How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 491. Magic Tower Master Deciding Match (5)

“Then, did you all become disciples of the elder after that guy?”

Roughly, I guessed the process.

At the time, besides Dia, there must have been a few more disciples to that bastard.

There is no way that the remaining disciples will be neglected just because the teacher is gone.

“Yes, it is. Ugh? Even now, thinking about that time makes me dizzy. You don’t know how much I was caught off guard by the sudden disappearance of even the goddamn child, leaving the remaining disciples nowhere to go.”

“Is that so…? also.”

Dia frowned.

However, rather than being surprised, it was a reaction that felt like something I was worried about was just right.

Um... Come to think of it?

“More than that, Dia. What do you mean you thought that would happen to that kid? Somehow, both of you are not in a good mood?”

I felt a sense of incongruity in Dia and Grelevel's conversation.

We were strangely uncomfortable with each other for a classmate.

“Is it a problem between your siblings?”

“That's right.

Dia began to confess without hesitation, as if she had no intention of hiding it.

If you hide it, I'll investigate right away, so you must have thought it was meaningless.

“Grebel has reasons to hate me.”

“reason? Does that have anything to do with going so far at you?”

Seriously, I, who couldn't see the kid's attitude a moment ago, would want to slap me in the back of the head if I didn't have eyes for others.

To be honest, I can't even say that it's not rude.

even if they are siblings.

Even so, Dia takes it for granted.

On top of that, Lumie is also restless as if she is at a loss about this.

“I had an argument with him at the time.”

“brawl?”

“It's because I rejected the offer to remain in the Mage Tower and join forces with the other colleagues.”

Is that why you don't get along well?

“To him, I might just be the one who turned away from my peers and left. Thinking that way, it might be natural for him to resent me.”

“for a moment! Dia! That's not right! That... Umm...

But Lumie immediately denied Dia's guess.

Soon after, he hesitated for some reason, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he slightly stretched his shoulders and began to speak again.

“Actually, after Dia went outside and the damn bastard went missing after that… there were a lot of embarrassing things.”

perplexity?”

“I don’t know if I can talk about this.”

Rumi also scratches her cheek as if embarrassed.

“are you okay. Don't tell anyone else what you heard here.”

So go ahead and tell me. Come on!

“The Mage Tower is performance-oriented. So... um...?”

“In other words, if they are judged to have no performance or talent, they are merciless.”

Dia supplemented Lumie's hesitant explanation.

Come to think of it, I've heard similar stories before.

That's why Dia suffered from that tight atmosphere.

Even now, I still don't think so well of the Magic Tower.

“If a disciple like us who has lost a teacher does not have exceptional talent, other teachers will find it hard to accept.

It was difficult for me to receive proper instruction even if I did not receive it.”

“Is it?”

When I heard that, I couldn't help but react with surprise.

“Is that enough?”

“Yes, and even if they accept it, they use it in a way that makes them do useless chores or conduct slightly dangerous experiments. And it's difficult to refuse or complain because it's a position.”

use. It's not a word that can be attached to people even if it's just hearing it.

Rumie continued speaking with a dark expression.

“In the end, those who couldn't stand it and went out...

I had disciples who couldn't use magic because they intentionally experimented and taught the wrong way.”

It's something that even makes me cringe a little when I hear it.

“Right now, the only ones left are me and Gravel.”

“Is that enough?”

“...I've never heard of that either.”

Dia doesn't seem to know either.

“Doesn’t that seem like a simple matter?”

“Yes, so at that time, the Mage Tower sternly asked for responsibility. Well, the disciples who left did not come back.”

Rumie said that bitterly.

“Maybe that's what Grebel is concerned about. In fact, I tried to quit several times out of skepticism. I tried to stop my classmates from quitting, but it didn’t work out.”

Even Dia couldn't hear that.

“…Did something like that happen?”

“But aside from that, it’s hard to relate the attitude you showed to Dia.”

But, on the contrary, I was bored.

It's a pity, but that and this are different to the last.

That kind of attitude shouldn't be seen as a proper human being.

I don't have manners, so what kind of magician would you call me?

Manners make men and wizards.

Rumie looks at me with a restless feeling, not sure how she can defend that.

“Perhaps... that's... I think it's a little sad. He seems to be a little complicated about Dia's departure due to the same motive, since there was a lot of this and that. Anyway, I will make sure to apologize.”

“No, you don't have to worry about it. Certainly, it was my will that I left the Mage Tower on my own at the time.”

“Ugh... Anyway! I don't think Gralevel has any ill feelings toward Dia.”

“…I don’t particularly doubt that.”

Even so, Dia frowned slightly.

Perhaps there is a part that I do not understand.

In particular, he crushed his rivals with such an overly murderous and aggressive attitude.

For a person with a purpose as Lumie said, what that kid is doing is too radical.

And from what I can see, that kid is overly sharp.

somewhere empty

For a person with a will, something doesn't fit the frame, right?

I'm proud to say that I have a lot of eyes for people, so I'm probably not wrong.

However, it would be meaningless to judge Lumie, not herself.

And I have to point it out again, it would be excessive meddling.

That's why Dia didn't think to say anything.

In the end, Rumie still didn't like it, but several times after that, he apologized instead and then withdrew.

“anyway! I think that Dia will do well even if she becomes the top lord! So, as motivation, I will support both of you, so cheer up!”

after saying that

After greeting me as well, Lumie hurriedly ran somewhere.

“….How to say, he’s a very restless guy for a classmate of yours.”

“Because I don’t know what she was like before… I have nothing to say.”

“Well, they are them and D.A. you are you. You don't have to worry about it. Just go on as you believe in what you do. You can think about it later.”

There is no need to be swayed by other thoughts.

Is there anyone in the world who has no circumstances?

Everyone has a main episode that has been elaborated in their mind one by one.

That's probably why the sorceress Lumie earlier took such an ambiguous attitude.

“it's okay.”

Dia nodded broadly as if she understood what I was saying.

“Even if there is a reason, I will not look after him.”

“Yeah, that was it. So there is only one thing we have to do.”

“yes.”

With determined eyes, we discussed what we had to do right away.

“Let’s go out to the city for a while and eat some meat.

I can't eat here.”

The magic tower rice was really tasteless.

It tastes like jjambab, damn it.

I was expecting a little bit, but it was really disappointing.

“...As expected, it is Mr. Arell.”

What does that mean?

“It seems like we talked quite a bit about this and that? Lumie?”

“It can't be helped. Gravel, it's because you only showed a sharp attitude! I really apologize. Anyway, you're still not mature enough.”

For some reason, Grebel did not respond much to the point of his motive.

In fact, he also has the awareness that the attitude he had just a moment ago was a bit excessive.

“Anyway, even when they grow up, they’re just like kids.”

Well, apart from that, she looked snarky with her proud attitude.

“So Rumi? You're grown-up, you must have properly replenished Master's reagent that you ate yesterday, right?”

“....ah.”

Rumie sweating profusely.

“Wait a minute.”

She tried to beg the subject not to be brought up in a whisper, as if someone might hear it.

“...Glevel, what are you going to do if someone hears it?”

“Who is that someone talking about, Lumie?”

Ugh...

As expected, someone put a hand on Lumie's shoulder.

It is the original Francena.

After being away for a while, she returned.

Lumie glared resentfully at Grevel, who was deliberately acting mean.

Gravel closed her eyes and avoided her gaze, pretending to meditate.

“Go quickly to Lumi and replenish the reagents you blew away.”

“…is that really hard? Do I have to stir the pot all night?”

“So do it. If we do it now, it will be over by tomorrow morning.”

“Hey?...

“If you can't do it, double it.”

Francena resolutely sent a wink at this blunt disciple who caused a pupil earthquake.

“I'll do it!”

As it is, Rumie eagerly runs to the studio.

“...I hope that child resembles at least four and a half of that level.”

“She is working on her own. There is no doubt that progress is being made... for sure... for sure.”

Gravel was somewhat speechless.

“More than that, Master? Where have you been?”

“Nothing. The guy you just pierced through. I came to see that master for a while.”

“sorry. Did I miss it by any chance?”

No matter how fair the duel was, it wouldn't have received a good look since it was so excessively put into a dying state.

Gravel quickly apologized to his master.

“Then, to some extent next time,

“No. Never mind. Do it like you do now.”

It wasn't empty talk.

Seriously, Francena was looking rather proud as if she was praising Gralevel's method.

“That’s how you show off your skills. That way, no one will be dissatisfied with you when you are chosen as the next tower owner.”

“....but.”

“I know, Grebel. But this is unavoidable. In order for you to follow the way of your dreams, you must teach them clearly from now on. Who is absolutely right and who is stronger. If not... it will end in an ambiguous way like the present Mage Tower owner.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

As if he had no doubts, Grevel meekly bowed his head and tried to accept the teacher's request.

She is right.

Thanks to her, he has risen to the present state and is now in this position.

“The wizards here are excellent. At that level, it is not easy to die. So don't worry too much.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Francena looked at the disciple who meekly accepted her will as if it were admirable.

“Yes, show others that you are absolutely right and that you are stronger than anyone else. And she smiled expectantly.

“Prove that my theory is more correct than anyone else.

“....ha. It's bloody.”

Unable to overcome the teacher's annoyance, Rumie grumbled as he returned to the workshop and made reagents.

“Anyway, even Master is too much.”

He pursed his lips and fell into thought.
