Kyle Ventia.
Also known as the Knight of Tempest.
A battle mage specializing in speed-oriented melee combat using wind magic to match her nickname.
“Why should I fight you?”
“Because I want to fight you.”
“… … .”
He has a very warlike personality, and is also a combat fanatic who enjoys fighting the strong.
… … Although I did research.
‘I never thought I’d come out like this as soon as we met.’
I didn’t know it would be this stupid.
“I refuse. There is no reason to fight the opposing team’s ace before the Olympiad.”
As if shocked by my rejection, Kyle Ventia widened his eyes.
“why!?”
“Who knows if your intention is to injure me?”
Considering Kyle Ventia’s personality, he probably wouldn’t have such a dark mind.
You never know.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry! There’s a suitable training ground nearby. If you fight there, nothing will happen to your body!”
Kyle Ventia smiled broadly.
It was a very bright smile.
“That’s not the problem… … .”
I faced that smile straight in the face and let out a small sigh.
“Adela. Can you cancel the magic and then step back?”
“yes.”
“Sunchan and you too.”
“… … okay.”
Soonchan and Adela, who were still holding Kyle in check, disarmed the magic and stepped back.
All the other seniors who were on guard took a step back.
“Even if there is no risk of injury, that is the case. I have nothing to gain by fighting them.”
There is no reason to fight Kyle Ventia at this time and provide my information to the British team in advance.
“You can get my information!”
“No need.”
Kyle Ventia’s information is also important, but it’s not information that you have to get by giving away my information.
“I can’t… … .”
Kyle widened his eyes in shock.
It’s an expression that didn’t know that he would be rejected.
It blows my mind that I thought I was going to accept this ridiculous offer.
“Are you really not going to fight?”
“yes.”
“Can I ask for this?”
“yes.”
“… … too bad.”
Kyle Ventia’s shoulders drooped. A look of disappointment is evident.
“Look at that. I told you I wouldn’t be a servant.”
A woman approached Kyle. Maia Nerontia. As a participating member of the British team, he is the actual leader who takes command of the entire team in place of Kyle Bentia, who has a warlike and straight-forward personality.
She consoled Kyle Ventia in British English, her mother tongue.
“Don’t be disappointed. We can fight in a week anyway.”
“… … Okay.”
Maia patted Kyle on the back and looked at me.
“I apologize on behalf of Kyle. Sorry all of a sudden.”
Of course, it was English.
“Kyle didn’t mean anything bad, so I hope you’ll be kind to me.”
“I know what Kyle Ventia’s personality is like. I don’t really care.”
I also responded in moderate English.
“Thank you for understanding. Then we will go.”
Maia took Kyle and turned around. Kyle glanced at me sullenly, her worldly disappointment, then turned and walked away from me.
“Oh, and the pronunciation is good. I like the fact that it’s British, not American.”
Maia looked back at me and grinned.
“See you later.”
Maia waved her hand lightly and went back to where they were.
“Next time, let’s fight with all our might!”
Kyle waved his hand loudly and shouted.
“… … what are those?”
Sunchan let out a laugh.
* * *
Inside the bus heading home.
We were talking about the British team we just happened to meet.
“Thinking about it again, it’s Sangtora. How do you do that in the first meeting?”
Jin Hee-yoon stuck out his tongue.
Kyle Bentia’s fighting mania is famous, but he looks like he didn’t expect him to be that reckless.
“But don’t you get a penalty if you report them?”
Jin Hee-yoon asked indirectly.
“no. I don’t eat.”
“why? You attacked using magic in a public place like this. Aren’t you supposed to be punished?”
“The wind cutter Kyle Bentia used was a mass of wind attribute mana with no lethal power. Even if it had been hit properly, it would not have left a single scratch on it.”
“Ah, so there was no shock whatsoever.”
Soonchan nodded with an expression of ‘somehow’.
“Still, since the attack was carried out using magic, wouldn’t it be against the law?”
“I don’t know if it’s Korea, but this is America. Under American law, that level is not considered a criminal act.”
“ah. I’ve heard American law is something for self-defense… … .”
Jin Hee-yoon nodded as if he understood.
“But, no one can prove that it was magic with no lethal power. It must have been caught on CCTV. Can’t we just go and report it?”
“The British side can sufficiently prove that it is a mass of mana with no killing power.”
“… … how?”
“Among the people watching from the back, did you see someone holding a camera of some unusual shape?”
“camera? ah. I think I will remember. Was that a camera?”
“yes. It’s a magic observation camera. The British side was taking wind cutters with it.”
“To submit as evidence if reported?”
“yes.”
If you shoot with a magic observation camera, you can clearly tell whether the magic is lethal magic or not.
The evidence is sufficient.
“… … Wow, those bastards have faces like meek sheep and prepared for that?”
Jin Hee-yoon said, ‘Scary guys… … .’ muttered, shaking her body.
Adela, who had been quietly listening to the story, opened her mouth insinuatingly.
“Looking at how systematic it is, did you think other teams besides us applied for sparring like that?”
“maybe.”
Considering that Maia Nerontia also said that ‘God Ha-yul’ would be difficult, it is highly likely that we are not the first to request such a reckless sparring.
Judging by the fact that the magic observation camera was prepared in advance, it was not an accident.
“Is the purpose, after all, information gathering?”
“I guess so. If you take a video of the sparring with that magic observation camera, you should be able to get pretty good data.”
If you analyze the opponent’s battle data captured with it for a week, you should be able to come up with some pretty useful data.
“But are there any teams that would accept such an absurd match request?”
Sunchan asked as if wondering.
“A lot.”
“Why are there so many?”
It’s a look that I can’t understand.
“Think of it from the point of view of other teams, not ours. Would you just blow up the chance to get information on Kyle Ventia?”
“ah.”
Collecting information through Dalian is not the exclusive property of the British team that applied for Dalian.
The opposing team can also collect information through Kyle Ventia’s sparring.
“Even if they expose their information to some extent, if they can obtain Kyle Ventia’s information, it is a profitable business. This is it.”
“yes.”
Kyle Ventia’s information is nothing compared to that of quite a few teams.
“Then wouldn’t it be better if we sparred?”
“no. Our situation is different from other teams. You lose more than you gain.”
“why?”
“Because my information is more valuable than Kyle Ventia’s.”
“aha.”
Kyle Ventia’s information has already been released to some extent.
On the other hand, what about my information?
Some abilities were revealed, but most were not revealed.
It is a self-evident fact that the value of my information is higher.
The situation is different with other teams.
That’s why he refused the Dalian.
“Well, I was wondering if I should try to confuse them by giving them fake information. You don’t even need to do that, do you? We already have a good plan.”
“Do it.”
The strategy against the English team is perfectly conceived.
In such a situation, there is no need to add a variable for nothing.
“Are all your questions answered?”
“uh.”
“ok.”
Soon-chan and Jin Hee-yoon nodded at the same time.
* * *
We got on the bus and drove for a while until we arrived at the accommodation.
“Then, time is time, and everyone will be tired, so I’ll assign rooms quickly.”
It is now 1:00 AM in the US.
It’s not the time to do anything.
I immediately completed the room assignment and key distribution.
“Then I’ll see you here tomorrow morning at 9:00. Everyone, have a good rest.”
“good night.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Instructor. You worked hard today.”
“Yes, it was hard.”
The seniors and instructors lightly greeted each other and moved to their respective rooms.
“Then I go first. rest.”
“uh. good night.”
Soonchan enters Room 206 first. I went into Room 207 next to it.
“The room is nice.”
The interior of the hotel was truly splendid.
‘I must have spent a lot of money?’
While thinking that, I took a light look around the room.
‘All good. The inside air and humidity are also good.’
I didn’t even have to look closely. It is also a room designed for conditioning players.
Very satisfied.
I immediately lay down on the bed.
‘The mattress is good too.’
Soon after checking the bathroom and washroom.
I immediately unpacked the carrier.
‘Ah, I have to wear a robe first.’
Before organizing my luggage, I first put on Master’s robe.
A feeling of drowsiness flowed through his body, as if he were soaking in a warm hot spring.
I have become a body that cannot live without this robe.
I can’t imagine life without Master’s robe.
With such silly thoughts in mind, I slowly packed my things.
Take out the clothes you want to change into and change into them.
Items that needed to be taken out were put in their proper places.
If you’re staying for a short time, you could just leave it as a carrier.
Since it is a place to stay for a month, it is better to take everything out and organize it.
“Is this enough?”
In about 10 minutes, I finished organizing all the clothes I brought in the closet.
With this, the unloading is all over.
Now all that remains is to decide where to store the ‘Book of Idred’ and ‘Book of Mimir’.
‘Where should I put this?’
This time, unlike Baengnyeong Island, he brought Mimir’s Book and Idred’s Book.
This period of stay in the US is about 1 month.
I couldn’t leave these important books in an empty dorm room for a month.
It was a bit like not being able to read the Book of Mimir or the Book of Idred for a month.
‘ah. There’s a magic safe here.’
A magic vault that works with individual mana patterns.
It is even a magic safe for VVIPs from the Rapel Corporation, which has a reputation for being the most iron-clad among existing safes.
If you put it inside, you can see that there is no worry about it being stolen or lost.
I registered my magic pattern in the magic safe, and put only Idred’s Book.
Then, holding Mimir’s book, he sat down on the bed and unfolded it.
My vision darkened slightly as I felt my body being sucked into the book.
It’s a feeling I’ve gotten used to after experiencing it several times.
“Mimir. I’m here.”
The center of the now quite large library.
As usual, I lay down on the sofa in the center and greeted Mimir, who was reading a book.
“What, are you here soon?”
Mimir turned and looked at me.
“Have you arrived at your inn?”
“uh. I just arrived and I just unpacked my things.”
I moved to Mimir’s side and sat down.
“Did anything special happen on the way?”
“It was a big deal, of course.”
“Now? Even the true heirs are quite a few trouble makers.”
Mimir stood up from his seat with his eyes shining.
“So what happened?”
Then he looked at me as if to tell me.
“hmm. Once I met the British team at the airport… … .”
I explained today’s events in turn to Mimir.
Starting with what happened with Kyle Ventia at the airport,
He told me everything, even trivial things.
“Did you say Kyle Ventia? He’s a real hitter It’s usually difficult to deal with guys who look a bit like they’ve got a screw in their head that way.”
Even though it wasn’t a big deal, Mimir seemed very happy.
The response was so good that the conversation became longer without me realizing it.
“And on the plane, did you talk with Kim Kang-in about the Black Mage Tower?”
And finally, we started talking about the most important black mage tower.
As the conversation continued, Mimir’s expression grew colder.
“… … Well, that’s about it.”
By the time the conversation was over, his expression had changed to a stern expression, as if he had never laughed.
“Those bastards haven’t really changed, have they?”
Mimir took a deep breath.
It was a hot breath heated by quarters.
“Ehh. Really creepy things.”
Mimir sighed again and stood up.
“Where are you going all of a sudden?”
“Where are you going? Go get the book for the heir.”
“A book for me?”
“uh.”
Mimir took a book from the shelf and threw it at me.
I took the flying book as it was and checked the title.
“This… … .”
It was a book about the 4th circle master.
“More to go. receive.”
Then Mimir threw three more books.
All of them were books about the 4th circle master.
After throwing a total of 5 books like that, Mimir came to me with the last one.
“Mimir, this is… … ?”
“You were going to ask for it.”
I handed over the sixth book that Mimir had brought and sat next to me.
“no?”
“That’s right. how did you know?”
“How do you know? Do I look at the heir for a day or two? If you pretend, you pretend.”
Mimir crossed his legs and started acting strangely.
“The British team was smarter than I thought. The probability of fighting the Black Mage Tower also increased. That’s why, in case of an emergency, I need to improve my skills even a little bit.”
It seems like they’re imitating me, but they’re not the same at all.
More than Adela. I don’t think he should be acting.
“So, Mimir. Go get me a book about the 4th circle master. I think I should become a 4th circle master as soon as possible. It was a build-up like this. Just that conversation.”
“… … .”
Aside from the terrible acting skills, the words were the same as what I was trying to say.
It was as if I hadn’t looked into myself.
“Isn’t that correct?”
“… … Do you use any method of interest?”
“Ahem. Jim can see everything.”
Mimir smiled rather solemnly.
“… … I can’t hide anything from you now.”
Read this buildup.
It’s embarrassing.
“Thank you anyway. I will read it.”
“ok. Call me if you need anything else.”
“okay.”
I opened the book that Mimir had thrown at me.
[About the 4th circle master level, harmony.]
