“Let’s talk somewhere else first.”
If the children who were just startled by the noise were to come out of the daycare and come here, they would definitely have the chance to experience noise beyond imagination. And it was obvious that all that pain would come to me.
After we got to a place that was a bit far away, I was the one who brought up the subject first.
“So what happened…!”
“Sorry, sorry, sorry!!”
“I said it’s okay.”
“Heeeek! Okay, I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”
“…”
No matter how many times I told her it was okay, Cecilia seemed to have already closed her ears and begged for my forgiveness with both hands clasped together. This is not going to work.
There was no guarantee that Cecilia’s condition would improve as time passed. I had no choice but to speak to Liam, who was next to me.
“Liam.”
As my gaze shifted to Liam, he hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Yes?”
“Why are you suddenly using formal language?”
“I just thought it should be like that.”
“Oh…”
I was surprised by Liam’s honest answer.
When fighting Blondie, he seemed completely oblivious to his surroundings, so I thought he was a child who couldn’t read the mood.
It’s not that he can’t read at all. However, he misunderstands one thing.
“It’s okay to be as comfortable as before. I’m not angry, I just look angry.”
It’s a bit sad, even though I said it with my own mouth.
“But Sister Cecilia is like this…”
Liam looked at Cecilia, who was trembling, with a look in his eyes that said he couldn’t completely believe what I was saying. I quickly blocked his gaze with my hand.
“Don’t worry about him…for now.”
“…Okay.”
“Good idea. Then can you tell me why the fireball fell in front of me?”
I smiled as much as I could to make Liam look less scared, but my intentions didn’t quite get through to Liam.
“You’re angry, too.”
Liam looked at me again with suspicion.
“I told you it didn’t work.”
My firm answer forced Liam to explain the whole situation to me.
“I’m currently learning how to use magic from my older sister Cecilia every week. But my older sister is really bad at explaining things, so we fought a bit… If that’s the case, then show me yourself! I got angry and said, but my older sister used magic. But I didn’t control my strength properly and shot it into the sky, but my older sister had too much mana, so it didn’t disappear and flew all the way here.”
“Um…”
This time, I gave Liam a suspicious look. Liam must have read my gaze too, and he shouted at me in confusion.
“Really! I can’t even use magic in the first place.”
Some people can’t control their strength.
Who says you can’t use magic to learn from a wise man?
Do you want to joke with me?
I wanted to believe it, but I couldn’t.
But if you look at the amount of mana that filled Asbel’s sword, that statement would be true.
But you’re saying I can’t use magic?
“Is it because Cecilia taught me a difficult magic?”
“No, I was teaching you fire magic.”
I nodded.
Now that I think about it, that’s probably why the fireball landed in front of me.
However, fire magic was a basic 5-element magic. If you were a wizard, you could use it as much as you wanted with just basic knowledge…
“How on earth did you teach me to not be able to use magic?”
“If you concentrate your strength in your danjeon and feel the flow of mana, and follow that flow to find the location of your heart, which is the source of mana, and control it somehow, and if you can use mana freely, then in that state, if you move the mana with your hand and think of fire…”
“Enough, you can stop talking.”
I shook my head, holding my aching head. The wise man is a genius.
And it is said that geniuses cannot understand ordinary people. Conversely, ordinary people cannot understand geniuses.
I haven’t been able to use magic until now because I have to explain things to a child that I don’t understand easily.
Cecilia’s teaching ability was worse than I thought.
‘It’s my fault for expecting too much.’
“That…I guess I couldn’t use the magic because I didn’t understand it well.”
“No, I can understand…but if you just do that, the magic won’t come out.”
“?”
I was momentarily taken aback, but Liam probably felt embarrassed that he didn’t understand and lied to me.
When I gave him another suspicious look, Liam shouted.
“Stop doubting, bro! That’s a disease too.”
Liam got angry at me for a while, then calmed down and continued talking.
“I’ve managed to control mana, but the magic just won’t work. Do you know why, hyung? Sister Cecilia also doesn’t believe me because she thinks I don’t understand, just like hyung.”
“I can’t understand why even that great sage doesn’t know.”
“But Sister Cecilia said that my brother is good at using magic.”
“No matter how well you write, can you write better than him?”
“I see…”
Liam sighed and lowered his head with a sad look on his face. He wished he could give her some advice.
I don’t have any talent for magic. All the magic that Cecilia saw was done with the help of Asbel.
[Asbel’s sword snorts and praises, but he says he won’t give you anything]
‘How long are you going to be upset…’
[Asbel’s sword said it did not sense a sincere apology from you]
‘It’s so damn tricky…’
“Well, it’s not like there’s no way.”
“Huh!? Really, bro?”
I feel like I said something I shouldn’t have said at that moment, and at this crucial time.
Liam, who didn’t know that I was talking to myself, looked at me expectantly. All I said was to ask the sword to do it…
‘Excuse me… Your Excellency.’
[Asbel’s sword listens]
‘Please help me just this once. I’ll apologize later.’
[Asbel’s sword smiles and slowly nods]
[Kraberg’s fangs make a displeased expression]
‘No, one side is getting better so the other side is getting screwed.’
[Two swords raise question marks]
‘That’s a stretch. So what’s the solution?’
[Asbel’s sword says that the boy must overcome]
‘?’
It doesn’t help.
I shook my head strongly.
This advice was too irresponsible for Liam, who was meeting him for the first time. I don’t think it’s something I can easily say, especially since I don’t know his past.
“Ha…”
As I sighed silently, Liam urged me on even more.
“Ppa, tell me quickly, bro!”
“That…”
The delay actually turned out to be poisonous.
“Why don’t you just ask Lina or Sarah?”
“…”
Liam sighed deeply, looking disappointed, as if he wasn’t satisfied with my answer.
“Of course I already asked. But Lina said she didn’t know and ran away without giving me any advice.”
“Then what about Sarah?”
Liam exclaimed in admiration, perhaps remembering that moment, and stuck out his tongue with an expression that said it was the first time he had ever seen something like that.
“That older sister really has no answers. She shows me body gags like, “Eww! Hook! Poohshung!”… Honestly, I didn’t understand what she was saying.”
‘…No matter how talented someone is, they still have holes.’
Their advice left me feeling more frustrated than Liam. From people who were teaching theory to kids much younger than them to people who were trying to express everything in onomatopoeia.
Liam, who was able to control his magical power with that, seemed amazing once again.
“There is no other way…”
“Liam!”
“B,Blondie!?”
Liam quickly grabbed my arm as he saw Blondie approaching from behind me, and brought my ear up to his mouth.
“Keep it a secret that I trained, hyung.”
Liam’s face was red as he spoke in a small voice. I smiled at that sight and nodded.
“Okay.”
“Thank you.”
“But is there really a need to keep it a secret?”
“I trained like this, so I don’t want to be remembered as someone who can’t use a single spell.”
“Oh… That’s cool.”
“Ahem. Anyway, if there’s a way, please tell me anything.”
“…”
I bit my lip at those words.
Liam didn’t seem to see me like that, as he continued to take deep breaths to calm his reddened face.
But as if that wasn’t enough, he started mumbling something like “Ugh…calm down.”.
As the distance between them and Blondie grew closer, Liam pretended not to care and shouted at her with a dry wash.
“Why, why did you come!”
“Why are you suddenly angry! I didn’t want to come here either.”
“Then why did you come? We’re busy.”
“Oh, you came here because your brother called you saying he had something for you. Or should I take your present too?”
“No! Hey, let’s go back quickly.”
Liam bravely grabbed Blondie’s hand and walked away. Hmm…
“Liam!”
“Why, bro.”
Liam, who was eager to get out of the place, looked at me with an expression telling me to hurry up and tell him what I wanted to say. It was something he clearly didn’t want to say.
Even though I know it’s irresponsible to say this, I believe that if I say it, it will definitely be resolved. That’s how much I trust the sword.
I don’t know why Liam is training in secret.
I don’t even know why you want to use magic.
In the first place, I don’t know why I have to come all the way here and watch kids dating. I can’t do it myself…
I said with a hollow laugh.
“I think it would be a good idea to try to overcome it.”
“Suddenly what…Anyway, I get it!”
[Asbel’s sword says you are a spineless person]
‘I’m a man who changes his words a lot.’
[Asbel’s sword says your character is low quality]
‘I already know.’
I confidently answered Asbel’s sword. Asbel’s sword was also shocked by the absurd sight and stopped talking to me. I won.
As I was so happy, I saw black-dyed hair in front of my eyes.
“Ah, it’s finally gone.”
“…?”
“Long time no see?”
“What the heck, take Cecilia out again.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that because I promised you I’d let you out after Liam leaves. What, even if I brought you, what would you do?”
“I’ll try to become friendly with you. So change it quickly.”
“You are so shameless.”
“That’s just my personality.”
“Well, that’s why I’m interested in you. Did you like the gift I gave you?”
“A gift? No way.”
“I dropped you on purpose, but you’re still alive?”
“Hey, Inma! I almost died back then!”
“Don’t be so angry. I knew you would stop it.”
Cecilia, a black-haired woman with a bewitching smile, slowly approached me. I did not avoid her, but responded to her provocation.
Black Cecilia whispered to me, seeming annoyed by the sight.
“I hate you. And I hate you so much.”
“…Why?”
“Because Cecilia is afraid of you. Anyone who threatens her is my enemy.”
“…”
I swallowed the words, ‘Then aren’t you the most dangerous person?’
“Now that I think about it, your magic…ah, it looks like your time is up.”
“What? Hey, finish what you said!”
“Um…Let’s talk about the next story next time. If you can’t, ask Cecilia. She knows what I’m thinking.”
“Hey!!”
“Hehehe.”
She fell onto my shoulder with another bewitching smile. And a few seconds passed.
“Sorry, sorry!!”
I caught sight of an ordinary Cecilia, trembling with fear, covering her face with both hands.
“It’s not your fault.”
“But this is also my personality…”
“It’s okay. I didn’t have fun…but it was still interesting. And I’m more used to speaking informally.”
“Ah…yeah…”
Cecilia’s face suddenly hardened and she looked up at the sky. Why was she looking at the sky so anxiously?
But I don’t think something like a fireball will fall.
I swallowed my anxiety and looked up at the sky.
Fortunately, the fireball didn’t hit the orphanage. But an even bigger meteorite was hitting the orphanage. Oh… really…
after…
If this meteorite hits, everything within this radius will probably disappear.
I held the sword in both hands and gripped it tightly. Then I relaxed my grip again.
‘This is beyond my capabilities.’
So believe!
I looked at Cecilia, who was reaching out to the sky with a weary expression on her face.
Kwaaang—!!
A loud noise rang in my ears.
At that sound, I looked up at the sky again.
I could see the meteor disappearing with Cecilia’s magic. What is this…
“Ugh…Ugh…”
Cecilia, who was having a hard time, spoke urgently as if explaining herself to me who was surprised.
“Rain, if you control light magic well, you can make it suck everything up like black magic… It’s a bit of a difficult concept, though…”
“If it’s difficult, you don’t have to explain it.”
“Ah, I see…now is not the time for that.”
“Good idea”
I lowered my head and took a deep breath.
And I looked at the people in front of me together with Cecilia.
“Can we resolve this through conversation?”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
“The wise man is exhausted and that bastard is just a retard!! Kill him!!!!”
Oh my god—!!!!
‘…That’s harsh.’
Okay!!!
