Episode 30
Talking about the incident, the damage, and the restoration work didn’t interest the emperor.
Whatever comes out of dungeons that have not settled down on the ground cannot arouse the emperor’s curiosity.
“I want to hear about those kids.”
contributor to solving the case.
I’d love to hear a story about them.
“You said you were a commoner who entered the school through black magic with a daughter of the Belkenil family?”
“yes. That’s right.”
“It is the commoners who are curious about Jim.”
“… … Are you Xian?”
“okay! draft! that was the name That child is not a noble, let alone a black magician, right?”
A commoner and a black magician.
A boy with nothing and no background made a contribution with the most respected specialty in the empire.
The emperor seemed to be interested in it.
“More than anything else, Jim favored that child because of the black magic.”
“Is it because of the increase in the power of black magic?”
Originally, it was a few generations ago that the Empire started to have warlocks, but it was only 20 years ago that they became more interested in nurturing them, and it was only after entering the era of the current emperor.
“I was just lamenting that even though Jim gave me preferential treatment, the right guy didn’t come out.”
The Dark Magic Guild was recognized and incorporated into the academy as an official department.
Even though no new students came in for 10 years, the fact that the black magic department did not disappear was because of the emperor’s influence.
Although it did not revive.
“As expected, what we need is a hero.”
What is more necessary than the budget or the words of the emperor is a person that the people will long for.
A hero and the heroic story he creates.
“If that kid is a vessel to show more merit, he will naturally come up with black magic as well.”
“… … Is it to counter public magic?”
It wasn’t like giving favoritism to black magic.
The push is obviously for political reasons.
The current mages, the power of those who deal with common magic, which became the mainstream, raised the eyebrows of the emperor.
An intention to curb the monopolization of magic and lower their power.
“They got cocky. They mistakenly think of themselves as almighty and lofty.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t that because the tower monopolizes magic?”
The Mage Tower only exists for those who use public magic.
The Empire tolerates black magic, but the tower that symbolizes black has not yet been built on this land.
“They have the illusion that they are special.”
It offended the emperor.
“The only special thing should be the imperial family.”
That was the reason why the emperor had his eyes on the training of warlocks.
“Maybe we will build another tower sooner or later?”
“… … It is a matter on which I dare not comment.”
“Heh, don’t you think that you hate them too?”
“As a person in charge of education, I am just denying the death thoroughly.”
“hahahaha, that’s silly. It became. Let’s put off our expectations for that kid until later. Other than that, I saw a name that caught my eye.”
The emperor is bizarrely interested in the youngsters of the academy, especially the jockeys who entered this year.
Even the dean didn’t understand the intention.
No, I’m not trying to understand.
Because useless speculation can bring about the whims of that absolute being.
The dean only gives honest answers to questions, excluding personal opinions.

postprocessing.
When an incident happens, someone must take care of it.

‘I’m not going to do it.’
The academy was urging students to help with the restoration work to deal with the situation.
Not barefoot, of course.
They put forward a pretext that they would pay some credits or labor costs to students who help by providing labor or magic.
‘There is no labor cost as cheap as a student.’
In short, it means that you are young because you are easygoing.
‘My youth is neither formidable nor cheap.’
On the other hand, I was gracefully lounging around in the studio, admiring the shiny booty.
“draft? Don’t you have to go help?”
“What are you talking about? Ha ha ha ha ha. I’m a meritorious person who worked hard in the dungeon, right? Oh my, my socks are sore.”
The pinnacle of shamelessness.
No one can deny the fact that Lisetta and I defeated the dungeon boss and cleared the dungeon.
The entrance to the dungeon disappeared, and the monsters also disappeared.
And because there were not one or two people who blankly saw me and Lisetta in the middle.
A student who attacked the dungeon at the imperial academy came out!
Even if it was an unfinished dungeon, it would be enough to become a topic of conversation.
‘no… … They’ll float it on purpose.’
The status of the academy rises significantly just by having students with merit.
Even more so if they are citizens of the Empire.
Above all, it is someone’s heroic story that dispels disgraceful rumors about the incident.
A common strategy.
“You have to be arrogant when giving compliments and compliments whenever possible.”
I don’t give compliments for the rest of my life.
When you say you’re good at it, suck it up on the other side.
That’s why no one reproaches me for lying down on my stomach.
What if no? Make a contribution and come.
“And I don’t want to show a possible face.”
“Didn’t you want to get more attention?”
Emily asks curiously.
“I want achievements, but I don’t want to brag about them… … . Attention will be directed to the other side.”
Perhaps by now, the other person, Lisetta, would be called around and squeezing a lot.
“First of all, since you’re a senior, please testify on behalf of juniors you don’t know well.”
“Poetry, Shi’an?!”
“Good job then!”
That was the last conversation between me and Lisetta.
“You threw it out in the open. Be pitiful too.”
“If you throw it away, you give up the opportunity to be noticed. Lady First!”
Well, including handing over the police report that was supposed to be submitted.
“I can’t be honest.”
Emily came up behind me with a strange laugh and hugged me from behind.
“You don’t have to pretend to be unkind.”
“… … Leave it alone.”
“And you were really overdoing it.”
I can’t say no.
It was because he had repeatedly used black magic that was still in the middle of training.
For a while, I had to taste the sensation of anemia.
The reason why I pretended to be lazy was actually a bluff.
I just didn’t want to expose my bottom.
A boy is a being who lives as a bluff and a throbbing black flame dragon in his right arm.
‘And since I have to calculate the results, I want to be relaxed.’

Above all, loot.
An ore obtained in a dungeon.

‘Is it great?’
When I came back, I took a closer look and shuddered.
“You have a strange mana?”
“It’s a type of grant ore.”
“Endowed ore? I think I heard it somewhere.”
A precious item that cannot be easily guessed even with the knowledge of Emily, the devil.
“Enchantment ore has the power to randomly grant unique characteristics to any weapon or item.”
“It’s a thing that can’t be taken down unless you’re a demon.”
“Drinking… … I guess so.”
Because the grant ore is a type of item that cannot be synthesized with the player’s skill.
‘If you want to sell this… … Just putting it on the market is going to cause a war.’
I have no intention of selling. I should use it wisely.
‘And I’ll have to prepare for the next incident.’
The start of Chapter 2 of the main story is one month from now.
This time, the incident takes place outside the academy, not inside.
An enemy with full-fledged malice also appears.
If you don’t hurry up and build your skills, you won’t get anything.
‘I have to become stronger.’
It was around the time I thought about it.
jingle.
A bell rang outside the cabin.
“Who is here?”
Recently, Celidia has been visiting often, so I even put a bell outside so that it’s easy to know when she comes.
“I wonder what the professor came to ask. Emily, hide for now.”
“Can this older sister respond?”
“It’s okay, so get out of here.”
After embodying Emily into hiding, I answered appropriately and opened the door.
was not a professor.
“Yay! Were you here too? Junior?”
A girl with crimson hair waving lightly outside the door.
Lisetta Belkenil.
“Lizetta senior? How do you feel?”
“I heard about your place by asking the other freshmen.”
“Did anyone know where I was stuck?”
“Did you know the blue beast girl? Apparently her name is Sally… … .”
“ah… … . That’s him. yes. Well, come in first.”
The weather is gradually getting warmer, but it is not reasonable to leave it outside.
“Then, how do you feel about leaving everything to this senior?”
“Thanks to you, I rested to the fullest and recovered well.”
“Yeah, that’s good.”
“uh? Weren’t you angry?”
I thought I had come to pick up on all the work and jumped out.
“Why? Are you really exhausted? I was worried that you might tip over on the way.”
“… … Surprisingly, I can’t act.”
He may be a person who is surprisingly incapable of bluffing.
“So nothing happened?”
“well? For now, I was called to the dean the next day.”
“Ooh… … .”
I probably didn’t mean to upset you.
“I did hear a little bit of nagging. After that, he praised me for doing well.”
“I guess so. other than that?”
“And the academy decided to give me an injury. First of all, delivering this is one of my business today.”
Lisetta took out a rather heavy-looking leather pouch and set it on the table.
“goldfinch!”
“Specially, the academy decided to give an award in recognition of merit. This is Xian’s.”
“The dean is the best!”
Seriously, it feels like my mouth is itching and a smile is dripping.
Actually, I had no money.
Due to the potions I bought to prepare for Chapter 1 of the main story, I generously used up my budget.
I don’t regret it, but I was sad that I had to live frugally until the next time I delivered potions to Mr. Carrot’s shop.
“Wow! It’s a gold coin.”
i like the kid
“Yes, yes, juniors have a better smile than anyone else in front of money.”
“Doesn’t that sound like someone I can buy with money?”
“What if someone seduces you with this kind of money?”
“ah… … . Let’s think about it.”
For some reason, Lisetta looked at it with eyes that wanted to say, “That’s not possible.”
Because it’s a joke.
“By the way, what are you going to do next?”
“I will train quietly for the time being. I was also scolded by the professors. And when the opportunity comes… … .”
“As expected, in another dungeon?”
“I plan to.”
Lisetta’s purpose is to recover her family.
For a great cause that must fulfill the conditions set by the emperor.
That alone hasn’t changed.
But I don’t feel the same nervousness as before.
It’s like talking about a suitable life goal.
“I don’t know if it’s possible or not. Maybe then really… … .”
“It will be possible.”
“huh?”
“I think it’s possible if it’s a senior in the future.”
I can’t tell you the reason.
But to say that it is possible is a bit of an understatement.
“If you believe in a goal, you will have more confidence, right?”
“yes… … .”
Lisetta pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something more, then stood up.
“Are you going to go back? Then, as for seeing off… … .”
I handed over all the gold coins, but my conscience pricked me to wave goodbye like this.
It was the time when I was about to get up to follow him, at least to see him off.
tadak.
sudden footsteps.
In a daze, my vision is blocked before I even have time to blink.
Lisetta suddenly hugged my face.
“… … senior?”
“Thank you for your help. someday. I will definitely repay you with something equivalent to that time, not gold coins like this.”
“… … that.”
I closed my mouth.
It wasn’t condescending or embarrassing.
I didn’t mean to help.
I wasn’t even trying to save it.
‘It was only for my life.’
It was because I thought it would be to my advantage to help Lisetta survive and jump on board with her actions to even lead to the result of clearing the dungeon.
I actually got paid for doing that.
Yes, this result must have benefited me.
“If you ever need my help, be sure to tell me.”
“Let’s call without hesitation.”
Because it’s for my future.
