Chapter 69

When a person with the qualifications communicates with the demonic sword, several changes appear.

Basically, the mana in the body increases significantly, the senses become sharper, and the concentration increases.

In rare cases, other phenomena occur, and Hannett was directly related to them.

‘already?’

Shion, slightly startled, hurriedly steps forward.

Of course, because Harnette was going through a process different from the original content, the time to obtain the magic sword could have been advanced.

However, contrary to expectations, I wondered if that time had come too soon.

‘No matter how fast you have to go until the middle… It’s the beginning, isn’t it?’

Shion hovers around the outside of the training room and stops at the closest location to Hanette.

Harnette’s light brown eyes were already dyed golden.

In other words, it has exceeded a certain level, and it also meant that it was ready to communicate with the demonic sword.

‘It’s a bit bad… … .’

Currently, Harnette was undergoing a mage examination.

You can find the magic sword later, but you have to wait at least one month to reapply for the mage examination.

If he handled magic calmly, he might have passed, but if he was once swept away by emotions, fierce flames would cover all sides.

‘Are you okay? It seems to be the same as usual.’

Shion carefully observes Hanette, immersed in her thoughts.

He looked more serious than ever before, and his mana was being discharged at a certain level.

The flame continued to crack and disperse, but the overall shape was maintained.

In other words, Harnette was calmly implementing magic without losing her reason.

‘Does it really have to go through a lot of actual combat?’

Harnette originally goes with the main character and experiences various battles.

In the process, he would have used magic in various ways, and it would have led to communication with the demonic sword later.

Now that magic is being applied close to actual combat, it might have been influenced indirectly.

‘Now they both look alike.’

The head of the Logos Society was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected counterattack, but he quickly regained his senses and deployed his magic.

Then, Hannett’s flame was pushed back, and eventually the two flames interlocked and were put on an equal level.

They constantly dug into each other, aiming for gaps, but they were quickly canceled out and only returned to the starting point.

‘If this… Isn’t it pass?’

Shion cautiously turned her head and looked at the presidents.

No one had yet requested an end to the judging, and the spectacle of the two sparks colliding was watching.

Perhaps he was considering whether to pass or not, or he was trying to hear the evaluation of Hannett from the president of the Logos Society.

“Make a decision to end the examination.”

The presidents of the academy glanced at each other and came to a quick conclusion.

The magician on the outskirts immediately condensed magic upon receiving the instruction.

Then, a gray barrier rises from the center of the training room and pushes the two sparks away in an instant.

“Exam ends! Please reap your magic!”

Simultaneously with the cry, Shion quickly sets up her posture.

Harnette could have lost her temper for a moment and refused to follow those words.

Shouldn’t we be prepared for an accident before it happens?

“Sigh… Sigh… … .”

Harnette exhaled heavily and slowly erased her mana.

Both hands trembled slightly, and it seemed that the desire and passion to use more magic overflowed.

But it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t control it, and I didn’t want to show an ugly side in front of Zion.

“Have you thought about it?”

“Ah, I’m still thinking about it.”

“I don’t understand. How long have you been learning magic? … .”

The presidents of the society gathered together and started discussing the review.

Walter nods softly, conscious of Shion’s gaze.

Then Shion moved quickly and approached Hanette.

“Sister, are you okay?”

“Ah, then. Are you fine.”

Hannette takes a slow breath and smiles.

The eyes, which had been shining with a golden light, had returned to light brown.

Shion examines Harnet here and there, only then is relieved.

“how was it? I tried, but it doesn’t work.”

“I think I will pass.”

“… Do you really think so?”

“I was pushed back at first, but I persevered well in the end. That’s good enough.”

“yes?”

Harnette looks out at the presidents and steps forward.

My right foot touched the ground, but my center of gravity collapsed and I leaned all the way to my body.

Shion quickly stretched out her hands and grabbed Hanette’s shoulders and waist.

“It’s fine?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Why is this?”

Hannette looks down at her legs with a tired face.

From the thighs to the feet, little by little convulsions occurred.

In addition, I seemed to feel a similar trembling in my shoulders and arms.

“You seem overworked. Can you stand up?”

“Why? You want to pick me up?”

“I can carry you if you want.”

“… it’s okay. It’s a little embarrassing.”

“What is there to be ashamed of? If you carry it, you will carry it.”

“Ah, okay. Just give me support.”

“Can you pick me up?”

“Just hold my hand. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Ugh… … .”

Shion slowly pulls the harness and helps her get into a good posture.

Hanette left her body to Shion and began to take one step at a time.

“Huh… … .”

“Good times.”

“This is so… I’m all embarrassed.”

“Well, with this again… … .”

The presidents glance at Shion and Harnet, then continue the discussion.

It must have been a side effect of quickly consuming the mana in the body.

However, he had no choice but to give a high evaluation because he implemented equal magic against the President of Logos for a very short time.

“Didn’t you say you’ve been learning magic for about three months now?”

“I heard it was two and a half months… … .”

“Two and a half or three months, isn’t that it?”

“He said he learned the basics at Sadpore and came over to Logos.”

“What did you do to get to that level in three months?”

“That’s right, doesn’t the president of Rivdad know well?”

The President of Logos said solemnly and looked at Walter.

The other presidents also cautiously turned their heads and waited for an appropriate answer.

“hahahaha… I don’t know. I allowed the mage screening in the hope of experiencing it once.”

“No, if the president of Rivdad doesn’t know, who knows?”

“I was a bit surprised too. When I saw it, there were many things that were lacking. Didn’t I gain enlightenment without even realizing it?”

Walter had nothing else to say about Harnette.

It was close to a miracle, and I didn’t even expect that it would produce a power similar to that of the logos president’s magic.

It was to the extent that it looked as if he had achieved tremendous growth right before taking the mage examination.

“I must have worked harder because my fiancé was watching.”

“Does that mean you work hard? Does having a fiancé increase your magical power?”

“If we had done something, we would have recognized it right away.”

“I approached Miss Harnet, but nothing was visible.”

“… Is it that hard to say let’s pass?”

When the president of Logos opens his mouth, the other presidents fall silent for a moment.

If Harnette’s judges had brought up that word, she had no choice but to follow it to a certain extent.

In addition, since the head of the Logos Society was a master of flame magic and a wizard with the title of a mage, he had no choice but to respect his opinion.

“If I had been in charge, it would have taken a good year… The President of the Rivdad Society has achieved results in 3 months. What more do I have to say?”

“what… If the president of Logos says so… … .”

“Then let’s pass.”

“Couldn’t the president of Rivdad be against it?”

“Am I? Could it be that I will follow the words of the president of the society.”

Walter humbly replies and slowly turns his head.

The two men and women were looking at each other and whispering softly.

Perhaps Harnette was conscious of Zion and brought out her potential.

Your feelings for each other will be stronger and hotter than anything you’ve ever experienced.

‘… Was it so sublime to call it emotion? I still have a lot to learn.’

royal palace, royal palace.

Brandis was preparing to leave after finishing work early for the first time in a while.

Days like today don’t come often, so I had to leave the palace quickly and grab the sword first.

If time permits, he might try sparring with Glonet.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to stick with Barchen Regard.’

Brandis has been receiving reports periodically since Barhen joined the Royal Knights.

How well are you training, how are your skills, how are you getting along with other members, are there any sick spots, etc.

Of course, there was no problem in any part, and I had doubts because I was adapting too quickly.

‘How long does it take to see a swordsman using swordsmanship… … .’

Of course, some members of the Royal Knights were trained or learned sword skills while performing their duties.

Of course, there weren’t many of them, and there were many times when they coincided with the period of withdrawal from the Royal Knights.

However, since Barhen joined after awakening to his sword skills, he would be able to further enhance the reputation of the Royal Knights.

‘Ah, was there Shion Regard?’

Hearing the last name, Reggierd, naturally brought the name to mind.

A swordsman who awakened swordsmanship at the age of 19, a man who risked his life with his fiancé to refuse the king’s order, and a nobleman who made a great contribution to destroying the rebel hideout.

I wondered if I was curious about what he was doing lately.

‘I said I would take the silver as a disciple… … .’

With the sound of a knock on the door, Glorone enters the palace.

Brandis is delighted at the thought of having a sparring match with Glonet, but does not erase her solemn expression.

“Your Majesty, it is time to leave the palace. Could you tell me where to enter the palace?”

“I still have time… It would be okay to cross swords with you.”

“How can I, as the commander of the Royal Knights, raise my sword against Your Majesty?”

Glonet politely refuses, and tension seizes him.

Even when Brandis was a princess, she tried to avoid sparring as much as possible.

Especially now that he was the king, he had no choice but to pay more attention.

“If the head of the royal knights refuses, shouldn’t we also call Barchen Reggierd?”

“your majesty! I dare to speak my truth… … .”

“hahahaha! Stop it. You can’t be nagging with just one joke, can you?”

Brandis laughed and stood up.

Glonet was belatedly relieved and lightly bowed her head.

“Since the words came out… How is Zion Reggieard doing?”

“… They say they are learning swordsmanship diligently.”

“Any other news?”

“Shion Reggieard has been keeping quiet, but he says something special happened to his fiancé.”

“You mean Hanette Adelaira?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What happened?”

“They say they got the title of mage.”

“… … ?”

Brandis looks puzzled at Glonet in silence.

It was sudden news, and I couldn’t even understand the process.

When did he learn magic and how did he acquire the title of mage?

“Is that true?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Brandis tries to ask more, but suddenly comes up with an ingenious method.

I felt like I could finally get rid of the lingering feelings I had harbored in my heart.

“… You can enlist Shion Regard and Hanette Adelaira in the Royal Knights.”
