Leon Revolucion

The Man in the Black Hat – Leon Revolucion hates the magical society.

Leon’s grandmother was someone who was considered a witch.

When he first read my grandmother’s memoirs, he was shocked by what was written in them.

Why was his grandmother cast out of society as a witch – it was because of her research.

My grandmother was a researcher in witchcraft.

In the first place, witchcraft is a theory that was the basis for magical engineering, not a dangerous idea.

It is also said that his grandmother was a good person.

She was called a witch and was not a person to be feared by society.

His grandmother was merely trying to spread her knowledge of witchcraft for the good of the world.

If magic spreads, even ordinary people with little magic power can enjoy its benefits.

Extremely benevolent, she put the progress of humanity before her own interests.

Had this society been healthy, her noble cause would have been celebrated.

However, in a society of magical supremacy, her ideas were heretical.

Magic supremacy is a society where those who can use magic are always favored.

That’s how it has developed.

Vested interests were sweet and hard to let go of, and for those at the top of the magical supremacy ladder, witchcraft was nothing but a hindrance.

They abhorred technology that threatened their own superiority.

Of course, that wasn’t the only reason his grandmother was considered dangerous.

The wizards told her to quit her studies of magic, and she obeyed at one point.

Even in such a situation, there were those who realized the usefulness of magic and planned to use it.

That was the king at the time.

The king was over 70 years old and knew that he was dying.

Believing in the possibility of magic, he ordered her to proceed with her research into immortality, which was considered forbidden.

Unable to refuse the king’s orders, she began researching immortality.

However, in the midst of her research into immortality, the king collapsed.

If it were known that the royal family was involved in the research of immortality, it would be a matter of national prestige.

His grandmother’s magic was considered dangerous, and at the same time she was persecuted by society and stigmatized as a [witch].

My grandmother, who was treated as a disaster-level criminal, was chased out of the country and allegedly committed suicide just before she was caught.

Finally, the grandmother entrusted her daughter with a vindictive memoir.

Then the months go by and Leon is born.

Since Leon was born, he has been forced to live a life that has never seen the light of day until now.

It’s a life where your very existence is denied just because you have the blood of a witch.

From the moment Leon was born, he was labeled a sociopath.

So it was no surprise that he, and House Revolucion, hated the magicians society.

They have been working behind the scenes to make the Revolution Revolucion a reality, using their vindictive memoirs as the Bible.

And now.

I’m ready to get everything back to normal and bring my grandmother back to life.

Leon exclaims with an expression of uncontrollable excitement.

“Today, on this day, it all reverts!”

Leon’s voice echoed well in the high-ceilinged cave.

There is a stone altar with candle lamps around it, illuminating it faintly in red.

On the altar, Natalie is bound in chains by a goose.

The chain is inscribed with a jutsu, which interferes with the target person’s magical power and prevents them from activating their magic.

A stone statue of a woman over two meters tall stands at the back of the altar.

The stone statue is smiling down at Natalie, both palms stacked upward.

The entrance had a double-door black lacquered door, which was now closed.

From the entrance to the altar, a path made of cobblestones leads to the altar.

On both sides of the road, there is darkness with no bottom in sight.

Natalie is awakened by Leon’s cries.

Then Leon turned his attention to Natalie.

“Good morning.”

Leon turns from his elated mood and greets her with a calm expression.

Natalie checks the situation, trying to control her dizziness.

‘I’m being held in a completely unknown place, and there’s a suspicious man in front of me.

The restraints are not going to be released, although I move my arms in a messy manner.’

Furthermore, she judged that she could not control her magic power well and would not be able to escape easily.

Under normal circumstances, Natalie would have panicked, but she kept a cool head.

The first thing she needs to do is check the situation.

But asking the man in front of her about it didn’t seem like it would turn things around.

Before that, she decided to find out what Leon was up to.

Natalie asks Leon, having instantly gotten that far in her thoughts.

“What are you going to do ……”

Leon raised an eyebrow and then clapped his hands.

“It’s wonderful, your calmness in this situation, I knew I made the right choice, you’re the perfect vessel for them.”

Leon mumbles and then answers Natalie’s question.

“I’m going to make the world right again, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

“What would be the right state of affairs?”

Natalie tries to buy some time by continuing the conversation.

Realizing that she couldn’t escape alone, she decided to wait for the others to help her.

The image of Owen appears in Natalie’s mind.

‘I have such faint hopes that he might be able to come and help me.’

“Don’t you think there’s something wrong with our society?”

“That’s a very vague question, and one I can’t answer.”

“It’s a magical society where only a few wizards are treated well, and people are supposed to be equal, don’t you think?”

“I’m surprised the kidnapper would appeal to equality, so what, because it’s not equal, you hate, envy, and kidnap someone from House Alderath?”

“No, not for that reason.”

Leon shook his head cover.

“I’m sure you’ve heard of it, but I don’t think it’s normal for a society to discriminate on the basis of magical talent alone, and to end up with incompetents gobbling up the profits.”

There is a certain amount of rightness in Leon’s argument.

Natalie has also thought about equality.

She had been taught many times by her father, Ralph Alderath, about the value of people.

As the eldest daughter of the Alderath family – the dukes who reign at the pinnacle of magical society – her life is heavy.

With her talent, position and responsibility, Natalie is arguably more valuable than the common man.

She understands that, and that’s why she said.

“Equality is an ideal.”

Leon frowned in response to Natalie’s words.
