I Will Take a Break at Academy

038. leap to you (1)

‘An authority in this field… … It’s still too early to call it ‘.’, but as a prospective black magician, there is something I don’t understand.

This is because the hind legs of the tauri frog and the root of the black barnacle are ingredients that should not be combined carelessly.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Compared to my knowledge, which has been verified through hundreds of years of research, the information of a 22-year-old distilling artisan is infinitely lacking.

As a result, Lorena’s work seemed stuffy.

‘Why are you mixing that with that… … write.’

Tilt your head once.

If I keep going like that, even after a few months, I’ll be engrossed in my graduation project and won’t be able to get the drink Viktor asked for.

Let’s just give you a little hint. Then I’ll give you a new one as a thank you.

It’s nothing else, it’s helping with the graduation project, so you might get something more than that.

I spoke carefully.

“What makes you so?”

“… … Haven’t you gone yet?”

Lorena tucked back her braids that fell in front of her shoulders, annoyed.

As if not paying attention to me, I pour the strange mixture with my tongue sticking out.

Black smoke rises.

This time, the smell was also terrible.

Whether you’re making alcohol or poison… … Are you aware of yourself?

“Mr. Lee. I failed again because of you!”

What if he did something wrong?

Lorena This woman’s personality is a little questionable.

“That’s because you can’t.”

I couldn’t lose either, so I said a word.

“Yup!”

Lorena bangs the workbench! hit it Black liquid splattered in all directions.

Then she began pulling her hair out in two pigtails. The finely braided hair was tousled.

“Negreg… … .”

Lorena gritted her teeth while lying face down on the workbench.

It’s on the verge of hysteria.

I guess I need to release some rice cakes.

“Looking for a combination that will get rid of a hangover.”

“What?”

She, who had never taken her eyes off her work, suddenly turned her attention to me.

“Ingredients. That’s what works.”

Lorena stared at me, perhaps interested in my words.

“… … Ahh. You are the rumored Victor Roommate.”

Lorena looks me over with a knowing face.

“A rumor?”

“Victor, how much that tentacles talk. My roommate blah blah… … .”

“is that so.”

“don’t worry. Because I only praised you. By the way, aren’t you an ordinary drinker too? Look at the dark circles. He is like a roommate.”

Lorena pulled out another cigarette and asked.

“I don’t drink.”

“okay? Then let’s smoke.”

“Yes?”

“Anyway, I thought I knew you well because I drank with Viktor every day. Then how did you know?”

What is the flow of conversation that flows without going through this brain?

Profit… … .

Cigarette smoke drifted across the ceiling.

Practical cadets are locked up in such workshops every day. It is easy to guess why all the practical guys were idiots.

“The family itself has done a lot of research in this direction.”

There is nothing to hide again.

Slightly late ‘Ah.’ Lorena nodded and lit her cigarette ash.

Through the smoke, you can see her eyes wide open. reddish brown like hair

“therefore? Do you know anything?”

Pretending not to be, Lorena quietly asking questions.

It’s a sight to know that you have to go down.

I will be so desperate.

“First of all, don’t use the hind legs of a Taur frog raw, you have to wash them well and then boil them.”

“What? If you use it raw, you will receive good medicine.”

It’s just a common myth spread by ignorant wizards.

Lorena frowns in disbelief.

“Even a tiny amount of the blood of a taur frog changes color when it comes into contact with the roots of a blackthorn.”

I pointed my finger at the black liquid that had been scattered across the workbench.

“… … really?”

Lorena put a cigarette in her mouth and dipped her fingertips in the black liquid and sniffed it.

“Oh, maybe something like that? The smell of frog blood still lingers.”

Distinguishing the smell of blood from this sticky smell of alcohol. Lorena seemed to have a very developed sense of smell.

“Wait a minute.”

Raising her body from her back, she charged back to the workbench and began carefully mixing the ingredients.

As I advised, I washed the frog’s hind legs thoroughly and boiled them. It became a hind leg with no blood at all.

Lorena shredded the hind leg of the frog and poured the mixture into distilled water in a small glass bowl.

OK… … !

“Oh, wow! Wow!”

Lorena’s eyes widened. I covered my mouth and looked at the glass bowl in surprise.

“What are you!”

The corners of Lorena’s mouth twitch.

I didn’t know that black magic knowledge would come in handy here, but if you can pick out mulberries, you should pick them up and eat them.

Looking at Lorena’s quivering pupils, it seemed that her heart was beating hard. The initiative has passed to me.

Negotiation On.

“Well, what next?”

Lorena urged, rolling up her sleeves.

He looked like a poopy puppy looking for the next tip quickly.

“I was told to leave.”

“yes? Yes?”

I asked for rice cakes… … .

Now let’s make it crazy.

“You look busy, so stop.”

He lowered his head slightly and turned around.

“Hey, hey!”

Lorena jumped over the workbench and grabbed my wrist.

“Huh, junior? Ehehe. You asked for something earlier, right?”

She prayed with the momentum to kneel down.

* * *

“Ji, it really works… … ?”

Lorena’s auburn eyes contained alcohol as a new hangover remedy.

Delicious and pleasantly drunk, but no hangover the next day? It’s an amazing drink just by listening to it.

Her eyes that twinkle like stars show her how she is feeling right now.

“Are you successful?”

“yes? Ah yes! If there is no color change and no bad smell, just a clean smell of alcohol, it’s a success! You’ll have to drink the correct one, though.”

Lorena then slid into her chair, exhausted.

“OMG… … Thank you, junior. How the hell did you think about adding barnacles fruit? that useless thing Awesome, really. I couldn’t have imagined it.”

I mixed my black magic book and my modern knowledge appropriately and kindly passed it on to her.

The result was a great success.

To be honest, I didn’t know that barnacles would really work.

“Thank you.”

Enough time has passed, so it’s time for me to be rewarded.

“Give me what I negotiated sooner than that.”

I opened my palm and gave him a notice to put out the item.

The wording changed from ‘requested’ to ‘negotiated’.

“to?”

Lorena looks at me with slightly open eyes.

I stared at her with eyes telling me not to act nonsense.

[gloomy]

Can you stand still even after receiving my dark gaze?

“Ahh. Yes, indeed. ok.”

Lorena finally got up with difficulty. She was in such the same position that her joints groaned every time she moved.

Practical majors can’t do anything.

“Follow.”

She left the studio, tossing the trash that blocked the road.

Drooling!

“Here.”

It was room 303-8 next to room 303-7.

“It’s a studio my friend used to use, but I dropped out and am using it as my storage room.”

Lorena rummaged through the messy stacks of bottles.

“Ah, I found it.”

He seemed like a person who was far from being tidy and tidy. In my mind, I wanted to get rid of it right away, like a chimney.

“here.”

Lorena held out a maroon bottle resembling a beer bottle.

It had a clumsily made label attached, and it was a product with her name inlaid.

“Lorena 18”

“This is what Viktor asked for. Now, this is the Lorena 19 sample I made thanks to you earlier.”

I didn’t really need it, but I got it for now. If you give it to Viktor, he’ll be happy.

Lorena continued searching the warehouse.

This is because this is not the end of the items that were agreed to be received during the negotiations.

“This is an elemental bomb made by another Pensions Department cadet.”

It was like a glass bead.

“If you throw it on the floor and break it, the elemental magic inside will explode. It will be useful for offensive purposes. The outside mission will be leaving soon, so take it with you.”

“It’s worth using.”

“However, it is not a finished product yet, and the elements are random.”

“yes? that’s a bit.”

“I can’t help it. Still worth using.”

If I, the lucky one, used random element bombs carelessly… … ?

I’m a little anxious.

Practical cadets do not go on external missions.

Instead, these friends build up performance by providing the items they have made or researched to other class cadets.

When cadets return from missions review items and give points, that is reflected in grades.

Because of this situation, the more people you have in the practical world, the better items you can get. It’s a form of helping each other.

It is also a fact that new students do not know.

“And if you ask as you said, I will introduce you to my friend in the manufacturing department. okay?”

“Yes, are you sure of his skills?”

“Don’t worry, junior. You are very picky.”

Lorena looked at me and stuck out her tongue.

Seeing me never back down during negotiations, it was to the point that they felt more disgusted than Viktor.

I took that as a compliment.

I only told you one line written in the black magic book, but I got so many stomachs.

Even when I thought about it, it was almost like a robbery.

Still, from Lorena’s point of view, she completed the graduation project she dreamed of, so it’s a business that remains for her.

In the end, it’s mutually beneficial.

Now, if you entrust the armor request before going out on an external mission, the second semester is really perfect.

Everything is going according to my plan.

‘Is that Siana left?’

Now that I’ve paid off my debt to Viktor, I’ll stop by the dormitory and go find Cyana.

“Then, let’s go.”

“okay? I thought I would buy you some rice.”

Lorena said as she brushed off her soiled clothes.

“it’s okay.”

I nodded and turned around.

I’ve been in a dirty place too long. Your clothes must be full of the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. hate.

It was then. The thing that called me like Lorena threw it.

“Hey, junior!”

“… … ?”

When I turned around at the sudden call, Lorena smiled and said,

“Thank you.”

* * *

I left the things Lorena gave me in the dormitory and went outside.

The sun had gone and the night air was cool.

took a step

The destination is the Magical Zoo and Zoo.

The only place where the missing Cyana could be was there.

Walking down the street at night, I think about what Siana’s problem is.

First of all, in the second act, Siana’s role was not large.

It’s still awkward with Ackerman, so he’s in the process of getting closer. It is from the third act that her presence is revealed.

In Act 2, the only time Siana appears is when she takes a magical subclass class once a week or when she passes by the Magical Zoo and Zoo.

Maybe that’s why, when you play as Ackerman at the time of Act 2, if you talk to Cyana,

[…] … Yes, bye.]

[Ackerman?]

[Is it training today?]

[No, I’m done.]

I received only a light greeting. It’s like a cat that stays quiet.

The only interaction possible with Siana in the second act is to build a bond step by step and release Siana’s vigilance.

Since she doesn’t appear in the main quest, it’s hard to properly grasp Siana’s emotions in the second act.

In the end, Cyana’s current disappearance has nothing to do with the main story.

Rather, it is more of an event that occurred because of the interaction with me.

Shiana was angry.

It’s common for Sianna to be mean to anyone who touches her. Of course, that day was a bit severe, but it wasn’t unheard of.

The problem is that he met my eyes and disappeared… … .

‘Did you not want to show me that kind of side?’

Considering how Shiana was obsessed with me, it wasn’t an incomprehensible reaction.

Usually, such guys are intimidated by the slightest mistake.

As soon as she saw me, she rolled her eyes in surprise and took a step back.

If you look at Siana’s background, the possibility is even greater.

‘Perhaps right.’

It was because he was a poor child who was born in the Mage Tower and spent his whole life alone.

‘Whoa.’

How should I comfort you this time?

ahead of worries

I am not very good at appeasing others.

You can see the zoo. It still emits a bright light that makes the night sky colorless.

Seeing those bright lights reminds me of when I practiced ‘Black Fire’ with Siana.

The chatter was annoying, but he wasn’t bored with him by his side.

To be honest, it felt good to be praised non-stop.

It’s one of the few memories I’ve made since I entered this world.

… … Thinking about it like this, I wondered if I hadn’t been too careless.

‘Hmm.’

Feeling a bit of remorse, I fell to the side of the Magical Fauna and Flora Museum.

It is a cool and dark street corner with dense trees blocking even the moonlight.

If you follow this road all the way, you will come to the place where I used to train with Siana.

Probably very few cadets know about this place. It feels like my own secret hideout.

I don’t know where Shiana is, but first I went back this way to quietly enter the back door.

It was the moment when I was about to get out of such a cold alleyway.

‘… … !’

A girl as white as the moon sat alone on a rock.

It was the same rock that Shiana hugged Menya and Rumingi and cheered me on.

‘Siana, are you crying… … ?’

Tears on the tip of her chin glistened in the moonlight.

square.

I heard a sound when I lowered my foot, which had stopped briefly in the air, to the floor.

At that sound, Cyana noticed my presence.

Cyana raises her head.

how much i cried

The eyes were puffy.

It could be seen even from a little distance.

‘under… … .’

this really

When my eyes met, Shiana’s lips trembled slightly.

Then, in a dying voice, he speaks with difficulty.

“It’s Aren… … ?”
