I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

35 – Mage Millia (1)

Wizard Millia (1)

Wizards are the ones who best understand the logic of this world.

They sense mana and move its flow to interfere with the world.

It was possible depending on talent and training, but…….

“This world is overlapping.”

From the moment Milia was born, she could see it all flowing.

I feel sorry for Jill, who dares to evaluate him as a talent.

From the moment she was born, Millia was different from other people because she could see both the world full of mana flow and the original world at the same time.

And being different…….

“Ooh! You witch!”

It was a law calling for discrimination.

Milia, who was unloved by her parents and considered an objectionable existence by her peers, first learned how to fend for herself.

Yeah, she’s learned to be numb to it all.

Milia, who had taken a step away from people, came closer to the world filled with the flow of mana.

What others call magic.

A ability that has been accumulated, analyzed, and implemented over tens or hundreds of centuries.

An ability to interfere with the world by twisting and connecting currents.

“This makes it shiny.”

Yes, Millia was able to implement magic instinctively.

Only when it is possible to touch the flow, the wizard does his part.

And Milia was already a wizard from the moment she was born.

A child born as a wizard, not a human. Child who is discriminated against.

It didn’t take long for rumors of such a child to reach the Mage Tower.

“Those who despise and criticize you are all ignorant.”

“You are more special than anyone else and show beyond human beings.”

“You are the symbol of evolution.”

“Therefore, there is no need to listen to or adapt to the voices of criminals.”

The owners of the seven magic towers on the continent. They were the ones who reached the limits of magic and lived in a semi-other world.

That’s why the perspective was different.

It was a being looking at a world similar to Millia.

So she didn’t mind the dysentery that Milia had at her young age.

From their point of view, Milia was only superior to others.

But it wasn’t. Even though she looked like them, Millia was different from them in a crucial part.

“What should I do with them?”

The moment Milia was sold by her parents for just a few gold coins.

The magic tower owners wanted to punish them. Even so, they did not know that they would sell their children.

They are ignorant and oblivious people who do not recognize treasure, and foolish people who do not love their children.

Yes, in a sense they could be said to be complete beings.

Their confidence is accompanied by appropriate knowledge and insight.

“How?”

“Don’t you hate it?”

“Yes.”

“Are you disappointed?”

“I’m not even sad.”

“Do you pity them? Or do you miss it?”

“Should I be thinking about something?”

“I see.”

But it wasn’t Milia.

Apart from having outstanding qualities, Millia did not voluntarily seek to know about this world.

Seeing the girl who had closed her heart like that, the tower owners sighed.

It wasn’t that they had a human side.

It was because I knew that emotions alone could be a driving force.

“You’d better do as much as you can first.”

And they concluded that the situation was ‘withheld’.

Unless it is a moment in which the driving force of emotion is needed, we cannot just rot away the talent of a girl who already has natural talent.

And so.

Ten years have passed.

“Did you understand everything?”

“Yes.”

“Then, this is next.”

Essences of magic created by each and every lord of the tower, the tower they rule over their lifetime, building up history.

Milia was absorbing all that knowledge like a sponge.

“This is magic that can be handled at your level right now. Memorize it within three days.”

“Yes.”

She remains emotionless, just like when she first won the Magic Tower.

She was just living her life immersed in magic, except for the bare minimum of food, clothing and shelter every day.

If it’s because I like magic, that’s not the case either. She just did it because she was told to do it.

A puppet with little self-assertion and who doesn’t question any orders from her teachers.

That was Millia.

“Okay, if you poke that way… ….”

Flinch!

“hahahaha! You can observe it stiffening like this! The human body, like the universe, has many mysteries.”

She lost her morality, she lost her sociability, she lost her humanity.

Even if she is a human being like her, if she has the name of her teacher, it is just a test subject.

That’s probably why.

“Mom?”

As usual, when she was experimenting on her humans.

She realized that her face on that corpse was familiar.

Did she get killed and stored from the start, or did she really come into the tower by accident?

Seeing the corpses of her parents on top of Milia’s experiment table, Milia didn’t feel any emotion.

Yes, that must be the case.

“…… I am strange.”

What she could notice was her own weirdness.

There was no specific intention. The owners of the Mage Tower would have been able to investigate at least who the corpse was going to be on her lab table.

However, from the moment this surprisingly emotionless girl started to look like a doll instead of a disciple, she was distorted.

“… ….”

Emotions she had long forgotten sprouted in her heart.

Seeing the traces of her parents dismantled by her own hands, Milia shed tears as her expressionless face remained.

However, she still couldn’t figure out the reason for her tears.

Why is she crying?

Sorry to her parents? Are you resentful? Or was it just dust getting on the mucous membranes of her eyes?

Now she couldn’t even understand that. Despite approaching the essence of magic, she was infinitely distant from humans and society.

And even at the moment when she was at such a turning point.

“Do you have Milia! Today I have compiled a new magic for you! Other idiots may not know it, but you can definitely learn from it. This is a simplified version of high-level magic…….”

“Yes, I will go now.”

No one noticed that. Millia also did not inform the fact. Because I thought this was no big deal.

Like that, Milia was going crazy little by little without even knowing herself.

***

And then another few years passed.

This time, it was an unusual situation where everyone gathered just like the magic tower owners came to find Milia for the first time.

“Did you say a warrior? Huh, but I don’t know the intention of sharing that information with us.”

Originally, the relationship between the tower masters was not so good, so these questions naturally followed.

Obviously, information that would have been more helpful if I had been alone.

Since it is being released without any conditions, there is no doubt about it.

“Hmph, is this for you guys? This is all for the sake of the world and for evolution. No matter how much we quarreled, I thought there was such a compromise, but am I wrong?”

“That means… ….”

The Master of the Magic Tower who brought the information for the first time.

The Sidus Magic Tower that explores the future and destiny through the sun, moon, and stars.

He was the most farsighted wizard in the world, and he was also the one who was most committed to human evolution.

“Milia, let’s keep that child by the hero’s side for the time being.”

“Hmm… ….”

It was only a conclusion, but the tower masters knew what Sidus’ tower master was thinking.

The magic towers each had different magic and operating methods, but they had one common ideology.

That is human evolution. To become a better being.

And the hero is a being who has been destined to become a transcendent human being.

As difficult as that fate was, the price was also exceptional.

And the Mage Tower owners recognized such a hero not as a human being, but as a being that went one step further from human beings.

“If it’s Milia’s eyes, she might be able to find out if it’s that child.”

Artificially creates warriors.

Makes everyone a hero.

Yes, it stands in this world as the only species completed through that.

That is the common secret wish of the seven mage towers.

“If only I could study the hero and uncover the secret of its existence! Wouldn’t it be worth making some sacrifices?”

That’s how the observation of the hero through Milia began.

Milia’s request from the masters of the Mage Tower is indeed simple.

“First…… See you My name is Milia Asrin. Oh no, it’s a wizard. I look forward to?”

To uncover the secret of the hero.

It was an order to use even the corpse for that purpose.

“Wow! Thanks everyone! Let’s do our best to save the world together, right? We are a party of proud warriors!”

“… ….”

However, Miria, who received such a special order, is unfortunately…….

‘How should I answer?’

She couldn’t do anything against the hero because her social skills were the worst.

Esmeralda, the warrior who stared at Millia, who tilted her head alone, soon left to talk to someone else.

That’s how Millia’s journey began.

Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t do anything during that time.

She decided to take a look at the hero, Esmeralda.

“What’s up? Millia.”

“Eek, ugh… …. Oh no.”

However, unlike her already dead corpse, Esmeralda comes alive and speaks to her.

It was an unprecedented fear.

It was very difficult to deal with Esmeralda because the only conversations she had with her priorities were with the lords of the Mage Tower who had become similar to her.

Because of the fact that the owners of the Magic Tower asked not to be found out, Milia couldn’t get closer to or talk to Esmeralda than necessary.

Milia encounters a problem for the first time in her life and the answer is unknown.

‘I don’t know what to do. What are you going to say? What should I ask and what should I investigate? I know how to talk about magic.’

She doesn’t know what to say except magic.

One day, Milia was hesitantly skipping the hero party.

“Hey heck! The monsters living in the forest have made the village look like this! I want to take revenge, but I don’t have the strength! Please. Warrior please…… ! Please…… !”

I met a demon who approached me pretending to be a human. Yes, she saw through the existence of her opponent at once.

I didn’t find out through a specific ability.

She just knew. The moment she saw Jim, she knew he was a demon.

As she is a wizard, she is usually confident in her eyes.

Yes. She knew Jim’s true identity at first sight.

Even so, the reason she didn’t bother to mention it was just that.

‘Since everyone doesn’t say anything, I should just stay still.’

It was just timid.
