Chapter 49 – 49. Strange Companion – City of Witches (4)

“Trainee, are you out of your mind?”

What I experienced as soon as I woke up was lying face down with my head stretched out. Naturally, Dick grabbed me by the collar without asking or questioning me and immediately slapped me. In the first place, I was prepared to beat him up without even asking questions if he did such a dangerous thing.

This is another refreshing experience.

“What the hell am I looking at?”

And next to me, Tio looked confused as he saw me lying face down in front of Dick.

Well, I guess so.

Wouldn’t it be a really weird feeling to see someone who fought for life and death lying face down on a strange guy?

Even if it were me, I think it would be strange.

To be honest, I don’t think I would believe Dick if he said he was being pushed around by someone like that.

And I will applaud the dog dripper who overwhelmed it and give him a thumbs up.

Not only is it inconceivable that Dick would lose so badly, but it is also a difficult sight to see.

Well, I’m in the position of learning combat techniques from Dick, and I even learned how to shoot out threads of magic from him and how to fight by creating blades in my fingers, and I kept rolling over and over again to get used to it.

In other words, he is an instructor and I am a trainee.

Regardless of the fact that I’m an excellent wizard, magic doesn’t work on Dick, and I can only inflict damage using the ‘power’ inherent in my bloodline through combat, so at this level, I’m aiming to touch even a single hair of Dick’s hair. I’m losing.

…

This guy is so fucking strong.

Apart from that, if I were to talk about Dick’s treatment now, what would I say?

…

In fact, my grandfather, who must have lived for more than a thousand years, was friends with my father, was close to me, and even helped me with my training.

He is said to be my de facto friend, but his actual status is my ‘godfather’.

He is officially my guardian, entrusted by his father to train me.

And of course, this time my older sister does not intervene.

No.

Can not do it.

Right now, I’m looking at the surroundings with an eye that says I’ll kill everyone who gets in the way, but if I get in here, I’m going to get really scolded. All he ends up doing is glaring at Dick with disapproving eyes, and of course, it doesn’t seem like empty words to say that he can actually exercise absolute power over the beings of the stars.

“Weather.”

And get up from your seat. At the same time, Dick spoke to me.

“Do you know that you almost died?”

“…No, honestly, you’re not dead, are you?”

“…You’re not dead, are you? You’re not dead, are you? Do you really want me to kill you? Ganna, you bastard?”

Damn, I couldn’t even get my money back.

In the end, after rolling over a few more times, I was finally able to eat with my exhausted body.

Of course, the process of subjugating Nia, or rather Atlacnacha, to me. Nia literally wanted to obey me, and even though Nia herself had regained her strength, I was barely able to make her obey.

In other words, it happened because Nia wanted to obey me from the beginning.

After fainting for a full week, I was eating porridge that Anna had cooked for me to soothe my stomach, which was begging for food. Actually, I think I can eat meat right now.

It seems like Anna’s eyes are looking at Dick with resentment, asking if they can treat someone who has just woken up like this, but of course our teacher doesn’t care about that at all.

If I had to say it, he was the kind of guy who would make a disgusting expression on his face.

I tell Anna I want some of her meat, but naturally she refuses it.

“No, master. I haven’t eaten properly in a week. If I eat, I’ll get sick.”

“Do you think I’ll be okay?”

“I absolutely cannot allow it. If my master does something wrong, I won’t be able to live in this world. It’s not possible. Besides, if you eat like that when you haven’t eaten properly in a week, it will hurt your body. Do you understand?”

“Mol?Ru.”

Give me meat. Meat. Mite.

Of course Anna calls, looking at me with her scary eyes. And she grins.

“Master.”

…Tsk.

In the end, I tried to be playful, but Anna, who is stricter than anyone else when it comes to my diet and health, said it.

In the end, although it is unfortunate, she accepts and eats what Anna is slowly feeding her.

That said, eating suddenly can upset your stomach.

That would be true for an average person, but I don’t think it would matter at all to me.

It’s so tantalizing that it’s driving me crazy and I want to tear into the meat, but despite that, I don’t refuse Anna’s favor and instead accept it.

The rice prepared by the exclusive maid is the most delicious, but the delicious rice turns into just porridge.

…Just think of it that way.

Sobbing.

Although I felt like I had suddenly become a child, I could feel that Anna’s utmost care was still there.

…I really missed Anna’s touch after I left for the expedition.

Of course, I wasn’t stupid enough to look for something that wasn’t there, I just missed it.

If you don’t have it, you have to survive as if you don’t have it.

How many times have I thought that I was glad I didn’t bring Anna into that battlefield where her blood was splattering and her flesh was cracking?

And once again she surrenders her body to that touch, so even though she is really outside the house, it doesn’t feel like she is outside.

“Okay, go ahead. I’ll help you brush your teeth…”

“I can do that?”

Of course, this is a bit much.

Naturally, he walks away with a disappointed expression, but that’s all.

I ate slowly, swallowed the porridge, and repeatedly, oblivious to the attention of those around me. I was absorbed in my meal, and after I took Anna away from me, who was trying to make me brush my teeth, I took a breather and looked around.

The appearance of Tio Gransha next to his older sister.

And I saw a pattern drawn on Tio Gransha’s chest.

As for what kind of pattern it was, it was her sheep’s head with horns and a heart drawn on it, and it was a dependency contract spell drawn to my older sister’s taste. Of course, that was drawn by my older sister.

“…What do you mean, wouldn’t it be right for me to do it?”

A courtesy to a former enemy.

And I thought it might be too harsh to treat someone who had been bothering me for a long time. To be honest, Tio attacked me here and she was subdued by Anna, but she took it away.

“I also needed an ‘assistant’. Clark, do you know that? Just like you, I never had an apprentice witch.”

To witches, they are regular witches, just like wizards raise their own disciples. And the relationship between apprentice witches and regular witches is similar to but slightly different from that of wizards raising disciples.

Anyway, I do various things.

At the very least, raising a disciple is also related to the wizard’s own honor, so once you decide to raise a disciple, you have to help your disciple grow into a great wizard.

However, as a side effect, there is the evil of attaching a talentless wizard to a talented wizard and taking the talented wizard for yourself. There are cases where it is put that way on purpose.

My student Lorraine did that, and I made her into a great wizard to show off, so it doesn’t really matter.

Craftsmen do not care about tools or materials.

And sending such a disciple to the front lines?

To be honest, isn’t that annoying?

They do all kinds of checks, tricks, and trickery, while throwing blunt threats at you.

What’s also funny is that they couldn’t even properly understand the talent of that ‘Dunjae’. In fact, he was nothing more than a gemstone without knowing how powerful a talent he had and whether he specialized in one field of ‘magic’, and of course I I saw that talent.

The more I know, the more I can see, and the more I know how to do, the more I can do, which is why I was able to save Lorraine.

How much mistreatment have you really suffered?

And the fact that my sister didn’t even take on an apprentice witch, is this a similar case to mine?

“Oh, that’s not the case. Clark, you can see what she’s thinking? To put it simply, for witches, the existence of an apprentice witch is literally like doing a variety of things. It’s different from a wizard.”

Most of the people who come to learn magic are nobles. Lorraine, who was criticized for not having talent, is also a noblewoman.

The Lionheart family, a branch of the Waitley family, was also a noble, and he was also a noble. As a matter of course, since he is a noble, he is also restricted from doing things that are unnecessary or harassing or molesting his students.

This means that it is a relationship where mutual respect exists.

That wasn’t necessarily the case.

The problem was that there were cases where the children of great nobles abused their power, and it was a problem I also experienced, but to be honest, it was Magia’s ruling ideology to encourage the cultivation of disciples for the continued development of magic, so I followed it. Otherwise, I would just have been stuck and become a magician. I must have been studying science or something.

There were people around me who wanted to tarnish my reputation in any way possible, so they manipulated the son of a great nobleman who was like a problem child to go to me.

Something like that happened to me too, and of course they destroyed my magic circuit so that I could never think of learning magic again, and I was expelled from the list of wizards.

Although he is said to be a kid, he is very arrogant and thinks of magic as a way to kill his time. He shows a tendency to play tricks on his teacher like a clown, so he openly points his head at him and asks him to break the earthen pot, so he breaks the earthen pot. As a bonus, his family is so mean to him, so when he is teased, he will attack him. Did.

To be honest, it’s okay to say that my actions account for more than half of the reason why there were so many wizards who came to kill me in Magia, but even so, what am I to know about the circumstances of those who openly try to attack and fuck me?

In fact, the problem of raising a student was solved by Lorraine anyway, and the process of raising a boy who showed natural talent in the field she knew how to do was one of the few joys for me.

And how will this guy survive? There was also something I was curious about.

I realized that I, who had only ‘scratched the surface’ of learning, had talent, and I think it was a fateful meeting.

…

I should add one more thing.

Lorraine Lionheart.

I need to take this damn puppy-like disciple and put him back in Magia.

Anyway, I ask my sister again.

“So, Tio Gransha, let’s have him as your disciple?”

“In addition to the ‘thunderbolt’ type of magic, I was also skilled in black magic, so I took that as my ‘disciple’. Why not?”

“It must have been useful, considering you took her right away after seeing her.”

“Well, is it better than the trashy witches that are commonly thrown around?”

“…What kind of life did she live there?”

“Are you the only one who wants to do it?”

Well, it’s not my place to tell others.

Anyway, after seeing Tio Grand Shah, Tio looked at me and immediately lowered her head and said.

“…For that reason, I decided to accompany you.”

“Actually, I was planning to replace Anna.”

That’s because Anna beat him up and subdued him. And when he sees Anna, Tio trembles and immediately avoids her gaze. Wow, is that really that traumatic? Naturally, Nia, who was snuggling up next to me, was also looking at Tio, and then looking at her Ji Yi. Her god-level being was openly glaring at her, but she clearly thought that would be difficult.

“Well, don’t worry. Hehe…More than that, Clark. It’s about the ‘contract’. Did you say Nia’s true name?”

“…Well, I’m sorry if I made you worry.”

“Yes, yes, no. I don’t mean to offend you with that. But…I never thought you could do that in your current state, did you?”

“…”

“You know, sister – she’s really waiting for you, you know?”

…Unlike usual, I can hear a great deal of harshness in my sister’s voice. As I looked at Nia, I saw that she called Nia by her real name and made Nia ‘subordinate’ to me. And after that, my sister was looking at me in a more soggy state than usual.

…What is it, sometimes I played a game with my sister while moving around.

They are looking at me with eyes that long for more than that.

Dick said to me from next to me.

“…If I were to tell you roughly how your sister is feeling right now, I was thinking that I couldn’t get her pregnant yet, so I left her alone, but then she suddenly got a woman from outside her family ‘pregnant’ and is going to have a child. “It must be the feeling of a ‘real wife’ knowing that you can do it, right?”

Uh…Wait, isn’t that angry?

And Dick looks at my face and laughs.

“…You still have no idea how crazy your sister wants you.”

I feel like I found out something I shouldn’t know.

And at the same time, I look at Nia and then at Lucy. What is going on in his head beyond those dark purple eyes?
