Episode 4: Grade 1 Holy Magic User

I can see the back of a girl who seems sickly somehow.

The girl with the blue hair is named Sisiroka.

She was the one who let me inside after I was arguing with the gardener.

The gardener’s pathetic expression is saved in my mental photo album for all eternity.

She was currently guiding me.

Thankfully, she could read and understood the contents of the letter of recommendation.

This is why people need to study.

I casually asked her on the way, and she said she’s also a Holy Magic User.

She doesn’t have a surname, so she’s probably not a noble.

But her behavior is quite refined.

As I walked following her, I saw a luxurious hallway.

A carpet perfect for stepping on was laid out, and there wasn’t a speck of dust on the windows and surroundings.

A servant must clean it every day.

How much money would you need to live in a mansion like this?

It’s a world of difference from me, who shares a room with cockroaches every day in a cheap inn.

“We’re here.”

As I was looking around the mansion, Sisiroka stopped and turned to look at me.

“This is Raphael-nim’s office.”

Sisiroka raised her small hand and knocked on the door.

Then, a voice from inside told her to come in.

When the door opened, there was a woman there.

A woman in a women’s suit.

Uniquely, she had feathers on top of her ears.

She had noticeable peach-colored hair and stared at me silently.

Sharp eyes revealed above her business glasses.

Raphael Baniola.

She was the Holy Magic User mentor that Bulldog Ajussi introduced me to.

Sisiroka went to her and handed her the letter of recommendation.

“It’s a letter from Bulldog-nim.”

The moment the name Bulldog was mentioned, Raphael’s eyebrows twitched once.

I have a slightly bad feeling.

I didn’t want to stand out for no reason, so I hid in the shadow of a wall.

Meanwhile, Raphael slowly read the letter of recommendation.

“Haaa.”

Soon after, a sigh full of annoyance came from Raphael.

That woman clearly had some kind of bad history with Bulldog Ajussi.

Raphael’s eyes turned towards me.

Her venomous eyes were terribly fierce.

If Bulldog Ajussi is literally a bulldog, then this one is a Doberman.

“The name written here is Harua, is that right?”

“Yes, I’m called Harua.”

“I see, that mutt sent you without any shame.”

As expected, they have a bad history.

Raphael frowned as if she didn’t even want to look at the letter of recommendation.

“Bulldog Ajussi is not a mutt.”

Raphael’s eyes turned to me again.

“He’s the one who taught me how to live in this world.

At least, he’s a good person enough to write a letter of recommendation for me, who has no connections.”

The reason I came here was because of Bulldog Ajussi’s letter of recommendation.

This is purely the kindness he showed me.

Even if Bulldog Ajussi did something shameless to her, he still recommended me despite that.

I have no intention of quietly listening to Ajussi being insulted.

“Ha.”

Raphael laughed as if she was dumbfounded.

“That mutt, he fucked me and ran away.”

“What the, that son of a bitch!”

No wonder his name is Bulldog!

He’s like a beast with his dick on his head!

Raphael laughed in disbelief at me, who was jumping up and down.

Sisiroka, who was next to her, had a bright red face as if she was not immune to such stories.

“Well, it was me who followed him around because I liked him, and it was me who cried and begged and seduced him when he was about to leave. But in the end, the person he chose wasn’t me.”

She revealed a sentimental look, calling it a heartbreaking past.

So, Raphael loved Bulldog Ajussi, but Bulldog Ajussi had his heart set on another woman.

In the end, Raphael even used her body as a last resort, but Bulldog Ajussi’s heart did not turn around.

Is that how he ended up marrying his current wife?

There’s something deep going on.

To put it simply, only Bulldog Ajussi benefited from it.

More than that, he’s sending me to a woman who used to have a crush on him, he’s really shameless.

It’s no wonder Raphael would say that.

“So, after that, the guy who never contacted me sent you with a letter of recommendation.”

She waved the letter of recommendation and stared at me intently.

“That means you have extraordinary talent. Right?”

“They did say I have outstanding qualities.”

“We’ll have to check that ourselves.”

Raphael came towards me.

Coming closer, her long legs stood out.

She’s quite tall.

Bulldog Ajussi might have saved the country in his past life.

“Looking at you up close, you’re even whiter. Have you ever lived in the sunlight?”

“I’ve been rolling around like a dog every day.”

“Then, is it natural? It’s amazing.”

She looked at me up and down with interested eyes.

It seems she’s envious of my fair skin.

Honestly, I don’t know why I’m so white either.

It’s just that I’ve become exceptionally whiter since coming to this world.

“Give me your shoulder.”

Since I was a little taller than her, I lowered my posture, and Raphael pressed on my shoulder.

Raphael’s eyes behind her glasses closed.

After some time, she slowly opened her eyelids and widened her eyes.

“Huh, Bulldog, it’s no wonder that guy would send you to me. You’re a Grade 1 Light Attribute.”

“Grade 1?”

Even Sisiroka, who was behind me, showed a surprised reaction.

I, on the other hand, blinked my eyes.

I followed Bulldog Ajussi around, but I’m a layman when it comes to magic.

I only know about magic exploding and complicated things.

That’s why I was going to learn from Bulldog Ajussi.

“You probably know that magic attributes are divided into a total of seven categories.”

“Yes, I know that.”

Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water, Darkness, Light.

Magic attributes are divided into a total of seven categories like this.

“Those attributes are given a total of 10 grades. From Grade 1 to Grade 10.”

It is said that those who have talent in magic usually have Grade 5.

“If you have a Grade 5 attribute, you can usually handle all other attribute magic. Other attributes also average around Grade 5.”

On the other hand, the higher it gets above Grade 4, the lower the grade of other attributes.

This is because the better one attribute is, the worse the compatibility with other attributes is.

“Since you are Grade 1 in Light Attribute, other attribute grades are Grade 10.”

Now I know why Bulldog Ajussi said I wouldn’t be able to learn other attribute magic.

“Is that a good thing?”

“What are you talking about? There are only two people in this world besides you who are Grade 1 in Light Attribute.

Even then, it’s the highest elder Holy Magic User of the Grace Magic Tower or the Saintess belonging to the temple.”

Listening to this, it was truly insane talent.

Hmm, at this point, living as a Holy Magic User might not be so bad.

Suddenly, resurrection magic started to look a little pretty.

“Suddenly, a guy who’s going to write history has appeared. It’ll be worth teaching.”

Raphael’s eyes sparkled.

It seems my talent has completely captured her heart.

“Raphael-nim, can Holy Magic Users also fight?”

But more than Holy Magic, I needed a means to protect myself.

In order to survive in this uncivilized world, a means to protect myself is essential.

“What? Puhahahahat!”

At that moment, Raphael burst into laughter.

“Do you know why the Holy Knights of the temple are feared?”

“Because they’re strong?”

“That’s also true, but they’re called the immortal legion that doesn’t die.”

Raphael raised her finger.

Then, a ray of light formed at her fingertip, sharpened sharply.

Raphael casually cut her skin with the blade of light.

But the skin was healed at the same time as it was cut.

“See? Once Holy Magic goes beyond a certain level, Holy Magic is constantly activated inside the body like this, healing it.”

I didn’t know that.

No.

Let’s correct that.

This is something I’ve already experienced.

The resurrection magic, my unique ability.

Resurrection magic was not originally a magic that revived me.

It was because I could save others that it was applied to my body in the same way, resurrecting me.

Now I realized the principle of resurrection magic.

“Thanks to that, unless you die instantly, Holy Magic Users don’t suffer much damage.

Of course, not many people have my level of recovery. But automatic recovery is useful enough in battle.”

The Holy Knights actively use this advantage in battle.

The immortal legion that fearlessly advances even when wounded.

I felt their fear firsthand.

I knew it from the cult guys, but the religion of this world is not in its right mind.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to fight, but the answer is yes. Holy Magic Users can fight enough.”

That’s enough.

I clenched both fists tightly.

“I will study Holy Magic hard! Please, take me as your disciple!”

“I welcome it too. Grade 1 Light Attribute is precious.”

Today, I got a new mentor.

* * *

After that, I decided to live in Raphael Seonsaeng-nim’s mansion.

A situation where I have to study hard as a disciple from now on.

I couldn’t learn by going back and forth outside.

So, I was excited to pack my bags and come to the mansion.

It’s only natural since I’ll be living in a noble’s mansion from now on.

I said my last goodbye to my best friend, the cockroach.

It was nice meeting you, and let’s never see each other again.

When I packed my bags and came to the mansion, the gardener who had been arguing at the entrance had a sour look on his face.

But he had no choice but to bow his head to me carefully.

Kya, the true taste of rising in status.

I couldn’t be more pleased.

When I asked a female attendant on the way to the room, Raphael was more amazing than I thought.

She was the daughter of the Grace Magic Tower Lord, the center of Holy Magic.

Wow, Bulldog Ajussi, who just spent one night with Raphael and left without regret in pursuit of love, is amazing.

Anyway, I became a disciple of the daughter of the Grace Magic Tower Lord.

The Magic Tower Lord is granted the status of Baron by the Empire.

Therefore, Raphael, the daughter of the Magic Tower Lord, was also a noble.

I’m a disciple of such Raphael, so let’s just assume that I’m roughly a noble now.

With this, I’ve become one step further away from the uncivilized people of this world.

No, I was originally a different race.

As I was very satisfied in the spacious and clean room, I heard a knock.

“Come in.”

“Ah, yes.”

It was Sisiroka who came in with the knock.

She looked at me with a puzzled expression for a moment, then soon changed her expression.

“Raphael-nim says she will start teaching you right away, so please follow me.”

“I will.”

Sisiroka made an expression as if she was seeing all kinds of strange people.

“Ah, Sisiroka is Raphael-nim’s first disciple.”

Sisiroka was also Raphael’s disciple.

I had a feeling.

“So Sisiroka is your senior, Harua.”

Sisiroka slightly raised her waist and boasted.

“Got it?”

“Yes, Seonbae-nim.”

“G, good.”

Sisiroka was a little embarrassed as if she didn’t expect me to call her Seonbae right away.

It seems she was trying to establish some discipline in her own way.

A senior should be treated like a senior.

“Seonbae-nim, are your legs hurting from walking with those wonderful legs? I will become Seonbae-nim’s legs.”

“Y, yes?”

I ran to Sisiroka as she was and quickly lifted her up.

“Kyaak!? Wh, what are you doing!”

“I can’t bear to see Seonbae-nim walking on two legs! I must let the whole world know about Seonbae-nim’s power!”

Sisiroka is light because she’s small.

Thanks to that, I was able to lift her up with all my might like lifting a cat.

“Now, let’s go!”

“Kyaaaaaaak! Le, let me down! Let Sisiroka down!”

“World, look! This is Sisiroka Seonbae-nim!”

“I, I don’t want to be a Seonbae! Sisiroka doesn’t want to be a Seonbae!”

Whether Sisiroka screamed or not, I ran with vigor.

It was a firm determination to let the whole world know about Sisiroka’s power.

“What are you guys doing.”

Then I got caught by Raphael and got hit on the head.

“Sisiroka is weak, so don’t bully her.”

“I was just trying to let people know about Seonbae-nim’s power.”

“You’re not quite right in the head either.”

The world did not understand me.

I thought Sisiroka would understand that meaning, so I looked at her.

Then she flinched and ran away as she was.

Ah, how lonely.

“More than that, get ready.”

“For what?”

I was with Raphael in the training ground.

“Do you know what the easiest way to learn Holy Magic is?”

For some reason, Raphael had a brutal club in her hand.

“That’s to get hurt on your body and then pour Holy Magic into it.”

“What kind of crazy talk is that?”

“You’re Grade 1 in Light Attribute. It’s faster to grasp and learn than to learn each theory one by one.”

Wow, what a crazy mentor.

“You said you wanted to get stronger, right?”

Raphael gave a brutal smile.

That’s a witch, she was definitely a witch.

“Work hard to get stronger.”

I decided to curse Bulldog Ajussi forever for introducing me to Raphael.
