Last drama (3)
As if I had lost my hearing, I couldn’t hear anything.
Only Karios’ words echoed.
– I’m a lover… I’m a lover… I’m a lover…
There was no setting that Leonard and Narsha were lovers. As far as I remember, I didn’t even write a conversation scene between the two.
I’m sure it was, but the writer didn’t even think about it, who the hell is dating at will.
– I’m a lover… I’m a lover… I’m a lover…
It was confusing.
There was a story in my novel that I didn’t know.
Why?
Why is there a story that the author does not know?
······Probably because it happened before the novel started.
「Eternal Wizard World」 begins with the engagement ceremony between Karios and Jeniel.
Unless it was in the SF genre, there was no going back to the past, and since novels write stories about the future, there was no need to deal with the background.
“Once upon a time, a great empire where wizards lived…”
I just wrote about this.
But the history of the empire is 800 years.
It was not only contained in the novel, but in the world of the novel, 800 years passed steadily.
The five letters “Once upon a time” created a great history. However, there was no specific setting by the artist, so it was made on its own.
So are the characters.
Even when the author did not use them in the novel, they lived a day in the novel in their own way.
Leonard in the past would have been like that too.
They studied according to their values and also dated.
And that, of course, with Narsha.
In this way, I know the future of the novel, but I do not know the past.
I didn’t know how or when I met Narsha, I didn’t know when or how we broke up, and I didn’t know if I was dating another named character.
First, he had to find out his relationship with Narsha.
In the first place, it was a different magic class, and the kingdom academy was different.
The only link between the two is the Imperial Academy.
That means they broke up relatively recently…
When I was immersed in deep thoughts
“Leonard.”
someone called me
Like throwing a stone into a calm lake, a heavy bass sound that disturbs the quiet inner world.
“Leonard, Leonard.”
It was Karios’ voice.
Soon after, I woke up from my thoughts.
“Did you get sick somewhere?”
A cafe where everyone is friendly.
I was sitting alone with a bewildered face.
I came to my senses and tried to smile.
“It was a joke.”
“To attract.”
Karios smiled shyly.
Then he leaned towards me.
“By the way, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask you.”
“What?”
“It’s what happened at the engagement ceremony. How did you know he was a warlock? There were many high-ranking wizards there, but no one noticed.”
It was a question about the suicide bomber, Gestaf.
Since I dealt with him and left the mansion right away, I can’t help but wonder.
I put on a serious face on purpose. I caught the mood before talking about the main topic.
“that is.”
Of course, I couldn’t tell the truth. But it was a coincidence, so I couldn’t turn around.
In the future, I will exterminate the warlocks, but if I continue to know the secrets that no one else knows, I might raise impure suspicions.
If it’s severe, it will come under the emperor’s suspicion.
Doubts about the “precognition” he despises most.
Then it would be difficult in many ways, so I had to lay the groundwork from now on.
I paused moderately and looked at Karios.
“Personally, I’m chasing warlocks.”
“Warlocks?”
Carios asked with surprised eyes. Even the assistants who had been listening quietly shuddered.
I spoke resolutely.
“okay. It is a must for the peace of the empire. The guy who infiltrated your engagement ceremony was Gestaf Syaron. After relentless pursuit, I was able to deal with it.”
“Leonard… you bastard.”
Carios seemed quite impressed.
“Is that why you disappeared lately? Did you announce your absence from the engagement ceremony?”
“I can see that.”
Lies came out easily, as if I had bought a “false statement”.
At this rate, it seemed that Karios’ liver could be taken out as well. But how to get caught if the tail is long.
It should have ended at this point.
“I don’t think there’s anything else to consider, can I just go?”
“Are you going already? Jeniel will be coming in a little while, so let’s go eat at least for the first time in a while.”
“Jeniel…?”
I unintentionally called out in a faint tone.
The name to avoid most in 「Eternal Wizard World」.
In a way, he was more dangerous than Lucaradelos. Even armed with [restraint], he is still a tough opponent.
I hurriedly put on my hood.
“I want to, but I have a prior arrangement.”
I hurriedly left in case I ran into Jeniel.
＊＊＊
Through this sub-quest, I learned two things.
That Leonard and Narsha were lovers.
And, that I can’t interpret the magic formula.
I couldn’t solve Karios’ week 1 assignment.
It wasn’t a very complicated technique, but it was impossible to access, let alone interpret.
The “magical insight” I believed in was useless.
“Is it because I don’t have this?”
Talent Attribute Shop
「Spell Analysis」
+ 1500 points
Leonard’s traits did not have “analysis of magic”.
However, there was a “magical insight” that was extremely compatible with “spell analysis”.
Unique Attribute Shop
「Magical Insight」
+ 3,000,000 points
The price was also 2000 times more expensive.
Ordinary characters cannot even possess [unique characteristics]
It didn’t make sense that Leonard, who had three precious talents, couldn’t interpret just one spell.
Moreover, it will be open in a little while.
I had to give lectures in front of dozens or even hundreds of students, and it was obvious that I would be publicly humiliated at this rate.
No matter how thoroughly the script is prepared, there will be limits to deceiving students.
Even so, I couldn’t buy 「Spell Interpretation」.
It was a waste of points, and it was not known if I could collect 1500 points before the start of the semester.
Is there any better way? When I was worried
“······Perhaps?”
A question popped into my mind.
I opened the properties window.
◆Class Characteristics
[Master of defense magic] [Dunjae of attack magic]
Karios is a professor dedicated to offensive magic.
In other words, his assignment must have been a technique related to offensive magic.
On the other hand, Leonard was close to ignorance of offensive magic. setting for balance.
As if he had been cursed, he had no talent. To the extent that there is an [Attack magic dullness] in the class attribute.
So it’s not that he couldn’t interpret the spells, it might just be that he couldn’t interpret the attack magic spells.
I went straight to the study.
I pulled out a magic book from the bookshelf and opened it, and the page that was turning quickly stopped at the chapter with the spell. A much more complicated spell than Karios’s task.
[Defense Class: Piltrow Infuser]
However, the interpretation was over in an instant.
I just looked at it, but I figured out which type of magic it was. I checked other spells just in case, but they were all interpreted quickly.
As expected, it was because of the [attack magic’s bluntness].
Leonard is a professor dedicated to defensive magic.
Since I didn’t have to deal with offensive magic, it wasn’t a big problem right away. It was impossible to remain ignorant forever.
Talk tok-
I sat down at my desk and tapped the crystal ball. It was to find a teaching assistant to discuss the lecture.

It wasn’t long before I found two assistants. Among them, I contacted an assistant named Francis.
[ Francis-assistant ]
Classical music that you would hear in the bathroom stopped after about 3 seconds.
Soon after, Francis’ voice was heard.
– Yes Professor, this is Francis.
“I contacted you to prepare for the lecture.”
– Go, preparing for the lecture?
Francis asked in a puzzled tone.
-Which lecture are you talking about…?
I’m curious too.
If I were a professor, I would of course give lectures, but I don’t know which subject I should teach.
Instead of talking nonsense, he responded with silence.
“·······”
-Are you talking about the freshman textbook?
“Yeah that.”
– There is no material to prepare for the lecture because the curriculum follows the same curriculum every year.
Again, the boss’s silence was effective.
Information poured in.
– I know that the professor has related materials as well.
“Any other lectures?”
– Another lecture? This year is the professor’s sabbatical year.
Academy professor’s sabbatical.
This meant that I could take an entire year off.
-And… I’ve suggested it to the academy, but since there are no substitute professors, they say that you have to take lectures even during the sabbatical year. I’m so sorry, Professor.
“I can’t help it. Good job.”
With that said, the connection was terminated.
One lecture to prepare for.
The curriculum is the same every year, and we have materials, so there will be no difficulty in preparing lectures.
First of all, I had to find ‘materials related to school writing’ that Leonard had. The problem is that there are too many books in the library.
Just by looking at it, there are over 4,000 books.
Besides, there was no guarantee that the material was in the library.
Are you a high school student with no promises?
“·······”
In this case, you have to search from the narrow area.
Why? I searched for a wide area first, but it gets annoying when found in a narrow area.
I looked over the desk. Of course not. Then I opened the drawer. wasn’t here either.
In the end, I had to search the bookshelves. That place where books are piled high at the height of my height.
“Something to come has come…”
······
Fortunately, I found it right away.
It seemed to take less than 3 hours.
There was no problem except that both eyes were bloodshot and a little sensitive.

Textbook of about 500 pages.
Compared to other magic books, it was thin.
Even if you make up your mind and swing it, you won’t be able to commit murder… Stop it.
“after······”
Before analyzing the textbook, I calmed down by catching my breath. It calmed my sensitivity.
I calmly read the ‘textbook’ and ‘related materials’.
“None.”
Unfortunately, there was no transcript of the lecture.
In a word, it means that it is impossible to eat it raw. I had to choose one of the two, either making a script myself after studying to some extent or having the knowledge to give lectures without a script.
If this happened, it would be better to lecture without a script.
I put the materials to one side and put the magic books I had picked out in advance. They were magic books related to defense magic that he found while rummaging through the bookshelves.
Numerous magics were imprinted in Leonard’s mind.
To use them, you must at least be aware of what kind of magic it is. [Barrier] and [Inflammation] were very basic magics, so I used them often, but other deep defense magics couldn’t be used at once.
Therefore, it was necessary to reimprint the deep defense magic that would be useful.
Because I can’t use only barriers forever.
It wasn’t imprinting new magic, it was the process of reconfirming the already imprinted magic, so it wouldn’t take long.
Cheolreuk-!
I confidently opened the magic book.
There are 9 days left until the start of the semester.
finish everything before that.
＊＊＊
The morning before the opening day.
Elia fell asleep exhausted from crying and opened her eyes. It was so swollen that I could only open half of it.
“Ugh…”
I’ve been feeling strange lately.
I didn’t want to do anything, I didn’t feel anything special, and I didn’t even know why I had to live. Now I want to do anything. I no longer want to live under oppression.
So I cried endlessly.
Until something entangled in your chest is resolved.
“I feel relieved.”
The results weren’t too bad. I thought something big would happen, but instead, I wanted to do more.
I wanted to learn academics, make friends, and travel to new places.
It was the first time I was motivated.
‘still······’
I’m not completely free yet.
Even if the head forgot, the body remembered.
When I heard a loud noise, I was startled, and when I didn’t do my usual errands, I felt uneasy.
especially in the morning.
“Should I go get it?”
Elia got up from her seat and roughly cleaned up the mucus. I put on my coat and came out.
Ki-Ik-
An old door that opens loudly.
As always, morning milk was placed at the door.
When I habitually packed milk, I found a leg behind it.
A familiar scene.
A promise that comes to mind.
‘no way?’
When I looked up, there was a beautiful woman standing there. Her robes were engraved with the emblems of the Imperial Academy.
“Elia Agnes?”
“By the way…?”
“My name is Uriel. I came from the Imperial Academy.”
“ah!····”
I was blinking because of the inner turmoil.
A professor who knows everything about himself.
He is one of the most handsome men in the empire, and a famous person famous for his defense magic.
Leonard Adonis.
As he said, the day after his birthday, someone from the Imperial Academy came to visit. Uriel asked.
“What about your luggage?”
Elia shook her head.
I didn’t have time to pack because I cried all night.
“Are you ready?”
This time he nodded.
Now that I am overflowing with motivation, I felt like I could do anything.
“then Let’s go.”
Urrael turned and pointed to the side of the road. A luxurious sedan was parked there.
After putting down the milk, Elia followed Urrael, who was ahead of her.
Step by step.
The farther I got from home, the more strange I felt.
I came out of a prison that I thought I would never be able to escape from, and I wouldn’t be abused anymore, but strangely, I wasn’t entirely happy.
It’s a complicated and subtle emotion that doesn’t miss or sad. However, Elia did not stop walking.
It was time to go out into the world.
“Oh and.”
Yoo Rael stopped walking and handed over the paper box he was holding in his right hand. Inside was a whipped cream cake.
“Professor Leonard prepared it. Happy birthday.”
“yes······?”
Elia stared blankly at the cake. I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even say thank you.
The first birthday cake I ever received. A gift to commemorate the first day in the world.
I could feel the warmth even without turning on the candles.
“I will depart. Fasten your seat belt.”
Elia, who boarded the sedan, wrapped her cake tightly in her arms.
I didn’t let it go all the way to the academy in case it got messy .
