Episode 101. Wind of Change (3)
It was a day in my past life.
It was a time when the Usif Empire was on the verge of an all-out war with the Garam Kingdom.
Boris came to Xian, who was cleaning his sword in an unattended place as usual.
“You are here. I’ve been looking for it for a while. Lord Xian.”
“What’s going on Boris?”
It was a somewhat unexpected visit.
Boris Lehelm, president of the Usif Empire Magic Society.
Xian thought there was no reason for him to come visit her, as he was busy preparing for war.
“I didn’t come because something happened. “I guess I just wanted to have a chat with Lord Xian before starting anything big?”
He slowly approached Sian with a simple smile without a trace of malice.
Xian’s gaze was calm, but not friendly.
In the first place, Sian had no intention of having a friendly conversation with this man, as he was thinking of assassinating him at any time, as long as the fact that he was Eshel’s close associate disappeared.
“If you want to say something, say it.”
Despite his harsh words and actions, Boris never lost his smile.
“If you don’t mind, could you show me Lord Xian’s mana sphere?”
“… … “You mean my magic sphere?”
It was a moment when the suspicion that had been lying low rose a little higher.
“There is no need to misunderstand. Lord Xian’s magic level is now around 6 stars, right? “I know there hasn’t been an increase in rank for quite some time, but I just wanted to check to see if there was a problem with mana.”
This made Sian feel very strange.
A rare genius magician who reached the 9-star level in his thirties would go out of his way to take care of his mana.
I don’t know if it was a good deed from a pure heart or just plain foolishness, but I didn’t feel like I wanted to show it to Xian.
-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss
However, contrary to his wishes, Sian created his own mana sphere and handed it to Boris.
Of course, it was not a sphere of complete magical power.
Boris, who was handed the sphere, showed a very interesting reaction.
“This is truly a truly amazing attribute value. “As expected, you are as great as I heard!”
“… … “Can you see that with just a mana sphere?”
“I just analyze the magical power emanating from the sphere in my own way. “It’s just a humble talent.”
Xian’s magic level officially recorded by the society is 6 stars.
But this was literally just a record.
In fact, Xian was already able to freely use 9-star level magic, which was beyond level 7 or 8, which is the highest level of magic in relation to the dark attribute.
Of course, most of the people who saw it no longer exist in this world.
“What can I say? Although it has little magical power, the potential within it is enormous. “The possibilities are truly endless!”
It was something only genius freshmen who had just entered the academy would hear.
It seemed like it sounded more like a mockery than a compliment, so Xian looked a little shaken.
“This was rude. “To the greatest knight in the empire, the possibilities are endless, so I apologize if my words and actions offended you.”
“it’s okay. This means that there are signs of further development rather than being complacent. Well, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to be of more help to Brother Eshel? Never mind. Boris.”
The moment Eshel was unexpectedly mentioned in Sian’s mouth, Boris’s lips twitched slightly.
“Every time I see Lord Xian, I think he’s really interesting.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I am also a person who received Eshel’s grace and pledged loyalty to him, but honestly, I don’t think I can beat Lord Xian in terms of loyalty. Don’t Lord Xian’s feelings for Eshel go beyond simple friendship and loyalty?
Xian said indifferently.
“Nothing special. I just think it’s where I’m supposed to be. Isn’t that the same for you, Boris? “For you and me, the value of our existence will shine clearly only when we are by your side.”
“You are absolutely right. However, I would say that Lord Xian is somewhat far from the light… … .”
For a moment, Xian’s eyes widened with excitement.
I felt very uncomfortable, but I didn’t express it in any way.
I don’t know when, but the fact that he will eventually die by his own hands will not change.
I just hoped that moment would come sooner.
“… … .”
It was like that at the time, but it wasn’t until time passed that Sian was able to realize it.
That man knew everything about himself from the moment he handed over the mana sphere, or perhaps even before.
* * *
It smelled.
Of course it didn’t smell good.
It feels like trash that was left aside to be disposed of later suddenly appears one day.
So I came out and saw it.
And then we met.
Even if you tear off his limbs right away and throw them as food to animals, it would be a shame.
Boris Lehelm.
Chairman of the Magic Society of the Usif Empire and the emperor’s right-hand man.
This is the guy who grabbed the devil’s hand and hit me in the back.
Still, it wasn’t as bad as when I faced Eshel, so I could barely suppress the anger that surged up in the moment.
However, that suppression did not last long.
The moment I saw a foolish princess in front of him trying to hand over her mana without knowing anything,
The anger that had been suppressed was now erupting, taking life with it.
-Kwaak
The right hand holding the princess’s arm gradually gained strength.

He carelessly touched the body of a princess, not someone else.
If this had been the Imperial Castle instead of the Academy, I would have been dragged away as a felon.
In fact, some of the knights surrounding them were putting their hands on the hilts of their swords so that they could pull them out at any moment.
It’s none of my business.
Even if they really pull it out and hold a knife to my throat, I don’t care.
This one person in front of me is more threatening to me than the dozens or hundreds of blades aimed at my neck.
“Si, Sian! it hurts! “Let me go!”
The moment she complained of pain, the strength in her wrist naturally relaxed.
As I slowly looked away, I saw a red handprint on her delicate, white skin.
“Gwae, are you okay, princess?!”
Resimus hurriedly approached.
“Yeah, I’m fine… … .”
Although he wasn’t seriously injured, he seemed quite surprised.
Resimus’ eyes turned directly to me.
“What are you doing, Sian? How dare you touch the princess’s body… … !”
The knight’s stern gaze, uncharacteristic of a thirteen-year-old girl, glared at me.
“no! It’s okay, Resimus!”
The princess quickly dissuaded this.
“I guess there was some misunderstanding Xian! Was it because I reached out to a stranger? “This is Instructor Boris, who has just been appointed to the academy!”
“Instructor?”
For a moment, I frowned, wondering if I had misheard.
“Hey, I guess it’s my fault! “I just asked because I wanted to check the magic power of Princess Arin, or rather, student Arin, but I think I unintentionally misled student Xian!”
It’s funny.
I couldn’t help but laugh inside.
“What does an instructor do to check a student’s magical power?”
“yes?”
“It will all be in the academic records anyway, so why bother to come and check it privately?”
“Well, that is…” … .”
A look of embarrassment was evident in the awkward smile.
But I know.
That kind of foolish and lackadaisical appearance was thoroughly acted.
“Stop it, Sian! The teacher can check the student’s magical power, right? “There’s no need to get this excited!”
The princess held my hand and tried to dissuade me.
No need to get excited?
Are you saying things like that knowing what kind of situation you will face?
I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t even find anything to say in response.
“You said you were a Xi’an student, right?”
he called me
“I wanted to meet up with a student from Xi’an and talk slowly, but I think it’s going to be difficult today. When Xi’an’s mood calms down, is it okay if I visit him formally?”
There is a big fact to point out here.
Boris Lehelm.
This is a man who will later become the president of the Empire’s Magic Society and reign as Eshel’s right-hand man.
However, he was never appointed as an instructor while I was a student at the academy.
New instructor?
That doesn’t matter.
The change of instructors was always a reward every semester.
I don’t remember their faces, which I’ve seen many times, and it wasn’t my business to begin with.
But this man is different.
I never think that I came here by chance or anything like that.
The reason Boris came here probably had something to do with me.
Since I know that, I should also know everything about him.
“Please do so.”
Just like that, Boris disappeared from my sight.
Even after he left, I could hardly leave the place.
After the excitement subsided to some extent, I turned my attention to the remaining people around me.
“… … .”
Why isn’t everyone going yet?
“As expected, I knew it, but you were a very extreme man, weren’t you?”
Runab, who thought he would be trapped in the academy for a while, said with a strange look in his eyes.
Well, it’s still the same, but seeing as it’s gotten sharper, there doesn’t seem to be any side effects from removing the heart curve.
“… … Oh, it’s been a while, Sian?”
Meanwhile, Princess Arin, who was next to her, greeted her awkwardly.
Instead of responding, I bowed my head towards her.
“I would like to formally apologize for my rudeness just now. “I think I misunderstood the situation.”
The princess waved her hand and tried to dissuade him.
“no! are you okay! It’s okay if the misunderstanding is resolved! Well, so… … “You did that because you were worried about me, right?”
For a moment, my head went blank.
I didn’t stop it with that in mind, but… … .
No, should I say yes?
If someone other than the princess had witnessed the scene of someone trying to hand over the mana sphere to Boris, would they have been able to stop it like they did just now?
Given the circumstances, it seemed like it would be more appropriate to say so.
“Joe, maybe you were a little surprised? “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Sian so excited.”
Well, I don’t remember if I’ve ever been particularly excited in front of this woman, but it’s true that she handled a situation that could have been difficult without difficulty.
but.
“Don’t do it next time.”
“huh?”
“It means showing or handing over the princess’s mana sphere to someone else.”
She tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Well, I don’t think you did anything wrong? It’s nothing else, I just showed you my mana sphere. What’s the problem with that… … .”
“The problem is not the mana sphere, but the problem is that the princess tried to give me something so easily. Should the princess of her empire show her possessions to anyone? “She should get paid for everything, no matter how small.”
The princess looked dumbfounded and aggrieved.
It must be unfair.
I know. It’s unreasonable.
Still, I wanted to tell you this one thing.
If you don’t want your life to be messed up, don’t get too close to that guy.
Well, I don’t think I’ll fully accept it.
I’m sure you’ll probably jump out and tell me to stop saying nonsense… … .
“Okay, I understand… … .”
My eyes naturally sparkled as I heard a weak, resigned voice.
“I should have thought about being a princess before I was a student, but it seems I was foolish again… … .”
what?
You admit it so easily?
No, I have to deny it at least once, then I too… … .
“… … !”
It feels like the thoughts in my head have gone out like a candle.
What is that face?
Although he was trying desperately to suppress his emotions, I could see that he was brave.
I assure you, if I were to say one more thing here, it would be:
She will definitely burst into tears.
