CH 139

: Elder (3)

No one spoke to Jamie's greeting.

This time, there was only a variety of reactions. Among them, the person who caught Jamie's attention was the middle-aged man sitting third from the left.

'Oh, isn't that a bad reaction?'

Perhaps it was uncomfortable to plant, and the corners of his mouth fell down beyond his face. His ears were slightly red, and he looked a little angry.

He was like that from the first time I saw him.

Jamie knew very well why she looked that way, even though she didn't have a face-to-face meeting.

'complex.'

It was a characteristic that many wizards had in common.

Basically, wizards have a strong self-esteem, and the higher their skills, the greater their self-love.

What's more, if you were a wizard who took on the position of elder in the magic world, you would be proud of it.

However, as he confirmed with his own eyes that the kid he saw for the first time was superior to his own, it was obvious what kind of feelings he would feel.

'However Among them, there is no one who is definitely inferior to me except that man.'

The decadent woman in the sixth seat was similar, but she was definitely higher than Jamie.

If there is a small opportunity, he will quickly establish his magical subjectivity and rise to the 7th class.

'It was nice to see you.'

Jamie smiled inwardly, examining the faces of the elders.

Then his eyes met with the Marquis Linmer.

Last spring, I met him for the first time at home. I thought it was an intruder, but it turned out that I was quite surprised to find out that he was an archmage of the kingdom.

In addition to that, I received a present, so it was the 'whole body breathing method' that was responsible for supplying Jamie's mana.

Of course, I improved it according to my taste, and now it boasts higher efficiency than the original.

Seeing this again made me feel good.

As if it was the same for Rinmer, he smiled and nodded his head.

"Long time no see, Jamie."

Rinmer was the first to speak.

They must have made eye contact, and they seemed to enjoy using the whole-body breathing method that he delivered to me very nicely.

"I haven't seen you in a long time. Thanks to you, I learned a good breathing technique. I thought I should say hello sometime, but this is how I see you."

At those words, the other elders looked at Rinmer with fearful eyes.

Linmer, who had never thought that Jamie would bring up the whole body breathing technique, was sweating profusely and coughing in vain at the gaze of the elders.

"Hmmm. You're stronger than before. It will be difficult to treat you like I used to."

When he first met Linmer, Jamie had nothing to do with his magic.

It won't be much different now though.

Linmer's eyes then turned to Jamie's waist.

I know what that sword is. It was the sword that Earl Welton wore when he was young, the scud containing the power of acceleration.

'I heard you learned the sword .'

From what I heard, he was also very talented.

He was concerned at first, but it seemed he had underestimated the genius too much.

He even received the stigmata of the Pyro Goddess, so if he covers all complexities, he won't be able to treat him as playfully as before.

"I'll ask you for Dalian next time."

haha.

huh. The wizard is Dalian. You're talking vulgar things like bodybuilders do.

Then Serpent, the third elder, joined the conversation in a sarcastic tone.

Linmer frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"We wizards are kind of scholars. Those who use their heads. The position is different from the ones that entangle their bodies and increase their skills... ."

"I want you to be careful with your words."

As Serpent spat out my thoughts, Jamie, who didn't hear me, cut his words and continued.

"Among those who practice using that body, my father is also there. Me too."

Serpent opened his eyes slightly startled at those words, then shook his head while half-playing.

"Hey, I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding.

"Then I'm glad. I don't know what to say when I'm young, but I don't think the elder's expression is very luxurious."

"Fuck!"

"Puh ha ha ha!"

At Jamie's prompt, Siegfried and Adelhard couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Serpent's face was red, but he couldn't make any excuses. I'm just glad it went through like this.

That's right, because Count Welton could have been the subject of insults.

Offen, the head of the same royal sect, looked at Serpent pathetic and said to Jamie.

"I don't want this friend to care because he didn't mean it in a bad way either."

Jamie looked at Offen.

The old man in the first seat. A pure white beard, hair, eyebrows, and a kind face even looked innocent.

The most famous wizard in the Kingdom of Seldam. Together with the Marquis Linmer, the only 8th-class Archmage and the King's teacher.

And.

'The Wizard of Heaven, Offen Ginger.'

The nickname "sky" was given because it freely controls all weather conditions.

I thought that I would really like to see what kind of magic he wields when he meets him.

Oppenn continued.

Anyway. It's too late to say goodbye. This is Offen Ginger, the first elder in the magical world. Thank you for responding to our request, 'Young Wizard' friend."

However, at the next words, Jamie had no choice but to harden her expression.

It was the same with Oppen and the elders in opposition, especially Siegfried's expression.

It's because of the power he gave to the last word 'young wizard'.

Unless it's a nerd, there's no one here who doesn't know what it means.

Siegfried looked at Offen and said.

"I think it would be rude to say that I was just a friend of a young wizard."

Ah. Hahaha. The old man made a mistake. I'm sorry about this, Jamie-kun. He's a class 6 wizard, but he's been treated like a child. Sorry.

When his intentions were obvious, he casually changed his stance, and Siegfried gave a tired expression.

Offen was such a person.

A human being who is uncomfortable, but demeans others with words that do not cross the line.

A person who ignores it when someone points it out.

It was different from arrogance.

In the magic world, there were many wizards who were uncomfortable with Offen's attitude.

haha. Since we met like this, let's do well in the future.

"I wish I could."

Jamie answered and looked at Oppen.

'This guy was just trying to confirm the attitude of the others with what he said.'

At first glance, it sounded like he was trying to undermine his position, but Jamie thought differently.

By saying that, Offen would have tried to ascertain how many agreed with his words and how many showed dislike.

'I'm not sure what the intention was.'

Perhaps it is part of politics.

A person like Offen is difficult to deal with. Because it is difficult to understand.

I thought it looked like a snake.

'Are you an ally or an enemy? You'll find out if you watch a little more.'

Jamie closed his thoughts and returned to focus on the elders.

magneton. A new member of the family is here, so let's start with a brighter atmosphere! Didn't everyone wait for Jamie-kun?

Luke clapped his hands to reverse the mood and focused his attention.

Then he asked everyone with his characteristic playful face.

"So, you want to hear what Jamie-kun's first impression was?"

'Five Elder Luke Pretzel. Are you the head of the quality?'

Jamie thought as he looked at Luke trying to lighten the mood.

'That guy is similar to Offen.'

The method is different, but as a result, by creating such a space, the evaluation of other elders can be brought out of their mouths.

But it's one number below Oppen.

If it was Oppen, I wouldn't have done it so openly.

The data is passed on to the opposing forces as well, so they are doing good things to the enemy for their own good.

"Shall I tell you first?"

Luke smiles and induces a response.

However, Adelhardt, the woman sitting next to him, smirked and pulled his ear.

"Aww! Adele, why are you here?"

"Shut up and just be there."

Adelhardt glanced at Offen, then glared at Luke fiercely.

'You have a good colleague.'

If Adelhardt had noticed Luke's mistake and hadn't stopped him quickly, he would have done only the good things.

On the other hand, what about the Marquis Linmer, the head of the nobility?

' You don't seem to have any idea.'

Unlike the royalist and Equality, which fought nerves, the nobles did not show much of an appearance.

I've heard that the Marquis Linmer isn't very active, but I didn't expect it to be this much.

The same was true of 4th Elder Raymon Floris Shan. He didn't open his mouth from the beginning until now, and he just looked at Jamie with curious eyes all the time.

Siegfried said as Luke and Adelhard were arguing.

"More than that, when will the house and laboratory for Confucius Jamie be provided?"

"Hey, Siegfried. Why are you acting like a guardian?"

When Adelhardt tilted his head and asked a question, Siegfried responded with a grin.

"If you don't like it, ask Earl Welton."

"You've grown so much, little one?"

"I was taller than you since I was little."

"Let's try this after a long time?"

'It's bloody.'

As Adelhardt acted as if he was running into Siegfried with a feeble life, Siegfried stood arrogantly as if to come in anytime.

Looking at it, Jamie realized that it wasn't the magic world he had envisioned.

I knew the Presbyterian Church would have a serious political battle, but I didn't know it would be such an ignorant place.

"Both of you stop."

Cheeky-

Offen looked at Siegfried and Adelhard with cold eyes.

"Isn't that disrespectful to Jamie-kun?"

" Shit."

Adelhard died and sat down.

Siegfried also snorted and turned his head.

'What just happened?'

And Jamie got goosebumps at the momentum flowing from Offen.

Although it was only for a moment, Offen exuded a life that was difficult to express in the current state.

'It was a Fear.'

There are many ways to take control of the opponent's mind, but the most advanced among them was peer.

It is the main skill of dragons, and the product of monsters that surpass even superhumans.

It was the Pier that Oppen had just seen.

'It's not perfect.'

I hope you've learned the pier.

Is it true that he is said to be one of the top magicians in the kingdom?

At that level, even against the Sword Master, he would not bow down.

"Everyone calm down."

Oppen returned with a benevolent face as if he had ever done so.

"Jamie-kun's house and research institute are important. However The lab is not something you can just give to what you want to give."

"Confucius is a sixth-class wizard."

"If you look at the state, it is possible enough, but it is true that some degree of performance is required. Isn't everyone like that?

The other elders looked long and worried at Offen's question, but everyone nodded.

The private lab can be used by wizards of class 5 or higher. Jamie was well-qualified, but had just entered the position.

"Are you saying that verification is necessary?"

"That's right, Jamie-kun."

"Can I show you class 6 magic?"

"The field itself is irrelevant. This is to see how well Jamie-kun will adapt to the world of magic."

At the word adaptation, Jamie frowned.

What the hell are you trying to say?

When Jamie saw Offen, he grinned.

"Today is the entrance ceremony for Phoenix Academy. right? Principal Siegfried."

"Ugh."

When he suddenly stabbed, Siegfried showed displeasure.

Though he didn't say it out loud, Offen was reprimanding Siegfried for almost abandoning his duties.

That's right. But why all of a sudden... ."

Offen said, bringing his interlaced hands under his chin.

"Would you like to study there for about a month?"

At those words, both Jamie and Siegfried frowned.
