Brrr…

​

The magicians who had suddenly gathered at the castle began to tremble in fear.

​

Gulp.

​

The sound of someone swallowing spit echoed through the silence.

​

Anxiety spreads quickly through people, like when black paint is dropped into clear water.

​

“Why, why did you call us?”

“Rice, it won’t be a big deal, right…?”

“Yeah, right… I guess he’s saying he’s going to cut my money in half because I paid him too much for just sitting around and using clean magic… ”

​

Some people somehow tried to tell themselves that it was nothing to forget their anxiety, but even so, they could not calm their trembling hearts.

​

“Oh, so we can’t work anymore?”

“What, what are you talking about! Se, Celine will protect us!”

“No, it seems like you caught Alpha’s eye and are acting like lovers, but honestly, Celine isn’t pretty enough to catch the eye of such a high-ranking person… ?”

“Oh, no! We can’t let our kids go back to eating only one meal a day!”

​

Eventually, someone who couldn’t overcome their anxiety ended up saying the worst thing without any sense.

​

Is it because I’ve lived my whole life watching what other people think?

​

Even though they were respected and called the wizard by the soldiers, they did not realize how important they had become.

​

I didn’t know that it might be inevitable.

​

‘Ma, can I sew using magic…?’

​

The armless woman kept wiggling her legs and wondering if she could use magic to sew faster.

​

‘If I could fly with magic, wouldn’t I be able to do physical things just like other people?’

​

A man with no legs wondered if he could use magic to do things like lift wood or carry heavy loads like other men.

​

“Thank you for waiting for a long time, everyone.”

At that moment, anxiety spread everywhere.

​

Alpha has appeared.

The one who pulled them up from the dark and lightless pit.

​

There was no one who had any hostile feelings towards him, not even the beta mail ones.

​

Having lived their entire lives being ignored by others, their masculinity had completely died, so they felt pure gratitude for what Alpha had done for them.

​

“It’s Celine.”

“It’s Selim.”

​

And as soon as he appeared, the anxiety among the people began to disappear as if it had never happened.

​

Celine is a sorcerer and a member of the lowest class of society who has lived in the same situation as them.

​

Their lives changed from the day when rumors began to circulate among them that she was Alpha’s lover, although it was never officially acknowledged.

​

It must have been Celine’s efforts to change Alpha’s mind.

​

That’s what they thought. That’s why they couldn’t help but feel relieved when Celine appeared next to them, still standing there as if she were Alpha’s lover.

​

As long as she is in Alpha’s favor, there’s no chance that they’ll suddenly be laid off en masse.

​

Of course… some unlucky people might get fired…

​

*

​

It was a good thing that you brought Celine along to show us.

​

The expressions on people’s faces brightened in an instant.

​

These are people who are not in good health. They reported that they feel anxious because they are different from ordinary people.

​

In the midst of all this, they were all called to Yeongju Castle… I couldn’t even imagine the anxiety they must have felt while waiting for me to arrive.

​

‘Phew… ‘

​

Standing on the podium like this and looking down at the people, it finally feels like I’m an alpha male.

​

An alpha male’s job is not just to take superior females to breed superior genes. It’s his job to lead the pack and move it forward…!

For a while, I couldn’t do it properly because of the arrogant beta males who thought they were alpha males, but not anymore.

​

So it was time to do what I should have done for those who followed me a long time ago.

​

“I know that you are all anxious even after learning the advanced art of magic. It is probably because you have been persecuted for a long time simply because you were born different from others. But I promise you today. I will do my best so that you will never have to tremble in anxiety again!”

Clap clap clap.

​

People started applauding my short speech.

​

Of course, their applause had no power or emotion. They just clapped mechanically at the end of my speech.

​

But there was a glimmer of hope for me.

​

People who are staring at me without doing anything else or sleeping.

​

There was definitely anticipation for me in those eyes.

​

I don’t just tell them to stop being anxious.

​

“Let the priests in.”

“Yes.”

​

I called one of the soldiers who was waiting and had the priests I had called in advance come in.

​

Five or six priests enter, dressed in pure white vestments.

​

“Oh, priests!”

“The priests are here!”

​

The mere appearance of the priests caused confusion among the magicians.

​

Of course, in a good way.

​

Those heavy-assed priests must not have come all the way here for nothing. That belief was spreading among the magicians.

​

“Are you ready to keep the word of God and dedicate everything to the great god Eldinia?”

​

Gum-dum-dum.

​

And as if his faith was not in vain, the priest took the hand of the legless man in front and recited a simple prayer.

​

If they were nobles, they would have answered right away since it was so common, but there was no way that these people, who had been the lowest class of society until recently, would have been able to answer.

​

Unless it was an emergency, this form was very important to the priests. So now the priests frowned, feeling a little neglected.

​

To the point where I might have gone back right away if I hadn’t received such a huge donation.

​

“Here, you can answer ‘yes’.”

“Ah! Yes!”

A man who realized only after the priest whispered in his ear, bowed his head and shouted loudly as if he was deeply moved.

​

“You have given everything to God. God will protect you!”

​

Paaat-!!

Light began to shine, and two legs began to grow from the legs of the man who had no legs.

​

“This, this is walking…? Run, run! I, I’m running!!”

​

For the first time in his life, the wizard was able to run and jump like other people, and he enjoyed the miracle of the gods to the fullest by jumping and running several times.

​

“My… my arm!!”

“I can talk!!”

In this way, one by one, all those who had physical problems began to return to normal.

​

“Ahem… Alpha Lord. That’s it for today. Your divine power is at its lowest.”

“Okay.”

​

After healing about 10 people, the priests informed me that they could not do it anymore.

​

You may have some divine power left, but it’s not for use against them.

It belonged to nobles or other wealthy families.

​

I felt like cursing at the sight of religion rotten to the core and becoming a parasite to politics and money, but I saw them off with a smile.

​

“Yes, thank you.”

“Come back when your divine power is restored.”

“Okay.”

​

After seeing them off.

​

When we returned to the meeting place where the wizards had gathered, there was a mixture of joy and sorrow.

​

“Me too! I want to walk too…!! Not with this one leg, but with both legs!”

“Ababa-! Baaaa!!”

​

The side where the body is normal and the side where it is not.

​

For those whose bodies had not returned to normal, it was like a funeral home.

​

“Hey, Celine! I did a good job for you! Right? I was the one who fed your son when he was crying because he was hungry!”

There were even people who took their anger out on poor Celine.

​

“Everyone be quiet!”

“… .”

​

He shouted with mana in his voice in the hall that was like a battlefield.

​

Then, once again, eyes focused on me.

​

“As I said, it may take some time, but I will make sure that you will never have to worry again. I have already paid the priests enough to heal you. I promise that none of you will be left without treatment. So please do not worry and follow the instructions of the wizard Celine and move in an orderly manner.”

“Excuse me, are you really going to treat me too?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you… Thank you… . Heuk… Sob!”

​

People who shed tears and thank me for their salvation.

​

Looking at this, I felt that the money I invested was worth it.

​

*

​

Wheeing-!!

“Waaah!!!”

While the wizards were being healed by the priest, one of the knights was flying in the sky.

​

Alpha said he was wearing something strange called a wingsuit.

​

Wingsuits are so dangerous that they usually result in death.

​

Kwaaang-!!

Just like Erica now, who fell with a scream.

​

“Wow… Captain. This… is too fast. It seems like it’ll be hard to get to the destination properly!”

“Lack of training! Tsk. Tell the wizards to give them a few more slowing spells. ”

Fortunately, Erica got up unharmed despite crashing to the ground with a bang and explained the problem.

​

This was possible because they were knights who could increase their durability by covering their bodies with aura, and because the wizards had added several slowing spells to their wingsuits.

​

“I can’t use the magic stone… ”

Leona frowned as she saw that the magic stone attached to the back of the wingsuit was completely shattered.

​

“Ewww!!!”

Hearing the screams of another knight jumping off the cliff, Leona had a gut feeling that it would be very difficult to train knights to the satisfaction of their master.
