Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1490: Magic Exchange (6)
When the Azure Sage said this, the Verdant Sage seemed to come back to her senses as well as she said, "Right, it's to the point where it even feels like it's coming from that person."
The Azure Sage knitted his brows slightly when he heard this.
The reaction of the two made it seem like the two of them were talking about something quite important.
Whoever this person that they were referring to had to be someone that both of them were wary of and respected.
It wasn't exactly a good thing to be compared to this kind of person.
After all, it meant that they would be seeing something in me that wasn't there.
It would be them comparing me to someone that I had never met before, but was a person that they feared and respected.
That would mean…
"You have a natural talent for magic."
That was the next thing that the two of them said.
As they said this, the way that they looked at me changed.
This time, they looked at me as if I was a piece of meat that they wanted to bite into.
Though I knew that they were looking at me like this because they valued the 'talent' that they saw in me.
Seeing the way that I looked back at them, it seemed that they had misunderstood something.
"You shouldn't be afraid of this talent. This is talent that only appears once in a thousand years. No, once in a million years. Pure and dense mana like yours is something that only those that are attuned to mana at the level of demigods can achieve." The Azure Sage said in a passionate voice.
The Verdant Sage nodded in agreement before saying, "It's a shame that your talent was never noticed until now and was buried as a result. If you had started learning magic since you were a child…"
Both the Azure Sage and the Verdant Sage gave disappointed sighs after this was said.
But I looked at them with a strange look.
The way that they were saying this, it really seemed like they were planning to…
The problem was that I was still the king of my own country, so it wasn't as if I could just abandon my country just to come to the Sorcery Empire to learn magic.
So I had to at least say, "I'm flattered, but since it's already too late, I think that it's fine if we forget about this."
While I was a bit tempted by what they were implying, it wasn't as if I could just drop everything to come and learn magic in the Sorcery Empire. At the same time, even though they seemed like they were willing to let me learn here, there was no telling what they were actually capable of.
The way that they looked at me and approached me earlier after seeing what I did with the two stones, it was quite clear that they had other intentions as well.
The Sorcery Empire had been hostile towards our Kite Kingdom in the past, this wasn't something that I had forgotten.
Even though their attitude towards the Kite Kingdom was better now, that didn't mean that everything was fine.
There's no telling what kind of things they would do if they had the chance.
The Azure Sage and the Verdant Sage both seemed disappointed when they heard this, but it didn't seem like they were planning on making a fuss.
Though the main reason for that was because Aisha was still there by my side and she had raised her fist as if she was threatening them.
It really seemed like she didn't care about the fact that she was the Elven Queen now and the way that she treated the sages that represented the Sorcery Empire, it certainly wasn't something that a ruler of a country should be doing.
Only it didn't seem like Aisha cared.
That was just the kind of carefree personality that she had.
After a long silence, the Azure Sage said, "Your majesty, while it is a shame, that doesn't mean that your time in our Sorcery Empire has to be wasted."
He turned to look at the sea witches before saying, "We've prepared some time for these guests from the other races to attend our magic academy. Your majesty should attend the magic academy with them."
I was completely caught off guard by this proposal of his.
After all, I knew something that the sea witches didn't know as a member of the human race.
The magic academy of the Sorcery Empire.
Though he didn't say the name of it, I could already guess which one he meant.
That was because there was only one place that was considered a magic academy.
All of the other places that taught magic weren't qualified to be called a magic academy since they weren't at the same level.
The official name was the Volto Academy of Sorcery, but everyone just referred to it as the magic academy since it was what they had always called it.
A place like this was naturally the place that trained all of the best magicians in the Sorcery Empire.
That would mean that it was the place with the best resources as well.
This was the kind of place that would also have the highest requirements for those that wanted to enroll.
As such, it wasn't a place that outsiders could enter that easily.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was one of the sages who was saying this, then there was no way that I would have believed this.
But since it was a sage…
After staring at the Azure Sage for a bit, I slowly said, "Alright, let's see how it goes."
The Azure Sage didn't push the matter, but I could tell from the look on his face that he didn't want to let things end like this.
It seemed like there was something else that he wanted from me.
