The rumored child (1)- Added content
The first day of the academy.
I achieved all the goals I set.
Deep defense magic was re-imprinted, and the contents of the textbook lecture were perfectly understood. It was to the extent that lectures were possible without a script.
All of this is the power of [Magical Insight].
The first magic books were read as easily as traditional fairy tales. Most of the spells could be interpreted by simply pointing the eyes at them.
It was a truly deceptive performance.
To test the re-engraved Deep Defense Magic, I emptied the contents of the wooden pencil holder. and threw it over his head.
Booung-
The pencil holder that reached near the ceiling lost its power and fell down. It was slammed right into the top of my head.
I immediately launched a thin magic field using ‘magical intuition’.
The moment the rapidly falling pencil holder passed through the magic field, its shape disappeared and was disintegrated into powder.
– Squeaky
Fine wood powder that scatters like snowflakes. I brushed off the clothes that had accumulated on my head and shoulders.
「Piltrow Infuser」.
As one of the deep defense magics, it is a defense magic that disintegrates objects into powder. Unlike the barrier, it has a wide range of motion, so it is effective when a large number of people need to be protected.
However, it was written in the magic book.
“This is enough.”
I swept up the scattered wood powder with my salt copper.
True to its reputation, its defense magic was perfect.
In addition to 「Piltrow Infuser」, I was able to use numerous deep defense magics with ease.
The problem was attack magic.
I researched it intermittently for 9 days, but there was no progress at all.
Despite all the methods, at some point a clear limit was revealed.
“This is difficult…”
Even the best defensive magic could not overwhelm the opponent. You can’t just block it forever.
Until now, it has been peaceful, but in the future, incidents and accidents will continue to happen. The opening of the academy means that the black magicians are in full swing.
Even for my comfort and quest, attack magic was essential.
I opened the properties window.
◆ Unique characteristics
[Excellent Magical Quality][Magical Insight][Qualities of Archmage]
Enough magical talent.
The biggest stumbling block is the class attribute 「Attack magic dullness」······ Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to mind.
eye for an eye. In this. Characteristics in characteristics.
◆ Family Trait Shop
“The Master of Offensive Magic”
+ 10000 points
Wouldn’t it be normal if Dunjae and Beomjae were combined? If [Superior Magical Quality] and [Magical Insight] were added to it, it might be possible to use decent offensive magic. It’s just a hypothesis anyway.
More than anything, I also lacked points.
[ Possess points: 250 ]
Now that the academy has started, quests will become more frequent and the amount of compensation will increase. But even taking all of that into account, it was a huge amount that would take quite a while.
You can’t just wait until then. A minimum precaution had to be made.
I picked up the scruffy magic book at the end of the desk.
[ Basics and understanding of attack magic ]
An attack spellbook found while looking for textbook materials.
It’s not an old book, but it’s frayed and crumpled here and there. It’s probably the traces of Leonard’s studies before I became possessed.
I opened the page with the spell.
After that, the collected wood powder was placed on the palm of the hand. Let’s stare at them and draw a spell-
Whoa-!
Scattered wood powder swirled to form a circle. Its appearance resembles a fireball. It’s been easy so far. The problem was then.
“please······”
He reached out for the trash can.
The pile of wood powder that left my hand flew leisurely like a fly, then stopped in the air. It was a range of less than 1 meter.
I retrieved it with the salt and tried again. Failed this time too. I tried one more time, but the result was the same.
Leonard’s chronic problem.
I had to do something until casting, but it didn’t become a ‘throw’.
The basic attack magic “throw”
Basic skills among the basics that ordinary people who have not gone through the academy can learn in a week, and those with talent in a day.
However, it was an absurdly difficult spell for Leonard. In addition, incomprehensible side effects followed.
“Ugh…”
I grabbed my chest.
Every time I tried a “throw,” the left side of my chest felt as if it would tear. A burning pain.
After enduring the pain for a while, I mentally put the pile of wood powder into the trash can. Unlike “Throw”, it flew quickly.
Shuuk- empty-
I even thought about replacing the throw with a psychokinesis, but I shook my head.
It’s because Leonard’s “Throw” was so poor, there was a world of difference between casting the casted magic with “Pyrokinesis” and “Throw”.
If “Freak” is the level of throwing a tennis ball with your hand, “Throw” is the level of hitting it with a racket.
In the first place, its destructive power was different.
“·······”
I covered the magic book. The clock pointed to noon.
Since the textbook lecture was in progress, it was time to start slowly.
Just as I was about to get up, a blue light hovered around the crystal ball. Immediately, Frederick’s voice was heard.
-Professor Leonard. Are you seated?
“Yes, Master. This is the study.”
-I have something to say about Elia. Could you come to the academy right now?
There was an unknown ominous feeling in the solemn tone.
Elia’s problem…?
It’s not during the day, but at night, that Elia causes a commotion, and she hasn’t even met them yet. What kind of trouble did she cause?
I answered urgently.
“All right. right now-”
Then, for an instant, space was distorted.
The library split and a familiar interior entered, and when I woke up, I was sitting at a familiar table.
Frederick’s “Spacing”
I was facing Frederick.
“······I came right away.”
Last time they called me late at night, but this time they kidnapped me without my consent. As if he was familiar with this kind of abuse, Frederick immediately got to the point.
“Intelligence has arrived. There is an intelligence that black magicians are targeting Elia.”
“Is that true?”
It really was.
From the day Elia came out of ‘the house’, the black magicians started moving, and they will try to steal Elia using the black magicians who have infiltrated the academy from before.
I knew the whole story.
However, if I pretended to know, I could get misunderstood, so I immersed myself in the situation by acting as much as possible.
“Such a terrible thing…”
“So, I want Professor Leonard to escort Elia.”
“Are you talking about escort?”
“I’m not asking for protection. I want you to protect Elia without being noticed by the people around you.”
As I was listening to him in silence, I heard a clear notification sound in my ear.
belt ring-
[ 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 satisfied.
“The ransom for the best defense mage in the empire will not be enough, but I will make as many potions as you want. We will not skip the material reward either.”
Ever since he successfully captured Elia, Frederick seemed to have a lot of trust in me.
Frederick’s pupils were filled with strangeness.
“Can you do that?”
“I will.”
It was an offer with no reason to refuse.
Being able to receive Frederick’s potion is a ridiculous reward, but giving 500 points every time you protect Elia.
It was such a good condition for me who was in a hurry right now. What’s more, they know when and how the warlock’s attacks are going.
So you didn’t have to worry about it.
It was enough to show up at a critical moment and solve the case.
“During the sabbatical year, they also give lectures on textbooks, and to be able to listen to this kind of request. Thank you, Professor Leonard.”
“no. It’s a request from the president, and of course you have to do it.”
After saying that, I got up from my seat.
After pushing the chair he was sitting on, he silently bowed to Frederick.
“I’ll just go for it.”
“Does the lecture start soon?”
“That’s right.”
“Yes, there must be Elia in that lecture. I wish you well in many ways.”
＊＊＊
LOHAS Building 3rd floor.
R202 classroom.
The interior was no different from a typical university lecture hall.
There were special classrooms for practice at the academy, but since the textbook lectures were theoretical classes, it seemed that they were assigned ordinary classrooms.
80 students sitting in a large lecture hall. I looked at their faces from the pulpit.
“·······”
Elijah was nowhere to be seen.
Yesterday I entered the dormitory, and today I came to the academy for the first time, so it was obvious that I was lost somewhere.
Fully understandable reason for tardiness.
However, there is no such thing as preferential waiting for late students. The lecture began when the clock pointed to exactly one o’clock.
“I am Professor Leonard, who will teach the basics of first-year textbook and magic defense.”
After a brief introduction, I opened the textbook. It was then. The back door of the classroom opened loudly.
– Kiki Iik
The noise that broke the silence drew everyone’s attention to the back door. Elia was standing there. Embarrassed, Elia hung her head and hesitated.
“I… that’s it.”
“It’s not too late, so take a seat.”
He said that and looked away.
However, the other students’ eyes were still on Elia. That’s also true, Elia’s rumors spread even in the magic world.
The first commoner candidate to become an archmage.
A miracle born in Wisdow.
Elia’s rumors were, of course, a hot topic among many gossips. There were whispers here and there about the appearance of celebrities.
“Elia?”
“Are you Elia?”
“A kid who was born with the qualities of an archmage?”
On the other hand, there was a reaction that was simply amazing, while there was also a gaze that looked at Elia badly. Her talent was great enough to buy envy, and the label of being from a commoner made the fact even worse.
“It doesn’t look that great.”
“Is he a candidate for the Archmage? Isn’t that a rumor?”
“Who is the other one? Is he also from a commoner?”
“Did you not hear the news? The other one is-”
In the setting, the qualities of a great wizard are bestowed on two people.
They are discharged regardless of blood ties in a similar age group and regardless of justice orientation.
The legendary black magician Lucar Delos and the current president of the academy, Frederick Geoff.
Leonard and Karios.
And with Elia…
“To be puffed up on the subject of miscellaneous things.”
In the noisy classroom, the words of one student could be heard clearly.
The son of an aristocratic family who is jealous of Elia’s talent.
It was Dustin Christopher.
“Look Carefully.”
Dustin said to the big guy next to him.
Then, he set up a magic trap on the road where Elia would pass. A trap designed to make you fall ridiculously if you step on it unknowingly.
I nullified Dustin’s magic trap with the deep defense magic [Cancel]. Confirming that his trap was gone, Dustin looked around in amazement.
“What, what? What kind of child…”
Then he ordered the big guy in the seat next to him.
“hey. Walk your legs.”
“Yes?”
“Can’t you hear me? Cross your legs when he passes by.”
Dustin’s expression hardened as he forced himself to nod. Eventually, just before Elia passed by, he slightly stretched out his leg.
According to the calculation, he should have tripped on his hind legs, but
Booung-
Elia’s instep passed through. To be precise, it passed through the hunk’s hind legs.
As if through the air, there was no snag.
“…?”
The big guy groped his hind legs with startled eyes. I looked up and down and it looked fine. Dustin groaned – annoyed.
“what are you doing? because you’re walking Can’t you do that one right?”
“No, that was just…”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it.
Deep Defense Magic 「No Film」
It was a magic that made it possible to pass through the human body.
“Shut up. Because I don’t even want to hear it.”
Dustin, who crumpled his forehead, looked for a way to trick Elia.
A potted plant was caught in his busy pupils.
The empty seat next to the window Elia was facing.
A potted plant on the window sill.
It was the moment when Dustin tried to drop the flower pot with his psychokinesis, and I also tried to block it with magic.
Took-
Elia picked up the flower pot and set it down at her feet. I glanced at Dustin with emotionless eyes and sat down.
A sharp response as if he had read his mind. Dustin was dumbfounded.
“What is it… did you just see it?”
“Yes? what?”
I was also perplexed.
Elia’s ability, which was hidden in the “brainwashing curse” and should not be known to the world, was manifested.
Symptoms were progressing faster than expected.
And this will lead to a major incident that will happen this evening.
The first handshake in my novel.
“professor.”
Elia opened the textbook and raised her hand.
“I’m ready-“
“Elia.”
I adamantly stopped talking. Elia’s arm shrunk at the chilling cold voice.
“This is my lecture.”
“·······”
“Never get ahead. whatever it was.”
Saying that, I looked at Dustin. The guy was smiling like he was ugly.
“Dustin.”
“yes? Me, me?”
“You are so arrogant and selfish that you dare to engage in such shallow tricks in my lectures. Is this a habit I learned at the Royal Academy?”
A voice filled with cool magic power pressed the interior of the lecture hall.
As he felt more weight than before, Dustin changed his posture and sat up straight. There was no more buzzing noise.
“that is······”
“I’m a freshman and today is my first lecture, so I’ll just skip this one time.”
“·······”
“But, if you do something like this again, then you will have to be prepared.”
“······I’m sorry.”
Dustin, who was very stiff, lowered his eyes slowly. I looked away and told all the students in the classroom.
“You guys also take note. This is the Imperial Academy. Lowering the standard is not tolerated .”
