Becoming a magician in another world

"Sam, fighting a duel with a court magician means risking your life. And the opponent is Albert, so he will not forgive you even if you admit defeat."

"It's not a threat, but in a duel approved by the palace, no one would complain even if I killed him. He will definitely be killed."

“On the other hand, even if I killed Albert, I can’t blame anyone, right?”

"Of course it is, but...so why are you so concerned about that? You don't know how strong that guy is! That bastard is the strongest in the kingdom!"

Fran and Delet both genuinely care about me, whom I just met.

(They are good people, for these people, I must win)

"But even Lord Delight is the strongest in the kingdom."

"Asshole! Indeed, although I was once the strongest, I lost to that guy at that time! In front of His Majesty and my colleagues, I was hurt and dumped!"

"......Father"

Delai bit his lip tightly, a bitter look on his face.

"I can't forget the humiliation I felt back then. It haunts me in my dreams now. So, unconsciously, I get confused after drinking."

"...Mr. Delight"

Sam, who knew the reason why he drank, could not forgive Albert even more.

"Look. My arms shake whenever I think about what happened a few years ago. It's really shameful. I'm scared of that guy now, too."

"But, Lord Delight is not just afraid, right?"

"What are you doing?"

"Looking at the magic books scattered around the room, I know you're still learning magic. Maybe you're planning to beat Albert again one day?"

"——Damn it, look carefully."

"Father, then, it is as expected."

"I am indeed afraid of Albert. However, as the self-proclaimed strongest magician, I want to regain that title. However, no matter how much magic I relearn, I can't imagine defeating that guy."

Delight clenched his fists and shook.

Because he was the former court magician and had once been the strongest magician, the difference in strength between him and Albert seemed obvious.

I think it's too painful to want to win but know that you can't win.

He didn't think much about it.

"I fought him and was not killed. Alas, if that guy didn't have power and backing, he wouldn't have been so reckless, but not now."

"If we duel, will you kill me?"

The Sinatras agreed.

"Rather, Albert is hostile to Ull, so he will happily come and kill your disciple."

"I have no intention of losing at all."

"I've never fought that guy to be able to say something like that."

"So, who is stronger, Ur or Albert?"

DeLait answered Sam's question without hesitation.

"I'm not biased towards my disciples, but Ur is stronger. That's for sure. I wanted to give Ur the strongest position. But he wasn't interested in that kind of thing, and I thought so too... He got sick. He died before his master. What a woman."

There was something faintly glowing in the corner of Delight's eye, but Sam decided not to see it.

But I also heard good news.

Delet, who fought Albert, said that Ur was stronger.

So, the strength that Sam felt about Albert was the same as he imagined.

With that kind of personality, it seems that there is no hidden ball, and even if there is, don't let it come out.

"It got wet. Sorry."

"No. I am the one who is being rude."

"I don't care. So, if Ur is stronger, what would he say?"

"I'm not bragging, but I've fought beside Ur and seen her at her full strength. I've fought with her in life-threatening battles. I've never met a magician stronger than Ur."

"In other words, what is it?"

"Although I am sick, I have been recognized by Ur. So, no matter how strong Albert claims to be, I am not afraid. I will definitely win."

“Haha, that’s pretty courageous. But maybe this is okay.”

Facing the fearless Sam, Drey gave a wry smile.

"If I get scared from the beginning like I did, even those who can win won't win. It's good that you only think about winning like me."

"Thank you."

"No compliments. Well, hey, Sam. Let's go back today."

“Oh, but”

"If it's a recommendation from the court magician, I'll consider it. However, before that, what will happen to the duel with Albert? If I get killed in the duel, the recommendation will be meaningless. But if you can win, you don't need my recommendation in the first place."

After listening to DeLait's words, Sam agreed.

Although the premise is a duel, there is no doubt that the outcome will determine Sam's future.

"please wait for a moment!"

Fran shouted as he was almost done talking.
