chapter 27
027. letter (1)
The beads are just the size of my thumb.
It’s like candy.
It is a very small and insignificant looking marble, but in fact it is a special magic tool than it looks.
The identity of the marble is Deiane’s cherished item, Torma’s Trial.
To put it simply, it can be said to be a magic aid.
The structure and principle are complex, so I don’t fully understand it, but it is said that if you swallow the beads, it flows into the mana core and settles down, helping your mana core grow.
Even before Deianne transplanted the fragments of Hiven, the reason why he had a lot of magic power was because of this magic tool.
It’s already lacking in magical power, so I save it even when I send a shadow, and considering the hardships, I can see it as a necessary magic tool for me.
It is said that now it is not necessary to drink the tasteless elixir that Annie always prepares.
In the original work, I thought it was probably taken by another magician professor who was investigating Deianne’s body, but I snuck it right away because it wasn’t something that Ackerman should have.
“Well… … Should I swallow it?”
It’s a little dirty to think that this was still inside Deiane… … Shall I say
Just in case, I went to the bathroom, washed the beads with Winsorbing’s tears, and put them in my mouth.
Uh, uh, uh
Torma’s ordeal went down his throat as it was, and the feeling of a foreign body disappeared before he knew it.
is it right?
I know that once you swallow this, your base magic power will increase by +10.
status window opened.
Name: Aren Blackfire
Gender: male
Age: 20
Personality: [gloomy] [aristocratic]
Specialty: [Black Magic] [Black Fire: Spruce] [Descendant of the Sword Saint] [Eye of Mind Lv.1]
Stats: [Strength: 9] [Agility: 8] [Stamina: 8] [Luck: 1]
Power: [38/38]
… … !
It works.
Torma’s trial worked properly.
mana, which was 26, jumped to 38 at once.
Thanks to the basic stats, +10 was not enough, so it went up by 2 more.
After all, did you say that practice is important? After defeating the boss in Act 1, it seems that the experience has been very generous.
Not only magic power, but also strength stats all went up by 1, so it couldn’t be better than this.
The story has been returned to its original state, and the growth is steady.
Let’s hope it goes like this.
hear the rain
The sky is full of dark clouds, and the rain is still falling.
In the distance, you can see the Magical Professor’s Building. The dazzling buildings have been smashed to pieces, and now only the collapsed rubble is full.
People are heading towards the gym to avoid the rain. It seemed that the situation had been sorted out.
It seems that Siana and Cain had a good talk. Shiana is strangely nice to me, and even though I’m a little anxious, there’s nothing to lose.
It’s better if you’re good to me even if it’s sh*t to everyone else. Because that person is none other than Siana.
Think of the future story.
First, the Warriors will turn over. No, the entire kingdom of Aeonia would be in emergency.
The kidnapping of the cadets was huge, but the seriousness of the situation in the resurrection of the demons is on a different level.
Professors and executives, including Pompey, will be called to the royal family one after another to be robbed, and an emergency investigation committee will be created to investigate this situation in detail.
The investigation will continue even after the vacation.
In fact, nothing comes out even if I shake it off. Even in the original game, it was only revealed that Deianne did it alone.
Perhaps, as a person related to the demons, I might be investigated. Because this unfortunate thing happened in the first semester I entered.
So what?
If you brush me off, nothing will come out.
It was proven that there was no problem in front of the orb, but let’s set up an investigation committee and harass me like a rat.
In the end, the case remains unsolved and the royal family makes a decision.
The royal family intervened in the academy.
In the second semester, an inspection team is dispatched under pressure from the royal family. In the name of protecting and supervising the academy.
A member of the Royal Knights, the newly appointed Inspector General’s name is Zeroth Tarbella.
He is from a branch of the Abella family, a relative of Cain, and an elite among elites who are trusted by the royal family.
The beginning of the second act begins when Zeroth Tarbella takes over as the inspector general and combat instructor.
… … The second act flows riotously as he harasses Ackerman and Cain.
I hope you have nothing to do with me.
Starting from the second semester, I will have to take classes from other classes little by little, and I will be quite busy as I have to go out on external missions.
You might be too busy to care about Ackerman’s story.
So, I was very proud to deal with Deiane and return the story today.
You won’t have to worry about it anymore.
Let’s just go like this, please.
I don’t want to give away the advantage of knowing future information.
Floating in the open sea and following a river that knows its destination. It is obvious that it is not necessary to explain which of the two will make people feel comfortable.
I feel good and sing a hum song.
It seems that the roommate is still hanging out outside.
You can have a good rest even for a short while.
I really like the sound of rain.
The dampness of a rainy day and the air full of moisture are also good. I liked it originally, but now that I’m in this body, I love it even more.
I can sleep pretty comfortably.
* * *
Cain was admitted to the Warriors Academy ward. He was healed by the priests and treated by a specialist as soon as possible, but the wounds were still deep.
Although it was a subject of investigation, it was good that I was not involved in complicated work because wound healing and rest were more urgent.
Separately, Professor Julius told me to stop by before the vacation ceremony to see if there were any traces of Magi left.
Thanks to this, only Siana, who is the most well-behaved among the cadets who fought against the demons, is called to testify by the professors, while the rest of her friends are all asleep in the same room.
“Mmmm, mmm… … Siana… … I was wrong… … help me!”
The sounds of Hoya’s sleep talking and Ponte’s snoring mix with the sound of the rain to form white noise.
When I put my hand on my head, I feel a slight fever.
He was badly injured, and it must be because he caught a cold from the rain.
“ha.”
The exhaled sigh is hot.
It would not be strange if he stretched out and fell asleep right away, but Cain did not fall asleep.
My mind is complicated, I don’t know where to start organizing.
The first thing that comes to mind is the humiliation of losing to Ackerman twice.
I tried to die, but failed.
… … No excuses. Cain was very disappointed in himself.
Another thing was fighting demons that I hadn’t even thought of in my dreams. Since the target was a former magic professor, his feelings were more complicated.
What the hell is going on with demons? I’d rather have all of this, everything from admission to now, be a dream.
There are other things like dreams.
Aren Blackfire.
He is a mysterious man who is like a dream, like darkness, and like magic.
I watched it all semester, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.
I’ve been treating myself as an invisible person so far, but when it’s really important, my words are very clear.
Also, the boy is ordinary, but he shows a brilliant appearance at every important moment. It always has been. This is no coincidence.
Besides, Cain couldn’t understand how he could be so calm against demons.
Well, I don’t want to argue about such trivial things now.
I can’t even take care of myself right now, but I wonder what it has to do with that boy being unique and proud.
“ha… … When I go back on vacation, I will tell my father something.”
If I go back to my hometown, I’m sure I’ll be cursed at. The picture is already drawn. Broken wine glasses at mealtime, father pointing. Maids who don’t know what to do. The suffocating air of the mansion.
They will be humiliated and ignored in all ways, saying it is a disgrace to the family.
I’d rather run away somewhere.
Abusive words build up to the throat in a rage. It was an abusive language that Cain had never used before.
she is abella We must show a kind, just, and upright image wherever we go.
Even if this is a ward full of snoring, no one will remember Cain’s words.
“I’m out of breath.”
Anyway, the first semester is over and vacation is just around the corner.
Time flows carelessly.
Before leaving the academy for a while during the vacation, Cain thought of things to finish.
First of all, I’m going to have one last party with these stupid new friends. It was because we became close during the midterm exam and made a promise.
Packing, the maids will help, no problem. Goodbye for the time being with the men who bother to flirt here and there.
… … And Aren comes to mind. There is something I really want to say to Aren Blackfire.
Looking at him makes me ashamed of my past self.
Because he was wearing sunglasses for being a ‘black fire’ and scolding him in front of his face.
To be honest, I think I looked down on Aren because I wanted to be righteous. Come to think of it now, yes. As an aristocrat, that’s a very bad thing.
I did, but when it was most important, I proudly declared that I would solve it by myself, but in the end, it was like getting help from Aren.
There is no humiliation like this.
The child who was criticized for worshiping the demons took the lead in defeating the demons. No praise, no recognition, no reward.
Is this true noblesse oblige?
Cain was completely misunderstood.
Aren was not as bad as he seemed.
He was not a slick aristocrat like himself.
My face is hot. I don’t think I’ll be able to lift my head in front of him from now on.
It’s fortunate that he’s in class B. How embarrassing would it be if we were in the same A class? I would see you every day
… … That’s it.
apologize… … should I?
Don’t forget to say thank you for saving me.
If you stand in front of him, there should be no strange graying of your hair. Be sure to prepare your speech.
Suddenly, I just remembered something.
“… … right. I cried a lot in front of him.”
I cried really badly.
The haughty and noble image collapsed in an instant.
“Huh… … .”
What happened, did a dark history happen if only a child named Aren was involved?
Really, I don’t even know.
“I don’t know… … Mr. Lee.”
Cain covered his burning face with a blanket.
* * *
Originally, I was supposed to go to school the next day, but due to an unfortunate accident, an official notice came down saying that all academy classes would be closed for two days.
Thanks to that, I was able to rest two more days. I’ve been running non-stop for a while now, and that’s a good thing.
The movement of students was also not free for two days.
The biggest victim is, of course, my roommate Viktor.
“Oh, I want to drink. isn’t it? Aren?”
As soon as Viktor wakes up, he has been doing that for almost an hour. I have no choice but to say that drinking from 10:00 a.m. is really amazing.
“OMG! I can’t stand it.”
Then, after scratching his whole body, he jumped up.
“… … ?”
Viktor suddenly fell under the bed and knelt down.
“Please understand the ugly lamb who couldn’t overcome temptation… … .”
He prayed earnestly, then put his hands under the bed.
drooling.
Luxury box that comes with it. When did that happen!?
“Aren. Would you like me to show you something good?”
I wasn’t particularly interested, but it was burdensome to ignore such an excited expression. I got up from lying down and looked down at the box.
“!”
“What do you think. Awesome! Directly from Lorena, who is famous as a practical distillation craftsman! It was airlifted, this.”
I thought he was taking out some great treasure, but it was alcohol. Then it is.
Viktor’s mouth was torn from ear to ear. Isn’t it supposed to serve the god of alcohol, not the god of light?
“Would you like a drink?”
“no.”
Of course it’s a refusal. In the first place, drinking is prohibited in the dormitory.
Eventually, Viktor sat down on the dormitory floor and started writing his own. The side dishes are also candied olives that you don’t know where you got them from.
“Big. Drink tastes good! Aren, are you really not going to eat it? will regret?”
“it’s okay.”
“A boring guy.”
I am lying in bed and enjoying my rest.
Viktor started talking hard about me.
“Hey, time flies. Is not it? It’s vacation already.”
“Iknow, right.”
Viktor said after drinking a drink that smelled like sweet peaches.
“What do you do on vacation? Do you want to go back to your home?”
“I do not know.”
I never really thought about what to do during vacation.
Right now, all I want to do is sleep without being disturbed by anyone.
“It’s about me. It’s only when it’s vacation time.”
Viktor started talking nonsensical things, such as how he took his friends from the countryside to a big city and showed them around.
Doubts began to creep in whether this human was really the cardinal’s son.
“Anyway, even those fun things turned out to be bad during this vacation. under. Your father is asking you to come.”
“It must be sad.”
“I feel abandoned by God. Black. That’s right, Aren, if you have something to come to the main school, contact this senior. I’ll take you on a tour of the church and introduce you to your father.”
‘You don’t have to… … .’, but I replied that I would.
“You must be busy in the second semester. It’s time for you to start your external mission, and I have to prepare for graduation too. I won’t be able to see your face often.”
“… … Yes.”
Not at all. If Viktor hadn’t been out drinking all the time, we would have had enough time to hang out.
“It would be nice to go out on an outside mission together! Isn’t it?”
Viktor woven into empty space! and broke the glass.
Viktor, who had self-made for two hours, was sick with vomiting all day long.
* * *
The sun is shining. The warmth of early summer and sprouting buds covered the entire academy.
It was a perfect day for a walk.
It’s vacation soon, so there won’t be any fitness classes. The gym uniform was folded up and put in a drawer.
Instead, he ironed his school uniform and trimmed his hair more meticulously than ever.
Thanks to the body wash, even the school uniform smelled good.
look in the mirror
A pale Blackfire is standing.
It’s so pale, it’s a contrast to the under eyes.
… … The more black magic you use, the more gloomy your face becomes.
It feels like my dark circles have gotten worse since the beginning of the semester.
Should I buy some broccoli and eat it?
I’m going to go out of my way, and now it’s vacation if I go out for two more days. I was excited and happy as if I had returned to my school days.
Going to school has never been so enjoyable.
However, unlike my fresh mood, the atmosphere at the academy was very depressing.
It was only natural that the demons appeared.
Professors and even guards are mobilizing all over the academy in search of traces of the devil, and are protecting the cadets.
The number of Cerberus has increased several times compared to last time.
Some of the professors who knew me stung their eyes.
I expected it, but it’s true that I feel bad because I have eyes like that again. They don’t have the ability to learn.
After all, they’re NPCs, so maybe it’s natural.
Well, even so, what will they do to me?
I passed the tight academy security and headed to the 1st year combat gym.
When I entered the gymnasium, about 20 cadets had arrived first.
They were looking intently at the bulletin board on the wall. It was upsetting.
‘Ah, the final exam results.’
It seemed that Giliot had announced the results before announcing them.
When I was playing as Ackerman, I heard the news from the ward and only knew about it.
I groaned and went to the bulletin board.
Please, I hope you are in Class B.
Notice is visible.
Classes A, B, and C were rearranged in order of grades.
Some will go to heaven, some will go to hell.
The top grades, well, it became like a game.
Let’s see my name… … .
