Rune of Jewels (3)
Among the eleven wizards, three are members of the Nantes Magic Society, also known as the Fanatics of Noah Michel.

The only information that can be confirmed from the Magic Clock’s database is name, nationality, affiliation, and brief resume. If it’s a domestic wizard, you can check it in more detail, but if it’s overseas, even that becomes difficult… .
However, there is a way. Fortunately, there are reports left by the staff of the Management Office. Although there are no unknown hunters like Alex Hope, there are notes on things to keep in mind if you are a disciple of Noah Michel or a wizard working under him, as you may work together someday. The magical society is extremely complicated, so there are many cases where people refuse to cooperate because they hire a wizard who is not on good terms.
Honestly, I don’t understand why we should care about such childish emotional fights, but what can we do? Wizards are always lacking. Especially if they are competent wizards. And since we didn’t want to be on the same level as the wizards under Noah Michel, we had no choice but to care about this and that.
So I didn’t know that the records I left behind would be this helpful.
After all, it’s something to write down and look at.
The three wizards in question are, of course, French nationals. Noah Michel did not specifically specify his nationality, but because he is French, he was particularly popular in France.
The three wizards had no particularly notable achievements. Each of them had less than three runes registered under their names, and they all had ambiguous performances. Naturally, as wizards, they could not produce any noteworthy results in an Asian country on the other side of the globe.
The only reason these people’s names remain in the administration is because of Noah Michel.
If it were me, it would be a situation that would hurt my pride, but these fanatics would be delighted… Well, even if it’s not a big deal, writing about a foreign wizard is problematic enough that not many people even know about it internally.
“Umm… Can you show me the rune effect again?”
“That’s it, but….”
[When the rune is placed on the floor, it reduces the noise in a 30cm wide X 30cm long X 30cm high cubic space centered on the rune]
What can you use something like this for?
This one doesn’t even have its primary use written down.
The Rune Association publishes a list of the top 100 most frequently used runes by hunters every year, as well as useful runes for each dungeon type. However, the Rune Association basically defines a rune as a ‘geometric figure that creates an artificial effect drawn by a wizard or magic pen.’
So, it is a combination of geometric figures, and even if it is not useful, you can register a rune as long as its effect is verified. The runes of these three wizards are like that.
Hong Seok-young’s face also becomes subtle, following my lead.
“Would a rune like this be useful?”
“It’s not like it’s useless, but….”
Hong Seok-young tilted his head to the side.
“I think it would be better used in real life rather than in dungeons?”
“Real life?”
Hong Seok-young pointed to the Jacques Matisse rune I was looking at. It was a rune that was said to reduce noise. It was also a rune that Hope had drawn for Noah Michel, who often used it.
“If you draw a lot of them and stick them on the ceiling, it would be good for preventing noise between floors.”
“hmm…….”
“Other things too. Sem Bloom’s rune looks perfect for keeping coffee warm.”
“Why do you have to use a rune to do that? There must be a product for it.”
“I guess it’s better to eat magic power than electricity. You’re a wizard, after all.”
“Is that the problem…?”
“Do you know how many old wizards there are who say that electricity is bad for magic?”
As you know.
If you think about it that way….
“Noah Michelle said he hates humans?”
“You might hate anything made by humans.”
“It seems like there’s nothing to do.”
I shook my head.
But I didn’t get any such feeling from Noah Michel, whom I occasionally spoke to at academic conferences and such.
Listening to Hope, he sounded like an idiot who couldn’t even handle one of his subordinates properly… . He couldn’t have become the pride of France leading the Nantes Magic Society if he was just that kind of idiot. Whether it was an academy, an association, or even a public institution, anyone in charge of a place where people gather had to have that much ability. Even if he was only the president in name.
If Noah Michel thinks he’s finally achieved his goal, she might have a plan for herself.
Instead of the runes of the three wizards, I brought up the runes that mentioned Noah Michel’s name.
[28% match]
[22% match]
[35% match]
There are other runes that show similar matches to Noah Michel’s runes, so we can’t be sure that this is Noah Michel’s, but…
“This one seems a bit more clear about where it’s going to be used. What other runes besides Noah Michelle’s do you think have similar effects?”
“No, that’s not true… If you say it’s similar, then is it similar?”
“Hmm. Well, if you look at it this way, it’s not a dangerous rune.”
“Except for this?”
“Except that.”
Hong Seok-young looked at the paper I had discarded. It was the paper with the problematic rune drawn on it.
[Stores magic power in a rune. The amount of magic power stored varies depending on the diameter of the rune, and the formula for calculating the exact amount is as follows. A wizard or another rune is required to use the stored magic power.]
Hong Seok-young, who was still unfamiliar with runes, saw through them sharply.
“Isn’t this like a secondary battery? The word magician or other runes is crucial. What if the rune is damaged? What happens to the stored magic power?”
Hong Seok-young, who had been pointing out suspicious points for a long time, suddenly turned around to look at me.
“Why, why?”
“You don’t use these runes very often?”
“That’s it….”
I shrugged.
“Can you enter the dungeon without a wizard?”
“ah.”
Hong Seok-young scratched his head with an awkward expression.

“There’s a portable power plant right next door, so what’s the point of having auxiliary batteries?”
It’s not that there’s no use for it. The runes used in building buildings require constant management by the wizard. This is because the magic power needs to be supplied smoothly. Even if you use the magic power in the air, well… there are times when that’s not enough.
In that case, it would be convenient to use this as a power source. But in the end, this also requires a wizard. In that case, it would be better for a wizard to just do it. It would be easier to use your own magic than to repair the runes. And the amount of magic power stored varies depending on the diameter?
I opened the formula for a moment and then closed it. I don’t know if I told you, but I’m a liberal arts major. I haven’t played with numbers since high school, except when calculating expenses.
“Should I look into math tutoring?”
Hong Seok-young smiled mischievously at me like that.
“If she wants to do something, she’ll do it well. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Maybe what you want to do is be a mathematician or something?”
Him?
“I would never do that.”
“You can’t say that Lee Rok-yi will definitely become like you.”
I blinked.
yes.
…Yes.
Now, if I thought that Wooirok would grow up differently from me, why do I keep identifying with him? I have never raised a cat, and I have never gone to a taekwondo gym.
So instead of majoring in film like me or double majoring in political science and diplomacy, he said he wanted to become a scientist and go to chemical engineering or something…
No matter what, that’s not it.
“Let him do what he wants. He even has a girlfriend now.”
“Don’t mention that.”
“Why? Does it remind you of your ex-girlfriend?”
“I’ve never… done anything like that.”
“Don’t be shy.”
Hong Seok-young laughed so hard he almost lost his breath.
Yeah. That would be fun. I would have had fun if I wasn’t a Wooi-Rok.
I looked at the runes again, leaving the squeaky laughter behind. Didn’t Michelle say she used them often? Thinking of the other runes Hope had drawn, it would certainly improve the quality of life in many ways. I wonder if Noah Michelle would ever have to worry about noise from upstairs.
I saw the rune that stores that magic power again. It is true that it has some suspicious aspects compared to other runes, and it is also true that it is not very useful, as I told Hong Seok-young.
I briefly recalled what Hong Seok-young had said.
This old man has a way of saying sharp things, so rather than just letting it go…
‘What happens to the stored magic power if the rune is damaged?’
Of course, I am not a genius in magical engineering or a rune genius.
However, runes are easier to learn than magic engineering, and there are also magic theories that you are forced to learn when dealing with annoying wizards. It is much easier to defeat annoying wizards with theories if you want to use them.
therefore….
I stared at the rune intently.
Runes are a collection of geometric figures. Each figure, even if it appears to have no meaning, has a meaning and a function.
If there were no clues at all, then I wouldn’t know, but now I know what effect this has, so if I just use my head a little and think about it… .
“…explosion.”
“hmm?”
“It’s going to explode.”
“explosion?”
“This is the rune.”
Hong Seok-young stopped laughing.
“If the rune is damaged while its magic power is stored, it will explode.”
“…Aren’t there any safety devices or anything?”
“If you had used other runes, then it wouldn’t matter, but no. Just like that, bang.”
Hong Seok-young took on a serious expression at my words.
“It was an explosion. Then I’m sorry.”
“yes?”
“There’s something in the rune description that says it stores magical power.”
“yes.”
“… That magical power.”
I looked blankly at Hong Seok-young. Hong Seok-young clicked his tongue lightly and continued speaking.
“What is the definition of magic?”
“… … .”
My eyes widened.
“Why are you suddenly asking such a high-level question about magical power engineering? The definitions of magical power that wizards, magical power engineers, and hunters have are all different. Which one do you want?”
“Unification hasn’t happened even after twenty years?”
“If it was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago.”
“Anyway, everyone is so stubborn… Anyway!”
Hong Seok-young forcibly changed the direction of the conversation that had been at a standstill for a moment.
“What I mean is…. From what you said, isn’t the definition of magic that a wizard uses a bit too broad? Noah Michelle is a wizard?”
“That’s right. Usually, wizards consider magic as a type of magical power.”
“Yes. Then wouldn’t this rune store magic as well as magical power?”
“… … .”
Then, can we no longer call it a rune?
“If we can store magic in this rune, wouldn’t it allow non-magicians to use magic? Mages would never do something like that.”
“When was this rune registered?”
“… … .”
“I don’t think they would have announced right away that Michelle was using it. If they had announced it sooner, the wizards would have had more time to look through the runes.”
I brought up the details of the rune. The structure that makes up the rune. The person who created the rune. The biography of Noah Michel. The people who confirmed that the rune works. And.
Registered in 2040.
Even though it was just a meaningless combination of numbers, there was one event that shook the world in 2040.
Death of Paros Sandra Gamble.
And we know what the terms of Sandra Gamble’s death are.
“Besides, I hope it’s my wish.”
Hong Seok-young’s words are not over yet.
“The flames you create with that sword. Do you think you can store them in this rune as well?”
