Infinite Wizard

Reina stared blankly at Shirone, who was breathing heavily. I can't evaluate his sense of pitch because he doesn't deserve to be called a performance, but his insight into realizing his essence was beyond imagination.

'Who are you? Why is this child a butler... ... .'

"Oh, a little noisy! You devil!"

Shirone and Reina looked back towards the hallway at the same time.

"If you come, wipe your feet and go to sleep, or even sing a lullaby! Get hit in a harsh place and get hysterical!"

frizzy hair. Half-closed, grim eyes. Lian, still asleep, entered the room, scratching his washboard abs. Then she saw Shirone sitting next to his sister and tilted his head.

"what? Shirone, what are you doing here?"

"No, there... ... ."

It would be a big deal if Rayna found out that she was friends with Lian.

However, Lian mumbled something as if he hadn't thought about it, and then suddenly grabbed his stomach and smiled.

"Puhahaha! Can you Are you here to get it?"

Shirone's face burned with unbearable shame. How will Rayna see herself if she learns of the crime Lian committed? Also, how embarrassing would she be?

"no! It's because I came in for a while."

"No what? Congratulations Shirone. You have finally become a man."

Lian was unstoppable. Of course, underwear was probably as insignificant as a dishcloth among family members. However, it was a burden that Shirone could not handle.

"what? Did you guys know each other?"

"Shirone? uh, my friend."

"Lian! What are you talking about?"

"ha ha ha! Are you okay? That witch has a nasty temper, but she doesn't care about that at all."

Is it so?

I know she has an artistic and open personality. However, this was the most serious situation that could happen between nobles and commoners.

"Your name was Shirone. Do not worry about it. Because if Lian is a friend, he is a friend. Although he is a pathetic younger brother, he is not one to play with people."

Shirone didn't look suspicious. It could have made her feel bad as the victim, but Reina rather accepted Shirone's attitude favorably. Because true trust grows out of doubt.

"But you are very special. How did you do that performance earlier?"

"what? Was it Shirone? I thought my sister's hysteria was triggered again."

Shirone's brow furrowed. He didn't understand why he would label such a pretty and affectionate older sister a witch or a hysteria.

"Lian, why did you lie to me? You are a kind and nice person."

"Shirone, you must not be fooled! This woman is a witch! She might eat you someday!"

Lian grabbed Shirone by the shoulder and shook him. Lian's expression was too serious to dismiss it as a joke.

"Whoops, I'm sorry. My younger brother is so immature. Still, it's reassuring to have a friend like Shirone. Despite having a pathetic and troublesome younger brother, you take good care of me."

Lian walked over to the table and poured water. In any case, between brother and sister, no matter what they said, it would not go into their ears.

"Oh, no. what am i... ... ."

Reina stared at Shirone, who shyly scratched his head. Although he was already 17 and should have been all grown up, he remained an innocent child.

"Whoops, you are so cute."

"If you're that cute, your sister lives with you. If Shirone becomes a family, it's good for me. Hahahaha!"

At Lian's joke, Shirone's face turned red. Even so, the reason he didn't feel bad was that he had a crush on her, knowingly or unknowingly.

"Oh my goodness! You seem to be close enough to give up your older sister."

"What are you talking about? Of course, Shirone is like a brother, but he doesn't mind giving a witch like you to anyone. Rather, Shirone is a waste."

"Aha, is that so?"

Reina's body flew up. Shirone's mind was dazzled by her leaping power, which easily exceeded the height of a person.

Landing in front of Lian, Reina pulled her brother's ear hard.

"Ouch! it hurts! It hurts!"

"You got it, you culprit!"

"You are the culprit! What are you talking about?"

"The guy who played with my underwear. is it you?"

"no! Why put it on a strict person!"

"You and Shirone are the only two hot-blooded men on the second floor, and from what I have seen, Shirone is definitely not that kind of guy. So there is only you Will you admit it now? Why did you take interest in your sister's underwear, which you hate so much?"

Reina was once a master of swordsmanship on par with Rai. As such, the power concentrated in his fingers was truly enormous.

Lian looked at Shirone with the feeling of being quenched by hellfire. There is only self-destruction beyond this. If you're going to die anyway, isn't it better for even one person to survive?

"Yes, I did! I was trying to put it on because my underwear fell off! You can't even give your sister a pair of panties! Aaaagh!"

When Reina mercilessly tugged at her ear, the huge Lian stood on tiptoe.

"Are you saying that now? If you don't tell the truth, your ears will be ripped off."

"Kill, kill! I have nothing more to say!"

Shirone was restless. No matter who took the lead, it was the same thing, so I couldn't let Lian suffer alone.

"Hey, actually I did."

"Shirone, no! You don't know the fear of this witch! Run quickly!"

"It happened because Lian was playing a joke. There was no malice. But I'm really sorry."

"Hmm, that's what I mean."

Reina slowly opened her eyes and looked at Shirone and Lian alternately. Then, she chuckled and hit Lian's head.

"Ouch!"

"I believe Shirone saved your life. But if you try that again, I swear I'll make you truly deaf."

Lian stroked the top of his head and muttered all the time. What kind of wind blew this witch into the house?

"Why did you come back? Have you taken a vacation before?"

"yes? Haven't you heard yet? Rai news."

"When did you see we cared?"

"This time, Rai is taking the official inspection test. That's why I came to pick you up. She started out with her grandfather from Wangseong, but he said he was coming to meet some friends along the way."

"An official exam?"

Lian's eyes widened in shock. The difference in skill was acknowledged. Because his brother was a genius.

But did it happen like this?

A certified license was the dream of everyone living in the kingdom of Tormia, and was a criterion to measure aristocratic ranks.

The exam is held once a year and the number of applicants reaches as high as 1,000.

However, among them, there were not even 30 people who could obtain official recognition.

There was an unofficial license as the target for comparison. It was issued by an institution designated by the royal palace. Taking Creas as an example, there was Alpheas Magic School as a representative.

After graduating from magic school, he becomes an unofficial 10th-class wizard, and after that, he raises his level by performing various achievements through associations or guilds.

The difference between public and non-officials was whether or not they were recognized by the royal family. Therefore, even among non-officials, there are talented people who are not inferior to public figures, but since people tend to flock to places where money and honor follow, the overall level of public figures could be said to be much higher.

The fact that more than half of the people who obtained non-official licenses in the annual official exam also showed the difference.

"Heh, that would be nice. Geniuses are different. They push you hard at home too."

Reina looked at Lian sadly. She was the cute little sister, with or without talent. She hoped that this incident would not hurt heim.

"I have to go prepare dinner. It's seafood from the royal palace, so you have to clean it yourself. Shirone, nice to meet you. Let's say hello next time."

"Yes. Goodbye."

Shirone put his regret behind him and lowered his head. As he left the mansion tomorrow, there was no way he would see Reina again. But he would never forget her exhilaration of the moment he played her piano with her.

"Lian, maybe your sister."

"yes? Why is my sister?"

"So... ... Does she have a boyfriend or something?"

Shirone regretted it as soon as he said it. Emotions are like beasts imprisoned in an iron cage, and if you let go, it can lead to uncontrollable consequences.

After blinking for a long time, Lian smiled, showing her teeth.

"Shirone, can you?"

"Oh no! Just forget it! I'm just... ... ."

"Puhahaha! sister! sister!"

When Lian ran out of the room, Shirone, who was blushing, chased after him. Even going down the stairs was a waste of time, Ji Lian pulled her face out of the railing and shouted.

"sister! Shirone asks if you have a boyfriend... ... !"

"Aw, stop!"

Shirone, who barely kept his mouth shut, grabbed Lian by the waist and dragged him into the room.

"What are you talking about? Boyfriend?"

The maids working in the kitchen looked up at the second floor. Reina, who prepares the seafood, said with a smile in her eyes.

"It's a joke with the kids. Now, all you have to do is steam it. The poison has been removed, so please cook according to the recipe."

"Yes, lady."

As soon as the full-scale cooking began, the ladies-in-waiting again immersed themselves in their work.

However, the young man in charge of the mansion's business was frowning at the voice from earlier.

Chief Louis.

He was the youngest person in the history of the family to become the head of the butler, thanks to his natural calculation skills and thorough personality. He was wearing rimless glasses that accentuated his cold expression.

"Shirone?"

The ladies-in-waiting may have never heard of it, but it was clearly embedded in his brain as the butler. He was a contract boy brought in by Temuran for work before the Great Library.

"Why is it that the youngest boy and... ... ?"

It was a matter that could not be overlooked for him, who had sworn to dedicate his life to the prosperity of the Ogent family. It was clear that something was going on that he didn't know about.

His eyes flashed, and he called the butler and gave instructions.

"Tell the sub-butler to come to my room right away."

* * *

From early morning, the sound of cheers resounded throughout the large parade ground.

Lian raised the intensity of training more than usual. The talk of Rai taking the official exam added fuel to his embers. He will surely catch up. With that thought in mind, he repeated the cut countless times.

Kite looked at his pupil's exciting sword dance and was convinced.

'It definitely increased.'

stamina, stamina, skill. It was a breakthrough in every way. With this level of skill, it would be easy to subdue a gang of bandits near the city.

However, assuming a confrontation between those who have formally learned swordsmanship, it was still far, far away. The problem was the schema. Lian's greatest strength, recklessness, was working as a weakness this time.

Lian's swordsmanship was hectic and intense. Even though there are times when you need to make your mind cold and realize the essence, he only emphasized moving forward.

'Everyone has their own way. The downside of not being cool is nothing compared to that hot firepower. It is clear that there is no choice but to go on like this. One, it's a pity.'

"Taha! Taha! Taha!"

He wielded a club twice as heavy as a longsword with brute force alone. Considering the air resistance, it was a power that was comparable to holding a greatsword. I was already looking forward to how much efficiency would be maximized if I could learn the schema.

"stop! 10 minute break!"

Lian gasped and returned to Kite.

Kite found the burning passion in his pupil's eyes. One day a year ago, I had eyes like this.

It went off quickly at the time, but this time it was different. Rai goes to the palace. Lian's flame would never fade again.

"Youngest boy! The youngest boy!"

The average butler working at the mansion came running in a hurry. Arriving in front of Lian, who was drinking his throat, he spoke without even holding his breath.

"It's a big deal! The lady wants you to come to the mansion quickly!"

"Your sister? what's going on all of a sudden I'm not interested if it's because of my brother. Do it yourself."

"It's not like that. A contract boy named Shirone is now in danger of dying."
