My crystal ball partner (2)
Leonard’s H702 office.
I was polishing my attack magic.
Francis’s quiz game moved forward a week.
Since interpreting the spells was more important than manifesting attack magic here, I was reading books borrowed from the library and studying interpretation.
But suddenly a knock was heard.
-smart
The current time is 10:05 PM.
Who came to the office at this late hour?
There’s no way he’s an assistant… it’s probably Karios from the next room.
I covered the book and stored it in a drawer. As if he was practicing defensive magic, he put on a magic field and discharged his magic.
After that, he opened the door with 「Yeomdong」.
It was a ploy to expel Karios under the pretext of magic training, but it was an unexpected person who entered the office.
A voice that was half shy and half annoyed.
“hey······”
Shortly after, the gray bobbed hair was revealed.
“Are you inside?”
It was Narsha de Lutetia. Pretending to manifest magic, I, holding the form, froze as it was. I looked at Narsha with a dumbfounded face.
Why are you out there…?
“·······”
“·······”
An awkward silence surrounds the office.
Narsha spoke after a while.
“What were you doing?”
At the same time, blue light emitted from the crystal ball. Because it is connected to the crystal sphere close to the user, the communication reached the office rather than the study of the mansion.
Around 10:00 p.m., it was the time zone where Luna and I were doing that.
no way······
– no more
just as expected.
Luna’s voice leaked out.
A high degree of concentration was displayed for an instant, and time slowed down. As if in slow motion, Luna’s voice stretched.
– I’m sure it’s true, uh uh yo yo yo
So far, there has been no misunderstanding.
The situation had to be sorted out before it got out of hand.
Crystal ball, let’s smash that damn crystal ball.
I immediately activated the barrier and shattered the crystal ball in an instant.
Kwajik-!
With the cool breaking sound, time returned to normal.
Surprised by the sudden power show, Narsha blinked and asked.
“Why…?”
“… Bar, I was practicing defensive magic.”
“Ah… somehow.”
Narsha nodded her head in agreement. Thousands of luck went unnoticed. In a moment like this, it was the first time that Luna contacted me first.
I quickly asked Narsha.
“But what happened?”
“uh? Ah… that’s it…”
Narsha, who averted my eyes, stretched out her words. Her cheeks turned red as if she was embarrassed to speak.
“I will go now.”
“yes?”
“Are you deaf? I’m leaving now, so follow me.”
Narsha lost her temper.
As always, shyness gave way to irritation. The concept of Narsha that I elaborated.
That look was cute today, so I prepared to go out without saying anything.
My outfit today is a sloppy suit.
I was forced to wear a suit because I was attending the Ministry of Magic trial in the afternoon. A model fit that would appear in a Western magazine. Putting on the jacket, Narsha said.
“Are you done?”
“yes. Let’s go.”
I closed the door to the office and came out of the Hectare Hall.
The Imperial Academy, as secluded as the bleak night sky.
As the people disappeared, grass insects cried, and the cool night air contained the subtle scent of spring flowers.
At the end of the day, on the calmly settled campus, I could feel even the slightest passion.
A moonlit night under a street lamp.
I walked along that lonely road side by side with Narsha.
It wasn’t tailing, it was accompanying, but I didn’t hear the word to leave.
It was just walking in silence.
“·······”
As we approached the front door, Narsha spoke first. The head is still staring straight ahead.
“Is it popular? Lately, everyone at the academy has been talking about you.”
“It’s because of the Templar case.”
“I heard it was a trial today, how did it go?”
“I was sentenced to 11 years in prison.”
“ah······”
The conversation ended with a short sigh.
The sound of grass insects, which had not been heard for a while, filled the silence between the two.
“·······”
Narsha glanced at me. When our eyes met, I averted my gaze.
“why?”
“·····You seem to be buying hard these days.”
“Somehow it happened that way.”
“What are you doing? The one who didn’t make any effort.”
“·······”
It wasn’t a question I could answer, so I replaced it with a light smile.
A cool night breeze blew across the street, where the conversation was cut off again.
wheeeing-
Unlike sunny days, the weather is somewhat chilly at night. Narsha trembled with her arms wrapped around her body.
“eww······”
It was quite cold even for me, who has a lot of heat.
As soon as I tried to button up my jacket, Narsha waved her hand.
“It’s okay, wear it yourself.”
“…?”
“Don’t make a fuss. Because it’s not that cold-“
When she looked at me, I had already fastened a couple of buttons.
I figured out the situation belatedly.
“Ah… Shall I take it off…?”
“·······”
Narsha’s face turned red again. He pursed his lips as if he was embarrassed by the misunderstanding, and immediately became irritated.
“No thanks? I refused in advance because I was afraid you would do something stupid.”
“Yeah, yes.”
“hey. And why are you walking side by side? I think I forgot, but this is a tailing service. Walk ten meters away.”
Narsha rolled her eyes and strode forward. He huffed and scurried to himself, and then turned around and became annoyed again.
“ah! Why aren’t you coming?”
“I’ll go.”
I followed her with a smile.
······
After taking Narsha, I entered the study. I sat down at my desk and tapped the crystal ball.
Tok tok-!
A catastrophe that almost happened in the office. Even thinking about it again made me dizzy. From now on, I had to use a number to prevent Luna from contacting me first.
“Hmm······”
I tapped Luna’s name on the crystal ball.
Because I seemed to know roughly how to control these types of perverts.
Soon, Luna’s voice came out.
-what? I waited a long time, really.
“Luna. I have something to say.”
-yes? What is it? And why don’t you use honorifics?
“I will not use honorifics from now on. Also you should only respond when I call. You must absolutely obey my orders.”
-I’m sorry… Where is such a thing?
“I want us to try something new.”
gulp-
A strange sound of swallowing saliva leaked from the crystal ball. Luna also seemed to have a sense of it.
“Master-servant relationship. You are my slave-”
-Good… Master.
She immediately agreed. It was an impatient voice, as if he wanted this kind of relationship.
An extreme sense of shame came over me, but I succeeded in controlling Luna. The problem is that I have to lead this dirty relationship from now on.
“Luna.”
-Yes, my master.
“… let’s start.”
To me, who doesn’t like this kind of thing at all, tonight is just painful.

next day.
At the end of lunchtime, I headed to the library. Because this time is the most quiet. When I opened the glass door, a librarian wearing black horn-rimmed glasses greeted me.
“Hello, Professor Leonard. Did you eat?”
“yes. What about the librarian?”
“I am still. There are a lot of students, so we have to wait for the replacement to come.”
The librarian pointed to the inside of the library.
As she said, there were quite a few students in the reading room. It was the midterm season soon, so everyone was engrossed in their studies.
“You won’t be hungry.”
“no. I eat breakfast late so I can survive. haha.”
“That’s fortunate. Enough then.”
After a brief consolation, I entered the library. Instead of the usual ‘Defense Magic’ column, she went to the ‘Offensive Magic’ column.
A beginner’s spell analysis that was mastered in about two days of hard work. Starting today, I plan to practice intermediate spells.
[A-Attack Magic Book Column]
I stumbled across the bookshelves that were taller than my height and searched for the ‘Intermediate Attack Magic’ book.
A-191… A-192… A-193
and A-194. I finally found it.
‘Collection of Intermediate Attack Techniques’ inserted in the lower left corner. Since there are so many books, it took quite a while to find them.
fits-
It was then that I lowered my posture and picked up a book.
In the library, where only the scribbling of pens could be heard, voices began to leak out.
“Professor Leonard.”
The beginning was small, but
“where?”
“Oh really.”
“Hey, Professor Leonard is over there.”
“really? where?”
I started whispering more and more
“Hey, if there’s a problem you don’t know about, ask quickly.”
“I don’t even listen to the professor’s lectures?” “How is it? It’s a deep defense class problem.”
The quiet library became cluttered in an instant. However, all the students were talking in unison, so no one was harmed because of me.
As I slipped through the cracks in the bookshelf, a female student with straight blue hair approached me.
“I… Hello Professor. My name is Rachel in Year 3. The class is the defense class.”
“Okay, nice to meet you, Rachel.”
“It is not different, but there is a problem that is blocking. I was wondering if you could help me solve it.”
Rachel shyly held out the test paper with the spell written on it. As Rachel asked as the representative, several students were hanging around.
I readily agreed.
“i get it. Come closer, too.”
“Ah, thank you Professor.”
“Thank you very much.”
Jjororok- The students who came running surrounded me. I lay the exam paper horizontally for all to see.
[Defense Major – Advanced Defense Magic Application]
● Please explain why the above formula is incorrect. (10 points)
Even at first glance, complicated spells were written.
The strokes were more messy than necessary, and it wasn’t even the right technique.
A 10-point descriptive question.
But it was a piece of cake for me.
As I poured my magic power, like the hologram technology of the future, the reason why the spell was wrong and how to complete the correct spell appeared before my eyes. I just recited it.
“It is a mixture of Barrier and Wisdom Blow spells. The ratio is about 2 to 8. If you change the 4 vertical strokes at the bottom to oblique lines and reduce the circle in the middle, it will be the correct technique.”
“ah·····”
“Wow······”
The students, including Rachel, simply admired it.
What they had been thinking about for 3 hours, they solved it in less than 3 seconds, so it has to be that way.
The students bowed their heads and returned to their seats. Immediately, another student approached.
“Hello professor. My name is Kyle, a sophomore. If you don’t mind, could you help me with this too?”
“Wait a moment.”
I looked in the direction of the librarian. With a warm smile on her face, she nodded her head as if it were okay. It seemed that the other students also had something to ask.
“okay. give it to me.”
“yes! Here you go. thank you.”
To be honest, it was annoying, but helping only one person was against fairness.
Solving the students’ problems also helped me in my study of formula interpretation.
I said looking at the test paper.
“If you have any questions, come out now. I will not take it after this.”
Then all the students in the library rushed out and lined up.
The line was so long that it scurried out of the library entrance.
······This wasn’t in the plan, damn it.
If this is the case, it will be resolved quickly.
“It’s not just the magic formula, it’s a mixed problem with the series itself. In terms of overall form, it is close to healing magic, but it is a detailed technique inside. In particular, if you look at the strokes intertwined with diagonal lines inside the inner circle, you can see that it is medicine. Therefore, this technique is a medicine-type technique. next.”
＊＊＊
After lunch in the staff cafeteria, Francis headed straight to the common workroom.
The horse was shared, but until next week it was like a monopoly. This is because there were no events to be noted other than “Francis’ Quiz Game”.
To enjoy the slaughter at that time, to enjoy the terrified faces, the ‘blueprint’ had to be completed within today. That is, there was no time for idleness.
Francis hastened his steps.
As I hurried down the stairs, I saw a long line outside the library on the third floor. All of them were students, and they had test papers in their hands.
‘Idiots, why do you even stand in line to study? I have to look around to come to my senses.’
It was at that time that Francis, who had received arsenic, was about to descend the stairs. A student’s words caught him by the ankle.
“Wow Professor Leonard is really great.”
······Leonard?
“Genius, genius. How do you solve that with mental arithmetic?”
······Genius?
“I want to be like that too. He’s a complete fraud.”
.
Francis’ brow furrowed. The excitement of the quiz game was ruined.
Leonard Adonis.
He was the third person Francis disliked, and the first when it comes to unluckiness.
A bastard whose innate talent is everything.
Even though they are from the same defense class, they are the only ones who receive special treatment.
The more you think about it, the more it sucks.
The feeling of inferiority was intense, and my stomach was boiling.
Someone is just a low-level faculty member who worked so hard, but why is it that he is already a professor at such a young age?
······Why are you the only one doing well?
Francis went inside the library. In the distance, at the end of the line, Leonard was standing. He was receiving praise from the students as he solved the exam papers.
“Fuck…”
Francis murmured quietly. Kwadeuk- I bit my teeth and delusional.
How nice it would be if I could paint that face.
If only I could embarrass myself where everyone pays attention.
In the meantime, a good idea came to my mind. Francis hurried to the office, grabbed a piece of paper, and lined up behind the students.
An evil smile spread across his face.
“Hehehe…”
It is not an ordinary piece of paper, but a special magic book in which spells can be expressed.
The spell written on it was also special.
It was a kind of summoning-type magic circle, and it was designed so that filth would come out the moment it was completed.
A great opportunity to put a disgrace on Leonard’s face in a place where everyone pays attention.
‘Summoning-Filth’ is a very minor area that Francis also trains as a hobby, so even Leonard would not be able to see through it.
Only the completion of the ritual can be judged.
“All five options are wrong. I think you’d better ask the publisher. next.”
The line quickly shortened, and before I knew it, it was Francis’ turn. Francis politely held out the special magic book.
“professor. This is a piece of paper found in the office waste bin. I’m really curious about what kind of magic it is, but I can’t manifest it with my own abilities. Can’t you manifest it instead of me?”
“·······”
Leonard looked at Francis with cold eyes.
Have you ever been caught?
For a while, Leonard stared at the special magic book.
“What kind of spell is this?”
“I don’t know either. It’s because it’s a magical book of unknown origin.”
“I don’t know either, but I can tell you why the spell was wrong. Just add one stroke at the top and you’re done.”
“how? Please complete it yourself.”
When Francis begged him desperately, Leonard raised his hand in opposition.
If I add just one stroke with that hand, if I activate the spell in that state, the filth will pop out as planned.
I could put shit on that handsome face.
Now, now is the golden opportunity.
All students are watching.
Hurry up… Hurry up!
At that time, a bright smile appeared on Francis’ face.
widely-!
Leonard snapped his fingers. Then, a spell appeared in front of Francis.
That, too, is an incomplete spell.
“ah······”
Francis stared blankly at the ceremony.
To manifest an incomplete spell.
Is this ‘magical’ possible?
no it was impossible
An unfinished spell is a structure that inevitably leaks mana, so it couldn’t be manifested inevitably.
But, obviously, that’s normal.
What is the magic formula in front of me right now?
Could it be that you saw through the magic formula you saw for the first time at once? Minor magic without a thesis?
It was hard to believe at all, but there was no explanation other than that.
He had a perfect understanding of the spell.
What kind of action will be expressed and what kind of effect will be expressed.
Whether Francis paid attention or not, Leonard carried out his mission.
He raised his index finger and condensed his mana.
“here”
He drew a stroke on the empty magic formula.
“like this.”
At the same time, the spell was activated and a handful of filth was launched, covering Francis’ face.
-Food good! Tok・・・・・・ Tok・・・・・
The filth that flows uncleanly.
When I barely opened my eyes, I saw Leonard’s still cynical face.
“It was like this.”
“·······”
“I didn’t know. Then why did you pick up what was in the waste bin?”
After saying that, Leonard left the library. All that was left was the dirty herself and the students in the library.
“Ugh- it’s dirty.”
“What is that person asking for?”
“I don’t know, he must be a pervert.”
“It’s like a star, really.”
Amid a barrage of jeers and arsenic, the librarian shouted.
“Staff Francis! What is this doing in the Sacred Library?”
“I’m sorry.”
Francis ran to the bathroom in a gasp.
The shame and humiliation that had been aimed at Leonard was entirely his own .
