    by Glyph (글비) — A few minutes later, I proudly placed the heavy money pouch onto the counter.It was packed full of gold pieces I had just taken out of the Dunhell Jewelry Store's safe and merely reshaped.When the clerk opened the pouch, his eyes began to sparkle like jewels."How is it? Will this be enough?"Without even knowing it was originally their own gold, the clerk excitedly began to weigh it."It is more than enough—there will even be some left over! However, if you pay in gold, there will be a…

    by Glyph (글비) — It was a display case tucked away in the corner.Stepping closer, I saw colorful rough stones piled high inside the clear glass shelf.Among them, the one that caught and held my eye was a blue rough stone giving off a strange energy... no, a spirit stone.It looked transparent, yet deep inside, it held fragments of dark and pale blue light.Staring at a spirit stone always left my mind somewhat blank, as if I were being bewitched.On the shelf with the spirit stone hung a small sign reading, "Sale!…

    by Glyph (글비) — As I lay on the bedsheet, which smelled richly of sunshine as though it had just been dried, my motion sickness seemed to fade.I drifted off into a quick nap.Just as I thought, my true calling lay in doing nothing at all and simply rolling around in bed."Mmm...?"While I was diligently discovering my calling, Lai shook my body vigorously.For a mere snake, he was unnecessarily strong, often lifting me up and setting me down with the tip of his tail."What is it, you brat? How insolent of you…

    by Glyph (글비) — When I gave a lukewarm reaction, Bright shouted as if flustered."Kenyan, I said Kenyan! You don't know Kenyan?"I don't. What is that? A family that makes chocolate? Iruze is enough for that. When I remained completely uninterested, Iruze, who was beside me, quickly whispered in my ear."Jinny, Kenyan is the only Mage family in our country! The one that received a title through a Mage lineage.""Ah.""Do you remember now?""I think it was on the exam. That…

    by Glyph (글비) — Reflected inside the transparent orb was Marquis Lyle, who served as the headmaster of Drike Academy.He was one of Dmitri's foremost intellectuals, the king's former teacher, and a man of immense power all at once.Stroking his beard, he continued in a leisurely voice."Not at all!""...I apologize for causing you concern with my hasty judgment."The knight captain bowed his head deeply toward the communication orb."Th... Thank you very much!""...I-is that…

    by Glyph (글비) — Humans could neither speak nor breathe underwater. That was basic common sense.Un-Water Breathing was a slight variation of Water Breathing, the spell that allowed one to breathe underwater, simply changing its purpose from enabling breathing to preventing it.Call it the opposite version. Since it only required manipulating water, it consumed far less mana as well.Leo flailed wildly at the mass of water encasing his face.However, doing so wouldn't shake the water off, and it only left him more out of…

    by Glyph (글비) — "Because a person's heart sways like a reed. And thinking about it, that guy is so obnoxious that I don't want to yield to him."I saw Leo flare up in anger as I pointed straight at him.Perhaps because he thought all the adults around him were on his side, he was acting even more high and mighty than yesterday."Did your mind change in a single day?! You coward!""No? I said from the start that I didn't want to duel.""Just admit it already! You have no…
  • Chapter 48 Cover
    by Glyph (글비) — Something white and tattered hit me square in the face.It hurt quite a bit, and above all, it was thoroughly unpleasant.What fell to the floor with a soft thud was a white training glove. No matter how I looked at it, this development was clearly that.Especially since the one who threw the glove was Leo."I challenge you to a duel!"He looks like he has some good color in his face today."Let's compete fair and square for the spot on the team!""Hey, brat. Only knights do this…

    by Glyph (글비) — Even if I wasn't close with anyone in the delegation, all their faces were familiar, so who was that kid?Anyway, there isn't much meat left.My interest clearly tilted toward the meat."That's true, Leo, but...""This is all because of that wench!"The boy with lemon-colored hair, who had been called Leo, huffed and puffed as he charged at me in long strides, but regardless of what he was doing, I was busy feeling disappointed that there wasn't much food left.This is why…

    by Glyph (글비) — "There seems to be a mistake. We are the Drike Academy delegation from Dmitri.""We're on our way to attend the Winkan Festival in Elan. Perhaps you're mistaking us for another group?""There's no mistake! You are definitely the ones we've been waiting for.""Yes, she talked every single day about how her party would come. That fiend wearing an angel's mask... Ahem.""She was right here a moment ago. Where did she go in the…
