Infinite Mage - Chapter 4

[4] Meet the Magic (4)
Sirone heard every sound. Of course, he had more senses than that, but he couldn’t confide in Alfeas.
The moment a vague ideal is grasped, all thoughts face reality and warn that it is dangerous.
Maybe he didn’t get into the spirit zone. Still couldn’t define what it was.
It was as if the body was split into particles and spread out. As my senses opened, all sorts of information poured in. I shuddered at the vastness of a world completely different from what I felt with my five senses. At the same time, a truth penetrated my brain.
I am limitless.
“Huh black.”
Sirone shed tears from the overwhelming emotion. And I closed my eyes and ran. I didn’t even realize I was running. The aroused brain secreted a huge amount of adrenaline and fell into a temporary blackout state.
Suddenly, a blunt impact hit his face.
“Aww!”
Sirone grabbed his nose and slammed his ass. When I came to my senses, it was an alleyway. It was a secluded place that Vincent had warned not to enter.
“What are you annoying!”
The young man who had been hit on the back by Sirone fell and lost his temper. In front of them, bad-looking old men were glaring at Sirone.
Even when the young man woke up, he grabbed Sirone by the collar. He was a man with slanted eyes and twisted lips.
“what? Are you crazy?”
“Sorry!”
“Sorry, is it over? Blow honestly. You sent it from the wolf gang, right? Weren’t you just trying to soak me?”
“no! no!”
The thugs saw Sirone’s frightened eyes and smiled cruelly. This kid, who was cute even when he collapsed, didn’t even have the courage to hit people, let alone a knife.
In the back alleys, this kind was called herbivores. And herbivores were a good source of money for meat eaters. I’m trembling with fear, so now I just need to peel it off and eat it.
‘Hoo? Look at this?’
Judging by her face, she was dressed in a raggedy outfit, but she was imbued with elegance. Such a child was a high-class manpower who could receive a gold coin if sold to Namchon.
“What are you guys doing? Did anything interesting happen?”
“Miss Amy!”
The bullies shouted in unison and turned around.
Standing outside the alley was a pretty girl about the same age as Sirone. Her reddish bangs flowed down to cover one eye, and she wore a dress with a collar as high as her long neck.
“lol. Why did you come? Are you bored again?”
Contrary to his light tone, the young man servilely rubbed his hands together. It was natural for anyone who knew her identity.
Karmis Amy.
She is the youngest daughter of the Karmis family, the first in the aristocracy. Since I was born, I have everything, so I am tired of living, and these days, my only pleasure is snooping around the back alleys and finding interesting things.
Since the first class was right below the royal family in rank, it was only natural that the back alley thugs were trembling. What’s more, Amy was so generous that she was even respected by the gangsters.
“This child is a horse. Are you trying to kill someone? So I was trying to get my hands on it.”
Sirone hurriedly shook his head.
“Oh no. I bumped into it without even realizing it.”
“It’s cracking. Are you asking us to believe that?”
When the big man kicked his stomach, Sirone rolled on the floor without even screaming. My breath stopped and my stomach hurt like it was ripping apart. It was the first violence I experienced in my life.
“You shouldn’t have to pay for it, man! where did your mom go Bring me a mother who is swallowing bread after giving birth to someone with no conscience like you!”
Sirone was shocked. How can they say such a thing when they have a mother too? They were really bad guys.
“What? Does this child’s eyes change? Are you feeling bad?”
As soon as Sirone became serious, the bullies started to attack and trample on each other. Even then, Sirone didn’t know why she didn’t touch her face.
“stop. Then I’ll catch you.”
At Amy’s instruction, the bullies retreated.
Sirone looked at her with frightened eyes. I envied her for being free from pain, as if there was an invisible glass wall between the two of them.
“hey! Are you okay?”
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Who said what? I asked if you were okay.”
“I don’t know if it’s okay.”
Sirone wanted to go home. Maybe this girl will let it go. Didn’t women hate hitting people? I just hoped that permission would come from her.
said Amy, turning to the bullies.
“What are you going to do now? Anything more fun?”
Sirone looked at Amy with eyes full of betrayal and fear. But she just smiled and smiled like a mischievous person. said one of the bullies, scratching his head.
“I was thinking of robbing it for a while and then selling it as a male prostitute.”
Sirone’s face turned as pale as soup. Seeing the boy’s frightened face made Amy feel a little pity.
However, I have no intention of playing with the back alley trash anyway. I thought I’d scare him a little and send him home.
“A male prostitute shouldn’t have flaws. How about taking off your clothes?”
Amy made a bold suggestion. Aristocrats are on the more mature side than commoners, so at the age of 12, they had to be considered quick in theory.
As much as that, my curiosity was strong, and I was thinking about seeing it with my own eyes at least once.
‘Besides… he’s handsome, isn’t he? to be honest.’
The naked body of a rough adult was not acceptable even if they paid money. Fortunately, Sirone was the same age and I liked his appearance. If commoner women liked tall and sturdy men, aristocrats preferred faces like Sirone.
“Take it off. maybe not? If you do your best, maybe I can send you home.”
Sirone was stunned as he received countless stares. I couldn’t understand why I had to be treated like this.
“Hey lady, take off your clothes! Do you want to get hit again?”
The bully threatened, but Sirone didn’t even respond.
Amy was a little uneasy. Aristocrats are said to have grown up when they were 12 years old, but commoners were still children. It could have been that he had lost his mind over the fear beyond his limits.
However, Sirone did not go crazy. Rather, I was more focused than ever. He fell into a panic and entered the Spirit Zone without realizing it.
The second Spirit Zone I experienced was different from the first. All sorts of information flooded in. It seemed like I could even hear the hoodlums blinking.
Sirone passed her consciousness along the only path in the spiritual world of supersense. At the destination of the road, the memories of Alpheas casting magic remained.
Sirone’s insight gathered superficial information such as the emotions, senses, mental behavior, attitude, and attitude of Alpheas at the time of casting his magic.
As soon as the external form was established, a concept popped into my head as I roughly anticipated the inner intention.
“You bastard! Won’t you take your pants off soon? The lady says she misses you!”
Spirit Zone, which requires high concentration, is vulnerable to physical shock. Sirone also almost escaped from the Spirit Zone when a bully grabbed her by the collar and shook her.
Seeing an eerie energy in Sirone’s eyes, Amy stretched out her hand and shouted.
“Wait a minute!”
But the situation was already irreversible.
As Sirone’s spirit, which was barely straddling the boundary between reality and the Spirit Zone, realized the crisis, a certain will instinctively distorted the phenomenon.
Perong!
As the high-density wind surged, everything in the alley came to mind. The bullies, of course, flew to Amy as well.
As if a typhoon had swept through it, there were no wooden crates, no stones, not even a speck of dust left.
“Aww! Save people!”
Sirone jumped out of the zone at the sound of screams coming from the sky. When I came to my senses, I saw a desolate, empty alleyway.
After a while, people who had risen above the ceiling of the building began to scream and fall.
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
A heavy sound that was expected to shock just by hearing it knocked on the ground. Gravity is a much stronger force than common sense, so the limbs of the bullies who fell from their limbs were broken.
“Turn it off.”
“My arm. My leg…!”
His legs were grotesquely bent, and the bones of his forearms were sticking out a span of skin. It was a scene where discarded wooden dolls were left unattended.
Sirone, who had not expected that the emotion of the moment would produce such a disastrous result, was at a loss for words.
At that time, there was the only person who landed on the floor intact, and that was Amy.
Nobles hone their bodies through systematic training from an early age. Especially if it was the first rank of the nobility, there was no need to talk about it.
Amy, who came down holding her fluttering skirt with her hand, looked at Sirone with an absurd expression.
“You… what the hell is your identity?”
The scenery Sirone created clearly showed why magicians are so terrifying. Even she, who boasts innate athletic ability, couldn’t even resist the momentary whirlwind.
“Answer me! Where did you learn magic? How can you…!”
Amy stopped talking and looked back. Hearing the screams, people were rushing in. If rumors spread that he hung out with bullies, there would be an uproar in the family.
“Sheesh!”
Amy put one foot on the building. She flew off the wall and pushed off the wall with her feet again before disappearing onto the roof of the opposite building.
“uh? uh?”
Sirone, who had been following her in a zig-zag pattern, didn’t know what to do when she disappeared. If people see this scene, all their sins will be overwritten. The city is a cruel place for the powerless, so no one would be on their side.
Sirone fled into the alley on the other side. I moved my two legs frantically in search of the only father I could trust and rely on.
* * *
The Karmis family.
A strong man in the kingdom who has held the position of the first rank for 200 years.
The head family is here in Creas, but the talents produced by the family are outstanding beyond the kingdom and on the continent.
Amy opened the door looking tired. Her father, Karmis Shakora, who had returned to his home after retiring from politics, was reading the newspaper.
“I’m home.”
“Where are you going? You said you skipped education again?”
Although Shakora was over 60 years old, she was young enough to have no gray hair. A tall, slender body with an intelligent face. In his eyes, the pride of being the highest noble in the kingdom was young.
“I learned everything to learn. It’s no fun.”
“So, did you come to play with the fools? No matter how genius you are, if you play endlessly, you will catch up. Even raw stones have to be polished to become jewels. If you are not careful, the day will come when you will be stabbed in the back of the head someday.”
“Ooh! His nagging.”
Shakora laughed. The point of being naive is that she resembles her mother, but her talent is inherited from her own blood. When you know what you have, the tilted axis will automatically find its place.
Because that is the destiny of genius.
Amy stopped as she entered the room. Dad’s nagging reminded me of the daytime things I didn’t want to think about.
‘What the hell is that bastard?’
Judging by the way he dressed and his frightened appearance, it was clear that he was a commoner. The possibility that non-nobility learned magic formally was less than the possibility that an ignorant person could read the theory of the king.
Then, what was the magic cast in the alleyway?
accidental occurrence? awakening of talent? No matter how much I thought about it, that was the only thing that came to my mind. Dad’s words came back to me warmly.
-If you’re not careful, the day will come when you’ll be hit in the back of the head someday.
Amy bit her lip. It’s true that the world is boring, but that doesn’t mean I’m left behind.
“dad.”
Shakora put down the newspaper and raised her glasses. It was unexpected that her daughter, whom she thought was an adolescent, spoke to her first.
“okay. Do you have anything to say?”
“That… it’s not something I really want to do. I just have a field I’m interested in.”
“Hoo?”
Shakora’s eyes lit up in interest. Since I was a child who would break a hundred if I taught him one thing from a young age, he would do well no matter what he did.
“Tell me. Dad will actively support you.”
“No, not that I want to, just really interested.”
“okay. If so, I will actively support your interest.”
Amy smacked her lips. I knew the truth. That there is nothing in the world that the power and wealth of the first class cannot obtain.
It was nothing more than an adolescent girl’s foolishness to hope for parents who would sometimes endure difficult tasks for their daughters.
“Magic.”
“Huh? What?”
“If you know someone at the magic school, introduce them.”
