EP.9 Looking for a new job (2)
Roselle van Trias.
Roselle, an elder of the Gray Magic Tower and an outstanding professor, thinks about something from a long time ago. It must have been more than ten or even fifteen years from now.
-The devil’s army once again.
-Never-ending disaster.
-Refugees flock to the Lutetia region…
A time when refugees from disasters were overflowing. During that time of confusion, Roselle encountered a child. He is a young boy who seems to have just turned ten.
Roselle recognized the boy’s qualities at a glance.
He was a genius.
If he walks the path of magic, he will become a great wizard who will go down in history, and if he picks up a brush and walks the path of learning, he will become an excellent scholar. A child born with such talent.
Rossel recognized the talent at first glance, but that wasn’t what really surprised him.
Even though he is only ten years old, he has a well-honed talent.
Roselle took a deep breath as he saw the quality of a well-sharpened sword.
It was not an unopened flower bud that you often see. It was already in full bloom, waiting for someone to look at it.
Roselle, as if possessed by something, asked the child.
I wonder if there is a teacher.
Did someone teach you magic?
If you taught it, who is it?
-I never learned it.
The boy answers that question with a question.
-Can you teach me?
Laughing at his boldness, Roselle took the boy as his disciple. Fifteen years have passed since Roselle made that choice, and he has never once regretted it.
He was such an outstanding kid.
Because he was a wise child.
But, now.
Roselle’s straight core was about to shake slightly.
“···Did I understand it correctly?”
“yes···.”
Feeling her mind becoming dizzy, Roselle crossed her eyebrows. What does this mean?
‘Even if the world has become a mess…’
Roselle looked at the girl kneeling in front of her.
‘How can this possibly make sense?’
His gray hair was long, down to his lower back, and now, as he was kneeling, the ends were spread across the floor. Blue eyes that roll back and forth restlessly.
‘Ashen hair and blue eyes.’
Those were the only two things he could find in common with that girl and his student.
“I can’t believe it…”
“Iknow, right.”
“You just shut up and stay a while.”
Roselle let out a long sigh as she looked at the sullen girl who kept her mouth shut.
“Whoa…”
Certainly, the gray mana that this girl showed off a moment ago belonged to Raniel. It was an exact match to the Mana she had seen for over ten years while teaching that child.
‘Yes, that aside…’
Roselle narrowed her eyes.
‘A lot has changed.’
I wasn’t talking about the appearance of becoming a girl.
Mana.
The color of Raniel’s mana reflected in Roselle’s eyes was the same, but there was a world of difference in the way it was used.
I’m happy about that fact, but at the same time, it’s bittersweet.
‘I wouldn’t have been able to survive without change.’
Roselle narrowed her eyes and muttered.
“I’ve already heard it through rumors, but… it’s unfamiliar.”
“yes?”
“The rumor spread all the way to the royal capital. “A certain wizard on the battlefield broke the foundation of combat magic.”
“is it so? “Who is that?”
I’m sure you’ve met him at least once on the battlefield.
Looking at the girl mumbling like that, Roselle smiled bitterly.
‘You’re still as tactless as ever.’
“It is nothing.”
“yes?”
Roselle waved his staff lightly.
-Wow!
“Ahh!”
“Anyway, you ugly guy.”
A faint smile appears on Roselle’s lips.
Raniel didn’t know, but Rossell was well aware of how his students were evaluated in the world.
-Redefinition of the stock concept of orders that had been neglected.
-Establishment of a combat magic system based on striking spells using martial arts and spell stocks.
-Exemplary examples of efficient use of spells on the battlefield.

Because I read all the articles about my students.
Thinking of those articles, Roselle smiled bitterly.
‘Do you know what the world calls you, Raniel?’
The beginning of Battle-Mage.
The lighthouse of wizards.
The greatest wizard, etc.
There was no end to saying that tinnitus.
“Anyway.”
“evil!”
“Is this guy’s disciple really?”
“Ahh! Master, wait a minute! “Ahh!”
Right, right, right.
The rhythmically swinging cane repeatedly hits the girl’s head.
‘Is it really…’
Roselle reflects on the past five years.
When I jumped into the warrior party to kill the Demon King, I was worried, but it was fun to see my student become independent and accumulate achievements.
I was proud.
When the news of the decapitation of the Four Heavenly Kings and the subjugation of the evil black dragon Belial hit the entire royal capital, a strain of strength fell on my shoulders.
However, this poor student wouldn’t know.
In a corner of my mind, I was always worried.
I can tell you how anxious I was during those five years, how excited I was for every single piece of news.
“Anyway, you’re screwing your teacher.”
Toouk.
The staff, swung weakly, touches the top of Raniel’s head. Raniel carefully raised his head.
“·····.”
Roselle’s face looks a little tired.
Looking at that face, Raniel lowered his head again.
“···sorry.”
“Ugly guy.”
Roselle reached out and tangled Raniel’s hair.
“Get up. “I have a lot of work to do.”
“·····.”
“First of all, let’s go buy some of the furniture you threw away. I threw away everything, so I guess I’ll have to buy a new one from scratch. “There must be a lot of work to do.”
“···Yes, Master.”
A room that had never been filled in the five years since Raniel left. Rossell said as he opened the door.
“Move quickly, you ugly disciple.”
2.
A member of the warrior party.
The news of the gray wizard Raniel’s retirement hit the entire capital. As much as his fame, the impact of the news of Raniel’s retirement was enormous.
Knight Commander Heinkel expressed regret at the news of Raniel’s retirement and petitioned that his achievements be given the honor and compensation they deserve.
The king readily accepted Heinkel’s petition.
Three stars were decorated on the badge that had previously been given to Raniel, proving that he was a ‘Royal Wizard’.
One star indicates a knight who made a remarkable contribution on the battlefield.
The two stars represent a wizard who devoted himself to his country.
The three stars further indicated that he was a wizard who devoted himself to humanity.
Raniel was recognized as the first wizard with three stars. Due to Raniel’s absence for now, the badge was delivered to Raniel’s teacher, Rossel.
Of course, the aftermath did not end there.
-The magic tower lord of the red magic tower, Hippomanun. I express the transfer of the position of Red Magic Tower lord to Raniel…
-Pays respect to the Blue, Green, White, and Black Magic Tower ‘Ashen Wizard’ Raniel, and promises him the position of elder.
-The knights’ wizards recommended Raniel as an officer.
As soon as the news of his retirement became known, many places rushed to recruit Raniel.
And, it was the same at Applia Academy of Magic.
The most prestigious academy in the kingdom.
A place that many young wizards dream of.
Although it has only been four years since it was established, the name of the academy has increased thanks to the achievements of the first class of graduates.
“·····.”
Aaron, the dean of Aplia Academy, looked at the pile of letters in front of him with cold eyes.
A tower of paper that looks like it will collapse if you touch it.
When he thinks that these are all petitions from students and professors, Aaron feels his vision becoming distant.
-The gray wizard Raniel becomes a professor at the academy.
-As a professor of the Battle Mage class, he is just as suitable…
– Talent that needs to be recruited even if it costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
-Take his class at least once…
This is a passionate letter.
Letters are even being sent to graduates.
‘Of course, I understand…’
Aaron also knows.
I know very well what significance the gray wizard Raniel means to the wizards of today. There is even a class modeled after that wizard within the academy, so is there any need to say more?
‘I also want to be invited.’
Because there won’t be a talent like him.
However, the problem was that it was close to impossible.
Ten days have passed since the news of his retirement was revealed, but no news has been heard about Raniel. Despite the courtship of all the magic towers, the wizard remains silent.
Didn’t he go on vacation to the elves’ forest?
Or maybe he was called by the noble ancient dragon wizard.
There are only such rumors going around.
There is no proper news anywhere.
‘Not even the magic tower owners could figure out Raniel’s whereabouts.’
No matter how high the reputation of Aplia Academy was, in the end, Aaron was just a dean.
How could he do something that even the magic tower lords couldn’t do?
“Whoa…”
Aaron let out a long sigh.
We already had to supplement professors. This year, an incredible number of talented students expressed their intention to enroll.
‘I didn’t know those kids would be so good…’
When he produced the first class of graduates, Aaron never imagined that the students being too smart would be a problem.
We hear about the activities of those children from all over every day. Because of this, the value of the name became too high compared to the size of the academy.
‘How can we handle such talented people?’
Aaron sighed as he looked over the list of new semester students placed in the center of his desk.
-Lark, the only son of the Grand Duke of the North and a Battle-Mage with an innate fighting sense.
– Summoner Resty, the next Mage Tower lord of the Gray Mage Tower and the man who commands numerous familiars.
-Belnoa, a battle mage and Shaman who single-handedly destroyed the ‘Dusk’ that was plaguing the slums.
They are all born with the talent to dominate the times. It is difficult for the current faculty to handle each and every one of them…
-Fourth Princess Ayla.
-Stella, a child loved by the stars.
At the name of the noble person who came last, Aaron smacked his forehead.
“I’m going to be amazed, really.”
The current faculty can never handle them. Where would a talented professor fail?
“Whoa…”
Aaron sighed.
3.
“Raniel.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Aren’t you planning on going to the academy?”
“Me? “At this age?”
Even if I couldn’t do it with them, there would be a difference of seven or eight.
“No, not as a student, but as a professor.”
“hmm···.”
I nodded.
“I don’t think it would be bad?”
A word from the author (author review)
This episode feels like an introduction.
It’s so hard to name…
My head is dizzy as I try to come up with the name of the academy, the names of the characters that will appear in the future, the teacher’s name, and the dean’s name all at once…
*Raniel’s age is between 25 and 27.
It’s been about ten years since I met Rosell, ten years since I learned magic from him, and five years since I went on an adventure as a member of the hero’s party.
