[ Episode 237. Career and Suggestion ]
The origin of my thesis was ‘control’.
And the origin of control could be found in none other than ‘harmony’.
If contradiction and pure understanding are like rock-paper-scissors, control and harmony are opposite to each other.
In the game, the world of magic is overturned once due to the origin of harmony found in the bible discovered by the Empire, and all famous wizards begin to study.
In the end, it wasn’t long before another origin related to harmony was discovered: control.
‘It was all thanks to harmony that I was able to find control in the end.’
When Maxwell came to us, the answer to the question of how to study control with confidence was harmony.
Because there is harmony, it can be said that there is control with confidence.
However, harmony is currently only known to Salem.
i can’t even say that
“Are you sure Adrias will be okay?”
Diane, who was with me in the lab, asked cautiously.
At her question, I just nodded and waved my hand.
“yes. Have a good trip.”
“It’s embarrassing to go alone…”
It was a natural thing after the thesis was announced, but it was only natural that it passed as it was demonstrated right in front of our eyes.
Graduation from the academy is a sure thing, and love calls have come from many magic towers.
And now, being invited to a prestigious academic world, Diene and Lucia were about to set off to give a lecture on the thesis.
“I’m fine, but what can I do? We will inform you of the name of the senior on behalf of you.”
“okay. Go carefully.”
Originally, it was right for me, the first author, to go, but I didn’t.
It was already enough to make his name known in the academic world, and the fame beyond this was too much.
To be honest, the current reaction was not without exaggeration.
“Should I go out soon?”
Research on control was currently in progress.
The foundation was established to some extent, but there were still many holes, and work was being done to fill the gaps.
And since I was aiming for original magic as well as winning, I was so engrossed in research that it felt like a day was short.
Control, a new origin.
Due to the nature of the vessel and the amount of mana that had increased ignorantly thanks to original sin, it was a very suitable prayer for me.
“ah! Adrias student! I was waiting for you!”
Diene and Lucia left first, and when they left after finishing their research, they came out and saw a large number of people waiting outside the laboratory.
I already felt it as a sign, but it’s much more than I expected.
“I couldn’t get in touch, so I had to come in person. Do you have some time?”
“It’s from the Rodlene newspaper! Are you available for an interview?”
“Everyone in order! They said they came from the Agnis Magic Tower first!”
A cursory glance revealed that there were a variety of people involved in the Mage Tower, academics, and reporters from newspapers who had come to cover them.
Some of them were like servants on errands from nobles, but it seemed that noble families were also sending love calls.
‘At least a marquis.’
But now I’ve become a count who won’t kneel anywhere.
The guild run by the family, which gained fame through war and papers, is one of the best in the empire.
In addition, he is allied with Morheim and is favored by Alven.
Above all, he was no longer an aristocrat without a fiefdom.
Cromwell has been recovered and the estate is in good condition.
I ordered Evan to look for the singularity, but so far, months later, nothing much has happened.
“Sorry, but I’m busy right now. When I have time, I will tell you that I have free time myself.”
Jobs that only took up time and were not helpful were rejected.
Besides, you have to keep some distance so that it won’t bother you in the future.
After defeating the people, the place I headed was none other than the principal’s office.
When I arrived, assuming that the story was related to graduation, Deos brought up an unexpected story.
“Student Adrias. Have you decided on a career path after graduation?”
“I have something in mind, but I am not sure.”
After the origin of control these days, the next thing I’m worried about is the problem of career.
In the meantime, I’ve been busy and packed quite a lot of things, but there was one thing left.
Those are playable characters.
I wrote that I care, but since I didn’t have two bodies, I couldn’t take care of her much.
In the case of Diene and Lucia, there was no need to worry, but the problem was the sophomore trio and Benjamin at Monas Academy.
If I graduate like this, you won’t be able to look at me by my side.
“This is actually confidential, but I’ll confide in Adrias specifically. It’s not unrelated at all…”
Theos said something meaningful.
Just when I was wondering what the plan was, he said something surprising.
“The head of the Department of Magic, Burial, has decided to stay at the academy until next year.”
“……That’s amazing.”
This really surprised me.
Something that didn’t happen in the game.
It was the imperial palace that was confining Berial to the academy, but somehow something went wrong because of my actions.
“The only one who knows this is me and the Bahat Master.”
“Is there a reason you gave me that information?”
container! container!
Then there was a light knock on the door.
Then, before Deos could even answer, the door opened and a familiar face entered.
“This is the first time since the speech room. I visited because it seemed like they were gathered.”
Belial Castro.
An unpredictable psychopath and one of the most powerful warlocks.
As befits a world where strength is power, even those who were broken like this were walking around intact.
“Long time no see. Head of department.”
It’s been a while since he stopped taking private lessons.
From a certain moment, he started not coming to the promised place, and eventually disappeared.
“It just went well. We were talking about the dean.”
“Is that so? How far have you been talking?”
“The dean of the department just said that I will only stay until next year.”
“Then can I tell you the rest myself?”
“You do.”
Berial walked over and sat down across from me.
When I stared at him like that, Berial smiled and said,
“I have been so busy that I haven’t been able to teach properly. But it’s really amazing that you’re writing such a great thesis.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“What I am going to say from now on is not what I originally planned. I could never have imagined that Adrias would write such a crazy thesis.”
“If it’s a plan… you mean the dean’s plan?”
“Yes, that is my plan.”
It’s Berial’s plan……
I don’t think it’s a perfect plan just by imagining it.
“As I have previously discussed with student Adrias, the reason I gave private lessons was simply for my own benefit. I was wondering if there was anything to eat.”
“The principal is here too, can I say that?”
“What can you not say?”
Anyway, Torai.
Deos was watching this situation rather interestingly.
“But Adrias’s magic talent is slightly better than average? There was no flash like a flower made of contradiction. So I stopped teaching. I saw it as a waste of time.”
“I understand.”
“Thank you for your understanding. But I was wrong. As expected, Adrias has a spark that others don’t have. I realized later that it was different from magical talent.”
so.
What do you want to say?
Seeing that Deos tried to talk first, it doesn’t seem that strange, but the longer he spoke, the more curious he became.
“I am quitting the academy. And there is a high probability that my vacant seat will remain vacant for a while. There is no such thing as a madman to have a warlock-level wizard serve as the head of the academy.”
“Still, isn’t it a pretty good position to be the dean of Rodlane?”
“Student Adrias. You must know the true nature of a mage, too, right?”
It was a rumor.
As he said, the essence of magicians is selfishness.
The ultimate king of such wizards is the Warlock class wizard.
If that selfishness was more than that of other mages, it would be more, but not less.
“The dean’s position has a very limited range of action. Of course, I was forced to sit, so I behaved as I pleased, but there is a high probability that other people will not be able to do that.”
“Not good.”
“People like the DeBauer might like it. But free mages like me are like shackles. Besides, I have an obligation.”
Swoop –
Burial, who was talking, suddenly leaned forward.
His emotionless puppet-like eyes swept over me like a snake.
“The four tribes were long. Student Adrias, are you willing to try out the title of Professor?”
“It is sudden.”
It’s so sudden that it’s embarrassing.
I never dreamed that I would suddenly be asked to become a professor.
“The two of us have already talked. And the conclusion that came out is that Adrias has proved that he has enough skills to earn the title of professor.”
“Dean.”
I opened my mouth slowly.
“Is that the condition for receiving permission from the imperial palace?”
“hmm?”
After hearing my words, Deos let out a questioning snort.
He looked at Burial as if he meant something.
Burial’s face was still smiling.
With an expressionless face.
“He is also my disciple. Are you thinking that far?”
“You made a deal with me.”
“That’s right.”
When I asked how he was released from the imperial palace, this psychopath……
was speechless because he was full of energy.
“Didn’t I tell you that?”
Theos showed an uncharacteristically slightly flustered look.
However, Berial said with a nonchalant expression as if an iron plate had been laid.
“There is nothing bad about it, is it? This is good for Adrias and good for me. Isn’t this the end of the condition that Adrias put forward?”
“condition?”
For now, I want to hear the story to the end.
“Student Adrias. Your skills have already surpassed most professors. With a sword, of course. But your major is magic. So, I decided to create a special place next year.”
“Are you mixing the two?”
“That’s right. You’re smart too. But don’t worry about getting busy. If you accept the offer and become a professor, you can do as you please. You may or may not have to open a regular course yourself. It doesn’t matter if I just give you private lessons like the dean of the department.”
A position with the title of professor, but only taking care of the rights and discarding the duties.
Certainly not bad if the pay is good.
I was worried about being separated from the playable characters after graduation, but if you accept it, it means you can teach me openly.
‘Besides, Diene will also enter the Rodelene Mage’s Tower. As long as you’re at the academy, you’ll be able to see them often.’
One thing I don’t like is that he plays with Berial.
I couldn’t have guessed that that madman would have sold me to the imperial palace.
It seemed that I was a black magician, and that my ancestors and secretaries of the imperial palace knew about it.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have thought of putting me on the terms of the deal.
“A deal must be fair.”
“Yes.”
“From now on, try to convince me to accept the offer.”
Even though it was unfair, I couldn’t accept it like this.
As he said, this offer was good for me too, but that’s it and this is this.
Belial’s expression hardened coldly after hearing my words.
