Chapter 115
“hmm?”
Mana’s sense of incongruity.
I frowned and clicked my tongue as I understood the sensation.
“They’re messing around!”
The dagger that the assailant sprinkled and threw.
I felt a faint sense of mana pulsating from the dagger.
glow
A device similar to the commonly used flashbang.
“Seeing the liver while deliberately hiding… … Is it for this?”
As much as I was careful not to miss the sight, the sudden explosion of a flashbang felt fatally painful.
It was the moment when the bursting light swallowed the whole surroundings, including me.
The signs are getting closer.
After gaining confidence that the eyes, ears, and senses were disturbed, the assailant narrowed the distance in earnest.
“What nonsense!”
“… … !”
However, the guy who was rapidly approaching hurriedly changes direction.
What fell was a lump of black flame that aimed directly at the attacker’s head.
“It’s dangerous.”
“It doesn’t get caught either.”
I pretended to be caught in a flash grenade and waited for them to approach and tried to counterattack, but they were also caught quickly.
“What are you going to do, Mr. Attacker? The same opportunity will never come.”
As if listening to and responding to my murmur, a change comes to his behavioral pattern.
He probably thought that it would be difficult to achieve his goal if he dragged it on for a long time.
I faintly feel the intent to kill.
“Are they attacking?”
how? Do you throw daggers? Or are you trying to fight with swordsmanship in earnest?
Either way, I had thought of preparing in advance.
The assailant pretends to grab something from his waist and swings it.
“… … on that street?”
A distance that the sword cannot reach. However, with a sharp sound, a clear blow is aimed at my neck.
I muttered as I watched Emily cut it off and froze in the air for a moment.
“whip… … . You write weird things.”
Among the melee weapons that can be used by the Aura class system, it is one of the most difficult weapons for those who use it.
“But it is no sharper than a sword. Don’t worry. That’s enough to hit me.”
“Don’t be offended! back!”
“oh?”
Hit it once and it won’t be the end.
When the assailant moved his arm, the tip of the whip that bounced off showed a strange movement.
Like a live snake, it made movements that would be incomprehensible by simply swinging it.
The whip hit the dagger stuck in the floor.
Of course, what I’m aiming for is me.
This time it was avoided by activating the shadow move.
“… … Your weapon proficiency is not normal.”
In addition, the dagger that was hit with the whip was faintly mixed with an aura.
It is an impossible skill with some talent.
“It’s not like you can’t figure out who you really are, is it? Hey, aren’t you showing too much talent?”
“… … .”
Opponent has no answer.
“it’s okay. Then treat me like this.”
It gets annoying if you drag it too long.
I was convinced that it would be dangerous if I showed my skills in earnest, much less in the dark.
then.
“You have to turn the plate over.”
It seems to be fighting after examining the ability of this side to some extent.
“You won’t know this.”
Bing Heilang’s Bracelet
《Activates the effect of the item.》
《Active skill is manifested.》
Bracelet’s active skill.
Powerful wide-area magic attack limited to once a day.
“Tell me, but avoid it. If you don’t want to die, that is.”
The opponent also felt a sense of crisis, and their movements stopped for an instant.
Slowly head up and shrug your shoulders.
it was noticed
When the bracelet shines, something appears in the night sky as if responding to it.
A huge black wolf.
Masterpiece of the black magician Sijo.
Bing Heukrang.
That huge wolf appeared in the sky and glared at the ground.
“Shoot.”
Let me flick my finger down.
As if responding to the command, the wolf opens its mouth and shoots out cold air.
“The Cold of Death.”
A black blizzard falls toward the ground.
Freezes and stops anything within range.
A further drop is a shockwave that will crush it.
aaang!
With a roar, everything within a range of hundreds of meters around me, the only one not specified in the range, freezes and shatters.
“Didn’t you intend to capture them alive? You won’t even have bones left at this level, right?”
“… … I am not dead.”
would have undoubtedly avoided it.
No, it’s difficult if you don’t avoid it.
“You missed it on purpose.”
“I roughly figured out the identity. If I kick him out today, I won’t be able to see him for a while.”
“Who were you? I don’t know because humans can’t tell the difference.”
“Well, who was it?”
Well, it won’t matter if you teach me.
We’ll see you again soon anyway.
“First, let’s clean up. We have to hand over the guys we secured as red-handed criminals.”
You have to think of a good excuse for that.

From noble mtl dot com
“Sensei knew that at a time like this, there are people who think of petty things, but I can’t believe this has already happened… … .”
Professor Daniel lamented for a long time after submitting my testimony, excuses, and a circumstantial document in which I wrote ‘I did nothing wrong!’ logically and pleadingly.
“I see. I should have thought in advance that Xian would be the target.”
“Wasn’t it during your time as a professor?”
“It wasn’t to this extent. Besides, there was no reason for me or my seniors to be targeted like this at the time.”
Being a weak class and receiving hostility and scorn from the common magic class was a daily routine, so he wouldn’t have known if he had been targeted, but the professor muttered something he couldn’t help laughing at.
“Because it would be obvious if you started a fight openly, there was also a way to curse without leaving evidence.”
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that murmur.
“Anyway, you admit that this kind of grumpiness will happen. Professor, don’t you usually hide it?”
“Because our professors know the nasty side of the academy better than the students.”
“Aren’t you going to punish that?”
“To my shame… … .”
“Even if they insist on impartiality, it is because the pockets of those naive people are playing a part in actually cultivating the ground for education.”
Philos Academy’s budget is distributed by the imperial family, but of course that alone would not be enough.
Because the empire’s budget isn’t infinite.
The number of students is increasing and the facilities of the academy need to be improved. Above all, as technology advances, the budget required for it also increases exponentially.
The imperial family’s budget was limited to supporting a single pillar.
The main operating expenses depend on the budget allocated by the imperial family, but for other things, money must be raised elsewhere.
A noble’s donation was a very natural means.
Engaging in school admissions or grades is a bait, and in return, they receive a huge donation.
“Because you have to be aware of the donations of those nobles, you can’t stop this grumpiness.”
“Hearing it from the mouth of a child hurts my heart even more.”
Not at all.
I had no intention of criticizing it, since I thought the world was like that anyway.
“In that respect, I’m glad I’m a black magic class. At least I won’t have to fight with an adult who was bought with that donation.”
“If you’re happy like that, as a professor in the black magic class, you’re in a bad mood, right? That doesn’t mean there’s no punishment.”
“Yes, the executioner.”
In fact, the group that approached me to use their hands had already turned them over to the academy.
There’s no way they’ll be acquitted in terms of face, and I have no intention of defending them. Besides, I don’t care what they do.
However, for such a convenient reason, I wouldn’t bother to ask what was behind it.
cuz it’s cumbersome
“Well, I didn’t even expect it.”
In fact, when I was submitting the police report, I heard a roundabout story from the academy’s Academic Affairs Department.
“I’ve been told it won’t happen, but it’s hard to believe.”
“As a teacher, it is difficult to say anything. … … So cyan? What are you going to do?”
Professor Daniel asks my intention.
“As Xian said, it must be difficult to trust the safety of the academy, right?”
“Even if the professor says that.”
“Because no one else listens. And there’s no reason to say anything fancy about it. In reality, it is true that the workshop’s security is lax.”
“It’s about that… … . Actually, should I call it an after-action report? … .”
“Could there be something else?”
Professor Daniel asks a puzzled question.
“Anyway, there was quite a commotion, and rumors spread, didn’t it? Thanks to that, he asked me to negotiate once in a roundabout way.”
“… … do stupid sh*t again. no, how is it? Does that mean you’re going to do something for Xian?”
In short, it means that instead of keeping one’s mouth shut about the damage done, and no longer questioning who was behind it, he would provide some convenience.
It’s not just because I perceive this situation as an event in the game that I’m not particularly indignant.
It was because I was trying to get something out of this as an excuse.
You can’t ask for outright money, but you could rip something else off instead.
“I have been granted permission to develop part of the forest.”
“ha… … . okay. I’m going to stick with it… … . yes?”
Once, her grumbling stopped.
“draft? what now?”
Professor Daniel pauses, blinks, and asks.
“What permission do you have?”
“Permission to renovate the forest. It’s limited to some areas around the workshop.”
The forest was used as a dormitory, workshop, and watchdog for the black magic class.
Of course, the place is owned by the academy, and students do not have any permission other than collecting.
(Haven’t you cut down trees and made things before?)
‘… … That much is fine.’
After all, it is the realm of gathering.
However, when it comes to full-scale development, the problem is different.
Building various convenience facilities around the base.
Especially what I want the most.
“Because we wanted permission for a major renovation of the studio.”
“Come to think of it, it was old. It wasn’t that the teacher didn’t care either.”
However, this mishap was used as an excuse to obtain permission to some extent.
A small budget was also promised.
‘It didn’t feel like someone was using their hands rather than simply telling them to shut up, though.’
no matter what,
Stop pretending not to know and keep your mouth shut.
That’s the basics of a shameless social life.
“Do you have plans to renovate the studio?”
“There are things I’ve been thinking about before. The budget was promised, so I guess I can do the rest.”
I, Xian, always have a plan.
“Wow, that’s great.”
“So, but… … . The existing workshops will probably be demolished almost half way, or nothing will remain.”
Due to the paperwork process, it was not necessary to obtain permission from Professor Daniel in advance.
Supervision of black magic class students is her domain as a professor, but the forest is under the jurisdiction of the academy’s academic affairs department.
As long as they gave permission for the right to reconstruct, talking to her is nothing more than an after-action report.
“I see~. There must be some things in the studio that haven’t been touched yet, right?”
Professor Daniel understood at once.
“yes. All that junk.”
“… … odds and ends.”
But I can’t seem to deny it.
From the beginning, the workshop of the black magic class was put in order to put several students.
This time, I’m just monopolizing it.
The problem is that the traces of those seniors remain too dark.
“I disposed of things that were openly trash.”
“… … It was.”
“But other than that, I just stuffed it into an empty room as a storage space.”
It seems that magicians’ belongings have a reputation for being difficult to deal with.
For example, let’s say that there is a wizard who passed away after studying alone all his life.
Even if you are not a famous wizard who has left a particularly big achievement, it is said that the aftermath is a headache.
There have been cases where even an insignificant stone exploded and caused damage because it was a material used in magic experiments.
“There was also the case of summoning Emily, so I left it untouched as much as possible.”
It wasn’t that I wasn’t curious.
But there was more danger than that. … … Well, after looking around, no matter how much I thought about it, even what looked like human bones protruded, so I didn’t like it.
“all right. draft. The teacher will take care of it sooner or later. Originally, I had to organize it earlier than that.”
She wasn’t free either, so she probably didn’t have time.
“But it will be difficult right now. Preparing for the evaluation takes time… … .”
Even the professor of the black magic class was not free.
Even if I am the only student, there are things like supervising or assisting other classes’ exams.
No, rather, it seems to be more busy because it is a weak class.
… … I will definitely become an unemployed adult. Watching Professor Daniel’s hard work, I made a resolution in my heart.
“I think you can take a look at the workshop after the evaluation is over.”
“it’s okay. After all, I couldn’t even come close to the studio before that.”
“… … yes? draft? What do you mean?”
Oh, come to think of it, I should have reported that first.
