Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

99 – You can spend it all.

A night with the moon high.

“So….”

A knight cadet in India. Bastian stopped looking at the square and turned his head to meet Janet’s eyes.

His face is full of scars, but he seems to have more questions now.

“Janet, as you said….”

“….”

“The Mist Cliffs are not good terrain for battle.”

“Yes.”

“I told you that the risk of being late increases if you go into battle, so the loss would outweigh the gains if you went through it. Didn’t you?”

“It was.”

Bastian looked at Berkel’s plaza again. He took turns looking at me several times before opening his mouth with a bewildered expression.

“So, what the hell is that?”

“Hmm.”

Janet’s pupils moved. Her eyes, which sent her gaze to the plaza, quickly became blank.

First of all, the representatives of the Faculty of Magic appeared.

Plan. A man full of confidence to the bone. With him as the center, three wizards stand side by side.

The problem is next.

‘Crowd’. It is not explained in other words.

Berkel’s residents flooded in like a wave, filling the square. Right now, at this moment, their interest was only one.

‘Faculty of Magic.’

Since traffic is controlled, it is impossible to get closer than a certain distance, but even so, no one gave up easily and left.

Everyone snoops around on tiptoe. All of these actions were to visually check the appearances of the representatives of the Faculty of Magic.

Janet muttered as she tossed a coin in the air.

“I didn’t expect anything like this.”

Ticks, ticks, the wildly bouncing up and down coins seemed to represent her current state of mind.

“Janette, they earned a lot of points. What to do?”

“How much.”

“300 Points. If you exclude Plan because he didn’t do anything, it means that each representative caught 100 ghosts.”

100 Animals.

Janet stopped flipping her coin.

“… 100 Per person. It’s fun.”

“Janet. But in the first place, no matter how unlucky…. Is it possible to encounter 300 ghosts?”

“It’s not just about luck.”

It is a ghost to hear that there is no luck even if you encounter only 10 of them. However, it was a whopping 300, and the message was simple and clear.

“Rather, it means that they were looking for ghosts on purpose.”

Baffled as she sputtered herself, Janet looked at the plaza with her speechless expression.

She was Janet, who was always evaluated as calm and calculating by those around her, but at this moment, even she was quite embarrassed.

She knew from the very beginning that Plan had her unexpected s*x. But she failed spectacularly at anticipating the degree of surprise.

Bastian shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t like it. It’s a place where so many knights have gathered, but everyone is eager to see the wizard.”

“I can’t help it because of Berkel’s characteristics.”

“Speciality?”

“Yes. In fact, from the point of view of residents…. Whether it’s a knight or a magician, it’s enough just to catch the monster well.”

For the people of Berkel, who are plagued by beasts all year round, the Punishment Festival is an indispensable event.

When a group that seems to be able to catch the beast well appears, you naturally look forward to it, and you have no choice but to be enthusiastic.

“Hmm….”

Janet started flipping the coin again.

This is what Janet was most concerned about.

From a small perspective, Berkel is just a stage for subjugation, but from a larger perspective, everyone’s attention is focused on it. That’s why it was important to make Berkel’s residents only pay attention to the knights.

If the residents’ enthusiasm and gratitude to the knights flows naturally, the position of the knights will be solidified for granted.

The fact that the knight of the flames personally participates is all due to this reason….

‘You mean you calculated everything? Flan.’

Janet vaguely understood Plan’s intentions.

He didn’t just act for points. He designed it so that those who are interested in subjugation can focus only on the movements of mages.

Bastian shrugged his shoulders.

“If the score is 300…. It’s a great start.”

“I will not deny it.”

Janet nodded. The word advantage here is not limited to the ‘score’ thanks to the rules of the subjugation system.

Since the settlement of the subjugation system does not happen overnight, food and supplies needed in the process are prepared by using points as currency.

“To earn 300 points with this grin is…. After all, you mean to preoccupy the fantasy map, right? What do you think, Janet?”

“It is most likely.”

The coin still busily passes through the air and over Janet’s thumb. Bastian took the pod and put it on the back of my head.

“I never thought I would lose the map…. The fantasy map was really amazing. How does the changing topography become a family mark?”

“That’s why it’s called a new thing.”

Berkel’s topography changes every year due to the influence of the Demonic Beast, and the phantom map displays all of the topography as well.

It hurts to say twice that it is the most popular item in the Punishment Shop, and at the same time the most important item.

“Get attention, get maps, play with money at the auction house…. That would be nice flan.”

Janet gave a subtle smile. She hadn’t forgotten her humiliation at the auction house.

I appreciate the fact that she will follow this momentum and even win the championship, but she is not a Janet who will give in lightly.

She raised her voice.

“The process deviated from expectations once, but the results did not change. It just got more fun.”

With Janet’s sincere voice, the eyes of the members of the cheonchuk gradually became determined.

“What became interesting? Look.”

She pointed her chin at the residents of the plaza. They are still eager to see the representatives of the Faculty of Magic.

“The Faculty of Magic has already dominated the attention. It has a whopping 300 points, and it will start the subjugation system with an advantage.”

“….”

“But don’t forget. We are Tianzhi, and before that, we are knights. If you prove it by winning, eventually people’s interest will double and come back.”

Tianchuk. Article.

To set fire to the hearts of the cadets, those two were enough.

“It’s not that difficult, is it? It just got annoying.”

After taking turns looking at everyone, Janet continued with her cool voice.

“If face up, Tianchuk has never lost.”

Ting─

Janet flipped a coin.

“Go to bed. From tomorrow, everyone will be surprised by the name of Tianchuk once again.”

She turned her back, her red hair waving.

The coin that fell to the ground was face up.

◈

Time for someone to prepare well.

Facing Berkel’s cool night breeze, the representatives of the Faculty of Magic gathered again.

The meeting point is in front of Berkel’s inn. Those who arrived first barely finished taking a bath and waited for the man who hadn’t arrived yet.

“It seems that our popularity has increased a bit. hehehe.”

Becky nodded his head awkwardly, seemingly in a good mood. Trixie, who was next to her, snorted.

“You are not popular.”

“….”

Becky cleared her throat, perhaps feeling embarrassed. That leads to sudden sneezing.

“Echwi! Oh, it’s really cold in Berkel at night….”

“Do it with your mouth covered.”

“Alright, lend me your handkerchief, Trixie….”

“What?”

Trixie crumpled her expression.

“Don’t say that, even as a joke.”

“… Do I have to be so serious?”

“Borrow it from your favorite flan. It’s coming just in time.”

Trixie pointed away with her chin. Becky glanced at it too. However, he soon turns his head openly. It had to be.

“… Wow.”

The girl’s mouth opened before I knew it.

The slightly tired eyes and wet hair that hadn’t completely dried yet were sculpted with a decadent beauty, making Becky nervous.

Finally flan stopped in front of them.

“Flan, are you here?”

Lewis greeted with a smile.

“Yes.”

Plan nodded her head quietly.

But what, the next moment.

“… You don’t even carry a handkerchief.”

Plan gave Becky a white handkerchief first. Louis and Trixie looked back and forth between the two, their eyes wide open.

That time when even Becky is bewildered. A woman appeared with her hand raised.

“Ah, is everyone gathered? Let’s go!”

A pin for officials only, pinned near the chest.

He was an official who would guide the subjugation system and Berkel.

◈

A dull and dark city surrounded by demons. My expectations for Berkel should have been just that.

“….”

The scenery of Berkel confirmed with the naked eye more than shattered those expectations. It was a landscape that reminded me of a well-developed engineering city rather than a back alley.

The ‘unknown power’ here is the source that made Berkel so developed, and at the same time it is the cause of attracting the demons.

I’m guessing it’s the power of the ancient runes, and it probably is.

“The subjugation begins when the sun rises tomorrow, and what I will explain from now on is this ‘heart’.”

The explanation of the person involved was simple.

From noble mtl dot com

The heart of Berkel is where various convenience facilities are gathered. However, it did not stop there, and it was also characterized by the abundance of various entertainment and entertainment.

“Wow…. Awesome tremendous.”

Becky’s eyes sparkled nonstop.

“Are all available?”

“Only until 6 am tomorrow. Besides, it’s not free. You have to pay the points.”

“Ah….”

Becky nodded his head in regret.

“Then, I hope you have a good time.”

With that said, the official politely withdrew.

“He is very kind. To be honest, I thought we wouldn’t be very welcome because we’re wizards….”

Becky looked strangely moved.

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“Hey. I can’t say anything.”

Shortly dismissed Becky’s sentiments. In time, these guys will become twice as good, and they will get used to this kind of treatment.

We looked around the plaza for a while like that. I used to say ‘we’, but in fact, the representatives were chasing after me like chicks.

“-“

“—?”

“-“

I focused only on my observations as I overheard their chattering conversation.

Things to help with the progress of the subjugation, facilities for entertainment and entertainment, and the heart are the same as I heard.

“Flan, so what are you going to spend the 300 points on?”

Then Louis asked me.

“Sure, you’re going to buy the fantasy map first, right?”

“No.”

“Yes. Then, take a map and go to bed early in preparation for tomorrow morning…. Hmm?”

Lewis couldn’t finish his words. His head tilts sideways.

“… Oh, was there anything more important? I may have missed it.”

“That is not true. Because fantasy maps are the most useful.”

“Then I don’t even know. Is our group planning to move in the direction of saving points?”

“That too, absolutely not.”

I shook my head and looked around the delegates.

“You guys, use all of these points from now on.”

“… ?”

“It shouldn’t be difficult. Whether it’s buying things, enjoying entertainment, or indulging in luxury…. You just have to write according to your own taste.”

Becky and Trixie’s heads tilted in the end.

“Uhm, to use it like that?”

“You. What are you thinking?”

“Uh, uh, that’s a very hard-earned score….”

“I will not take any questions.”

Tak-!

I snapped my fingers and manifested telekinesis.

“You are just.”

The bodies of the representatives who were looking at me forcibly turn around and turn towards the entertainment facility.

“You can spend everything.”
