Chapter 154: Someone’s Teacher – 2

To be honest about what I felt while working as her apprentice for over three years… All wizards were good at magic, but in real life, they were bad. It was normal to not know how to bake bread properly, not know how to make coffee properly, and to lie down naked in the hallway before taking a shower and fall asleep.

Of course, from such trivial matters to reviewing various documents, other documents from the Mage Tower or the imperial family, and sending replies, it was all my job. Later, he even took on the role of grading the test answer sheets for students learning magic at the Mage Tower.

Of course, there were many people who didn’t like me taking on the job, as I wasn’t from a family that had been in charge of the mage tower. If I hadn’t shown my talent for magic and overpowered the elders with overwhelming skill, I’d probably have been fucking hard by then.

Of course, even back then, I was not of the lineage of the Master of the Mage Tower of the Earth, but there was a lot of talk about taking the position of his disciple. Then Skadi arbitrarily took me in as an adoptive child. The elders were surprised and argued with Skadi, and I was also surprised and grabbed her by the collar. When asked why she did that, she answered confidently.

[I did it because I wanted to?]

Neither the elders nor I could keep our mouth shut. She was confident until the end, and I suddenly had a mother who was 9 years older.

And the imposing woman left me with all sorts of chores, and devoted herself to research in her office.

“I’ve finished grading my exam papers, checking my thesis, and even writing an official letter to the imperial family.”

“Good work, disciple.”

“No, what if I take on all these things? And while doing so, I will study leisurely…”

“hahahaha sorry sorry. Then I’ll grant you a wish. What would you like? A hug?”

“I’ve never received anything like that, and I don’t want it, so please show me what you showed me before.”

“Haaa, you stupid eunuch, is that really enough?”

I nodded, and Skadi stood up, stepped on the carpet in the middle of the spacious office, and waved her hands in a dance. Glowing spheres of magical power gathered at the tips of the fingers that performed beautiful dance moves.

“It’s water.”

The orb of magical power quickly turned into water and was scattered around like silk. Before the drops of water wet the floor, Skadi drew another beautiful line with her hand.

“It’s the wind.”

The water droplets turned into wind and gathered in her hand in a small whirlpool. she said, clapping her hands.

“It’s a flame.”

The crushed whirlpool turned into flame, which she wielded like silk. Before touching the bridge of my wide nose or the wooden furniture, her hand moved again as if playing a beautiful melody.

“Ice.”

The silk of flame that swung widely froze while maintaining its splendid shape and turned into a beautiful piece of ice. As she clapped her hands again, the ice shards shattered and tried to fall into small, fine ice crystals. Before ice shards piled up in the office, she opened her palms again.

“Earth.”

The ice crystals turned back to dirt and gravel and gathered in her hands, as she laughed and uttered a final spell.

“Be the rock that supports all things.”

The soil and pebbles had turned into palm-sized rocks. I couldn’t stand it because the movements and magic she showed me were so beautiful. Her magic became a new light to me, who was a simple pirate.

“hehehehe, you really like this too? It’s not that great of a skill.”

Everyone may not think so, but that magic led me to a real world of magic. The graceful light that creates something out of nothing was more beautiful than anything else in the world. Attracted by that light, I became a wizard from a magician before I knew it.

“Well, I feel sorry for you. You took over my official job. But you, with that ability, are definitely like a ‘wizard’.”

“If you’re so sorry, save an attendant at least. If you think of my hard work sweeping and polishing the mansion every day.”

“Heh, I said I’m sorry! You apologized and hung up, that’s not like a ‘man’. And being a servant is 180 degrees different from my taste, so I pass.”

After all, I was doing all the chores, from preparing meals to washing dishes, cleaning, laundry, and gardening, but I didn’t count as a servant.

“No, what kind of research do you ask people to do all sorts of chores and devote themselves to?”

She started putting on a confident face. To be honest, I wasn’t that curious, but at the time, his confident expression was strangely bothering me. And she said with a huhuhuhu and an unpleasant laugh.

“Innovation in the magic world! It’s literally the wisdom of Skadi, the lord of the mage tower of this land, melted into it…!”

“I don’t need an introduction. What is it?”

“Linger guy.

“Isn’t that very insignificant?”

Even without proper chanting, as long as you practiced, you could use magic. Well, anyway, the land attribute’s no-incantation magic ended up throwing a few rocks. Rather, it was much more profitable to add a few verses of chanting at that time, so the field of chanting without chanting was almost abandoned.

“But this is different. It’s magic that even ordinary people can use even a little bit of magic! It’s such a magic that it’s rude to compare its power to ordinary no-chant magic!”

“Oh, that’s great.”

“Are you saying that’s a completely soulless answer?”

“I won’t stop you. But how much have you completed? I want to be freed from this hell of chores as soon as possible.”

“Well, I’ve roughly completed the big picture… I’ve completed the theory that forms the basis to some extent… but I’m missing the part about the precise operation of magical power, the increase in power, and delicate manipulation.”

“Then roughly how long do you think it will take?”

“Hmm… 20 years from now?”

It was an incredibly long time. I was 35 at the time, so it just felt helpless. But even as she said it would take another 20 years, she put on a look of anticipation. Can’t you feel how long that time is?

“Do you know how long that is? By then Master will be forty…”

“I’m not talking about my age to women. And I can’t live until then anyway.”

“…”

She had a rare disease. That’s why even a country like this had no choice but to make disciples in a hurry.

“But what about it? If I can’t do it, you will complete it. If you can’t do it, your disciple will complete it.”

“In the first place, there is no guarantee that I will inherit it… but it’s your own dream, so is it okay if someone else achieves it?”

“Whoops, that’s not like a ‘wizard’, nor like a ‘man’. I want my dream to come true, not necessarily me. Having someone stand at the end of the road I’ve been dreaming of… That’s it.” It’s a real dream. Anything else is just what you call future hope or greed.”

At the time, I couldn’t understand her words. It was just that her expression as she spoke of that dream… was shining more beautifully than any magic, so I just wanted to support and help her dream.

“Haa… I’m tired of taking on the things Master has asked me to do. I’ll take a deep breath and listen to the story of the dream.”

“Well, you must be tired too. Lie down on the sofa and get some sleep.”

I laid my body on the sofa, and it started to rain again and again outside. While lowering her heavy eyelids, she started singing again, playing the sound of rain.

“Why is that unknown bird in the sky chirping so sadly…”

The lyrics, which I normally ignore, started to feel beautiful and friendly from then on. They say that only those who know the lyrics understand the value, and I also came to know the value. Because I was determined to follow her dream, it was clear that there was an invisible thread between her and me.

“My beautiful child…”

From then on, I started to like the sound of the falling rain. Because when it rained, I could hear her beautiful song.

From that day on, I took care of all the chores, and when I had time, I helped her with her studies. As each day passed, she grew emaciated, so she had to hurry. No matter how irrelevant it is, I wanted to show you the sight of that dream coming true.

But on a rainy day, I didn’t do anything, lay on her lap and listened to her lullaby.

“You look good on rainy days.”

“… I don’t hate it.”

“But rain is the natural enemy of the earth. No matter how hard the earth is, when it rains, it is washed away and separated.”

Whatever she said, I liked the rain. Because I was able to meet her because I was swept away by the rain.

It’s just that the day her words come true and that I hate the rain came too soon.

We went to buy the materials needed for the experiment, and we ran into a group of assailants wearing robes. The gangsters were all extremely talented, and the man who seemed to be their leader said this.

“The time has come to regret turning the Karven family into enemies.
