Start A New Game

“So it's just a matter of explaining the traits of Black Mana? ”

Third floor of the Central Tower. In the assigned waiting room, Sahan and Armada are having a conversation about the subject, Black Mana.

“Yes, it is. But that's amazing. I can't believe that Black Mana really matched all the attributes.”

Armada says he was impressed. Zahan scratched the back of his neck.

“... But if you explain it like that, it's a little short, don't you think? ”

“It's okay. I'm going to ask you a question anyway. But if you have any questions about wizards, they're a race that knows no bounds. If you're asked a question, you may not be able to finish it if you want to. So if you have a question you're having trouble answering, or if you want to stop, don't answer it. I'm just saying, I can't answer that. That's all you have to say. Of course, there are some wizards who can run without convincing themselves, but if you ignore them a few times, they'll just go away. ”

“Oh, yeah. So... what are the characteristics of Black Mana and what kind of questions do we need to prepare? ”

Sahan said, laying out a piece of paper on his desk with a script that he had thought of in his own way.

“Yeah, but... maybe it's him. You may or may not ask questions about the magic that broke the moonlight effect. ”

She looks at her with a look of difficulty.

“Can't you refuse that question? It's a little complicated and I hate to explain it, but... ”

“... I think it's okay, but it might be a little annoying. I think we need proof. Evidence that Saehan has turned off the moonlight effect. They won't believe us until they see us. There are many wizards who still don't believe that Saehan did it. ”

He hung his chin and thought for a moment. Armada sighed as if he could hear him with warm eyes, mixed with subtle emotions.

“Hmmm... so I can just hide my ‘vision’ and just cast the ‘magic’ as proof, right? You just have to see it with your own eyes. ”

“Yeah, well, if you have a little problem with that, you can make sense of it. It's the Wizard's Vision. Who's gonna puke?”

Armada smiles softly. Forgiveness also smiled in her mouth. Time has passed, but she is still a trustworthy woman, with such thoughts.

“... This reminds me of the old days. ”

For a while, we looked at each other, and Armada opened his mouth. She pretended to be unfaithful, pretending not to be. Sahan can recognize her fine trembling voice and nervous breathing.

“ … ”

With a nice smile, he doesn't pretend to hear anything, but looks back to the script. Armada bites his lower lip in his attitude. She was noticeably depressed for a while, but now she's just a-joking. He smiled cheerfully, then sat next to him and began to revise and complement the script together.

* * * *

“Sahan, we have to leave soon. ”

At the horse tower employee's statement that it was time to start the talk, Saehan reviewed the script with roughly anticipated questions and answers and jumped to his feet.

“Don't be nervous, just relax. There are some pretty famous housewives there... but you don't have to die, do you? ”

For Saehan, who was about to leave the waiting room, Armada reassured him with a small smile.

“I'll go in a little later and support you. ”

“... Hahaha... Yes. Thank you."

She smiled and replied, slowly following the employee out of the waiting room door.

Perhaps a luxurious lamp walked along the wall for five minutes, and the staff led him to the door marked "Speaking Room."

“This is it.”

“… Thank you. ”

The stewardess leaves, and Zahan takes a deep breath. Then, slowly open the door and enter the room.

The gaze of the wizards pours out as soon as the door is opened, accompanied by a hissing sound. In his gaze, he felt like his body was crushing. It seems that the structure of the lecture room is stacked, so it is quite overwhelming and oppressive as all the gazes stick out.

Once I coughed for no reason, I slowly went up to the top of the monolith and stood in the middle of the monolith. Examine the wizards sitting in front of you. All of them are somewhat famous in the magical world. Even wizards have a reputation for continental medicine, including ‘Medipoon’ ‘Lenol’, which Morlaiya cannot understand.

Once again, she opens her mouth carefully.

“Hello, I'm sorry, Wizard. I'm here because I've been asked by the Association to introduce the traits of Black Mana. ”

After greeting her, she slowly looked into the room. I don't know what I've done wrong, but there are some wizards who look a little uncomfortable. Sahan tilted his head and continued to speak again.

“First of all, I've heard a lot of guesses about the Black Mana from a long time ago. So I think many of you here are curious about the nature of that Mana. ”

A hundred pages long. Once she says that, she closes her eyes and focuses her mind on the Mana in her body. Then the black Mana flowed out of his body, and soon began to sink like a deep mist to the floor of the lecture hall. The moment the wizards saw the reality of 'Black Mana’ with their own eyes, the room became noisy with a loud noise.

“As you can see, Black Mana exists. And this characteristic of Mana that you're going to be curious about. So the first thing I want to say is, it's not that different from what you've been guessing. Being black with all colors, Black Mana literally gets a bonus for ‘All Magic’. ”

At his words, there was even more commotion in the room. The wizards who come from the family unit are each talking to the same family with a frightening look on their faces.

Saehan watched the murmur quietly, and opened his mouth again as it receded.

“If you have any questions, please let me know. ”

Scary as he finishes, most of the wizards in his seat raise their hands in an upright order.

Although she was embarrassed for a moment, she calmly pointed to the ‘Tatans’ family, which she thought was the first to raise her hands.

“Yes, let's start with the ‘Tatans’. “

“S-all attributes... are they literally ‘all attributes’ or ‘all types’? ”

When speaking of magic, magical properties refer to attributes of elements such as water, fire, type refers to auxiliary and destructive magic, etc. In response to the House of Tatans' question, he nods.

“Yes, that's right. I mean, it's not magic, it's Mana. ”

“… wow… ”

A member of the House of Tatas asked me a question, admiring it without my knowledge, he quickly lowered his head, holding his hand over my mouth to see if he thought he was careless enough to fit in.

“.. and then the next. ”

After answering the question, Saehan pointed to the next family.

“We're curious about the situation when Sir Sam woke up the essence. I heard that the color of Mana is something that you can only realize through the centuries. I wonder how, thanks to something like this, you were able to awaken the Mana essence in such a short time and capture color in Mana. ”

“Hmm... You know...”

The question of this family was clearly a bit difficult to surround. When Armada told us that the Blaze family had enlightened Mana's essence at the age of 60, using the accumulation of 100 years of knowledge. After a moment of concern, he made his decision.

“... to awaken the essence of Mana. That doesn't necessarily take 200 years. Just as each person looks different, the fact that they awaken the essence of Mana is also different. There are those who have enlightened the essence of Mana throughout their generations, while there are those like me who have awakened the essence of Mana in a short time, alone. There is, of course, a special situation called the battlefield. Humans exert superhuman power when pushed to the extreme. ”

Zahan chose a breakthrough. It may look a little clumsy and arrogant...... but I don't know what to do. I don't remember the lies I want to surround myself with, but the wizards here are all the same about wearing their heads. Just like you did with Eden, you'll be out in three seconds.

“…… then. After all, it's the difference in talent. ”

The questioner asked again. I don't know why the young man of the Tedis family asked me that, but I was impressed by his confident attitude. I felt confident in his appearance for no reason, and he gave me a fresh, relaxing smile.

“Yes, I suppose it is. ”

After answering and looking around, the members of the high family and elders seemed quite uncomfortable. While relatively young, low-ranking families are staring at themselves with glowing eyes.

“... but even so...”

It was then that the Madipun family opened their mouths. He is a middle-aged man who does not hide any discomfort about the attitude of the compassionate who looks arrogant just now.

“I heard you turned off the moonlight effect." And I wonder how. No doubt, but everyone can say, "I did it." ”

The sound of the day when the enemy is infiltrated. The wizards around him were also in a mood to agree with his opinions.

Although not everyone has such hostile intent as Medicine, he seemed eager to hear about the magic related to the gospel.

”Well, the magic I created played a big role. It's called the Dispel, but I'll just tell you a little bit about it. It's magic that kills the presence of Mana in the range I've chosen. ”

The apology was hot for a moment. The Crafting Enchantment Scroll can be said to have been created by itself, but this magic was created by a dragon.

‘.. will be fine. The dragon that made the dispel is over a thousand years old. ’

When Zahan was thinking of such timidity, the silence in the meeting room sank. All the wizards who were writing something down in the notebook and people who were wearing arms and looking at Forgiveness with arrogance. I stare at him, stiffened.

The silence that lasted for a while was followed by the sound of someone's footsteps and a burst of laughter.

“Do you think that makes sense? ”

Saehan looked at the protagonist of the voice. Familiar face and unexpectedly welcoming. It used to be Dermian, who thought Sahan had a little bit of a bad story.

He was looking at the forgiveness with a polite expression, but until now he seems to have been silent because of the people of the high family. But it must have been because he was so senseless that he couldn't bear to pay the rent.

“’Destroy Mana’... Is that what you're saying? It would be better to believe that it destroys the atmosphere. Mana is a part of nature. It always cycles without perishing. It means that you can't just take it away and sleep on it. Are you trying to call that nonsense evidence now? ”

The sorcerers around you seemed to agree with what Dermian said. Maybe getting rid of Mana was, in their common sense, literally absurd. She slowly looked around the room, smiling deeply in her mouth.

I thought the word seminar was a little awkward, so I replaced it with a talk.
