who had been in a good mood for the past three months, ca in.
Im about halfway there.
What? Oh, co on, get a grip.
Im not sure if Ill be able to finish the additional paperwork thats coming in later.
The words were quite unreasonable, but I was used to such unreasonableness by now.
Did you see my ssage?
you should stop writing things like I love you, master or I respect you on the edge of your paperwork. Im so embarrassed when I show it to Rondimond and the other magicians.
Getting along with your apprentice? Thats nice. Lets show them.
So people are harassing . They wanted to make you their apprentice.
Milica, Her Highness. Co in.
Hello, Mr. Kunon.
Hey. youve got so nerve ignoring your ntor.
The usual three people have been coming.
Milica, Zeonly, and the knight Dario, who is both a guard and a watcher.
For the past three months, these three people have been coming to .
And Im sure these three will continue to co once a week in the future.
Without much greeting, Zeonly and Kunon began their experints.
There are so many things they want to try, and this ti, when they can only et once a week, is incredibly precious.
Paperwork is a way of education that is unique to Zeonly.
Make them understand and chew on the aning and intent, and write it down.
This will help them rember well.
Since we only et once a week, we cant take ti for classroom learning.
Thats why I give Kunon the knowledge in this way.
Well, I guess its also a hassle to write it out.
What do you think of this?
I think theres too much pressure. I think we need to strengthen the container or reduce the amount of magic we put into it to make it work.
But it wont work properly without this much magical pressure.
As proof of this, I can properly follow Zeonlys story without saying much.
Three months ago, an amateur who didnt even know what a magician was, was able to talk to an expert now.
This is the result of education.
As for the amount of work, its so unreasonable that I want to be paid part-ti.
Okay, lets give it a try. You take care of the internal chanism.
Yes, sir.
Zeonly uses earth magic to create the mainfra of the container and then uses Kunons water ball a ori to improvise and assemble the internal chanisms.
Zeonly can make the hard parts but not the flexible parts.
That was Kunons role.
Milica faced Dario, away from Kunon and the others who were absorbed in their experints and prototypes without looking aside.
Im looking forward to working with you!
Yes, its my pleasure.
They both took their wooden swords and held them up.
Three months ago, Milica started to do the best she could.
Her goal was to graduate at the top of her class from the high nobility school she had just entered.
In order to achieve this goal, she began to study even harder.
She also began to study martial arts, including swordsmanship.
She wanted to be able to protect Kunon in case of an ergency.
