MT(1)
The next day, the sun rose in the middle of the academy.
I headed to my personal office.
There were no lectures, but he personally went to work at the academy to borrow magic books from the library. We plan to come out often in the future.
[H702. Deputy Professor Leonard]
A luxurious sign hanging next to an antique door. This is Leonard’s private office. I came here once yesterday and it wasn’t that strange to me.
As I opened the door and tried to enter, I found a letter stuck between the cracks in the door.
“…?”
[ – Letter from the heart – ]
Eh, witchcraft?
why did this come to me what did i do wrong
Could it be that the misunderstanding that was not resolved yesterday became public opinion?
I opened the letter with trembling hands. The contents were as follows.
“Dear Professor Leonard.
Hello professor. My name is Elia in Year 1. I want to apologize once again for what happened yesterday…”
A handwritten letter.
There was an apology for the riot and an explanation that Narsha’s misunderstanding had been resolved.
I felt the sincerity in each letter, and he left a cute proof that he himself came and went.
“·······”
A long strand of hair was caught in the crack of the door. Considering Elia’s height, it was near the top of her head.
I still needed Elia’s hair, so thank you for bringing it to me.
– Tick!
I retrieved my hair and put it in my inside pocket. It was then.
“Professor Leonard…?”
A tired man approached, tilting his head. I wondered where I’d seen it, and it was Karios’ assistant whom I met at a cafe.
“It’s your sabbatical year, so why did you come to the office…?”
“I have something to study. Why are you in the faculty building?”
“Ah, I’m here to meet Professor Karios.”
The teaching assistant pointed with both hands to the sign in the next room.
[H701. Chief Professor Karios]
At about the same time, the office door opened. Carios, who strode out, found me belatedly.
“You’re here, Jayton. thank you every time uh···? Leonard? Why are you in the office when there are no lectures…?”
It was a similar reaction to the teaching assistant.
The original Leonard didn’t seem to come to the academy on days when there were no lectures.
Well, his name is “Salacious”, but he couldn’t come to the dull office often.
“I have something to study.”
“As expected, hard work was hidden behind talent. He deserves to be an idol for everyone.”
Karios gave a thumbs up. I wasn’t being sarcastic, I meant it from the bottom of my heart.
“Ah, I was just about to attend the faculty meeting. How is it? Won’t you come with me?”
“meeting?”
“Even though it’s the sabbatical year, I think it’s right to go because I’m conducting lectures.”
Imperial Academy faculty meeting.
Unless there is a special reason, most professors attend. In short, it was a good opportunity to learn the faces of the professors. You will get useful information as a bonus.
In many ways, it seemed good to follow. Magic research can be done after the meeting.
I nodded lightly.
“I can’t help it.”
＊＊＊
Spacious conference room.
About 80 professors are seated at a conference table equivalent to that. It was a fairly quiet atmosphere.
Tick. Tick. Tick. Deeng-!
When everyone was seated and the hands pointed to 2:00, Frederick announced the start in earnest.
-We will start the 214th Academy regular meeting.
A voice filled with magic resonated in the meeting room. The solemn voice added to the tension.
-There is something to be announced prior to the meeting.
Blue magic power bloomed in the middle of the table. Shining like a hologram, it soon turned into a scroll of a message.
– His Majesty the Emperor is visiting the academy. He visits the royal academies first and then the imperial academy last.
The sudden news stirred the hall. Most of them responded positively.
“That His Majesty is coming.”
“Heh heh, how many years have you been here?”
“I’ll have to pay some attention to the beautification department.”
But I wasn’t He stared at the message with a hard face.
emperor’s march.
This is obviously because of Elia’s “foresight”.
He probably couldn’t have accurately detected Elia’s foreknowledge signal, and the afterglow made the emperor’s heavy steps move.
Since Elia’s [Foresight] has not fully bloomed, even the emperor will only fill an empty can for a while.
Because prophets cannot see each other’s future.
After a short notice, the meeting got to the point.
Reorganization of the talent selection process, research results of the Magic Tower, cooperation issues with the cathedral, suggestions for dormitories, etc.
The settings I wrote in detail and the settings I wrote roughly came out randomly.
In the meantime, a completely unknown setting popped up.
-The next point.
The blue magic that bloomed in the center of the table took the shape of a person. Details soon emerged.
The massive body, the tattoos sticking out from under the short sleeves, the threatening look and thick beard, and even the sashimi in the hand.
The guy who gave off the scent of a strong villain was a character that was not in my conception. He wouldn’t be an ordinary villain enough to be mentioned at the faculty meeting.
I whispered to Karios.
“Who is it?”
“Hmm····”
Karios’ eyes narrowed. Even the spleen lingered between his furrowed brows.
“The face looks familiar…but I think I saw it on the most wanted list. My attention is-“
-This month’s outstanding faculty member is Chef Cassius. Cassius, who has been with us for 10 years, is always fresh…”
“I’ll try 27 lines.”
He returned his head, which had tilted towards Karios. How is that bastard the main character? There was no setting that he fell from the persimmon tree.
Karios wanted to bring ‘luck’ to my heart, but I silently focused on the meeting.
We have come to the final agenda.
-There is a freshman MT in 4 days. The venue has been set at ‘Elarua’, and three professors will be assigned in case of an emergency.
Frederick summoned the three professors who had been consulted beforehand.
– Professor Julia. Professor Harrington. Professor Carios.
It was like the original.
The main character, Karios, is a freshman MT who is assigned as a professor. An MT episode with two ‘candidates for the archmage’ in which Elia also participates. Naturally, incidents happen. The first raid by the black magicians to capture Elia begins.
An accident in which five students would lose their lives due to an attack using demonic beasts.
-However, because of Elia, who entered as a special talent student this time, we need one more dedicated professor.
Dedicated professor for early admissions students.
Elia, a minor, needed a dedicated professor to protect and guide her when she went outside the academy. In the original work, an extra professor follows as a dedicated professor.
– I will accept support or recommendation in this position.
But as long as I’m possessed, the extra professor can’t follow me.
It was because there was a quest related to Elia.
[ Main Quest – Frederick’s Request (2) ]
Classification: Non-essential
Clear Condition: Protect Elia from the Warlock.
Reward: 500 points
Status: Incomplete
※) Rewards are given whenever the conditions are met.
Warlock-related quests that have not yet been completed.
Furthermore, since there is a ‘reward for defeating monsters’ in the characteristic system, I had to attend the MT because I was in a hurry to earn points.
– Let’s all talk comfortably.
I tried to be the first to apply, but someone hit the ball. It was a middle-aged professor sitting across from me.
“President.”
– You speak.
The right to speak has passed. Was that middle-aged professor the extra professor? I do not know. He didn’t even describe his appearance, so there was no way to know.
If it was first-come-first-served basis, if a middle-aged professor was selected, the point would be as good as skipping water. I closed my eyes tightly.
please please······
“I think a dedicated professor should be good at defensive magic.”
······uh?
The female professor sitting next to him helped. It was a refined yet lofty tone.
“I also agree. Additionally, it would be nice to have a professor who has ties to Elia, President.”
······Uh, huh?
Finally, the old wizard sitting in the corner drove a wedge.
“It would be perfect if it was a professor from the same early admissions.”
-If you are a professor who is good at defensive magic, has a relationship with Elia, and was an early entrant…
Frederick looked at me, stretching his tail. At the same time, all the professors turned their heads in my direction.
chuck-!!
silence for a while.
A sense of unspoken pressure weighed down on me.
– You can decide comfortably. Professor Leonard.
“···I’ll do it.”
-okay. Are there any other applicants?
“·······”
-If there isn’t, I’ll decide that Elia’s exclusive professor will be Professor Leonard.
bang. bang. bang.
Frederick tapped the gavel.
I was selected as the exclusive professor for Elia.
The professors around him applauded, and Karios was particularly happy.
“As expected, he deserves to be an idol for everyone.”
But why?
I didn’t feel very good. I wanted to do it a while ago, but suddenly I didn’t want to do it.
Why do you feel like you’re losing money?
······After a few hours
“The potion will be finished by tomorrow afternoon.”
“All right. I’ll just go.”
I left the president’s office. I didn’t go after it. Frederick first asked for a conversation about the professor in charge of Elia, and received several instructions.
Some of them were paradoxical.
-Protect Elia, but do not get involved in MT activities as much as possible.
-Even if it is past 10:00 p.m., you should increase your activity time judiciously.
Whether to protect the child or not.
It was absurd, but at the same time it made sense.
Frederick was also an early entrant.
Now, there are six candidates for the position of archmage, but when Frederick was young, the position of archmage had been vacant for decades. Moreover, since Lucaradelos was born among warlocks, he was practically a single candidate.
For that reason, he attended the academy with excessive protection. Even when he ate, listened to lectures, or even went to the bathroom, two or three dedicated professors always followed him.
Four generations of the royal family treated like readers.
Treating yourself and those around you must have been painful.
The pain she had gone through, Elia didn’t want to go through. Perhaps Karios and Leonardo would have been comfortable attending the academy.
He was a nobleman who couldn’t be hated, although he sometimes behaved with power.
Especially from my point of view, who is supplied with the potion.
“It took a day.”
The potion he requested this time was a potion that was difficult to manufacture. If Frederick takes one day, other apothecary mages take at least 10 days.
I also had a lot to prepare for.
Offensive magic “Throw” and defensive magic “Expedium”.
It may not be possible to see the effect within 4 days, but I plan to try as much as I can.
I headed straight to the office. It’s overtime until MT.
······Meanwhile.
Narsha, who had been researching “healing” until late at night today, came out of the mage tower with hasty steps.
Wake up – study – work and sleep.
The mage tower researcher life that has been repeated for almost two years.
Narsha, who had to suffer from research all day long, did not like anything like this.
Why does it seem like my personality is getting more sensitive… but what about it? Originally, I was a sucker too.
Narsha, who was trudging home, stopped near the front door. And then I looked somewhere.
“·······”
The place where I met Leonard yesterday.
Trash who always had a subtle something with the students before, during, and even after we broke up.
Then, make sure to ring the other person once.
A pervert who is satisfied with pushing and pushing while being sure that he likes him, confusing the other person with disgusting pretense, and showing tears. An asshole who raises his self-esteem with such things.
Even though we weren’t dating, it was disgusting to hear that shit every time. So I dropped the ojilap without answering.
But you’re wrong
-why are you crying. tell your sister
-That’s… There was something the professor warned me not to do, and I was angry because I broke it. It’s something you pointed out openly during lecture.
– He said he was mad? Uh, come to think of it, you look familiar? What is your name?
-yes···? Oh, my name is Elia.
I knew then. That the girl is Elia.
Why did you leave the female student alone, but he doesn’t touch minors?
Still, it doesn’t change that it’s trash.
Narsha moved again. I felt bad for nothing at the thought of Leonard.
＊＊＊
The freshman MT everyone has been waiting for.
As if responding to his heart, not a single cloud was visible in the sky. The warm sunlight and cool spring breeze settled down on the wide fields of Elalua.
Originally, there were only a few trees, but numerous stalls were established.
The ‘Empire Freshman Festival’ hosted by the student council and local small business owners.
It was held to provide a fun festival for students and an opportunity to generate profits for small business owners, and overconsumption occurred here and there to suit the purpose.
“OMG! There is also Tanghulu.”
“Crazy, you must eat that!”
“Is the person who lost the darts buying ice cream?”
“call. There is no need to use wizards.”
An imperial freshman festival full of laughter and energy.
I sat down a little further away and opened the book. It was a magic book related to Expedium.
charleuk-
The king of defense magic, Expedium.
A magic that can separate ‘space’ and move it to ‘another space’. It was similar to 「Spacing」, but the target was different.
「Spacing」 moves ‘people’ to another space, while 「Expedium」 moves ‘space’ to another space.
A magic that can only be manifested by five people in the empire. Among them, Leonard was the only magician who succeeded in imprinting.
However, effective expression was not possible because it was less than one year. The consumption of mana was extreme, and the space that could be moved was extremely limited.
A situation that requires continuous research. But soon after, an intruder appeared.
“Leonard.”
Karios, who had been trudging along, sat down next to me. His sharp face was full of displeasure.
“To come all the way here and read the magic book, even though the weather is this nice.”
“·······”
“Leonard. Looking at you recently, it seems that you have completely changed into a different person. He only promotes academics, his personality seems to have hardened, and he doesn’t accept jokes.”
have you changed? It has no choice but to be. Only the traits are contagious, not Leonard’s personality.
Lee Jin-wook’s blunt personality was applied as it was, so it was okay to say it was someone else. Another person who only removed the sexual elements of Leonard.
I said while reading the magic book.
“Are you bored?”
“Pretty.”
Carios vehemently agreed.
Professor Harrington and Julia are in their mid to late fifties. It was difficult for me to become friends with my parents. Rather, the age gap with the students was small, but it was still early in the semester, so it was awkward with the freshmen.
When I was selected as a dedicated professor, there was a reason I particularly liked it.
“It is not a festival that comes every day.”
“·······”
“But you can read the magic book anytime.”
“·······”
“Our friendship is barely-”
widely-
I covered the magic book.
I thought it would be better to go to the festival quickly and then study again, rather than constantly being interrupted.
“Only one hour.”
“As expected, Leonard. there is only you let’s go.”
We followed Karios to the place where the festival was in full swing.
In addition to food, the festival featured a variety of entertainment including mini vikings, air trampolines, and balloon popping.
Most of them were so popular that there was a line. Except for one.
[ Try your luck! ]
Student Council event booth.
It was decorated beautifully in its own way, but it did not come into the eyes of students who were preoccupied with food.
Cool booths and student council executives hanging out.
Carios pointed to the event booth, as if that bothered him.
“Shall I hear from there first?”
“Sure.”
As we approached, the slack executives jumped to their feet.
“Hello, Professor!”
“hello!”
“okay. What booth are you doing here?”
Carios asked with his hands behind his back. The student council president, Selina, kindly explained.
“This is an event booth where you can play a simple drawing game. If you choose the product you want, the penalty will be set accordingly.”
Selina pointed to the pachinko machine on the left.
“For example, if you pick the top two prizes, the top two penalties are automatically included. One out of four is randomly selected, and the product is displayed on the right.”
“It will be fun. Where should I look?”
Karios looked at the product with an interesting look. Then I was startled. The place where the gaze stopped was a puzzle.
“A Laonix puzzle?”
“That’s right. This is a product that the student council has been hard-earned for this event.”
Lyonix puzzle.
It is a top-notch puzzle produced by ‘Bandoil’, and it was the hottest item in the empire because of its extreme difficulty and rarity. It was difficult to find for sale even second-hand. By the way, there is a Laonix puzzle in the ‘special product’.
A product everyone will love. Carios chose the special product without hesitation. Other options were also added to reduce the severity of the penalty.
[ Lucky Pachinko ]
Special product- 1 pc / Special penalty- 1 pc
Slanderous Goods – 4 / Slander Penalties – 4
Worst Product – 2 / Worst Penalty – 2
“Can I pull this?”
“yes! you’re right.”
Then he pulled the handle. A loud sound echoed and the screen rotated rapidly.
Tiriririri- Ding-!!
[ Lowest product: wrist brace ]
Contrary to expectations, I failed to pull out the Laonix puzzle. Karios licked his lips with regret.
“Adela…”
“It’s a pity, Professor Karios. Would Professor Leonard do it too?”
“good night.”
I chose my options without hesitation. No other options were added, only the Special – Laonix puzzle was added.
[ Lucky Pachinko ]
Special product- 1 pc / Special penalty- 1 pc
Selina’s eyes widened as she confirmed my options.
“Professor, if you do this, you have a 50% chance of getting a special penalty?”
“Does not matter.”
I really needed the Laonix puzzle.
With that puzzle, Karios would be able to soothe his boredom, and he would be able to concentrate on his magic research without any hindrance.
The odds are 50/50.
If it’s a penalty, is there anything special?
At least it’s face painting.
I pulled the handle without hesitation.
Tiririririring-!
A rectangular screen that rotates wildly.
Blue prizes and red penalties passed by quickly.
gulp-
Ahead of the extreme results, a strange tension flowed in the booth. All eyes turned to the pachinko machine.
Is it a Raonix puzzle or a special penalty?
Magic research or compulsory festival participation.
The die has already been cast.
Life is all or nothing.
Ding-!!
[ Special penalty: 2-hour right to work ]
Oh shit too.
