I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

7. Different Dreams

1.

Dongsangmong.

We had the same idea, but our goals were different.

Lorenzo Tonali, the court wizard, sincerely wanted Rudric to come to the imperial palace and learn magic from him rather than the Mage Tower. Decades ago and now, when Lorenzo left the Mage’s Tower, the Mage’s Tower was still a closed and conservative organization.

If those who seek the truth are magicians, then those who should have the most open mind are rather buried in the past and unable to develop, a group that repeats stagnation and regression.

If Lorenzo was to evaluate it calmly, the Mage Tower was just at that level.

However, if he inherited the results of studying, verifying, and developing theories with like-minded people over the past few decades, Rudrick truly believed that he would become a great wizard.

On the other hand, Princess Elena Esgeland wanted Rudrick to leave the Countess of Weiss and head to the ecliptic as soon as possible.

The time left until the curse that took Rudrick’s life before returning is manifested is long, but it’s natural that it’s better to keep it by his side.

And.

‘Her Highness’ insight was right.’

Lorenzo thought as he waited for Ludrick’s decision.

Just as swordsmen who have reached the heights of despair already gauge their opponent’s capabilities before swords facing each other, an outstanding wizard with the level of skill of the court mage, Lorenzo, could have guessed the same wizard’s capabilities.

‘How can I reach this level by self-study without a teacher to guide me?’

Lorenzo, who roughly guessed Rudrick’s magical talent and competence, stuck out his tongue in his heart.

Of course, compared to himself, he is far behind, but that’s because the target of comparison is a country’s court magician.

It was by no means a lie when he said in front of the princess that he was a lumber to become a future archmage. A boy named Ludrick Weiss was a raw stone with a talent she couldn’t believe.

It was a little strange that the amount of mana in the heart was so large that it almost seemed like a dragon compared to a normal wizard, but the fact that the absolute value of mana that can be accumulated in the body itself is so high is a story that can be explained as a unique constitution. .

At the same time, passion dwelled in Lorenzo’s eyes, who was determined not to let go of Rudric.

“It’s okay. Learning magic from the court mage.”

“It’s a wise choice. Rudrick-kun will definitely not regret that choice now.”

After waiting for an eternity, Rudrick finally answered positively, and Lorenzo, who had forgotten his body, replied with a wide smile like a child.

As the search for the truth itself is the only proposition in his life and the driving force that enabled him to walk the path of sorcery for decades, the fact that he had found a disciple to succeed him was overjoyed.

It doesn’t matter if you have talent.

Whether it’s a low status or a noble status. Or even if that gender is male, not female.

“Are you going to speak directly to Count Weiss?”

“Um… But he’s a son, so it’d be better for me to tell him myself, to my mother.”

“I see.”

Lorenzo, with a benevolent smile, put on a satisfied expression.

“Then I’ll leave the old man knowing that. He’s been in the stranger’s room too long. Again, I apologize for this rudeness.”

“No, it wasn’t even rude. I’ll take care of my mother, so she doesn’t have to worry.”

“Heh heh, I understand. I will also tell Her Highness the Princess. Then…”

After closing Rudrick’s door, Lorenzo hurried to his guest room. In order to convey this happy news to the princess as soon as possible.

She’s herself. As long as she takes Rudrick as her apprentice, it doesn’t matter much to her, but the intentions of her master she serves seem to be a little different.

Like that, Lorenzo left, and Ludrick, who was left alone again, made a puzzled expression.

“Is that a good thing?”

Adapting yourself to this world and learning magic is a completely different matter from having the mindset of a wizard. At least Rudric couldn’t understand Lorenzo’s way of thinking.

For a while, doubts arose as to whether it was something to be so happy about simply having a disciple.

“……Maybe it means that in this world, a wizard’s apprentice is a graduate student. Maybe I made a mistake.”

Muttering, Rudrick gave a tired expression.

In Rudrick’s previous life, his status as a graduate student was like legal slavery in the 21st century when democracy flourished.

If graduate students are replaced with wizard students and professors with wizard teachers, the inference could be fully established.

“……If it’s really like that, I’ll have to ask you to step down later.”

2.

The warm sun was beating down. The sea where the salty wind blows calmly.

Healthy brown skin tanned under the intense southern sunlight. And a hat, symbolizing the captain’s authority, was slanted over the brilliant blond hair that was reflected in the sunlight.

“Admiral, are you really going back to your homeport?”

“Adjutant, have you ever seen me say two words with one mouth? Haven’t you?”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Then stop talking and get the helm. We’re going back to land!”

“……Ehh.”

Several boats turned their bows slowly.

And as soon as Rasil finished speaking, sailors here and there oh! While shouting and responding, the sigh of Crow, the lieutenant, was thoroughly buried.

“Admiral, you should know that if we turn the bow here, four or five ships will be captured by pirates even if the merchant ships fail.”

“That’s none of my business. Are there more important things on land?”

“……It’s important?”

“Yes, this is really, really important. It’s so important that it doesn’t matter if five hundred ships sink instead of five.”

“What is that important thing?”

“Okay.”

Rassil, who twisted her thick, wavy hair with her hands, put on a troubled expression.

While contemplating on what to rhyme, Rashil asked with a serious face, her mischievous expression until just now gone.

“Adjutant, do you believe in fate?”

“Yes, of course I believe. Even in a storm, some boats capsize, and some boats come out intact. If that’s not fate, what is it?”

“Yes. We are sailors who live on the capricious sea, so we usually trust them. We are also very sensitive to superstitions and fate.”

“It is said that ground dogs live on land, but our situation is a little different.”

“Well, anyway, that’s why I tend to believe in fate or superstition. If that’s the reason, it’s because of it. Fate.”

“It’s fate to turn the boat here and now?”

Rasil nodded his head with a polite face at Crow’s absurd question.

If you don’t call regression destiny, what should you call it?

A whim of a god? Or is it really a last chance to change the predestined fate and save Rudrick?

‘Well, that’s not what’s important.’

Lasil, who was struggling, stretched her body vigorously. The important thing is that she regressed and she returned to the past.

And that he got a chance to punish the thief who stole her heart.

That was all that really mattered.

In less than a day since I first came out to sea, I turned the bow and went ahead with a favorable wind, and I could see the land in the distance.

Rasil smiled mischievously as he looked at his homeport in the distance.

“Adjutant, arrange for the fastest magic circle to go to the capital as soon as we return to the mainland.”

“……Is that fate too?”

“Well then, of course. I feel a very strong fate right now. And that fate told me to quit my role as admiral quickly and return to the mainland and head for the capital?”

“Who’s going to stop the admiral? If you try to stop him by force, that’s a mutiny, and that’s a mutiny on board.”

“Can you defeat me in the first place?”

“What do ghosts do? They won’t catch this man.”

A somewhat informal conversation between an admiral leading a fleet and his adjutant.

But Rasil laughed at even Crow’s grumbling, no, she was happy enough that she could pass it off with pleasure. In her mind, she was anxious to set foot on land as soon as possible.

She used to say that she would die on the sea even if she died, and it was a sudden change that was different from her usual Rasil.

And she, like the other four who went through her regression, the reason for this change was obvious to Rasil.

‘Let’s see…’ …. Then right after he returned, Rudrick must be around 20 by now.’

With her gaze fixed on the land in the distance, counting on her fingers, Racille kicked and burst into laughter.

‘You’re such a kid. It’s better because I can preempt Rudrick over the others this way.’

Rasil brushed her bangs up, letting her charming smile hang over her mouth. Before her return, it was said that it was a relationship that ended tragically, but wasn’t she returning like this now to prevent that?

Rasil smiled at Crow, who was still sighing deeply.

“Hey, adjutant. When you get back to land, find a brave wizard or priest who is good at cursing things.”

“Where else would you use such a person? Did you find something strange on a deserted island without me knowing?”

“If it was like that in the first place, would I have wiped my mouth and pretended not to know? We’re sharing even a piece of biscuit.”

“Don’t be mean. Anyway, I’m going to criticize it because it’s black, but please let me know later what kind of destiny it is.”

“You’ll find out later.”

Rasil’s eyes were still on the land as he responded to Crow with a kind smile.

And at some point, she tightened her clenched fists a little more.
