Chapter 127 – 127 – Court Mage Contest #1

127 – Court Mage Contest # 1

“If Miss Lucy wins, there will be peace?”

Psyche asked me.

I answered seriously.

“I am truly an errand boy to whom the Lord has given me many roles. I have many plans for world peace and the spread of the gospel. Miss Lucy winning is also part of the plan.”

Lucy.

If I could somehow get her to win the contest to select her court mage, then of all the things I had planned, it would work out the best.

“But there is a problem with this plan. The Court Wizard is literally a competition to determine the best wizard. “Miss Lucy has excellent talent, but—.”

A beginner who has only learned magic for a few months.

To be honest, it was difficult for Lucy to win because even veterans who had dedicated their lives to magic would participate in the contest to select the court wizard.

“But Miss Lucy will win.”

I said.

Then Milione, who was listening to the story, cracked the wooden glass containing the beer and frowned.

“How can you be sure?”

“Bokor, the curse witch of the Blood Crusade, appeared in the royal capital. What this means is that the Crusade will participate in the court wizard competition and cause trouble.”

For example─.

Because of Bokor’s curse, the leading candidates for the championship are complaining of unexplained stomachaches.

Of course, there was no such thing as a curse in the world.

However, it was clear to Bokor that she would stop at nothing to win, and there was no guarantee that she would not put diarrhea-causing herbs in her competitor’s food bowls, drinking water, or wells.
Surely you would do that?

Parr-.

Psyche trembles.

“Now that you think about it, the Blood Crusade is so quiet. Rust, I don’t even know where that guy is or what he’s doing! “I’m sure he’s out in the dark, planning terrible things with terrible people!”

“…”

I had a mouth, but in many ways I couldn’t speak.

Ivory Tower located on Royal Road, the royal capital.

In this place, which can be said to be the academic research center and birthplace of all kinds of magic, numerous magicians have trained and studied for their own reasons.

“Hey, have you prepared for tomorrow’s competition?”

“No. I couldn’t do anything! “And you?”

“I couldn’t do it either! Absolutely nothing! But you’re not saying that you didn’t prepare even though you worked hard to keep me in check, right?”

The wizards of the Ivory Tower were busy preparing for the royal capital’s court wizard selection competition to be held tomorrow.

Female wizards gathered at the table and chatting.

Someone sneakily approached them.

“Oh, you’re Miss Watson?”

“Hello, Miss Watson.”

The women welcomed a woman who approached them.

But that only lasts for a moment.

“Miss Watson will withdraw from tomorrow’s competition, right?”

“Anyway, that’s how it happened, but honestly, it’s not even fun to joke about becoming a court wizard. Are you just going to be embarrassed? “I’m giving you advice because I’m your friend.”

“Oh, I remembered something else I had promised. Miss Watson, I’m sorry. “We have to go to dinner!”

Zek-.

These were women who got up from the table and disappeared into the distance.

Watson, who was the youngest wizard to be awarded the gold plate and pentagram and a strong candidate to win the Court Mage Competition, could not understand this situation.

Friends who had been anxious not long ago for not being able to please him were now ostracizing him, treating him like an intruder or a burden.

‘What on earth is this-. Are you going to dinner without me? How dare you leave me alone? Do you think it’s reasonable for you to ostracize me? I will outrun you!’

Swish-.

Miss Watson was a proud and arrogant woman.

Even though she was ostracizing others, she could not allow others to ostracize her.
Just then, someone approached Watson.

“Miss Watson. Are you going to have dinner? There is something we would like to consult with Miss Watson and ask her. Shall we have dinner together?”

It was a group of men.

There were also men who had confessed to Watson in the past.

‘Look. Even though I don’t have any female friends, I am very popular with men.’

Watson was a blonde beauty.

She was in a position to be worshiped by men.
It would be nice to call her a goddess.

‘Originally, I wouldn’t have even bothered to look at them. In particular, will you allow me to be your servant in the future?’

Watson was a man who hated eating alone, so he thought it would be nice to go out to dinner with a group of men.
Of course, she planned to make the men pay for the food.
Her men spoke to her.

“Miss Watson. Are the stories in this book real? Here’s the “Male friend”.”

“I also want to be Miss Watson’s boyfriend, what do you think?”

“Me too. Hehe.””

“… !”

Watson was surprised.

It was because men’s gaze was so blatant.

Now it seemed that men were looking at themselves in the same way as the lewd women in Rust’s blasphemous book.

Watson began to feel that men’s gaze was scary and dirty, and she had no choice but to frown and shout.

“Do you guys know who I am? I—this… Yingying… !”

Wow-.

Watson covered her own mouth.
However, the men had already frowned at her after hearing Watson’s words.

“And. “You really suffer from ‘Habitual Ying Yaing Yeonho Syndrome’, right?”

“As a wizard whose chanting spells are important, if this happens, it’s as if my life is over.”

“I feel like I’m trying to be cute, so I’m a bit upset. “If every time you moan, it’s ying-ing-ya-ing, it’s really a bit—.”

Gossip, gossip -.

People started to get upset.

People’s eyes were stinging.

Watson felt like she had been stripped bare and, unable to bear this insulting gaze, she ran away.
I’m running away.

It was something I had never experienced before.

She locked herself in her own dorm room.

Sniff, sniff-.

Watson lay on her bed, pulled the blanket over her head, and ended up crying.

“… Yingying… Gyuiing…”

It was my first time feeling so humiliated and sad.

People are pointing fingers at you, criticizing you, and bullying you.

Rattling-.

At that time, a visit was held.

“… It’s me, Miss Watson. I heard you didn’t eat. I brought the tray. Do you want to eat together? Miss Watson said that she has been eating with many people since she was young and that she never eats alone.”

It smelled delicious.

It was a stew and bread made from boiled corn and seasoned with sugar and salt. There was also milk poured into a clear glass.

Although it was simple and simple, it seemed like a great feast to Watson, who had not eaten a single meal since morning.

Zek-.

Watson slowly got up from the bed.

“…”

And glared at her own roommate, Lucy Emma.

‘It’s clear that this guy is trying to make fun of me and give me trouble. He must have been waiting for revenge on me because I especially bullied him.’

She might have put bugs in her bread or soup.
But when she looked, it didn’t seem like she had done anything like that, and it only became clear that she was edible.
Guuuuu-.

A sounding ship.

In the end, Watson, unable to hold back his empty stomach, slowly ate the soup.

Lucy also started eating with Watson.

Delicious-.

“Ying yaing.”

Shocking-!

Watson covered his mouth in surprise.

Lucy said while looking at that.

“I can’t believe I’m saying things I don’t want to say. Are you tired? I know because I’ve been there too! They said I was possessed by a ghost, so I was hit with cold water! “I get mistreated every day!”

“…”

Watson recalled Lucy’s history.

From the Grande Convent, said to be haunted by Walpurgis witches.

It was something that could very well happen.

“But in the end, Hyde helped me! In this way, she helped me meet many people in the royal capital. “Miss Watson is very popular, so I’m sure lots of people will show up to help!”

No.

There were no people to help Watson.

Everyone was pointing fingers and criticizing because they thought it was time.

The only person who helped me was Lucy, who brought the tray and ate with me.

Why are you so nice to me?

Watson asked very carefully.

“Ying yaing.”

But.

What came out of my mouth was still a strange story.

Lucy asked, feeling terrible in many ways.

“Why are you so nice to me?”

“Kyuiing… !?”

“Are you asking how I understand this time? Actually, I don’t know. I get the feeling that maybe they’re just saying that. Me. If you look at a person’s eyes for a long time, you can tell a little about a person’s heart. Maybe it’s just my mood, though. It became possible after I came to the Ivory Tower. “Is it magic?”

You can tell a person’s heart by looking into their eyes…

Watson was called a genius when it came to magic, so he knew that such miraculous magic did not exist.

But─.

It didn’t even seem like Lucy was lying.

In fact, it seemed like Lucy was reading his mind.

“Me. Actually, I’m glad Miss Watson told me she was her friend! He was the first friend I made when I came up to the Royal Road! Miss Watson is very popular and good at everything, so I wanted to be like Miss Watson!”

“…”

Watson thought Lucy was stupid.

She was convinced that if she lived like that, she would only suffer losses throughout her life.
Lucy said.

“Me! I want to become a court wizard! Because I want to make Hyde, who helped me, meet her queen. Hyde is so awesome! She will never be so nice again! Of course, I don’t know how to dispel magic, so I might be wrong about becoming a court wizard… Hehe…”

“…”

“Sorry. Did I talk too much to myself? “When you’re done eating, I’ll clean it up!”

Zek-.

Lucy gets up from her seat.

Watson, who was looking at Lucy like that, grabbed Lucy’s arm.

“Ying yaing.”
