19 – Scene 019# Talent

Mondry looked at me with a shocked expression.

“Bae, how did the Count name that… .”

Knowing Myoheil’s identity means knowing the secret of the Cremont family.

However, Myoheil’s expression did not change.

“hahahaha. I didn’t expect that there would still be people who remember the name he used in the world.”

The Cremont family has the longest history among the seven magical families in the empire.

Myoheil was the first head of Cremont, and the first legendary wizard to receive the name of a sage.

Then he became a spirit creature and was enjoying life to this day.

“However, the name Cremont has been abandoned for a long time. The imperial family wanted to put this old man in the position of president, but it was so annoying that they handed everything over to this nerdy disciple.”

“Master! I’m sorry to hear you say that!”

At those words, Mondry became furious.

“Why? Weren’t both the head of Cremont and the president of the university the positions you wanted?”

“Both of these positions are earned by my abilities!”

“You bastard! So did you become a sage after all?”

“It’s not… .”

Myohail clicked his tongue.

“Tsk tsk… It’s worth just looking at it. Isn’t it that you don’t even practice meditation anymore because you’re a bit older?”

“Yes? Ah, no, practicing magic in my spare time is a bit… .”

“Yeki! The less you use magic, the duller it gets! Because of this, even if the head of the Cremont family had no choice, I was going to hand over the position of president to Milliam.”

An unexpected name popped up.

“To a guy who couldn’t even use that magic, he’s the president of the Magic University! On top of that, he was younger and had less experience than me!”

“huh. He was also my disciple. So are you saying my eyes are wrong?”

“Master! Isn’t that the story?”

You said that Millium was Myoheil’s disciple?

It’s the first thing I found out.

There was a lot of information that even I didn’t know since Milliam is a character who doesn’t appear in the original work.

“In addition, he has a better eye for people than you.”

“Yes?”

“If it was him, he would have selected the students without those useless magic tools.”

At this point, Mondry feels sorry for him.

The sight of a white-haired old man struggling with a cat was grotesque.

Myohail clicked his tongue.

“Tsk… But don’t worry. Even if I went back then, I would have left the position of president to you.”

“Yes?”

“He had a big problem… .”

Myoheil slowly approached me.

“Milliam judged the world only by its value. So it was efficient and never lost anything. But there was no emotion there. It was like an empty shell.”

Amber eyes watching me intently.

It was shining like the eyes of a wild animal.

“Isn’t it? Count. No, son of Milliam.”

Myohail’s long beard snapped.

he’s looking for me

Having lived for over a thousand years in the body of a human and a cat, his animal senses were unimaginably sensitive.

Because he could read even the fragments of the other person’s faint emotions with only his senses.

However, I had no intention of showing even the slightest agitation to Myoheil.

Similarly, my individuality, ‘Pride’, did not allow it.

*This personality is one of the Seven Sins.

[You use ‘Pride’!]

pounding.

‘dare… .’

Unpleasant feelings came up.

A feeling of suffocation, like being suffocated.

‘Something like you… .’

I met Myoheil’s sharp gaze.

As a legendary wizard and sage

Even if he finds out who I am, I won’t mind.

I won’t teach him anything.

he is older than me

he’s worse than me

he is inferior to me

He dares… can’t do anything about me

[You use ‘Patience’!]

[Your ‘pride’ is suppressed by ‘patience’.]

I said, stepping on the brakes with patience.

“… Is this also part of the test you speak of?”

“Hoo… ? this this… Sorry. This old man often stares blankly at people… Heh heh heh.”

Myohai touched his beard with the cat’s hand.

Then, as if he didn’t know anything, he deftly turned around.

“hahahaha. The judging is done by me and Mondry. There is probably no other judging panel as luxurious as this one, right?”

“… Do what you like. Wendy.”

“Nyeet!”

I slowly approached Wendy.

Until then, her big eyes were not avoiding me.

“If you fall, I will kick you out.”

“Hey?!”

“Aren’t you confident?”

“So, can I be honest… ?”

“Isn’t the fact that you’re already asking that question a sign that you’re not confident?”

“Right… This school is a school for old and high-ranking people… . It’s not a place that I dare to enter… .”

Wendy cried.

“Black… Well, I’m too short to serve the Count up close… I make a lot of mistakes… I cry so often… sniff.”

Saying that, Wendy bowed her head.

I already knew.

+

character profile.

Name: Wendy.

Age: 12.

Occupation: Exclusive maid of Count Ruelberta.

Personality: Crybaby, foolishness, sickness, misfortune

+

It’s a miserable personality.

A maid who is sickly and lives with misfortune as a crybaby.

A girl with no use whatsoever.

Plus, for me, a walking death flag.

However, the reason I made this guy my exclusive possession wasn’t just with the intention of keeping him by my side and watching over him so he wouldn’t die.

It was a waste.

It was a waste of a character called Wendy to treat it as a discard card.

Sora, the original author, once told me.

-Every character in the story exists for a reason. There is no character without a reason.

yes. I agree with that.

Why I loved this story so much.

Because there are no characters to throw away.

At least, even Tristan is a necessary villain in the story.

“Wendy.”

“… Yes. sniff… .”

Although it may seem like a useless character because of its personality, Wendy is also a named character.

with a personality… There is a reason.

alive… There is a reason.

I believe so.

“Don’t be foolish.”

“… black!”

“How did you climb the stairs of truth earlier?”

“That, that… Thanks to the Count’s help-“

“Wrong. It came up on your own two feet.”

“I-I couldn’t even get up there until the Count caught me… ! Because he is a coward and a crybaby-”

I sighed.

Recalling the lines I said to him the other day.

“Doesn’t he cry when he’s tired? I fell every day and broke a lot of dishes.”

“Huh… I’m sorry… .”

“But even if I didn’t raise you up every time, didn’t you always get up again?”

“… yes?”

“That is your talent. Wendy.”

“… … .”

Silence ensued.

Eventually, Wendy spoke in a trembling voice.

“… … I can only do that… .”

“Know.”

“Oh, just… I can only do one thing… ?”

“yes. Okay.”

“I, really… ? Are you okay with that… ?”

“… I won’t say it twice.”

“Sniff… Ehehehehe… .”

Wendy laughed, covered in tears and runny nose.

Then he said, wiping away tears with the collar of his coat.

“Bae, if the Count says so, he will be right… .”

And with a smile I’ve never seen before.

“I-I believe in the Count… !”

“… Do what you like.”

“Nyeet!”

“Heh heh heh… .”

At that time, Myohail laughed and intervened between us.

“Little girl, are you ready?”

“Nyeet!”

“I’m full of energy. Since the Count is also with us, I will explain the contents of the test. The specialist exam is… .”

Myohail’s eyes curved like a crescent moon.

“You are competing against me. Heh heh heh.”
