chapter 17
Madou Kingdom Rom.
A proud country that enshrines the great great mage King Karst as its founding ancestor.
Everyone, from royalty to ordinary citizens, has respect for the ancestors.
Is that why?
All generations of royalty in this country were highly gifted in relation to magic.
“Prince Hector 1 is only 17 years old, but you said he was a third-class wizard, right?”
“yes. They even say that you can become a 4th class before you turn 20. I heard that all the magic teachers who teach it stick out their tongues.”
“Huh… . With the succession so strong, His Highness must be happy every day.”
1 Prince Hector.
The eldest son of the current King of Biden, and the pillar of the next generation who will lead the kingdom of Rome.
Talent is talent, personality is personality. Growing up right without any deficiency, he was getting a good impression from most nobles.
“But actually, Prince Hector isn’t the only one who excels in this generation.”
“right. Even Prince Kizan, who is now the 7th prince, became the 1st class 10 years ago.”
“What about Princess Alice? In fact, according to his age, he is more amazing.”
Hector, Kizan and Elise.
They are called the geniuses of this generation, and they were talented people with a promising future 20 years from now.
When they grew up, the dominant opinion was that they would become the best of their generation.
Surely not too long ago, everyone said that.
However, the evaluation has changed slightly in the past month.
“By the way… To think that a monster like Prince Leo would be born… .”
“Uh huh. Look. No matter how much we are together What is a monster to the prince? monster.”
“no. That’s right. It was amazing just to feel mana at the age of 7, but it wasn’t long before I became a first-class wizard. To be honest, I would have snorted if it hadn’t been for the Marquis Merverde himself.”
“Hmm… . That’s right.”
The nobles who were talking nodded.
The youngest prince, Leo.
Now, the name of a child who was only 7 years old was shaking the whole palace.
“To be honest… If we keep going as it is, wouldn’t we be able to jump far beyond Prince Hector’s age?”
“Yes. this man you don’t know that The higher the rank, the more difficult it is to develop magic. Even God doesn’t know what wall will be blocked before that.”
“but. You are right.”
When I was young, there were many geniuses who took all sorts of modifiers.
Right now, even if you look only at the prominent wizards on the continent, it was like that.
If not as much as Leo, their childhood was also accompanied by all sorts of praise.
However, everyone fell down and stagnated in the middle, and only a few people maintained their genius until the end.
Even those very few geniuses reached the highest level at the 6th rank.
Beyond that, there was only one mage on the continent who had reached the 7th rank, the Imperial Court Mage.
“I hope the great wizard will appear again in our kingdom.”
“right. Then I should be able to flatten the noses of those imperial bastards.”
* * *
Kizan had such great talent that the nobility recognized him.
He has a flawed personality for being a child and a little arrogant, but his skills are outstanding.
That was Kizan.
But Kizan, who was like that, changed a little after meeting Leo.
‘more… I have to work harder.’
His younger brother, Leo, who is two years younger than himself.
People praised him as a genius, so that made him jealous.
So I went to take care of it lightly, but rather, I was hurt by Leo.
I couldn’t tell you where to go.
His magic was destroyed by his younger brother, who was 2 years older than him, and he almost died.
-this. Are you okay, Kizan?
When his leg broke from being almost hit by an arrow of light, Leo stood up with a smile.
But Kizan could not be forgotten.
Those eyes that shone coldly.
It was as if he was saying that if he was blacker in the future, he would pierce the head with that arrow this time.
‘no… Let’s not think… Let’s not think… .’
Kizan shook his head.
Memories of that time often appear as nightmares to this day.
Every time that happened, Kizan would wake up drenched in sweat.
It was difficult to fall asleep again.
So, from then on, Kizan devoted himself to magic training.
‘I’ll try harder… I have to make sure it doesn’t happen again.’
The terrifying image of Leo is clearly embedded in his head.
To shake it off, you need to develop your skills.
I should be able to stand up in front of Leo with magic, but it seemed that this trauma would disappear.
So Kizan tried.
There is a saying that genius is lazy. It was a perfect fit for the original Kizan.
He had a pretty good talent, so he quickly became stronger with a certain amount of effort.
So, quite a few people arrogantly looked down on me, and my personality grew angular.
But recently it has completely changed.
Early in the morning, before the sunrise, Kizan got up and meditated.
He checked the realm of magic he had learned on his own, and made an effort to become more diligent.
Magic is the science of talent.
Kizan had enough of that talent.
For the past few weeks, I have been focusing on magic without doing anything else.
Same today.
Kkokdu He had been immersed in magic research since dawn.
That was the moment.
“… … !”
A lightning-like realization penetrated Kizan’s body.
It felt as if the realization of magic that had been worrying for so long was being released all at once.
‘I see! This is how it connects… !’
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Joy arose.
It was so simple, but I was lost because I didn’t know this until now!
In an instant, mana rose from Kizan’s body.
Two streams of mana twisted and twirled above his head as if blessing them.
Proof that you have become a 2nd class wizard.
After a while, Kizan opened his eyes.
There was confidence in his eyes.
“If this… .”
Kizan clenched his fists.
A goal echoed in his mind.
If I meet Leo in class tomorrow, I will build up my prestige as an older brother again!
* * *
After running away from home and conducting a sewer exploration case.
Leo and Ellis became very close.
“Hey Leo. Can’t we play while doing something other than this?”
“sister. Let’s study magic.”
“But studying is boring.”
Elise pursed her lips and whined.
She came to Leo every day.
Together, they explored the sewers, obtained special magic, and broke through to the brink of death.
It was the first time in young Alice’s life that an event as big as this had occurred.
Naturally, intimacy with Leo was bound to increase significantly.
Originally, among the royal family, Alice, Kizan, and Leo were the only ones her age, but Kizan did not like her very much because of his unique personality.
At that time, Leo and I went through various things, so we quickly became close.
But it wasn’t without complaints.
His younger brother was too serious a schoolboy.
“Ah~~ Let’s play again like last time~~!”
“no. If you play like that every day, when will you study magic?”
“You’re doing it right now! What do you say when you study every day?”
It was fun when I came to see Leo.
It reminded me of the thrilling adventure at that time, and I wanted to go through a thrilling daily life once again.
Although I was really scared when I was almost killed by that bad guy (Nerval), in hindsight, it was remembered as a thrilling crisis.
Ellis insisted on going through such a lively daily life again.
However, Leo was adamant.
“You can do that even when you are an adult. You should concentrate on studying magic now.”
“Being an adult is too late! You’re late!”
Alice sighed.
Leo let out a sigh.
I’ve never raised a child, but I wondered if it would be like this if I did.
“Okay. Then, when my sister can do this, I will play like that again.”
Then, Leo raised his hand.
Mana particles floated up from above, and created a straight line as they ran through the air.
Several straight lines were drawn and Leo memorized a spell.
“Ice Arrow.”
Great! and a chill gathered in his hands.
After a while, three arrows made of pure white ice were created.
The arrow fluttered around the room and moved.
Alice’s eyes lit up.
“Wow! i know this! Isn’t this second-class magic?”
“yes. right.”
“Oh my gosh. Leo, since when were you able to use second-class magic?”
Alice opened her eyes wide.
The fact that he became a first-class wizard not too long ago was news that would stir up the palace.
Now you’re a second-class wizard.
Leo shrugged and replied.
“A while ago. But this is nothing. Will my sister be able to do it soon?”
“really? However, Marquis Merverde said that becoming a second-class would be possible only after much longer training in the future… .”
Even though she was 8 years old, she had been receiving various educations, so she knew how ridiculous Leo’s state was.
However, Leo shook his head.
“no. It’s not as difficult as you think. look at me you make it so easy Will my sister be there soon too?”
“really?”
“of course. So let’s try together. I will help you. sister. And when my sister becomes second-class, let’s have fun again like before.”
Alice’s eyes lit up.
According to common sense, it wouldn’t be strange to move from the 1st class to the 2nd class, even if it took several years.
I definitely learned that way, and I thought so myself.
But Leo in front of him is saying that’s not the case.
It is Alice who has gone through the past and her trust in Leo has peaked.
Become a Leo
Such faith filled my heart.
“Okay! I will work hard, so do I have to keep my promise to go out with you again?”
“Sure.”
Leo chuckled.
He was smiling as if Alice was doing something cute.
And it wasn’t even empty words.
‘If it’s Alice, it’ll probably work.’
Currently, she is 8 years old.
It hadn’t been long since he had reached the first rank.
However, Leo was aware of Elise’s talent, who would be called the ‘Fire Witch’ in the future.
If it’s her, there’s nothing strange about her growing up with just a little chance.
And that opportunity, Leo himself had provided it some time ago.
‘Because Elise, like me, also obtained arcane magic from the ruins of Karst the Great.’
[Fire-type Arcane Magic – Phoenix’s Judgment]
Although not as good as Leo’s ‘Frost Breath’, it is the highest level of arcane magic.
In addition, Leo, a genius outside the standard, was guiding her by her side.
Great talent, good magic, great teacher. The triplex fit perfectly.
“sister. It’s more convenient this way than unfolding the formula like that. Take a good look.”
That’s how Leo and Elise’s tutoring classes took place every day.
and not long after
“All right, all right! Kyaaak-!!”
Elise smiled broadly and ran around.
– Hurray.
A blazing arrow was created above Elise’s hand.
2nd Class Magic – Fire Arrow.
It was proof that she also became a second-class wizard.
* * *
next day.
It was class time taught by the Marquis of Merverde.
Leo and Elise met while walking down the hallway, and together they came to the room where the class was to be held.
“sister. did you sleep well?”
“no. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all.”
“Why?”
“I couldn’t sleep at all because I thought about bragging to Marquis Merverd that I became a second-class wizard today.”
Elise looked at Leo with bright eyes.
Leo chuckled.
“Congratulations again.”
“lol. no. It’s all thanks to you. Should I keep my promise instead?”
“Sure. Let’s take another chance soon and go play, noona.”
“Yes! I’m really looking forward to it!”
Leo chuckled.
‘I thought I’d have to go out of the palace once again soon. That’s good.’
With the breath of frost successfully obtained, it’s time to go get the next important thing.
In such a situation, Alice, who became a second-class wizard, would be of great help in one way or another.
‘Even because I have good stamina, it’s probably more like that.’
It’s really comforting to have someone to take care of this trashy body.
“ah. What will the Marquis say if I show that I have become second-class?”
“Maybe I’ll be surprised with my eyes wide open?”
“Is that right? And if it’s possible, I’d like to brag about it to my dad as well.”
“Try it. Maybe your father will like it.”
The two of them came to the room where the class was going on, chatting so loudly.
Kizan was there first.
“Whoops. did you come brothers and sisters.”
Lately, it was Kizan who had always been paying attention to Leo and rushing over just in time for Marquis Merverde to come.
But today was different.
Kizan looked at Leo with his eyes wide open.
“Hey Leo. You came to class later than your brother!”
Kizan reached level 2 last night.
And then I made a promise.
-If I see Leo tomorrow, I’ll have to properly show my dignity as an older brother!
With that thought in mind, I looked at Leo and widened my eyes.
But… .
“yes. You came early, Kizan-hyung?”
Leo grinned.
Between the eyes that curved like a crescent moon, the eyes seemed to shine coldly.
In an instant, goose bumps ran down Kizan’s spine.
‘… … ?’
My instincts signaled that something was wrong.
I felt like I was going to get in trouble if I messed around here.
He hastily followed the call of instinct.
“uh… uh. Oh, I woke up a little early today… .”
“I see. sorry I am late. I’ll come a little earlier next time.”
“Oh, no. that that… Things like that happen, too. what. hahahaha… .”
Kizan took his eyes off Leo and carefully sat back down.
‘This isn’t it… .’
