I Became an Adulterous Character in the Academy chapter 3

Master of defensive magic (2)

Wow… so pretty?

I was helplessly taken aback by the hooked beauty.

As I stood there blankly, Jeniel took off the hood in a mental state. Her vision opened and her face became clearer. It was beautiful.

“That’s right Leonard. You said you couldn’t come because you were sick?”

I can’t come because I’m sick.

Leonard’s absence from the engagement ceremony was due to jealousy, and being sick was just an excuse.

Still, I can’t tell you the truth.

“To surprise you…”

I barely answered.

It was difficult to utter a word because of his beating heart.

This is also Leonard’s contagion.

However, the feelings I felt in the kitchen were distinctly different.

It is not a momentary desire, but the true heart that comes from the depths of the heart. A corner of my heart tickles, my mind goes far away, and I feel even a glimpse of ecstasy.

It was a completely incomprehensible feeling.

I, who is as indifferent as a rock, the will that I firmly resolved, scatters into fine sand.

Falling in love like this wouldn’t be bad either… Damn it.

slap-!

I was slapped on the cheek. Pain awakened reality. Jeniel was taken aback by the sudden self-harm.

“It’s a surprise! Is it okay…? If you are sick, you should have rested at home.”

“Carios.”

“Karios? it’s in the garden ah! Also, Adele and Esther came after a long time.”

Leonard, Karios, Jeniel, Esther, etc.

All of them are classmates at the Royal Academy.

Elementary, middle, and high school of magic, and after that, you enter the Imperial Academy, a university course.

As Leonard and Karios graduated early, they naturally drifted apart.

“Let’s go there. I just want to go back and see your face.”

“Are you feeling unwell?”

Jeniel asked with a worried face. It was insanely pretty.

“·······”

I nodded.

After that, he put on his hood and followed Jeniel.

A garden where old-fashioned performances and nobles’ chatter are harmonized. Because the scale was considerable, Jeniel wandered for a while.

“It was about here…”

Then, the man at the table raised his hand.

“Jeniel! here it is Well Adele-”

A handsome man with a sharp impression.

It was Karios Cedric.

Karios, who found me, jumped up from his seat. I leaned over and checked the inside of the hood.

“Leonard…?”

A master of offensive magic, and a cold-blooded slaughter of demons.

On the other hand, the idiot who couldn’t judge Leonard until the end.

Even at this moment, I’m just laughing like an idiot.

As if meeting a long-lost relative, Karios couldn’t contain his joy.

“I thought you would come. How is your body? I heard that the recovery potion doesn’t work either?”

There was love at the end of every word.

Sorry for that pure heart, I lowered my gaze.

After all, it wasn’t my fault, but I couldn’t look him in the eye.

“It’s a little tough. I want to go soon.”

“okay. Don’t overdo it and be comfortable. If you need a recovery potion, tell me.”

Karios, who patted my back, sat down. Jeniel and I were seated at the same table.

“Keep talking, Karios. What did Adele do?”

“Well, this guy-”

“Karios! Because it’s a secret.”

The ‘royal academy alumni’ who gathered after a long time solved the old reunion.

I’m glad there’s an excuse to be sick.

If it wasn’t for that, I would have had to go along with the memories I didn’t even know.

“·······”

I passed the time browsing the specialty shops.

I could have left immediately, but I didn’t. I felt guilty about Karios, and I liked the harmonious atmosphere here.

“Shouldn’t you have sworn an oath if it was a serious secret, Adele?”

“You’re going to come out like that, right? Alright, I’ll tell you one of your secrets.”

“Wait, that’s-“

“How are you? I didn’t even make a promise.”

In the meantime, I overheard a conversation at the back table. It was especially noisy, probably drunk with wine. However, it seemed that only I could hear it because everyone was focused on their own conversation.

“To think there are 6 wizards with the qualities of a great wizard is a truly blessed era.”

“That’s right. Considering their age, Sir Karios and Sir Leonard are likely. What do you think, Baron Gier?”

A great wizard who had been vacant for 80 years.

Frederic Geoff rose to the rank of archmage, but voluntarily resigned after the birth of Leonard and Karios.

Originally, he had no intention of becoming a great wizard, and since a competent genius was born, he said that he would focus on nurturing talent.

Carios and Leonard.

Two nobles possessing the “quality of a great mage.” Among the archmage candidates, the most influential people.

Among them, the one who has the upper hand…

“Speaking only hurts my mouth. Surely not Lord Carios? It’s not for nothing that the saying ‘offense is the best defense’.”

It was an accurate guess.

In the middle of the novel, Carios rises to the position of archmage.

“Attack is the best defense.”

Philosophy that penetrates the worldview.

The reason why Leonard couldn’t rise to the rank of archmage despite his superior magical talent.

It was because of the magic series.

“Attack” “Defense” “Healing” “Pharmacy”

Among the 4 lines, only the attack line produced the great wizard.

“You can tell just by looking at the Imperial Academy. Why was Lord Carios given the position of Head Professor? Is Leonard the assistant professor?”

“But isn’t Leonard’s magical talent called the greatest of all time?”

“Even if it were, it would not be able to break through the limitations of the defense system. Besides, Leonard has a stark limitation in the attack line, so-”

Like Me X and Ronal X in modern soccer, an endless battle for supremacy unfolded. It wasn’t just this place. Affiliation controversy was a hot topic everywhere.

In any case, it is always the [attack type] that rises to the position of the archmage.

It was like an immutable truth.

“·······”

I listened silently to their conversation.

The more the debate heated up, the more ridiculed the weak series, that is, the “defensive series”. Leonard’s name was also mentioned in that insulting joke, but I kept my seat regardless.

Because I created all these settings myself.

“·······”

Quite a bit of time has passed.

I had to go home now.

Just as I was getting ready to wake up, I saw a young man in a tuxedo in the distance.

Pale skin and blurry pupils. His tall height and skinny body reminded him of a vampire.

Is it because of Leonard’s “magical insight”? Or is it because of the ‘writer’s intuition’?

I felt an ominous aura from him.

realized at the same time.

that he is a black magician.

Gestaf Syarun.

A villain who appears in the first episode of the novel.

According to the comments, one of the most impressive characters.

Gestav was insignificant in terms of ability alone. It was just a black magician’s henchman. Still, there is only one reason why he is remembered.

because of its ability to self-destruct.

“·······”

I stared at Gestaf with sharp eyes.

He was walking to the platform in the middle of the garden.

When Gestaf stands on the podium, his self-destruct ability will be manifested, and his entire body will be shattered.

Power is not that strong.

A level where no one is physically harmed.

Instead, pieces of flesh and blood splatter in all directions, and organs of all kinds are scattered.

White tables will be stained with blood, nobles will be covered with filth, and a friendly engagement ceremony will turn into a living hell in an instant.

The climax of the novel’s introduction.

It is a device to announce the beginning of war, and a directing that shows the brutality of darkness.

At the same time, a foreshadowing of the relationship between Karios and Jeniel.

All of them, ‘Gestaf’, were heading towards the podium.

“·······”

Before leaving the house, I made a promise.

He said he would never get involved in an incident in which Leonard did not appear in the original work.

However, he changed his mind.

I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what caused it.

However, with this action, he tries to repay his guilt towards Karios and his disrespect for attending the engagement ceremony empty-handed.

Please, I hope for a happy ending this time.

“I’ll just go.”

When I got up from my seat, my classmates asked.

“Are you going already?”

“I heard that Edelia is almost there too? Go see your face.”

“right. I will be sad.”

His voice was filled with regret, but he firmly turned his back.

Gestaf, who had reached the center of the garden before he knew it, had one foot on the platform. I reached out my hand toward the guy who was about to raise his half foot.

magical intuition.

As I drew an image with my imagination, a spell came into my mind. Mana consumption that is instinctively sensed. At the same time, he twisted his wrist while maintaining a high degree of concentration.

An opaque membrane then enveloped Gestaf.

The basic “barrier” of defensive magic.

A type of magic barrier, defensive magic that blocks external attacks.

Conversely, attacks from the inside cannot escape to the outside.

The strength was different depending on the caster, and this body was Leonard Adonis, the best defensive wizard in the empire.

“Caught.”

It was often used in the original work, but ‘Leonard’s Barrier’ was different from that of other wizards.

It was because of its unique characteristic, “excellent magical quality.”

The noblest magical power in the world.

If the magical power of a high-ranking wizard is a net, Leonard’s magical power is like a dense net.

That’s why Leonard’s barrier is also used to imprison opponents.

like right now

“What is that?”

“Barrier…?”

The guests who discovered the barrier looked at Me and Gestaf alternately.

I was whispering here and there in an unexpected situation. But this too is only a moment.

Poo-!

With a dull explosion, the barrier was stained red.

The man trapped inside was shattered, bones and organs adhered to the surface, and bodily fluids pooled at the bottom of the barrier.

A silence that seems to deny reality.

“·······”

“·······”

“·······”

Soon after, there was amazement everywhere.

“Kyaaah!”

“Oh, it exploded.”

“Oh My God! What is this now?”

Some foolish wizards mistook me for killing Gestaf.

It’s only because I’m wearing a hood.

“That bastard, grab that bastard right now!”

The young people around them spurned their seats and got up.

For a moment, that bold spirit.

uhhh-

Black smoke rose from Gestaf’s flesh. This proves that Gestav is a black magician.

“Graphite…?”

The moment the inside of the barrier was covered with black smoke, someone said so.

The young people who got up sat down one by one.

The weak wife trembled, and the parents hid the child behind their backs. The proud old wizard threatened a nearby attendant.

“What are you doing? Don’t call the Immortal Knights right away!”

“Are you talking about the Immortal Knights? That is… how dare I…”

“Can’t you hear me? Right now, the Immortal Knights and the Imperial Family Guard-”

“No need to make a fuss.”

I kept my cool and tightened my grip.

Strong magic power began to compress the barrier.

Kwaduk- Kwajijik-!

A talent that ignores the ‘laws of magic’.

A phenomenon beyond common sense made the wizards speechless.

The barrier that had covered the adult man had compressed itself to the size of an apple.

Appearance like a black crystal ball.

The compressed barrier floated up and landed on my palm.

It was the moment when everyone’s eyes were focused.

“·······”

Silence flowing through the garden.

The melody of the orchestra has stopped, and everyone watches with bated breath.

“There are no more warlocks. It’s safe here, so you can rest assured.”

“You this guy… what’s his true identity…?”

Even the nasty old wizard seemed quite perplexed.

I then took off the hood.

“…Sir Leonard?”

Leonard Adonis.

When an unexpected guest showed up, the garden was agitated.

In particular, the group of barons sitting at the back table were startled. It was a frightened face, as if he had seen a tiger.

“Le, Sir Leonard…”

“Since when have you been there? I heard you’re sick, but…”

“That’s what we…”

Those who were talking about the next great wizard.

The things that had been ridiculing the “defensive” until just now had no energy in front of Leonard.

I put a compressed barrier on their table.

“’Attack is the best defense’ I agree. But, the best, not the best.”

“·······”

“Keep in mind. This is the best defense.”

A figure that does not lose its “dignity” even in the face of the opponent’s disrespect.

The terrified barons trembled their lips, but I leisurely left the garden.

With this, the introduction of the novel came to an end safely .
