: Elder (1)
"That's the magic world ."
"Isn't that pretty cool?"
Jamie saw a huge tower that seemed to reach the sky.
It was so high that it looked like the sun was hanging from the top of the tower.
With such a tower as the center, the city consisted of a cross in all four directions, with small towers erected on all four sides as if protecting the central tower.
The horse is a small tower, and the central tower, which is the target of comparison, was too high, and the four towers boasted great heights.
It wasn't just that.
The whole city is in perfect symmetry.
The main tower and the four towers erected in all directions were the main ones, and all the buildings were connected by dots and lines.
"It's like a magic circle."
"I thought Confucius would recognize it."
Siegfried smiled and continued.
"It is said that 500 years ago, the first king designed it himself."
"What kind of magic circle is it?"
"It's not funny to say that now."
At that, Jamie smiled bitterly.
At first I didn't even think that Siegfried was going to tell me. After going with them, I found out that he likes to go crazy with someone.
A villain of evil that tries to use even the smallest details as a joke.
"I didn't even want it."
"That's a funny reaction."
Jamie shook her head and said.
"Come on. We are very late."
"Is that so?"
From hiss to the magical realm.
Originally, it should have arrived in an instant, but in the meantime, I went through so much.
'I thought I was going to go right after Saint-Dermain.'
We went through a few more cities.
Why are you going so leisurely, thinking about it, I need to broaden my horizons or something.
Then, I heard him quietly add the words, 'It's fun because I think the old people are going to ride some shit.'
"Then I will go right in."
As Siegfried snapped his fingers, the space began to shudder and change rapidly.
When the space is stable,
"How about a closer look?"
"Oh."
Jamie had to open her eyes wide.
A strange-looking wagon passes at great speed over a strange-looking iron wire that crosses the sky.
A huge airship was flying above it. A video was streaming from the huge screen on the airship.
[Are you unable to concentrate? You're not collecting mana? In that case, try 'Apophis X'! Clear your mind! Breathe easily! The best potion produced in this era! Apophis X! You can get it at your local pharmacy!]
"Is it a magic vision?"
"You know?"
"If you want to know about such next-generation technology, you can't."
It is not difficult to record and visualize with magic.
Jamie used that method a lot when she first practiced swords. However, making it an artifact was a very difficult technique.
All magic basically targets the caster himself. Because of that, even if the record was videotaped, only you could see it.
It was sending the log to the screen for everyone to see.
"I do not know the detailed technique, but it is said that hundreds of very thinly made magic crystals are reflected and projected onto the core magic crystals containing the records. I don't know how that's going to work, but it's a technology that's developing rapidly these days.
"Hey. It is truly magical."
"There are so many great things about it. Isn't it the first time you've seen Arttrain?
It seems that the wagon, which passed quickly overhead, was called the 'Atrane'.
As he said, it was pretty strange for Jamie too.
At a speed that was hard to compare with horses, the iron wire covered the entire magical world, so he could go anywhere in no time.
Much more efficient than expensive warp devices.
"I wish it could be installed in Highs."
"The magic technology of the magical world is growing very rapidly. In fact, some have already been installed in the capital."
"It's not like the magic kingdom."
"There is nothing we are inferior to the Magic Kingdom except the number of people."
Like that said, the magic world of the Seldam Kingdom was not far behind compared to the Magic Kingdom.
"Anyway, Confucius is playing around, looking around."
Yeah?
"I have to say that I have been there. I have something to say about Confucius."
"Can't I just follow along?"
"It'll be over soon, so don't whine and take this."
Siegfried said, handing Jamie ten silver.
"I know wherever I am, so don't worry and go around. Security in the magical world is good, so don't worry. Oh, can I not worry about that?"
A high-ranking wizard who has reached class 6, and his swordsmanship skills are improving day by day, if an enemy appears that threatens Jamie Welton, the entire magic world may be in danger soon.
With that thought in mind, I thought that city security wouldn't really matter to Jamie.
I know.
See you later.
Siegfried said so and disappeared.
Jamie, who was left alone, looked around, looking at the silver 10 in her hand. I was told to take a look, but I don't know where to start.
Jamie started walking as far as the footsteps could go.
* * *
"Busy, busy!"
A young girl with azure hair in two parts is busily running around.
The girl's name is Anne Meyer. He is 10 years old this year, and he is currently a student studying magic in the magical world.
The reason Anne is so busy running around is because today is the day of the entrance ceremony for the Phoenix Academy where she is studying.
I was returning to the academy with the necessary supplies at the request of the teacher in charge.
"Have ARMY and your parents arrived?"
Ami, her younger brother, is entering the Phoenix Academy as a freshman at the age of 8.
The Meyer family has produced wizards graduating from Phoenix Academy from generation to generation.
It wasn't a great wizarding family, but it had a place in the magic world.
"When will Elder Siegfried come?"
Siegfried, one of the Eight Elders of the Magic World.
As the director of the Phoenix Academy, he was, at least in his heart, Anne's magic teacher.
Siegfried had no intention of making a disciple, but Anne was sure to become his disciple.
It's a dream I've had since I entered the magic world two years ago.
"I hope you come back soon."
I'm itching to show you my new magic. It must be wonderful magic, and how did you come up with the idea of creating such a wonderful magic?
-Anne, you are a genius. I like genius very much.
- Master... I like the master too.
- Haha, Anne. Shall we study magic together?
- I like anything. If only I could be by your side... .
-Ann.
- Master... .
Silky blonde fluttering on that handsome face.
"Master ."
Hugging my lips like this... .
It was around the time Anne was in a strange pose, holding her in her arms with a strange delusion.
Awakened from her delusion, a young boy walking around with a stupid (?) face caught her eye.
It was a face I had never seen before, with emerald hair and eyes.
'You look like my age?'
He looked around and walked around like a lost lamb, as if he had come here for the first time.
Today is the day of the Phoenix Academy entrance ceremony.
And the boy who seems to be here for the first time today.
A few puzzles were put together in Anne's head, and an exclamation mark appeared above her head.
"There you!"
Anne ran to the boy with the mysterious hair color in a hurry. The boy didn't know he was calling, so he ignored her and continued to watch.
Hey!
Anne grabbed his wrist.
At that moment, Anne had a strange experience.
It was like someone blowing a breath on the nape of his neck, or as if he was in front of a scary animal.
Although she had not experienced it a few times, Anne was unable to speak in a situation that would remain in her memory clearly.
The boy looked at Anne like that and said.
"Is there anything I can do?"
uh?
Anne didn't know how to answer that question, so she hesitated and then came to her senses.
Ah! Are you a freshman at Phoenix Academy?"
"What academy?"
Phoenix! Now is not the time! There is not much time left until the entrance ceremony. You seem lost, I'll take you!
"No, I ."
let's hurry! late!
"Huh? No, hey!"
Without even listening to the boy, Anne started running towards the Phoenix Academy.
Then he shook his head, recalling the strange sensation he had just felt.
'It must be an illusion.'
He must have been exhausted from running too many errands in connection with the entrance ceremony in the last few days. I'm sure you'll be fine after a good night's sleep today.
Ann thought so and led the boy to the Phoenix Academy.
* * *
Jamie was a little perplexed by the sudden situation.
I hate to listen to Siegfried directly, but I was just walking around and looking around.
However, a cute-looking girl with light blue hair suddenly came up to her and grabbed her.
It almost caused me to die without realizing it, but as soon as I checked the opponent, I killed him, so I avoided catching a child.
'But where are you taking me?'
It seems that there is a Phoenix Academy entrance ceremony and they take her there, but Jamie had no idea what Phoenix Academy was.
It was clear that the girl was clearly misunderstanding something now, but there was nothing to do anyway, so she was silently following along.
"I'm almost there!"
The girl turned around and said in a bright voice.
As she said, not far away, a magnificent building and a large site began to appear.
There was a large door blocking the way to it, but it seemed to have a strong security magic on it, as it felt a lot of magical power.
"Mister Guard! I'm here!"
Anne, standing in front of the door, spoke to the door, and a small magic circle was drawn on the door, and a voice came out.
- Oh, this is Anne. Have you finished the errands?
Yeah! And I brought in a lost freshman."
-haha. Because we, Anne, need to know. please open it soon
The girl's name seemed to be Anne.
Seeing that the guard's voice towards her was soft, I didn't know it, but it seemed like she was loved quite a bit.
Soon the door opened, revealing a view of the interior.
Five.
"Isn't it pretty?"
After Jamie's small admiration, Anne asked in a proud voice.
There was a strong sense of belonging.
"It's pretty."
right? Come on in."
Anne took Jamie's hand again.
The Phoenix Academy was larger than I had imagined.
The green lawn, the large brown brick building and the silver bell hanging on the top gave the whole place an old-fashioned feel.
"You have to go inside the Amel Pavilion, where the entrance ceremony is held."
"Amel? Amell Fast?"
right. A person who served as a court wizard during the early dynasty. He is the first dean and founder of the Phoenix Academy."
like that.
"Anyway, you can keep going that way."
"But I ."
"Then I'm busy!"
The hot-blooded girl quickly disappeared without listening to Jamie about what was urgent.
Jamie scratched the back of his head and looked around.
Little children, holding their parents' hands, looked anxiously or excitedly towards the direction Anne had pointed out.
They all seemed to be freshmen here.
Hmm.
There was nothing to do anyway, so Jamie followed them and walked with them.
The Amel Pavilion was large enough to be recognized at a glance even from a distance.
A large portrait of a person who looks like Amello was hung at the top, and while the magic world is a futuristic city, this place has a very old-fashioned feel.
When we entered the Amel Pavilion, a large crowd had gathered.
There seemed to be about 200 people, and nearly half of them were freshmen at the Phoenix Academy.
"It's crowded."
It was the first time since the Gehena auction house that there were so many people.
By the time Jamie was walking around, looking around.
you you!
I heard someone's voice from behind.
A voice I heard somewhere.
When Jamie turned around, there was a boy with impressive red hair standing there.
a familiar face. The boy pointed at Jamie and shouted.
"Hey, Jamie Welton! Why are you here?!"
Jamie responded to the boy's reaction.
"Who are you?"
Familiar, but sorry to the boy, Jamie couldn't remember who he was.
At those words, Count Simon's second son, Lennon Simon, was stunned.
