Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

"Are you...?

To Diaz's inquiry, the man remains smiling thinly in front of the door. Older, much older. Probably in his early thirties. Are you a guest invited to the college or are you wearing costumes that look expensive? Above all, it was its hair colour that characterized it. It's pitch-black everywhere, dark hair as if it represents the color in your belly. Keel remembered something about that hair color he never had a chance to see around here first. At the same time, Noct comes forward.

"Are you Harna's master?

"You were with Harna Katsuragi...!

At the end of the opening ceremony, this man was called Master by Yona. The dark-haired man, Derris, looks just a little unexpected and immediately restates his smile.

"Oops, I'm surprised your friend knew me. Excuse me, have we met somewhere?

"Don't be ridiculous! One war ago, I would have just said hello!

"... I saw you calling Harna at the opening ceremony"

"Oh, was that then? People's eyes don't know where they are."

"Aren't you subtly ignoring me? Hey, aren't you trying to erase the fact that we met?

Derris had been subtly out of sight of Noct from earlier, pointing all at Keel.

"In the first place, you wouldn't have spoken such a disgusting tribute! Show me who you are!

"... Prince Diaz. I'll break the word a little, would you mind?

"Hmm. I don't mind."

"Oh, yeah? I don't like being cramped, too, so that helps. You did a good job, Mr. Nocturnal."

"I didn't say it for you, and I don't know if I can break the word! I knew I could use a salute!

"Cook. Tell him to show himself, tell him to put his words back, you're funny."

Derris was totally playing with Nocto. Hi Noct seems to be the type of person whose emotions are prone to facial expressions, and if he gets angry, he boils in an instant. It's worth the tease that his face turns red like this.

"Well, we can't talk like this. Let me tell you something. I'll briefly introduce myself first, but my name is Derris Farrenheit. Prince Diaz is set to play next, serving as Yona's mentor. What he's saying there is true. Our Yuna is strong, isn't she?

"... what, are you here to brag?

"Well, half of it might be. At any rate, he's one of the children summoned by the Prime Minister of Joseph Magic from another world. Just like my hair, you thought it was unusual, right?

"- Eh!"

Diaz didn't think of it and got up from the bed she was sitting on. It looks like Derris is responding badly to what he's saying.

"The other world? What are you talking about?

"Come on, even if I ask you... Prince, do you know anything?

"... Summoning from another world is a special summons that summons brave men to fight the Demon King. The brave men to be summoned were supposedly equipped with tremendous power, and the ancient kings used it in times of national calamity. However, it is said that in some cases conflicts have arisen between the summoner and the brave man in a way that forces them to summon without the permission of the person who becomes the brave man. Because of those mistakes, it is now universally enacted as contraindicated magic."

"The boulder is Prince Diaz, well contained in the basics. Did you learn that on your own?

"I've been forgiven, but I still haven't given up being king. I've learned everything."

"Fine, thanks for the quick talk."

Stay close to Derris. Still in the wind of not caring at all, Derris just sat down with one chair in his hand, putting it near the prince. If you want to be vigilant, feel free to ask.

"Shall we go back to Prince Diaz, whom I have blocked earlier? The Prince wants to win the Graduation Festival because he is duly qualified and rightfully returns to the Royal Castle. - Right?

"... oh yeah"

"And break the evil that spreads to the royal castle, and, if necessary, become a new king who turns himself into a fool king, correcting the foundations of the country. I heard bad rumors somewhere these days, and I was so determined."

"... who are you really? I don't even know Joseph exists, that's the top secret that only those close to the current king know, like Nocto's father...!

"It's just a little bit more informative than people. Well, as the students around the prince know, Prince Diaz is about to take advantage of this graduation festival to correct corruption in this country."

"Of the country, corruption......? What, for example?

"We talked chills earlier, but Joseph, the magic prime minister, put his hands on forbidden magic, kidnapping boys and girls from different worlds without any sins, or something. Later, yeah -"

Delis speaks fluently. That Yuna, my godson, was originally an unfortunate girl who was abducted by Joseph and abandoned after being judged incapable. That most of the other abducted boys and girls are still imprisoned by Joseph. That the foolish king is turning into a minister Jesus man and that the top of the country is free to do whatever he wants. So Nell, the leader of the Magic Knights, and himself in his friendship moved to solve it, and recently helped several people and succeeded in liberating them from the castle. Chinatsu, who is competing in the graduation festival, is one of the girls who rescued him, who became Nell's apprentice and trained himself, along with Yuna, Derris' apprentice, who has the right to go to the royal castle and hopes to reunite with his friends, etc. - none of Derris' talking was true and not a lie (...).

"You met a brown-skinned girl with gray hair today, didn't you? That kid is actually the victim too..."

"So, but that kid, he tried to take the right to compete from us. Whoa!

"It was also for a friend who was imprisoned in the castle. If you make it to the graduation festival, you'll have a chance to break into the castle. Never, I don't think it was for personal gain (...). Because that's not a good reason to do that, and I'm sure he knows (...). So will you forgive me?

No, I only lied a little now by subtly expressing myself. But the lie seemed to have become a follow-up to the knife, and Keel, Salte and others were touched as they moistened their eyes.

"Right now, at this graduation festival, all sorts of thoughts are mixed up. In the meantime, Nell and I are taking part in this graduation festival with the help of the Dean. In other words, they are still locked up in the castle, building a system to help them out. Of course, the dean who loves his children, the treasure of the country, will feel the same way."

A cooperative system is built without knowing, threatened and dean.

"At the end of this graduation festival, a coalition of brave men will be formed that will gather the brave men elected from the surrounding countries and move to defeat the Demon King. Then, naturally, the kidnappers will be incorporated there. If we're going to screw this over to the Royal Castle, this is the only time."

"What happens when you tell me that? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to lose for any reason. I have faith to make."

"No, no, if you're a wise Prince Diaz, you've already noticed, haven't you? Do what I have to say."

Delis rose again and offered Diaz his right hand. Whatever that was, it was a sign asking for a handshake.

"Whether we win or lose the next game, how about working together for each other's purposes? If a prince worried about his country would become king, it would be easy to move even here. Prince Diaz would be able to eliminate Joseph, who works illegally on behalf of the present king, who cannot think with his own head. Will you let me help you become king? We can change the magic kingdom of Ardelheit!
