Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 31

31 – How can you try to cast that ‘order’?

The next night at 11:50.

It was only 10 minutes before midnight. I’m pushing myself to the limit on the training ground.

Evaluation was put on hold, and the professor gave the students a week of free time. Thanks to that, I was able to focus only on training.

“Whoa.”

I opened my eyes while capturing mana and breathing at the same time. The body is unusually light. I took off the sweaty top completely.

I could feel that the mana circulating through her body was becoming purer day by day, perhaps thanks to her getting used to the training methods of this world.

Her total amount of mana is also increasing, albeit slowly. She can be confident that she is not mean to pretend.

At that time, a corpse came into the training ground.

“…… Hey, flan.”

Looking closely, it was not a corpse, but a girl with red hair. When I looked even more closely, it was Becky.

I haven’t seen her for only a day, but her appearance is so haggard that it can’t be compared to yesterday.

‘A summary would be quite useful.’

The performance of the original assignment and the writer’s health are inversely proportional. I gladly accepted the bundle of papers Becky offered.

“Did you summarize all 8 books?”

“… I looked through all 8 volumes. However, the contents cannot be guaranteed.”

He nodded his head in deep satisfaction. Becky had great talent as a ‘slave’.

“Anyway, I did it… ? Hey, can I contact Trivia now? Eh, huh?”

Becky, who had been staggering with his hand on his forehead, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“F, flan…. You body….”

He points at my body with his index finger, then looks around with wide open eyes.

If I had to argue, I think this side should feel ashamed, but it was Becky’s face that was turning red.

“Originally…. Was your body always this good?”

Of course, the chaste and cheerful flow of mana also affects the wizard’s body.

A change that can be seen with the naked eye is finally starting to come to this humble and lowly body.

My shoulders and biceps came to life, and my lats and abs started to take shape little by little.

It’s at the level of just starting to grow, but compared to before, the difference is clear.

“So to sum it up.”

I continued talking to Becky.

“Last time and this time too. Did you observe my body?”

“What, what, what?”

Becky’s face gets even redder.

“What, what are you talking about? If you are naked like that, of course you can see it! Do you know what a pervert I am?”

Steam seemed to rise above her head as she frantically stirred her hands.

I don’t have the time to understand that eccentricity. I began to use telekinesis to hang the abridged version from Becky in the air.

With her hand, she opened 『How Healing Magic Became the Center of Controversy』.

Trixie put this book in the designated location this morning as per my request.

However, I didn’t just let it go. It was confirmed that it was enchanted to track its location, so it was immediately dispelled.

‘Location Tracking….’

In a way, he’s cute, but in a way, he’s cocky. Since it was the first time, I thought it was aegyo and decided to move on.

Thanks to Trixie, my thoughts on ‘Location Tracking’ continued a little longer.

‘Is it really necessary to do that?’

It seems that there is no need to insert one’s own summons into Trivia.

I think Trivia itself will serve as a location tracker if it is modified well.

I nodded and put that thought in the corner of my head.

I’ll adapt Trivia to my taste later when I get some free time.

First of all, a comparison of the contents of healing.

Compare the contents of the summary opened with yeomdong and the contents of the book opened by hand.

Any world has all kinds of variables. Even if you look only at the evaluation of this exploration right now, it is the same.

If it hadn’t been for the Fountain of Essence, no matter how well you survived in the air, you would have ended up on the ground.

Minimal fracture. Maximum death.

No matter how hard they train their bodies, a wizard’s body is not as strong as a knight’s.

If you have a defect in your body due to not being able to respond quickly to variables, the best thing to say is to adjust your power through recovery.

That’s why healing magic is essential. It will be a great insurance for me in a world where not much is known yet.

“…… There’s nothing wrong.”

Healing in this world is divided into two ranks.

Superficial treatment. And myogenic therapy.

Superficial treatment is a treatment that stops at the level of energizing and restoring shallow wounds.

However, source treatment is magic that literally heals the ‘root’ of the target. Mental power, memory, missing body parts…. As expected, it is taboo.

“Hmm.”

Looking at the technique, the level of difficulty of superficial treatment is not high. I think I could use it right now.

“Becky.”

“Huh? Heh, huh?!”

I put my hand on Becky’s nape without asking permission.

It’s a little jarring that she trembles all over her body.

I recalled the superficial treatment technique imprinted in my mind. Before long, the captured mana flows gently into Becky’s body.

“Uh…. What?”

The tension in Becky’s body was gradually released, and Becky’s complexion improved to the extent that you could see it with the naked eye.

She opened and closed her fists to see if she felt it too.

“What? I suddenly wake up from sleep.”

As expected, it is a success.

I’d like to ask you to summarize a few more books as you wake up from sleepiness, but I put up with it because it’s healing magic that’s causing controversy by misusing it in this way.

In what direction should research be conducted and how should it be used to create a big wave in this world? This is a topic that needs further consideration in the future.

…… While thinking about such things, I suddenly felt a burdensome gaze.

Becky was still looking at me. Break through that too.

“What is it?”

“No, I’m not going to tell you what it is. Hey that…. Flan.”

Becky continued, scratching her cheeks.

“Perfume…. Aren’t you going shopping together?”

“I’m busy.”

“What?!”

Becky yelled out loud.

“We decided to go shopping together! I knew how to live today and came out without perfume….”

“I’ll give you gold coins, so buy it yourself.”

“Hey…. That’s too much….”

Tears started forming in Becky’s deer-like eyes.

“Don’t cry. Mana consumption efficiency gets worse.”

“Oh, no…. Are you crazy… ?”

I looked back on my day for a moment.

First of all, I finished all the training I could do today.

I don’t think the study of healing magic will be as difficult as I thought, and it was a bad idea to treat the assistant only with a whip.

She checked to see if there was time to give her her carrot. She doesn’t spend a lot of time on meals, so she has about thirty minutes to spare.

She finally nodded.

“Becky.”

I called her name quietly.

“What. Why. It’s okay…. I’ll just buy the perfume myself…. It’s done.”

Becky was already fuming. For reference, this is also not good for mana consumption efficiency.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay. I’m going back to the dorm alone….”

“Let’s go buy perfume.”

I just said that.

“Ehh…… ?”

In an instant, Becky’s face began to brighten like a sunflower soaked in water.

◈

The next day, Violet was busier than ever.

First of all, we had to think of a test that could replace the deferred exploratory assessment, and we had to adjust the future schedule of the students.

The deadline is about a week. And that’s not all.

To report the abnormal phenomenon that occurred in the labyrinth, I am currently attending a meeting with the Knights Faculty as a guest.

‘… Even ten bodies are not enough.’

Violet let out a deep sigh. As she was barely holding her throbbing head in her hand, Sepia swooped over to the seat next to her and sat down.

“Sister~.”

With a whooping sound, Sepia immediately fell on her desk.

“I’m going to die like this, really! It’s the time when guilds are active, so there’s no time to breathe…. Bring this student information, bring that student information.”

Violet couldn’t afford to fit in with Saddam in Sepia. Sepia let out her sultry voice as she nudged her sister’s side.

“That’s right, sister~.”

“Why?”

“Are you okay? Magic Labyrinth.”

Sepia burst into laughter as Violet stared at her.

“Ahahahaha, sorry, sorry. Of course you know it’s not okay. I did it because I found out something interesting. Look at this, I got it from the person in charge of the labyrinth construction.”

A few sheets of paper slipped onto the table. It was a document that detailed the changes that took place inside the magic labyrinth.

“Sister, the last three people were repatriated. Didn’t you say that 1 hour and 31 minutes had passed since the evaluation started?”

“That’s right, why?”

“If you look here… It was said that 1 hour and 28 minutes had passed since all the ground inside the labyrinth collapsed. Then, don’t you mean that three students lasted three minutes?”

Violet shook her hand and her head at the same time.

“I must have miscalculated the time, yes.”

“Huh?”

“I miscalculated. I must be so out of my mind Do you know how deep the strata are there? 3 Minutes? Stop talking nonsense and be quiet.”

Violet nodded as if she understood her words. But Sepia’s smile didn’t stop.

“Ah, how could unnie miscalculate the time? There must be something, this!”

“Nothing at all. Do I have a lot to worry about right now? So don’t be crazy about yourself.”

“Ah, sister….”

Sepia pressed her shoulders against Violet and pushed her face.

“Then, can I take a look at these students?”

“To find out.”

“They could be really great guys. They keep noticing that there are no good students in the guild these days.”

“I don’t think that’s the only purpose, is it? Do I not know you?”

“Oh, are you clear? I’m also doing an investigation. I heard that there are quite a few people colluding with the wicked these days.”

It was a time when a big conversation was going on due to the temperature difference. The wizards who were seated began to stand up one by one.

Violet and Sepia also removed their butts first. From the atmosphere, it seemed that the person from the Knights Faculty had finally arrived.

“It’s always late over there, always.”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden, sister? Is it once or twice that the knights stretch out?”

Tsk, Violet clicked her tongue and opened the ax eye.

“Let’s start the meeting. The agenda is about an anomaly that has occurred frequently in recent years.”

Someone near the table of honor announced the start of the meeting.

At the same time, Violet lost her gaze.

Beasts.

The confident and haughty gait resembled that of a ferocious beast.

Black hair as if he was reluctant to reach even the light, and eyes that were set in flames as if small fires were swaying.

In the spacious conference hall, the female lady dressed in light armor exuded a relaxed atmosphere, as if this place were her own home.

Her f*cking laxity had dug into Violet’s head and got on her nerves at random.

The president of the Faculty of Magic, and also the only wizard who achieved the 6th rank among the 8 magic ranks, Cornette spoke first.

“You’re late, Scarlett.”

“I was doing some training.”

“We, the mage, didn’t arrive early as we had plenty of time left.”

“For a spellcaster to even touch the toes of an honorable knight, there is still time left and he must not turn around.”

“It seems that even if you learn swordsmanship, you don’t learn manners, the kind of knights.”

A female knight named Scarlett and Cornette briefly exchanged glances.

It was a brief brawl, but it was enough to make the air inside the conference hall freeze like frost.

Scarlett. The knight of the residual fire must have been that woman. Even Violet, who couldn’t be interested in knights, had heard of that nickname.

The heroine Saga, who leisurely looked around her room, opened her mouth with her eyes fixed on Cornette.

“I am a person who values etiquette more than anyone else. One… ….”

The corner of her mouth rose meaningfully.

“That’s only when dealing with knights. There is no manners to show to a white student who studies writing.”

The eyes of a predator aiming for its prey sparkled. Iljindae, Professor Audrey lowered his head just slightly in the eyes.

Violet didn’t like all the elements that made up the current situation.

Agenda of the meeting, female knights who spurned contempt for everyone around them as if they were the creators, and sorcerers who unknowingly cringe.

However, I couldn’t blame the people around me. If the opponent is a knight of residual fire… Everyone would have to do that.

“Tsk.”

Cornette clicked her tongue disapprovingly and looked at Scarlett.

“Always watch your words and actions. It only takes one ‘spell’ to wipe out the Knights Academy.”

“I think it would be fun to try it right now. How would you like to try that ‘order’?”

No matter who said it first, the female knight and the president smiled at each other.

A thin smile prevailed on both sides, but the wizards who were watching it did not dare to breathe easily due to the pressure that tightened their breath.

It was Cornette who opened his mouth again soon after.

“Let’s have a meeting. Have you read the report on the anomaly?”

“It was at the level of childishness.”

“Are you kidding me?”

The president’s eyes curved like crescent moons.

The professors at the Faculty of Magic gulped at Cornette’s face, which didn’t contain any harmful particles.

I was well aware that that smile was a sign that the president was very angry.

“It’s silly… Gee, I’m not stupid. It is considered a serious matter.”

“It must be serious, for the weak.”

Cornette’s head turned crookedly.

“Scarlet, the knight of the flames. I’ve heard rumors that he’s rude like a child, but… Words cannot be picked up.”

Scarlett remained unconcerned even at the words of a sharp dagger.

“It must have been so peaceful in the meantime. Alas, yes. Judging from the way things are installed that try to solve all the catering acts with one mouthful, it seems like that is indeed the case.”

Scarlett calmly continued her words.

“By jumping on the bandwagon of a peaceful world, the mage did nothing but ‘pretend’ to be competent without even dealing with a proper adversary.”

“Hmm.”

“It’s not even funny to have a meeting like this.”

“Sir Scarlett.”

Cornette dried her face with a long and elegant seomseomjaksu. He couldn’t find a kind smile on his face right after he swept it away.

“How painful is this situation facing incompetent spellcasters. Excuse me, the meeting will be held among us.”

The president continued with a cold, hard face.

“You go to the training ground and even slash the scarecrow.”

As if an ice age had come, a fierce and sharp current flowed here. It was a time when everyone was sweating cold and adjusting their collars.

“Chat, chatter, is it okay to chant the order like that?”

Kwakdeuk, Scarlett thrust her sword into her scabbard.

Scarlett and Cornette’s gaze collided in the air.

“Looks like there are quite a few scarecrows here.”

Only the other professors were about to die in the confrontation between the two. Everyone just moaned from the great pressure.

“Haa, this is true.”

Cornette let out a shallow sigh.

It is not just wizards who are born with something blessed in this world.

From noble mtl dot com

Those born with ‘mana’ in their body are given the opportunity to use magic, but if they are born with ‘intrinsic ability’, they can become a knight that demonstrates their strength by itself.

The example was in front of Violet’s eyes.

Remaining fire.

Scarlet Judith’s unique ability, the dying flame.

Like the magician’s meteor, she can’t summon explosive flames, but her embers burn forever.

There is no such thing as the moment when the lights are completely extinguished.

In other words, Scarlett possesses an eternal flame that burns even after death.

In this way, the magical achievements that wizards exert all their efforts, the knights display as if it were taken for granted in the name of ‘unique ability’.

“Let’s have a meeting.”

“I do.”

Finally, Scarlett and Cornette were seated. Only then did the frozen air gently melt.

As Violet watched all this, her best resistance was to clenched her fists. Her fingernails dug into her palms and dripped blood, but she felt no pain.

‘…… Damn it.’

I hate articles.

No, it’s disgusting.

Violet couldn’t stand it because the tribe of knights, who despised the weak for taking advantage of their innate ability beyond mana response, was abominable.

This structure in which the knight reigns as the strong was disgusting. One day we will see the imbalance of power upset.

‘…… Damn, damn, damn.’

But it was always just an empty chant. It seemed that the mere wind would fly through the air and never come true.

Violet’s strength is not enough.

In the first place, it was deplorable that even with the combined efforts of all the magicians in the Faculty of Magic, the balance of forces did not even get a scratch.

‘Someday…… Someone must…….’

Violet just chewed it in and spit it out.
