[ Episode 325. Accompanied by the festival]
“Huh.”
Lucia yawned and walked with her hands full of magic books.
The way he walked around seemed dangerous, but he didn’t care at all.
“Lucia then falls down. At least move the books with magic.”
A wizard passed her by, but Lucia still walked with her eyes closed.
“Ehh, can’t you hear me? hey! Lucia Everlast!”
“Yes?”
After shouting into her ear, Lucia suddenly opened her eyes and looked back.
“ah? Sub-Tap Lord?”
“Ah, you are not the Vice-Top Lord. At least keep your eyes open when walking around.”
“Yes.”
Lucia, who answered lightly, walked precariously again with sleepy eyes.
The deputy chief Christian, who had been watching her, spoke to her again.
“A little while ago, Portrion announced the choice of Nivas. Do you know?”
“yes?”
“This time, Adrias Cromwell is on the list. Judging from the reaction, it seems that he didn’t hear.”
“Yeah?!”
Lucia’s half-open eyes opened at the sudden news. Seeing that look full of surprise, Christian laughed.
“I still can’t believe it. I believed that the record of the youngest Warlock would not be broken after Berial Castro, but…”
As for the youngest, Luna Pendragon also existed, but other wizards did not recognize her as she only inherited the magic of Eve Millennium. .
That’s why the title of youngest Warlock until now belonged to the former head of the Faculty of Magic, Berial Castero.
“Adrias-senpai…Warlock?”
“You too, cheer yourself up.”
Christian, already a Warlock, laughed, tousled Lucia’s hair, and disappeared. Left alone, Lucia muttered with a dazed expression.
“Warlock? original magic? Senior?”
since when
She had a strange competitive spirit from the first time they made potions together. However, he never doubted that he was always superior in terms of talent.
Tadadak!
Lucia ran with her book as if she had fallen asleep.
Then he quickly put the book down in his private lab and came out again.
‘When will he come back?’
I wanted to know.
What kind of magic did you create?
What is Adrias’ original magic?
‘If I want to know that my senior is coming back, I will first go to Adam, my assistant professor of my senior…’
when I came down the mage tower and entered the first floor.
“oh? Lucia. I was just looking for you.”
Adrias was there.
“senior? Why are you here…….”
“I came because I have something to say to you.”
I hated Adrias for answering casually.
In the meantime, what did you do well on the subject of hiding the fact that you made original magic…….
“Nivas’s choice! Really?!”
“Warlock? uh.”
The heat spread more in response to the insignificant response.
However, he noticed Vivian next to him, so he couldn’t bear to shoot him.
“Hey Vivian sister. Did you know, sister?”
“huh?”
“Your senior is a warlock!”
“well.”
Lucia sighed again at Vivian’s ambiguous reaction, crossed her arms and opened her eyes.
“I heard that you both went out for evaluation. When did you come back?”
“I just came.”
“Did you come to see me right away?”
Lucia said, raising a question mark above her head.
“uh. Because of Nivas Festival.”
“Nivas Festival? What does that have to do with coming to see me?”
“If it’s okay with you, I’ll go with you. I came to ask you once.”
“yes?”
Nivas Festival? The Nivas Festival I know?
Lucia briefly thought about the Nivas Festival.
A festival of wizards inviting warlocks from all over the continent. One fact is that only warlocks are eligible to participate.
Of course, Portion itself is a city that any wizard can visit, but only Warlocks can participate in the Nivas Festival held in the depths.
‘Warlock was able to bring an assistant with him.’
Lucia remembered one fact and asked Adrias.
“Are you going to take me as a teaching assistant?”
“uh. I have received help and I thought it would be a good opportunity for you.”
Lucia rather calmed down at Adrias’ proposal. It was obviously a great opportunity for a wizard, but I wondered if I would dare to participate.
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to go with Diene? Diane unnie also helped you a lot, right?”
“Diene has the Mage Tower Lord, so you can participate anytime. I know you have actually been there.”
At that time, Vivian, who was listening to the story, put her hand on Lucia’s shoulder.
“sister?”
“Take care of Adrias.”
“ah!”
Lucia then realized that Vivian couldn’t go with her.
The Nivas Festival allowed teaching assistants to enter, but non-mages were not allowed to enter.
“Then… I got it. let’s go together.”
“okay. I’ll know you’re going.”
Adrias smiled awkwardly, saying that he had just arrived and had a lot of work to do.
“Let’s talk again later. I’m a bit busy right now…”
“Yes.”
“I’ll talk to Adrias Lucia for a bit and then go back.”
Adrias nodded at Vivian’s words.
“yes. I will go to the office when my business is over.”
As Adrias waved away and disappeared, Lucia happily grabbed Vivian’s hand.
“The two of us haven’t had much time to talk in the meantime, sister. Is this the first time since graduation?”
“huh.”
The two soon headed to Lucia’s private laboratory.
The private laboratory in the Mage Tower had not only the purpose of the laboratory, but also a living environment, so the two could sit down and have a conversation.
“I was a little taken aback at first. To say that Adrias-senpai is a Warlock…… Then Adrias-senpai is an Aura Master and even a Warlock?”
“Ugh. Since the superhuman proof has been cancelled, the Auror Master is…”
“Ah! I wanted to hear that story too. The superhuman proof was in the dark, but was it canceled?”
Having heard the truth about her family and the secrets of the imperial palace from Adrias, Vivian only touched her hair with a troubled expression.
“I didn’t even hear that. It must have been delayed due to circumstances in the imperial palace.”
“That’s too bad. It was something that could go down in history.”
Lucia murmured while eating the snack.
In fact, standing at the pinnacle of the two fields of sword and magic could have been a big fuss because it had never happened before or since.
It must have already been a mess outside by now.
Although the proof of being a superhuman has not been announced, it is already accepted as an established fact that he is an Auror Master.
“By the way, you and your senior hang out together every day these days. Any good news?”
“good news?”
Vivian tilted her head.
“What good news?”
“No what. You know that.”
When Lucia smiled bashfully and changed her words, Vivian narrowed her brows with an even more puzzled expression.
“Didn’t you stay by your side because you liked him?”
“huh. that’s right.”
Lucia’s heart tickled at Vivian’s words, which she admitted so plainly.
“So I thought you two were doing well.”
“I am still happy.”
“wow. no sister From my point of view, is it okay for you to be a little more greedy?”
Could that be real love?
Lucia was even in awe of Vivian’s sublime appearance.
“Lucia.”
“yes.”
“I’m rather scared because now is so precious.”
Vivian laughed bitterly.
“For one step, you can destroy all the roads you’ve walked so far.”
“well. I don’t think it’s going to collapse…….”
“And I haven’t told you, but I’ve already confessed.”
“yes?!”
Lucia’s heart fluttered at Vivian’s words.
Vivian smiled again as an uncontrollable pounding pounded her pulse.
“I guess Adrias thinks the same way.”
“What is it?”
“I’m afraid to take one more step.”
said Vivian relievedly.
“There are still too many things to do. If I’m going to stay attached to Adrias like that, I shouldn’t put pressure on him.”
“Ah……”
“And as I said already, I’m satisfied with this. Rather, I am very happy. The very fact that I can exist for that person.”
My fairy…….
Lucia just stared blankly at Vivian, who muttered softly.
**
It happened all of a sudden.
‘The Nivas Festival…’
It was an event worth thinking about if it was normal, but I was worried about it because I had been away from the academy too often lately.
Besides, now that I know that Maxwell has something, the festival itself has become suspicious.
‘I’m not going to throw it out though.’
smart.
“Come on in.”
When I came to the principal’s office, I opened the door and entered at the sound of a voice coming from inside.
“I finished the evaluation and returned.”
“Thank you for your effort. Please sit here.”
Deos had asked from the beginning to come and report the progress as soon as the evaluation was over.
Of course, I was going to talk about it in moderation, but in the middle, Nivas’s choice was blown up, so it became ambiguous.
“How was the evaluation?”
“We defeated the monsters that were threatening the village. It was a great opportunity for students to practice.”
Because he had previously kissed the children through Maximin, he had no hesitation in telling lies. In fact, for an alibi, I received a real mercenary request and even processed it.
“Very good. However, it is a very ordinary evaluation than I thought.”
“Is that so?”
The results may seem ridiculous for something grandiose.
“Then, that’s how you know about the evaluation. More than that, Professor Adrias.”
“yes.”
“I was surprised to hear it too, but the professor’s name was included in Nivas’ selection.”
I nodded meekly.
“I was surprised too.”
“Are you talking about the professor himself?”
“I heard Nivas’s choice was announced during the festival, but it wasn’t.”
“Ah, are you surprised by that? Then there is no disagreement that you are a Warlock, right?”
I don’t know if I didn’t use it. He had already openly used his original magic, so there was no need to hide it.
“yes.”
“haha. That’s amazing. Professor, are you twenty-five this year?”
“That’s right.”
“Sir Berial, the former head of the Faculty of Magic, also became a Warlock at the age of 31. People around me were praising that it was the best record ever, but I never thought I would break it.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
A moment of silence passed.
I was the first to speak while Deos sipping tea was often heard.
“Principal. May I come to the Nivas Festival?”
“Sure! You have become a warlock, but if you miss this event, it will cost your life.”
I assumed you would give permission.
Missing the academy for a few days wasn’t a hindrance, rather, it was an opportunity to brag about.
‘The youngest professor at Rodlen Academy is the youngest Warlock.’
Maybe it will be a great publicity effect.
And Deos, who appointed me as a professor, would also open up his eyes at the same time, so there was no reason to refuse.
“I couldn’t confirm the festival period. When are you leaving?”
“It’s next week. So, this weekend, we will be leaving early.”
“Good. Come and enjoy the festival to the fullest.”
Do you want to enjoy the festival?
To those who don’t know what, it’s called a festival, so it might look like they’re going out to play.
However, the Nivas Festival was just a festival and an academic lecture. A place where Warlocks from all over the world show off their knowledge.
It was a large-scale gathering that even black magicians participated.
“The story seems to have ended here. Please be careful and go there.”
“thank you. Then let’s go in.”
After finishing the conversation smoothly, I came out and immediately felt the energy of the spirit and shook it off with mana.
If you know I do this every time, isn’t it about time I realize I’m noticing?
“You’re going to Portion.”
Portrion, the city of wizards.
I wanted to go someday, but I didn’t know it would be now. While I’m gone, I’ll have to wipe out all the artifacts and magic tools.
‘But…’
Will anything really happen?
I was a little worried about whether the choice to take Lucia was the right one.
‘No.’
Regrets I’ve felt lately.
I tried to grow playables too much like plants in a greenhouse. Thanks to that, I was able to stop their growth.
And above all, Lucia had a magical talent that no one else could follow.
Even more talented than Diene, who was the third playable and showed formidable power in the Tower.
“You have to believe.”
No one in the world knows her talent better than I do. So, even if trials come, she will be able to leap forward using those trials as a stepping stone.
……Because I am by Lucia’s side.
