Surviving as an Academy Black Magician

… Of course, I wasn’t talented in martial arts.

This is just a product of auxiliary magic.

Right now, a total of 3 layers of multi-strengthening magic consisting of 4 complex spells were stacked on my whole body.

This was the reason I had such formidable physical abilities.

The original weak body is so miserable that even running at full speed for 5 minutes will cause you to gasp for breath like crazy.

muscular strength. fuselage vision. reaction rate. durability too.

In addition, because I am strengthened in various parts, my body now is enough to imitate a ‘superman’.

However, it was literally just imitation.

The bodies of true superhumans, such as those of instructors or knights, differed so much that they couldn’t even compare.

“Exam number 444… . win!”

I filled 3 consecutive victories with a crushing force.

The second and third opponents were all aspiring wizards, so it wasn’t too difficult.

“Would you like to use the naming rights? Or will you stop here?”

A few matches were being played concurrently, except for me, but there were a lot of people watching me.

It is because of the constant accidents around me.

It got a lot of attention in a short time. Frey was also watching me from not far away.

When our eyes met, he smiled lightly with a face that was still worried.

It will be your own support. She was a bright girl.

Beside him, Charlotte Meiji was glaring at me with her characteristic arrogant expression… .

It was a face that looked exactly like Ji’s sister.

“I will use the naming rights.”

“Who is your opponent?”

“Exam number 3. This is Sardin Rundel.”

The ramifications of my remarks were significant.

As a celebrity who has been famous as a genius since childhood, and as a person closest to the top among the candidates for this academy, the surroundings quickly became chaotic.

“A fallen nobleman dares to point out Prince Sadin? Even if you don’t know the subject, you’re oily. Your arrogance pierces the sky!”

“Princess Riddell. You don’t have to be so indignant. Wouldn’t that be a good thing? Since the aptitude test, I didn’t like the fact that I only believed in the family’s reputation and installed it… . At this point, won’t it be revealed that it’s all foam?”

“but. It would be a relief if someone like me followed Confucius Sadin’s toes.”

“That’s right. Don’t we here know Prince Sadin’s skills the best?”

Excluding the imperial family, as the Duke of Lundel, who had the greatest power in the empire, there were also a significant number of followers.

Thanks to that, I seemed to be out of sight of the high-ranking nobles who followed him.

Most seemed to predict a victory for Sadin, but there were also those who did not.

“… Still, it’s a legendary heroic family. It’s the lineage of the hero who saved the empire from the crisis of war, so maybe you don’t know?”

“It is, but… . Prince Sadin is already a knight who has reached the level of the 5th circle. Wouldn’t it be difficult?”

“A family of extraordinary geniuses and heroes… . I’ll bet on Sieghart’s side!”

“Well, then… . me too!”

Most of the people who supported me seemed to be from commoners.

Probably, since it is a world where there is a caste system, those who have not very good feelings towards the nobility seemed to want my victory.

though only a few.

‘… First of all, I’m a noble, too.’

Sadin, with a confident face, stepped onto the pitch.

His gait was as proud and dignified as his brilliant talent.

“It wasn’t just a mouthful.”

“I’m not an idiot who only knows how to make fun of my mouth.”

His face, which had been tinged with composure until just now, turned cold.

“… Did you know that mouth is shortening your lifeline?”

“Confucius should know that too.”

The instructor, who was watching, spoke softly.

Even as an instructor in an academy that advocated equality, it was inevitable to notice the next successor of the duchy.

“Dalian… Can I start?”

Sardin and I answered at the same time.

“yes.”

“do it.”

said the instructor.

“Let each of you choose the weapon you want.”

Sardin chose a greatsword, and I was still bare-handed. he said looking at me.

“Arrogant man… . Are you trusting your bloodline and playing around?”

Of course, no. What I believed in was my secondary magic.

Anyway, the name was a member of the warrior party.

This means that it is not easy enough to be beaten by a kid who has just developed his talent.

“You will find out soon. Who have you offended?”

Instead of answering, I smiled lightly. A sultry smoky glow emanated from his entire body.

“Conduct the match!”

At the same time as he shouted, Sardine’s body sprang up like a spring.

His momentum was strong enough to leave footprints on the ground he was stepping on.

bang-!

My fist collided with the sword rushing like lightning. In the aftermath, the entire stadium vibrated.

“Are you flirting with just this much skill?!”

Despite the reinforcement, the bones were throbbing.

Sardin swung his sword nonstop with furious momentum.

It was a rough, neat, and powerful attack.

At the tip of the sword, I could clearly feel the will to cut me with sincerity.

He swung his sword full of sincerity, determined to kill me without fail.

A gap appeared. Using a big swing, he burrowed inside.

However, in that fleeting moment, Sardin noticed my intentions and widened his distance.

Soon after, his sword drew a semicircle and rushed toward his side.

The attempt was good, but the pace was slow. I turned to the left… .

“——!”

For some reason, the greatsword suddenly changed its trajectory and struck my arm.

I flew as it was, and I managed to balance in the air and land.

Had I been a little late, I would have fallen off the field. It was supernatural power and reaction speed that transcended common sense.

‘I would have avoided it… .’

I felt a sense of discomfort. It felt like I was reading my next move and moving.

The magic power that rose from his whole body covered the surrounding area.

The air began to freeze rapidly. Unexpectedly, it seemed to be specialized in the water attribute among the original attributes, especially the ice type.

He wasn’t called the greatest genius for nothing.

But from before, I sensed a strangely familiar aura from him. What is the true nature of this sense of incongruity?

“How long are you going to just avoid it!”

The cold mana slowly dug into his body.

Without missing this gap, the blade of the sword, which radiated bluish energy, rushed in an arc.

‘This time to the right… .’

This time, as if it had read my movements, the greatsword twisted its trajectory abnormally and slashed my side.

Crimson blood dripped from where the flesh had fallen off.

Sadin, who saw the scene, quietly raised the corner of his mouth.

‘It’s strange… . No matter how genius he is, a knight who has just reached the 5th circle can exert this much power?’

Something was strange. It didn’t show it outwardly, but it was too strong even if it was strong.

It was unreasonably strong enough to far exceed the expected range.

That weird move there. His sword moving as if he was anticipating my next move was bizarre.

“That proud mouth is surprisingly quiet now. Why, did you finally realize the difference in level between you and me?”

The contemptuous gaze, as if looking at a bug, soon changed to a triumphant face. A sense of exhilaration that fills the face.

I calmly met his face. Specifically, he looked into his right eye.

And I smiled confidently.

why did i know now

“What is funny? Did you even go crazy?”

A genius talent as if he sold his soul to the devil.

Unknown discomfort.

Something familiar.

All the puzzles are now put together.

“It was kind of strange.”

The identity of the sense of incongruity was because of those eyes.

Every time he used his authority, the weak magic that spewed out stimulated me.

“What do you mean?”

contractor.

-That’s correct, black magician.

It was a line I had heard many times.

– How is it, is it similar? I copied the work I saw in the creator’s head once. How can anyone know so much about the Law of Equivalent Exchange? . I became interested in the world where the Creator lived.

It’s similar, but more than that, why is your voice ringing in my head?

– It’s so frustrating to just watch it. What would you do if this human being, the apostle of Asmodeus, couldn’t even recognize the contractor? I was sold out.

Is it my mistake to feel that the way of speaking has been patched in a fairly modern way?

Anyway, as I expected, that guy was the demon god’s contractor.

As it was directly authorized by Asmodeus, there is no change. It was really odd.

‘The next heir to the kingdom’s greatest swordsmanship, the Duke of Rundel, is a demon god’s contractor.’

If this fact becomes known to the imperial family, it is at least the gate of extinction. The family name itself will disappear.

If it is a demon with the authority of wisdom and enlightenment… .

‘The 71st rank demon, Dantalion.’

– Dantalion is the only one with that sneaky guy. I don’t know what the price was for the contract, but that young human seems to be able to use some of Dantalion’s powers… . Since we made a contract with him, it can be seen that destruction is a predestined procedure.

The identity of the unusual strength was revealed.

Through the power of enlightenment, he broke through the limits of his talent and grew like crazy.

If my predictions were correct, his right pupil would probably be able to glimpse a fragmentary future that would happen to him.

Ye Jian (叡智眼).

I muttered very little.

“It’s like that. A fool who only believes in Dantalion and the like.”

“What are you muttering to yourself? Are you frightened and out of your mind?”

“Put. Do you think that power is yours? Nothing is free in this world. All power has a price.”

Sadin’s eyes trembled slightly for a moment, but soon he seemed to have regained his composure, and contained a sneer.

“Are you using your tongue when you are in danger? Don’t worry. I will torment you relentlessly until you beg for help.”

I can understand being so arrogant.

Even if I noticed the identity of the Authority, you probably think that nothing will change.

If I were to say that he was actually a demon god’s contractor, and that he was offering human lives in return, no one would believe what I said.

Rather, I will be accused of heresy.

He was so confident because he knew very well that he would not collapse as long as the huge backbone of the Duke of Lundel existed.

“You will regret that.”

Unfortunately, the opponent was not good.

This is the reason Asmodeus is called a demon god regardless of rank, and the reason for her confidence to challenge the king of hell at one time.

It is precisely because of one of her authority, 「Boundary of Nothing」.

A cheat-level power that turns all demonic energy within the realm she declared into nothingness, a contradictory miracle that was only possible because she was originally a chivalrous angel.

The ultimate anti-magic technique that only demonstrates its strongest efficiency when dealing with demons.

Ironically, her existence as a demon was a counter to all demons.

-Keep in mind that the time we can keep at your level is only 5 minutes.

That’s enough.

I murmured softly.

“Territory Declaration.”

I felt a great sense of exhaustion, and at the same time I felt a burning pain in my forehead.

He endured the pain and maximized his senses. It feels vivid.

That this whole arena finally became my territory.

‘Is this the power of Asmodeus… . It feels like being a god.’

At that time, perhaps sensing something strange, Sardin quickly closed the distance. A greatsword that rushes rapidly through the air. Impeccable posture.

It was a truly devastating blow. But my reaction was quicker.

Turning to the right, he extended his fist toward Sardine’s side.

Originally, I would have expected this and made the next move… .

“——!”

Ugh-!

His body shuddered with the sound of his ribs breaking.

I smirked as I saw Sardine staring at me with a distorted face as if in considerable pain.

It was my turn this time. I ricocheted out like a cannonball and kicked at his head.

Sadin hurriedly turned his head and barely avoided it, but it was a vain attempt from the beginning.

What he had been aiming for from the beginning was the second blow to follow.

Using the rotational power of the first blow, he naturally extended his hind legs like water flowing.

Unable to see the future any longer, he swept across the stadium floor without even reacting.

Sardine struggled to get up and vomited dark red blood. I saw that my right arm was wobbly, so it must have been broken. Sardin glared at me with a look of embarrassment and anger coexisting.

“Yes, you bastard… . What have you done… .”

I raised the corners of my mouth and murmured softly.

“Wouldn’t it be like that because I couldn’t even see the front?”
