Episode 22. Return, daily life, and use
Lucia Everlast was rubbing her eyes and yawning while wearing her school uniform and pajamas underneath.
A pillow was tucked under one side of her.
“Hey, did you hear this time?”
“what? Are you talking about the black magician again?”
“uh. I know.”
“It’s noisy every day these days, how can you not know? Even if you open the tablet right now, all it says is that.”
“Hey, isn’t it great? Honestly, the appearance of a black magician is an issue, but the academy students caught it. No matter how helpful the assistant is, it’s amazing.”
Lucia, who was walking toward the lecture hall, suddenly listened to those who were walking on the same path as her and talking.
Then she barged in without knowing who they were.
“that. Our ancestors did it.”
“Yes yes?”
“Lucia Everlast?”
The sudden appearance of Lucia made the two students of the Faculty of Magic stop at a loss.
But Lucia walked her way as if nothing had happened.
I didn’t forget to say a word on the way.
“Senior Adrias Cromwell, a 3rd year Faculty of Magic, caught a black magician.”
Lucia’s rare smile spread like cherry blossoms.
The students just stared blankly at Lucia.
* * *
About 5 days have passed since I returned to the academy.
In the meantime, I was called by the investigator even on weekends and cooperated with the investigation.
Since it was an incident involving a black magician, this incident caused quite a big issue within the academy.
‘Fortunately, the evaluation score is perfect.’
Even though two of the members were missing, the evaluation was perfect.
This was also thanks to catching the black magician in the end.
rattle.
When I opened the door to the classroom and entered, the students who noticed my appearance stopped chatting and couldn’t take their eyes off me.
Then, the buzz at me was strangely irritating.
“what. If you have something to say, say it yourself.”
After I finally said something, everyone shut their mouths and averted their eyes.
“senior.”
But only one Lucia was still looking at me.
Lying face down on a pillow I don’t know where it came from.
She patted his side with the palm of her hand, as if telling her to sit next to her.
I can’t ignore that… ….
Eventually, as she approached and sat down next to her, Lucia with sleepy eyes let out a bashful laugh.
“senior. Did you do the same this time?”
“What do you do? He died and came back to life.”
“But, in the end, he lived. Catch the black magician. I heard that the imperial investigation also gives a commendation?”
“It doesn’t.”
“I heard that there is also a bounty? Senior, please buy me some food.”
What a shame.
Eat the flea’s liver because there’s nothing to eat.
“I am the beggar.”
“no way. I heard that the bounty is 30 million Will?”
“Where did you get that from? Anyway, that’s not all mine. Divide it into thirds and share.”
“Even if you count it like that, it’s 10 million? We made potions the other day and didn’t even have a party to celebrate our success.”
I don’t know why the hell you’re doing this.
A girl from a wealthy adoptive family would dare to rob me of my money?
Still, as she said, the bounty was large, so I decided to skip it.
It’s about a meal.
“okay. I lost. Instead, I won’t be going where I went with you before.”
“Hi-Hi. all right. When are you going? Shall we go today?”
“There is still a bounty….”
Before I could finish my sentence, Professor Burban entered.
After class was over, I said let’s talk and then focused on the lecture.
* * *
Contrary to what I said to talk about after class, Lucia made me solve the story of the day the incident happened throughout the class.
And when the lecture was over, she followed me.
I had never been so clingy until after a lecture like now, so I asked her.
“Do you have anything else to do?”
“why?”
“Why are you saying that because you are following me?”
“Ummm, not today.”
Lucia is chasing me, so today I’m not good at making potions.
I still had to hide the fact that I had made a new potion, so I ended up going to a restaurant to eat.
“Where are you going?”
“To eat.”
“let’s go together!”
It’s still a bit early to eat dinner, but I thought I’d eat it quickly, digest it, and then exercise.
It was a fun day to exercise because I felt like I was more used to gaining talent and handling my body through this incident.
When I entered the student cafeteria, I was greeted with the same stares as I felt in the classroom.
“Oh oh. Are you a popular senior?”
“I know. I am very popular. good good.”
As I muttered in a soulless voice, Lucia burst into laughter as if it was so funny.
In a situation where I couldn’t be bothered to tackle anymore, I ordered cheese fondue wild boar ribs.
“Is that delicious?”
“uh. I like it.”
“Then I should eat them too.”
After receiving the food, we found a seat and sat down.
Amidst the burdensome gazes, I quietly started eating.
“senior. How do you eat this?”
Even though food was placed in front of her, Lucia, who had been still, asked me abruptly.
Is it because I grew up precious as the only daughter without a son? It’s just eating pork ribs with cheese, but I didn’t even know that.
“Dip the meat like this and eat it.”
“Ah, there are foods like this.”
“Do you try it first?”
“This is my first time learning.”
“What do you usually eat?”
“I just order today’s menu through room service. Because it bothers me.”
okay. Where would you like to study?
Still, it wasn’t too bad to eat with someone after a long time.
Rather, sometimes I thought it would be okay to eat like this.
‘Was it lonely?’
When I think about it, just like in my previous life, I felt like I was running too fast in this life.
Sometimes, that’s why I thought it wouldn’t be bad to have a meal and chat with the people I’ve become close to like this once a month.
‘Well, at least there’s none other than Lucia.’
Would you have imagined that I would become friendly with a playable character that might kill me.
Lucia, holding pork ribs wrapped in cheese in her hand, felt fresh.
It was also funny how his eyes, which were always half-closed with sleepy eyes, widened.
“it is delicious.”
“okay? Eat a lot.”
“It tastes very fattening. That’s why seniors work out.”
“yes.”
I finished my meal, brushing off Lucia’s nonsense.
Swoop.
“hmm?”
As I was frantically eating ribs, I felt someone sitting next to me.
Lucia also looked at the person sitting next to me with question marks on her face.
“who…?”
Lucia asked and I said, barely passing the meat down my throat.
“Vivian?”
The green-haired woman sitting next to me calmly was none other than Vivian.
She was just sitting next to me and I wanted something like this.
“For some reason, from the Knights Faculty to this point…?”
When I asked if she had come to see me for something related to the Voloric case, she turned her head and made eye contact with me, just staring at me.
What? It’s scary because you don’t say anything and just watch.
“just.”
That was all.
After that answer, she just sat still, looking forward again.
If you look at it from the side like this, it looks fine again.
If someone didn’t know her, she would have only seen her as pretty with her green hair and graceful features.
Of course, even when viewed objectively, she was a beautiful woman with a neat appearance.
It’s crazy and it’s a problem.
“Who are you?”
“During the evaluation, it is said that I am Jo Won and that I am Vivian Belokan, a 3rd year student at the Faculty of Engineering….”
really why did you come?
Vivian seemed unwilling to open her mouth.
“You are a strange senior. Just like Adrias-senpai.”
“What am I special about?”
While answering, I secretly looked at Vivian.
Could it be because of what happened at the barrier?
Could it be that the fairy knows that I am?
Still, I couldn’t speak first because I wanted to.
The moment I first mention fairies, it’s like admitting that I was a fairy.
After such an uncomfortable meal, I was about to go back to the dormitory, but Lucia and Vivian caught up with me.
“Hey ladies? I’m going to go back to the dormitory now, but can’t we both go our separate ways?”
“I’ll see you off, senior.”
“me too.”
What kind of situation is this?
My bones hurt.
“Hehe. guy! There must have been a reason for making such a potion.”
All three of us were startled by the sudden voice of a third person and looked around.
“It’s here.”
The place where the voice came from was above the tree lined roadside.
Bahat, dressed in a white suit, stood centered at the top of the tree.
“Top Lord? What are you doing there?”
When I said something stupid, Bahat clicked his tongue and came down.
“It’s a very good seller. Adrias Cromwell. To think he was playing with two women.”
“haha. yes what But why are you dressed like that… …?”
Bahat’s mouth looked as if it were stitched with thread.
It didn’t look good, but I wondered why he was doing that this time.
“I am training.”
“yes. You see.”
I didn’t want to get involved too deeply, so I just skipped it.
However, it seems that Bahat had no intention of just letting go.
“Aren’t you curious?”
“Isn’t it similar to the training you blindfolded last time?”
Finally, when we matched it to his rhythm, he clapped his hands.
“That is correct! A wizard must be careful with his mouth. So I was practicing silence.”
old man Are you speaking well now?
I don’t bother to tackle it because I think things will be annoying.
“Did you catch the warlock this time?”
“yes. Caught with a classmate here. I was lucky.”
He took one look at Vivian, whom I pointed at, then looked back at me, seemingly disinterested.
“Didn’t he have an artifact or something?”
I reflexively calmed down at the sudden question.
Did you ever notice
Frankly, I couldn’t say for sure that there were no traces of indolence left at the scene.
At first, he shook his head.
“I did wear a mask, but I don’t know about anything else.”
“Hmm. okay?”
His sharp eyes swept over me.
However, even that was only for a moment, and Bahat, who let out a choking laugh, touched my head.
“Your guy can’t be that big of a guy. done. pretend you didn’t hear Are you better prepared for a bet than that?”
“yes. I work in the lab every day.”
“I have no intention of acknowledging that you captured the warlock. It should be ready before the end of the year.”
Bahat disappeared in an instant, just like when he appeared at the end of those words.
The thing I’ve been most concerned about lately is sloth’s page, but thanks to Bahat, my awareness has increased.
“If I become the Archmage, will I become as strange as the tower lord?”
“It’s still strange enough, so don’t worry unnecessarily.”
Seeing Lucia inflate her cheeks in a cute way at my words, I had a wild idea that there were people who actually puffed up her cheeks.
So we arrived at the ash dormitory where I was staying and said goodbye.
Until we parted, Vivian didn’t say anything, just looked at her from time to time, and I don’t know what she was thinking.
On the contrary, it was uncomfortable to be stabbed for no reason, but it made me weak because I remembered the young Vivian I saw in the barrier.
Returning to my room, I now felt the need to dispose of the pages of indolence.
‘No matter how I think about it, what I have is dangerous.’
If I had a free identity and skills that would not be tied down anywhere… ….
If I were recognized as the owner of the item… ….
No. Even if you think so, sin-related items are dangerous.
‘It’s a joke.’
He couldn’t summon Nickel because he was carrying Nickel.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t even get swordsmanship lessons for five days.
The moment he was summoned, the sloth page would also come out, and in that case, it was clear that all the black magicians in the academy would notice.
‘Perhaps even Bahat will notice.’
If you’re a wizard of that level, even if you’re not a warlock, you’ll be able to feel it.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally came up with a way to use it.
If things go well, maybe I can improve my black magic skills.
‘Although there is a premise that it will work out well.’
For planning purposes, it would be best if it was Friday, the day before the weekend.
‘There are too many variables, but I can’t help it.’
I used to be used all the time, but isn’t it time for me to use it too?
I wondered how the handsome master’s face would change.
