EPISODE.20
Alan Page.
Among the wizards who lived in the same era as Russell, is there anyone who does not know his name?
Alan Page was a famous magician, enough to raise such questions.
‘It has to be that way.’
The name Alan Page first became known in the magic world about a year after he graduated from the academy.
It was when he became the youngest disciple of the Spear Tower master at a local magic tower and was called up to the Spear Tower.
Up to this point, it is a similar case to Russell.
No, strictly speaking, it was a little later than Russell.
That’s because Russell became Daria’s student before he even graduated from the academy.
It was a few years later that his genius really began to be highlighted.
As the youngest disciple of Changtapju, he appeared like a comet and became a hot topic, as if to prove his own genius.
He held the title of youngest Circle 6 mage.
‘At the age of only 30, the giraffe of the window tower rose to the 6th circle.’
He was a person who attracted a lot of attention.
If you didn’t know him like that, it would be strange.
However, if you ask whether his current level is 6th circle, it would not be true.
He reached the 6th circle at the age of 30.
Now that I have returned to the past through time regression, I still have a few years left until that age.
‘I’m guessing late in the 4th circle. If a little more time passes, we will be able to achieve the 5th circle.’
Even though we were in the same 4th circle, there was a significant difference in skill between him and me.
A typical East Circle wizard would have been confident that Russell himself would not be pushed back or would be overpowered, but his opponent was Alan Page.
He was the genius that was rumored.
You can feel the strong flow of magical power.
‘It feels like I’m facing an iceberg.’
For a moment, I could guess his strength through the felt flow of magical power.
For a moment, Russell’s face stiffened slightly with tension.
To him, Alan Page was not just a celebrity.
Although they had never met in person, the wizard named Alan Page could be said to be the object of Russell’s admiration.
‘Unlike me, who was busy surviving day after day, this person was like a star shining brightly in the sky.’
The object of such admiration is now standing in front of him.
Even while offering a handshake.
Although it is not completely on an equal level. Still, it can be said that we are on the same stage.
Somehow, I felt a new emotion.
It was then.
How did Alan Page react to his name flowing out of Russell’s mouth?
“Do you know me?”
For a moment, Russell grinned at that remark.
Among the memories related to him, I picked out one piece of information that could be quite useful in the current situation.
“of course. Seniors.”
“Seniors?”
“yes. I also graduated from Walker Hill Academy like you. “We never went to school together, but I often heard rumors about my senior from professors.”
When he heard the word Walkerhill Academy, he reacted with ‘Ah.’
It was difficult to read his exact emotions because his eyes were as thin as thread, but he seemed to roughly understand it.
“Come to think of it, Lord Russell was also a graduate of Walkerhill Academy. “I never thought he would meet his junior like this.”
Not only as a wizard, but even though I found out that he was a senior at the academy, he was still an engineering student.
He shook his palm lightly.
“They are called the Spear Tower and the Flame Tower, but they are the same Kingdo Tower, so you might encounter them often.”
It was the same hand that had been extended for a handshake.
“Then, please take care of me in the future. “Junior.”
“Please take care of me too. Seniors.”
When Russell held his hand, Alan smiled slightly. A smile with a hint of embarrassment.
Today was the first time we met face to face.
Therefore, it was not possible to make an accurate judgment.
However, despite this, I had a feeling that it would not be a bad relationship.
‘I don’t think there were any scandals even before the regression.’
Unlike the two who ended their greetings in such a warm atmosphere, it was as if they were enemies.
There were two people growling at each other.
“No matter how objectively I judge it, it is an unchangeable fact that my student’s skills are superior, but I never thought you would admit it. You have become very shameless without me noticing it. “Daria.”
“joy. It’s probably the old man who can’t understand what’s being said. “I think I’ve said several times that your disciple is in his twenties, while my disciple is still in his teens.”
They were Daria Snowwhite, Russell’s teacher, and Hemingway Melville, Allen’s teacher.
Whose student has greater talent?
The conversation between the two, which started with a very controversial topic, had long since turned into a battle of pride between the two great wizards.
“This is true. sorry. Junior. “My teacher is not that kind of person normally, but he shows that kind of side whenever he meets Lord Flametap.”
Alan muttered with an embarrassed expression.
Nevertheless, seeing that the answer was quite familiar, it seems that this was not the first time this situation had happened.
‘Well, there must be one or two anecdotes related to the relationship between the Lord of the Window Tower and the Master.’

The story of the two people who had been competing since their days at the academy was so famous that no one in the kingdom knew about it.
The argument continues like this and doesn’t seem to end for a while.
“good. Then let’s do it like this.”
As if to put an end to the argument, Hemingway proposed.
“… … ?”
“Seven years. If your disciple completely catches up with my disciple within 7 years, then I will give you one of the relics from the Age of Gods that I have. “How is it?”
Upon hearing that it was a relic from the Age of God, Russell and Alan both looked puzzled.
It had to be that way.
‘It’s a relic from the Age of God.’
relic
In general, it is a word that means something old that has been left to future generations by previous generations of humans.
However, in the wizarding world, this word was used with a slightly more special meaning.
The meaning in the general category does not change, but it is a little more specific than that.
‘Artifact.’
Magical items left behind by previous humans were relics.
Among them, when it comes to relics from the Age of Gods, it literally refers to items from the Age of Myths.
‘The Age of Myth.’
Before the twilight, the end of the gods, began, a time when gods and transcendents still walked on this earth.
The traces left on this world by the transcendents of that era.
That was a relic from the Age of God.
Did you say that even the smallest and weakest thing has power equivalent to that of the 7th Circle?
Each and every one of them was an object with a value equivalent to a national treasure.
It feels too excessive to offer it as a mere betting prize.
“Master. You don’t need to… … .”
So, just as Alan was trying to stop his teacher. Faster than that.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve heard a proposal that I like.”
Daria giggled and fired back.
Contrary to the smiling corners of his mouth, sparks burst out in his eyes.
“Similarly, if Russell can’t catch up with his disciple within 7 years, then I can just hand over a relic from the Age of God, right?”
An expression of the will that neither side will easily back down.
Russell and Ellen looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.
Regardless, the bet between the two teachers had already come to fruition.
“good. “Go back later and don’t say anything else.”
Then, as if it had been decided, Hemingway got up from his seat.
As if everything he had to say was over, he flapped his robe and left Daria’s office.
“What are you doing? “Why don’t you come out too?”
urged Alan, who was still looking at Russell and Daria alternately with a perplexed expression.
At that urging, Alan smiled bitterly and lowered his head.
“Okay then, let’s go back now. “Lord Flametap.”
He turned to say hello to Daria.
I muttered lightly as I passed by Russell.
“I look forward to seeing you often in the future. “Junior.”
* * *
Hemingway asked as he exited the Flame Tower, a spiral-shaped building made of red bricks.
“What was it like seeing the rumored child in person?”
Alan answers his teacher’s question firmly without any hesitation.
“It’s strong.”
Sincerity without even the slightest worry.
But that didn’t seem to be what his teacher wanted.
“Who asked who is strong and weak?”
He thought for a moment about his teacher’s true intentions, but then after refining his thoughts, he opened his mouth again.
“If we were to fight as enemies, we would win, but I’m not sure. It seemed like there was something hidden. and… … .”
“and?”
“Even if he couldn’t hide it, it was clear that he was an opponent who couldn’t let down his guard.”
Assuming you don’t have any hidden numbers, if you fight, you will win with a probability of about eight to two.
But even so, when I heard that I was actually going into battle, I felt a chill on the back of my neck.
The feeling of having several sharp fangs pointed at the end of one’s neck.
Although there were only a few, it was clear that they could cause fatal injuries.
“If I let my guard down, I think I’ll get eaten.”
Russell was only nineteen years old, four years younger than himself.
But it’s already like that.
Even though he himself was called a genius, he was still impressed.
Did you like Alan’s answer?
A ray of smile passed over Hemingway’s old-tree-like face.
“I’m glad you think that way.”
“yes?”
“It would be better to have competition than not have competition. “It was worthwhile to attend this event even though I clearly knew his intentions.”
“That means… … .”
Alan, who had been listening to his teacher’s story, carefully spoke.
Depending on how you interpret it, it was a remark that could be said to have been taken advantage of by his teacher today.
If those remarks reach Yeomtapju’s ears-.
‘I’m sure you’ll be angry.’
It is said that she became more elegant as she got older and took on the position of tower owner, but when she was younger, she was truly evaluated as a sparkling person.
Hemingway clicked his tongue, as if to tell his student that his worries were unfounded.
“Tsk. Don’t worry. “That old lady also called me with the same thoughts.”
They say that they created this place today for each other’s students.
Only then did Alan understand the situation and lightly exclaimed.
“ah!”
However, the teacher’s words were not over yet.
“Even so, a bet is a bet. Rather than simply using it as a stimulant, we must make every effort not to be caught up.”
Isn’t it a waste to give away a relic from the Age of God?
Alan shook his head at his teacher’s words.
“I’ll keep that in mind. “Master.”
He also had no intention of being easily caught up.
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t covet the relic from the Age of God on which the bet was made, but that wasn’t the only reason.
‘If you catch up with your junior quickly, you will lose face as a senior.’
Thinking like that, Alan turned his head.
As we walked while talking, we stared at the top floor of the Flame Tower, which was a bit far away.
‘Russell, Russell Raymond.’
The name of a genius born from an old, now half-forgotten inscription related to the founding myth of the kingdom.
I thought about it over and over again.
