Episode 46
“But the way of circulation is sensuous. It’s not according to the textbook, is it?”
“The textbook itself is a bit ambiguous, so I referred to other instructions a bit.”
“Hmm… … . Is that the devil?”
Just looking at it, I can see that much.
“That’s not a bad idea. Seek advice from the contracted devil.”
“Is it dangerous?”
“well. Surely even the pioneers of the past sometimes sought advice from the devil.”
Whether you can believe it or not is aside.
“Above all, there is a saying that the beginning of black magic is the power of the devil.”
“ah… … . That’s it.”
Was it a legend that the wizard who first created black magic studied directly from the devil?
“In that respect, surprisingly, the method Xian pursues may be the method closest to the origin.”
but.
Praise alone won’t lead.
“Still, it’s too sensuous. It’s because the human body and the devil’s body strictly have different conditions for establishment. So it might be a bit reckless to apply it as is. I have never heard of a precedent.”
“is that so?”
(Well, we don’t know much about the human body.)
Ignore the frightening sounds.
Well, I’m a case of applying Emily’s advice somehow with various tricks and perks. Other warlocks wouldn’t be able to train like this.
Meanwhile, Professor Daniel looks over me to see if he has anything else to say.
“Sian, would you like to take off your clothes for a while?”
Oh my goodness.
However, the expression on the face of a person who made a shameful joke was extremely serious.
Perhaps it was to further in-depth the advice given earlier.
Even if you take it off meekly, that person won’t blink an eye.
“indeed… … You trained harder than I thought.”
A professor who can gauge how the demons have trained so far just by looking at the circulation path.
“But I also rely on my intuition.”
Professor Daniel earnestly begins to explain to me how to operate demons and the circulation path of humans.
It’s not even class time.
“… … Please refer to the caveats in this way.”
There is no need to disregard the advice.
As advised by the professor, I recheck the mana circulation sense and operate it again.
《Passive – Magi Takeover》
《Passive – Magi Adaptability》
《As you acquire each skill, your proficiency increases.》
Is there any effect?
The mastery of passive skills that are the foundation of the black magic series rises.
Surely there’s nothing wrong with listening to the pioneers.
“Huh, you’re doing well.”
(You’re doing well.)
As the number of people giving instructions increases, the number of voices heard doubles.
After that, I even got a meal, and now I’m starting to feel like I can really spread out like my own house.
‘no… … I wouldn’t do that.’
Xian is not so rude.
If you take it for granted that you are doing a favor, human beings will become garbage in no time.
“Do you need anything?”
“no… … . it’s okay. It’s more than enough, so you don’t have to take care of it.”
really.
It was the moment when I began to think deeply that I might not be able to be a hard-nosed human being who would not mind receiving favors from others unexpectedly.
Shamelessness is also a talent.
‘I don’t understand, but… … .’
The only new student in the dark magic class that is all ruined.
How much more genius? And are you handsome and have good personality?
‘favoritism… … Is it worth it?’
In any case, it must be true that the treatment was a bit excessive for simply showing favoritism to a single student.
In that case, it is best to ask openly.
“Professor Daniel?”
“Do you need something too?”
“Oh no! Not like that! No, to be honest, I don’t think it’s too much for me to do.”
“Maybe.”
What was surprising was that he readily admitted it as soon as he brought it up.
“Certainly overdoing it.”
Knowing?!
“To the end, this is like a favor given not as a professor, but as a senior.”
As a professor, I have no intention of looking at the unfair line.
There was nothing she could do to cross the line and sleep with the one remaining student, but she cut it short.
“And Xi’an is well worth it.”
value?
“Do you know? In fact, scroll development has been a concern since the time of my teacher.”
“… … ah!”
“You have no idea how surprised I was when I heard it.”
There is no favoritism without reason.
“It was a dream he often talked about. The black magic scroll.”
“Is this a dream?”
“Does Xian know why magic scrolls were developed?”
Origin of the Magic Scroll.
I vaguely recalled the setting. clearly… … .
“Is it a product that allows even those who cannot use magic to enjoy the benefits?”
“I say so. But black magic couldn’t give it to the world like that.”
Therefore, black magic would have been difficult to accept otherwise.
Former black magic class professor.
Tale Capelin.
It is said that Professor Daniel, who was a teacher during his school days, also claimed that.
“But they say that even though they tried, they couldn’t develop it in the end. I took over the material, but I was halfway giving up on it.”
A student who came in that one day.
A child who was still just a kid brought the clue.
“Shouldn’t it be cute enough?”
“For that reason… … Well, I understand.”
From noble mtl dot com
Of course, I can’t really think that it’s just that. There’s no need to say unnecessary words.
“If the scroll test is successful tomorrow, leave it to this teacher after that.”
I couldn’t help but nod my head to the professor who seemed to be in a very good mood.
* * *
next day.
As planned, Professor Daniel and I borrowed a practice book for the black magic scroll test.
Unlike the lab, the training ground also doubles as rougher training and experiments with artifacts, so it’s easy to fix the damage even if there is a mistake.
“Sian, are you ready?”
“I’m about to lose my arm while waiting.”
While the professor is examining the artifacts for experimental observation.
I held up my courtesy scroll and stood far away in the middle of the practice range.
“Is it okay for the teacher to do it instead of Xian?”
“no. For some reason, I don’t like to give up on things like this.”
It was the first black magic scroll developed there. I’m also leaving a record, so I don’t want to give up the achievement of tearing this up for the first time.
“Emily will step in if there’s anything wrong with it.”
Above all, you can’t make mistakes.
“… … all right. First of all, teachers are paying attention.”
However, unlike me, who knows the future, Professor Daniel seems to be a little worried, muttering that it’s okay over and over again as he prepares for the exam.
Well, the professor’s reaction must be normal.
(Because to others, Xian would look very reckless.)
You’re not wrong.
Because he is sure of the result itself, he may look like a really fearless child when he puts his hand on anything without hesitation.
“The preparations are over. draft.”
“Then let’s tear it apart somewhere cool.”
I smiled confidently and lifted the dark magic scroll.
Black Magic Scroll Prototype No. 1.
The only recorded magic was the magic of raising a simple Black Flame in Circle 1.
I was able to record more powerful magic enough, but the purpose was to check the process and danger of invocation.
So, first of all, it is common to use magic with the simplest structure and low power just in case.
“Hmm… … .”
I unfolded the parchment, stained black.
Originally, it was an ordinary parchment, but when completed as a black magic scroll, it seems to be dyed black by the stored demonic energy.
“Personally, I like it, but… … If you think about being popular, you should think about the issue of appearance.”
Well, that’s for later.
Once I unfolded the scroll so that I could tear it at any time, and held the tip with my fingertips.
The method of activating the scroll is to tear more than two-thirds of it.
(Come to think of it, why are humans obsessed with tearing the tool?)
‘It’s not really obsessive. It’s just for safety reasons.’
As a result of developing this and discussing it with Professor Daniel, it is said that the theory of changing the way the scroll itself is activated has already been established.
It is also possible to activate it without even touching it with a finger.
However, generally commercially available scrolls have unconditional tearing as an unspoken rule.
There was a reason.
just because of stability.
‘I don’t know if it’s a wizard who studies magic professionally, but most of the general-purpose scrolls that are currently being sold in the empire are people who can’t use magic.’
Wizards know the dangers of magic.
Above all, even though it is a tool, if handled incorrectly, there is a risk of not only hurting oneself, but also losing research products and records accumulated in the workshop, so manage it sensitively.
But civilians are different.
It’s also common to buy a scroll and leave it in a dusty warehouse.
Accidentally dropping and stepping on it, or spilling something like alcohol on it is said to be a common occurrence.
‘A rough reading of the case shows that there was a similar accident when scroll distribution first started.’
That’s why it is said that an agreement was reached to limit the activation code by tearing it.
‘There are very few accidents that will tear more than half. In addition, scrolls are expensive, so I won’t treat them like that.’
Of course, accidents that will happen will still happen, but more than that is ultimately your responsibility.
‘But it’s an activation method… … . Surely it would be useful to consider that.’
Anyway, that’s something to think about later.
The priority now is to complete this.
I tore the scroll boldly.
The black parchment that was torn in half and split in two within seconds.
Scrolls are triggered when torn.
The magic formula recorded inside is opened, and it begins to activate quickly.
‘The principle of the scroll is to engrave the magic formula immediately before activation on parchment and freeze it.’
And when released, the remaining activation process proceeds.
In short, when scrolling, the stop button is pressed.
The principle that the medium called parchment is released and the stop button that was pressed is released.
Roaring.
“Oh oh… … .”
Even if you don’t really do anything, the magic is activated just by tearing this parchment.
black fever occurs
The significance of the scroll item is that even a class that has not mastered magic can use it.
Any class can use scrolling.
Because it’s just a consumable item.
‘But that’s all.’
Anyone can use it, but that has its pros and cons.
The magic that can be recorded is theoretically limited to those of the 3rd circle, and items beyond that are produced by acquiring a specific skill with high proficiency or obtained as a reward from a dungeon.
But even that couldn’t surpass the originals who used magic directly.
Basically, the magic proficiency recorded on the scroll is limited to level 1.
In short, mass production.
‘Still, there might be a corner where I can use it as it is.’
Well, my priority and purpose is the honor and advantage that can be gained by meddling in its development rights.
Other than that, it’s just a side bridge to think about slowly and apply.
Roaring.
On top of the magic circle floating in the air, the black flame burns once and then gradually loses its power and disappears.
First of all, the activation time is shortened, so it won’t be that difficult to make it more powerful later when it’s produced in earnest.
“Professor, what is the result?”
“It’s perfect. It shows the function as a scroll properly and does not show any danger.”
Success.
It means that the development of the scroll has taken the perfect foundation.
“You did it, Xian.”
It was only a scroll of one circle, but it would surely serve as a basis for changing the future of black magic.
Knowing that, Professor Daniel’s voice trembled faintly as if he was thrilled.
I didn’t make a fuss because I had my own face, but I probably wanted to cheer right away.
《The Dark Magic Scroll Development Achievement has been achieved.》
A performance that made me laugh out loud.
Of course, I am not satisfied with this. It was only the completion of the first stage of the development of the black magic scroll.
《However, black magic scrolls have not been recognized by the public yet.》
《The moment you are recognized, your achievements will be recognized as well.》
The quest isn’t complete yet.
Research doesn’t just end with making things.
Rather start now.
“Now this must be acknowledged.”
No matter what discipline it is, it is of no use if you cherish the results of your research.
How to tell the world right away.
