'Oi, what the hell was that?"

 Schneizel's face twitched and his voice trembled. The hand he quickly extended was clutching the hilt of his greatsword.

"Schneizel. Has your apprentice ever killed anyone?"

"Not that I know of! Maybe he might have killed Cassandra at least once. But not with a sword like that!"

The sword that Norwin showed was so formidable that Schneizel forgot to pay his respects to Galdias.

 The moment he held the sword to his left, there was a tremendous stench of death in the air. It was nothing but a sword technique that he had acquired after killing hundreds and thousands of people.

That is why Schneizel was so puzzled.

As far as he knew, Norwin had never used a sword.

"Schneizel. Let's go."

Y'es!"

The two went to the arena the moment the match ended and retrieved Norwin, who was unconscious.

Only Schneizel, carrying Norwin, ran to the medical office, while Galdias went to Almire, who was the referee.

'General Almire, "I'm going to go with you. I'm going with you. It's not good."

"What's its condition?"

"I don't know the details. I just have a feeling that a terrible spell has been planted on him. I realized later that the timing was when Norbu stopped for a moment during a match. That's when he did something to me."

"I understand. We'll go after Schneizel right now."

'. No, go ahead of me. I'll go gather my men."

After Schneizel, Galdias and Armile also moved.

 The man who had taken Almire's place as referee resumed the proceedings, bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

" The winner is---'

Thus ended the final match, with Lucy, Sarasvati, Lieselotte, Raymond, and many others feeling discomfort.

️.

". I don't understand at all."

Huh? You're still the head of magician?

"Calm down, you big sword fool! There are magicians in the enemy's ranks that even I can't analyze! This is no time to be fussing!"

'I know that! But if Norwin doesn't make it..."

"That's why we're working so hard! Shut up for a second!"

 The infirmary was filled with tremendous tension due to a heated argument between two fierce men who had crossed the line.

Almir's men were standing there with their heads together, and the weak-hearted ones were the ones who fainted first.

'. If you've got time to stand around, do me a favor and take a look around outside.

「「「「 Huh 」」」」

 The two men were called in as Almir's assistants, but they had become a burden because they could not analyze any of the magic that Norwin had cast on , so they ran outside to see if they could get out of here.

Only Norwin, Schneizel, Galdias, and Almire were left, still passed out in bed.

"Even with the skill of a master magician, nothing can be solved by this magic?"

'Nothing, General. Maybe it's a curse."

"Hey, is this the type of magic that doesn't mind killing the magician?"

'. I'm checking that as well. Just wait a little longer."

 Almire returns to the analysis again. In the meantime, Schneizel and Galdias decided to talk about Norwin.

'There was a moment during the match when he went rigid, wasn't there? That means he did something at that time."

That's what I'm staring at. And then there is the possibility that Norwin is also an agent sent by the enemy..."

"Are you serious about that, Your Excellency?"

 

Schneizel pressured him with a stern expression, but Ghardias continued with a cool face

". Tens of thousands of lives may be at stake. If push come to shove, I will kill this boy, even if he is your apprentice."

"Sir!"

"That's what a general should do. If it is best to cut him off, even if he is family, then you must do it. Always prepare for the worst."

"Yes, but!"

I'll leave you to it.

The man entered the infirmary without any sense of unease, even though he was arguing with Schneizel and Galdias, he slipped past their vigilance and entered the infirmary.

 He had a neatly shaped face. Eyes that held an intelligent light.

Nicolas von Endenberg, Norwin's father, smiles a small smile.

, "So, why are you here?"

'I have business with my son. It's been a long time, General."

"Oh, yes. "

Nicholas bowed gracefully and walked between the two to the bed.

"I'm sure it is Nicholas, isn't it? You were in the army about ten years ago, weren't you?"

"Yes, it's been a long time. Armile.'

Schneizel is surprised by Nicholas' presence. and Gardias is apologetic.

 And Almire looks at him with some hostility.

"What do you want with the hero who's done?"

'I have already told you, . I have business with my pride and joy , my son ".

"I'll take care of it."

 

"No, you can't do it. It would be impossible for you. The Norwin curse is a kind of magic that embeds memories of other people's experience. The more you use the magic that consists of those memories, the more your ego will be eroded."

'What? What are you talking about?"

By implanting a part of the memory of the deceased and making the living use many of the techniques based on the memory, the consciousness of the deceased is revived in the body of the living. This is such magic.

"I've never heard of such sorcery. Why would I know about it?"

With a stern look on her face, Almire turns to face Nicholas, with offensive magic deployed all around her.

In some cases, she will kill him. In the face of such murderous intent, Nicolas kept his smile on his face.

"I don't advise you to kill me."

'Are you a recluse?"

'No, actually, it is under these circumstances."

Nicolas pulled out an envelope from his pocket. Almire was speechless when he saw the seal stamped on it.

 The king's order.

It was stamped with a seal that only His Majesty the King could use.

Almire, who has many chances to see it because of the nature of her work, was instantly convinced that it was genuine.

---Nicolas is now acting with absolute power under the king's order.

'If that's the case, then so be it. I will cooperate with you as much as I can. But first, answer me one question. Are you an enemy or an ally? "

"Am I that shady? Am I?"

"Go look in the mirror, idiot."

"I was only joking, Almire. I am on your side."

After smiling, Nicolas continued:

"I am here to remove the memories that are embedded in Norwin's mind."
