SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar
Chapter Summary
‘Let’s go greet them…’With that thought, I glided from my heights and descended in a swift manner. Once my focus was away from the golden barrier, it turned into shimmers of light—like fireflies—and dissipated. The barren wasteland around it emitted vestiges of smoke to signify the emptiness caused by an absolute disintegration of the target and its surroundings.
“Now, then…”I looked beneath me and saw Ivan gawking at the sight before me.
The older man who attempted to protect him also did the same.
For someone of his age, he seemed even more flustered than Ivan.

That no longer mattered, though.
‘I’m sure the owner of this patch of land will overlook this damage… since I saved the area.
’>WHOOOOSHHH!
Facing the two gawking men, I smiled warmly and addressed them.
It had been a while since I spoke to humans, after all.
‘… A long while…’“I’m glad to see you’re safe.
”The two looked at me with both surprise and awe.
It was an expected reaction, so I took it in stride.
“What are the casualties?
” I went on to ask.
It took a while for the question to sink in, but afterward, Ivan was the first to speak.
“Three of our classmates went to patrol near the border—where the Demon appeared… they’re probably dead…”For a moment, there was silence in the air.
It was an uncomfortable one, where the atmosphere felt heavy and was about to break into grief and lament.
“I see… so those were the Souls I picked along the way.
That’s alright, then.
The numbers tally.
”Once I said this, Ivan’s eyes bulged and he looked in both anger and surprise.
“Alright?
I said they are—”“I heard you clearly the first time.
There’s no need to be concerned.
Here.
”I threw a pill in Ivan’s direction.
It was of pure white color, shaped like a smooth and round stone—or, more like a pellet.
“Ingest that… and leave the rest to me!
”Ivan still seemed shaken, but I was certain he would regain his complete senses in a while.
Before that, though…“Excuse me, sir.
” I turned to the older man who was with us.
“A—ah… yessh!
I mean, yes?
”“Make sure he ingests the pill.
Also, please retreat to the fort and prepare a meeting room where we can properly have some discussions.
”The man nodded in an instant, making me smile slightly.
‘So, he’s not too caught up with our age gap and has no problem taking orders from someone younger.
Good…’ρꪖnᦔa (nꪫꪣ)ꫀꪶ Though, if I was to be fair… I was older than him by a long margin—even just counting this life alone.
“Alright, then.
I need to take care of business.
Once I’m done, I’ll arrive at the fort.
Tell your soldiers to be at ease and rest up.
As long as I’m here, no harm will befall this region.
”He nodded.
“Good.
”>WHOOOOOSSSHHHH!!!
