First, I tried to get up. The dean of the Iliad Academy, it’s uncomfortable to lie down in front of a wizard of the 8th rank.
“It’s okay to lie down comfortably. You can’t even tell the patient to be polite. This old man did not like pretentiousness from the beginning.”
i feel uncomfortable I.
I groaned and sat down, then leaned my back on the bed and looked at him.
“I… I will explain the Mana of the Black Dragon first.”
“If you are going to lie or confide in anyone, it is better to throw it away right away. This old man knows the difference between lies and truth.”
Of course it is, you are an inspiration!
Crepon’s sage’s gaze has numerous functions, and one of them is authenticity detection.
Although I don’t use it that much due to limitations, it should be good enough for my question.
Even without that, the archmage in front of me would be able to recognize my clumsy lie right away.
The fact that you have lived for more than a century is something that you can never ignore.
“I don’t have the courage to lie in front of the dean.”
“So, you seem to know a little bit about my eyes, don’t you?”
Eyes are fast behind Have you grown your eyesight, not magic, over the course of 100 years?
I quickly changed the subject.
Since the dean was interested, the future was clear to inquire about the source of the sage’s gaze.
“The Black Dragon’s mana was absorbed by itself as I consumed the inner altar.”
“Did you get absorbed while ingesting the inner dandelion? That’s a fact this old man knows.”
That’s right.

Judging from the contents that were written as the crumbs of the inner end of Acius, there must be other people who ate it like an elixir.
They, too, must have recognized her mana as I did.
“Exactly what you are curious about is how you dealt with it.”
“how… Are you going to deal with it?”
“There were people like you who consumed the dragon’s inner altar. A little too much.”
Dragon Slayer must have been there before me. There must have been more people who had consumed the dragon’s inner end.
“However, no one has dealt with dragon mana like you.”
what?
tilted his head. I’ve consumed dragon mana, why can’t I deal with it?
Crepon looked at my expression and smiled as if it was ridiculous.
“Huh, then did you think that the dragon’s mana naturally follows its owner?”
“… So isn’t it?”
“Of course not!”
I was taken aback by the genuinely ridiculous expression on my face.
Settings not described in the original. Among them is dragon mana.
Because the main character has never consumed the dragon’s inner end. There was no information about him.
“This is really serious.”
Crepon clasped her head with her hands. Still, the smile on his lips does not disappear.
“If you know how to manipulate mana, you will know its nature.”
“Of course I do. Doesn’t that mean that mana traits are created like the owner who is using it?”
“Okay, it looks like you haven’t been wasting the academy.”
I know this is from the original.
I scratched my head. But what does this have to do with dragon mana?
“The nature of mana changes depending on the owner. So, what kind of mana will the Black Dragon, notorious for being violent, have?”
[Who’s violent! Check out this old human bastard!]
Shut up. You’re older anyway.
After I silenced Acius, I remembered Crepon’s words.
I even found the answer.
“hooliganism… Would you?”
“Add a little more. The black dragon’s mana is violent, out of control, and never obeys its owner.”
“… ?”
“Not obeying the owner is the same for all dragons. I wonder if their self-esteem is also in their mana.”
“All dragons?”
“okay. So we come to the conclusion that if you consume the dragon’s inner end, you can absorb normal mana, but you cannot have dragon’s mana.”
I was genuinely curious at Crepon’s words, so I pointed at myself.
“then… . How am I dealing with it?”
“Did I not ask that?”
No, I really don’t know when I look at it that way.
How can I get my mana out of control and out of control… .
[Stop, stop! Don’t bother listing the words of that young man!]
‘Again, you, the dragon, are older than the dean… .’
[Shut up. It doesn’t explain.]
‘Yep.’
[The other guys also ate my inner pod. I can’t remember how many times the generations changed, but there were several Dragon Slayers in each century.]
‘How about?’
[What do you think is the difference between you and those bastards?]
‘Well… Talent?’
[Wow, shameless bastard. You say that with your mouth.]
‘How do you make it true?’
The Dragon Slayer must have had good talent. Without that, there’s no way I’ll be able to catch the dragon called the suzerain.
However, he is a genius who lies all over his character. You can be sure by checking this.
They were called immortal geniuses regardless of the century. Whether it was Magic Swordsman Lennock or the Archmage Iliad.
This talent is the one who will help me reach an equal position with them.
In Lennock’s dungeon, he was half convinced of this.
[Anyway, talent is also talent. you gave your life What the hell do you have to do to dedicate your life?]
‘Five… I think so? I guess I’ve done a lot of shit.’
[…] Are you acting like an idiot on purpose?]
‘You caught it.’
[Shock.]
He organized the information while ignoring Accius’ swear words.
A special position called possessor.
The time limit granted therein. Unlike the usual time limit, a guy who can count lifespans.
Since we started from a completely different starting point, did the dragon mana give us an unintended advantage?
I just don’t think so.
Crepon, who was staring at me, opened her mouth again.
“This question makes no sense.”
“yes?”
“When you ask a person who takes dragon mana for granted, how they handle it. Isn’t it like asking how do you drink water?”
is it?
“Then move on to the second question. You must have died once. In my ‘eyes’, it sure looked like it was dead and gone. But suddenly he came back.”
“that… .”
Did it look that way in his eyes?
To be honest, I only think about it now, but it was a gamble.
Even if one year of lifespan is designated as a reward, due to the cost of dealing with Aksius’ mana, his lifespan will run out once.
Can the empty life be filled again?
The count has already reached zero.
I had a question like that, but it wasn’t an option at the time to doubt it.
Because there was no other way except for that option.
Except for that.
I also thought that there was no reason for the person who put me here to kill me so uninterestingly.
Well, thinking about it now, it’s completely nonsense.
“To be honest, I don’t know exactly.”
“You don’t know exactly?”
“Yes, you know that my life is short due to some special disease.”
The dean nodded his head. It must have already been confirmed through the eyes of a sage.
“Neither the duke nor the academy found out about my illness.”
Not even Acius, even me, the possessor.
Oropharyngeal veins, any poison.
I doubted everything, and I ran out of drugs.
However.
‘It was of no use.’
There was no cure to improve my lifespan, and the elixir was only a means to delay death.
So I ate the elixir and lived day to day.
As if seeing something from me, the dean made an unknown expression and tapped my shoulder.
“I see. This old man took too long.”
As his fingers flicked, at the same time, the membrane surrounding him shattered.
“This story will only be remembered by the two of us. Judging from the looks of it, it seems that most people don’t even know that it’s an expiration date.”
“… thank you.”
“I had good friends.”
friend?
I tilted my head, but the next moment. I could understand his words.
“Is it okay to go in now?”
“Well then. The old man talked too much.”
They carefully open the door and come in. Erina with red hair.
“I was holding the elf for a while.”
Adele in disguise and Christina standing slightly next to her.
“Are you awake now?”
And Agnes and Lee Han come in with their distinctive gazes scattered.
“Uh… The master is awake.”
Until Petra wakes up while rubbing her eyes.
All the original cast members were in this place. Characters that did not appear in the original. Everyone came to visit me.
The dean smiled and waved at me.
Did you tell me they are friends?
“Deron! Is your body okay?”
“Erina. You are not allowed to touch the patient.”
“okay… Agnes.”
The appearance of two people arguing.
“Han, shouldn’t you get treatment too?”
“it’s okay. Now is.”
The chemistry I wanted to see in the original.
“Come here and sit down.”
“… .”
It was a scene I had never seen in the novel.
moving in front of my eyes.
At the end of the day, with a damn fate.
It’s a life possessed by an unfortunate genius.
Might as well enjoy a little bit for now.
I thought that when I saw the characters who came to my hospital, chatted and lived peacefully.
“Deron… Did you laugh?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a master smile so brightly.”
Well, it’s a staple.
I looked around, trying to lower the corners of my mouth.
“Don’t touch me like that!”
“Evil, evil! Adele! Are your hands too hot?”
“It’s difficult to make a fuss in the hospital room. Both of you, please take care of yourself.”
The corners of the lips automatically rise again.
Nice scenery.
Even if it’s a demon king or annihilation, let’s enjoy this scenery for now.
I think so.
Time passed calmly like flowing water.
Shouldn’t the dean like compensate him? The Demon appeared in the academy due to his negligence and Deron even almost died to protect the students that the Academy was supposed to. Not only that, but he’s even asking him personal questions when he’s the son of a duke.
Since this is a magical school, it’s normal to assume the dean is special, some kinda strongest guy around who can throw his weight. He definitely has authority. He knows that MC is capable of becoming someone with great or a disaster, so of course he’s going to check for that and nip the problems in the bud if possible. It’s a normal trope.
Wonder how the dean would react if he knew axius’ ego was inside him lmao
