Episode 57
“Lord Lista, would you mind taking a moment?”
Around the time when Lysta Alter Surpin announced that he was looking for a wizard companion for the Magic Alliance, the ‘Story of the Beginning’ began like that.
“I’m Atlanta. He is the dean who leads a school in the northern outskirts. You probably haven’t heard of the Osarius school, but… … .”
“It’s an honor to meet you. Feel free to call me Rista. “Do you even intend to go on an expedition together?”
Atlante was startled for a moment.
Rista’s kindness was beyond the norm. He must be receiving enthusiastic offers from the Eight Great Schools and the Five Great Families, so how can he be so kind to the dean of a small or medium-sized school that is not even a medium-sized school?
He was a talent beyond rumors. That’s why I felt even more confident. Trust that child and leave it to him.
“It’s not me, but we have a brilliant student in our school. He’s already a 4-star wizard. “Can you please take the child away?”
“He’s a 4-star wizard, but he’s a child? “How old are you?”
“I’m thirteen.”
For a moment, Rista’s expression darkened.
How can I narrowly reject this, is there some other dark beast lurking around?
“I’m thirteen, so no matter how talented I am, I’m too young to go to battle. “If you want to get rid of a nuisance or something like that, there are many other ways.”
“I hope you don’t misunderstand. “It’s not because of that.”
“… … ?”
“It’s definitely intelligent and excellent, but… … If you grow up like this, you probably won’t grow up well. Trapped in their own world.”
At that time, an emotion that passed through Atlante’s eyes instilled a vague sense of trust in Lista.
Was it grief?
I don’t know if it was a feeling of sadness that he could not guide his growth as a teacher until the end, but I could clearly see the sincerity hidden in that sadness.
“I’ve already taught you everything you can learn at the desk. So now, can you teach me about the world? “So that you can become a great adult.”
It’s the story of the beginning.
And the story at the end.
This story, which has not yet ended 300 years later, began here.
“Okay, let me meet you. But it’s not me or the dean who decides. “It’s him.”
* * *
I don’t want to get close.
I don’t want to become friends.
When I returned to the tower of Page Manor in the evening, and opened the door again and faced this hysterical girl, that was what immediately occurred to me.
“Miss, this is Lane Ludwig.”
Cassena turned her head from the telescope she was looking at and glared this way.
Was he still crying?
His red, swollen eyes trembled, he turned his head and looked at the wall, and said:
“Why did you come again?”
“It’s because it’s the president’s request. “It’s not something I, a junior cadet, can refuse.”
“Mom’s unreasonable behavior is like an annual event, so it’s over in a day or two. She said I kicked her out and she just left.”
This won’t work because there’s something that needs to be received too… … . When she didn’t leave her room, she glared at Kasena as if she was dumbfounded.
“Aren’t you going? “Go.”
“I can’t go.”
“why?”
“Actually, I made that kind of contract.”
Cassena had to bite her lip to suppress her boiling anger. Her patience was reaching its limit.
“The contract is a mess! Don’t you even think what I’m saying? “I’m sure you don’t know who I am.”
“Hmm, aren’t you Miss Kasena?”
“If you know, just leave, please…” … .”
Lane didn’t go out.
After exchanging such arguments two or three times, Kassena’s anger eventually exploded.
“I told you to go! You, I hate everything! know? “My uncle is Prince Arthen and my mother is Prince Paige!”
My father is Prince Ludwig and my grandfather is Ludwig the Scalzi… … This wasn’t something that would make sense.
“I know.”
“But why aren’t you listening to me!”
For a moment, I thought Cassena’s eyes were trembling, but then the book flew again and tore Lane’s forehead, causing blood to flow.
Kasena herself, who had thrown the book, probably thought she would stop it with magic, but turned her head with a surprised look in her eyes.
“Does it hurt? If you don’t want to see me in more pain, get out. “There’s no need to be there unless you like being annoyed!”
“there is. “I have a contract with the president.”
“What kind of contract is that?”
“If I had to explain it, it would be a contract to turn a woman who had become a wreck into a human being.”
“Hey, you arrogant… … !”
Cassena went berserk and started throwing all the furniture in the room at me… … Here she used her magic to protect her body. I don’t like being sick.
“Who are you. Ludwig? Prince Ludwig? Shall I exterminate that family? As long as I pester my father or uncle, it’s over for you, you son of a bitch! “Get out of here!”
“… … .”
“Why are you here! I like? Do you like seeing things like this? “Do you think it’s nice to see someone with a bad leg crawling on the floor?”
When she threw everything and had nothing more to throw, Kassena began to sob.
No, no.
only one… … No matter what happened, I did not throw away the astronomical telescope that was set up by the window where the dusk was shining.
Only after the confusion subsided did Lane open his mouth with a soft sigh.
“I didn’t come to comfort you, and I have no intention of comforting you. “I’m not that kind of person.”
Listana Friede would have offered comforting words with a beautiful smile, but as I said before, I am not that kind of person.

I am a wizard by nature.
Follow reason, not emotion.
Therefore, I picked up the book that was tearing my forehead and rolling at my feet. 『The Other Side of the Continent』 was a travel book written by the famous adventurer Willan.
“You can make her walk instead.”
Kasena, who was sobbing with her face in her hands, suddenly lifted up her watery eyes.
“You can walk and go to the land mentioned in this book.”
“It’s impossible. “My spine, my spine was damaged.”
“It is called magic because it makes the impossible possible.”
“Don’t make me feel bad! If you’re talking about using telekinesis to move your legs, then f*ck it! “Forcing these unsightly legs to walk only makes them even more ugly!”
Bel Sidious, Raine’s eyes burn red and he immediately interprets everything that appears in his vision using mathematics.
“The shape of the magic square is a pentagon, and the runes carved are fine.”
The signals that cause the body to move are all weak currents flowing from the central nervous system.
If part of the organ that sends the current is damaged, it can be resolved with lightning-type magic.
“Relax your body and just take it easy. “If you try to resist the force, you will get hurt.”
Cassena’s legs twitched. Kassena just blinked as if she could not believe the reality happening before her eyes.
“This is a movement towards the thigh. This amount of force moves the toes. Well, then if you do this… … .”
The next moment, Cassena stood up from the chair. Of course, those legs couldn’t support the body’s weight, so a little bit of telekinesis was added.
“It’s a lie, it’s a lie. There’s no way this is possible… … .”
While Cassena’s eyes were twitching, Rain sent a series of electric current signals through magic, and Cassena’s legs began to walk.
One step, one step.
Like a toddler, but clearly taking one step, then two steps… … Lane crossed his arms as if he were being proud.
“This is the magic possibility.”
“… … ?!”
“It’s a bit awkward because it’s not my body and your body isn’t intact, but you can walk like this. Now, do you want to learn some magic from me?”
In fact, manipulating someone else’s neural circuits and moving their body like this was something I had only thought of as a theory during my Lin days.
But now it was possible.
Because I was able to see the flow of magical power within my body through Bell Sidious. I could not help but admire once again the power of kinship limits that made the theory possible.
“… … .”
Cassena, who was speechless for a long time, perhaps embarrassed or shocked, finally let out a trembling breath and shook her head.
“Get out, get out! “You bastard!”
“?!”
“Do I look like a fool? Oh, fooling around with cheap hallucination magic… … Get out before I kill you! Guard! What are you doing! “Don’t drag this bastard out!”
Huh, huh? I thought absent-mindedly while the escort driver who immediately rushed to Cassena’s shout and politely dragged Lane away.
‘This is how it works?’
Of course I thought, ‘Wow, this is magic, it’s so cool! Should I learn magic too?’ Did you think it would turn out like this?
“… … Isn’t this it?”
* * *
“Oh my gosh, I’m so relieved to hear that Kkanjuk is leaving the magic tower.”
The day Rin left the Magic Tower was chaotic from early morning.
Classmates who, although not close, had never had a hostile relationship with each other are spouting out such words one by one.
To say that he is now leaving coldly after learning everything he has learned without even knowing the grace that was given to him, or that his eyes have turned away in love with the warrior’s beauty… … .
“Hey, someone would really like it. “Because you have talent, a beautiful warrior like that personally appoints you and takes you there.”
There was no particular rebuttal. Because I knew full well that arguing with hostile people was just tiring.
I just quietly packed my bags.
When I left the tower, the dean and Rista were waiting in front of the school’s main gate.
A total of eighteen students were lined up on both sides of the stepping stones leading to the main gate, and their eyes were shining brightly, as if they had come out to be sarcastic this time.
“Lin.”
It was only when they reached the entrance that the Ambassador opened his mouth in a silence that bordered on sarcasm. The voice was trembling gloomily.
“Take care of yourselves. “We will all be waiting for the day you come back.”
For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.
When I turned my head and looked blankly at the great brother, the eyes of my classmates, who had been busy being sarcastic since dawn, became watery and they shouted:
“If I die, I won’t leave you alone, you obnoxious bastard! I’ll definitely see you again… … !”
“We will take care of the dean’s hysteria instead of you… … !”
“Write letters whenever you have time! okay? If you don’t let me go, I won’t leave you alone… … !”
The surrounding situation quickly turned into a sea of tears, causing intense confusion, and my gait became strange. No, the act of walking itself has become impossible.
And at the same time, my eyes became uncontrollably hot and my world became hazy.
It was then that Dean Atlante placed something deeply on Lin’s head. It was a hat.
“Wizards don’t cry. Are others looking down on you?”
“… … .”
“Those fools aren’t that good at magic, and they’re not that good at acting either. How can it be just one day… … .”
Whether it was to cover up Rin’s tears or Dean’s own, only Rista who was next to him would know.
“The sun is hot in the South. “I’ve only ever lived in the north, so if I go unprepared, my skin will be very stingy.”
Lin said nothing for a moment.
The hat covered the source of the tears, but it could not cover the rain of tears that flowed down the cheeks and fell ceaselessly on the ground.
“Hak, the dean… … .”
I had to say thank you.
I have been indebted to you indescribably. The grace that God gave us, the grace that taught us magic, the grace that gave food and a place to sleep to an orphan who had nothing… … .
I was supposed to say thank you, but all I could hear was a painful squeak, like an animal whose lungs had been pierced by an arrow.
“Lin, will you promise me?”
Placing his hand on Rin’s head, the teacher spoke. In a voice mixed with pride, in a voice stained with bitterness, and in a voice filled with affection.
“When I return, I will be a wonderful adult who can share the light of magic with others.”
That was my farewell to my teacher.
And as we all know, the boy never returned to his classmates. The only thing that returned five years later was the great wizard’s sad news.
The war ended like that, and in honor of the achievements of the boy whose name was engraved on the memorial stone as the archmage of the warrior party, it was decided that the Osarius school would be promoted to a university school.
None of the classmates welcomed the reward given in exchange for the boy’s life.
