#15

That day came suddenly.

Two years may be a short time, but it was also a long time, but it was definitely a very dense time, at least for me and my teacher.

During that time, we fought a lot and laughed a lot.

There were so many events that I think I will have the opportunity to tell the story of those days someday.

For example, the day when my teacher gave me a robe and a cone-shaped hat as a gift, or when I burned down my teacher’s workshop…

Anyway, it was a clear and sunny day that day.

Isn’t there such a thing as the perfect weather to go on an outing?

The sky is high, the birds are chirping, the wind is cool… .

It would have been better if I hadn’t been with that grumpy, eccentric old maid like my teacher. I looked out the window with such pointless thoughts.

As I gazed at the autumn seascape, lost in my emotions, and the strawberry milk I was sipping through the straw was almost empty, I heard my teacher speak.

Even the master, a voracious eater who rolls rice in Sol’s eyes, seemed to want to go out and play on a day like this.

“Heaven, get ready to go out.”

When I see you say things like that.

I turned my head in the direction where her voice came from.

It was definitely a long time since I had seen the Master wearing a cone-shaped hat, robe, and holding a staff.

However, it was obvious to anyone that it wasn’t clothing worn for drinking purposes.

Are you going somewhere to collect research materials?

But, in that case, she would go alone.

Since when did it start?

Yes, ever since the Master gave me the witches’ clothes, he started to strictly distinguish between his magic and mine.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed inside.

She has her own thoughts, so she’s gradually distancing herself from me… but it felt like she was being abandoned, so I wasn’t feeling very good.

More than anything, it felt especially strange because I hadn’t seen her studying magic lately.

I asked her, trembling with anger.

“Are you finally ready to teach me the magic of becoming glamorous?”

“You are so consistent.”

“I thought I could learn it by now, but when will you teach me?”

“Let’s talk about that later. Sky, hurry up and pack your bags and get ready. Oh. Pack your personal belongings too.”

“Where are you going?”

“Huh huh… . That’s right.”

A long distance trip with your teacher?

But for something like that… . The Master’s luggage is too simple… ?

I frowned for a moment at her suspicious behavior, but then went into my room and started packing.

If you try to rebel, you’ll just end up eating Sol’s eyes.

There wasn’t much that could be called luggage in my room.

At best, there were only a few items of clothing, and even if I added up all the clothes for each season, it wasn’t enough to fill a suitcase.

The same was true even with underwear.

If all this had accumulated over two years, it would certainly have been a small amount.

But, what can I do? Except for the times when I went out for practice purposes, all I did was stay locked up in this small house and learn magic until I was bored. What’s the point of wearing pretty clothes by myself?

There was no time or reason to go out to buy clothes.

Above all, one of the biggest reasons was that I had such a childish body type that I couldn’t afford to buy clothes.

Adult women’s clothes rarely fit, so you have to look for them in the children’s section. Do you know how self-destructive that is?

Of course, if you include pension materials, equipment, reagents, etc., the amount will increase significantly…, but you probably don’t need to bring all of this.

I grabbed enough materials and equipment to fill half a carrier and headed out.

“That’s all?”

“Yes. You don’t have to empty the entire room.”

“You’ll regret it… .”

What do you regret?

Why do you say such things so shamefully?

“What are you going to do? Please explain in more detail.”

“You’re going to be doing hard work for a very long time. So I think it would be a good idea to prepare well. How about packing everything you have?”

“Ugh… . Then there’s too much… .”

But if the teacher is warning me like that, it definitely seems like it will be difficult… .

Although she has a slightly strange personality and is a bit of a nerd, she is not the type of woman to talk nonsense.

I went back into my lab, gathered up all the alchemy materials I was using, and put them in my bag.

As I was struggling to carry three carriers by myself, the teacher came up to me and snatched two of the bags away from me.

“You’re really weak.”

“I can’t help it. You can tell just by looking at my body, right?”

“Yeah… . Maybe that’s a good thing.”

“What is it?”

“You became a witch.”

“Um… You’re not a witch yet, are you?”

There’s a lot to learn.

Compared to my master, the number of magic tricks I can use is significantly limited… .

Also, I didn’t learn the most important magic, glamour.

But in response to my question, the teacher just smiled broadly.

I won’t answer. Is this it?

Cheet.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes~”

“Okay. Let’s move.”

“Yep.”

Space transfer magic.

It was the most recently learned magic, and it was a technique that required quite difficult techniques.

If you do it wrong, your limbs can fall off and be transferred to another place. What a scary technology.

To be honest, when I first heard that story, I swore to myself that I would never use teleportation again.

Well… Despite that determination, I ended up training hard because of my teacher’s insistence.

That is, it was a magic that I had become quite familiar with thanks to her persistent pressure and my efforts.

Pfft!!

I moved all of my belongings and myself to the coordinates I received from the Master, and it was a deserted park.

Also, did you use some kind of avoidance magic?

Watching her perform magic as naturally as breathing, even before I could sense it, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect for her, even though I knew she was a strange person.

When you become a graduate student, you realize that everything you have learned so far is really trivial. The more I developed my knowledge, the more I realized the gap between me and her.

“You’ve arrived.”

“What should I do now? Are we going to collect mysteries again? How strong must I be to tell you to take all the alchemy tools?”

But in response to my question, she just smiled without saying anything.

Her blue eyes had been staring at me for some time.

It was a little bit burdensome.

“What, what is it?”

“Oh my god.”

“Yes?”

“Get down.”

“Yes?”

I wasn’t asking because I didn’t know what that meant.

She was asking me to leave.

already?

I still have a lot to learn?

I still feel like I’m lacking in many things?

Are you telling me to leave already?

If you’re joking, I want you to cancel this right now.

I felt as if all my blood had drained from me.

But, annoyingly, her will was firm.

“I have nothing more to teach you.”

“What are you talking about!!”

Did you read my anxious mind?

She patted my shoulder and added:

“Have confidence. You are now a proper witch.”

witch….

Yes. I am a proper witch in the eyes of the Master.

Since when did it start?

Did I become a witch the day I was given the robe and hat?

My face was distorted with a mixture of melancholy and regret.

But then one important proposition came to mind that I had momentarily forgotten.

Then what is the magic that makes your chest and height bigger??

Yes. I knew that the moment of separation would come someday.

but….

But! You have to take what you get.

What was the reason I became a witch in the first place!

“The magic that makes your chest and height bigger!!!”

“Woohoohoohoo… . My beloved disciple. Jinha-neul. Let me give you one piece of advice… .”

It’s ridiculous.

Are you laughing right now while hitting someone on the back of the head?

This wicked and evil witch.

What’s even more frustrating is that there’s nothing I can do to beat her.

Physical fight?

I’d lose to an elementary school student.

Fighting with magic?

Even if Master picks her nose and performs magic with her toes, I wouldn’t be able to beat her right now.

“Isn’t it better not to trust witches too much?”

I feel the harbinger of magic.

It’s a space teleportation technique. I reached out to her in a hurry, but she was my teacher.

Eugene, annoyingly, didn’t take it back. He just looked into my eyes until the last moment.

and.

With him,

My dreams of glamour flew away… .

I was abandoned by my master.

“Fucking bitch!!!”

Why have I been living with that dirty woman and trying to please her all this time!

Every morning. Why did you eat rice rolled in Sol’s eyes!

Why did I waste two years of my life, cut off from my family!

It was to change this ugly body…!

I can’t forgive you.

certainly….

I must get revenge.

If I ever learn body-changing magic, I will definitely go for it.

That way, even the teacher will turn into a fool like me.

I was fired up with enthusiasm and picked up the letter she had left on the floor.

Let’s see what the hell he was talking about.

“To the sky.

Hello, Sky. By the time you read this, I will have already disappeared.

Haha. What are you doing now? Running around and swearing at me?

Or are you shedding tears of regret over the breakup?

“You crazy bitch? What are you crying about? Where’s your conscience?”

“Personally, I’d like the former, but considering our disciple’s strange personality, he’d definitely be cursing me.”

“You have a strange personality.”

“Do you think my personality is weird? But in my opinion, there is no witch as weird as you. I told you. Most witches have a strange personality. Among them, you are definitely the best.”

I’m tired of swearing now.

She is a ridiculous woman who is lost in vain delusions and goes around badmouthing others.

It’s the worst.

「Well… . I love you in every way, but. Oh, don’t misunderstand. I like men. Of course, I’m not crazy enough to catch a young boy and raise him, like you.」

“What the hell? Are you leaving a letter to pick a fight with an old maid?”

“Since this is our last greeting, I don’t want to tease you, but what can I do?

Isn’t this the way we should break up?

To say something a little embarrassing, I think that Heaven accepting you as my disciple was the best decision I ever made in my life.

As you’ll soon discover, witches are a lonely bunch.

In fact, the experience of Heaven fighting with you and making up, crying and laughing together was quite an enjoyable and pleasant experience for me. Should I say that it made me feel like I was living like a human being?

Yeah, that’s right.

So maybe, from now on, I’ll feel a little lonely.

Still, I believe that our Heavenly Father can accomplish many things.

So, continue to live strong and healthy.

Your teacher and friend, Eugene Ollim

ps1.

Ah. Speaking of which, if possible, avoid contact with the Awakened.

Especially if you are a high-level Awakened person, you might notice the half-monster we are harboring.

ps2.

I don’t know how to do the magic of becoming glamorous.

Actually, he said he didn’t lie.

You said that witches can do magic that can create glamour. Didn’t you say that I can do it?

Look around carefully. You never know, somewhere out there there might be a weirdo who can perform such magic.

“… … .”

I folded the letter.

I put it in my pocket.

The breakup came suddenly,

The sky that day was high and blue.

Now, I am a real witch.

And of course, Eugene was the worst witch.
