24 – Magic, an old woman, and a magic swordsman who is not far from each other
“Ah, I’m going to die.”
A life-threatening struggle with a professor.
Thanks to you, I got the skills I wanted, but I also ended up with muscle pain as a bonus.
I just stretched lightly, but my muscles were screaming.
Professor Mac Million doesn’t know that moderation is true.
‘Still, I can’t rest well in bed.’
In my heart, I just want to lie down on a soft bed and sleep all day.
But my own weakness caused me to resist even such temptation and lash out at me.
‘I need to become stronger.’
The last Parasite Queen incident.
Honestly, I thought I could somehow handle it on my own.
Anyway, I just had to hold on until the professor came, and with my skills, I could have endured as long as I wanted.
But Lily’s unexpected intervention.
That alone ruined all my plans.
It was something that could not be helped.
Who would have thought something like that would happen?
All kinds of excuses come to mind, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s also my fault.
This is not a game.
So, it is natural for unexpected things to happen.
In that case, we must assume that and become stronger.
In order to do so, you must build up as much strength as time allows.
As much as possible.
‘I thought swordsmanship was enough, but I guess I should try my hand at this as well.’
I looked at a building different from the main building and let out a deep breath.
Gehenna of Iris.
This building is commonly referred to as the ‘Professor’s Building.’
It is a private space provided to professors at the academy, or a place where joint laboratories are gathered.
It is rare for students to set foot here, but that does not mean that students are not allowed to enter.
But why are students reluctant to come in?
I realized it right away the moment I stepped into the building.
“I hate it! “I won’t be a teaching assistant anymore!”
“hehehe, where are you going! “You’ll be my assistant forever!”
“Someone save me!”
A slave male student called a teaching assistant and a professor chasing him.
If such a scene is a daily occurrence, what kind of student would want to come on their own?
“Ugh!”
When I tripped on the foot of the teaching assistant who was running this way, the teaching assistant, who was only wary of the professor, fell down without being able to resist.
He glared at me with a bright red face, but
Before he could attack me, the professor’s hand touched him.
“You, you bastard!”
“Well done! I don’t know who you are, but thanks to you, you’re not our slave. “We were able to catch our assistant.”
A teaching assistant who looks with resentment in his eyes like an enemy.
The professor who tied the assistant’s arms with a rope thanked me.
“But this is my first time seeing this student. Are you interested in becoming my teaching assistant? I will treat you well. At least better than this guy.”
“No! I don’t like it! Who would be subjected to human experimentation?”
In the words of someone who made the wrong choice in life.
When I saw that with my own eyes, I couldn’t help but feel pity.
I shook my head and gently rejected the professor’s suggestion.
“I’m sorry. “I needed help from another professor today.”
“It’s okay. Among professors, I also have some power. So, I don’t know what kind of professor he is, but I….”
“This is Professor Mariana.”
“…… Tsk!”
When she heard the professor’s name, her attitude suddenly changed.
A professor frowning as if he was lucky.
From that appearance, one could guess the extent of Mariana’s power.
She then strolled around her teaching hall for a moment, sending the professor leaving with her teaching assistant in tow.
‘Mariana. Mariana. Maria. Ah, here it is.’
[Mariana Endymion]
I checked the name on the door and immediately knocked without hesitation.
“Yes, please come in.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Then please excuse me for a moment.”
As I entered inside, answering the soft voice,
I made eye contact with Professor Mariana, who had impressive red-brown hair.
Her soft impression, like her voice, and her bold outfit are the opposite.
I felt it especially because of my voluminous breasts.
“Oh my, you. Did you really come to see me because you had something to do? Student Ron.”
But I didn’t expect that she knew me.
I guess it’s because it’s class F after all.
Or is it because my face is known to the professors because of what happened during the practical exam?
Well, anyway, even if she knows me, it doesn’t matter because the plan won’t go wrong.
“…… ?”
I looked at Professor Mariana sitting in front of her and tilted her head.
He gave me a meaningful look as if my reaction was strange, but
She asked her as if she knew nothing about him.
“Isn’t Professor Mariana here?”
It should work.
As I felt anxious and worried, Professor Mariana smiled and opened her mouth.
“Oh my….”
‘Ugh!’
Her face is smiling, but there is pressure pressing down on her shoulders.
This was proof that she was very angry.
“Why did a guy who doesn’t even know the professor’s face have some business to do with me?”
A euphemistic declaration to turn off.
If you were an ordinary student here, you would run away.
But I am different.
Because I was aiming for this from the beginning and pretended not to know!
“Sorry! Could it be that you were Professor Mariana?”
“Of course. I don’t know if you have any business to attend to, but I don’t have any, so I’ll just go back now….”
“No way is this young….”
Finch!
“Beautiful….”
Finch!
“I didn’t know that you were a professor who had no shortcomings compared to people in their 20s. “You must be a teaching assistant.”
Finch!
Okay, there is a response.
The pressure that was weighing on my shoulders has long since disappeared.
In fact, her mood improved to the point where the atmosphere around her became softer.
As expected, she is a grandmother who is sensitive to age.
“Hmm! Okay, it’s okay. What could be wrong with the student? “The problem is that I look so young.”
He says that with his own mouth.
This old woman (82 years old)!
Still, the basic work has been completed to some extent, so let’s get straight to the point.
“So, did you come here to do something?”
“I came here because I wanted to hear some advice on simple magic.”
The reason why I came to see Professor Mariana.
That is to learn magic.
I’m not good at magic, but the reason I want to learn magic is because of the trait I acquired last time.
Characteristics.
Although it is the lowest level trait, this trait alone is enough reason to learn magic.
It reduces magical power consumption and greatly increases recovery.
This can solve the chronic problem of wizards.
More than anything, I also have growth characteristics, so I can fully cover it by training my magic at the same time.
“Hmm, as a professor, I want to help students who need help. After all, I’m a professor so I’m very busy.”
“Oh, as expected…” .”
“So, instead, I will give you one of my textbooks as a gift. “Please take your pick from here.”
Having said that, I held out three books.
When I checked the title of the book, I was filled with joy.
‘After all, this is just like a game.’
[The Grand Wizard’s Truth, Ultimate Flame Magic]
[Even monkeys can do it! Basics of plant magic!]
[Essential magic textbook for adventurers]
As expected, three books were optional in the game.
Among them, this is the last book.
I chose [Adventurer’s Essential Magic Textbook].
At first glance, other books seem good, but when you look at the actual effect, it is quite disappointing.
First of all, a book titled [Ultimate Flame Magic].
That is the highest level fire attribute magic, and it gives you a skill that can only be used by mastering other fire attribute magic.
In short, this book is like a piece of cake for someone who wants to learn magic.
Then the options are naturally narrowed down to the remaining two books,
There is a hidden reason why I chose [Adventurer’s Essential Magic Textbook].
That’s right.
‘Increased affinity for all attributes!’
The increase is not that high, but it is rare for it to increase this much in the beginning.
And the magic in the textbook is also useful, so it is a good choice if you are thinking about the future.
“Thank you. Professor.”
“Then you did me a favor, so now you can listen to me too, right?”
“Yes?”
This wasn’t in my plan.
Professor Mariana’s eyes suddenly changed,
She continued speaking while stroking my shoulder.
“Actually, it’s been a while since I was separated from her husband. But as the days go by, I feel lonelier….”
“… ….”
“If it’s okay with you, my daughter’s stepfather…” .”
“Sorry! I don’t have time because I have other things to do! “Then please excuse me!”
“Ah, wait!”
Who would marry an old woman like you?
I didn’t look back when she called and ran at full speed.
From her grasp.
To escape from a terrible future.
***
(You should have learned from me.)
“It’s noisy!”
I got angry at the witch who interrupted me while I was practicing magic.
But deep down, I couldn’t help but sympathize with her words.
‘It’s worse than I thought.’
Originally, magical power, like muscle strength, is trained the more it is used.
So, you have to consume a lot of magical energy to be trained.
Unfortunately, the attribute Was holding me back.
“If I were to use this for a hundred days, it would be of no use.”
A small flame flickering at the tip of a finger.
[Torch] Consumes almost no magical power.
It’s still a magic that requires a small amount of magical energy, but since it is reduced by the Attribute, you won’t notice any reduction even if you use it all day.
‘I should have really learned it.’
(It’s okay even now. I can teach you well.)
The position of answering with a confident voice.
Honestly, I can only guess how great her remarks were.
That’s right, the magic that blew away the Parasite Queen in one go.
From the fact that she can use it without any preparation, you can see how great her skills are.
The great wizard who destroyed the world.
When it comes to magic, no one will be able to catch up.
If her existence were known to the world, all the wizards in the world would gather and appeal to her for her teachings.
Even if she is a major criminal who destroyed the world,
Her wizards are willing to sell her soul to ask her for favors.
“Aren’t you asking me to reduce the sentence instead of teaching you?”
Still, there is only one reason why I refuse.
Because I don’t know her intentions yet.
What if her goal is to get her sentence reduced and get out sooner?
If that happens, I will be committing an irreversible atrocity.
Instead of a happy ending for Lily, it ends up destroying the world.
That’s why I keep refusing.
(I don’t even want that. The guards don’t have that kind of authority in the first place.)
“Well, that’s right.”
What authority do you think I have as a new prison guard?
Even now, you have to get a ticket to summon a prisoner, so how can they reduce the sentence?
(In the first place, as a wizard, I don’t like the fact that the prison guard learns such poor magic.)
“Are you sloppy?”
(Of course. First, let’s use the torch you are using as an example….)
I listened to the explanation that suddenly started, and it caught my ear more than I expected.
Just as things that felt boring at school become fun when you watch them on video,
Her explanation aroused interest and encouraged people to listen naturally.
“Hot! This is not it! “Why are you teaching me all of a sudden?”
(Chuck!)
I came to my senses for a moment and realized that everything was going as she intended.
The great wizard who destroyed the world. It’s not normal.
“Well, that guy…” .”
While calming her mind and looking around, she happened to find a passing line.
A line that moves leisurely as if it has no particular purpose.
I suddenly remembered the reward I got last time.
‘If not now, when will I do it?’
Function obtained as a reward for defeating the Parasite Queen.
That is the tablet camera.
You may wonder what kind of reward this is, but I would definitely be disappointed if it were just for taking pictures.
However, the real value of a camera comes after it captures an object or person.
‘This is…’ .’
Name [Rein Schreig] Level [13]
Strength – 43
Speed – 13
mana – 4
Faith – 3
Durability – 10
Magic swordsmanship
Liberal Arts
Water 013 / 100
A function that allows you to find out a person’s abilities or information about an object.
With this, not only my abilities, but also other people’s abilities.
It can be particularly useful as it allows you to check the growth of Line or Lily.
However, when I checked the line’s abilities, I felt that my face was not very good.
The reason is because of the line’s miserable abilities.
I never expected it to be this weak.
“Anyway, it’s very simple.”
It’s still hard for me to become strong.
Why do I have to feed so many things to a baby bird, even though it is not a baby bird?
Thinking of the line that had disappeared before I knew it, I let out a deep sigh.
Damn an 82 years old women is hungry for a teenager 💀
Magic is only 4 yet he’s a magic swordsman? Lmao this guy really should’ve stuck to the path of the knight
