chapter 9
Leo looked at Prince Kizan.
‘Was I too harsh on a child?’
Kizan was looking at himself with fearful eyes.
A future tyrant or whatever, he’s only a nine-year-old now.
In Korea, it is a baby in the second grade of elementary school.
I thought about it a lot last night because I wondered if I was being too harsh on that kid.
So, if you see me today, I tried to approach you first…
‘I didn’t even think to scare you like this.’
Leo sighed as he looked at Kizan, who couldn’t even look at him properly.
I don’t know if this is a good thing or not.
Leo took his eyes off Kizan for a moment.
Now, instead of Kizan, he had to focus on the lessons of Marquis Merverd.
‘Huh… . what. That kid.’
And another little child, Alice, who was sitting next to Kizan, was looking at him strangely.
* * *
“Today, I’m going to show you what the magical steps your servants will take in the future.”
The Marquis of Merverd’s class has begun.
“Your conviction must have told you before. It takes mana, the will to wield it, and imagination to unleash magic.”
Mana, Will, Imagination.
These three are the three axes that make magic work.
If any one of the three is lacking, the magic will not be activated.
If there is not enough mana, magic cannot be activated at all, and if willpower is insufficient, no matter how much mana is gathered, it cannot be transformed into magic.
“Among them, what I want to emphasize today is imagination. Although many people overlook it, imagination is especially important among those three factors to increase the level of magic.”
-match.
The Marquis of Merverde clapped once and spread both hands.
Red, blue, and yellow lights danced over his palms.
“This is a light magic that can be used by the princes and princesses as well.”
3rd Prince Kizan and 4th Princess Alice were already 1st class magicians.
In addition, Leo also became a first-class wizard just yesterday.
All light magic was able to unfold.
“Mana particles. In other words, putting one’s will into one ‘dot’. That’s the magic intro. And the next step is to move those particles to create ‘lines’.”
A line made of light.
Red, blue, and yellow light moved left and right, drawing a trajectory in the air.
Three beams of light flowed ceaselessly through the interior of the room where the class was being held.
The lights stretching in a straight line were beautiful.
The three children Leo, Kizan, and Ellis looked at it with blank eyes.
“Isn’t it beautiful? To be a second-class wizard, you have to be able to imagine this combination of lines.”
Marquis Merverde smiled.
“ruler. Once you can draw dots to create lines, it’s time to move on. Particles of mana do not move only in a straight line.”
-match.
I clapped again.
Then the movement changed.
On the hand of the Marquis of Merverde, the light curved and entangled with each other as if they would collide.
The lights, moving in various trajectories, twisted here and there in the air, then turned and spread out.
The blue light moved and drew a triangle in the air.
The red light went round and round and made a circle.
The yellow light moved in a straight line and formed a square.
“Triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon. If you create shapes with mana, it is possible to perform more complex and higher level magic. From then on, you can call me a third-class wizard.”
-match.
Marquis Merverde clapped loudly once more.
Then, the halo of light spread out and the figures increased innumerable.
Hundreds of blue triangles.
Hundreds of red circles.
Hundreds of yellow squares.
Some rotate clockwise, others counterclockwise, filling the surroundings.
“A study in which everything is done exactly as one imagines it. This is magic.”
Marquis Merverde smiled.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Still, these little children of the royal family were watching the feast of lights without coming to their senses.
Kizando, who was called a bad boy.
Elise, the prickly princess, too.
Even Leo, who showed the buds of genius, was the same.
‘Every time I teach the children, it’s been the same here.’
No matter how distracted the child was, he was as quiet as he was watching this scene.
Look at Kizan’s clenched fists.
His trembling hands seemed to be very excited, and he could clearly guess what he was thinking.
Elise was also watching the feast of lights with open eyes.
He usually does all sorts of cute things, but there’s no way he can be shy while watching this.
The eyes of Marquis Merverde, who smiled happily, turned to Leo.
‘And… What will Prince Leo think when he sees this?’
At first glance, he seemed as admiring as his other brothers.
What’s important is what comes next.
Will he be proud, admire that he wants to be like him, or be frustrated by the great system of magic?
Of course, if it was Leo’s talent that Marquis Merverde recognized, there would be nothing to do or fall into frustration.
Rather, it may grow rapidly towards this goal.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
Marquis Merverde smiled and looked away.
It was because I thought that if I stared at it for no reason, it might feel burdensome.
because he couldn’t see
-Szeuk. Skip.
Leo blankly stares at the halo of light.
His fingers were moving little by little.
At first glance, it’s so minute that you wouldn’t even know it’s moving.
Little by little, I followed the shapes of light spreading in all directions.
-Szeuk. Skip.
The feast of light was slowly imprinting in Leo’s head.
* * *
Classes were suspended for a while and break time came.
Marquis Merverde was out so the children could think comfortably.
“Hey, it’s Leo. I’ll go to the bathroom.”
“Why are you asking for my permission?”
“Uh, uh… . just… I’m telling you. I’ll be back soon.”
Kizan cautiously spoke to Leo and went outside.
Now, only Leo and Ellis were left.
“Boy. What have you done?”
Elise approached Leo slightly.
Like a child of the Roman royal family, he has a small face and a cute appearance.
Her silver eyes sparkled, and her long silver hair fell to her waist.
When she grew up a little, she would definitely be famous as a famous beauty in the kingdom.
“What am I?”
“I mean older brother Kizan. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like that.”
Elise pointed to the door and said.
“When I was only one year older, every time I said, ‘My older brother… ‘, ‘When my older brother was your age… ’ I was condescending.”
She furrowed her nose and frowned.
Kizan’s easy-going personality is well-known within the royal court.
And Alice is the one who has suffered the most.
There is only a one-year age difference, and their magic skills are similar, so they take lessons together.
Kizan always looked down at his sister, who was a year younger than him.
I didn’t like it, but I thought it was because he was my brother and moved on.
But today, my youngest brother took a class together.
Of course, Kizan couldn’t stay still.
If this is true for a younger brother who is 1 year younger than him, he who is 2 years younger is taking classes together?
It’s normal to keep harassing him without Marquis Merverde’s knowledge.
But he didn’t.
Rather, he was perplexed and watched.
“Hey Leo. How did you do that? Let me know too.”
Elise pretended to be friendly and clung to Leo.
said Leo, gently pulling her away.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“lie. Kizan oppa can’t be like that. Are you sure you don’t want to tell me?”
Leo looked at Elise.
Her full name is ‘Alice Drex Rom Karst’.
She was the 7th member of the Roman royal family, and Leo’s older sister.
8 years old.
That’s all I know about her now.
But Leo had a little more detail in his head.
‘Fire Witch. In the future, as a fire mage, I will become one of the best female mages in the world.’
Shortly after Kizan’s coronation as the next king, Elise leaves the royal family.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Just as all the members of the royal family were full of talent, she too grows up to be a great wizard.
Later, he even becomes the owner of the Mage Tower.
fire witch. One of the most powerful wizards on the battlefield.
But now she’s still just an 8-year-old little girl.
“Ah please~~~ Noona will ask you like this. So let me know, okay? I also don’t want to see Kizan oppa messing around anymore~~!!”
Elise clung to Leo and whined.
Leo was able to know Elise’s unknown personalities.
‘I thought it would be awkward because it’s a younger brother I’ve hardly seen, but he has a good affinity. I also have a tantrum personality… .’
But I can’t tell you how.
How can you say that it became quiet after destroying Kizan’s magic and shooting arrows of light?
It’s a method that you can’t put into practice even if you hear it.
Instead, Leo chose the next best thing.
“Then next time Kizan-hyung does it again, tell me. I will help you.”
“Leo, are you helping me?”
“yes. Kizan listens to what I say.”
It’s not a matter of words, he can’t even make eye contact with Leo.
Of course, the bigger it gets, the more arrogant it can be.
But it doesn’t matter.
In preparation for that time, Leo was thinking of constantly fixing Kizan’s personality.
After all, my childhood will be with him.
“Okay. Then, next time my sister will ask for it, should I help her then?”
“Okay.”
“Is that the end?”
“… I understand, sister.”
Leo reluctantly replied.
Elise smiled broadly and stroked Leo’s head.
“great. It’s a promise. Instead, I’ll make sure to listen to your request, Leo.”
later
It’s not much now, but later, when I’m an adult, she could be of great help.
To win favor with the Fire Witch in exchange for keeping one child quiet.
‘It’s a lucrative business.’
For the price of stopping Kizan from running amok, it was a pretty good price.
It was then.
“ruler. Let’s start class again.”
The Marquis of Merverde entered.
Beside him, Kizan quickly followed.
“ha ha ha. I have a stomach ache, so I came in now.”
Kizan muttered as if he were to sit down carefully and watch and listen to Leo.
Leo laughed involuntarily.
He still couldn’t see Leo’s eyes properly.
* * *
‘Definitely interesting.’
that evening.
Returning to his room, Leo recalled the class he had taken today.
Mana is used to create shapes.
If you simply deal with particles (dots), you are a 1st class wizard.
If you make a straight line and use it, you are a 2nd class wizard.
If you create shapes such as triangles, squares, and pentagons, you are a third-class wizard.
What Marquis Merverde showed me today was a good target for the children of the royal family who had just entered magic.
Rather than vaguely learning magic, it would be much easier to move forward if you showed such a clear path ahead.
Even at a young age who is easily swayed by temptation, after seeing something like that, I will not give up easily and will continue to work hard.
Even Leo was already developing his skills based on what he saw today.
‘But that’s not enough.’
However, he was not satisfied.
You can become a good enough wizard by learning common magic, but Leo’s goal is beyond that.
Not the best wizard, but the best wizard.
You have to get rid of the characteristics inside your body and survive in this game.
Besides, how unreasonable this world is.
If you only believe in your talent or status and talk about it, neither the mouse nor the bird can die.
As you play the game, monster-like NPCs that can easily kill even the prince of a country appear densely.
A tremendous level of strength that can destroy a city with the strength of each one.
If you didn’t know, you didn’t know, you can’t be complacent knowing that there are such people.
‘You can’t just learn magic. I need to get into arcane magic soon.’
arcane magic.
In other words, unique magic is a system of magic created by a particular wizard or group of wizards.
Magic created by adding their own special secrets to the base of common magic.
Among the famous schools of arcane magic are spells that summon dragons made of lightning or move mountains to turn them into golems.
And, of course, some arcane magic existed in the Roman family as well.
Arcane spells with multiple properties.
However, what Leo was aiming for was not such ordinary arcane magic.
‘The beginning of the royal family. Arcane magic learned by King Karst. According to the story of the game, no one would have discovered it yet.’
Later, the player can learn by receiving hidden quests.
‘Arcane Magic <Frost Breath>.’
The magic that made King Karst one of the 5 heroes.
Leo intended to learn it.
