23 – Seven Families, Their Successors

“…… Awesome!”

Kwaang, kwagwagwagwang!

Serena was bitten as if rolling her body backwards once in the mana storm that raged at every turn.

She was the one who tried to catch her breath by taking advantage of her gap.

“…… !”

Hoo-wook-

Because White’s new model had disappeared from the front before he knew it.

“…… Where?!”

As soon as Serena narrowed her eyes and began to look all around her.

“Here.”

“…… !”

A short word came from behind her.

And right after that.

Wow!

“…… Ah!”

Serena widened her eyes once at the aura of thunderbolt spreading from the center of her back to her whole body.

Shortly after, her body fell helplessly, and White was standing behind her.

Truly calmly, with tired eyes.

Unlike Serena, who was constantly taking her breath, it was as if there wasn’t even a hint of guidance from her.

“…… Is this enough? Serena Lycanter.”

“… ….”

Kwaak-

At White’s voice that echoed quietly, Serena gritted her teeth as if indignant.

‘…… What a difference?’

Her pupils gradually began to shake.

I heard about it.

The current successor of the Qliphoth family, White Qliphoth, is said to be a wizard born with unparalleled mana.

He was born with the natural talent of a magician, and he is said to be a suitable successor to the famous magician Qliphort, in order to become a magician.

…… Yeah, there’s no way you wouldn’t know

It’s not just rumors going around in social circles, it’s because she’s heard those words from the person she trusts the most.

-I heard that the son of the Duke of Qliphort has already risen to the 5th circle. Let you be diligent

“… ….”

Her vividly echoed in her head, to the voice of her own father, the Marquis of Ley Canter.

Serena gritted her teeth and started to stand up from her seat.

…… It was a simple word, and it wouldn’t have much meaning.

It was not the way of her own father, the Marquis Lycanter, to put her intentions into such words.

Really, it must have been just a word she said to motivate her beloved daughter.

…… But.

‘Inferiority, is it?’

Is this an inferiority complex?

Serena had a question in her mind.

Am I feeling inferior to White Qifoth?

To a boy of his own age who is still only in the 5th circle, right below the mage level.

No matter how much I cut the overwhelming difference with myself.

‘Is this me feeling inferior?’

“hahahaha.”

…… Ironically, a dejected laugh leaked out.

A deep smile appeared on Serena’s face.

“Not yet, White. I can do more.”

At some point, the name of the family fell out of the titles that were used to call him.

Did she really know that?

Or did he just call it that subconsciously?

Otherwise.

At least for now, do you feel that it doesn’t matter what happens?

“…… You want to do more here? Sincerely?”

White’s expression was colored with absurdity at the sight of Serena holding a sword and aiming it at her again.

‘…… I thought this would have been enough.’

Isn’t he like that too?

At least outwardly, he was said to have reached the 5th circle, so he only used limited magic.

Although it is only the magic allowed to the 5th circle, if the user was a wizard who once rose to the rank of a great mage.

Its power, its application, and its proper use of mana.

It is only natural that things will change.

That’s why, even though she is the one who will become the strongest knight of her empire in the future, it is inevitable that she will not be able to match herself.

The difference in power and rank was overwhelming, so it was enough to describe it.

From noble mtl dot com

It is safe to say that it was inserted into the body.

In order to break her will, I pushed her so aggressively on purpose.

…… If so

“… ….”

Anyway, she didn’t seem to be able to understand it so easily and move on.

“Whoa… ….”

Leading her wounded body from White’s one-sided magic bombardment, Serena gave strength to her hand as she struggled to hold her sword.

Ugh-

Once again, a golden aura began to form on her sword.

‘Why?’

At that point, White couldn’t help but have a question.

‘Why is this guy acting like this?’

Wasn’t it just a simple argument?

In the first place, she said that her own words were the cause, but that wouldn’t be the reason why she fought so passionately.

At least one word from her, though for her it may be one that gets on her nerves.

Anyway, there would be no reason to swing the sword so seriously.

Hook!

“… ….”

At the golden sword that flew towards him once, White lightly evaded it by twisting his body slightly.

“…… Ah really!”

Perhaps he was quite agitated, Serena screamed harshly.

Even so, her eyes were gradually becoming eager.

That was something to be said very strangely.

“Once again…… !”

Kwagwagagagak!

“…… Hmm.”

Ugh-

White lifted her hand lightly and moved the mana as she grounded her sword blade.

「Shield」

Kwaguawang!

With a light explosion, the sword energy was blocked by the shield and scattered helplessly.

“…… hahahaha.”

…… However, for some reason.

Despite all of her own attacks being blocked, Serena’s smile only grew wider.

‘…… Pride, huh?’

A different color began to form in White’s eyes that contained that smile.

For some reason or not, I felt my emotions escalate.

I wonder if White knew that the corner of her own mouth was creeping up.

‘It’s good to be honest with your emotions.’

With a fierce glare in her eyes, White lifted her hands slightly.

Then, before long.

Took.

Thuduk, thudududuk.

“…… Her.”

Because countless blue marbles began to rise behind him.

At the destructive energy of mana contained in each orb, the expressions of the heirs of other families who were watching the situation secretly hardened.

…… Shouldn’t it be dry at this point?

To be honest, the two men and women aiming their swords and magic at each other like that.

Really, they only looked like people who had half lost their reason.

Isn’t he like that too?

‘…… Who fights like that with such a bright smile!’

Aidan Kecil, the heir to the Duke of Kesil, who was appointed as the next chancellor, screamed inwardly.

The successor of Qliphoth and the successor of Lycanter.

Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, and no matter how they looked at them, they didn’t look sane.

“…… Shouldn’t it stop at this point?”

That’s why Aidan quietly looked around and said that.

“What, how is it? It’s good because it’s interesting. It feels like my heart is pounding.”

The heir to the Vampir marquis family, who inherited the lineage of vampires called the rulers of the night. Red haired and red-eyed Orca Vampir.

“I agree. To be honest, the fight between Qliphoth and Lycanter isn’t something you can easily see, right?”

Joshua Heisen, the heir to Count Heisen, an eccentric family digging into mechanical engineering.

“Even if the fight between the Marquis of Lycanter and the Duke of Qliphort is impossible, a fight between their successors……. Honestly, I can’t help but be interested.”

In the words of Julian Schneider, the heir to Count Schneider, the Marquis who guards the borders of the Empire.

“… ….”

Aidan’s expression turned grim in an instant.

…… Are all the heirs of the 7 generations only mentally ill?

Can’t you guys see it now?

The bloody momentum that those two exude?

No, he must be watching better than himself.

Isn’t it obvious?

When it comes to power, they should be able to see much more than the helpless themselves.

‘Still, does that word come out of your mouth? You crazy people?’

…… I had a feeling that I wanted to spit it out like that.

I was so dizzy that I couldn’t even speak.

“… ….”

So reluctantly, Aidan shifted her gaze to the back with her last hope.

“Umm, are you looking at me?”

“…… Yes, Lady Leia. You were there.”

Aidan cast a subtle gaze towards the successor of the Leia family, the sacred family that controls the empire’s religion.

“What do you think? Shouldn’t we stop them right now?”

“Mm, mmm… ….”

At Aidan’s question, Persia Leia frowned.

“Well, I see.”

She looked worried for a while, but then she opened her mouth again with her refreshing smile.

“Wouldn’t that be nice? The two of you who are fighting like that right now look happy, do we really need to step in and stop them?”

“… ….”

She abandoned Aidan, her last hope.

Surely, Aidan’s expression was stained with despair.

‘…… Is this a group of crazy people, I want to get out.’

Muttering inwardly, Aidan lowered her head.
