Facing the flames at Fina's fingertips, the young man was obviously a little frightened, but he continued to speak.
"Do you really dare to do it? I know that if you mages use magic to kill people at will, you will have all magic abolished and be exiled to a desolate demiplane!"
Mages are people with power. If they are used arbitrarily, chaos will naturally occur. Therefore, the Magic Association has strict control over the actions of mages outside. Using magic to kill people at will is the biggest taboo. This is true even in the town of Sur. Everyone knows it.
Moreover, these young people are not underage, so they are even more protected. It is impossible for Fina to take action against them, unless she is willing to bury her with them with her future!
After hearing the young man's words, Fina hesitated. She didn't care about them insulting her at all, but if it involved people around her, especially Reiner, she would feel extremely angry, which is why she acted like this.
"Haha, trash!"
When the young man saw Fina stop what he was doing, he sneered and wanted to reach out to push her down, but that hand was blocked.
Reiner really couldn't stand the disgusting stupid behavior of the other party. He grabbed the young man's hand and exerted a slight force, causing the other party to moan in pain.
"Let go!"
The other two men wanted to help, but Reiner's other hand was already ignited with a green flame.
"Are you a mage too!!?"
The face of the man dragged by Reiner was a little surprised, but then he became cold again.
"Don't you dare touch me, I'm the mayor's son!"
"Yeah?"
Reiner smiled, and the strength in his hand became a little stronger.
"You probably only know that mages who use magic to kill people at will will bear extremely serious consequences, but don't you know the details?"
After hearing Reiner's words, the two people who had originally wanted to take action suddenly felt their hearts pounding and panicked.
"What do you mean?"
The young man who claimed to be the mayor's son was obviously shocked by Reiner's words, and panic gradually infected his face.
"The meaning of this law is that a 'mage' uses 'magic' to kill people at will. No matter which point, there is a lot of room for interpretation."
Reiner said quietly.
"Let's not talk about the identity of the mage. If I don't use magic, I just use brute force to break your hand, or punish you for insulting my reputation. These explanations can evade this law, at least I can What do you think I would do if my guilt is reduced to a situation that can be dealt with with money?"
What Reiner said is true. After all, mages sometimes encounter situations where they have to use magic to defend themselves. Taking a step back, a trial involving specific cases will cost a lot of money unless the evidence is conclusive like Piram's before. It took a lot of time to confirm, and the longest time of wrangling even lasted for decades.
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
The mayor's son retorted, but his body had already begun to tremble. He looked at his two friends for help, but the two men had already been frightened by Reiner's words and did not dare to take a step closer.
"Of course you can think that I am scaring you, or you can bet that I don't dare to hurt you here, but maybe you will lose your life."
Reiner said lightly, and the flame in his hand turned into a blue fireball, roaring towards the mayor's son.
Bang—
The sound alarmed everyone, and several strong men ran over with hoes and shovels. However, when they saw the scorched black marks on the ground, they could not move any further.
"you you you you... ... "
The mayor's son felt the burning heat that passed through his ears at that moment. He turned his head slightly and looked at the traces of bombardment only a few feet away from him. Only then did he realize that Reiner was not joking, and was warning him very seriously. .
There was a damp heat in his lower body, and he became incontinent uncontrollably.
"Kids, next time you do something bad, you'd better study the law first."
Reiner patted the other party's shoulder and then said to Fina.
"let's go."
Fina was still in a daze at this time. She had never seen Reiner like this before. When she thought of Reiner stepping forward to protect herself, Fina felt some kind of warmth flow in her heart. This was an unprecedented feeling.
She was stunned for a moment before following Reiner's footsteps. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the young man who she had always regarded as a nightmare in the past, making him shudder.
Perhaps for many years, this guy will stay away from Fina and never dare to offend her at will.
Fina was a little happy and a little emotional.
It turns out that what is needed to regain dignity is nothing complicated, just a little courage and a little wisdom.
"Is that guy really the mayor's son?"
Reiner asked as he walked. The kid just now didn't look like he had a good education. A gangster of this level would never survive a chapter in the novel.
"Well, his name is Cassin, and his father is the mayor of Sur Town."
Fina nodded and said, this town is very isolated. Most people inherit the family business. The blacksmith's son will become a blacksmith in the future, and the chef's son will become a chef in the future. Similarly, the mayor's son will also become the mayor in the future, and The daughter of a mage will inevitably become a witch.
Since childhood, this boy named Cassin has bullied Fina together with others, and has been more or less connived by his father. In this small town, the mayor is the king of a country, and he He is a noble prince, and all young people naturally look up to him.
"It seems that his authority in the future cannot be guaranteed."
Reiner smiled. Most of what he just said to the young man was nonsense, but he was very confident, and the people here were all idiots, so no one could see through Reiner's words.
The big fireball that was deliberately missed was also to scare others. Reiner didn't know if it was because they had seen too few mages, or because Fina's family was too easy to bully. He had the responsibility to help these ignorant guys reshape their three-dimensional life. Observation, the most important one is never to provoke a mage.
"Well, thank you, Principal Iain Gray."
Fina showed a slight smile. Reiner rarely saw such an expression on her face, which made him think that this academic girl seemed quite cute.
"You should smile more. It's not good to keep a straight face all the time."
Reiner guessed that Fina probably had a habit when she was a child, and most of her emotions were not written on her face, but now it is no longer the past, she should smile more.
"Also, from now on, just call me Reiner, or Mr. Reiner. I keep shouting Iggy, and I feel like I'm getting a lot older."
"Well... ... "
Fina seemed to be embarrassed by Reiner's words, and turned her face away in embarrassment.
"I-I understand, Mr. Reiner."
