(EP.53) Tae-oh # 2
053 – Silver Rookie Taeo #2
“Tao Gospel.”
Mirna Draco sat down next to me and called my name. There was no emotion in that voice.
So, I decided to politely say hello.
“Hello, miss.”
“I heard you said that you made a commotion even before the lecture started?”
Are you talking about the duel that happened yesterday? It was quite noisy. It seems that Mirna Draco knew that too.
“It happened.”
“This is different from Angmar. It would be better to stay calm and not cause trouble. Either you or your queen.”
Don’t talk to me, what is it?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, it seems like they’re just advising that it’s better not to make a fuss, but Mirna was such a arrogant and picky girl that it sounded like a noble one.
“Thanks for the advice.”
“Still, I’m glad I won the duel. For the one who bears the banner and name of Angmar could never be more humiliating and unsightly if he had been defeated by a savage warrior.”
You talk more and more well than you think.
I would rather say, “Are you going to talk presumptuously to Mirna?” Common people.” I thought you would ignore me.
are you bored
Druck.
At that moment, the sliding door was forcefully opened to the side and someone entered the classroom.
It was a woman with an impressive dark blue hair in a black dress and dark circles in her eyes.
The eyes are very red.
Red eyes are a sign of ominousness.
“Come on, everyone, sit down. Come on, the lecture begins. huh.”
That person must be Professor Balan, who is in charge of this ancient language lecture.
Pale-skinned and dark, he looked like a very skilled warlock or necromancer.
A feeling of no vitality. But the chest is not very full of vitality, so it looks like it will explode. she said, pounding her chest.
“Before that, let’s check the class nameplate first. Chae, put the lecture board on the desk.”
Someone who is a little uncomfortable?
you stutter
But I do remember hearing warlocks and necromancers say that stutterers are really scary people.
I put my lecture card on the desk.
Warlock Balaan walked past the large lecture hall like a ghost, checked the lecture cards on the students’ tables, and went back to the stage.
“like. Well, then I’ll start. Well, today is the first day. Simply put, what is a samurai? . Anyone know?”
Everyone opens their eyes wide-eyed at Professor Balan’s question. At that time, Mirna Young-ae, who was sitting next to me, raised her hand.
“like. Rank 6th. Mirna Draco. Answer me.”
Whoops.
With the permission to speak, Mirna Young-ae got up from her seat, looked around, and spoke in a calm voice.
“In the beginning, fragments that were used when the god of light fire created the world as a language. The rules that underlie magic. The letters of the mystery and the language of the dead are called Liga.”
“Joe, good. great explanation. 80 points. However, let me explain what I am lacking. Sword is power. strength. Yes. The power of infinite possibilities… .”
Shh.
Professor Balan is holding a chalk and sketching something on a blackboard.
Druck.
It was a perfect circle.
A perfect circle.
How the heck can a person draw such a perfect circle without using a tool like a compass?
Perhaps I wasn’t the only one who was surprised, and the lecture hall shook with admiration here and there.
– Is that Professor Ark’s skill?
-I can’t believe my eyes. It’s such a perfect circle.
ㅡ That’s right! Awesome!
But if you think about it, I wonder if this is such a surprise.
slurp, slurp.
Professor Balan drew a picture resembling a chess piece in a circle without paying attention to the students’ reactions, and even drew letters that wrap around it like pizza dough.
It was the letter Belial.
It is more like the name of something rather than a word or a spell.
“Hey, this is the magic circle that nullifies magic. It’s a very, very primitive type of magic circle. Ancient shamans and priests. With this, I was able to block the opponent’s scheme. However. It is difficult to draw a magic circle one by one.”
Fantasy.
It’s a fantasy world, so it’s natural, but it’s a new surprise that I’m listening to these lectures.
Should I say that I feel like I’m listening to a worldview in a game or a novel rather than real history or science? Of course, whether I thought so or not, Professor Balaan went on to explain.
“Well, so the spell became a chant in the circle, and a lighter self-suggestion in the chant. Simplification of ordering. Me, that Balaan whistle this spell. I can do it.”
Whoi-.
Balaan whistled.
So, to summarize, the original magic started with that hard-to-draw picture.
It is said that the picture was replaced with a chant for invoking a spell, and even that chant was changed to a short self-starter.
Because people like simple things.
“Self-suggestion is quick and good. Yes, but it has its drawbacks. The power of the spell is low. That the original meaning is distorted… . actually. this order. magic invalid. It must not have been a spell of destruction of magic.”
sh-.
The professor’s slender fingers, painted in black nail polish, pointed to the magic circle drawn on the blackboard. Someone raises his hand and asks a question.
“Then what kind of magic circle was it originally?”
“According to what I have studied for 10 years, woman. this is denial. absurdity. worthless… . It can be used as a word that includes all kinds of negative words. Because ancient languages are comprehensive. It reads Belial.”
Belial.
Belial is right.
“However. even if you can read it. It’s different from using that word. I only know by memorization. different from understanding The only thing I could understand was… .”
“Was it only King Solomon Angmar?”
Interfering in the professor’s explanation was Mirna, the young girl sitting next to me. At Mirna’s words, Professor Balan nodded and erased the pictures on the blackboard.
“No, that’s right. Demon King Solomon. Only he was able to freely manipulate the 72 ancient incantations. Ahh-. Really. That would have been awesome. Truly like a god… .”
Professor Balan’s red eyes flashed strangely.
Her eyes were looking at Mirna, but somehow it seemed like she was looking at me next to her, so I bowed my head and focused on writing.
Belial.
The magic circle and the pictures were clearly written down.
* * *
Because it was the first day, the lecture ended much earlier than planned. As everyone rushed out, I also got caught in their pockets and exited the classroom.
The place I’m heading to is the vacant lot at the back of the building.
It was an eul-like place with trees and grass swaying in the quiet wind, and it was a rare place to be popular.
From there, I went deeper into the alley.
What I took out of my pocket was a piece of chalk I stole from the classroom and a notebook I had written on before.
“Well.”
I sketched the picture that Professor Balaan had drawn on the floor. It was difficult to draw a perfect circle like Professor Balan, but I managed to draw it along.
slurp.
An ancient shaman circle that was thus completed.
I said over it.
“Belial.”
woo woo.
Then the spell circle began to activate a faint light.
At the same time, the letters written on it also emit light as if piercing my eyes.
So I felt a kind of ‘concept’ coming into my head as if it were being smashed.
「Belial: A spell that nullifies magic. A spell lower than the caster’s hierarchy can be made worthless.”
Five.
I could feel a very strange feeling at the letters that appeared in front of my eyes.
It can be said that a problem that has been unsolved for a long time has suddenly been solved quickly with a flash of inspiration.

Can you negate spells that are lower than the caster?
“Belial.”
When I mentioned the name again, I could vividly feel the sensation of something changing in my body, even though I didn’t draw the Jumunjin this time.
Jiying, Jiying.
A tingling sensation in the limbs and a slight vertigo in the head.
I could instinctively feel that this was the sense of using magic. It’s probably because of Angmar’s blood flowing through my veins.
“Mysterious magic!
Acquire the ‘Wizard”s job experience. + 50”
It’s like that too.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No wait.
If so, did the Halfas I mentioned at the time of the confrontation have some meaning?
sound-.
After clearing my throat, I muttered in a moderate voice.
“Halpas.”
Then again, the letters come to mind.
「Halfas: A new taming spell. Birds can be tamed. The higher the caster’s hierarchy, the longer he can tame various kinds of birds.
It’s awesome.
That was the reason why birds flew around.
Are there any birds around here?
When I’m wandering my head back and forth. I saw pigeons sitting on the tree over there. There are more pigeons in the school than you think.
I yelled at them.
“Halpas-.”
purr.
purr.
Then about ten pigeons flocked to me and sat on my arms and shoulders. For a moment I remembered that pigeons carry so many pathogens.
“Eight, hey, get out of here!”
That was when he was swinging his arms back and forth to drive the birds out again.
“commons.”
I felt something like someone’s popularity behind me.
“People, Tae-oh Gospel. What are you doing here? What about the birds that just flew away?”
It was Mirna Draco.
“Mirna Youngae, why are you in a place like this… ? Birds were just nothing.”
I was nervous that maybe what I just did was found out.
Mirna Draco’s red eyes looked at the chalk and the drawn magic circle on the floor and let out a long snort.
“It really happened.”
did that happen?
what?
did you hear
Did I just find out that I am the only heir of the Demon Lord Angmar?
A lot of thoughts popped up like cotton candy in my head.
The Draco family was originally Angmar’s loyalists, so I thought, ‘If I do it well, something will happen’.
If my identity is found out, I can feel a variety of emotions, including the fear of being killed like this.
But I decided to pretend it was okay and ask again.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Don’t be shy, Tae-oh Gospel. you. You seem to be a person with a lot of enthusiasm for learning, right? I’m going to try to replicate this.”
“ah.”
“You seem to be very interested in the dead language, the dead language, don’t you?”
“Yes. I am very interested.”
I guess I just haven’t seen it. It’s probably just that I’m showing interest by seeing myself as an honor student who immediately reviews what I’ve learned outside.
However, Mirna Draco’s well-groomed silver eyebrows frowned, creating a wrinkle between the forehead.
“Why are you interested in samurai? You are neither a necromancer nor a warlock. It’s better not to think about lying.”
Are you going to turn around and eventually doubt me?
I quickly shook my head to see what words could help me get through this crisis situation.
Hopefully, there must be a way to overcome the crisis and turn it into an opportunity, just like the battle with F-side.
“Why?”
“that… , because it is the power of King Angmar.”
“The power of King Angmar?”
“I was called the Demon King and was overthrown. The power of the Demon Lord Angmar was real among the real ones. It is natural to worship and adore his power.”
“Huh, that’s normal. As if it’s only natural for you, a commoner, to care about Mir and Draco.”
“Do I care about Mirna Draco?”
“Everyone cares about me. You don’t have to come and lie now. Why are you taking this English course? The reason I do this play here knowing that I pass this promenade every day.”
What is this?
I was about to keep my mouth shut, Mirna Draco added.
“Isn’t it all because you want Mirna’s attention? The pigeons, too.”
👌👌👌👌
Mirna, a young girl in a school uniform, covered her face with a black fan.
Here, I decided to close my eyes because it seems that there are many variables and benefits to affirming rather than denying, “It is not.”
“Actually, that’s right. Because I really wanted to have a conversation with Mirna-sama of the Draco family.”
“huh. on the subject of commoners. Do you have big dreams? What made the arc loud yesterday was all to get my attention, right?”
“… It is true.”
“Tao Gospel. Half successful. It’s an honor to know that you caught my attention even for a moment.”
swish.
With that, Mirna left her seat before she even heard my answer.
I can’t be arrogant enough to be mean.
My younger brother, Narmi, looked innocent and kind.
oh
Then, something flashed in my mind.
Today is the first Wednesday of the first week of school.
It was the day that he and his twin sister, Narmi Draco, had decided to meet again in the Great War.
