Of course, you can start by neglecting the basics, but you will definitely have problems later.

In other words, the process and outcome could be predicted by looking at just one basis.

‘Magic enhancement isn’t easy just because you’re a swordsman.’

Because swordsmen trained their bodies, their stamina and strength were superior to those of wizards.

However, just because the body supported it did not mean that it could withstand the magical power increase better.

Because the swordsman couldn’t follow the wizard when it came to magic application.

‘However, Shion Reggiard… … .’

Unless you’re a skilled wizard, you couldn’t withstand the heat generated by the magic power increase.

Rather, focusing on increasing magical power could lead to injury, so it had to be stopped immediately when a certain time was reached.

However, Shion Regiard controlled even that leisurely and did not show any signs.

‘If you have a well-rounded foundation, you can become a mage.’

Many people forget the basics after learning.

In the first place, the basics are contained in the process, and the body and mind are adapted.

However, without a foundation, you cannot move to a higher level, and you could make mistakes and fall into hardships.

‘Although it may take a long time… There is nothing that cannot be achieved.’

Natural talent, rich environment, special conditions, passion for magic, and a willingness to constantly strive.

Numerous processes are formed by these factors, and each of them faces a different result.

Some people will rise to a high level quickly, while others may never reach it.

However, if he continued his diligence without forgetting the basics, he would reach that level one day.

‘If you can withstand the magical power augmentation, you’ve got that quality… … .’

Of course, it wasn’t enough to be accepted as a disciple of Setinos Quasar.

He wouldn’t have learned in-depth about mana management, and he couldn’t even implement elemental magic.

If Shion himself showed interest in magic and proved his qualifications, wouldn’t it be possible to view it a little differently?

‘It’s probably too late to recommend it now.’

Shion Reggiard was already walking the path of a swordsman.

Even magic power was tailored to the way the swordsman used it, so he couldn’t change it arbitrarily.

If I made the wrong choice by saying something for no reason, I could face the worst result.

‘Speaking of swordsmanship… It would be right to leave it as it is.’

In all my life, I had never heard of a prosecutor who used sword skills at the age of 19.

Because he realized it faster than the current king, he had a talent that could be counted on one hand.

That’s why everyone left Shion Reggieard to peek into the future where it could become a Setinos Quasar.

“Shion, do you remember what you promised me the other day?”

“… We made a promise to each other about whether my fiancé would become a mage within six months or not.”

“If you don’t get the title of mage after nine months, what are you going to do then?”

“You should get it in six months.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, my fiancé has that ability.”

Shion answered calmly and turned her gaze to Hanette.

Although he didn’t know much about magic, he was able to notice it to some extent because he used magic as well.

If it was Hanette, he would become a mage within six months at the latest and repay his trust.

“Hoo… Do you have a reason?”

“well. What reason do you need for trusting your fiancé?”

“indeed… I said something stupid again.”

Walter smiles faintly in admiration.

Of course, Shion Reggiard would have known what level Hannette Adelaira was at.

Nevertheless, if you see her blindly trusting her, wouldn’t it be that she truly loves her fiancé?

‘Is that why rumors like that spread?’

The rumors that flowed from the nobles’ social gatherings had reached the Rivdad Magic Society before they knew it.

The crazy young lady has changed, she doesn’t drink and gamble, she often hangs out with her fiancé, isn’t the fiancé educating the crazy young lady?

Of course, rumors always contain false information, but this time it seemed to contain the truth.

‘It will be difficult in just 6 months… … .’

Walter had high regard for Harnett’s talent, but his lack of experience prevented him from looking further.

It would take a considerable amount of time just to build that experience, and he had to consider dropping out of the mage screening.

That’s why I made the judgment that it could exceed a year by setting six months as the minimum period.

‘It’s not something that can only be done with the heart.’

There was no way his eyes were wrong.

Because he had already seen many wizards and raised disciples with outstanding qualities.

Hanette Adelaira would never become a mage in six months without working a miracle.

‘How can everything come true just by wishing for it?’

* * *

The residence of the Marquis de Prandike, an indoor gymnasium.

Shion slowly stepped forward and stabbed the wooden sword.

Hafnon immediately evaded and tried to counterattack, but a wooden sword was already following him.

In the first place, stabbing was a trick, and it was to take advantage of the gap created between them.

‘As the days go by, the technique is increasing.’

Hafnon quickly swung his wooden sword to parry the attack.

Then, it seemed as if Shion’s wooden sword was slowly being pushed out, and then it slipped all the way.

Hafnon instinctively bends his body and leans his shoulders with all his might.

‘Aren’t you tired?’

Hafnon pushed away Shion’s wooden sword, scattering sweat.

At the same time, he widened the distance and swung a wooden sword towards his left side.

However, Shion steps back lightly and avoids that attack.

‘I have to come in… … .’

Hafnon looks at Zion in bewilderment.

Shion exhaled heavily, but his posture did not change.

‘That time is coming.’

Hafnon put down his wooden sword and catches his breath belatedly.

The sparring was conducted on a set date and time, and opinions were often exchanged about the sparring process.

Advice to each other was very helpful, and I was able to build up my skills day by day while reflecting on the sparring.

However, as I gradually felt the limit, I had no choice but to give up this sparring.

‘I haven’t mastered swordsmanship yet… I’ll have to give up.’

In the first place, swordsmanship was a skill that had to be learned through senses and experience.

He wouldn’t have been called the pride of a prosecutor if he could have been enlightened just by hearing a few words.

Right now, he was satisfied with just being able to exchange swords with Shion Reggieard.

“Would you like to take a little break?”

“Oh, no. If it’s okay with Shion-san, I’d like to continue.”

“If so… … .”

Shion quickly changed her stance and rushed towards Hafnon.

Even in the midst of this, Hafnon laughed and pointed a wooden sword at Shion.

“You two are great. You still haven’t let go of your sword.”

Raina shows a curious expression while looking at Shion and Hafnon alternately.

At this point, even though it was difficult, I had to stop sparring.

However, the two of them gave up even taking a break and were constantly swinging their wooden swords.

It seemed as if they wouldn’t end it until one of them collapsed.

“They’re trying to be considerate of each other.”

“Yes? Why are you caring about this?”

“Since we have goals for each other, we want to work harder. If you don’t have sincerity, you’ll betray the other person’s expectations, right?”

Hannette observed the couple’s sparring and replied nonchalantly.

Shion and Hafnon were colliding with each other with all their might, keeping their manners with their swords.

I had already made a promise, and since this sparring was the process to achieve my goal, I did not back down easily.

“Um… I think I know a little bit what you’re talking about.”

“It may look foolish in the eyes of others, but… I think it’s cool. There’s nothing wrong with trying, right?”

Harnette stared at Zion with her eyes narrowed.

I’ve been watching it to the point of getting tired of it, but I wondered if my eyes would go to it by itself.

Her silver hair was drenched in sweat, and her purple eyes gleamed brilliantly from time to time.

As time passed, that impression and atmosphere were deeply engraved in my heart.

“ah… Did you just tell your fiancé that you look great?”

“… Yeah? Oh no.”

“That would be natural for Miss Hanette. Are you in love with each other?”

“I’m trying hard… … .”

“You mean it’s cool to see your fiancé working hard. I understand. It has to look great.”

Hannette couldn’t resist and carefully covered her mouth.

It wasn’t that I felt that Zion was cool.

He was just proud to wield the sword with all his might.

It was a word that included hafnon, but why is it misunderstood like that?

“Oh! I had a question for Miss Harnette.”

“Hmmm… What are you curious about?”

“How did you get along with your fiancé? It must have been very strange at first.”

“Yes? Oh, over there… … .”

Harnette tried to avoid Rina’s gaze and slowly turned her head.

I had never thought about the reason in the first place.

From the first time we met Shion, we spoke in a flat language and even quarreled. How did we become close?

“I think my fiancé did a great job. You have to look good to Miss Harnette, right?”

“Well… I don’t think you did well.”

Of course, now that I think about it, Zion did take care of me in many ways.

However, the first meeting wasn’t very good, and after we got used to each other, we only pretended to care a little bit.

If Shion had acted like the other sons of nobles, he would have tried to ignore them somehow.

“I think he must have received a lot of expensive gifts.”

“… It must be expensive.”

Harnette is conscious of the necklace she is wearing and recalls what happened then.

He blew magic into the necklace for himself, and eventually came to himself through the necklace.

I didn’t like the necklace because it was expensive, but now it was more precious than anything else.

You have to have this for Zion to come to you again.

“He was handsome, and his manner of speaking was gentle.”

“Well… is that so?”

Harnette pretends not to know and glances at Shion.

I knew he was handsome, and he showed a humble attitude in front of others.

He acted calmly under any circumstances, understood his position and feelings well, and did not break his promise.

When I think about it, I think there are more advantages than disadvantages.

“And again… ah! It was there.”

“Is there anything else you want to ask?”

“Did you hold hands with your fiancé?”

“It’s about a hand… “

“Oh, no. Have you ever tried hugging each other?”

“uh… Well… … .”

Hannette stayed silent, lost in thought.

There was no way they could hug each other in a yard where even holding hands was embarrassing.

These days, after getting engaged, do you think everyone puts their bodies together like that?

“I think we even kissed! Yes?”

“So far… … .”

“Are you embarrassed right now? That means you’ve done it all.”

“Yes?”

“You spent the night with your fiancé!”

“That never… … .”

“Are you going to have children already? Even before the wedding! Oh my gosh!”
