Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Episode 83＞

Ruin and his party strategically attended classes and filled up their missing credits steadily.

Of course, even in the midst of that, the cadets fiercely digested Ruin’s physical training schedule.

The shock of the great magic battle shown by Ruin.

The events of that time, as if experiencing the legend of War Mage, are scenes that the cadets will never forget.

However, after 15 days of such intense training, they began to have doubts.

It seemed that his strength was getting stronger and his breathing gradually became easier, but he had a fundamental question about what this running had to do with War Mage’s ability.

The taijutsu they knew was not like running.

More organized movements and exquisite movements, etc.

The cadets, who expected something concrete, began to feel uneasy.

“Huh! Huh! Ruin! Stop there!”

Ruin, who had stopped running, glanced at Shiron, who was struggling to breathe.

“If you can’t stand it, you can stop.”

“Oh, not that!”

The expression of Shiron, who was sitting on the floor, became strange.

“What does this running have to do with the War Mage training method?”

“hahahaha… … mandible… … I was curious about that too.”

Ruin’s indifferent eyes staring at Chiron and Daphne alternately.

Ruin immediately drew a simple coordinated action in his mind.

“Look at me.”

Papapat!

A sharp regime, and two subsequent hooks.

A heavy advance that digs into the ground after stepping back as if it were going to fall to the ground.

thud!

Upper that rolls wider than stride and soars.

Shook!

A torso headbutt that violently shakes the shoulders and collides.

After advancing with fierce footwork, a power blow so powerful that you can hear the sound of the wind.

Pak!

Lastly, up to the guarding, where you cross your arms while standing straight.

So, Ruin showed the cadets a simple link as slowly as possible.

“after… … .”

Ruin, who exhaled deeply, stared at Shiron.

“Did you remember everything?”

“Well, about that much.”

Chiron nodded confidently.

“Then do it. However, all of that can be done in one breath.”

“what? One breath?”

Shiron’s face is distorted as if it’s embarrassing.

It was obviously monotonous, but it was a series of fairly large movements.

It seemed a bit difficult to connect such large movements with apnea.

“I get it.”

Shush!

just as expected.

After finishing the torso headbutting and leading to the footwork, Chiron let out the breath he had been holding back.

“Puha!”

Shiron’s eyes shake as if he was embarrassed.

But he seemed unable to understand.

“Whoa… … Why do I have to move with just one breath?”

Ruin replied as if the theory of asking such a question was rather strange.

“Are you not a wizard?”

“huh? What do you mean by all of a sudden?”

Daphne, who was watching, was the first to read Ruin’s intentions.

“ah! I can see why you have to control all the movements in one breath!”

“What?”

Daphne looked at Chiron and smiled brightly.

“If you can’t control your breathing, one of the magicians’ most important weapons, the spirit of speech, will be blocked, right?”

“what?”

Luin nodded.

“We are not ordinary fighters or knights. They can freely control their breathing, but wizards must be able to use their magic even in battle.”

“… … .”

Shiron hardening his face seriously.

Indeed, if you can’t control your breathing, you won’t be able to exert the spirit of speech, and this meant that all spells that require the spirit of speech must be replaced with telekinesis.

A wizard’s telekinesis is not an infinite resource.

Rather, telekinetic power is depleted faster than mana.

Excessive consumption of telekinesis increases the risk of mental breakdown or mental runaway.

“The most important thing for War Mage is lung capacity. If you’re not going to battle with your commandments sealed, you have to have lung capacity that overwhelms knights.”

Word spirit is the most basic and intuitive weapon for wizards.

Folding such a powerful weapon and going into battle could rather result in the wizard’s strengths being offset.

“That is why I run non-stop.”

Even Ruin, who possesses that terrifying telekinesis, was running like this every day to display his spirit.

Even after running dozens of laps, the guy’s breathing is not disturbed.

Shiron once again admired Ruin’s terrifying spirit.

It was pure awe, not as a wizard, but as a human being.

“You really… … It’s just crazy.”

This light running had such a huge meaning.

I really couldn’t have imagined it.

As if he was intimidated by Shiron’s reaction, Severon slumped and mocked himself.

“under… … So, how long do we have to run?”

Ruin made a face that seemed absurd.

“Of course it is a lifetime. Lung capacity decreases with human lifespan. It is bound to diminish as the years go by. It is a practice that must be continued if circumstances permit, or even if time is split.”

“ah… … .”

“ha… … .”

The cadets felt that Ruin’s callous voice sounded like an echo from hell.

To do this hard run for the rest of your life.

Shiron felt as if his lungs were about to burst at that distant feeling.

“For now, let’s stop here for today. I have other things to do in the evening.”

After a moment of relief that the training was finally over, the cadets became more nervous when Ruin said that they had something to do.

“What tricks are you doing again?”

“Adrena has been there.”

“huh? Adrena?”

Shiron, lost in thought for a moment, immediately remembered the red-haired female student who followed Ruin.

“Why is that kid? Did you confess again?”

Ruin that narrows the gap between the eyebrows.

“Professor Gary Eldos has requested an interview.”

Professor Gary Eldos is one of the few professors with a friendly attitude towards the voice group.

“Professor? Why all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know. After everyone finishes eating and personal grooming, do imagery practice. For now, I will go.”

“I get it.”

* * *

smart.

“This is Ruin.”

– Come in.

When Ruin opened the door to Professor Gary Eldos’s lab, an unexpected person was waiting for him.

‘Egios?’

The wise man Egios, who was drinking tea while brushing his long white beard, found Ruin and put down his teacup.

As Louin entered the lab, Professor Gary Eldos stood up.

“Then I’ll go out to prepare for class, Master of the Tower.”

“You will suffer.”

rattle-

As Professor Gary Eldos left, Egios winked at Ruin.

“Sit down. Cadet Ruin.”

Ruin, who had been standing with indifferent eyes, settled down opposite Egios.

The magic tower master is not a very relaxed place in terms of time.

If you come here in person, there must be a special reason for it.

“What are you doing?”

“So, how is your undergraduate life? Is it worth it?”

“I understand that you are already receiving reports without omission.”

Ruin knew very well that Professor Gary Eldos’ blatant interference and Adrena’s persistent observation were all due to this wise man, Egios.

I can’t help but be angry because I’ve been monitoring it so thoroughly until now and I’m looking at nothing like that.

“Receiving a report in writing and hearing the person’s story in person will obviously be different. You know that much, don’t you?”

I felt it even in my family, but Egios had a strange talent for scratching people’s emotions.

Rather than a wise man, he feels more like a strategist or an aristocrat who has gone through a mountain battle.

There was nothing good to be said by mixing the words at length, so Ruin spoke directly.

“I am doing well. If you have any business, please tell me openly.”

“Open up. It’s good.”

Aegios took another sip of the tea. However, his hands were shaking too much. He frowned, hid his hands, and spoke in his characteristic calm manner.

“I’m just telling you in advance, I’m not trying to catch you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It means that I have no intention of restraining you with school rules or using that as an excuse to make unreasonable demands. So please answer honestly.”

Egios, who struggled to put down the teacup, sharpened his eyes.

“Did your magic ever work in Hall 16 of the Royal Battlefield?”

Perhaps not knowing that Egios would hear about it, Ruin almost showed signs of embarrassment for a moment.

But the tone was strange.

I’m not asking about having a great magic battle with the cadets, have you ever used your own magic?

This is to say that he was certain to a certain extent, but it was embarrassing enough for Ruin, who had clearly erased all the traces of alcohol.

From nob le mt l. co m

For once, Ruin denied it.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“The senior sorcerer’s meticulous investigation has already ended. The traces of the great magic battle have disappeared, but the traces of the large-scale dispel magic sweeping away still remain.”

“… … .”

When Ruin only glared at his cold eyes and didn’t answer, Egios showed even more impatience.

“It is a matter directly related to the fate of our kingdom. Can’t you give me an honest answer?”

Kingdom?

Linking the cadets’ great magic battle with events in the kingdom?

Ruin could not readily understand Egios’ intentions.

“I have a hard time understanding what you are talking about.”

“Whoa… … .”

Egios let out a long sigh, and his eyes shone even deeper.

“Cadet Ruin.”

“Tell me.”

“This sage, Egios, has been experimenting with other arenas. I mean, I spread magic over such a vast area and covered the entire area with my own dispel magic.”

Then Egios held out his hand.

“The result is this.”

rattle.

Aegios’ hand trembled with difficulty.

“It’s delirium following mana burn. It means that this mage lord has exhausted all of his magic and telekinesis.”

However, Ruin’s eyes are still transparent like water. Like a person with no feelings.

“Is your magical power really deeper and broader than that of this Egios?”

“… … .”

“Please answer me.”

-Cluck. this wise man It’s much hotter than it was back then.

Gyrobel laughed heartily.

Trying to understand Ruin’s magical power with human common sense is difficult.

Ruin’s convergence magic, which had already begun to approach, or even exceed, reached the point where it was meaningless to classify it as a circle.

The difference between the efficiency and purity of magic, and its absolute power, had widened too much.

Since all of that was the result of Ruin’s achievement with his own nuclear ode, Gyrobel was intoxicated with a sense of superiority.

“I ask you if the wise man suffered such a blow. Do you think it’s normal to ask me such a thing now?”

Ruin was treating him as a strange person, but rather Egios was smiling faintly.

“I’m going to miss you, but I’m called a wise man in this kingdom.”

Egios’s smile grew thicker.

“Don’t ignore the eyes of this sage who looked directly at your mana circle, Cadet Ruin.”

Ruin was silent for a long time with calm eyes.

He immediately smiled mischievously.

“You’re a quick-witted person.”

Since they were talking about the fate of the kingdom, it meant that they were coveted if they were sure of their abilities.

If you want to share the power of this dark horror, not pure magical curiosity, you have no choice but to end up with a political problem.

“If you want to attribute another power to the kingdom, not the knight power of the Heibern family, the person standing in front of you is not a cadet, but a grand duke. I would recommend being polite.”
