Episode 133. corrosion
Flash!
Beric, who had fainted, opened his eyes and woke up at once. My last memory is the imperial palace training ground, and Ian. When I came to my senses, I found myself on an unfamiliar bed.
“ah.”
Even if I twisted my body even a little, I felt the pain of my muscles being torn into pieces. What about the skull? J. Rut mainly focused his attacks on her face, so it was enough to open her eyes. Beric gently smoothed his nose.
‘Wow, I’m glad. The nose is properly attached.’
It was when Beric was about to go looking for Ian. A loud voice came through the curtain next to the bed. When I peeked my head through the gap, I realized that the place where I was lying was the infirmary. Several empty white beds, warm sunlight, and the smell of alcohol gave a strange sense of stability.
“Are your wounds okay?”
“It would be right for you to ask the Viscount’s prosecutor about that.”
“Just as it hurts the person who gets hit, the person who hits it also hurts.”
Jayrot was silent, tapping his knee with his bandaged hand. And soon, she pulled out the name of her close friend from memory.
“… Petraeus. I heard it from Barsabe. “You saw the end.”
“It looks like the rumor has already spread among the palace guards. He did his duty, and I just acted according to my position. “I can’t afford to take trivial revenge.”
Rattling.
Ian scolded lightly, holding up his teacup. They looked like a middle-aged man and a boy, and it was clear who was the superior through their words and actions.
“So, how were your skills?”
“You mean the Viscount’s inspection?”
Beric, who was peeking through the curtains, pricked up his ears, hiding his presence. To be honest, he was the best of the many warriors I had seen so far, so I was curious about what his evaluation would be. Beric said with a twinkle in his eye that if he were to be harsh, he would come right back and change his mind.
“Even though the basics were a mess, it was usable. In many ways, I was born with something. “I’m not very good at hiding my presence, though.”
As Jayrot turned his head and muttered, Beric pulled back the curtain. Her face looks perplexed.
Wow!
“No, why are you peeking?”
“This is absurd. “You are the one who stole it.”
“Berrick, I’m glad you came to your senses. If it had been a little later, I would have left it behind. “It’s almost time to enter.”
Ian smiled brightly and clicked his pocket watch. It’s already been three hours since we left the training ground. It’s amazing that I came to my senses so well.
“Who am I leaving behind? How am I supposed to get home?”
“It’s not even a child. I wonder if it won’t come home.”
“And it hasn’t been decided yet! “It was stopped because you cowardly stabbed me in the back, so I guess we’ll have to join again.”
“Berrick. “It means you lost it.”
“It’s not? “You didn’t lose, right?”
Beric insisted, but Ian’s expression was gentle and unwavering. Jayrot could only sigh as he looked at Beric like that. Although it is very unpleasant, isn’t it the guard captain’s job to collect such things and ensure the safety of the imperial family?
“Berrick. As the commander of the imperial guard, I have something to offer you. Join the Imperial Guard and serve His Majesty… … .”
“I will not.”
“… “The meat side dishes are also good.”
“… “But I don’t do it.”
“why?”
He even threw the bait of conversion that he had been hinting at to Ian, but the response was very lukewarm. Beric answered, wiping his face with a wet towel placed on the table.
“What do you learn from a leader who cowardly grinds his head?”
“Such arrogance… … .”
“Early sigh~ If it weren’t for that, I would have won. really.”
Beric stuck out his tongue as if teasing him and opened his eyes. At her childish insult, Jay Rut looks like he saw something he couldn’t see. As sparks flew between the two again, Ian intervened and stopped them.
“Sleep, stop. Beric, think slowly about joining, but I also recommend going to the training center and training. “It’s not easy in Romandro’s mansion.”
Physical training was not easy in the small front yard. Moreover, since there is a pregnant woman in the house, shouldn’t she act too aggressively? Beric seemed to be a little persuaded, scratching his chin and nodding.
“Besides, although it is not as good as Captain Jayrot, there are several talented people, so it will be good for you. “Once I join, I will also have to commute to and from the palace on a regular basis, so we can go back and forth together.”
“okay? Okay then. “I’m very shy.”
When Beric smiled brightly, Jayrot looked at him with a look that said he was blessed. Ian stood up and she nodded to Beric.
“If you do, please behave politely from now on. “Captain Jayrot will help you while you are at the training ground.”
“manners?”
Because the captain saw Beric’s potential, it was something that could be discussed. To guide Beric and make him a talented person for the imperial palace. On the other hand, Beric will be given personal growth, so there is no better deal than this.
“manners. Mmmmm.”
Beric’s eyes narrowed. In fact, I don’t even know if his eyes were open properly, but he glanced at Captain Jay Rut and then bowed his head. It’s clearly a greeting, but there’s no sense of respect whatsoever.
‘It must be a long way to go.’
When the captain touched his forehead, Ian also stood up.
“We’ll share the details later, but that’s enough for today. “Don’t forget what you asked for.”
“All right.”
A mysterious black sword and the existence of Beric, who is too strange to be considered a magic swordsman. Since he is the captain of the imperial palace guard, it will be easy for him to access information. As Ian went out to the infirmary, Beric quickly followed behind him.
“ask? “What request?”
“You don’t have to know. “Is your nose bone okay?”
“Yep. “I have no problem breathing.”
Grumble! widely!
Jayrot stuck out his tongue as he looked at the closed door.
‘It’s just as the Viscount said. ‘It’s questionable to stand up and walk in that state.’
If you were a magic swordsman with a high level of ability, it would be possible to heal your wounds with magical power. However, the thing that even wizards find most difficult is healing ability, so how much can a sword wielder do? Certainly, there is something before the magic swordsman.
‘If left as an enemy, he will become a burden to Bariel one day. It’s clear. So, it would be good for the empire to capture it from the beginning.’
Percussion.
“uh? “Did you go crazy with Viscount Ian?”
“You went? With that body? Are you moving?”
Barsabe entered with the doctor from the storage room inside the infirmary. Jay Rut just shook her head left and right as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.

* * *
At that time, the main conference room of the Ministry of Magic’s main building.
Although it was not used much except for irregular competitions, it was a perfect place to introduce new members and hold an induction ceremony.
“Did you hear that? “I heard that Captain Jay Rut unleashed his magic power at the imperial palace training ground today.”
“what? What happened? “They say a monster has appeared?”
“No, they said something. “They say it happened while sparring with an outside driver, and they said it was really worth seeing.”
“Outsiders? haha. He is now on his way to life. “If you did that much to J-Rot, wouldn’t you be able to join right away?”
“I don’t know if the owner will just sell it. These days, a lot of budget is allocated to the Ministry of Magic, so the guards are always making noises. “I don’t even think about those so-called magic swordsmen.”
“Anyway, I heard you’re joining the ranks of Viscount Ian Hiello today?”
“Time is running out… … .”
Quang!
It was the moment when the wizards gathered together and looked outside. The door burst open and people from the Magic Management Department came in. Including Hale, the leader, the main players are Tommy and Nakina. As they came in, whispering was heard around them again.
“What did Viscount Ian Hielo say when he was assigned?”
“You didn’t say anything? “You know Captain Hale’s personality.”
“You only have skills and don’t know how to become powerful.”
Tommy looked back at them with a frown, but the wizards didn’t stop whispering. Hale calmly puffed on a cigarette and checked his watch.
“Captain Hale. Have you seen the new face?”
“uh. At the New Year’s party. “It was beautiful.”
“Tommy! I thought the youngest would escape, but a nobleman came in. “How can I act like a senior properly?”
“It’s better than what you’re doing.”
Sharp jokes were exchanged between the Magic Support Department and the Magic Operations Department. Other departments just stand back and watch. As time passed, the front door of the conference room opened wide.
Grumble!
“Minister Wesley is coming in.”
Everyone quieted down and looked ahead at the aide’s guidance sound. And a blond-haired green-eyed boy followed behind her. Those who saw it at the New Year’s party were amazed again, while those who saw it for the first time just rolled their eyes and smiled in embarrassment. Why didn’t anyone tell me that I was so handsome?
“Is everyone gathered?”
“That’s right. Minister.”
“As you all heard, a new member arrived at the Ministry of Magic today. Viscount Ian Hiello. It is said that he is the first noble wizard in Bariel history, and it remains to be seen whether he lives up to his reputation.”
The voice was quite irritating considering that it was the first time in several years that a new person was introduced. The wizards laughed openly, but Ian had a calm expression, as if he had been deaf.
“If you have anything to say hello to, just do it.”
At Wesley’s words, Ian took a step forward and looked around. And he easily found Hale, who would become his immediate superior. Ian looked at him and slowly removed his mouth.
“Please do not feel uncomfortable because you are considered a noble, and please provide me with a lot of guidance.”
No matter how many rhetorical words were added, the lack of response would still be the same. Everyone fell silent and looked dumbfounded at the brief greeting. The first to applaud was Nakina.
Clap clap clap.
“You’re welcome.”
It’s a really awkward atmosphere. Wesley also clapped as usual, and soon the other wizards also gave their usual applause. Wesley motioned for Hale to come down from the podium and then instructed Hale.
“From now on, Hale of the Magic Management Department will be in charge of Viscount Ian Halo. Take care of yourself.”
“yes. Minister.”
And as he was about to add something, he just left. Tommy and Nakina came closer and held out their hands.
“nice to meet you. Since I am a gunner, I speak comfortably. “It’s Nakina.”
“Nice to meet you. “I was grateful the other day.”
“I am Tommy. “From now on, ask me anything you don’t know.”
“yes. Of course. Thank you.”
As we were exchanging greetings, wizards from the Magic Support Department approached and looked at Ian. It was clear that they were the ones who had manipulated the magic circle.
“Are we going to see each other often? huh?”
“It looks like he belongs to the Magical Support Department.”
“okay. Should we shake hands?”
A man grinned and stretched out his hand. Ian reflexively tried to hold his hand, but stopped when he felt the magical energy at his fingertips. It was clear that there was a magic circle drawn on the palm of the hand.
“why? no? “Maybe it’s because he’s an aristocrat, but he doesn’t want to even touch lowly people?”
“What, you’ve been temperamental since day one.”
“I don’t know if we can work together like that. “It’s true that the Magic Management Department is already single-minded.”
“Captain. Captain Hale, I will listen.”
“This is what I ask you to listen to. “Why is the newbie like that?”
Isn’t this a very classic and childish trick? However, for the public image, it is correct to shake hands. Instead of fighting back, Ian smiled as he immediately released the magic and reflected it back.
“I hope to go along well.”
But at that moment.
Chi profit.
“Aaaah!”
Hale extinguished the cigarette that was in his mouth by burning it on the back of the wizard’s hand. Contrary to his extreme actions, his facial expression did not show any emotion.
“Your palms are dirty.”
