Jjak, jjakjjak-.
From afar, Hynax and his fellow Sages of the Sage Council applauded.
Youve made remarkable progress, Sir Theo. With so much talent while being so young, your growth is limitless!
Receiving the towel Hynax handed over, I wiped away the sweat on my forehead after demonstrating several spells. Through the cloth, I could see the bright smiles of the old mages.
This is great. At this rate, youll be the best mage among us.
We now have more researchers exploring the truth.
Half-Fairies have a long lifespan, so someday, youll surely derive meaningful results!
The old mages seemed to think that I would be an explorer for a new era.
What was the truth? Where was the door to it, and how could one reach it? They wanted me to uncover its secrets.
But I had no desire approaching that amalgamation.
They didnt seem to know because they could only see a blurry figure, but what I saw wasnt something I wanted to get close to.
I wish you good luck in tomorrows duel, Sir Theo. I am a little worried, but its worth a shot with your skills. Besides, duels can deepen your mastery of magic.
Thank you.
And please, tell Kasim-kun to attend the mage conference, including your Queen.
Understood.
Bidding farewell to the venerable mages, I headed towards the street.
Although I sought answers from the Sages, all I got were more questions.
Meanwhile, someone caught my eye.
What great progress. Y-youre indeed Theo-nim. The magic in your body is different.
A woman wearing a purple dress and high heels praised me with a stuttering voice. It was none other than Professor Balan, with her rich blue hair cascading down.
She was watching my demonstration in the training ground. It seemed that she was waiting for me to finish.
Whats the matter?
Well, th-theres quite a few eyes and ears here.
Is there something youd like as a reward?
A reward?
Yes. There should be compensation for your efforts. I believe in the principle of give and take.
Reward. To be in the service of Theo-nim is already a reward in itself. The opportunity to serve once more in the lineage of Angmar, which was thought to have been completely extinguished. Thank you-.
A lengthy oath of allegiance followed. Did she think I was testing her loyalty?
So, you dont desire anything? Ill ask one last time. If theres anything I can offer, Im willing to reward you.
Just to be sure, I asked one final time.
Th-then.
Professor Balan hesitated for a bit, before cautiously speaking out.
Then one imp.
Imp?
Imps have traditionally been helpful companions of demons, perfect for running errands. With an imp, the work efficiency will be better.
Um-.
I-I apologize! Ive asked for something unreasonable-
Professor Balan jumped up in fright, trembling noticeably.
Reflecting on it now, she seemed to fear and revere me more than necessary, likely due to the formidable and terrifying presence of my predecessor, Solomon.
I shook my head.
If you want an imp helper, I know some, so Ill send one your way. Though, you must keep many things confidential.
Purpur or Tartar should suffice.
Th-thank you, Theo-nim. Ill strive harder for your kindness!
I said to the bowing Balan.
Lets do our best in our respective positions.
The sun was setting over my head.
Tomorrow, I would have the chance to demonstrate the efforts I had put in so far before everyone.
