The wise man returns

Awakening through realization takes place over a process of approximately two to three hours.

During that time, no one entered the training ground. It was thanks to Silon's solid protection of the Claude.

Glug-ug-ub.

The whirling Mana slowly disappears in the middle of the training ground and is in a frenzy until the end.

Gulp.

I heard the sound of saliva swallowing. The sky suddenly turned red, but no one was bored.

Then Claude opens his eyes.

“Hmmm...”

A mournful groaning resounded. Not a very good first remark after becoming an eighth-grade wizard.

He looks around and bows to Silon at a 90-degree angle before raising his hands.

“I surrender. I lose." ”

“Master!! ”

At the end of the match, Alberto appeared positively. Despite the troops' restraints, you are still on your feet.

“Master! How are you feeling?" Wounded, wounded! Mana Circle...! ”

“It's okay. It's okay. It's all good. ”

Hehe laughs. Claude is not a loser at all. He rubs Alberto's head and returns to the hallway where he left off.

After confirming their disappearance, Silon returned to the passageway he had left.

At the entrance of the hall, a man was already waiting for him.

He was a beautiful man in a gorgeous outfit, but his face was crucially bear-painted and his eyes were cloudy.

He was Randolph, the second heir to the Duke of Rudens.

“Hey.”

“Let's go.”

Silon's attitude was relaxed while keeping the Duke's next heirloom in sight.

Randolph doesn't have a problem with that. The acolytes thought they were the ones who paid the big bucks, but the reality was a little different.

After the game, it was everyone's turn to retreat, and they headed outside the stadium instead of going to the seat.

“Why did you do that? ”

Randolph speaks first. It was a quiet tone as if it were a passing insect.

Silon tilts his head, pretending not to know anything.

“What's the matter? ”

“He's your enemy, isn't he? I know there are no connections between the Black Wizards in Sapphire Tower. ”

“Hmm, I shouldn't underestimate the information network of the Duke of Rudens. ”

Silon turns his head, smiling lightly. After checking Randolph's expressionless expression, he slowly copies Randolph's mouth.

“That's why you gave him eight classes of enlightenment. He's going to be a big enemy. ”

“Why did you give him eight classes of enlightenment? He's going to be a big enemy. ”

Two words, almost identical, protrude from Randolph and Silon at the same time.

Ordinary people may have reacted, but Randolph's expression remains unchanged.

“Please answer me. Unless you want to see your dark magic tribe crumble. ”

“Break it down? Can you do that? ”

Randolph replies silently to Silon's question. Needless to say, it was definitely an expression of confidence.

Silon chuckles. It was just funny how a human could threaten him.

Perhaps as long as I know him as the head of the Dark Magic Tribe, my confidence will continue.

Currently, Randolph knows Silon as the ultimate weapon for the tribe of black magic.

I couldn't help but wonder how that dark magic tribe would react if I knew it was gone.

‘This human will not change his face even if he hears my true identity. ’

His expression was broken only when he was obsessed with hobbies.

When he whipped a human back, Randolph's expression at that moment was so intense that even Silon couldn't resist admiration.

Anyway, Randolph asked a very common question. There was no reason not to answer.

Ceylon smiles, turning her head toward Randolph and saying,

“Because I like humans. ”

“... I didn't know that. I'm going to send some maids out there tonight. ”

“Not bad for a joke. But not everyone likes me. ”

After speaking, Silon takes a quick breath and smiles.

“Only a man with a struggle, to be exact. He showed me a struggle, even with my life in the open, and I gave him a reward in return. ”

“You're going to kill them all anyway, aren't you? I hear you're the head of the Dark Magic Tribe, and they...”

“I'll kill you. Again, use all your strength to knock them down. ”

Randolph raises a question and is silent as if nailed to his mouth.

In front of him, Silon quietly said.

“I've spent it all and it's grown, and I've spent it all again and it's stuck. Isn't this fun? I thought I'd barely made it over the wall, but there's a bigger wall in front of me. This time, you won't get over it. That frustrating look on your face, that you don't have a beautiful partner? I'll show you when I get a chance. Then you'll know exactly why I saved his life. ”

“... You're a hobby. ”

Randolph, walking across the street, says in a bored voice.

Your face is still expressionless, but on the inside, I feel a nuance that you disgust me.

Silon swallows his hind horse and laughs.

I didn't think he would understand himself anyway.

In the beginning, understanding humans was no different from understanding fleas.

‘It's been happening for a thousand years. It's too cold if you don't do that. ’

The duc's wagon arrives at the rear of the stadium.

The entrant and the candidate ordered a departure as soon as they loaded themselves onto the wagon.

* * *

Balin returned to the inn and turned on the communication artifact without washing.

That's how urgent today's information was.

“Is that true?! ”

“Yes. The Claude Top of Sapphire Tower is class eight. I had an epiphany during the game. ”

“I can't...”

Elijah couldn't help but be frightened. Despite having achieved a lot of growth for a year, my face was still visible.

But the news was not the end. Balin gradually reveals the information she had gathered.

It included data from the Duke of Abel yesterday morning and everything from today's game.

“Oh my God… is that true? ”

“I understand it's hard to believe, but it's all true. ”

After speaking, Balin sighs heavily.

In fact, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, and there was a glass bottle of blood that I brought yesterday as evidence.

“Well, then we need to contact the host and the Holy See and kill the vampires...”

“You can't do that. Then there will be unmanageable chaos. ”

Balin shakes his head to either side of Elijah's tumult.

If it is known that the Vampires are crouching for the Duke of Abel, the imperial war will surely stop.

Then the chances of dragon magic are sharply diminished.

‘I'm sorry to Elijah, but I can't say that much yet. ’

Too strong a force can sometimes paralyze a person's reason.

This secret was one of the burdens Balin had to carry until she wasn't sure that the situation would not happen to Elijah.

“But... are you sure you're okay? Vampires. Maybe they're after the Pope we met last year. ”

“It's not a guess, it's a sure thing. Their primary objective, of course, is to take the throne. ”

“... then...”

To Elia, who was blurry at the end of the sentence, Valine said with a relaxed look.

“That's it. Destroy it at the training ground. They won't even be able to do tricks there. I'll take care of that. ”

“... got it. ”

Elijah looks anxious, but nods.

It was also true that when I saw Balin walking, I was excited for some reason again.

‘Moreover, with the Andropos ball gone, there will be no problem if there are two more vampires as powerful as the emperor whom Representative Leven mentioned. ’

Elijah couldn't have known that Andropos wasn't joining us.

“Eight classes of the Grand Wizard showed up at the Sapphire Tower, by the way... I should have asked for some secrecy if I knew this. ”

Elijah, who wrote down the information, sighs and grumbles.

Both Claude's biggie and his growth into the eighth class today were based on the acquisitions from Ruby Tower.

Balin smiles quietly and shakes his head. The moment Elijah tries to greet you, he opens his mouth first and says,

“No, this is good. This is better if you want to stop the Diamond Tower liquor. ”

“Yes?”

Elijah looks at you startled.

From now on, Balin said it meant turning the Diamond Tower into an enemy.

“What is that... a Diamond Tower liquor, and Master Valine is trying to overthrow it?" ”

“No, not that far, but I feel the need to balance my strength. ”

Balin nods and thinks.

It's a secret to Elijah, but thanks to his agreement with Alberto, he was an open collaborator of Balin.

Alberto is responsible for the Sapphire Tower after Claude.

You can't say that getting strong like that isn't good enough for Ruby Tower anymore.

“But... why? ”

Elijah, who was beyond the artifact, asked with a shivering expression.

Diamond Tower has led the magic world for a thousand years since the founding of the Federation of Kadim.

Why do you want to change that now? That's what Elijah was asking.

“Because that's the wrong way. ”

Balin replied without hesitation.

It is a way that has lasted for a thousand years, but at the same time it has caused thousands of years of damage.

“Something wrong? ”

“Yes, the way everyone has been subordinated to the Diamond Tower for a thousand years. Elijah, do you think that's right? ”

“But...”

Elijah hesitates without an answer.

She also noticed that the entire tower was misaligned with the Diamond Tower's wishes.

But if that's completely wrong, shouldn't it last a thousand years?

It was preventing Elias from expressing his thoughts.

“From what I've seen, that's not true. That's also very, very wrong. ”

Valine spoke with conviction.

The more I thought about my previous life's experience, the more convinced I became.

A tower collapsed by a couple of vampire movements. How the shock had reached wizards all over the world!

The sorcerers who lost their worries committed crimes against the Demon King's invasion.

‘Of course, there must be a point of concern. But it shouldn't be a tower. ’

Balin instantaneously refines the interior of her mind.

Apart from any kingdom or empire, the knowledge and know-how of all wizards had to be shared.

It is such wealth and honor for a wizard who first discovered a new age.

And it was the minimum foundation for providing the best opportunities for young wizards who were pioneering ahead.

‘We need to move at least an hour. There are still so many wizards out there right now! ’

Balin bites his lip and recalls the new statues of the other tower he had just seen.

New wizards in the tower, including Lucilla and Bagman. Most of their skills remained between classes 3-4.

I know it's great, but Balin has seen more geniuses come out of the war.

And the environment in which those geniuses emerged was a united humanity with the goal of maximizing efficiency, where everyone generously shared knowledge.

I will complete the third episode at dawn. Sorry, readers.
