Episode 63
EPISODE.32
Kwagwagwagwa-!
With a burst of drinking, Jeron’s body flew away like a pendulum with a broken string.
thud!
He crashed into the wall of the Colosseum and slid down.
I rolled on the floor in a bad way. He looked like he had completely fainted, with his eyes closed and his mouth foaming.
Of course he wouldn’t have died.
The explosion power was reduced by retrieving the spear that had been extended at the last moment.
Even so, it would not have been possible to avoid the shock of shaking the circle and shaking the internal organs.
‘Even if I take the potion, I’ll have to recuperate for at least a month.’
Russell, who was thinking like that, frowned for a moment.
‘Ugh.’
He frowned and stared at his wrist.
Throbbing and throbbing pain.
The fatigue that had accumulated while improving the magic here and there was relaxing and came back half a beat later.
‘The ligaments may have stretched a little.’
Thinking like that, Russell sighed briefly.
I gently massaged my wrist to relieve the pain.
‘Still, the battle ended sooner than expected.’
This probably means that the effect of the improved blaze lance was that good.
‘In terms of firepower itself, the original version is superior, but in terms of piercing, crushing, and exploding, the improved version is superior.’
If you can take advantage of both, that might be the perfect Blaze Lance.
Thinking like that, Russell pressed his temples.
This time it was a migraine.
‘Well, I guess it’s natural.’
The formula was adjusted and converted several times during the battle.
Russell laughed bitterly.
Immediately after, Nicolo opened his mouth.
“haha. The circle is a little shaken and the inside is damaged, but it’s not a problem. “He was simply knocked unconscious.”
He said that while checking the condition of the collapsed Jeron.
He approached Russell.
“The decision has been made.”
The voice was amplified using magic so that everyone could hear.
“The winner of today’s friendly match is Russell Raymond.”
[You have completed the mission. Compensation will be paid.]
[As compensation… … .]
Russell raised his head as he heard Nicolo’s voice declaring victory and the notification.
What’s so busy?
Blaine and Akairum’s group were seen hurriedly leaving the Colosseum.
It’s like the people who tried to use him to harm his teacher are running away as if they were running away.
Better than I thought…
‘It’s quite a sight to see.’
This is how the friendly match between Russell and Geron, a story that once heated up the royal capital, came to an end.
The result was, of course, Russell’s win.
What remained was for the process of the confrontation and its results to once again heat up the royal capital as a new topic of conversation.
* * *
After leaving the duel arena, Russell headed straight to the players’ waiting room.
It was to change into new clothes prepared in advance.
Although he was not particularly injured, his clothes were a mess due to the sparks and the aftereffects of magic.
“hmm.”
After putting on his new clothes, Daria was waiting for him at the entrance.
“Are you here?”
Eyes filled with pride and pride.
Standing next to Daria was Vermilion, the first executioner.
“Good job. Priests.”
He patted Russell’s back with his large hand, like a cast iron pan.
Is this a compliment or is it an infliction of pain?
The good news is that it didn’t hurt as much as when it first happened, thanks to constant training of my body.
“… … thank you execution.”
Two steps.
Russell slightly bowed his head as he quietly left Vermilion’s vicinity.
‘As for Hubert’s death… … . It looks like you couldn’t come.’
I said I would try to come up late by carriage if possible, but I can’t help it if I’m busy with work.
Because it was final exam period.
It was a busy time for the academy professors.
Afterwards, Daria opened her mouth.
After sweeping Russell’s entire body, he spoke.

“Fortunately, it looks like there are no injuries.”
It was a voice filled with a hint of relief.
It had to be that way, because she was Russell’s teacher.
Even though I was sitting in the audience and watching the overwhelming victory, I couldn’t help but feel worried.
Of course, there would be no wound that could escape the eyes of a superhuman-level strongman.
However, even though she knew that, she felt like she had thrown a child into the water, and there was nothing she could do about it.
‘I guess this is the heart of a parent.’
To her, who had no children, all three students were like her own children.
Because he could feel her feelings, at least to some extent, Russell answered in a firm voice.
“I don’t think the person who taught me trained me to be so weak that I could get injured over something like this.”
It was also said to ease Daria’s worries.
“It’s a joke.”
Fortunately, the words worked.
Daria sighed and laughed.
He stretched out his fingertips and gently and lightly touched Russell’s hair.
Shhh.
A sharp wind flows through the hand.
Square, square-.
The wind that flowed in had completely cut off the ends of my hair.
These were parts that had been scorched by flames and gave off a musty smell.
She giggled as she looked at the hair that had fallen to the floor.
“I guess I need to raise my level of training even higher.”
I’m sure it’s a joke, but why does it give me chills so much?
Russell, who unconsciously felt chills as he recalled the intensity of Daria’s training, shivered.
Daria, who was laughing meaningfully as if she found the sight very interesting, immediately clapped her hands.
match-.
“But before that. “For now, let’s celebrate our victory today.”
Even if not, a little while ago.
This was after contacting Flame Tower and telling them to prepare for the party.
Preparations would have been roughly completed by the time they arrived.
Blaine.
Considering that the old man’s stomach was twisted, I felt like I should slaughter at least a cow today.
* * *
Contrary to the initial thought that it would be small, the scale of the celebration party was much larger than expected.
‘I never would have thought that most of the people in Flame Tower would attend the celebration party.’
1st and 2nd place.
As Blaine considered Daria to be his nemesis or rival, the relationship between the Antigol Red Tower and the Flame Tower led by him was not very good.
It wasn’t an enemy where they were overtly hostile to each other, but the relationship was one in which each felt uncomfortable and competed with the other.
Is it because of that?
Upon hearing the news of Russell’s victory over Xeron, most of the Flame Tower’s members came to congratulate him.
‘Thanks to you, I think I drank about 50 glasses of alcohol… … .’
If I hadn’t used my magic power to expel the alcohol, I would have definitely become insanity.
‘The strong alcohol probably also played a role.’
Russell returned home, thankful for his drinking capacity, and sank into the chair.
“Whoa-.”
He let out a long breath and shook his head.
It was a day full of tiring events. Normally, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had slept stretched out like he normally was.
‘I can’t do that today.’
There was still work to be done.
smart-.
After a while, a knock was heard.
The manor’s servant came in with what Russell had asked for.
“This is the honey water you requested. “Wizard.”
“-thank you.”
As I drank half of the honey water, a warm feeling spread throughout my body.
Feeling his mind becoming clearer, Russell adjusted his posture and sat down.
I took out a neatly written piece of paper from my pocket and placed it on the desk.
It was a mission order.
A mission order with the Flame Tower’s seal.
I received the instructions from Daria near the end of the party.
‘It’s the last task.’
Russell slowly closed his eyes.
I once again recalled the story I had with Daria at that time.
.
.
“This is the final task.”
Russell paused as he spoke while handing over the instructions.
“yes?”
It’s the last time.
Of the four tasks promised, only two have now been solved.
There were still two tasks left.
But it’s the last time.
Daria looked at Russell’s questioning expression with a happy smile.
“I only solved two tasks, so why is it the last one? “You must be thinking that way, right?”
He tipped the drink he was holding in his hand and explained the reason.
“It’s amazing that I defeated Spandom, and also… … .”
Defeating an Expedition-level Auror trainee, especially Spandom, who was not a half-baby, was a worthy achievement.
“It’s because you are so admirable for trying to protect my honor.”
I’m not the type of person who places too much importance on things like fame and name value.
However, the youngest student’s efforts to protect that precious thing is another matter.
-yes. You can win.
Daria praised Russell, recalling his even firm response.
“I see your youngest worked hard today.”
.
.
Leaving Daria’s praise behind.
Russell, who had returned to his original time zone, opened his eyes thoughtfully.
I picked up the mission order that was lying on the desk.
Although I already knew the content from the explanation, there was no problem in looking at it again.
Sabak-.
When I opened the order, I saw the mission details written in it.
‘Exploration of ruins discovered in Mount Calvain, in the south of the kingdom, and writing of a report on them… … .’
Kalbein was the name of a mountain located about a week away from the royal capital.
A mountain that only experienced herbalists rarely set foot on because of its sheer cliffs and many strangely shaped rocks.
It was about fifteen days ago that ruins were discovered on this mountain.
Part of the ruins underneath were revealed by a landslide caused by heavy rain.
‘ruins?’
Were there any ruins discovered around this time?
Thinking like that, Russell looked back on his memories.
‘doesn’t exist.’
However, nothing in particular came to mind.
It was not like he had ever been involved in anything that would have led to the discovery of the ruins.
‘At least it didn’t happen because of my involvement. So is there one thing we can guess?’
This relic was discovered in the past before the return, but for some reason it was not made known to the public.
I couldn’t figure out what the reason was.
However, you can go and check it yourself.
With that thought in mind, I focused on the contents of the instructions again.
‘The era in which the ruins were supposedly built was towards the end of the Mythical Age, or shortly after… … .’
Russell’s eyes sank deeply.
The Age of Myth, and immediately afterwards.
Both were eras in which, strangely enough, no proper records remained.
It seemed believable that a great war had broken out, or that someone had intentionally deleted the records of that time.
The problem was that his ability, the origin of which was unknown, was related to that era.
If not-.
[mission]
Exploration of ruins.
Explore the interior of the newly discovered ruins.
[compensation]
???
‘There’s no way a mission like this could come out.’
The reward that appears is ‘???’, which I’ve seen a few times before.
Russell raised his palm and stroked his heart.
Ruins and missions.
I felt my heart pounding.
The magic power contained in the circle was also vibrant.
As if it responds to those two things.
Ugh-.
[mission]
A proposal for pessimism.
Solve Daria Snowwhite’s 4 challenges.
[compensation]
One of the items in the Royal Palace Vigo.
(Limited to items that do not exceed Daria Snowwhite’s authority).
Intermediate Magic Stone x1
[Progress]
3/4
There is only one task left.
If you manage to explore this ruin well, you will be able to obtain the heart you saw at the museum the day before.
Thinking like that, Russell quietly closed his eyes.
