Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

88 – Because I can see the future….

“Why don’t you just go back to your room.”

When she reached her hand, a woman with bobbed red hair, who seemed to be the personification of her rose, stood in front of her.

“Janet.”

Janet Franz.

She was in second place in the preliminaries. She is a cadet who is active as the leader of ‘Tianchuk’.

She smiled brightly when her name was called.

“It’s an honor to know me. Are the preparations for the subjugation going well? You only have a few days left.”

“There is no such thing as preparation.”

“Whoops. Okay? However, I’m afraid that someone will doubt Judith’s high reputation…. That worries me a little.”

Our eyes met in midair.

“You are hiding your identity and attending the academy, so it would be best to stay as quiet as possible until the subjugation is over. How are you?”

Janet has the kindest face on her face, but I know her smile is meant for Scarlett.

“Oh, of course, I understand how boring it can be to be alone in a room. I know your heart.”

I looked at her slowly.

She’s not that tall, but there was a solid side to her that the oozing energy was wonderful.

“So, if you’re bored and it’s hard to bear it, I’ll go and talk to you. I don’t know how to talk to a wizard, but it’s better than being alone.”

An attitude as if he were admonishing a newborn child. Janet feels relaxed.

If I had more time, I would have responded at least non-verbally, but currently I am very busy.

“Let’s act a little more maturely. At least something that would be a nuisance to Scarlett…. Plan, are you listening to me?”

I can’t seem to focus on the conversation. Janet asked once again.

“Not at all.”

“Whoops. I see. Good. I will say one more word.”

No matter what Janet said, I looked around her head for Isolette. She didn’t see her face at all.

I tried to detect the witch’s magical power. The magic that she couldn’t hold back and pouted in all directions.

However, it was not detected.

“When the subjugation system ends, the confidentiality oath of the press ends at the same time. At that time, the academy will know that you are Judith’s man. Think about whether that will benefit or harm you.”

In the meantime, Janet is still talking. When she realized Isolet was gone, she felt an involuntary irritation.

“If you win, it might be to your advantage. However, Tianchuk has no intention of conceding the championship.”

“Janet.”

I walked over to her and whispered quietly.

“At the social gathering place, barking dogs are not allowed.”

“… ?”

Before she could understand what I was saying and what she was doing, I continued.

“Scarlett. Why don’t you take your pet back.”

“… !”

With that word, it was as if time had stopped.

Everyone in this room seemed very, very surprised at the way I treated Janet and Scarlett.

Everyone’s eyes pierced me, and soon Scarlett’s eyes also slowly turned towards me.

Scarlett’s eyes started to glow like lingering anger, but promises exist to be kept.

She can’t get involved in anything I do.

Five seconds. Ten seconds. At the end of the silence that seemed to last forever.

“… Come. You don’t have to deal with him.”

Scarlett spoke briefly to Janet. Thanks to this, the faces of others became more visible.

“….”

Janet looked back and forth between Scarlett and me with a dumbfounded expression.

But soon, she politely bows her head towards Scarlett and backs away neatly.

“I will. Knight.”

I too left the others behind. I was going to look around the second floor a bit to find Isolet.

The second floor might be because Scarlett doesn’t have eyes, so when she arrived, she ran as if several people had been waiting for her.

“Oh, can I ask you a few questions? If you just take a minute….”

“Maybe we can make a separate appointment….”

The business of the approaching people was diverse.

There was curiosity about me, and there were also things close to solicitation…. As expected, there were still a lot of questions about Scarlett.

Ignoring all of them, I passed the second floor and arrived at the third floor, which was sparsely populated.

And there, I finally found Isolet.

“Meow~”

The appearance of a black cat. However, it is certain that it is the witch Isolet. The leaking magic power is proof of that.

She rubbed her face on her sleeve.

“… Isolet.”

I said her name softly.

Then, with a pop, Isolet turned into a human. It was like that.

“Cough, Cough! Ego, I’m impressed. Now you can find me first….”

“….”

I looked at her staring at her.

A body that looks as if it would collapse and vomit blood at any moment, and extremely strong magic power. The difference between the two factors was rather interesting.

But I wonder if I misunderstood what was in my gaze as anger. Isolet suddenly touched her hand.

“Cool… ! Ugh, don’t be too angry. I also sent gold coins every month….”

I still don’t respond. Isolet continued her speech, coughing into her pale face.

“Cough, Cough! It’s not like stalking. It’s just pure support…. Maybe.”

I held out one of her handkerchiefs to her.

I was going to hand over the handkerchief Trixie gave me, but I just handed over my handkerchief. Isolet nods her head and she accepts it.

“Thank you. After all, I am an astrologer, right?”

“The Astrologer.”

He muttered four letters in a low voice.

Astrologers were also in the previous world. They practiced something close to superstition, such as using various strange tools to look into the future.

Isolet nodded her head with difficulty.

“Yes. Because I can see the future…. I’m just investing in you. If you succeed and return it later, that’s enough…. Coke, Coke!”

In the end, it was a simple story.

Isolet is an ‘astrologer’ who claims to be able to see the future, and since she saw the future of her body owner, she started sponsoring it.

She coughed and removed her lips again. The handkerchief I handed to her is already stained with blood.

“I watched him perform well at the academy. But, that’s enough even without using a unique ability…. I was really surprised.”

“A unique ability?”

“Yes. It’s your unique ability. Are you not going to use that? Cool, cool… ! Oops, it’s the head….”

Does it really have the blood of a knight? It seems that this body also has its own abilities.

“Isolet.”

I called her name softly.

“Yes. Cool, cool… ! Please speak.”

“What will happen to the total amount donated to me?”

“120,000? That would be enough.”

That’s like a thousand donations a month, for a whopping 10 years. Her behavior is not easy to understand.

‘No, maybe.’

If Isolet truly saw the future, this might not be a stupid choice. No, it would be an excellent move.

“120,000, Well done. Isolet.”

Then Isolet’s coughing stopped. She blinked her eyes and looked at me.

“… Did you do well?”

“Yes.”

“Uh, um…. You are different from usual today….”

Isolet scratched her head. I was suddenly curious about her ‘astrology’.

“Isolet. Can we still see the future?”

“Cough, Cough… ! Sure. I can see it.”

From noble mtl dot com

Isolet came two steps closer to me.

“I got compliments today, so I’ll just take a look. When there is no crystal ball, you can see it with your pupils.”

Her eyes are on my pupils. The next moment, Isolet froze as she stood.

As if she was taking a closer look into my pupils, Isolet narrowed her eyes and focused.

And finally, when their faces are so close that the tips of their noses touch each other.

“Coke! Cole, Cole…. Uh….”

Isolet’s cough stopped.

To be precise, she stopped breathing altogether.

“….”

Isolet’s eyes gradually grow in size. At the same time, her mouth began to open slowly.

She slowly turned her head to an angle, and her pale face suddenly turned bloody.

“Ugh….”

She nodded her head in satisfaction.

“As expected, my investment was not wrong.”

She looks at me, rolling her eyes this way and that. After a while, she finally pursed her lips.

“From next month, I will donate 2,000 gold coins.”

“It doesn’t matter, but tell me what you saw.”

“Whoops…. Cool, cool… !”

Isolet let out a low laugh as she let out her cough in succession. She showed that she put one of her index fingers over her own lips.

“Only seeing the future is an astrologer’s job. The moment I tell you, the future is dislocated…. Yes. You know?”

“… It’s insignificant.”

I turned around without regret.

Now that the point of contact between the witch and the owner of the body has been found, the initial goal has already been achieved.

Going down to the second floor, I quietly checked my watch.

It’s almost time to participate in the auction.

‘120,000 Gold coins.’

I am willing to use it in any way.

◈

A night in the Magic Tower Hotel room.

After being harassed with a huge amount of theories all day, the delegates were finally given time to sleep.

“….”

But Trixie is still awake. It was a complicated night with many mixed emotions.

“Ha.”

I finally sighed and got up.

The rooms are extremely luxurious.

The large space is separated so that each person can live separately, and snacks and tea are fully stocked for easy access at any time.

However, it is rather empty because it is so wide.

“Let’s not do this. Let’s not do this.”

Suddenly, insomnia came. It’s happened once in the past, but it’s especially severe today.

Is it the tension toward the subjugation system, or the waiting for the teaching auction that never comes back?

Probably both.

My heart is getting impatient ahead of a big event, but it is frustrating because there is no reply from the teaching auction.

Opened Trivia.

[▷ How about meeting soon!]

[▷ That’s right. I passed the qualifier 1st place]

[▷ Have you seen it…. Heh3 heh]

Still no reply.

Covered Trivia again. Unfolded, covered, unfolded, covered…. It was repeated about five times.

“… Uh.”

Then, suddenly, something came to my mind.

Trixie hurriedly got out of bed and grabbed one of her handkerchiefs. It had the same appearance as the one I asked Plan to deliver.

This handkerchief conveys the wearer’s sense of touch and scent. I should have told you enough by now.

“Hmmm.”

Trixie cleared her throat and looked around.

Trixie is alone in this room. Everyone else must be asleep. This is reassuring.

Trixie lay back on the bed and quietly held the handkerchief to her face.

After a while.

“….”

An indescribable, reliable energy was delivered to Trixie.

The delicate scent tickled the tip of the girl’s nose.

Trixie finally closed her eyes. It calmed down for some reason. I feel like I can fall asleep now.

Thoughts flow slowly like clouds.

Come to think of it, why does Becky not say anything after saying that she will tell me? The space is divided, so I can’t ask right now. So what is the connection between the plan and the agora board? How hard will tomorrow be? I don’t know, but I missed Mr. Teaching. Mr Teaching….

My thoughts, which flowed at random, were cut off.

Reassuringly—

At one point, the girl fell asleep like an angel.
