I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 104

104. Owen Baltani

Owen Baltani had no idea about the huge amount of debt he was carrying.

Day by day, holding the funeral of his deceased grandfather and pouring out his heartache through music.

It was the rough moneylenders who brought the boy who lived through the time of melody and tragedy, art and wail back to reality.

Being an artist is a hungry job.

Claren, where many such artists were gathered, was a place worthy of being called a bonanza for moneylenders.

In addition, it was easy to expand the business by pouring drugs, gambling, alcohol, and smoking cigarettes in the name of inspiration.

A perfect environment for backworld bullies to become gangsters. This was the dark side of Claren, the city of artists.

anyway.

Owen, who was in the middle of loneliness, first learned that his grandfather was in debt when he saw the papers the moneylenders had brought.

Seeing that his grandfather’s autograph was written on it, along with a really huge debt, Owen was in shock as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.

In the end, it was Owen who could do nothing but play the piano in the midst of struggling debt.

He was somehow earning money from street performances made by City Hall.

Wow!

The moneylenders didn’t wait for that.

“You don’t have to pay interest!”

On the way to the rooftop of Purcheni, where he had to play today, Owen was caught by moneylenders and was dragged into an alley and beaten.

“Gagging!”

The face is red and swollen. The boy, who had nothing to do with violence, rolled on the floor with tears in his eyes at the bully’s punch.

It was only in an instant that the pianist’s world, which had just been determined to play hard, turned into resentment and tragedy.

“Hey, look at this! Your grandfather owed us? Are you willing to pay it back or not?”

A loan shark who continues kicking right away while waving debt documents.

While the foul-mouthed man who appears to be the leader of the action beats him for a long time, a man with glasses standing behind him smoking a cigarette stops him.

Owen’s crouched body trembles as he is beaten so hard that he can hardly breathe.

A short break felt like a handful of mercy.

“Little boy, do you think you can pay off your debt by working all day like this?”

“… … .”

“Aren’t they only doing concerts given by City Hall? What is widespread in Claren is the musicians. I can’t even pay the interest because I’m working for mere pennies.”

Whoa.

Tobacco smoke exhaled deeply. Owen’s mind is blurred by the smoke that pleasantly wraps his nose.

“Let me tell you something good. If you do that, the debt will be settled quickly. You too will be able to touch the money you will live on.”

“ah… … .”

What are you talking about?

Does this person want something different from me?

Owen was embarrassed, but the moneylender held out his hand with an uncharacteristically benevolent smile.

“Catch it. Then a new world will open up to you. After earning money, play the music you want again and that’s it.”

Actually, it didn’t matter to Owen. Because I just wanted to get out of this situation.

“Ahh.”

He held out his trembling, blood-stained hand.

Wow!

The foul-mouthed man standing behind him flies past Owen.

bang!

The man, who was rolling on the floor in an unsightly posture, seemed to have already passed out.

“What is it, one room?”

Her white hair was tied in a ponytail, but her hair was sticking out as if she wasn’t used to it.

A comfortable shirt and black pants.

In addition to that, bloody eyes as if staring at prey.

The man who had been smoking was able to immediately notice that the woman who suddenly appeared was not an ordinary bet.

“Findenai, go get the documents.”

And a black-haired man appeared behind him. Slightly long black hair that reached down to the corners of the eyes.

Neat clothes, along with an aesthetic appearance suitable for the city of artists, suggest that he is an aristocrat.

Approaching the moneylender with an ugly, sloppy mouth, Finden-Ai snatches the debt documents he was holding from earlier.

The moneylender, who was holding tobacco in his mouth, chewed the tip carefully and spat out the tobacco.

“What are you doing?”

Since he is an aristocrat, he appears low-key, but if the moneylender makes a mistake, he is ready to overturn the game and rush at him.

However, Deius frowns upon checking the papers brought by Finden-Ai, ignoring the man who was smoking cigarettes.

“Is it manipulation?”

“… … !”

The moneylender’s eyes trembled. The eyes, like those of wild dogs that were about to rush at you, droop in an instant.

“I only took the signature from another document, and manipulated the document with magic.”

There are often scammers like this. Therefore, it was necessary to double-triple the documents and have them checked by experts.

Even if you ask the city hall, they lend you a magic tool that confirms the authenticity of the document for free.

There was no way Owen, who was still 16 and had only played the piano, could have known that.

“If anything, you can go check it out with an expert right now.”

His cool eyes made the loan shark feel his heart shrink. Even though summer was in full swing, the chills shook my body.

“Oh, no. that is… … .”

It was an instant to become E from G. He tried to make an excuse somehow.

“Finden child.”

When I called his name indifferently, Finden-Ai rushed forward like a wolf with a leash loose.

Bahah!

Her knee breaks the moneylender’s face with a full blow.

Nosebleeds everywhere and broken teeth.

It didn’t end there, and Finden-Ei snatched the hair with one hand and immediately threw it into the alley with force.

Falling on top of another loan shark who had fainted, the two let out a painful scream together.

Owen reaches out again.

Unlike the seductive proposal of the moneylender earlier, he was extremely hard and blunt.

“egg plant.”

A meaningless belief had arisen in his heart, so Owen grabbed Deus’ hand.

* * *

After bringing Owen to his lodgings, giving him a room to wash up, and ordering food from the restaurant on the first floor.

I sat at the table for a while and was lost in thought.

[Looks like he wants something from Owen.]

“Yeah, that’s right.”

The moneylenders suggested that the little boy follow them.

It even made a fake debt document that was stubborn.

If you look at it like this, you might want to do something like that, but I needed to think on the contrary.

I wanted to have Owen even that much.

“They, too, noticed that Owen had a special ability.”

[I guess so. But I wonder why you are asking for it.]

It seems like the ability to only comfort the monsters, but I haven’t been able to definitively conclude yet.

Even he doesn’t know much about his abilities yet.

Just in time, Owen approaches, wiping off his hair with a towel as if he had washed up. Illuania, who had been preparing in advance, sat him down on a chair and started applying medicine to his wounds.

The hostess’s food exudes a savory smell and is abundantly served on the table.

“Eat first.”

Owen made a tearful expression at Illuania’s warm smile and started putting food into his mouth.

As if he had not been able to eat proper food for a while because of his debt, the skinny boy puts food into his mouth.

After watching the scene from a distance, the Dark Spirit and I returned to the conversation.

“The attitude of the loan shark was also intrusive. Before it became known that it was a false document, he was going to attack me if he found it annoying.”

[Is there something to believe in that?]

“Perhaps.”

It was the sound of a back stomach.

It doesn’t end with a simple loan shark, it means that someone in the dark wants Owen’s ability.

“I’m curious.”

There is also a question about black magic, but because Owen’s ability has deepened his interest.

“Can not help it.”

I take out the jewel wrapped in cloth from my bosom. An object that already presents an ominous feeling that makes the screams of the souls flow just by appearing.

[Are you going to wake me up?]

The boy’s grandfather had already closed his eyes and went to rest.

Strange events surrounding the boy are unfolding.

“If you ask me directly, you will find out.”

I was thinking of asking Owen’s grandfather directly about the secret he slept with.

* * *

“So you failed?”

The office of loan shark Volfras.

All the thugs were all up, with their heads down, terrified.

The woman in the center was wearing a robe that was completely out of place for the office.

“yes yes! sorry!”

The voice of Volfras, the owner of the office, trembles. It felt like my dry tongue was getting more and more twisted.

If you are a little intrusive, she will eat you right away.

Since it was Bolfras who had already seen that scene many times, I couldn’t help but be more nervous.

“So, did you bring those who were beaten up?”

“yes! I brought him from jail for fraud with bail and a bribe right away!”

“That was good.”

The woman puts the bread she was holding in her hand into her mouth and chews on it.

The gangsters felt frightened by the appearance and hurriedly brought the two main culprits of the day.

The faces of the two people kneeling in the office were very serious.

One’s face was completely smashed and swollen, and the other had both arms broken.

It was the work of a fan, Artistically conscious of being a city of artists.

The two trembled and immediately stamped their foreheads on the office floor. The two of them shouted as they wet the floor with tears and blood.

“I am so sorry!”

“It was because all of a sudden strange guys appeared! If you give me one more chance, I will definitely bring you!”

“Damn it.”

The woman jumps up from her soft chair and stretches out her hand right away.

The hand soon became a huge mouth resembling the shape of a beast, and the hideous teeth pierced and ate the two in an instant.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Save! save me… … !”

Wood, wood, wood.

It didn’t take long for the wailing screams to turn into flesh-and-bone chewing.

The gangsters couldn’t raise their heads even though they gulped down their saliva, so they only looked at the dripping blood soaking the floor.

“It’s not that old man, why is it so difficult to ask him to bring his grandson… … .”

Annoyed and grumbling, the woman’s eyes flashed. Then he puts on a puzzled expression.

“Ha, is that why?”

The woman who ate them all suddenly giggles, grabs her stomach, and laughs. After laughing for a while, I muttered, wiping my eyes with my hand, as if tears were stinging.

“Ayyyyyyyyyyyy, they’re the ones who told me this interesting thing, but I killed them for no reason.”

The gangsters didn’t understand what the hell she was talking about.

The woman sits back on the sofa and crosses her legs.

“The memorial spirit was here.”

Is there such a thing as a coincidence?

After Dante’s mysterious magician was killed by a girl named Aria Rias, he came to Claren, where youkai are lined up, to replenish his power.

He met Deius Verdi, whose whereabouts were unknown.

“Quit, cu cu.”

The woman licks her lips with her tongue and smiles contentedly.

It feels like a luxurious dinner has been served right in front of you.

The woman licked her lips, feeling that she was going to salivate.
