I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

chapter 42



42 – Wizard’s Tower – 5

I was speechless when I saw Reina and Sofia lying there bleeding.

How did this happen?

It definitely wasn’t like this in the original story.

It’s true that the second day goes to the actual test, but it wasn’t a magic battle where someone could get hurt.

No, of course, Sofia was the only one who came to the Mage Tower in the first place.

“Uh. He came as soon as I said it, so the timing is great.”

Charlotte greeted me with a smile.

It was an expression that showed no concern for the fallen girls.

“I have two rooms, where do you want to use them?”

“Well, can I know for sure from now on?”

“Is it as you see it? It’s a magic battle.”

It seemed like there was no problem at all.

It certainly didn’t look fatal.

It was a wound that could be easily resolved with light healing magic.

However, it felt like my body was stiff because I felt a huge gap with the original.

“Or maybe you are that type? Women shouldn’t have even the smallest wounds.”

“Not like that, but I was a little surprised.”

“… Come over here for a while.”

Charlotte said and snapped his finger.

I was worried about Reina and Sophia taking a break, but I followed her words for now.

“You said it at the beginning. Why did I choose you and not Sophia? It was like that even before leaving for the Magic Tower. With the talents of those two, I think I can be satisfied.”

“It was.”

“At first, I thought it was useless humility, but now I know for sure. That everything you said is true You have a pretty good eye.”

Of course.

Because Reina and Sophia are geniuses who are certified writers of the original work.

“I would like to have them stay here forever, but that won’t work again. But there is too little time to let those talents bloom.”

“So you’re doing a real-life type of magic warfare?”

“Yes. What they both need is an instrument. If there is just one decisive opportunity, it will grow at a tremendous speed. Then I will have to make it.”

Charlotte was smiling happily.

Time goes back to the past for a moment, yesterday afternoon.

“Isn’t it too irresponsible to say you didn’t think of anything?”

As Ike left the room, Raina opened her mouth while drinking black tea.

From Reina’s point of view, it was as if she had been half-forced to the Mage Tower.

I can’t even prepare anything in such a situation.

When she works, Reina, who is always planned, has no choice but to come out with a smirk.

“I brought it on the fly, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

However, Charlotte brushed off Reina’s criticism as if nothing had happened.

“So wait a minute. I’ll think about what to do soon.”

Reina is well versed in magic.

That’s why she had a vision of the sage, the one standing at the top.

But now it was slowly breaking down.

“Okay. Shall we check your level with a simple written test?”

Looking at Charlotte, who finally came to a conclusion that wasn’t a big deal, Raina quietly let out a sigh.

“Hmm. The grades are pretty good.”

Charlotte let out a light admiration while looking at Reina and Sophia’s exam papers.

What was given to them was a test paper that they had to solve in order to belong to the Mage Tower.

Even if you belong to Arcana, it must have been quite difficult for freshmen.

However, the two in front of Charlotte achieved decent results.

Though that was a testament to his talent.

‘But it’s a pity.’

Charlotte felt regret.

Especially to Sophia.

She was recommended by her teacher, Ender, and praised Ike, who came with them, as a great talent.

However, judging from the test results alone, it was an ambiguous result to say that he was a genius.

Of course, if you look at it normally, you should consider that Sophia is not an aristocrat who has been educated since childhood, but a commoner special student.

That was a meaningless story to Charlotte Isolde.

She was an orphan picked up by the priest of Martires when she was young.

She is an orphan, but with only one talent, she became Saint Selene’s disciple.

After Selene passed away, she was a genius in the eyes of Ender Arcana, the owner of the Mage Tower at the time.

To Charlotte, who went through such a growing process, the hurdles to the word genius were very high.

‘Still, it’ll be fun to sharpen.’

It is a short time of four days, but if you teach yourself, you will definitely grow.

And maybe someday I’ll bring them back to the Mage’s Tower.

Charlotte had thought so until then.

A few hours after starting the theory class.

“Hmm.”

Charlotte quietly bit his lip.

The questions that Reina and Sophia missed on the exam.

Based on them, I started the class.

And the more I went through the class, the more I noticed that there was a crucial problem.

“It is difficult.”

Reina is as Reina.

Sofia Boulevard Sofia.

The two were similar but different problems.

If this part isn’t fixed, the two won’t be able to succeed as mages.

That intuition passed through Charlotte.

Then what should I do?

“… Should I do as I learned from Master?”

Even though it was Charlotte, it wasn’t like he wasn’t blocked by a wall.

Every time her mentor, Ender, solved the problem in a very simple way.

And Charlotte decided to follow suit.

“You two. Follow me at once.”

The place where Charlotte brought them was the room she used to develop her new attribute magic.

“Where is this?”

“I’ve been thinking about it, but I’m giving up trying to explain it in words.”

“Yes?”

As if she heard something she couldn’t understand, Reina tilted her head slightly.

Sophia just stared blankly.

But Charlotte didn’t care at all and reached out her right hand to the two of them.

Go away!

With a thunderclap, a bolt of lightning fell right in front of the two.

“What is this?”

Reina frowned at the suddenness, and Sophia trembled in surprise.

“The miracle of attribute magic. But now you don’t seem to understand half of what I mean by this.”

“… I think my grades were good.”

“It’s a completely separate story from grades.”

“Then, did we do anything wrong?”

“Well, it’s not your fault.”

Charlotte pointed her right hand at the two of them again.

This time, the fireball flew towards Reina at great speed.

As if Reina had already expected it, she opened the water barrier.

However, Charlotte’s fireball did not fade at all and penetrated the water barrier.

“What?!”

Reina reflexively flinched, but her fireball disappeared before it hit her directly.

“But what can be fixed, wouldn’t it be better to fix it?”

“Then it is better to explain in words….”

“No. Theory doesn’t solve everything.”

Once you roll, the answer will eventually come out.

No, there is no watermelon to wake up to.

This is how Charlotte was taught by her mentor, Ender.

“There are things you can only know by bumping into them.”

Something began to emerge behind Charlotte’s back as she said that.

The sphere of fire. Ice window. Blade of wind. Awl in the rock, etc.

The offensive magic that made you sweat cold just by looking at it, was definitely aimed at Reina and Sophia.

“As a senior, I will definitely give you guidance.”

I’m not kidding.

Charlotte is now seriously trying to engage in a magic war with them.

Reina and Sophia held their breath when they realized that.

Charlotte established three rules for this magic war.

First. The magic Charlotte uses is up to C-class.

Second. Charlotte does not use protection magic.

Third. If both of them succeed in even a light attack on Charlotte, they win.

“Aren’t you ignoring us too much?”

“If you think so, prove it yourself.”

Of course, Reina’s words weren’t sincere.

Who is standing in front of you?

When he was 15 years old, he was recognized as the owner of the Mage Tower by the Archmage Ender Arcana.

Isn’t he a true genius who received the title of sage from the royal family at the same time he graduated from Arcana?

Even if I set that limit, I couldn’t draw a picture of winning.

“Shall we move from this side first?”

At the same time, a fireball floating behind Charlotte flew towards Reina.

Raina reflexively opened the water barrier.

It was the same situation as before.

But if there was one difference.

“What?!”

Unlike before, when she disappeared before reaching Reina, she hit Reina’s left shoulder directly.

“There’s a barrier, so you won’t be seriously hurt. Of course you will feel the pain. But if you keep getting hit, you might shed some blood.”

Reina softly bit her lip in her pain.

Sophia quietly swallowed her saliva.

Summer must have had time to arrive, but for some reason, the two’s backs were starting to get wet with sweat.

“Is it going properly now?”

As she said that, Charlotte smiled cruelly.

Zeing!

Numerous wind blades flew towards Reina and Sophia from all sides of her.

However, Reina and Sofia were not at all taken aback.

The four-day magic battle has definitely grown these two.

“Ms. Sophia!”

“Mirror of Rest!”

The barrier of light opened and the blade of the wind lightly bounced off.

“Tempest Chain!”

Then, the silvery chain attacked Charlotte at the speed of a venomous snake.

“As expected, it’s fun.”

But Charlotte wasn’t taken aback at all.

On the contrary, he smiled and cut the silver chain with the blade of the new wind.

It’s only four days.

Up until two days ago, the two couldn’t even attack properly, let alone counterattack.

However.

Without any theory explanation.

Those two who were unilaterally defeated in the magic war.

It was growing at an incredible rate, like a sponge sucking up water.

But it’s still a long way off.

It was clear that he had become stronger, but the fundamentals hadn’t changed.

It wasn’t just a story of magic warfare.

If the two of them realize that part that occupies the basis of attribute magic.

It will surely become stronger many times over.

Charlotte’s body trembled with so much joy just imagining it.

And that soon led to carelessness.

“It’s over!”

“Huh?”

An arrow of light flew from behind.

Charlotte reacted swiftly, but it had already grazed his face.

“Ha.”

Thanks to the room’s barrier, I wasn’t hurt, but I had to admit the pain I felt on my cheek.

No matter how careless he was, it was only the two new students of Arcana who succeeded in attacking him.

It was natural that he couldn’t react in the first place.

On the contrary, Charlotte’s attempt to avoid it was remarkable.

The barriers of light that still stretched out in his field of view and the arrows of light that flew between them.

Multiple manifestations of magic.

And it was by no means an easy skill to master in a matter of days.

“… They are real geniuses.”

Feeling strange about the fact that her partner was Sophia, Charlotte smiled quietly.

“Congratulations. Reina, Sophia. You guys won.”

Hearing that, the two sat down on the floor as if their tension had been relieved.

Charlotte sat down with them and opened her mouth again.

“Then, the last theory class.”

“Yes?”

Theory class right after the magic war is over.

Reina wondered if the order was reversed.

That didn’t make any sense in front of Charlotte.

“Honestly, you guys are probably realizing it through your senses. I just can’t put it into words.”

To be honest, Charlotte was reluctant to explain directly.

I wanted these two to realize it myself.

But now that we’ve come this far, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to tell them directly.

First, she pointed at Reina.

“The miracle of attribute magic. An incantation is an equation for making miracles happen. Reina, you are too attached to that fact.”

“What does that mean?”

“Your ego is too firm. Don’t decide the right answer from the beginning. Imagine every time you implement a miracle. What do I need and what do I want right now?”

And then he pointed at Sophia.

“Sophia. On the contrary, you are too swayed around. Think of your own basic equations, what you want. Don’t get hung up on the answers others have taught you.”

“Okay.”

How much will they change with this?

Charlotte was unknown.

And also that there was nothing that was supposed to happen in this episode.

Of course, but I couldn’t figure it out at all.
