Episode 45
‘… … Actually, I tried to do it alone at first.’
It was difficult.
I know the answer, but I lack detailed knowledge and skills.
The process of reaching the formula was difficult with only the answers learned through the game.
I also thought about consulting Emily for her opinion, but Emily is also very clumsy at developing this kind of thing because she uses magic sensibly.
(Anyway, this older sister is clumsy when it comes to crafting. Not to mention, she doesn’t know much about human tools.)
‘Well, everything has to have the right person.’
In this case, it would be the professor.
More than anything, I know she will succeed in this development.
Originally, if this development was her destiny and achievement, she should be pushed hard.
Not bad for her either.
At the academy, the black magic class just keeps it from disappearing, just like protecting endangered creatures.
no one expects
That said, there is no future.
Most warlocks are just complacent, so there will be no progress.
So, I’ll ask you how many credits there are.
To put it bluntly, in our dark magic department, students raise professors.

The development of the scroll was progressing smoothly.
Not to mention, the person in charge of that role is a black magician with enough skills to teach at the academy.
‘Originally, Professor Daniel realized the method and pioneered it.’
I just brought you an item that will be the key to the process in advance.
A trick, so to speak.
Actually, I pretended to throw hints in moderation and was shy to intervene, but Professor Daniel, who was the main axis of development, didn’t care at all.
rather.
“look! Thanks to Xian, the scroll sample has already been completed!”
Saying that it was my contribution, I was delighted with the first completed scroll.
“The developer is always the professor.”
“I just added what I know. Because it was Xian who presented the core to complete this.”
He didn’t fall to the point of stealing his pupil’s credit. Even though it’s a black magician. Professor Daniel said confidently.
“And if it was a draft, it would have been completed someday even without my advice.”
“… … well.”
Wouldn’t it be blatant to say that now I’m stabbed by my conscience?
“At this rate, even the announcement will go smoothly.”
This study will be published as a co-author.
Still, the world will recognize Professor Daniel’s name before me.
You would normally think that the professor, not the student, invented this.
“It might be worth considering announcing the proposal independently rather than jointly.”
“Ah, you know. If you do, you never know when you will be recognized.”
“but… … .”
Professor Daniel said bitterly.
It’s not just because of the concession that I’m trying to announce as a co-author.
“Anyway, the test piece is complete. I will try and improve the rest myself.”
“And when it’s fully completed, you can announce it.”
“Leave that to this teacher.”
Professor Daniel said confidently, as if asking for it.
“… … That’s why I want to try it right now.”
From noble mtl dot com
I look out the window of the lab.
After checking the scenery outside where the rain was pouring heavily, he said regretfully.
“Today will be overworked.”
“The indoor test center is also full of schedules now.”
Well, there’s no need to fret.
“Then I will go home early today.”
When the weather is bad, it’s important to go back early and rest.
“wait a minute. draft.”
“yes?”
“You mean you want to go back when it’s pouring like that?”
“It’s just rain. what… … .”
If it were me now, I wouldn’t catch a cold even if it rained like that.
“Don’t worry. Whoop whoop. If it gets wet, this older sister will dry it with care.”
“Well, I also say things like this.”
“… … I’ve been curious about this before, but how are you usually doing?”
I’m not going to listen to what Emily is saying right away, but the professor asks anxiously.
No, I’m not particularly devoured by demons.
“I can’t.”
“yes?”
“It wouldn’t be a teacher to make a cute pupil go back in the rain like that.”
Something starts to rationalize itself arbitrarily.
“Stay here today. Just like the teacher.”
For some reason, the professor is interrupting the student’s return home.
That’s a terrible word.
(……It’s quite right? I never thought I’d use the weather as an excuse.)
And be quiet for a while. devil sister.

A number of facilities are provided to the professors of the academy.
For professors with a certain position, basic support such as research labs and budgets.
In order to guarantee a certain level of living, there is also a facility where you can stay in the academy.
“Is Professor Daniel staying here? You don’t have a separate mansion, do you?”
“It’s annoying to come and go. The closer the lab is, the better.”
Not all professors are like that.
As if to show off their authority as a professor and a large salary, there are not a few people who live in decent mansions.
However, Professor Daniel is a typical researcher type. It seems that he considers luxurious mansions to be a hindrance.
“The accommodation is good. You can hire a separate employee to clean or prepare meals for you.”
“Well, at first glance, Professor Daniel seems like someone who shouldn’t be alone.”
“What does that mean?”
“Warlock Workshop, Garbage Dump.”
“… … It’s a story when you’re immature. The current teacher is living an elegant and steady life.”
how about that Isn’t there an aphorism similar to the proverb that a three-year-old habit lasts until eighty?
“whopping! The hireling cleans it every day!”
I haven’t been steady, this person.
“It’s okay if I go back like this.”
“No. draft. Aside from the studio, I’m worried about the way back there.”
Tteok. Professor Daniel firmly says no.
“However, Xian is still a child. I don’t think the teacher will feel comfortable just sending it back.”
“Even if I get struck by lightning on my way back, it won’t be a big deal if it’s me.”
“… … I’d rather be here too.”
For some reason, he has eyes for a kid who shouldn’t be put out on the water’s edge.
Why? It’s true.
“ha… … . I can’t even do it.”
“Then it doesn’t matter if I sleep in the lab.”
Even now, thousands of students are confined to their labs and forget what the sun’s light is like.
Give them a ray of light.
There wouldn’t be anything strange about staying up all night in the lab.
But the professor was adamant.
“I don’t want to be that kind of professor.”
“Is this professor okay?!”
“What does that mean?”
“What are you sleeping on… … .”
Why do you bother me so much by showing concern and favor?
It was because of the place where Professor Daniel took me to bed.
A dormitory for professors only.
This is the dormitory where the academy professors live.
“… … First of all, can I bring a student here?”
“I never said no.”
“I never said it meant that.”
Well, there’s no point in pointing out that you shouldn’t do even common sense things.
“It doesn’t matter if the two of you stay together. Most of all, I think it goes unnoticed.”
“On what grounds?”
“I saw Professor Marnil take a student in before.”
“Haven’t you just uncovered a huge scandal?”
At least it’s clear that I don’t have any thoughts.
In the end, I couldn’t break the professor’s stubbornness and ended up coming to the professor’s room as if dragged half way.
The word “pleasant to stay in” is not really a pretense, but the scenery inside the room is quite neat.
“Surprisingly, it’s not a garbage dump.”
“Why do you sound disappointed? I told you. It’s managed by the employer. Well, lately, there are times when I look at it with a somewhat shocked look.”
“… … Well, that doesn’t matter anyway.”
It would be better if you stay quiet.
If you stay still, you won’t be noticed.
(hehehe, don’t worry. In case of emergency, this older sister will look around.)
‘Don’t talk nonsense.’
Get out of here, you devil.
First of all, Emily was very careful not to jump out even by mistake. Either way, when it comes out, there’s no doubt that either of them will say something funny.
“Sian~, it’s okay to be comfortable. It’s the teacher’s room, so you don’t have to be polite.”
“If you don’t, it seems like a big deal. town… … .”
What covered me as I replied was a towel over my head.
“Hey~, should I dry it first? Ugh, I’m completely soaked. I said I would go back to this place. really.”
If I had to compare it, would it feel like bringing a dog or cat that got wet in the rain and shaking it off?
Obviously, from Professor Daniel’s point of view, it must have been that much of a feeling.
“no… … I can brush it off.”
“Stay still. Xian is going to just brush it off and be done with it.”
With odd stubbornness, Professor Daniel uses a towel over my head to shake off the water that clings to my hair.
“Maybe I can dry it with magic.”
“If you do it carelessly like that, your hair will be ruined later. Or is it okay to leave?”
Many of the magicians are naked because they are too busy studying and neglect management.
What a terrible teaching.
“Oh, that can’t be. yes. Please dry carefully.”
In the end, half resigned, I decided to be swayed by the professor’s insistence.
“At times like this, Xian still seems like a child.”
“You’re right, but.”
… … Well, if you look at the inside, it won’t be, but the body is still a child.
then baby
Xian is a child. Mmm.
* * *
I told you to be comfortable, so I really should be on my own.
However, I didn’t really intend to spread it.
‘Shall we practice as usual… … .’
In order to get rid of all sorts of thoughts, I tried to practice the control cycle of Magi while the professor went to do other things for a while.
(Oh my, it’s been a long time since I came to a place like this, so I have to practice? Needlessly diligent.)
‘Then what should I do?’
(Fufufufu, can you teach me?)
‘Enough.’
More than anything else, Magi’s control training was indispensable.
There is no change in the fact that training is most efficient when the body is still young.
‘It seems that these days, the strands have been caught.’
(Of course. Who do you think taught you the trick?)
As the training was repeated, I was able to realize that the individual’s vessel was gradually growing.
Even if you don’t have to check your level or ability, there is a way to feel the growth.
Even in modest training, there will be something to be gained.
It was around the time that I was meditating for a long time and had finished practicing to better grasp the sense of control of demons.
“Hmm… … .”
During the meditation, I didn’t notice because I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings because I was concentrating.
Well, usually Emily is looking around and letting me know if there’s anything.
This time, Emily must have deliberately not taught it.
(Whoop whoop…)
Suppose you ignore the meaningful laughter.
“… … professor? What are you doing?”
I slowly opened my eyes and asked Professor Daniel, who was still staring in front of me.
“Since when?”
“Not long ago. I came back after work for a while. Um, were you practicing as usual?”
It probably wasn’t just that I didn’t talk to her so she wouldn’t get in the way.
was watching
“It looks like you’ve been doing basic training regularly.”
“Do you know when you see it?”
“As a warlock, I am a lot older than Xian. And these days, there are many warlocks who neglect the basics.”
There are few black magicians with a desire to improve.
If it’s just about eating and living, it’s enough to train to the extent of giving guidelines in the guild.
There are few people who have the desire to rise to the top, let alone most talented people, because they are blocked by reality and give up their dreams.
