After that, Xiwei chatted with the princess from the north, and the great magician whose achievements were high enough to make ordinary magicians look up to him for a while, and only then did he get up and say goodbye politely.

After Xiwei closed the door and the silent magic array at the door took effect again, the girl suddenly asked the great magician beside her, "Teacher Sharon, what do you think?" ”

"Magical talent can only be considered good, and it is far from good." Madame Sharon thought about it for a moment, and then said, "However, he has a deep understanding of some basic magic, and some of them even point to the essence of magic, and as far as a traveling mage is concerned, this comprehension ability can be called a genius. ”

In the chat just now, the old lady consciously or unintentionally exchanged some magical insights with Sivi, and then she was surprised to find that although Sivi's theoretical knowledge seemed to be only about the magic of the second ring, it had formed a system of its own, and almost all the magic Sivi below the second ring could say their own opinions, and even carried out an in-depth analysis that made Sharon understand.

In that sense alone, Sivi's level of magic far surpassed that of the students she had encountered in the magic academies, who would only rigidly accept the interpretations of traditional magical academia.

Seeing that she was happy to hunt her heart, she even made a vague offer to make Sylvie her student, but the other party politely refused without hesitation in the same cryptic language.

"Yes, the teacher thinks highly of him." Evangeline held her cheeks, and there was a thoughtful expression on her face.

She naturally heard the meaning of Sharon wanting to accept Xiwei as a student, and the girl knew that for her teacher, who was a great magician, it was not strange that ordinary geniuses or something had long been accustomed, and even she reluctantly became the other party's disciple because of her identity as a princess.

However, this time, not only did she take the initiative to accept that Traveling Sect mage as a disciple, but what was even more incredible was that the other party actually refused......

You must know that Sharon is the head of the royal mage of the Illian Empire, one of the only two great magicians in the empire, and the patriarch of the Lange magic family!

is such a person with countless halos who took the initiative to accept him as a student, but he actually refused!

In Evangeline, who was born in the royal family and is accustomed to making use of all the resources and strength available around her, Xiwei's actions are no longer arrogant or unscrupulous, and what must be said is simply unreasonable!

It's like the actions of a completely unsophisticated person.

Isn't Xiwei sophisticated? Apparently not.

In fact, from beginning to end, except for the time when his emotions were slightly out of control because of Theo, Sivi has always maintained a polite appearance, and easily avoided some tentative traps in the girl's words.

And......

"Although the information collected before mentioned that he has traveled to most of the Eastern Plains, he has a little too much knowledge of many things." The girl sighed softly. Even if she has a royal library at home, and has been trying to absorb new knowledge in her spare time, she can clearly understand in the short chat just now that her knowledge is not as rich as Xiwei's—that guy can pull out an interesting or profound allusion with a casual sentence, and it is also the kind of justified with time and place......

"Anyway, let the intelligence services gather more information about him." The girl, who had no clue, simply gave up and continued to think, and said with a final word: "Teacher, let's take a good look at the performance of that Mr. Edric in this incident." ”

☆

After leaving the room, Sivi first breathed a great sigh of relief. …,

Madame Sharon is fine, but Her Royal Highness's words are full of all kinds of traps, although he doesn't have any major problems, but if he exposes his unusual aspects, no matter how he thinks about it, there will be no good things waiting for him.

So he could only pretend to be stupid and use all kinds of knowledge and allusions that he had learned because of his promotion to divert the topic.

But this is not the most important thing in all things, just now Mrs. Sharon's words implied that she wanted to take him as a student, and Sivi naturally heard it.

On his own terms, there was nothing wrong with being a student of a great magician...... At least there's a tiger skin to pull in the future, right?

However, just as he was about to say yes, the tattoo on the back of his hand suddenly turned red.

This was the first time this kind of change had occurred since Sivi had obtained this seal, and he was naturally startled and immediately opened the magic academy system to see what had happened.

"'You can't be someone else's apprentice'...... Is this the limitation of the system? Sivi sighed with some regret.

But it's normal to think about it, since it's a system to make Xiwei the dean of the magic academy, it's naturally impossible to let the dean of Yijie worship others as teachers.

So even though it was a pity, Sivi had to refuse the other party's proposal with great seriousness.

After Sivi refused, the tattoo turned blue again. This made Sivi wonder what would happen if he accepted the other party's offer...... However, considering that curiosity killed the cat, Sivi decided not to experiment with this possibility.

Soon, Sivi adjusted his mentality, stopped sighing, and walked out of the staircase corridor quickly.

And the first thing he saw was Theo standing alone in the corner, looking blankly at the extremely lively banquet not far away.

For some reason, Evangeline's words came to Sivi's mind again.

[Compared to his own children, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the duke, Tio is more like a 'bargaining chip' with his mother. 】

Chips...... Sivi silently chewed on the word for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

was used as a bargaining chip by his biological father, alienated by his servants, persecuted by his stepmother, and even suffered a danger to his life for a time.

Even though he was still so young, there was no one around him who had good intentions towards him. This is probably the reason why Theo always looks so indifferent to nothing.

"Theo," Sylvie beckoned to the little girl with a nonchalant smile.

The girl turned her head, and the expression on her face changed slightly.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Xiwei reached out and touched her long silver hair: "Why are you here alone?" Where's Alyssa's girl? ”

"There." The girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the side of the banquet: "Take the food." ”

This banquet seems to be funded by Her Royal Highness the Princess, of course, no one knows anything except the goblin, and the banquet is also a common buffet form, but the food is very expensive.

It seems that Alyssa has gone to eat because she can't resist the temptation of food.

"Then why don't you go with you?" Sivi asked curiously.

“…… Noisy, don't like it very much. The girl replied softly.

"Yes." Sivi looked at the quiet girl, as if she had made a decision, and the smile on her face faded: "Theo." ”

“？”

"Would you like to be my student?" With what little money he had left, he bought a student ID: "It's not a good place yet, but would you like to build our own home with me?" ”

A single fool didn't notice how ambiguous his words were, so he took out an admission letter and handed it to the girl, quietly waiting for the other party's answer. …,

“…… I," the girl looked at Sivi with a calm look like a pool of stagnant water, "I can't give you anything." ”

"All I need is this guy Tio, and I have nothing to do with Skanji, the Duke, Noig, or anything like that." Sivi maintained the posture of handing out the admission letter and said softly.

"But......" The girl lowered her eyes, as if she was afraid of something.

At this time.

"Theo~ I brought a lot of food here!" Alyssa's voice came, and the blonde girl with two ponytails was carrying a mountain of various foods, and people couldn't help but worry about whether the collapsed plate would wobbly like this side: "Let's eat together~"

"Wow wow! Miss Elisa, be careful! The obese goblin waved his arms in fear, looking as funny as a toad.

Sivi withdrew his gaze from his first student, and then said in a voice full of smiles, "It seems that I am not the only one who is looking forward to you joining us. How's it going, Tio? ”

“…… Really, can you? The silver-haired girl also came back to her senses, hung her head, stared blankly at the marble floor, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "...... Even if it's me, can I really do it? ”

"Isn't the answer obvious?" Sivi replied without hesitation.

So the girl finally raised her head, and her little hands trembled and took the admission notice from Sivi's hand.

"Welcome, then, Dio-san." As if he had let go of some burden, his smile suddenly relaxed, and he stroked the girl's hair and said.

“…… Yes, Teacher. ”
