Chapter Index



    Seriously, why are you like that? (2)



    The church of the imperial capital.

    In the past, it was called the Great Hall because of its magnificent appearance, but now it is open to the general public and plays the role of a top-level hospital with a faithful pope and his followers as the center, unlike before. A middle-aged man leisurely walked out of that place and approached the horse cart prepared at the entrance.

    And when the magician who came out of his magic tower along with him, acting as his secretary, opened the door, there was a black-haired warlock woman who was occupying the entrance with her slender legs crossed seductively, glaring at him with a frown on her face.

    “Go inside, why are you doing that in the direction of the people riding?”

    “Tch! Weren’t you the one who stopped me from entering the church?”

    “I had no choice but to block you because you were going crazy about taking your disciple. Don’t blame me for what happened because of your childish nature.”

    -Knock knock!

    “Profit… “

    Her hair color aside, if it were any other man, it would have been natural for him to be drawn to her beautiful appearance and slender figure.

    Because the secretary right next to her was also furtively glancing at her deep thigh slit.

    But the Empire’s wizard Clarke doesn’t care at all and just kicks her legs with his hard shoes, forcing her in and making room for her.

    “So, how was our disciple?”

    “Are you only worried about your disciples and not your disciples? It was you and the dark female magician who were really in danger.”

    “Ha! He can be a little sick. He must have done a lot. And then he will be able to achieve his desired goal. Anyway, how was Rudis?”

    Clark strokes his chin and thinks as he watches Piana speak as if she isn’t worried about her student who fell after using magic two levels higher than her level using a magic book of considerable level.

    If you really wanted to claim you weren’t worried, you shouldn’t have made such a fuss when they were both brought to the church a few hours ago.

    She looked so worried as she stood before the high-ranking priests, saying that they couldn’t believe her and that she would take care of the treatment herself. It was definitely not a look of complete lack of concern.

    Especially on the male side. Anyone could see that Rudis was simply exhausted from magical power, and it was something that could not be cured with black magic. But she still went on a rampage, insisting that she would cure it herself.

    Clark wasn’t stupid enough to not know who his annoyance, anger, and worry were directed at.

    “As you know, it was just a loss of magical power. Now that some of the magical power has been restored, I’m completely fine, so I don’t know if I was really sick.”

    “… … “

    Clark, who knew her true feelings, deliberately only brought up the topic of Rudis and then closed his mouth as if he was testing her.

    And Piana, who understood Clark’s sarcastic joke, glared at him with her eyebrows furrowed.

    I was quite resentful of him for blocking me from entering the church and not properly informing me about the safety of his disciples.

    If I stopped talking there, his eyes would immediately turn to me as if he was going to storm into the church and show his force.

    “… If you’re going to live, don’t force it and worry about it properly.”

    “Director Nam.”

    “Haa, really, the personalities of you Black Tower guys… No, stop it. To get to the point, the female disciple is scheduled to undergo a thorough examination today. She has regained consciousness, but even from my rough estimate, damage has accumulated in her magic circuits.”

    “Did it look serious?”

    “Well, considering that even the magic power that is visible on the surface is in disarray, I wouldn’t say it’s a good situation, but in my personal opinion, it seems like there’s no problem.”

    “Do you have a medical license?”

    “None.”

    Piana frowned again at his irresponsible answer.

    But before her discontented voice could burst out, Clark continued.

    “Your disciple’s magic book. In my opinion, it was at least a national treasure. I don’t know where he got such an item, but it wouldn’t have been strange if his magic circuits were completely burned out, not just damaged. But now that he’s up and doing stupid things, it’s probably because of the magic book that there won’t be any big problems.”

    “… … “

    A magic book left behind by Rudis after she was stabbed in the back by her stupid sister.

    Piana also knew that the magic book was an incredible item, but she never thought that even the magicians of the empire would call it a national treasure.

    ‘Rudis, what on earth did you make at that age?’

    The same goes for the Catalyst of Transcendence, and Nora’s Magic Book. The disciple keeps creating things that are truly incomprehensible, and his dizziness and his heart that he doesn’t want to let go of the man only grow stronger.

    After the conversation ended like that and the cart started moving, there was a brief silence between the two.

    And the first one to break the silence was Piana.

    “… But what about our kids? Do you know anything about that?”

    “I didn’t ask.”

    “?”

    “Just by looking at it, it seemed like he had no idea what I was trying to say. Asking was a waste of time, and… No, I guess I don’t need to talk about this.”

    “No, you left me here to ask them that and you didn’t ask them? That?!”

    Clark once again received a look of genuine annoyance from Piana.

    But this time, he just looked at the passing scenery of the magic car without saying anything and let out a heavy sigh.

    Because this was a situation that he hoped his partner, Piana, would not know about.

    “No! Why are you suddenly ignoring my words and giving me a free pass?! Give it to me!!”

    “! What are you doing…?!”

    Piana, who was sitting in the opposite seat, waved her hand roughly and moved her magic. Clark, who was unable to deal with her sudden action, ended up having the tablet inside his large magic bag, which he had been hiding with his magic, revealed itself and was snatched away.

    In this world, there had never been a human who could destroy his own magic. The reason it was possible was because it happened to be a black magician who was not afraid of his opponents at all, and he ended up getting hit.

    “What is this? It’s not even paper, and it’s so thin and wide that it’s annoying to handle… Oh, it doesn’t even fit in the palm of your hand.”

    “Piana! Can’t you give it back right now!!”

    “Oh, wait…? Oh, that’s enough.”

    Piana quickly manipulated the tablet she had snatched from him and played another video stored on it.

    It was the last night of the ranking battle. The Dark Night Magic was tearing apart the fantasy world.

    -Eww!!

    ” Didn’t you say you were going to ask them about this? Honestly, I thought it was a serious problem, so I took a step back on purpose, but what are you going to do if you don’t ask! Huh? “

    “… … “

    A woman’s voice is heard from the video on the tablet she held out.

    The sight of magic unfolding as if it were tearing the world apart, along with the sound of something struggling, was a scene captured ‘from a different perspective’ than the one shown to Rudis or Nora.

    -Eeeeek! Are you crazy!! Where is the magic that tries to eat the master who created you?! And on top of that, everyone here is exhausted and the girl is alone!! This is fucking ridiculous! Seriously, aaah!!

    A woman shouting in front of the fallen Rudis, Nora, and Harb.

    Imperial Princess Coti Royal Labyrinth.

    She was using [Black Hand] magic to prevent them from getting caught up in the black magic that did not disappear even after completing its purpose.

    However, if they continue to endure like this, it is clear to anyone who does not know magic that everyone, including her, will be caught up in the aftermath of the Dark Wild.

    Naturally, the person involved also knew that, so he shouted and expressed his annoyance.

    -Profit…! This shouldn’t have been discovered! Commoner! Did you faint?!

    -… …

    -The Black Witch too…! Oh, she might be dead since she burned down there. That low-ranking noble girl…! Her eyes rolled back too?!

    It was a situation that could be called a life-or-death situation. However, the princess checked several times to see if the three people who had fallen were truly unconscious before she began to use her magic.

    -Please don’t get up, it’ll be a pain to explain. Ugh…!!

    The princess, who began to ‘accurately’ use a considerable amount of magical power, rather than the low attribute level and small magical power that Rudis and Nora knew about.

    So she is.

    -[Lv. 4] [Black Tower]!!

    -Kuuung!!

    He began to use magic like a black magician who had reached level 4 of the same trait as Rudis.

    Of course, she didn’t build nearly ten black towers, but she built three barriers on her own in an instant, and she started to chant additional magic while sweating like rain.

    -If it’s the same magic, it’ll be canceled out. Since I’m the one using it anyway, the power won’t be high… [Black Magic][Lv. 5][Black Wild, Shadow!]

    Based on the three black towers in the princess’s castle, a much smaller castle than the Black Castle that Nora and Rudis had used together, but just as ominous, was built in the opposite direction and began to collide with the giant Black Castle that was collapsing.

    However, unlike Nora, who paid a considerable price for using magic that did not match her level even though she had a national treasure magic book, the princess only sweated in pain as if she had consumed a lot of magic power, and adjusted her magic without a single note of pain, and made the two magics collide and cancel each other out.

    And in the aftermath, the fantasy world eventually collapsed completely, and the video ended.

    “That guy’s Dark Magic Attribute Level 2. And he hasn’t been learning Dark Magic for long. Well, let’s just give him 10,000 steps and say we understand. But, he controlled and used both [Black Tower] and [Black Wild Castle] by himself? I absolutely will not understand this. But, didn’t the Tower Lord go and ask our kids as if he knew something? “

    “… … “

    Piana, who is pushing the Imperial Tower Lord as if questioning him.

    And Clark frowned, unable to respond to her words.

    The magic car carrying the two people ran quietly all the way to the Imperial Tower. And then.

    “Haa. I’ll tell you, her affairs are a closely guarded secret even in the Empire. Even the Emperor knows everything and is involved. Seriously, only a very small number of people know about it.”

    “There’s no reason not to do that, right?”

    “So you should never tell anyone else. Do I understand correctly?”

    “Let’s go in and take a look.”

    “… I’ll tell you since I saw it, but keep it a secret. If it gets out… “

    “Oh, what the hell are you doing that’s taking so long! Are you just going to take the video and leave?”

    Inside the stopped car. Inside, Clarke admits that he can no longer hide the situation and confesses the truth to Piana.

    “… What is that, then Rudis… ?”

    “I don’t know. But I think it’s highly likely.”

    “Washpal.”

    And Piana, who heard the truth, just wiped her face and sighed deeply as if her head hurt even more than Clark’s.
