The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

48 – Magic Society

Central Magic Society.

This place, formerly called the Wizard’s Tower, was given a new name to break away from its closed image.

If you look at its external image, it was a future-oriented place with a mixture of innovation and new technology.

‘In reality, this is because the elders of the Wizard’s Tower remain in power.’

The Central Magic Society was more closed and conservative than anywhere else.

‘That’s why most wizards who graduated from the academy gather at the Magic Society.’

Without the prestige of the family or the protection of a professor at least as a sponsor, most of them ended their lives as magicians at the lowest level.

‘That’s why the wizards here often struggle to stay in line.’

If you take that into consideration.

As the ‘youngest son of the Lercier family,’ there was a high possibility that they thought of me as a friend who would never come back again.

I frowned as I saw the crowd of people gathered around me as if they were there to meet a celebrity and trying to say a word.

I don’t know if it’s because their intentions are too blatant, or if it’s just because they don’t like the idea of so many people gathering.

I went through them thinking that I didn’t really like whatever it was.

I arrived at the accommodation arranged by the academy.

Delia’s face, drooping like a towel that has been washed only once, comes into view.

I couldn’t hide my laughter because, just like me, he seemed to have suffered quite a bit from the Magic Society’s wizards.

‘I’m quite happy to think that I’m not the only one who suffered.’

I sat down on the sofa in the lobby, thinking that pain can be alleviated only when shared.

Delia speaks to me in a dying voice.

“Obviously… “I don’t think it felt like this when I came here as a child, so why did it become like this?”

When I was young, my family’s bodyguards would have stopped people approaching like that, so I guess I didn’t see them.

I was thinking about telling the truth, but it got tiresome so I just kept my mouth shut, but Rumi came up from behind me and started talking.

“Here… ! “I think it’s a lot of fun.”

Unlike Delia and I, Rumi seemed to find this scene quite amusing.

I was looking at Rumi, who was looking around here and there, laughing, and she was sighing.

Delia looked at Rumi, shook her head, and spoke.

“Because you just watched us suffer… “It was fun.”

“Well, I tried to help too! “It’s because I was pushed out.”

“Okay… “I guess so.”

Rumi looked at her as if she had nothing else to say, and she smiled.

I watched the two in silence for a while, then spoke slowly, intending to mediate.

“So what’s the next plan?”

At those words, Rumi took out the magic book from her arms and recited the part about her schedule.

“It says free time. “They say you can go wherever you want and do what you want.”

It seems that the method is to work freely and then write a report and submit it.

After confirming that it had not changed much from the original novel, I talked to Rumi and Delia.

“Then let’s go upstairs.”

The report is also reflected in the score.

In order to get a perfect score, it would be better to have an unusual or rewarding experience rather than a general experience.

I said that while thinking that, and Delia looked at me with an embarrassed expression.

“Huh? Let’s go up? How?”

I said that as if it was obvious.

“It’s not difficult if you mention the family.”

Ignoring Delia’s expression of still not understanding, I took them with me and headed to the very center of the Magic Association.

*

The Central Magic Society is largely divided into four floors.

In addition to the general shopping area, the first floor was a place where wizards who were not officially recognized by the Magic Society gathered.

The second floor was a place where only officially recognized wizards could go up.

From the 3rd floor onwards, only high-ranking wizards officially recognized by the Magic Society could ascend.

‘The last fourth floor was where the head of the Magic Society and the major elders of each society lived.’

If you put your mind to it, it would be possible to go up to the 4th floor.

There was nothing to do if I went up to the 4th floor, so I could just look around on the 3rd floor.

After making that decision, I walked towards a place called the Central Staircase, a huge transport device located in the very center of the Magic Academy.

“…… “

Usually, your ID card is checked along with questions to verify your identity.

In my case, as if there was no need for that, I immediately moved out of the way and gestured that I could go inside.

‘It looks like the butler probably worked on it in advance.’

It looks like he read my behavior patterns and wrote down a number in advance.

I definitely thought the butler was competent, and I spoke while gesturing to the two people standing around behind me.

“Please come quickly.”

At those words, Rumi and Delia noticed the gatekeeper and hurriedly followed me.

I looked at the two of them and thought that even if Rumi was like that, I didn’t know why Delia was so obnoxious, and she entered the central staircase.

Weeeing.

Machine sounds that do not match the magical atmosphere.

If you just hear this, you might think something mechanical is working.

In reality, it was not a complex technique involved, but a huge amount of mana was used to raise and lower it.

‘I said that the reason it was made so inefficient was because of classization.’

Making a strong distinction between recognized wizards and unrecognized wizards.

I have seen in novels that it is a show-off device to make it seem like those recognized by the Magic Society are higher-ranking human beings.

I was thinking about that while looking at the first floor.

“… Ha, I’m flying in the sky!”

Next to me, Rumi is startled and shouts something at me.

I’m so ashamed of Rumi that I’m deliberately averting her gaze and pretending not to notice her.

This time, Delia, who was next to me, looked down the window and spoke to me.

“Derndern. “Have you been here often?”

I could not easily answer such a question.

This is because ‘Dern’s’ private life was not specifically written in the novel.

‘Seeing as the butler was so flexible, it seems like he came here often.’

I don’t think I would necessarily visit a place that focuses on academics rather than entertainment due to my nature, so I am worried in many ways.

Because of those thoughts, I did not reply any differently and just looked at Delia in silence.

Delia smiles awkwardly and talks to me.

“This is my first time here since I came here once when I was young.”

She nodded because she knew about this because she told me about it earlier.

She spoke blankly, looking at the lights twinkling below.

“When I was young, my body was surprisingly weak. So I’ve only read things about the Magic Society in books.”

I had no idea that he was healthy now and that he was showing such a cheerful personality that it could be described as running wild.

I silently nodded at Delia’s words and looked at her face.

Delia talks to me with an awkward smile.

“So, ever since I was young, I’ve been thinking about what kind of place the Magical Society would be. “It feels strange to see it like this.”

“I see.”

Delia scratched her cheek awkwardly at my words and then spoke to me with a ‘hmm’ hum.

“Oh and… “This is a different story, though.”

I wondered what she was going to say, so she responded by nodding her head lightly.

Delia looks intently into my eyes and continues her words slowly.

“From childhood… “Is there something I’ve been dreaming about while reading books related to the Magic Society?”

“What is it?”

When I asked, Delia said it was no big deal.

“It was my dream to come to the Magic Society with someone I like.”

Let’s not say anything to those words and just stay quiet.

Delia smiled mischievously and she slowly approached me, and she whispered to me in a low voice.

“But you achieved that dream earlier?”

“…… “

I looked at Delia again at that somewhat embarrassing word.

Delia laughs awkwardly with her ears turning red, and then she talks while poking my side.

“Ahahahaha. It’s a joke.”

I knew there was no way I could say something like this as a joke, so I tried to say something.

‘Until I decide clearly what to do, as I had thought about before.’

It was difficult for her to answer, so she closed her mouth again.

Delia acts as if nothing has happened to me and talks to me.

“It’s just a joke, so why take it so seriously? Still… “It’s nice to be here with you.”

“… “Then you are lucky.”

“Yes. “I would have been lonely if I had come alone.”

With those words, Delia seems to be unable to bear her awkwardness and laughs so hard that she tries to somehow ease the current situation.

I look at Delia like that and pretend not to know her.

Rumi, who was behind her, spoke in a somewhat subdued voice.

“… “What are you two doing?”

Would I be mistaken if I thought I felt alive for a moment?

For an instant, I noticed that the flow of mana was severely broken and thought that this would not be easy to overcome.
