I'm really not a top magician

In an instant, four projections appeared above his head, shooting at his limbs and pinning him to the ground.

Severe pain surged into his brain, making him scream.

But this scream makes people feel a little sad.

"Do you think I'll let you escape?"

Kailando looked up in front of him and saw that the person who spoke was Luna.

"You! You—why?"

"—Why am I still alive?"

Luna's face was pale and her voice was weak, like a patient who had just recovered from danger. "Isn't this nonsense? How can I come to see you if I'm not alive? And it's time to return my magic seal to me."

Luna half-knelt down in front of Kailando's right arm.

Amidst Kailando's roar, she took off the magic mark again.

……

Looking at Luna who had regained the magic mark, Kailando's face turned pale:

"Why, you always come to deprive me of my hope again and again."

"I don't know." Luna answered honestly.

Kailando sneered, "Of course you don't know, because you have everything, but me... since twenty years ago, no, my fate has been determined since the beginning. But I still foolishly believe that I can resist all this."

She had no intention of being perfunctory with Kailando. She knew very well that Kailando did all these things because he was jealous of her. He wanted to take revenge on Merlin in this way and prove that he was the one with talent.

However, as the winner and the one chosen by Merlin, she really had no right to blame her father for what he did right or wrong.

"I'm sorry," Luna said suddenly.

"...If you're here to humiliate me, get away from me."

"No, I'm apologizing for what I said before."

Luna said, "Actually, I don't know why Merlin chose me. As a great sage, he is definitely many times smarter than a young man like me. But I choose to believe that he has his reasons."

"What you said is as childish as you are." Kailando laughed. "You are the winner, but you still speak the words of a loser. You have everything, but -"

"—You're wrong. I already had everything." Luna looked seriously at her father on the ground. "I lost you without knowing it."

"..."

Seeing her father's silence, Luna continued, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice your feelings for all these years, and I always showed off my talents in front of you. But today, after seeing Sajo Aige, that inexplicable sense of pride has long since disappeared. Compared to this future king, I'm just an ordinary person with a better life."

"Although it's not the right time to say this, it's what I've always thought. If everything is really predetermined, then that's what I expect, because I am who I am, and no one can change my path."

Kailando turned his head away: "You can go now, victor."

"Then I'll wait for you to come out."

Luna nodded, canceled the projection, and stood up to meet up with Aika Sajo, Leif, and the others.

Kailando cursed to himself, "What a waste of effort."

……

Seeing everyone's joy in solving the problem, Orange walked over to Kailanduo:

"Excuse me for asking, but why have you pushed yourself to this point? Why are you so obsessed with such ethereal things as the Holy Sword and the King of Britain?"

"I've long forgotten the reason."

Celeborn spat out a mouthful of blood. "I only remember that from birth, I was taught about the story of King Arthur and the mission of my family. Everything was done to protect the king's legacy, until one day, as Merlin predicted, a chosen one would draw the holy sword and ascend the throne again."

"Who do you think you are?" Orange exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I'm nothing more than that. I just mistakenly thought I was the chosen one. I once thought that fate could be changed."

"After all, you are too deeply bound by family affairs."

Aozaki Touko sighed in boredom, "Although I have no reason to lecture you, after all, I have done such stupid things before, but I am not as persistent as you. I don't know if fate can be changed, but I understand that if it is not suitable, it is not suitable. Only by letting go of the past can we move on. This is also human instinct."

"Compared to us magicians, the new generation of magicians perhaps understand this simple truth better: I chose this path myself, so I have no regrets."

"Maybe it's just like what Sha Tiao said: I am who I am."

Chapter 34 It’s Not Over Yet [End of Volume ]

the other side,

When Aika Sajo saw that Luna was gone, she felt relieved and handed the holy sword to Luna.

"I return this holy sword to you."

"No, don't give it to me, I don't deserve it."

Luna refused, "This is King Arthur's holy sword. Unless the goblins approve of it, it will be useless even if you give it away. No one else can lift it. So you'd better hold on to it. If you're afraid of attracting attention, you can wrap it up in something."

Luna guessed what Aika Sado was thinking and offered some suggestions.

Seeing that Luna said so, Aika Sajo had no choice but to reluctantly lower the holy sword.

But now, thinking back on everything, she still felt a little magical.

How could a magic novice like me be recognized by fairies and possess a holy sword?

She couldn't even think about it.

But it's also nice to have something like this, as the desk legs are still missing something to stand on.

Look at this holy sword, it should be quite suitable.

……

After seeing off Sajo Aika and the others at the train station,

Luna walked to a deserted place alone and muttered to the air: "Since you are here, why don't you come out to see me!"

Luna's tone was full of complaints.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pink figure emerged from the shadows. The guy holding the magic wand was the great sage, Merlin.

Seeing Merlin appear, Luna stepped forward and hugged his arm. Merlin could clearly feel the softness and elasticity of his arm.

"Oh, you always pester me like this, it gives me a headache! It's not good if others see it." Merlin showed deep distress.

"It's okay, the matter has already been settled," Luna said. "I've booked a room at a nearby hotel. We can spend the whole day and night——"

"Stop, stop! Are all girls nowadays as open-minded as you?" Merlin interrupted.

"Who knows."

Seeing Merlin's anxiety, Luna also showed a lack of interest. "I can't even tease you. Are you here to see Sajo Aika?"

"Can I answer that?" Merlin smiled bitterly.

"You can try!"

Luna let go of Merlin's arm, turned her head away, and slightly lifted the hair by her ear and said, "Thank you for saving me."

"Nothing, just passing by."

"..." Luna glared at Merlin,

This idiot clearly knows it, but he pretends to be ignorant at this time. What a bastard.

Luna sighed in exasperation, "But do you really think Sajo Aika can become king?"

"I do not know."

"Then why do you do so many things?" Luna was a little confused.

This matter could be said to be part of Merlin's plan from beginning to end, but Merlin now said that he didn't know, which made Luna a little unbelievable.

"Luna, you have to understand one thing. Even the greatest sage cannot predict the future," Merlin said. "I draw on my own millennia of experience to believe that Shajo Aige possesses such qualifications."

"So you plan to test her with the Sword in the Stone again?"

Merlin nodded and turned his head to look at Luna: "So what are your plans next?"

The holy sword guarded by the Nalandriel family for generations has been taken away by Shatiao Aige, which means that the mission of the Nalandriel family has long ended.

"I plan to keep an eye on her." Luna turned to look at the train moving further and further away in the distance, "Because I also believe that Sajo Aika has that kind of quality."

Its name is courage.

Because a truly cowardly guy cannot pick up the holy sword!

Merlin looked at the train leaving in the distance, but suddenly noticed that Luna beside him was silent and looking at him seriously. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"..."

Luna was silent for a few seconds, then asked softly, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"What do you want to say?" Merlin blinked. "Um, how do you get rid of a woman?"

"...That's not it!" Luna's voice was filled with impatience. "I mean, don't you want to talk about something else? Something unrelated to Sajo Aika?"

Merlin sighed softly: "Miss Luna, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't play dumb with me anymore."

This time the silence lasted longer, and finally, Luna spoke:

"how have you been?"

"Huh?" Merlin was stunned, sweat breaking out on his forehead. "Not... not so bad."

"Tell me more about that," Luna said, gesturing with her hands. They both had the same habit, Merlin's having been a magician, and it was unknown who Luna had learned it from.

But facing Luna's question, Merlin didn't dare to answer.

So before Luna could react, Merlin had already transformed into petals and disappeared into the air.

Luna looked at the pink petals scattered all over the ground with a frown and snorted coldly:

"I always leave without saying goodbye. I still can't change this bad habit..."

……

Inside the train,

Aika Sajo looked back on what had just happened and suddenly felt it was absurd.

I was clearly here just to try my luck, but why did I get the Command Seals for no reason?

And obtained the Holy Sword for no reason,

She suddenly felt that her luck was so bad.

I wanted to be lazy, but I unexpectedly accomplished so many amazing things.

What should I do if I return to the Clock Tower?

Aika Sajo was very distressed.

While thinking, she turned to look at Aozaki Touko: "Where are you going next?"

After all, Aozaki Touko was still the designated seal of the Clock Tower. If she followed Satsuki to London so blatantly, she would most likely be wanted. However, with Touko's years of escape skills, she wasn't particularly afraid of these people.

But one less trouble is one less thing.

"As for me, I'll fly back to Japan soon."

Orange said, "After I go back, I will send you some gifts, remember to check them."

"You're so polite." Seeing Orange so generous, Sajo Aika was still surprised. "But thank you in advance, Orange."

After expressing her gratitude, Aika Sajo noticed that Leif beside her was frowning.

"Are you thinking about something?" asked Aika Sajo.

"...Nothing," Leif replied seriously. "I was just thinking about Fareus. I still find it strange why he came to participate in this commission."

Leif's question immediately reminded Aika Sajo.

Thinking about the whole thing carefully, it seems that Fareus really didn't do anything useful.

The only thing was to remind Aika Sajo that there was something wrong with her body before leaving.

But judging by his behavior all along, he himself doesn't seem to care about the reward for this commission.

It seems... there is another purpose.
