130 – Court Mage Contest #4

“… I didn’t know because it only said Thorin. Now I understand. Thorin of the Seraphine family… . I am a former platinum wizard. He was a court wizard of the Uniger royal family.”

Psyche explained while looking at the bracket.

Thorin.

I had seen his name in a book.

Although this was my first time actually seeing it.

I heard he lived as a recluse after the fall of the old royal family.

“Can Miss Lucy win?”

Parr-.

Psyche trembles.

Soon Milione spoke.

“Can’t win. Being awarded a platinum plaque means being the best. Platinum Knight Agiles was like that, and Gregory used to be like that. The platinum wizard Thorin is a man worthy of a knighthood on his own.”

The Knights Templar was an absurd force itself.

If the knights are sent in, the castle and village will be devastated?

However, Thorin said that he was a human being comparable to those knights.

Thump, thump, thump-.

Soon, a man appeared from a distance holding a cane.

Thorin.

He was blind.

“Long live Thorin, the greatest wizard!”

“I heard that you went to the Onan region for training. You’re back.”

“That’s right, he is the staff of the Uniger royal family! You want to become Her Majesty’s court mage!”

blind.

Is he the strongest magician who can’t even see?

Someone approached him from far away.

“Pink hair!”

“Cheer up!”

“I’m rooting for you!”

She was Lucy.

Lucy waved her hands in all directions, and people threw flowers and shiny things at her.

My heart was satisfied when I saw Lucy being loved in many ways by people.

“What a wonderful woman.”

“You’re crazy.”

Milione snorted.

In Milione’s eyes, the whole world seemed crazy.

Pot-.

Thorin and Lucy finally faced each other.

A fight between a super rookie and a proven strongman.

It’s natural for people to hold their breath and become nervous.

“Miss Lucy. Don’t blame me.”

“You too! I really have to do my best!”

Daaeaeaeang-!

The game started with a loud gong sound.

“The magic of silence! Silence!”

Lucy clapped her hands.

When I was wondering what on earth I had done, Milione said.

“It’s a magic that silences the sound of footsteps. This is a spell usually memorized by wizards who join the thieves guild. Lucy, you used your brain quite a bit, right? Did you know you could write something like that?”

Thorin.

He was a blind man.

He would have been relying a lot on hearing, etc., but using magic to completely block sound would have been a fatal weakness in many ways.

“Dig into the opponent’s weaknesses. It’s important. But it was so foolish to decide to overcome the platinum wizard with his obvious weakness.”

widely-!

Thorin hit his staff on the floor.

With that, Lucy’s body rose into the air.

People were embarrassed when they saw that.

“You memorized the spell without chanting, right?”

“A guy who can’t even see… .”

“Um, is that a platinum wizard…? !”

widely-!

Thorin slammed his staff down again.

Lucy’s body, which had been floating like a balloon, suddenly fell to the floor.

“Kkueeek!”

Lucy let out an ugly scream.

Of course, falling from a high height onto the hard ground would have been a huge shock.

Thorin asked soon.

“Mademoiselle. Will you surrender?”

“I, I can’t lose… ! Because I promised… ! I am… I promised… !”

widely-!

Thorin hit his staff on the floor again.

Lucy’s floating body.

This time it was even higher than before.

By looking at this scene, people could predict what would happen in the future.

Everyone looked away or frowned, and Psyche also “Hyde! It’s a big deal!” He fidgeted as he held my hand.

However─.

I trusted Lucy.

I will not be left helpless like this.

In fact, Lucy’s eyes were still burning with fighting spirit.

“Aoooroeulsuburikkesuo-. Sex!”

Pot-!

Lucy’s body begins to fall in the air.

Soon, Thorin’s mouth was seen moving loosely.

“Hoo. Has my floating magic been lifted? It’s a much weirder chant than that. It seems almost like a quirk of unconsciously pouring out the words in your head. The effect is great though.”

Undoing Thorin’s magic was great.

However, the fact that Lucy was falling did not change.

However, there must be a reason why Lucy created this falling state.

“Strength comes from weight! Your weakness is that although you have excellent magic skills, you are weak in stamina and body! I am strong!”

Pot-.

Lucy fell backwards and stretched out her fist.

It seemed like he was planning to fall like this and hit Thorin with his fist.

Lucy’s strength was definitely quite strong, although not as strong as Psyche or Milione.

If the force of falling from a high place were added to the punch—.

Kwaaa!

Finally, there was a collision, with a large cloud of dust rising.

The person standing when the scattered fragments disappeared was—.

“Young.”

It was Thorin, a former platinum wizard.

Lucy’s fist couldn’t reach Thorin’s face.

He was floating in the air without being able to hit his face by a piece of paper.

“Miss, I guess I’ll end this.”

“I… I won’t lose… I am… I have to win… !”

“Even if I break your finger?”

widely-.

When Thorin slammed his staff on the floor, Lucy’s left arm snapped and turned into the shape of an ‘L’.

It was a very scary scene, and when people frowned and said “Wow.” or “ugh.”, Lucy didn’t even scream.

“I promised… ! I have to win… !”

Wow-!

The other arm was broken again.

This time, even though it was Lucy, tears poured down her face.

“It hurts… !”

“Surrender. Next time I’ll break your leg.”

“Ha… I can’t surrender… ! I made a promise to Hyde… Because I did it!”

“Hyde. That’s an unfamiliar name. What does that man mean to you? Are you a lover? Are you saying that you will not give up even if it means dying to keep your promise to your lover?”

“Hyde is my benefactor. Hyde saved me… ! If it’s Hyde, he can definitely save other people too… ! I definitely want to bring Hyde with the Queen… .”

“There is no such thing as a hobby that annoys young people. I guess I’ll end this.”

Boom-.

When Thorin swung his staff, Lucy flew out of the arena and was eliminated.

“Ugh profit!”

Milione, who had been watching this in silence, suddenly stood up, bent her knees, and sat down on the chair.

“… Huh, then yes. Common sense tells us that it doesn’t make sense for a kid who learned magic for a few months to beat Sorin, a platinum wizard who has been practicing magic his whole life. I told you so. Lucy will lose.”

# # #

It was Thorin who won the contest to select the royal wizard.

He defeated his competitors without breaking a sweat without any major upsets.

In particular, the opponent in the finals, “Red Gem Keter,” surrendered immediately before even fighting.

“Sorin. I am no match for you. Even if we fight, we will only lose face. I will win in about 20 years.”

“That’s wise. Wisdom is the main virtue of a wizard.”

Truly a cold reality!

said Psyche, who became very depressed.

“What should I do? You said that only if Miss Lucy wins, can you keep peace in the kingdom? Hyde, is there really a war going on now?”

I did say that.

But I was only trying to make Lucy win in order to meet the queen. In fact, even if Lucy didn’t win, there were many ways to win, so I wasn’t even worried.

I just think it might be a little annoying.

“Where is Miss Lucy?”

Psyche looked around.

Milione clicks his tongue.

“He’s probably procrastinating somewhere.”

It was also a time when I was shaking my head back and forth.

Queen Ginevit, who was standing on a high platform, stood up.

“Worship! Worship!”

“Worship – Do it!”

Musicians and knights who sing like songs.

Into the scene, the queen glided down the stairs and lifted Thorin’s arm.

“Today’s winner has appeared! Thorin! I am very reassured that you, the head of the Seraphine family and the strongest wizard, will be my court wizard! Then, there should be a reward for the winner!”

The queen’s voice was loud.

I can’t believe I’m shouting at all these people without a microphone.

Of course, I had the confidence to speak louder, but I was quite surprised that there was someone other than me who showed such great vocal power.

“Say your wish!”

Queen Ginevit said.

Now people’s eyes were focused on Thorin.

Thorin looked around and spoke lightly.

“I wanted to say that I have no wish, but my thoughts changed. Miss Lucy. Please call her. I like young people with determination.”

“Lucy?”

The queen opens her narrow eyes.

She was silent for about 5 seconds and then spoke.

“The king’s promise must be heavy. The winner’s compensation must be strictly observed. Bring Lucy!”

People who start to get upset in various ways -.

Psyche also held on to the railing and gave strength.

“What is about to happen! Why are you calling Miss Lucy!? Hyde! Why are you calling Miss Lucy? why? What is going to happen?”

“Hey! It’s crazy! Be quiet! And sit down!”

Milione, who said that, also stood up.

Since the two women were blocking my path and I couldn’t see the stadium, I had no choice but to get up, but soon everyone else got up.

It was literally a situation where the entire crowd in the stadium woke up.

Lucy, whose arm was bandaged, walked slowly between them.

“Mademoiselle. A good wizard is able to understand his opponent’s level before competing with him. That is wisdom. My final opponent, Keter, was smart and didn’t even start a losing fight. The young lady is also young, but she is a great wizard. You probably knew you couldn’t beat me. Right?”

“… … .”

Lucy did not answer Platinum Wizard Thorin’s question.

I just nodded.

“But the young lady didn’t give up. Why is that so? The only wizard who has fought against me and not given up is the young lady.”

“I won… .”

Lucy is crying.

It seemed like no words were coming out.

“I wanted to win… !”

“They say it’s foolish to hit a rock with an egg. Still, I like it. Hitting a rock with an egg. Sometimes you wish the egg would win. That’s why magic is fun. Because you can make an egg that can beat a rock. The first wizard must have been an egg.”

Sze-.

Thorin held out his fist towards Lucy.

“Miss Lucy. If I were to win like this, it would be as ugly as the tyranny of a huge rock. It’s cowardly. So I’ll give her another chance. Would you like to play rock, paper, scissors with me? If you win, the wish is yours. I will give you a chance to beat the rock.”
