2nd Rank Has Returned

Exclusive Knight-4

[Matop? That tower I know?]

“Everything that will change in 300 years will have changed, but historically it will be the same.”

Even when there was a wise man, there was a mana tower. No matter how many sages are buried like fossils, they won’t be enough to surpass the history of a group.

[What’s a fisherman who should focus on research?]

＜In 300 years, it would be no wonder if the law was completely ripped apart.＞

In the era of the sage, the magic tower would have been at the level of a school or research institute to study magic.

He wasn’t sure because he was ignorant of magic or history, but the sage’s reaction like that was the basis for his conjecture.

“Leonardo, you have been arrested and detained as an [illegal magic user]. Do you know?”

Instead of answering, there was silence for a moment.

[Chiba… What kind of magic is illegal, it’s not.]

…said the sage [the essence of magic, the beginning of all magic, and who established modern magic].

To be honest, Leo also wanted to ‘tak’ his knee and agree, but first of all, he needed to keep his culture.

“I know, but I can’t agree.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not. It is us who decide.”

Saying so firmly, the two wizards in the tower sat down. Leo also sat down on the chair and faced them both.

“Didn’t you ever tell me to sit down?”

It’s really just useless.

“I am not a criminal. I haven’t been arrested as a criminal. There would be no reason to be suppressed even just sitting.”

“…that’s the only way to know.”

Other than the threat, they couldn’t think of anything to say, so the wizards didn’t add anything.

[Then I’ll just be put in a cell?]

＜I didn’t do anything wrong, so why?＞

The reason he was brought in here was simply to reduce the size of the incident. They are a tribe that is called a sinner if they run away.

[Then how? You have to wrestle your words well.]

I thought so anyway.

Of course, rather than flirting, I’ll use the dignified idiom of ‘defense’.

“You can exercise your right to remain silent and appoint a lawyer, and your testimony can be submitted as evidence. Did you notice?”

“Yes. understand.”

As if waiting for her to understand, the woman dressed in blue handed out some pictures to Leo.

“Between 8 and 8:30 pm, in this photo, a magical assault occurred in a downtown alley. Do you know?”

In the photo, the appearance of an alley destroyed in various compositions was revealed. As an added bonus, the assassins of the bloody shadows scattered around made the destruction of the alley stand out even more.

“I know, but assault is an inappropriate expression.”

First we needed to catch a steamer here.

“In order for an assault by magic to be established, I must first attack or have the will to do so using magic, but it doesn’t fit with the current situation.”

All three wizards around him opened their eyes and mouths a little.

Naturally, Leo had no choice but to be ignorant of magic and the law. In terms of environment and direction of interest, the two disciplines were far from Leo.

However

If this is a law related to crime and violence, the premise of the story is different.

“If there is a surprise attack or a preemptive attack such as an assassination, counterattack as a magic is allowed. This is called self-defense, isn’t it?”

They would be puzzled.

They probably started their interrogation with at least three premises.

Although not formally trained, Leo knows how to use magic.

Leo did not know how to use magic and used magic tools without permission.

Leo used black magic and illegal magic.

The premise must have been the limit of the imagination that a 13-year-old boy could put into it.

If Leo had expected the regressor to have a wise man’s stone, he’d be more than a genius, he’d be a madman.

“If I am wrong, please correct me. It’s hard to say for sure because I don’t have much experience.”

Even if they didn’t have to listen to them, their expressions gave them great answers.

“…It’s great to know that at such a young age, but as you say, you lack experience.”

[…ttttttt…]

The wise man clicked his tongue several times to see if there was any discomfort in planting. Leo also felt it was very uncomfortable to plant, but he decided to put up with it first.

“Why can’t self-defense be established?”

“First of all, in that you tortured the assassin Khan…”

“The escort knights are obliged to look for additional enemies to protect their masters. With that in mind, his torture was a necessary process.”

When I think about it, I don’t even give it a second.

Although he did not know the eloquence, the Magic Tower was overwhelmingly superior in magical and legal knowledge.

So, you overwhelm yourself as much as you have the momentum.

“Right eyeball damage. And to think about the jaw, nose, and cheek fractures on the face, and injuries all over the body…”

“If I hadn’t responded with magic, I might have been treated the same way, or even worse.”

This wasn’t just meant to overwhelm.

If he hadn’t actually used magic, he couldn’t have been sure of victory. Leo won not just because they were weak, but because they had an unaware wildcard called magic.

“…Then why did you use such magic?”

“What kind of magic is that?”

“Do you dare remove the shichimi?”

The man in black posed for the picture again. The picture showed the blackened ground, spears of broken stone, and walls punctured by wind bullets.

“Do you think that word comes out even after looking at this?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Do you think it’s reasonable to use the magic of the 3rd circle for self-defense?”

[…Well?]

“…Well?”

Sage and Leo showed the same reaction as if they were watching Decalcomani. It was so similar that I even got goosebumps.

“…what do you mean…?”

When Leo showed a bewildered reaction, the two wizards began to bite the tail of the horse without missing a moment.

“It would be better not to think about taking it off. It has at least two circles in terms of power and form.”

“It is possible to dispose of magic of 3 circles or more that is not permitted under the Criminal Act. Sometimes imprisonment…

“…big…”

Leo barely suppressed his words and breath. It would be a big disrespect if either of them came out.

[ね…Kugahahahahaha…!!]

The sage was busy bursting into laughter because he didn’t have to care about that, but… he had to put up with it.

“…what’s funny? The seriousness of the situation…”

“Ha… because it’s one circle.”

“…What? what…”

“The magic that I wrote, of course, my circle is also circle one.”

I thought it was subtly weird.

It was actually strange that the humans in the tower react so sensitively, and drive them as if they had seen black magic in only one circle of magic.

‘At first I thought it was a simple threat… it was like that.’

From the beginning, they weren’t accused of using circle 1 magic, that is, basic magic.

[So…!ね…! Your magic is called the 3rd circle…]

＜I misunderstood. 1 circle magic into 3 circles.＞

The main purpose was to interrogate how he learned and used the high-ranking magic of the 3rd circle.

“Do not lie! Are you mocking us?”

[Ji mocks Ji with her mouth.]

I wanted to answer the same as the sage …, but Leo couldn’t ruin his defense.

“Then shall we prove it?”

Leo raised one hand and unfolded the magic technique in front of the palm of his hand. Perhaps it was the result of special training in drawing figures, and in less than a second, the magic circle of [Fireball] was built.

“…what is this…”

“In terms of magic, it’s a fireball. Just look at the magic formula. If you can’t believe it, check my mana. There will be enough grounds for certainty.”

If you think about it a little more deeply, this power was also natural.

Because the person he was teaching was undoubtedly [the essence of magic, the origin of all magic, and the being who established modern magic].

[okay! This is magic!! Do you understand!? You guys!!]

…Yes, that person was the ‘sage’.

Perhaps it was a question of whether it was an abbreviation of “Reality is a gutter, child.” Or, honestly, I was convinced.

“…that…then…! Who the hell did you learn from…?”

Leo looked at the owner with a squint.

[What? why?]

The person who taught the supreme teaching was digging his little finger to see if his ear was tickling. Desperately hoping it wasn’t the finger that cut his nose, Leo turned his eyes away.

“I can’t speak.”

At best it was a lie, at worst it was perjury.

However, Leo’s heart was as hard as sandpaper to trample on the idols and hopes of those young wizards and dreamers.

***

[But why did you say that?]

＜Because I can’t believe you’re telling the truth.＞

Roughly false testimony was like this.

Leo went into a cave to escape the rain one day and met a man wearing a hood.

He stayed in the cave, starving for several days, demanding food and water from Leo.

And when I gave them water and food, the man taught me magic as a reward.

Shortly thereafter, the man died of an illness, and Leo left the road with him buried.

It was woven together with a performance that could only appear in a rough third-rate novel called ….

[Am I not so pitiful? Besides, what dies in the end?]

＜I can’t help it. The best way to get rid of the excuses was to kill them.＞

And to be honest, it was a lot of beautification. If I tell you all of this now, the wizards will rip off their hair and cover their ears somehow in a cosmic horror.

[Why are you looking at me like that?]

＜…Anyway, thanks to the sage, I was able to use magic.＞

As a result, thanks to the magic of the sage, Leo was able to break through the crisis. This result deserves thanks.

[…Jjajjak, you should know. But that’s it.]

Noh Hyun-ja, who had been brushing his chin and beard for a moment, opened his mouth.

[How are you going to learn magic now?]

＜…Magic? You can do it the way you do.＞

what anew

[Not that, bro. If you follow that repertoire, you can’t learn circle 2 magic.]

Clearly, according to the current scenario, it cannot be said that he learned magic by self-studying alone. In particular, the 2nd circle magic, which is one step higher, will not be able to be dispelled even if it is awakened alone.

＜It’s okay. I saved the master deputy.＞

[Master Assistant?]

Deputy teacher, if someone can teach Leo the 2nd circle magic, even if it’s clumsy, there will be a cause for learning.

The reason why he used magic in the first place was to get a justification to learn from the agent.

[who? There were no wizards in the family?]

＜There is.＞

Leo exited the iron door and pointed to the side.

＜Why would I ever learn about magic, especially the laws of magical crimes in the first place?＞

A head-to-head who came by teleportation approached Leo.

I was very impressed with her squint eyes and her white hair as smooth as Aria.

If we had to find out why Leo was proficient in laws in this field, it was because 20% of them were mercenaries, and 80% of them were because of that bald man.

[Hey, maybe.]

Reinhardt’s head and eldest son, and

＜He’s a wizard who can even use teleports.＞

At the same time, Rios Reinhardt, the current 4th circle wizard, appeared.

“I was released pretty early. Let’s just kill the jokes by roasting those old folks!”

Rios provoked and spoke like that and held out a piece of tofu wrapped in newspaper. I didn’t know why they wrapped tofu, as soft as pudding, in a newspaper, but it was Rios, so I understood.

“In the East, if you are released from prison in this way, they give you tofu. Enjoy your meal~”

“…Ah yes.”

Now it was hard to say anything. I’m hungry, so I should eat this.

The moment I opened the newspaper package and took a bite out of the tofu.

《Joke assassin, subdue the bloody shadow with magic jokes…》

“…Chiba… Cool…!”

The tofu, as soft as pudding, blocked the esophagus and stopped breathing.

Before Jehad and the black screen were found, the imagination of smashing the newspapers repeated the expansion and contraction of the throat.
