‘Everyone who has entered the academy knows this, but I will briefly touch on the origin of magic. This is the basics of magic.’

‘In the distant past, opinions were divided about what magic actually did. It is a miracle given to humans by God. It is the power of rebellion that breaks the rules. It is a stepping stone to approach the being called God. In addition, countless opinions poured in.’

‘However, modern wizards do not worry about this. Because Archmage Erginus discovered the origin of magic.’

‘Magic is about spreading one’s will to the world through the power of magic. It is the mercy given by God to helpless humans, and it is also the sum of wisdom accumulated by sages of the past.’

‘You who will become wizards in the future. The content written in the textbook will serve as your foundation, but don’t get caught up in it. Magic is as diverse as there are people. Keep exploring yourself so that one day you will find your own magic.’

When Joey first enters the academy and meets the magic professor. A wizard with a high reputation in academia said this as soon as the first class began.

Most of the students turned a deaf ear to her explanation, thinking it was something wizards usually talk about, but not Joey.

Joy, who had seen with her own eyes what magic was for just one person, knew that the professor’s words were sincere and not false.

And because I knew it was sincere, I also understood how difficult it was to reach that sight.

her father. The sight of the miracle performed by the duke of the Patran family was so amazing that she doubted whether she could achieve it even if she devoted her entire life to it.

“Wizard?”

“…Yes. Four?!”

“Concentrate.”

“Yes!”

After losing consciousness for a moment, the skeleton’s voice brought her back to her senses. She took a deep breath, exhaled it, and turned her gaze toward the magic circle again.

Until now, Joy had never thought that there was more to it than the scenery her father had shown her.

The magic of Duke Patran, the greatest wizard in the kingdom and said to be second to none among the geniuses of the Magic Empire, contained such wonder.

However, at this moment, Joey had no choice but to admit that his thoughts were wrong.

The great wizard who laid the foundations of modern magic and was respected by even the God of Magic, the greatest wizard in history, broadened Joy’s world.

“Now let’s start teaching.”

“…Ah.”

When the skeleton snaps its fingers, the magic completed by the archmage’s abilities returns to the beginning.

Joey sighed in regret at losing his wonder, but the skeleton spoke out, ignoring him.

“This part. What was your intention?”

“I wanted to deal with hallucinations. I took reference from the magic related to Haeju…”

“I didn’t ask him.”

“…Yes?”

“Wizard. Did you really think that you needed help to destroy the power of the void?”

“…”

“Probably not. But since you had no confidence in yourself, you tried to take everything into consideration. Because of that, things went wrong from the beginning.”

The skeleton that reprimanded Joy erased anything related to Haeju from Joy’s magic.

Then, Joy’s magic becomes much cleaner than before.

“Magic is the act of unfolding one’s will through magical power. If the God of Magic hears, he’ll be angry and say that’s not the case, but is it any of my business? That’s what magic looks like to me. Wizard?”

“Yes.”

“Think about praying. What is clearer, a single earnest wish or a wind that continues from week to week, filled with all kinds of desires?”

“I have one wish.”

“Magic is the same. One earnest wish is stronger than dozens of talents. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”

“Specifies what needs to be done and contains only one meaning in the magic.”

The skeleton let out a small laugh at the answer that flowed from Joey’s mouth as if he had been waiting.

“Good. Let’s move on. In this spell, erase what you think is unnecessary.”

Joey, who was being taught by the skeleton, concentrated on his words as if possessed by something.

Friends standing around. A small snoring sound coming from the corner. The sound of someone swinging their mace. None of it could get her attention.

For Joey, a wizard, all that was important was learning about magic.

“…It’s hard to follow.”

Faby, who was listening to the explanation behind Joey, let out a small sigh as she felt dizzy.

She was receiving instruction in sacred magic under Bishop John and was improving her knowledge of general magic, but even that knowledge had limitations.

In the end, what Fabi did as her profession was sacred magic.

As she lacked the basics of general magic, she was unable to completely follow the skeleton’s explanation.

Arthur, who was next to him, also hit the wall. In terms of academy grades alone, Arthur was by no means behind Joey, but not now.

He had to rack his brain desperately to understand the explanation as Joey nodded in amazement.

He had an epiphany as he listened to Joey’s answer, making him laugh like a skeleton.

There was a significant gap in talent between the two men.

I always knew deep down that that guy was a genius. Strangely enough. It seems like that guy is standing further away today.

A place where you can’t possibly catch up. Joy’s eyes sparkle and she speaks non-stop.

The skeleton responded by telling various stories.

The other two people were desperately trying to keep up with the skeleton’s explanation, but the moment was cut off when the skeleton closed its mouth.

“…Lord Erginus?”

“I think I’ve given you enough advice at this point.”

“But not yet.”

“Helping with everything from start to finish is not considered advice. Let’s think about it on our own later.”

“…is it possible?”

“It is possible. This Archmage Erginus guarantees it.”

Erginus left behind Joy, who was full of regret, and turned his head behind her.

I was so excited because I met a decent talent after being alone for a long time.

They even gave me information that wasn’t necessary.

…Time is truly a scary thing.

Even as I sighed inwardly, I wanted to say a few more words to the skeleton.

These are the people who will be with the apostle of the Lord for a long time, so he makes an excuse in his mind that he should give advice as someone who has left behind the burden.

“Faithful person. You are on the right track now. If you work hard, God will definitely answer you.”

“You don’t have to worry. Because I have already received his guidance.”

“Indeed. That’s a good thing.”

Facing Faby’s bright smile, the skeleton turned its gaze to the side, faced Arthur, paused for a moment, and then spoke carefully.

“Heir to the blood of Soladin.”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

“Do you remember what I said at the beginning?”

“Are you talking about sincerity?”

“In order for earnestness to become truly earnest, you must not doubt your own earnestness. Don’t look away. Face each other. That’s the best advice I can give.”

“…I’ll remember it.”

The skeleton pursed its lips as if it wanted to say something, but turned its head away without saying anything more.

At that moment, what caught his eye was Lucy in one corner of the room, repeating the same posture countless times.

At first glance, it looks like he’s swinging the mace carelessly, but that’s not the case.

She is correcting her posture little by little. To find the movement that suits you.

As the skeleton watched Lucy’s movements, which naturally caught his attention, he became certain of one thing.

When I first encountered that little boy, I was skeptical, but now it has become clear.

I’m sure he’s giving advice to that kid right now.

The skeleton approached Lucy’s direction and created a space where only Lucy and herself could hear the sound.

Lucy, who had been aware of the skeleton’s approach from the beginning, checked the barrier and glanced at the skeleton.

“What is it? Sympathetic wizard? I came to ask what I should do to get closer to the idiot fox?”

“…Keuhum.”

The skeleton almost nodded for a moment, but he suppressed him with superhuman patience. This kid is the kind of guy who will spout all kinds of nonsense at the slightest chance.

“Kid. Are you asking for advice from that guy, Ruel?”

“The old man is so cute that he said he would help me. I have no choice but to adjust it. He’s a really annoying old man.”

“…sigh. Big. Hahaha!”

The skeleton laughed louder than ever at the insult to his colleague.

Hahaha! I can’t believe there’s someone who can say something like that to that picky guy!

This is unthinkable when we live as heroes!

Ruel, is that guy still silent even after hearing those words?! Is this something you are enduring inside!?

That guy is as rusty as ever!

“Pity Wizard. Have you finally turned around?”

“No! It’s still fine! Ruel, I can’t show my sloppy side when that guy is watching! Never!”

“Really? Then, even if you bring a stupid fox.”

“Look at that. please. I’ll give you the right advice.”

“Hmm. Try it. advice. I’ll listen and decide.”

It was too arrogant for an attitude toward an archmage, but the skeleton took it easy to accept that attitude.

Well, if that really attractive woman approaches him, he’ll lose his mind.

never.

I will never do anything that will make Ruel happy.

never!

“Are you looking for a movement that suits your body?”

“Wow. How did you know? Maybe you were looking at me with a new, sticky gaze that I didn’t know about? The stupid fox is a smokescreen and actually attracts me.”

“Noisy! What could I do to a kid like you! …sigh. anyway. Back to the main point. If you’re creating something new, it’s better to listen to Ruel’s advice with a grain of salt. As you said, he is an old man and instinctively seeks out regulations and rules.”

When creating something new, you don’t have to completely abandon your existing knowledge, but you shouldn’t rely too much on it either.

If you focus too much on existing knowledge, anything new you create will end up being a derivative of the existing knowledge.

“Ruel is probably angry about what I said and is spouting nonsense right now. Please pass it on. I will refute every single one of them.”
