The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 29: Three turning points

Whoa!

The sleeping Zeonly raised his voice.

Oh man, I was completely passed out. Ouch.

After rolling out of the super soft water ball, which was squishy and difficult to get up from, Zeonly fell to the ground once and stood up.

I didnt think Id fall into a sleep so deep that Id seriously lose consciousness.

I thought it would be just fine to doze off.

I really didnt expect it.

Looking at the sky, it was still blue.

It seemed that I hadnt slept that long.

Did you sleep well?

Aside from Kunon who asked, Milica and Darios eyes were quite white. Its as if theyre saying, What is this guy doing?

Well, Zeonly doesnt care about such trivial things.

Hey kid, youve got some time to yourself. Did you give up on breaking the wall?

Kunon was at the table, apparently chatting with Milica.

Zeonly nonchalantly rejoined the table and intercepted the childrens tea time.

And the earthen wall of the test still remains.

Oh, can I tear it down now?

Huh? Oh, go ahead. If you can do it

When Kunon turned his hand toward the wall, a bubble spread out on the wall, and the whole thing was covered in small bubbles.

Its called Washing Bubbles.

It is the magic of cleaning that is intended to wash something to make fine bubbles and bring dirt to the surface.

"Huh.

He drank the tea made by the make-up wearing maidservant and sniffed it with a happy smile on his face.

Did you understand the intent of the challenge?

Its probably a wall that becomes extremely brittle if it absorbs more water than its allowed to, right? I could tell right away because it was as dry as a loaf of bread that was intended to break teeth.

The purpose of a loaf of bread is not to break teeth, but youre generally right.

So, why did you choose Washing Bubbles? Youre good at magic, right? Youre good at changing the shape of water balls, arent you? I thought it would take some trial and failure until finally breaking it.

The number of trials and failures would lead directly to the destruction of the mud wall.

In short, its a wall you can break down anyway if you dont give up.

Id heard that Kunon hadnt yet mastered any magic that could be used for offense, so Id prepared a wall that could be broken by anything other than direct attack or impact.

However, I made it so that the amount of water needed would be strong enough that Kunon would probably have to use his total magical power to the very limit.

If he had given up, he really would not have been able to destroy it.

I thought it would be easier this way.

As soon as Kunon said this, the top of the earthen wall began to crumble with bubbles.

Each bubble that eroded into the soil trapped a small amount of soil and separated it from the wall.

The earthen wall itself was considered as dirt, and the earthen wall was being washed away.

Easy, man- thats nice. I dont like the way youre acting like an idiot, but its not so bad when you are this smart.

It is a magic that suits the situation and the target. A sorcerer must be able to see it accurately. If you want to show off your power, let the idiots with fire emblems do the shooting for nothing.

Then will you make me your apprentice? Yeah!

Wait! I havent agreed to it yet!

But you will, wont you? I did my part, in a smart way.

Damn, I cant help it.

"If you are too honestly pleased, you may want to rebel in vain, but a promise is a promise."

Milica, Dario, and the heavily makeup-wearing maidservant were all staring at me as if to say, dont argue anymore.

Im not afraid of them, but I dont want to get in trouble later.

You are my apprentice from now on, Kunon. You should be happy, youre definitely the luckiest kid in the world today.

Zeonly Finroll.

This encounter was an important turning point for Kunon, but also for himself.

After this period, his name became widely known for his successive achievements.

And then

Hahaha, the luckiest in the world, thats for sure. Now that Master has been found, and Her Highness Milica is next to me, Ill be punished if I wish for more.

Oh, Kunon, youre so

Im sure you understand, but just so you know. Im putting my master above my future wife.

What?

Milica raises her voice, which Ive never heard before, and looks to Zeonly.

It sounded like the voice of a demon that had suddenly leaked out from the depths of hell, Kunon thought.

The maidservant had told him that angry women were terrifying, and she was right.

Ive never seen Milica angry before, and she is no exception

No, for Kunon, she is not an exception.

Youll have to wait until youre older to fall in love.

As long as he is my apprentice, Ill eventually send Kunon to the magic school. I have a lot of work to do before then. There are countless things I need to teach him, and I need him to accompany me in my experiments. I dont have time to slack off.

In the first place, what are you going to do? Her Highness Milica.

What about?

I dont know if its okay for you to just watch your boyfriend while hes working himself to death. Dont you think you should do what you have to do?

Hes my apprentice. Hes going to grow, hes going to get ahead, and hes going to have a hell of a track record.

You cant tell how long your boyfriend will be around.Eventually, there will be a lot of women who want Kunon, but not as much as you. The Ninth Princess.

Uhm!

Milica gritted her teeth and swallowed her rebuttal.

As soon as he told me, I thought of the faces of the women who wanted Kunon my own sisters.

Milica is the ninth princess.

Her position in the royal family is very weak.

She is also unable to win the war of information in the royal castle.

When my sisters really wanted to take Kunon the ninth princesss wife would be taken away without much resistance for sure.

It is as Zeonly says.

Kunon has been making a name for himself as a sorcerer, and now hes grown up to become the apprentice of the royal sorcerer.

On the other hand, what about myself?

She has received the education that is the duty of a noble, but that is all.

She is not recognized by anyone, she just lives as the ninth princess who is in a weak position, does not try to get anything, and cannot go to school or have an escort.

-Thats what I thought.

I realized that Kunon was already not worthy of me.

When I was a little girl, I ran away from the pain of being Kunons bride.

But now its the opposite.

Kunon is leaving Milica behind and going ahead of her.

I hadnt noticed it because he would look back at me from time to time, but the distance between us was already wide open.

Enough so that someone can get in between.

Its so easy to get in if you want to.

Master, please dont tease Her Highness.

I dont remember teasing her. In fact, Im cheering for her. You two are perfect for each other.

Dont say that. You really like to tease girls, dont you? Master seems to be that type.

What?

And then you realize its too late, right? Because you are cynical. Youre the type of person whos mean to the girl you like and someone else takes her, right? Youre clumsy with kindness.

I was a little frustrated that this was the ramblings of a child with no foundation, but in retrospect, he was slightly right.

And so ended Zeonlys first visit.

A turning point for Kunon.

A breakthrough in Zeonlys experiments and research.

And.

we have to do something.

The Ninth Princess Milica Huglias heart was set on fire.
