Talent-Swallowing Magician Chapter 57

Episode 57

Demon King Hyul(獝)

Tasha’s doubts were quickly answered after reading the report Hanabi brought.

“So, it was just a simple ‘voice of anger’?”

Although the reason was a little absurd.

Even though Hanabi hadn’t done anything wrong, she felt as if Tasha’s fierce glare was reprimanding her, so she became angry without realizing it.

“Well, according to what the daughter of the Mervinger family said, that’s true… . “It seemed like the family believed that this incident was caused by instigating Yeong-sik.”

“under!”

For Tasha, it was just absurd.

Wouldn’t it be unfair if they had at least one foot in this incident?

Considering that I had gone to great lengths to cover up even just a little bit of it, it was rather unfair.

“So, when we provided a sufficient explanation to the daughter of the Mervinger family to resolve her misunderstanding, she belatedly apologized and apologized.”

Tasha shook her head.

If you had built up your pride and persevered, you could at least put pressure on them. Isn’t it difficult to shout loudly when they take a low stance like that?

It was a very vain result compared to the fact that ordinary nobles only show off their pride unnecessarily even when they are at fault.

Even if only a facade remains, even more so considering that the Mervinger family is a ducal family.

‘no. ‘Isn’t it because they have such flexibility that they can bend at times, so they have been able to remain as a master of magic for over a thousand years?’

It is said that the best family in the magic world is the Neresta family, but even they were nothing compared to Mervinger’s long history.

“Anyway, what’s important is what it has to do with the Black Skull… .”

Tasha had ordered an in-depth investigation into Hayes.

However, what was written about him in the report was very simple.

-Cannot be confirmed.

It said that no connection could be found between Hayes and Black Skull.

Actually, this was natural.

Because everything about the Black Skull was shrouded in mystery.

They are known to carry out their orders almost perfectly.

However, because it created a lot of resentment in various places, individual members were often in danger, so they tried to hide their identities as much as possible.

When carrying out a request, they always wear a mask with a skull on it, and each person is given a unique nickname instead of their real name?

Therefore, the identity of only the leader of Black Skull and a few early members was known to the public, and almost nothing was known about the other members.

But what if Hayes is a hidden member of the Black Skull?

That alone was a great thing.

It is surprising that the daughter of a magic clan is a mercenary and a non-fighter, but it also gives the Neresta family a reason to be closer to Mervinger.

‘I heard Black Skull doesn’t try to build personal relationships outside of formal requests, right? At best, the only thing I can do is befriend a ‘company man’ or the chairman of the ‘Northern Merchants Association’. But if you can get one foot in there… .’

It was for that reason that Tasha ordered a detailed investigation into Hayes.

widely!

Tasha asked in a cold tone as she threw the report on the table.

“You are well aware that this is not the report I wanted, right?”

“S-sorry!”

“You can say sorry after taking off your clothes. Anyway, I’ll give you one more day. “I’ll have to somehow get something in there that I’ll be satisfied with.”

“Oh, I understand!”

Hanabi knew it was an ultimatum, so she didn’t take no for an answer.

If he is seen as incompetent again this time, he will be cut off like his predecessors.

‘You can’t do that!’

You just have to do it.

“I’m going to be busy, so just go.”

Tasha muttered softly as she watched Hanabi running out of the office.

“It’s really hard to get even a booklet.”

As the difficulty level increases, it becomes more fun.

Thinking about that, I laughed lightly.

* * *

Elric opened his eyes.

Flash!

A beam of light flashed along the pupil, which sparkled beautifully as if it were cut from an emerald, and then slowly subsided.

“her! You achieved enlightenment again? no. How long has it been since I encountered magic fighting techniques? !”

“haha! Isn’t it obvious? “I am this old man’s disciple, so it is natural.”

“Of course it’s bullshit. “Brother, do you think I didn’t see you flinching in surprise just now?”

“… Hum hum! I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, I have to give you what I agreed to give you, right?”

“You can stay here. Take it! Very close!”

Augustine’s shoulders went up a notch when he won the bet he had made about whether Elric would grow again or not.

And the more it happened, the more desire boiled around Gility’s eyes as she looked at Elric.

‘I guess it won’t be long before I can smile so energetically! ‘I’m going to somehow make that guy my immediate disciple!’

Giliti had succeeded in putting a spoon on Elric while he was learning how to use the Ferocity Seal from Augustine.

After class time and self-study time were over, I was able to teach in the limited time I had.

At first, I was very disappointed as I wondered how much I could teach in a short period of time (less than an hour).

When I saw that Elric not only sucked it up without any hesitation, but also showed excellent application skills, my eyes completely rolled over.

Elric was more talented than he thought!

I have met countless juniors who were eager to learn, and I even raised several soldiers myself while serving in the Free Revolutionary Army… Most of them couldn’t even get started.

‘Hehehe. If you just look at the pure fun aspect, it’s not as crazy as this school. Anyway, let’s wait and see. ‘I want you to make me bow down so I can see your face.’

While Giliti’s insidious(?) plan was building up in my head.

Elric had a satisfied smile on his face.

‘In just a few days, I raised the seal of ferocity to 3 stars. The anglerfish has also completely settled down.’

However, there was something else that satisfied Elric the most.

‘We have made a clear link from the seal of ferocity to magic fighting and strong body techniques. This is the biggest achievement.’

The seal of ferocity was a kind of trigger.

By simply generating a seal, the circulation of magical power continues quickly and the body is naturally strengthened.

Now it is possible to achieve a complete ‘magic armament’ without any preparation work such as memorization.

‘Plus, unexpectedly, I was able to obtain ‘magical eyes’ from the elder Giliti.’

Augustine had a look on his face as if he needed to learn magic from other schools when he had a lot of magic to learn, but Elric didn’t care at all.

‘The more you know, the better.’

No one could match Elric’s thirst for learning.

‘Hwanan’s potential is just as good.’

Elric was going to test the illusion first when he left here.

“It looks like I’ve taught you almost all the basics now. From now on, it will be faster for you to gain enlightenment through your own research.”

Augustine was smiling like a gentle teacher looking happily at his grown student.

The corners of my mouth were so good that I was trembling slightly as I was trying to keep from twitching as if I was dying.

“It’s all thanks to Master’s teachings. “If it weren’t for his teacher, he wouldn’t have come this far.”

“haha! What did this old man do? It’s all because you’re so good. “Hehehehe!”

Although Augustine spoke in a humble manner, his eyes were burning brightly as if telling him to never forget his accomplishments.

『They are inspirations you can see inside. Tsk tsk! It’s when my eyes turn like this. “I don’t even know that this guy is standing on top of their heads and sticking a straw into their spines.”

To Mephisto, he felt pity for the two old men whose marrow was being eaten away, so he shook his head.

At first, he laughed at them and said they were stupid, but at some point he realized that his situation was not much different from the two old men and felt a sense of kinship with them, which made him depressed.

“Anyway, since you’ve been rolling around like you’re dying for the past few days, the Agwigam is now embedded in your subconscious without you being particularly conscious of it, so if you encounter danger, it will activate reflexively.”

Augustine was pointing out things you must know about Agwigam.

Elric nodded, thinking that it would be useful in dealing with demons in the future, and then suddenly tilted his head.

Exciting!

Exciting!

‘huh?’

My heart suddenly started beating rapidly.

It means that Agwigam sensed danger.

I couldn’t figure out why this was happening.

“… ?”

“Then let’s just leave. “I heard Sean is waiting outside.”

Elric tilted his head because he thought something was strange.

‘Well, it’s probably nothing.’

I shook my head thinking about what would happen if something happened in this place where Augustine and Giliti are located and which is also the territory of the Neresta family.

Since it had only been a while since I learned it, I thought it wasn’t a big deal and thought it wasn’t properly settled yet and prepared to descend.

* * *

and.

Elric soon found himself cursing himself for making such a foolish decision.

‘… shit. ‘The anglerfish was working properly.’

“Hello, little brother? long time no see.”

The moment we left the labyrinth of Cheongyeon and arrived at the room where Sean was waiting.

I saw my sister, Hayes, not drinking tea on one side, but looking over and waving lightly.

Elric’s face darkened and died.

“oh. “It looks like your sister isn’t very happy?”

Hayes covered his mouth with his hand and laughed lightly.

But Elric could see it.

Pupils as cold as midwinter nestled in eye smiles that seemed infinitely warm to others.

“ha ha ha! Does that woman over there seem to be your natural enemy? I can sense Mervinger’s scent, but the Auror’s scent is stronger than that. Is this your first time seeing something like this?』

Mephisto looked like he was dying of fun.

That was because it was the first time I had seen Elric so scared.

But Elric had no time to argue about that.

The sister who suddenly appeared was also my sister, but my eyes kept falling on the sledgehammer hanging on her back.

… I was scared.

“W-what is your sister doing here…” ?”

“Have you already forgotten? I told you that I would come to the imperial capital soon. “It’s good to be busy, but you shouldn’t forget too much about things around you.”

Only then was Elric able to recall the memories he had left behind.

He had certainly said that Hayes would soon come to the Imperial Capital looking for him.

So, Elric tried to run away to the north to avoid Haze… .

‘You suddenly got caught by this old man and became stranded!’

Elric glared at Augustine with a look of resentment.

In fact, Augustine did not seem to notice such gaze.

On the contrary, he seemed happy to meet his disciple’s blood relatives.

“Hoo! It seems you are Elric’s sister. The siblings certainly look a lot like each other. Nice to meet you. “This old man is said to be Augustine Neresta, who has become Elric’s new teacher.”

“nice to see you. My name is Hayes Mervinger. “My younger brother is lacking in many ways, but please give me a lot of guidance in the future.”

Hayes bowed in a polite tone.

Augustine nodded in satisfaction at the sight of her, whose every move was filled with elegance and sophistication, making her look like the daughter of a high-ranking noble family.

“Seeing that not only Elric but also his sister have grown up so well, I’m sure even my ancestors (a term used to refer to my deceased father) will be very satisfied. “I don’t think there will be any worries about Mervinger’s future.”

“Thank you for your words.”

Elric tried to sneak away while Augustine and Hayes were having a pleasant conversation.

but.

“Where are you going, little brother?”

Hayes turned his head this way as if he had been waiting.

Sigh!

Elric had to feel cold sweat running down his back.

“… sister.”

“huh?”

“That hammer in your hand… “Can’t we just take it aside and talk about it?”

Hayes suddenly lifted the sledgehammer with one hand and placed it on his shoulder, smiling as brightly as the spring sunlight.

“Can you do that? “I brought it here with my own hands so that I could break your earthenware pot.”
