Episode 6. sunfish
close-
The sound of the man’s teeth grinding as he peered through the stationery was clearly audible.
A middle-aged man in a suit wiping his cup next to him glanced at him.
“Are you stuck?”
“············”.
“You fell.”
“······Yes.”
The man crumpled the letter and threw it in the trash.
It’s called cramming, but for the past month, he has only devoted himself to studying magic.
He was quite
I don’t know much about the theory, but magic is something he’s been tired of writing, so I thought it would be easy to learn.
However, his name was nowhere to be found on the admission test result notice.
It was the same no matter how many times I looked at it again.
Hurt Locker Siegfried.
I’ve never been able to find anything like this name.
“I thought this would be like this. You gave me only a month to attend Imperial University. Does that make sense?”
“It’s because of my lack of it.”
“There are a lot of kids who get stuck because of bad luck. What are you talking about. Didn’t you say that there were no problems that you couldn’t solve because you didn’t have time? If you study for one more year, you’ll definitely get it next year-“
“There is no next year.”
The man was silent at Hurtlocker’s assertion.
That was correct.
Because the ‘Operation on Imperial University Terror’ prepared ambitiously by the Intelligence Agency was all planned on the premise that Hurt Lockers will be admitted this year.
The worst terrorism, which killed all students and professors, was already over.
“Then, are you giving up on Imperial University?”
“No. Emilia is still there.”
“What can he do on his own?”
“The reconnaissance level will do well. The Imperial University will now switch from a terrorist target to a surveillance target.”
The man stared at the calmly speaking Hurt Locker without a word.
A guy who has been on the battlefield for ten years.
That poor guy who had never done anything in social life wanted to go to college.
Although it is said that he is a target of terrorism, he hoped to become a little bit more human during his college life, even for a short time.
Because now he’s a Hurt Locker who is like a hard killing machine.
“Then, are you going to return to the headquarters and help with this operation?”
“It’s still there. There’s still work to be done.”
“What is it?”
“There is one collaborator at the Imperial University. It is no longer needed, so we must remove it.”
“············”.
The man smiled bitterly as he watched the Hurt Locker making a bloody sound.
The plan to get Hurt Locker into the Imperial University and make them live in peace for a while has failed.
It meant blood and wind would soon blow.
It meant the restart of the ‘killer machine’.

“Is this about…?”
Erica walked around, looking around.
Before the start of the semester, Imperial University was so quiet that it could be said that there were few people except for the staff and professors who occasionally pass by.
What she was looking for in such an imperial university was none other than a single dormitory room.
-Are you a senior student? He has already moved into a dormitory single room.
Asking me to meet the senior student, I went to the head professor and got this answer.
You’re moving into a dormitory even though you haven’t entered the school yet.
It was difficult to understand, but since the head professor couldn’t lie, Erica was heading straight to the dormitory building.
‘I can’t let it go without checking who it is!’
A prodigy among prodigies.
From an early age, it was the nickname of Erica, who achieved the highest grades among the children of the aristocracy.
Even after a long time has passed, she can still be proud of being the best wizard among her peers, but the gap with second place was not as overwhelming as before.
Therefore, he was expected to lose the chief to some extent.
Erika was thinking that perhaps a somewhat humiliating event could happen, in which the son of a lower aristocrat who woke up late would overtake her.
But I never dreamed that it would be a commoner I had never heard of before.
The problem wasn’t that the chief was taken away, but that she didn’t know the commoner’s name at all.
The fact that he was unaware of the existence of someone superior to him was what made Erica feel more proud and resentful than anything else.
Therefore, it was necessary to know what kind of person a commoner with the saucy name Schlus Heinkel was.
At least that he fell less than himself, that he was just lucky to get the top spot.
It seemed that his intuition would be released only after confirming that the possibility of re-overtaking existed.
“Is this…?”
It was obviously behind the dormitory building.
Erica passed along the trail through the small forest that came out of the building.
Before long, the forest came to an end, and Erica’s mouth, facing the open area, opened.
“Wow…”
There was an expansive garden and a small mansion that I could not have imagined being on the college grounds.
Although it is small, it means that it is small for a mansion, and considering the name of ‘single dormitory’, it was unusually bloated.
I heard that seniors in the senior year are given various benefits, but I think they will be provided with a space like this.
I pushed the front door and it opened without any resistance.
Erica stepped into the garden, looking at the well-maintained flower garden.
smart…
Three knocks on the front door.
However, there was no response.
Since the mansion is quite large, it will take some time for the monk to arrive.
Erica decided to wait patiently.
Thump thump!
After 30 seconds, his patience ran out, so he pounded his fists roughly.
“Mr. Lee….”
Still no response.
There was no sound of the ascetic running behind, nor the sound of words.
Are you emptying the house?
“Ummm…?”
After checking the space behind the mansion, Erica tilted her head.
He confirmed that the door to a building that looked like a warehouse was open.
She quickly quenched her excitement and stepped towards it.
‘Also.’
You can feel the popularity on the inside.
Is it Schlus Heinkel?
Erica lowered her voice and opened her mouth with the intention of suppressing the momentum from the beginning.
“······synthesis.”
But as soon as her eyes turned inside the door, her mouth shut immediately.
There was a puddle of blood on the floor.
Even if it was crawling with blood, there were traces of blood all the way to the entrance.
It looks like a murder scene.
Standing in the center of it, I made eye contact with the lady holding the wet mop.
“What are you doing?”
“Ah, that’s-“
“What are you doing here?”
A man’s hoarse voice came from behind.
At this, Erika was startled and looked back quickly.
There, a man with ferocious eyes with long dark circles around his eyes was standing there in a school uniform.
“Ah! I’m sorry!”
“············”.
It was Erica who bowed her head thinking that she must be a senior from that dignified attitude and demeanor…
I soon noticed that something was strange.
This is a single dormitory room.
Then, isn’t the identity of the man who appeared here self-evident?
“You may-“
“This is Schlus Heinkel.”
A man who looked down at Erica quietly, expressionless.
As soon as she heard that name, Erica’s cheeks turned red.
“So what’s going on here-“
Without waiting for Schlust to finish speaking, Erica ran across the garden at the speed of light.
Because I couldn’t even lift my head because of the indignation.
***
“What the hell is this?”
I sighed out of embarrassment.
Breaking into someone else’s house and then suddenly running away.
If you look at that bubbly and silver hair… is that Erica?
Erica von der Liechtenburg.
As the daughter of a countess, she is a heroine who excelled at the Imperial University and later became the elder of the magic world.
oh The main character failed to enter the school, so it’s no longer a heroine or anything.
And her father is actually…
not. ‘Cause it’s irrelevant now
“Are you discharged already?”
“Yes. I heard that you took me to the hospital. Thank you very much.”
“No. Of course, I was just doing what I was supposed to do…”
I was able to move quickly, so I just left the hospital.
My body still aches and I feel like I’m nauseous from exhaustion.
However, it seems that the cleaning of the training room was not finished because he returned too early.
“We’re here to help.”
“Yes? What?”
“Clean up.”
“No. It’s my job, so why-“
“It’s because I want to use the training room quickly.”
“ah······.”
I don’t mean to help.
If the cleaning is delayed, the training room cannot be used, so I am only helping.
There is little time left before class starts. There is still a long way to go before that, and a long way to go.
Therefore, it is necessary to make the training room ready for use at any moment, without fear of being caught by anyone.
Even though there are puddles of blood, there is nothing that can’t be used…
“thank you.”
“No. Thanks to Schlus-kun’s help, it was over early. Well then…”
Marie left the training room and closed the door.
Immediately after that, I snapped my finger and the barrier that tightly wrapped around the training room was reactivated.
It seemed that control was passed on to me, and I could turn it on and off at will.
“Then what are you doing now?”
Lots of work to do.
Once the date has changed, I can rewrite ‘Memories of Myself’ and ‘Selection and Concentration’.
So, I have to do swordsmanship training, and I also have to check if I can convert magic energy into mana by using ‘selection and concentration’ for mana coordination…
I’m bored to death
I slept last night, and when I came here with my feet in the Nether, my body was too heavy.

Just walking up to here wasn’t usually hard work.
I just want to take a breather, like a chimney.
However, if I fall asleep right now, I think I will sleep at least 20 hours, so I am desperately trying to open my eyes.
“Sup…. What is this.”
As I looked in the mirror, I felt something strange.
It’s something I’ve been feeling since yesterday that my eyes are like Dongtae’s eyes.
But the sense of incongruity I feel now is a little different from that.
Right now, my whole body is running to the extreme of exhaustion, and I’m making billions of noises.
So, what should a normal eye look like?
Of course, it has to be so bloodshot that it’s about to explode at any moment.
But now my eyes are so white.
Now I look more alive than any other part of my body, so on the contrary, it seems dead.
‘No crazy.’
At that moment, my eyes suddenly went black.
The quiet white noise that filled the training room also disappeared.
He must have spit out swear words, but he could only feel his lips moving and there was no sound.
Vision and hearing were completely blocked.
I have experienced this feeling.
Yes, it’s the same as when you’re trapped in the barrier of fear.
At the time, I didn’t know why this happened, but I think I can understand it now.
There is one setting that is sloppy as it passed by in the past.
If a blind or deaf person has a very high mana sensitivity, he can observe the trembling of mana and use it as a sight or hearing.
Coincidentally, Schlus Heinkel’s mana sensitivity was also ridiculously high.
That stat is 75. In the original story, it was a stat that the main character could only achieve in the second half.
I wondered why it was so high, but Schluss Heinkel was seeing and hearing through mana.
So, in the barrier of fear, which is in a mana vacuum, vision and hearing are blocked.
Well, thanks to that, I got a full score because I couldn’t see anything ‘horrifying’…
Even at the time of the barrier of fear.
So now, if you ask me why I’m so small again…
There is no way to answer that except ‘because I became conscious’.
It seems that Schlus Heinkel lost his eyes and ears a long time ago and began to see and hear through mana.
As I was doing it as if I was breathing, in the end, it was completely embodied, and I would have reached the point where I did it unconsciously.
Even if the owner of the body changes, the body still reflexively expresses the trembling of mana in the form of sight and hearing.
It was so cheesy that I didn’t even know about it.
But just being conscious of it, what was done in the realm of the unconscious came to the realm of consciousness.
I usually don’t care about the position of my tongue, but when I hear this, I suddenly don’t know where to put my tongue, so it’s like going crazy.
‘For now, calm down. It is to detect the trembling of mana.’
If Schlus Heinkel did it, then I, who took over his body, can do it too.
I closed my eyes and focused on the mana that surrounded me.
Without sight and hearing, all I could feel was mana, so it wasn’t that difficult.
Then, by analyzing the frequency and waveform of the vibration…
They are converted into light and sound, respectively.
“Wow, damn it. I thought I was going backwards in frustration.”
Soon, sight and hearing returned.
I felt refreshed as if I had come ashore after diving for a long time.
“Ouch.”
································· In the moment of carelessness, the view was about to darken again.
After all, once I have been brought into the realm of consciousness, I think I will lose my sight again if my concentration is broken.
What can I do to push it back into the realm of the unconscious?
“Ttt….”
what do you do After all, this Shakyramma.
You have no choice but to see and hear it with mana every day until you get used to it.
It came to the conclusion that time and effort are the solution, which is a natural but disbelievable conclusion.
“Schlus Heinkel. What are you really doing?”
This made me even more curious about the identity of this guy.
Stats far below average.
An internal circuit that, in the words of a doctor, trembles in a “fever”.
And from the blind to the deaf.
Even if there are flaws in the body, there are too many…
To the point where I want my sunfish to be healthier.
I don’t know if I will be able to lead this body and survive until the end.
