76 – Past

Late morning past midnight.

In the dark mountain where not a single light could be seen, a bright green light burst out.

Wow.

And each time the light bursts, the mountain begins to rumble a little, and before the ringing ends, the light bursts once again.

No matter how much Fenia is the only great wizard on the continent, she couldn’t move the wagon to the mansion at once.

Therefore, Penia had no choice but to use teleport continuously to move the wagon.

The outside appearance that changed every time I used the teleport was a sight I could never see except today.

However, should I say it?

Because of the rapidly changing field of view and the wagon shaking greatly, motion sickness, which was not usually experienced, began to rise.

“Pe, Ms. Penia. It’s too fast…….”

Elise tried to stop Fenia by covering her mouth with her hand, but Fenia couldn’t hear her words properly as her voice was muffled because of her motion sickness.

I turned my head to see the reaction of those in the carriage.

Except for Aline and Fenia, everyone had their backs against the wall and covered their mouths with their hands.

I looked at her with pity and tried to tell Fenia to slow her down, but I couldn’t say anything because she was in an unusually focused state.

Fenia’s teleportation magic didn’t stop, and after a while, her appearance was fixed and the carriage stopped rumbling.

“Did you arrive…? … ?”

“It looks like we arrived.”

It was a little past midnight when we started at the ball.

I looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

The time was still a little over one o’clock.

With her teleport magic, Fenia arrived in just 40 minutes, a distance that would have taken at least 7 hours.

At the word that they had arrived, they collapsed against the wall and began to move their bodies little by little.

Knock. Knock.

Then a light knock on the door came from outside.

When I allowed the door to open, Luna greeted us as if she hadn’t slept yet.

“Have you been there? Master.”

Luna bowed her head to greet me, then slightly turned her eyes to look at the fallen people inside the wagon.

And then, lost in her thoughts for a moment, Luna slowly opened her mouth again.

“I will support the fallen. The owner has heated the bath water, so you can go to the shower room.”

Before leaving for the prom, I had told Luna the day before that I would be back around morning.

I don’t know why I was expecting it to come soon, or if I kept preparing for it thinking it would come soon.

“Thank you.”

I was just about to take a bath because I was nervous from dancing with Helena and the smell of sweat soaked through my body.

It was the time when she was about to move her feet to enter her mansion after leaving a short thank you to Luna.

Turning her head, I passed Luna, who was walking supported by her Luna, and looked at Fenia, who was still in her carriage.

“Penia. Aren’t you going back to your room?”

She was staring blankly at the night sky at the sound of my voice, then turned her gaze to me.

“Go in first. I’ll look at the night sky and go in on my own.”

At Fenia’s words, I followed her gaze and looked at the sky.

Today was not even a full moon, and there were only two stars in the night sky.

It wasn’t really the sky to see the night sky, but I silently nodded and moved to the bathroom at her unusual atmosphere.

Luna helped all the people suffering from motion sickness and returned to the mansion.

Left alone in the carriage, Fenia listened to the sound of insects coming from the forest and looked at the stars in the night sky.

“You look a lot alike….”

Looking at a large star floating in the sky and a small star nearby, Fenia murmured softly.

The two stars looked like a teacher and disciple standing together.

The world knows that Rail was Fenia’s first disciple, but in fact, she had another disciple before Rail.

I wasn’t particularly gifted in magic, or from a very wealthy family.

He had talent on par with the others, and he was one of the orphans on the market.

Feeling pity for the skinny man who hadn’t eaten for days, she handed him some of her silver coins and left.

Even at that time, thanks to her reputation as a great wizard, she had no shortage of money and always did good things to children.

Her children, having received her silver coins from her, once again ran to her and begged for her money when they saw her penia.

‘It’s not my fault that the child is poor.’

And Fenia didn’t really scold them and handed them a few coins.

As usual, while walking around her market to buy her ingredients to make her potion, a boy who had put some silver coins in her hand a few days ago came to her.

-‘Hello! Archmage!’

The boy who had given enough money to not starve for a week was still so skinny that his bones protruded.

And seeing that, Fenia slightly twisted her eyes.

Her It was because sometimes there were people who deliberately refused to eat her food and begged again to get more money from her.

Taking a deep sigh inside her, Fenia reached into her arms to give her money to her boy.

She also gave the boy a little more silver than she had given before.

However, the young boy did not accept the silver coin she handed her.

Then, with a tense face, she opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, then carefully opened her mouth.

-‘Can you teach me magic?’

Fenia couldn’t open her mouth easily at the boy’s words.

It is surprising that the boy begging at her market doesn’t take her money, but she tells him to teach him magic.

Penia was in trouble for a while in a situation that was different from what had happened so far.

It wasn’t that she didn’t make her disciples for any particular reason.

It’s just that she didn’t have disciples because she didn’t have anyone in her eyes.

-‘Little boy. Where did you use the silver coin I gave you last time?’

Others, most of them would lie to avoid being caught hiding money secretly.

But she is the only archmage on the continent.

Fenia, who can easily detect even a child’s lies, looked at the boy with her calm eyes.

-‘Ah, the money the wizard gave me was given to children who are poorer than me. Lol.’

Until now, there have been children who lied to her questions and lost their temper, but I have never seen a child who smiled with her shy face.

And seeing that her boy’s eyes were pure and unfeigned, Fenia asked her boy’s name.

-‘What’s your name?’

-‘My name is Jack!’

Seeing Jack’s strong reply despite her skinny body, Fenia nodded her head, and she taught her magic directly as he requested.

Jack wasn’t particularly gifted with magic.

However, if his master was an archmage, no matter how untalented he was, he could grow faster than those with talent.

-‘You must be hungry, so please eat this.’

And Jack, who learned magic from Fenia and started earning money himself, gave money to the poor like himself in the past.

Although he was a man without talent, Fenia hoped that this kind of life would continue as he saw Jack, who would not be able to follow others with a good heart.

But did they say that crises happen in unexpected situations?

One day, while Jack was teaching magic as usual, dark clouds began to form in the blue sky.

It began to rain heavily enough to submerge the house, and fierce thunder roared from the sky.

Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung.

And the entire continent began to tremble ominously, and a huge magic circle appeared in the dark sky. And there, a gigantic figure gradually appeared.

It was a creature that had never been seen before, but those who saw it floating in the sky all answered the same.

-‘D, it’s a dragon! Run away!!’

-‘Kyaaa!!’

The summoning has not been completed yet, so even though only the head is sticking out, everyone screams and runs away from the feeling of intimidation.

Penia and Jack looked at the dragon’s head floating in the sky.

The reappearance of a dragon that was sealed a long time ago means that someone deliberately lifted the seal.

-‘Su, Master, that it appeared… ….’

And Jack and Penia were able to predict who the culprit was.

-‘They must be warlocks… ….’

The black magicians opened the seal to destroy the world that rejected them.

All the wizards and knights on the continent quickly began to gather at the fact that the dragon’s seal had been lifted.

Then, to deal with the dragon with only its head out, I attacked it with all my might.

However, the lamentation human attack was not eaten by the dragon, and a hot breath spewed out from its huge mouth.

-‘Blood, avoid!!’

With one breath of the dragon, half of the territory instantly turned into a sea of fire, and on top of it, the corpses of those who could not avoid the breath were burning.

And among the corpses, Fenia’s disciple Jack was lying on the floor bleeding from his mouth.
