Episode 51
That ugly snob was opening his mouth as if his voice wasn’t coming out, but that didn’t matter.
As I warned earlier, it just depends on how stupid he is.
“… … Well, a snob, but not so sensible.”
“I hope so.”
The old man who had been watching this scene for some time answered the self-talk that seemed to be heard.
Dean of the Imperial Academy.
Philef Paleneus.
“Dean?”
“I was nervous. Just in case, I wonder if you really are using your hands.”
“It can’t be, can it? not even in the past It’s not even worth it.”
It’s just a threat just in case. Professor Daniel says so.
“You didn’t even want to stop the dean, did you?”
“… … If he’s that stupid, it might be necessary to cut him off here.”
The dean didn’t take anyone’s side.
To put it bluntly, he cares more about the worthless and talented new chicks.
On the other hand, if you are a person who does not fit into the academy.
“It is true that there is a shortage of manpower. Even though he’s a snob, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability. I hope I can understand your advice as much as possible.”
“Then please join us so that this does not happen again.”
“Because what your apprentice is doing is interesting. Didn’t you do well there?”
They weren’t adults who didn’t know what Xian was trying to do.
Deliberately provoking snobs to create a stage and appeal to the superiority of their knowledge and results.
“Most of the professors watched the competition. It will be difficult to catch any more faults.”
Although he was on the sidelines, he only watched because he noticed that it was what Xian wanted.
“Above all, what the kid showed was an interesting and expected result. We can never let it be buried in vain.”
Another figure sneaked out from behind the dean’s back.
There was no way he could not recognize the dimly lit presence in the darkness.
“… … !!”
Professor Daniel’s eyes widened when he saw it.
‘He’ stopped her from hastily lowering her posture.
“Don’t do anything stupid. Daniel. Because this is not an official visit. After all, there are only a handful of people, including this old man and you, who will recognize Jim now.”
“… … I never thought His Majesty would have been watching.”
your majesty.
There is only one person in this vast empire who can be called that.
emperor of the empire.
“Yeah, I was watching. I heard that a kid who pursues black magic does something bold. Of course you have to see it. Ha ha ha!”
And the emperor, who watched the competition without anyone noticing, smiled with satisfaction.
“Nice. Up until now, black magic had disappointed Jim, but the youngster wiped the disappointment clean.”
at least i liked it
That fact made Professor Daniel both relieved and uneasy.
“Don’t worry. don’t interfere now You still have to learn. Don’t be ignorant enough to usurp the role of teacher.”
From noble mtl dot com
At least it doesn’t interfere right now.
“I’ll let the load bear it for now.”
“… … It’s embarrassing.”
“Dark magic scroll. What you and the kid developed was clearly confirmed by Jim. I will give you an answer soon.”
The emperor promised official recognition of the dark magic scroll right here.
“I can see the wrinkled faces of those cheeky things in Jim’s eyes.”
“… … your majesty.”
“Wait. Decades have passed since I recognized black magic as one of the knowledge of the Empire.”
The official recognition of black magic as the magic system of the empire was one of the changes that occurred after the current emperor took the throne.
As a result, the Empire has been spared a few headaches, so there are not many people who are against the policy now.
However, it would not have come to the conclusion that black magic was accepted for the sake of the people of the empire.
“I hope that kid will become a piece of wood to keep the cheeky old people in check.”
The reason why the emperor had an eye for black magic.
It was to solidify the structure that would hold the current Mage Tower in check.
Wizards are powerful.
But they are not loyal to the imperial family.
Knights swear an oath of allegiance to a lord or empire, but wizards swear only on the knowledge and mana they will accumulate.
The emperor was annoyed by it.
“I don’t force allegiance, but lately they’ve gone too far.”
Intoxicated with knowledge and power, wizards become more and more arrogant.
The result was the arrogance and madness they showed when there were two towers in the past.
Eventually, the wizard who was in charge of one of the two towers at the time dared to say that he was equal to the emperor in private.
“You were arrogant.”
As a gift to arrogance, the emperor reduced one tower to serve as an example.
But the wizards were still arrogant.
“What you need is a competitor to kick those old ones in the ass.”
that’s black magic.
In the past, when black magic was notorious, wizards devoted themselves to keeping black magic in check.
However, as the power of black magic weakened, sorcerers turned their eyes to power and money, and eventually even opened their eyes to the imperial family.
“Jim thought it would take another ten years.”
What Xian did to such an emperor is considered very satisfactory.
I don’t know if it was bloody or thoroughly calculated, but it proved its excellence by challenging the scroll field monopolized by public magic and pressing it in the same category.
Black magic never lags behind.
“When Daniel announced his intention to become a professor at the academy, Jim wondered if he should allow it.”
“… … that.”
“That was correct.”
Seeing the result of Xian, the emperor is very satisfied.
“Make that kid more diligent.”
“… … yes.”
After hearing Professor Daniel’s answer, the emperor disappeared into the darkness without a word.
“You’re quick to keep an eye on it.”
“It’s a big deal.”
The dean and Professor Daniel did not exchange many words at the spot where the emperor had passed away, but they were silent as if they knew what they were talking about.

《Dark magic scroll development》
《The quest is cleared.》
《Acquire a large amount of experience.》
《You have reached level 24.》
《Acquire 15pts of level up bonus skill points.》
The amount of experience points coming in was unusual, perhaps because the development of the dark magic scroll itself was the basis for not only academic studies but also the impact on imperial society.
“draft”
《Class: Warlock》
《Class Level: 24》
《Stamina: 227》《Magic Power: 302》《Agility: 185》《Luck: 130》
《Physical Defense: 14》《Magical Defense: 20》《Mental Resistance: 30》
《Plant tolerance: 25》
《Remaining Skill Points: 43pt》
In addition, of course, as much as the development of scrolls was achieved, the ability to handle them was also acquired.
《Black Magic – Obtain Scroll Creation.》
《It becomes possible to acquire the derived skill of the scroll creation system.》
The production of black magic scrolls, which can be said to be a quest reward, became possible.
Following that, it seems that the acquisition and training of derived skills will become possible.
(By the way, Xian? Are you okay? There was a strange presence at that match site.)
‘That’s okay. It’s not that I can’t guess.’
The strange presence Emily spoke of, who was on the alert during the match, was probably some high-ranking person who came out to watch the commotion.
maybe the emperor
only the emperor
‘Are you interested in black magic as well?’
The possibility of being noticed was taken into account.
Rather, it’s difficult if you don’t pay attention.
Since then, one of the conditions that triggers a black magic-type event is related to the emperor.
“… … Now I have to prepare for that class.”
Because the development of the scroll was acknowledged.
All that remains is to wait patiently.
The approximate direction has already been discussed with Professor Daniel in advance.
The professor decided to take care of it, so don’t worry.
then what i need to do
‘I have to prepare for class according to my duty as a student.’
It is also a very special class.
Outside practice that will take place on the stage where the events of Chapter 2 of the main scenario will take place.
The time has finally come.
“Should I prepare for camping?”
The first practice outside the academy.
and.
The incident in Chapter 2 of the main scenario.
Chapter 10 – Preparing for Offsite Labs
Imperial Academy.
conference room.
Deans of each class and Dean Philef Paleneus, who can be said to be the general manager of the academy.
They were hastily summoned to discuss a subject.
To be precise, it was summoned by Dean Philef.
“It’s about the class schedule for freshmen. … … Well, I won’t talk too long.”
“Is something wrong with the schedule?”
The water is Professor Hatiel, the head of the alchemy class.
When asked a bit nervously, Filev smiled and shook his head.
“Don’t worry. I just brought you all here because I think we need to change the schedule a bit.”
change of schedule.
All departments of each academy, let alone freshmen, were mentioned.
In the minds of the professors, one of the schedules that the new chicks had to follow popped into their minds.
“no way… … Is it about an outside practice?”
“Unfortunately it is.”
Somehow, the dean sighed as if it was annoying.
“Looks like we need to reschedule that off-site practice.”
“Wait a minute, Dean!”
The one who exclaimed in astonishment was Professor Daniel of the Black Magic class.
“Are you saying you’re going to advance the outside practice?”
“Yes.”
It is not only Professor Daniel who is perplexed. Others also hurriedly made eye contact with the person next to them, as if they had become annoyed.
“And the location of this external practice has been decided in the Forest of Blood.”
Bloody Forest.
A name that has been established since some time ago in a strange forest in the eastern part of the empire.
“I think it is still too early. How much more so in the forest of blood… … .”
“Hmm, is Professor Daniel against it?”
“Professor Daniel from the black magic class probably isn’t the only one. Dean.”
“As expected, at this time, the Forest of Blood is… … .”
“Wasn’t it the original custom to send it to the next semester?”
“Still, that forest is in trouble.”
Other professors can’t stand it and raise their questions.
Filev also furrowed his brow as if embarrassed.
It’s not that I’m offended, but that I’m in trouble when the dissatisfaction that will naturally come out.
“Why did you unreasonably advance the schedule?”
“… … It’s His Majesty’s name.”
“ah… … .”
Someone sighed for a long time.
I thought so.
or.
A sigh containing the feeling of “why is this happening?”
“I’ll tell you first, but I told you, Your Majesty… … . But you speak so strongly.”
emperor of the empire.
The Emperor, whom they must pay homage to and swear allegiance to, has great influence over the academy.
The source of the enormous budget is none other than the imperial family.
Since ancient times, the Imperial Academy has been under the protection of the imperial family, the emperor at that.
The emperor thus had a great say in the academy.
Such an emperor ordered to advance the timing of external practice.
“It’s not like His Majesty didn’t tell us why.”
If it was unfair, I would have tried to persuade him to some extent.
“The situation in the last dungeon is the cause.”
A dungeon haunting incident that occurred a while ago.
Fortunately, the occurrence of the dungeon was prevented by a student who ‘accidentally’ got swept into the dungeon, which was still immature, and prevented the damage.
Originally, it was an event that should be buried far away in the memory after giving proper rewards to the meritorious person and ending with proper follow-up.
“In an unprecedented incident, His Majesty said that the new students should be trained quickly.”
“Training… … .”
“Isn’t the occurrence of dungeons an accident by chance?”
“… … It’s His Majesty’s wisdom.”
I’m not simply saying to train the kids quickly out of impatience.
It is said that the emperor of an empire sees the future.
If he says it is necessary, any reasonable ground will arise in the future.
