EP.238 Uninvited Guest (6)
Aplia’s Dean, Aaron Van Tylant.
As Aaron entered middle age and old age, his life was not always easy. He had crises of one kind or another, and as he came from a prestigious family, he was often caught up in power struggles.
It may be difficult to say that I have gone through all the hardships, but I have not lived an ordinary life.
Even if something serious happens, he just laughs it off, tearing out a few strands of his hair. There were times when he couldn’t laugh it off, but somehow, Aaron found it easy to accept the incident itself.
In the end, it all comes down to that.
When you think back on the events you made a fuss about when you were young and said it was a once-in-a-lifetime crisis, when you think back on it, most of the cases are actually not that big of a deal.
‘So, you must always be calm.’
That is the truth of life that Aaron always reflects on.
“What the f*ck…”
And now.
“Are you crazy?”
Aaron loses his composure.
Aaron’s eyes opened wide.
Wow!
The young female professor’s shoe hits the customer’s shin. The sound was so loud that the students who had been whispering all fell silent.
“Ugh!”
Then the customer’s screams ring out.
As a customer falls to the floor due to exaggerated movements, Aaron Van Tylant senses the crisis of his life.
The professor kicked the guest in the shin.
Even if it is just a simple customer, it is an issue that can turn into a big problem, but Aaron is now lying on the floor, thinking, ‘As expected, she is a spicy lady just like the rumors say…’ I know the identity of the customer who is saying the same crazy things.
‘Oh, the wizard of the ancient dragon…!’
A person who receives the respect of all wizards.
This guest is a god-like being who has lived on this earth for tens of thousands of years.
“It’s been a while, Aaron!”
“Your forehead is getting wider every day! It’s cool and nice to see!”
About an hour ago, an ancient dragon wizard stormed into the dean’s office, pointing out his hair.
“I visited the royal capital a few days early before the festival, but there was nothing special to do. So, I stopped by here to see the face of the world-famous genius and to see the state of your hair for the first time in a while.”
He asked Aaron to tour Aplia. Aaron accepted the offer with a trembling heart.
It’s an embarrassing, but glorious opportunity.
The God of Wizards is interested in the magic academy he founded. Aaron was embarrassed by that fact, but also glad.
‘If only the ancient dragon wizard were to teach the students…!’
It will be a sanctuary.
Just thinking about the students’ excited faces, Aaron felt his heart swell.
That’s the story from an hour ago now.
“Wow, what is it really?”
And time passes and we reach now.
“What is this guy doing? “Dean.”
Pointing to the ancient dragon mage lying on the floor, Rania asks a question. Her face is full of irritation as she brushes her bangs.
“Huh, huh…”
Aaron felt his breathing become heavier and reached out for his hair. However, there is not even a handful of hair left on the smooth forehead.
Who is that?
He is the god of wizards.
He is an ancient dragon wizard who is respected by everyone.
Even though he had to say that answer, Aaron couldn’t bear it. This is because the curious gaze of the students sitting in their seats came into view.
‘···Children who admire the ancient dragon wizard.’
Aaron is an educator and the director of the academy.
That means we have a duty to protect children.
‘Children’s innocence must be protected.’
Aaron barely managed to hold on to his fading mind and slowly… very slowly opened his mouth.
“He is a great wizard who visited Aplia from abroad. Well, very great.”
Rania’s eyebrows twitched and trembled at the word ‘great’.
“······.”
With a shocked expression, Rania took a step back, and the ancient dragon wizard, who had been lying on the floor, slowly stood up.
“It was a fatal blow, Lady.”
Then he winks and points his index finger at Rania. Rania’s expression became very wrinkled.
Wow!
In the end, Rania’s fist struck the ancient dragon wizard’s abdomen.
“Wow!”
As the students watched, the ancient dragon wizard, who had been punched by Rania and was thrown through the classroom door and into the hallway, bowed his head.
Aaron felt dizzy.
2.
Naturally, there was no way a wizard who had lived for tens of thousands of years would fall from an attack like this. I grabbed the acting ancient dragon wizard by the collar and lifted him up.
“Let’s go somewhere where there are no people.”
“Oh, if you’re asking for a date, you’re welcome…”
“Do you really want to search?”
My fingers made a loud noise. The ancient dragon wizard smiled bitterly and then turned his gaze to look at President Aaron.
“I have something to talk about with this young lady, so I’ll just go. “Thanks for the guidance, Aaron.”

“Uh, uhuhuh…”
“Don’t panic. “Treat the few strands of hair you have left.”
The ancient dragon wizard patted the dust off his clothes. The attire that had been a suit had already been replaced by an ancient dragon’s robe.
Sarah.
The bluish hair is flowing down.
The ancient dragon wizard, who had returned to the form I knew, stretched out his hand into the air. What he was grasping was empty air, but what he was holding in his hand was an old tree staff.
thud!
The cane hit the floor.
With that alone, dozens of circuits unfolded in the air, and platinum-colored starlight bloomed. The ancient dragon wizard spoke to the starlight.
“Please open the door, buddy.”
【The transaction has been concluded.】
There is no price paid.
However, the star opened a platinum-colored door in front of the ancient dragon wizard.
“Let’s go in.”
It’s a scene I don’t want to understand no matter how many times I see it.
Feeling uncomfortable, I followed the ancient dragon wizard into the door.
Woah!
When the starlight surrounding the body disappeared, the changed landscape was a vast garden. There was a tea table placed on the garden.
A place located midway between the other world and the present world.
The special space that only the ancient dragon wizard could enter had the characteristics of the real world and the other world coexisting. The ancient dragon wizard walked through the sunny garden and grabbed a chair.
“Lady first.”
Is that guy really crazy?
I frowned and said sarcastically.
“You’re getting old and your back will hurt, so why don’t you sit down first?”
“haha. Although I have lived for tens of thousands of years, I always live with the body and mind of a young person. “I hope you will refrain from using the word ‘old man.’”
He laughed bitterly and narrowed his eyes.
“And even an old man waiting for the day to die will have a healthier body than you.”
The golden eyes were shining.
“Isn’t that so? Raniel van Trias.”
The ancient dragon laughed.
“You wizard who broke the taboo.”
3.
The ancient dragon wizard I remember was a playful, but serious and respectable person.
“Rosel has raised a great disciple.”
I encountered the ancient dragon wizard twice.
I had encountered him once during the next Magic Tower Sunday, but it was right after the subjugation of the Black Dragon that I truly understood the existence of an ancient dragon wizard.
“You have succeeded in subduing the disaster that has reigned over this land for hundreds of years. This is an achievement that deserves praise. “I salute you.”
He got down from the throne and knelt in front of me and Kyle. The sight of the greatest wizard kneeling and bowing to us is an unforgettable memory.
“Dragons and those who believe in dragons are all my compatriots. “It should have been my role to save my compatriots who had gone astray, but it was something I could not do.”
He spoke to us with his head bowed.
“Praise to the great warriors who accomplished great feats.”
Afterwards, we hosted a dinner party with a few jokes. And, at least until then, I didn’t notice anything strange about the ancient dragon wizard.
Was that why?
“No, why did someone who knows everything do that?”
“What do you mean?”
“You know who I am. “Someone I know just said in a buttery voice that you were a lady and all.”
“Hehe, you don’t know what you don’t know, Gray Wizard.”
I had no idea.
“The past is not important. The present is important. You are a beautiful lady now. Among the women I have seen over tens of thousands of years, she is in the top five…”
“Are you really crazy?”
“I am always sane. “He is a very conscious person who is not tied down by the past, is not limited by common sense, and lives with only an eye on the present.”
It was something I had never imagined in my wildest dreams that the ancient dragon wizard would be this light-hearted, woman-loving, senile old man.
“It means trying to live young.”
“If you are old, it is beneficial to the world to live as you are.”
“Tsk, if you say that, I don’t have anything else to say.”
The ancient dragon wizard laughed bitterly.
I sighed and asked him a question.
“As expected, you recognize me.”
“You can’t not know.”
“···People connected to the stars don’t recognize me? “I heard you whisper that it’s not a star.”
“They are the stars’ slaves, but I am the stars’ friend.”
He sipped his tea.
“The relationship between me and the star is not vertical. It’s a horizontal relationship. “Sometimes you need to listen to a friend’s words with one ear and let them go with the other.”
He narrowed his eyes.
Golden eyes shone quietly.
“However, there are some words that cannot be ignored.”
He tapped the table.
“I heard that your life expectancy was put on the scales. Gray wizard. “It wasn’t just once or twice.”
“Because I needed it.”
“That would be taboo.”
Taboo, taboo.
A sneer escaped from the corner of my mouth.
“I did this because I couldn’t deal with those who broke the taboo and the providence with my bare body. “I had to use everything I could.”
“Don’t you know why a taboo is called a taboo?”
“I did it knowingly.”
Because that was the only answer.
“I have to bear the full cost. Don’t interfere unless you can handle it for them. To be honest, it’s unpleasant.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“This is not what I want to hear from you who are not paying anything in return.”
“…As expected, we look alike.”
The ancient dragon wizard sighed.
“Even the great sage who broke the taboo hundreds of years ago gave me the same answer.”
“Are you talking about Cardi?”
“okay. Cardi van Armiel. “The only wizard who could challenge me.”
He smoothed the corners of his eyes.
A scorched scar remained over his left eye. The ancient dragon wizard, who had been silent for a moment, let out a long sigh.
“I didn’t come here to say this. In fact, this is more of an obligatory question.”
The ancient dragon wizard laughed bitterly.
“If there is someone who breaks the taboo, I have a duty to check their mental state. Fortunately, your mind seems to be very healthy.”
Clean, straight, straight as always.
The ancient dragon muttered that and looked at me.
“Beauties like you are rare. It means a beautiful human being. Of course, it also has the meaning of beauty!”
The ancient dragon spoke with a playful expression.
“So, I’m thinking of taking advantage of this Wizards’ Night to do some work on you.”
···work?
“I want you to settle down as Rania van Trias, not as Raniel van Trias.”
I blinked, not understanding what he meant.
“What is that…?”
“Don’t you have a title that I gave you?”
Yes, there was. The title of wizard and sage recognized by the ancient dragon wizard.
“I plan to give you something similar again.”
“···What if I drop you off again?”
“A wise man. And, I’ll let you know the other title on the day of Wizards’ Night. “You can look forward to it.”
He winked and winked at me.
As I was looking at that face, I felt like something was rising inside me and I started to gag.
“Wow, that’s quite a wound.”
“Don’t be a damn thing. really.”
“It’s my preference to be bold with words. There will be a dance on Wizards’ Night, so why don’t you come with me…”
I stretched out my finger.
The tip of the finger was pointing to the ancient dragon’s right eye.
“Would you like to get a scar on your right eye as well?”
“Oh.”
The ancient dragon stuck out his tongue.
Seeing him pretending to slightly back his body as if he was disgusted, I thought it was definitely an effective threat.
“no?”
However, that lasts only for a moment.
The ancient dragon wizard, who was thinking about something while smoothing his chin, added with his golden eyes shining.
“I rather like it.”
Are you really crazy?
An uninvited guest, truly an uninvited guest.
