006. black magic (3)
When I went down to the first floor of the dormitory, an elderly gentleman and a girl who seemed to be my age were waiting for me.
The outfits and appearances of the two were very old-fashioned.
“young master. sorry. I was supposed to come down at 5 o’clock, but he didn’t come out for an hour, so I contacted him. Please forgive my rudeness.”
“Please forgive me.”
As soon as the old man saw me, he bowed down and apologized. The girl next to him also bowed her head.
Well, I guess these two are my butlers, seeing as they call me Bocchan. It’s a very old family, so having a butler is a common thing.
It seems I was supposed to meet them at 5:00.
They were also wearing black suits and red scarves tucked in their chests, befitting people who served the Blackfire family.
“it’s okay.”
The old butler and the maid looked a little surprised. They looked into each other’s eyes for a moment and seemed to be looking at me.
“thank you. But, why are you suddenly respecting me… … ?”
“It’s strange, Bocchan.”
Oops! Is this guy who doesn’t speak respectfully to his butler? It’s strange to show respect to people below you in the first place.
But I was still more comfortable using honorifics for people older than me. Because I am a 21st century Korean.
“Coming to the academy, I always try to be polite. We have to be respectful to the instructors.”
“Oh oh-“
“… … !”
The old butler joined hands in admiration. The maid also opened her eyes wide in surprise. As if I had done something great.
‘Is it because it’s a game character… … The reaction is good even for trivial things.’
The old butler gripped his chest and said.
“That Dalglish, I was impressed by your mature heart! Isn’t that right, Annie?”
“Really.”
That’s true… … It’s like nothing. At this point, I feel even more burdened. Even if I breathe, I’m going to praise you very much.
The old butler, who was looking at me happily, raised his eyebrows as if he had realized something.
“Oops. How was your class assignment? The results must have come out, right?”
“I expect it to be magic.”
no. Where is the battle?
I told the truth Dalglish and Annie were startled.
“Yes? Are you a fighter? how… … .”
“It is strange.”
Dalglish sighed heavily, and Annie wiggled her fingers nervously.
After a while, Dalglish opened his mouth.
“Now that I think about it, it’s not completely nonsense.”
“No… … Yes?”
Annie, who had been copying the ending thoughtlessly, looked up at Dalglish.
“animated film? Who was the first head of the great Blackfire family?”
“If invited… … Tahar Blackfire, ah!”
Annie clapped her hands. It seems that something has been found out.
“Yes, he is called the strongest holy sword in the history of the kingdom.”
“Then, please.”
The two looked at me at the same time as if salty. I’m good at talking about things that don’t interest me.
“… … You have inherited the richness of his blood.”
“Somehow, I thought it was unusual.”
“Is it really?”
“Really.”
While the two of them were exchanging jokes, I stopped yawning in order not to be [aristocratic].
“Oh, it looks like you’ve been holding onto the young master too much. You must be tired.”
“I’m sorry, Bocchan.”
I finished yawning and waved my hand. It’s okay.
“Then tell me what you need.”
“I’ll get you anything.”
When Dalglish talks, Annie always adds.
Anyway, these guys came here to buy my house and wait on me. That means I can pamper myself as much as I want.
It just went well. The need for me to suffer is gone.
If you want to get black magic ingredients, it would be much better to get them through these guys than to get them myself. I save time, save energy, kill two birds with one stone.
‘I’ll be less suspicious.’
“There is something I need to get urgently.”
“Oh, what is it?”
“I will hurry up and get it.”
Both were very active. Just by looking into his eyes, he is willing to give up his life for me.
“I need the breast of a chicken I just caught and a piece of pure steel.”
“Oh oh. If that’s the case, it won’t be difficult.”
“Fresh chicken, pieces of steel… … memo.”
Dalglish and Annie nodded confidently. Annie was even taking notes in her notebook.
“Please wait until the curfew. Because it is absolutely necessary.”
“Leave it to me.”
“I am confident.”
Annie clenched her fists. The old butler smiled and looked at me happily. It seems that we get along better than we thought.
“… … Yes. then.”
“If you need anything, please feel free to tell us through the contact bead. Security has been enhanced. Requested items will be uploaded and sent through the dormitory manager. Please do your best. If you are a young boy, you will surely shine in the battle world. We will cheer you on.”
“Fighting, Bocchan.”
Dalglish handed me a fist-sized black pearl. It is a communication tool often used in this world. Seeing that it was black, it must have been specially made by the family.
The two bowed politely, then vanished like the wind.
I realized it belatedly, but the existence of those two is quite noticeable.
An old man with white hair, a red-eyed woman with black hair. The outfit is a suit and a red scarf.
It is a visual that makes you turn your head at least once after passing by. It’s definitely different from the normal servants.
Thanks to that, even after they left, their eyes were quite focused on me.
‘… … Ah, this isn’t it.’
I was embarrassed and wanted to run, but I kept my [aristocratic] appearance as much as possible.
Pretending that nothing is wrong, walking with the utmost dignity, and clearly.

When I returned to my room, I saw a black magic book floating in the air. I could faintly see Tae, but judging from the fact that I couldn’t see it in the mirror, it seemed like it was only visible to my eyes.
Thanks to this, I have less to worry about where to hide it. Very stuff, stuff.
The problem arose when I opened this black magic book.
it will reappear.
In front of my eyes, the 3rd year of the priest class is asleep, but I can’t help but notice it while reading this openly.
In the end, I felt like I should read the book of black magic when I was alone. I don’t have a good perception, but I don’t want to get into a fight.
So, to pass the time, I started doing various bare-body exercises that were not even in my arms.
Push-ups, squats, legs and more.
It was a very weak body, so even a little bit made me exhausted. … … There is a long way to go.
The more I think about it, the more black magic feels like a necessity to me.
How many hours passed like that… … My roommate Viktor opened his eyes. Her face seemed to have aged quite a bit in a matter of hours.
“uh? there was still Where are you going? Aren’t there freshman parties?”
That was the first word. why don’t you go out
I was still contacted with a notice, but why am I going there?
‘Not all insiders like you.’
Especially in the case of me, if I go out and don’t get hit, it’s fortunate.
“I like being alone.”
“okay?”
Viktor wakes up scratching his head.
He walked past me into the shower and washed up.
Then he started to change into plain clothes.
‘Am I leaving again?’
great, great
“There’s a party to celebrate the freshmen. They asked me to come, so you have to be able to refuse.”
Even though I didn’t ask, Victor speaks naturally. I was not particularly interested in the topic, so I just nodded my head. That’s right.
“Do you want to go too?”
“No, thanks.”
You definitely need to draw a line at the beginning of the semester. Otherwise, you might end up being called out without end.
“Hmm, that would be fun. Well, since I’m close with the kids, I’ll introduce you too. This is a tip from a senior, but going to the academy alone is filthy boring? And when I go out on a mission, it’s more comfortable and fun if I know a lot of people.”
Even though it’s okay, it’s persevering. Are you listening to others in the first place? Seeing as he smiles and talks constantly, his affinity is definitely the best.
Viktor talked well to himself even if I didn’t bother to answer.
“I’m going to stay out tonight. On the first day of school, you must stay out. I should tell you before it’s too late that I’m going to sleep out. Anyway! Later, when we have free time, let’s have a late-night snack together. Keep your room well!”
thud. So Viktor went out after talking hard to himself. under… … Peace has finally come. It’s crazy, really.
A bible and a cross lay pathetically on his bed.

A message came through my student ID and Black Pearl.
– Aren Blackfire. Items are stored in the management office on the first floor of the dormitory.
– As you mentioned, raw chicken breast and a piece of pure steel. You got it with the highest quality, you’ll be satisfied. I will always support you.
Aeonia was stained with evil. Resist!
My attendants posted the goods 30 minutes before curfew.
‘Is it fast?’
not bad. In the future, I can ask Dalglish and Annie to ask for black magic materials.
The requested item was wrapped in a black box with a red ribbon.
‘Look at how consistent the family concept is.’
From clothes to trivial objects, black & red are adhered to. One aggro sucks. I can’t do this… … .
The box looks just like high-end packaging, but in reality it has an elaborate order.
Unless it is a certified black fire, a black fire will burn the item the moment it is opened.
It is a security device in case of an unexpected situation.
It’s because he’s already been caught committing a crime once, so he’s very thorough. No, it’s funny that I didn’t intend to fix it in the first place, but rather dug into the dark.
Anyway i like it very much It’s under tight security, so no one will know what I’m doing.
Again, I just need to suck on the honey.
There are freshly caught chicken breasts and shimmering pieces of steel. Maybe it’s because of my mood that I’m somehow reminded of health.
All materials were obtained here.
Just exercise like this, read the black magic book and wait for the time.

It is 1:10 am now.
After taking a shower, I stood in the shower room with my body and mind clean.
Royal blue tiles made with magic adorn the space, and soft yellow lights are shining on me.
Because it was a royal academy, the facilities were amazing.
The floor is full of water because he just finished taking a shower. Everything is ready.
“Prepare raw chicken breast, a piece of high-purity steel, and hair from a shaman.”
He recalled the black magic ritual.
Magical power was very full, probably because everyone around here were students. Magical power overflows even in the air.
I thought it would still be insufficient, so I put the book of black magic nearby. He’s a guy who drains mana just by being there, so it’s helpful.
In other words, it has all the conditions for a place full of mana and negative energy.
Chicken breasts and steel pieces were placed on the tile floor. Blood is seeping out of the breast, which is still less bloody.
“Oh, take it.”
I pulled my hair out. Since I am the sorcerer, I need my hair. It was carefully placed on top of the chicken.
It is a combination of protein and iron.
It seems like a trivial material, but it is the optimal combination that came out after hundreds of years of research.
Who would have thought to cast a spell with such an outlandish combination?
It must have come about after dozens of millions of trials and errors.
It takes a lot of time and effort to figure out the right ingredients and even the right spells. It was probably too much for a normal human to do.
so… … It must have borrowed the power of the demons. It must have been a great temptation.
Of course, that has nothing to do with me. I just-
“You should only drink honey.”
Thank you. Former Black Fire!
It’s time. It is 1:13.
The time when magic and yin energy are most abundant. The magic within my body is also in its purest state during the day.
It’s the best time to use magic.
I closed my eyes and focused my mind.
Then, in a low voice, he began to recite the order.
“Sandaeo Baek.”
After reciting the spell, a purple magic circle appeared on the floor. It is a shape in which one pillar penetrates three overlapping circles. Mana begins to gather around the material.
“Sandaeo Baek.”
Second. The air in the shower began to move rapidly. The water that had pooled on the ceiling dripped. Not only that, but the water on the floor started to gather in one place.
Magic power and water created a puddle.
“Sandaeo Baek!”
As I chanted the last spell, my mana went out.
Power: [1/20]
Hwareuk!
At the same time, a black flame burned. It gobbled up the magic power in the pool of magic power, and then, like alcohol, it quickly wiped the water away.
The water evaporated, and the ingredients started to burn. The fire was so strong that the chicken breast and my hair instantly turned to ashes, and the pieces of steel melted into molten iron after a short time.
All of this happened in an instant.
The black fire disappeared as if it never happened. There wasn’t even leftovers.
It was as if nothing really had happened. There are no traces of black magic or even the scorch of black fire.
The shower room is in like new condition. What’s left is the ashes left over from burning, the melted iron, and the soft light that shines on me unchangingly.
“what?”
Nothing really changed.
Even when I look around, the shower room and my body are the same as before.
… … Only one. Well, except for the ‘shadow’ wriggling strangely under my feet.
