We Defeated the Demon and Disbanded Without Any Conflict

24 – The stubborn wizard

“What’s up?”

Only Thor spoke. Recently, the frequency of training with me has noticeably decreased, as if Thorman is paying attention to improving his own skills.

“No, not really.”

As a result of living without his brain, he took off the bandage in front of Lane without much thought. There, I almost drew my eyes like I always do in front of him. …Lane seemed to have already noticed.

I thought I had improved a bit lately, but I guess not.

I thought it would be okay, but the moment I looked straight into Lane’s blue eyes, the self-hatred that had been buried deep inside came out again.

“Really? Well, if you are, then that’s it.”

Thorman shrugged his shoulders and went back to his seat, as if he wouldn’t dig that deep. And it was rather comfortable to react like that.

..

“Hello. Bandage-san is here today as well.”

Recently, Friersil suddenly narrowed the seat and sat next to me. Apparently, even at the entrance ceremony, ‘Take off that dirty bandage!’ It’s a little burdensome to be a person who said, ‘I’m suddenly pretending to be friendly like this.

“Huh? Yes.”

“I mean…”

Having lost her luck, Priersil soon begins to tell her how she has been. I didn’t even ask, but I feel like a student who wants to be praised by the teacher.

She seemed to be happy even though they were casually agreeing. She rummaged through her bag as if she just remembered.

“I also stacked that backpack one by one as Mr. Bandage told me. How is it?”

“Why go to a labyrinth? You don’t have to organize like that normally. Isn’t it annoying?”

“Ah.. uh.. um..”

At my words, Priersil hesitated for a moment. Did you mean to praise me for doing as I was told?

“It’s not bad though. It’s really cheap as I told you.”

When I say that while gently touching the inside of Friersil’s backpack, she expresses her delight.

I can’t see it, how do I know? You can feel the energy exploding in all directions.

“Ehehehe.. Ah, that’s why… I want to go for that job as a scout or skirmisher, not a wizard…”

“Huh? I don’t recommend that.”

Skirmishing is not a preferred profession in the first place.

He has the highest chance of dying, and it is hard to get recognition in the party, and he is often stressed outside of combat. I knew it very well because I lived that way while pooping blood.

On top of that, Friersil was a cadet who had been recognized for his combat talent and was admitted as the top student. If you break the road and become a skirmisher here, it is no different than rotting that talent.

“A skirmisher who uses magic. How is it?”

Priersil hesitated to ask if he had read my thoughts.

I don’t know why you’re asking my opinion, but well, it would be much better to just go to the Magic Tower to study magic or be an adventurer.

This is advice from life.

“Free! Why are you sitting next to this person? It’s annoying that he always sits behind him and doesn’t even know what he’s thinking? Even if he’s the chief, you don’t have to be friendly with everyone, right?”

The woman who was with Friersil spoke to her.

At the point of openly ignoring me, I can feel how much my position is among the first graders.

Suspicious appearance and middle-ranking skills.

Even though I sparred with Prion Coulson, who was notorious for being picky and annoying, I didn’t show much success, always sitting in the back seat blankly, unable to stand out in any way.

Since the senior officer named Friersil was talking to me, I would have been annoyed by the people who were willing to stick to her and eat soybean paste.

‘We live so hard, what are you!’ with the feeling that

“Well, take care of yourself. It’s your life, so you have to think and act.”

The lecture was over anyway. I got up from my seat and went out of the classroom.

“..ah.”

“Don’t worry about people like that, and we should go to the next class.”

“..it’s annoying..”

“Huh? What did you just say..”

“No, nothing. Okay. Let’s go to the next class.”

Since I was quite confident in my senses other than my eyesight in the first place, I could hear Priersil’s murmuring voice.

Are you talking to me? I put my thoughts aside for a while and headed to the dean’s office as promised yesterday.

As soon as I opened that huge door, I felt the presence of two people. Golden magic and red magic collided as if fighting.

“Huh? What are you guys doing?”

“theory!”

Solar ran to me and hugged me.

Both Rain and Solar, don’t you think your personality has changed lately?

I slightly recalled the noble Rain and the arrogant Solar in the past, and I lightly stroked Solar’s head as she was rubbing against me with my face buried in my chest.

Although they are the same age, because of their height and appearance, they just looked like younger siblings, so I patted their heads without realizing it.

If you think about Mirsen’s case, maybe I’m weak against younger people.

“Ron. Ron…”

Why are you smelling it? I don’t smell.

Just in case, I grabbed the cadet uniform and sniffed it, but it didn’t smell like that. No, have you gotten used to it and can’t handle it?

“Do you smell me?”

“Ron. I was scared.. Lane suddenly got angry.. and told me to come to the 7 star meeting..”

What about Lane? That Lane begged you to come to the meeting? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t believe it.

And do I smell it? You don’t answer my question.

“Quickly…quickly stroke my hair…”

“Huh? Uh. Lane. Did he have infantile regression?”

Looking at Solar, who took my hand and raised it with her head as if anxious, I asked Rain. Lane shook his head while making a confused face as Lane did.

“Solar. When did I say that…”

“huh.”

Solar didn’t even listen to Rain’s words and buried her face in my chest again. The crimson magic that crackled and collided with each other disappeared at some point, leaving only golden magic floating around in the dean’s office.

“You have to tell me exactly what’s going on so I don’t care what I say.”

When I, unaware of the situation, said that, Solar lifted her head from her chest and looked up at me.

“How dare you call me, the apex of a wizard, on your own. I think the liver came out of the boat? What’s there? Not magic research, but labyrinth subjugation? You have to gossip about it. ..So I said I wouldn’t go.. Suddenly, Lane got angry…”

She showed a bit of an arrogant Sola, but soon she started crying again as if she was afraid, showing a frightened figure she had never shown before.

Didn’t you turn your back and say, ‘It’s not a big deal…’ when you were fighting the demon lord?

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

No.. It’s been half a year, so maybe things have changed. Even more so, when I heard the news, it was Solar who had spent quite a long time in a closed space called the Mage Tower. No matter how good magic is, if you were there without any other human relations, your mind might be a little shaken.

Then, did you force yourself to look like your usual self when you first met? For me whom I met after a long time?

Thinking so makes me feel sorry for and proud of this little archmage. It feels like seeing a younger brother who is self-reliant and who is working so hard but doesn’t want to open his hands and doesn’t show signs of struggling.

“That’s right. You must be in a bad mood.”

“Yeah… It’s scary… I hate it…”

“Then it can’t be helped. To be honest, if you think about the level of the Demonic Realms now, you don’t have to gather all 7 castles, right?”

“..That’s it, but..”

When I say that to Lane, Lane shows a rare sign of dislike. But that’s for a while.

“..That’s right. But..”

Hesitating over something is not for Lane. I pushed her back saying ‘just say what you want to say’ to her who was fumbling with her fingers, and then Lane nodded and said, as if she had made up her mind.

“I’ll tell you because it’s a ‘special’ relationship where you and I share secrets. Odrox and Lian are also coming to this 7-star meeting, so I wanted to ask Solar to come as well. So I became a bit urgent, so I raised my voice.”

Responding to her word ‘special’, Solar trembled, buried her face in my chest once more, and started to whip me.

“I don’t like it though. It means I won’t fall out anymore. If we go and Ron, who is left alone at the academy, gets involved with strange people…”

“Huh? I’m going too?”

“uh?”

Solar blankly looks at me after falling away from me. really? I felt like asking, so I nodded my head obediently.

“Ah.. no. I don’t like it.”

What else do you hate, these selfish wizards?

“Ron, why don’t you just come back with me? I’ll protect you…”

“That can’t be done. The purpose this time is not simply to subdue the Demon Lord, but to let people know that there are still people who can keep the peace, so the two of them are too few. In addition, Ron will definitely ask for his name to be removed again.”

“..huh.”

Sola, who does not want to admit it, snorts and starts ignoring it. I feel like I’m getting more and more like a child, but isn’t it really infantile regression?

About a minute passed without speaking to each other,

“Yeah.. I’d better go and talk to you first..”

As Solar’s stubbornness gave way, Rain asked me as if she had been waiting.

“Ron, what do you want to do? Do you want to have a meeting?”

“Huh? I’m done with the meeting. I’m not even a 7 star anyway.”

I don’t know about Odrox or Lian, but I know very well that the other 7 stars won’t be happy with me.

Besides, boring activities like meetings aren’t fun. It would be more fun to study alchemy.

“..Okay. Sola, can you use space movement magic?”

“You’re trying to pamper me with a shuttle? You can use it too.”

“I can use it, but I can’t use magic efficiently yet, and more than two people can’t move together.”

“Whoa.. well, good. Where?”

“The drawing room of the duke. Is that possible?”

“What do you see me as?”

A collaboration between Rain and Solar that was once common. It was a precarious atmosphere that seemed to keep sharpening for some reason, but it was nice to see them working together like before.

So, along with Solar’s chant, their images were scattered as light particles, and at the same time, I was left alone in the dean’s office.
