Episode 59 – The Beginning of Alberto’s Downfall Strategy
Albinus Venera, a 2nd year in the Martial Arts and Martial Arts Club of the Royal Academy, has been having fun lately.
Ever since he ate the bottle of medicine that Black Hood gave him, his body was overflowing with power.
If Albinus was able to use the power of 3 by squeezing as hard as he could before, he was able to use the power of 5 effortlessly now.
Since Albinus realized that he had the power, he was able to stand out in everything.
Now he was aware of himself that he had reached the top level of at least an Auror user.
He thought that if he trained a little more and raised his level, he would be able to reach the level of an aura expert in no time.
Finding him returning to the dormitory after training as usual, his friend approached Albinus and greeted him.
“Albinus, is your training going well these days?”
“What, right? These days, it seems that my skills have improved a little more than before.”
When Albinus answered his friend’s question, his friend smiled and put his arms around his shoulder after hearing the answer.
“Keuuu, congratulations. All the hard work you’ve put in is finally paying off.”
His friend was sincerely congratulating Albinus.
His friend was the one who had been watching Albinus’ hard work.
That’s why Albinus couldn’t take his praise as a compliment.
The reason he was able to grow like this now was because of the effect of the medicine in the bottle that the being wearing the black hood gave him.
If he found out about that fact, would this friend be genuinely happy about his growth?
Absolutely not. Rather, he would accuse himself of taking medicine from a strange being.
If that happens, everything I’ve worked hard for until now will be in vain.
So, despite his friend’s praise, Albinus was forced to laugh.
After parting with his friend, Albinus entered the dormitory room to wash himself and change his clothes.
After changing into the cadet uniform, he left the dormitory and headed for the main building.
On the 3rd floor of the main building, there was a club room for the autonomous activities of Royal Academy cadets.
At the Royal Academy, there were so many clubs created voluntarily by the cadets.
There were so many clubs in operation at the Royal Academy, such as the Culinary Research Club, the Alchemy Experiment Club, the Swordsmanship History Research Department, the Library Department, and the Magic Circle Research Department.
Among them, at the entrance of the club room where Albinus’ footsteps stopped, was the ‘Ancient Documents Research Department’.
Why did he, who is in the martial arts and martial arts club, join the ancient documents research club?
Anyway, when Albinus arrived in front of the club room of the Archival Research Department, he opened the door and went inside.
“Oh, are you here from Albinus?”
As Albinus opened the club room door and entered the club room, a man with shaggy hair who was lying on the sofa as a bed stood up and spoke to Albinus.
“Did you sleep here again today, senior?”
If you listen to Albinus, he was older than Albinus, and he often slept here.
“What… You know that. I think this place is more comfortable than the dormitory.”
He stretched out and answered Albinus’ question.
His name is Darius Melatun Arcus.
He was the older brother of Lordren, who died at the hands of Alberto a while ago, and the eldest son of the Arcus family.
“Since your younger brother passed away, haven’t you been living here all along?”
“…… If I want to get revenge on the son of a b*tch who killed my brother, it’s a waste of time to enter the dormitory.”
Darius’ voice was full of anger.
However, Albinus was not particularly angry when he spoke to him in a voice filled with anger.
The reason was that he knew that the target of his anger was not himself.
He knew all too well who Darius was showing hostility towards.
“Alberto, I will definitely kill that son of a b*tch with my own hands. Even if I give my all.”
There was a reason why Darius was so angry at Alberto.
Darius and Rodren, who were born to the wife of the Marquis of Arcus, were born two years apart, but their brotherly friendship was very strong.
Darius was a culinary genius with one of the best cooking skills in the Arcus family, and Rodren was a good younger brother who loved his older brother’s cooking and would sometimes eat tasteless food, saying that it was made by his older brother.
‘Brother! My brother’s cooking is the best in the world!’
“He said that the food I cooked was the most delicious in the world. If such a nice kid was angry enough to surprise, who was the first to do it?”
“Of course… Isn’t that Alberto’s son?”
“Yes. That’s correct. After all, you don’t disappoint me either.”
Darius grinned at Albinus.
Seeing Darius like that, Albinus grinned as well.
“I’m going to sleep here today as well~ Sunbaeim.”
“Horus? What are you doing here?”
Darius and Albinus were surprised by the appearance of Horus, a member of the Archaeological Research Department who suddenly appeared.
“Ah~ Is there any reason why I shouldn’t come here?”
“It’s not like that… ….”
There was a reason why Darius and Albinus were surprised.
Horus Menetas Bedoran was a scion of the Bedoran family, and as a cadet, he was an unrivaled genius in magic using magic circles.
I couldn’t help but be surprised when a member who normally didn’t show up even in the poor room, saying he was studying the magic circle, showed up without saying anything.
“I heard everything. Don’t you both want to hit Alberto?”
Horus said, looking at Darius and Albinus with a meaningful smile that he knew everything.
“That means I haven’t just been stuck in a lab all this time.”
“By the way, Horus. Do you have a grudge against him too?”
Darius looked at Horus and asked a question.
As he recalls, it was because Horus had no reason to hold a grudge against Alberto.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Well? Can I just let it be because I don’t like it?”
“Just because you don’t like it?”
“Well, since I smashed my favorite toy, can’t you play a little prank as the toy’s owner?”
The toy Horus was referring to was Damiron, whose mind was broken after having a showdown of honor with Alberto at the beginning of the school year.
Judging from the fact that he was a toy, he was someone who, like Demiron’s half-brother Michael, thought of Demiron as a toy to play with.
“That toy you were talking about… No. I see what you mean. So, is there any good way?”
“Yes. I just discovered something very interesting.”
Horus said he had found something interesting, and he set the stack of papers he had in his hands on to the table in the center of the club room.
“What is all this?”
“A while ago, I found something interesting in the library. The title of the book was ‘About the practical magic of the Pandeum Empire’. I read that book, and there was an interesting magic.”
“Interesting… ….”
“…… Magic?”
Darius and Albinus were interested in Horus’ interesting magic.
“Whoops. It seemed that the two of you would be interested. This wad of paper here is a copy of the magic we need for our future plans.”
Horus said so and he picked up a piece of paper from the table.
On the paper he picked up with his hand, there was a magic circle with all sorts of geometric patterns and unknown characters written on it.
“This magic is a horse, it is a magic that amplifies people’s emotions.”
“Magic to amplify emotions?”
Darius questioned Horus’ words.
Even though there are many magics in the world, it was because I had never heard of magic that amplified emotions.
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“Of course. This magic was so dangerous that even how to use it and how to make it was the worst kind of magic that was completely erased. However, someone created a way to prepare for it, and I analyzed it in reverse and restored this magic.”
What Horus said was so great that it could cause a stir if it became known to the public.
Analyzing the magic developed as a countermeasure and conversely reviving the magic that the countermeasure was trying to block was something an ordinary wizard could never do.
Only a wizard with a talent comparable to Horus could do it.
“So, what are you going to do with this? If it was a magic that simply amplified emotions, people who had a crush on him would have more likes, and people who had negative feelings would come out more negative. Then wouldn’t people be suspicious?”
“That’s why I prepared another magic. The Pandeum Empire created a lot of magic. This magic, too, was created by the wizards of the Pandeum Empire.”
Horus picked up another piece of paper.
That paper also had a magic circle drawn on it, just like the paper Horus picked up earlier.
“This magic is an arbitrary improvement of the magic I showed you earlier. Using magic to amplify emotions, it is a sword that will make people feel good about Albinus Sunbaim here.”
“You don’t use magic on people, you use magic on Albinus?”
“Yes. It’s easy to put a bunch of negative emotions in and cause the other person’s downfall. However, on the contrary, there is a high possibility that our plan will be discovered by the other party.”
Horus began to explain his plan.
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Simple. It is to create an ideal hero with a much greater story that goes beyond Alberto. What if Alberto and his close friends didn’t, but the general public liked our ideal hero more? Naturally, his influence will also decrease, and from then on, we just have to create negative public opinion about Alberto word by word. No matter how strong a person is, the damage from the psychological aspect cannot be ignored.”
Horus’ eyes were shining brighter than ever as he explained the operation to downfall Alberto.
Hearing that story, Darius and Albinus nodded their heads.
Horus told the two of the detailed plan, and Albinus was chosen as the new hero for Alberto’s downfall.
At that time, Alberto arrived at Benas Manor, where the plague had occurred, and was walking towards the burned village, which is known as the first outbreak point, at Professor Julia’s request.
