Conflict (4)
“Please come this way.”
Having said that breakfast was ready, we went to a large table and sat down. Yesterday I ate comfortably, but today, in a more formal way, an employee was standing next to me.
Aiden’s mother, Carol Aiden. She seems to be a geek in a strange place.
I looked at Noah Park and Aiden who were sitting opposite each other.
Noah Park glances at Aiden, unable to speak, and Aiden knows that gaze, but never even gives her a glance. Arwell, sandwiched between the two, was only touching the tablecloth.
ok. It hurts. How do you reconcile the two?
It’s funny to even call it reconciliation, it was me who fought Noah Park, not Aiden. Things got tangled up, resulting in this bizarre outcome.
In the original story, they are antagonistic to each other, so it would be nice if they could be friends. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the relationship will turn into an enemy now, but…
‘My position has become more difficult than that.’
What a sudden time attack declaration.
“You are coming.”
Soon the door opened and Carol Aiden appeared. Unlike the time she had met before, she had a cape that looked cumbersome around her shoulders. As the employees said hello, she gave me a wink so I wouldn’t be seen by others.
When I saw it, I put on a shaky face.
…my body explodes to death. I remember the conversation I had with Carol a while ago.
“Isn’t that an exaggeration? Really.”
“really. I do not make such malicious jokes.”
I dare to declare that what I wish was a joke is not a carol. When I hear that I am going to die all of a sudden, I don’t feel anything like it. She only thinks that her opponent is making bad jokes.
“Why am I dying?”
“Well. The mana attributes you currently have are fire, water, and ice. There are so many of them, but they have divine power and erosion. He’s quite a cursed body for talent.”
“It’s a curse…. Isn’t that good?”
“It’s called a curse because talent is ambiguous.”
what are you talking about Seeing that she did not understand my English, Carol kindly began to explain.
“There are two reasons why most wizards only deal with a few attributes. Do you know what it is?”
Well, that’s right. When I think about when I nurture in the game…
“Isn’t it efficiency and talent?”
That’s right, because one magic is stronger than many miscellaneous magics, and the type of magic that you can easily manifest has already been decided. But Carol waved a finger at my words.
“Ding. Talent is right, but not efficiency. Magic is a selfish science that says whether you focus on a few or focus on many things, you will become a good person.”
understanding goes. To give an extreme example, there was also a training method for Noah Park to learn magic of all attributes.
“What else?”
“It’s for safety. As long as there are multiple attributes in the body, whether they are opposite or not, these attributes coexist and influence each other. Except for very rare people.”
“···I do not know. I don’t know how to say that.”
I spilled my mana and let the mana rods float in my arms.
During this process, I do not feel any discomfort or pain. But if time passes like this, I will explode and die because of the mana that is flowing now?
Carol said as he fiddled with the mana rods floating on my arm.
“Did I tell you before? The problem is that the talent is ambiguous. You have the talent to learn these, but you don’t have the ability to keep them. Have you been learning these attributes recently?”
“So I don’t know yet. But as time goes on, you will start to feel the slightest pain in your body and gradually get worse.”
Having said this, it is an unbelievable fact.
I didn’t know that learning magic blindly would become a self-reinforcing agent.
When learning magic as Noah Park in the game, there was no problem at all, regardless of which attribute was acquired. In the end, it was possible that such a thing was possible because it was Park Noah…
The source of my talent for learning magic can be said to be a privilege. Thanks to the privilege, I gained magical knowledge through an accidental ‘enlightenment’.
If you think about it, this ‘Seo Ji-han’ body has a talent for magic, so it is said that he is still alive even after he has learned this.
‘I’ll take care of it.’
It is an unexpected ambush. If I hadn’t had the talent at all, I would have noticed the problem right away.
“What should I do to fix this?”
“You have to figure it out yourself. How to make a vessel that can withstand mana clashes.”
“Are you talking about ‘enlightenment’?”
“It’s similar. It’s not just a simple mental awakening.”
Carol tapped her head and placed her other hand on her chest.
“Physical changes leading to mental awakening. This is the way.”
Even with that explanation, I couldn’t understand what he was talking about. Carol said with a bitter smile as if she had noticed my thoughts.
“You don’t even have a personality yet?”
“Then, fortunately, I have more options. You can look for those kinds of personality stones.”
. . . is a stone of personality.
There are literally many types of personality, so I was able to find enough. Among the things I remember, there was a personality that allowed me to use the magic of the polarity attribute at the same time. maybe that’s what you’re saying
‘However···.’
Getting something like that doesn’t help.
Using an opportunity as a positive means to increase my power to eliminate my negative would be something a stupid person would do.
I shook my head at Carol’s words.
“no. I will not rely on individuality.”
“Hey….”
Carol let out an exclamation, but the look on her face made it seem like she already knew I was going to say no.
“Then why don’t you try training? Maybe someone you know.”
“…are you talking to your mother?”
“The joke. Do you know ‘Ron Ahart’, the head of the wind attribute? He might be able to help.”
“If it’s Ahat-nim, it’s good to be with him.”
“Five? I’m happy. then···.”
Carol felt strange as she spoke and frowned a little.
“what. But didn’t you tell me anything about your condition?”
That’s right. I couldn’t help but let out a sigh of confusion.
“yes. There is none. The last time I saw him, he just admired it and didn’t say anything.”
“Hmm. Well, because that person is sneaky.”
“okay···.”
Ron Ahart. Also, a villain is a villain.
That shameful bastard…!
“Why does your friend look like that? Food doesn’t suit your mouth?”
Carol moved the spoon and spoke in a solemn voice. That person pretended not to know me, but it really is. does it mean anything
“no. It fits nicely in your mouth.”
“I’m glad. Eat slowly.”
Rather, why do you even ask why I am doing this?
Maybe Ron Ahart wasn’t unique, it just occurred to me that each wizard had a different insidious aspect.
Carol turned her head and looked at Noah Park and Arwell who were sitting next to each other.
“It’s been a long time since Noah and Rihanna.”
“yes. Carol.”
“Ryan is the same, but Noah…”
Carol, who was pulling the horse, looked at Noah Park and smiled on her lips.
“You are doing quite a few things. Should I say ‘growth’?”
“······thank you.”
Noah Park replied one beat late and drank the water from the wine glass next to her. It seems that Carol is also noticing her faith.
As Noah Park’s face hardened a little, Carol raised her spoon as if she didn’t care.
“okay. Have you met the guardians?”
“Not yet.”
“Even if it’s uncomfortable, light your face and go.”
“Yes, I think so…”
ugh
Even though it’s mealtime that should be fun, I feel like I’m pretending to hear a conversation with a heavy atmosphere. It was definitely a good-tasting food, but the texture was gradually changing like chewing on cardboard.
Of course, Carol Aiden, the protagonist of this event, was an exception. She was eating very wildly.
“And Ellen.”
“yes. mother.”
“I heard something about the academy recently. Did you do some work in the tower?”
moon crack. Aiden carefully placed the spoon and answered.
“yes. I have something to do with Ahat-nim. I did something illegal in the rebuild, so I helped.”
“okay. You did well, but the Dwan family mumbled something.”
“···okay?”
“It’s just like your father or I who listen to gossip for nothing, so if you’re going to do it, do it right.”
“Yes, I’m sorry.”
It was a harmonious conversation where you could roughly understand the education policy of the Aiden family. In other words, if you are going to step on it so you won’t be able to do it again, you have to trample it.
That way of going strong even for Dwan, a family of the same level. I could see the process of how Aiden’s personality was formed.
“…awesome.”
I finally put food on top and quietly tapped my chest. Carol’s eyes naturally turned to me and she found an empty plate.
“Is it not enough?”
“no. I’m full…”
I don’t want to eat more when I’m hungry.
The uncomfortable breakfast ended so quietly.
swish. After dinner, while the employee was cleaning up, Aiden came over to me.
“Mr. Jihan. Come here.”
Aiden grabbed my hand and led me to Carol. As I stood in front of Carol, Aiden pointed at me and introduced me.
“mother. This is Seo Ji-han, whom I mentioned earlier.”
“Oh, so? Nice to meet you.”
“···Nice to meet you.”
I took Carol’s smirk and gently squeezed her hand.
this is true Were you custom-ordered clothes to introduce them to your parents?
‘The problem is that Carol knows that.’
It was really Aiden to be sloppy.
Aiden said to Carol right away, as if he had been waiting for it.
“mother. Something I asked for.”
Carol started examining my body as if she was doing it for the first time. Although she already knew the result, she only spoke of her feelings after spending a ceremonial time.
“Ellen, as you said, the word “regular” is correct. I am from pure earth, but I am like this…”
“Is that right? Are you very talented?”
“yes. Maybe your grandfather will like it.”
“That’s right. Ji-han.”
“haha···.”
I smiled mischievously at Aiden, whom I liked, as if he had been praised. Carol didn’t say I was in danger.
You can’t say things like that where Aiden is, so you must have met me beforehand.
“okay. Maybe if you learn magic properly, you will become a good wizard.”
Carol gave me a meaningful message.
Right…, that’s right. In addition to the Corrupted Hero scenario, there is one more task to be solved.
‘I will make my body enough to withstand the collision of mana.’
This was something I had to do without relying on the power of the perk. I always call Ron Ahart, but will that gentleman help me out?
The aggro management system is showing interest, but it’s better not to wait for it. As always, I will find a way somehow.
It doesn’t make sense to come here and watch the self-destruct ending.
“More than that, Ellen, are you going back in the afternoon?”
“yes. You have to think about how long it will take to get back.”
“okay. I’d love to see your dad, too, but I can’t come down because I’m still at work. Are you saying that the special class is just the beginning?”
Aiden nodded at Carol’s question.
“yes. But I haven’t been able to explain how it will roll yet. I’ve heard it’s mostly practical.”
“I see.”
Carol said, stroking Aiden’s hair.
“.. take care of yourself.”
“yes? Yes, of course.”
Aiden didn’t avoid the touch, whether it was awkward or not, while his face was closed.
It’s weird. I felt a strange sense of déjà vu as I listened to her harmonious conversation with her mother and daughter next to her somehow. It could be her mood, but she did it because it seemed like Carol really cared about her.
By the way, the reason was soon realized.
The instructor, who was in charge of the special class, started talking while standing in front of the podium.
“okay. You don’t need to say hello because everyone knows your face. It’s hard to say since starting a new class, but to put it bluntly, we were commissioned to catch a ‘fallen hero’.”
plague.
