Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 2

2 – Cleaning

ㅡI’ll go. Meet nice people

With that said, the woman left.

A man pulled my ear as I stood blankly for a while.

They say I’m the cleaning man or something. Judging by her outfit, she must be a janitor.

In the end, I was dragged to the bathroom, but I didn’t have time to worry about anything like that. Right now, the priority was to sort out the confusing thoughts.

What happened to me?

Judging by the normal breathing, he is not dead. Judging by the fact that there is no discomfort in the senses, it is not that he suffers from hallucinations.

“What are you doing, student? Receive.”

An elderly cleaner hands over a bucket and mop this way.

I think that girl is a student. I think this person is a cleaner.

“Where is this?”

“Toilet.”

“I know it’s a bathroom. What I ask is an institution.”

“It’s Marchen Academy. No, but this guy… Why are you talking half?”

Marchen Academy? There is no such academy among the academies I know of.

The honey chestnut lands on your head with a booming sound.

“!”

The feeling of being hit by someone didn’t surprise me. However, it is shocking that he quickly stretched out his arm but could not block it.

‘My arms are short.’

So even though I stretched it correctly, I couldn’t block it.

Not only the voice is different, but the body is also different.

His voice is thinner than his own, and his body is short. Even the clothes you are wearing are close to uniforms.

“Mirror.”

“Should I clean the mirror first?”

The man pointed her chin at the mirror and she ran straight in front of him.

“This is… “

It’s not me.

The degree of ‘getting younger’ was the maximum side effect he thought of. However, this is literally not Kaplan at all.

His proud white hair had become black, and his eyes were red.

Aside from that, the contours of his face and body shape were like never before in his life.

Elegance and elegance. And the sharp face that was full of confidence towards himself is nowhere to be found.

A boy’s face that looks too young, no matter how serious he makes it, he just looks like he’s complaining. Young and white

His jawline and nose are sharp, but because he was skinny, he looked slightly sickly.

“Student. I should just put the book down and clean it up. You don’t have to be quick to get home that fast.”

“Cleaning?”

When was the last time you cleaned up?

It’s not easy to accept cleaning before you even understand the situation.

“The student is in charge of this. I’ll come after cleaning the bathroom across the street.”

“Hmm.”

That is the end of communication. He went to another bathroom as if he was going to stick to his job.

Combine the given information.

This is the academy. The girl who dumped me earlier is a student. The cleaners are instructing me now.

And what made the situation…

‘Because I’m also a student at this academy, and I’m not good at basic magic?’

His gaze was directed towards 『Basic Magic』 Tightly held in his hand.

‘A student who doesn’t even know this?’

The sense of incongruity is great.

The mana flowing through the inside of the body belonged to the pure side. Unpolished, but in other words untainted by anything.

With such excellent conditions, why did you find a professor without understanding these things?

Interest rises.

Of course, I’m not the original owner of the body, but it’s always fun to prove something new.

Especially if it’s something that others can’t experience.

“Which part was difficult?”

I opened the book with a smile.

◈

‘Is it a mine again?’

Craig’s expression crumpled. His hand gripping the wheat rag nervously tightens.

Being able to use magic in this world is a story that points to the blessed.

He belongs to the unblessed side and works as a cleaner at the academy.

At Marchen Academy, in order to shame the students, they often assign Craig to help with the cleaning…

“I wonder how good the children who grew up as precious would do if they cleaned up.”

First of all, these guys have never cleaned properly.

Second, these are the guys who don’t like cleaning.

After all, Craig will clean everything up today and go home.

Fortunately, he’s a male student, so he won’t be crying in the bathroom.

Craig wanted to bite his tongue once in a while as he soothed the crying students who were blessed with magic.

I hate children who grew up precious.

That bastard. Just because he was cleaning at the academy, he said something bad about him.

But that was then.

The sound of flowing water. He must have just turned off the faucet after washing the mop. I checked and it is also locked.

But I can still hear the sound. Oh yeah. In the bathroom across the street.

Come to think of it, if water flows from a faucet, it doesn’t make this kind of sound.

It was such an unusual sound that Craig eventually couldn’t contain his curiosity and moved on.

One step. One step.

As you approach, the sound becomes clearer to your ears. And what comes into sight—

“What… “

A scene where a boy handles water freely.

He opened the book with one hand and held his chin with the other.

They don’t even look at the empty space, but the water droplets form letters and stick to them as if letters are written on a blackboard.

Craig doesn’t know how to use magic. That is determined at birth.

So, even if he saw the spell, he couldn’t understand it. It is a natural procedure.

But nonetheless.

‘It’s beautiful.’

Just because it was beautiful, Craig just stared at the sight he couldn’t understand.

◈

“What is the foundation?”

『Basic Magic』 Was enough to draw my attention. It’s definitely not a basic level, but the title brazenly says ‘basic’.

With that alone, I could guess the level of this academy. It is expected that some pretty good talents gathered.

“It’s not my taste to write dirty books.”

Still, a book with tattered underlines is a bonus in its own way.

It wasn’t long before I discovered the regularity.

When classifying magic series, use a blue triangle.

Red circles indicate the ratio of mana that must be kept, and yellow underlines indicate the circuit that circulates mana.

“It must have been difficult for you.”

I don’t know his exact age, but his body is young.

Harmony is difficult to pursue at a young age because it requires great delicacy.

At what age did I learn this? Old thoughts come to mind.

Seeing how tattered the paper is, he must have wanted to prove to the world that he understood this more than anyone else.

“Help me.”

Harmony is, simply put, a way to connect magic, and at least two magics are needed to connect.

Depending on the two types of prepared magic, the way to connect them varies to the extent that the arc differs.

It is safe to say that it is almost a different field.

The most representative are fire and water.

Draws a flame spell in the air. It was the first magic I used with this body, but I never worried about failure.

Why, Kaplan is Kaplan after all, and Archmage is Archmage fraud after all.

Unsurprisingly, the fire rises in the air.

I don’t like the firepower, but it’s still good enough to connect.

Next up is water.

Since the remaining amount of mana was already at stake, instead of generating this, I decided to borrow nearby water.

When the two magics are ready, substitute them into the spells written in the textbook.

That spell that the original owner of the body would not have understood even if he had set more than 10 stars.

Eventually, two elements that could never be combined come together.

Steam rising with a loud sound announces the beginning of full-fledged harmony.

The consumption of mana is enormous.

Of course, it is explained in the textbook to ‘understand’ rather than ‘try’.

However, I’m the type to be freed only when I prove it.

At least this moment, moving toward a new proof in a pitiful body, can be called happier than when looking down at the wizards of the Mage Tower.

Hwaaak—!

From noble mtl dot com

Fog that spreads thickly like fog. It stirs up the currents around it and reaps them in an instant.

What remains before your eyes is a spell written in water droplets.

… No, to be precise, they should have stayed, but they couldn’t.

Paradoxically, it tried to manifest a flame burning on the water droplets, but it failed spectacularly and turned into steam.

Just a drop.

A flame burns a little on a drop of water and then turns into steam with a cacophony.

‘It really failed completely.’

Literally.

I failed so shamefully that I couldn’t even lift my head.

I understood, but I didn’t get it.

This is because the current body is so pathetic that it cannot follow the overwhelming theory.

I closed the book with a click.

After all, I am still weak.

It was about that time that I met the eyes of the wide-eyed janitor.

“Is the cleaning over there already?”

Since when did you start watching, in fact, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been watching.

A mist full of moisture filled the bathroom and escaped.

There was no way that dust or grime could resist the act of overflowing mana.

Therefore, today’s toilets are cleaner than ever.

By. Because that’s what I had to do.

“This side is about to end, too.”

He just laughs leisurely.
