Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

96 – From now on, look closely and deliver it properly.

Imperial Palace.

“Huh….”

A woman lay on her bed with her chin resting and yawned. It was a look that was out of step with courtesy, but it was extremely powerful and alluring.

The second princess, Aurora.

She is currently locked in boredom. Between her whole body, soaked in her indolence, only golden eyes shine.

I woke up early in the morning not to miss the subjugation, but there is still no sign of the relay. Eventually she asked her eunuch next to her.

“Hey, when the hell does it start?”

“… It looks like there are still about three hours left.”

The eunuch politely bowed her head in response. Aurora let out a deep sigh, then tucked and clicked her tongue.

“To dare to make the princess wait, even the Sword Matthew Festival isn’t very good. Isn’t it?”

“Yes. It is so.”

“You should also vary your reaction. No fun Have fun.”

“Sorry. It’s because I don’t have many talents.”

The eunuch responded calmly to the words of the second princess. She was used to these conversations with him now.

“But, this is strange. Didn’t the train to Berkel already leave with the representatives?”

“Yes. We have departed.”

The second princess picked up her bundle of papers.

Although it was recorded only in type, the eunuchs organized the situation of the subjugation system without any confusion.

“Everybody changed trains as if they had made an appointment…. It looks like you are leaving for some kind of picnic.”

Aurora’s pupils moved quickly and repeatedly from side to side. And at some point, it stops.

“….”

After the second princess didn’t speak for a long time, the eunuch carefully raised her head and looked at Aurora.

“Hey, isn’t something strange?”

“… !”

The eunuch shook his shoulders. At Aurora’s only question, he immediately lowered his head.

“Are there any breaks or typos? Fix it right now….”

“No. It’s not like that.”

Aurora flipped her paper the other way. So that the type written on it could be included in the eunuch’s field of vision.

“Can you see it?”

“Yes.”

“Only the course of the Faculty of Magic is completely different.”

The eunuch carefully examined each type of writing. It didn’t take long to confirm that there was nothing wrong.

“Yes. It seems that the representatives of the Faculty of Magic are the only ones who have chosen a different route.”

Aurora looked at the eunuch.

“What do you think of this?”

“….”

“Dangerous routes, I dared to choose.”

4 Consecutive transfers, all selected routes are risky. It was something I couldn’t possibly believe was a coincidence.

The eunuch cautiously opened his mouth.

“I have felt confident.”

“Hmm. Confidence.”

Aurora seemed to be in a good mood when she nodded. She wrung the corners of her mouth and continued her words.

“Good. I mean, he felt the same way as me.”

The second princess now set her eyes on the list. Her golden eyes are fixed only on ‘flan’.

“I need to see what this guy looks like. Right now.”

“The broadcast begins immediately after the delegates arrive at Berkel.”

The eunuch explained the reason step by step.

“Reporters also departed for Berkel using a relatively safe route, and there are currently no reporters attached to the representatives of the Faculty of Magic….”

Aurora looked at the eunuch.

“I should have just said I missed you.”

Golden eyes shining like pure gold.

There was only one thing the eunuch could do after facing it.

◈

The train journey went on peacefully for a while.

The three representatives, including Becky, talked among themselves, and I looked out the window and was lost in thought.

An extra hour passed just like that. We were finally able to reach Jereun Station.

“Oh… ?”

Becky exclaimed. I also understood some of her feelings.

From restaurants and shops to various convenience facilities. It was only one station, but it was a well-organized station that made the word “Only” Colorless.

Becky looks around her head like her child.

“There are a lot more people than I thought… ? Is it because the station is pretty? Or did I not know that Jereun is a famous place?”

“It will be because it is actually the last station. After all, few people want to go all the way to Berkel.”

“Ah~”

At Louis’ words, Becky nodded her head.

Becky’s statement that there are many people and Lewis’ statement that few people want to go to Berkel are not all wrong.

I told the guys.

“If you need a meal, do it now. There won’t be enough time after that.”

“Then I’ll go and get you something to eat!”

Becky raised her hand.

“I heard that we are riding in VIP seats, so it would be okay to eat inside the train?”

“Let’s take care of that.”

I handed her one of her gold coins. Becky left her seat with a somewhat moved face.

After 20 minutes, a train revealed its head at the end of the track. At the same time, the staff raises their voice at the top of their voices.

“Train number 4 to Berkel! Hope there is no mistake! That’s number 4! No. 4!”

“Follow me.”

I took the lead and moved to the exclusive aisle for VIPs, followed by the representatives. An attendant came over and checked the train ticket.

“Uh…. Uh?”

The gaze of the staff member who was stuck on the ticket moved to me. After a while, his head tilted to one side.

“… Flan? Plan of the Faculty of Magic?”

I silently nodded. Louis, who was next to him, burst into laughter.

“Oh, flan is a celebrity now.”

“That, that’s right. You’ll find out here too….”

Becky also looked at me with shining eyes. I just nod my head without speaking.

The staff spoke again.

“Oh my God, the real thing is so much better. In the case of a seat, you can sit anywhere in the VIP seat, but….”

He lowers his voice. In a more cautious voice, he spoke so that only I could hear him.

“The number 4 train to Berkel is very dangerous. It’s just that mercenaries use it when they have a request or occasionally. I guess I didn’t know because I was a freshman, but would you like to change your reservation?”

“It has to be number 4.”

“… Okay? I don’t know why, but I support you.”

I dismissed the conversation and got on the train.

The interior was so shabby that the word “Exclusively for VIPs” Was colorless. It’s just a basic seating arrangement.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand. It would be a waste to bring something into this train with a high risk of being destroyed.

“Huh? They must be representatives of the Faculty of Magic!”

Immediately after being seated, the unidentified people pretended to know. All of them were dressed in robes.

“Ah~ nothing else, we are wizards too. It’s nice to meet the representatives of the Faculty of Magic like this. This is a pleasant coincidence….”

A remark skillfully mixed with truth and lies. There is no lie in the word wizard, but we would not have met by chance.

I looked closely at them. All three of them were carrying a repatriation stone, and they were holding some crystal ball in their arms.

‘Is it a form of projecting and transmitting surrounding objects….’

Chii Ik─

The train announced its departure with a loud noise.

“Wait a minute!”

Becky hurriedly climbed onto him just in time, with a handful of food in her arms.

She dared to sit next to me. Her appetizing scent mixed with the scent of roses tickled the tip of her nose.

“Whoah…. I almost missed the train!”

“Sorry. It was an opportunity to leave.”

Trixie said as she looked out of her window. Becky asked, sweating.

“Trixie, why do you seem to hate me… ?”

“Yes.”

“… Why.”

“Think for yourself.”

Profitability─ Profitability─

The train moved towards her destination in earnest.

“Wow….”

Immediately after leaving the station, Becky’s mouth fell open. The scenery outside the window took my eyes off me for a while.

Calling it a superb view would not disappoint.

“I’ve heard of it. This is Mist Falls….”

Within reach, there were endless cliffs that seemed to have been cut with a knife. The fog flows down like a waterfall due to the unusual air current.

“No way, the train won’t fall over there, right?”

“That must be fun, too. It won’t be a waste of the ticket price.”

“Flan, please don’t take that seriously. I am afraid of heights.”

Becky shook her head.

I pointed at the food with my chin. Cookies, Sandwiches…. I bought a lot of different types.

“Make sure you have a good meal.”

As expected, things will get busy after a while. Of course there is no time to eat at that time.

“This is right. I need to eat…. Ha ha….”

Suddenly, Becky yawned.

“Did I go around the restaurant too quickly…. It’s warm inside the room…. Suddenly sleepy Kids, just eat all of this.”

“Thanks Becky. I will eat well.”

“You eat as much as you want. So you don’t gain weight.”

Louis accepted the hot dog with a smile, while Trixie took out a vegetable lunchbox and writhed.

Leaving behind the fuss that had begun to feel like everyday life, I looked out the window and lost myself in thought.

There are a total of 7 people in the VIP seats.

There are four representatives of the Faculty of Magic, including me, and three unknown wizards.

‘At the time of reservation, there were no guests except us.’

I quietly put my hand on the window sill. Hera’s magical power was slowly painted over the entire train compartment so that no one would notice.

I can feel the insidious energy nearby. Judging from the fact that Maiev marked it as the safest section in the first place, it is highly likely to be the most dangerous.

‘… After all, raising disciples is troublesome.’

But it has to be done.

Originally, I would have chosen only the easy route, but it is also an important task to create a ‘victory of the Faculty of Magic’ rather than an individual victory.

Raising the overall average of wizards is of course important, and I will make these three gemstones the cornerstone.

But then.

“… ?”

Suddenly, something landed on my shoulder.

It was Becky. At some point, the cone hat dropped to the floor and buried its face in my shoulder.

“Becky.”

I punched my forehead and pushed it away.

But things got worse, and Becky’s head landed on my thigh.

“….”

At the moment, complex emotions were intense, but considering what would happen soon, we decided to allow this amount of rest.

I gave up my thighs and took out the data.

[ Status of ancient rune language research ]

I don’t know about anything else, but Maiev has really meticulously organized this one thing.

Data in the form of a map that has been outlined in its own way with a few ancient rune words collected over the years. Coincidentally, this map also points to Berkel.

Peace is just a few minutes away, I’m going to look into this.

◈

Click ─ Click ─

The train goes on and on.

A reporter wearing a robe, Arine touched a crystal ball in the form of a necklace. Fortunately, the situation is being captured without any problems so far.

Click ─ Click ─

From noble mtl dot com

Another 20 minutes like that.

Arine continued to capture the image of the VIP Khan.

According to her special order, which came down from her imperial family in haste, her current mission was to relay the images of the representatives of her magic department as much as possible.

Plan is examining an unknown piece of paper. A girl sleeps with his thigh as a pillow.

‘… This causes a scandal.’

With that thought in mind, Arine also opened a random book.

Click ─ Click ─

Plan is still motionless.

The bracelet that responds to the beast’s energy began to glow, and the reporters took a deep breath and calmed down.

You don’t have to worry too much. It was enough to continue the relay as much as possible, and then use the repatriation stone to return.

There is no reason to feel remorse.

It was unavoidable that he was only doing his job, did no harm to the representatives, and could not save him in case of emergency.

Plane became more focused as time went on.

Now, he hangs eight sheets of paper in the air and examines them at once, and his appearance is worthy of being called elegant.

If someone sees this through a crystal ball,

I’m sure someone, too, will admire the perfection.

Cheekyung─

Cheekyung─

But at some point, Arine’s bracelet started to vibrate ominously. The magic beast energy detected far exceeds expectations.

“….”

The reporters exchanged glances among themselves.

At this level, it would be right to return immediately. It was a shame that even their own lives could not be guaranteed to relay the appearance of others.

“I can’t help it. Let’s return.”

They quietly moved to a corner.

You broke the repatriation stone with your fingernail. No, I tried to break it, but Song Hwan-seok avoided it.

“… ?”

I was embarrassed by the unexpected situation. His nails kept hitting each other in the air, and Song Hwan-seok avoided the reporters’ hands like a flying insect.

“Hey, why is this like this? I’m going to die in a hurry!”

I turned on the lights in my eyes and started looking for the cause, and it wasn’t long before I was able to figure it out.

It was a heart attack.

Plan was dealing with Song Hwan-seok with his telekinesis, and he was deliberately obstructing their return.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“I will not allow you to return.”

“Suddenly, something….”

“Because I already know you guys are reporters.”

“….”

In an instant, Arine’s eyebrows twitched. She tried to be as nonchalant as possible.

“I don’t even know what you are talking about…. Give it back Because it was mine in the first place.”

“I don’t know, then how do you explain the crystal ball hanging around your neck?”

It was a disaster.

Plan already knew about this crystal ball. Arine swallowed her dry saliva.

“You don’t know what. It’s just a necklace.”

“It seems like you still don’t know anything.”

The vibration felt in the bracelet is still growing in real time. The expressions of Arine and other reporters became very urgent.

I don’t want to face the devil.

I wanted to come back.

“… Anyway, that’s not the point. You took other people’s things at will. Would you like me to return it first?”

“As mentioned earlier, return is not allowed.”

“If it comes out that way, we can think—”

But then.

Kikiiik─!

The train started to stop suddenly with a roar.

The vibration of the bracelet was so loud that her whole hand trembled, and it was about that time that Ari Ne lost her control.

“Give me, give me! If you want to die, just die alone! You’re saying you’re going to become a water ghost now!”

And that moment.

Quaang—!

A large-scale explosion signaled the start. It was at the head of the train.

Next.

─!

The VIP-only compartment soars into the air.

It was an instant.

“Ouch!”

Arine screamed.

Koo Goo Goo—!

The kaleidoscope flashes quickly.

The soaring VIP compartment will soon fall and become weightless, and everyone will struggle ugly and fall to the ground to death.

If it falls down the cliff, there won’t even be anyone lifting the corpse after that.

But.

The kaleidoscope remained only as a kaleidoscope.

The scenery outside the window stopped at some point.

“Billion!”

Arine floated up and banged her head on the ceiling before banging her nose on the floor of her cabin. It was a shock that knocked her out of her mind.

“Ugh…. Nose, my nose….”

The reporters stood up holding their sore spots and began to look around, frowning.

Soon, their eyes widened, and they were all taken aback.

Because the VIP room was still intact.

However, I definitely heard the explosion with both ears. It couldn’t have been an illusion.

Arine immediately clung to the window and looked outside.

And then it froze.

“… ?”

Staying in the air.

The train with its head on the floor stretched vertically toward the sky.

Everything except for the head compartment, which was the source of the explosion.

It stood there unmoving, as if someone pulled its tail from the sky.

A world that has become quiet as if the concept of ‘sound’ has disappeared.

The magic naturally melted into the landscape, and it was like appreciating a huge artwork using a train.

“This is…. What….”

Irine instinctively lifted the crystal ball in the form of a necklace. Fortunately, there was only gold, so there was no difficulty in conveying this scenery.

The monsters swarm around the head compartment, and the train tower standing tall in the middle….

While capturing the appearance of such things.

“The outlook will not be bad at this level.”

Plan.

His calm voice hit the ears of reporters.

Plan stood up after arranging the materials without any wrinkles. The representatives, too, were sleeping safely thanks to his yeomdongduk.

“… !”

Come to think of it, everything in this cell remains unaffected by gravity. Even though the train was standing vertically, the body did not lean downwards.

I am dumbfounded. Arine didn’t quite understand the situation even though they were the same mage.

… It was an explosion that wouldn’t be strange even if he died.

Plann kicked the wall of the compartment with his toe. Then, with a groan, it was completely ripped apart.

What are you going to do?

The moment Ari Ne thought so, Plan opened her mouth as if she had read her thoughts.

“You don’t have to try to understand.”

Plan raised the representatives one by one with mental movements. They just woke up and blinked their eyes.

“You just have to stick to your job as a reporter.”

At the same time, Plan threw the three representatives out.

“—!”

Representatives fall to the ground without knowing why. Before the bewildered reporters could even ask what.

“From now on, look closely and deliver it properly.”

With that said, Plan jumped off as well.
