EP.53 Resty Eleanor (4)
Tracker, Kalt.
He is a knight with battlefield experience.
It may be absurd to simply say that I experienced it. Kalt was at the forefront with first-class knights.
Assisted Knight Commander Heinkel.
Assisted top-notch wizards from the former Mage Tower.
Although the main task was assistance, no one questioned the necessity of Kalt. He did not look down on him, saying he was from a commoner.
Kalt stood by their side solely on his own ability. On the front line, there is no time to worry about status. There, soldiers are only treated according to their usefulness.
And, Kalt was a good soldier.
My head is soaring.
He is perceptive and quick to judge. He had all the virtues necessary for the battlefield. His talent as a tracker is also outstanding.
Talented people stand out wherever they are. If it is a battlefield where life and death arise, then there is nothing more to say.
-Kalt, I would like to make you a suggestion.
It was also natural for Kalt to be given an opportunity.
-I won’t force you. There will be no disadvantage if you refuse. This is just a suggestion.
This is an opportunity given directly by Knight Commander Heinkel. There was no reason to refuse. Kalt accepted the offer.
-Okay, then let me explain right away.
-The unit you will be supporting this time will be a bit special. In fact, it’s not even worth calling it a unit. Because there are only two people there.
and.
-Sage Raniel and warrior Kyle.
-Your job from now on is to assist those two.
There, Kalt met the wizard.
“Please come in.”
Heinkel gestured, and someone came into the tent. The man’s hair is gray. The eyes visible beyond the sharp eyes are blue.
“oh.”
The wizard smiles.
“You said you were the dog of the knights? I’m counting on you.”
Then, he suddenly approaches and holds out his hand.
“Please feel free to call me Raniel.”
That was the first meeting between the gray wizard, Raniel Van Trias, and Kalt.
“···Gaeko?”
“That’s what the knights call it.”
“hmm.”
And, the Kalts of that time were quite fearless.
“So are you the virgin magician?”
“What the f*ck?”
that day.
Kalt was beaten until not a single speck of dust fell on his grimy leather armor.
It was a story about a night when it was raining heavily.
2.
“Uhm…”
Kalt smoothed his side. Today, my side and back felt particularly sore.
‘···That day was the first time I realized that being dusted off on a rainy day really means what the sentence says.’
It was a day when I gained new insight.
“Sniff, hmm.”
Kalt rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his hand.
Is it because I’ve been feeling numb for a long time? My nose feels sore.
“Whoa…”
Exhale briefly.
The exhaled breath lies low at the bottom of the dark underground waterway. Kalt slowly stood up.
“Ugh, ugh.”
The wizard sitting down groans.
He is a renegade with strong vitality. Kalt stabbed the traitor’s neck with a dagger that was curved like a hook.
‘Because if I memorize a spell for no reason, it gets annoying.’
Turn the hilt of the dagger briefly.
He took out the chain built into the bag and wrapped it around his hand. Then he pulls the chain as if pulling her leash.
“Whoop, whoop!”
The chain swings with a clanking sound.
The spell imprinted on the chain is activated.
Silence.
Lightweight.
As it is a product issued exclusively to Hound, its performance is solid. Not even the sound of dragging on the floor can be heard. Kalt walked away, pulling the chain.
‘Is this the last place?’
Kalt took out a magic tool for sealing from his pocket.
Put the altar you just took from the traitor into the magic tool. There are a total of four altars collected so far.
Two were received from former superiors, and two were collected by Kalt. Let’s connect it all together.
There is just one piece left empty.
The one remaining location cannot be found.

Because it was designed that way from the beginning.
Moreover, with just four, Kalt could recognize what kind of symbol it was. Because this was a symbol that could not be forgotten.
‘I’m glad he’s in the royal capital.’
I feel that way again.
If only the gray wizard had not been in the royal capital.
If only I had left all of this unattended.
So, if the altar was completed.
Kalt assumes that situation.
The assumption was not difficult. Any knight who has been on the front line will have experienced this at least once.
That is.
Once completed, it opens in the center of the royal capital.
“·····.”
Kalt gripped the chain a little harder.
“···I guess I should contact you.”
Even if something unexpected happens, response will be possible as long as the Gray Wizard is in the royal capital. Kalt has no doubts about his skills.
However, there is no harm in being prepared.
Kalt took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket.
This is a letter that every knight who worked under the knight commander, Heinkel, has at least one copy of.
square.
Kalt writes with mana.
When you complete a sentence like that, the letters begin to disappear one by one, starting from the first letter. This is a signal that the recipient of the letter has read the text.
Square, square.
I wrote a letter for a while.
After a moment, all the letters disappear as if snow melts.
– Confirmed.
The reply returned on the blank letterhead was concise.
-Let’s send support.
Soon someone’s name comes to mind.
Kalt confirmed the name.
-The warrior, Kyle Torben.
That’s the only name written on the letterhead.
However, there was no feeling of lack.
“I guess that will be enough.”
Kalt muttered like that.
2.
The facilities of the central academic building are well maintained.
The bed linen is always soft and fluffy as if it has been dried in the sun, and since the janitors clean it every morning, there is not much dust to accumulate.
Among those rooms, there is one room that is overly clean. Because the room owner ventilates the room to a pathological degree, not even the slightest smell remains in the room.
A room without a sense of living.
An extremely clean room.
The girl who owns the room looks at the clock.
Tick, tick.
Only the rotating hour hand makes sound.
In a room filled with silence, even the sound can be heard loudly. However, Resty cannot actually hear the sound.
-I will see and judge.
This is because a different voice rings in her ears.
-Is he a wizard suitable for the position or not?
Someone’s voice continues to ring in my ears.
A stern voice echoes in my ears.
‘···I feel strange.’
Something was strange.
Those words were not specifically words of praise to himself. She clearly said she would watch and judge.
Depending on your decision, you may lose everything. If that person decides ‘it doesn’t suit you’…
‘So, if you accept that recommendation.’
Resty imagined what would happen next.
No one will doubt his qualifications. Because unlike him, he probably deserves it.
That person resembles a gray wizard.
The achievements achieved in just one month are enough to prove one’s skills.
If that person puts his mind to it.
It can take away the position of the next magic tower lord, the saint called Eleanoa, and everything that makes up Resty Eleanoa.
therefore.
It was normal for me to feel a sense of crisis when the person said, ‘I will see and judge.’
“But why?”
I wonder if that sounds pleasant.
I couldn’t figure out why.
Only the pleasant heartbeat remains.
No, actually, I had a rough guess.
I’m just a little embarrassed to admit that thought.
“·····.”
Resty looks at the pen placed on the edge of the desk. This was the pen she always carried with her.
-You can do it, right?
The voice of the person picking up the pen that fell on the floor and handing it over to me rings in my ears.
I remember those expectant gazes.
That gaze.
It was something very unfamiliar to Resty.
···Lesti has received the attention of many people over the past three years. After becoming the next Mage Tower lord, numerous people came to visit Lesti.
Each time, Resty showed off his magic.
He showed off the summoning technique he had shown to the elders, and looked at them with an expectant face.
But they looked down at Resty with disappointed eyes. It’s not that Resty’s summoning skills are lacking. It’s not that her magic is ugly.
just.
-It’s not that good compared to him.
-I heard that I was going to follow in his footsteps, so I thought I would have the qualifications to do so…
This is because I was looking for traces of someone else in Resty. No one cared about Resty.
They have arbitrarily high expectations and are arbitrarily disappointed.
Each time, Resty lost his expression little by little.
Little by little, I lost interest in magic.
Because no matter what I did, I was only compared.
“·····.”
No one cared about him.
Everyone has found the gray wizard within themselves. I was so tormented by those gazes that now just looking at those eyes made me feel nauseous.
however.
‘That person.’
That person was different.
-I think I can do this much.
Resty remembers the blue eyes looking at her.
-You can solve it, right?
It was different.
-That’s great.
That person always only looked out for himself.
He did not find the gray wizard in himself. She smiled as if she was intrigued and gave compliments as if she was surprised.
It was unfamiliar.
Because it’s unfamiliar, because it’s unfamiliar and because I miss it.
Before I knew it, I was smiling.
“·····.”
Resty smoothed the corners of his mouth.
The corners of his mouth were relaxed.
···If you think about it, it’s funny.
I have been receiving cold stares for the past three years. She had heard insults spoken against her. You have been told that the position is not yours.
‘But now.’
I can’t believe I got motivated just by hearing one word.
Even if you think about it, it’s strange.
Even that one word is far from encouraging. That’s all I’m saying, that I will judge from now on.
This is not encouragement.
It’s not even a compliment.
This is not an acknowledgment.
I’m just saying I’ll just watch.
“·····.”
however.
“That’s enough.”
For Resty, that was enough.
He has endured the past three years just for the one elder who watches over him.
There was one more person looking at it.
That was enough.
Kuuk.
Resty reached out and grabbed a pen.
Get up from the bed and sit down.
Turn on the magic lights. I look at the research report on my desk. Lightly shake off the dust on the report.
I looked at the clock.
It’s late at night.
I couldn’t sleep.
square.
The sound of the pen tip sliding across the paper drowns out the sound of the clock hands ticking.
Square Square.
The sound continued until the sun rose.
A word from the author (author review)
review.
Sympathetic Wizard is a nickname spread by Sarah and Remia. I was spreading rumors among the knights that it was revenge for the clothes that were torn by Raniel 🙁
