EPISODE.14
“… … .”
It was literally something that happened in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Daria approached Russell, who was standing blankly, not even realizing what he had done.
He stretched out his palm and tapped his shoulder.
“… … I think we should at least have a celebration party today. Congratulations on achieving Circle 4. “You’re the youngest.”
Only then did Russell feel his consciousness being brought back to reality, and he stuttered out a question.
“Use 4. Big. yo. this?”
“okay. “The circle was overheated and amplified to its limit, and the rotational power of the magic power, which began to spin at an incredible level, must have drawn a new circle.”
The amount of magic power, which is close to that of the 4th circle, also probably played a role.
Growth beyond the limit in an instant.
“Is such a thing possible?”
Russell asked back, as if he still had no sense of reality, and she nodded.
“It’s not that much, but it happens sometimes.”
Will it stop at just transcending the limit for a moment, or will it be left as a complete circle?
That depends entirely on the life and experience you have accumulated as a wizard.
“You are the latter.”
“okay.”
Russell, who finally understood the situation after Daria’s explanation, nodded.
It still didn’t feel real.
However, the existence of the fourth ring felt in a corner of the heart was clearly real.
“okay. So, I guess I can just rest for today.”
It’s a little earlier than planned, but I’ve just completed the 4th circle, so I’ll probably need some rest.
Daria said so.
But Russell thought differently. Forming the 4th Circle and Daria’s teachings were another matter.
He didn’t want to waste any of this time.
“If you are considerate of me, there is no need to do that. Master. I can still do a little more… … .”
Before I can finish speaking, a dizzying sensation reaches my brain.
The world reflected before my eyes was spinning.
Daria supported Russell.
“I was forced to open my own limits and enter a new circle. “I admit that I feel uplifted, but when my head starts to cool down, I will feel even more tired than I am now.”
After lightly patting him on the back, I corrected his posture.
“So, don’t try too hard today and go back to your room and get some rest. “Tell your employees to bring some sweets into your room.”
“All right.”
Perhaps because he experienced a mind-boggling sensation, Russell nodded.
“Okay then, let’s go in first. “Master.”
I agreed to her words and left the underground training room set up for training.
Daria muttered as she watched Russell’s back moving away.
“Somehow you managed to get the time right. “It’s a good thing I applied saliva in advance.”
I smiled as I recalled the annual event held every year for graduates of each academy.
What kind of expression will the old man make when he finds out that such a talented person has been taken away?
“Your expression is already pleasing to the eye.”
The sound of polite laughter echoed throughout the hall.

At Walkerhill Academy.
No, all the academies in Endymion had an old tradition that existed from the past.
A tradition commonly referred to as ‘top selection’.
“The selection of the tower is not far away, so let’s get to work.”
“I’m already looking forward to seeing how many of this year’s graduates will be invited to the top.”
“First of all, we will have to divide up the students who failed. “Isn’t it true that we can’t show them, who are actually a disgrace to our academy, to the selectors in the tower?”
Selection of tops.
As the name suggests, it refers to an event where selectors from the Magic Tower select talents they want to recruit to their tower.
The target audience is graduates of each academy.
In fact, it can be said that how many people are selected in this selection is one of the important indicators of whether the academy is prestigious or not.
Professors accelerated their efforts to teach students, while at the same time preparing to greet the selectors.
The professors at Walkerhill Academy were no exception.
There were also many cases where there was discussion about which student would be chosen for the Magic Tower.
“Actually, our academy doesn’t have much to worry about this time, right?”
As a professor spoke, the eyes of all faculty members in the room focused on him.
He cleared his throat once at that gaze and muttered.
“Well, isn’t there that kid at our academy? “That kid.”
“If that kid… … .”
“Russell, Russell Raymond.”
“ah!”
“That’s right. “There was that child.”
Several faculty members were openly pleased when they heard the name Russell.
It’s a completely different evaluation than when the semester just started.

In fact, until the end of the first semester, the evaluation of Russell was not this favorable.
Although he achieved great growth in half a year, it was because he had spent the past three years as an inferior student.
The reason the evaluation was overturned was because of a letter that arrived just two months ago.
Daria Snowwhite
A letter with Yeomtapju’s seal had the power to change the evaluation of a single student.
Some professors, including Isadora, who were usually reluctant to speak out about Russell, also had no choice but to keep quiet.
“No matter what, wouldn’t the value of one person sent to a famous magic tower be greater than the value of five people sent to an ordinary magic tower?”
Moreover, it is not an ordinary magic tower, but a flame tower, one of the four great magic towers of the king’s capital.
“I can’t believe the student in charge ended up going to the same tower as me. I hope you feel good. “Professor Hubert.”
Hubert did not answer a question a professor asked him.
Instead, I buried my head deep between the stack of documents I was holding and thought.
‘You reed-like bastards who overturn your judgment about a student in an instant.’
Although Russell has not shown outstanding results so far, he has been diligent and diligent in his efforts.
Nevertheless, when Russell showed signs of inadequacy, there were some writers among them who did not treat him like a proper student.
Even if it wasn’t, most of them treated it half-heartedly.
‘I wonder if I can call them educators.’
When no answer came back, the professor who had asked the question turned his head with an embarrassed expression.
“Hmm.”
I cleared my throat lightly.
It was then.
Suddenly, the door opened and another professor appeared.
“Now, you guys. “Look at this.”
As he enters the staff room, he attracts attention by placing a bundle of letters in his hand on the desk.
“The list of selectors that will be sent from each magic tower has just been released. “Everyone has arrived!”
“Oh oh.”
“This is the letter listing the names of the selectors.”
When they heard that the list had arrived, the professors’ eyes immediately turned to that direction.
Who would be the selection officer was also a very important issue for professors.
‘If someone who is close to me comes as a selection officer-.’
‘It would be a little more convenient to send my student to the Magic Tower.’
However, this did not mean that even those with insufficient skills could be sent to the Magic Tower.
Everyone had at least one student whom they raised with great care.
“Let’s see, we, the selectors of the Caliburn Tower… … .”
“oh. “The selector of Roen Cheongtap is – Rogun.”
It took some time to identify the tower by adding the name of the administrative city in which it was located and to check with the selectors.
-.
The movements of the professors who were flipping through the envelopes of letters stopped all at once.
The rose gate burning like a flame.
It was because I had a letter in front of me with Flare Rose’s seal.
Written below the seal is the sender’s name.
“Keu, keuhm.”
“This is Professor Hubert… … .”
Feeling the eyes of other professors on him, Hubert raised his head.
Glancing.
As soon as you check the sender’s name written on the envelope, a shadow is cast over his face.
The shadows were so dark that the otherwise stern face now looked desolate.
A sigh that he couldn’t hide flowed from between his lips as he suddenly became tired.
Why?
“It’s a pain in the ass.”
It felt like I was getting a migraine that I never had before.

After the time I had been taught by Daria.
Russell, who returned to the academy, could see that the atmosphere surrounding him had subtly changed.
‘hmm.’
Even toward the end of the first semester, this kind of atmosphere existed, but not to this extent.
In fact, the reason this atmosphere was created was because of the rumor that Russell had been sent to the Magic Tower upon a special dispatch request.
The reason why students did not come to the academy even though the semester had started was well known to the students.
Of course, in reality, it was not a special dispatch request, but rather a direct instruction from Daria.
That was a fact only the professors knew.
Although it was far from the truth, the fact that he had received a special dispatch request from the Magic Tower was enough to make him an object of envy among the academy’s students.
Such reactions first appeared among students in Alpha and Beta classes who had a history of being harshly treated by Russell.
‘Russell requested a special dispatch from the Magic Tower… … .’
‘Even if it weren’t for that, he would have been that strong, if only he had lived with the wizards of the Magic Tower.’
Could it be that it has become something that cannot be touched now?
It was because such a thought passed through my head.
However, not everyone was like that.
Just like it was in the first semester.
Some of the students in Gamma and Delta classes who had never been bullied by Russell even underestimated him.
“joy. “I guess I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with the Magic Tower.”
“I don’t know what happened that caused him to be sent to the Magic Tower, but if I had been there… … .”
Comprehensive competition between Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta classes starting from the second semester.
It was a conversation between talented players from the Gamma and Delta classes who achieved high results in the competition.
Low belittling sounds that sound like whispers.
But Russell did not respond to the whispers.
It’s not just because of the age difference.
Even compared to my age in my previous life, the age difference between them and myself was at most five or six.
At most, about seven.
There wasn’t much to do, especially because of the age difference.
The reason why I didn’t come forward despite this.
That’s because the world Russell sees is much higher than theirs.
‘Circle 4.’
Even compared to the academy’s first-time professors, he is not inferior at all.
If he wanted, he could have been appointed as a professor at an academy immediately after graduation.
In comparison, the level of those whispering is at the student level no matter how high you put it.
There is no need or reason to go along with such low-quality provocations.
furthermore… … .
‘The stage where I must reveal myself is already prepared.’
The selection of the top is just two days away.
That was the real stage where I had to reveal myself.
-Go and show it to me. Whose disciple are you?
Russell clenched his fists, remembering what his teacher had said jokingly before leaving.
Next to Russell, a mission window was blinking.
[mission]
Selection of tops.
Show an overwhelming level of difference and gain recognition from the selectors.
[compensation]
Lesser Magic Stone (Edible) x3
A mission that arose the moment we left Daria’s mansion.
His classmates could no longer be his targets.
‘The goal is-.’
Recognition by selectors.
