I Was Banished From the Hero Party I Raised

1. Mystic Mage (5)

“Philip… Are you?”

“… no?”

Surprisingly, I almost did.

How many people can match my face with Philip’s?

Vivian was in the orphanage and didn’t even see what happened earlier.

“okay… .”

Vivian nods.

It was a disappointing response, but then it was a disappointing response.

Didn’t you know what it was and asked?

“I misunderstood reality for a moment. sorry.”

“No, I’m sorry. Rather, you are aspiring to be a hero, right?”

“yes… . Are you the manager?”

Her gaze lingered on my hand for a moment.

It was the hand that broke the sword, but he did not express any particular doubt.

Among managers, there are also cases where they are active as warriors and then convert, so it is not uncommon.

“you’re right. I came to see the list, but in case I… .”

“sorry.”

Apologize before you even finish talking.

It’s an uneasy apology, but this.

“What do you mean sorry?”

“I… The list was written as a request for help. I really don’t intend to become a hero… .”

Vivian bowed her head and apologized.

“It’s impossible for someone like me… . Anyway, I’m really sorry.”

I didn’t expect this.

“Anything else that even a human like me can do… .”

“no no. That’s it. More than that, why did you stop thinking about becoming a warrior? You tried a lot.”

“that… .”

I hesitated and sighed a few times.

Vivian began to explain carefully.

*

Vivian spoke calmly about her past.

It was very detailed as if he was sorry for me who came to me.

A miracle that came by chance, two years of living, ten failures, and people’s contempt.

It would have been something that the person concerned couldn’t be calm about, but she said it as if someone else was talking about it.

It was a detachment that gave up many things in life.

Vivian ended sadly.

“I wasn’t Sylvia after all.”

I was taken aback, but quickly understood.

I heard that the story of how I picked up and raised Sylvia is passed down like a fairy tale.

You seem more famous than you think.

“So, I don’t think there will be anyone like Philip… .”

that… not.

Philip is better left as a ghost.

“You’ve been looking for me for so long, and I’m really sorry… . But as you’ve heard, I’m subhuman livestock scum… . It won’t do you any good… .”

Once again, he bows down and politely declines.

Self-deprecation is a bit harsh.

It was a good background, though.

“Are there any other wizards in this town?”

“no. I’m alone. Neither a wizard nor a superhuman.”

Then it is said that this Vivian is the one who caused the mana explosion… .

But who engraved the seal of silence?

Let’s think for a moment.

After failing 10 times and struggling in vain for 2 years, his self-esteem has collapsed.

While living here as an orphanage teacher, her mental state did not improve.

Rather, I thought I found my aptitude, but I was betrayed, so I must have been hurt even more.

A life expected of caring for children.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like she’s a bad person.

Being trusted by children is proof of that.

My heart has become weak, so I shouldn’t approach it hastily.

Like a frightened wild animal, slowly.

“Well, I can’t help it if you refuse that much.”

“really sorry… .”

“it’s okay. You can find someone else. Rather, are you going to stay here?”

Vivian toured the orphanage.

A spacious but shabby, somber place.

Children who are very skinny because they do not eat their food on time.

It’s not a good environment for adults either.

“I wish I could go out, but… . Where are you going to take these kids? Someone like me has neither the strength nor the guts to run away… .”

“Hmm.”

I have one suggestion, but it’s too breaking news to get out right away.

Shall we take a closer look?

“Do you hate Seonghwagyo?”

Seonghwagyo (Holy Fire).

It is the state religion of the Empire that worships sacred fire.

And, in a certain monastery of Seonghwagyo, there is a person who owes me.

“The Seonghwa Church? No, not really. What do you like and dislike about me… I don’t even dare.”

“Then what do you think about children growing up in Seonghwagyo Monastery?”

The monastery is for those who volunteer to contribute and serve society, and they also take care of orphans.

“yes? what is that… .”

Vivian, who asked back, realized the meaning and kept her mouth shut.

“… Yes. If I can do that on the condition that I follow the manager, I will. I don’t know how helpful I can be… .”

How far have you skipped your thoughts alone?

It’s not that I don’t have such nefarious intentions.

I’m not that kind of a human being.

“You are misunderstanding something. Regardless of that, I was trying to find a place to stay.”

“yes? really?”

“You can go with the kids if you want.”

“Uh… .”

It must be sudden.

“Think slowly. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.”

“yes… .”

It is impossible to challenge 10 times in 2 years without being very desperate.

I must have turned away from that lingering feeling by taking care of the children.

Now, because of me, that lingering attachment must have been ignited.

If you follow the abbey here, you will know that opportunity will be lost forever.

Shall I touch you a little more?

“It’s too bad that we went without any harvest. Can you show me some magic?”

“Is it magic?”

“yes. I’ve come this far, but I can’t even see my skills and it’s kind of why I go back.”

“Um… .”

I didn’t urge her to worry.

If I didn’t like it, I would have said no right away.

You have to let them choose.

“If it’s just one magic… .”

*

The orphanage is to be guarded by Kati and Mercy.

I came out to the wide field behind the orphanage.

“Well, what kind of magic should I use?”

The one who fell 10 times picks a spell?

Usually, aspiring wizards only use two spells.

Among the two, one is a ‘light’ for lighting, so there is only one other attack magic to show.

“Do what you are comfortable with. Are you confident?”

“Myself… I don’t have one, but I’ll try.”

Then Vivian closed her eyes and concentrated.

I’ve already developed a bad habit.

A characteristic of novice wizards.

Close your eyes to concentrate while casting magic.

Magic is cast in two stages.

The first is to open the body’s mana circuit.

It’s not difficult.

The second after opening the circuit.

It is ‘casting’ that calculates magic.

Calculate the nature, shape, size, density, direction, and speed of the elements to be used, and end by casting an incantation.

Most get lost at this stage.

Because I have to do those complicated calculations at the same time.

Even in the temporary test, I don’t expect much magic from Vivian, who has failed 10 times.

Just, what kind of person could he be to cause a mana explosion in the aspirant stage?

i want to know that

But is the casting a bit long?

When Vivian finally opened her eyes, a shadow fell over her head.

“uh?”

Looking up, there was a long, thick block of ice there.

Are you using magic now?

You didn’t memorize the last order?

“Uh… .”

Vivian was also surprised.

A long block of ice created in the air was falling toward the field in front.

It is almost the size of a large tree.

I’m a bit uneasy.

The moment when a chunk of ice that fell fiercely hit the ground.

Crushed ice shards flew in all directions.

“Oops!”

He immediately threw himself and knocked Vivian down.

A large, sharp piece of debris passed where she had just been standing.

Small debris rained down on the fallen back.

“What did you do?”

“That’s Ice Spear… . Why, why so big… ?”

ice spear?

If that’s an ice spear, the one I’ve seen so far must be an ice needle.

It turns all my experiences into needles rather than spears.

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such an ignorant size.

I realized one thing.

The reason why Vivian was able to cause Mana Explosion.

Each magician has a different specialized field, but Vivian was the type with the strongest destructive power.

It’s not just strong, it’s to the point where you can’t control yourself.

This is a gemstone… .

How do you flirt?

“… master?”

“yes?”

Kati’s voice caught my mind.

It was only then that I realized that Vivian was lying underneath.

Kati’s expression is cold.

There is even an illusion of seeing life swaying in the eyes beyond the eyepatch.

“Wait, Kati. You must be wrong, you know?”

“… … .”

“Why, why no answer… . Hey there, Vivian. Please explain something.”

“that… . I was closing my eyes preparing the magic, but suddenly I… .”

No, it’s not true!

I’m sure I woke up!

“Kati, no. Not really. Katie? Ugh, loosen up your fists. It’s me, it’s me!”

*

Kati went back after hearing the reason that she did it out of fear of getting caught up in the aftermath of the magic.

Vivian also helped explain.

Come to think of it, I have no reason to explain things like this to Kati.

Still, for some reason, a chill runs down my spine… .

I sent Kati back and sorted out what just happened.

Let’s leave it to the size of ignorant magic.

But obviously she didn’t cast the order.

There are two ways to skip casting.

Casting Save, or Casting Pass.

Save is to save the magic to be used in advance.

Pass is to skip the casting process by repeatedly mastering a specific magic.

is it the latter?

Since I’ve been an aspirant for two years, I must have used the same magic until I got tired of it.

Even so, it’s not a skill that can be used at the current level.

“Ugh, sorry… .”

“yes? ah.”

I guess he thought it was because he was angry that I was silent.

“I was thinking about it for a while. Is Ice Spear a magic you usually use?”

“no… . There is something else that I use often.”

… Yeah?

what are you talking about this

“Then why an ice spear?”

“That’s because the other one is a flame type. I’m afraid the field might catch fire… . I can’t harm the plants on the subject of trash that doesn’t even help… .”

It wouldn’t be strange if a fire broke out as long as it was the size I just saw.

“Did you save the Ice Spear?”

“yes? save… What?”

“?”

It seems that you don’t understand my words at all.

Even if I tell them about casting saves and passes, they say they are hearing about it for the first time.

“When you used Ice Spear, you didn’t recite a spell.”

“yes. I used to… .”

“You said it was like that?”

“Yes Yes… .”

I shudder as if my questions sounded like they were being questioned.

There is no time to worry about the reaction.

No save or pass.

The realm of using magic without casting.

I’ve heard that it only exists in theory.

No Casting.

“You know the stage of using magic, right?”

“yes. Open circuit, cast… . But I haven’t done the second step since before. Instead, it was too late to open the circuit… . Ugh, so I get scolded by my colleagues every time… .”

Most wizards are obsessed with reducing casting time.

It’s not that hard to become a master at opening circuits quickly.

In short, Vivian can fire magic every time she blinks by shortening her magic casting stage by 1 step.

“Did I do something wrong?”

I do not seem to know this fact.

No one seems to have informed me.

Well, I also picked it up by chance from the owner of the Magic Tower, whom I became close to in the previous episode.

There’s no one around Vivian who knows this.

“No, I was surprised that you did so well.”

“Ugh… . I-I couldn’t have done better… . Even if you don’t say anything like that… .”

“Really?”

“The casting is slow, and I can’t even hit it properly… .”

It was like that before.

It’s useless because it’s a magic that can’t hit monsters.

But that can be easily overcome.

In the end, it is a problem that can be solved by quickly opening the circuit.

In a combat situation, the circuit opens late due to nervousness, so you fail to aim because you are impatient.

And, I even know how to practice to overcome that problem.

I really like this… .

“Vivian.”

“yes.”

The serious voice makes her nervous.

“It’s not empty talk, and it’s not forced. Listen to me.”

slowly and carefully.

started persuading.
