(504) The Event of Five Years Ago
update icon Updated at 2026/5/4 5:00:02

504,

The conversation with the leader was forcibly interrupted just like that.

After that, it was Alexander's explanation.

The great mage Marcina first appeared five years ago.

The location was the east gate of Kakarl.

According to the descriptions of the guards at the time, Marcina was still wearing ordinary rural clothes.

A little girl who had run away from home was queuing up, intending to enter Kakarl.

Just as she was about to enter the city gate, an incident occurred, giving birth to the most terrifying monster in the world.

"Turns out, a rich man showed up, and he... tried to cut in line."

"... Oh."

Cyclone felt speechless about the origins of this event.

"After that Marcina person, did she not act out a scene of righting wrongs and acting chivalrously, tricking that wealthy man?"

"In terms of the outcome... yes."

"What do you mean by outcome~ isn't that just doing a good deed?"

"Sigh... If it really ends like that, then it's a good deed, if that's the case..."

As he spoke, Alexander sighed and shook his head.

From a gut feeling perspective, Cyclone could already understand.

The beginning of everything is actually not a big deal, just starting from a minor, insignificant incident.

But just because it's a small matter, when it uncontrollably grows bigger, in the end, you may only be able to face it helplessly.

"At that time, Marcina also used the same magic she used to leave just now to send that rich man to the heavens."

Alexander, who was recounting all this, would occasionally show a sense of helplessness.

"After punishing that rich man, the children watching nearby actually got excited and cheered, saying 'Amazing!' and 'Do it again!'..."

"..."

At this point, Cyclone couldn't help but smile.

And Alexander also understood that his smile was met with another sigh.

"So Marcina went on one after another to send others to the heavens?"

To Cyclone's question, Alexander nodded gently.

"As a result, because of her actions, eleven innocent passersby were sent to the heavens. It took over three hours to safely bring them back to the ground."

Clapping hands, apart from clapping, Cyclone didn't know how else to react.

"You mentioned, Marcina's sister was only thirteen at the time, right? If she was given proper education..."

Standing at the back of the group, Eileen timidly raised her question.

"Yes, one of the mages who participated in the rescue at the time intended to properly educate Marcina."

Cyclone had little knowledge of this kind of magic.

"But when they really approached to educate her, Marcina actually said..."

"【People are free~ so is magic, our magic will not be bound by rules~】"

Alexander repeated what Marcina had said at the time, and of course, Cyclone imagined it in his mind.

"This..."

"Quite rebellious..."

"..."

Eileen, Little Dragon, and Yuna all expressed their speechlessness.

Only Cyclone tilted his head to the side.

"Isn't this reasonable?" Cyclone's remark caused the leader to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~ Interesting~ Very interesting~"

Ignoring the leader's laughter, Alexander stood in front of Cyclone.

"Cyclone, the hero without magic, shouldn't you understand better?"

Cyclone looked puzzled.

Not knowing magic actually helps one understand magic better. Faced with Alexander's conclusion, a question mark appeared above Cyclone's head.

"Alexander, look~ This is Allen's hero~"

With an amused expression, the leader pointed at Alexander.

"Carry on~ carry on~ I am starting to understand why Marcina intervened to save you."

Upon hearing the leader's words, Cyclone began to sweat profusely.
