The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 50: The Interview

Excuse me please come in.

They went through the school building and they came to a classroom.

Seyfi, who had been leading the way, opened the door and motioned Kunon inside.

.

Kunon did not move.

No, he couldnt move.

Ms. Seyfi.

Yes?

Where am I going now? Whats beyond the door?

You really cant see, can you?

No, I cant.

This time, I really cant see.

All I know is that there is nothing there.

Even with my mirror eye, its dark beyond the door.

Above all there is a wind.

Is it outdoors?

Youll have to ask me that inside. In a word, its night ahead.

Night?

Yes. The starry sky at midnight. You could say its indoors, you could say its outdoors, but I dont really know.

Is there a ground?

Yes, there is.

Are you creating a pseudo-night space, or have you cut out a night somewhere and locked it in? I cant say its interesting or anything.

Its been a long time since Ive been completely blind.

I cant perceive colors through magic, and I cant see anything even with my mirror eyes.

But Kunon doesnt hesitate to step into the room with his stick.

He had long since outgrown been a child afraid of the dark.

The floor seems to be dirt.

I hear the sound of a door closing behind me.

The air is flowing.

I feel a breeze.

There is a faint smell of earth and grass.

Kunon cant see it, but hes sure the sky above us is full of stars.

There is no moon.

I cant see anything that looks like the moon.

- Youre the one with the issue?

Suddenly, the presence of someone appeared in front of me. It was the voice of a shrill old woman.

No, it wasnt just in front of me.

Its also behind me, to my left and right.

There are five, no, about six people in the air.

This is an intuition that has developed because of Kunons invisibility.

There is no magic involved.

As usual, I couldnt see anything even with my mirror eyes, but Im sure they were the great teachers of the magic school.

My name is Kunon Gurion. Id like to enroll.

I called out to the woman who was probably in front of me.

Im listening. Youre the apprentice of Zeonly, right?

The sounds of footsteps faintly scraping the ground were approaching Kunon.

He was a genius. Im sure youll agree with me. What about you, then?

Oh, hey. Please dont get too close.

What?

I have a fiance. Its not a good idea to get too close to women.

Invisibility has always been a part of his life, but here he is blind in a magical sense as well.

Now that he is completely blind, Kunon cant grasp the distance between him and others, so he has to be careful with them.

So Ill make sure I say it right.

Dont make a mistake.

Huh.

Ha.

Some of the people around me let out a small gush.

Haha.

The woman in front of me is also sighing in disbelief.

I heard you were heavily hitting on one of the candidates. How can such a naive kid be concerned about the distance between him and a woman?

I dont remember hitting on her, Madam. I just wanted to ask her about magic. We were alone.

If youre not picking up women, why do you want to be alone with them?

Im not going to go into the details of that case.

Im an old woman, much older than you. Do you have a problem with an old woman approaching you?

Kunon answered clearly, Yes.

I dont see why there shouldnt be a problem.

Youre not a granny, but an older lady who knows both the sweet and sour. Im sure youre even better than my master. Im already curious about you.

What will you do if you make a mistake? You never know what can happen to a man and a woman.

Oh, I see. Thats a problem child, indeed.

The woman moved away a little with a sigh.

So, Kunon Gurion. Ill ask you.

Yes.

Have you learned anything today?

Of course.

What is it?

There are a lot of things, but the one I thought was the most interesting was the fire running that the candidate showed at the practical test.

Ive learned how to make magic power directional, but this is the first time Ive seen it drawn over such a long distance. Thats interesting.

If youve never seen anything like it. How would you use it?

Im thinking that if I apply it, I can create a magic that uses magic power as a conductor and connects it to a circle, and keeps going around the same place until the magic power runs out.

Also, depending on how you use it, you might be able to make it look as if one person is using the magic of several people.

Its an idea that Im already itching to try.

When I get home after the test, Im going to try it out in the yard.

First, I want to make a super soft water ball that goes around and around.

Then, I would like to spend a luxurious time buried in it, indulging in various thoughts and dozing off when I get sleepy.

Of course, Id like to have some milk tea in between.

I want to spend my time in self-degradation until I get angry with Linco.

Hmmm.. So what was it you wanted to know about the saints magic that you picked up? What did you want to know?

Im not trying to hit on her, but Im still curious about the speed of the rays. With that kind of speed, Im sure it can cut and pierce anything, even water. Id love to have it for myself.

I could go on and on, but Kunon dared to cut me off there.

Im in the middle of a job interview.

After the interview, I can try out various things on my own. Above all, I want to write down all the ideas I have so I dont forget them.

To be honest, I feel like leaving right now.

Okay, thats enough. Thats it for the interview.

I dont know what I learned from this conversation during the interview, but Kunons patience was gone when he heard those words.

Am I finished? Can I go home?

Ever since the practical, he had been dying to try out some new magic or theory.

If this was the end of the interview, then this should be the end of the entrance exam.

Oh, go home. Ill put you in the special class as you wish. And youll get the credit you deserve. And then

Yes! Excuse me!

The declaration of the end and the assurance that they would put me in the special class as he wished.

After hearing these two things, there was no reason for Kunon to be here anymore.

I turned myself around and touched the door that I had walked ten paces through and opened it.

I was back in a familiar space, separated by a single door from a space I didnt understand.

And Kunon was on his way home without looking back at all.

He had no idea who he was talking to in the interview.

Its somewhat painful.

Before I could stop him, Kunon walked out of the room.

Gain your achievements.

Then I will give you the teachings of the witch, Gray Lewa,.

Ive seen all kinds of sorcerers for an unbelievably long time, but this was the first time I hadnt been able to say it all the way through.

It is a word that I will always say to all my apprentices, but it is not a light word when it is not a lie.

Once, even the arrogant but still naive boy, Zeonly, had his eyes light up at the words of the worlds most famous witch.

Oh well. So thats it, boy.

The witch told her apprentices lurking in the darkness under the starry sky.

Take good care of this years apprentices.
