Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

41 – Blizzard Dragon (5)

Wizard Talia.

She bowed deeply to Archduke Lucrezia.

“Grand Duke! I will stop and go back to the Magic Tower.”

At that sound, Archduke Lucrezia, who was in the middle of approving documents, raised her head.

“Are you not going to stay longer?”

“Yes. Now the time for the promotion test has arrived, and I can’t postpone it any longer.”

Talia’s due date has come.

The long-awaited examination for promotion as a high-ranking wizard came right in front of her nose.

I couldn’t put it off any longer.

This northern land was a place she liked quite a bit, but as a high-ranking wizard,

Talia, who was aiming for her promotion, could not miss this opportunity.

The face-to-face encounter with the devil at such a moment was definitely a good opportunity in many ways.

She held on to her shaky inner self and used her magic on a rough battlefield.

For those mages, there was no better training moment than the rough one back then.

Sometimes it is said that many wizards get an opportunity once or twice at a moment when they do not even think of an opportunity for inner ascension, and Talia has reached just such a time.

She is at the crossroads of growth at this moment.

The Grand Duke of Lucrezia.

She said her thanks as she stared at the timid wizard in front of her eyes.

“At that time, thanks to the wizard, she was able to overcome her crisis. Without you, she would have gotten into quite a bit of trouble.”

“No. Because of that, I was able to have my own experience. Facing the devil is an experience that is difficult to face normally.”

In this land, demons are regarded as beings in fairy tales along with the dragons of the beginning.

The chance for ordinary people to face these things was so rare that they would never go away in their lifetime, so thinking about it after surviving now, this acted as an opportunity for Talia.

Perhaps after returning to her mage tower, many of her would ask her about her demon sightings.

No, it must have been.

Even right now, even the owner of the only mage tower on this continent, Archmage Arcana Siran, referred to her sightings.

“I see. I get it.”

After muttering to herself for a while, she slowly nodded her head and added.

“Wizard, we will arrange for a coachman from the north to make your way back easier.”

At that sound, sorceress Talia’s eyes widened slightly.

She bowed her back at once to express her gratitude.

“Wow. Thank you. A guide in the north is trustworthy. After all, it’s completely different from the rumors we heard at the center.”

At that sound, Lucrezia subtly raised her eyebrows.

“Rumors?”

“Yes, the nobles in the center regard the grand duke as a bloodless, iron-blooded aristocrat… Ah.”

At that moment, Talia, the sorceress who was holding her back, hurriedly covered her mouth with her own hand.

She realized her own mistake too late.

Again, this scolding mouth was just right. As expected, it is impossible to do all of this perfectly with the inner discipline accumulated in a short time.

“…”

I looked ahead and saw Archduke Lucrezia silently staring at me.

The gaze is indifferent.

As expected, he must have been angry.

All of a sudden, Thalia’s body began to tremble.

“Sorry, sorry…”

“It’s okay. You already know how the center sees me. Go back carefully.”

Still, her voice was as cold as before.

At first glance, she seemed to be very angry.

Soon after, Archduke Lucrezia added:

“As an added bonus, I will order her maid to serve her bread as well. The last time I saw it, he seemed to like it quite a bit.”

“…!”

A precious specialty of the north.

Talia, the sorceress, opened her eyes wide at the thought of being able to face that specialty again.

“Wow. Thank you very much, Archduke!”

She bowed her back again and again to express her gratitude.

As expected. The owner of the grand duchy is undoubtedly benevolent.

She thought so.

An arcana that appeared with Yone.

He added with a smile on his face.

[Starting today, the guardian dragon will learn lessons with Yone. For example, it would be between seniors and juniors with the same teacher.]

Together? It’s also between seniors and juniors.

He was talking even more incomprehensible.

It was as long as Arcana slowly sensed something strange about her words.

He gave me a strange look as if he was talking nonsense. At this point, even he can’t help but notice something strange.

[Uh, ugh…]

At that sound, Yone grabbed his head and sat down.

She muttered, shaking her head.

[I, seriously, how could someone like me take classes with Guardian Dragon… The Guardian Dragon would get angry.]

Actually, I don’t even get angry.

Out of the blue, what kind of alumni are you? It’s not even the same person.

Rather, I’m in the midst of being ridiculous because I heard a sudden noise.

[Ego. Don’t do that, Miss Yone.]

[Yes?]

But, like that or not, Arcana calmly stroked Yone and added,

[Show me once. Shouldn’t we at least show Miss Yone’s outstanding talent? Enough that even the Guardian Dragon can understand.]

[That’s right…?]

Yone stood up cautiously, and soon turned his gaze to the guardian dragon, Han.

Realizing that he was silently watching her, she held out her hand and focused her attention.

[Fa, Fire.]

Along with her cautious expression, the surrounding mana began to flow and coalesce.

[Key?]

Han’s pupils soon widened a bit.

I didn’t have any doubts such as “No way, probably not.”

He was one of the dragon species that was more sensitive to the flow of magic than anyone else in the world.

Such resentment is sharp enough to read the flow of magical power flowing around you, even before the result is generated.

The flow of this magical power is surprisingly smooth.

As much as the flow of magical power that results in the result of Guardian Dragon Han.

Even when Han creates magical powers, it was carried out in such a smooth flow like water.

Because Han, he.

I already knew whether or not this magical power was going to happen. Undoubtedly, this is said to be ‘truly realized’.

Hwaruk.

The appearance of a small flame that eventually formed in front of their eyes.

Han was absolutely certain.

‘Yone, you really have a talent for magic.’

Now I’m starting to understand.

As for why Arcana chased after her, lighting her fire in her eyes so much.

* * * *

In fact, it is difficult for original magic to stand out in only one direction.

But on the contrary, it was unusually difficult to fall behind only one.

Unlike the attribute power of the four seasons, such as the fire and water wind, magic is purely pure magic in the air, so no matter which magic power is moved, it is said that magic is completed by the spell itself. That’s it

For example, even in the cold winter months, fire-attribute magic can be activated without any problems.

On the contrary, even in summer when the scorching sun shines down, ice-attribute magic containing cold air can be performed without much difficulty.

However, in the case of elemental power, it is a little different.

This is the same natural force as magical power, but it can be said to be magical power that contains only some limited attributes that are inherently divided in nature.

Thanks to this, the ice attribute power containing cold wind can only be realized related to it, and the fire attribute power containing hot heat can only be performed with magic related to fire.

That was the essential basis for creating the limitations and differences between dragons and humans by nature.

Simply put, the human Yone.

Unlike Han, the guardian dragon who was born with the attribute of cold, he could handle fire magic as well as ice magic.

Of course, even the magic of wind and earth.

‘Oh…’

That’s why Han quietly admired it.

No way, she never thought that her talent would be so great.

That’s why it’s great.

This must be an outstanding talent.

But.

‘So what’s the next magic?’

To be staring at you like that?

Within a moment, Yone secretly avoided the gaze of the guardian dragon, Han.

As if he knew what he was thinking while looking at him.

She laughed heartily.

[Magic, it’s a bit difficult. I thought fire was a low-level magic that was only used to light a bonfire, so I thought it was funny, but now that I’ve learned it myself, it takes several days…]

But what Arcana said was even more spectacle.

[Don’t be so mean, Ms. Yone. Is it supposed to take much longer than that? At least it’s because Miss Yone’s talent is so great, what other ordinary criminals learn after months of long training is fire.]

[That, is that enough? But the guardian dragon seems to use magic at any time.]

[That’s right. Because the target of comparison is the dragon, the god of magic.]

Adding that, Arcana turned to the guardian dragon, Han.

[Guardian dragons can use pretty much any kind of magic since they were born, so our human talents are relatively mediocre.]

Yone’s talent was amazing.

However, since the target of comparison is the status of the Balaur, the light seems faded.
