that mean there is something in Jamie that he likes?

‘But… thinking about that bold face…’

She thought of how he came here proudly and offered his soul.

“Anyway, did you bring it?”

“… before that, this.”

Siegfried pulled out a blank check in an annoyed tone.
It was the slip which Kiriel gave him to use in the auction.

“Why didn’t you use it?”

“We got it for free.”

Because of what happened yesterday, he didn’t have to buy it, but Kiriel didn’t know it.

He looked at the blank slip and then the Shadow Sheep’s heart.

“We bought this without spending any money, and you want us to just hand this over to you?”

Siegfried said.

Kiriel had no shortage of money, she didn’t mind spending 200 million gold for this.
And it wasn't that Siegfried couldn't do anything if he wanted to rip her off.

But he decided not to.
It wasn’t the money he wanted and Siegfried was a good person.

“Wait.”

Kiriel went for a moment.
The two of them sighed when Jamie said,

“That old woman has a point.”

“Right?”

“But that doesn’t mean what you did with your soul was right.”

“… I know.”

“Actually, it doesn’t make any sense to give any instructions to a 6th class.”

Aside from being young, Kiriel was right about other things.


A 6th class magician was high enough to take over the command of the magic corps.

He thought Jamie was young, but it was right to treat him like a full-fledged wizard.

And Siegfried admitted his wrongdoing.

“Still, try not to make soul contracts as much as possible.
If the contract had gone wrong, it would have been a disaster.”

“I’ll be careful.”

Jamie nodded and Sigfried’s expression softened.

‘Luckily, Kiriel shut him up.’

Jamie sighed at the thought of being unable to hear the nagging any longer.
And Kiriel appeared with a jewelry box.

He could feel the mysterious magic flowing through it.

“That is?”

“Finally here.”

Siegfried was excited.

“Take this.”

As Kiriel handed it over, Siegfried took it very carefully.
And slowly opened the box which had a black brilliance come out.

‘Black mana?!’

No.

The same color but different properties.

Siegfried took out what was in the stone.
To be precise, a rough stone wrapped in a shiny black crystal.

Similar to All Might, but not shiny enough.

A gemstone.
It wasn’t known what it was, but the energy from the black crystal was far from ordinary.

“What is this?”

“Young lord must have heard of this too.”

Siegfried’s voice was trembling.

“Do you know of the asteroid which crosses the continent every 100 years?”

“Aion.
Are you talking about Aion?”

“Right.
Aion.”

The asteroid which crosses the continent from southwest to northeast every 100 years.

Its existence was discovered 200 years ago and all kinds of papers and analysis were published on it.

It was because many records of asteroid observations on similar dates have been found thousands of years ago.

But at first, it was just plain interest in it.
It was a strange story for the people.

The problem came after that.

160 years ago, a meteorite that parted from the asteroid fell down and was discovered by someone.
This one was known to have special powers.


“Eternal Mana.”

The meteorite was known to have a portion of black crystal, about two thousand times more mana than the natural mana around.

Accordingly, people called the mana in the black crystal ‘Eternal Mana’ and the asteroid which crossed the continent in a 100 year cycle was called Aion (eternity).

“Three years ago, Aion appeared.
And disappeared in an instant, people expected the meteorite to fall, and they went looking everywhere.”

Siegfried lifted the ‘Fragment of Aion’ up and put it to light.
The black crystal was pitch black and even light didn’t go through it.

“I was running behind this for 3 years, but couldn’t find it.
And then Miss Kiriel called me.”

“Thank me more.”

“… I paid the price.”

“Do you really think that the Shadow Sheep’s heart can be compared to a Fragment of Aion?”

“…”

Siegfried was silent.
Because she was right.

“Where are you going to use it?”

“There is something I want to do.”

“What is that?”

“Secret!”

Siegfried put his finger on his lip.
Jamie only thought about wanting to take a peek at it later.

‘Because this one won’t do anything ordinary with that.’

“You, move out.”

As Jamie thought, Kiriel pushed Siegfried.

“It is time for me and my little guest.”

“… I asked for the details of the contract, but he won’t tell me.”

“Obviously, you idiot.
Now get out.”

Siegfried clicked his tongue and walked out, and sent a telepathic message to him.

-If something happens, send me a signal.

He knew he was worried, but nothing bad was going to happen.

As the door closed, Kiriel swung her staff and locked the door and her eyes changed.

“Time to keep your promise.”

The heart floated in the air and flew towards Jamie.
Seeing that, he smiled.

“Before that.”

“Have something to say?”

“What…”

When he showed the blank slip, Kiriel’s expression changed.

“I also got the thing I wanted for free.
Should we make a new trade?”

Jamie smiled broadly, like a sneaky child.
