017. Professor’s office, garden, hospital visit (2)
“yes-“
I heard Julius’ voice from inside.
It’s a positive voice. I opened the door. It was a cautious move.
When I opened the door, the smell of candles and strong perfume spread at the same time. Speaking of what a strange combination, wasn’t Julius and Deiane sitting facing each other on the sofa inside the professor’s room?
Judging from the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like they were talking about anything important, but rather, they seemed to be having a casual chat.
It must be like friendship between professors.
But, the harmony between the clergy and Deianne, who runs around all over the place?
It’s a completely incompatible combination.
“Ah, are you an Aren student?”
When Julius saw me, he put the teacup down.
He had attacked me like he was going to eat me once before. And I was humiliated. It was to the extent that I was even punished separately.
Even though he apologized at that time, he asked me to come back to him, probably because he thought he was lacking. I want to apologize again, and I want to show my sincerity.
‘It’s a good thing for me.’
If you receive an apology, your shoulders will be strained for no reason, and if the professor said he was sincere, wouldn’t even the beans fall?
I know very well that priestly professors are sent from the main school of the Church of Light. It means that he has that much skill and is a high-ranking cleric.
That much wealth and honor follow, and high-ranking priests and wizards own a lot of good things.
If done well, you might receive some pretty useful stuff.
“hello. professor?”
I behaved as always, especially in front of professors, like an ‘aristocrat’ who had learned good manners.
There was no superfluity in the movements, and the accent and tone were classy.
Aren’t there more things to be polite about in front of others when you’re inherently evil? My family is just such people.
“I was wondering if I had to go find you because you weren’t coming, but that worked out.”
“Yes, I came because you asked me to come before.”
Julius got up and prepared a table for me.
Deianne’s sinister gaze pierced me. Dark green hair is unusually thick today. I feel like my makeup is thicker than usual.
Compared to her appearance at the Magical Zoo and Botanical Museum, she seemed to have aged 10 years. The whole body is overflowing with life, from the texture of the skin and hair to the tone of the voice that seems to be very excited.
‘That’s how exciting it is.’
I thought I had missed the ‘Hyven Fragment’, but how happy it must be that Ackerman brought it in intact.
It deserves it.
Even if it’s me, if someone gives me an S-class weapon or item for free, I’ll smile.
First of all, seeing that Deianne temporarily became lively, it seemed that some of the fragments of Hiven had been transplanted.
‘It must be gross.’
She intends to use her body as a sacrifice to resurrect the King of Pride.
Of course, the body of an ordinary human cannot handle that powerful force, and he will fall to Ackerman while weakened.
“Then- I’ll get up now, Julius.”
Deianne said in a charming voice. Julius only nodded curtly.
‘They talk a lot when I’m not around.’
Are you managing images? Well, what about adults? I went inside the professor’s office.
Deianne passed me and put her hand on my shoulder. She smiled strangely and raised her eyebrows.
It could be ignored because he consistently behaved like that towards everyone, but it wasn’t just that.
‘This woman… … .’
The moment Deianne just put her hand on my shoulder, she cast a spell. It wasn’t just magic, it was black magic.
‘Eavesdropping magic… … .’
【Necrotula】 Chapter 2. It is a spell that appears in the upper part of black magic. Although other black magic and black fire spells are a little different.
Basically, this spell engraves an invisible spell on the part that touches the opponent, and through it, you can hear what the opponent is saying even from a distance.
It is a very sophisticated black magic.
The principle of operation of black magic and other magic is subtly different, so ordinary wizards and knights do not easily notice unless they have studied black magic.
Only those who have studied and used black magic can notice the slight difference.
‘What do you mean? They seem to know that I don’t know.’
I pretended not to know at first.
It’s dangerous to show off until you know the intention. Whether it’s for the good or the bad, they seem to be curious because they’re from the same demon worshiper family.
Even so, there was no way they would have noticed that I was at the Magical Fauna. It was because I didn’t release the shadow until Deiane disappeared.
Rather, if I had noticed that, I would have come to visit me openly or approached me a little more threateningly, rather than secretly like this.
“See you tomorrow, Julius?”
Deiane made eye contact with me one more time before closing the door. Why is he winking at Julius… … .
“Hmm. sit there Would you like some tea?”
“Yes.”
Moments later, Julius brought a car with smoke in front of me. Then he sat down across from me.
There was an awkward aura.
I didn’t say anything first. The more silent you are, the more the laggard will speak first. A nobleman’s mouth must be heavy.
Julius glanced at me, then put the teacup down.
“I don’t know what to say first,”
As expected, Julius, impatient, spoke first.
The words that came out of his mouth were apologies. He got up and bowed down to his waist.
“I’m sorry. then that thing. Once again, I sincerely apologize.”
I still remember Julius, who was possessed by madness and attacked me to death.
‘Well, I understand.’
The character setup was like that in the first place.
Because the course of action itself is the annihilation of ‘evil’, and he is a human being full of faith who serves the god of light to the core. He has [Religion] [Justice] [Repentance] set as his personality.
It is said that just hearing the name of ‘Black Fire’, which once followed the demons, is enough to cause a match.
It would be even more shocking that Black Fire entered the Warriors Academy, which nurtures the future talents of this kingdom.
Instead, the Justice is a person who knows how to admit his mistakes and knows how to be ashamed because he is caught.
I see a bandage wrapped around Julius’ arm.
‘That’s… … .’
Perhaps it is a sign of self-harm. He must have confessed his sins to God and scolded his mistakes with an iron whip.
In my eyes, ‘Do I have to go that far?’ It seems a bit overkill, though.
Well, since you’ve reflected so much, you won’t be scolding me anymore, right?
“I understand.”
I am a Pacific hearted person. In particular, he is generous because he is a player who knows the inside story of each character.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Julius sat down again. But I know how to apologize like this, and adults are adults.
If I didn’t admit my fault like a child and attacked to the end, I would have thrown the harpoon away.
Well, thanks to the quick apology, I’m glad I didn’t drag aggro for nothing.
“What is academy life like? I don’t think it will be easy because of people like me.”
The awkward air disappeared a little. Perhaps it was because Julius relieved the burden on his heart, he even asked about his current situation.
I didn’t really want to talk about this topic, but… … I’ll have to deal with the opponent in moderation. That’s because the congo is falling.
“Learning is fun.”
ugh It’s ridiculous even when I say it.
Isn’t that what an elite aristocrat would do?
“Hoo… … That’s a really good attitude. thank god.”
Julius said while drinking tea. He raised his lower lip in surprise.
In the future, the academy life should be done for 3 years. There is no reason to pretend to be with the iron rice bowl professors. Rather, it is best to be seen well by professors.
Yesterday’s enemies are today’s comrades, so it would be nice to have Julius on my side as well.
If there was at least one priest-type professor who sided with the dark magician family, that would be reassuring.
“It will be inconvenient, but stop talking nonsense.”
Julius got up. I followed him with my eyes.
He headed for a cupboard that looked very old.
The cupboard made of maroon wood has golden ornaments here and there, adding to its elegance. And it was full of all kinds of valuables.

Kiik-
Julius opened the cupboard.
“Did I say I was sincere?”
Then he turned to me. He spread his palms as if to look inside the cupboard.
“These are my treasures. I want you to know the truth.”
A treasured item? Stigmatizing a normal student as a sin, and even trying to expel him… … I guess I’m not usually sorry.
I walked to the cupboard. Not looking like a snob, very leisurely and slowly.
“Pick up something you like. I will present it.”
“Isn’t that the professor’s favorite item?”
To be honest, I was surprised. I wanted to scream.
Even if it was sincerity, I thought it was to give a moderately good item, but it wasn’t.
The cherished items of magicians and priests are truly expensive and valuable items that are collected over a lifetime.
It’s something ordinary wizards and priests can’t even dream of.
The value and number of cherished items sometimes represent a person’s status and skills instead. This world was like that.
Giving away your treasured possessions means that your apology to me is ‘sincere’.
“… … Even though.”
I couldn’t accept this at once, so I took a look at Julius. Shouldn’t it usually be rejected twice?
“Even before I change my mind. Since you are a family of magicians, you must know what it means to give a treasured item as a gift, right?”
“sure.”
“Then feel free to do it evenly. Because I really want to apologize.”
done. Enough of this was rejected. From now on, even if I choose a gift, I won’t look like a snob.
I slowly checked the contents of the cupboard. There were things I knew about and things I didn’t know. What they have in common is that they are all precious things.
‘Eredic’s bracelet of light? And here’s this.’
Where did you get the bracelet worn by Eredic, the fallen berserker of the elves? This bracelet is at least a thousand years old in the world of ＜Warriors Kingdom＞.
pleasing to the eye It was hard to contain my excitement. It’s so full of rare items.
This is how much was displayed in the professor’s office, but how amazing things are there in Julius’ home?
Come to think of it, even in my hometown… … ?
Let’s think about whether we can stop by during vacation.
I checked the treasured items in the cupboard again. Now is the time to choose. I was so lost.
There were so many things that I coveted. There were things that helped me in my life, things that helped me fight, and things that helped me grow.
‘I have to consider my current situation first.’
Objectively, I am weak right now. It uses shadows, and even though it’s a sword, it’s not enough.
With this kind of body, you can’t control all the upcoming variables.
It’s a shame that argon is weak even at the Magical Zoo right now.
… … Why does the variable seem to keep increasing?
Anyway, now I have concluded that I need a weapon that will help me overcome my weak specs.
“I will do this.”
After much thought, I picked up a small glass bottle. Julius narrowed his eyes. look surprised
“Oh oh. You also have a good eye.”
What I had in my hand were the tears of Windsorbing. Holy water containing the blessings of the angel of light.
It is a very high quality item compared to demons and monsters, but even a single drop of it touches the skin, causing the monster to struggle in pain. Not only that, but if you feed it to someone who is dominated by the power of demons or poisoned by fatal poison, it will be ‘purified’.
Literally the pinnacle of holiness.
Because the boss of Act 1 is also a demon. It sounds like you need to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
“Tears of Windsorbing. It’s something I got from my father at the academy graduation.”
“Ah, even if I receive something valuable like that… … ”
Why are people burdened with such words?
“No, take it. It’s a gift with a happy heart. Even at your graduation ceremony, I want to give you something.”
Julius closed the cupboard. I see a hand closing the door. It is full of wounds everywhere. If you don’t do this, you can’t stand the guilt.
‘Then I’m happy.’
In my hand, the holy water was shining like a glass marble. Just by looking at it, it feels like the bad thoughts in my heart disappear.
“Give me this. I will teach you how to use it.”
He took me to a small room in the professor’s office.
There was a certain cage, and in it was a small monster, Furry Creek, shackled.
–critical!
“The creek captured for research. See that disgusting hair?”
As expected, Julius has a tremendous hatred for ‘Evil’. When dealing with monsters, there is madness in his eyes.
He took off the lid of Windsorbing’s tears. Then he put two fingers on the opening, flipped it slightly, and turned it.
“Windsorbing’s tears, like this, take effect immediately when they touch a monster.”
Creepy!
Julius sprinkled holy water on the monster. Immediately, the monster struggled in pain.
“Did you see it? Applying holy water to your sword and fighting monsters is most effective. As time goes by, it fills up, so feel free to use it.”
“thank you.”
It’s a somewhat rough method, but the effect was properly confirmed. As expected, ‘Ma’ is a merciless human being.
However, the effect of the holy water was not limited to demons. The ability to heal wounds is also excellent.
“professor?”
“Well?”
He was puzzled when he saw my hand handing me holy water.
“Professor puts this on too.”
“What is that… … ”
Others don’t know, but I know this guy hurt himself.
Is it because of guilt towards me? Broad generosity must also be the knowledge of the ‘noble’.
I pointed to his wounds with a wink.
“Hmm. haha. See you again sometime.”
He lowered his sleeves to cover the slightly exposed bandages.
“Did you notice?”
“I’m really fine, so stop worrying about it.”
Julius’s pupils trembled.
done! This would have earned him goodwill.
“Whoa. You really make me feel ashamed the more I see you. But I’ll take your heart Seeing these wounds, I must not make the same mistake again.”
“is that so.”
I’ve done this, but there’s nothing special about the specifications. We returned to the professor’s office again.
“Is class over for today?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah, good job. Then you should go in and rest. I have to go to work soon too.”
Julius started walking around and tidying up the desk.
I stood blankly and watched it. Wouldn’t it be nice to just use things like this and just leave?
‘This isn’t even an ordinary thing.’
Let’s be [aristocratic]. I waited until he asked me to go out again.
“Are you still out? What more do you have to say?”
Julius, who found me belatedly. It’s like seeing a ghost face. When you look at my face, you understand.
Because the more you crave black magic, the darker your dark circles become.
“I want to say hello again.”
“All right. What is a greeting?”
Whoa Whoa. Julius treats me with a 180 degree change from before. He’s kind, but even gives me the impression that he’s a bit difficult for me.
In the end, I only slightly bowed my back and left Julius’s professor’s office.
* * *
Confronting Julius was easy. My relationship with him was clearly decided from the beginning, so I wasn’t even nervous.
Moreover, it has also seen significant gains.
The Tears of Windsorbing.
I feel a sense of sanctity. Even if you have it, it seems that you can defeat the evil group. Even just opening the lid and spraying it would be quite lethal to the demons.
Besides, it would be a perfect match with my specialty, [Descendants of the Sword Saint]. Holy tears for holy swordsmanship. Synergy is more than double!
‘I’m fine. I’ll have to try it out soon.’
Windsorbing’s tears were stored in her arms.
I made significant gains from an unexpected place, but in fact, that was not the real purpose of my coming to Gakdong-dong.
My real purpose is to look at Deianne’s changes. Even the slightest change that happened to her must be caught.
It’s because I need to know why Deian didn’t show up right away, but someone else, and someone I didn’t know at all.
Well, there’s no chance of figuring out the reason right away, but we’ll do our best.
Only then will the final phase of Act 1, which will take place in the future, be completed safely. All variables will be blocked.
After putting everything back to normal?
It’s the beginning of a comfortable academy life again!
When the first act is over, since it’s vacation, I plan to hang out like a madman. Eat some delicious food and get some rest.
… … To do that, it’s about struggling now.
‘I’m sure Deianne was listening, right?’
The ‘eavesdropping’ magic on my shoulder was still working.
It’s obviously unpleasant, but I didn’t.
‘Rather, this is good.’
It was because he had a reason to go find Deiane.
Deianne may have thought that I would not notice, but I am the owner of the [Necrotula] secret book of black magic.
Rather, you can use this as an excuse to go and try to talk.
Even if I go to visit, it is certain that the reaction will be surprising or interesting rather than negative.
‘If it’s Deian, it’s a hundred fudge.’
She is a woman who does a lot of toxic things under the pretext of pranks.
It feels like a spider that wraps itself up in a spider’s web in an instant if you’re not careful.
It’s not too difficult to be slick.
It’s really tricky, especially if you play with Ackerman, who is closer to the honest side.
But I’m not an Ackerman breed… … It’s about Deianne.
I went to the garden behind the faculty building where Deianne often stays. It’s cigarette time for her by now.
Water flowed pleasantly from the garden fountain.
The sound of birds tickles your ears, and the scent of flowers is subtle.
However, there was someone who interrupted the scent of the flowers, so as expected, Deianne was smoking deliciously while leaning against the fountain.
She looked at me and subtly raised one corner of her mouth.
“Oh, Aren student?”
as if you’ve been waiting
