Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 23
Larsen Mayton came to his senses after confirming the name of the
magic master’s youngest son, Episode 23, ‘Kashin Seid’.
‘Why is he here?’
To be honest, he’s a guy I don’t really want to meet.
The true protagonist of this world. A genius among geniuses, blessed with all kinds of luck and luck. Just the Munchkin protagonist of a typical Munchkin novel. A monster created by Cha Seong-min. A young final king has emerged.
Protector Jayple was also a little nervous.
‘Light blue armor. A blue hawk engraved on the left chest.’
I quickly figured out who they were.
‘Similar age to Confucius. Good looks. Blue hair and blue eyes.’
It was definitely Kashin, the second prince of the swordsman Sayde. Kashin itself is not a big problem, but there are three knights over there as well. He must be a knight protecting Kashin. By the standards of magic masters, they are called ‘protectors’, and by swordsman masters, they are called ‘guardian spirits’. Only the name was different, but the role was similar.
A new phrase appeared in Larsen’s eyes.
[The world’s three famous families have a special power to recognize themselves. It is imprinted in their innate ‘mana’ and is similar to how a wild animal recognizes a wild animal.]
This is what Cha Seong-min himself described. I experienced it firsthand. Even without knowledge as a writer, even without Cheonan, Larsen would have felt it the moment he saw Kashin. That the little boy in front of me is the child of a ‘master swordsman’.
Kashin stood in front of Larsen. He bowed slightly politely.
[Kashin was always polite and courteous. He tried to treat people equally and had a disposition to repay good intentions with good intentions and bad intentions with malice.]
Kashin’s voice was heard.
“I came because I felt a powerful mana wave.”
As a main character, he was quite polite and courteous. I thought he was a protagonist who was born into an ideal family, received an ideal education, and lived with ideal ideas. Even though he is just talking, the feeling of being loved is overflowing. There is elegance and culture in every word. I felt that way from my 9-year-old child.
“A powerful mana wave?”
“yes. The guardian spirits said that the fiery mana soared. “I felt it too.”
Larsen nodded. I don’t think it was that powerful. I just drank ‘fire water’ for disease-free longevity.
Larsen decided to explore the situation while maintaining a reasonable position. So I asked informally.
“Is that why you came all the way here?”
“yes. “I’m curious.”
[As a child, Kashin was a boy full of curiosity. When curiosity arose, it had to be solved, and it became the foundation of growth.]
This is how Cha Seong-min described the young Kasin. Based on the description, Cassin seemed to have approached Larsen with curiosity.
“I think you know who I am.”
“I don’t know exactly. It looks like he is a blood relative of the Mayton family. Since you are a little older than me, I thought you were the 6th Prince…”
Kashin, a 9-year-old young man, spoke clearly.
“But I heard that he is learning water attribute magic. But you don’t smell like water at all. “Then are you the Fifth Confucius?”
Larsen looked at Kashin.
‘Should I let people mistake me for the 5th Confucius?’
What can I say? I don’t really want to have anything to do with Kashin. That was my first thought. When I first became possessed, that was an almost absolute code of conduct.
‘But what if I find out I cheated later?’
I don’t have the confidence to handle the aftermath. There is no reason to sell another brother. At this point, the Mayton family and the Sayid family cannot be considered enemies.
‘no. ‘Let’s not cheat.’
The moment Larsen saw Kashin, he began to think about the bigger picture. Now I have to move as a writer.
‘Change the operation.’
Kashin has a fair personality. There is a degree. kind. He punishes villains mercilessly and sprays them with cider, but he also knows how to show kindness to good people. He is a great guy who knows how to risk his life for his friends and colleagues.
It was decided on the spot.
‘Let’s become friends.’
If you become too friendly, it’s difficult, so just be in moderation. Just enough to have feelings for each other. I think it would be great if we could get to know each other just that much.
“The fifth brother is a wizard who mainly masters the earth attribute.”
Kashin thought for a moment. However, it seems like my age is too inappropriate to be promoted to the 5th Confucius.
“Then are you really the 7th Prince?”
“….”
Larsen looked. Watching the ‘guardian spirits’ flinch. There was astonishment in their eyes.
“Well, isn’t it any different from the rumors?”
“It’s very different from the rumors I heard.”
“You’re friends. “Let’s talk.”
9 years old and 9 years old.
The supporting and leading roles met.
“In that case, I will speak comfortably.”
“okay.”
Anyway, Kashin is still 9 years old. For a 9-year-old, there is a 9-year-old approach. Kashin was familiar with etiquette, but like a fantasy protagonist, he also had an aspect of pursuing freedom. He just has a personality that seems good.
[Young Kashin was rich in everything. Parents’ love. Great teacher. Even proper education as a prospective absolute. But there was one thing missing. Kashin had no friends his own age. Something that family cannot fill. Kashin always lacked that.]
And that later played a big role in helping Kashin gather his colleagues. Kashin considers ‘friends’ very important. That became the background for camaraderie to grow into a special protagonist.
‘Well, it’s worth it.’
He is the son of a master swordsman. Who in this world would dare to be Kashin’s friend? Everyone in his age group finds Kashin difficult. Among them, special people like Lydia who do not find Kashin difficult become Kashin’s true companions.
At that time, Lydia, who had been quietly listening, suddenly intervened.
“Is he your friend too?”
Lydia held out her hand.
“I’m 9 years old too. “You are very handsome.”
Lydia smiled innocently. Kashin, who was not used to the ‘handshake’ of wizards, hesitated. Lydia took Kashin’s hand first. And shook it up and down.
“I am Lydia! What’s your name?”
Kashin responded to Lydia’s crazy friendliness as if he was being drawn to something without realizing it.
“…Kashin.”
I didn’t say anything until Sade.
“Kashin?”
“huh.”
“It’s a pretty name. “You have a pretty face too!”
Kashin’s face turned a little red. Even Larsen was amazed by that incredible friendliness. It was surprising how he had kept his mouth shut until now.
Kashin cleared his throat and asked again.
“Larsen. I was just curious about mana waves. “Can you explain?”
“I came with Lydia, a member of the fire clan, to find the ‘Holy Grail of Fire’ that Lydia’s family was guarding. “The fire chalice contained special water, and it must have been the mana that came from that water.”
“ah.”
There are many clans in the world. Clan of fire. Water clan. Clan of the wind. Starting from the elemental classes, to the beastmen and giants. There are so many races. They all fall into the category of ‘human’. They all keep at least one secret. Kashin also nodded as if he knew this.
“It seems like you have gained an opportunity.”
“hmm. “It’s a coincidence.”
Although I got it intentionally.
“What power does that fire mana have? “It was a strange feeling.”
“The power that protects me from external stimuli.”
“Something like poison?”
“huh.”
“It’s a good power.”
Japle was still nervous. The magic masters and the swordsman masters are not enemies, but they are not very close friends either. Just a competitor. Besides, they have the upper hand in terms of power. If you do harm here, you are in a situation where you have no choice but to suffer.
Japle could not guess how the guardian spirits over there would move.
‘You don’t even know that, and you’re just having a trivial conversation.’
Moreover, he is so naive that he easily blows away the power he has gained. Is there nothing that can be done about being 9 years old? That tomboy girl suddenly developed a crush on Kashin and said,
“Wow. Is this a knife? “Can I touch it?”
He even shows a strange behavior of touching the sword of a swordsman. In some cases, even if attacked, there is nothing to say.
However, Kashin had to feel something strange.
‘Why do you treat me so comfortably?’
This feeling of being treated comfortably wasn’t bad. I felt like I met a friend of my own age. Everyone makes things difficult for them, but these kids didn’t. So I felt good.
Meanwhile, Larsen thought.
‘Let’s become reasonably friendly with Kashin.’
If we break up today, we probably won’t see each other again for a while. If so, you should leave behind a lot of good memories. What would Cha Seong-min do in this situation? If it were the characters drawn by Cha Seong-min, what kind of conversations would they have and what kind of situations would they have portrayed? I thought about it from a third person’s perspective and from the Creator’s perspective. The answer was fixed.
“Kashin.”
“why?”
“This is my first time seeing someone from the Sayid family. “He’s the same age as me.”
“It’s my first time seeing someone my age.”
After shaking hands, Larsen said:
“I heard that people from swordsmanship families mix swords before becoming friends. “What did they say about that?”
“Call it bimu.”
Kashin’s eyes sparkled. Like the main character of a fantasy novel, he was fascinated by dancing. Kashin was always kind and gentle, but the moment he picked up the sword, he became a different person. It’s a common setting and cliché.
“Yes, Bimu. Would you like to try that? I heard it’s a necessary step to becoming friends. “I think you said it was about confirming trust.”
“It’s not absolutely necessary, but…”
“It’s a good thing to do, right?”
9-year-old Kashin thought for a bit before answering.
“Are you asking me for a job?”
At that moment, J.P.P. felt like his eyes were turning yellow.
‘In this situation, it’s called bimu?’
What if there are three guardian spirits over there? Are you going to dance in a situation where complete safety is not guaranteed? However, you cannot move forward. First of all, the 7th Prince is externally a blood relative of the Mayton family. It is impossible to stop a blood relative from doing something without justification. Moreover, in a situation where competing families are watching. It could be seen as an act of ignoring the ‘blood of the Mayton family’.
‘What do you believe in?’
This is the difference between Larsen and J.P.L.
Larsen knows because he is the creator. They don’t stab you in the back. The Seidgar that the Maytons think of and the Seidgar that the Creator thinks of are completely different.
Kashin asked.
“Have you learned swordsmanship too?”
“no. “I have learned the art of martial arts.”
“I heard that magic fighting is a discipline that is rarely learned.”
“That’s the only thing I’m good at.”
“It’s some kind of martial arts, right?”
“It’s closer to martial arts.”
Kashin’s eyes sparkled even more.
“But why are you applying for military service? “I heard the people in the magic town don’t like us.”
“How did the rumor about me spread?”
“Fuck you.”
also. I thought so.
“But what about me when you see it with your eyes?”
“He doesn’t seem like a bad person.”
At least he didn’t look like a bitch.
“Rumors are bound to be false. “This is especially true when, like you and me, we are separated by a continent with the Black Sea in between.”
“That’s right.”
Larsen added another word.
“you. “You don’t have any friends?”
The bodies of the ‘guardian spirits’ flinched. Depending on how you interpret that statement, it can be extremely rude.
Aside from the fact that it is a conversation between children, it can be interpreted that the ‘magic master’ is ignoring the ‘sword master’. If this is interpreted that way, the guardian spirits must move. To protect the honor of a master swordsman.
Japle became even more nervous.
‘Why are you saying that?’
I don’t know why that idiot is provoking the master swordsman. I am ready to activate the emergency communication mana sphere in my chest at any time.
But then Larsen spoke.
