My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

35 – Gate Exploration (2)

“yes. I know how to use combat magic to some extent.”

The words of affirmation came out of my mouth.

I thought about how to answer for a moment, but there was no need to lie.

In fact, I am not the first hero to possess various talents such as swordsmanship, magic, and alchemy at once.

If that were the case, it would have been featured on the continent and rumored to be a scoop.

In the long history of heroes, there have been countless heroes with the talent for revenge, and I am just one of them.

Of course, when the first warriors with the talent for revenge came out, it caused a big stir.

Because it was a counterexample to breaking the stereotype that ‘a hero is unconditionally selected for only one talent’.

But that interest soon faded.

– A magic swordsman who uses magic and swordsmanship at the same time!

– A knight capable of self-healing with divine magic!

It must have been this kind of feeling to be a ‘revenge talented hero’ that the people of the continent wanted…

Unfortunately, most of the warriors couldn’t live up to those expectations.

It was close to impossible to develop multiple talents at the same time, and there were many cases where even one talent could not bloom while trying to deal with multiple talents halfway through.

That is why I am now paying attention to each professor.

Because I, who showed top-notch talent in alchemy, also showed top-notch talent in swordsmanship.

It was because he showed equal swordsmanship against the 4th year chief of the swordsmanship department at the Colosseum.

“That’s an interesting story. Among the multi-talented heroes who have appeared on the continent so far, there is no one who can raise the level like you.”

Professor Bluecliffe said with his eyes shining.

Those eyes are definitely familiar enough that I’ve seen them several times.

A look of greed, showing a firm will to transfer to the Faculty of Magic no matter what.

Even though he expressed his intention to refuse to do so, it seems that he has not given up yet.

In a way, he was a really great professor.

“I’m not as familiar with magic as expected. Since I grew up in a family of knights, it’s just that I’m a little better at handling the sword.”

“well. Considering your talent and understanding of magical powers, I think it’s the difference in the field of research… .”

Professor Bluecliffe rested his chin in quiet thought.

To agree.

I also think that if I had focused on combat magic rather than alchemy or swordsmanship and studied it, I would have easily won the top spot in the magic department.

“It’s not long before we arrive. Sacher must have been very nervous as it was his first gate exploration, but let him rest now. Professor Bluecliffe.”

At that time, Professor Melaine came into the conversation in a timely manner.

He could sense that Professor Bluecliffe, a professor higher than himself, was speaking in the most respectful tone possible so as not to offend him.

It seems that I looked quite troubled when she, who was so blunt, expressed her opinion like this.

Professor Bluecliffe also apologized lightly, without showing any displeasure at all.

“I caught Sachere too much. I’m sorry.”

Even so, I didn’t forget to add a word towards me.

“Well, anyway, after this exploration, I have one more thing to study with you. The part about the magic circuit, the gate, and the hero system.”

warrior system.

It is still an unknown area called the most mysterious in academia.

An information window that can be read when being selected as a hero and being given a talent, or when using a magic tool or magic weapon.

All these information windows that heroes can use and read are referred to as the ‘hero system’, and research is being conducted.

The fact that I have multiple talents is also the area of research for these warrior systems.

Because it is literally an unknown area, not much has been revealed despite the high interest of the academic world.

Professor Bluecliffe wanted to work with me in depth on this particular field of research.

“Yes, we will help where possible.”

And since it wasn’t a field I wasn’t interested in, I accepted the offer lightly.

Professor Bluecliffe and I had been on good terms in the field of research before.

The ‘Understanding Magical Circuit’ class was like that, and the contents of this study on ‘Gate Exploration’ were like that.

Perhaps the joint research on the ‘Hero System’ promised after this exploration would be an unexpectedly interesting study.

because…

[Sacher Philip]

-Talent: Alchemy / Swordsmanship / Combat Magic / Divinity / Shooting / — / … …

-Possessed magic circuit: 27

-Inheritance: Understanding / Responsiveness / Coordination

Even me, the person in charge.

Because there were still a lot of questions I didn’t know about my hero information.

Mana Stone Factory outside the Ecliptic.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just a month ago, he visited this abandoned factory to find the cause of poisoning, and this time he was with professors.

The factory he visited after a long time was still dreary, and the well, which was the cause of the poisoning, had a bleak aura.

The Professor’s party was gazing at the deep well lit by the [Light Stone] and clicking their tongues.

“I’ve already seen the gate with the record crystal ball, but… There is nothing really terrible about it.”

Professor Python of the Department of Special Education muttered while looking closely into the well.

Professor Python is the professor in charge of the exploration talent, which accounts for the largest share within the special department.

It is a talent called ‘Ranger’ among the warriors, but it was one of the main talents of the special department because there are quite a lot of talents that go to the special department, and it is used in the real warrior party.

Even at first glance, such a python professor, the dark red gate seems to be a terrible shape.

A strange color that looks like a mixture of black flesh and blood.

The shape of the mouth wide open as if to suck in the warriors.

It was the most disgusting gate I had ever seen.

“There are not many things you can see with the naked eye. I guess I’ll have to go down into this well now.”

Professor Python, who was carefully examining the well from the entrance to the surrounding ground, said.

Professor Bluecliffe also tried inducing mana at the top of the well, but he didn’t see much results.

He nodded as the general manager and made the decision.

“Then, we will enter the dark red gate from now on. As an entry tool, we will use a special wire and hook provided by the Faculty of Alchemy. In the order of entry, Professor Python is at the head, Dean Tarière, I, Professor Meline, Sacher student, and lastly Dean Darunstud will have to work hard. Do you have any objections so far?”

Professor Bluecliffe looked around and asked, and all the professors nodded lightly.

There was no reason to object to the clean command and overall management.

And I, too, unknowingly said, ‘Wow… ‘ came out of admiration.

While investigating the well through mana induction, did he finish optimizing the entry route and order in that short amount of time?

Professor Bluecliffe, who seemed to have no choice but to transfer me, looked a little different.

After such a brief explanation, Professor Python prepared to enter by picking up a special wire and hook.

“Oh, wait!”

That moment.

I stopped the professors thinking I had almost forgotten the most important thing.

As the professors’ eyes focused on me, I took out a few vials from my magic bag.

“Before we go down, everyone should drink this and go in.”

“What is it?”

Professor Darrenstud narrowed his eyes and asked.

I explained slowly, pointing alternately between the vial and the well.

“It is a detox preventative. The poison is released in this well. To be precise, it was in well water. However, we do not know how much water has been drained, and the well itself may be poisoned, so everyone must take this detox preventive before entering.”

“Is there poison?”

This time, Professor Melaine’s face was stained with doubt.

“yes. It is a special magical poison that cannot be cured with ordinary antidotes.”

“How do you know that? How did you make the detox preventive?”

“Ah, that… ”

In a slightly embarrassing situation, he blurted out his words.

It was Morphine and Morphine’s mother that made me aware of this factory and the gate in the well.

To treat her, who was thought to have an incurable disease, poisoned by well poison.

Trying to explain this all at once, I felt my head getting complicated.

“I didn’t come here because of the magic tool production field trip.”

Professor Meline spoke to me in a rather cold voice.

“… sorry. My close junior mother was poisoned by an unknown poison, and I came to this place to make an antidote.”

I slightly bowed my head and apologized politely.

When I reported to her about this gate the other day, I said that I had visited the Mana Stone Factory to investigate the production of magic tools.

To tell the truth, it seemed like things were going to get bigger.

I thought for nothing that Morphine’s mother, who had just woken up from a hospital bed, would go through a hard time being called around after being asked various questions by the investigation team.

Instead, he mentioned that if an investigation team is dispatched, he must inform himself as well.

To inform of the poison in this well, and to provide an antidote.

But the lie was true.

Only Professor Meline had a chance to speak properly.

Still, she was the professor I trusted the most in the academy, but I was ashamed of the fact that I couldn’t be honest with her.

Even Professor Melaine’s face seemed to have a rare expression of sadness.

“We’ll talk about that later.”

Saying so, she took the detoxification preventive from me.

The other professors took the vials without saying anything.

It was an atmosphere where everyone was interested in the gate itself and didn’t care much about whether or not they were interested in the path that led them to find it.

“… poison? A special magical poison?”

but only one.

Professor Bluecliffe was muttering with a blank face.

I shook my head at the low voice.

What kind of research greed did you have to react like that?

Is this the third round?

But those thoughts that seemed like a joke.

I couldn’t help but disappear when I saw his complicated expression.

‘what?’

The face of Professor Bluecliffe, who was constantly muttering to himself, was certainly strange.

Are you laughing or are you crying?

Are you surprised or happy?

Am I angry or sad… .

And the emotions contained in those colorful expressions…

Is it hatred, or is it euphoria?

The words that finally burst out in those feelings that don’t know the answer.

Those words pushed me into the unknown waves.

“Finally found… Venom Arcus… .”

Behind the professors preparing to enter from afar.

I was the only one who heard Professor Bluecliffe’s murmur.
