Chapter 187
After about 5 minutes, we arrived at the blue mage tower.
“The Mage Tower lord says that he is still in the workshop. sorry.”
Secretary Sua said as if she was chewing something up and swallowing it.
Maybe he’s chewing and swallowing his anger.
“Please wait a moment. catch it soon… … No, I will bring you.”
You were just trying to say you’d catch me, right?
“yes. You can go slowly.”
“no. I heard that there is a party in the afternoon. We will prepare as soon as possible so that there is no impact on the schedule.”
Secretary Sua bowed her head, turned around, and headed for the central elevator.
Then, use the card hanging around his neck and the mana signal to unlock the security.
I rode the elevator and went upstairs.
Since Kim Kang-in said that he is currently working at a workshop, he must have headed there.
The appearance of Kim Kang-in stir-fried by secretary Jeong Soo-ah is good in my eyes.
“Would you like some tea?”
A lobby clerk approached the three of us as we stood there.
“no. it’s okay. I think you’ll be back soon.”
“… … haha. yes.”
The staff laughed bitterly.
It seems that this staff member, like me, thought of the blue Mage Tower who will be brought to the secretary Su-ah.
“Ah, then at least sit over here and wait.”
“yes. I will.”
We moved to the guest seats pointed out by the staff and sat down.
“Whoa. I’m nervous. Isn’t this a place where no one can enter?”
“If you want to come in here, you can come in. It’s the lobby.”
“Oh, is that so?”
In almost all towers, including the blue one, security is not at the entrance, but at the elevator.
The lobby can be entered at any time as long as you want to enter.
Well, if there’s no other reason, I’ll have to get kicked out soon.
“Whoa. Whatever it is, I am very nervous.”
“What are you so nervous about? I think I’m just meeting my close neighborhood brother.”
“… … I can think of it that way.”
Sunchan smiled and stood up from his seat.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while.”
“Draw. go and come.”
I answered with a moderate glance in the direction of the bathroom.
As if he noticed my signal, Soonchan replied with a small ‘thank you’ and moved on.
“Ugh. that jerk I don’t know how I lasted between my father and the blue mage tower lord.”
The day before, in order to be acknowledged by Kim Kang-in, I met a 5th Circle mage belonging to the Blue Mage Tower.
I heard that Soon-chan watched the match between his father and Kim Kang-in.
How did you survive then?
Even now, it’s this tidy, but at that time, didn’t I really faint with my eyes open?
“Even then, I was breaking out in a cold sweat.”
“Oh yeah? Jin-seong looked like a coward.”
“yes. I think you are a bit timid. It’s not a big deal since he doesn’t do that at all in battle.”
“That’s not fortunate.”
There was not even a hint of timidity to be found in battle.
that’s pure
‘No, if you think about it, is Sunchan’s reaction universal?’
It is almost every mage’s dream to enter the Mage Tower of Color.
Wouldn’t Soon-chan’s reaction be a universal reaction?
Maybe I or Adela are strange.
I thought so.
hmm. It might seem right.
I don’t know.
“Ah, more than that, Adela. That’s what I said earlier.”
As I was thinking about that, I suddenly remembered what I had shared with Adela earlier via text message.
“What I said earlier… … . About the magic you used at lunch yesterday?”
“uh.”
I glanced at the lobby staff.
He doesn’t seem interested in this conversation at all.
Even if it’s not that, it’s a little far away.
You won’t hear it unless you say it out loud.
“that. How did you notice?”
“How?”
Adela tilted her head with an incomprehensible expression.
I just said that I felt it because I felt it, but how did you feel it?
I don’t know what to answer.
It was the look on his face that made him think.
As an analogy, Janggeum has the same expression when asked why Hongsi tastes like Hongsi.
I could tell from that expression.
Adela just felt natural.
Regardless of whether the shadow of the shadow is special or not, you can just feel it casually.
‘how?’
shadow of shadow.
The shadow of Umbra, as Mimir calls it, is a power specialized in hiding power.
You can tell just by looking at the barriers in the Obelisk Academy dormitory how great her stealth is.
The obelisk academy’s barrier, which is famous for detecting any kind of magic 100%, is a secret magic that is not noticed at all.
That is the shadow of Umbra.
How did Adela detect such a secret magic?
‘Is it because of God’s grace?’
Could it be that God’s grace raised Adela’s senses to the point of transcending common sense?
Among the hypotheses that could be established, it was the most credible one.
‘It’s not something impossible if it’s by God’s grace.’
The supreme elixir that raises one’s talent as a wizard to the limit.
As much as Adelaini absorbed 100% of such an elixir, it wouldn’t be that impossible to detect Umbra’s shadow.
“… … There must be something to that magic.”
Adela’s eyes sharpened.
Seeing my serious expression, he seems to have sensed something.
“Is something wrong? I definitely thought I could sense something not like you, but… … .”
“Did you feel that way?”
“yes. Should I say that I can’t smell your scent… … . Oddly heterogeneous… I got that feeling.”
“… … .”
I mean, I felt that way.
“So I was going to go and see if there was something wrong… … .”
“Just then, the magic disappeared.”
“yes. So I just thought that he was trying out some new magic.”
A frown flowed from Adela’s eyes.
“Looking at the reaction, there must be something to that magic.”
It looked like a detective who found evidence.
“That dark magic… … . No, should I say shadow magic?”
Even the subtle sense of shadow was completely captured.
Apparently, Adela’s senses are much better than I thought.
“What’s wrong with that magic?”
“… … .”
Adela looks straight into my eyes. eyes of truth.
It was the shining eyes that I could feel the trust toward me.
With those eyes in front of me, I didn’t want to lie.
“sorry. Adela, I can’t even tell you about this.”
Therefore, I just replied that it was a question that could not be answered honestly.
“… … okay. Then I won’t ask any more.”
Adela gave a small smile with a somewhat regretful expression.
“sorry. You must be curious.”
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care, but… … . are you okay. Everyone has a secret that cannot be told.”
I’m curious, but I don’t have the hobby of prying into other people’s secrets.
He was making a face to say that.
“then… … Can we keep this a secret?”
“uh. Please.”
Adela gave a small smile.
“yes. I will keep it only in my heart.”
Looking at such Adela, I thought to myself.
‘I have really good friends.’
I said.
* * *
After that.
The tea party lasted about two hours.
“Then we will go first.”
“yes. both of you Thank you for your time.”
Why not three, but two. Because it’s just me and Adela leaving the blue mage tower.
“Sunchan-kun will take you to the party in no time, so don’t worry too much.”
Sunchan stayed here a little longer.
“no. You don’t have to send it at all.”
“haha. can you do that You made an appointment in advance. I have to send it.”
“No no. It’s really okay. Maybe everyone will understand.”
I smiled as I looked at Soon-chan, who was standing blankly next to the blue mage lord with a dazed expression.
“Nothing else. I signed a sponsor contract with the blue mage tower. What can anyone say?”
Soonchan signed a sponsorship contract with the Blue Magic Tower today.
The condition of the contract is to belong to the Blue Mage Tower after graduation.
In exchange for that, Sunchan was able to receive backup from the Blue Mage Tower until he graduated.
“… … Am I a wizard belonging to the blue mage tower? Is it a dream?”
An intermittent laugh.
blurry eyes.
Autism is a level of self-talk that should be suspected.
Anyone who sees you will think you’re a psychopath.
“hey. Wake. If you only see that kind of appearance, the blue mage tower lord might tear up the contract.”
“Hut. that, that doesn’t work hmm. don’t be I need to calm down.”
Sunchan widened his eyes and patted his cheek with both hands.
Damn! The sound rang out excitedly.
… … Are you really sick?
“Chew. dog hurts… … .”
“Hey you idiot.”
Soon-chan grabs her red-hot cheek and swears.
Looking at Sunchan like that, I shook my head.
“He’s such an idiot… … Are you really okay?”
“haha. of course. I really like the innocent look.”
The blue mage lord put his hand on Sunchan’s shoulder and smiled.
“I hope to go along well.”
Soonchan shook his shoulders.
“No, since we’re a family now, I’ll speak comfortably. Please take good care of me. Soon-chan.”
A body hardened in an instant.
“yes! I wish you well!”
It was like a private soldier in full military discipline.
I laughed without even realizing it. Would it be that good?
“Then we will really go.”
“yes. See you again.”
The blue mage tower lord waved a small hand.
“Sunchan. See you later. good deal Well, I don’t think the blue mage lord would put in a poison clause, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“haha. Do you usually say that while the person in question is listening?”
“Is there anything you can’t do?”
“ha ha ha! That too!”
Kim Kang-in smiled as if the world was in a good mood.
“good bye.”
“yes. Goodbye Miss Adela. See you again.”
“yes.”
I finished saying hello to Adela like that.
We left the blue mage tower as it was.
* * *
About 20 minutes passed.
Adela and I arrived at the party first.
The seniors and instructors haven’t arrived yet.
In the first place, Adela and I had arrived an hour early for a preliminary inspection, so it was only natural that no one else was present.
“… … Is it very wide?”
“I was thinking of renting a smaller dell. just made it here If I’m going to have a party, I want to do it in the best place.”
Incredibly spacious and luxurious party hall.
The waiters and waitresses are eager to set the dishes.
Is it really worth the high price?
It was great to see everyone so engrossed in their work.
“Ah, please set the alcohol over there.”
“yes. All right.”
This time, the alcohol was set aside to prevent the same thing from happening the last time. If you want to drink it like this, you should be able to drink it, but it will work for self-purification.
“Do you have any further instructions?”
After setting the drinks, the waiter approached me and asked with a grin.
It was a neat smile and action that conveyed professionalism as it is.
“There is nothing else. It’s perfect.”
“Perfect. It is too much praise.”
Not empty words, really nothing to say.
This party hall is already perfect.
I have nothing to say to the extent that I wonder if it was necessary to come an hour earlier.
“Then I will go back to my position. If you have anything else to do, call me.”
“yes. take care.”
The waiter bowed his head and disappeared.
“Since it’s crazy, let’s go out until the other seniors come.”
We have to be there so the people who work only notice more.
Considering the efficiency of the work, it is better for us to leave the seat.
“yes.”
Adela and I left the party and headed out of the building.
‘ah.’
and that moment.
I met an unexpected person.
‘… … Commander Charles?’
It hides itself, but it is clearly visible to my eyes.
The wild momentum of that wild beast.
It is certainly.
It’s Captain Charles.
‘What are you doing without contact?’
Not even a dorm. If you see that you came to a party like this, there must be something important going on.
‘No matter what, we need to arrange a place for the two of us to talk.’
I turned my gaze to Adela.
“Adela. I’m sorry. me for a while… … .”
There is a place to go and come alone.
It was time to say that.
“… … Shh. He is an assassin.”
Dozens of gray light bullets floated around Adela.
A gray light bullet that shines with a strong will to tear the enemy in front of its eyes.
“Make your appearance. I know you are there.”
At the center of the gray light source, Adela’s eyes shone sharply.
The spirit of Captain Charles, visible only to my eyes, fluctuated wildly with bewilderment and bewilderment.
