How to Survive at the Academy chapter 62

Glast Subjugation (11)

The viewing angle is narrow. It was a long-standing concern for Professor Glast, who is nearsighted.

Because I read a lot of books, it is inevitable that I suffer from myopia and the field of view is narrow.

Life as a teacher is, after all, a static law.

As with most jobs in the world, after decades of repetition, everything becomes routine and patterned.

The academic calendar of one year, which was tumultuous and messy, does not deviate from the big trend as it repeats for decades.

At that time, the anomalies and problems that bulged out at that time remain only as experiences of the past that such things have happened…

In the end, what remains in my memory are everyday landscapes that seem to be photographed using the same frame.

Sitting at the large desk in the private lab, perusing the manuscript of the Sage’s Seal, analyzing the Aspect Magic, managing the Bachelor’s Curriculum, and reviewing textbooks for teaching students.

Then the scenery outside the window changes.

it snows

It’s raining.

The Wind Blows.

The sun rises in the east, and when you wake up, it is running away to the west sky.

The youngest professor who had an accident comes to ask for forgiveness, bewildered.

First-year students majoring in elemental science come to their private laboratory to prepare for intermediate magic.

The chief dean on his way to work stops in the middle to have a cup of tea.

If you sit in the same seat and immerse yourself in your work, you will soon forget the painful memories.

If it is a memory that cannot be healed, there is no choice but to slowly forget it.

If you don’t find a cure, you’ll end up finding a way to forget the pain.

At some point, the dark circles get thicker, the eyes become tighter, and the hair becomes frizzy. Hearing rumors that it’s like a skeleton gourd doesn’t really offend me.

When you sit at your desk in the lab and swing a quill, your vision sometimes gets blurry.

Also, is his nearsightedness a problem, or is he running out of stamina, or should he take a break? That’s what I thought, but… Compared to usual, the intensity of work isn’t that harsh.

Fragments of old memories that come in from time to time enter my mind again.

Straighten your back, bury your body in the backrest, and sweep your face down once. As always, close your eyes.

There is no point in reminiscing about Muri’s face any longer. It’s just cutting off my flesh.

Then, what should I paint on the long darkness beyond my eyelids?

There is nothing to draw. It is a huge canvas viewed by a beginner painter with a fresh brush.

After giving up on filling the void wider than the vast ocean, when he opened his eyes again… Taylor and his party with swords were facing him.

Ed came down from the railing. After going backwards to the Trix tube and reviewing the overall situation, I was thinking of going back to the underground waterway. I didn’t want to leave near the site until the very end.

As Ed came down from the railing, Lucy jumped down as well, grabbed her sleeves and flopped after her.

When Ed asks what’s going on, Lucy shakes her head a couple of times and says she’ll just go with her.

The two of them climbed the stairs and came down from the roof of the Trix building.

Taylor’s sword strike ripped through the air on the roof of the Mana Tower.

The protective magic that was activated before reaching the Glast, blocks the progress of the sword strike. With a bang, Taylor’s sword jumped out.

However, Jigs, who followed, slammed his knuckled fist into Glast’s movement. It was a blow that was accompanied by enhanced wind magic. However, Professor Glast, who saw even that, implements the high-ranking magic ‘Time Prison’.

Jigs, who had been suppressed as it was, was unable to move. Elvira and Adele are also suppressed in the time prison that appears one after another.

Tailly deflected it with a swordsmanship, and Clevius was out of range in the first place, so it was safe. Still, more than half of the power was neutralized.

However, the determination does not disappear from Taylor’s blazing eyes. Rather, even the cowardly Clevius was influenced by those eyes, leading to the battlefield with his trembling hands.

Professor Glast kept the distance apart, avoiding the sword attacks of the two warriors. Then, one by one, he begins to take out the magic equipment.

Ed reached the first floor of the Trix building and confirmed that the situation was almost settled.

From noblemtl.com

Most of the confusion has been cleared up, and the faces of the students seemingly relaxed.

She crosses the hallway on the first floor of the Trix building with Lucy, who grabs her sleeves and catches up with her.

Fragments of the Demon Golem are all over the place. Traces of Taylor’s battle.

Chief Researcher Melverick, who fought him, is unconscious.

The student council president, Beros, who tried to stop Taylor from running wild alone, is also resting in a corner. Taylor must have been filled with anger at the kidnapping of Isla. Even Beros couldn’t stop Taylor like that.

His term is almost coming to an end, and Beros shakes his head to Ed comforting him that he is having a lot of trouble. He also stopped Taylor because of his position as the student council president, but he says he fully understands Taylor’s dogma.

Semester 2 is coming to an end soon. It will get busier when the vacation comes, and when the next student council president election is over, you have to prepare for graduation. The student council president, Beros, said with a bitter smile. What he did during his tenure… In the end, he looked up at the night sky through the broken ceiling, saying that he was just being swayed.

Clevius’ sword strikes hit Professor Glast’s shoulder as an effective blow. It wasn’t deep, but it was a significant wound. Professor Glast frowned and activated the ‘Shock Strengthening Wave Ball’.

Clevius, who was pushed out by the shock, almost fell out of the power tower, but Taylor managed to catch him and drag him. Clevius, who had his legs trembling in fear, couldn’t bear it and trembled with fuss.

Professor Glast, who barely spread the distance, captured the wound on his shoulder. He forcibly tied the blood-seeping robes and chanted all kinds of basic elemental magic to keep melee warriors in check.

For inexperienced students, it was a magic that had to be used one by one, but for Glast, a mature professor, it was easy enough to do multiple chants.

It is difficult to deal with with only two melee warriors. But Taylor bravely dashed through elemental magic.

Ed and Lucy, who crossed the Gyoza-dong and headed towards the entrance to the underground waterway, met Lortel, who was coming from the Living-East.

When Ed asks how he managed the Golden King Elte, Lortel tells him that he had locked him up in the guest room of the Chamber of Commerce branch.

After all, Elte is bound to lose all his vested interests. As long as you manage to prevent them from escaping, there will be no more problems. Since all initiative has already passed, there will be no more tactics to use.

Lortel shakes his head when asked if he feels complicated by the loss of a former father.

and then talk Even the pain of loss is nothing more than a deception to her.

Losing means that you have gained something precious at least once.

Lortel has never had an unreasonable relationship with family or close friends with whom he could relate with all his heart.

Even loss is the privilege of those who have had it in the end, and Lortel and Ed looked up at the Mana Tower side by side.

The light emitted by the magic tower was enveloping the bachelor.

Glast, who had been holding back Taylor and Clevius with basic magic, spewed out a new aspect of magic.

An ominous magic with a dark red tone fills the roof of the magic tower.

High Aspect Magic ‘Time Acceleration’.

In an instant, the magical energy flowing through Professor Glast’s body exploded, and his movements accelerated to an unbelievable level.

The action itself is slow and sluggish, but the pace is strangely quick. It really felt like Professor Glast’s time was fast-forwarding.

Even the use of basic magic increases at an unbelievable speed, making it difficult to even hold on to it at all, let alone break through.

However, after triggering the Swordsmanship Ceremony, Taylor’s hair was dyed pure white, and her eyes were bright red.

Awakened, Taylor narrows the distance through the basic magic.

Professor Glast is bewildered by Taylor’s movement, which begins to catch up with even the accelerated speed. He quickly pulls out the shock reinforcement wave ball again and activates it, but Taly, the swordsman, cuts even the wave.

Professor Glast, who eventually gave up the distance, cuts his side. Blood flowed and the pain soared.

Professor Glast’s pupils fluctuate greatly, and his magical reaction becomes noticeably unstable.

However, Professor Glast’s wind blade also hit Taylor on target.

Taylor fell out with a cut in the abdomen, but stands up bleeding again. He confronts Professor Glast once again with the noble determination to overcome the pain and rescue Ayla.

In the end, gaps are formed in the unstable Aspect magic. Breaking the prison of time weakened for a moment, Elvira is released from the seal.

After quickly grasping the situation, Elvira begins tossing explosive reagents. Finally, there is hope for the Tailly Party, where long-distance support has been created.

Professor Glast quickly began chanting a new aspect magic, ‘Small Time Regression’.

Ed, Lucy, and Lortel walked side by side until they reached the entrance to the underground waterway.

As I was contemplating whether to go in and check the inside of the underground waterway, Dorothy, a senior in the pension department, came up from the entrance. It’s been awhile since I’ve calmed down.

When Ed asks if it’s all right, Dorothy complains that she has a headache and is dizzy. Then, he realistically talks about the confrontation with Yenika, which was terrifying.

Ed doesn’t say anything, so he just listens. Dorothy trembled as she continued her story, then suddenly looked up at the magic towers in the sky.

And then speak carefully. I don’t know what kind of plan Professor Glast is up to, but at least to Dorothy, she is a precious gift that has recognized her.

He always felt like he was looking somewhere far away, so the sense of distance could not be narrowed, but he says that if he were to pick the best teachers he met in Sylvania, he would always choose Glast.

Ed hears this and understands why Dorothy was involved in this plan. Although everyone is a mean and cursed Glast, to some, he has been faithfully serving his role as a gift.

Professor Glast’s wounds healed in an instant, and the dark red magic that covered the sky became more magnificent.

‘Small Time Rewind’ is a magic that rewinds the time of one’s body and restores all wounds to the original.

Taylor, Elvira, and Clevius widened their eyes at the manifestation of magical powers that they had put all their efforts into. Due to the power of Aspect Magic that defies the law of causality, Taylor momentarily lost his will.

But there was no disappointment here. As long as the life of his lifelong partner, Ayla, is at stake, Taylor never gives up. In a life full of hardships and hardships, only Taylor herself knows how enormous Ayla’s existence was.

The expressed Gumseongsik enters the second stage. Techniques that were momentarily opened are engraved in Taylor’s mind.

However, Professor Glast is by no means an easy opponent.

Professor Glast’s Aspect Magic, which has been studied to the limit, covers Taylor’s party. High Aspect Magic ‘Nightmare Imprint’. Even Taylor’s swordsmanship method couldn’t cut it.

Losing their minds momentarily and falling into a swamp of nightmares, Taylor and his party meet dozens of deaths in hallucinations.

You get stabbed, cut, and wounded, and repeat that illusion over and over until your mind is shattered.

It was a moment in time, but even though my heart was broken hundreds of times, it was not a strange ordeal.

However, Taylor, Clevius, and Elvira broke out of their hallucinations in an instant.

Unlike Clevius, who vomited and Elvira, who was squeezing out tears, Tailly clenched her teeth and ran towards Glast again.

However, with his weakened body, he could not break through Professor Glast’s defense. The lower spirits summoned by Professor Glast stood up all at once, and poured elemental magics on Taylor’s body.

After dozens of sword strikes, Taylor tried to break through as much as possible, but in the end, Taylor couldn’t reach Professor Glast and collapsed in a state of disrepair.

Just as Professor Glast was about to deliver the final blow, a spear of ice erupted through his stomach.

Ziggs broke through the prison of time and came out, taking advantage of the disruption of the Aspect’s magic due to the battle with Taylor.

He immediately finished judging the situation and, without delay, cast the lieutenant ice barrier magic ‘Ice Spear’.

It was a bit crude compared to Lortel, who was well versed in freezing magic, but it appeared quickly and was enough to subdue Professor Glast.

From Professor Glast’s mouth, fresh blood spurted out. It was fatal.

However, the time magic that reappeared once again by paying for the lifespan restores Professor Glast’s wounds.

After meeting Dorothy, quite a bit of time had passed.

After discussions with Ed and Lortel, they did not enter the underground waterway. Just by looking at it, the ground seems unstable due to continuous earthquakes, so it will not be strange if it collapses at any time.

Ed fell into a pitiful feeling because he still felt sorry for the tech supplies and recipes he had left behind in the Soul Library, but he was a bit like that, even though he risked his life as collateral.

I was thinking of just watching it all come to an end here, so Yenika came out of the woods.

It was Yenika, who had confirmed that Elte’s mercenaries were retreating without any change. It was later than I expected because I had stopped by somewhere in the middle.

When Ed asks where you’ve been, he says there’s something he’d like to check.

And then Yenika explains. These were the words Takan had told Yenika after the occupation of Ophelis had ended.

– ‘By the way, a strange magical flow was detected outside the northern forest. I’ll have to check it out when I have time. ‘

– ‘Looking at the fact that it’s especially active at night, it seems like it’s related to Holy Spirit magic. The exact location will be determined by Merylda.’

It’s called zodiac magic, so it seems like you want to check it out yourself. I wondered if it was one of the law circles spread to build a mana tower, but not a single mana tower was realized inside the northern forest.

If so, is it a law that was engraved for a different purpose? Yenika seemed to care too much about it.

So I wanted to check it one more time. Yenika asks if she can come with her, so Ed nods in concern.

As I was about to go out on the road, I heard the rustling of forest grass behind the zelkova tree next to me.

hey! sounds are also heard.

I looked to see who was hiding, and assistant professor Claire Elfin was sitting alone, hugging her knees.

Even if the wound returns, it doesn’t mean that you don’t feel pain.

The pain of being stabbed several times still haunts Professor Glast’s mind.

Due to the forbidden magic that had been raised to the limit, blood vessels appeared in his eyes, and his pale complexion was dyed whiter.

Reinforcement Output Rake Hand, Shock Reinforcement Wave Ball, Abyss Call, Combustion, Wind Blade, Fear, Demonic Contagion, Time Acceleration, Basic Spirits, Short Distance Space Movement, Reverse Gravity, Purifying Wind, Demon Golem Summoning, Explosiveness, Demonic Tribe Open , Space Freeze, Ash Reagent, Chestnut Blossom Reagent, Smoke Cloud Reagent, Steel Rock Reagent.

He dominates the battlefield by mobilizing all sorts of magic supplies, elemental magic, summoning magic, space magic, interferometric magic, curse magic, and alchemy reagents. The top of the magic tower was quite spacious, but neither of them could stand in peace.

In an instant, Taylor’s group begins to be cornered.

Nevertheless, Taylor’s will is not broken.

At this point, I might be frustrated, but my two flaming eyes are towards Aila, who has always been by my side and has been my support. The will power contained in the will to save Ayla is so close that anyone can speak.

The subjugation squad, led by Taylor, begins to break through Professor Glast’s obstructive magic.

The melee warriors who bypassed, neutralized, and sometimes intercepted, and narrowed the distance, wounded Professor Glast’s body little by little.

Avoid, distance again, and block, but there is a limit. In the beginning, Professor Glast was weak in close combat.

Blood spurted out of his shoulder again, a dagger flew past his collarbone, and magic pierced his thigh.

Nevertheless, he overloads the forbidden magical power to the limit again, and rewinds the time of his body. No matter how many times he inflicts a fatal wound, Professor Glast does not think he will fall.

It felt like they were hitting a tall, strong wall with their bare fists, but Taylor and the others did not despair or give up.

Defeat is unacceptable. Do not succumb to pain Don’t be discouraged by trials

Truly a hero’s walk.

The last remaining time to break the prison, ‘Romantic Adele’ joined the battlefield.

Claire, who was surprised to see Yenica’s face and giggled, began to apologize over and over for whether something was engraved with fear.

Yenica, who was rather troubled by the reaction, bowed her head and apologized, but she was sweating coldly with a shy face as if she felt relieved.

When Ed asks what he was doing here, he replies that he ran away because the underground waterway looked dangerous.

Ed looked at Claire’s face. His skin was floating in one place or another, and his eyes were red. I wondered if I could ask if Yenica was even crying because she was so scared… The tears were already quite dry.

When asked if she was crying, Claire assistant professor panicked and nodded with a smile, hahaha.

Leaving the battlefield, Claire was weeping while looking up at the towering magic towers.

Before even asking what’s so sad, Assistant Professor Claire answered first.

He was a person who entered Sylvania for the past year and lived as Professor Glast’s assistant for a long time.

“Professor Glast is just someone who can’t help but dislike anyone. He’s a tight-knit nerd, grumpy, ripped off his looks, he leaves everything behind, he’s good at himself, he’s self-righteous, he preaches a lot on such topics, and he only reprimands him if he’s wrong… .”

She must have guessed to some extent about the full story of this incident or Professor Glast’s words. He is a person with great intuition and good eyesight in useless places.

“But… at least… the most scholarly scholar I have ever met in Sylvania.”

Sniffing, Assistant Professor Claire looked up at the magic tower in the night sky just like everyone else.

Whatever it is, she has been with Professor Glast from her degree to the beginning of her career as a first-time professor… She was his best student.

Little by little, the situation is turned upside down by Adele’s joining. With the addition of support from Adele, who has a special talent for purifying magic and strengthening allies, the frequency at which Professor Glast gives away distance noticeably increases.

He is stabbed in the stomach, stabbed in the shoulder, and repeatedly mortally wounded, but Professor Glast does not blink an eye and stands up again.

Even the robes of the faculty and staff, which are already soaked in blood, are tied together without any regard.

The wounds aren’t too bad for Taylor. Even Taylor can’t rewind time.

Although his body was already covered in blood, he raised his sword again. The head is not in a normal state due to repeated mental magic attacks.

Nevertheless, the will is not broken. holding both legs firmly. At this point, his willpower has surpassed the limits of human beings, and he is almost like a zombie. Innate willpower was the only blessing fate had bestowed upon Taylor.

Professor Glast blocks Clevius’ sword attack and deflects him with his wave-based magic. Taking advantage of that gap, Elvira’s basic magic strikes Professor Glast’s stomach, but she overcomes it with her spirit and draws out the Holy Spirit’s magic.

However, the wind magic of Ziggs was already attacking his back. Some of them were blocked, but the wounds could not be avoided. The shoulder area was pierced once more.

Breaks the smokescreen reagent and instantly obscures the field of vision. However, Taylor’s sword strike creates a gust of wind, sweeping the field of vision in an instant.

He tried to blow up Taylor’s body, which he quickly approached, using his magic tool, but suddenly the shock-reinforcement wave ball didn’t work. Adele’s interruption magic temporarily broke the magic circuit of the magic equipment.

He tried to restrain Taylor’s movement by using even basic magic as it is, but his stomach was already pierced by Taylor’s sword.

“Gagging.”

Again, fresh blood spewed out of his mouth, and he staggered… Professor Glast unleashed the power of the Holy Spirit.

However, the body’s time does not go back any more.

The flow of magic that had been overloaded to the limit did not allow him to perform any more miracles.

“Uh, huh.”

After pulling out the sword, Taylor fired another sword attack.

Professor Glast couldn’t stop it.

Naturally, I thought that the wounds would heal and the battle would continue, but this fatal wound did not come back.

Full of blood, Professor Glast stepped back slowly with a staggering movement.

“Uh, huh.”

Taylor’s group did not unravel their fighting stance at once. There was a possibility that he was acting, so he was ready to give an additional blow.

However, all the magic expressed by Professor Glast was dispelled, and the spirits that constantly kept the back row in check were also reverse-summoned and disappeared.

“Wow, whoa…”

There was a sound like a wind leaking through the boiling blood sputum. Professor Glast continued to step backwards like that, and was pushed out to the outskirts of the rooftop of the Magic Tower.

The wind from the sky tickles your blood-stained cheeks.

The top of the magic tower, where all the flow of magic has been lost, begins to vibrate little by little. It was a sign of collapse.

In the end, Professor Glast… let out a self-helpful laugh.

“Yeah, you won.”

Close your eyes and open them

As if the open starry sky was about to embrace him, he opened his arms and accepted it. The cold night air was the only thing he held in his arms, but he couldn’t stop smiling at the feeling that wasn’t too bad.

I wonder what this feeling is… After all, it’s just self-help.

In the end, there is only one thought that comes to mind. As expected.

“I miss you… Muri…”

Is this advice? Or is it stupid?

Drawing out the last remaining magical power, he slowly relaxed his body.

Your back is an endless cliff.

Glast’s body floated for a moment in the cold night air.
