‘Were they really inseparable since morning?’
Kaisley swayed his tail low.
Watching the two wasn’t bad, but it didn’t sit well with him that Tariche seemed to have forgotten about the preliminary assignment.
“You’re here.”
A man who came up to the top floor of the clock tower said to Kaisley’s back.
It was Rix, Kaisley’s fellow instructor in the Magic Tower.
“What are you doing pretending to be a cat?”
“Meow.”
“Don’t pretend to be a cat.”
Rix approached Kaisley and took something out of his pocket.
Kaisley made a grumbling sound as he looked at the item that came out with a sneaky glance.
“Why is a magical shackle being rolled around on the street?”
“I don’t know.”
“Be careful. Even though the participants are students, there are nobles from various countries everywhere. The examiners are the same.”
“Got it.”
Kaisley gave a soulless response.
He thought he would only hear with one ear. Rix put the shackle back into his pocket, attaching importance only to the fact that he had given advice.
Then he made the recently heard news a topic of conversation.
“Did you hear? According to the top owner active in the Western Continent, a new force has emerged.”
“What force?”
“A religion. Serving an ancient god who governs time.”
“Strong?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then I’m not interested.”
Kaisley made a nonchalant reply. If it wasn’t a force threatening the Magic Tower, it wasn’t interesting.
Moreover, her attention was solely focused on one place now.
“I should have submitted an assignment by practicing like Roadwick. I wanted to fight with Tariche… Should I ask if the assignment can be changed now?”
“Don’t even think about it. Do you have time to blow up the city?”
While swordsmanship might require blowing up the city, the range of effectiveness of magic was different. If Kaisley had a wide-area magic that Tariche Roadwick knew, for example.
Cexcelphone’s history, which had been carried on under the pretext, was expected to end this year.
“Stop it. Unconditionally.”
Until the day Kaisley left for the city of Cexcelphone, the words of the struggling Magic Tower Master, Nox, to Rix regarding Kaisley’s aftermath of a close accident were as follows:
“Stop it. What Kaisley is trying to do.”
This was also the reason why Nox personally assigned Rix as Kaisley’s assistant instructor.
“Rix, I’ve made up my mind.”
“…About what?”
“I’ll raise Tariche.”
Why would you raise her…?
Of course, it meant raising her as a disciple.
If Blake Roadwick heard about it, there would be trouble.
His cherished daughter falling for Kaisley, the genius troublemaker of the Magic Tower.
About a month and a half ago.
When Deon expressed his intention to take on the position of an examiner in Cexcelphone.
“It’s an honor. The heir of the Roadwick family is coming as an examiner.”
The chairman, upon hearing Deon’s voice through the communication device, showed a hint of surprise.
He had sent a letter expecting to be rejected. However, Derkedion Roadwick agreed.
[But I have conditions.]A calm and cool voice. Even through the communication device, one could discern Derkedion’s personality.
If he said he wouldn’t accept the conditions, he would withdraw his intention to become an examiner immediately.
The chairman responded smartly.
“Please, go ahead.”
After hearing Derkedion’s conditions, the chairman, with an embarrassed tone, asked Deon.
“You’re going to interfere in the contestant’s competition?”
[Is it possible?]Tariche Roadwick.
Although she hadn’t received an application yet, the chairman was well aware that she intended to apply to Cexcelphone this time.
Derkedion’s condition was to intervene at the moment when Tariche Roadwick’s life was in danger during the competition.
As the contestants were highly skilled, there were casualties in Cexcelphone every year.
However, the competition belonged solely to the participants. Deon’s request was unreasonable.
“The intention for your younger sister is understandable, but that is not a matter we can accommodate on our end.”
The other side of the communication was quiet. As the silence lasted longer than expected, the principal became anxious.
It was regrettable to let go of a big fish that had already fallen into his hands. Would he miss Derkedion like this?
“However, under the judgment of the examiner, it is possible to stop the match when the life of a contestant is in danger.”
If the match is stopped, the contestant is disqualified. If later the examiner also concludes that the intervention was not justified, the examiner must step down.
“Is that acceptable?”
[It is acceptable.]Relieved by the immediate response, the chairman thought about whether this was the right decision.
He recalled Derkedion Roadwick’s information when selecting the examiner. The notes contained a peculiar remark about his character, ‘Terribly cherishes his younger sister.’
With an uneasy feeling, the chairman emphasized one more competition rule to Deon.
“However, the examiner must strictly follow the competition rules. A representative example is that contestants and examiners are not allowed to have private meetings or conversations. There are no exceptions, even for family relationships.”
He didn’t explicitly say it, but he meant not to privately meet with his younger sister during the competition.
The chairman told Deon with a pointed remark.
“And if you violate the rules, you must resign from the examiner position immediately.”
And now.
Deon was flipping breadcrumbs in front of me, looking at Tariche with a bewildered expression and pleading eyes.
“Oppa.”
Tariche dodged Deon’s reaching hand.
Then she said to Deon.
“Don’t touch me.”
Whish.
With Tariche’s calm words, Deon’s heart sank to the floor.
