I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy chapter 238

49. Witch (5)

late night.

Arriving at the library, Full Frame heard a word from the librarian.

“You can’t rent a car because you came too late.”

“does not matter.”

She had no intention of borrowing the book in the first place, so she nodded and looked around.

Late at night, the Stella library is rarely visited by people, so the ghost story ‘night library ghost’ was once popular among students.

It turned out that it was not a ghost, but soon disappeared when it was revealed that it was a bad goal of the seniors in the 3rd year who studied all night to enter the university tower.

‘There’s no one there…

“Are there any books you are looking for?”

“No, just what… …

Full-frame, who was about to say that she had come to ask a question, shut her mouth. Come to think of it, the act of daring to come all the way here and ask about the traces of Baek Yu-seol was quite ridiculous.

‘Something is off-putting… …

just go back When that thought occurred to me, the librarian, who was staring at the full-frame name tag, clapped his hand and said:

“ah! You’re Baek Yu-seol’s student girlfriend, right?”

“yes?”

It’s not, the word naturally comes to me

Why didn’t you come?

“I have a book that I forgot earlier. It’s the kind Baek Yu-seol was looking for, so I think he’ll probably like it… … Can you tell me later?”

With that said, the librarian handed him the book, and Full Frame accepted it.

[The Witch and the Truth]

So, in other words, the information that Baek Yu-seol has been looking for in the library is none other than a witch.

“… … Yes. I will tell you.”

Having received the book, Full Frame left the library and thought as he walked down the street.

‘Witches exist.’

She knew it well because she had read the original Ropan. It’s because the witches are the ones who are mentioned and appear frequently even though they say they live hidden behind the world.

And perhaps sooner or later, there will be a great commotion in Arcanium because of witches. If it went as planned, Azel would get caught up in it, but it’s safe thanks to Baek Yu-seol’s blocking in advance.

However, in the end, Azel is safe, but the future of witches having an accident will still remain. Baek Yoo-seol is probably a witch

I’m thinking of stopping it… … .

‘Do I need to find out about the witch?’

There is no use in reading books about witches in the library.

This is because there is not a single book properly documented about the existence of witches.

Baek Yu-seol must be more aware of that fact than anyone else, but there is definitely a reason why he reads while looking for books.

‘You have lost your knowledge, or you have a question you don’t even know about.’

In the former case, there is no need to worry, but if there is a mystery that even Baek Yu-seo is not aware of, Full Frame may help.

In the original Ropan, the setting for the witch was detailed enough that Azel almost became a ‘witch mad’, so it was as if he had expert-level knowledge.

“ Hmm•••••••

Full-frame, who was about to return to his dormitory, moved his steps towards the male student dormitory. Although it was late, Baek Yu-seol went to bed anyway.

You know, I was going to wait in his dormitory.

Stella General Knights Commander Alain.

If I had to define his personality I encountered in the original game in one word, it could be called ‘Psy-Co’.

“Are you here?”

“Yes.”

Arriving at Arain’s office, I slowly observed the surroundings. obviously my

He knew that he had a personality close to a madman, but on the contrary, seeing the bright and neat interior of the office made me feel quite awkward.

It’s a hobby that likes to decorate with that personality. I can’t believe it.

“Sit this way.”

Without even the usual tea or coffee, Araine, who was seated in the first place, immediately brought out the main argument.

“Recently, I heard that you are personally investigating witches.”

“… … Yes. Well, yes.”

“Is there any special reason?”

What should I say?

just out of interest?

no.

Arain doesn’t want such a harsh answer. He was the kind of person who never wastes his time on useless things, so it would be good to give him the answer he wants.

“I want to hunt witches.”

“That’s a stupid idea.”

… … did I just say

Arain kept a hard expression on her face.

He said stroking his wrist.

“A wizard cannot hunt witches. You know that.”

“Yes. I know.”

A witch who mainly used fantasy magic was an absolute match for a magician who handled reality scientifically.

Amman You have to work hard to summon flames and roll ice, and if you touch your mind and destroy it, you become a fool who can’t do anything.

And Araine also knows that 12 years ago in the past, while fighting a witch, she wore Qi Meditation.

Since you’ve dealt with witches yourself, you know better than anyone how stupid it is to deal with witches as a wizard.

“However… … You might be a little different.”

Alain looked into my eyes.

“Magic leakage retardation.”

“You have a different body structure from other wizards. Your body is innately unfavorable to the use of magic, but… … In other words, there is less risk of being enchanted.

easy.”

“you’re right.”

In fact, I was able to completely drain the illusion magic.

“So, I want to make a suggestion to you.”

Araine placed the pocket watch on the table.

The pocket watch was mainly used by wizards to prove their affiliation, but unlike the cadet pocket watch I currently have, Arain’s has a golden, shiny star pattern embossed.

‘Stella Knights Pocket Watch’

He licked his lips softly.

“It is a pocket watch that can temporarily prove the qualifications of the Knights of Stella.”

“That is… …

“You’ve been working alone so far, and you’ve done a lot of work nonetheless. But there are clearly limits to being alone.”

Having said that, Araine pushed the pocket watch towards me.

“If you take it and become a member of the Knights Templar,

We promise to treat you with no less respect, and we will also provide you with information that is not known to the general public.”

“… … Is it an offer to join?”

“okay. You have a unique presence within Stellar. These conditions must be met.”

The Stella’s Knights are the world’s best armed forces, and as they are called a kind of ‘world police’, no one can join.

The level of magic must be high, of course, while building up a career such as hunting horses and subjugating beasts over the years.

It was a place where they could barely set foot only by proving their skills.

So it’s even weirder.

Obviously, I have been able to solve many cases so far, but if I had to compare it with the achievements of each member of the Stella Knights, this is because it is very insignificant.

“If you accept this watch, you can use some of the rights of the Knights Templar even as a student, and you can become a full member of the Knights Templar upon graduation. I do not pay.”

“For me… … It’s quite overkill.”

“You can think of it that way.”

I stared at the pocket watch.

‘Is this really okay?’

In the first place, the reason I was working alone was because I had no one to move with.

Of course, even if you belong to the Knights Templar, it is impossible to publish future information, so it would be difficult to work alone, but it was definitely a great advantage to be able to get even a little help from the Knights Templar.

In addition, there were practical problems. I always wondered, ‘What will I do after preventing the destruction of the future?’

problem is also solved.

Since I can’t even use magic or alchemy, I can say that the Magic Knights gang, whose rank is determined simply by force, is the most suitable group.

“Of course, there is one condition.”

“… … Is it a condition?”

“Currently, the Knights of Stellar are an armed group with no state, acting as a cheap solution.”

It was a tone in which no pride was felt about the profession of a magic knight.

“You, too, usually work as a student, but when you get a mission, you have to move according to your orders.”

“ Hmm•••••••

That’s a little bad. When I made a face that I didn’t like it at all, Arain immediately corrected the condition.

“But at an age where you have to focus on your studies, it will be difficult for you to do frequent assignments. As it is now, I will assign a separate task only to the cases you are interested in. Is this enough?”

“It’s not enough, it’s a little too much. Why are you treating me so well?

What is it?”

“I appreciate you very much. For the future of the Knights of Stella… … You are absolutely necessary.”

“Hey, what did I do well to say that?”

He seemed to be overestimating too much, so he joked about it to change the mood, but he still did not bow down with a hard expression on his face.

“… … Are you really serious?”

“okay.”

If you say that, no more

It didn’t have to be New Year’s Eve. The conditions were good enough and I don’t know why, but Arain trusts me very much, so I just have to use it to eat.

“I’ll do it.”

As soon as I accepted the pocket watch, Araine’s expression softened, though it was very, very slightly, as if she was satisfied with it.

“Congratulations on becoming an interim Stellar Knight. Well then, we should talk about the first mission right away.”

“… No, I didn’t even get an appointment letter, are you giving me the mission right away?”

“It’s a mission you might find interesting. mind

It has to do with women.”

Every time he brought the word witch out of his mouth, he kept stroking his wrist.

“that… … Yes. It’s interesting.”

When I affirmed, Arain took out the documents prepared in advance and put it on the table.

“Your task is to secure and, if possible, eliminate the witches installed in Arcanium.”

After saying that far, he crossed his arms and said.

“Can you?”

Without hesitation, I accepted the document and nodded.

“Sure.”

After that, I was only able to get out after talking with Araine about the existence of a witch for a long time.

‘As you may already know, witches do exist.’

With that said, Arain rushed out.

never brought up the past that she was defeated by the witch, and tried to provide me with as much information as possible. Unfortunately, most of it was something I already knew.

However, there was one very interesting story among them.

I wondered if it was directly related to the reason why I keep hearing auditory hallucinations in my ears, but it was said that a witch with a grudge attributed her soul to an object… … .

“Well?”

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw that the door was

paired but open. Did I not close the door properly?

‘How are you?’

There is also CCTV anyway, so thieves are rare.

After entering the dormitory, I took a light shower and hid the envelopes in a simple locker.

Then, after turning off the light, I was about to lie down on the bed. I felt a soft and warm object next to me, so I jumped up in surprise.

“Hey, what’s crazy?

I hurriedly summoned the glasses to brighten my vision, what the hell.

“… … full frame?”

A little girl with short hair curled up like a shrimp and was trying to sleep.

‘Did I find the dormitory wrong? ?’

That’s not it. Because the structure of the room must have been my dormitory.

“What the hell is he doing here?”

Watching him fall asleep while occupying a corner of the bed, it’s more ridiculous than angry.

was following

Should I pick it up and bring it back to the original dormitory? Or do I have to sleep somewhere else?

“Eh, I don’t know.”

But when I thought about it, it all bothered me. Since I was going to travel all over the Arcanium every day from tomorrow, I wanted to take a proper rest, so I pushed the full frame into the corner and laid down on the bed.

Something was quite bothering and inconvenient, but…

I will sleep though.
