“The old man must know my talent……?”
Raymond paused for a moment. The moment the word “talent” came out, he didn’t miss the sparkle of Lisefield’s eyes. He grinned and opened his mouth to continue.
“Wouldn’t you like to make the youngest man of all time to become a Great Sage?”
It would be such a sweet suggestion. The gaze of the blue tower was shaken. What if the Fifth prince’s talent is added to his “secret transmission”?
“And I have to fulfill my two-thousand-year commitment.”
At the moment, Lisefield, who highly regarded the fifth prince, gave a short sigh at the following words.
* * *
On the first day, it was decided to pass only some of the ‘secret Transmission’ of the Blue Tower, such as Mana’s technique of controlling mana and techniques.
Contrary to the rumor that the fifth prince was a mess, he had excellent understanding. If he teaches him one, he will not only know the theory, but he can also apply it.
On the second day, the 5th prince fully understood what he had given Mana’s technique from “the secret transmission of the Blue Tower.”
Raymond tried practicing them full-fledge, but he fell down because he released more mana than he can handle.
He even asked Lisefield to not tell this to the Emperor .
On the third day, the technique he tried was perfected.
It takes more than 6 months even if one was a genius.
Unlike the first time, Lisefield had no choice but to revise his own views. The confidence shown by the Fifth Crown Prince was not excessive. It wasn’t groundless to begin with.
Fourth Day, unbelievable.
The fifth Prince was about to become a junior wizard.
On the fifth day, he found out that Filde, an elder of the blue tower, came to know that Lisefield had been teaching Raymond the Secret transmission of the tower.
Things have become more troublesome now.
* * *
Raymond hardly slept for four days. He was so absorbed in training that he could barely eat one meal a day.
Each tower has its own secret temple. It is a secret tradition that it is passed on to only one student of the direct line of the owner or one among his recognized students.
As they are passed on in secret, there are things that can cause a great stir if they are known one by one.
The blue tower owner didn’t teach him everything. He just taught him the secret tradition of manna, the technique of the tower, and a few basics.
But…
‘I think I know why you call it a secret transmission.’
The secret transmission of Mana was maximizing Raymond’s talent. It seems that the level of the Junior wizard is already in front of him.
He can’t share these good things with others, so it will be keeping this as a secret.
‘You should use good things alone.’
Others can curse at me for being selfish, I will do anything if I can just survive.
“Fifth Prince.” He was called out in the middle of his training.
He stopped training for a while and turned his head in the direction where he heard the call.
“Old man, what’s going on?”
It seemed to be interrupted by training, but it wasn’t.
It wasn’t a big disturbance because Lisefield had been waiting for three hours before talking to Raymond at a time when his concentration was going to be disrupted and his focus was going to be sluggish.
“You haven’t had a proper meal for days already. If you fall down again, I’ll be in trouble.”
Lisefield spoke frankly. If the fifth princes’ health deteriorates, he would be ashamed to see the emperor.
He was also genuinely concerned about the health of the fifth prince.
He sleeps less than 2 hours a day. And he barely managed to eat a meal a day with a slice of bread.
All the time left is for training. Even Lisefield and other elders, who once lived like hell to become a sage, were shocked at the training method of the fifth prince.
“Is it lunch time already?”
“Yes, Your Grace the Fifth.”
“I’m gonna have to eat something real today. Show me the way to the dining room.”
Today is the fifth day. As the level of a junior wizard is just around the corner, Raymond thought he could at least enjoy a proper meal.
“There’s a restaurant upstairs for the tower members and the elders. I’ll take you there.”
As I went from the top floor to the upper section, I could see the elders of the blue tower and the high-ranking wizards from time to time.
All of them were at least superior to the top level, and very few high-ranking wizards were seen at the elder level.
The meal was excellent. It wasn’t as good as the fifth royal palace, but it was quite delicious. After enjoying a light dessert, he left the restaurant and went back to the training center.
However, there was a person guarding the training center.
“Have you come to Blue Tower?”
He greeted the blue tower owner before Raymond, the fifth prince.
‘I don’t like this.’
He frowned. As soon as Alex was about to step up, the old man’s eyes turned to Raymond.
He opened his mouth with an expression of unknown meaning.
“Your Majesty the Fifth Prince, this is…”
“Isn’t it self-introduction first?”
“Oh, my God, that was rude. My name is Filde, an elder and a senior wizard of the tower.”
Filde introduces himself with exaggerated courtesy. His gesture was smeared with a sarcastic feeling.
“What’s going on?”
“When the Red Tower and the Yellow Tower stood behind the third Prince, the one who was living a comfortable life suddenly came to the Blue Tower, so I came here because I was curious.”
“Your Majesty the Fifth is in front of you!”
Why are you acting like the Fifth prince is an enemy when you’re not even standing behind the Third prince?
That’s what it means. It was obviously sarcastic, and Alex came forward when he noticed it.
The imperial knights were not around because they were likely to be under the command of the Third Prince, so they were forcibly removed from the blue tower.
“Oh, you’re so arrogant. How dare you cut in here! Your Grace the Fifth, will you stay still?” Filde released his Mana and said. Alex stumbled with a short groan as the sharp momentum came under pressure.
Raymond, who could not see it, released a little bit of the energy that the spear of sacrifice had. He used one of the techniques of secret transmission to hide it.
“Hmm?”
Alex’s expression became comfortable, but Filde’s eyes glistened after reading the intangible energy revealed for a moment.
Seeing that, Lisefield sighed, foreshadowing that things would get complicated.
“Your Majesty the Fifth must not have reached this level of energy… Lisefield, did you give him the secret of the tower to the Fifth Prince?”
“What if he did?” Raymond answered instead of Lisefield. However, Filde’s gaze was only briefly directed at Raymond, and was again fixed on the blue tower owner.
“It is said that the owner of the tower has the authority to carry out the secret transmission, but what if you proceed without discussing it like this? Did you become crazy?”
He would have wanted to say, ‘Don’t put your hopes on the Fifth Prince.’
However, he could not say that, so Filde asked the owner of Blue Tower if he had become crazy.
“Did you see any possibility from the Fifth Prince? If so, it should be a possibility worth turning against the Three Prince, the so-called Magic Genius.”
Rough attacks poured in. As soon as the blue tower owner tried to open his mouth, Raymond was a little faster.
“It’s not difficult.”
“Huh? Excuse me, Your Grace the fifth..…. Could you repeat that?”
There was a sneer hanging around the mouth of Filde.
“It’s not a difficult thing. Elder Filde.” Raymond Replied.
“Your Majesty the Third Prince, young in his late 20s, already rose to the level of a superior sorcerer. As far as I know, Your Grace the Fifth doesn’t have any talent for sword and magic yet.”
The more he hears it, the more he sees that he doesn’t respect him even though he is part of the Royal Family.
‘I guess you wanted to stand behind the third Prince.’
The Red Tower and the Yellow Tower stand behind the third prince. He wants to have a blue tower with him there also.
But, the fifth princes suddenly popped out and ate the secret of the blue tower, so he must feel like there’s a thorn in his eye.
“Do you think I’m not talented enough to learn the secret tradition?”
“How could that be?”
And then he smiled slyly. He could see Alex shaking next to him.
He opened his mouth and quietly raised his hand slightly to prevent Alex from coming forward.
“Do I just have to prove my talent?”
“Do you want to prove it?”
“Is there a junior wizard among your students?”
Following what Raymond remembers, there seems to be one among them.
“There is one.”
“Bring him in two days. I’ll prove it to you with a fight.”
“Are you going to be alright?”
“It doesn’t matter, so get him in two days.”
“Yes, I will.”
A smile spread around the mouth of Filde’s mouth, thinking he could officially screw up the fifth prince.
“I have to train hard now.”
“Yes, Your Grace the Fifth. Good luck.”
After sneaking a displeased look, Filde lowered his head and moved away.
“Fifth Prince, Elder Filde will send out his third disciple. He’s a Junior-level wizard, but he’s on the verge of an intermediate-level wizard.”
“Is that so?”
“You can’t win. What do you want me to do?….”
“Stop.”
Raymond cut off the words of Lisefield. It was so frustrating that he couldn’t listen to it anymore.
“There is no impossible.”
He paused for a moment. But his eyes are still on Lisefield.
“I keep my word. By the day of the battle, I will be in the Junior level. So get out of here.“
Lisefield had no choice but to step down to the guest order.
Raymond concentrated on training, saving time to sleep. When his Mana ran out, he recovered by taking a pill.
Even if he collapsed, he got up again and practised Mana.
He did not stop operating despite the pain of his body being torn.
He couldn’t sleep. It was a waste of time.
And finally amidst the time of pain.
He rose to the rank of a junior wizard.
Two days later, the morning of the seventh day of coming to the Blue Tower came.
After staying up all night for training, Raymond finished his change with Alex’s help and left the training camp for the training camp.
As soon as he came out into the hallway, Lisefield followed him.
The Imperial knights were told not to stick too much, so they followed slowly at a certain distance.
But he could still feel their eyes as if they were watching.
“Congratulations on your rise to the rank of a junior wizard.”
Lisefield spoke in a small, calm voice. Raymond opened his mouth with a clear smile around his mouth.
“Did you stay up all night in front of the training camp?”
“Yes.”
“Anyway, I heard you lose sleep when you get old.”
Raymond said it as if he were complaining, but I felt good.
“Just wait and see. I will destroy Elder Filde’s student and save the old man’s face.”
“Can I look forward to it?”
“Of course.”
As they talked to each other, they soon arrived at the training center.
“Fifth Prince, we must accompany you this time.”
One of the four imperial knights who followed came at a quick pace and said. He looked closely at his face because he looked familiar.
‘He’s under Aloken’s command’
He is one of the Imperial knights who stepped back when he met the third prince before. Looking at the lead in asking for company, it was clear that rumors about the Third Prince wanting all the tower beneath is true.
‘You even told them to look out for myself.’
The eyes of the imperial knight cooled down.
The content of the battle will eventually be reported to the third prince, but it doesn’t matter. I can just say I’ve been learning how to handle mana years before.
The third prince will not believe that those who have not learned magic can suddenly rise to the level of a Junior-level wizard in a week even if an imperial article reports.
‘All I have to do is hide the spear of sacrifice.’
I am already afraid of what Lisefield will charge for restoration if I drill a hole in the blue tower again this time.
“Open the door.”
When Lisefield spoke with a solemn look, two Matap knights guarding the entrance opened the door of the training center. The Matap Knight is a hired free knight who is responsible for minimal physical force in the Matap.
“Let’s go in.”
He crossed the door with a calm voice. There were only a few elders of the Matap to act as witnesses, except for Filde and his disciples.
“The Fifth Prince of Pilias is here.” When Alex announced Raymond’s arrival, the wizards stood up, bowed slightly to show courtesy.
The same was true of Filde, but there was still a cold mockery around his mouth.
Next to him stood a young wizard with blond hair and blue eyes.
‘Is he the third student of his?’
Did he feel the eye contact? The wizard grinned and opened his mouth.
“I am Desia Helly, please take care of me.”
Desia Helly?
‘I didn’t expect you to be here.’
Raymond didn’t expect to meet the main character’s colleague this soon.
She is a colleague of the main character in the novel. And at the end of the third volume, she became a genius wizard who ascended to the level of a great wizard. And she is one of the people that must be taken away from the main character.
‘Yeah, I just remember she’s from the Blue Tower.’
There were few descriptions of her past in the novel, so barely remember anything about her.
‘I don’t remember the detailed setting, but I also know that she has learned magic less than three years ago. But I can’t believe she’s already in the middle of being an intermediate wizard.’
In a way, it was one of the reasons to remember, but strangely, Raymond couldn’t think of it.
“Why did he do that?”
‘I tried to recall, but I don’t know why. It’s like the blood of a god wizard.’
Raymond went to the center and stood with short admiration.
“I look forward to your kind cooperation.”
One of the elders of the tower was in charge of the referee.
Raymond and Desia spread the streets in front of the elder, vowing to understand the rules of the battle once more and to use fair methods.
“Your Majesty the Fifth may use a training sword and shield.”
The senior judge said. He did not know that Raymond had risen to the level of a junior wizard, so he suggested that he would use a sword.
Indeed, it is hard to know because his Mana is hidden by secret transfer techniques.
“No need.”
“You’ll regret it.”
Filde’s sarcastic voice came, but when he ignored it and pulled up Mana, the elders gathered in the audience showed their curiosity, twinkling their eyes.
“Hoo? The Fifth Prince may have been walking on Mana’s path after all.”
“That’s not what I expected. There were so many bad rumors.”
“He appears to be the beginning of a Junior-level wizard, but Desia’s is close to the mid-level……. I don’t think the results will change.”
The elder’s conversation was faintly heard.
They only felt interested, but that’s all. No one even thought the fifth princes would win.
Whether or not they believed he could win, Raymond made a spear out of Mana.
Desia squinted and watched Raymond.
She could feel an enormous Mana wave around her. There are only two options left: attack or defense, but Raymond strongly believed that she would choose defense over attack.
‘That’s what Desia does best.’
Desia Helly is a wizard specialized in protecting someone enough to earn the nickname of absolute defense.
She was set up like that, and she’s been living like that.
Even if you cast an attack spell right now, she’ll act as what she’s always been doing.
Habits are scary.
“Whoa!”
The air seemed to freeze in tension.
The two stared at each other for five minutes without saying a word. Raymond was holding the Mana’s spear, and Desia was looking sharp and started raising Mana to respond immediately.
‘From now on, I will teach you the most easily learned attack magic among the secret transmissions.’
Slowly moving toward Desia, he recalled what Lisefield said.
‘It’s easy, but it’s a secret transmission. I can’t guarantee that you can learn in two days.’
That’s what Lisefield used to say. Raymond was a little nervous when he said that.
It was because he thought it might be difficult. However, he did it in the end.
It may not be perfect, but it has reached a level where it can be treated as a strong attack.
“Dessia Helly, I’m sorry for you, but I really hate betraying someone’s expectations.”
A blue mana burst out of his body, kicking the ground and soaring into the sky.
At that moment, all the elders who were sitting jumped up.
“No way, that’s the fifth prince who’s a jerk.”
“Well, that’s….”
“No way!”
Everyone was shocked, and the blue mana danced.
‘Today is the beginning.’
Cold eyes keep an eye on Desia.
‘There’s no more bullshit.’
It’s time to take off the stigma and shine brilliantly.
