Ilmis says with no expression as he watches Almark rise.
"At first, I wondered what I was going to start."
Almark blushed in embarrassment.
"This is my first exam..."
I say it even though I think it's only an excuse.
"Hey, I was losing my normal mind"
Illmis laughs thinly.
"If we're going to start with the stone carving process like that, I've been thinking about getting meditation aids all summer."
It was dangerous.
Almark sweated cold inside.
I was already close to activation.
Magic was on the verge of spilling out of my fingertips.
"I remembered everyone's words with a gibberish. Do what you can. So I thought."
Right, and Illmis shrugs.
"The challenge to life is an accessory. There will always come a time when you have to hang on to your life trying to not even know if you will succeed. But this exam is not like that. I don't want to see if I can demonstrate what I wear in my regular classes and let something I haven't even done be challenged with one or eight to succeed"
"Yes."
Until just now, that's exactly what I was gonna do.
"You're smart. I think I've said it before. Clever, but therefore, a little thought makes it easy to get to that kind of answer. At first glance, it's like you're right."
On the day I failed with the dragon flame, Illmis told me the same thing in the infirmary.
"But fortunately, you have a measure of listening to people, and there are good friends around you"
"Yes."
Yes, my friends helped me this time.
"Never forget how grateful you are to them"
"Yes, of course"
The Dean of the College told me the same thing. Almark nods quickly, but Ilmis shakes his head.
"I didn't say the word now to you in front of me."
Almark is confused by the word. Illmis continued with a tough face.
"I said to you in the future. For you after you reach far higher heights than they are in the near future."
"Doctor, that's"
She tried to buy me too much, but Ilmiss softly controlled me.
"I know how you feel right now"
And loosen your expression all the time.
"Good meditation today"
Almark's face shines with unexpected praise.
"It's a gift of your hard work. I guess I didn't hesitate to try. Well done. I've worked this far in this short time."
"Thank you"
And Ilmis, he declared, strictly.
"At the end of my vacation, I decide to start teaching you magic. Improve your meditation during this vacation."
"... Yes!
That was the moment Almark had been waiting for since his admission to the college.
