Episode 503 School of Dreams (3)
Students who know about Julia will all say this about her.
A single flower that bloomed on a pure white snowy mountain.
It was half awe, half jealousy.
With her overwhelming magic skills and brains, Julia took the top spot among Seorn’s first year students.
She has a pretty face, has roots in the school she belongs to, and even excels as a mage.
There were many students who approached her to make friends somehow.
Even some of the teachers and seniors expressed their affinity for her.
But Julia bluntly rejected all such approaches.
At first, he smiles at the invisible wall and doesn’t even respond.
If you feel like coming to it and approach it more tenaciously, then you say it coldly with a face as if frost has settled down.
tell it off
So, even though Julia was a freshman, she became a child who couldn’t do anything with her seniors.
He has an excellent background as an unusual magician, and he doesn’t even get close to anyone.
It has a lofty, haughty, and mysterious image.
In a sense, Julia has become a trademark of its own among the students.
‘That kind of Julia…’
Ludger stared silently at Julia as she kicked the door in anger.
“Oh little! You’re doing this because you’re pissed off like a moth!”
What should I say about her showing off her emotions without thinking about hiding them and getting angry at the other person across the door?
It was so different from what I saw in Seorn Academy, that I wondered if it was someone with the same name who only resembled his face.
“Uh huh? kick the door? this won’t work Were you an uninvited guest? If that’s the case, I can’t let you in any more.”
With giggles from beyond the door, the old man hammered in a nail.
Julia, who had been acting energetic, opened her ax eye.
“Are you really going to do this?”
“It really will be like this~.”
“Oh really. Don’t follow me.”
“Oh really. Don’t follow my words.”
“How old are you, but you’re still childish…!”
Only then did Julia realize that Rudger was by her side and managed her expression.
I guess it’s too late for that.
“Hmmmm. I brought guests, but are you still going to be like this?”
“customer?”
Only then did a voice from the other side of the door respond with an enticing response.
“What guest?”
“A person who wants information about the depths of Dreamland.”
“what?!”
The door, which had been closed tightly, opened suddenly.
“Ah, then speak right away!”
The one who opened the door was an old man with a long beard.
Looking at his appearance alone, he looked like a typical wizard with long white beard and long hair from the old days.
The mischievous smile on her face and her innocent, childlike emotions erased the solemn impression at once.
“Oh, is this the person? Welcome Welcome! What a handsome young man! So, what wizard are you from?”
The old man smiled and greeted Ludger.
It seemed that it was not unusual to see a happy expression on his face.
Although he heard the words, the atmosphere was really welcoming, and Ludger was embarrassed inside, but cautiously asked the old man’s reaction.
“Don’t you know who I am?”
“huh? Who are you?”
“….”
It wasn’t that he was overly self-conscious, but now there were many people who recognized Rudger by his name.
However, the old man in front of him seemed to have no idea who Ludger was.
If you belonged to a school of this size, wouldn’t you have heard about the source code?
Not even in a distant foreign country, but within the empire.
The sound of giggling from the side ticked Rudgar’s nerves.
When I turned my head, Julia was smiling slightly as if she had seen a very interesting sight.
“teacher. How can you say that so confidently?”
“Because you deserve it.”
Rudger decided to go out brazenly.
Julia shook her head, suppressing her laughter, as if she could not deny that part.
“Yes. Who else would speak so confidently, if not a teacher? However, these people are a bit of an exception. I have no interest in the outside world.”
“Ew? Were you a little famous? This one we don’t know about that. They are all sleepy people.”
The old man’s words put emphasis on the story.
“Whatever it is, welcome to our dream school!”
The moment the old man smiled and spoke, a beam of light made of magic passed through his forehead.
It was an attack that Julia used magic to launch.
Rudger wondered what was going on, but when he saw the old man with a pierced brow grinning, he fell silent.
“Giggle. This doesn’t work.”
“Chit.”
Julia clicked her tongue.
The old man’s body was scattered like an illusion and then appeared like a mirage in another place.
“Illusion magic?”
“oh. Did it look like that? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.”
It definitely looks like that.
The old man knew the situation here too well to call it an illusion.
However, as Ludgar, he had no choice but to think that way because he had seen an illusion with physical power.
“This is a far more complex technique than illusion magic.”
The old man giggled and floated in the air.
It was not magically floated, nor was it floating magic.
It was literally moving as if it was swimming in the air.
Rudger looked carefully at the scene and came up with an answer.
“It’s an out-of-body thing. Did you mix necromantic magic?”
“oh.”
The old man stopped floating in the air and kept his eyes open.
“I didn’t know that there would be someone who would guess this right away when they saw it at first. Even the guys here got it wrong a few times.”
“Looks like the real body is somewhere here. However, if the soul is out for such a long time, the connection with the body will be weakened and it will be difficult to return to the previous one.”
“Kill. That’s all I know did i just say This isn’t normal magic. Of course, I mixed my dream magic into it.”
“You mean dream magic?”
“My body is sleeping soundly now. The moment I fall asleep, my mind can roam freely like this. What’s the point of doing that!”
The old man spread a finger and exclaimed proudly.
“They say you can keep playing even when you sleep!”
“….”
…practical?
He said he was playing, but he wouldn’t be playing all the time.
If you are a wizard, you will definitely continue your quest for magic.
However, even if there are 24 hours in a day, not all wizards use that time intact.
Even if you reduce sleep and reduce it, in the end, people should get at least 6 hours of sound sleep.
Even if you sleep less than that, you will get more than 4 hours of sleep.
For those who seek magic, it was said that they lose 4 hours a day.
But with out-of-body through this dream magic, I didn’t have to worry about that at all.
If you are tired, you can sleep.
The body will sleep, but the out-of-body mind will be able to study magic again.
Besides, just looking at the part that opened the door, it was clear that it could interfere with things in its own way.
In a way, it is magic that wizards really dream of.
‘for a moment. If this is taught to the graduate students of Ceorn.’
Isn’t it possible to implement infinite power that does not rest just by continuing research for 24 hours?
“teacher. Aren’t you thinking of something scary?”
Julia trembled as if she felt a disturbing expression next to her.
It was an instinctive fear that can be experienced as a student.
What a rude thing to say.
Rudger was embarrassed and turned away.
“…Anyway, as you just heard, I want to know how to go into the depths of Dreamland.”
“Depth. this is true Now that I live, I wonder if people like this are visiting again.”
The old man stroked his beard and then disappeared like an illusion.
But this time it didn’t show up again.
Instead, after a while, the real old man approached with the sound of footsteps from beyond.
“You can’t stay out of your body all the time. Come in at once.”
Rudger headed inside the mansion.
It was quiet inside. The mansion itself was well maintained, despite being unoccupied. There was no dust to be seen anywhere.
Rudger could easily guess that this was also the power of magic.
“Come to think of it, I didn’t introduce myself. I am Jantman, a magician belonging to the Dream School here.”
“This is Rudgar Chelsea.”
“okay. Are you working as a teacher in Seorn? That would be a tough job. Aren’t there hundreds of kids like our youngest in one class?”
At Zandman’s words, Julia became furious.
“I beg your pardon?”
“Look at that. Opening your eyes to your seniors. I wonder if there is anything in the world that reads more than me.”
“This old man is really…”
“Ouch. Watch your head.”
Just then, white smoke rose from one side of the hallway.
Sandman ducked to avoid the smoke.
Rudger and Julia dodged the same.
“What is that?”
“It’s called dream fog, and it’s magic that puts you right into sleep when you touch it.”
“Why is something like that wandering around the mansion?”
“This is why we, the dream school wizards, have to dream a lot, but don’t we have to sleep a lot to do that? But again, people can’t sleep all day. There are people like that, but on the other hand, there are people who can’t sleep for a long time due to their constitution.”
There were times when I got insomnia from sleeping too much.
That magic was made for that, said Jantman.
“I need to sleep but can’t sleep? All you have to do is call the dream fog. Then come find me. As it is, if you take a few breaths in the dream fog, you will be able to sleep right away.”
…is it practical?
“However, if you make me dream like that, there is also a fog that wakes me up. Weather clouds are floating clouds that are light green, unlike white. On the contrary, it plays the role of awakening the mind when you have just woken up.”
“Awakening the mind means…”
“Isn’t it normal for people to jump out of bed right away when they open their eyes? My body is fine, but my mind is tired, and if I close my eyes again, I think I will sleep again, but I have to wake up.”
I thought I knew what it was just by hearing it.
Because it’s a common thing that everyone has experienced.
“But what about those weather clouds? I’ll let him suck the energy out of his sleep so he can wake up right away in the morning.”
“By the way, why was it just a fog and this one a cloud? It must have looked similar.”
“They were made by different wizards. However, I made it belatedly as a weather cloud, but I tried to call it fog, but the guy who made the dream fog got angry at me and told me not to copy the name. That’s why I changed it to a cloud.”
For such a simple reason?
Rudgar gradually began to realize that the dreamer magicians were really insane.
Inside the mansion, there were many other things.
A soft pillow that sounds a lullaby when you lie down.
A sleep mask that makes you dream right away when you put it on your face.
A crystal ball that reminds you of a dream you had.
Somewhere out of the ordinary, there were also many strange things about how they were made.
It was the same with magic tools, but also with various magic.
“But where are we going?”
“The information about the depths of Dreamland you are looking for is extremely confidential, known only to elders within our school. Of course I’m going to visit them.”
“It looks like everyone is in the mansion.”
“It is in the mansion. Not sure if he’s awake or not. They are all sleeping.”
“Sleeping means…”
“Dreamland. In the end, the most important issue of our daydream school is Dreamland, whether we sleep or wake up.”
The quest for a new world is what every scholar dreams of.
However, Dreamland is a place where only Dreamwalkers can properly explore it.
It was Sandman’s argument that having such a talent meant that he was given a duty at the same time.
“Well, I came here because I like being able to play while sleeping.”
He was a child with a giggle and a smile.
All of the old wizards I’ve met recently seem dignified, so on the contrary, the image of Zandman came to me in a fresh way.
“Here it is. This is the bedroom where mages from our school usually live.”
“Bedroom…”
I felt that the idea that they were gathered in a bedroom, rather than a research room, was somehow strange, but very fitting.
When I opened the door wide, the inside wasn’t as closed as I thought.
It was a bedroom, so I thought of the sight of everyone laying on a bed and lying there, but it wasn’t to that extent.
There was a bed, but other than that, like wizards, all kinds of research materials were lined up, and some were floating in the sky or muttering something awake.
Looking at it this way, it seems strangely like a psychiatric ward, but this was surprisingly the scene of an ordinary school.
Magicians belonging to the School of Dreams were basically older.
The sex ratio of men and women was similar, but the youngest person also looked over 30 years old.
However, despite these differences, there was a common reaction they showed, and that was their attitude toward Julia.
“uh? The youngest is here!”
“What? Is the youngest here? No, why did you come without contact?”
“Everyone, don’t just sleep, wake up! Our youngest is here!”
“Maknae! I bought cinnamon candies for you!”
Seeing the wizards making a fuss, Ludger glanced at Julia.
Julia had her head bowed, but her slightly exposed ears were flushed red.
The clenched fists were shaking.
