core and circles.

The two power sources based on mana were chosen by knights and wizards, respectively, due to their different properties.

A core created by condensing refined mana inside the heart.

Mana extending from the core has high stability and immutability.

Knights use their core’s mana to slash their enemies with enhanced bodies and weapons.

Circles, on the other hand, are more of a mana operator than a source of power in themselves.

The circle that rotates the heart changes fluidly and realizes a mysterious phenomenon according to the will of the caster.

Cores and circles were originally power sources that had to be created artificially, but very rarely, there were geniuses who were born with circles.

However, Ray couldn’t be sure if Luna belonged to such a ‘genius’.

A circle is a ring of mana that revolves around the heart.

It is a ring with a radius about the size of two fists put together that revolves around the heart.

However, in Rey’s half-opened eyes, there was a blurry swarm of lights revolving around Luna.

The radius was over 3 m.

bang!

Rey, who trampled on the wall, almost exploded mana and shot himself.

Magical spells begin to be engraved on the ring of mana that revolves around Luna.

Luna had never learned magic.

Therefore, the current process was entirely an imitation of Alesia’s work.

Even with the same magic, the bowls were different sizes.

Even with the same magic, the flame that created the bonfire could become a flame that covered the sky.

Of course, Luna didn’t even know that even he could calculate it with his natural senses and produce the desired result.

I wasn’t interested.

Rey was definitely going to stop the manifestation of magic itself.

In an instant, a blue light flashed on Rey’s blade.

Rey, who aimed his sword at the corner of the circle engraved with formulas, fell to Luna.

Tsu-!

The magical formula takes a hit by the touch of the sword that corrupts the space.

At the same time as Rey shoved his leg into the ground, the disturbed magic flowed back and spurted out a huge gust of wind in all directions.

Quang! aah

*

The children, fascinated by Alesia’s magical mystery, did not pay much attention to whether or not Luna approached the bonfire.

However, as the heat felt through the skin grew stronger, and the quiet bonfire began to twist in a strange direction, they stopped cheering and began to gather their eyes together.

The red color spreads in the wind.

At that moment, a flash of lightning fell between the campfire and Luna.

Quang! aah

“Wow!?!”

When a sudden gust of wind blew, the children who could not support themselves struggled and rolled on the floor.

After a while and the gust of wind stopped, the children were able to properly capture Ray, which fell like a lightning bolt in the middle of the playground.

after a moment of silence.

The cheers of the children erupted all at once.

“Wow!”

The children’s impressions were simple. damn it!

There was something flashing, there was a craze, and anyway, it was crazy.

When Rei, the leader of the orphanage, showed something greater than the magic of aristocrats, the children jumped and felt their hearts beating violently.

It was a sight to be proud of, but Ray raised his right fist expressionlessly.

“Everyone is quiet.”

“…”

The children quickly shut their mouths at the sound of the mana-filled voice.

Rey, holding the broken knee joint, slowly stood up.

“A precious guest may stop by the nursery, so I’m waiting after I wash my face and change into clean clothes.”

“Ray, maybe you have a precious guest…!”

“Personal questions later. If everyone understands, conduct.”

“practice!!”

I don’t know what it is, but when the children saw the scene, their flags were raised and they rushed into the nursery.

Ray wiped his face.

“Oh, I almost missed it.”

It was a really quick car.

He almost threw himself into the flames that began to burn and became a lump of charcoal.

Ray sighed and looked at the remaining children.

“Alesia, Karen, and Luna. Why are you playing with fire in the morning?”

“That’s it, Ray!”

Alessia stepped forward and talked about the fact that Karen had been arguing over and over and how much patience she had endured.

Rey, who heard the whole story, nodded.

“Girl, listen carefully.”

“…yes?”

Alessia was perplexed at the sudden change of name.

“Why, why?”

“Karen just did her part for her.”

“Uh, why are you on the side of that poor man? That poor man insulted me as a nobleman.”

“Karen did not insult the nobility. Until she leaves this orphanage, she is not a noble but a commoner.”

“I am a noble, not a commoner!”

“Lady, I’ve said several times that this is an agreement with the Count.”

There is nothing good about spreading the news that a noble young-ae is in an orphanage.

For this reason, with the consent of the countess user, Alesia was given a fake commoner status.

“I’m not even here because of the girl’s bullying… Anyway, I wanted her to act like a commoner, and I treated her like a commoner to keep her from danger. Do you understand?”

“I understand, but…”

“Now, lady, let’s recap. Why did we try to treat you like a commoner?”

“…to protect me?”

“That’s right. Hitting me with honey chestnuts, hitting the back of my head, arguing, or ignoring me were all part of the process of trying to treat the young lady like a commoner.”

“Is that so?”

“So all of Karen’s actions were just a means to protect her.”

“Keep me… keep…”

Alessia, who was distracted by the sound of the washing machine running, tilted her head and shouted.

“Ray! You’re trying to fool me again!”

“Why are you so skeptical when dealing with me while believing in the book Lucia wrote?”

“Did you deceive me once or twice!”

“Alesia.”

Rey bowed her head as Alessia swung her fist with her body.

“If I’ve offended you, I’ll apologize instead. It’s just a misunderstanding, so I hope you don’t keep it in your heart.”

Alesia, who had stopped punching, assured her with her arms crossed.

“Ray! What do you think of me? Don’t worry. I’m not as petty as some common people!

Rey laughed lightly and turned to Karen.

Karen was still staring at Rey’s feet without saying a word with her red eyes.

Rey’s mouth twitched, swallowing the words he was about to say and raising the corners of his mouth.

“Karen, you too, go in and wash your face and rest.”

Although Karen was a bit fearless and immature this time, it was probably Rey’s fault for not taking good care of her.

Rather than getting angry right away, I wanted to hold a date and share a story in order to relieve my angst.

Finally, Rei faced Luna with a face that suddenly became serious.

“Luna.”

“…”

Rey, who narrowed the distance as if hugging Luna, whispered into her ear.

“Never again, never again, recklessly, try to write ‘it’. Until I get my permission, never. Promise me, Luna.”

“…I’m sorry. I won’t.”

“We’ll talk about the details later. You’re in too.”

After letting Karen and Luna in, only Alessia and the two were left.

Rey immediately ripped the bandage off her face.

A scab fell from the wound that crossed half of his face, and the stopped oozing began to flow again.

Alessia cried out in amazement.

“Lee, Rei! What are you doing!”

“The Earl of Phillips is coming here soon.”

“That’s good news, but what does that have to do with you taking the bandage off?”

“It’s like a little showmanship before the negotiation.”

I got a scratch on my face like this while trying to save my daughter-in-law, it was such a condescending bet.

*

Count Phillips didn’t want to see more than a hundred children flocking and kneeling and bowing, so he parked his wagon a short distance from the orphanage and summoned Alessia and Ray.

Jimmy, who entered the nursery with the knight, made eye contact with Ray.

The two, who cursed each other for not doing things right with their mouths, smiled and held hands.

Said the knight on one knee to Alesia.

“I’m glad you’re safe, miss. Just follow me.”

Two wagons were parked in the distance.

“Dad!”

Alesia, who was running energetically to the Count, slowed down after a while, and eventually lingered in place with her head bowed.

said the Count in a stern voice.

“Get inside the wagon.”

Alesia, who was fully aware of the accident, went into the small wagon with a dead spirit.

Rei, who narrowed the distance with the Count, put down his sword and tried to kneel down on one knee, but the Count waved his hand to stop him.

“Okay. You’ve lost a lot of debt, Ray. Is that the scar on your face when you saved Alesia?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“You’re too modest to come out in front of me with the bandages untied to show empathy.”

Rei and the Count laughed at the same time.

Considering their age and status, it was very ironic, but the two got along quite well.

After saying goodbye, Rey felt a strange sensation and turned her eyes away.

A man in a robed robe stood still by the carriage and kept his eyes on the sky.

Ray asked openly, even though he knew it was rude.

“Who is that wear… May I ask?”

“Oh, let me introduce myself. It’s David.”

A man named David gave the notice without taking his eyes off the sky.

“I’m going to leave for a while.”

“…I see. Let’s go.”

The one-sided notice seemed to be offensive, but the Count nodded his head without showing any dislike as much as possible.

After David disappeared, the Count slightly narrowed his eyes and added an explanation.

“It’s a bit arbitrary, but he’s a great wizard who reached the 6th circle anyway.”

6 circles.

It was a state of being classified as a high-ranking wizard in earnest.

Ray looked up at the sky. Wizards who are more sensitive to external mana than knights end up opening their eyes as soon as they reach 5th circle.

What color is the present sky seen with the eyes of which the eyes have been completely opened?

Is there still the reverberation of the mana swirling in the sky?

Ray’s face hardened subtly.

“As you may have noticed, you are taking Alesia’s magic class for a while.”

“You have a good teacher.”

“You don’t like to be polite to each other for a long time, so why don’t the two of you have a conversation in the wagon? Too many eyes to congratulate you on your work.”

Rey had hoped, too, but the sky still bothered him.

Rey, who asked for forgiveness for a moment, asked Jimmy and Matthew.

“Jimmy, Matthew. Could you go to the orphanage while I’m away? I’m a little uneasy.”

It was a random request, but Jimmy and Matthew nodded their heads.

Rey, thanking the two of them, sprinted into the large carriage the Count had ridden.

Tung!

The carriage door was closed .
