The sword Philip gave me was as thin as a rapier, and was studded with jewels like a decorative item.

“… Why is this?”

“The sword can be possessed by spirits. I don’t have a name yet, so the professor can come up with one or whatever you like.”

“I can feel the power of nature in that sword.”

Eponel, who was examining the sword from afar, said. Philip nodded.

That sword was originally planned to be in the hands of one of the main villains, ‘Spirit Princess Safina’.

She was an excellent Elementalist who could command the highest level of fire and wind spirits at will, and was also a swordsman who had reached the level of an Aura Master.

In the latter half, the main character also reaches the level of an Auror Master, and his colleagues also reach the edge, so it is not too difficult to defeat either a top-level elemental lyricist or an Auror Master.

However, the sword Felicia is holding now turns Safina into a terrible monster.

A new power was born by fusing the power of the spirit and the aura.

‘Orson was selling that. Good luck like this is rare.’

Philip thought so and explained how to use it.

“Ask the spirit to dwell in the sword, then inject magic into it.”

Feeling an irresistible aura from Philip now, Felicia decided to follow his orders.

“uh… … huh. Can you come in here for a minute?”

-nah

And was immediately rejected.

“hahahaha, spirits don’t lend their power right away just because they signed a contract. If we stay together for a long time, get to know each other, and truly trust and love each other, we will be happy to help.”

Elementalist Eponel smiled and explained. Philip sensed something was wrong.

“that… If so, how long does it usually take?”

At Philip’s question, Eponel thought for a moment before answering.

“Securon only opened up to me after five years. It depends on the person, but wouldn’t it take at least 2 to 3 years? It may be difficult even after decades. It would be difficult right now if you weren’t born with an affinity like the elves.”

‘No, I should have said that earlier.’

Phillip, dumbfounded, bit his lip.

It was unavoidable because he lacked knowledge about the spirits.

‘… But, well, it’s okay.’

He looked at Felicia.

She stared at Ignis awkwardly holding the sword Philip had gifted her.

Like a pure spirit, even though she had the appearance of a wolf, her eyes were kind and gentle, and Felicia seemed to have fallen in love with the fluffy flame wolf.

‘I like it that much, so what can I do?’

Philip laughed, shaking his hands.

“… Thank you so much for today. Mr. Jung. If you ever need my help, please feel free to contact me through the branch manager over there.”

“It was nothing.”

Eponel said goodbye and disappeared.

An awkward silence fell over the villa he had left.

“I’m also busy with work at the top, so stop… .”

Unable to endure the silence, Rizriel ran away first.

* * *

As if running away, Philip returned to his room and picked up Neria, which he had put on the bed.

―I was sleeping well… .

“After that, get some more sleep, and look at this for a second.”

—… What are you doing?

“I just realized something.”

Saying that, Philip blew magic into Neria’s handle.

The process was similar to the usual Aura formation, but something essential felt a little different.

-What is this? Oh, it’s cold!

‘It’s a success.’

—… huh? uh huh Why, why is this so cold? Master, what the hell did you do?

There was even fear in Neria’s voice. Not intending to startle him, Philip immediately withdrew his spell.

“It seems like you’ve succeeded in changing the nature of your magical powers?”

-yes? why? no, how? Will that work?

“I came to see the spirits earlier, and they said that the natural powers they handle are fundamentally no different from magical powers. Something like light, for example. Although the light from the sunlight and the tail of the fireflies seem to be different. Fundamentally, they belong to the same energy.”

—… You’re saying it on purpose so I don’t understand, right?

“If I bring the archmage instead of you, they won’t understand. In any case, magic power eventually exists as an ideal wavelength, which is an energy that exists after all… … .”

―Kyaaa! Aww! Ebebebebebe!

Neria’s sudden scream forced Phillip to keep his mouth shut, unable to satisfy the urge to explain.

“Is it that hard to listen to a little bit of that?”

―Neria would rather listen to obscenities.

“You are really too much.”

While chatting, Philip soon felt someone walking down the aisle.

‘Something to come has come.’

He got up from his seat and prepared his mind.

And the door opened without knocking. Of all the people in this villa, there was only one person who could open the door without knocking.

“Hello, sister?”

“… .”

It was a visit from Felicia Oswald.

She fidgeted with her hair, avoiding Philip’s gaze. However, as if determined to something, she bit her lip and finally stared straight at him.

“In the end, this is what you were going to do, so why did you act so mean… ?”

The moment she spoke, she put on an oops expression. Philip responded, forcing himself to suppress a burst of laughter.

“I was really sorry then.”

Then Felicia burst into tears.

“You’re going to be so sorry, why did you do that back then?”

Felicia was no fool.

I knew that Philip was no longer going to the salon where he stayed longer than at home, and that he was guiding the students diligently.

It is also that he has changed so much that he has never been annoyed while facing her hateful gaze.

Felicia somehow seemed to know what she was thinking while preparing the spirit contract and mithril sword.

‘They don’t want to see me lose.’

It was clear that Philip thought that Felicia would lose the match against the Silver Knight.

The moment her thoughts went crazy, Felicia had no choice but to admit it.

That my brother’s long wandering might be over.

She walked over to Philip and wrapped his arms around his neck as if he were putting on a joint. Philip, rather embarrassed, embraced her.

Philip could hear her voice whispering in his ear.

“… If you change again, then I will never really forgive you.”

It was the moment when the brother-sister fight that had been going on for 7 years came to an end.

* * *

After a dramatic reconciliation embrace with Felicia, Philip returned to the backyard first.

Ignis, the high-level fire spirit, was already reverse summoned because Felicia’s affinity was too low to maintain the materialized higher-level spirit.

‘… i never give up How much does he cost?’

Philip gritted his teeth and vowed to come up with a way to use Ignis in the shortest time.

Clearly there must be a way somewhere.

But right now, they had to come up with other moves to win in Dalian.

“Did you reconcile well with the professor?”

Before I knew it, Instructor Diana approached and asked. Philip could see that she had pushed Felicia on the back.

“yes. thanks I will repay you someday. Instructor.”

“You don’t have to. It’s because it makes me uncomfortable to look at.”

“… .”

After thinking for a moment, Philip looked at Diana and asked.

“How about a game of Dalian? I have something to show you.”

Diana widened her eyes, saw Philip’s expression, and nodded. I had never seen him look so serious.

“If the instructor wants it.”

The two soon faced each other with wooden swords.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t even know Instructor Philip’s skills.’

Diana Fahrenhal thought as she stared at the poised Philip.

It was the posture of holding a longsword-length wooden sword with both hands and aiming for the opponent’s center line.

Nothing special, nothing bad.

But she remembered the skills he showed during the observation class.

Diana also tried to imitate it, but even after more than 15 days, a similar phenomenon has not occurred.

‘I’m looking forward to it. What should I show you?’

“Didn’t you say you had something to show me? Please come in first.”

Diana flicked her wooden sword.

“Take a good look. Instructor.”

Philip took the lead without hesitation. The wooden sword covered with sword energy moved slowly, and Diana also raised her aura.

“Suck!”

With great spirit, Philip aimed his wooden sword at Diana’s side.

Since it was an ordinary flat slash, Diana moved half a beat quickly to block the attack.

Defending before the full power of the slash was no different from the basics of swordsmanship.

She made a perfect defense at the perfect timing, but something was off. I felt unimaginable pressure in my wrists and arms.

“… uh?”

Her gaze moved spontaneously, and she was able to confirm it immediately.

Philip’s sword spirit rotates fiercely and cuts off his own aura in an instant.

She tried to hold on by force, but it was not enough, so she eventually lost the wooden sword.

“… ?”

It was a complete defeat, but she did not feel any sense of defeat or inferiority.

I’ve been holding a sword since I was 10 years old, and this year is 17 years.

After an attack she hadn’t even imagined for such a long time, she was truly bewildered.

“How is it?”

Philip asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Just that. The principle is not difficult, so the instructor should be able to do it easily.”

“… .”

Philip tilted his head as he looked at Diana, who was holding her wrist with a dazed expression.

Diana came to her senses after a while. She was still staring at Philip with slightly unfocused eyes.

“You mean teach me this? this… great rain… ?”

“I just rotated the aurora to increase the cutting power and impact. It’s embarrassing to even call it rain. Besides, after all, my older sister is a friend, so what else can I teach you?”

For a moment, Diana’s anger was intense.

‘If that’s not Biggie, then what’s mine?’

Of course, she also had a secret technique passed down from the Farrenhal family.

Its name is ‘Maelstrom’. It was a technique that drove six attacks in an instant.

Of course, even if there were 20 biggies like the Maelstrom, they wouldn’t be able to trade it for the one skill Philip had just shown.

“Could it be that you invented the technology yourself?”

Philip nodded at her question.

“yes. It’s not a grandiose technology enough to be called an invention, and it’s true that I made it. name is… You could call it a revolving sword. If you can do this, will you have a chance against the Silver Knight? It’s a catch technique, but it’ll be useful, right?”

At his words, Diana felt an empty laugh come out.

‘what? Catching skills?’

I could feel that Philip wasn’t doing it with bad intentions.

However, Diana’s stomach was upset.

‘… Unlucky.’

Unknowingly, Diana pursed her lips and narrowed her brows.

‘Why are you like that?’

Philip just tilted his head.
