Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (61)
“He is the benefactor who raised me to the 5th rank… ?”
Jack Russell, an archmage who had reached the very end of the 7th rank, looked at him with an unknown expression.
He was a cocky guy.
Rather than using his friendship with his student as a shield, his personality itself was proud. She didn’t seem to flinch in the slightest even in front of her nameplate as the Chief Elder of the Magic Tower. I smelled it because I liked arrogant and shameless guys more than polite guys.
The Jack Russell looked back at Esther.
It was a look that confirmed the truth of what Leonard said.
“It’s true, Master.”
Esther said, taking a step forward as if to embrace him.
“Leonard improved the formula for [Magic Missile], which I learned for the first time today, to be several times more efficient, and even passed on to me the vision that allows me to transform the completed magic.”
This time it was the Jack Russell’s turn to be surprised.
“No, Esther, was it worth it to you? “You probably didn’t commit a brokerage fraud by selling my name, right?”
“This person is so real!!”
Esther was so angry at that sincere rebuttal that she rushed at her, but with a single point from the Jack Russell, she was lifted into the air and started spinning around. [Levitation], [Hold], and [Spinning] were activated almost simultaneously without chanting.
Esther had no choice but to spin around in circles as she exerted her control and even blocked all of her magic uses.
“I guess it wasn’t a scam. Still, it is a sin to use a profane title for a teacher who is like heaven. “Just spin around for 5 minutes.”
“I-geo-full-uh-uh-ppa-ah-al-ri-i-i-!”
“quietly.”
“——.”
I hit [Silence] again with my pointer.
Not even a minute has passed, and Esther is already foaming at the mouth.
“I’m sorry. For showing a bad side of me. “As you can see from my student, his manners are somewhat, or rather significantly, lacking.”
“————!”
“You’re in good spirits. Should I increase the rotation speed further?”
“—.”
Esther covered her mouth in response to Jack Russell’s warning and spun around with her body curled up.
It was not a skill I had experienced once or twice.
They left Esther, who had begun to spin in a stable position, and their story barely began.
“It’s not that I don’t trust my disciple’s words, but I think I need to check. “Would you please sing an improved version of [Magic Missile]?”
“All right.”
Since it was a first-tier magic, it was easy to learn.
There was no way a 7th rank archmage could do a magic formula that even Esther could do in one go without wandering around.
and.
Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot!
Five [Magic Missiles] rose in the air.
The Jack Russell’s eyes sank deeply.
“Not only has the consumption rate of magic power been reduced by one-fifth, but the power of magic bullets has also increased significantly. However, the difficulty of the ceremony has not increased, and compared to before the improvement, it is probably ten times more valuable.”
The Grand Wizard, who objectively evaluated the value of [Magic Missile] even more than Esther, brightened his eyes.
Some people might dismiss it as first-tier magic, but not him. If [Magic Missile] was truly a worthless magic, it would have been destroyed without even being able to be used for its testing purpose.
It is said that in the distant past, there was a secret secret that allowed [Magic Missiles] to penetrate infinitely and kill even high-ranking wizards.
‘Although this improvement is not that great.’
It was worthy of high praise simply because it showed potential.
Jack Russell spoke with unusually gentle light in his eyes. The way he spoke also went from low to near average.
“Have you ever improved anything other than [Magic Missile]?”
“doesn’t exist. “Today is the first time I’ve activated magic or formed a circle.”
“… “I’m not a person who often gets speechless, but looking at you leaves me speechless.”
Compared to yesterday being like today and tomorrow being like today, it was a very interesting situation, but the goal was a bit painful.
He, who was pressing her temple, lightly gestured, and Esther, who was still spinning, fell to the floor.
“evil! “If I put it down gently, where does it go?”
“Shall we do 100 more laps?”
“sorry!”
Esther immediately surrendered to the Jack Russell’s point and hid behind Leonard’s back.
Her teacher looked at that with a pitiful expression and said,
“You are using the benefactor who broke through the stagnation of the 4th tier as a shield. I thought I already knew enough about your iron face, but it turns out it happened after that.”
Esther’s face turned red at those words, but she did not move away or say anything in response.
The Archmage, who expressed his feelings with a long sigh, opened his mouth.
“done. “Try using that mental power and use some magic.”
“… … yes.”
Esther cautiously came forward again and concentrated.
Although the magic power had not yet been fully recovered, it could be activated with just a few third-level spells.
“[Fireball].”
Suddenly, a large fireball appeared.
Immediately after that, Esther looked straight at the fireball with her eyes wide open and began to slowly distort the magic formula from the outside.
As if you got the hang of it, the transformation is visible in just a few seconds.
A sphere that was pressed flat like clay changed into a disk shape.
It was a form of magic that could not be called [Fireball].
“Ho-oh, was it really true?”
There was no sign of further decline in the Jack Russell’s dominance.

This meant that they succeeded in activating the 3rd tier flame magic, [Fireball], according to its formula, and subsequently interfering with it.
The archmage, who instantly saw through the transformation magic, spoke.
“The speed and power will increase significantly, but there will be a need to completely revise the orbital calculation formula. “The difference between throwing a ball and a discus is too big.”
“Yes, I’m not confident I can hit the target yet.”
“I’m proud. Next time, we will complete the orbit calculation and demonstrate it. No matter how great an achievement is, if it is incomplete, its value drops to less than half. “It’s the same whether you’re ranked 3rd or 1st.”
To show the use of mental power, just using [Magic Missile] was enough. The reason she used [Fireball] was because she wanted to show off her capabilities by transforming third-tier magic rather than first-tier magic.
When Russell pointed out that she saw through her unconscious vanity, Esther forgot what to say and just nodded.
And the Jack Russell stretched out his left palm.
“[Fireball].”
A fireball similar in size to Esther comes to mind.
As they wondered why [Fireball] was suddenly activated, an amazing sight unfolded before their eyes.
Hooooooooooo—!
As if changing into a disc shape wasn’t enough, it was a transformation magic of [Fireball] that Esther had failed to use, adding high-speed rotation.
The surface of the perfectly stable flame was even calm.
Esther saw that and raised her voice again.
“no! Master, you know spiritual power and know how to use it?!”
“Of course, you stupid disciple. It is an ability known to everyone from level 6 and above. “In the Magic Tower, it is called willpower, not mental power.”
“But why—.”
“Didn’t they teach you?”
The Archmage, who had anticipated her question, interrupted.
“Simple. This is not a technique you learn from someone, but a power you naturally awaken as you move up the hierarchy. “You can see the signs starting from the 6th level, and only when you reach the 7th level can you use it freely.”
Leonard understood the explanation before Esther did.
‘It’s like transcendence. The 7th level is the stage of opening up the upper level, and it must have awakened the telekinetic power, which is a higher concept than mental power, so it could not have been known.’
Esther, who belatedly understood Jack Russell’s words, opened her mouth.
“… So, did I acquire the mental power that I can use from the 6th or 7th level starting from the 4th or 5th level?”
“So the vision you learned is great. To compare it to mana training, I learned how to use the Auror Blade perfectly at the stage of external power training.”
“Kek.”
Esther, who made a strangled sound, turned her head and made eye contact with Leonard, who was looking ahead with a grave expression.
The Archmage declared in a tone of fun.
“Congratulations, disciple. To pay for that vision, there is no choice for a 5th rank wizard, and even a 6th rank wizard would have to do 20 years of unpaid service.”
When Esther, buried in debt, collapsed on the spot, he, who was giggling at his disciple’s joke, said,
“I can roughly guess why you came to see me. “I guess you didn’t think you could repay it on your own, so you were thinking of using an IOU and passing it all on to me, right?”
“Keeek.”
“You shameful disciple, do you think your teacher is your debt agent? Even though that guy called Vision won’t be of any help to me, you just take it and hand me the bill?”
Esther, who had seen through all the shallow hair, ended up falling to the floor and falling into a state of trembling.
After Jack Russell had done that, he looked back at Leonard with a relieved face for the first time in a long time.
“But that doesn’t mean we can just ignore our disciple’s debt. “You are also the benefactor who ended several years of stagnation, so as Esther’s mentor, I would like to present you with two options.”
“Please tell me.”
“First,” said the Archmage, extending his finger.
“I will give you the opportunity to become the chief elder of the Atlantis Magic Tower and the immediate disciple of the 7th rank wizard Jack Russell. When it comes to my previous students, it’s just a small number, so even if there’s one more person, it doesn’t make a big difference. “I can swear that I will teach you the essence of magic with all my heart.”
It was truly an unconventional proposal.
It was so scary that Esther, who had been convulsing on the floor, jumped up and started blinking to get it right away.
Speaking of Jack Russell, he was a great wizard who was closest to the 8th rank among the 7th rank. The reason he didn’t become the head of the Magic Tower was because it took up his research time, and he has the ability to compete for that position at any time.
Not even the giant powers of the Atlantis Maritime Alliance could touch his former disciple first.
“Secondly, I set a price corresponding to the vision and pay for it myself. I will do my best as an individual Jack Russell, not as a senior elder, but I cannot say that it is greater than the first. Even if you combine all the things like being treated as a VIP at the Magic Tower, renting large amounts of goods, and artifacts, and discount coupons, it wouldn’t be as good as my teachings.”
It was an arrogant remark rather than overconfident, but Leonard did not think what he said was excessive.
If you were thinking of going down the magic path, it would have been difficult to get a better offer than this.
However, Leonard was determined to pursue the path of martial arts and martial arts as a swordsman.
“I’ll do it a second time.”
In response, the Jack Russell closed his eyelids once and then opened them.
“What a pity. But it is also important to be confident in the path you have decided to take. “I will respect your wishes.”
Because I knew that Leonard did not say this out of curiosity, the point of view that looked down on the other person disappeared from his voice.
The talent of breaking through external power at a young age was truly remarkable, but the determination to determine my future at that age was even more remarkable. Everyone doubts their own feet at least once and gets distracted by a path they did not choose.
Was that why?
“From today, you will be treated as an honored guest of the Magic Tower in my name, and if you wish to rent or purchase an artifact, you may take it in my name. We will provide you with facilities and accommodations that can help you with your Mana training. If you want to gain more knowledge or experience in magic, let me attend classes with your student whenever you have free time. “How is it?”
Jack Russell crossed the line he had set for himself and did Leonard an extra favor.
Leonard noticed this, his eyes widened, and he accepted it without hesitation.
“thank you. “Chief Elder Jack Russell.”
“I like Russell. I don’t like the name Jack because it’s too common. “Calling everyone ‘elder’ also makes you look old.”
The boy and the archmage took a step towards each other and shook hands.
“Thank you for supporting my poor student. “I will ask you to take good care of me in the future, Leonard.”
“Please take care of me, Russell.”
It was a moment when Francis, who was buried under a mountain of documents in
fantasy,
