Chapter 90

Private Lesson

‘Void Magic Tower.’

The Void Magic Tower was the magic tower that was in charge of space among the 4 magic towers the First Mage first erected.

That was a story that now remained as a legend.

To think of what did not come out no matter how much looking during the Information Bureau appearing like this—.

‘Well came to the North.’

“······How do you know the karma magic? The Karma Magic Tower would have burned and disappeared long ago?”

The fox mask’s reaction was quite sharp. It seemed the karma magic is heavier than thought.

“Received as a gift.”

“Absurd sound!”

“Isn’t the Void Magic Tower that fell into the void also like this?”

At Galahad’s pointing the fox mask made an eudeudeuk— sound. The action was really like a fox. A fox one does not know where it will bounce—.

“Speak where obtained.”

The fox mask said in a lowered voice. Still nothing was felt from the fox mask. Because of the mask the guy’s gaze was also not seen.

Roughly guessing—.

‘Looking at the head.’

Is it the thought of flying the head—. Galahad slightly turned hellfire.

“Didn’t I say. Received as a gift.”

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

[Trash. What rude sound is that. How hard I obtained.]

Although a bizarre relic engraved on stone not a magic book, how severe the damage at first thought it was trash.

Even Galahad had to hold for quite a long time degree. If not the Information Bureau, that interpretation would also have been difficult.

Eventually learned hellfire, but it was not particularly useful magic.

What Galahad needed during the agent days was fast and quiet magic.

Although hellfire’s power was certain, the speed was too slow and the concentration entering was also considerable. Not a particularly good magic as an agent.

Because of that during the agent days it was not a particularly preferred magic.

Galahad slightly held out hellfire. The fox mask convulsed and stepped back. Galahad noted that unusual reaction.

“Fearing hellfire.”

“Crazy—. Holding out hellfire, not fearing is strange!”

The fox mask shouted sharply. Although natural words in a way, the opponent was the fox mask who moves space as one pleases.

There was no way such slow hellfire would become a risk.

The fox mask unnecessarily stepped back walking. It was a reaction opposite to moving space excitedly until just now.

That—.

“Ah, that was it.”

Hellfire burned everything.

Literally everything.

For example—.

“Also burns space. Because of that reluctant to use space magic around here.”

At Galahad’s words the fox mask stopped with a tuk—. There was no particular reaction.

“Funny sound.”

Around hellfire largely undulated. At that hellfire roughly shook. The undulation became a little stronger.

“Hmm?”

The fox mask tilted its head.

The undulation became even rougher. Hellfire largely shook.

Hellfire’s size became a little smaller.

The fox mask openly clicked its tongue.

“This is not hellfire?”

The fox mask’s head bent to the opposite side.

“Hellfire is not this small. From the beginning does not get pushed to this degree—. From the beginning there is no way a mage would use hellfire?”

The fox mask’s words gradually became faster. Soon the fox mask’s head stopped with a tuk—.

“It is hellfire I made.”

“So directly revised?”

“Rather than revision it is restoration.”

Ha! the fox mask laughed sharply.

“Speechless. Although not knowing how obtained the karma’s trace, implemented hellfire from there—? It seems becoming the First Mage.”

“Sorry but, I am young.”

The fox mask’s laughter stopped with a tuk. Silence briefly flowed. Galahad’s nape cooled.

“You, what on earth?”

In the fox mask’s voice unlike before there was not even one laughter.

“Didn’t I say. Special Mission Unit Captain Galahad. Memory is not good.”

The fox mask did not laugh this time.

“Yes, did interest arise a bit?”

“Interest? Ha!”

The fox mask largely snorted.

“Does it seem the karma magic would be interest level? You, not knowing what act you did now.”

“So—.”

Galahad cut the fox mask’s words.

“Will you exchange?”

Silence briefly continued. Galahad calculated while looking at the fox mask’s black part.

Hellfire also burned space. If twisting first push hellfire into a place where that gaze might head.

Then, the fox mask snorted.

“Fun. However—.”

Around hellfire undulation roughly rose. Hellfire precariously shook. That heat thinned.

Mana twisted, at that a moan flowed around Galahad’s mouth.

Soon—.

“A bit arrogant.”

Hellfire disappeared.

The twisting of mana rushed Galahad. The body largely staggered. Galahad held the gold rod and set the center.

‘Amazing. Space magic—.’

Continuously bursting dry cough he examined the fox mask.

“Well fine. If that degree one can be arrogant. But this is not something one can learn because teaching. Even if learning—.”

Sneer was full in the fox mask’s voice.

“That side who is human cannot endure.”

The fox mask slowly turned. Did not stop at ninety degrees and softly turned one circle.

“Flexible.”

At Galahad’s praise the fox mask stopped with a tuk—.

The deep abyss located in the mask’s eye part stared at Galahad.

Galahad lowered his head, and brought close. Faced the deep abyss without avoiding and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Afraid I might learn? This.”

A very brief silence continued.

Put. the fox mask softly laughed.

“Continuously doing childish provocation.”

Then, burning pain was felt from the shoulder. A small hole was pierced in the shoulder.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The pill of pain violently trembled. That fear spread.

Galahad recalled the pain just now. Although a moment, clearly felt from the surface. It was not that space was simply deleted.

“Ah, yes, I will give an opportunity.”

“Opportunity?”

“Because one cannot just leave the ruler. I will give a legitimate opportunity to compete. After the sun rises ten times.”

Anyway thinking of processing the ruler, yet even guiding the path directly—. can one be this kind. Galahad nodded.

“Even guiding the path? Quite kind.”

The fox mask paused for a moment and continued the words.

“Even if hiding behind the Grand Duke or Adrianne it is useless. It only becomes quite annoying. Because being beside that does not mean one cannot touch.”

The fox mask was already five steps behind at some point.

‘Since erased hellfire using space magic again.’

Galahad recalled what just seen.

Then, the fox mask raised its hand with a flash.

“Why did you take that?”

The fox mask asked while pointing at Galahad’s gold rod.

“It is a souvenir.”

At Galahad’s light answer the fox mask roughly laughed.

“As expected fun.”

The fox mask disappeared as is. Like when appeared there was no trace at all.

Galahad sprinkled mana again. The fox mask was not in the place.

Only after confirming that he burst rough breath. Strength released in the legs. Leaned on the gold rod so as not to collapse.

Because forcefully raised hellfire, a sense of exhaustion fully rose.

Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth with a trembling hand. Lemon scent deeply spread.

The boiling mana only then stabilized a little. Galahad deeply drank the cigarette and recalled the fox mask just seen.

The guy wearing the fox mask, the guy was clear a mage on the Void Magic Tower side.

If not that, there was no way one could use space magic.

The problem—.

‘Not a mage but a demon race.’

The ability the guy uses was closer to authority than magic. Yet it was not authority.

That exactly—.

‘The feeling of adding magic to authority.’

Galahad’s eyes sank.

It was clear Void Magic Tower origin. Yet a demon race—. somewhat did not make sense.

Because a mage guy became a demon race.

The magic tower the First Mage humanity’s worst traitor erected, that magic tower’s mage becoming a demon race—.

‘Not a good feeling.’

Galahad long spit smoke.

What is important now was not the guy’s identity.

To Galahad the space magic the guy showed was more important than the guy’s identity.

The fox mask said it is not a kind one can learn because teaching. That would be sincerity. Because of that one would have unfolded openly.

Space magic was primitive magic of the early days.

Current magic as the guy’s words was magic ‘revised’ matching humans.

Since matched the demon race’s to humans, power had no choice but to drop. Instead that stability and utilization became higher—.

It might be difficult for a current mage to learn primitive magic. No, it would be difficult to the extent close to impossible.

However, it was Galahad who already restored hellfire.

To such Galahad showing five times, it was no different from private lesson.

There were quite many clues. The earlobe and shoulder’s hole, along with that even hellfire—.

‘Kind.’

Magic left traces. Even if the guy’s space magic is close to authority, traces have no choice but to remain.

Traces left on the body were more effective. It was the reason Galahad prefers experimenting directly on his own body.

‘Huu—.’

Galahad tightly clenched his teeth and put a finger into the pierced hole.

Terrible pain rushed. The mind became even sharper. Galahad slowly moved the mana contained in the finger and examined the trace.

The wound was clean. Exactly as if really erased space—.

Galahad did not give up and concentrated on that wound. Recalled when hellfire disappeared. The common point between the two—.

‘It was air.’

In magic air was a medium role. It was hard to imagine that air has an attribute.

However, now there was clear evidence.

Galahad’s thoughts continuously turned.

‘How?’

Continuously gauged. Imagined. Calculated.

And—.

Derived.

‘Like this.’

Galahad flicked his finger.

A little away space slightly twisted.

Although only a very small crack in the moment—.

It was a clear twist.

‘This was it.’

The corners of Galahad’s mouth deeply rose.

****

‘Why no contact?’

Palho tore his nails in anxiety.

The number of gathered mages was quite many.

Mages that personality was eccentric. No, there was no choice. Mages who came to the North are guys pushed from the center. Since such guys gathered problems had no choice but to arise.

The number of mercenaries the mages brought was also considerable. As mages and mercenaries combined the number was considerable.

It was a level threatening even to the 7th Battalion.

Yet the reason the mages stay still was simple.

‘Because cannot trust other mages.’

It was worrying about the back of the head. From the beginning mages were selfish kinds who only know themselves.

If only no particular matter one would be able to endure a bit more.

‘Yes, what matter would arise.’

Then—.

“Big··· big matter occurred!”

The subordinate’s urgent report came up. Palho felt a subtle anxiety.

“The mages are moving to the Magic Realm training site!”

“Moving? It would not be the time yet?”

“That······.”

At the subordinate’s reluctant reaction Palho furrowed his eyes.

“Speak quickly.”

“Branch Head Cortn secretly opened the 7th Battalion’s main gate···.”

“Secretly opening?”

“Branch Head Cortn saying cannot do more stupid pickaxe work took the mages and headed to the 7th Battalion. Because today’s entrance charge is Cortn already passed the main gate and heading to the Magic Realm training site—.”

At the continued report Palho’s face fully furrowed.

‘Cortn! This trash-like guy! Eventually causing an accident!’

An opportunity to become Society Head arose, yet saying pickaxe work is disliked and charging taking the gathered mages—. how trash-like a guy is this!

However, felt a subtle sense of incongruity.

No matter how Cortn was in charge, there was no way the 7th Battalion Captain would have left still?

Although the gathered number was quite, if fighting sandwiching the castle one would not be pushed like this.

The speed was too fast. Exactly as if opened the door—.

‘Ah, it would be Galahad.’

It was clear Galahad separately gave an order.

Probably said open wide like last time. That reason was obvious.

‘Anyway these guys cannot use magic in Magic Realm though?’

Magic Realm’s mana density was high to the extent one cannot compare with the North.

Mana always flowed from a low density place to a high density place. If the density is excessively high like Magic Realm, the magic’s mana rather scatters.

It was clear nine out of ten mages would not be able to use magic in Magic Realm.

Would there be something as useless as a mage who cannot use magic.

The problem—.

‘···Cortn would also know this though?’

Palho seriously admired.

*

“Follow meee!”

Cortn shouted raising his voice. Behind that mages were full.

So many mages following one’s own command! Cortn felt an indescribable thrill.

At the words of covering Society Head with mana stone Cortn also diligently did pickaxe work at first.

In the middle of that Cortn realized an important fact.

What oneself wanted was not a fair opportunity but—. fast and convenient success!

‘Want to succeed without effort!’

However, the changed system that was impossible.

To become Society Head one had to diligently sweat. A very vicious system.

At that an opportunity finally came to Cortn who was appealing pain. Fully gathered mages, increasing conflicts and sharply opposing desires!

‘The time has come!’

Cortn fed a bribe and pulled the soldiers. The soldiers who were so prickly usually lightly stepped back. Even the company commanders moved.

It was evidence that Cortn’s plan was perfect.

Soon arrived at the Magic Realm training site. Although the place where security is usually the strictest today there was not even one security.

“Why this sloppy. Isn’t this a trap?”

A small question burst from behind. It was a mercenary the mage brought. Cortn did not care.

Because a mage would not hold a question or something the moment seeing Magic Realm.

Actually the mages far from stopping ran faster.

Entered the Magic Realm training site. The mages each burst different exclamations. Some guy knelt and kissed the ground.

Cortn stood confidently at the very front.

“I led you to this place! If a mage one would be feeling! This place’s power! That possibility! Believe me and follow!”

There was no expected reaction. The mages were all busy being moved.

At that the moment Cortn tried to speak again—.

“Close the door.”

A short order was heard. The castle gate roughly closed.

At some point naked soldiers were surrounding their surroundings. Men with only weapons dangling on the waist. Naked men surrounding was considerable pressure.

Even that opponent was the company commanders. Behind that there was even the captain—.

‘Why are the 7th Battalion company commanders here?’

Those company commanders were perverts who roll with bare body in the Magic Realm training site every day. That skill needed no words.

However—.

“Our number is more! I will show the greatness of magic!”

Cortn shouted bravely. It was Society Head-like spirit.

The problem—.

“Huh? Mana does not move—.”

“This··· this degree of thick density. There is no way one can use magic!”

“It is a trap! Trap! Damn! Which guy—.”

It was the point that mages cannot use magic.

‘Aha! It was so! My god!’

Cortn belatedly realized. In high mana density one could not use magic!

Then—.

“It was excellent acting.”

The company commander patted Cortn’s shoulder.

‘···Acting?’

Cortn who tilted his head for a moment soon straightened his chest with a jjuk—.

“Hahaha! Stupid guys! All fell for my scheme!”

Sincerity was full in Cortn’s voice.
