Circle projection.
As it was meant to be, it was a magic that allowed one to show off one’s magical achievement – a circle.
Grumbling-.
The moment when six rings of fire appear and rotate like gears.
‘Wet.’
‘Hmph-!’
Sounds of gasping air along with astonishment were heard everywhere.
Although the sound was blocked by Daria’s magic, the expression of surprise was clearly visible.
‘I can’t believe they were hiding that much magical power so perfectly.’
‘Huh, what nonsense-!’
Russell smiled slyly, confirming that the gaze surrounding him and the atmosphere of the area had changed.
The atmosphere is exactly as intended.
However, I had no intention of ending it here.
Because today was a festival day.
‘The more colorful the festival, the better.’
Thinking like that, Russell moved his hand. She lightly swung her fingertips and cast her magic.
chuck.
Place your right fist straight on top of your left palm.
Bubble bubbung-!
The sound of firecrackers rang out.
The six flame gears created by Russell, the flames coming from the center soared toward the sky.
Grumble, boom!
Six soaring flames come together in the middle of the sky, forming a gigantic shape.
‘Flare Rose!’
‘Symbol of Flame Tower-!’
The envoys from foreign countries who recognized the image, as well as some wizards among them, trembled.
Flame Tower (炎塔).
Among the magic towers that inherited the red lineage, this magic tower is evaluated as the best on the continent, and as such, it was given the character of flame.
That was the Flame Pagoda.
Of course, some of the Empire’s magic towers will not agree with him.
What can we do? That’s the world’s opinion.
Whoa!
The Flare Rose filled the sky and sprayed out red fire.
Russell fired a second spell at the thing that was shining brightly with red light.
Food-duk-.
I heard the sound of flapping wings, and a wild goose made of flames rose straight towards the Flare Rose.
Wild geese are a symbol of love and trust in a marital relationship.
The flame bird took off with powerful wings and attacked Flare Rose.
Pubububung-!
With the collision, fireworks exploded once again.
Beautiful, colorful sparks spread out in all directions like fireworks.
What appears within it.
It was the coat of arms of the Endymion royal family.
Grumble!
The royal family’s emblem burned with a more intense light than ever before.
Soon, Russell withdrew his magic power.
It was the moment when all the shows we had prepared came to an end.
* * *
No one in the room could easily take their eyes off Russell as he withdrew his magic and walked towards the princess and the king at the other end.
The same applies to ambassadors from other countries.
They were staring at Russell with deeply sunken eyes, but their expressions soon hardened.
I spoke with the wizards who came with me with a serious face.
Noise Canceling.
It is said that most of the sound echoing through Daria was blocked, but it was only limited to noise.
I could easily hear whispering nearby.
“What do you think?”
In response to an envoy’s question, the wizard accompanying him opened his mouth.
He still looked dumbfounded.
“It’s amazing. As rumored, it’s amazing that he has reached the level of the 6th circle at that age, but to be able to hide his enormous magical power without being noticed… … .”
The method for those who have reached the level of skill to gauge the skills of others is simpler than expected.
By detecting the slightest amount of magical energy flowing from the body or the presence of aurors, it was possible to understand the opponent’s skills, albeit fragmentarily.
Even if the other person’s skills were higher than yours, you could still feel some distance or traces.
In order to block that presence, there was no choice but to enter a state of deep prowess even among the master levels, or to widen the gap by at least two levels.
In comparison, the skill of the wizard answering now was only one level different from that of Russell, who was in the 5th and 6th circles.
Despite this, no sign of magical power was detected at all.
‘It’s amazing.’

As a wizard who doesn’t know the characteristics of Russell’s magic, I can’t help but think that way.
Moreover, the wizard’s words were not over yet.
“What’s even more shocking is its ability to control mana.”
“The ability to control mana?”
“I see.”
It was only a few months since I joined the 6th Circle, which was too short a time to consider the newly created circle as stable.
In that case, it was natural for magic to shake or leak out in some way when emitting magic.
But he created a perfect magical sculpture without any sign of that.
‘Unless the circle has the same mana arrangement as Dragon Heart… … .’
At that time, the nobleman who had first asked the question touched his chin and muttered.
“If the rumors heard in the world are true -.”
If a master-level auror user is a powerful spear that can penetrate the battle line alone, a wizard of the 7th circle or higher is a war weapon that can turn the tide of battle and erase the battlefield.
Area of territory, number of troops.
That was also the reason why the Empire, which could be said to be the best on the continent on both sides, could not do anything about Endymion.
Although they were ahead in the number of sword masters, they lacked the number of superhuman level wizards.
In addition, there were two Circle 8 archmages in Endymion, the only ones in the empire.
Meanwhile, a supernova was born who entered the 6th circle in her early 20s.
With talent like that, it won’t be long before you can even open the gateway to superhumanity.
“-Within ten years at most, the landscape of the continent may change significantly.”
The nobleman who started the story ended his thoughts like that.
Looking around, it appears that nobles from other countries have also organized their thoughts.
Of course, we’ll have to wait and see what impact Russell’s direction today will have on international relations.
.
.
“Infinite light shines on the path ahead of two people who will walk hand in hand… … .”
A glance at the general speech of Alfonso Ratmos, his father and the king of this country.
Hecate moved her gaze.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the man standing to my right, Russell Raymond.
‘I never thought something like that would happen.’
She also knew that her father, King Alfonso, would use this position for political purposes to some extent.
It was something she had agreed to in the first place. But Russell stepped forward first.
‘This honest man couldn’t have thought of such a thing himself, and perhaps someone told him about it.’
Even though she knew this, Hecate’s gaze showed a gratitude that could not be hidden.
It has to be that way.
‘I knew you weren’t the type of person who liked painting your own face with gold.’
Nevertheless, he committed such an act on his own.
We can’t help but think that Russell understood and was considerate of himself and the Ratmos royal family.
It was because.
The moment they faced each other to exchange rings, they softly kissed each other.
‘You did something very interesting. ‘My dear.’
Russell seemed to have read the movement of his lips and smiled sheepishly, and Hecate chuckled to herself.
Then, the moment Russell’s ring was put on Hecate’s hand, the king.
Alfonso Ratmos’ last words echoed throughout the park.
“With this, I proclaim widely in the name of the Latmos royal family that the engagement between Princess Hecate Latmos and Count Russell Raymond has been concluded!”
As if they had been waiting, the court wizards fired congratulatory guns into the air.
Bubble bubbung-!
Flame, ice, lightning, and wind mixed in the air, creating a brilliant light like polar light, covering the surrounding area, and the king whispered softly to Russell as he looked at the scene.
“Please take care of me in the future. Earl Russell Raymond.”
It was the moment when the engagement ceremony between Russell and Hecate ended safely.
.
.
Unfortunately, even though the engagement ceremony was over, Russell didn’t get the moment of relaxation he wanted.
Even though the ceremony was over, there was still a banquet to follow.
The banquet lasted for three days, and of course the main characters were Russell and Hecate, who held an engagement ceremony today.
There was no way I could fall out.
The problem came after attending the banquet.
“Congratulations. Count Raymond. I am from the southern territory… … .”
“haha. Congratulations! Count Raymond. However, I heard that Count Raymond graduated from the academy in Walkerhill City within our territory… … .”
From small local nobles to lords who included the city of Walkerhill in their territory.
Countless nobles flocked to talk to Russell.
It has to be that way.
Local nobles did not have many opportunities to attend royal banquets like today.
Moreover, the other person was Pung Woon, who quickly rose to the center of the political world. If he didn’t use today’s opportunity to somehow make connections, he might not get a second chance.
Moreover, it was not only nobles from our country who flocked.
“Nice to meet you. Count Raymond. I am a member of the Naze Federation… … .”
“First of all, I should say congratulations. This is a communion gift from me personally to congratulate the Count on his engagement… … .”
Starting with the nobles from other countries who came to understand Russell’s personality-
“Look. Earl Russell. The shape-changing magic used at the beginning of the ceremony was… … .”
“… … “The correlation between the flow of horsepower and stability is-.”
-The wizards who came with them were no exception.
It’s literally so crowded.
Russell, who was suddenly surrounded by a sea of people, secretly sighed.
As I looked away, looking tired, I saw my teacher, Daria, surrounded by magicians from other countries, just like myself.
‘Master.’
The difference was that, unlike herself, who clearly looked tired, Daria was in a very excited mood.
“Since my youngest was very young… … .”
It was obvious what they were talking about. From Daria’s perspective, she must have felt like a fish out of water.
For a while, Russell was concentrating on the crowd surrounding him.
Even though I wasn’t very good at it, I responded at a level that didn’t leave an impression of disrespect.
‘I’m glad I got quick tutoring from Sir Alan.’
If not, I would have made several small mistakes.
‘Oh, I hope it ends quickly.’
I already felt like leaving for the Kuril Islands, which was scheduled to happen in three months.
* * *
In fact, it didn’t matter when I left the Kuril Islands once the engagement ceremony was over.
The six-month period was something I decided on myself, and there was no reason to keep it.
Nevertheless, the reason why Russell stayed in the royal capital for about three more months was simple.
There was also a reason to improve the skills of the 6th Circle itself -.
‘It’s a bit funny to leave right after the engagement ceremony.’
So time continued to pass, until finally.
Three more months pass. It’s been exactly half a year since I last visited the Red Canyon.
Russell submitted the application for research abroad to Daria that he had prepared in advance.
Of course, the destination was the Kuril Islands.
