“Hey…”

“Isn’t that a strange movement? Was it like this?”

“Ehey! This is it! Like this…”

Before I knew it, all the knights who had been exercising had gathered and were watching Ethan.

Everyone stopped exercising because it was so interesting to see someone teaching martial arts.

They were talking to us in a circle as if they had discovered a rare sight.

The topic of conversation was, of course, the martial arts I teach.

Among them, everyone was following the law roughly.

Just stay, teach Ethan, and if he thinks it’s okay, I’ll tell the whole Order.

“What an interesting movement. It seems to move a little, but then it moves away.”

“I still can’t figure it out even if I look at it.”

“Ethan is pretty good at following along, right?”

“Okay.”

I laughed out loud at that conversation.

“I’m following along pretty well…”

I laughed out loud as I watched Ethan’s movements.

That wasn’t at a level where I could follow along very well.

To be honest, it was perfect.

The movement itself was very clean.

Ethan just copied me without considering the difference in our physiques, so it just looks a little sloppy.

If you slowly improve your posture, you will already be at a graduation level in the method.

It was a little absurd.

‘I was also an ace at Muhak-gwan.’

Even I, who was called a genius, think it took me a week to follow the method.

As expected, the real main character’s talent was different.

Should I look good even now?

“Haaak…haaak…what is it? Are you okay?”

“Ahem… It passes the test.”

At my words, Ethan smiled brightly and clenched his fists.

The other knights nodded toward Ethan.

I tried to be a bit of a strict teacher and not give him a passing grade.

For that reason, Ethan’s talent was so dazzling.

Then the door opened and Captain Dana returned.

“Boss!”

“Are you here?”

“Huh? What are you all doing near Ethan and Seonghan?”

“Ah… big, everyone back to training!”

The quick-witted knights moved quickly, and Ethan and I just stared at Dana.

Dana’s expression was not good.

Among the knights, only two of us noticed it.

“What happened?”

Dana frowned as if she was troubled by my question.

And then he slowly looked at me and Ethan.

“I’m sorry.”

“…Huh?”

suddenly?

What do we have to apologize for?

Suddenly, Dana apologized and let out a deep sigh.

Since I had no clue what was going on, I looked at Ethan, and he looked at me curiously too.

“Let’s talk slowly first.”

As I spoke to Dana in a soothing tone, Dana moved slightly and told me the story that happened after she was called.

First of all, the reason I was called this time is because of one distinguished guest.

It is said that the reason for this is the woman named Eva, the ruler of the West.

“Are you talking about the top of the mountain?”

“Yeah. That’s right, give me a rooftop.”

Even though you said it as if it was obvious, I really didn’t know.

Well, in the original work, the place called Matap itself did not appear.

However, I could roughly guess what kind of being it was.

Because characters named Ma-Tap-Ju have appeared in various novels and comics.

Usually, only wizards who are overly obsessed with magic become magic tower masters.

I don’t know if it’s just the works I’ve seen, but it seemed like there were a lot of villains and weirdos.

Anyway, Eva, the owner of the magic tower, is one of the world’s best magicians, and she donates a large amount of money to the country every year, so she is said to be one of the most important guests.

It is said that most of the knights’ commanders and the country’s magicians gathered to hold a banquet to protect and entertain the guest.

As the banquet began, it is said that rare praise for the Black Knights was heard among the knight commanders who were called by their last names.

Praise for our previous achievements in the dungeons.

Dana became unusually excited due to the praise she had heard about the Black Knights for the first time in a long time and the alcohol she had to drink because it was a banquet.

This knight commander who doesn’t have a sword started praising me and Ethan.

Ethan’s growth rate and mental strength, my swordsmanship, the strange exercise method I spread to the knights, and even my massage skills.

“…and massage skills…?”

“Well… Speaking appropriately…”

Dana smiled awkwardly.

I wonder how much he said, but it sent shivers down my spine.

Even though he was drunk, he seemed to have said that with some self-restraint.

Still, it was enough to pique someone’s interest.

“Eva showed interest?”

“…Yeah.”

She usually doesn’t show much interest in stories that aren’t related to magic.

Director Dana reproached herself for being tired from the long carriage ride and for having been interested in the word massage.

Even after hearing this, I still am not convinced.

Is it something to apologize for that piqued Eva’s interest?

Captain Dana hesitated for a moment and then said.

“Actually… I refused to let Eva come here.”

“Yes?”

“Evanim takes three promising talents every year in return for sponsorship. So, Evanim suddenly comes to the Black Knights…”

I felt like I had some idea of what Captain Dana was thinking.

“I wonder if they’ll take someone from the Black Knights…”

“…”

Captain Dana nodded.

Normally, he would take a wizard with him, but this time there was no way he wouldn’t take a knight with him.

Actually, Dana says she experienced it herself.

Eva kept trying to take him away as a knight.

In a way, it was an accurate judgment to say that Eva would take the knight with her.

I don’t know, but the main character Ethan will be taken away 100% the moment he gets caught by that magic tower Eva.

“I’m sorry… This might be a great opportunity for you too.”

“Ah, that’s okay. Right, Ethan?”

“Yes! I want to be a great knight!”

Okay, okay.

Ethan will continue to strive to become a knight as long as Dana is in the Black Knights.

Come on, Matapjura.

I was curious, but I didn’t really want to meet him.

It had nothing to do with my quest, and the magician who was deeply engrossed in magic was not my target.

People need to have relationships.

Is it useless to live only in magic?

“Okay… thank you.”

Dana said with a gentle smile, and Ethan, relieved by her expression, added a word.

“I, I like knights better than wizards.”

Well, is that some high level plotting?

That was when.

‘huh?’

Although it was invisible, something could be felt next to Ethan.

Deep mind.

There was something captured in the skill of seeing the world with senses other than the eyes.

Although he couldn’t see anything clearly, there was someone next to Ethan now.

Should I say that only that part has a strange flow?

Something…

As I continued to look at that place, the movement slightly moved to the right.

At the same time, a very faint sound of dirt being kicked could be heard.

Sasak.

This time, left.

Sasa Sak.

This time, right.

“Lies, can you see it?”

“Who are you!”

A voice was heard in the empty space, and Captain Dana reacted instantly and drew her sword towards the air.

Then a woman with both hands slightly raised walked out slowly.

Captain Dana’s eyes widened when he saw the woman.

“Hey, Eva? Why are you here?”

“This person?”

Only then did I slowly examine the woman’s face.

Red hair, yellow eyes.

And a face that still seems a little childish.

I thought he would be a little older since he was called Matapju.

Eva looked like she was my age.

Magic Tower Master? Isn’t he just a magician who goes to the Magic Tower?

The woman had a slightly crooked look on her face.

“This got figured out. The plan went awry.”

“Eva! I told you not to come…!”

“I didn’t say I would do that?”

“Ugh…”

Captain Dana bit her lip at Eva’s shameless attitude.

Well, that’s the relationship between A and B.

Eva then looked at Ethan and me with interest.

First of all, Ethan

“This guy has a ton of mana.”

“…Huh? Me?”

Ethan pointed at himself with his finger.

Ethan didn’t even know that he had mana.

Even if I suddenly heard from a big shot named Matapju that he had a lot of mana, I just rolled my eyes without understanding.

And Eva’s gaze turned to me.

“You… no, hmm…? Is this Mana?”

Eva pointed with her finger somewhere between my navel and my pubic bone with a strange expression.

So the wizard of fantasy.

It’s common sense that there is internal energy in the danjeon.

With that thought in mind, he looked at Eva with a shameless expression.

“So, how did you really figure it out? It’s a camouflage spell that even monsters with highly developed senses can’t detect.”

“…I guess I’ve become more developed.”

“Huh! No way.”

It’s true.

It was a simple story.

My five senses are just more developed than those monsters’.

The harmony between my body that surpassed superhumans and the skill called the mind’s eye was extraordinary.

The level where you can feel what is invisible.

Although he only told the truth, Eva was not convinced by this explanation.

“Hmm… Maybe it’s because of its excellent mana sensitivity or detection ability… Since it has strange mana, it might have its own magic power…”

Eva began to mutter.

I was a little suspicious because of his young appearance, but now he looks like a magician.

Are we so absorbed in our magical thoughts that we can’t even see those around us?

He continued to talk to himself.

Then, from a distance, a woman in a robe came running at a brisk pace.

He looked at Eva as if he knew this would happen, sighed, and said.

“Haa, from now on I’ll tell the story.”

An elf who introduced himself as a disciple of the Magic Tower decided to continue the story on Eva’s behalf.
