Talent-Swallowing Magician Chapter 58

Episode 58

Demon King Hyul(獝)

Quang!

The walls of the reception room exploded with a huge explosion.

Elric hurriedly ran outside, and Hayes followed closely behind, holding a sledgehammer.

Unlike Elric, who was completely frightened as if he had encountered a wild beast, Hayes was still smiling brightly.

“My little brother, you’ve become famous and you’ve become quite strong, right? Now I know how to use magic. So you rebel?”

Hayes gave special force to the word ‘rebellion’ and struck the hammer down forcefully.

‘Right, right!’

Elric hurriedly turned his body to the side in response to the noisy cry.

Maybe it was because he had fully mastered the art of strong body and magic fighting, but his movements were fast enough to be on par with most knights.

bang!

The hammer fell narrowly into the spot where he was.

Then, the marble-carved floor sank and the fragments bounced upward.

It’s so powerful that even a simple brush will result in a goal.

‘Woah, if I stay here, I’m really going to die!’

Elric thought it would be better to just run away while thinking, so he quickly tried to memorize the words.

but.

Whoosh!

“To run away?”

“… !”

Elric threw away the hammer before he knew it and let out a silent scream when he saw Hayes approaching him in the blink of an eye.

“I’m sorry, but I have a long way to go before I can become independent from this older sister.”

Hayes threw a left fist.

Puff poop!

The hastily installed shield was all shattered like a piece of corn.

puck!

A fist landed in Elric’s face.

* * *

Elric, like a panda, rubbed the corner of one of his blue bruised eyes with an egg and glanced to the side.

Hayes said, elegantly lowering the cup of tea he was drinking onto a plate.

“Elric.”

“Uh, huh?”

“It is not a good attitude to be a pro-conspirator and look at what others think. “You have to make other people look up to you and pay attention to you.”

“… .”

For a moment, Elric had to suppress the urge to shout, ‘It’s all because of my sister!’

I’ve felt this for a long time, but my sister always gives me lessons from strange places.

Well, it’s a thankful piece of advice to never give in to your pride, even if the odds are against you… In fact, I felt frustrated because I was approached by him as an object of fear.

Of course, Sean, who was listening to the conversation between the two siblings next to him, was just shocked.

‘Elric’s merciless personality… It must have come from here.’

If you receive that kind of teaching every day, it would be natural for your personality to become distorted(?) like that.

“We will somehow compensate for the damage caused by us. “I’m sorry for continuing to inconvenience you.”

When Hayes apologized in a polite tone, Sean waved his hand.

“Oh, no. I told my father about my sister’s situation separately, so it’s okay. And you can claim any damages you have suffered from Elric.”

At one point, Elric said, ‘Hey! I could feel Sean glaring at me with a face that said, ‘Why should I pay for that?’, but Sean didn’t even bother to look in that direction.

No matter what he said, it was Hayes who was leading the mood here.

“Thank you for understanding. And I’m sorry. “Do you have a lot of trouble because of our Elrics every time?”

“It’s not just a day or two. it’s okay.”

“I will repay you somehow later.”

“Just holding Elric’s reins is enough.”

“You don’t know how much strength I feel because you are there. As you know, Elric is very immature. “I’ll take good care of you in the future.”

“I have to understand. “I think you must be very worried about your little brother who is like a colt.”

“Even so, I’ve been feeling a bit bloated these days. “My skin has become a lot rougher.”

“this! “Anyway, that guy is the problem.”

“… “Is it okay to say things like that in front of you?”

Elric looked at him with a puzzled expression, but the conversation between Hayes and Sean continued.

“Sister Heise, since you’ve come all the way here, how about taking some tonic?”

“Healthy medicine?”

“yes. At that time, there was a person among the elders who was skilled in medicinal herbs. Because he cares for me a lot… “If you ask me separately, I will gladly give it to you.”

“oh. “Then can I ask you a favor?”

『No matter how I look at you, you seem like a cold meal here?』

Mephisto was giggling and scoffing next to Elric.

on the other side.

Augustine was looking at the Elric siblings with interest.

‘A genius magician from a famous magic clan and the daughter of a martial arts faction. Aside from how he came to possess a weapon instead of magic, if there is someone with that level of skill, it won’t be a problem for Mervinger to soar in the future, right? Hehe! He is truly a student who is fun to watch.’

Hayes asked, looking back at Elric.

“Elric.”

“Yes?”

“What are you going to do now?”

Elric could read Hayes’s will to take him home through his gentle tone.

‘As expected, he came to pick me up.’

As a sister, I couldn’t help but be worried because groundless rumors kept going around about my brother being dead or alive, and the newspapers kept showing his face in various incidents.

So, you probably want to keep Elric away from such danger as much as possible.

‘You have to speak well. ‘My sister is definitely not someone who can be persuaded hastily.’

Even if Elric said he would complete the remaining courses at the academy, it was clear that he would immediately kick him in the back and drag him away.

So Elric felt that he should at least share his secret with Hayes.

‘Otherwise, I’m sure I’ll be opposed to many future plans.’

Elric pursed his lips as he hardened his thoughts.

It was an electric sound.

[I found the family arrangement.]

For a moment, Hayes was slightly surprised when Elric’s voice rang in her ears, but soon her expression hardened and she stared at Elric.

It means to speak in detail.

From then on, Elric started talking about what he had experienced.

Everything, from what I experienced in the dragon’s nest to now.

There was no need to hide the whole truth, even from my only blood relative. Moreover, there was a need to change her hardened heart.

However, he did not mention that Mephisto was wandering next to him.

Because I didn’t want to worry about that.

‘I don’t really want to say that I’m seeking learning from him.’

From the time he was born, Mervinger was instilled with negative values ​​about outsiders through early education.

Although Hayes said he quit magic as soon as he had no talent for it, he still didn’t want to be nagged by the negative perception.

When the whole story ended like that.

Hayes’s resolute pupils were trembling slightly.

[I’m going to the north. There is an arrangement left behind by our ancestors.]

“… .”

Hayes pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something.

Elric did not listen and continued what he was saying.

[Of course, it could be dangerous. No, it would be dangerous. They say our ancestors were a bit temperamental. I wonder what will be gained if the descendants conveniently spoon-feed it to their descendants… Ugh!]

“… .”

[But I’m still going. Because that’s the only way to rebuild the family. You know too, right? How much I have wanted that.]

Hayes’ lips were tightly pressed.

[Look at what we are doing now. How can we say that we are the heirs of the magic clan, the heroic spirit and daughter of the dukedom, and the blood relatives left behind by the star mage?]

“… .”

[I’m going to turn it all upside down. Just like my grandfather did, my family will shine like a star again. So please take a look, okay?]

Hayes had so many words in his heart that he wanted to get them out several times, but in the end he couldn’t get anything out.

Instead, it just made me sad.

My younger brother is running around so hard, but I feel like I can’t be of any help.

-Hayes, you… !

She remembered what her late father once said while holding her hand tightly.

It’s been so long now, and Elric was a child, less than five years old, that he doesn’t even remember.

The words she heard then remained deep in her heart like a stigma to this day.

‘If you don’t want to hold on to your ankles… I guess I should at least cheer them on.’

at last.

Hayes had to sigh.

Elric could tell that was his sister’s answer.

* * *

“Then please take care of me.”

“Ho Ho! That’s what I have to say. Leave this to us and enjoy your trip. “If it is for the purpose of academic research, attendance will be recognized at the academy, so don’t worry.”

The whole time she was seeing Elric off as he was about to leave, Tasha’s mood was sky-high.

‘With this, I can finally obtain the Dragon’s Remembrance Book!’

Elric had recently signed a contract with the ‘Phoenix Wing’ led by her as a cooperative organization.

Tasha’s suggestion was very good, and I thought I could receive a lot of help in my future activities.

No, regardless of anything else, he had absolutely no reason to refuse since he was earmarking the largest amount of funding for research.

And Tasha, in her own way, was happy that she could finally get close to the dragon’s nest.

In fact, the rumor that the ‘Dragon’s Remembrance Book’ was found in the nest did not turn out to be true.

She was already excited as if she had it in her hands.

‘Furthermore, Elric Mervinger said he was going straight to the north without even watching the nest being excavated. Just from that alone, it’s clear that they caught a very large number.’

Tasha was curious about what was in the north, but she didn’t bother to ask.

Not only did I know that Elric wouldn’t answer, but it was better to save the fun stuff and open it later with a nervous heart.

Elric talked with Tasha some more and then got into the waiting carriage.

Then I frowned.

‘I wanted to go alone as quietly as possible… .’

“Why don’t you make that face? “I don’t want to mess around with you either, right?”

Sean, who made eye contact first, grumbled in frustration.

He, too, had decided to accompany this trip north.

I had been really hurt by Elric due to the presidential election incident, so I didn’t want to get caught up in him as much as possible this time.

-Go.

Under the orders of his father, Guy Neresta, the head of the family, that resolve was eventually shattered.

The reason was very simple.

Not only must the treaty concluded between Mervinger and Neresta be carried out, but also the senators who have come forward to follow their disciples must listen to them?

“haha! I wonder if this is the first outing we’ve had in a while. Even so, I’ve been feeling stuffy lately, but I’m sure my stomach will ease after taking in the cold air of the snowy field. “I’m sure I’ll be very healthy thanks to the disciples I gained last year.”

Augustine laughed as if it was fun, and Hayes, who was sitting across from him, offered him a seat next to him, telling him to come in and sit down.

After much deliberation, Hayes said he could not continue to expose his younger brother to danger alone, so he accompanied him as an escort.

As Elric, who wanted to send his sister back to his hometown, he naturally became depressed at the thought of the nagging Great Demon King nagging by his side the entire time he was moving.

In addition, Giliti, who had already brought a tiger the size of a house, and stood next to the carriage, and Carol, who claimed to be the coachman.

Including Elric, there were already 6 party members.

‘no. Seven…? .’

『It must be unnecessarily noisy. I just hate being crazy.』

On one side, even Mephisto was grumbling as if it was annoying.

I guess.

It seemed wrong to quietly go to the Temple of Flowers in the north.

“Then we will leave now. “Hey!”

The journey north began with Carol’s powerful shout.

Wizard who swallowed talent
