EPISODE.05
“Three-dimensional coordinates, and targets and hits… … .”
The white-haired noblewoman picked up the book next to Russell and lightly dusted it off.
“You are reading an interesting book.”
Russell could only gulp and swallow at those words.
‘I know this person.’
There’s no way you wouldn’t know.
He reached the 7th circle at the age of less than 60, and has now reached the 8th circle.
Despite being over 80 years old, he maintains the appearance of a person in his 40s through an enormous amount of magical power.
The owner of the Flame Pagoda.
‘Daria Snowwhite… … .’
As if to prove that fact, one end of her robe had a flame rose, the symbol of the Flame Tower, engraved on it.
Pyeontap (炎塔).
Among the countless magic towers that continue the lineage of the red towers in the kingdom, the character ‘Yeom’ was given by the royal family.
‘The highest-ranking magic tower of the Red Tower series… … .’
Daria was the owner of such a flame tower.
What this meant was that Daria was the best wizard, standing at the top of all Red Tower wizards.
‘And Sasaroi is also Professor Hubert’s teacher.’
Of course, all I knew was the information and appearance that was known to the public.
Because Russell in his previous life had never even had a single conversation with her.
That doesn’t mean she had a personality problem.
It’s just that the gap between Russell and Daria was too big to dare to talk about.
As if she also noticed that Russell recognized her, Daria smiled and smiled.
Naturally, I lightly tapped Russell on the shoulder.
“There is no need to be so surprised. Hey kid. “I am just a colleague walking the magic path with you.”
Did you think that wasn’t enough? She put her hand in her arms.
Then, he pulled out a colorful lollipop, Sweet Lollipop, and put it in Russell’s hand.
“But if it’s difficult, I’ll just think of myself as the grandmother next door.”
Why?
Hearing those words somehow made me feel more relaxed.
‘Whatever it is, it’s not because of the lollipop.’
Thinking like that, Russell shook his head. He politely accepted the lollipop and greeted me.
“Well, nice to meet you. “Lord Flametap, my name is Russell Raymond.”
She was a living legend and an object of admiration for wizards.
My voice trembled slightly at the thought of meeting such a great wizard.
“Raymond, Raymond… … .”
At the last name Raymond, she narrowed her eyes as if recalling an old story from an old kingdom.
That too for a while.
“Considering that you’re still a student, you’re reading quite high-level books.”
She didn’t ask why or how Russell was here.
Instead, he spoke with a knowing smile and lightly tapped the page of the book Russell was reading.
“These are not books that are easy to understand.”
Can you really understand the contents of this book?
A word mixed with such a question.
Russell moved his fingers instead of answering.
He spoke while lightly underlining a part of the book he was reading with his fingertip.
“It’s complicated, but the important parts of this page are here and here.”
“Hoo?”
“The rest are additional explanations and examples added to help you understand the important parts. But in this case… … .”
In fact, they are making the book more difficult, so it may be a reversal of the point.
At Russell’s answer, a look passes through Daria’s eyes.
Then, she turned the page forward.
Among the pages Russell had already read, he selected one and pointed it at it with his fingertip.
“Then what do you think is the most important part of this?”
If you haven’t read the part yet, you may already understand it and move on.
“doesn’t exist.”
“does not exist?”
Stereoscopic Coordinates was a book authored by a famous wizard.
However, just because he was a student, he denied part of the content.
Depending on how you interpret it, an action that may seem like it has crossed the topic.
As the gaze continued to demand an explanation, Russell smiled bitterly.
‘Are you doing a test?’
I wasn’t sure what she wanted, but it wasn’t that hard to explain.
“This part explains the process of setting the target and calculating the coordinate formula to reach it.”
“but?”
“In reality, something important is missing.”
Temperature and weather.

Zone, wind direction, etc.
There were countless variables that could affect the process by which magic reached its target coordinates.
Of course, the reality is that a lot of formulas are needed to assist him.
In comparison, the formula used in this book was too one-dimensional.
If you simply rely on this formula to perform magic…
‘I don’t know if it’s close range. The accuracy rate of long-distance magic is less than 10%. If you play well, you’ll get about 20%.’
Of course, since the concept of three-dimensional coordinates itself is very difficult, the formula was simplified to make it easier to understand.
“The author, a senior wizard, must have known that fact as well. so that… … .”
Russell said, staring at one side of the bookshelf, where the book on stereoscopic coordinates was placed.
“I guess they created the in-depth part separately.”
“… … .”
There was silence for a moment as Russell responded without hesitation.
“That’s amazing.”
Immediately, exclamation flowed from her mouth.
“Normally, for a student of that age, it would be overwhelming just to accept the content contained in the book.”
Pure admiration and praise.
“Not only did you find the core, but you also penetrated the surface. Good eyes. No, maybe I should say good hair.”
“Rather… … .”
Blue eyes as clear as sapphires are bright and look at various parts of Russell’s body.
“You’re learning something quite interesting.”
At her continued words, Russell could feel the blood in his entire body cooling down.
Somehow, a chill runs down my spine and a chill passes through the back of my neck.
‘Did you read it?’
overload?
Otherwise, Wizard Body?
I don’t know what it was, but it was clear that Daria had read something in her body.
Even Daria wasn’t finished speaking yet.
“Besides, the mana circle is a bit unusual. It is quite pure, and the state of mana arrangement and stabilization is also… … , ho. This is rare. “Heulheul.”
Instead of looking at Russell closely, she smiled.
“Don’t worry. I’m learning something interesting and rare, but it’s not something special. “I have no intention of scolding you.”
Daria seemed to sense that Russell was nervous, and shook her head.
“No matter what wizard you are, you always leave at least one of your own secrets. Grow up well. “It’s a child.”
Those were the last words.
As soon as I finished speaking, Sarak-.
Daria disappeared.
All that remains is a single flower with a bright yellow center and white leaves like cosmos.
‘This… … .’
It was a chamomile flower.
A flower with a scent that is said to relax the nervous system and bring peace of mind.
Russell smiled bitterly as he held up the flower.
‘I never thought I’d meet Daria Snowwhite here.’
A completely unexpected meeting.
But it was much better than I thought.
I had no idea that I would end up making a mark on her.
When Russell was thinking like that.
Inside an office located in the academy, a ‘giggling’ sound of laughter was coming out of nowhere.
* * *
“Giggles.”
Hubert, who returned to his office after finishing his personal business, let out a sigh at the unexpected yet familiar sound of laughter.
“It would have been nice if you had told me in advance if you were going to come.”
He said as he faced the passenger who entered his office first.
“Master.”
“It is done. “What a great thing it is for a teacher to come to see his student.”
Yes, he was like this.
For a moment, Hubert thought back to the time when he was learning magic under Daria, and then he remembered the sound of her laughter he heard as he came in.
“But, it looks like something interesting happened. “Master.”
“Of course there are.”
She nodded with a mischievous smile that did not suit her ladylike appearance.
“Since you never came, I happened to stop by the professor’s library to have a drink, and there was an interesting kid there.”
“If it’s a child from the first floor library… … .”
Hubert immediately clenched his chin.
“You mean Russell?”
“okay. Russell. Russell Raymond. “It was definitely a name like that.”
“yes. He allowed me to go into the first floor library, but what an interesting kid he is. Perhaps Russell made a mistake… … ?”
Daria giggled again at Hubert’s reaction.
“From your reaction like that, it seems like you really like that kid. “Giggle.”
“Keu, keuhm.”
Hubert, whose complexion turned red at his teacher’s sudden words, cleared his throat.
As if to change the topic, he brought up the story about Russell again.
“Looking at Master’s reaction, I don’t think Russell made a mistake.”
“What a mistake, I just felt good because I saw an excellent child.”
When Daria spoke clearly, Hubert stroked his chest as if he was relieved.
Then, he pretended to have a polite and stern expression that was no different from before.
“Hey, that’s not fun.”
Daria clicked her tongue as she looked at Hubert’s face.
“Seeing as you gave me access to the first floor library, it certainly seems like you have plenty of talent.”
“yes. “The ability to accumulate knowledge will be beyond excellent to excellent.”
Otherwise, there is no way I would have already read all the books in the student library.
“but… … .”
“but?”
“Mana Road is too narrow and thin is a problem. So, no matter how talented you are, you cannot stand alone as a wizard… … .”
“It seems stupid.”
As if there was no need to hear any more, Daria cut him off.
“You don’t have to worry about that kid.”
“yes?”
“Contrary to your concerns, the child has already recognized his own problems and has begun to pioneer a path for himself.”
Hubert blinked at Daria’s words.
A wizard who had reached the 8th circle and was one of the top three in the kingdom spoke as if he were making a boast.
Perhaps he saw something in the child that he himself could not see.
Daria added to Hubert, who was relieved.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since it was created, but I could feel the presence of a second circle.”
“Are you saying that the child has completed the second circle?”
Apparently, the day before, he had felt that same way from Russell.
But since I wasn’t sure, I thought it was an illusion and passed it off.
“okay. However, because the mana array structure is a bit unique, I was a little late in noticing it.”
No wonder you didn’t notice.
‘That child is in the 2nd circle… … .’
In fact, it is the same as crossing the curve of the requirement for graduation.
Of course, there were a few other minor conditions, but there was still one year left until graduation.
‘If it’s Russell, he can do well in that one year.’
It was then.
“Look… … .”
Daria, who had a playful appearance, stared at Hubert with an infinitely serious look, unlike before.
“… … “It seems like you too had some success.”
Although it was the same 5th circle as before, I felt that my mana status had increased dramatically.
Moreover, despite the increased mana, it remains stable without any disruption.
‘I might face the wall of the 6th circle soon.’
In fact, the reason I left the royal capital where the Flame Tower is located and visited Walkerhill Academy today was to see Hubert.
Daria smiled happily at her student’s growth.
Even though I had gotten older, it still felt good to receive praise from a teacher I had followed for a long time.
Hubert had a stern expression on his face but lightly wiggled his fingers.
“yes. Definitely as Master said… … , I felt like my perspective broadened a little when I taught others, compared to when I was training alone.”
“What did I say? “Giggle.”
Guiding others not only broadens your horizons, but also provides an opportunity to reflect on yourself?
As she said that, she smiled contentedly.
“Please continue to work hard like that in the future.”
Sarah-.
Daria stood up.
“Are you leaving already? Since it’s been a while since I’ve been here, I’d like to have a meal… … .”
Daria smiled and shook her head at her student’s recommendation.
“Let’s save today’s meal for enjoyment after you enter a new realm.”
Immediately after, he walked toward the open window and stopped.
“Oh, and.”
“… … ?”
“If it’s okay, Russell, I’d like to write about that child in my letters often.”
“russia… … “You mean the cell?”
“okay. If possible, it would be good to bring him to the Flame Tower instead of taking him away from another tower.”
Daria’s eyes as she finished speaking were like those of a woman who discovered a sparkling jewel.
It became a flame and was burning brightly.
