If you ask who Percival admires, there are probably many, high mages, legendary mages, and sages who have developed magic to the extent that it is today, these are the objects of Percival's worship.

But when it comes to the people whom Percival envies, then, Siris. Oldman's name should be the first to appear.

Yes, Percival envied Siris, envied him so much.

When Percival was trying to maintain a good relationship with his classmates and become the leader of the crowd like he had done at his previous magic school, Siris appeared.

In the first class, Sirius became famous by asking the professor with a question.

Then, Cyris's brilliant talent for magic caught the attention of almost everyone, and Parcival, whose classmates he had maintained on his cleverness, were barely worth mentioning, and everyone revolved around Cyris alone.

Originally, if he could stay away from Siris, Percival would not care much, but coincidentally, he and Siris were sorted under the same mentor, and more importantly, Percival met Lysa.

The girl was so noticeable that at the first sight of her, Percival knew that she was in love.

But what Percival didn't expect was that her gentle and considerate Lysa turned a blind eye, and she actually fell in love with the wooden-headed, magic-only Siris!!

Percival felt like a dark cloud over his life, and that cloud was Siris. Oldman!

However, who would have thought that in the second year of school, there was a huge problem with Ciris's graduation thesis research, and he suddenly fell silent, and even his mentor Puerdo, who was originally optimistic about him, stopped asking, and until he graduated, Siris failed to make any more waves.

And Percival, taking advantage of the conflict between Lysa and Siris, booed and asked for warmth, and finally moved Lysa, and the two got married after graduation, Percival stayed at school as an assistant teacher, and Lysa was a full-time wife at home.

What Percival didn't expect was that Siris didn't leave the school, and he often appeared on campus to explain his papers to people, and although most people thought he was crazy, Parcival didn't.

Siris is a true genius, and Percival knows that he has only gone astray now, and if he gets back on track, he will burst out with energy that he cannot match.

On this day, he was about to go back to the office to sort out the class materials after a class, but suddenly saw that familiar figure.

It was Siris, who slipped into the campus again.

Parcival saw that several school guards had also noticed Cialis's whereabouts, and he followed, and when he saw Ciris talking to a girl being taken away by the guards, he sighed and spoke to the guards.

"Let me do it."

When the guard saw Percival, he saluted, and then let go of Siris.

"Have you had enough?"

Percival said to Siris, but Siris apparently didn't pay attention to Percival.

"How did you end up here...... How could it be ......"

Siris kept muttering to himself, ignoring Percival.

"Siris, I'm telling you this for Lysa's sake, if you can get rid of your so-called imaginary number, at least ......"

Before Percival could finish his words, Siris had already smashed it with a fist.

Buzz –

Parcival, who switched to the elemental system, had already successfully promoted to the third ring, and a magical barrier immediately opened in front of him, and Siris's fist seemed to hit a transparent wall, but the impact had not yet subsided, and a little blood oozed from Siris's hand, which showed the power of this blow.

"You...... You took Lyza ......"

Siris's face was hideous, and he stared at Percival with bloodshot eyes.

"Take it away?"

Percival looked at Siris, because he had been focusing on his thesis, Siris's magic level had not improved much compared to when he first entered the school, it was still a link, and he had become skinny and weak after a long period of mental exhaustion, at this moment, Percival could finally look at Siris as a person looking down.

"It was you who gave up Lyza, for your worthless papers and research, you look at me, originally, you were the center of attention, and I was just a vain metric, but now, our positions have been completely reversed, I am the winner in life, and you are just a loser."

Percival was also a little excited, and he roared angrily as he became a little paranoid from years of jealousy.

"Siris, hehe, I didn't expect you to have this day, clinging to meaningless things, and finally ruining your future."

"But that's the right theory, whether it's the derivation process or the final conclusion, it's right."

Siris said as if talking to himself, and suddenly, Siris looked up at Percival.

"What's more important to you?"

His question of unknown meaning made Percival stunned.

Percival saw his former self in the eyes of Siris, and once upon a time, Parcival was blushing over a magical question, staying up all night thinking about a magic model, and forgetting to sleep or eat to get an answer.

But later, Percival knew that these were meaningless, even if he didn't study so much, he could still learn magic, he could continue to advance, relying on connections and means, he could continue to rise through the ranks in the school and in the Magic Association, and the reason why he switched from the law department to the elemental department was also because elemental magic was more practical and easier to master than the difficult to apply law system.

Siris's question is vague, but clear.

What is more important to Percival?

Is it lovers, career, money, fame?

Or is it the quest for truth?

There is no doubt that Siris chose the latter, while Parcival, abandoning the search for truth, chose all that remained.

There was a buzz in his head, and Parcival was already waving his arms.

Bang –

With a loud bang, Siris flew upside down and slammed into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of dirty blood and coughing incessantly.

"I ......"

Percival realized what he had done, and he wanted to see how Siris was doing, but his feet were as if they were infused with heavy metal, and he couldn't move.

Siris got up slowly, he didn't say anything, didn't even look at Percival, then leaned against the wall and slowly left.

"I'm doing the right thing......"

Parcival muttered to himself, looking in the direction in which Siris had left.

He's got everything he wants, Parcival thought.

But why, there is always a gap in my heart that can't be filled no matter what?
