Chapter 92 – Back to the Academy (4)

Iris, who only touched her ears a little, melted like ice cream outside on a summer day.

He continued his languid voice as he rubbed his cheek against my chest.

“When learning magic… Be serious….”

“I didn’t expect the reaction to be this intense.”

In spite of her shyness, I lightly squatted on the back of Iris’ neck, and it returned to normal shortly after.

Then she said in a slightly pouty tone.

“The owner doesn’t seem to know much about elves, so I’ll tell you now. Touching the ears of an elf of the opposite sex is a very shameful act!”

“Because it’s an erogenous zone?”

“Well, in such a raunchy place, wouldn’t she have been wearing her ears a long time ago! … If I had to compare it, it would be close to an extremely soggy deep kiss.”

Yesterday, stroking an elf’s ear was like caressing the whole body.

No, are the two roughly the same?

Anyway, it’s nice and embarrassing.

“Okay okay. I won’t touch it anymore, so explain it to me. But there is also Karla, so it’s okay for her to tell me, right?”

“Of course. Didn’t you promise She said that if she would let her stay with Elisha, she would give everything she had in her head to her master. More than anything….”

“More than anything?”

“It’s something that Ms. Carla can’t learn, and she doesn’t even need to learn.”

“?”

Let’s look to her side to see what this is all about. Karla nodding her head while braiding my hair.”

“Iris-sama is right. Apart from my magical talents, my elemental affinity is mediocre.”

“What? Wasn’t the Lindelheit family ahead of the Sylvan Magic Tower in terms of elemental magic?”

“Right. But that’s just because our family was great, it’s not that we had a good affinity for the elements.”

When I look at Iris again, wondering what this is all about, she sighs heavily with a confused look on her face.

“Miss Carla’s words are true. If it’s simply dealing with elements, the Sylvan Magic Tower… No, because I have the confidence to dare to discuss the continent’s best. However, if it becomes elemental magic, the story will be different.”

Just as Elementus Breathing has a unique ability called Elemental Magic Enhancement, Lindbloom Breathing has a unique ability called Resonance.

The mana core integrated with the heart pulsates and synchronizes the mana around it to itself.

As a result, even if the same magic is used, several times more mana is drawn in, and the power is increased exponentially… That is the resonance of the lintbloom core.

Unfortunately I haven’t mastered it yet.

Just as the shadow of an element can only be acquired by mastering the element to the point of engraving it into an image.

The Resonance of the Lindbloom Core is also a unique ability that can only be achieved by growing the core itself to a certain extent.

But why does it come out here?

After blinking blankly, Elisha shook her head from side to side and smiled.

“Think about it, Yandel. What was the advantage of the combination of elements that Master just showed you?”

“That’s the way it’s used outside of normal elemental magic, and the efficiency is good compared to the amount of mana consumed.”

“You saw it right. But one thing is missing.”

“What?”

“I mean concentration.”

“Ah.”

It was a basic magic a while ago, so it was easy to cast, but the higher you go, the more difficult it will become exponentially.

According to Iris, it was said to combine the desired qualities and concepts from two or more attributes as needed.

As much as one process was added to ordinary magic casting, the burden on the caster must have consumed a lot of mental power.

This is an obvious drawback, and can be called a limitation.

When I came to a slightly enlightened expression, Carla smiled broadly and stroked my heart.

Hehe… Although the resonance of the Lindbloom core requires more concentration than usual, it doesn’t make the process complicated. It’s much easier to write.”

“Elemental magic is magic whose strength is that it is intuitive. The reason I didn’t learn elemental combinations from Master is that no matter how powerful they are, they are far from the essence of elemental magic. It doesn’t fit what I’m looking for.”

Iris nodded at Elisha’s timid voice.

“In the first place, the combination of elements itself is a vision made to catch up with the ignorant output of the Lindelheit family. That’s why, unlike conventional magic, the Elementus Core’s dependence is low.”

“Eh? Yes? It’s the first I’ve heard of it. I haven’t heard anything from my father.”

“Because I didn’t have to tell you. Ever since the Lindelheit family established their name, the Sylvan Magic Tower has never crossed its stronghold.”

Iris grumbles, asking how each generation can achieve the level of an archmage that even a 500-year-old couldn’t reach.

That’s right. From Iris’ point of view, after the head of Lindelheit dies, it’s our world! I would have wanted

It must have been absurd and unfair to have the next family head and the next family head take the archmage.

It is now understood that Sylvan Magic Tower has an inferiority complex towards the Lindelheit family.

At the same time, I think I know why she cares so much about Elisha, who has the qualities to become a great wizard.

“Uh… Still, looking at it just now, not only the power but also the usability is good, so if you have a deep understanding of the elements like Iris-sama, I think the story will be different again….”

Iris put on a sad expression at Karla’s cautious tone.

“I thought so too. … But Lindelheit’s direct lineage is just… Well. You just used magic well.”

“Oh.”

“Miss Carla. Didn’t she tell you yourself a moment ago? It’s just that the family name is great. That’s right. No matter how much I have reached the heights of a high-ranking mage, it’s not to the point of being compared to a great mage.”

“Ah….”

The Lindelheit family has always produced one archmage per era.

That’s why it was called the continent’s best mage master.

“Actually, even thinking about it now, I don’t really understand. How is that possible every year? Could there be a Dafa that no one knows about? Something like handing over all the mana before dying.”

“Yes? No way It’s just innate. Our ancestors were born with the heart of a dragon, right? As you know, magic talent is greatly influenced by heredity.”

“Take it. Unlucky things.”

“Uh… I don’t think Iris-sama, who was born as a high elf with eternal youth, would say something… ?”

“Didn’t he grow up properly because of his eternal youth! I’m saying this now, but the fact that I was a virgin at this age must be because of my heart.”

Iris looked at her own flat chest with resentment.

He lightly patted Iris on the back.

“Since you’re not a virgin anymore, don’t be too discouraged.”

“… If you just said that as a consolation, master, please don’t do anything like consolation again in the future.”

That’s harsh.

Anyway, after listening to the story of the three, a question that bothered me like a fish thorn stuck in my throat was automatically resolved.

The lint bloom core is a good trait that can grow up to grade A, but it is not the best trait.

On the continent of Eurelia, there are fewer breathing methods that are much better than that, but they certainly exist.

Right now, the Levantine Imperial family’s mana breathing method, hidden secrets in the night, ancient heritage hidden in hidden dungeons, etc.

I know some breathing techniques that get you up to S rank.

However, until half a year ago, the best wizard was the Lindelheit family, and the Lindelheit family was a master magician in name and reality.

Now I know why.

The Lindelheit family was not a strong family because of their breathing skills.

The bloodline itself was a fraud.

Even if not as much as the first family head who directly manifested the dragon’s factor, all of them must have been born with extraordinary magical talents.

For reference, the Levantine Imperial Family is also such a case.

It’s not as much as the first emperor who was born with the dignity of a dragon, but all the previous emperors boasted great charisma.

The funny thing is that this atavism only comes from humans.

He didn’t really like the eyes of the dragons, like elves, dwarves, or beasts, because they really only stuck with humans.

It must be because of dragons that even though the population is large, humans, whose average abilities themselves are severely inferior, have prospered as they are now.

If there were no heroes who inherited the dragon’s blood that pops out from time to time, today’s Levantine Empire, which occupies half of the continent of Eurelia, would not exist.

Well, even that will collapse in 3 years.

The Apostle of Seething Silence hidden in the deepest part of the Levantine Empire.

The final goal of the guy who regards the fall of one of the continent’s best magicians as an intermediate stage is the destruction of the Levantine Empire.

Maybe it’s because my expression hardened involuntarily when I remembered the strength of the guy I had to defeat someday.

When Iris looked at me, she stopped tickling and went back to the main topic.

“Hmmmm. Anyway, the combination of the elements is such magic. How is it? Would you like to learn it?”

“Yes. To do so Now that I’ve learned how to breathe Lindbloom, will I be able to mix resonance with elemental combinations later?”

He lowered his expression again and shrugged playfully.

“”…….””

For some reason, Iris and Elisha’s reactions were a bit subtle.

“Yandel… Did you not just learn magic from Karla, but also learn how to breathe from her?”

“Yes? Did you say I am also incapable of responding to mana, so I learned to fix that.”

“Right. It was. The Lindelheit family’s breathing, vision, and even magic style….”

“Miss Carla. Did you all have an idea?”

“That is..Hehe….”

What. Why are you talking about what only you know? Join me too!

“Master. Will the Sylvan Magic Tower run well without us?”

“I could bet my entire fortune on becoming a mediocre third-rate magic tower within five years. Even though I don’t have a single penny.”

“Shall we go all-in at this point, Master?”

“It looks like the owner will release us someday… Not bad. In fact, at this point, I don’t have any other options.”

After a brief conversation, the two priests silently nodded.

That expression is quite sinister.

Carla, frightened by this, shouted as she hugged me as if to protect me.

“Ah… Everyone stop! What are you planning to do to my master?!”

“Whoops. He is the master of all of us now.”

“Apart from your magic style, isn’t your fighting style closer to me? Oh, please… You don’t intend to block Yandel’s future with your greed, Kara, do you?”

“Ugh… Ugh….”

Elisha’s words seemed to be the decisive blow, but Carla slowly stepped aside while grinding her teeth.

Iris continued to speak in a triumphant voice to me who was bewildered.

“O master. Did I say I couldn’t keep up with the academy? Don’t worry. Before that, I’ll somehow help you learn the basics.”

“Ah.”

I don’t know what it is, but when I saw Iris’s eyes burning with passion for education, I knew one thing for sure.

She knows she has no time to rest until she gets to the academy.

… Will there be a gap to be shy?
