Episode 161 King of the Undead (2)
He summoned the lich to the gymnasium and looked around.
Then, I noticed that many people were watching the duel with interest.
‘Now that you’ve come this far, you’re done.’
I had no intention of watching. It is wrong to try to match the subject of the academy, which you do not even dare to have the strength to do.
Hanarich’s expression was calm.
To be honest, in his eyes, it only looks like begging to be killed.
He said while fluttering the magic academy’s robe nicely.
“It is not a small sin to dare to look down on me. I’ll fix your habit here.”
Talking is more like a lich than a lich.
Of course, my skills aren’t great.
Richie grinned at him.
“Is it a crime to make fun of someone who deserves to be seen?”
“You only lived with your mouth.”
“You have chosen the wrong opponent. As a result of that sin, you will live a different life than you do now.”
“Heh heh. The same goes for you!”
Mana gathered from the young man’s staff.
He stood still and immediately memorized the starting language.
“Entangle!”
Thinking of chaining the moves? It’s not really even funny.
Entangle to yourself as a rich man.
He snapped his fingers.
There was no proper chanting, but the roots of the trees began to rot.
The entangle had no effect on him because it was faster than he was growing.
However, it seems that the magic is not over yet.
“Dig!”
A large pit formed in the ground where Lich was standing with the starter fish.
For a pit like this, it seems that the amount of magical power is quite considerable compared to the circle.
A smile came to Lich’s lips as he fell into the pit.
“Grease!”
Having made the pit slippery so that the lich couldn’t get out, he opened his mouth again and shouted the starter word.
“Fire!”
With the words of the young man, the onlookers were startled.
“Wait a minute! Are you thinking of killing me?!”
“No matter how much it is a duel, this is too much!”
With that level of magic, enough people could die!
While suffering from the flames overlaid on the pit!
At their reprimand, the young man shook his head.
“A duel is a matter between the parties! Get involved and get out!”
His sharp tone made me frown.
No matter how much it is a duel, it is a light duel exchanged between academy students.
But you’re thinking of taking your life? He didn’t seem like a crazy guy.
“No matter how much…”
There were cases where people lost their lives during a duel, but I didn’t expect to see it right in front of me.
However, their thoughts had to change.
Richie slipped his foot out of the hole and got out easily.
The young man was frightened by him.
As a rule of thumb, the depth of the pit is over 3 meters. Besides, the place was literally in a state of fire due to flame magic.
It would be quite difficult even for a swordsmanship academy student to get out of it with just a few taps.
Lich activated the mana in his body and approached him at high speed.
In an instant, he grabbed the young man’s head and opened his cold eyes wide.
It was only for a moment, but his eyes were filled with a kind of magical power.
Richie’s signature smile was already showing on his lips, as if he would tear people to pieces.
The lich held the young man’s head back and cast a spell as if whispering in his ear.
“Engrave it. you are an orc in the future Build a colony and live only for breeding. From now on, that will be your only life and pleasure.”
At Richie’s words, his eyes became more and more wet.
It must be proof that he was perfectly enchanted.
“Chwiiik!”
The young man snorted like an orc and turned his eyes to the women around him.
In his mind, only ‘building a village’ and ‘breeding’ were already in place.
Caught under a hypnotic spell, he tried to attack women at random.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Entangle!”
“What are you doing all of a sudden, you pervert!”
Many of those present here are female students from the Magic Academy.
In an instant, he was bound by magic.
Even so, his struggles did not stop because Izzy was subdued by Rich.
The students who saw it must have thought that the lich in front of them must have done something during the duel, but there was no way to find out exactly what it did.
Who would think that a medical academy student used high-circle mental magic?
Richie, who looked at the young man’s pitiful appearance, smiled happily.
“ha ha ha. Now I’ve become quite a match for you.”
The appearance of looking over the women with bloodshot eyes while exhaling a long nose was quite similar to that of an orc.
One of the young man’s friends, who was watching the scene, squeezed Richie’s collar.
“What have you done! Put it back to normal right now!”
Richie’s eyes cooled coldly at his bold action.
“Let go. lower race.”
He stepped back, letting go of the hand holding his collar at the mana pressure that only emanated from one person.
No, it would be correct to say that I had no choice but to step back unconsciously.
It was because the mana of the whole body was violently signaling to retreat.
Just as their duel seemed to be coming to an end, a series of hordes came to the lich.
They, like Richie, wore white robes.
I spoke to him with a smile on his face about what was going on.
“A face you haven’t seen at our academy, is it a new freshman?”
“A good-looking freshman like this is welcome. Ho ho ho.”
At their words, Rich thought for a moment.
‘It would be more convenient in many ways to pretend to be a freshman here. In the first place, these white clothes seem to be their school uniform, so it would be even weirder if they denied it.’
It didn’t take long for my thoughts to come together and the words to come out.
“I am a freshman.”
“ha ha ha. So was it. We’re going to drink from now on. Would you like to come with us? I’ll buy you a drink as a reward for taking revenge on those magicians who always pretended to be lofty.”
“Hey, haven’t you been refreshed for a long time? A scene like that.”
At their invitation, Rich looked at them for a moment.
‘Are one of them a 2nd-circle wizard and the other two normal humans? There’s nothing to be gained from staying here anyway, so it wouldn’t be bad to follow them.’
“good night. Guide me.”
It was an arrogant tone, but no one cared much about it.
Richie, who quickly became a hero to the medical academy students, went out drinking with the humans.
* * *
How long has it been since you entered the tavern?
As Richie entered the tavern in a fresh mood, many people’s eyes were drawn to him.
That’s because the appearance is not unusual.
A whisper echoed around.
“what? Elf?”
“you idiot. look at the ears It is human.”
“But if you look like that, you might be mistaken…
”
Ignoring the noise around them, the man with the best physique in the party settled down first.
Judging by how he walked forward as if he was used to it, he must have been a regular.
As soon as we sat down, a female waitress appeared to take our order.
“Are you here again? You seem to be coming here often these days…”
“Hahaha. No more nagging, give me four of the things I always drink.”
“all right.”
Judging from the fact that he seems to be friendly with the employees, it seems that his expectations were correct.
The two women, excluding the man, were talking among themselves.
“Phew. My class did another dissection this time, but I just couldn’t get used to it.”
“Is your sister like that too? Same for me. It was difficult to memorize all the names.”
Richie was interested in their story.
Anatomy is his specialty.
In the first place, by studying black magic, No Life King, located at the pinnacle, is in front of you, but who is discussing dissection!
From humans to monsters and even insects, there was no creature he hadn’t split open.
he interrupted the conversation
“What are you talking about? Please tell me in detail.”
The way he spoke was still as if he was talking to his subordinates, but now that way of speaking was also fun.
They laughed and said.
“You know Professor Ray, right? You may have just come in and don’t know much about practice, but one of the things he does in practice is dissecting pigs.”
“You dissect a pig? Are you learning black magic?”
At his serious expression, the red-haired woman burst into laughter again.
“what? ho ho ho! no. To be precise, we dissect to understand medicine.”
“Medicine? What do you mean by medicine?”
At Richie’s question, she put her index finger to her lips and pondered for a moment.
“Hmm… To put it simply, should it be called the study of healing people without using magic?”
Richie’s eyebrows furrowed at her answer.
‘Healing people without using magic? I don’t know if there was such a thing in the past in the era of magic, but…’
Seeing that it was an era where many things were studied, there were things similar to medicine.
However, since magic was far superior in terms of time and efficiency for treatment, it soon disappeared.
To be honest, you can heal at once with magic, but no one takes the time to treat something that is not certain.
However, Richie’s idea was half right and half wrong.
First, medicine at that time was not developed.
That’s why the treatment didn’t have much effect, and since it wasn’t cured through an accurate diagnosis, the effect was less than that of magic.
If it was Ray who was doing the treatment at that time, he would probably have been able to get proper treatment.
In the eyes of Richie, they did not recognize the true nature of medicine, so their actions looked like nonsense.
‘To build an academy by investing a lot in useless things. I want to know what kind of crazy guy is thinking.’
If he knew that the person who built it was the mage who killed him, he might change his mind, but he can’t help it because he doesn’t know the truth.
As we chatted and chatted, the drink we ordered came out before we knew it.
The man drank it all at once.
“Haha! okay! I endured all day just for this moment!”
“Ho-ho-ho. To overdo it.”
“But it is true that lectures are difficult. These days, those guys are on the territorial side too.”
“It would be nice if the professor could do something about it… Whew.”
With a sigh, the drink passed down his throat.
It’s not something to blame the professor for, but I felt a bit ironic that the professor just stood by without taking any countermeasures.
The man said to change the atmosphere.
“Still, this friend gave me a thrilling revenge! That’s enough! ha ha ha.”
“It is, however.”
I wanted to say one more thing, but I stopped because I felt like I was gathering to gossip with the professor.
Richie looked at them and thought.
‘You don’t have a good reputation. Is it because of those things from before?’
Even at a glance, they were called the Medical Academy and those from the Magic Academy seemed to be divided.
He couldn’t understand why he was trying so hard to be superior to others even though he was of the same lower race.
I just had a hunch that if things went on like this, something big would happen between them sooner or later.
