The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 45: Law Collapse and New Laws

I see.

The law was broken.

Ive seen a lot of unusual things before coming here, and Ive seen some laws based on them.

No, it didnt collapse.

It would be more correct to say that a new law has been found.

The day of the entrance exam.

At the designated time, Kunon came to the reception desk again with Linco.

The receptionist they had met about a month ago remembered them, and said, From here on out, its for test takers only, but.

But she clammed up as she looked at Kunon.

It was probably because of his stylish eye patch and cane.

She thought about his blindness.

Oh, Im fine on my own. The only problem is that I feel lonely when Im separated from Linco.

What a coincidence, Mr. Kunon. Me too. Cant you bribe your way out of this?

No, dont try to give me a hundred bucks. I told you to start with ten thousand. If you are okay with one person, please leave the rest of us alone.

The exam will be over in the morning, so why dont you go to a coffee shop somewhere and have some tea?

Oh, Im going to go eat something sweet then. Good luck, Kunon!

Linco left quickly.

What is the relationship between you and that maidservant?

I wondered what was going on with that maidservant.

She was acting like she was worried about Kunon, but she wasnt, and she was gone.

I wonder whats going on. Its always like this, so I dont know. But attractive women have a mysterious side, so I think this is good.

Oh, really?

Im sure you have a mysterious side too. For example, you dont have a name.

What do you mean with you dont have a name? My name is Rubella

The receptionist was surprised.

She was so dumbfounded that she almost said her name as if she had fallen for the talk of a clever pick-up artist.

Rubella. Its a nice name. I especially like the sound of Ru and Bella. It sounds like a combination of Ru and Bella.

My name has just been discovered.

Im not sure what hes saying.

The maidservant is one thing, but this girl is another.

Rubella, the receptionist, thought that she would get tired if she had to deal with him seriously, so she decided to quickly guide him to the exam room.

We went out the back door of the building where the reception desk was.

From here, youll be on the grounds of the magic school.

The receptionist explained to the blind Kunon.

She was told that there were school buildings and special buildings in the distance, so she just gave him the general direction and went on.

Wow.

Kunon was already excited.

The distance is quite large, but I can still see it.

From here on out, within the grounds of the magic school, I can sense a number of powerful magical powers. It must be the magical power of the renowned teachers.

I couldnt wait to meet with so many respected teachers, talk with my friends, and do all kinds of experiments.

Do you know the outline of the exam?

First, the practical skills. First, theres a practical test to see how good the candidate is at magic, then theres an interview and a written test for each attribute. But in the end, I heard that ninety percent of the exam is decided by the practical skills.

Thats generally true. If youre good at magic, you should be able to understand magic theory, so the result of the written test is obvious.

Even if you cant do it, you can learn it later, they say

The problem is the interview.

In the case of a person who is not suitable for a magic school, such as a person who loves hurting people or a person who openly steals peoples research results, this is done to prevent such dangerous people from entering the school.

Sorcery is power.

Power is a weapon.

Weapons can be used to protect people, but they can also be used to harm people.

The reason why we have a minimum age limit is because we want to make sure that the magician is of a certain mental age and has a proper personality.

However, power can make people crazy.

People change when they have power.

There are few, but not all, sorcerers who have personality problems.

There are all kinds of people in this world. Its scary. You have to be careful, Rubella. Marriage fraud.

I should warn you that I am known to be a very guarded woman. I admit that I accidentally gave you my name because you are a child, but I am not one of those cheap women.

Too much firmness can be fragile, though. For example, once youve given your heart to a man, youll break down and drown in him and then he will say that you are too heavy and throw you away. I think what you need is flexibility.

Rubella was at a loss for words to reply.

Youre a child.

It was as if he knew about it beforehand, and he hit Rubellas bitter memory right on the head. What a horrible kid.

Im not sure Id throw away a woman as attractive as Rubella if I were him.

Uhm

She became a little nervous.

Hes a child.

He is really a terrible child.

Kunons words are still the same as those of Iko, with whom he used to talk a lot. He doesnt really know what love is.

We arrived at the test site where we were to take the practical test.

It was an open space with nothing around.

There were already three people there.

Please wait here.

The receptionist, who had become afraid of Kunon in many ways, quickly pulled away.

The three previous guests looked at Kunon as he arrived.

It seems they have a dubious feeling about the arrival of a child who is blind

In the presence of these three people, Kunon was surprised.

I see.

I was surprised and convinced.

I used my mirror eye to check the place and people at a glance, and then I looked around.

The laws of physics were broken.

There was a silver-haired woman wearing a white robe.

She was about the same age as Kunon.

She was carrying a huge hoop that emitted a faint golden light.

Ive seen that kind of thing before in picture books about mythology.

It was a halo.

On her back, there was something that looked like a materialized halo.

The other two were the same.

An adult about twenty years old and a boy about the same age.

The adult had a bright red lizard wrapped around his body.

Or should I say, wrapped around him.

Around the boy, there is something like confetti flying.

Ive seen that before sometimes its something that mixes with the wind blowing through nature.

The laws of people that we have been looking at have been broken.

So far, they had fallen into three patterns: something was coming out of the person, something was growing out of the person, and something was acting around the person.

And Kunon was the only one who was carrying a huge crab outside of himself, not inside of him.

He wondered if he was an exception to the rule, or if it was just an incomprehensible illusion and there was no reason for it.

No, there was no reason. This was probably the difference between ordinary people and magicians.

The ordinary person has it inside him.

The sorcerer has it on the outside.

Its only tentative at this point, but its probably right.

I still dont know what it is that Im seeing, but I dont think it violates this law.

Zeonly who was too bright to be seen can be interpreted differently now.

I believe that something outside of him was shining and hiding him. It doesnt matter if its his unshakable confidence or not.

I see!

Kunon muttered once again.

Im not sure what it is that Im seeing, but I know for sure that it has something to do with magic.

If its not just an illusion, then its also a subject for research.

Kunon hoped that he would be able to solve this mystery soon.
