Episode 5
As the long summer ended, the autumn sky spread clear and the world was colored with the light of autumn leaves.
The vibration of the rattling carriage gave my body a sense of drowsiness and drowsiness.
Outside the car window, the deep scent of a colorful tulip field spreads all the way to the horizon. It was already fall in the world.
“You have to be polite, Raine.”
“I know. “It’s a place to meet her grandfather.”
“I’m sorry. “If I had been better, I wouldn’t have had to take you to a place like this.”
“You just need to know.”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“Well, I see. okay.”
The boy was startled to see Kavan smiling awkwardly.
Can’t I answer like this?
The boy turned his extraordinary brain at ultra-high speed and traced his memories with Rista. How would Rista respond at this time?
‘I don’t know… … .’
Right now, I couldn’t turn my head quickly due to the drowsiness that was overwhelming me.
Although he is said to have the intelligence of an archmage, he is only eleven years old.
It cannot overcome the physiological response of a young body.
“You must be tired. Take it easy while you go. “It’s five days away.”
In the Holy Human Empire, there are five elector families in each region, and each of them has five Madoseka who serve them.
A family of Warden princes of the East.
The Keppel Princes of the West.
Prince Vlado’s family in the North.
A family of Southern Page princes.
And here, it is the Prince Ludwig family to which the boy belongs that serves King Sion, the Elector of the central region, which is the richest in commercial products.
The Madose family began when the electors granted positions to outstanding court magicians, and among the count families, only the Madose family used the title of prince.
The exception here is the Page Bangbaekga, the leading Madoseka, but we will explain this later.
The carriage crossed Siastulica, the Ludwig family’s territory, and finally arrived at the King’s city,
“wow… … .”
It was truly a beautiful city.
Every section of the city was divided into seven sections, each color of the rainbow, emitting their own light in the autumn sunlight.
Representatively, the block where King Kong’s fortress was located was purple, and the block where the education district was formed was dark blue.
Kayvern took the boy to the
“What do you think? Do you want to take lessons too?”
“I prefer the classes I get from my father.”
It was a pure answer without any distractions, and it was the answer of my son who was already concentrating on the lecture.
This guy… … .
At that answer, Kavan felt his heart clench.
“Do any students have any questions?”
Raine raised his hand in response to the question asked by his grandfather, Scalzi Ludwig, as he put down the chalk. Kavan tried to stop him, but Scalzi spoke first.
“Something?”
“I wonder why the runes were written as spheres. If you use it as a ruler, you can use mathematical expressions more simply and increase its power. “In addition to ja (刺), there is also suffering (睾).”
Then, surprise spread across Scalzi’s face, and the students in the class had to look back at the boy blankly.
“That’s amazing. “That was what I would teach in the advanced section, ‘Application of Runes and Mathematical Formula Condensation.’”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“Since my family has come to visit, today’s lecture will end here. “The teaching assistant summarizes the lecture content, and you all follow along.”
‘You guys’ was referring to the boy and Kavan. As the father and son followed him out into the hallway, Scalzi glanced at Kavan.
“Are you still like that?”
“I feel like I want to vent my anger right now, but I’m holding back because I see the face of this brilliant grandchild.”
“It was Brim who gave birth to this brilliant grandchild, father.”
Scalzi was an old man with a strong appearance and a straight back despite his age.
The power of a proud wizard was alive throughout his body, and the magic power he unconsciously gave off was quite welcome to the boy.
Scalzi was one of only ten GLaDOS (4-star) level wizards in the current Empire.
“Yes, somehow you seem smarter than your ugly father, but you also seem polite. Like it. You should just leave. “I guess His Majesty the King would have asked to see him anyway.”
Why was it that moment? Why did I get involved in such a routine conversation?
“My father was not ugly. “He is a good father and teacher.”
Is it because I remember the first day I rode the carriage, when my father smiled awkwardly?
– Sir Lista, why are you taking such a young and inexperienced child?
– In addition to that child, there are six other skilled wizards of GLaDOS (4-star) level.
– you’re right. Are you not cooperative enough and too arrogant?
These were familiar looks and remarks.
To the orphan boy who has lived his whole life under the eyes of jealousy… … At that time, Lista Alter Surpin stood blocking his gaze with a grin.
– Lin is the best wizard. She is neither immature nor uncooperative.
– … … ?
– I just don’t know yet. You can learn from now on.
The voice that said that back then still remained deep in my memory. I also want to do the same thing to someone someday.

“… … .”
“… … .”
Kayvern’s eyes grew hot and he felt a heavy pain stabbing in his chest.
Scalzi turned to the boy, looked at his firm gaze for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.
“Do I not know that? “He is my son, whom I am proud of more than anything in the world.”
“father… … ?”
“Hey guy, didn’t I tell you to leave because I don’t need you?”
“… … All right.”
“But don’t retreat to the mansion. “After checking Lane’s aptitude, let’s have a drink together for the first time in a while.”
“… … !”
“Now, you follow me.”
Kayvern bowed his head deeply towards Scalzi, who was walking down the hallway holding Rayne’s hand.
A smile shone in my grandfather’s eyes, and tears flowed from my father’s eyes.
The boy thought.
Could this also be a gift from Lista? Would she have thought of this if she hadn’t met her?
– You’ll do well. Because Rin is a kind kid.
The boy, who had excellent skills as an archmage but lacked courage, took another step toward becoming a wise man today.
* * *
“Okay, so how did you know about rune combinations and mathematical formula rearrangement?”
Scalzi’s professor’s office was simple.
Only the necessary furniture was placed and all documents were neatly organized.
‘It’s really different from me.’
Lin’s lab in the past and Lane’s room in the present were routinely cluttered with books and documents… … The boy answered.
“I read a lot of books.”
“many?”
“Many many.”
“Hahahaha!”
I was at a loss as to how to explain it, but Scalzi instead laughed heartily and stroked the boy’s head until it became a mess.
“Actually, there was no need to ask. How much your father boasted about you… … “You’ve already mastered the theory of 3-star magic, right?”
“Yes, grandfather.”
I can’t say it, but I actually have 5 stars.
“And I also heard that you came to see me to open Belle Curious.”
Belle Curious.
Absolute Magic Eye, which means ‘penetrating perception’ in the language of the gods. Scalzi was one of the pioneers whose name was proudly engraved in the family’s history.
“How much magical power do you have now?”
“It’s barely enough to calculate a 3-star spell at high speed, grandfather.”
“You can calculate 3-star magic at high speed?”
Scalzi’s eyes widened.
I may have to explain the concept of ‘high-speed computation’ that wizards talk about.
The magic of drawing a magic square somewhere and filling it with runes and mathematical formulas to activate it is not called ‘high-speed computation’.
When the entire process is performed by mental calculation rather than pencil calculation, this is called high-speed calculation.
Up to a 4-star wizard, the rank is promoted when one can calculate more than 24 magics of that rank, but in order to reach the rank of 5-star wizard, that is, an archmage, one must be able to ‘high-speed calculate’ seven 5-star magics.
“This is amazing. No, it’s embarrassing. It’s amazing that he can use 3-star magic at the age of 11, but the high-speed calculations… … “Is there a precedent?”
If I were to be honest, it was there. Archmage Rin had attained a 3-star magic rank at the age of eleven and a 4-star magic rank at the age of thirteen.
Even compared to other great wizards, it is a far higher level.
“Then give it a try.”
“Here?”
“Okay, here.”
“The room will be destroyed.”
“Okay.”
“Everything will be a mess because of the wind pressure.”
“Okay. “I’ll get rid of it before that happens.”
Scalzi smiled inexplicably.
Getting rid of it… … ?
The boy was embarrassed, but opened his palms. High-precision formulas are calculated in an instant in my head, changing the providence of this world.
‘The shape of the magic square is three fans. The runes engraved on each are Yu (兪), Zhou (駐), and Je (制).’
To explain, three traits are engraved into wind attribute magic.
I felt a chill as if a cold thread was piercing my veins, and as the magical current swirled, all the furniture in the room began to creak.
“Huh… … “It was true.”
The moment Scalzi muttered that, an eerie chill swept over my body, my hair stood on end, and cold sweat broke out.
what… … ?
What is this?
It’s gone, the magic is gone, the entire magic square… … I didn’t even activate it, but that doesn’t mean I stopped it either.
“Don’t panic. “Didn’t I tell you I was deleting it?”
The boy, who had been staring blankly, felt fear once again.
Eyes shining red.
The silver-white seven-pointed star carved there.
Even the archmage’s intellect felt primal fear as he faced eyes that saw through everything in this world and its conditions of existence.
“This is Belle Curious. “You can control all the supernatural abilities you can see.”
But the fear immediately turned into trepidation, and the trepidation turned into elation.
Why wouldn’t it be?
That infinite power would soon be his, and the boy cheered uncharacteristically of an archmage.
“Ooh, wow!”
“Hahahaha! Do you want to try it too?”
“yes!”
The seven stars scattered from Scalzi’s eyes, and the burning light subsided. There was cold sweat on my forehead.
“Of course, it’s not invincible. “The spell can only be dispelled or transformed if the caster fully understands it.”
“But it’s still so cool!”
“And it requires more horsepower than it looks. “You still have a long way to go as you are showing signs of magical exhaustion with just one 3-star spell.”
Many of Ludwig’s descendants feel the wall and are frustrated right here. I decide I can’t get over the wall and give up.
“It’s just too far, right?”
“hmm?”
“Just because it’s far doesn’t mean you can’t go, right?”
But the boy was different.
All exploration was a pleasure for the boy, and the pleasure of overcoming the barrier of knowledge was indescribable.
“So teach me how to walk that path, Grandpa.”
The moment the boy answered boldly, Scalzi almost tore the corners of his mouth to his ears.
“My education will be very difficult.”
“Of course education should be like that.”
“Hahahahaha! You are truly my blood! Brim, I guess I should say thank you to that kid. “To give birth to such a brilliant child!”
Even the hedgehog said his baby looked pretty, and I thought what my son said was an empty exaggeration.
But it was a mistake.
This is a gem. It’s not just a gem, it might shed new light on the stagnant imperial magic… … .
