The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

36 – {Do not touch} 2

{Do not touch}

“Oaaa!”

How much time has passed?

Jade felt like even her sense of time was being messed up.

It was as if I was constantly suffering in a slowed-down time.

‘Tea, isn’t it an illusion?’

And when the pain subsided and she was able to look around, Jade realized that the feeling was not an illusion.

‘Is everyone stopped? No, it’s moving minutely!’

Not to mention the Yuria Arsane he was aiming for, as well as numerous students from the academy, all of which moved very minutely.

Time around him was passing so slowly that it seemed as if time had stopped!

“In the time that flows slowly at a rate of 1/1000, I can make you continuously suffer from twisting inside… What do you want? Tell me how you want it.”

The fact that time passes slowly at 1/1000, Jade, a wizard, realized even in pain how absurd this was.

‘No, that’s ridiculous! 1 In 1000?’

Slowly passing time was a possible power in the realm of archmages.

However, even that was limited to 10x acceleration and 10x deceleration.

It was magically impossible to make the time of the world itself flow slowly at a rate of 1/1000, and to allow not only oneself but also others to have a normal timeline even in such a slowed-down flow of time.

No, the fact that there is a being with such power doesn’t make any sense at all!

“Okay, I was wrong! No, I was wrong!”

Jade Miller threw all his pride away at this moment.

He thought he was a special human being.

Born in a prestigious family that produced great wizards, he was overcome with arrogance and took it for granted.

He thought that for a proud man like himself, the best woman with perfect beauty like Yuria Arsane, background as a duke, and excellent swordsmanship skills would be suitable.

But the reality was different.

‘This, this guy is a monster!’

He was overcome with baseless confidence, that is, arrogance, that a proud man like himself would be able to make Yuria Arsein fall for him with just a day’s date, and he realized his subject.

The man occupying such a woman was a monster beyond imagination!

* * *

Jade Miller, that person bet on Yuria, but what Theodore felt was a quiet anger.

Feeling a surging rage in the stillness, as if everything had stopped, he tried to find out what Jade Miller was thinking when she said that.

Since the influence of the Duke of Arsene is limited, he cannot properly retaliate against himself, and if a duke of another country retaliates, he may not be able to gain support from public opinion within the Britannian Empire if he retaliates with a trivial matter of requesting a date. There would have been a calculation.

Unlike openly flirting with William, he had an excuse that he was trying to ask her out on a date. He must have calculated that it would be enough if he said, “It’s so beautiful that I just expressed a crush on it.”

But at the root of it all was arrogance.

‘You’re so arrogant.’

Born in a prestigious family, the world seemed easy after winning victories.

She was possessed by a delusion stemming from her arrogance that if she went on a date with Yuria, she would fall for her proud self.

At least, unlike William, he seemed to have put in quite a bit of effort, but even so, it seemed that he had never pushed himself to the limit because of his talent and the status of his family.

‘I wouldn’t have been so angry a few days ago, but that’s bad luck.’

She couldn’t stand it because she was provoked like this after she had given affection to YuRia.

“Quaaa?!”

So she gave him pain to figure out the subject.

Watching Jade repeatedly scream in excruciating pain made him realize the overwhelming difference in status as a wizard.

And it made time go by 1/1000 slowly.

“Oaaa!”

Jade, who had been in pain for a while, slowly began to regain her senses.

And as he looked around he noticed that time was passing slowly.

“In the time that flows slowly at a rate of 1/1000, I can make you continuously suffer from twisting inside… What do you want? Tell me how you want it.”

At Theodore’s words, I could see Jade’s complexion turning into fear.

“Okay, I was wrong! No, I was wrong!”

Theodore looked down at him at the sight of him praying for faults right at him.

“I’ll turn back time, so tell me straight up. What’s the price for not knowing how high the sky is? How dare you not know the subject and mess with my fiancée. Very novel.”

“I-I didn’t know the subject and got greedy!”

Even when Jade, terrified, told Theodore that he had returned time, he was seen begging for forgiveness so urgently that he couldn’t think deeply about it.

The students of Minst Academy whispered when they saw him lying on the floor, begging for something wrong with a terrified look.

“Is Jade-senpai so servile?”

“What happened?”

“According to what I felt, Theodore, that person stole control of Jade-senpai’s magical power. Then, he infiltrated his own magical power and twisted Jade-senpai’s magical power from the inside out.”

“What does that mean?”

“In other words, the difference in skill is so overwhelming. It’s almost as good as a great wizard.”

Students from the Faculty of Magic were explaining what they saw to students from other faculties.

“So you’re a high wizard?”

“Nonsense. A 21-year-old archmage?”

“That couldn’t be…wouldn’t it be?”

Of course confusion came and went. They couldn’t believe that Theodore’s skills were at the level of an archmage.

But Theodore only looked down at Jade with his arms crossed.

“I dared not know the One who is above, and I was presumptuous!”

Even as he looks down at Jade, who is servilely begging for wrongdoing, throwing away all pride while banging her head on the floor, he feels a surprisingly calm state of himself.

‘I can’t get rid of my anger. I must have paid a little too much attention to it.’

It seemed very dangerous to start giving affection to a woman named Yuria Arsane.

She was upset that she was taken lightly.

She was angry that he dared her to say something about her.

Although she was insidious on the inside, as she acted in a twisted manner, she was absurd and absurd from Yuria’s point of view, but she couldn’t be called a severe insult.

It was more insulting to her fiancé Theodore himself than to Yuria Arsein.

Because it was a provocation that she declared that she would ask her fiancé out on a date.

But she was angry that she was targeted more than her own insults.

“Why did you do such a trick to Princess Yuria?”

“You are so beautiful! I don’t know how insignificant I am, and I have dared to go beyond the subject and flirt with the woman of the One above! Please, please, forgive me for my stupidity!”

Jade’s appearance was miserable.

Because he is a magician, he rather understands the power of Theodore, but loses his reason in fear of the great power that cannot be resisted.

Because he is a rational mage, he rather accepts the power gap rationally, and an ironic situation arises in which he loses his reason.

“My God.”

“Jade-senpai went that far!”

“It must have been so scary to twist mana.”

It seemed strange to the students of Minst Academy that Jade Miller, a genius sorceress who was always arrogant and confident, could show such a servile appearance in fear.

Since they don’t know what Theodore’s power is, they don’t understand Jade’s reaction when they see a fraction of his true power, and they think it’s amazing.

“Well, it’s a natural result. A guy who should be sensitive to looking up at the sky is the price of crossing the sky.”

“That, yes! I didn’t know the subject! Please forgive me!”

If he is not forgiven, he seems to be afraid that he will repeat the torture of twisting his magic in the time that flows slowly at 1/1000. And the fear of Theodore himself was also greatly formed by his power itself.

“Belatedly realizing their own folly. It’s common. Those who haven’t tasted the bitterness don’t grasp their subject matter, and indulge in arrogance, mistakenly thinking they’re the best person in the world.”

Listening to Theodore’s words, some people might have said, “Isn’t that you?” But that was the vision of fools who only see fragments.

On the contrary, Theodore prided himself on evaluating himself more objectively than anyone else.

“Jade Miller, you were more gifted as a wizard than most people, right? That would have made you proud of being an exceptional human being, and that would have turned into arrogance. And today, you’re touching a part you shouldn’t be touching. I did something presumptuous, and I paid for it.”

“Please forgive me. Please!”

Jade’s servile figure, shivering in fear worse than death, must have been greatly imprinted on the students of Minst Academy.

And Theodore’s eyes turned to Yuria.

‘I’m fine with this.’

I could see her determination in her eyes.

She seemed to think that having her education to this extent was enough for her.

‘That’s enough. However, I’ll have to nail the warning so that those who try to do presumptuous things don’t come out again.’

It was a huge success in promoting her own presence.

But rather than the joy that his plan was going to go, Theodore was getting a little annoyed at the lingering displeasure that filled his heart.

What Jade Miller did was not a mortal sin.

However, she couldn’t help but want to bring him even deeper pain and despair.

‘I should do this.’

He had already carved a terrible pain into his body, and on top of that, he carved fear into his body and even shattered his pride.

In addition, he publicly humiliated me.

In his heart, whatever thoughts he had, he had already paid for his actions.

This ideal was not suitable for a duel.

“Then I hope you disappear right in front of my eyes. Become a person who can look straight into the sky.”

“Yes, yes! I see!”

It was clear that his reputation and image at Minst Academy, which had been built up over the past four years, would plummet in the future as Jade ran away in a hurry.

But it was his problem, and it was the price he had to pay.

“I’ll tell you in advance, just in case. I’ll always welcome you to challenge me. And I’ll treat you not so harshly like those before me. But if you talk about my fiancée, you’ll pay the price for touching something you shouldn’t.” I’ll do it.”

Theodore said with a little intimidation.

It looked as if they were facing a ferocious beast, but the female students were rather shining their eyes as they were intrigued by Theodore’s beautiful appearance and his overwhelming strength.

It was a very familiar gaze to Theodore, but at the same time it was always a meaningless part.

“I am in a position where I swore to protect her, Princess Yuria, even at the cost of my life, so remember her clearly. I will not forgive her for all her disrespect towards her.”

Having said that, Theodore realized that he had become strangely unreasonable and emotional.

I could see that YuRia was also looking at herself with a slightly surprised expression.
