Dragon-Devouring Mage Chapter 4

Episode 4

EPISODE.02

“It’s late. Russell. Hurry up and take a seat.”

How do you retrace your memory?

Russell, who managed to find his way back to the classroom thanks to beating the fainting coma gang up, let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the professor in this class was not a strict person like Hubert.

Russell went inside and took a seat at the far end of the classroom.

Jerk-jerk-.

He crossed the lecture hall once, but no one paid him a glance.

‘They’d think it was late after being called by the Coma gang.’

For the same reason, it would not have been a big deal if they hadn’t come to class.

It wasn’t once or twice that they skipped class.

‘Of course I don’t know if I hit three people.’

The obnoxious thoughts end there.

Russell put his hand in his bosom.

I took out a small piece of red stone that had just landed on my palm and picked it up.

It was smaller than a fingernail, but it was clearly a magic stone.

It was exactly the same as what I had seen as a textbook when attending the academy before returning.

‘A real magic stone came out as a reward.’

also in the air.

How the hell did this happen?

Wouldn’t it be that some special force worked on him as he returned to the past?

‘Time Regression Green Translucent Window Mission and Rewards…’

All of these were caused by the ring my mother left as a keepsake and the heart of the dragon I saw in the museum.

‘What kind of relationship is there between the two and why did mother’s belongings react there?’

Maybe it’s because he died when he was very young?

Come to think of it, I didn’t know much about my mother.

‘Aside from being a descendant of a fallen nobleman…’

But he couldn’t even visit the royal museum.

Not only are they currently in supplementary classes, but are the dragon hearts decorated in the museum at this time really the same?

I can’t even tell if it’s real or fake.

‘In the end, in order to check the heart again, there is no choice but to visit it at the same time as in the previous life.’

Tsk because there was no room for further speculation.

Russell muffled his thoughts with a light click of his tongue.

Right after that, I looked at the magic stone that had been rolling in my hand.

About half the size of a peanut.

‘It’s a low-level magic stone, but it’s edible.’

After thinking for a while, Russell brought the magic stone to his mouth.

‘I think it’s a bit crazy, but I can’t help it.’

It is written for food, so

you can bite it first and think about it later if it doesn’t work.

‘I hope it won’t break my teeth?’

The moment you bite into the magic stone in your mouth with a faint worry!

The magic stone in his mouth was crushed and crushed.

Rather than a piece of hard stone, something like jelly or beef jerky.

It’s definitely a taste you’ve tasted before.

‘Meat of beasts, especially the heart or lungs…’

It seems that this is how the texture of parts that are not distributed well in the market can be tasted only by hunters who hunt animals themselves.

But why does the magic stone have such a texture?

As the question raised its head, an amazing thing happened.

Anger-.

The energy of anger spread throughout the mouth, and then magic power began to flow into the body.

The flowed mana instantly circulated throughout Russell’s body and rushed to his heart.

At the same time, it was superimposed on Russell’s own mana.

As if they were one from the beginning, the two magical powers begin to blend without any sense of dissimilarity.

Swoop.

[Ingested the lowest-grade magic stone (edible).]

[Acquired magical power in the mana stone.]

[Circle’s mana increased.]

After that, Russell almost jumped up from the spot at the change he felt.

‘Magic power…increased!’

The amount of mana was clearly higher than before.

At a certain point, I felt that the amount of magic power, which had hardly changed, increased at once.

It wasn’t so much that one circle rose at once, but it was a noticeable change.

‘If this is-!’

Russell clenched his fists.

It wasn’t completely, but it felt like part of my problem was being solved.

‘I might be able to solve the problem of the excessively slow accumulation of mana.’

Here, even after being expelled, which he had been fortunate enough to have served as a mercenary the previous day-.

‘What if I add the method that helped me achieve the 2nd circle?’

It can vary.

It can get better.

‘More than in the previous life.’

It was as if a blueprint for the future to be drawn in this life was drawn, albeit faintly.

At that fact, Russell smiled faintly.

The bell rang to end class.

Dang dang dang dang-.

In Russell’s ears, the sound sounded like a blessing for his future.

* * *

‘This is…’

A wooden door that has been cut straight.

After checking the nameplate engraved on it, Russell cleared his throat and knocked lightly.

smart.

“Who are you?”

A familiar voice came from inside.

“This is Russell.”

“Let them come in.”

Upon entering, Professor Hubert sat upright among the smells of old books.

“Sit down.”

When Russell enters, Professor Hubert puts down the book he was reading and invites him to sit down.

Immediately after, his gaze turned to Russell.

Professor Hubert.

He was a professor who was famous for having difficulty with his students because he had a strict and hard-looking look.

But Russell was truly grateful to him.

‘He’s the only professor who didn’t give up on me even when all the professors gave up on me.’

Because I knew that beyond those hard eyes and wrinkled face, there was a heart that thought of students more than anyone else.

The last rank Professor Hubert remembers is Vice President of the Academy.

Maybe if Professor Hubert had stayed at the academy, Russell might not have been expelled.

It was because Professor Hubert was looking at Russell with a positive eye, who was constantly working hard even though he lacked talent in accumulating and extracting mana.

But…

a year before Russell was expelled.

Professor Hubert left the academy for a while and went abroad.

and-.

‘He died in the middle of the research.’

I hadn’t heard of Professor Hubert’s death during the trip.

He didn’t even know if the trip was personal or if it was a mission from the Mage Tower he belonged to.

But if you really come back to the past.

‘Couldn’t that be prevented?’

Professor Hubert, who did not give up on himself until the end, wanted to repay the favor he had received in his previous life, even in this life.

So when Russell is immersed in thoughts about Professor Hubert.

“I think you already know why I called you.”

He got up from his seat and asked a question.

He started brewing tea in the kettle.

I could tell what kind of car it was without even smelling it.

‘Peppermint.’

It was a tea that Professor Hubert often drank, saying it calms the mind.

“yes. I know it’s because I fell asleep in class. sorry.”

“Yes.”

Professor Hubert nodded at Russell’s answer.

“Supplemental classes. No matter how much I heard last semester, it wasn’t like you who always focused in class. Rather-.”

The professor’s gaze changed sharply.

“There is a lot of dust on the robe. Did something happen?”

Only then did Russell, who confirmed the shape of his robe, sue in a small way.

I brushed it off, but there are still traces of a fight. It was because of the dust left behind.

But I can’t say that straight away.

“I fell down the stairs, but the dust doesn’t seem to have been removed.”

“Stairs…”

Professor Hubert was no fool.

There was a certain level of ability to distinguish between dust from rolling down the stairs and dust from sand.

Crucially-

‘The scars are too small for me to roll down the stairs to the extent that dust is all over my robe.’

Nevertheless, Hubert did not bother to point it out.

Instead, he recognized Russell’s subtly changed appearance.

‘Has it changed?’

Unlike before, when he always looked down at his situation and talent, his eyes were overflowing with life.

Not only that, even if they make eye contact with themselves, they don’t avoid it at all.

Feeling like a completely different person overnight.

I don’t know what happened, but looking at the change itself, it looked like it would lead to positive results.

“Would you like a drink?”

As soon as the tea water boils, Professor Hubert asks as he fills his teacup.

“If you give me a drink, I will be grateful.”

Squeak-.

As expected, the strong scent of peppermint blooms through the smell of old books.

Is it because it is a car that I have often encountered under the influence of Professor Hubert?

The scent alone calmed the body and mind.

The only problem was the cracked mouth.

The wound in his mouth began to throb as the hot tea entered.

‘Ugh.’

Enduring the pain, Russell passed the first sip.

“I dozed off for most of the class, and most of the rest went outside to punish myself… I guess the purpose of the supplementary class, review, wasn’t so faithful.”

“…”

It’s just that he couldn’t make the mana circle properly, but at the time he attended the academy, Russell’s writing grades were pretty good.

What you already know without actually reviewing it.

Of course, Russell didn’t bother talking about that part.

Professor Hubert already knew that.

“Today’s supplementary class was progressing from 62p to 74p of the four major elementary studies. It’s not an easy part even if you heard it once in the third grade.”

“I can’t bother the professor, so can I go through it again by myself?”

Hubert shook his head at Russell’s question.

“It is also the teacher’s responsibility to inform the students who have not properly attended the class. But…”

He glanced at the clock on the wall of the office and continued.

“It’s true that I also don’t have enough time to repeat this process for one person…”

Professor Hubert sighed and reached out.

“Before lunchtime tomorrow, read that part and write a report. At the end, add the parts that you were curious about or did not understand while reading.”

He picked up five sheets of parchment lying next to him and handed them to Russell.

“I will read the report and questions you have written and determine how much you understand and which part you lack in understanding, and then I will give you an additional explanation.”

That side would be much better for each other.

Professor Hubert concluded his words like that.

Tring-.

At that moment, a green translucent window popped up with an alarm.

[Mission]

Complete Professor Hubert’s task

Complete Professor Hubert’s task. Additional rewards are paid for the completion of the assignment and Professor Hubert’s satisfaction.

[Reward]

Lowest grade magic stone (edible) + ???

As soon as he finished his words, a translucent green window appeared.

Russell’s eyes unconsciously followed the writing on it.

“Why do you do that? You don’t like the assignment?”

Was it because he suddenly lifted his head and stared blankly into space?

Professor Hubert very little.

I asked without hiding my uncomfortable feeling, and only then did Russell, who confirmed all the contents of the window, shake his head.

“no.”

He raised the corners of his mouth and picked up five sheets of parchment in front of him.

“I really like the professor’s assignment.”
