Kaladun Blood Judgment (4)

Seeing the magic circle moving freely on Harang’s wrist, several immediate blood relatives hardened their expressions.

“Magic, magic… … ?”

In fact, there were often knights who learned magic as an auxiliary skill.

However, no one learned it to use it in battle, and only learned it to solve auxiliary parts such as chasing or raising light, and there were few knights who actually learned magic that was helpful in battle.

This is because it was more efficient to use the time to train such things to become stronger by swinging the sword one more time.

‘I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but I’m not that good at using my magic in combat.’

Although he has learned quite a lot of magic through the [Acquisition] function, due to having little practical experience, Harang’s magic casting speed is much slower and more inefficient than that of other wizards, and his power will be much weaker than that of the 4-star Silver Heart.

Of course, if he faced a 3-star wizard, it was obvious that no matter how low he was, he would lose miserably.

If an ordinary wizard saw it, his skills were so insignificant that they would laugh at him!

but… … It was bound to feel different to others.

“It’s hard to believe that only 14 people have 4 stars in swordsmanship, and 3 stars in magic… ?”

Some blood relatives had their mouths wide open and couldn’t even think of closing them. To that extent, Harang’s level of achievement was at a level that went beyond common sense even in Caladon, the world’s greatest swordsman.

“Where did you learn magic?”

When Kal-El asked with a gesture of his chin, Harang thought for a moment and then answered honestly.

“I taught myself magic, and I consulted instructor Lauren Chagan’s textbook for actual combat techniques.”

“Well, self-study… … ?!”

Some blood relatives who had learned magic touched their noses or covered their mouths as if they were anxious.

It is said that it is difficult to learn swordsmanship without a teacher, but learning magic without a teacher is close to impossible.

The basics of swordsmanship begin with training your physical strength and holding and swinging a sword, but magic begins with studying complex math processes and understanding mana.

Moreover, even if you were born with natural talent, understood mana from the beginning, and studied complex formulas on your own, the process of creating a magic circle for the first time would never be possible without the help of a teacher. Drawing complex runes and formulas into perfect orbits and activating magical phenomena is something that an aspiring young wizard cannot do alone.

There are historically only a few known cases of people learning magic on their own.

There were about ten people, including the wizard who first introduced magic to the world.

“… … It must be a lie. “If I reveal this to the head of the family, my teacher may be at a disadvantage.”

As one member of the Presbyterian Church opened his mouth, the other elders also opened their mouths one after another.

“However, if Duke Kal-El puts his mind to it, he will be able to find it quickly. I don’t think I’m such a stupid kid that I don’t know that, but… … .”

“That is correct. Moreover, Semi-Folden Harang lived alone in a corner of the palace from the time she was born until she was seven years old, and after completing her certification ceremony, she lived in the White Night Castle.”

“Our eyes and ears are everywhere in the White Night Castle. If there is a magic teacher, there is no way we wouldn’t know, right?”

As the four members of the Presbyterian Council helped each other make inferences one by one, they came to believe that Harang’s words were true.

Where and from whom would you learn magic in the White Night Castle?

Lauren Chegan?

If that author were to waste his time, he wouldn’t teach magic to trainees, or even to blood relatives.

“I’m self-taught… … “It must mean that you did not receive an imprint from your teacher.”

“Yes, I didn’t really feel the need.”

An ordinary wizard inherits his teacher’s unique magic in the form of an imprint, and sets foot in the world of magic for the first time… … Harang did not have such a process.

Even without it, he already knew how to freely use magic.

“Then it is done. “It is enough to say that no trainee in the Midnight City had a teacher other than Kaladun.”

The judgment ended like that.

Since it was revealed that Harang did not complete his graduation assignment with someone else’s help, there was no reason to continue the judgment of the blood world any further.

“Magic is also the youngest grandchild’s power, and using it is not against the rules. So, there are no objections, right?”

All blood relatives fell silent at Duke Kal-El’s words.

It is difficult to develop combat magic and swordsmanship at the same time.

That is commonly known common sense.

However, the bold youngest grandson of 14 shattered all such common sense, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. What more is there to say?

Damn-!!

The referee rang the bell and declared.

“Paul Calladorn, not guilty.”

Eventually, Judge Jerry, who had plunged the sword of judgment into the ground, stepped back, and the blood relatives paid attention to Duke Kal-El.

He slowly looked around the audience.

Some blood relatives who met his gaze hurriedly lowered their heads, while others felt intimidated and frowned slightly, but remained upright.

“All blood relatives gathered here will refrain from disclosing publicly about my youngest grandchild’s magic for the time being.”

To summarize, it means, ‘It’s okay to talk about it with close people, but if you spread it around, I’ll kill you.’

The reason why speaking was not completely banned was because the story about Harang using magic was bound to spread within a few years anyway.

Wouldn’t it be better, then, to use your youngest grandchild’s extraordinary abilities in a much more ‘valuable and useful way’ and then reveal them to the world?

“also… … “I will officially appoint my youngest grandson, Harang Paul Caladorn, who successfully completed his graduation mission, as ‘Poldan Knight.’”

Receiving the investiture ceremony as a Foldon Knight at the Blood World Judgment Table.

It could not have been this dishonorable, but no one here thought it was a ‘disgrace’.

After all, Duke Kal-El Paul Caladun personally drew his own sword and ordained him.

Normal investigative ceremonies for direct blood relatives were held on a grander scale than this, but there would be nothing more honorable for a pureblood than Duke Kal-El personally holding the investiture ceremony in the presence of 50 blood relatives.

Duke Kal-El, who placed the sword on Harang’s shoulders, put the sword away and spoke.

“Foldon Knight, harang. It is true that you broke the rules, even if only in a small way. “I will punish you separately for this.”

After finishing his message, Duke Kal-El gestured and the referee took a step forward.

“This concludes the judgment of the blood world. “I ask that all blood relatives return to their respective positions.”

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the blood relatives stood up from their seats and began to exit through the doors they had entered through.

Most of their expressions were not good.

I can’t help but feel good.

In order to judge the arrogant adopted son, he took time out of his day to return to the palace, but didn’t he end up giving him a chance to shine?

“Interesting, interesting… … .”

“Interesting, man!”

“Hmm… … .”

The four members of the Presbyterian Council also left the judgment hall, each with different thoughts, and only three people remained.

Duke Kal-El, Judge Jeri, Harang.

“Come closer, my youngest grandchild.”

At Kal-El’s call, Harang approached him and knelt down.

There were only three of us left now, but since it was an official event, we had to be polite at all times.

“Raise your head.”

“… … .”

Harang broke into a slight cold sweat.

‘what?’

Even though he proudly proved everything, Duke Kal-El’s voice did not get any better.

Rather, it felt like I was a little angry. She slowly raised her head and met his eyes, and it was just as she felt.

For some reason, Duke Kal-El was angry.

‘I thought it went well… … .’

Was it not at all?

“Magic is your secret, and it could also be used as a strategic weapon. “Don’t you think I revealed it too quickly?”

It was a valid question. Because it was something that Harang had always been thinking about.

He slowly turned his gaze to look at referee Jerry. When Duke Kal-El gestured, the referee stepped back, and now only two were left.

Harang slowly stood up and stretched his left hand into the air.

Then, recite the spell.

“… … Burn.”

Grumbling!!

In an instant, a white flame ignites and burns on my left hand. There was black in the flames, as if there was a shadow, and Duke Kal-El knew this very well.

“It’s the proverb of the black flame… … .”

“yes. I thought that if this was discovered, I could be in big trouble, so I tried to cover it up by learning magic. “I thought that would be enough to excuse me even if I used the ‘Dragon Sword.’”

Dragon sword.

Duke Kal-El, who thought for a moment after hearing those words, nodded.

“… … Yes, is that also the case? “That’s great.”

Did you praise the fact that you can use the dragon sword?

no. It was a compliment to Harang’s behavior that was so perfect that it was inappropriate for his age. Considering that children of Harang’s age were anxious to show off when they reached a certain level of achievement or learned a new skill, he showed patience and social awareness that were not childlike. , I was able to see that even the judgment was very good.

“When did you learn magic?”

“On the day of the certification ceremony 7 years ago… … When I held the holy sword Terandal, I learned about the dragon sword. From that day on, I obtained a magic book, studied magic whenever I had time, and achieved 1-star achievement when I turned 10.”

“You’re late.”

“… … ?”

What does that mean? For a moment, Harang did not understand what Kal-El meant.

Duke Kal-El turned his back and gave an expression that said he was not happy at all.

Only then, belatedly, did Harang understand what he meant by being late.

‘It is said that achieving 1 star at the age of 10 is only at the level of a genius in the magic powerhouse Ainglass… … .’

Even for ordinary people who only delve into magic, it is not easy to achieve 1 star at the age of 10.

However, Duke Kal-El did not care about ordinary people in the first place, and the fact that Harang’s magic was delayed because he was learning the sword was not a consideration at all.

“If you learn something, you must reach the peak. “In the future, when you ascend to the throne, the world will find fault with your shortcomings.”

You might not know it if you haven’t learned it at all, but since you have learned it, always reach the peak.

That was Duke Kal-El’s idea.

“sorry. I just… … Because magic was considered only an auxiliary means… … .”

The corners of Duke Kal-El’s mouth slightly turned up at Harang’s excuse.

“You’re lying.”

My heart sank. Duke Kal-El’s wise eyes seemed to see right through Harang.

“Wasn’t it fun when you used magic?”

Harang lowered his head. As if she felt sorry.

“… … Yes, it was fun.”

“Then it is done. If you start learning magic, make sure you become the best at it. That is your first punishment.”

“… … .”

It’s hard to become the best in swordsmanship alone, but you want to be the best in magic too?

It was truly an aggravated punishment, but somehow Harang felt that Duke Kal-El had received proper recognition for the first time.

For some reason, I calmed my racing heart and carefully looked up at him.

“For me, about learning magic… … “I thought I would be scolded.”

“Is there any reason to scold you? Magic is your fighting power. “There is no royal road to becoming strong.”

Good luck! Grumbling!!

“… … !!”

As Duke Kal-El secretly released his mana, flames began to burn in the braziers that were installed like ornaments on dozens of pillars.

“Once you reach the end, whether it’s magic or swordsmanship, it has no meaning.”

“ah… … .”

It is not that surprising for a warrior who has reached a high level to swing a sword containing flames or use a spear resembling a thunderbolt.

However, standing still in an empty environment, creating sparks and blowing wind… Can it really be called a ‘martial art’?

‘When you reach the level of 10 stars… … Is something like that possible? No, not at that level… … .’

Harang looked at Duke Kal-El with eyes full of awe. Seven years ago, when I first saw him, I thought he was like a tall mountain.

It was now even higher than then. I thought I was catching up little by little, but I wasn’t the only one growing.

Before he knew it, Duke Kal-El was getting closer to the ‘state of the great sacred throne’, which was said to have been achieved only by the legendary warrior Caladun.

“Then I guess I’ll have to impose a second punishment. “Please put down your sword for the next three months and go into probation.”

“… … .”

You call putting down your sword and resting a punishment. Indeed, this is a family with something tightly twisted.

Harang raised his head. For some reason, I felt like I knew why he was giving me three months.

“If only I could stay disciplined…” … “I want to rest quietly in a place with good air, a flowing river, and the smell of grass.”

How many blood relatives would dare to so boldly make a counteroffer to the subject of being punished directly by Duke Kal-El?

To put it bluntly, there is no one.

Duke Kal-El raised the corners of his mouth and said, as if he didn’t like his youngest grandson’s bold behavior.

“Okay, there’s a place for you.”
