EP.14 Unexpected meeting (3)
A wizard belonging to the Knights Templar.
Libert, the former lord of the Red Magic Tower, sighs.
The hopeless war situation is a reason for sighing.
Ancient Lich Skevall.
The damage caused by the abominable undead is increasing day by day. Until just a month ago, Libert didn’t think the skull would be a problem.
‘It was all thanks to Raniel.’
When the gray wizard appeared on the battlefield, Skebal ran away. Because in front of Raniel, Skebal’s barrier was torn apart like a piece of paper.
Such a superhuman being causes those standing on the same battlefield to lose their tension. That complacency also came to Libert without exception.
‘I leaned on him too much.’
A wizard who has always been at the forefront.
The results of relying on that one superman were disastrous.
As the gray wizard, who was thought to be there forever, retired, the knights lost a way to break through Skebal’s barrier.
‘It’s embarrassing…’
Libert feels ashamed of that fact.
Even though I was in a position to find the answer more than anyone else, I couldn’t find the answer, so I left everything to him.
Of course, it’s not that he didn’t seek guidance from the gray wizard.
I sought instruction, but I did not understand.
Because it was a very difficult story for him.
It was just a way to use mana that was only possible because he was a ‘grey wizard’, and his past self had declared that and given up.
‘Why didn’t I ask more at that time?’
I should have sought guidance until I could understand.
I feel sorry for my past self who gave up so easily.
“Whoa…”
It would be too late to regret it now.
Only Knight Commander Heinkel has a communication network that can connect with the Gray Wizard, but even that is one-way.
Although you can reply to the letter you sent.
It is not possible to send a letter directly from the Knights Templar.
Around the time when Libert was sighing.
Someone’s voice was heard from outside the tent.
“Libert, are you inside?”
“Chief Engineer Heinkel? what brings you here···.”
“I’m going in.”
Heinkel, who came to the barracks, immediately presented a letter to Libert.
“Would you please take a look at this letter?”
Libert accepted the letter handed to him by Heinkel. It was a letter with the seal of the royal family.
“This···.”
“It’s a letter from the 4th princess.”
“What happened to the princess…?”
“Let me open it first.”
Libert nodded and opened the letter. There was a piece of paper inside it.
“This···. “Isn’t it academic?”
“The princess sent a letter saying that there is a person who has come up with an answer to problem number 1. “That is the answer.”
If it was Academic’s No. 1 problem, it was one that Liebert was well aware of. Problem with Skebal’s circuit. This was a question Liebert had raised in his mind just in case.
“… “Are you saying that someone who solved it came out?”
“According to the princess, that’s true. However, he asked me to look at it calmly. “It seems like the princess isn’t sure either.”
“Hmm…”
Libert had a shocked expression on his face.
We all know that the 4th princess Ayla, a child loved by the stars, is gifted with magic.
However, circuit analysis is a different field from talent.
Unless you ‘learn’ through memorization of numerous theories and numerous practical experiences, your ability to interpret circuits will not improve.
‘He probably never learned circuitry.’
But what did I believe in sending this letter?
Since the ancient lich Skebal appeared on the battlefield, there is no way that a difficult problem that no one except one person has been able to solve can be solved so easily.
“I understand you don’t believe it. “Still, please check.”
“···All right.”
Libert reluctantly checked the letter.
The letter did not even include the name of the person who solved the problem. The handwriting is also not neat. Rather, it was a messy handwriting that seemed a bit twisted.
-Skebal’s circuit is a type in which the circuit that is the center of the spell is engraved among hundreds of false circuits.
Who doesn’t know that?
Skebal’s circuit is difficult because hundreds of circuits must be removed one by one to reach the center.
-This is why the wizards on the front line are struggling. Hundreds of circuits are organically interconnected with each other. It would be twice as difficult to disassemble a circuit that is interlocked like cogs.
Libert, who did not feel much interest and continued reading the solution, frowned at the following sentence.
-This is a pool based on that point.
-There is no need to dismantle hundreds of circuits one by one.
·····There is no need to dismantle the circuit?
-Circuit to circuit is connected. interlock like cogs. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
-Cracks that occur in one circuit spread to hundreds of interconnected circuits. There is no need to dismantle hundreds of circuits one by one.

-Instead of dismantling, destroy the circuit.
Libert narrowed his eyes.
-Process mana.
– Sharply process mana to have properties similar to the poison of the ‘Mana Eater’, which spreads through the blood and throughout the body.
-Send that mana to the circuit.
-As if spreading poison.
His eyes are shaking.
-Think of Skebal’s barrier as a pond.
-In this case, the circuit at the center of the barrier will be a fish living deep in the pond.
-The act of dismantling the circuit, which most wizards do, is to scoop out all the water from the pond, expose the bottom, and hunt fish.
-There is nothing that is that inefficient. It is also natural that it takes a long time.
“·····.”
-Why do we have to pump out all the water from the pond? There is no reason to do that.
-Poison the pond.
-The story is that all you have to do is remove the poison so that the fish can emerge from the water on its own.
Libert had forgotten to hold his breath and was immersed in the solution. The letters flicker before his eyes as if they are alive and breathing.
‘What is this…’
This is a method I’ve never thought of.
There was a method that I had never thought of.
-The following is how to use mana.
Below that, it was recorded in detail, including ‘how’ mana was transformed and how the transformed mana was handled.
“·····.”
Libert closed the letter without saying a word.
Then he raised his head and looked at Heinkel.
“Heinkel.”
“Why, Libert?”
“Who will solve this problem?”
“The princess answered that it was an unidentified entity. “Why is that, is there any problem?”
There wasn’t a problem, there was only a problem.
“This is… strange.”
“Do you think it’s strange?”
“How should I explain this…”
The history of magic is long.
The most developed thing in that long history was order circuits and circuit analysis.
Laws built up over thousands of years.
A systematic formula to solve the law.
Therefore, for today’s wizards, circuit interpretation is nothing more than utilizing the knowledge accumulated by our ancestors according to the situation.
However, what about the wizard who wrote this solution?
‘I wasn’t bound by the formula.’
This wizard saw what others, caught up in formulas, had missed.
‘As you can see, a new method was presented.’
A completely new solution.
‘Imitation, not utilization, but creation.’
Those who do not walk the already established path of magic, but pioneer the path themselves. Libert knew how to call such people.
‘genius.’
A wizard who will lead this era.
Suddenly, the image of a wizard appeared in Libert’s mind.
“Isn’t the person who wrote this solution, Raniel?”
“That didn’t seem to be the case. “The princess doesn’t lie about things like this.”
“Then I at least disguised myself so the princess wouldn’t recognize me…”
Without speaking, Libert kept his mouth shut.
Because I realized that I was saying nonsense. Is it absurd for her to hide her identity in front of the 4th princess?
‘He was able to see through at a glance even the polymorph of the ancient dragon wizard who secretly visited the royal capital.’
There was no way that ‘disguise’ would work in front of such a princess.
In the end, it means that there is another wizard with talent comparable to that gray wizard.
At that fact, Libert laughed bitterly.
“···The world is so big.”
“What happened suddenly?”
“no. “I would like to tell the princess that she must find the wizard who wrote this explanation and place him in an important position.”
Libert put the letter down on the table.
Then he took a deep breath and opened his mouth as a member of the ‘Knight Order’ rather than as a wizard.
“This is completely new to me. “It is possible in theory, but I cannot guarantee how it will be applied in practice.”
“·····.”
“But, I dare say.”
Libert speaks with a firm voice.
“I think it’s worth a try.”
“·····.”
Instead of answering, Heinkel narrowed his eyes.
That gaze contains more than words.
Liebert, who had assisted Heinkel for a long time, understood what Heinkel was trying to say.
Libert nods.
“I will summon the knights’ wizards.”
2.
“Master.”
“Why are you doing this, Raniel?”
“Am I not good at explaining things?”
What does that mean?
Roselle tilted her head and looked at Raniel.
“What did you mean? “I can’t believe you’re not good at explaining things.”
“No, now that I think about it, of all the people who came to me to learn something, I didn’t find anyone who really understood it.”
Raniel muttered, resting his chin.
“In the old days, wizards asked a lot about Skebal’s circuit, right? “I think I explained it clearly at the time, but you didn’t understand.”
“How on earth did you explain it?”
“Uh, so…”
Roselle listened to Raniel’s explanation for a while.
After about thirty minutes had passed, Rossell touched his temple.
“···Raniel.”
“yes?”
“Teaching something to someone starts with understanding the other person’s level.”
“uh···.”
“Like you, ‘I can do it?’, ‘Why can’t I do it?’, ‘No, if it doesn’t work, I just keep doing it until I can.’ The same thing is not called teaching.”
That’s an old guy’s thing to do.
“oh···.”
Roselle let out a deep sigh as he looked at his student admiring him, as if he had just realized something new.
‘Wasn’t it a very wrong choice to entrust this child to be a professor?’
Suddenly such a thought passes through Rosell’s mind.
“Ah, but I’m good at explaining things in writing.”
“That doesn’t seem very likely.”
“No, it’s real? “I think I understand this time…”
“It is done. Come to my room a little later. “I think we need to teach from the beginning what teaching is…”
“It’s true…”
A word from the author (author review)
It’s gotten too long as I’ve been writing it, so I’ll just cut it off.
It seems like the episode has become too explanation-oriented…
Well, I thought I should write it all down before the academy entrance ceremony, so I wrote it like this.
