SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar
Chapter Summary
"The truth was that the girl in Beruel's grasp was none other than an Automaton that resembled a human female. Beruel had noticed this from the moment he made contact with it, but he still went on with the act in order to get his information. " The Fairy King stared at the human boy, who still looked flustered.
"What?
You knew?!
"The truth was that the girl in Beruel's grasp was none other than an Automaton that resembled a human female.
Beruel had noticed this from the moment he made contact with it, but he still went on with the act in order to get his information.
'Is he being dishonest?
I don't think so...
my Magic Tool isn't acting up.
' The Fairy King thought to himself.
'Why would he go along with the whole act, though?
Was he trying to glean information from me through this situation?
'The Fairy sighed, discarding the hostage he had in his grasp.
He had completely lost interest in the situation.
"This is pointless.
I don't even feel like fighting any longer.
" The Fairy King stared at the human boy, who still looked flustered.
"You can't fool someone like me with such an imitation.
I also know you're holding back quite a bit.
You were baiting me to display my full power, weren't you?
Such basic tactics...
"The previous image of a hot-tempered and shortsighted Fairy King began to crumble as Beruel gave another deep sigh.
At this point, he was done playing games.
"There's no point for any further conflict.
You're Jared Leonard, right?
""You know my name?
""I...
just remembered.
You're the one giving the Cult trouble, aren't you?
""Yeah...
"Beruel nodded slightly and then shrugged.
"Well, I don't care what you do to the others, but I'll still oppose you.
You see, we all have our reasons for being there, but they all revolve around the Arcanas.
"The human, Jared, looked a bit surprised.
Perhaps he didn't expect such sincerity from the proud Fairy King.
"I also need the Arcanas, so our interests conflict.
""I guess so.
What will you do now, though?
Will you try to take it from me by force?
""There's no need for that.
At least, not now.
Even if I wanted to...
" He glanced at the human boy.
"I only came to ask my questions.
The Arcanas were a bonus, I suppose.
""Why are you looking for Kuzon, though?
""Let's just say it's for revenge.
I desire to kill him.
"The human's face tightened a bit.
"What's wrong?
Will you stand in my way?
""Well, judging from what I've heard...
he seems capable of taking care of himself.
"Both Human and Fairy stared hard at each other in silence.
Finally, the Fairy King broke it.
"We'll see about that.
One last thing...
the way you interact with me, it's almost like we have met before.
Who are you, really?
""Well, that's a secret.
Maybe I'll tell you some other time.
" Jared smiled slyly.
An aura of playfulness, rather than tension, seemed to envelop the area.
"I'm not so sure about that.
You see, this area isn't my allocated territory.
That's why I can't really act.
You might end up dead before our next meeting.
"Beruel's face showed sincerity, so Jared couldn't doubt it.
"Is that so?
Well, I'll take my chances.
""Looks like your comrade are already approaching.
I should take my leave.
Hmm...
""Well, then, till we next meet.
" Jared gave a warm-hearted smile, causing the Fairy King to shudder in discomfort.
He certainly found the human to be...
strange.
"About that—"Before either party could say any more, or even react, a golden flash of light descended from the sky.
