Seriously, why are you like that? (1)

“So, someone who is busy with ranking management came all the way to the church to see us. What on earth is going on?”

“It’s no use talking so harshly. There’s no way I’d forget what you did a little while ago… “

“No, that’s not what I’m saying?!”

Clark Theodore, known as the greatest wizard in the world of the Imperial Magic Tower, came to Nora’s recovery room and waited for her to get dressed before returning to the room.

Of course, I wanted to go outside at that time, but for some reason Nora told me not to go out, so I stayed inside with her for the time being.

And I asked him a serious question to change the mood as soon as he came in, but this erotic middle-aged man did not start the conversation as if he wanted to finish the story he had just told even if he died soon.

Man, if you weren’t a real wizard I would’ve punched you in the face.

“Hey Nora, you speak up too. Are you going to just sit there and listen while this wizard keeps insulting our Black Tower?”

“… … “

“… Nora?”

I called my sister-in-law to come with me to confront the middle-aged man, but for some reason she blushed and covered her face with both hands, not saying anything.

Mr. Ha. Why is he like this again?

While Rudis was feeling frustrated, Nora was thinking.

‘Is that how it looks? That’s why you’re talking like that, right? Me and Rudis… Ugh… Hehe… Ehehe!’

Before meeting her, she had been brooding over regrets, but Rudis accepted her sincere apology and even apologized to her in return, explaining the situation.

Although she had already had feelings for him for a long time, and thought it was extremely rude to have such feelings for him because of her actions at the Academy, she had no intention of stopping others from seeing her that way.

To be honest, I’m just saying it feels good.

“Tsk, your teacher or you… “

“Please don’t keep getting angry and linking me with the Master. And, you must have seen the disheveled appearance of a grown woman when you entered the room, Theodore, right?

“Ha. The dirty appearance of a little brat with a wet smell has no effect on my status… “

“Wow~! So, you’re saying that it won’t affect your wife at all even if she finds out?”

“?!”

Even as Nora was drinking water in her delusions, Rudis was fighting back against Theodore with all his might.

Memories of a previous life that are no less than the greatest weapon one possesses.

There is information that Clark Theodore married a woman dozens of years younger than him and that he was quite the concubine.

In other words, Clark, who ‘spyed’ on Nora’s disheveled appearance while she was in the locked room, is a person who would have no good things to do if his wife caught him doing it.

“You bastard, as if you know everything about me…!”

“Okay, then. Back to the topic, why did you come~?”

“Huh.”

And I have no intention of exploiting that weakness.

Before he was a wizard, he was a businessman who loved money, and before that, he was a concubine and a husband who loved his wife.

What he hates more than anything is having his wife suspected even the slightest bit of something negative.

That’s why I forced him to talk, subtly telling him that if he didn’t erase the previous story and get to the main point, the current situation could develop into a family feud rather than just an unfortunate accident.

“… I thought I had found a weak point that wasn’t too bad. Too bad.”

“?”

And when he understood that part properly, he started saying something I never would have thought of, and with a snap of his fingers, he took out something much larger than a normal cell phone… something like a tablet PC.

“This is a new cell phone that the company invested in from Imperial Tower is going to release. But it’s too big, so it feels a bit inappropriate to call it a cell phone. So we’re looking for a new name, but since no good idea has come out, we’re thinking of holding a contest, so take part. I’m thinking of preparing a decent prize… “

“Please do it with a tablet. Please send the prize to the black tower.”

“… ?”

Who would think that he’s a money-loving wizard? He takes time out of his busy schedule to advertise every little thing… His frugality is so great that it’s hard to look past it.

When I tried to roughly finish the introduction by just throwing out names I knew and telling him to use them if he wanted to, he muttered to himself, “It’s not a bad name… but it might be a bit problematic in terms of religion…” and finally started to operate the tablet.

“Look. This is the battle footage you fought on the last night of the Fantasy Dome. Surely you won’t forget it. “

“”Ah.””

I never thought that they would record the footage of that day and bring it to me.

As I was staring at the video in bewilderment, thinking that this was an unimaginable situation, a scene of me and Harb diligently casting [Black Tower] magic on the slime began to play.

“Don’t make excuses like you didn’t know what you were doing. I didn’t come here to waste your time.”

“”… … “”

Nora and I probably had the same thoughts at that moment.

That’s understandable, because up until now we had not been in sync and we looked at each other and frowned at the same time as if we were genuinely dumbfounded.

So the video of us fighting the slime kept playing, and at the end.

-Black magic! Level 5 Dark Wild Star!! Shadow…!!

There was a scene where Nora used a link magic trick as a finishing touch on top of the magic I had used.

However, it is clear that at this point our memories were completely cut off.

In other words, the fantasy world collapsed because it could not withstand the ‘overload of activated magic’.

Surely, it must have been so…

-Guuuu…!! Kuguung!!

The video doesn’t stop there, but continues on.

Even with the help of my magic book, Nora still used magic that was two levels higher than her level… Even now, when I look at it, she collapses in a horrible pain, vomiting blood, burning, and next to her, I, who had lost all my magic and lost consciousness, do not move at all like a corpse.

And Harb, whom I had barely brought back, was panting and breathing heavily, his eyes rolled back like someone who had been shot and was dying.

However, the slime could not attack us.

It’s not that I ‘didn’t do it’. It’s that I ‘couldn’t do it’.

Because the magic she used… literally started squeezing the distracted slime as the Dark Wild was activated.

-Khuu …

Based on the black tower I had placed, the giant castle, which had been summoned as if it had always been there, began to absorb all of the slime’s flesh, blood, flesh, and magic power.

And, without stopping there, it begins to absorb a tremendous torrent of magical power, as if sucking the life out of all beings around it.

-Poohwaaak!!

-Kuaaaak! It hurts aaak…?!”

Did the Watt guy who had been absorbed also regain his senses as most of the slime was absorbed by the Dark Night?

Between the howls of a monster, the voice of a man who sounds like he’s being tortured is heard here and there.

And just like that, the ominous and gigantic shadow castle completely erased the slime embedded in the black tower. It even absorbed Watt, the melted form of a man that seemed to have remained there for a moment… and then very slowly, it disappeared, consuming the surroundings.

‘Um… this is hell.’

It is clear that the mountain that was once covered with bushes has become a bare mountain because of the slime, but it is obvious to anyone that the Black Wild Castle is the one who left ‘nothing’ there.

It didn’t stop at just erasing the fantasy-class monster, and even Nora, the one who activated it, and I, who was the reference point, lost consciousness. As if the magic was doing its job, it completely distorted and consumed the surrounding space, and as a finishing touch, it began to tear the space apart and disappear.

It is literally a tactical level of violence where there is no mercy for life.

And so, the video ended at the point where magic began to tear apart the fantasy world.

Perhaps… that was the moment when the fantasy world could not withstand the encroachment of the Dark Wild and ended.

“Do you know what this magic means to people and use it?”

“”… … “”

He asked in a heavy and commanding voice, completely different from a moment ago. He wiped the tablet that was playing the video from his eyes and looked at us with serious eyes.

Well… Even if you haven’t read the novel, there’s no one who has studied black magic who doesn’t know that magic.

Moreover, even if you have not studied black magic, if you have studied even a little bit of history, there is no one who would not know what that magic means to people.

In that sense, Nora and I definitely used magic that left a bad influence on the ‘warlock’.

“That’s because it was a fantasy world. If it were reality, it wouldn’t have ended with you dying, let alone the slime that was the target. Besides, ‘I’ personally participated in the fantasy world’s overload experiment. And yet, the world that withstood my magic was torn apart by that magic. Do you understand what I mean?”

If the world’s strongest wizard had used magic at full power, the other world wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.

However, even without power, it would be said that it was a world strong enough to withstand level 7 or 8 magic.

It’s funny that such a world was torn apart by a mere level 5 black magic, but this isn’t something to laugh about for others.

“The ranking battle survival was supposed to be recorded and broadcast as the Imperial Tower main event. But the magic you used at the end was captured blurry at every point. How do you plan on taking responsibility for this?”

“… You’re not saying you’re doing this because of money, are you?”

“Of course it’s also because of money.”

“… … “

This crazy Susano.

Nora and I looked at the wizard who started a conversation that seemed to be scolding young people who had made a mistake, and then drifted into a story about money, and for the second time today, Nora and I looked at each other with contempt.

However, Clark continued speaking as if he did not care about our reactions.

“The Black Tower’s disciple and his disciple have joined forces to use a historically controversial strategic magic in the Imperial Rankings. Do you think that if this information spreads to the people, the status of the black magicians you are re-creating will be raised?”

“That’s…!!”

Nora opened her mouth, seemingly surprised by Clark’s words. But I blocked her path with my hand and continued speaking instead.

“That’s far-fetched. In the first place, it wasn’t the black magician who caused the damage with that magic, it was the demon. The target of the magic is different. “

“There was also a black magician who meddled with the demon tribe at that time.”

“The Demon Clan’s followers weren’t just black magicians, right?”

“But what caused the ‘Black Night’ incident was none other than [Black Night] magic.”

“I haven’t seen it myself, but I think I’ve studied it. Even if Nora and I use all our magic right now, a disaster like the one in the history books won’t happen, and it can’t happen.”

I was the one who originally thought of using the Black Wild. There is no reason for Nora to be at odds with him here, nor is there any reason for her to be caught up in the blame game.

When I glared at the great wizard of the empire with that meaning, he returned my cold gaze, stroked my chin, and continued speaking.

“During this ranking match, the use of [Black Wild Castle] as well as [Black Tower] will be restricted. If you object, I will distribute this video without editing.”

“?! Hey, wait a minute! I don’t know about the Black Wild, but the Black Tower is Rudis’ defensive magic…!!”

“No, it’s okay. Is that enough?”

I will impose a penalty that limits your abilities during the ranking match period. Nora tried to reflexively object to the conditions set by the wizard of the Imperial Tower, but the target was not Nora, but ‘me’.

So I looked at him, showing my intention that I didn’t care, and he nodded his head heavily and expressed his intention in the affirmative.

“I am in charge of this ranking competition. That is why I have to find a way to maximize the participants’ abilities, but I absolutely cannot tolerate that magic trick. Because I am from a generation that experienced ‘the tragedy of that day’ firsthand.”

“I understand your concerns. So, everything else is fine?”

“Yeah.”

I will limit the activation of the Black Tower and Black Wild Castle spells for us. Is that why you came back here all this time?

Clark Theodore stood up after offering me a fairly high-level magical contract.

“And on a separate note, I’ve confirmed your skills in this survival. So, I’m thinking of putting you two in the seed spots for this ranking match, so know that.”

“”in?””

He thought he would just say goodbye and go back, but after saying that, he left the recovery room as if he had no more regrets.

Oh, wait a minute.

“… Who the hell is that guy? Is he just an imperial wizard?! I guess I’ll have to tell my master that he’s been harassing the black magician Cinde Rudis…!!”

“… … “

The recovery room where the imperial wizard disappeared.

I leave Nora, whose anger seems to be directed in a strange direction, aside and change my thoughts.

It was the same in the novel that there was a seed, but the one placed in that seed was not originally me.

Of course, it wasn’t Nora either.

That’s right, if we go into seed here.

‘What the heck…?’

Raoul, who was originally supposed to be assigned to the seed, and the princess of a foreign country and the adventurer. The story is that two out of the three people were not assigned to the seed.

‘If this continues, does that mean the story will go downhill again…?’

“Wow!! Hey! Rudis!! Answer me!! Who is that guy acting so smart?! Are you saying that you’re a wizard?! Rudis, you have the talent to become a wizard in 10 years too! Should I just turn everything upside down?! I’ll help too… Boom?!”

I covered Nora’s mouth with one hand as she screamed next to me, already having a headache, and let out a heartfelt complaint to God, who must be watching me from somewhere, asking why this is happening again.
