EPISODE.30
Friendly match.
It was a match that was said to be friendly, but in reality, there was no such thing as intimacy or goodness.
But unfortunately, the match did not happen immediately.
I wonder if he has some kind of ulterior motive.
With a plausible reason, Akairum postponed the friendly match schedule for a few days.
The reason wasn’t that great.
‘As many people are curious about my skills, I wish I could compete in a bigger and better place?’
As he left the venue, Russell pondered Akairum’s words in his mind.
‘The match will be held in three days.’
As for the location, we decided to look for a good place over there and then notify it.
At that time, Daria opened her mouth.
“The location that will be chosen will probably be a large dance hall, the Colosseum.”
It was a timing that seemed to guess Russell’s intentions.
When I look at her with a little surprise, Daria shrugs her shoulders.
“Weren’t you thinking about that?”
“That’s true, but… … .”
“You guy. “How many students have I raised? If you pretend, they are pretenders.”
Let’s giggle like that for a while.
She continued, walking in step with Russell.
“Perhaps their goal is to humiliate me by taking you down.”
“Are you going to disgrace your teacher through me?”
The pro-king faction and the anti-communist faction.
Simply because they are opposites of different factions?
Russell tilted his head.
It doesn’t make sense.
However, for some reason, I felt that there was a lack of reason or justification.
The answer came from the mouth of someone other than Daria.
“Blaine, that raccoon old lady is Daria. “I will think that I have lost my place to you.”
An old man with a skinny appearance like an old tree, but with a huge sense of moisture.
It was Hemingway Melville, the owner of the window tower.
He left the venue a little late and followed behind Russell and Daria.
“What is it that takes away my position? I lacked the ability to begin with.”
Daria snorted as she said that, and seemed to agree with what she said.
The owner of the window tower nodded gently.
Did you lose your seat?
What does that mean?
Russell, caught between the two and unable to clearly understand the situation, looked puzzled.
This time, the voice of Hwangtapju and Niccolo Machiavelli was heard.
“haha. Now that I think about it, young wizards of today’s generation don’t really know that story.”
“What is the story? Tower owner?”
In response to Russell’s question, Nicolo glanced at Daria.
Because it was a story that was partly related to her past history.
“Why are you so concerned about it just because it’s such a great story? “It’s a story that hasn’t been published in any book, but most wizards who went through that time know.”
“haha. That’s right, senior. In that case, I dare to explain your story.”
As soon as permission was given, a brief history of Blaine and Daria came out.
“Young wizards of your generation may not know it, but he is a wizard who was considered a strong candidate for the Blaine Trilogy when he was young.”
A wizard who was considered influential.
Although it was amazing, it is a modifier that can only be applied to those who ultimately did not reach that position.
In fact, Daria Snowwhite was also on the top of the Flame Tower.
“That means… … .”
“You guessed right. When Daria appeared, he naturally withdrew as a candidate for Yeomtapju.”
He ended up losing his position as Lord of the Flame Towers to Daria, who was ten years younger than him.
‘Of course, if that were the case, it would have been called Kingdo Jeoktap, not Flame Pagoda.’
That wasn’t what mattered now.
“Are you saying that you are holding a grudge over that and want to bring shame to your teacher?”
“I see. I’m sure I’m old enough to know that putting others down won’t elevate me… … .”
He paused for a moment before shaking his head.
“joy. I’m sure you think that if you look at flaws like that, you’ll be able to take me down from my position as Lord of the Flames one day. “If it were possible, wouldn’t he have been able to use an even better method?”
[The youngest.]
The message magic was conveyed through Daria’s calm voice.
[The authors will promote this friendly match extensively from now on.]
The goal is to get more people to flock to the Colosseum to watch the game.
In this way, they are creating a stage that can bring even greater humiliation to Daria.
[Besides, I don’t know what the basis is, but I guess they decided that defeating Spandom wasn’t entirely your skill.]
Otherwise, there is no way this place would have been created. But-.
[If you think about it, their judgment wasn’t so wrong.]

Daria, who said that, smiled meaningfully and added.
[Because it is a seat, it will be difficult to reveal the secret you are hiding, which you used to defeat Spandom.]
Russell’s shoulders trembled involuntarily at Daria’s words.
But Daria’s words weren’t over yet.
It wasn’t even about digging into or interrogating him about his hidden secret.
[Nevertheless, he is the youngest. Can you win?]
Can you win?
Russell coolly turned his head to his teacher’s question.
I assessed the capabilities of the opponents I saw at the venue and compared them to my own.
The opponent is a wizard who has reached the end of the 4th circle like himself.
‘Besides, it’s not as good as Master-.’
-He was raised by one of the most powerful people in the kingdom when it comes to magic.
As he was older, it was highly likely that he had extensive combat experience.
Not only that, there was a penalty that wasn’t a penalty on this side.
‘Yong In-hwa as well as Cloudy Ling… … . If possible, win without even using spirit magic.’
Nevertheless, Russell was confident.
‘I win.’
He said that he would be the one who won this friendly match.
This is not a simple hunch or groundless bravado.
Above all, he did not have the same feeling as when he had met Alan Page the day before.
Even though the person named Jeron now and Alan Page at the time are in the same state.
‘It’s not just because I’ve become stronger.’
Jeron is nowhere near Alan Page in terms of being a wizard.
Of course, it won’t be that easy.
Because there was a penalty and it was a friendly match.
‘In a situation where we need to suppress rather than kill, means are bound to be limited.’
Close match… … It is a fight that is bound to take some time, if not all.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t picture the outcome of him losing.
Therefore, Russell answered with confidence.
“yes. “You can win.”
At that confident answer, the corners of Daria’s mouth rose up to her earlobes once again.
Hemingway and Nicolo.
He laughed and shouted at the two people.
“Oh my. Take a look at our youngest’s answer. It’s very sharp. Whose disciple is this… … !”
Russell and Zeno.
Daria’s student and Blaine’s student.
It was just three days before the friendly match between the two.
.
.
That night.
A luxury accommodation located in the royal capital.
The meeting between the two was taking place in this place where Blaine and his clique had almost become their home.
It was a meeting between Blaine’s first student, Akairum, and his youngest student, Jeron.
“Okay, how do you feel about seeing the rumored person in person? Priests?”
Jeron answered Akairum’s question.
“Are you telling me what you saw?”
“of course.”
“To be honest, I had doubts about whether the 4th Circle was even right. It certainly seems true that mana was accumulated, but the reality was not clear enough to be seen.”
An illusion created by the nature of Russell’s mana.
So far, only two people have read Russell’s magic.
Among superhumans, only Daria and Hemingway were able to overcome another barrier.
But the two people had no reason to know that far.
“I think so too. However, the rumors are not false, so you should think that he actually has the skills to be at the beginning of the 4th circle. no. “Seeing as he confidently accepted the match, he may be a little past the mid-fourth circle.”
Considering the realm of possibility, it had to be that level to have a certain chance of winning.
At the age of 19, I was in the middle of the 4th circle.
That alone is enough to make him a monster-level talent.
but.
“her. “Honestly, I can’t believe you beat Crazy Spandom with that skill.”
“maybe… … .”
Akairum, who spoke with a faint tone, lightly rubbed his fingertips.
“To give credit to your student, Daria. “The old woman must have been hiding part of the truth.”
“If it’s part of the truth-?”
“For example, Russell Raymond at the time had a very outstanding artifact that he received from Daria.”
and.
“What defeated Spandom was the power of that artifact… … “Something like that?”
Of course, artifacts that could destroy spandom were not that common.
However, the opponent is Daria Snowwhite.
Isn’t he a person who is worthy of being the owner of a tower?
“It wouldn’t be strange at all to have a few of those items.”
“surely. “If you think about it in that context, it makes sense.”
“Don’t worry, priest. “Isn’t that why we intentionally requested a friendly match?”
This means that since it is a friendly match purely based on skill, artifacts cannot be used.
Akairum laughed darkly as he continued speaking.
“What a priest must do, Russell. “You will defeat that brat and take all the credit he has earned.”
The achievement and fame gained by defeating a subspecies of Abomination and Spandom.
If you win this game, both of them will turn towards you.
“I will do my best. execution.”
Jaron grinned and raised the corners of his mouth as he imagined that scene.
He didn’t seem to care about his own defeat at all.
* * *
As expected.
A friendly match between Russell and Jeron.
Rumors related to him quickly spread throughout the capital.
The speed is literally like wildfire spreading.
“So, did you all hear that rumor?”
“If that’s the rumor… … .”
Starting from a small tea time place for noble women.
“There are a lot of interesting rumors about the author these days.”
“Oh, I heard the rumor about the friendly match. “Even so, I tried contacting the Colosseum to reserve good tickets.”
At large, it extends to the large social circles of the royal capital and nobles.
There was no place that was not a hot topic.
It has to be that way.
Russell’s presence in the wizarding world was a supernova that attracted a lot of attention.
Naturally, the attention of not only wizards but also nobles who needed entertainment turned towards the friendly match.
Eventually, the rumor reached the royal palace.
.
Deep inside the royal palace.
One person who had heard the rumor, sitting in the middle of nowhere, muttered as if it was interesting.
“Lord Daria’s disciple, Viscount Russell Raymond.”
Her purple eyes, which she inherited from her mother, shined, and she brushed hair of the exact same color behind her ear.
