My Villains Episode 066

18. Erinar Radhakaline (2)

•••why me?

under! Even if there is no case, it is oily resin, it is all… .

•••okay. You promised?

Hmm, first of all… .

I am ‘Erenar Radhakalin’ from the mysterious island, ‘Tirin Mel’.

Ellen? That’s the nickname my teacher gave me. Because of the strong dialect, I became Eren instead of Eren.

To add about my hometown, Ti Lin Mel’s ‘La-Palais Palace’ is my home. At this level, you know that I’m different from your average wizard, right?

You don’t know the Radhakaline family? What about ‘Great Mage Radhakaline’?

…You really don’t know anything. Radha Kalin was an ancient great wizard who founded the Palace of La-Palais, and the Radha Kalin family are his descendants. In short, it means that the blood of an archmage flows through my body.

Although I was born with such a great lineage, that doesn’t mean my life has always been happy.

Well, to be exact, I was almost always unhappy. Because my happy memories are so few that I can count them with one hand.

Could you please stop looking at me like that? Even so, puberty ended in the evening. Because children who grow up without parents grow up quickly.

Actually, it would be a bit unfair to say that I grew up as an orphan even though I had no parents. It may not be of any help in life, but I had quite a few relatives. There was also a teacher who took care of me like a child… .

So, not having parents is just one of the many misfortunes in my life. Nothing more, nothing less.

Other misfortunes? uh… It’s a bit long to explain.

La-Palais Palace is the cradle, training center, and university for the magicians of the ‘Elemental School’.

Yes, that’s right, elemental school. Middleworld’s oldest magic school magazine. It is also the best.

Naturally, the children of the Radhakaline family also lived in the palace, gaining knowledge and learning magic. Usually, they hone their exceptional talents and become wizards who represent their generation.

I’m a bit of a special case. Among Radhakalin’s descendants, he is a descendant with particularly strong blood.

When I was just starting to walk, the best wizards in the palace, including my great-uncles and uncles, began teaching me.

Everyone was amazed at my talent. I am blessed with exceptional learning ability, incredible concentration, and, most importantly, magical power that is unprecedented in all times. A seven-year-old kid with more mana than a magician who received a card. It would be strange if you weren’t surprised.

The entire palace was excited every day. They made a fuss about it being the birth of an archmage who would succeed Radhakaline. My cousins ​​and peers all regarded me as an object of envy. Looking back, I think that was the prime time of my life.

Yeah, it’s funny to me too. Seven years old is the prime of life.

Anyway, strange signs began to appear… nine years old? Ten years old? I think it was about that time.

Of course, even at that time, magic words, spell pronunciation and vocalization, magic transformation, beast seal, mana guidance and concentration… Anyway, everything was the best among my peers. It’s only natural considering my talent.

But – everything else was completed, but strangely the spell wasn’t engraved. In short, it means that you can’t use magic.

Of course, it wasn’t a big deal at the time. It is rare for a person to carve a spell before the age of ten.

Because of my high talent, people’s expectations are ahead of me, so it’s not strange that I can’t engrave spells at the age of nine or ten.

But since I couldn’t engrave the spell until I got to thirteen or fourteen, it started to become a problem from then on?

People’s expectations and interest turned into ridicule and contempt. My cousins ​​and peers who envied me also started gossiping about me behind my back.

-Not under the archmage’s legitimate hand, but under the sasaeng.

-I heard you were cursed by God?

-I noticed you when you were arrogant. I received a thousand punishment.

-What do you do if you have a lot of magic power and are smart? If you can’t use magic, what’s the difference between you and a serf’s daughter?

She says all kinds of bullshit, especially ‘Ollide’, and she tears her mouth off – hmm, anyway.

And when I turned fifteen, I was completely alone. Thirty people of his age left the idiot ‘Rampi’ at the end.

Everyone succeeded in engraving the spell.

Then, to commemorate it, we held a celebration party in the garden. I guess they wanted to confirm and kill others. They wanted to stamp me as a failure student.

•••Actually, I actually thought of one or two of them as real friends. But it turned out that they had secretly developed a sense of inferiority and hostility towards me since they were young. He smiled and comforted me – it was a very fun party.

If that gaze is out of sympathy, would you please get rid of it right away? Do you want to tear out your eyeballs?

Anyway, it wasn’t just the kids. Even the adults who were aiming for the honor of being the master wizard’s teacher began to avoid me one by one. Everyone treated me like a failure. If he had been Dunjae from the beginning, he wouldn’t have been treated like that.

Of course, even without those spells, I was an excellent person. When I was in pain and crying, I would rather focus on training or meditation. I didn’t stop studying either. Even if it wasn’t magic, there was a lot of knowledge in the palace that could be learned.

… … what? Well, how do you know that?

No, it’s common for everyone to feel depressed when they’re alone!

Did everyone know? how?

•••Seeing you washing your pillowcase and seeing your puffy eyes? Oh, I understand, so stop. I wanted to die.

I don’t like it, I’ll stop.

•••Phew, good.

As I got older, more people left me, but not everyone left. Only my true teacher, ‘Jema Le’, did not do that. No matter what anyone said, they believed that I would become a great wizard.

Did I say this earlier? The happy memories of my life can be counted on one hand. The person who gave me those precious moments as a gift is my teacher.

On the outside, he looked like a clumsy and eccentric old man, but his heart was warmer than anyone else’s. On my birthday, she made sauté with guinea fowl and lemon. I’m sorry about the cake filled with sugar. How much did I say?

Ah- um. are you okay.

It’s hard to say that I was happy, but my life at the palace was fulfilling in its own way. I guess clearing my mind, meditating, and learning new knowledge suited my nature.

However, my life in the palace came to an end on my seventeenth birthday.

Master was researching my problem. You studied cases where a spell could not be engraved even if all conditions were met.

But you didn’t really get any results. Alchemy and herbalism were the best in Middle World, but in other fields… You weren’t that special.

And since I didn’t have a wide range of relationships, there was no one I could ask for help. So at some point you started dabbling in banned books.

Oh, of course you didn’t do anything bad. Master was an elder of the palace, and he had full access to the palace’s banned books. Since he studied with my great-grandfather, he is at the highest level in terms of distribution.

And finally it’s my birthday.

As he does every year, Master cooked the food. While we were sharing the dish in Master’s laboratory, a thief came by surprise.

Of course he wasn’t an ordinary petty thief. What kind of crazy person would think of breaking into a palace full of wizards?

His name is ‘Sights’, he is a cruel battle mage and a notorious thief. He’s also so mean that he attacked an old man over eighty years old.

Master desperately fought against him, but it wasn’t enough. After fatally wounding the teacher, he ran away with the palace’s banned book.

What’s even more surprising is what happens next.

As if they had been waiting for me, my uncle and his followers showed up and accused me of being a thief. They say I stole a banned book to lift the curse on my body.

Of course it was nonsense. My uncle wanted to kill Master and me. If you kill me, Rada Kalin’s only enemy, he will become your enemy instead. Maybe it was my uncle’s fault that brought in Saitz.

But our teacher did not suffer that lightly. You weren’t able to react properly because you were surprised by Saitz, but an old wizard is an extremely dangerous person.

Master activated the ‘Magic Circle of Expulsion’ that was hung in the laboratory. Everyone except me and Master were transported to the outside of the island.

Then, just before he passed away, he pushed me into the ‘magic circle of escape.’ He told us to cross the narrow sea… .

Phew, this is the end. Okay?

Oh, that far? •••Hmm, I understand.

As Master said, I decided to cross the Narrow Sea.

Eyland, unlike Tirin Mel, is quite a rough place. Finding a reliable ship was not an ordinary task. That was why it took three months to get on the boat.

And… Actually, it was my first time out of the palace, so it took me some time to get used to it. It wasn’t easy to overcome the mental shock… .

After many twists and turns, I got on a boat to South Harbor. That’s right, that’s where I met Poi for the first time.

First Impressions? He was just a jerk.

It was disgusting to see a guy as big as a mountain shaking after getting hit by a few arrows. I felt like an idiot to get angry after losing the potion.

•••When did I, I, say that? I just, uh, thought it was worth a look.

… … What, your preference? There are degrees of taste, I don’t think.

No, I’m not angry, it’s actually like this, right? It would be a lie if I said Poi was ugly. Although he looks shabby, he is a rare handsome man. Especially when you smile… .

Anyway, after getting off the ship… Yes, I got help from Foy.

Despite his appearance, Poi acted like a merchant or a clown and saved me from the soldiers. Of course I should be grateful… but I couldn’t afford it. At that time, it was very, very… I was angry.

It’s not just because I was stabbed by a spear and trampled on. Of course, it was a very unpleasant experience… I was more upset about losing the wand than that. It was the most precious item given to me by my teacher.

I remember the guy who stabbed me back then, the guy who stepped on the back of my hand, the guy who broke my wand, and the guy who used his dirty tongue. If I get the chance, I will definitely get revenge. certainly.

•••Okay, that’s enough about that.

I got help, but I couldn’t trust Poi. In the three months since I left the palace, I have met a lot of trash people of all kinds.

Of course, those guys weren’t that big of a threat. Because they are so stupid that they don’t recognize wizards. If I swung a wand and cut off a limb, I would often beg or run away with tears and snot.

I thought Poi was like that too. He’s approaching me because he wants something.

In fact, if someone who doesn’t know much sees it… Poi’s impression is not so warm. I suspected that they might be targeting my magical abilities, or my belongings, or, um, my body.

Yeah, Foy wasn’t that kind of person.

Of course, it was annoying how they acted like we were friends even though we had only known each other for a while, and constantly scolded and nagged me, and treated me like a child even though we were not much of an age difference.

still… Pulling me in without hesitation, holding me tight to prevent me from running away, and protecting me as if it were a given… , gave me a sort of, um, sense of security. It’s the same feeling you get in the palace, or rather, in Master’s laboratory.

It’s really strange. I can’t believe I felt this way about someone I only knew by name.

It’s not wrong, right? Poi rarely talks about himself. Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any guesses.

Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll realize this right away, but Foy is by no means an ordinary mercenary.

Poi knows how to read. The handwriting is stiff but elegant, and the accent of the ‘Razil’ region can be seen in the way he speaks. I saw you recently and it seemed like you speak Ghelan fluently. He must have had quite an education.

Moreover, he has a physique that is far above average and his body is extremely well-trained. Treat the horse as if it were your own body, and naturally use blood manipulation techniques to fight. He is not intimidated when dealing with nobles, and always takes the lead when going into battle.

okay. It’s clear that Poi has blue blood flowing through his veins. If you don’t reveal your last name or don’t pray, you might be an apostate or a fugitive who committed a crime.

Of course, I didn’t ask Poi directly. Poi probably has a lot of questions about me, but he doesn’t ask those questions at all. It must be some kind of consideration for me. I decided to do the same.

Actually, it doesn’t really matter anymore. Whatever it is, Poi… Poi is for me… .

•••Poy still seems like a jerk.

You give your back to others without any sense of caution. How about casually saying something unfamiliar like ‘Hide behind me’?

Even when I don’t want to do anything, he’s always next to me. They stick around to the point of annoying me, asking me if I’m hungry, if I’m in any pain, or if I’m bored.

No matter how annoyed you are, how much you swear, and how much you push away, they suddenly show up and give you a trivial gift, with a proud expression on your face. How bad is your head? You’re a fool who jumps into the flames without any solution.

•••okay. I don’t even know what this is. Even though I meditate and reflect on myself whenever I have time, I still don’t know why I do this.

That’s right, it’s a lie. Because I am the one who knows me best.

And, how could you not like it?

He protects me without expecting anything in return, giving up his life to protect me, pampering me as if he were the most precious person in the world, sometimes looking at me with eyes that seem to overflow with something, and coming to me in the darkest moments of my life to be a light, but how… How can you not like it?

so… So I was unbearably angry.

Deep night fell, and Poi didn’t come back until dark dawn, and no matter how much I covered my ears, I could still hear disgusting noises, and Poi, who always accepted my annoyance, seemed like he was going to vomit at any moment. I crumpled my face and laughed as the dirty farm girl showed me the flimsy ring, and I found it funny that I couldn’t even throw away a piece of grass after seeing it. So I was angry.

•••Yeah, I’m not crazy.

Was I so crazy that when Poi came to save me, I thought it would be better if we died together?

When Poi hugged me. I was happier that Poi was crying because of me than in those warm, crying arms. Although it’s a pity that I didn’t get to see that with my own eyes, I felt like Poi would live with regrets for the rest of her life because of me, and I thought she would remember me forever, so, that’s why I was happy. Is this sane?

•••I don’t know, I don’t know. Why did I become like this? Me, I… I don’t want it to end like this.

I want to walk side by side and talk. I want to ride a horse together along the open beach, walk through the autumn wheat fields, and watch the sunset. I want to show off the growing number of orders every day, teach him how to read the constellations, and ask him what his favorite flowers are. I want to have my hair combed, I want to receive a pretty flower ring, I want to fall asleep in your wide arms and kiss you on the lips when I wake up in the morning. I promised, I promised. Let me see Poi.

It’s okay if it’s just for a little while, so let me see it one last time, just once. please please… .

what?

•••So, now?

Now, wait a minute. That’s a different story! Wait, I’m not ready yet,
