The Genius Professor Wants An Easy Life

‘… Ugh, don’t take the obvious.’

The past flashed by like a flash of fear.

It’s full of hard work.

Pasts that were never happy.

For a moment, I felt agitated.

‘I’ve never been happy before, I can’t die like this!’

It was then.

The matchmaker’s judgment determined the additional win rate.

-When causing a miracle against an enemy: ??% (Undetermined. Win rate varies depending on the type of miracle caused.)

‘… What does this mean?’

I swallowed my saliva.

‘What miracle?’

It’s as if the message is giving me a hint to cause a miracle.

However, I didn’t know what kind of miracle I needed to perform, and there was no guarantee that even if I did achieve a miracle, I could win.

I looked at the message again.

-Win rate varies depending on the type of miracle caused.

‘It means you shouldn’t cause ordinary miracles.’

Actually, it wasn’t difficult for me to work a miracle.

Because everything done with the magic master’s abilities was nothing short of a miracle.

‘I have to accomplish something that can’t be compared to anything I’ve done before.’

I bit my lip tightly.

Although it was ridiculous.

‘… Still, you have to do it.’

I shook my head.

‘First of all, we have to figure out what kind of miracle needs to happen.’

It was then.

Suddenly, a strange voice reached my ears.

-strength… Is it necessary?

I opened my eyes wide.

It was the voice of the grimoire I had seen in the library earlier!

-Give me your soul. then… I will give you strength.

An offer that should never be passed up.

If your soul is pawned by an evil grimoire, it would be better for you to die.

however.

‘for a moment. What if I use that grimoire?’

one thing.

A method occurred to me.

A very dangerous idea, like gambling.

Although this is a method that cannot be successful unless at least a ‘miracle’ occurs.

‘There is no other way than this.’

At that time, the puppet laughed.

[hehehe, since just killing people is boring, shall we play a simple game? Stay still for as long as possible! I will torture and kill the person who moves first. Now, please hold on as long as possible.]

Stand tall.

With the puppet’s warning, everyone stopped moving as if they were statues.

[hehehe, who will move first? I’m looking forward to it. Cry.]

I swallowed my saliva.

‘What should I do?’

The moment you move, the puppet’s attention will be attracted.

I was hoping that someone would come to save me, but it was impossible.

The inside is already blocked from the outside by a puppet barrier.

Even if, by chance, a strong person comes to break down the Puppet’s barrier, the Puppet will take all of our lives and run away in an instant.

‘damn. ‘I can’t help it.’

Anyway, if you stay like this, your life is dead.

I gambled.

I took a step.

Jerk.

In the dead silence, the sound of my footsteps echoed like thunder.

“!!”

Everyone held their breath.

[Ohh? The first person eliminated is Confucius Banregi.]

To my surprise, the puppet recognized me.

Although it is not an important story in the current situation, it seems that Ban’s patheticness is so famous that even the warlocks of the Abyss recognize it.

I pretended not to hear and started walking again.

I had to walk ten steps to the library where the grimoire was.

It was as far away as the Earth and the Moon.

[Hmm?]

The puppet let out a strange voice.

[…] Are you crazy? Can’t you hear me?]

Wow.

Life came to me.

My stomach started to tingle, but I forced myself to hold it in.

It was important from now on.

I had to take a gamble.

‘Black Flame Dragon, help me.’

As always, the Black Flame Dragon supported me firmly.

“Shut up, you insolent bastard. How dare you tell me to do this and that? “To the shabby coward hiding behind the doll.”

[!!!]

“!!!”

A tsunami-like shock swept through the hall.

“Bah, half?! Are you crazy?”

Emily shouted.

Although she ignored the Puppet’s warning, the Puppet didn’t say anything to Emily either.

All of the puppet’s attention was focused on me.

[…] What did you just say? Did you call me a coward?]

There was a rush of life that was incomparable to before.

It was because of the word ‘coward’.

As a result of the puppet’s ‘disgust’, in other words, I intentionally touched the puppet’s trigger.

However, I did not stop provoking.

“What’s wrong with calling a coward a coward?”

[under… It looks like you really want to die.]

“If you’re going to kill me, kill me. “At least I won’t be scared and tremble like you.”

It was a lie.

There’s no way I’m afraid.

However, the ‘Black Flame Dragon’ gave it great majesty.

“Anyway, the only thing you can do is harass the weak. “They said they would be servile like dogs and not even make eye contact with the real ‘powerful’.”

[!!]

A truly strong person is Lv. It refers to the ‘transcendants’ of 8.

Lv. Because it feels like the ‘Ascendant’ of number 9 is something other than human.

[…] Please shut your mouth.]

“If not, would you like to bet with me?”

[…] bet?]

“Just give me 10 minutes.”

The Black Flame Dragon drew an arrogant expression on my face.

“10 minutes is enough to destroy you.”

[under… !!]

The reaction was absurd.

It’s not just puppets.

Everyone in the hall looked at me and asked if I was crazy.

Even Hans, who has seen me so many times.

In particular, Emily’s gaze was the most intense.

If he were next to me, he looked like he would have put a gag over my mouth right away.

“Are you really afraid of giving me 10 minutes? “You’re a coward after all.”

[…] Shut up. great. I’ll give you 10 minutes. However, be prepared to wait 10 minutes.]

The puppet’s blood-red eyes twinkled eerily.

[I will make you regret being born in the pain of not being able to live or die.]

Okay, that’s enough.

I barely made time.

‘The real challenge begins now.’

A familiar voice was heard again.

-hurry. Go ahead and take me. I will give you strength. A doll like that could be trampled in one fell swoop.

The grimoire tempted me.

It was a dangerous voice that no one should ignore, but there was no choice now.

Suddenly, I approached the study and opened the grimoire.

-hahahahaha!! You passed! Now your soul is mine! Take over your body… huh?

The grimoire burst into laughter excitedly and then stopped.

It’s because I was fine.

-Uh, why? Unless you have a strong mental barrier… ?!

It seemed to be thanks to the Grand Master’s abilities.

‘Fortunately, it was as expected.’

Having penetrated the essence of magic, it seemed as if he was immune to deception.

I started reading the contents of the grimoire.

‘We have to find a way to beat Puppet in this grimoire.’

Yes.

This is how I thought about it.

By exploring the grimoire, you create a way to defeat the puppet on the spot.

Absurd.

This is something that only I can do in this world.

However, I immediately made a face of disappointment.

‘This is dog hair.’

What are Yeokcheon and Cheonwi?

What was actually written was pure nonsense.

It was a fraudulent grimoire filled with the sole intention of seducing the other person’s soul with brilliant phrases.

‘It’s full of traps that will destroy the opponent’s spirit…’ .’

It was that moment.

I blinked.

One thought occurred to me.

‘… With this method, it is possible to take down the puppet.’

I swallowed my saliva.

* * *

Tick.

The hall was covered in silence.

The only sound you hear is the second hand of the clock.

And then, I heard the sound of a book turning.

Everyone looked at the library with bewildered eyes.

The class that proudly made the crazy declaration to the puppet was reading.

Also, a book called ‘General Theory of Commerce’ that has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation.

‘… Ban, you crazy guy.’

Emily made a dizzy face.

She couldn’t understand her ex-fiancé, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.

At first, I thought I was crazy due to a false delusion.

However, when I found out that the warning to Altran Company was true, I realized that Van was not crazy, but had changed.

And now.

‘You’re right, I was crazy.’

Otherwise, there was no way I could read in this situation.

Is it even because of his handsome appearance and mysterious elegance?

The sight of him leaning in the study and reading a book looked like something out of a pictorial.

[…] What are you doing now?]

As if representing everyone’s feelings, the puppet asked an absurd question.

[What commercial book suddenly?]

“Puppet, does this book seem like a commercial book to you? “I see.”

A sneer momentarily passed across Ban’s face.

“If you don’t know, just stay quiet. It’s interfering with your ability to concentrate. “You just interrupted me by talking, so three more minutes will be added.”

[…] I beg your pardon? What nonsense?]

“Don’t talk back. “Additional 2 minutes.”

[!!]

Ban turned his attention to the book again.

Whether the puppet is glaring at you as if it’s going to kill you or not.

With a noble appearance that elicits admiration.

Tick, tick.

A breathtaking time passed like that.

The moment exactly 15 minutes had passed, including the additional 5 minutes I mentioned.

widely!

Ban closed the book.

‘What on earth are you going to do?’

Emily bit her lip.

At that time, Ban’s eyes caught her gaze.

Eyes full of solemnity.

At that moment, a guess came to mind and Emily’s complexion turned white.

‘Perhaps half… To sacrifice for us?’

It seemed like it!

All the crazy things you see now are intentional bravado.

No matter how strong the barrier created by the puppet is, if time is delayed, the chances of a rescue team coming increase.

‘I don’t even know that.’

I misunderstood that I was crazy.

Rather than going crazy, he became better than anyone else and was willing to sacrifice himself.

At that moment, an unknown anger surged in Emily’s heart.

It was different from the anger I felt before.

‘Who wants to pretend to be so proud and die alone?’

They were not of semi-noble blood.

She is also a direct descendant of the 4th dukedom.

We had a duty to sacrifice together.

‘I’ll die with you too.’

That was the moment when she clenched her fists.

Her and Van’s eyes met.

Steadfast.

A look as if it were saying this.

-Okay. Trust me.

“!!”

‘why?’

Emily’s eyebrows fluttered.

Ban turned his gaze to look at Puppet’s doll.

“Let’s make one more bet. “I will give you this book as a gift, so take it.”

[…] under?]

A eccentricity that I don’t understand.

Ban took another drink and raised the corner of his mouth.

As if ridiculing or disdainful.

“If you’re scared to receive my gift, don’t. “It would be too much for a coward like you.”

[…] Shut up and hand me the book.]

Angry energy flowed from the doll.

[I will take a piece of your flesh and stuff it into the pages of this book.]

Ban took a step towards Puppet’s doll.

Jerk. Jerk.

A step that seemed to overwhelm everyone in the hall.

“Now, take it.”

Percussion!

The doll was handed a book.

He looked wary for a moment, but soon turned into a sneer.

[I said something, and it turned out to be a grimoire. With this insignificant magic book… .]

But it was that moment.

The doll closed its mouth.

The body also became stiff.

Like a broken machine.

“It’s over.”

Ban declared.

“I command you in the name of this class of ekklesia.”

A miracle happened.

“Fall down.”

clattering.

Puppet’s doll shattered into pieces.
