Chapter 130 – 130 – Court Mage Contest #4
130 – Court Mage Contest # 4
“… I didn’t know because it only said Thorin. Now I understand. Thorin of the Seraphine family… I am a former platinum wizard. She was a court sorceress of the U-Niger royal family.”
Psyche explained while looking at the bracket.
Sorin.
I had seen his name in a book.
Although this was my first time seeing it in person.
I heard he lived a life as a recluse after the fall of the old royal family.
“Can Miss Lucy win?”
Parr-.
Psyche trembles.
Soon Milione spoke.
“I can’t win. Being awarded a platinum plaque means being the best. Platinum Knight Agiles was like that, and Gregory used to be like that. “The platinum wizard Thorin is a man worthy of a knighthood on his own.”
The Knights were an absurd force itself.
If the knights are sent in, the castle and village will be devastated?
However, Thorin said that he was a human being comparable to those knights.
Thump, thump, thump-.
Soon, a man appeared from a distance holding a cane.
Sorin.
He was blind.
“Long live Thorin, the greatest wizard!”
“I heard he went to the Onan region to train. “You’re back.”
“Yes, he is the staff of the Uniger royal family! “I want to become Her Majesty’s court mage!”
Blind.
Is he the strongest magician who can’t even see?
Someone approached him from far away.
“Pink hair!”
“Cheer up!”
“I’m rooting for you!”
She was Lucy.
Lucy waved her hands everywhere and people threw flowers and glitter at her.
My heart was satisfied when I saw Lucy being loved in many ways by people.
“What a wonderful woman.”
“You’re crazy.”
Milione snorted with laughter.
In Milione’s eyes, the whole world seemed crazy.
Pot-.
Finally, Thorin and Lucy faced each other.
A fight between a super rookie and a proven strongman.
It’s natural for people to hold their breath and become nervous.
“Miss Lucy. “Don’t blame me.”
“You too! “I really have to do my best!”
Daaeaeaeang-!
The game started with a loud gong sound.
“The magic of silence! Silence!”
Lucy clapped her hands.
When I was wondering what on earth I had done, Milione said.
“It’s a magic that silences the sound of footsteps. This is a spell usually memorized by wizards who join the Thieves Guild. Lucy, you used your brain quite a bit, right? Did you know you could use something like that?”
Sorin.
He was a blind man.
He would have relied a lot on hearing, etc., But using magic to completely block sound would have been a fatal weakness in many ways.
“Explore the opponent’s weaknesses. It’s important. But it was so foolish to decide to overcome the platinum wizard with his obvious weakness.”
Tak-!
Thorin hit his staff on the floor.
With that, Lucy’s body rose into the air.
People were embarrassed when they saw that.
“You memorized the spell without chanting, right?”
“A guy who can’t even see…”
“Um, is that the platinum wizard…? !”
Tak-!
Thorin slammed his staff down again.
Lucy’s body, which had been floating like a balloon, suddenly fell to the floor.
“Kwaeeek!”
Lucy let out an ugly scream.
Falling onto the hard ground after flying high would naturally have been a huge shock.
Soon Thorin asked.
“Mademoiselle. Will you surrender?”
“I-I can’t lose…” ! Because I promised… ! I am… I promised… !”
Tak-!
Thorin hit her staff on the floor again.
Lucy’s floating body.
This time it was even higher than before.
By looking at this scene, people could predict what would happen in the future.
Everyone looked away or frowned, and Psyche also said, “Hyde!” “It’s a big deal!” He said, fidgeting as he held my hand.
However─.
I trusted Lucy.
I will not be left helpless like this-.
In fact, Lucy’s eyes were still burning with fighting spirit.
“Aoooroursuburikkesuo-. Sex!”
Pot-!
Lucy’s body begins to fall in the air.
Soon Thorin could see the corners of her mouth moving loosely.
“Hoo. Has my floating magic been lifted? It’s a much weirder chant than that. It seems almost like a quirk of unconsciously pouring out the words in your head. “The effect is great, though.”
Undoing Thorin’s magic was great.
However, the fact that Lucy was falling did not change.
However, there must be a reason why Lucy created this falling state.
“Strength comes from weight! Your weakness is that although you have excellent magic skills, you are weak in stamina and body! I am strong!”
Pot-.
Lucy falls backwards and spreads her fists.
It seemed like he was planning to fall like this and hit Thorin with his fist.
Lucy’s strength was definitely quite strong, even if it wasn’t as strong as Psyche or Milione.
If the force of falling from a high place is added to the punch—.
Kwaaaaang-!
Finally, there was a collision with a large cloud of dust rising.
The person standing when the scattered fragments disappeared—.
“Young.”
It was Thorin, a former platinum wizard.
Lucy’s fist could not reach Thorin’s face.
He was floating in the air, unable to hit her in the face by a single piece of paper.
“Miss, I guess I’ll just end this.”
“I am… I won’t lose… Furthermore, I am… Furthermore, I have to win… !”
“Even if I break your finger?”
Tak-.
When Thorin hit her staff on the ground, Lucy’s left arm snapped and turned into an ‘L’ shape.
It was a very scary scene, and Lucy didn’t even scream while people frowned and said, “Ugh.” Or “Ugh.”
“I promised… ! I have to win… !”
Wow!
The other arm was broken again.
This time, even though it was Lucy, tears poured down her face.
“It hurts… !”
“Surrender. “Next time I’ll break your leg.”
“Under… I can’t surrender… ! I made a promise to Hyde… Because I did it!”
“Hyde. That’s an unfamiliar name. What does that man mean to you? Are you a lover? Does he not give up even if it means dying to keep his promise to his lover?”
“Hyde is my benefactor. Hyde saved me… ! If it’s Hyde, he can definitely save other people too… ! I definitely want Hyde with the Queen…”
“There is no such thing as a hobby that bothers young people. “I’ll just end this.”
Buung-.
When Thorin swung his staff, Lucy flew out of the arena and was eliminated.
“Ugh!”
Milione, who was watching this in silence, stood up, bent her knees, and sat down on her chair.
“… Huh, then yes. Common sense tells us that it doesn’t make sense for a kid who learned magic for a few months to beat Thorin, a platinum wizard who has been practicing magic his whole life. I told you so. “Lucy will lose.”
# # #
It was Thorin who won the competition to select the royal wizard.
He defeated his rivals without breaking a sweat.
In particular, the opponent in the finals, “Red Jewel Keter,” Surrendered immediately before even fighting.
“Sorin. I am no match for you. Even if we fight, we will only lose face. “I will win in about 20 years.”
“That’s wise. Wisdom is the main virtue of a wizard.”
Truly a cold reality!
Psyche, who became very depressed, said.
“What should I do? You said that only if Miss Lucy wins, can you keep peace in the kingdom? Hyde, is there really a war going on now?”
I did say that.
But I was only trying to make Lucy win in order to meet the queen. In fact, even if Lucy didn’t win, there were many ways, so I wasn’t even worried.
I just think it might be a little annoying.
“Where is Miss Lucy?”
Psyche looked around.
Milione clicks his tongue.
“He’s probably procrastinating somewhere.”
It was a time when I too was looking around with my head.
Queen Ginevit, who was standing on a high platform, stood up from her seat.
“Worship! “Worship!”
“Worship!”
Musicians and knights who sing like songs.
Into the scene the queen glided down her steps and lifted Thorin’s arm.
“Today’s winner has appeared! Thorin! I am very reassured that you, the head of the Seraphine family and the strongest wizard, will be my court wizard! In that case, there should be a reward for the winner!”
The queen’s voice was loud.
I can’t believe I’m shouting at all these people without a microphone.
Of course, I had the confidence to speak louder, but I was quite surprised that there was someone other than me who showed such great vocal power.
“Say your wish!”
Queen Ginebit said.
Now people’s eyes are focused on Thorin.
Thorin looked around her, and she spoke lightly.
She wanted to say, “I don’t have any wishes, but I changed my mind.” Miss Lucy. Please call her. “I like young people with determination.”
“Lucy?”
The queen opens her narrow eyes.
She was silent for about 5 seconds, and then she spoke.
“A king’s promise must be heavy. The winner’s compensation must be strictly observed. “Bring Lucy!”
People who start to get upset in various ways -.
Psyche also held on to the railing and gave strength.
“What is going on! Why are you calling Miss Lucy!? Hyde! Why are you calling Miss Lucy? Why? What is going to happen?”
“Hey! It’s crazy! Be quiet! And sit down!”
Milione, who said that, also stood up.
Since the two women were blocking my path and I couldn’t see the stadium, I had no choice but to get up, and soon everyone else got up from that point.
It was literally a situation where the entire crowd in the stadium woke up.
Lucy, her arm bandaged, walked slowly between them.
“Mademoiselle. A good wizard is able to understand his opponent’s level before competing with him. That is wisdom. My final opponent, Keter, was smart and didn’t even start a losing fight. The young lady is also young, but she is a great wizard. He probably knew he couldn’t beat me. Right?”
“…”
Lucy did not answer Platinum Wizard Thorin’s question.
All she did was nod her head.
“But she didn’t give up. Why is that so? “You are the only wizard who has fought against me and not given up.”
“I won…”
Lucy is crying.
It seemed like no words were coming out.
“I wanted to win… !”
“They say it’s foolish to hit a rock with an egg. Still, I like it. Hitting a rock with an egg. Sometimes you wish the egg would win. That’s why magic is fun. Because you can make an egg that can beat a rock. The first wizard must have been an egg.”
Zek-.
Thorin held out her fist towards Lucy.
“Miss Lucy. If I were to win like this, it would be as ugly as the tyranny of a huge rock. It’s cowardly. So I’ll give her another chance. Would you like to play rock, paper, scissors with me? If you win, the wish is yours. “I will give you a chance to beat the rock.”
