After succeeding in self-circulation, I decided to move straight to the second step.
Should I say that it is a power that can be possessed without much preparation?
“Multicasting.”
To put it bluntly, it is a technology that comes as a set along with autonomous circulation.
Literally multicasting.
It is a high-level magic technique that can produce multiple magics at the same time.
The title of ‘Mage’ is given from the 7th circle, and the title of ‘Grand Mage’ is given from the 8th circle.
And it is common sense that multi-casting is a skill that can be used only at the level of a mage.
But I am different.
Simultaneous circulation, which is so inconceivable as to be deformed, makes this ‘multi-casting’ possible.
The important thing is that my multi-casting does not discriminate between circles.
Even if you are a 7th circle mage, multicasting is limited to about 3rd circle.
But I have no limits.
“Fire lance.”
“Ice spear.”
As I immediately chanted two 4-circle spells, two spells appeared on my palm at the same time.
“It’s definitely going well.”
As soon as I finished checking, I immediately lifted the spell.
There was no major problem with multicasting itself, but it couldn’t continue for a long time at this point.
The total amount of mana is fatal.
“… … “For now, is the 4th Circle limited to double casting?”
Well, I guess this is enough for now.
Anyway, I confirmed the thing about multicasting. Now that we have successfully introduced autonomous circulation into our bodies, we need to think about other issues.
There was no need to think deeply about what was important.
“… … Eileen Lindell.”
A girl who was the princess of Duke Lindell, an imperial swordsman, and my fiancée.
* * *
– I hate servility.
I remember Eilen’s eyes looking down at me with cold eyes and saying those words.
Basically, I, the human being ‘Mikhail Walpurgis’, have completely changed since I was 23 years old.
My relationship with her happened before I was 23, when I was extremely humble.
at that time… … .
So, the person I am now is in many ways a person who failed to make it back.
In particular, a girl named Eileen was close to the person she hated the most. It was therefore no wonder that she detested her engagement to me.
… … Well, okay.
Unless she didn’t use some stupid tricks.
In any case, my relationship with her before she returned was completely over at this time.
Nothing further happened.
No, it happened once.
One last time.
“Tsk.”
Thinking back to that time, I clicked my tongue briefly and thought about what to do about it.
That’s what I’m thinking about.
– Mikhail, are you there!
A familiar voice came from beyond the door. At that moment, I forgot what I was thinking and mumbled.
“… … father?”
bang!
Before I could finish saying those words, the door suddenly opened and my father came in.
“Yes, it’s me, you bastard.”
“… … .”
Ah, this person is still the same.
* * *
“You made known your indecent behavior!”
My father shouted at me, shaking his handsome beard.
“Yes, I know.”
“Yeah, I don’t know! So now you… … hmm? Wait, what?”
I answered calmly, looking at my father with a puzzled expression.
“I know. I ruined my family’s honor. “You don’t have to say anything more, I know.”
No, this guy?
My father was looking at me with those eyes.
But what can you do?
First of all, it is true that yesterday I ruined my family’s honor.
My father pursed his lips.
“Then you also know that it wouldn’t be surprising if I broke your leg club right now?”
“Oh, I don’t know about that.”
“… … what?”
I spoke quickly, trying to stop my father from breaking my limbs at any moment.
“Just listen first. “Because I didn’t do that without thinking.”

“… … what?”
Ah, a tendon appeared on my forehead.
Just looking at this, it’s the reaction right before I hit my head.
I continued speaking quickly.
“I had a plan.”
“… … “What does that mean?”
To be honest, it’s true that I really wasn’t thinking at the time.
But revealing it is a foolish thing to do.
“Honestly, wasn’t the Duke’s family unilaterally asking us to break off the engagement?”
“It did.”
“I thought that was a bit odd.”
My father stared at me blankly at my words. Then he looked at my head in disbelief and said:
“Did you get hit on the head by the princess and end up wandering around somewhere?”
“I am sane, father.”
“Is that so? “For the first time in a while, seeing you say something I like doesn’t seem normal.”
My father pulled a chair around and sat down.
What I’m saying now is that it really caught my father’s interest.
“Well, it’s true that the duke’s behavior was overly self-righteous. “I’ll hold off on breaking my leg club for a while, so just keep talking.”
“What kind of family is our family? Born an idiot… … No, isn’t it a magic family that has produced many exceptional magicians?”
“yes.”
“But no matter how much of a duke it is, you would unilaterally demand that our family break off the engagement. “Didn’t you cross the line a little too far?”
“Hmm, okay. So, out of frustration, she went to her princess, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and started whining. “Is this it?”
One more tendon grew on my father’s forehead. It means that if you say one wrong thing, I will break off one of my leg clubs.
“I hope you can think of it as one step back to take two steps forward.”
“You have a long tongue.”
“Now, listen. “When we became engaged to Duke Lindell, what were the conditions?”
“I will not learn any mana training methods. In order to create a pure successor, mana of different natures must not be mixed.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
A successor is an important matter.
Especially knights and wizard families who are greatly influenced by bloodline.
Therefore, this ‘promise’ must be kept very strictly.
“But what if I tell you that the princess violated that condition?”
“… … hmm?”
At those words, my father’s expression suddenly became serious. Because this is another problem.
What if I told you that the princess was learning the appropriate training methods to become a ‘knight’ even before she became engaged to me?
The promise was broken.
It is not just a family, but a strict promise between the imperial marquis and the duke.
“… … The Duke family tricked us? “Are you really sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“What is the basis?”
“At first, I went with the intention of protesting. However, I felt something strange about the princess. A sense of heterogeneity. “Her mana surrounding her was very unstable.”
My father’s angry expression changed.
“That’s strange. You noticed something that even I, the Grand Mage of the 8th Circle, didn’t notice? Even you wouldn’t know how absurd that is.”
“of course.”
I didn’t hesitate.
Because I already have a scenario prepared.
“You’re confident. Please continue.
“Not long ago, even though it was only for a short time, I confirmed that her body had been trained with mana.”
“… … hmm?”
It’s a lie.
In the past, I never confirmed anything like that from her, and I just broke off the engagement helplessly.
But that doesn’t matter.
Because I know the ‘truth’.
Therefore, the means of reaching that truth are not important.
“Are you sure?”
“There is only one means that even my father, who is in the 8th circle, will not notice. that… … .”
“… … “An ancient magic tool.”
“Yes, that’s right. The reason I acted that day, even acting unnecessarily, was to confirm that. And guess what, that may have been the very reason why the Duke’s family unilaterally requested an end to the engagement.”
“In other words, the princess noticed something and therefore unilaterally requested an end to the engagement.”
“Yes. After breaking off an engagement, there are as many reasons to talk about it as possible. The Duke family would have needed time to gain ground.”
Although it’s a lie.
But my father seemed to be quite intrigued by what I said.
“The duke tried to deceive us, and we almost got caught in it… … “That’s what you want to say now.”
“It might be hard to believe it.”
There are problems I faced during this period, and my image will never be good… … .
“That’s why I want to prove it with my own hands.”
“If everything you say now is a lie, it is by no means a light matter. “What happened this time was simply to hurt our family’s reputation, but believing what you said and complaining to the dukedom is a completely different matter.”
“I know.”
“Can you handle it?”
My father was looking at me with a completely different mood than before.
The eyes of the head of the empire’s greatest magic master.
“If you really haven’t lied and are confident in what you said, I will believe it.”
“yes.”
“One, if what you said was false… … .”
My father’s enormous mana began to press down on my body.
My knees started to bend.
But I pretended like nothing was wrong and looked at my father.
“I can handle it.”
“If you fail, not only will you be disqualified as your successor, but you will also have to give up the last name Walpurgis. “Will you still do it?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
At my answer, my father closed his eyes tightly. After that, he didn’t say anything for a moment as if he was thinking about it.
“Okay, give it a try.”
It was exactly the answer I wanted.
* * *
“… … Now, wait, what?”
The butler stammered.
“He’s going to the Duke’s house now.”
At my words, the butler was silent for a moment, holding his face.
“Please tell me I’m lying.”
“Yeah, no. It’s true. “I’m going to the Duke’s house now.”
“Oh God.”
The butler looked up at the sky with a truly devastated expression.
His face looked as if he had aged 20 years in an instant.
“What on earth are you going to do?”
“Just protest.”
The butler looked like he didn’t understand what I was saying.
“I only have a bad feeling… … Even so, you have a bad reputation within the family, but if something goes wrong this time, there is no way to turn it back.”
“are you okay.”
Because that won’t happen.
But the butler’s expression still seemed reluctant.
“I trust that you will take care of it, Master. “Then have a nice trip.”
“What are you talking about? Of course, the butler must go with us.”
“… … yes?”
The butler looked at me with an expression that asked what I meant.
“Why am I going?”
“I need a witness. “It’s a butler’s job to take action on matters related to our family.”
“Your Excellency’s permission… … .”
“Of course I already took it.”
At my answer, the butler lowered his head with a pale face.
Haha, it’s okay to pretend like that.
In the first place, he wouldn’t be a person with the courage to be so weak that even a duke would be intimidated.
“… … Oh my, what should I do with this?”
It’s a shame.
