The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

“We’re sorry.”

The royal court sorcerers and Kunon, who had been heavily angered by the knights and civil servants who were rushing in, apologized firmly to the biggest victim, the maid who had screamed.

As they watched from the outside, they had no idea how it would look from inside the castle.

They even greeted the many people who came running from the castle with a nonchalant “What’s going on?”

They apologized when they heard that Kunon’s “water doll” had caused quite a panic in the castle because it looked like a jump from the castle.

Rondimond, the royal wizard commissioner himself, announced on the spot that their salary would be reduced, and a settlement was reached with the reduced salary going directly to him as compensation.

After the situation was settled in this way, the soldiers and knights left the royal court magicians who apologized flatly and pulled out.

-The gaze of the knight who caught Leisha and Kunon in the “big slip incident” this morning was painful. Well, Kunon couldn’t see, so he wouldn’t know. It was well received by Leisha.

“…… Oh dear. I think we got a little carried away.”

Rondimond breathed a sigh of relief.

“How far can you fly this thing? You’ve never done it before? Let’s give it a try.”, he was the one who suggested it.

“You just can’t fly people…… It was fun, but…”

Leisha let out a sigh as well.

“Faster! Faster!” She was the one who encouraged him to go faster….

“I’ve been told off twice in one morning….”

Kunon, the main source of the problem, also let out a sigh.

My first time in a royal castle, and twice in one morning.

If it was once, it might still end with a warning, but not twice. Two times is definitely a lot.

I’m sure my father will punish me later.

It was very depressing.

“So, what are you going to do with him?”

One of the royal court sorcerers who is also losing confidence….. is the sorcerer Viktor, who asked Rondimond about the work with Kunon.

“You’re right. It’s not good to be depressed all the time. Let’s get ourselves together.”

It’s too early to take it back and I don’t feel any remorse at all, but it’s true that we can’t move forward if we’re depressed, so we have no choice now.

“Wow!”

Some of us jumped into the ‘super soft water ball’ with a bang.

“Bring back the cat!

“Don’t touch it! I’ll raise it!”

I’m going to raise it!” Some of them fought over the ‘water cat’, showing no real signs of remorse.

Also, Kunon decided not to worry about it.

Failure is inevitable in magic, and through experimentation and failure, progress is made little by little.

It’s not good worrying about it every time.

But it’s too early to say.

“Now let’s discuss it. Let’s talk over lunch, Mr. Kunon.”

“Yes, sir. By the way, what are my test results?”

“You don’t have to ask. I’ll take full responsibility as your teacher.”

In other words, I passed.

I knew that I had passed the test, but now that it was put into words, I felt a surge of joy.

“…… I did it! Yes!”

Kunon Gurion. Nine years old.

This one day in winter, he was accepted as a royal court magician.

Not as a nobleman’s son, but as a mere apprentice sorcerer.

It was the first achievement he had won with his own hands.

-And it was also the day that two more stains were added to the official story.

“You know why we’re here, don’t you?”

Over lunch, I continued to have a pleasant and enjoyable conversation with the royal sorcerers.

They talked about interesting experiments, failures, new magic, and other things that easily surpassed Kunon’s knowledge, which he had studied hard.

Kunon took notes anyway.

He made sure to record every single word so that he would never forget this precious time.

-Then, such a pleasant time came to an end with the arrival of his father, Arson.

One of the sorcerers said, “Kunon, your father is here.”

As soon as the meaning of the words entered my mind, the blood drained from my face as quickly as I could tell.

He’s here.

He had finally arrived.

When I went to the entrance of the Black Tower with Leisha, who was escorting me, I saw my father standing there, already angry from the first sign of his presence.

He said, “I’m here.”

You know why I’m here, don’t you?

“Uhm, father, I’m afraid I can’t join you on the way home today, as I have a dinner engagement for the evening ……”

The father showed no mercy to his upset son, whose language was strange.

“That’s twice. Twice today, in the morning alone, father had heard his son’s disapproval. What does that mean, Kunon?”

“…… I’m sorry, I got carried away.”

As I suspected, he was angry with me for doing it twice.

If it was only once, but it has been twice, and he would not forgive me.

The truth is, even one time would not be acceptable.

“No, Lord Gurion. It’s not Kunon’s fault, we instructed him to do so……”

His father interrupted Leisha, who was trying to defend Kunon, with a harsh voice, “That’s not true.”

“I’m not very bright in magic, but I don’t think that the sorcerer is not responsible for whatever happens.

If that were the case, hurting people or killing people because someone told you to would be tolerated because of someone else.

Kunon, do you understand?

You know why I tried to avoid teaching you magic that you would use to attack?

It’s because you still don’t think about what will happen with the magic you use. That’s why you were making such a mess today.

No matter what anyone tells you to do, if you think you will hurt someone or something, refuse.

I did it because someone told me to do it, and it turned out badly.

But you can’t be so irresponsible that you think it’s not your fault because someone told you to do it.

Magic is power.

As long as you wield power, you will always be responsible for whatever you do.

If you are going to study magic in a serious way, you should graduate from being an irresponsible child.

You should think about what your magic can do and how it can help you, and use it properly.”

“…… Yes. I’m sorry.”

Kunon apologized honestly.

It’s just like his father said. I can’t say anything back.

It’s a good idea to think about what’s going to happen when I use it, even if it’s Rondimond’s instructions.

Kunon was the one who flew the Water Doll near the castle.

If you think about why the Black Tower is so far away from the castle, you should have known right away that you shouldn’t do flying magic in the direction of the castle.

There is no excuse.

“…I’m sorry.”

Leisha, a member of the group who made Kunon use his magic, bowed together with all the sorcerers.

“Why even Leisha… No, it’s okay.”

Anyway, this incident is over now.

I don’t think the father should be dragged into this too much – now that he’s more likely to be his son’s future employer, there’s no reason to get into more trouble than necessary.

Kunon had been here until this time.

That was proof that he was well-liked by the royal sorcerers. He must have passed the test.

“So, Kunon, I’m leaving now. Kunon, I hope you’re on your way to Her Highness.”

“Yes, sir…… What?”

“Please don’t be rude to Her Highness, Milica.”

With an indescribable look at the sorcerers lying buried in the “super soft water ball” near the doorway, the father left.

Kunon, who was left behind, could not measure the meaning of the words.

He had been so engrossed in the pleasant conversation that he had completely lost all sense of time.

In fact, it was already evening.

His father would have to leave a little early – but he wanted to discipline Kunon before dinner.

Before the fun, before the excitement.

“Right. Maybe I should go pick up Milica now.”

“What? Really? Is it time already?”

The sky is not only red, but it’s getting darker already.

Kunon, who can not see, does not understand.

…Kunon left the black tower with a regretful feeling.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

Once back in the room, Leisha returned after being booed by her friends for telling them that Kunon was leaving.

He was about to walk away when she stopped him. “Since we’re here, let’s combine the techniques and go quickly.”

“Yes? Combine techniques?”

“Can you make the soft ‘water ball a’ori’, that people are sleeping in, float with people on it?”

“Yes, I can…….?”

“Let me see.”

Kunon does as she’s told and pulls out the “super soft water ball”.

” Here we go. Come on, Kunon, get in.”

“What? Yes…….”

I don’t know what she’s planning to do, but half in anxiety and half in anticipation, Kunon got on the “super soft water ball” too.

Once we were both on board, we manipulated the “water ball” to make it float.

“-My sigil is the wind. If there’s no gravity, then the wind should propel me forward.”

“I can operate it and get it to a certain speed.”

“It’s synergy.”

Interesting, Kunon thought.

Synergy.

In other words, they fly in synergy.

I’m not sure how much speed I can achieve with my own magic manipulation and Leisha’s wind power.

-He had heard a lot of valuable things about the Black Tower, but he hadn’t been able to get a true sense of their abilities.

If we can do some interesting experiments at the end of the day, I’m all for it.

I’ve never had the idea of riding in a water balloon before. It’s really interesting.

“Interesting is mutual. I’m curious about you, too. I’m sure you’re a magical woman who can play with children like a naughty wind.”

“─ Why did you choose children only? It sounds like a special kind of hobby. -Oh well, come on, let’s go!”

“You’re lucky it’s soft.”

“It’s good to be soft.”

Kunon’s manipulation and Leisha’s wind.

As a result of combining the two, the plane flew at a ridiculous speed, and the strength of the wind hitting the body caused Kunon to mismanage the plane, causing it to lose its balance and crash.

“Sorry, my mistake……”

“No, it’s not. I should have kept the risk of failure in mind as soon as we tried it. It was my supervisory error.”

I barely managed to stay alive unscathed by maneuvering the “super soft water ball” so that it wrapped around the two of us, cushioning us.

They rolled violently on the ground, and when they finally stopped, they stood up.

Both of them were so terrified that their legs were shuffling like newborn deer.

Really.

If they were not careful, they would have died. It was way too fast.

“We need to do more experiments.”

“Yes, we do.”

The result was almost an accident, but it was a discovery that will change the history of transportation and mobility.

“That’s the third time, Lady Leisha.”

“……”

It seems that he saw them rolling around on the ground somewhere and came running.

It was the third time today that I met the knight who caught us this morning.

They were both really pissed off.
