Chapter 657

- Episode 24 of the side

story The story he told after that is something I can't help but feel bittersweet while listening to my heart.

in short.

His daughter embraced magic and entered the tower.

[At one time, someone said that the child had the ability to learn magic.]

He praised the child for his talent and invited him to join the Mage Tower and become his disciple.

But even now, wizards are still like floating clouds in the sky. Of course I was hesitant. The child consulted with his father.

[I am... ... After thinking about it, why don't you nurture that talent in Senilla? I said.]

A tone of deep regret.

[...] ... That shouldn't have happened.]

He is just a hunter.

There isn't much he can do for his daughter.

But if you become a wizard... ... Wouldn't it be great if you had talent and expressed your will?

With such a feeling, I supported the child's path.

[That's how I let go... ... . and... ... .]

And the only thing that came back two years later was a letter announcing the child's death.

[I couldn't even see the remains. I begged the Tower, but they ignored it.]

Even for two years, the bodies of those who have been taught by the Tower cannot be shown to outsiders. The person who made such a claim and encouraged her daughter to become a disciple at that time seemed to have incinerated her body.

Of course you get angry. However, if the daughter was also prepared for something, she couldn't help but be sad.

Thinking so, he barely endured it.

but... ... .

[It was only recently that I learned the truth.]

And the year before last. A wizard who was in the tower at the time came to him and bowed his head to tell him all the truth.

[Against that child... ... He said he did an experiment he couldn't talk about... ... .]

I held out my hand to Dia to ask for the parchment. Dia also held it out without a word.

I read it. Certainly, there is a sense of incongruity in the nuances. It feels like a well-crafted document.

There is an unnaturalness intentionally decorated to hide something.

‘It's not like he's telling lies.'

[at last... ... The one who killed that child is the one who said he was the teacher!]

“So... ... Did you think of something like this?”

[I know. The current tower master nobleman probably doesn't matter. ... ... But what about other than that?] Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

he said. The one with a grudge is the tower itself.

[Can you really say that if you take them in, you won't become like my daughter'?]

“... ... I know your grudge. I understood what you wanted to say. But that doesn't solve it. It’s just a matter of venting your anger.”

[I know. ... ... First of all, my purpose is to publicize this grudge... ... And.]

“Are you his recruit?”

There is nothing to think deeply about. I said that a while ago too.

Arouse awareness by revealing hidden facts from the past. Now that what he said was being heard by the test takers, it must have been that there were no people who were agitated.

And finally, if you pay off your grudge, that will be the end.

know.

... ... I saw a lot of people who gave up like that.

After a while I changed the settings of the communication port. For once, don't hear what I'm saying.

“... ... Dia. Who is the wizard I spoke of?”

“I hurriedly looked up the list, but... ...

Dia was speechless.

“... ... Around the time I was taking over, it seems that he left the tower for a sudden reason.”

“ah. It bounced.”

It's obvious. Since there are many kangies and he thinks that there will be no one to see them in the future, he must have run away right away.

it's been annoying

“I was still tracking you.”

“Wouldn’t it be impossible to catch him right away?”

Dia calmly shook her head. It's not like there isn't a team tracking down the escaped wizard. Even if all of them were available, it would be practically impossible.

“I don’t think you’ll understand even if I explain it.”

“... ... Unfortunately. The safety of our students is our priority.”

“okay.”

Understanding their feelings and dealing with them calmly would be two different things.

“If we suppress it with hardline means, would it be possible?”

“... ... It is possible.”

Other skilled wizards are already waiting. Dia would also want to intervene directly.

If he's in a bad mood, he interrupts without further discussion.

“If it seems dangerous, do it... ... . I'm sorry, but I can't watch it.

of course... ...

“yes. I won't kill you.”

It's not really sympathetic. There are things I want to know. It is best to subdue it for further processing.

“First of all, let’s suppress it... ...

hmm'?”

Even while discussing policy, I did not take my eyes off the crystal ball.

There was something I saw in my eyes.

“... ... Mr. Arell?”

“Wait a minute. Let's watch.”

Dia gives an incomprehensible look.

“I know. but... ... It seems there is a guy who is determined to move ahead of us.”

I continued to watch and shrugged.

“For now, let’s watch what that kid does.”

Kelgin looks up at the ceiling and tells Arell Ernesia his purpose and grudge.

... ... Of course, the test takers here were listening, and they all looked puzzled.

Not much is known about the tower.

“Every joint, every muscle, were all sealed off. Please surrender quietly.”

The one who quietly muttered was Dia, the current manager of the Ernesiama Tower.

As much as I confidently said that I could jump in at any time, I intervened, judging that the situation was bothering me right away.

The wizards who were put in a step later than her are explaining and admonishing the rest of the applicants to calm them down.

“Ha ha... ... It's done somehow... ...

Seldin, on the other hand, was breathing heavily as if he was relieved.

As if you knew it would be like this.

“Is that so... ... ‘Can you see it?' Are you there?”

Arel, who appeared out of nowhere and tapped her on the shoulder, spoke to her.

However, Arel waited calmly with a wry smile at her who did not immediately recognize Arel and tilted her head.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Oh Arell?!”

For a moment, it seems that the sweat all over my body is draining.

Immediately Seldin fell down.

grown-ups did Don't make a mistake in breathing in front of the nobles.

Does your neck run away?

“car??????

“... ... huh? car?”

“Please watch the decapitation!”

“... ... What does he say?”

Allel sighed as if she had a slight headache.

I have no idea what to do.

When I asked her to do so, she finally took the strength off her shoulders as if she was relieved.

“Whew... ... lived... ...

“So I ask again. you. Can you actually see it?”

Arel stared into Seldin's eyes and asked sternly once more.

Seldin hesitated, but eventually confessed the truth.

“yes... ... I see. a little... ... I had that kind of talent.”

A little bit back in time.

Around the time when Joe, including that girl Seldin, passed the Sorceress Classification Test.

“Are you a fairy?”

After hearing my explanation, Dia seemed to be puzzled and asked again.

“huh. fairy.”

I pretended to point at the corners of my eyes and explained the girl's constitution.

“Does it happen sometimes? Those who see what they cannot see by nature and have not received much training, but have high empathy.”

“... ... surely.”

Commonly speaking, innate psychic powers.

Well, in the end, both supernatural powers and magic come from here.

right here

I moved my pointing finger from the eye to the head.

“Magic calculations are also performed here... ... Talents like that come from innate development here.”

“You mean that girl has that kind of talent?”

“It's probably a guess, but in that kid's eyes, the flow of mana in some form will look special.”

And it seemed to read and decipher the nature of mana dwelling in objects and accept the information as one's own.

“It seems to be having a conversation with the object.”

“You will see that too.”

I explained by pointing to the eyes, ears and head in order.

“You read the mana of objects with your eyes and process that information in your brain. Sound is information processed by the brain that is heard as an auditory hallucination.”

After all, it is the brain that is special.

I knew the similar ability, so I recognized it at once.

“... ... Come to think of it, the documents said that the girl went missing for a short time when she was young.”

“Perhaps, for some reason, he opened his eyes to his abilities in the process.”

The so-called disappearance... ... Abduction of fairies. Such a phenomenon.

When the ability is awakened as a side effect of contact with a fairy or an entity equivalent to it.

Is it an acquired mutation, if you have to ask?

If that is a gift, it is a gift.

“what... ... If you have that kind of power, it's usually hard to grow properly.”

“... ... Is it like that?”

Strong talents are often unknown and, above all, have little room to develop properly.

“Most of them are broken.”

It's not because of a lack of ability or any other reason.

It's because of the surrounding environment.

“Maybe that kid was pretty tough?”

“Are you a child who sees or hears things that others don’t know... ... surely.”

Dia also began to think seriously as if she agreed.

“Such talent collapses because of prejudice.”

One of the hardest things to see in a person with the ability is that the probability of getting it is low, but the probability of growing properly is also low.

“Looks like he grew up in a not so bad environment.”

Judging by his behavior and personality, it was enough to guess.

The occasional habit of putting a pebble on your forehead is probably an action to control the brain's congestion.

At first glance, it was a magic stone engraved with some kind of magic formula.

It must have been given to her by a wizard she said helped her as a child.

As she said, it means that there are not only cruel wizards.

“Well, as a talented person, it’s worth using.

... ... It depends on how you raise them.”

“I keep that in mind.” How
