< 146. Candidates >

#146

“This is a call from Instructor Nabirose. You say you have something to say about the festival of swords.”

“A festival of swords?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. I’ve heard it a few times. Did you say that it was a meeting and ceremony held by outstanding swordsmen from all over the continent? He seemed to have heard that somewhere in Parzan where the ceremony was held, the legendary holy sword was hidden.

Come to think of it, when I came back from Haeju, Nabirose once said that the festival of swords was not far away. Ronan was just about to follow Schlieffen. Asher tugged at his sleeve.

“Wait a minute.”

“ok?”

Asher was restless and licked her lips. He looked like a fucking dog. Ronan said looking back at Schlieffen.

“I’ll be going soon. I have to go first.”

“Come not too late. 1 It is an arena.”

Schlieffen left the room. Ronan opened his mouth only after the footsteps had completely disappeared.

“What’s going on?”

“Hey, I think I should show you this.”

Asher, who was rummaging through her arms, held out a black book. It was the Vajura of Destruction of the Forbidden Book written by the Savior. Turning the pages one after another, he turned to the last page. Ronan’s eyes widened.

“This···.”

“This has changed since I came back from Rodolan. No, to be exact, one sheet has been stretched.”

Asher shrugged in fear. It looked like it was made of paper by slicing ice. The last page that was newly created was all painted white.

A shrill chill was emanating from the sheet, which was apparently made of a different material. If you look closely, you can see that there is a small inscription. Ronan tilted his head.

“What is this written on? Frozen… Field?”

“My, the spell and how to use the cold magic. It’s very detailed. If I have learned to a certain extent, the content automatically changes to the next level…”

“what?”

“I, I don’t know either. Why did this happen?”

Asher stuttered and continued. He complained that the new page was just trying to teach him. This bizarre paper was passing on the knowledge of cold magic step by step as if it had become a teacher.

Among them, there were some great magic and information that had not yet been revealed to academia. In fact, it was thanks to that book that Asher was able to handle the cold in such a short time, albeit inexperienced. Ronan frowned.

“I feel bad.”

Aside from usefulness, it was kind of unpleasant for an inanimate book to behave like a human being. Hearing those words, I felt like I was somehow popular.

Ronan was looking at the last page with his face pressed against each other. A familiar voice rang out a little.

【Nice to meet you.】

“Ahhh!!”

“Damn it, what is it?”

Asher jumped out of place. Ronan reflexively threw the book. thud! Asher, who was taking a quick back step, stopped only after hitting the back of the head against the wall. After breathing for a while, he said in a watery voice.

“Bar, bar, what just happened? yes?!”

“… it must have been the voice of that bitch.”

it was undoubtedly It was the voice of the winter witch. It was just that moment when Ronan looked around with his hand on the hilt of the sword.

[Ayah…but, isn’t it a bit too much to throw?]

The witch’s voice was heard again! Ronan turned his head in the direction of the sound. Vajura was scattered all over the place. He spoke slowly.

“…you said that?”

【That’s right, kid. Long time no see.]

“Shake. What happened?”

The witch’s voice was coming from Vajura, to be exact, from the last page that had turned white. The witch with a low smile continued.

【I was able to dramatically leave the soul behind. Ah, that was really dangerous.]

“You said you left a soul behind?”

【okay. Some of the rituals allowed me to leave behind some of my soul in this book. That’s why I’m talking to you too. It’s not as good as that kid, but this one is a great bowl.]

The witch explained that she was able to exist thanks to the rituals she performed on Rhodolan. He added that one of the purposes was not only to destroy the souls of Evelyn and Asher, but also to split their own souls and put them in the Vajura.

It was so arrogant that it was absurd. As soon as she finished speaking, Ronan pulled the hilt.

“Damn bitch.”

Picking up Vajura, he opened the last page. And alone, he pointed the tip of his sword at the white paper. It was the moment when Ronan raised his arm.

【Come on, wait! What are you going to do now? Stop!]

“It sucks to stop. How do you know if there will be another revamp?”

The witch cried out in a bewildered voice. Ronan explained that he would cut out the last sheet separately, put it in an envelope, and send it to the Twilight Tower where Rorhorn is. The original white paper became paler.

【Hey, I really don’t want to do that this time! If I had been plotting a plot in the first place, I wouldn’t have told you anything. Isn’t that right?!]

“Then why are you acting suspiciously like a teacher? ok?”

【Like that old man, I just want to teach this child! After all, the only thing I can do right now is…

“Explain.”

Ronan put away the knife. The witch who barely saved her life continued.

[…] I have been through many vessels. More than three orders of magnitude mortals danced in the snow with me. I remember all their names.]

“It’s proud.”

[But even though I got out, there was no case where I could use my powers.]

The witch explained that it was unprecedented for Asher to be able to handle ice. There was a time when she stayed in one person’s body for over ten years, but even she lost her power as soon as the witch escaped from her body.

Just looking at Evelyn right now, it was like that. She could wield ice, but it was the ice originally handled by the Frost Mage Evelyn, not the witch.

【That child is special. For the first time since existence, I felt that I wanted to teach someone.

“Aren’t you going to use education as an excuse to increase your strength? To find a man who resembles me.”

[Ahahaha… That child wouldn’t even meet me like this. Moreover, it is impossible to increase strength in this state.]

The witch sighed. She compared all parts of her body except for her little fingernails to being stolen by Rorhorn. As Ronan said, even if he wanted to restore his strength, he said that there was no room for growth because his soul itself was torn.

【With such a feeble soul, nothing can be done. It’s all about speaking or projecting text on paper. I can’t die and live.]

In the first place, it was said that there was no strength left to do something suspicious. Judging from the mana felt in the last sheet, it didn’t seem like a lie. The witch, who had been silent for a moment, spoke.

【Just teach me. If I break my promise or try to deceive, you can do whatever you want.]

There was a sense of sincerity in his resigned tone. Ronan’s lips twisted around. It would take the premise that everything the witch said was true, but frankly, it was a very attractive proposition.

Who in the world would receive a one-on-one education from the highest-ranking spirit comparable to that of Hiran? However, this was an issue that could not be easily resolved. Ronan, who was drooling, tapped Asher’s shoulder.

“Asher, you decide.”

“Yes···?”

“Can you believe what this monster is saying? You don’t know because you’ve been stolen from me once.”

“That, that….”

Asher stuttered. When I think of that time, my legs are still shaking. Frozen time, the embrace of a woman and the destruction of its ruthless body. He opened his mouth, staring intently at Vajura.

“…it’s true that it’s weakened. At least I don’t have enough power left to affect me. That’s for sure.”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to learn.”

Asher closed her eyes tightly and nodded. I had to be strong so that I wouldn’t have to go through that any more. Ronan chuckled and put the knife back in. The witch’s voice resounded.

[This is indeed the right decision. What a pretty child.]

****

Asher eventually chose to become a disciple of the witch. After seeing the witch and Asher proceed with the oath of Mana, the deteriorated version of the oath of blood, Ronan left the room in peace.

‘It’s been bold. On the stinky subject.’

Ronan grinned as he walked down the hallway. Asher’s eyes, as she whispered that she wanted to learn, were leaving her mind. He couldn’t even kill a goblin properly, so a guy who struggled with it would grow like that.

As Ronan was walking while thinking about various things, he arrived at the first arena. Schlieffen and Nabirose, who had already arrived, were talking.

No other students were seen. Nabi Rose, who made eye contact with Ronan, grinned.

“The hero who ended the winter has arrived. Thank you for taking the time for my humble master.”

“Damn it, don’t make fun of me.”

Nabirose chuckled. Fortunately, compared to the last time, the complexion was much better. It seemed that the wounds in her heart caused by her defeat by Jaifa had been healed to some extent.

“It’s a joke. Do you have any urgent business?”

“Yeah, because my friend had to make the choice of a lifetime.”

“If that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do about it. Stand by Schlieffen.”

Ronan did that. Nabirose’s expression became more serious. She looked at the two of them alternately, and then opened her mouth.

“Yesterday, I received a call from the Holy Land Parzan. They said that the festival of swords will be held in the middle of next month. As many of you may be familiar with, a prosecutor who has not reached a certain level is a high-level position where you cannot even participate.”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. It seemed that only the two of them knew why they sang separately. Schlieffen raised his hand and asked a question.

“It seems to have come earlier than originally planned, is there any reason?”

“I don’t know about that either. The date of the event is decided by the old men of Parzan. However, as you said, it is true that this is an exceptional case. In any case, you are punctual.”

Nabirose shook her head from side to side. Seeing that there was a questionable expression on her face, it seemed strange even to her.

“I think one of the two of you should go through every grade.”

“…one person?”

“okay. The number of people who can attend at Phileon Academy is one teacher and one student. Only the stronger of the two of you can leave with me to Parzan.”

Scared of hearing those words, Ronan and Schlieffen looked at each other at the same time. Both of them looked calmly as if they weren’t interested, but they didn’t seem to have any intention of backing down.

“I have no intention of giving up.”

“Did you even think I was joking?”

Ronan chuckled. The serene atmosphere quickly became ferocious. Schlieffen, who was staring at him quietly, whispered lowly.

“I can’t help it.”

It was a brief moment, but a dreadful life rose over Schlieffen’s shoulder. It was as serious as when I made an oath to protect Iril almost two years ago. Apparently, he felt a lot of pressure about the place of the festival of swords.

‘Is it that important?’

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. To be honest, he didn’t have any special feelings for the ritual of the sword. It’s information I’ve never heard of in my previous life, and the holy sword, the greatest significance of hosting, was literally a nonsensical existence that only appeared in legends.

But if you ask me if I want to step down, it’s not. Ronan’s attention was on the swordsmen who gathered from all over the world.

Judging by the fact that you can fight freely, it would be helpful to improve your skills, and maybe you could find a strong helper. Nabirose opened her mouth.

“Who will go will be decided three days before I leave for Parzan. Whoever wins the battle will go with me.”

Ronan and Schlieffen nodded. So far this was expected. Then, completely unexpected words flowed out of Nabirose’s mouth.

“Instead, there are conditions. For the rest of the month, you are prohibited from competing with each other.”
