Episode 5
“What do you an?”
Count Millennium narrowed his eyes and asked back.
Ellis, who had been bowing her head in front of him, opened her mouth again with an expression on her face that showed no change in emotion.
“You have defeated the family’s apprentice wizards, Daniel and Richard Paul.”
After hearing those words, Count Millennium exhaled and raised his hand to his forehead.
“I’m going crazy.”
He closed his eyes for a mont and muttered softly.
Ellis listened and continued to explain.
“Daniel and Richard Paul first tried to ignore you and use magic.”
“Why did I ignore you?”
“…I asked if you wanted to go to class again.”
Ellis, who was with him at the ti, could clearly see that their words were dismissive of Raymond.
Count Millennium is also sowhat aware of their actions.
“so? “What did Raymond say that made them want to use magic?”
“Where does the family dog bark at its owner?”
“her.”
Count Millennium made a noise as if it were absurd to hear Ellis’ words.
Nothing like this has ever happened before.
Even when he has no talent for magic and his biological mother died many years ago.
This is the first ti sothing like this has happened.
‘It beca crooked from then on… but the anger was always directed at the servants and never towards the family wizards.’
As Count Millennium, it was confusing.
He couldn’t understand why Raymond had suddenly changed.
He frowned, then the defendant looked at Ellis.
“By the way, how did Raymond beat those two up? “They must have mastered at least one or two attack spells.”
“…I literally hit him with his fist.”
“With your fist?”
“yes. “After dodging all the magic arrows and moving his fists and feet a few tis, Daniel and Richard Paul fell to the ground.”
Ellis said politely.
After hearing those words, Count Millennium looked serious.
“What the hell is going on…”
Sothing was happening that he couldn’t understand.
***
The situation was quickly resolved.
The apprentice wizard who hit left under Beatrice’s instructions and with the support of the female apprentice wizard who was with him, and the class began imdiately.
“That’s why you shouldn’t try to easily accept mana into your body. Mana and the wizard can never be one…”
I looked at Beatrice, who was giving a class at the podium with a complex magic prir spread out in front of her.
She was very attractive.
It wasn’t just her appearance that made her stand out, but her magical knowledge made her stand out even more.
Additionally, the explanation was clear, so I was able to gain a basic understanding of magic.
Basic information about the history of magic and how magic is activated.
I learned knowledge that could not be obtained by reading the novel ‘Master of Talent’.
I ca just to get to know Beatrice and talk to her, but the class content was quite interesting so I wasn’t bored.
“excuse .”
Soone sitting in the back raised their hand.
Beatrice looked at the apprentice wizard who looked a little immature.
“Say yes.”
“You just said that mana makes up the whole world.”
“I did.”
“Then, if you think about it, we are also made of mana, so why do you say that mana and wizards can never beco one?”
Beatrice frowned at that question.
It looks like he doesn’t really like the question.
“Who are you and where are you from?”
“This is Nirion from the Plain Magic Tower.”
“great. Mr. Nirion of the Plain Magic Tower. A long ti ago, we at Magic Tower conducted a lot of research. “I also studied the relationship between water and people.”
Beatrice continued speaking without hesitation.
I was amazed by her sharp appearance.
“Has any of you read Howard Loyne’s ‘Water and People’?”
At her words, nearly half of the apprentice wizards raised their hands.
Of course, I didn’t know what the book Water and People was, so I just watched in silence.
Above all, it is difficult to know what they are talking about.
“Howard Royne’s ‘Water and Man’ explains the elents that make up the human body and states that 70 percent of our body is water. Is that correct?”
“you’re right.”
“Other scholars also 65 percent and 68 percent. Although the sa figures are presented, it is an undeniable fact that water is a large amount of the substances that make up our bodies. Is that correct?”
Everyone nodded at Beatrice’s words.
I nodded at the words that seed like common sense.
The fact that 70% of the human body is water is sothing I have learned since childhood.
“Now then, Mr. Nirion of the Plain Magic Tower.”
“yes.”
“Can you beco one with the water?”
“…?”
“About 70 percent of your body is made up of water, so I guess about 70 percent could be water itself.”
The apprentice wizard could not say anything, as if his mouth was coated with honey.
Beatrice looked at him for a mont and then opened her mouth.
“If you beco one with water, you die. The sa goes for mana. If you try to beco one with mana, you die. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Then is it okay for to teach the class again?”
“…please.”
Since then, no questions have been asked.
Beatrice continued the class without wavering, and everyone listened carefully to what she had to say.
Only after the class was over did questions co pouring in.
The question that stimulated my curiosity the most was:
“Beatrice! I am curious as to how you are approaching the 4th circle even though you are only 17 years old. “Is there a special way?”
“The person who just asked that question. “Where are you from?”
“This is Germán from the Tower of Pergio.”
“Are you still in Circle 1?”
“yes.”
“How did you beco a Circle 1 wizard?”
“So… by studying and training hard…?”
“I did that too.”
After giving a brief answer, Beatrice closed the book she was holding and opened her mouth.
“Then let’s end class.”
That was the end.
While attending her class, I was able to learn one thing about her.
‘It’s a little hard.’
That her personality is hard.
I quickly got up from my seat and followed Beatrice.
“Beatrice.”
I called her na as she walked slowly.
Unlike the other people who treated Beatrice with respect, they did not use the title ‘nim’.
First of all, she and Raymond are on equal footing.
Beatrice, who was walking, glanced at and imdiately turned her head.
what? I think he saw , but he’s ignoring .
Her gait beca slightly faster.
Feeling embarrassed, I called her again.
“Beatrice Skylar.”
I called her na again.
“Barrier.”
As I tried to follow, a barrier, a defensive magic one level higher than the shield, was created in front of , blocking my path.
chin.
I was a bit surprised to see it blocked by the barrier.
Aside from being ridiculous, I don’t understand why she’s doing this to .
Was what I was talking about sothing you wanted to prevent by casting a barrier?
I wondered if there was so other story that I didn’t know about.
“What the hell…”
In the end, I couldn’t catch her again and headed ho.
***
“Have you been there? young master.”
“huh.”
As soon as I arrived, Ellis was waiting.
She greeted him calmly, probably because she knew I would co at this ti.
“Have you been here all day?”
“No, I just ca. “I think it’s over by now.”
Hearing her words, I scratched my cheek and walked away.
“Let’s go to the room.”
“Yes, master. “I have prepared so bath water for you.”
“bath?”
“Since you were moving so vigorously earlier, I thought you might not want to wash your body, so I prepared it… but will you get bitten again?”
“no. “Why don’t you wash it?”
I said I had prepared it, so there was no need to decline.
After returning to the room, I imdiately took off my clothes with Ellis’ help and entered the bath.
My muscles tightened just because I moved for a mont. I didn’t forget to gently move my body to release it.
“You have very minimal muscles in your body.”
When I looked down at my body, I could only sigh.
Perhaps thanks to his talent for swordsmanship, his body moved almost on its own… but his muscles were screaming.
Since I only had very minimal muscles, it was natural that moving my body as vigorously as I did today would be a strain.
I think I’ll be in quite a bit of trouble when I wake up tomorrow morning.
I can’t wake up due to muscle pain.
“Hmm… I guess I need to train my body first.”
I knew full well that Raymond had no talent for magic anyway, so it was better for him to use the ti he spent on magic training to train his body.
smart.
A knock on the door echoed inside the large bathroom.
“This is Master Ellis. “Can I co in?”
“no. “I’ll wash up alone and leave.”
I wasn’t used to having her wash my body yet.
It was more of a burden and it felt strange, so I feel more at ease just being alone.
‘It’s clear that Beatrice doesn’t like talking to … Does she just hate talentless guys, or is there so other special reason?’
My head was spinning.
Because I never imagined that I would be rejected so firmly.
I thought about it for a while, but couldn’t co to a conclusion. After washing my body and briefly wrapping myself in a cloth, I went outside.
Ellis, who was cleaning up the room, ca over and handed so clothes.
Although I have no mory of Beatrice, Ellis has been with for a long ti.
I wonder if I know why Beatrice is avoiding .
“Ellis.”
“Yes, master.”
“You know Beatrice, right?”
“Are you sure you are referring to Lady Beatrice of the Skylar family?”
Ellis looks at and asks.
My face was reflected in her clear eyes.
“Oh Beatrice Skylar.”
“Of course I know.”
“Did sothing happen with ? “Looking at you today, it doesn’t seem like Beatrice likes .”
Ellis tilted her head as if the question was strange.
But she soon opened her mouth with a worried look on her face.
“Master, are you feeling unwell or sothing…”
“I’m fine. “Sotis my mories just flicker.”
The only information I had about Raymond was from novels and what I had picked up over the past few days.
Of course, I had no choice but to not know the details.
Ellis lowered her hands to my waist and fastened the belt and opened her mouth.
“There was an accident four years ago.”
“accident?”
“A group of orcs suddenly appeared in a hunting ground where wild pigs were likely to appear, and you were in danger… At that ti, Jerrion saved you.”
Jerion? Even when I thought about the contents of the novel, there was no na like that.
So that ans he’s a character who doesn’t appear in the novel.
I have no idea who Jerion is.
“You saved ?”
“Yes, and due to mana depletion and trauma from dealing with the orcs at the ti, he is still unconscious four years later.”
“I beca a vegetable? So who is Xerion?”
At that question, Ellis gives another worried look.
I waved my hand and urged her to answer, and she looked at intently and said,
“Jerion Skylar. He is the older brother of Lady Beatrice.”
ah. Fuck.
My head turned white at her words.
I guess I’m screwed.
