Chapter 53-54 – Incompetent - 4

The way to the front yard of the mansion.

Roylen's mouth was motionless the entire time they walked down her hallway.

"I was genuinely surprised. How much progress has been made in just three years? Eating raw meat in the Mage Tower is something that even professors cannot do. Ah! Including me."

"Three years isn't enough to be included in the word at most, isn't it?"

"The progress of the research is relentless, so in this case, it is only correct. Am I not making a fuss for nothing? How can you be so humble after such great achievements? This is true. It seems to me that it is true that a genius who does not receive the admiration of those around him does not consider himself a genius."

A thorn pricks the conscience. I wanted to tell you that the elf you just talked to took care of my magic circle.

However, with her mouth tightly closed due to an impossible relationship, Roilen continued to speak in a great illusion.

"I am a little surprised. Since the current emperor is advocating radical policies day after day, wasn't the empire's magic science naturally developing in that direction?"

I nodded my head as if I were looking for an answer.

"Because His Majesty the Emperor wants to rid the world of all unclean things."

"It is. Looking at the ancient documents related to this, it is said that there was a time when Manmin and Manma trembled under the Esteban Empire. It seems that the present emperor was greatly impressed by it."

"Do you know His Majesty the Emperor?"

Something you want to say As I glanced up, Roylen smiled in her eyes.

"I don't know that much. As a military adviser, I only saw the Emperor's face a few times before. Just what was the feeling at that time? It felt like he was blindly believing that if he reproduced the glory of the past, the people's disheveled public sentiment would be corrected."

"That sounds odd. Empires do not have to follow in the footsteps of the past. The empire still reigns over the continent as an empire."

"Ah. Of course. That's just what I think. I just expressed my small opinion as a body that loves this country and has sworn allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor."

Roylen shrugged her shoulders as I looked appalled.

"The horse has gone sideways. To put it simply, Viscount Theorard, who announced that he would study artificial rain magic while being isolated in the midst of the current empire's pursuit of killing magic, is amazing."

As Roilen said, if you say you will study killing magic in the current empire, the imperial family will provide more support. When you complete a magic, the reward you receive is doubled compared to other magic.

It is an era in which it is taken for granted to study killing magic in order to build a track record to advance into the system. However, not everyone had to adapt to the trends of the time.

"Not very great."

I was also one of those who couldn't adapt to the times.

It was a kind of chronic disease. When I thought of other people being hurt by my magic, I couldn't help but feel like studying killing magic.

So, after thinking about it, what I thought of was artificial rain magic. It's because I want more people to be happy because of my magic.

When I started researching, I suffered a lot of setbacks because my skills weren't keeping up, but...

"It can't be anything great."

Roylen, as if interpreting my words differently, stroked his chin with a serious face.

"Is it because you have reached a certain level that you have established such a magical schematic to a point where it is close to perfection and then say that it is not great? As an inexperienced me, I can't get a feel for it."

"No. I don't mean that."

"Do you have any intention of working as a professor at the Mage Tower? With Viscount Theorard, the students will be able to learn a lot of knowledge."

Was it because he was excited, or was he really like this?

I let out a sigh because I felt like he wasn't listening to me at all.

"Thank you, but I will politely decline. That's because I'm the head of the Deharm family, and I'm also the vice count who follows His Excellency."

"Okay. I apologize for my presumptuous suggestion."

"You don't even have to apologize."

I laughed bitterly and talked with Roylen before arriving at the front yard.

In the front yard, the imperial palace wizards were waiting in robes embroidered with gold lines, but Roylen called them over and opened the magic paper I had handed over to them.

"It is an artificial rain magic completed by Viscount Theorard. Now that we've confirmed that there are no errors, we'll proceed with the manifestation test on the spot. Everyone, please prepare."

Her. The imperial palace mages looked back at each other as if they were deliberately surprised and muttered, then nodded and returned to their respective positions.

As the imperial palace wizards took their wands out of their pockets and chanted, the artificial rain magic circuits, symbols, and patterns were engraved on the lawn one after another.

Among them, the youngest-looking wizard took out magic stones from the bag he was carrying and placed them one by one in the pattern of the magic circle.

One strange thing is that it could be moved comfortably using the telekinesis-type magic, but it was that he was moving the magic stone by hand while running across the wide lawn.

I wondered about that and looked at Roylen.

"Why are you doing that?"

"Yes? What are you talking about?"

"The magic stone."

"Ah. To prevent the mana permeated in the magic circle from being volatilized into the air during magic expression, the process of holding it through a mana stone..."

"That's it, I know. I asked because I was curious about why that wizard would move the magic stones by hand."

"Aha. That's what I mean."

Roylen scratched her cheek as if she were ashamed to say it and laughed awkwardly.

"Because that friend is new. They usually say that you shouldn't use magic in front of your seniors until you get a rookie ticket."

"It is absurd."

"It is a waste that needs to be eliminated. I've suggested it a few times, but there's no sign of it going away."

Tsk tsk. As Roilen clicked her tongue, the Imperial Palace Wizard, from a distance, raised her hand and shook it. The preparations are over, so let's start the manifestation.

After nodding her head, Roylen takes the wand out of her arms and walks in front of her. She then looked back at me as if she wanted to scream.

"Don't you need an umbrella? By any chance, if the magic succeeds, it will rain."

"If it succeeds, will the umbrella be a problem?"

"But. You are not wrong."

Roylen smiled and joined the imperial palace wizards. After exchanging various stories that I couldn't understand, they put each other's wands in the center of the magic circle and memorized the incantation.

Woo woo woo-

I wondered if there was a bright light at the end of the wand, and the center of the magic circle shined brightly.

The pure white light that shimmered three-dimensionally in the center of the magic circle moved along the circuit as if it had exploded in an instant. The incantation accelerated, and several circuits split into dozens of circuits, stretching like a spider's web.

As if not to miss that time, the symbols decorated on the outside of the magic circle emitted various lights and amplified the firepower of the circuit.

Finally, 17 patterns shine brilliantly, and the energy of mana floating in the sky is condensed into the center.

The imperial palace wizards and Roylen did not miss the moment and raised their wands high toward the sky. A final chant was added, and an explosion suddenly erupted in the quiet world.

Aaaaa!

"Ugh!"

An explosion, accompanied by a gust of wind, soars into the sky in the form of a waterspout.

Black smoke rose with great force and spread like paint in the sky. In an instant, the smoke that covered the clear sky became dark clouds and occupied all directions.

And.

Tuduk-

The thin drop of water touches the palm and flows down.

After success or failure in completing the magic manifestation, the imperial palace mages, Roilen, and I looked up at the sky with mixed feelings.

Then, as if it lived up to expectations, thick raindrops began to pour over the area.

Shoot ah-

The scope was not limited to the surroundings of the mansion. It was raining all over the world, reflected on the retina.

"Ah."

My whole body was getting wet from the rain, but I wasn't uncomfortable at all. Raining world. Because the gloomy landscape was approaching me like a painting.

"Father."

Everyone said it was impossible.

Your magic contains only foolish ideals.

It's magic that can never be completed because the idea was wrong.

Don't waste your time and research other magic.

The members of the imperial family who had come to help me with the research only spoke disparaging words to the young me.

I was depressed because of this, but my father comforted me with a hearty laugh.

─ Even if others doubt you, don't doubt yourself! I believe in my son! That this magic will one day be completed and flatten the noses of the members of the imperial family! So don't give up and keep researching. That's with my father.

After a long time, it has been proven today.

Those foolish ideals can sometimes become reality.

'Father. The ideal that I dreamed of with my father has finally come true.'

Food shortages caused by droughts will no longer exist.

There will be no quarrels caused by the drought.

There will be no fights for water, no wars triggered by water scarcity.

As a result, the world would become a little more beautiful.

This rain will cover the tears flowing from the eyes of the common people.

"Ahahaha!"

A laugh burst out of my mouth as I finished the thought.

I was so happy that I didn't feel the need to protect anything.

I just burst into laughter, as if to look at it with my arms raised up.

My laughter reached the sky, to the extent that my late father could hear it.

"This… It works."

Vaynon rested her hand on the blade of her sword and let out her breath. The raindrops pounding on her armor make her feel odd or foreign, depending on the day.

"Huh, huh. The Lord finally...."

Beside him, David, who had finished cleaning the drawing room, was wiping away tears with a handkerchief.

"Kheung!"

No, now it even steals the runny nose.

To the right of David, an elf holding an umbrella was watching Theorad, but something was a little strange.

'... Did you fight with Grandpa?'

Harvid's left shoulder was drenched in the rain as the elf held the umbrella pulled to the right. Anyone can see that there is a lot of willfulness.

Harvey, who was so moved, didn't seem to notice.

She didn't even bother to tell, so Bainun looked at her elf indifferently.

"Hey. You said you did a good job without causing trouble today? What are your years?"

The elf's ears pricked once at the casual tone. The elf answered without looking back.

"Because eating only bread is boring. So sometimes…."

A strange smile crept across the elf's lips as he looked at Theorad.

"You should also eat fruit."

What do you mean? When she complimented me, she was talking nonsense, so I have nothing to say.

Shrugging her shoulders, Vaynon looked back at Theorard. Seeing how happy she is, a hearty laugh flows out without my knowledge.

I hadn't seen her smile like that since her father died.

Wouldn't it be so happy that the magic was completed?

"Looks good, Bocchan."

No matter what, seeing Theo Rad happy made her feel warm.
