How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 9

Chapter 9

“…why are you asking that?”

Is this how it feels like your heart sinks and the blood in your body cools down?

I couldn’t bear to hide my trembling voice and asked Lina. And he didn’t forget to gently wrap her right hand.

Lina gave a puzzled expression for a moment when I was embarrassed, but eventually answered the question.

“Most of the officers working in the Imperial Palace have calluses there. I wondered if Isaac had the same reason.”

As she said, the typewriter has not yet been invented here, so you have to write documents only by hand. Therefore, calluses inevitably form on the hands of those who fill out documents, especially the officers working in the Imperial Palace.

I quickly rotated my brain in a situation of imminent crisis. Fortunately, Lina has no idea that I am writing a book. If you answer this in an understandable way, you can pass the situation wisely.

As a result, I was able to finally get the right answer out of my mouth.

“…it came about while studying. I have a habit of taking notes while studying. I want to make it a little easier to remember.”

“Hmm… Yeah? Well, it’s not strange to develop such a habit in order to fully acquire knowledge. I did it while I was homeschooled in the Imperial Palace.”

Fortunately, it seems to have worked to some extent. Even if it’s because of my reaction, I’m still skeptical, but it’s better than being caught.

After that, as I was breathing a sigh of relief inside, Marie, not Lina, suddenly intervened.

“But looking at it now, your hands are very pretty. Can I take a look?”

“Huh? My hand?”

“Yeah. Let’s compare it with me.”

Marie showed me her outstretched hand and encouraged me. I was confused at first, but I accepted it right away because it was an irrelevant problem.

“Wow. Your hands are really pretty. Do you think you’re prettier than me?”

Marie compared her hand to mine and admired it with all her heart. Probably because of the pen hoc, the hand itself was very pretty.

Not only his fingers are long and thin, but his skin is also white and manly.

I smiled shyly at Marie’s admiration and scratched my head. It was something my mother praised, but hearing it from other people made me feel ashamed for some reason.

“Are you going to manage it separately?”

“No. It’s just been like this from the beginning.”

“I’m completely envious. I’m annoyed because my skin cracks every now and then.”

Marie grumbled, but her hands are also very pretty. Since she is a duke Youngae, she must have paid attention to various aspects as well as her appearance.

Perhaps it was because of the change in the atmosphere, I felt my heart, which had been pounding with tension, gradually calmed down. I grinned as I watched Marie grumble at her hands.

“Oh, that’s right. Would you like to show Cecily too?”

“Yes? Me?”

“Yeah. I’m curious what a demon’s hand looks like.”

Cecily blinked red eyes at Marie’s surprise question. She didn’t seem to care that she used her half-talks comfortably.

Then Cecily hesitated for a moment, then cautiously showed her hand. However, there were too many calluses to be the hands of a princess of one country. In particular, the palms are rough and cracked like a tortoise shell.

When everyone was unable to open their mouths due to the completely unexpected condition of her hands, I felt as if I had seen her palms and looked closely. Just looking at it, the condition of the hands of my father and of her older brothers and sisters is the same.

These are the traces of countless trainings.

“Are you using a sword?”

“ah.”

To my question, Lina also exclaimed that she realized it too late. Cecily answered, wrapping her hand in embarrassment.

“Yes. I learned swordsmanship from a young age.”

“Aren’t demons specialized in magic?”

That’s what I heard when I was gathering information related to demons.

Asmodians, along with elves, are inherently superior to other races when it comes to magic. If humans express magic by calculating all kinds of complicated calculations, demons spread magic as if they were just breathing.

Moreover, ‘black mana’, which can only be used by demons, is several times stronger than normal mana. So, when a normal wizard throws a fireball, the demons drop Meteor at all.

“It’s true, but since I’m a princess of Helium, I’ve learned various martial arts. As you know, ‘control’ is an essential skill for our demons.”

“A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. This is it?”

Even in previous lives, if you look at athletes, firefighters, and special forces soldiers, they are basically both physically and mentally at an unbelievable level.

I can’t do what I like, I have to do only what I have to do, and sometimes I am pushed into extreme situations, so my mental strength is inevitably trained.

As I spoke with that thought, Cecily’s eyes widened. No, put that face on me for what I said.

Then Cecily nodded her head as if she had a great realization, and muttered a little.

“A healthy mind resides in a healthy body… That’s a really good word. I’ll always keep it in mind.”

“…I’m honored to be of any help.”

When I glanced at Lina’s eyes, I could see that her eyes had become more subtle. I tried to ignore it.

After a while, Lina’s lips were about to open.

damn!

Applause echoed out of nowhere in the classroom. If it had been a simple applause, it would have been buried in the surrounding sounds, but it resounded like an echo, drawing everyone’s attention.

At this, of course, the three of them turned their heads forward. An elderly man who did not know when he had come to the classroom stood proudly in front of the blackboard.

If Beerus, who was a professor of humanities, had a strict image overall, the professor who came in this time had the impression of being kind.

In addition to that, he has a thick beard, and his long white hair looks like Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings.

“Hmm. Now I’m ready to talk. Now that the break is over, let’s all focus.”

The new professor gave instructions with a heavy nod as the students focused on him. I looked at the professor who looked like Gandalf and checked the timetable first.

The timetable read ‘Leaf Magner,’ and he is a professor of magic and one of the critics who criticized Xenon’s biography.

“My name is Reef Magner, and I am a professor who will pass you on the knowledge of magic. Nice to meet you.”

As soon as Professor Magner announced his name in a low-pitched voice, applause erupted in unison. As I applauded, I pulled out the notebook and magic pen I had brought in advance on the desk.

Professor Beerus, who was a professor of humanities, didn’t feel the need to take notes, so he didn’t take it out, but it seemed something different this time. Not only is it different from the original style, but it is also magic.

When we think of fantasy, we naturally think of power and magic.

As I said before, magic is close to a privilege that can only be used by high-ranking people. There are a lot of words that I can’t understand even if I write a book of knowledge related to magic. It was so unkind that it was recorded so that only wizards could recognize each other.

“Are you interested in magic? You didn’t do it the way you did before.”

“Yeah. I’m interested. I’ve never seen it before.”

Even if Marie next to her asked in a voice that said it was surprising, she answered with a single knife. Magic! What a wonderful sound this is!

Although it may not manifest magic directly like Muhak, it is enough to hear the theory. For me, as an Earthling, this knowledge is more valuable than anything else.

Before long, the sound of applause that filled the classroom subsided, and Professor Magner opened his mouth in an old-fashioned voice.

“Before starting the full-scale class, there was a saying that was a little harsh to my ears. Did I mention it was Zeno’s biography?”

“…Well?”

Why is Xenon’s biography mentioned as soon as it starts? That was the time to think about it.

Professor Magner made a face that didn’t hide his displeasure, and then made a remark that made my eyes twitch.

“Be careful not to mention such low-level novels in my lectures if possible, because I don’t want to admit them as novels.”

“… …”

Is this a new concept malicious comment? nope I saw malicious comments in newspapers, and that’s just bad news. It is also a slander thrown in front of the person concerned.

I don’t know that the main character of the villain is in the same space, but I still feel bad. Beyond bad, I felt very dirty.

Still, what can you do? You just have to think of it as an idiot. I exhaled a long nostril in frustration, then looked to the sides alternately.

Unsurprisingly, all of them didn’t have very good expressions. Among them, Cecily was the worst, but she distorts her expression as if she’s going to fight right away, exuding a ferocious energy.

It is presumed that he was trying to be patient and trying to capture it, but as an ordinary person, it was a little scary for me.

“…Cecile?”

“…yes?”

“It’s going to get a little cold…”

“Ah…! Mi, sorry…”

Fortunately, when Lina quietly pointed it out, Cecily quickly regained her energy and apologized immediately. I looked straight ahead, rubbing my trembling arm.

Should I say it’s overpriced? When Professor Magner opened up about Zeno’s biography, the classroom became as quiet as a mouse. Like it or not, Professor Magner shuddered with regret.

“tt tt… that bonfire made me lower my eyes. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

Then why don’t you use difficult words from the beginning? Even the nobles are blaming others for inserting words that are difficult to understand. I can see Ei running away waving his hand in the distance.

Professor Magner started the lecture, regardless of the sudden chilling atmosphere. The atmosphere was clearly different from that of Professor Beerus, but it seemed like it would be good to take a class for the first time.

“First of all, it is important to know that just because you learn magic, you can’t use magic. So what’s the difference between the two? It’s simple. Magic is about learning the knowledge related to magic, and magic is literally learning magic. “

Compared to previous lives, magic is learning the history of machines, and magic is making those machines. Even if magic is a power granted only to high-ranking people, its history will be vast as it has already melted into their lives.

‘It would have been better if I hadn’t said useless words in the first place.’

I am very interested in magic. However, the professor is very rude.

The dislike of Professor Magner has long since penetrated the floor and reached the mantle. Anyone who has worked hard on their creations would be offended if they were criticized right in front of them.

square- square-

I wrote in my notebook with a magic pen while calming my boiling inside. Maybe it was because no one other than me had a notebook or pen, but the sound of scribbling was particularly loud.

“Then before you ask… there’s a red-haired student.”

“…Yeah?”

why me again Is it because of this guy’s red hair?

While I was greatly perplexed, Professor Magner explained why he had called me.

“I think I’ve been recording something from a while ago, but if it’s related to magic, please don’t record it.”

“…why?”

“Magic is a power that can only be used by those who have been chosen since ancient times. It should never be spread arbitrarily. Even if it is just a piece of knowledge.”

“No, what is that…”

Isn’t that an old-fashioned idea? So, what about this magic pill and the temperature control function placed in the dormitory? refrigerator?

It was so absurd that the above words did not come out of my throat. Even that statement is in direct opposition to Professor Beerus’s beliefs.

Somehow, it seemed that there were only geeks like that, as there were few books related to magic. It is understandable to see that such a thought is taken for granted.

“Then you are denying that knowledge should be spread widely?”

In the end, a student who did not see it asked a question. I also wanted to say that, so I waited for Professor Magner’s answer.

But when Professor Magner heard the question, he stroked his voluminous beard and came up with an unexpected answer.

“That’s not true. This is a story limited to magic, and other knowledge is irrelevant. Magic is a dangerous power indeed. You can tell by looking at the races that use such power as if it were breathing, that is, demons and elves. What if I can’t? It’s a walking disaster.”

“… …”

“In the kindling, they are described as beings with a tragic fate, but demons are only demons after all. No matter how much they pretend to be human, their essence does not change in the end.”

That’s outright racism. Of course, as soon as Professor Magner made those remarks, a lot of eyes turned to Cecily.

I was afraid that Cecily would be angry, but she only smiled bitterly. This is a look that was roughly expected.

No matter how much Zeno’s biography has changed his views on demons, there are still many people who still treat demons as an element of anxiety. In addition, Professor Magner is an old-fashioned person who denies Zeno’s biography.

“It’s fine. Cecily. You don’t have to worry about what that professor is saying. Okay?”

“…yes.”

Even though Lina hummed and comforted her, Cecily’s face didn’t seem to straighten out at all. Rather, she lowered her head in despair.

After seeing it, I devised as much as possible. Even if it means getting kicked out of the classroom, let’s feed Professor Magner some shit. Let’s eat Big Cheek, which he will never forget.

Luckily, Professor Magner pointed me out again.

“Then put off the useless words, there the red-haired student.”

“…Yes, Professor.”

“What do students think magic is?”

what is it It’s such a strange power.

If I said it straightaway, I wouldn’t be able to eat it and I would just be kicked out, so I answered roughly.

“…I think it has the power to relieve people’s troubles.”

“Can you tell me more?”

“Well…”

I got up slowly from my seat. Just like with Professor Beerus, when I stood up again, I could feel my attention focused.

After that, I reverted back to what Professor Magner had just said.

“Magic is certainly a dangerous power, but it is a power that, if used properly, can save people’s lives or achieve desired ends.”

“What?”

“…Mr Isaac?”

Professor Magner frowned at my presentation, and Cecily looked at me with her eyes wide open. But it doesn’t end here.

“Magic can only be used by the chosen, but if you look closely, it is ingrained in our lives. Being able to control the temperature of the classroom now is also magic, and the ID card issued when you entered Halo Academy has magic. Like this, magic is double-edged. It is the power of the sword. Sometimes it threatens people’s lives, but sometimes it saves people’s lives and adds convenience to life.”

“… …”

“It doesn’t matter if the subject using that power is the demon. Right now, it is absurd to discriminate against demons as we humans are using magic as a weapon of mass destruction. I think it’s right to say that.”

The more I continued, the more Professor Magner’s expression hardened. To be honest, even like me, it would be uncomfortable to plant. Because it’s like a single young man is denying everything he thought was right.

Professor Magner took a deep breath, as if to calm his anger, and then opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“…It must be the ability to beautify a dog’s voice. But my question is the justice of magic, not that kind of argument.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I’m talking about magic justice. Magical justice.”

I answered that question in a sarcastic tone.

“If I explain it in difficult words, it won’t make sense to you? As you know, the students here have low eyes.”

Ha ha ha ha ha!

At my words, a weak laughter bloomed in the classroom. Marie is pooh! He burst into laughter, and Lina shed a precocious laugh as if it was refreshing.

Only Cecily was looking at me with a mysterious expression, but when I met her eyes, I smiled.

When I smiled, she, who had been depressed before, also shed a small smile.

“Whoa… Look. Student.”

At that moment, Professor Magner called me. The lecture hall, which had burst into laughter at the same time as the professor called, became quiet in an instant.

“Yes, Professor.”

“I don’t need a disloyal student like you.”

Professor Magner then sentenced me with an angry face.

“Turn it off.”

“…Yeah?”

“I’ll lower my eyes and tell you what you want. Get out.”

Professor Magner pointed out the classroom and said firmly. The atmosphere in the classroom was even worse than before.

I had a snowball fight with Professor Magner for a while, then looked around. Marie was watching, Lina was looking surprised, and Cecily was sending her worried eyes.

At that, I smiled and opened my mouth as if to be relieved.

“I’ll be back next time anyway.”

“What are you murmuring about? I can’t get out of here fast!”

Eventually, Professor Magner couldn’t contain his anger and shouted. It was so loud that an echo could be heard if he was properly angry.

As soon as he shouted, I hurried down to the door. As I went down to the door, Professor Magner looked at me and muttered like a housewife.

“A bastard with no frills. Kids these days are…”

Yes Yes. I listened to the old man well.

But do you know that? That Big Cheek doesn’t end here.

I pretended to go towards the door, then turned back as if I had remembered something. Professor Magner asked me with an annoyed tone as soon as he saw me returning.

“Why are you coming back?”

“What are you leaving behind?”

“What is it?”

As soon as Professor Magner asked, I faced him directly. I could feel the students sitting at the desks looking at me vividly.

Now it’s your turn to eat the last big candy. You idiot bad commenter.

Without a single stutter, I uttered a vast amount of words one after another.

“It consists of a lot of blank paper, on which you can record and summarize or organize the knowledge you have learned, sometimes it is necessary to analyze information, sometimes it is necessary to draw a picture, and to produce it you need the help of a printing house. In the past, it boasted a high price, but now it is easily available in the market.”

“… …”

uh out of breath Also, a movie is a movie. Still, I was satisfied that I made it to the end without stuttering.

I checked Professor Magner’s reaction while pretending to be as calm as possible. He opened his mouth slightly and looked unsure of what he was hearing.

“…what the hell is that?”

what is it

“Note.”

My notebook I left on purpose.

Hahaha!

Contrary to the lengthy explanation, laughter once again bloomed in the classroom at the identity of the object, which was so simple. But Professor Magner had his face blushed slightly from his humiliation.

After a while, Professor Magner glared at the students once, then rebuked me in a voice that was more absurd than anger.

“It’s just a note. Why did you explain it that way? Are you testing me?”

no. I’m trying to f**k you.

I couldn’t say the above words literally, but I could answer a similar point.

“I thought that a professor with high eyes could understand it.”

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Unlike the inside of the classroom, which eventually became a field of laughter, Professor Magner’s expression was very pleasing. I left Professor Magner in disbelief, went back to my seat and took my notebook and pen.

“Isn’t that too reckless? What if I get expelled beyond suspension?”

While I was taking my notebook and pen, Lina was concerned about my safety. Even if her words were like that, it was a smiling face, whether she was refreshed from the inside out.

To that question, I shrugged my shoulders and answered in a calm voice.

“Then the professor’s evaluation will get worse? Well, the evaluation is still bad, though.”

Politics like this is simple. In fact, if I take excessive discipline, Professor Magner’s identity cannot be guaranteed.

In front of many students, Professor Magner denigrated the story of Zeno, which caused a stir as a low-level novel, and further discriminated against demons. This alone has a slight possibility of being socially buried.

‘I’ll listen to what my parents said…’

That was the moment.

“…it’s fun too.”

“Yeah?”

“No. Nothing.”

Even if I asked again, Lina only smiled.

*****

It was the next day. As I sat down in the classroom, Marie, a beautiful girl with white hair, sat down next to me and gave me great news.

“Hey, did you hear that?”

“what?”

“Professor Magner is there. You’ve been stripped of your professorship.”

“What? Really?”

“Yeah. I heard that the first thing you said was out is the first thing you say about Xenon’s biography to start a fire?”

“… …”

I realized the power of my work again.

‘If you do this with a bad ending, you won’t be burned at the stake, will you?’
