82 – Experiments
The professors were giving off the urge to stand up and shut me up right now.
But this is a speech by the chief of admissions.
I couldn’t help but stop it.
It would be catastrophic for the entire entrance ceremony to be disrupted just because one student was blocked from speaking.
Besides, this is what common sense can say.
It’s not about exaggerating things that don’t exist.
“The examiner who administered the test? The faculty who planned and conducted the exam?”
Representatively, when I mentioned someone who would be responsible, I saw the professor trying to get up to restrain me.
Still, I haven’t crossed the line yet.
But I had no intention of holding the faculty accountable.
There was no way to stop the conspiracy itself by the demon king.
If there hadn’t been a deal between the royal family and the demon king, this kind of misfortune would never have happened.
So I thought of making them aware of the enemy.
“But they are not the ones to take responsibility.”
I was trying to drive the professor and the examiner, but suddenly turned it off, and people made a puzzled expression.
You have to be careful here.
Frankly, the royal family was wrong. If you go out like this, you will only live with resentment.
It is the role of this speech to elicit at least and moderate references.
“There is a background. A person who causes the deaths of many people and has to take responsibility, no, a sinner who has to pay the price.”
Having said that, I shut my mouth.
Faculty and some aristocrats fell into astonishment.
You wouldn’t know that my words are unacceptable behavior.
I saw students raising their hands as if they couldn’t hold back their curiosity.
Who knows, but it’s not a widespread fact.
He must have tried to cover up the progress of the crown prince leading and directing this test as much as possible.
“Then who is it?”
“I cannot tell you.”
Not yet.
If you’re curious, come and ask.
Then I will tell you the full course without paying attention.
But professors are different.
Under direct instruction from the crown prince, he organized a test to deal with lower-level demons in the woods.
There was no professor who didn’t know that the Crown Prince had to take responsibility and pay for his crimes.
“If I speak here, it is because I could be in danger.”
The speech continued in a tumultuous atmosphere.
After that, he recited a formal story written by Fran.
Certainly, Fran, who has read a lot of books, wrote a neat and tidy speech.
Originally, he had intended to incite the name of the crown prince openly.
He intended to dye them in the color of revolution, but the Sword Master shook his head, saying that it was not a good method.
The biggest problem is giving the crown prince a justification.
Now, the crown prince could not recklessly attack me and my family by moving the executive branch.
It is highly likely that other nobles will regard this as tyranny and side with House Britten, which will soon lead to a rebellion that will overthrow the royal family.
Conversely, what if I made a completely hostile statement against the royal family?
The crown prince is given the least justification.
Even if the executive moves, some nobles will agree.
It wasn’t that I was standing still, it was because I was attacked while fighting against the royal family.
So, it was right to leave it vague and without mentioning it accurately.
When he finished his speech, he went downstairs, and applause continued quietly.
Their eyes were questioning who the true culprit was in this case.
That alone is enough.

“W-Isn’t that something that needs to be expelled right away?!”
For the faculty, it was like a huge bomb exploding.
In order to rectify what happened during the practical training, the Crown Prince silenced the officials and paid a huge bribe to the faculty to deal with it as much as possible.
The bereaved family was also given a huge amount of compensation, and if the scion of a high-ranking aristocrat was sacrificed, the professor personally visited and apologized. will be.
But it wasn’t just this reaction.
“…Still, aren’t you feeling refreshed?”
“We only have the sin of doing what we are told to do.”
Since the Crown Prince, who should have been responsible for this, did not take responsibility, the responsibility naturally passed to the faculty.
It is the professor who manages and conducts the exam, but who else will be responsible for it?
There were many professors who were not very happy with this situation.
How many insults are you getting for this?
What a great disgrace you have suffered.
In addition, it is a yard where there are professors who take responsibility and take off their clothes.
In addition, the professor with a righteous heart did not like the crown prince’s evasion of responsibility.
If today there were no accusations from the top entrants, there would be professors who would have whistled.
The response was favorable and hostile, but nothing changed.
If everyone reacted badly to that student, he could have expulsion, but there were many professors who objected.
In this case, it was the dean who was in trouble.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the dean simply came to a conclusion.
“It has nothing to do with us anyway.”
“Why don’t you care? Dean.”
“If he makes an accusation, it will eventually become a fight between the crown prince and his student. There won’t be a shrimp back bursting with the faculty members in between.”
Faculty here agreed.
The professors were worried that they would incur the wrath of the crown prince, or that they would incur the wrath of the bereaved family by hiding the whole story of the case, but they had many excuses.
It is clear that the prince’s anger will go entirely to that student, and the resentment of the bereaved family will go to the crown prince, who is the culprit of the incident and the person who silenced it.
Let’s judge that there is nothing to be greatly harmed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“At first, the student told me. Professors and examiners are not responsible… .”
“He gave us cool things to say that we wanted to hear.”
On the contrary, the faculty saw no reason to take on this further.
I took responsibility for nothing because of the pressure from the crown prince, but looking back, I didn’t have to.
“…Rather, it seems that we were being unfairly treated.”
“That’s right. How much you suffer because of the crown prince.”
Rather, the atmosphere itself has changed, such as spitting out anger at the crown prince.
Looking at this, the dean muttered quietly.
“…I wonder if you were aiming for this?”
The professors began to oppose the crown prince and cheered the student on.
Realizing that he had truly aimed, the dean covered his goosebumps skin with both hands and moved on.
The old, retired dean no longer wanted to be involved.
I just wanted to spend my last years quietly.
**
After the speech, I left the entrance ceremony in a subtle atmosphere.
I didn’t care about anything, and we were assigned to our own dormitories.
Since everyone is in class 1, everyone got the best dormitory where only class 1 could stay.
As in the previous entrance exam, it seems that there is no distinction between men and women.
Asher, who was assigned a room far away from me, found a room right away while feeling sorry for him.
Her method was to get the room.
“The person staying in the room next to Argal… . Shall I yield?”
“That is individual freedom.”
I’m not sure about that.
I can’t accept it if I don’t want to give it up.
However, Asher, who held the spear tightly, let out a bloody sound, assuming that he couldn’t give up the room next door with just one refusal.
“If you can’t, forcefully… .”
“What is that person guilty of?”
“oooh.”
Asel lacked common sense, there were many things to stop.
Press her head hard.
Raeli said, holding the dorm room number high next to him and posing triumphantly.
“The room right next to me is mine!”
“I’m in the next room next door… . I am still satisfied.”
Raeli and Fran were given a good room.
Asher, who has been away for a while, must feel a little lonely.
However, living together in the same building and seeing each other every day, I wonder why it is so important that the rooms are close.
Asher, who was stopped by me, did not stop here and aimed his spear at Raeli.
“Raeli… . It’s a bet, if I win, let’s change rooms.”
“You don’t like it? What the hell is the need to make a bet you’re sure to lose?”
“Ugh… !”
As Asher was swallowing his anger, I stopped.
A being that suddenly appeared with the power of magic.
The mage closest to transcendence.
In a way, it may be the person you finally meet after the practical exam.
She was still in perfect shape, scratching at her sloppy clothes and sloppy-trimmed hair.
Ophelia told me what to take.
“It’s your turn to tell the story.”
I was troubled in front of Professor Ophelia, who brought up exactly what she wanted.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if
Because the pole I got before returning came from the professor.
But it was a waste to just give it away.
Besides, I had something to get from her.
“If you do me one favor, I will do it.”
“…for what? Having saved his life before, it should be enough to get the final blow.”
“Not enough at all!”
Frank shouted proudly here.
It did save my life.
But that life is the life of an immortal.
It wasn’t enough to pay for it.
Fran, who was about to bring out such a claim, closed her mouth again and looked at me.
Strictly speaking, the fact that she was an immortal could not be recklessly announced, so the logic she had to bring out was blocked.
but i just said
Anyway, the professor was the most meaningless opponent even if he knew the immortals.
It’s not like they’re going to suddenly rush out and kidnap me and experiment on the human body, saying they’re curious about the body of an immortal.
He was a wizard who only ran for the sake of the extreme, and he was a wizard who had the least interest in me being an immortal even before returning.
“I am the Undead Professor Ophelia.”
“…then the price isn’t enough.”
The professor nodded without questioning whether I was an immortal or not.
After all, he is a peculiar human being.
she asked afterwards.
“Then what do you need?”
What I need most.
And what only Professor Ophelia can succeed.
That is to engrave a mana circle that can also be used with black magic.
The problem is that black magic and magic cannot coexist historically, no theoretically, realistically, and even as an absolute law.
If you put magic and mana into one body, they collide with each other and the whole body explodes.
However, I was able to use both black magic and magic in an expedient way.
Magi is contained in a dagger, and mana is amplified by a necklace.
However, this had limitations.
Magiya can use as much as he has accumulated, so it’s okay, but mana is always lacking.
Even if I fight in the best condition, I won’t be able to defeat the transcendental in the end.
Therefore, the mana circle must be engraved on the body.
The problem is that you can’t use black magic.
Because the moment the demonic energy is thrust into the body to use black magic, the body will explode.
Therefore, my purpose is to engrave a mana circle that can use black magic by conducting human experiments with Professor Ophelia’s knowledge and me, an immortal.
That way, I was able to grasp the strength to jump one level higher.
When I said this, Professor Ophelia smiled deeply.
I know very well what kind of smile it is.
She was very interested in this.
