Episode 25
EPISODE.13
“Huh.”
A groaning sound.
Russell returned to his room with a groan and threw himself onto the bed as if he was falling apart.
Slurp.
The feel of the blanket, which looks luxurious at first glance, and the feel of the soft bed gently embrace your entire body.
All the things Daria prepared for Russell.
Meanwhile, Russell muttered without realizing it.
“It’s been about a week since then… … .”
How surprised I was when I first received Daria’s offer.
Of course, Russell also noticed that Daria Snowwhite and Daria Snowwhite were interested in and favored him to some extent.
‘If not, then why not a pirate ship… … , they wouldn’t have tried to use the traffickers to test something on me.’
However, I never would have guessed that it was a favor to the point of directly teaching me magic.
It was surprising, but it was also an opportunity.
No matter what anyone says, Daria is one of the best wizards on the entire continent.
The opportunity to receive direct guidance from her was not very common.
There were many wizards who would give not only all their possessions but also their entire lives if they could receive guidance from her.
It was because.
As soon as he recovered his surprise, Russell nodded.
That’s how Daria’s guidance began.
Her teachings were by no means easy to understand.
No, it would be more accurate to call it harsh.
Although magic and theory were limited to low circles, she was one of the best wizards on the continent.
The depth of experience and knowledge that Daria had accumulated was so deep that the current Russell could not dare to measure it.
‘I’m tired.’
It is natural to feel fatigue not only in the physical realm, but also in the mental realm.
In my heart, I wanted to fall asleep like this right away.
Although it was still only evening, I wanted to sleep well until tomorrow morning.
But, nevertheless, Russell turned around.
“Grunt.”
Getting ready to wake up, still remaining.
I thought about the things I had to do in my head.
‘I should review what I did today and prepare for what I will learn tomorrow.’
In addition, I had to train my body using the Overlord and Wizard bodies.
‘After that… … .’
Take a moment to sigh as you think about the schedule that will take your breath away.
Soon Russell stood up.
I got up and changed into light clothes.
‘First, start with moving your body.’
After moving my body a little, my stress would go away and I might feel refreshed.
Hwaak-.
As I step outside into the large garden inside the mansion, the salty wind typical of coastal cities passes by the tip of my nose.
Although only a few days have passed, the wind has become warmer, as if to prove that the season has fully entered summer.
Russell moved his body as he cut through the wind.
As always, the mission window regarding the training of the Overlord and Wizard Body came to mind.
[mission]
A mission that has become so familiar that you don’t even need to check it.
What has changed from when I first thought of it is that the distance to run has increased to 10 km and the number of strength exercises to do has also increased in units of spirit.
Nevertheless, Russell moved his body in silence, without even complaining.
‘Nothing will change if you complain about the mission that came to mind anyway.’
Unlike the first time, I was used to moving my body and training my body.
Pababat-.
I ran through the garden like that for a while.
Russell glanced and moved his eyes.
As he ran, he glanced at the mission contents floating next to him and checked the remaining distance.
‘Is it about 2km?’
So far, I’ve controlled my pace, but I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to sprint the remaining distance.
That moment!
bang-!
After drinking heavily, Russell’s new weapon went into a flash and was shot.
By activating the Overlord and Wizard bodies at the same time, his physical abilities have increased dramatically.
The first time I fought an ice golem, I was so taken aback by its speed.
But not anymore.
Not only can you run in a straight line, but you can also change direction freely, such as zigzagging or turning.
Not only has he become accustomed to his increased physical abilities, but it also proves that he is in complete control of his body.
Russell smiled slightly as he listened to the cool sound of the wind cracking in his ears.
and… … .

“He is a sincere guy.”
There was a gaze watching Russell from a little distance away.
A giggling smile flowing from the end of every word and an appearance like a noble lady.
Incongruously, he was wearing only pajamas and holding a long lollipop in one hand.
It was Daria.
.
.
“He is a sincere guy.”
Daria muttered quietly as she bit into the end of the lollipop.
‘He may be a little lazy, but instead he seems to be scolding himself every time he does that.’
She had begun teaching magic to Russell in earnest over the past week.
Only seven days.
It may have been a long time for some, but it was not that long to see the true character of a person.
However, during that short time, Russell always showed her his hardworking and sincere side.
He was so hard-working and sincere that his attitude did not change even though the intensity of his teachings was increased and the severity increased every day.
Daria liked that about Russell.
‘Those who are merely talented don’t last long.’
Those who really survived were those who had talent but worked hard.
And in Daria’s opinion, Russell had both.
Although the talent on the Mana Road side seemed to be below average.
‘It looks like he found his own way. ‘No need to worry.’
I have no intention of inquiring about the method.
Every wizard has some hidden magic or arcane magic.
However, if there is one questionable point… … .
‘It must be the inexplicable growth rate that cannot be explained with only a sincere attitude, a self-discovered solution, and excellent intellect.’
Wasak-.
Feeling the sweetness of the bitten lollipop fill her mouth, Daria opened her eyes tentatively.
As an archmage of the 8th circle, her talent was so outstanding that it far surpassed the criminal’s knowledge.
If we were to look purely at talent, even Russell today is nothing compared to her.
However, despite this, Russell’s growth rate was comparable to or even faster than that of her when she was three years old.
‘He must be hiding something more.’
There is no explanation otherwise. That’s why Daria smiled.
Who would have thought that the new disciple he received in his old age would not only provide fun teaching, but would also stimulate his interest as a magician.
“Anyway, it’s a charming little logo that attracts attention.”
She soon ate all the candy and started giggling.
As I finished my sprint, I glanced at Russell, who was beginning strength training, and then turned around.
“… … “Then let’s go back soon.”
Just as Russell was previewing and reviewing what he had learned from her, it was also time for her to prepare what she would teach Russell tomorrow.
* * *
Big love, big love, big love!
The grandfather clock in the center of Maldiva city rang loudly, announcing 10 p.m.
It was also the end of the Overlord and Wizard Body training.
At that time, someone appears in the garden where Russell was training.
It was Io, an elf with silver hair and grayish irises.
“Are you finished? “A benefactor?”
She appeared as if she had been waiting and asked, and Russell nodded.
“yes.”
After using Clean to blow away any dirt and dust, and using Wind to blow away the smell of sweat.
The door to the spirit world was opened.
It’s a disaster.
“Purrrrrrr!”
A flame lizard with wings that seemed to have been waiting. Salamander Pepper appeared from the spirit world to the material world.
What follows after physical training is Io’s elemental arts class.
In fact, Io was unfamiliar with elemental arts, so Io willingly accepted his request if she could teach him some elemental arts before leaving.
Io smiles brightly as she sees Pepper appear.
“Now, you are quite familiar with opening the door to the spirit world.”
“It’s probably thanks to the passage of time.”
When I first contracted with a spirit, I wasn’t used to the feeling, so it took a while to summon it.
But now, that action feels as comfortable as changing clothes or opening a book.
Even while studying, I repeatedly opened the door and summoned Pepper whenever I had time.
“Then me too… … .”
With those short words, the wind became noisy.
Next, something in the shape of a small, translucent fairy appears.
Sylph, a lesser spirit of wind.
Io, who had summoned the Sylph, said with a slightly expectant look in her eyes.
“You probably didn’t forget that today is the last evaluation day. “A benefactor?”
Tomorrow, when the escort arrives, is the day Io leaves.
Therefore, today is the day to finally review what I have learned.
“of course.”
At the same time that Russell responded briefly, the two spirits moved quickly.
Hwa-Rak, Hwi-Ryu-Ryu-Ryu!
The flame seemed to swallow the wind, but the wind blew away the oxygen and erased the traces of the flame.
The two spirits roamed throughout the garden and clashed repeatedly.
Every time, sparks flew in all directions.
Of course, no major problems arose.
Before I knew it, another Sylph summoned by Io was able to put out the spark before it spread to the garden.
‘I don’t know about his overall capabilities, but when it comes to his capabilities as a spiritist, Io is several times superior.’
Meanwhile, Russell felt his magic flowing into Pepper and slowly began to communicate with him.
The magic of the spirits is used by consuming the summoner’s magical power.
What was needed to coordinate it was the ability to commune and communicate with spirits.
‘If you can’t communicate with the spirits… … .’
There was a possibility that a spirit that failed to consider the summoner’s situation would consume excessive magical power.
Hwarak, Hwiryuryu!
Just seven nights.
Is it because we have continued to communicate and communicate, even if it was only for a short period of time?
In the midst of spitting out flames, I could feel Pepper continuing to be aware of herself.
Physical strength, magical power, situation, and emotional burden are all being taken care of.
‘it’s fine now.’
Russell could also read the guy’s thoughts, so he nodded.
Even stronger magical power was blown towards Pepper.
Grumble!
As if in response, intense flames bloom along Pepper’s entire body.
Io soon noticed this and smiled.
The sylphs were summoned by clapping their hands together.
After lightly patting their heads, he sent them back to the spirit world and said.
“I passed. “Benefactor.”
“Thanks to Io for your great help. “We have only just taken the first step.”
“no. “It’s important to take that first step.”
Io waved her index finger at Russell’s words.
“A spiritist who does not try to understand and communicate with spirits and only sees them as summons may have talent, but there can be no development. “No matter how many times I emphasize this fact, it is not enough.”
In any case, this means that communion and communication with spirits is that important.
“Anyway, teachings for the past week. Thank you very much.”
Since today was the last day, Russell once again bowed his head deeply and expressed his gratitude.
Io waved his hand.
Russell stood up with a shocked expression on his face.
“Well, don’t do that. benefactor. “If you think about the blessings we have received, this is only a very small amount.”
He then bowed his head once again in his direction.
“Rather, no matter how many times we express our gratitude to you two, it is not enough for us. “Benefactor.”
Therefore, I repeat that the White Ash Tree Tribe will never forget this favor.
“If we break up tomorrow, I don’t know when we will meet again… … “I hope that until that day, your path ahead will be filled with the blessings of the forest.”
In human terms, it’s a greeting like ‘Good luck.’
“May the blessings of the forest fill Io and the White Ash Tree Tribe.”
Russell also seemed to respond with an elven expression.
.
next day.
Together with the guards sent from the Flame Tower, the elves, including Io, left Daria’s mansion.
.
.
And after that, a month.
In front of Russell, who was living a daily life no different from any other day.
A new mission came to mind.
