I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy chapter 79

079

21. Soul Chess (1)

Edman calmly unfolded the newspaper. There was no need to ask what was so important.

It was because one surprising piece of news that adorned every page of the newspaper stood out in particular.

[Alchemist Alterisha develops new technology for future magic engineering.]

… … Indeed, it was the content that made a fuss in the newspapers.

In addition to functions that can increase the efficiency of all wands that have been used so far, scrolls that can store magic, potions, and ‘items’ with latent mysterious functions.

It was Alterisha’s alchemy engineering that could make all future technologies imaginable so far come true.

“It would be like this… …

At first glance, I heard the great point of the random number intersection procedure and knew it. A combination of alchemy and magic. Those two impossible linking technologies have a value beyond imagination.

It was difficult for those without knowledge to get a sense of the extent of that.

Edman did just that.

However, after checking it up to that point, he was able to put his mind at ease.

‘It’s no big deal. After all, your father must be moving fast.’

Bringing these technologies into the country is a very important issue. already all

It must be moving in the company and the top, the horse tower and the guild.

If you can localize items to Adolevit in the name of the Atalec family, the family’s foundation will be strong.

‘Come to think of it, that commoner at that time was talking cheekily.’

what? The Atalec family refuses to deliver items to the Adol Levitt Kingdom?

funny sound. Even thinking about it now, I can’t stop laughing. I don’t know politics and society at all, so I’m ignorant and say that nonsense.

The dean of the school came with their new technology and begged, ‘Please buy our products.’

‘It was a really fun gag after a while.’

There was no place that the Duke of Atalec did not reach out to in the Alchemy Castle, where joint research on items was being conducted, and even the alchemists inside the Stellar Academy were mostly those who had a deep relationship with Adolevit.

Of course, alchemy is the realm of national inviolability, but… … that’s just a fictional story.

I don’t know if all the alchemists work together, or the unknown ‘co-author’ speaks directly, or the great ‘golden alchemist’ comes forward.

Nothing happens with just a single word from commoners. Because that’s the reality.

Follow me!

At that moment, the phone rang in the office behind the club room.

“young master. I got a call.”

“Yes, I heard.”

Immediate students who will inherit the family

Quite often they owned a small private office in Stella, which was even large because Edman was Atalec’s successor and the head of one of the largest clubs, the Red Hawk.

Thanks to that, despite being only a student, Edman Atalec’s office was equipped with a telephone.

Considering how rare the phone is, it was quite surprising. Still, because it was Stella, the phone itself is common and rare, but the fact that a phone is installed in a club room.

Edman walked gracefully and picked up the receiver.

“Edman Atalec, I have a call.”

-… … son

The voice I heard over the receiver was none other than my father. Edman was a little surprised, as he seldom made such a direct phone call.

“What’s going on?”

– I just received a call from the Ministry of Pensions.

“Oh, father too. You have quick feet… .”

– Because the Duke of Atalec rejected it, the ‘Alterician School’

It sounds like the goldsmiths have stopped delivering items to their homeland. By any chance, do you know anything about this?

“••••••Yes?”

Moment.

I was speechless.

Those words my father told me, because I heard it a lot somewhere.

My head went numb.

Because it was unbelievable.

“ha ha ha… . Daddy, even kidding… . Why would I say such a thing to the Alterishians… … ?”

– But, it is true. Because the ‘co-author’ of the random number crossover procedure said that directly.

“••••••Yes?”

Read at noblemtl.com

Co-author.

I mean, I’ve never met such a person. Then a sudden thought.

‘..maybe, Baek Yu-seol?’

My heart started pounding.

Apart from that, his spine became cold, and cold sweat formed on his forehead.

“No, that, I… …

He was speechless for a long time

As I fumbled, I managed to grab hold of a ray of hope.

“Ah, how dare you reject the kingdom of Adolevit… . It doesn’t make sense.”

-… … okay. As a kingdom of fire, Adolevit can be said to dare to influence even the Stellar Academy.

“Yeah, so… …

-However! That’s a story limited to the magic world. Son, do you know where most of your country’s engineering skills come from?

“Yeah, of course… …

As for magic engineering, the Black Iron Empire.

In alchemy, it is alchemy.

Realizing that, Edman kept his mouth shut.

“However… … You don’t even know how much influence we can have on the alchemy castle-“

-ha….

Dad sighed, not listening to Edman to the end.

– It seems you still don’t understand the situation properly. your crazy hair

I bought it high and believed it. What’s the use of all that?

Edman couldn’t breathe and listened to his father.

– Son, it’s a ‘technological revolution’.

“•••Yes?”

– This is a new technology that has never been seen before. It is a technology that can make things comparable to ‘artifacts’, which were called ancient relics.

“Ah, did you say artifacts… ?”

-okay! Even now, many alchemists are joining the Alterisha school, and even the ‘Golden Alchemist’ bow

Even Seokkoden is conducting joint research with Alterisha.

“ah… … ?”

Talc Corden?

That golden alchemist, really?

‘What’s this… …

It’s bigger than you think, it’s bigger.

-okay. you’re right No matter how revolutionary technology is, in the end, you will not be able to reject Adolevit.

It is the kingdom of Adolevit.

The world’s most powerful country, Adolevit

All. If you put your mind to it, it will be possible to shake the Alchemy Castle.

However… … It had to bear considerable noise both politically and diplomatically. Therefore, the present country wanted to find a compromise as quietly and as peacefully as possible.

maybe.

The Alchemist also knew that Adolevit would come out peacefully, so he would have done such a daring thing without hesitation.

Don’t touch them.

to show off its power.

In other words, the Atalec family is the politics of the Pension City.

It was only being used as a means to an end.

-You must bow down first, son. Even if you do not move, the Fatherland will soon resume trading with pension performance. However, there must be no Atalec name on that Silk Road.

Edman said nothing. I couldn’t say anything.

– Son. Let me ask you again. Are you involved in this case?

Edman Atalec still didn’t answer, and that was already enough.

My father was silent for a long time, and after leaving one last word, he hung up the phone.

– It’s your fault, so you’ll have to fix it somehow. I’ll have to talk to the Conflict Department.

drop!

belt. belt. belt… .

Hearing the beeps, Edman stared blankly at the receiver.

“No, sleep, what is this… … ”

Let’s organize our thoughts.

… … There was no need to tidy up.

Edman bit his lip and banged his forehead against the wall! stuck

‘Baekyu rumor… We must meet.’

In order for the Pension Ministry to withdraw that statement, I had to meet Baek Yu-seol and talk directly with him.

However.

So many things I’ve done to him up until now, I just couldn’t do it.

In the first place, the act of bending one’s pride to commoners for this kind of thing was not yet tolerated.

He looked back at Heungbiyeon with trembling eyes. Whether she knew the contents of the call or not, she was enjoying tea time in the same posture as before.

“..Biyeon-ah.”

“Yes, tell me. senior.”

Hong Bi-yeon responds with a slightly stiff expression. She, too, was slowly realizing that what was going on was something unusual.

Edman’s lips trembled, and he spoke the disgusting and hateful name.

“•••You will prepare a place for Baek Yu-seol

Read at noblemtl.com

Can you do it?”

Then, wondering what he was thinking, Hong Bi-yeon looked at his face silently for a long time without saying a word.

•••••••

After a while, Heungbi-yeon slowly nodded to see if her thoughts were organized.

“Yes. I will make a seat for you.”

A cafe located in Stella’s star tower. I don’t have many friends and study

It’s a place I don’t often come to because I don’t have a lot of work to do, but it was a good value for money cafe that students from ordinary people or non-wealthy families came to quite often.

The location was chosen by Hong Bi-yeon, and it seems that a fairly large number of students around Oh Soon-do are studying or chatting, so it seems to have been deliberately focused on attention.

It was only natural for students to draw attention to the fact that an unsuitable combination of me and Hong Bi-yeon occupied one table.

“Hey, they’re the Magic War Department kids.”

“It’s a first-year S class… …

“Are you Princess Hong Bi-yeon?”

“I know. What’s wrong with that commoner?”

Whether they were talking or not, Hong Bi-yeon was staring blankly out the window.

“coffee. Aren’t you going to do it?”

“… … I will order it.”

Perhaps any coffee or tea she brings will not suit her taste. But I know what kind of coffee Hong Bi-yeon likes.

I got up from my seat and headed to the counter.

After calling the waiter, I ordered coffee.

“With a glass of iced Americano… .”

“yes. And?”

“Give me a cup of esoproce, filtered in 30 seconds, to a French Atalvica roast with Tal Livica Rainforest High Mountain beans in a Demitase cup that has been rapidly preheated for about 5 seconds with the Crystal Magic Coffee Machine.”

“..yes’?”

“Can I say it again? With Crystal Magic Coffee Machine… …

“Oh no, wait a minute. say it again

I’m not asking… The order is too, that… …

“No?”

“That is, •••No. can.

The employee took a deep breath and shook his head. It is because the profit that could be obtained through that cumbersome process was so small.

I know I’m the truth, and I’m killing a useless dog, but what can I do? The princess likes that.

“Half a teaspoon of sugar.”

The employee was fiddling with the tool with a very varied expression.

After waiting for a while, the barista came out with an iced Americano and a cup of espresso with a poopy expression on his face.

Taking it back, she returned to the table and handed it to Hong Bi Yeon, who widened her eyes as if surprised.

The quality may be much lower than what I drank at the royal palace, but the coffee I liked came out, so it was worth it.

Read at noblemtl.com

Closing her eyes, she sips her coffee, seemingly satisfied.

The price of that coffee is only about 8,000 credits, but it seems like you are drinking a coffee worth 1 million credits because you drink it elegantly and elegantly.

‘Home, the time has come.’

pm, 13:29.

1 minute before the appointment time.

At just the right time, the door to the cafe opened and Edman Atalec entered.

“Are you here, sir?”

He looked 10 years older than he had seen before, and as soon as our eyes met, he had a serious look, but then he struggled to change his expression.

I couldn’t see the bread shuttle gang that I usually dragged every day.

Edman approached with a cautious gait and looked around. He didn’t seem to like a place with so many people, but since I chose this place, he has no choice but to follow.

“I ordered two Americanos and one espresso. Oh, more for reference

This is Chipei. Give me money now.”

“••••••What?”

“Aren’t you going to give it to me?”

I reached out and urged Edman to take out a 10,000-credit bill and handed it over.

What kind of bullshit is this. An Americano only costs 5,000 credits. benefited

He sat in the front seat, bowed his head for a while, not saying a word. I put a straw in the Americano and sucked it until it made a sound.

jjook-jjook- horororok-

The coffee ran out quickly, and I deliberately checked the watch on my wrist.

“Well. If you call, say it. I drank all the coffee, but I… …

“It was at that time.”

At that moment, apparently in a hurry, Edman parted his lips.

“… … I am sorry.”

The heir of the great Duke of Atalec, which boasts a thousand-year history, only apologized to the common people.

With this, the commoners had to be satisfied.

That’s how it should be. This in itself is too much, and we have to accept it.

•••Perhaps that’s why they think so, so maybe they’re just apologizing for something like that?

I said bluntly.

“Is that so?”

“••••••What?”

“Is that the end? I will return.”

“Come on, wait! What do you want from me!”

After screaming in a hurry, Edman looked around. All eyes are focused

has been

“Why are you asking me that?”

“You, you… … !”

Edman stuttered in embarrassment, then continued.

“I’m sorry! I sincerely apologize. He deeply regrets and reflects on his disregard for being a commoner. So, if you take back what I said before… Can’t you?”

murmur murmur.

The students started talking very little. The fact that Edman is harassing me in earnest is widespread in school

Since no one knew about it, the situation was very confusing.

In fact, you don’t even need to do this. If that’s the case normally.

I was not particularly the type of person who felt euphoric in this kind of forced cider situation, and I had already achieved my goal.

However, the reason for doing this is… This is to suppress the death flag of Hong Bi-yeon called Edman Atalmek as much as possible.

He’s not a very strong person, helplessly. Of course, the 4th class at 19 is really great, but Edman

The limit is just there.

Growth beyond that will be stagnant, and he will probably live as a politician rather than a wizard in the future.

In other words, the crisis resulting from Edman Ataltech was not a physical threat, but a political threat.

Therefore, I intend to deprive him of ‘political power’ little by little.

It is impossible to bring him down all at once, carrying the great family of Atalec on his back.

However, his value gradually declines and Hong Bi-yeon is unable to stand upright by herself.

The moment when the day to be here comes… … Edman will collapse completely alone.

My aim is just that.

I don’t have any powers, no backers. Just by nibbling on him little by little, helping Hong Bi-yeon swallow it.

That’s it.

“Then how about doing this?”

I took a piece of paper out of my pocket. It was ‘magic paper’, not ordinary paper.

Mystical paper that magically manifests in whatever you draw on it.

It sounds grandiose, but in fact, it is a common paper that can be bought at a local stationery store.

However, the contents written above may be slightly different in special cases.

“pledge… … ?”

As he read what I had written beforehand, Edman mumbled startled.

Yes.

it’s a pledge

Also, the ‘Oath of Magic’.

“Let’s bet with me. The sport is ‘Soul Chess’. If I lose here, I did

I will withdraw my words and deliver items to the Kingdom of Adolevit only through the Atalec family.”

“..r

Edman’s eyes widened at my words.

“But if I win… …

He came to his senses later, and read the back story.

“Give me the ‘fixed ticket’ of the Aslan seminar.”

“What, what… … ! You think it makes sense now… …

“Don’t hate it.”

“Come on, wait!”

Aslan Seminar.

A public discussion meeting where children of master magicians with a long tradition gather to have an academic group discussion.

It is a very bloody discussion forum where only the truly prestigious among the magicians can participate, and if they lack the ability, they may not be able to attend or be kicked out during the discussion.

There are three conditions for attending the Aslan Seminar.

‘Participating last year and presenting a great thesis, or getting recognition for the participation of future generations.’

‘With a thesis that can be presented in Aslan, the right to attend is transferred.’

‘Among the 12 rising stars of the year.’

The word ‘fixed attendance’ does not even exist in the first place. Attending last year and presenting a great thesis, continuing the act of securing the right to attend for future generations for decades seems like a fixed right of attendance.

In other words, families that attend each time continue to attend, and 12 new rising wizards attend each year, but most of them do not last a year.

There were many cases of resignation.

But is it easy to be among those 12 people? Nor is it

Even for just one year, it was a great honor to have participated in the Aslan Seminar anyway, so genius wizards from all over the world compete to attend the seminar.

It means that only 12 people are selected out of all races, including elves, beasts, angels, dwarves, and humans.

As such, genius wizards from all over the world continue to attend Aslan seminars as much as they want to participate and obtain qualifications.

Those who maintain it see themselves as a kind of ‘power’.

because.

If you can’t prove your magical ability at the Aslan Seminar, you will be kicked out immediately and will not be able to attend again.

The Dukes of Atalec had been attending Aslan seminars for several decades, and that was a huge factor in supporting their power… … I’m going to try it out.

of course.

It’s a transaction that doesn’t fit the bill at all.

No matter how much the item is, are you eligible to participate in the Aslan Seminar?

it doesn’t make sense

But there is one important point here.

“Soul Chess… Ha, that’s fun.”

Edman Atalec’s soul chess skills are already excellent enough that there is no one in the school who can compare them, and he is so outstanding that he even participated in world competitions.

that you have the skills.

Never, never mind your own defeat.

“… … great. I will sign the contract.”

Finally, Edman Atalec raised a finger, smiling confidently. If you draw your own blood and sign it, the oath of magic is fulfilled.

“You know what happens if I break my oath?”

“Of course you know. The moment you break the oath, you lose all mana. The same goes for you.”

“Absolutely.”

I said •••, but actually I don’t have mana, so breaking this doesn’t really change anything.

I didn’t even think about it though.
