Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 318

Alliance of Races (3)

We were heading towards the base where the elves had arrived.

Sirius said while walking.

“This is not an old fairy tale.”

Just 10 years ago in this world.

He added that this was something that happened to people living in the present.

In this world, magic and sorcery exist, and all kinds of races live in conflict. Technology has just begun to develop, and when I heard about its level, I heard it was at a medieval level.

“Although there were frequent conflicts between races, it was a world that was good to live in.”

There was the worrying factor of monsters, but they weren’t that big of a threat.

It’s not that the people were strong, but the level of the monsters was generally weak.

Thanks to this, no one considered the monsters a threat.

The biggest threat was not the beast-like monsters, but the neighboring country that bordered the country.

That was the root of the problem.

People who perceived monsters as ‘dangerous creatures that can be caught if you invest manpower and money’ were late in recognizing the changes in monsters.

“But then one day, the monsters started appearing more frequently.”

Demons began to invade homes and cities where people lived.

After killing all the monsters in the city, I was finally able to look outside and see people.

The fact that the monsters have formed an army.

“But then there was a chance to turn everything around.”

But at the time, there was a way to solve it.

“But our narrow-minded insensitivity to safety ended up making the situation worse.”

The problem is that I don’t use that method.

“People showed the worst possible response they could, such as reducing troops to save money and responding with a half-hearted attitude out of concern for diplomacy. The result was the destruction of the empire.”

“empire?”

“Ah…… I guess a noble person wouldn’t know. Although the Empire was a relatively new nation, it was a country that grew rapidly based on its powerful resources and talents.”

Expression in the past tense.

Seungwoo could guess the inside story.

“They destroyed the country they had raised with their own hands, not with foreign powers.”

“……Yes, you are indeed different. You didn’t even know the Empire existed, but you caught on to it right away.”

Really. If there had been even one person like you in the old empire, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.

Sirius spoke with a tone of lament, spewing out sharp criticism towards the world.

Among them, there were words I didn’t know.

It seemed to be a unique language for elves, but it was a very strong curse, so much so that his men were startled by Sirius’ words and tried to cover his mouth.

It might be an insult to the king.

Or maybe it’s just some cheap swearing.

Anyway, Sirius, who had been swearing, suddenly showed a reaction of incomprehension at the actions of his unit members covering his mouth.

“……ah!”

I was startled when I saw Seungwoo.

It’s really exactly the same as what the author, the captain, does to his subordinates.

It seems like he cursed unconsciously. Cursing is fine, but it’s a shame for someone who’s supposed to lead others to behave like that.

Seungwoo looked at Sirius with cold eyes.

‘No matter how you look at him, he doesn’t look like a captain.’

It’s not that he doesn’t have the weight to carry out the role of the captain.

Of course, Seungwoo himself had often seen captains with somewhat frivolous attitudes, but at least when they did something, they did it properly.

Their frivolity served to lighten the mood within the unit, creating an environment in which natural camaraderie could develop among the unit members.

What about Sirius, on the other hand?

“I’m sorry! I made a mistake…!”

“Since you didn’t understand anyway, just continue what you were saying.”

“Oh, uh, yes! I understand!”

Sirius bowed his head to Seungwoo and said.

Seungwoo waved his hand as if it was nothing.

The elves looked surprised at the sight.

Judging from his expression, I felt like he couldn’t forgive me so easily. It seemed like he had cursed quite a bit.

“So that’s why I even talked about the fall of the empire?”

“okay.”

“In any case, the empire that was the only human country was caught up in its own arrogance and ended up perishing. When the empire that boasted the largest borders perished, sparks fell on the feet of other countries.”

“If the empire’s borders are wide, does that mean the area it defends is wide?”

A large land is a valuable resource for a country.

The wider the area that comes into contact with other countries or dangerous factors, the greater the risk it takes on. It seems that the empire was no different.

Sirius nodded at this.

He walked forward with a slow thump, then lowered his head.

“With the fall of the empire, many countries were attacked. Some of those countries were prepared in advance, while others were not.”

“So, what’s the ending?”

“……All the countries that built their structures with steel and piled stones have disappeared.”

It’s gone.

There is a better expression for it, destruction, but Sirius insisted on using the expression disappeared. I looked down at Sirius through the narrow hole between his masks, curious about his expression.

‘I can’t see your face.’

Sirius deliberately covered his face.

Seungwoo, whose curiosity was piqued, looked at the elves following behind.

Their expressions weren’t very good.

Rather than being gloomy or sad… …yeah.

‘That’s exactly the kind of expression a leopard has when it’s watching the situation.’

A watchful cat.

To put it nicely, they were elves who looked like office workers trying to gauge the mood of their boss at work.

“All the nations made of stone and iron have perished. So, do you think there are any nations left?”

“A nation not made of stone and iron? From a human perspective, I can only say that it is impossible.”

“A human perspective? Hahaha! For a nobleman who looks like a fox to say something like that. You’re quite good at joking.”

Hahahaha!

Sirius raised his head, laughing loudly.

He seemed genuinely funny.

After all, who would see Seungwoo now and think he’s human?

If you take off the mask and check the temperament between a human and a beast, you might not know, but if you put on the fox mask and clearly reveal the characteristics of a fox, Seungwoo is clearly a beast of a fox.

“I said that because I didn’t like the atmosphere. By the way, what’s the point of your question?”

I didn’t necessarily confirm or deny it.

Seungwoo just asked the gist of the question.

He wants to get information now.

I had no intention of worrying about meaningless riddles.

“Oh, the answer to the question is nothing special. There is only one correct answer. It means that there is a country that survived.”

“How about now?”

“It was half destroyed! It’s already been more than ten years since the great invasion of monsters.”

A race that built their nation on the foundation of the civilization of the Iron Age.

Unlike them, elves are the only race in the world that can build a nation solely with nature, without having to process stone or iron.

“The elven nation resisted until the very end. But in the end, they were defeated.”

The elves seem to be reminiscing about the moment of destruction.

Everyone opened their mouths and looked into the distance.

“The mother tree is dyed.”

“The king is finally dead.”

“The spirits are corrupted.”

“The land of the elves is the last remaining country on this land. The destruction of such a country means that all living creatures on this land have lost their country.”

“A fight between races? Countless races lost their greatest sense of belonging and their homeland, which was their nation, leaving them with nothing.”

“So we created a union. A union of races where, without a nation, differences and discrimination between races are meaningless.”

They took turns completing the sentences.

Seungwoo figured out who those words were directed at.

Those words weren’t something I made up on the spot to say to Seungwoo.

It was meant to be educational. It was like a kind of song for adults, children, and growing youth.

A song that explains to the youth why their country was destroyed and they had to live together with other races.

Thanks to this, I now have a general idea of ​​the world.

‘I know everything, but.’

There was just one part I didn’t understand.

It’s not that he can’t analyze the meaning because he doesn’t know it, but Seungwoo was caught off guard by the word he heard for the first time.

“That… I ask again, what on earth is that spirit?”

“……?”

“……yes?”

“……sincerity?”

I asked this question a little while ago, but I didn’t get a clear answer then.

In the end, Seungwoo asked the question again.

The expressions on the elves’ faces when they were asked that question were all mysterious.

Finally, one of the little elves opened his mouth.

“Spirits, spirit magic, the four great spirits? You really don’t know anything about them?”

“I thought it was a joke so I just let it go, but do you really not know?”

“Wow, this is the first time in my life I’ve seen someone who doesn’t know spirits.”

“so do i.”

“Everyone here will be seeing this for the first time.”

Seungwoo listened to the elves’ conversation.

Is it really that obvious that there are spirits?

‘Do you know about spirits?’

─Spirit? Are you talking about the spirit of a dead person or a divine energy?

‘Okay. I guess you don’t know either.’

Tamamodo doesn’t even know.

What we can learn from this is that there are no spirits in the world Seungwoo was born in and the world he currently resides in.

On the other hand, in this world, it seems strange not to know.

It is incomprehensible that the legendary hermit gein may not know the largest empire on the continent, but he does not know the spirits.

It was a very obvious, common sense observation.

‘I guess this is another world after all.’

Even though words can communicate.

There were parts that did not conflict with basic common sense.

“If it’s a spirit… Ah, how do I explain this? Hey, can you guys explain it? I just can’t bring myself to do it.”

“Why are you leaving it up to us, Captain?”

“That’s right. Just a moment ago, you were very kindly explaining the current situation and military secrets.”

Even Sirius, who had no qualms about revealing military secrets, had a headache when it came to the spirit’s explanation.

How on earth do I explain this?

It seemed like he didn’t even know the method itself.

“Inma! That’s something I can explain, so I said it. Spirits are different. How should I explain this?”

“It’s the same for us. Why are we explaining spirits in the first place?”

“None of us have ever been born without a single instance of explanation.”

In fact, it is not impossible to explain the existence of spirits.

But that method is used by humans and other races.

Elves don’t have to explain spirits to others.

For them, spirits are friends and companions.

Who in the world defines a friend?

Still, if we must define it.

“Um, so Su…… sir?”

“Just call me Su.”

“Yes, then. A spirit is a type of magical life form.”

“Magic life form?”

A male elf walked up to Seungwoo.

The elf, who looked intelligent because he was wearing glasses, said.

“First of all, basically, yes. They are creatures made of magic. That’s why other races define spirits like this.”

Magic power with a will.

“Magic power with will.”

“Yes, that’s the basic definition of a spirit. I’ll explain the rest as we go.”

The information I heard from the intelligent elf was neat.

He first listed the basic physiology and special features of spirits.

Among the numerous pieces of information about spirits, three things remained in Seungwoo’s mind.

The spirit exists based on the four elements.

The spirits are divided into ranks from the lowest to the highest, and above them there is a king for each element.

and.

“So, you said that all the spirits that were like companions to your elves were corrupted, and the result of that corruption was the rider, right? That red armored horse that I killed.”

“Yes, that’s right. By the way, Su, the one you killed was once called the High-level Fire Spirit.”

The spirit was, to a certain extent, his enemy.
