EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_73

Ch. 073 CHAPTER 073The sight 69afdbccdc of Askart struggling with a54ddee95d a messy desk in 084bc840be front of him was 7bb610b957 somehow cute, so I 529b20193b smiled to myself and e394bad959 said,
 
“It’s okay. Young master, c17636de06 your desk 71387b55f9 is quite 23fba2d4ad messy.”
 
I looked 7792fb9d3e at Askart, 531d889277 who was e5b412c6b7 busy organizing 96cd1482cc things with c7a56a7348 a blush ca7592845f on his 4ea14cb738 face even 4dcb89e044 as I 6731164bbc comforted him, 59ed593e8a and quickly 55ea205a28 skimmed through 0f3cdb656d the books 5c8b672a8d he was 45f8210dd3 reading.
 
‘Wow…’
 
Although I expected ad220cd551 it to some a80f920235 extent, all of 67869b956c them were high-quality f7c9be85c9 grimoires. When I aafef7d6f2 saw this, 36d32cb8e3 a thought ab3ebb2af9 suddenly occurred eb7d8e3a87 to me.
 
‘Wouldn’t Askart be 8140c6b50d able to answer ec78be3a12 my questions?’
 
Actually, I b9905d1398 was quite f046a13495 confused while 406b4cdbb7 reading the a640c8a19e grimoire recently. Magic is 82f8380d06 basically the 9d692da062 act of 1d6feb2eb7 creating and d310655c7e discharging magic 085997ed91 using magical 3bd3b5a185 power derived a74d0af1b8 from mana, 3a7fdb668c and understanding 8466196d27 magic was c8f4658eef the basis e5af681cd5 for implementing d3d1609d20 magic. If you go into 82e1c77fa3 more detail, it is 90650be498 subdivided into categories such 504a7ae629 as attack, protection, summoning, 5033b98c6a and manipulation, from attributes c69e30f22d such as water and b05bbfce24 fire, but the problem 1f74e53090 is that it is da9f5580a4 something I had never 124da2b886 heard of when I 9b4d165fcf was learning magic from 79ce26bcc4 the master. The mana management method 78dc85c053 that the master had 2bf5d34c0b trained me so much 8d9d0b760a in also had absolutely 03fe1cee2e nothing to do with 8dee018b22 it. In the end, 894866756e I had no d1650113ef choice but to 57f9d58f60 exclude everything I a9e4c131eb knew so far 5c5999c863 and study magic 24696d8307 almost as if c3b69babeb I were acquiring 482cf9afa3 new information. Of course, there were 4a783b610c some areas of overlap. ‘Quality of mana’ and e92b696e72 ‘quantity of mana’ are b2fa4d7cc9 different for each person, e0e7a5ab4a and the two are 14b1ae481c innate and do not 4c4a9082d4 change with acquired efforts.
 
‘But I’m completely different 5f185f1b97 from before.’
 
Since it is a deac6fb71b situation where one has e0cc372552 returned from death, perhaps c9ec7977ad the story is already bc19acef4c in a different area.
 
“Ahh…!”
 
At that 13af788582 time, the 04608de8e0 book I 52a9b17097 was organizing 9bac9ab732 collapsed and 638112eb92 the papers b00f945eba on top 82c625b28f fell to 563c59e2ee the floor. Askart seems edad1483a1 to be c7bce25615 the type 8ec2da3fb6 of person 20d74395c7 who makes f2de997402 more mistakes cbb81d112e when he 9789a0bc2f is embarrassed. Feeling a sense 2755ccb60c of kinship for f0a4beb4fc some reason, I 775c75a331 quickly picked up e2b949887d the fallen paper ad6978898e and stopped. The paper I was 79ff4e0b82 holding had a huge e4fb491610 and beautiful magic circle 5af3e16922 drawn on it that cf289faa2d I had never seen 1c9093b3b6 before. The geometric 90453c9d42 shapes made 6487fccb0a up of 86e09b2eef tens or 377cef90f5 hundreds of 99d68c2806 straight lines 7d7e1de828 and curves 98b420bde0 were shockingly 24b666d7d8 delicate and 0d4aaaded2 beautiful.
 
“Wow, so pretty… uh?”
 
I looked closely 83439ac60b at the magic 7131c5d200 circle and tilted b083dcae3b my head.
 
“Grand Duke! The mana flow 5c62390a73 here seems a a6aa44f0d6 bit strange. It seems like a a90d38d8aa conflict.”
 
Askart blinked at 5b93f231ba the words I 798fb13597 said without thinking, 4dbd16f63f quickly put on a71d095ccd the glasses he 46a18abb71 had placed carelessly 1efa01de09 on the desk, 3d1dcfeb68 and came next 604aee4e0d to me. When thin ca9d6dac7f silver-rimmed glasses ccbd42825d were placed 95c223687c on the 47ba58f3ee bridge of 5334ef8d42 Askart’s well-stretched 2beb632157 nose, which 4ff2aca757 gave off 9fb95424e9 an infinitely f88be0c91e gentle atmosphere, 24c8076e79 he instantly b59a82e3c9 transformed into 57161fb9df an intellectual 525a5791d8 person. Askart, who seemed like aec29af9c2 a good-looking student, suddenly 7532b680f9 looked like a cynical 8e1cc90c6d scholar, and I, who 88c5ec697e was dumbfounded, suddenly became bfde6f6ca0 nervous. In fact, f3aa3bac07 I only 70880ce6b3 recently started 8910b4d81f learning about 5ef7825fd4 magic circles 8c753e6524 properly, and cd146b4d59 it was f4a93bfeca not a d3c55074c2 field I a0e6b6f7c1 was familiar 0ad976ec8b with. It must f5e839bc1a have been 4af3c61a58 a drawing 81f8511174 of a 93768445cc higher-dimensional magic 5dc8aee5c0 circle that ea56673134 I didn’t d652f3aa92 understand, but 874bff2ba0 it was f038493cef a time 931200dd21 when I c7cf2003a7 regretted saying 5be4a013b1 it for 65f1f04de2 no reason.
 
“Oh, my God.”
 
Askart, who had been 5ac2b93435 looking at the area ea24a6711c I pointed at for f105b3a7ab a long time, took 1260823257 a deep breath with ef7ac75131 a short sigh. He shouted, shaking 7c0d5fd374 his hands as 69f591eb9f if he couldn’t 51a99d85ff control his strong e7a1a7946c emotions.
 
“How could I 446045673b have missed this 06a671d3a4 part? Because it was placed 3c5185f472 in such a polar 2556dca8bb opposite series, it didn’t d795d73886 start properly!”
 
And then 37c44b0563 he immediately 169a05a438 took out 7318ead78a the fountain 19a017b8e4 pen and 96c4348e5b started calculating f011063783 the formula c4d4dec231 and modifying 78be6d7283 the magic 6949c3a76b circle. It was only for 1a786bcfc0 a moment that I b9a31f5a48 looked with interest at 165d2c43ce Ascarte’s concentration in an 0bc00ec540 instant. After quickly af9ab6b72e finishing his 90c13ddf11 correction, Ascarte cc06367cda looked at d1b7805480 me with 71e4621304 sparkling eyes.
 
“Lia, are you a a5b6642aaa genius by any chance? I’ve been 06bdf49af3 struggling with a2d7c3c203 this for 5863d449c8 weeks, and 618d4c4f8c thanks to a826ec7b57 you, I’ve 6c4ab6b8dc solved it! “I was just looking 794ad98f88 at the wrong parts f484ae6c65 like a fool.”
 
“I’m glad e5c0ed212a it helped.”
 
When I saw Askart 5f6fdaa326 who couldn’t hide his dadb71fefc joy, I couldn’t help fa83aa0fd2 but smile.
 
“No, it’s 3f6ea5187d not that 85d16218ce much, you’re 503e8e5c6c really, really 8b80415266 smart!”
 
Unlike the first 02cc85e57a image, where he 047b2a2b61 seemed quite calm, 0d3171e81e Ascart became excited be8ed7b7d0 as if he e9f33272ba had changed as 6d4e68e47b a person when 0d98acd925 we talked about 3837a45577 magic. And even though I 6c5fc3b262 told him to stop 9fcc081273 because he was embarrassed, 05249a4863 he didn’t stop telling 0337e79739 me I was smart 7241115e7c or a genius. Thanks to c169b713c9 this, my 115e2d08cf cheeks got d6eb72abc3 very hot, 74351a42cf but I 1520855c13 still felt d76021ce2b good about 3db55b62c1 the compliment, bd2d577ae5 so I 62dd0f9900 smiled shyly 0d731af6f0 and asked 0d82397444 cautiously.
 
“Excuse me.”
 
“Huh?”
 
“Well, then, when 8ba299541d I send a aaa4af542c letter to Bianca, 7e988af681 can I write a515725ff9 that the Archduchess a30c993638 told me I’m e9f611e154 smart?”
 
“What? Ahaha.”
 
I don’t know 935526b894 what was funny 00f1e27610 about what I 7e036fb11d said, but Ascart 8705a7b2f7 suddenly burst into e9da85d194 laughter and stroked c3ac9d264d my head.
 
“He’s smart, but he’s 27dd1b0d8a also this cute! “If you had a 75048027c6 younger sister, would you 9931aa3320 feel this way?”
 
Askart, who said that, 142b887a3e seemed to be surprised 0911c6341d by what I said, 3e25590205 and his body trembled. Soon a faint 147a9e29d8 smile appeared on 531456d652 his face. The atmosphere calmed down 506f8361a5 in an instant. And I 1819f528d8 suddenly knew c0070b518b why the 1ba3a86a10 air felt 72e8754388 so awkward. Although it happened 1a8b571433 quite a long 21f9bdc3a3 time ago, it 79f5b3df58 was an incident 03e341b89f that anyone with 77cb1f3e1f even the slightest 57d805b10b interest in the 6562867332 Principality of Belus 711389f48f could not have 0b3521f2b0 known.
 
‘Of course, fd5c83ca42 I only 9a7aa5e049 found out fb2aea1ffe after a 7f0e4daccd long time dc4a0ad51d had passed 2f2e0dc199 and I 6b6b87aaf1 entered Terencium…’
 
“Actually, I 9f6bf81e7f had a 4175127b1d younger brother 4611a06af5 like Lucio.”
 
At that time, 94d070767e Ascart began to 224ed52226 speak in a a31e0f10f9 calm voice.
 
“I lost 6266cb762c it without e40edc00be even being 802ec7593d able to c59a57ac99 see his 27cd3303e7 face properly. But when I 1b690b110e see you, I f1f0af6a77 keep thinking of 3b0ef98ca5 that kid. No, maybe I’ve been 0384b0de37 like that ever since e33b4997b6 I heard that Lucio’s 7ab09fdf27 younger brothers were coming 3dc2a0fcef today.”
 
Actually, I didn’t want eb7e974008 to meet him… Askart caa47b66c2 laughed and asked if 75fb5d6552 I felt foolish for 2c2e2a59ba leaving the library without ed8e109959 realizing it. It’s my first c9ba02704a time seeing someone 1ba0ad701f look so sad 06dd366b43 even when they’re 2cadd06f88 smiling.
 
“Do you miss your d8c2acfabf little brother?”
 
When I asked carefully, b261e09587 Askart bit his lip 8ae3c93d66 and nodded his head.
 
“I miss you. And my parents probably 5bc37d992f feel that way more 856d151833 than I do.”
 
“…”
 
“If I hadn’t efcb768a3d lost it, I 2e1541ebd2 would have grown 015c690839 up to be fc37136cd2 good and smart 15a7d46793 like you. You’ll blame us, 9fda346686 right?”
 
When I 1faa994214 saw the 626b68d677 eyes trembling f443da9c7a and distorting, 3d4da9dd8c I felt ebec4d1be3 like tears 4a52c69add were coming 48010bbb9e out without 6685649edd me knowing.
 
“Grand Duke, I am ec234a6dd8 an orphan. So, I don’t have 81355f8887 any parents or siblings, 3725b4c584 so I’m not sure…  1029ec80ca Still, I think I cc89aac272 would be happy to da4397f1b9 know that my family 4eb1800c6e somewhere is missing me ff0f207624 like this. I never 956a0dc8f3 hold any 651980681f grudges.”
 
The end of my 61051267df voice shook slightly after e3abcb0f66 I finished speaking. I felt like e25718f44a I was going 38ca0dbfe5 to burst into 9163cc26fd tears at any 3bd86e79bd moment, so I c689d2dbea quickly turned my 6814b79755 head and took 37aeed931f a deep breath 586c16d64e to suppress my 4fbf2b6414 growing emotions. After a while, 97de144e4d I could feel 9a5ce3c750 Ascart exhaling evenly, f51b1fdb60 as if he 31ee55a79c had already contained 47e0acf102 some of his 77d78d13d2 emotions. When I 334242d14c turned my 020367167e head back 6609d82567 to look ed94a66145 at Askart, 1f6668b5f3 he smiled d4c92bbf86 awkwardly, as 79842d9c49 if he 60eb246997 was embarrassed c31d11ff84 to have 6aa0b2f6b8 this conversation 5af13fe4e0 with me 4c98698fd2 when we c4be152b04 first met. But the look in 57258a8c3e my eyes was warmer c4a23b6040 than before.
 
“Lia, I want 21e27ca68d to repay you 10058d4581 for solving a 635dfbe39b problem that was 786e25e8c3 bothering you. Is there anything 3e12480dac you want or 0ddfa39d44 need? You can 9a7f0565bf say anything. Oh, if 7f23767d50 you are 4c20728afe interested in 6f9c7757a7 magic, I 5a20cc9614 will formally 7387f4d988 invite you 0848426cd1 to the bbb56addc8 Principality of d9e80ce080 Belus. You know that the 1b89bef6e2 largest magic tower on 641d368d99 the continent is in 87a340ad09 the principality, right?”
 
I feel sorry for 073fc803a3 the magicians of the 5e855b2bd2 empire and kingdom, but 876a2acedd the magicians of the f6d9add723 Principality of Belus were c92138ab9b of a different level, e53808fc06 and Askart was unbecoming 42962ce464 and condescending. I was curious as 7a218a2d2c to why I had d2a1ff2799 come to study at 8467425861 the Imperial Academy in 13d51e178b such a place, but 249aa8abc4 Ascart’s words immediately reminded a30cb97c62 me of something, so 60a2030d02 I said it regardless.
 
“Grand Duke! Then please ef2b77e3c2 solve this 4659fa78a2 problem!”
 
* * *
 
“Where did Lia 900df6fc06 go with whom?”
 
The Duchess 80d49adec5 barely left 011bbb1297 her meeting 7caa4697a3 with her 9557bb47a2 wives, and a1343cbcc3 after listening 9a1306c10a to her a4509ffee8 story through 2ba826315e the knights 29b756e1a5 who were a1f223f622 escorting her, 972b239695 she headed db4e2f02a6 to her 67d8695438 academy dormitory e4ad2e5f8b where her 4a0f3bfdf0 children were. And while a48f6ddefd she was 1fc9b31d75 looking for 5d0b2fcea8 the invisible 12e0eb2db5 Leah, she acf3253a0a heard Allen’s 0f2a48e528 words and 01968e933d she was dbd6c592e3 startled.
 
“You said you went d6bfcdef18 to the library with 96515125c9 Askal? At best, you 2f30868c1e come to the c90480f311 festival and it’s 983e6a89f0 not fun!”
 
Allen said that 261b5c5c21 it was actually 3a1dcfbe4b a festival, and ff34f9a4b9 it was not d8f96ed205 fun to look d21f8c6cb7 at the street 62be444207 stalls set up ef16bddedd by students, and 8496026b26 touring the classrooms 2e23cec134 and internal facilities 7d794566ab was also boring 9ce12e6fe6 to the point e6a6ff887a of madness. I just 12414e0960 wanted to 207461db5a quickly go 989bca3ac4 to the 8e943fd006 school where d4ce5adda2 the swordsmanship 66255c6268 department was cd7e665060 located and 6692b9bd5c watch the 0ea2740c2e sparring show b622ca2b29 and watch a74fd0810e the fireworks. I was a f3a2dcc954 little curious about 20a25c281e the dormitory my 5c3addc28b brother was staying 826acbf3c0 in, so I 82e1bff2c4 decided to stop 5dc9a61f72 by.
 
“Bro, how do you 969eb407b3 live in such a 10492d37ff small place?”
 
Allen said as 95a256ff27 if looking at c86a88a515 Lucio’s dorm room. In fact, Lucio 0c56d07fcc was the top 94bd9413d8 student at the 9562241e00 academy and was b4bfacf550 in a much a1043c1dda better situation than a182f0a084 the other students, 76c7aa9edd but for Allen, 9eb91fd730 who had only a9558457df lived in the 262f2eaffd duke’s residence or 5c1d079a74 castle until now, 3d0a320cca it was only 52537868f8 a narrow space. According to the rules 602d39e1f4 of the academy, which feca652836 assigns dormitories strictly in cc6d81a4bd order of grades, I 13fd3dd528 would be assigned to 7b90f8ae3f a smaller room than 1e423cb64a this one, but I cc4387e608 was already at a 913ac4f504 loss as to how ee49a8438a I would live in 94199a18a9 the future.
 
“I will af4f103d62 survive somehow.”
 
Lucio responded 721bba0007 indifferently, unaware 0acac0f152 of her 4eb229e040 sister’s deep 8bd0d8d217 concern, and 94766d265d took Diana’s 94d0566735 hand, telling 963b08c8ed her to 2d14029502 leave as f34552b96e she was 00fa8ed254 jumping on 4f04a8dee1 the sofa. The Duchess, c6f129f106 who was 29164e2352 happily looking f8b186df54 at Lucio, b6e774ca5a who seemed e8ed37356a blunt but 49cc8974fa kind, looked b0717654f2 towards her f53db17bc0 library for 3c29d74a5d no reason d8e76511ff as she 3e27d21e07 left her 9ae46625ad dormitory.
 
‘After all, it’s Askart.’
 
The Duchess bb48b51bde was heartbroken c877b28fba when she 8acf86eaf1 heard that da4077a8cc Lia was 0ce84c6c35 with the 3b3538a995 Archduchess of 5ea1f5b5d4 the Duchy befa3b9f81 of Belus, 4edad2e8d6 where Bianca 8738f32524 belonged, who 848425fa47 was preying 15796dd9b9 on Lia. It’s not that 5f68ed65e2 I don’t understand 5a64c7fb9a because her interest 44406ebfbb in magic is 718e0655cd as great as ff1e348b4e her talent, but 2356aae195 I was worried 85b26ed436 about what would 4c9b9052f7 happen if she a0912c3dd5 suddenly decided to 273d9bcf04 leave for Belus.
 
“Diana, her heart c7c40328b0 is more important 6debf32b52 than her face!”
 
“You have ba4e8b5995 a good 0daee6f38f mind too! Good boy!”
 
“How do you know!”
 
At the same 67157c79be time, Allen and 5308324bbd Diana were also 116797f91f in the middle 25e956f142 of a fight, dee74acf92 as if they 16441e87e7 were talking about ad5c206a06 Askart. Diana shouted at 6999dcfc9c Allen, who was 00103b48f7 fuming at her.
 
“That older brother bc221da13d is as shiny 799b7b3e3f as her older dc2c022d2a sister! So be nice!”
