Episode 38
300 years ago, 4th summer.
Dirbeta Front.
“Your magic is poor.”
At the words of Rin, the archmage of the hero party, the magicians of the Magic Blind Battle Section 1 stood up angrily.
“Of course, I know you are an Aquizard (5-star) wizard, but are you saying we are poor?”
“We are also battle mages recognized as the best in the empire!”
“Please retract that insulting statement.”
However, Lin looked at their faces expressionlessly, shook his head, and turned around.
“It’s okay, don’t follow me. “It just gets in the way.”
As they watched Rin leave, the wizards exchanged looks in bewilderment. That orphan with no roots… … . There were some who harbored such thoughts.
‘Hmph, how good he is… … .’
Yuslin, who had just turned 20 after graduating from
He secretly followed the warrior party using his special skill, ‘Hide Presence’ magic.
“… … This.”
And the reality she witnessed… … It was truly a nightmare.
The forces of the abyss spreading black and filling the horizon, the ‘old things’ that make it impossible to even move the body due to the primal fear engraved in human instinct from time immemorial.
In the face of the large and fearful waves of death, Lin did not back down at all and used magic to endlessly intercept them, steadily reducing the enemy force.
‘How many magic potions are you taking…? … ?’
Magic potions were a means of forcibly recovering magic power, and the burden placed on the magic potion was enormous, so wizards did not take them except in very rare circumstances.
Among magicians, there was even a saying going around, ‘Selling the future to fill the present.’
I already have dozens of such potions… … . My whole body was covered in cold sweat, and I was making that painful expression.
“I guess I’ll eat an average of over 30 in one battle?”
Then I heard a voice answering that question.
She turned around in shock, and saw a beautiful woman wearing a witch’s robe with a dragon embroidered with gold thread on a pure blood background, looking at her with her mouth open.
“P-Friede… … !”
Yuslin immediately got down on one knee and showed respect. Even though their nationalities were different, the status of shamans was far higher.
“Well, I don’t think you came for a bad purpose?”
Then, a girl with light blue hair peeked out from behind Friede’s legs. He had a very wary expression.
Above the girl’s head, Fifi, Friede’s famous sun parrot, tilted its head.
“Bad, bad, bad.”
Yuslin asked cautiously.
“For a bad purpose?”
“A bad purpose is a bad purpose. “If I had come because of that, I would have blown it right away.”
“… … “You care so much about Lin.”
Then Friede smiled and nodded.
“Of course, he’s our youngest. “This girl here is my daughter.”
It was a smile filled with indescribable deep and wide affection. So much so that I was mesmerized for a moment… … . Yuslin came to her senses and said:
“Shouldn’t we stop that? “If you drink potions like that, if you are unlucky enough to run out of magic power, you may never be able to become a wizard!”
“know. Me too, Lindo.”
“But why are you leaving me alone? No, if you were going to push yourself like that, why did you tell us that? “If we help out, it’ll be a little easier, right?!”
Friede blew out a puff of cigarette smoke and looked up at the starry sky with a sad smile.
“There are two reasons why I said that. “First of all, I hope that all the people who came to help me die and you don’t die.”
“… … !”
“And the other reason… … It’s because I don’t have the courage yet. “The courage to be honest with yourself and others.”
Friede looked at Rin’s back as he repeatedly formed a magic square while biting down on the bear’s arm.
It’s okay though.
Lin, you are still young.
All you have to do is grow forward. There is no need to forcefully change that state. Because your life starts now.
“Sabu is not without courage!”
At that time, Tureina, a girl with light blue hair, shouted loudly, and the parrot shook its head as if teasing her.
“Jjol, Jjol, Jjol, Lin is a Jjol.”
“Pifi, you!”
Friede held his stomach and burst into laughter as he watched the cute grabbing.
“What I said was not that kind of courage.”
“Then what is it?”
“Well, we might find out when Tureina and Rin grow up.”
And a year later, the young archmage died while protecting his comrades in the final battle.
He was eighteen years old and had not even become an adult.
The war ended amid the tears of those left behind.

“Oh my god, I never thought it would be at this level… … .”
Professor Caroline seemed speechless. No, everyone who was watching the situation did the same.
‘It is truly an incredible talent.’
Elin Ludwig opened her eyes and thought.
‘Yeommang, the best summoned beast among the flame reaper beasts boasted by the Rivendell School.’
Imoogi, fox, hawk, fire toad.
Among them, the Imoogi Yeommang, which was said to be the main weapon used by Archmage Orbos Karain, the founder of the Rivendell School, was famous for being picky about who it would contract with.

In the long history of the Rivendell School, weren’t only five people able to control desire?
‘It’s not perfect because it’s still immature, but it’s probably around 30% powerful… … Still, at most, I’m hoping for a 16-year-old chick.’
Of course Christa Warden also knew the significance of such aspiration.
“There is a way to beat that thing… … ?”
Christa tried to think of a way for Gertrude to win… … Nothing came to mind.
A hawk focused on attack.
A fire toad focused on defense.
A fox focused on fantasy.
Unlike those three, Imoogi is a technique that combines both offense and defense. It was truly a flawless and perfect summoned beast.
‘Are you kidding me?’
By the time I started using the flame net, I had already surpassed the cadet level. Even quite a few professional wizards are at Bilbil Gil level.
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
With a scream that was almost like an explosion, the rock covered by the Imoogi’s huge maw was engulfed in dazzling flames and burned.
It was so powerful that the rocks melted and turned into ash and scattered around.
‘What… … ?!’
Gertrude, who managed to roll to the side, gasped and looked back at the owner of the surreal heat.
Crrrrrrr… … .
When Lillian aimed the amulet at Gertrude, the Imoogi wrapped around the rock immediately burst into flames. Then it merged again into the form of a snake and rushed at me like a moon.
‘I can’t avoid it, I can’t avoid it…’ … !’
At that time, the professors were even telling the head professor that the exam should be stopped.
“Even if you don’t actually die, the pain will be beyond imagination! “It will remain a trauma!”
“Head Professor!”
The true purpose of this test is not to make the cadets die and kill… … Amidst such clamor, Chief Professor Margena closed his eyes.
‘Is it not there, is it not there again this time?’
At the very moment when she hesitated and raised her wand to release the barrier and turn all the illusions into nothingness, an afterimage of the past passed by in her eyes.
No, it wasn’t an afterimage or anything.
A window appeared in the lower right corner of the clairvoyance, and the boy’s eyes, looking at the netherworld, burned blood-red and began to rotate into a silver-white seven-pointed star. Just like Scalzi Ludwig did in the past.
“Belle Curious.”
My heart pounded, and for a moment my heart exploded with pain, and Lane’s vision turned red. In this red-black world, everything slows down.
┏ 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 ┓
ㆍThe main form of the technique is 5 triangles.
ㆍThe rune symbol used is a combination of modified Lutishen and amplified Delby Shirt, ratio 5:5.
ㆍSize: 1,144 axels, range: 1,556 kimite.

The vision that is imprinted in the mind through the eyes is not any scenery, but only the equations that make up the ability. There is no formula that the eye cannot decipher.
“Analysis completed, correction started.”
Twist the established equation.
So that the conclusion converges to 0.
It is verified by inversion to satisfy other established equations. By introducing a new equation, we remove the real roots from the magic formula and convert it to only the approximate roots.
– Three times.
Scalzi Ludwig warned so.
– As a result of testing, three times is the maximum with four horsepower. Of course, the higher the level of magic you are trying to interfere with, the shorter the limit.
This is the last magic power.
I had already used up most of my magical energy just hunting down monsters… … .
– If your magic power has reached its limit, never use it again. Because you will become incapacitated. So use it only when it’s really important.
All the blood vessels that had expanded like spider webs around the pupils burst and blood flowed out.
sick.
It really hurts.
Suddenly, the light of the Seven Stars faded from Raine’s eyes, turned into a death star, and then disappeared completely.
‘I did something stupid… … .’
After completing the hunt according to plan, they had just returned to District F, the last safe zone. Now all you have to do is set up a nest in a suitable place and defend your rank.
‘… … .’
If Lista, Friede, and Keyes had been in the same situation, would they have turned away from Gertrude right now? Those endless questions held Lane back.
‘No, no.’
I knew for sure from the fight between Logan and the Rat-Spider Queen. This is because the more you continue fighting against strong enemies, the faster you can reach 6 stars.
‘This is not helping Gertrude. It’s all for my battle experience… … .’
The moment Lane closed his eyes.
Crrrrrrrrr, this flaming weapon whose equation has been fundamentally denied──
The absolute flame that surged before Gertrude’s eyes in a wave of murderous heat—
It disappeared, scattering countless sparks across the horizon. She returned to nothingness.
“oh… … ?!”
“Oooooh… … ?!”
“Uuuuuu… … ?!”
As the fever raged and Gertrude’s skin was scorched, no one was able to open their mouths for a moment. Because I couldn’t believe the reality that was happening before my eyes.
‘Did Lillian just make a threat?’
‘Yes, because it makes no sense to attack someone with your desires.’
However, Lillian, who was present at the scene, had her pupils dilated as if she was the most embarrassed.
‘I’m desperate… … has disappeared… … ?’
It often happens that Yeommang gets hit by the opponent’s magic. And when the magic damage accumulates, it disappears.
But this wasn’t it.
The feeling of emptiness as the link to magical power was suddenly and forcibly cut off… … How on earth should I explain this strange phenomenon?
“… … .”
And there was a wizard who was watching the situation with eyes that were shaking even more violently than her. It was Marhena, the head professor.
‘In this battle royale exam format, there is one rule that all cadets clearly know without any explanation.’
That is, ‘there is absolutely no merit in helping others.’
It is said that it is difficult to take care of one’s own affairs, so how can one afford to take care of other people’s affairs?
‘And is that only a problem for mid- and low-ranking cadets?’
Even high-ranking cadets, who are relatively well-off, cannot afford to take care of others because of the competition for S grades.
This test is designed to find out whether you have a sincere and courageous desire to help others in such a situation, given the unique nature of limited time and resources and competitive testing.
‘There is no need to explain why Lin’s story has touched so many people for so many years.’
Because it is a story of growth.
Because the life of a ‘wizard’ contains the story of how he came close to becoming a ‘sage’.
‘Emitsa Page, Riot Warden… … What the sages of previous generations have in common is that they were all righteous people.’
And Grand Wizard Rin was also reborn as a being who knew how to sacrifice himself for his comrades at the last moment.
‘Perhaps the answer to the path to becoming a wise man lies in his righteous disposition… … .’
No professor has ever realized the true intention behind creating this test. It’s probably natural because no one has yet reached enlightenment like me.
‘Based on that evaluation standard.’
Marhena smiled happily as she looked at Raine Ludwig’s face reflected in the window, a face that mirrored the smile of Scalzi Ludwig from her student days.
“Scalzi, your grandson Noom scores 200 out of 100.”
