Lesson 16 What a Difference Between Love and Favor Is One Letter (2)

It was a thankful word, and I was honestly pleased.

But I knew it was painful not to let Maria learn magic. She wanted me to teach her magic, because it seemed more fun than usual.

So I decided to hang up with the owner.

"Um… my lord"

"Hmm?... Graius? Hey, what's up?

"As a matter of fact…… please,"

He wants me to hire a magic tutor.

I couldn't deny the possibility that I'd be fired, but that's why I'm willing to let it go. Besides me, it would be best if you hired a magic tutor, but I stopped early because that kind of imagination wouldn't change the outcome just because my spirit would be shredded.

My lord, who listened to me, said "OK" after swallowing the favor properly.

As a result, I was never fired.

There were no new tutors coming.

Instead, Master Orsene, the Lord's secretary, was to teach us the basics of magic.

For some reason, I'm with you.

"There's no harm in just learning the basics."

That said, my lord has prepared materials for me along with Maria's. I'm sorry, I wasn't able to hear "one or two different" when I was at least trying to get you to pull it off my salary.

The only thing that's cold is the appearance, and the contents are gentle and sweet. I had some idea because I was watching you deal with your wife, but I didn't think you could even point it at yourself.

Not only the Lord, but the Tempests are all kind. To say that you are a nobleman with deep history and sitting closest to the royal family is completely different from the nobility I know.

I don't despise the fallen former nobleman. I have nothing to be sorry for.

I don't think they had zero sympathy, but they don't try to push me for excessive protection.

Nobility was bad.

I didn't resent you. Even for a short period of time, I was one of them. I know there's nothing I can do about it where I resent it.

Still, what I had against the Duke of Tempest was a bad consciousness.

I was really bad at the aristocracy and the same Duke lineage as I used to be...... should be.

Ma'am, it's no different than when we first met.

Our Lord taught us that people do not know by appearance.

Maria flipped everything she planted.

It melts away. They change. I'm getting repainted.

That's itchy, uncomfortable, but I don't hate it.

He turned to his last magic class, remaining in a mixed and complex mood.

There will be no need to explain what happened there.

Just like me, the moment Maria waved down her mock wand... the air changed.

It is obvious from Orsene-like reactions that it is not a 'good thing' to pulse with light.

My crisis management skills were sounding a warning. Even Maria, who is sitting there with her cane thrown out, must have recognized that what is happening is unusual.

If you don't run, or something. I have to do something about the wand, or something. Whatever action I wanted to take, I wanted time to judge.

But the anomaly trumps our wishes as if we were laughing.

Light suddenly drawn, heartbeat. A moment of silence.

My body was moving directly with my mind, not my brain, to the swollen 'attack' that didn't just say that was the trigger.

"Maria...... ugh!!

I don't remember what you screamed.

I just pulled Maria's arm to attract her according to what I felt I had to do with instinct.

Light and thin, small body. Extra recognition when held together to shelter, child's temperature.

I have to protect you. I have to protect you so you don't get hurt.

"Uh-oh!!

In preparation for the shock, he put his strength into his arms holding Maria tight. Eat and bind your teeth and meditate on your eyes. I set my mind to the signs of an approaching attack, and waited.

"............... Ah, get it?

I'm not coming, nothing. The attack, the pain that should come with it, even the shock.

I wanted to know the answer to the question mark going around my brain, I wanted to make sure what happened, and I wanted the peace of mind of saying that nothing would happen, and I slowly opened my eyes.

I think the first thing I recognized was the bright orange color, Orsene-like hair. Next thing you know, you can see the golden colour and the yellow colour side by side, and the master and wife who noticed the light rushed?

So at the end of the day……… surround me, something transparent.

"What…………?

What is this?

I can see a rainbow reflecting sunlight like a membrane of chavon balls, but it looks solid like vitreous. It surrounds me and Maria in my arms in a dome.

When I looked at the ground, the lawn was scattered and the dirt was on my face to avoid the dome walls.

"This..."

You protected me…………?

There is no certainty. But I felt that Maria and I were intact and that the scar on the ground was proof of that.

Slowly, reach for the membrane. It was an unconscious behavior, but before the fingers touched it, the membrane fogged with luminescence.

All that's left is the scratched ground and intact... me and Maria.

"Ah, Maria!!

Look at Maria, who left her body with me in her arms.

The lack of consciousness was obvious, but I couldn't tell if it was sleeping or fainting.

"Excuse me, Mr. Gray"

"Orseneus…"

"…… it's okay, I'm unconscious but my pulse is normal"

At some point, Mr. Orsene, who was nearby, touched Maria's neck and smiled at me about how anxious she looked.

As it is, receive Maria from my arm in a flowing motion.

"But just in case, let your doctor see it. Mr. Gray doesn't seem to have any trauma either, but please take a test just in case."

"Yes..."

It seems like things are coming to an end without knowing what's going on.

The next person who approached me when I stroked my shoulder down was the Lord.

"Graius, are you hurt?

"Yes. I don't know..."

Her wife was either accompanied by Maria or she was blind.

I'm alone with the Lord...... honestly, I'm only nervous. Even if we know that our employer is not the same kind person as his cold appearance, there is no way we can say that he is comfortable with someone who is a nobleman and an employer.

"Thank you. Thanks to you, Maria saved my life."

"Uh... no, I am"

"No, thanks to you."

I didn't do anything. That's what I wanted to say, and the fact is, you're right. It wasn't me that protected Maria, it was that transparent membrane, and I just acted on my emotions.

I wanted to deny that, but the Lord blocked my words with a serious look.

"It was your power that protected Maria."

"Uh... oh, uh, what?"

"You're the one who put out that shield, Grace."

"Shh, Rudd..."

Speeches rolled out early in the arrow crossed my capacity easily.

I know about the defensive wall (shield). I learned it in Master Orsene's class. Literally, a shield that defends against both magic and physical attacks.

But there's no way I can get that out.

"My lord, I can't get a defensive wall out. That 's--"

"It's magic you can't put out unless you've decided on your attributes."

………

Exactly. Defensive walls are not magic that can be used without attributes. "Attribute magic" has a distinctive character in attribute matters and is a history taught by dedicated teachers.

There is no way that our lord, who is a nobleman, does not know.

Then why did you mention that there was no such slap?

"Attributes are not things that cannot be determined without learning in school"

"That's true… but the level of knowledge I've learned shouldn't lead to the fixation of attributes"

Magic can be taught even by tutors in the first place, but knowledge that only fixes attributes is not so easy to teach. After mastering the knowledge of all the attributes, if you can't manipulate attributeless magic, it's another dream such as fixing attributes.

What I learned from Mr. Orsene was the basics of magic. It's impossible for an attribute to be fixed.

"That would be a story if we were to anchor the unattributed to a particular attribute. If it's fixed, it's different."

"Originally, fixed………………"

"It's not uncommon, but it's not."

What the Lord is trying to say is he who was born with an attribute.

Everyone is unattributed at birth... that's the basics of magic, but very rarely there are people who have certain attributes since birth.

And that I have that attribute.

"That defensive wall belonged to the Holy Attribute... there is no Holy Attribute at home"

"…… me."

People other than the Tempest who were there...... that's just me.

It's too unexpected for me to say that I have an attribute… I don't believe it, I don't understand it.

"Of course I can't say for sure if I don't formally inspect and see... almost, I'm sure"

"What... what did Mr. Orsenne say?"

"I'm worried about the injury… including 'it'."

"…… Are you sure?"

What can I say? In this case, no matter what I said, I felt right and wrong.

Confusion, confusion and a little fear.

I should have survived hell, but now I can't see much further than I did back then. Any unimaginable sense of fear.

"……… It's okay."

"……… Toshi, Sama"

The feeling of my big hand came down on my head, solidified by the fear that I couldn't see at my feet.

Gentle, slightly warm, the motion to stroke your hair as it glides calms your mind.

The eyes I looked up to are blue, reminiscent of the cold cold, but behind them is strength and absolute relief.

"You have nothing to worry about, leave it to me."

"I'll take care of it... but..."

"Thank you for protecting Maria."

"Oh, that was me…………………"

I did it on my own.

Although I was lucky because I had attributes, I was just acting like an emotion at that moment.

"Because Maria is... important."

The Lord looked complicated in the words and still gently stroked my head.
