“No matter how much he is an ally, I’m afraid he’ll appear in my dreams.”
“What do you do when you receive the highest medal as a War Mage? “It’s so ominous.”
As can be seen from the soldiers’ conversations, the woman was a war mage who played a major role on the northeastern front, but no one was happy with her, let alone treated as a hero.
It was because of an instinctive reluctance.
It felt uneasy, like crows wandering over a corpse, so I called it a black swan and stayed away from it.
“But I heard you’re leaving the battlefield soon? “I decided to become a professor at a place called Rubiness Academy.”
“Black Swan as a professor? It really doesn’t suit me. “Sometimes, I wonder if she’s a demon.”
“Did you do that too? I thought that too. Of course, that’s probably not possible.”
Demon.
It refers to a race of darkness born from the demon world.
The greatest enemy of the empire, along with the ‘Lan Republic’.
“But then, why are you gawking among the dead bodies in such a bad mood? “Aren’t you offering a sacrifice to the devils?”
“If it’s a black swan, that might really be the case. “Okay, get out of the way before you get noticed.”
The surroundings became quiet.
Amanda, the lone black swan, continued to stand among the corpses with a blank face.
She was not doing this to offer up the body as a sacrifice, as the soldiers said.
It was because of a story I heard a while ago.
-Go to Rubines Academy.
Instructions from her benefactor, Yakseon (藥仙).
-Find the ‘magic master’ there.
Master of magic.
It was an absurd expression.
Does this mean that any human being in the world can become the master of magic?
Since magic was introduced to humans, a considerable number of magicians have become transcendents and ascendants, but not a single one has earned the title ‘Master of Magic’.
However, she could not ignore Yakseon’s story.
If it weren’t for the medicine, she would have become a terrible monster.
-Only the master of magic can undo the curse you received.
Yakseon also did not know who the real master of magic was.
But, fortunately, there was a clue.
“… Master of magic. “It must be a new ascendant who appeared this time.”
However, it was not a hopeful clue.
No matter how much people ask, the ascendant is not even visible.
“But I will definitely find it. “No matter what it takes.”
With that resolute promise.
The cast began to gather at Ranchel Plateau.
* * *
I thought about it before the training.
‘I need to be ready.’
There was one most important preparation.
‘You have to be strong.’
I took out a specially made box from my pocket.
Wow.
A beautiful jewel filled with cold energy appeared.
Heartstone of the Ice Sea.
It was an S-rank elixir that I recently received at the request of my ex-fiancée, Emily.
‘I am strong yet weak.’
I objectively evaluated my power.
‘Theoretical knowledge is 4 star level, but mana is only 1 star intermediate level.’
Grand Master of Magic and Mana Insensitivity.
Because of my polarizing nature, I can sometimes show absurd strength depending on the situation, and sometimes I can become extremely weak.
‘Still, if you look at it objectively, it would have to be said to be weak.’
The reason I’ve defeated strong opponents so far is because I was lucky enough to exploit their weaknesses every time.
If you exclude tricks and compete in general, at most you will only be competing against 2-3 stars.
‘The problem is that my limitations are impossible to overcome in a short period of time.’
So what I prepared was this ‘Heartstone of the Ice Sea’.
‘It can greatly improve my fighting abilities.’
When I beckon, Paaa! The magic trick was drawn, and the heart stone of the ice sea trembled.
The Heartstone of the Ice Sea is at least Lv. It was a dangerous elixir that only advanced wizards of level 5 or higher could take, but I didn’t care.
It was time to get stronger.
* * *
Finally, the training day arrived.
The mansion built on the desolate Ranchel Plateau was crowded with people.
The crowd far exceeds the number of training participants.
This was due to the influx of reporters from magic media outlets.
“I can’t believe that a mere training program for new professors has attracted so much attention.”
“That’s right. I’m surprised. “I can’t believe such great people were appointed as new professors at Rubiness Academy, which was in decline.”
“Yes, Lord Ballas is especially amazing. “I could have gone to any of the four prestigious schools.”
“Is it just Lord Ballas? Black Swan, recipient of the highest medal, the prodigal son of a master swordsman, and the best disciple of the Sky Island Elder. “There is no one who is not great.”
“No, not everyone is great.”
Reporters fell silent at someone’s criticism.
Yes, there was one.
A person as insignificant as a duck who got caught among swans without notice.
“Confucius Banregi.”
“Recently, I haven’t had the chance to write an article about Confucius Banlegi, so I wonder what kind of interesting news story I will have this time.”
In the past, Van was a frequent subject for reporters.
Every day, Van’s ugly appearance was featured in all kinds of newspapers and magazines.
“By the way, what was Rubines Academy thinking when it appointed Confucius Banregi as a professor? “And that too through special recruitment outside of the quota.”
“But I heard there has been a bit of a change recently. “There were several articles about it.”
“Hey, you are a reporter who knows everything, but do you believe such articles? They must have taken kickbacks and made false reports. Just like we received ‘support money’ from the magic clan Duke Clain this time.”
“Shh, it’s starting now! “These are new professors!”
Balas, the adopted son of a master magician and a scholar-in-residence.
Kansir, the prodigal son of a master swordsman.
War Mage Black Swan.
Rune, the best disciple of Sky Island.
Every time they appeared one after another, they received enthusiastic applause.
Eventually it was the class’s turn,
‘indeed?’
‘How ugly will I show myself this time?’
When ridicule fills the room,
Jerk.
The sound of soft footsteps rang out, and people’s expressions darkened.
This is because the atmosphere of the class on the podium was completely different from what they were used to.
‘… what?’
and.
“It’s anti-ekklesia.”
“!!”
Paaa!!
The power of the Black Flame Dragon covered everyone in the hall.
It was the beginning.
* * *
Meanwhile, then.
There was a village in the forest near the training center.
Although it was a remote village, the atmosphere was strange.
The look in the eyes of the vigilante standing guard was unusual.
A force comparable to that of an elite knight.
There was something even more surprising.
“What are you thinking about?”
A middle-aged man with the most powerful energy bowed his head politely to a boy and asked.
“Saint Jochen.”
It was a rebel saint whom the previous class had treated!
Coincidentally, there was a rebel settlement near the training site.
“just… “I was thinking about this and that.”
Jochen blinked his deer-like eyes and answered.
At the time, when Ban was treated, the demonic energy he showed was completely innocent, giving him the impression of being innocent.
“Ah, you said you’d be entering the academy soon. “You must be nervous.”
Jochen smiled slightly.
“A little. “I’ll take a walk a little longer and then go in.”
“All right. Instead, be careful. “I feel like monsters have been sensitive lately.”
“What’s going on?”
“hahahaha, it’s probably not a big deal. Perhaps because this Ranchel Plateau is where the evil dragon sleeps, the monsters often get wild. Be careful though. “Because the Son is our hope.”
Jochen’s complexion darkened slightly at the mention of ‘hope’.
However, he smiled without showing any signs of it.
“Yes, Thanks.”
‘I’m not that great of a person.’
Everyone around him revered him as a saint.
However, Jochen knew himself well.
He was just a being with a selfish and ugly mentality like everyone else.
‘The devil’s seed may have inhabited me to punish me for my hypocrisy.’
Jochen thought bitterly.
‘Who saved me then?’
As Van requested, Lyran claimed that Johen had freed himself from the evil spirit, but Johen clearly remembered what happened at that time.
-me … I declare it by name.
From Noble mtl dot com
A voice was heard from beyond the darkness at that time.
-I will never let you die.
‘I want to meet you, what kind of being you are.’
Jochen sighed.
It wasn’t just because it was a lifesaver.
The sublimity contained in the voice.
The spirit of sacrifice to save others, regardless of the danger one is in.
It was clear that he was a truly noble person, different from a fake like himself.
‘If I meet you, I might be able to get the answer to my concerns.’
Jochen looked away.
‘He’s probably a wizard… ‘He’s not the wizard at the training center over there, is he?’
Jochen looked at the brightly lit training center near the settlement and made a wish.
I really wish I could meet my benefactor back then.
* * *
After training began.
Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
It was because of the next story in the class.
“I was appointed as a major in magic theory, and am currently a first-star intermediate.”
“… … .”
1 star intermediate level.
There has never been a person like that appointed as a professor at any academy’s magic department.
‘After all, Banregi is Banregi.’
The things that made people dumbfounded didn’t stop there.
“The goal for this training is to become a top student.”
In the end, laughter broke out.
A reporter suddenly raised his hand and spoke.
“Prime Minister Ban, are you sincere about what you just said?”
“Why are you asking that question?”
“Well, there is no way that Prince Ban could be the chief…” .”
“That’s a stupid question. “I’m actually worried that my competitors will be too boring and boring.”
“!!”
The hall became quiet.
There were a lot of stares asking if I was crazy, but half of them didn’t even flinch.
He just looked down at everyone with an extremely arrogant expression, as if he was being sincere.
‘The rumor that Ban Regi went from being a scumbag to being a paranoid was true.’
‘Not only is it trash, but it’s also driving me crazy.’
It was then.
Quang!
Someone walked forward with a loud noise.
“Van, have you said everything? “You think we’re boring?”
One of the new temporary professors was Kansir, who came from a famous swordsmanship family!
An expert in combat techniques that combines swordsmanship and magic.
“We, Malvern, a master of swordsmanship, do not ignore insults. “Please kneel down and apologize for what you just said.”
Chaang!
Kansir took out his sword as if threatening.
“If you don’t apologize, I will challenge you to a formal duel here. “Do not be mistaken in thinking that the name of Ecclesia will protect you in a duel.”
These were not empty words.
Originally, Kansir was eager to fix the class.
A scum like that is a professor like you. Because I didn’t like it.
‘There’s no way Banregi can be your opponent, right? Should I stop him?’
‘Banregi will wake up and curl his tail. He was a famous coward to begin with.’
however.
“No, there will be no duels.”
“Are you scared? Then get down on your knees… .”
“Wouldn’t a duel only be at the right level? “You are not suited to engage in a magic showdown with me.”
“!!”
Ban lifted the corner of his mouth.
An unlucky expression.
“It’s not a duel, it’s an education.”
“… what?”
“Isn’t this training season? “I will teach you, the swordsman, what real magic is, so you will be grateful.”
My intestines became cold and stiff.
Kansir burst into laughter.
“hahahaha!! I misunderstood. You didn’t know the subject. “It was just crazy.”
Kansir’s eyes flashed fiercely.
“There’s a saying among those in the Republic of Lan that a stick is medicine for a crazy dog. “I will make you realize your mistake properly.”
Faaah!
Kansir went up to the podium where Ban was standing.
Admiration flowed from all over as his movements were as good as those of any knight.
“Be prepared.”
The reporters’ eyes sparkled at the sudden duel.
The result is obvious anyway, but this will also make good news.
The story of Banregi being punished is a common theme that everyone likes.
‘How embarrassingly embarrassing will I be this time?’
The title of the article is ‘Banre-gi, who became a patient with false delusions, is treated with a club!’ That would be fine.
Everyone watched the duel with excited eyes.
