Infinite Mage – 163



[163] Late lunch (2)

“Whoop whoop.”

Amy who had been watching him for a long time shouted as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Hey! Can’t you just step aside? When people see us they will think that we are gangsters and that you are the victims.”

Marsha who turned her gaze to Amy pouted her lips as if setting her on fire digging deeper into Sirone’s chest.

Amy heard her patience snap.

“I really want to see you so this woman!”

Freeman interrupted Marsha and asked.

“Leave it alone. You must be tired from crying.”

Amy looked at Freeman in bewilderment and pointed at him.

“Aren’t you mistaken about something too? Do you know how much we have suffered because of you? It’s a shame that we won Sirone’s life was almost over!”

That was what really upset Amy. Is it enough if the results are good? If Sirone hadn’t overcome today’s crisis what would have happened after that would have been terrifying to imagine.

It felt like Sirone’s heart was deprived of magic but Amy who had to watch it came back alive from hell.

“sorry. All of the crimes I committed while working as a gang of parrot thieves were my orders. Marsha only faced off against the Association’s pursuers. But if even that is a sin…”

Amy asked crossing her arms.

“if?”

“I will take responsibility for her life.”

Marsha who was being embraced by Sirone jumped up. Then he came over and kicked Freeman in the butt.

“You are laughing! Does anyone have anything to stop the confusion? I don’t need someone like you!”

Although he was a staggered Freeman he still stood there like an old tree. Marsha’s angst was from an early age.

“Sister Marsha.”

Hearing Sirone’s voice Marsha’s shoulders trembled. I didn’t have the courage to look back. The reason why I took my anger out on Freeman was because I was afraid of this situation. Eventually she couldn’t turn around and spoke out.

“Hey… I’m sorry about this. Of course it won’t be forgiven.”

“that’s right. My sister can’t forgive me.”

Marsha turned around with a surprised expression. Sirone’s eyes were cold. The figure that touched the wound a moment ago had disappeared without a trace.

“You kidnapped and used the girl for whatever reason. It’s something you should never do.”

Marsha couldn’t resist and lowered her head. I have never bullied the weak in my life. But I didn’t want to make excuses. It was because Sirone was the one who suffered the most when Yuna was kidnapped.

“Yes I guess. Come to think of it he was the villain of the world.”

“that’s right. My older sister is the world’s villain.”

Sirone said without hesitation. Come to think of it that was his personality. The reason why there is no turmoil when dealing with someone sincerely is because his disposition itself is good not because he likes to mislead the truth or like perjury.

“I will go. I hope my sister gets through it well. And… I hope I never see you again.”

Sirone turned around and walked away without regret. Sympathizing with and understanding Marsha was all he could do.

“Wrong!”

At that moment Marsha mustered up the courage to shout. Sirone did not make any judgment about this incident.

It was the same as stealing pottery from the market. So she had no choice but to approach him first.

“What if I leave like that? I’m just starting At least give us a promise to meet again!”

Sirone who had been standing there for a long time turned around. Because her eyes were still fierce Marsha was nervous like a prisoner waiting for her sentence.

“If you really think I did something wrong I apologize to Yuna. I also apologize to my older brother Jess for making mistakes. We have to compensate the siblings for all the damage they have suffered.”

“of course! Actually I hate this too. I won’t make excuses but I’ll ask for forgiveness from the two of them separately.”

“Even so that doesn’t make the wrongdoing go away. I will never forgive my sister for what she did.”

Marsha’s shoulders drooped. The tears welling up on her crotch looked like they would fall at any moment.

“But if you really choose to live a new life you can forget the past.”

Marsha hurriedly raised her head. And while crying like a child she was hugged by Sirone.

“Aww! It’s my fault!”

Sirone could not soothe the crying Marsha in her arms. In fact it was the first choice I made in my life.

Some people have a harder life than others. Not everyone in the world can fight with their convictions.

So Sirone decided to try to forgive her.

If the point where her change began was him he thought that at least he had the responsibility to watch it.

‘Clay Marsha…’

Maybe that’s why? Sirone suddenly realized.

The fact that Marsha who seemed strong and frightening was actually a woman small enough to hold in her arms.

* * *

Marsha took Sirone and the others to the building. As it was the place where the two wizards had a confrontation not a single piece of equipment remained intact.

The friends could guess how much Shirone had struggled to the death.

“Let’s go to the second floor. I fought and I was hungry. I’ll get you some food. The workmanship is not good.”

At least the second floor was in good condition. A few flower pots were broken on the floor.

Sirone and the others waited for the food to be served.

Yuna was also sitting in her seat. Unlike the first time the tension was relieved and the complexion improved.

I left at dawn and didn’t eat a single meal until the sun went down. Since she wasn’t hungry enough to wait for food Marsha served her ready-to-eat soup and bread.

As soon as the food came out I filled my stomach without hesitation. Lian’s injuries were not in a state to eat but he seemed to have eaten the most among the group.

“Can’t we eat out now?”

The part that impressed Sirone the most in this battle was of course eating out of the rules. It might not be as much as Unlocker but it was clear that it was a rare trait in the wizarding world.

“No it is not. Of course deprivation is impossible but in fact wounds engraved in the heart are not so easily healed. It will be transformed in some way.”

“okay. Mmm.”

When Sirone blurted out his words Marsha who was quick-witted said with a bright smile.

“don’t worry. I won’t make such evil magic anymore. The rules can be changed to some extent.”

Sirone nodded with a surprised expression. This was also practical information that could not be learned at school.

“Then do you have any rules in mind?”

“I don’t have anything yet. Let’s see… Shall we go to a magic school and develop some kind of magic to bewitch a good-looking guy with blonde hair?”

Sirone smiled anxiously. Having experienced the eccentricities of eating out I couldn’t pass it off as a joke.

Receiving Amy’s stinging glare Marsha shook her hand and reassured her.

“Don’t worry fufu. It’s not Sirone.”

“Hoo? is it so? Then who are you?”

“there is. A good-looking guy with blonde hair who goes to magic school.”

Amy stopped talking. It was futile to have a verbal fight with a regular outsider who looked at the world the way he thought.

Freeman put down his spoon and spoke earnestly.

“How about a magic trick to flirt with a man without eyebrows?”

“Pooh!”

Marsha put the soup in her mouth back onto her plate and threw it away. I never expected that I would say such shameless words in a place like this.

“What nonsense are you talking about? How are you really?”

“what’s the matter? Didn’t say a word about me.”

“Is there anyone else in the world without eyebrows besides you and the monkey?”

“A monkey is not a human.”

“no! I mean you’re a monkey! I guess you lost? Like a pathetic coward. How many times have I told you not to ride the reverse technique tree? yes? yes?”

Marcia stabbed Freeman in the temple with a fork.

As Amy watched the scene something suddenly came to mind. Certainly it was strange that Freeman remained unharmed after taking a direct hit from his own flame strike.

‘Reverse technique tree?’

Those who train schema build up by overlapping several schemas. The most basic build was placed on the bottom and the build selected as an option went on top.

Reversing it in an instant was the reverse build.

Schema users call this ‘reversal’ but it could be said that it was a defensive build that was chosen only when life was in danger.

Gunners whose vitality is mobility and accuracy are usually based on sensory or neural strengthening.

Therefore regenerative builds related to defensive abilities or cell activation builds have no choice but to be placed relatively in the options.

Freeman was also a gunner so it wouldn’t be that different.

However if you listen to Marsha he fought with a defensive build from the beginning that is a reversal build.

If so it makes sense that even though his face was burned by the flame strike he was fine.

‘Well… the speed when he saved Marsha at the end was amazing.’

Perhaps that was the movement as an unreversed gunner. As soon as I thought that my anger rose.

Freeman said conscious of Amy’s feelings.

“If it wasn’t for the reversal the opponent would have come up with a different strategy. There is no strong or weak. I just do it according to the situation and courage is part of my ability. Amy was stronger than me. That’s all.”

Marsha put her chin on her chin and burst out laughing. Let’s sell cowardly eyebrows Freeman now knows how to say something quite manly.

After being praised by the enemy Amy felt embarrassed for nothing.

“No what… The man was also amazing.”

“Thank you. but i’m not a man I am the same age as Marsha.”

“So what? Even if you’re the same age over there you’re still a man to me right?”

Freeman hung his head sullenly and went back to breaking the bread. The question of why Sirone called Marsha ‘sister’ surged in his throat but he couldn’t bear to say it because he was timid.

After the flirtatious atmosphere passed Marsha corrected her expression again and said seriously.

“Anyway Sirone if you aim to become a wizard too you better be wary of eating out. Actually it’s funny that I even say that.”

“no. I want to know. Please tell me more.”

“Hmm actually the deprivation I used isn’t very effective magic. Even though stealing the opponent’s magic itself is an overpower it’s just a challenge to the possibilities and it can’t be said to be an effective way to fight.”

Even if Sirone thought it seemed that he would not choose deprivation if he would gain some ability at the cost of risking his life.

It’s because there are too many restrictions on itself to extort the ability of others.

“I am a little unusual. Of course most of the rule eaters are unusual but it wasn’t a magic that was created with combat in mind from the beginning. Other eat-out eaters will use the eat-out diet which is much more effective and more applicable than I am.”

“okay. I have to say it now but it was really creepy when I fought with my sister. I didn’t know there was a way to block the immortal function.”

“Huh sorry about that. But you’re right. Nothing is impossible in the world of magic. There are no absolutes. You were able to defeat me because you saw through my weaknesses right?”

“yes. If the initiation of eating out itself was caused by trauma I thought that if we persistently attacked that trauma variables could arise.”

“That’s right. In other words it’s a logic battle between constraints and costs. When dealing with regular eaters it’s more important to quickly grasp the magic equipment they use than fighting power. Of course if it’s you I think you’ll do well enough.”

“no. I learned a lot this time.”

Sirone replied sincerely. It was a battle that realized that the world is wide and there are many outstanding people.
