Chapter 16 Not a Person, but a Tool Echidna Philiaz. Age: Unknown. Though originally part of the Philiaz line of Witches, she was expelled by her sisters for ideological differences. Reason for expulsion: Obsessed with good-looking guys and falls in love at first sight way too easily. She had messy black hair, dark circles that made her look like she wore goth makeup, black lipstick, and skin so pale it seemed like it had never seen sunlight. She gave off the typical eerie vibe of a witch. If she…-

Chapter 15 Just Do What You’re Good At Jed briefly averted his gaze at Ferda’s words. It was clear that the “disloyal servant” Ferda mentioned referred to that young girl, Ruri, who had been following him around like a shadow. Given that his profession relied heavily on reading the room, Jed could at least figure out where the killing intent was directed. ‘No matter how I look at it, the killing intent isn’t directed at me, but at that guy…’ It wasn’t a misunderstanding. In fact,…

Chapter 14 The Swallow Trap Vernel was often told he was a “my way” kind of person. Because of this attitude, he hadn’t made a single friend within the small confines of the academy, and his status had plummeted from a prodigy to barely better than a dropout. But even Vernel, with all his stubbornness, couldn’t help but feel utterly powerless in front of the man standing before him. ‘An overwhelming aura…’ He felt pulled into the depths of an abyss by those eyes. Yet, those eyes…

Chapter 12 A Perfect Opportunity Human memory is finite and unstable. But just as one doesn’t forget how to breathe, there’s always something that inevitably remains remembered. In Ferda’s case, it was the object of his hatred. Not just names, but a list of those he wanted to hate and take revenge on—a list of deaths. To hate them, he dug into their achievements. To take revenge, he carefully memorized their flaws. ‘Thinking about it now, it was completely absurd.’ The…

Chapter 11 “Just Feel It Again.” There’s a story about blind men and an elephant. To sum it up, three blind men were asked to touch different parts of an elephant and describe what it was. Of course, all of their answers were different. The moral of the story is that you can’t judge the whole based on just a part. However, there are times when something is so clear and obvious that just seeing a part of it is enough to grasp the whole. For Ferda, that moment came when he…

Chapter 10 “Dragon’s Breath.” A month passed. With just three days left until the engagement ceremony with Princess Valdrova, Ruri pointed at paper and a pen with a face full of discontent. “Write a vow for the engagement ceremony, please.” “Don’t they already have something for that? Some kind of template?” “They do… but…” Ruri swallowed a sigh, holding it back from escaping her throat like a dragon’s breath. “Since this is an unofficial engagement, the…

Chapter 9 “Like a Deep Lake.” After Tesalos Welcher died, all the lords boarded their carriages and left. The only ones remaining in the assembly hall were Ruri and Ferda. “You were truly remarkable.” Looking up at Ferda, Ruri clapped her small hands. “You’ve clearly demonstrated who holds the upper hand today. Incredible. Your political skills are beyond artistic—an actual masterpiece.” Then, with both hands, she raised her thumbs, performing what one might call a…

Chapter 8 “Who Will Bell the Cat?” In the world of magic, hierarchy is determined by circles. Unlike the noble world, where status and rank reign supreme, the mage world is one of the few professions where pure skill defines your place in the pecking order. And for Tesalos Welcher, today was the most humiliating day of his life. “Decent enough.” ‘Decent? What the hell does he mean by “decent”? Is he saying a 4th Circle mage is just mediocre to him?!’ Among mages, your title…

Chapter 7 “I’m Curious Too.” Ferda, sitting in the guest room and studying, looked up with a puzzled expression. “Meet the lords?” “Yes.” But Ruri nodded firmly. “Do you know why our master is called Valdrova the ‘Duke King’?” “I know. She killed the Black Dragon, Godwin, and was granted the title by the Arken Empire.” The Black Dragon, Godwin. The Aspect of Darkness, the source of all evil. He was pure malevolence itself, a being who had sown chaos across…
