[ Episode 238. The youngest professor and preparation for the top]
“Hmm. Are you coming out like that?”
Burial muttered quietly and looked at me.
It kind of gave me goosebumps, but I was able to show my guts.
The situation where Berial used me through a deal with the Imperial Palace.
If I died or got hurt, the trouble was with Berial.
“I thought it was a good enough offer for Adrias.”
“As the dean knows, there are so many places that want me these days. Of course, the title of professor is nice, but I have no reason to accept it as I have so many options.”
“This is the position of the youngest professor. Besides, it’s free. As far as I know, student Adrias must be busy with personal matters because he has a lot of work to do.”
Has this gentleman been digging behind me all this time?
Anyway, he didn’t even think about making the other person feel bad.
“So you’re not going to convince me?”
“Hmm. I’m worried. How can I convince you?”
that’s what you need to know
I was just silent.
If you say anything more, you’ll be swayed by him, so you should keep your mouth shut.
“There is nothing I can do right now. Do you want something?”
Something that can be ripped off from Berial.
He doesn’t know, but I knew more about Burial than I thought.
“You said you were staying until next year? During that year, please tell me the magic circuit tattoo.”
“It’s not that difficult. It’s not even my skill anyway.”
“Among those magic circuit tattoos, the inverse circuit must be included.”
Burial hardened into a smile.
Then he pushed his face in and asked with a lively smile.
“The circuit of inversion. How do you know that?”
“As the dean knows me well, I only know the dean. Will you tell me?”
Silence passed for a moment.
To be honest, I just tried it, but when I saw the other person’s expression, it seemed to be quite worried.
The reversal circuit I was talking about was actually a magic circuit tattoo that could be considered his original magic.
In the first place, the magic circuit tattoo, a magic circle engraved on the body, must have been learned from Salem, but it was a case of processing it and transforming it into his own technique.
“Can we just talk for a moment, just the two of you?”
Berial finally opened his mouth and asked Theos.
Deos, who was still in his seat, spoke calmly.
“There were a lot of things that were pretty close to what we talked about so far, but is it more serious than that?”
“no. I just don’t want to let others know about my private life.”
Burial’s tone changed.
He was always playful, but at some point the atmosphere changed.
“Could you vacate your seat?”
Once again, Burial’s attitude wasn’t very polite.
Theos rose from his seat as he looked at Burial, who gave off a slightly oppressive feeling.
“I’m sure you won’t, but I hope you don’t do anything stupid.”
“Sure.”
“Then I’ll wait in the next room.”
Only then did Theos leave, seeing Berial smiling again.
Theos gave me a look before leaving, which seemed to mean to call me if anything happened.
As soon as Deos left, I spoke first.
“Are your worries over?”
“haha. Student Adrias really has no fear. Is it because we have been on a winning streak until now?”
“Win-win… you wouldn’t say that if you knew what I’ve been through.”
A subtle battle of nerves ensued.
Sending out Deos must actually be a kind of meaningless protest.
It’s like you don’t want to tell me.
“I don’t know how the hell you knew about the circuit of inversion, but what if I mislead you?”
“Is there anything I can do? You just have to learn.”
“It’s bogus. great. Then let me point you to the faulty inverse circuit.”
It was definitely idiotic to say that I would tell you the wrong thing openly.
But instead, he nodded his head.
“You do that.”
In the first place, there was no guarantee that he would inform them properly.
All I wanted was the fact that he taught me the circuit of reverse heaven.
Burial’s expression was dumbfounded for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected my answer.
Then, slowly, he started laughing.
“Puhahaha! After all, Adrias is fun. I ate one of these.”
“Are you having a room? I did as you wished.”
“Yes, yes. Hmmm I thought Adrias would push me some more. In fact, it was a deal where Adrias had the upper hand.”
“so. The bottom line is that you want to teach me, right?”
“of course. I’ll teach you. It’s up to you to decide if that’s the right thing to do.”
I didn’t want to deal with Berial, who smiled and said that.
It’s like having a conversation while facing a bomb.
Because I am now, I can protect my body, so I say this. A year ago, I would have been dragged around without even thinking about resisting.
“Now that we’re done talking, let’s call the principal.”
“wait a minute. Now that there are only two of us left, let’s do one more.”
“Do you have anything more to say?”
“Watch out for the fade.”
“……yes?”
Burial stood up after saying something out of the blue.
Then he smiled and spoke.
“He is much stronger than you think. You should never underestimate it.”
“You seem to be saying something I don’t understand.”
“I dried it in advance because I was afraid that you would rush at me like a moth. It’s a loss to me if you suddenly die. Warning again. If I were to pick the strongest person in the rally, it would be Fade by my standards, so please don’t make the mistake of misunderstanding the opponent…”
Did you know my heart that I would have to deal with Fade someday?
I couldn’t predict where and how far Berial knew.
Belial left the room with those words.
Then, as if to tell the next room that the conversation was over, Deos came back soon after.
“Did you finish the conversation?”
“yes. Thank you for your consideration.”
“No, not a word. Rather, did you accept the professor offer…?”
“yes. I decided to accept it.”
“That’s great! In fact, Adrias is popular elsewhere, so I didn’t think the academy professor title would go unnoticed.”
“It can’t be.”
“Anyway, since you accepted the offer, next year the youngest professor at the academy will be born. It will probably surprise everyone.”
Deos seemed to be happy, his face flushed and talking.
After listening to him for a while, I left the principal’s office, and the sun was setting.
‘Fade…….’
I didn’t think he was such a strong wizard.
Of course, as a warlock, he would be stronger than most wizards, but since he ran away from Evan and didn’t see him fighting properly, there was a sense of underestimation.
Come to think of it, even in the game, I can’t see him fighting properly, and at some point he evaporates.
It is not an episode boss that the player will fight, but a mysterious character who literally suddenly disappears.
“I’ll have to tell Evan in advance.”
It’s not that I don’t believe in his power, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful if the world’s Burial says that.
Burial is a battle maniac full of thoughts of taking on even Salem or Bahat.
‘For now…’
There was no time to care about the meeting.
Because something more urgent is right in front of you.
I checked the undead sleeping inside me.
I felt Timur and Krivmacher, who had finished evolving ahead of time over the past few months.
‘I’ll swallow it all.’
The tower in the imperial palace was waiting.
**
Nuabella, the commercial city of the Empire.
A rare group of wizards and scholarly intellectuals gathered for a thesis lecture on new origins.
At the end of all the demonstrations, many people were clapping towards Diene and Lucia as they descended from the podium.
“It’s really amazing to see. I never thought something like that would be possible.”
“It is a revolution. That would be a revolution!”
Since the presentation of the first thesis was an event only within the academy where outsiders were restricted, numerous academic officials waited for it while biting their nails.
And finally, the first lecture held outside was a success.
A truly explosive reaction.
A few still had their doubts, but most people applauded the paper enthusiastically.
“I can’t believe that this great thing was made by only students. Could Bahat Alven have helped?”
“It is possible, but right now all I can think of is that I want to study that thesis! One regret is that I did not see Adrias Cromwell, the first author.”
In the Q&A that followed the lecture, Diene did a perfect job, so people couldn’t help but think of Bahat, her father.
In fact, those who had followed Diene and Lucia as escorts were the wizards of the Mage’s Tower of Laudelen.
“Anyway, it’s fortunate that the paper’s grade is out of grade. Otherwise, I would have paid an exorbitant price.”
“I must be a little sad. It is an honorable thing to judge out of grade, but there is no financial gain over time…….”
It was almost the first time that a paper outside of grade was published.
Until now, papers were read by paying a certain amount to the paper author, but except for grades, they were released free of charge under the proposition of knowledge for universal improvement.
Of course, it would take several years for the paper to be released for free due to the monopoly rights of the thesis held by Rodlen Academy.
Until then, it is self-evident that the books will be sold at exorbitant prices.
As for the wizards who want to study right away, no one will wait for it to be released for free.
“Are you in a position to worry about that? If the calendar is released tomorrow, the person who will buy it.”
“haha. That too.”
The lecture hall has been transformed into a banquet hall.
Academic officials who gathered in groups of threes and threes to enjoy eating and drinking and discussing the lecture, had conversations about a fun topic that had been around for a long time without realizing the passage of time.
“ah! Miss Diane. The time has finally come for you to speak to us.”
Diene and Lucia also had no choice but to attend the banquet out of etiquette.
There was a lot of fuss as many people were asking questions that they hadn’t been able to answer.
“President Wagner. It’s been a while.”
“Is His Highness well?”
“yes. As usual, my father asked me to convey his regards instead, saying that the president of Wagner would be attending.”
“haha. That’s something I’m very grateful for. I ask for your regards on your behalf.”
Wagner, who has a reputation in the academic world, said with a smile.
Then, after saying hello to Lucia, he quietly asked a question.
“Isn’t the first author, Earl Cromwell, not participating?”
“yes. As you know, this thesis is still a topic with many topics to study, so I am still working on it. Even after the thesis presentation was over, they almost lived in the lab.”
“Ohh. You are a very wonderful person. You will get along well with us.”
“Research is also research, but since graduation is approaching, there are things we have to prepare for…” “
Ah! Are you preparing the tower!”
tower.
Ruins of the ancient era in the Imperial Palace.
It was a stone pillar located inside the imperial palace, one of the few ruins where the divine power remained intact.
To the extent that the Tower of Modras, which exists in the academy, was created for mock evaluation of the real tower.
“I am looking forward to this year. Not only Miss Diene, but also Count Cromwell will participate.”
“I just want you to come back safely.”
“no. My intuition is telling me. This year, the top record will be updated. ha ha ha!”
“I hope so.”
Diene smiled lightly and turned her head.
Her gaze was directed towards the imperial palace.
A strange tension enveloped her whole body.
