Understand humans!

Although these little magicians were respectful to her, Sheila did not dare to abuse her power and give them the rights they deserved.

I am just an ordinary person. What can I do? Don't ask me for justice. I can only take care of myself...

"You have talent~" Just when Silla was annoyed, a voice suddenly came from behind her. Silla turned around and found that Aura had not left at all. She must have been following her and listening to her conversation with the apprentice.

Aura followed the group of energetic young magic apprentices as they walked away, squinting his eyes and exclaiming:

"That human has great talent. Even people of Kribi's age can't reach his level of magical power. He's a genius."

"Indeed, as you said, Andro is our most talented magic apprentice. Although he was born in poverty and was exposed to magic relatively late, his performance is not inferior to other noble students who have been exposed to magic since childhood."

Sheila nodded in response to Aura.

"Then his name must be on the list of people going to Kribi. Talents like him can only have a future in Kribi, and only the library and high-level magicians in Kribi can afford the knowledge he craves."

"...Actually...it's a good idea for apprentices to stay and contribute to their hometown after graduation."

"Then why don't you come back after completing your studies and contribute to your hometown? Isn't that better?"

"........."

Sheila looked at Aura's two clear purple eyes, which were wide open as he raised his head, and she was speechless.

How naive—

This minister, sent directly from Kribi, knows nothing at all.

Sheila turned her head away and did not answer.

Among the magicians who have left, who would come back except for mediocre people like her? Who would be willing to come back?

As for the magician who wants to leave, is there anyone else who can do so except someone like her who clings to the powerful and sells herself to them?

Seeing that Silla deliberately didn't answer and changed the subject, Aura's eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't ask any more questions.

He just looked thoughtfully at the energetic young magic apprentices walking out of the academy exit in the distance.

-

Celiai wanted Aura to come here to carry out system reforms, but Aura didn't understand the system and didn't understand reforms, so she could only use the simplest thinking to understand Celiai's request.

- Pick out the most talented humans, train them to a certain level, and send them to Kribi.

How to use these humans will be left to the first-level magicians at the Magic Association headquarters to figure out.

She, Aula, just sent people over.

Send someone who is worth using.

But now it seems that the education system here is pretty good, isn't it? The human magician named Andro has been selected and will be sent to Kribi.

When she thought of this, Aura couldn't help but grit her teeth. Letting her watch the genius of mankind being sent to Kribi to get a better education was simply a torture to Aura's heart.

What's the difference between this and letting her harm the demons with her own hands?

But this was for the sake of Xuharat's plan, so Aura had to do it. She had to make some contributions to the Magic Association, gain trust, and finally obtain the confidential document.

Aura came to the top floor of the Magic Association branch in San Lorenzo, on the spire of a clock tower, overlooking the entire city of San Lorenzo. Although the buildings here are messy, dirty and old, and people's faces always have a dead look, Aura has not yet discovered that there are the problems that Celia mentioned.

Could it be that Volame's investigation was wrong? The problems with the Magic Association's education system that Celie learned about from Volame didn't exist in the first place?

"Lord Aura, how did you climb so high up? It's dangerous!"

There was a shout from below, and Aura looked carefully and saw it was Xila.

Silla waved her hands, as if she had something to ask her.

Aura reached out and held her hat tightly to prevent it from being blown away by the wind as she descended. She jumped from the clock tower and didn't even use levitation magic to reduce the impact, and just fell freely.

Bang! ! !

Xila covered her chest and looked in horror at Aura who slowly stood up in the smoke and dust, her pupils trembling violently.

"You...why did you just jump down?"

"Aren't all magicians able to ignore terrain?"

"But you didn't use magic just now!"

“Yes.”

"Uh, there is no magic fluctuation."

"You were too weak to see it."

"..."

Judging from your tone, do you think you are very strong?

Sheila was a little indignant. This purple-haired girl was obviously young, but she spoke so arrogantly. Even if she was a genius from Kribi, at Aura's age, she had just finished learning the basics of magic, and was at the stage where she only had theory but no practical experience - how could she compare with her, a magician who had obtained the third-level certificate?

However, no matter how rude Aura was, Sheila had to endure it, after all, he was her boss.

Sheila was also used to being patient.

She told Aura about Lord Conrad's invitation. Lord Conrad was a big shot in San Lorenzo. Upon hearing that the director of the Magic Association branch would take office today, he specially prepared a banquet and invited Aura to attend.

"Invite me to a banquet?"

"Yes."

Aura tilted her head, somewhat puzzled by the human's thoughts.

"I don't know him at all, so why is Rad so kind?"

"It's Count Conrad. The Count has always been courteous to talented people. I heard that Minister Aura is from Kribi, well-informed, and a knowledgeable magician, so he treats you specially... When the previous minister took office, he didn't receive this treatment. The Count treats you so courteously because he respects you as a great talent of mankind and the pillar of the Magic Association."

"The pillar of mankind...that has nothing to do with me..." For some reason, after Sheila's flattery, Aura became less interested.

Chapter 106 I'm Not Young Anymore

But before Silla could say anything else, Aura seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned back and asked:

"Wait, the banquet is free?"

"free!"

"go with!"

Aura took the lead and walked towards the carriage waiting at the main entrance of the Magic Association branch.

Only Sheila was left standing there with his hand outstretched, staring blankly, Sheila's mind was still on how to persuade Aura to go to the banquet for the sake of Count Conrad's face. Unexpectedly, free wine and meat alone could attract Aura.

When she put her hands down, Silla's eyes became even darker.

The respect that people had for Aula at the beginning, because he was from Kribi and had a mysterious identity, turned into disgust at this moment.

She thought that the person who came from Kribi this time was some great figure, and she even held out hope that the new minister could change this stagnant San Lorenzo... How ridiculous...

Sheila looked at Aura, who was waving at her from the carriage in the distance and inviting her to get on quickly, with a look of disdain on her face.

Even if she is from Kribi, this purple-haired girl should be a magician from the countryside. She was excited to hear that there was free food and drinks at the banquet, but she looks so unworldly. She will probably be easily controlled by those nobles.

But it was okay this way. Silla's heart was filled with hope or worry, rising and falling. It was okay for Silla to keep everything old, because she was used to it anyway.

This time the minister is so weak and easy to bully. At least he will not be like the previous minister who was determined to make changes in San Lorenzo and caused trouble, but gave up and ran away halfway. Many things that were obviously starting to change ended up in vain.

——The gap between hope and despair is even more painful for those who experience it.

-

In Count Conrad's mansion, lights were on all the time, and servants were walking around carrying delicious food.

In the main living room, there was a music and dance performance, and young nobles in suits and long skirts danced together. On a staircase, in a semi-open room overlooking the entire hall, there was a long table, and people could help themselves to fine wine, meat, and fresh fruits.

Count Conrad sat in the main seat, next to him was a fat magician sitting in a wheelchair. Sheila introduced him to Aura, saying that this was Barrit, the deputy minister of the San Lorenzo branch of the Magic Association. During the vacancy when the minister was replaced, Barrit had been in charge of the Magic Association.

But now that Aura is here, all his power should be transferred to Aura.

Barritt raised his glass, poured a glass of wine into his own empty glass, and raised it towards Aura, wanting to say something polite to bring them closer. However, as soon as he raised the glass and approached Aura, Aura snatched it away and drank it all in one gulp.

Puff--puff puff--

Aula took a sip of wine and a bite of meat. She opened her mouth wide, revealing her sharp white teeth, and ate and drank voraciously at the banquet. She ate a five-person portion of roast chicken with both bones and meat in two or three bites, licked the plate clean, and ate one potato at a time. Sometimes she choked and picked up the bottle to drink wine, regardless of whether it was opened or not. She would bite the mouth of an unopened glass bottle and swallow it down with a gurgling sound.

It doesn't feel like drinking alcohol, it feels more like drinking water.

However, although her eating manner was a bit wild, the food in front of her did not look messy. The plates and wine bottles were in order, and there was no bone or sauce at all.

"Ha ha--"

Count Conrad sat in the main seat, watching Aura eat a chicken in one bite, a lamb in two bites, and wait eagerly for the servant to bring the next dish after he finished eating. As the host, he could only cut the broccoli on the plate to pass the time, and couldn't help but laugh dryly:

"Minister Aura is so young and growing, so it's normal for him to have a big appetite. He is indeed a young talent from Kribi, full of vigor and vitality - young and promising - really young and promising -"

Barritt's gaze shifted from Aura to Count Conrad, and then back again. He really couldn't figure out how Count Conrad could tell the words "young and promising" from this gluttonous girl who looked like the reincarnation of a giant monster.

"Burp - excuse me -" Aura was halfway through his meal when he felt a little full and finally put down the knife and fork in his hand - in fact, they were just for show, Aura could finish everything with his teeth.

Aura covered her lips lightly and smiled apologetically. Facing Conrad's compliments, she waved her hands repeatedly and said:

"I can't compare to the Earl. I'm not young anymore."

"Not young? May I ask Minister Aura's age?"

"Five hundred years old."

"Lord Aura is so humorous, hahaha~~~"

Conrad laughed, and the little nobles around him laughed too.

It's no wonder. A girl who looks younger than her daughter pretends to be mature and says that she is old. There is indeed some humor in it.

Aura just tilted her head slightly, but she was telling the truth. Conrad's age might not even be a fraction of hers.

Doesn't she look like an older demon?

Is there no one here who can feel the magic power they are releasing? It is clear that Aura did not deliberately hide it.

If it were a magician who often deals with demons on the border, he would probably collapse to the ground in fear at the first sight of Aura.

"This is the first time I've seen a magician from Kribi. I heard that Kribi is revered as the capital of magic, and there are second-level magicians everywhere. First-level magicians can be seen everywhere, and even the honor of a great magician is something that ordinary people can admire..."

"This is similar to the rumors. The Great Magician is seen every day. Occasionally, he will invite people to a dessert shop to eat free cakes--"

"Lord Aura is so humorous haha~~"

This time it was Barrett who laughed. When his legs were still intact, he had been to Kribi. Not to mention the first-level magicians who only appeared on important occasions... the great magician? He was a mysterious figure. To be invited by such a great being, do you think you are the president of the Magic Association? How can you have such a great honor?

This little magician from Kribi is really funny~

After Barritt finished laughing, it was Conrad's turn to continue asking. Count Conrad took a few sips of red wine and pretended to ask casually -

"I heard that magicians who pass the test in Kribi are generally one level stronger than those who pass the test in other cities. I wonder... what level you are in the magic test in Kribi, Aura-sama?"

"do not know."

"Master Aura, didn't you pass the magic test? Even the basic third-level magician test... Oh, Master, please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to offend you. I'm just surprised."

"It's not that I didn't pass, it's that I never participated."

Aura thought about it. She always sat at the top seat in the examination room. She had never taken a magic proficiency test as a candidate.

As for where her magic level ranks among humans?

I don’t know, and Aura doesn’t need to know.

Chapter 107 It’s settled!

She always used her fingers to count the number of humans who could defeat her. This method of measurement was more accurate... As for defining it by the magic level of humans - she, Aura, never cared about the magic level of those who could defeat her, and she estimated that those who could defeat her didn't care about this either.

Perhaps those humans were just like her and had never participated in any magic proficiency assessment.

"I haven't looked it up before..." Conrad narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and finally pointed at Barritt and asked Aura,

"Then Lord Aura, how do you think Mr. Barrit compares to you in strength? Are they on par? Or is he slightly better?"

"You are such a humorous person, hahaha~~" Aura glanced at the fat Barrit and couldn't help laughing.

Before this crippled human became disabled, she could barely reach the level of a second-level magician, but she has been disabled for who knows how many years. Her body is bloated, her magic power is scattered, and she is in a wheelchair. Forget about comparing her, one of the top seven sages of the demon race, with this insect-like human.
