Infinite Mage - Chapter 12

[12] The first step towards a dream (4)

Reina stared blankly at Sirone who was breathing heavily. I can’t evaluate the pitch because it’s not something that can be called a performance, but the insight to realize the essence is beyond imagination.

‘Who are you? Why is this child a butler…’

“Ah, it’s a bit noisy! You devil!”

Sirone and Reina looked back towards the hallway at the same time.

“If you come, wipe your feet and go to sleep or even sing a lullaby! Get hit in a harsh place and get hysterical!”

frizzy hair. Half-closed, grim eyes. Lian, still asleep, entered the room scratching her washboard abs. Then, when he saw Sirone sitting next to his sister, he tilted his head.

“what? Sirone, what are you doing here?”

“No, hey…”

It would be a big deal if Raina found out that he was friends with Lian.

However, Lian mumbled something as if he hadn’t thought about it, and then suddenly grabbed his stomach and smiled.

“Puhahaha! can you Are you here to get it?”

Sirone’s face burned with unbearable shame. How would Raina see herself if she found out about the crime Rian had committed? Also, how embarrassing would she be?

“no! It’s because I came in for a while.”

“No what? Congratulations Sirone. You have finally become a man.”

Ryan was unstoppable. Of course, underwear was probably as insignificant as a dishcloth among family members. However, it was a burden that Sirone could not handle.

“what? Did you guys know each other?”

“Sirone? oh my friend.”

“Rian! What are you talking about?”

“ha ha ha! are you okay. That witch has a nasty temper, but she doesn’t care about that at all.”

Is it really so?

I know she has an artistic and open personality. However, this was the most serious situation that could happen between nobles and commoners.

“Your name was Sirone. don’t worry. If Rian is a friend, then he is a friend. Even though he is a pitiful younger brother, he is not a kid who plays with people.”

Sirone didn’t look suspicious. It could have made her feel bad as the victim, but Reina rather accepted Sirone’s attitude favorably. Because true trust grows out of doubt.

“But you are very special. How did you do that performance earlier?”

“what? Was it Sirone? I thought my sister’s hysteria was triggered again.”

Sirone’s brow furrowed. It didn’t make sense to label such a pretty and kind sister a witch or a hysteria.

“Ryan why did you lie to me? You are a kind and nice person.”

“Sirone, you must not be fooled! This woman is a witch! It might eat you someday!”

Lian grabbed Sirone by the shoulder and shook him. Lian’s expression was too serious to dismiss it as a joke.

“I’m sorry. My younger brother is so immature. Still, it’s reassuring to have a friend like Sirone. I’m a pathetic and ugly younger brother, but you take good care of me.”

Ryan walked over to the table and poured water. In any case, between brother and sister, no matter what they said, it would not go into their ears.

“Oh no. What am I…”

Reina stared at Sirone, who was shyly scratching her head. He must have grown up when he was 17, but he was a very innocent child.

“Huh, you are so cute.”

“If you’re that cute, your sister lives with you. If Sirone becomes a family, it’s good for me. Hahahaha!”

At Lian’s joke, Sirone’s face turned red. Even so, the reason why I didn’t feel bad was because I had a crush on her without knowing it.

“Oh my goodness! You seem to be close enough to give up your older sister.”

“What are you talking about? Of course, Sirone is like a brother, but he doesn’t mind giving a witch like you to anyone. Rather, Sirone is a waste.”

“Aha, is that so?”

Reina’s body flew up. Sirone’s mind was dazzled by the leaping power that easily exceeded the height of a person.

Landing in front of Lian, Reina pulled her brother’s ear hard.

“Ouch! it hurts! It hurts!”

“You got the culprit!”

“You are the culprit! What are you talking about?”

“The guy who played with my underwear. is it you?”

“no! Why put it on a strict person!”

“You and Sirone are the only two hot-blooded men on the second floor, and from what I have seen, Sirone is definitely not that kind of guy. So there is only you Will you admit it now? Why did you take interest in your sister’s underwear, which you hate so much?”

Reina was once a master of swordsmanship on par with Rai. As such, the power concentrated in the fingers was enormous.

Rian looked at Sirone with the feeling of being quenched by hellfire. There is only self-destruction beyond this. If you’re going to die anyway, isn’t it better for even one person to survive?

“Yes I did! I was trying to put it on because my underwear fell off! You can’t even give your sister a pair of panties! Aaaagh!”

When Reina mercilessly tugged at her ear, the huge Lian stood on tiptoe.

“Are you saying that now? If you don’t tell the truth, your ears will be ripped off.”

“Kill, kill! I have nothing more to say!”

Sirone was restless. No matter who took the lead, it was the same thing, so I couldn’t let Rian suffer alone.

“Actually, I did.”

“Sirone no way! You don’t know the fear of this witch! Run quickly!”

“It happened because Rihanna was playing a joke. There was no malice. But I’m really sorry.”

“Hmm, that’s what I meant.”

Reina slowly opened her eyes and looked at Sirone and Lian alternately. Then he laughed and punched Lian’s head.

“ouch!”

“I think I saved my life because of Sirone. Just one more time and then I will make you truly deaf.”

Lian stroked the top of his head and muttered all the time. What kind of wind did this witch come into the house from?

“Why did you come back? Have you taken a vacation before?”

“huh? haven’t you heard yet? Rai news.”

“When did you see we cared?”

“This time, Lai is taking the official inspection test. That’s why I came to pick you up. I started out with my grandfather from the royal castle, but he said he was coming to meet some friends along the way.”

“An official exam?”

Ryan’s eyes widened in shock. The difference in skill was acknowledged. Because my brother was a genius.

But did it happen like this?

A certified license was the dream of everyone living in the kingdom of Tormia, and was a criterion to measure aristocratic ranks.

The exam is held once a year and the number of applicants reaches as high as 1,000.

However, among them, there were not even 30 people who could obtain official recognition.

There was an unofficial license as the target for comparison. It was issued by an institution designated by the royal palace. Taking the city of Creas as an example, there was Alpheas Magic School as a representative.

After graduating from magic school, you become an unofficial 10th class wizard, and after that, you will raise your level by performing various achievements through associations or guilds.

The difference between public and non-officials was whether or not they were recognized by the royal family. Therefore, even among non-officials, there are talented people who are comparable to public figures, but since people tend to flock to places where money and honor follow, the overall level of public figures can be said to be much higher.

The difference was also evident in the fact that more than half of those who obtained non-official licenses in the annual official exams took place.

“I hope it will be fun. Geniuses are different. They push you hard at home too.”

Reina looked at Lian sadly. Talented or not, he was the cute youngest brother. I thought I didn’t want to be hurt by this incident.

“I have to go prepare dinner. It’s seafood from the royal palace, so you have to clean it yourself. It was nice to meet you Sirone. Let’s say hello next time.”

“yes. goodbye.”

Sirone put her regret behind her and lowered her head. As he left the mansion tomorrow, there was no way he would see Reina again. But the excitement of playing the piano with her will never be forgotten.

“Lian, by any chance, your sister.”

“huh? Why is my sister?”

“So… do you have a boyfriend or something?”

Sirone regretted it as soon as he said it. Emotions are like beasts imprisoned in an iron cage, and if you let go, it can lead to uncontrollable consequences.

After blinking for a long time, Lian smiled, showing her teeth.

“Sirone, are you sure?”

“Oh no! just forget it! I just…”

“Puhahaha! sister! sister!”

When Lian ran out of the room, Sirone, who was blushing, chased after him. Even going down the stairs was a waste of time, but Lian pulled her face out of the railing and shouted.

“sister! Sirone asked if I had a boyfriend…!”

“Aw, stop!”

Sirone, who barely kept her mouth shut, grabbed Lian by the waist and dragged her into the room.

“huh? What are you talking about? boy friend?”

The maids working in the kitchen looked up at the second floor. Reina, who prepares the seafood, said with a smile.

“It’s a joke with the kids. Now all you have to do is steam it. The poison has been removed, so please cook according to the recipe.”

“Your lady.”

As soon as the full-scale cooking began, the ladies-in-waiting again immersed themselves in their work.

However, the young man in charge of the mansion’s business was frowning at the voice from earlier.

Chief Louis.

He was the youngest person in the history of the family to become the head of the butler, thanks to his natural calculation skills and thorough personality. He was wearing rimless glasses that accentuated his cold expression.

“Sirone?”

The ladies-in-waiting may have never heard of it, but it was clearly embedded in his brain as the butler. He was a contract boy brought by Temuran to work on the transfer of the Great Library.

“Why, with the youngest boy…?”

It was a matter that could not be overlooked for him, who had sworn to dedicate his life to the prosperity of the Ogent family. It was clear that something was going on that he didn’t know about.

His eyes flashed, and he called the butler and gave instructions.

“Tell the sub-butler to come to my room right away.”

Kkokdu From dawn, the sound of spirit resounded in the large parade ground.

Lian raised the intensity of training more than usual. The talk of Rai taking the official exam added fuel to his embers. sure to catch up With that thought in mind, I repeated the cut countless times.

Kite looked at his pupil’s exciting sword dance and was convinced.

‘It definitely increased.’

stamina energy skills. It was a breakthrough in every way. With this level of skill, it would be easy to subdue a gang of bandits near the city.

However, assuming a confrontation between those who have formally learned swordsmanship, it was still far, far away. The problem was the schema. Lian’s greatest strength, recklessness, was working as a weakness this time.

Lian’s swordsmanship was hectic and intense. Even though there are times when you need to make your mind cold and realize the essence, he only emphasized moving forward.

‘Everyone has their own way. The downside of not being cool is nothing compared to that hot firepower. It is clear that there is no choice but to go on like this. It’s a pity.’

“Taha! Taha! Taha!”

He wielded a club twice as heavy as a longsword with brute force alone. Considering the air resistance, it was a power that was comparable to holding a greatsword. I was already looking forward to how much efficiency would be maximized if I could learn the schema.

“stop! 10 minute break!”

Lian gasped and returned to Kite.

Kite found the burning passion in his pupil’s eyes. One day a year ago, I had eyes like this.

It went off quickly at the time, but this time it was different. Rai goes to the palace. Lian’s flame would never fade again.

“Youngest boy! The youngest boy!”

The average butler working at the mansion came running in a hurry. Arriving in front of the thirsty Lian, he spoke without even stopping his breath.

“It’s a big deal! The lady wants you to come to the mansion quickly!”

“Your sister? what’s going on all of a sudden If it’s because of you, I’m not interested. Do it yourself.”

“It’s not like that. A contract boy named Sirone is now in danger of dying.”
