Episode 69. Plan arrangement and interview
“…As you can see, when this Flutterus Potion meets kale purified water, a red precipitate is formed and at the same time black bubbles… ….”
Listening to Kyler’s lecture, I remembered a story related to him.
There is still time before his scenario begins, but I need to organize my thoughts in advance.
‘The problem arises when his disciple steals the potion made by Kyler to the outside.’
The effect of the potion is a temporary increase in physical ability and mana efficiency.
Looking at the efficacy, I wonder why this is bad, but the problem is, as expected, the side effects.
If it was an ordinary side effect, it could have gone quietly, but the problem was that it was not ordinary.
Along with the transformation of the body, the terrifying side effect of mana runaway occurs due to the potion.
‘The materials used and the magic used in manufacturing are all related to black magic. Of course, this will be revealed after everything is over.’
The story that leads to Kyler while investigating the case eventually flows into the development of the player fighting Kyler.
Of course, like the early chapters, Kyler wasn’t a strong warlock, but he was threatening enough for a student’s level.
‘…If it’s Diene now, can she win by herself?’
As I was thinking about this and that, Kyler’s class ended smoothly without any problems.
He didn’t show any interest in me except for calling me by name once along the way and praising the potion I made.
‘There’s no way they don’t know me, so I’m just keeping my distance.’
But what can I do?
I’m very interested in you.
There was still time before his apprentice started an incident, so there was nothing to worry about already.
Right now, I just need to prepare in advance by taking his classes.
“senior. Do you have time from now?”
Lucia, who was sitting next to me, spoke to me without leaving her seat for some reason.
If it was originally the same, it would be standard to rush to the lab because of the clue I gave you the other day.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“No, just. You know what a senior told you the other day? That I accidentally made with that slime core.”
“uh. Have you tried it?”
“yes. First of all, I succeeded in making it like the senior said, right? But beyond that, it’s hard.”
hey You say you’ve already done that?
To be honest, I didn’t expect to do it this quickly.
If so, it means that about a quarter of it has come.
“I don’t know what you want more than that, but let’s spend some time together later.”
“Later? Are you busy now?”
“uh. I have something to do, so I’ll go first.”
“Where are you going?”
“The principal’s office.”
Both Kyler and Lucia have a lot of other solutions, but first I have to go see the principal who called me.
* * *
Louis Atman was heading somewhere with a body drenched in sweat from the morning lecture.
After thinking about it for a few days, I finally couldn’t stand it and was on the way to action.
As he got off the train and walked confidently, people around him who recognized him started whispering.
“Chief Monas.”
“What did he say about the Faculty of Magic?”
Ignoring the sound I heard, I headed towards the lecture hall of the Faculty of Magic.
Lewis couldn’t see anything right now.
“ah.”
I finally found the person I was looking for.
It was easy to find because the eyes of the students who poured out into the streets after the morning lectures were concentrated in one place.
‘Adrias Cromwell.’
He was dressed in his usual mage’s robes, carrying a slightly worn-out sword at his side.
A stranger could have laughed at his unbalanced appearance if he had seen it, but no one here could laugh at him.
‘A person who has both the talents of a knight and a wizard.’
I had only heard that it existed like an old legend, but it was the first time I actually saw the constitution.
I had heard that the founder of the empire, Edmund the Great, was of the same constitution.
Adrias, who was staring at the passers-by, stopped as Louis stood there with eyes burning with fighting spirit.
When his gaze reached Luis, the other students’ eyes naturally turned toward him.
“what. He’s the freshman representative.”
“Look at you sweating. Looks like you came in a hurry But why are you here?”
A murmur of people could be heard, and Louis clenched his fists.
It just went well.
You should use this opportunity.
“Senior Adrias Cromwell.”
When Lewis called his name, the students around him watched the situation with expectant eyes.
Adrias, whose name had been called, was still looking at Louis with a cold and blunt expression.
“I thought about it for a long time, but in the end I came here. I know you haven’t fully recovered yet, but could you please teach me a thing.”
After Lewis finished speaking, an explosive reaction erupted from the surroundings.
“Wow Mr. Crazy!”
“What! Did the freshman representative apply for a sparring?”
“It will be fun. Who will win?”
People waited for Adrias’ answer with expectant eyes.
However, Adrias still kept his mouth shut, staring at Louis with his characteristic cold eyes before moving on.
“Eh?”
Someone’s embarrassing exclamation flowed out, but Adrias still walked quietly and passed Louis without a word of reply.
Everyone froze at that terribly cold and cold look.
As Adrias went on his way and disappeared from sight, people began to open their mouths one by one.
“what?”
“I just went.”
“go away. bantling. Do you mean this?”
“Isn’t it because the injury hasn’t healed yet?”
“No luck. I don’t like the fact that a wizard wields a sword.”
Even when people’s reactions exploded, Louis did not move from the spot.
no i couldn’t move
‘no one…Didn’t you feel it?’
Am I the only one who felt this pressure?
Louis barely breathed.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked at the street where Adrias had disappeared.
That empty landscape was like his fighting spirit that had now disappeared.
‘I’m still far away. I have to become stronger.’
I realized it when I met Adrias in person.
People around him were saying that he was the divinity of Monas and that he was the chief who broke all records, but the world was wide and there were many strong people.
Besides, Adrias Cromwell is a student who has not stood out during the three years he spent at the academy.
It seemed that there were more hidden strongmen besides him.
‘The next time we meet, I will definitely stop and stop you.’
His fighting spirit, which had disappeared, filled his heart with another will.
* * *
I scratched my head awkwardly as I boarded the train heading to the administrative building where the principal’s office was located.
I never thought Louis would come find me.
I never even thought about it.
It was like a superstar coming to me in person.
‘Thanks to that, I was nervous and didn’t say anything.’
I never imagined I would react like this.
Perhaps my subconscious thought much more of Lewis than I thought.
‘It’s true that it’s great. Originally, it’s like the main character of this world.’
I thought you would give me an answer.
I just passed by because I was embarrassed and nervous at the same time in the sudden situation.
I had to go to the principal’s office anyway, so I couldn’t do all of his requests, but I’m sorry that I ignored him.
‘It seems that I was nervous and radiated energy without knowing it… ….’
It’s Lewis, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
As I was organizing my thoughts on Louis, the train quickly arrived at the Central Administrative Building.
To be honest, I felt like I was wasting my time because I had a lot to do, but I couldn’t refuse because the principal called and no one else.
‘Since we don’t know what will happen, we have to restore the undead first.’
In particular, in the case of Nickel, whose left arm was blown off, he had to use the corpse of Hosan obtained this time.
Actually, I wanted to summon the undead as it is a powerful villain close to the Aura Master, but in the end I decided to use the corpse to heal my undead.
The moment I put it off because I didn’t have time, but I had planned to fix it today, but even that was distorted by the unexpected call from the principal.
If business ends quickly and I go back, I think I can try it.
‘I have to deal with the swords I got from killing Hosan this time, and there’s a lot of work to do.’
There was a way to use the swords myself, but there was a better use than that.
There were 11 swords of Hosan, 10 of them excluding Hwaran, the demonic sword that Nickel had destroyed.
To be honest, there were no outstanding swords except for the magic sword Hwaran and the Sword Breaker.
‘It was fortunate that Benjamin came to watch the finals.’
The use of the swords was none other than Rubens’ food.
The magic sword Rubens, which is like Benjamin’s signature, was a growth-type magic sword whose performance was enhanced by eating other swords.
I made an appointment with Benjamin to meet separately, so I’ll give it to you then.
While I was thinking, I arrived at the main building where the principal’s office exists.
Compared to the larger building than I thought, it was awkward to see not a single person.
Fortunately, I saw Morgan, whom I had seen in the morning, come out of the magic elevator as if he had been waiting.
“ah! Student Adrias!”
He came up to me with a happy expression on his face.
“Thank you for coming. I will guide you to the principal’s office.”
“thank you.”
Followed him up the elevator and up.
How nice it would be if there was an elevator like this in the Rodelen Magic Tower, without getting lost.
The elevator stopped at its destination shortly after.
Morgan led the way, followed by the door leading to the principal’s office.
smart.
“This is Morgan. I brought student Adrias.”
“yes. Come on in.”
Deos’s voice was heard from inside, and Morgan opened the door.
Following Morgan inside, the plain-looking office caught my eye.
The principal, Theos Canyon, was an old man with long white hair and a thick beard that looked like something you would see in a movie. His benevolent impression and easy-going personality earned him the respect of the academy students.
‘On the outside, but this man is also a bit dark inside.’
Still, it wasn’t that he was evil or anything like that, but he was a nobleman who didn’t need to be particularly vigilant.
However, even if it is not up to the boundary, it should not look belittled.
And he had another hidden secret… ….
“I’ll go back to work for now.”
“yes. great job. Morgan.”
When Morgan left, he told Theos.
“This is Adrias Cromwell. I heard you called.”
“yes. Adrias student. I was still waiting. Did you enjoy the lecture?”
He smiled calmly and beckoned me to sit down.
Then he started making tea himself, and it was his specialty to earn favor with every trivial act.
“yes. Even though I was in the fourth grade, I felt that I still had a lot to learn.”
“haha. There is no end to learning. There are things I have to learn to become this age.”
He took the tea he had brewed himself and set it down as he sat across from me.
Now I want you to tell me why you called me.
“Are you busy?”
“no. I don’t have an afternoon lecture today, so it’s okay.”
“I’m glad.”
After that, he looked at the teapot without saying anything.
Strange time passed.
‘Psychologically it puts pressure on me.’
It’s a trick that will work through sewage.
Since I came here anyway, I decided not to rush my mind.
I don’t know what I called for, but there’s nothing against me at all.
‘There’s no way I would have been exposed to black magic, and if it had been discovered in the first place, it would not have been a meeting with the principal, but the deans or Bahat would have attacked me.’
After some time passed, Theos started pouring tea into the teacup.
“Student Adrias….”
Deos, who opened his mouth while pouring tea, strangely dragged his words.
what am i
“You have changed a lot. It’s not like a normal student.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. Usually, when I enter the principal’s office, I get restless. Student Adrias used to be like that too. Ha ha ha.”
Have I ever met the principal before?
Not all academy students had an interview with the principal.
Let’s refresh our memories. There was a time when we had an interview because of my father’s death.
‘I was insane at the time.’
Still nothing to squeeze
On the contrary, if he showed a swaying figure, he would get caught by that snarky old man for no reason.
Without saying anything, I just took a sip of the tea Deos poured me.
Deos, who was looking at me like that, opened his mouth after drinking tea himself.
“By the way, student Adrias, are you satisfied with your current life?”
“yes. Absolutely.”
After hearing my answer, Theos looked at the teacup for a moment with a moan, then opened his mouth again.
“Student Adrias, by any chance….”
What is it that takes so much time?
Do you want to pursue dual core?
“Are you thinking of changing your major department?”
