Chapter 321 – Enlightenment
At the same time as the lower leg stood upright, the mana around it was absorbed into me as it fluctuated like crazy.
And the popularity you feel around you.
No matter how fainted it was, it must have been enough for other women who were talented wizards to notice and wake up.
It just happened, but I didn’t show it separately. It’s probably because he cares about me, who needs to concentrate.
I focused on capturing the realization with a grateful heart.
What came unexpectedly may leave suddenly. So you must take it fully while it is still in my grasp.
How preoccupied were you? At some point, a satisfied sigh escaped without my knowledge.
“Whoa…”
How did you end up with this?
Mana became even more pure. Awareness that extends beyond my body to the surroundings. At this moment, I have taken my first step towards becoming a high-ranking wizard.
Was the world looking at me as the center clear?
And the first thing I encountered with that clarity was… It was Iris, staring at me right in front of me.
As soon as Iris, who had been covering her mouth, confirmed that I had taken care of her realization, she started laughing maniacally.
“Ahahahaha! Realizing while the owner is bar, erection… Ugh! Even in wise time…Hee hee!”
“Master. Please don’t laugh too much. Anyway, I’m a high-ranking mage… Right… Whoop!”
“Ha, but so far haha! Didn’t you put up with it for fear that it would interfere with your enlightenment? Even if you laugh at this level… Puffy! It will be fine.”
“… No, no matter how much I laugh, it’s a bit like that, right? And Elisha, if you’re going to laugh together, why don’t you help!”
While grumbling at the two laughing loudly. Helena asked Iona, tilting her head.
“I am ignorant of magic, but have you really attained enlightenment, Professor? From the outside, it doesn’t look like much has changed, but…”
“Yep. Are you sure. It’s a long time ago, but I remember it clearly when I became a high-ranking mage. Originally, as if following a stronger will, the amount of mana increases exponentially… The Yandel student doesn’t seem to show much because he has too much existing mana. … Oh, just in case, I didn’t mean that I got an erection by becoming a high-ranking wizard!”
Even though Iona said that, certain parts of her were still hard… She kept her mouth shut, thinking that if she spoke, she would join in and make fun of Iona.
She sighed and turned her head. Just as she was there, she was waiting for Fay with a knowing look on her face.
“Gwa, it’s okay, junior… Is your junior like that too? Hey The type that gets excited while researching. There are quite a few among alchemists, right? The kids who set up a tent while watching the formula, or wet it while making potions with expensive ingredients…”
“… Absolutely not.”
Probably not. Maybe.
I scratched the back of her head and lightly checked her body condition. As expected, his condition is close to perfect thanks to his high ranking as a mage and absorbing the mana around him.
Wouldn’t it be that the tired body is recovering and the strength naturally comes from the lower body?
No, it should be…
Still, not everyone giggled at my bottom. Only one person Because Karaman genuinely congratulated me on my achievements.
“Awesome, Master!”
“Yes?”
“It’s already been a while since Master learned magic, and he’s already a high-ranking wizard! I’m sure even the dragons won’t be this fast!”
“No way. It’s possible because I grew up much faster thanks to the dungeon and Fafnir’s arrangements.”
“Yeah! I heard that being a high-ranking mage is a stage where she redefines what she has learned and begins to walk her own path! Isn’t that something anyone can help with?”
With ruby-colored eyes sparkling, ‘Jjoo-in-nim, come on! Carla sent me a look saying, “Give me!”
She stared blankly at that figure, and then, in tears for no reason, she grabbed both of Karla’s hands.
“Carla.”
“Yes? Why is that, Master?”
“There really is only you…”
“?”
She was suddenly Carla, who tilted her head as if she was saying something, but she replied with a wide smile as if she noticed something.
“I only have Master!”
Okay… That’s it…
***
There was a lot of fuss like this, but as time passed and she put on some clothes and her laughter calmed down, then Iris sneaked up to me.
“O master. The master’s realization this time… What kind of magic is the master’s magic?”
Perhaps because she is a high-ranking wizard who has already gone through the same path as me, Iris points out the key points and asks questions.
As she ascended to the ranks of a higher mage, she felt. This is a stage that can only be reached by setting her own standards.
That’s why Iris must have asked what my enlightenment was like. Because each person has different standards.
“It’s Elisha or Lady Lindelheit. She’s familiar with this part, so it’ll be fine, but the owner says, apart from her actual skills, she’s just been introduced to magic. She didn’t want to instill any prejudice, so she deliberately kept her mouth shut… It will be fine now.”
“Huh. Because she has already become a high-ranking mage.”
“Then can you tell me? Master’s magic… !”
“A moment before that.”
Iris, lightly shaking her hand and running towards her while tilting her head.
She blinked her eyes for a moment and seemed to be thinking about what kind of gesture this was, but then she shook her head with an expression that she couldn’t help but guess what she was saying.
“After… Is it like that?”
“?”
“Didn’t you want to stroke this caring body? I know everything! Of course I’m not old enough to be petted! As a slave, I have no veto if my master wants it!”
“… “
“Ruler! Come on, pet me! And when you’re satisfied, tell me!”
Iris, who has no doubt that I will cherish her. But that’s it…
“Did you think I’d just let it go after laughing like that?”
Kong!
I lightly fed Iris honey chestnuts. Literally, she was beaten lightly, so she wouldn’t have hurt much.
“… To?”
But Iris covered her head with her shocked eyes as if the world were collapsing.
“Lord, the master hit me…”
“… Are you sick?”
I can’t do that. Obviously, the power control was perfect.
However, Iris shouted out one word at a time, even her tears welling up.
“Master! Me! You hit me!”
A voice full of resentment, as if his heart was hurting, not his head.
Then he lifted Iris up, sat her on her lap, and stroked her hair. In particular, concentrate on the areas where honey chestnuts were hit.
“Because Iris, you just laughed…”
“The owner… Hi! Me! You hit me!”
“No, why are you crying again? I’m sorry, I won’t hit you in the future. Huh? So let’s stop now.”
“…”
Did desperate consolation work? Only then did Iris stop her screaming and silently receive a smack.
Then Iris slowly lifted her head. It looks like he’s looking up at me as if he’s rubbing the back of his head against my chest.
However, Iris’ expression, which she thought would be crying, was a little different from what she expected.
Her twitching eyebrows. Tightly pursed lips. And even the twitching nose.
It was a typical expression of enduring something, but… The problem was not the crying, but the laughter.
“Whoops. The master is weak against crying… I will remember it.”
“Ah!”
Feeling moved, I grabbed Iris’ cheek and tugged at it.
Keep going.
Maybe it’s because it’s so baby’s skin, but the cheeks are stretched out. Of course, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
“It hurts! It really hurts! Save me, master!”
“Iris, you earned a beating! Is this your cheeky mouth? Huh? You mouth!”
“I was wrong! I won’t play around anymore, so please forgive me!”
“Nope? You don’t like it, don’t you?”
“Don’t be childish!”
“Who was the first to act childish!”
Is this a fight between a grown adult and an elf over 500 years old? It’s really heartbreaking…
Of course, neither Iris nor I have the heart to be grand.
He tugged on Iris’ cheeks for a long time, re-injecting her master-servant relationship, and then let go.
Iris pouted her lips while touching her swollen red cheeks.
She asked again, bouncing around in a strangely resemblance to her crucian carp.
“So? What was the master’s realization? First of all, it was a return to the origins.”
“Origin?”
“If elements are the basic units that make up the world, wouldn’t it return to the state before the world split if all the elements were put together? Combining all the elements into one to realize a lump in the beginning. That is my magic and why I am so obsessed with element combinations.”
“Huh…”
There may be such an idea.
In my admiration, Iris smiled bitterly at her and waved her hand.
“There is no great reason. Elemental magic is indispensable for elves who have just lost their spirits to regain their former strength, but as the owner knows, elemental magic is divided into too many types.”
“So you wished for an origin that could change into any element?”
“That’s right.”
Elven society has developed along with the spirits over thousands of years.
The social infrastructure, as well as technology, martial arts, and magic that have been handed down, are left with strong traces of spiritism.
But what would happen if the spirit was suddenly kicked out?
Of course, the social system will collapse, and as time goes by, it will only degenerate rather than develop.
To throw away everything you’ve built up so far and start all over again… Elves live too long.
Those who remember the glories of the past cannot easily let go of even simple remnants.
Iris was the one who came out of there, but… Well, in the end, Iris was also a generation that remembered the glory of the past, so when she got impatient, she leaned on the spirit again.
Perhaps, even after hundreds of years of research and training, she gave up in desperation to reach the level of an unattainable archmage.
However, the original purpose of Iris must have been to give her people a power that could replace the spirits and a more fundamental power that could be used anywhere.
I felt like Iris, who had just risen to the rank of a high-ranking mage, was inexperienced but innocent, so I naturally smiled bitterly.
“Hmm? Are you the owner? Why are you stroking my hair all of a sudden?”
“Just. Anyway, you said you were curious about my enlightenment, right?”
“Right! I can’t walk another person’s path, but I’m sure there are things I can learn by looking at other paths. This will definitely help me and the owner!”
She grinned at Iris, who was as excited as her child, and stretched her fingers toward her air.
“Look Carefully.”
It’s a bit consuming of mana, but there’s no easier way to understand than this.
I hope clearly with strong will. And all of this is put into language and spit out.
“”Burn up.””
There are no spells or starters. It was just that the mana instantly turned into flame.
Iris’s mouth fell open, but it didn’t end there.
“”Freeze.””
The flame froze in its fiery form.
“”Run it.””
The ice vaporized with a ray of wind and played with Iris’s hair.
Now, with her eyes wide open, she smirked at Iris, who was bewildered.
“Ah… This is a commandment.”
Well, it’s not as great as you might think.
