It was then that Julia realized her mistake.
She was sure that in the sparring, Endymion's sword was suppressed so that it couldn't move anymore, but she was so happy that she thought she had won everything, so she touched the neck with her other hand and let her guard down.
It caused her to lose her posture, and Endymion drained her power like a ghost in those few seconds, pushing her magic sword away.
"Oh, you won them all..."
After dozens of sparring matches, it was finally a chance to win for the first time. Julia, who had wasted it off, muttered in despair.
Endymion slid his sword in smoothly, smirking and lifting it up from her cheeks.
"Do you want to do it again?"
"Really? Can I do that?"
She said that her arm would get tired if she used too much magic in a day, so he limited sparring to three times a day.
Julia stayed in the magic tower for two weeks, and she learned almost all of the magic control, and now she was doing magic sparring and swordsmanship sparring.
Yesterday, Julia sparred with Boris under the observation of Pal, and today It was a swordsmanship sparring with Endymion. However, the two of them were away for a while, and she had just finished her third sparring with Endymion.
"Then let's do it one more time before we get Pal back! This time, ok going to win."
Julia, who had been swaying from successive defeats, was motivated. Endymion met her gaze and whispered sweetly.
"If you let me kiss you."
"What?"
Both faces were held by large hands, so Julia couldn't even avert her gaze. Julia was dumbfounded as if asking where such a thing was.
"Why is the sparring condition a kiss?"
"When I faced your magic sword, my hands hurt from holding the sword. I think I can survive if I do that."
He said he wanted to kiss her for nothing, and he was shameless In lying with a smirk.
Julia smiled and raised her head slightly.
"If I win."
Endymion tilted his head, still smiling. Julia continued, trying to make up her mind not to fall for that alluring smile.
"If I win this time, I'll kiss you then."
"Twice."
Hah, I think he got into the wrong habit.
Endymion was squeezing as if he was thirsty for skinship, and Julia glanced at him as if she couldn't stop him.
"It's because I can't go into the room. Isn't it too harsh to only be able to do it once a night?"
Endymion complained with a serious face.
Before she knew it, the ban on skinship had long since faded. Still, for fear of getting in trouble if her affection was discovered in the tower, Julia didn't even kiss lightly during the day.
The only time they were together was when Endymion sneaked into the balcony at night.
"Hmm... You like. I don't want to look at you instead."
"Then I want to hear what my Queen has to say."
Endymion grinned with a nonchalant face. Finally, Julia held back her laughter and nodded.
"Then let's rest for 5 minutes and then do it again."
"Yes."
Julia used her magic to make the golden sword disappear. Then, with Endymion, she walked towards the table and chairs.
Jiing!
"Hmm?"
Then the air vibrated. At the same time, Julia and Endymion, sensing their sensitivity, stopped walking.
'Just something...'
Paaaaa
A red flash filled the view. Endymion immediately wrapped Julia around her, causing her to step back.
'...What is it?'
She felt an overwhelmingly strong energy. Instinctively, when her body tensed, an unfamiliar voice came in.
"It's you."
With a fierce thud, someone appeared. He was a man with red hair and a beak...
"Who are you?"
Endymion responded with a cold voice. The man raised his eyes and raised a hand.
"It's a sin of not understanding the subject!"
Swish!
An eerie blade flew out of nowhere with a cracking sound. He aimed for his neck accurately and rushed threateningly.
Boom!
However, it bounced off hard right away. In the blink of an eye, he was hit by Endymion's sword.
"Hah, was it a demon prosecutor?"
The man gritted his teeth. Endymion aimed his sword leisurely with one hand.
"You don't understand the topic because you broke in rudely. Don't you know what to do?"
Endymion snapped his chin as if to apologize. His voice was as cold as his eyes were cold.
"Hey, arrogant bastard!"
The red-haired man opened his eyes as if his pride was hurt. His skin tingled from the threatening energy.
Julia, who was half a step behind, furrowed her brows in wonder.
'Who is it? Seeing that Mion is a demon prosecutor, I don't think he knows anything.'
She wondered why the first-time mage was suddenly attacking.
"How dare you believe only in the favor of the lord of the tower and destroy the order?! Apparently, it's an insignificant level where you can hardly feel the magic power, but it's so pitiful that it makes me laugh!"
The man shouted as if chewing.
'I don't know what you're talking about...'
Julia was convinced. It was clear that the man didn't know her identity and Endymion.
"Anyway, it's not good to make a fuss, so I'll calm you down first."
Julia was in a hurry to open her mouth.
"You must have been the one who broke the order. Acknowledge and apologize."
Endymion's command made the man contort his face.
"You insignificant bastard. Do you dare to play with a maid?"
Julia's words reminded her of something.
'If you are a handmaiden... Are you talking about Helen?'
Last night, Helen told Julia that she had used magic for the first time. It was a small help, but Helen was very proud that her colleagues liked it!
"Wait. There must be some misunderstanding."
Julia hurried to Endymion's side. Then the man smirked and pointed his finger.
"Oh... Did you lure another handmaiden? You said you're a wizard this time and that you're going to make her a wizard?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not a maid. I'm a sister."
Julia looked around as if she had known beforehand. In the meantime, she could feel Endymion giving her a strange look.
Unexpectedly, Endymion didn't like being called her brother.
Once, when they were going back to the Tower together, they ran into Helen who had picked her up, and Julia jokingly called him brother, and he was nervous. It seems like they are drawing a line between brother and sister.
"Ha, that's a lot of things. Pull the middle of the horse tower into the tower?! I can't wait any longer!"
The man shouted fiercely, attracting magic. In an instant, five redder orbs floated in the air.
Woo!
“Die!”
With a man's shout, a sphere was shot. The moment Julia took a quick breath and gathered magical power.
Kaaaang! Crackle! Crackle!
Endymion's silver blade slashed through the air. So strong and fast that you can't even see the trajectory. Then, the spheres that were hit with a loud bang all shattered.
“Mion!”
Julia looked at Endymion in surprise.
"It's okay."
Fortunately, the silver sword was blackened and unusable, but he was fine. It seemed that it was possible because Pal had applied defensive magic to him, and he had been practicing magic sparring consistently.
"The tower owner even used his sword and defensive magic...!"
The red-haired man's eyes were full of veins.
"How do you know at once that Pal has cast a spell?
He was clearly a formidable wizard. Moreover, it was dangerous to become more and more fierce.
Julia lowered her voice as she grabbed Endymion in her way.
"Stay away."
"Mion, I need to call for Pal. I think things will get bigger..."
"I dare to covet myself."
A grim voice was smoldering. Julia and Endymion turned their heads at the same time, and the man summoned a sphere that was incomparable to the previous one. It was dark red blood that burned like the sun.
"I'll finish it with one blow!"
Oh!
The man opened his eyes and threw down a ball of magic. The intense heat that burned the air came over them.
'No!'
Julia instinctively burst her magic. The formula, which was possible only when she was tense and carefully concentrated, was established at once, and the magic was realized.
Kaaaaaang!
A golden curtain appeared from the air and enveloped Julia and Endymion. Almost simultaneously, the blood energy rubbed against them as it tried to devour them. It crackled, and a rift appeared between the two forces.
"What is this!"
The astonished man shouted. As the two strong forces clashed, the smoke turned all around.
Gold and blood were pushed and pushed almost equally, and it didn't take long for gold to gradually gain the upper hand.
Oh my gosh!
With a grotesque sound, the blood-red sphere began to split. Then steam formed, and the blood was pushed back into gold.
"... Are you?"
Endymion looked at her in disbelief.
Julia nodded, and then she felt the strength in her whole body drain her. A flash of light formed from her hand, and the golden magic became more intense.
Shoot!
Pot!
Eventually, the blood-red sphere shattered, leaving only steam behind. The air around them exploded, and the three people at the scene staggered with the recoil.
"...Julia!"
Julia leaned on Endymion's arm to support her, she used too much magic in a hurry, and her eyes went white for a moment.
"It's okay. I was dizzy for a moment... Are you okay?"
She blinked to her senses and looked at Endymion. Then she frowned...
"You've got a cut on your cheek."
"Oh."
She felt a tingling sensation before the magic power broke. Julia muttered and wiped her cheeks.
"Don't worry, I think it's just scratched, more..."
Julia hurriedly glanced over Endymion's shoulder.
"Ugh."
The red-haired man was coughing and staggering. Apparently, he had been hit by the deflection of Julia's magical power.
"Crazy. How did this happen...!"
The man squeezed his chest hard and screamed. He looked like a pretty strong wizard, but Julia could see his limbs trembling from his internal injuries.
Endymion, his lower law burning, strode toward him. He pulled out another knife he was wearing around his waist.
"If we had a preemptive strike, we would have been prepared."
"Not likely!"
The man screamed. At the same time, a blood-red whip appeared.
But Endymion was faster, and his sharp sword was aimed accurately. The man's eyes widened in surprise.
"Since she has a wound on her cheek, you deserve to have your neck cut."
The blade dug into his skin. Then, a thin stream of blood flowed down the man's slender neck.
The wide-eyed man pointed somewhere with trembling fingers.
"Hey, do you think that's going to come out after seeing that?"
"Funny..."
Oh.
Endymion, who had been snorting, immediately turned his attention to the clear voice. Then he saw Julia strapped to the dark red magic whip.
The man cunningly divided his magic and attacked both at the same time. And just after using strong magic, Julia, who was momentarily weakened, was caught.
"Haha. If you want to save your little sister, get down on your knees and beg right now!"
The man laughed. Veins welled up on Endymion's forehead. But when he saw Julia tied up and dragged over here, the tightened blade began to slip.
