Wizard Stone - Chapter 690

————– 690/690 ————–

Returning to the room, Roy lay down on the bed and then got up again.

I thought talking about it would only make things worse, so I tried to ignore it, but I guess I made the wrong decision.

Rather than pretending it never happened, I thought it would be better to talk about it.

Then who should I talk to?

Roy headed to Shugel’s room without much hesitation. Anyone can see that this incident was Shugel’s fault.

At that time, Schugel was alone in the room.

“Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“I’m a little tired.”

“Then let’s talk a little bit.”

Roy quickly brought a chair and sat down before Schugel could say no once more.

Schugel, who saw this, could not hide his absurdity.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing? Let’s talk about it. “Are you very angry?”

“okay.”

“Maybe it’s not because of me?”

“You know me well.”

Schugel did not hide his uncomfortable expression. He seemed to feel ignored again.

“Do you also think I did something wrong?”

“yes.”

“······Are you serious?”

“Honestly, it was a bit sensitive.”

“Then I should have just endured it?”

“Honestly, no one could tell it was a joke.”

“It’s a joke… “Isn’t Luna currently in Segamor to learn Auror skills?”

It’s sudden. I had no idea that Luna would come out of Shugel’s mouth just now.

“How long has it been since you last gone?”

“It’s been two and a half years.”

“Do you think Luna can become an expert?”

“well. “It depends on Luna.”

It’s not like you can become an expert just because you want to.

If that were the case, the kingdom should already be overflowing with experts.

“But why Luna all of a sudden?”

“I just think it’s taking a while. Can’t you learn to become an auror by just swinging your sword a few times? “I don’t know if I’m doing something else instead of training.”

“that······.”

The words that couldn’t be like that rose up in my throat and then came down again. Suddenly it occurred to me that that might be the case.

That’s why, when I visited him before, he seemed to be quite into the Catholic Church of the Sun, worshiping and reciting prayers.

At the time, I thought it was best to send it to Segemo, but it seems I was wrong.

Should I bring him back right away? Or when you move?

Otherwise…

“You’re kidding.”

“yes?”

“I said it was a joke.”

“ah.”

Only then did Roy understand what Shugel was talking about. He was told that he was not practicing and was doing something else, so he had forgotten what actually caused him to say this.

“I understand what you mean.”

“Did you really understand?”

“yes. “But I think that’s a bit harsh.”

Isn’t it something that can be learned by just swinging the sword a few times?

“By the way, don’t say that to Luna.”

“You’re doing too much. “They were worse.”

“Shugel understands. Aren’t you a mercenary?”

“What does it matter? Are you really saying that they are uneducated mercenaries, so even if they say something like that, you should just understand it and move on? “Is it because lame jokes are part of everyday life?”

right. That’s true, but Roy couldn’t bear to say yes. The moment he says yes, he becomes no different from Schugel, who said that people like you are like him.

Although others may not know, it was not something he, a former mercenary, would say.

Fortunately, Schugel didn’t force an answer. But he didn’t just let it go.

“There is a saying that even if you say the same thing, it is different depending on who says it. I don’t agree with that. Is it normal for a mercenary to swear, and is it to be criticized if a noble scholar swears?”

“I didn’t say that much.”

“It seems to me that they are the same thing. If you act ignorantly, you have to be prepared to be ignored. And the mercenaries were the first to ignore it.”

“What are they ignoring?”

“Didn’t you see it earlier? “Why do they sigh and jeer at Marie and Dredd’s comments on a topic they don’t even have an opinion on?”

“that······.”

After listening to it, it seems like that was the case. Of course, I honestly don’t think that was the case.

Of course, Schugel didn’t see it that way.

“No matter how young you are, a wizard is a wizard. They have so little respect for wizards. “This is all because of you.”

“Why is this because of me?”

“Why? Isn’t this all because you’ve been so innocent with them? “You need to really know where you stand.”

“I know roughly.”

“You can’t just know it roughly. And it seems to me that you don’t even know anything. “Please act in accordance with your status and status.”

“Where we have to act that way, we do it.”

Roy responded as if it was unfair. She actually behaves in a formal way in front of nobles or lords.

The only time he acts comfortably is when he is with mercenaries.

“Isn’t it a bit weird to keep your distance just because you’ve lived without a fault and then suddenly become a nobleman?”

“That’s better.”

“Let’s try.”

I would like to say that I will take care of it, but I need to be patient for now.

After listening to it, I realized that there was a lot of Shugel accumulated. And it wasn’t entirely Schugelman’s fault.

No, the mercenaries were more of a problem.

If nothing else, it was necessary to check whether Marie and Dredd were ignored.

More precisely, it was necessary to ask whether the two people felt ignored.

“You must be tired, so take a break.”

“······Thank you for your consideration.”

To conclude, there was nothing to worry about.

Both said they never felt ignored.

However, I still felt a little uncomfortable, perhaps because of what Shugel said. He seemed to have been neglecting himself a bit since leaving the mercenaries.

These are two people who will continue to be together in the future, but they needed to pay more attention. In fact, I still needed the help of two people.

I had something to experiment with.

“Are you really shooting?”

“okay.”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“don’t worry. “You can come closer.”

“I can’t go any further than this because it’s too hot.”

“Oh yeah. Then just shoot there.”

“yes.”

After saying those words, Marie took a breath and slowly made her hand sign. A moment later, flames spewed out from her palms.

Roy faced the flames head-on with his blue flaming sword in front of him.

“are you okay?”

“are you okay.”

“phew.”

Marie let out a sigh of relief, as if she was glad. Roy didn’t show it either, but she felt a little relieved.

Even though I was sure it would be okay, I flinched when I saw the flames flying.

It wasn’t as bad as when I was fighting the ogre, but in that brief moment, all kinds of random thoughts came to mind.

And it was the same for Marie.

“I was wondering if I should go to a Sun Church priest and pray if Roy gets hurt.”

“There is a potion.”

“If the wound is too big, potions won’t work.”

“If I thought it would be that bad, I wouldn’t have done the experiment in the first place. Didn’t I tell you? “Even blue flares can be blocked like this.”

“really?”

“uh.”

It’s probably possible.

Because Rafau did it too. And that too with just a sword of fire.

It could have been done with just a sword of fire, but there was no way it could have worked with a sword of blue fire.

Of course, it will be scary regardless of whether it succeeds or not.

A simple flare is like this, but what about a blue flare?

“Anyway, don’t worry too much.”

“I don’t worry anymore. “It’s over.”

“It’s not over.”

“yes?”

“I’m going to try it without Fire Endurance this time. “Don’t make that face.”

“······Isn’t that really dangerous?”

“are you okay. Because I won’t do it as close as I am now. or not······.”

Roy frowned and looked at the corner of the yard. There was a dread there, training and waiting for his turn.

“Do you want to switch with Dredd?”

“I will do it.”

“good.”

It’s definitely good to have a good student.

Thanks to Marie and Dredd, I was able to experiment literally without any problems. I was able to check the performance of the blue fire sword very safely while saving the cost of the flare scroll.

In conclusion, it was okay without the Fire Endurance Robe.

Of course, this is a story about blocking flames with a sword. No matter how much I drew the blue fire sword, it was a bit dangerous to be attacked from behind.

I tried an experiment just in case, and I could feel the heat.

I think I’ll need the Fire Endurance magic for one reason or another.

Well, no matter what the outcome was, I would still practice Fire Endurance magic.

There is no reason not to use normal magic.

Due to the nature of the magic, all you have to do is hang it, and its performance is also excellent.

Fire Endurance probably played a big role when Rafau broke through Pen Fail.

Rafauda has lived his entire life as a battle mage. Even if he didn’t know it, it was clear that he had great performance.

No, rather, Harvey’s hot sunlight may have played a role.

Fire Endurance also blocks the heat of sunlight.

I don’t know which of the two had a bigger impact.

Actually, it didn’t matter anything. There is a better way than that.

“With flare?”

“okay.”

The training method Roy chose was simple. All they had to do was cast the Fire Endurance spell on each of the two robes and have Marie and Dread burn them with a flare.

Of course, it wasn’t just about burning it.

“Whoever burns it first wins. “There is also a prize money.”

“how much?”

“Three Silvers.”

“Every time you do it, right?”

“of course. “Of course not right now.”

When I experimented with the Flare Scroll roughly two and a half years ago, I endured it three times, so it’s probably not much different now.

Although quite a bit of time has passed since then, I haven’t really put any effort into training fire endurance.

There was no way that scrolling was the same as what people do here.

In other words, it was clear that if I did it right now, I probably wouldn’t be able to compete or train properly. There was a need to increase the number of times at least once.

“Shall we start in a week or two? Do you want to do it?”

“I will.”

As expected, Marie expressed her intention to participate first. She was not one to miss the opportunity to make money while training.

Of course, I would have participated even if I didn’t have money.

And it was the same with Dread.

“What exactly do you mean by burning quickly?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I wonder if you are talking about time or number of times.”

“ah.”

It seems that the results will definitely differ depending on the method used.

In terms of time, someone with a fast casting speed will have an advantage, and if it’s in terms of number of times, someone with a powerful single hit will have an advantage.

Of course, neither of them had any idea who would win.

“Why not do both? Are you fine?”

“yes.”

“yes.”

“good. first······.”

“Master.”

“huh?”

“It looks like a guest has arrived.”

“customer?”

Roy turned his head to where Dredd was pointing. As Dred said, two people who appeared to be guests were approaching there, guided by an employee.

Fortunately or unfortunately, one of them looked familiar.

“Alcon?”

“Baron Marten!”

After hearing the voice, I think it’s Alcon. Alcorn approached her, waving her arms as if she was happy to see her.

Could it be that the magic modification was really successful?

I don’t know. Now I was more curious about who the person who came with me was than about that fact.

“Professor Alcorn.”

“Just Alcon will do. “Because I’m not a professor anymore.”

“No, did you quit being a professor?”

“exactly. “I’ll tell you that story slowly, so let’s say hello first.”

“This is Lilar Glen.”

“Roy Marton.”

As Roy greeted the man, he unconsciously lowered his gaze. This is because the clothing seen at a glance through the robe was unusual.

I think I’ve seen an outfit like this somewhere…

“Are you by any chance from the Empire?”
