Surviving as an Academy Black Magician

I spoke calmly without any change in expression.

“What do you mean… ?”

Why are you suddenly asking me this question? Are you simply floating? Why at this timing? Did you actually doubt me from the beginning? Because of what happened in the entrance exam? If not, did you become suspicious because of what happened in the Forbidden Forest?

A number of questions ran through my head, biting tail after tail.

She smiled softly.

“You can be honest. Because you already know everything.”

I know everything.

Are you saying you know everything about my identity? Somehow, I thought that I might have used mental-type magic, but I didn’t even feel any signs.

It was a rule that any form of magic left a trace.

Of course, the opponent was a great mage who was in the ranks of transcendentalists.

There was also the possibility that I used magic unknowingly, but I have the stigma of Asmodeus engraved on me.

I, who was protected by her, did not have any curse-type or mental-type magic. I couldn’t be sure because the opponent was the opponent, but if I used it, I would at least feel a sense of difference.

“I am a little embarrassed. Chairman, why do you think I learned black magic? Wasn’t it the chairman who defended me during the first exam?”

“It was. But isn’t it strange? Of all the many instructors and professors at the academy, the fact that Instructor Rachel, who was in charge of your test, became an evil. Other than that, there are a couple of things that are suspicious, but the most suspicious thing is what happened in the last test. Zail knows best, but the existence of an evil is not something a freshman who is just taking the entrance exam can handle.”

She’s right. No matter how gifted a student may be, he will not be able to handle the evil.

There must have been traces of a fierce battle left at the place where the engagement with Evil took place.

This part was not something that could be passed over with an excuse of being lucky.

“… That’s pretty unpleasant. It is our group 10 who suffered the most in this test! You didn’t even say a word about it, so now you’re suspecting me of being behind it?”

“As you know, Zeil-kun has been receiving reports that pagans who worship demons are rampaging all over the empire. This incident must also be their work. Due to this incident, we cannot rule out the possibility that black magicians have invaded the academy as well. Although it is said that Shin Seongseok was placed, not all students have passed the verification, and there are definitely exceptional cases such as Zeil.”

I let out a sigh of regret.

“ha. I fully understand what the Chairman said. At this point, I can’t hide it any longer. As you know, I am a member of the Sieghart clan. This blood flowing through my body allows me to perform some special tricks that normal students cannot.”

I breathed mana into the seal and summoned a demonic spear. There was a strange look in the eyes of the chairman.

“That window… . It is an artifact.”

“That’s right. The name of this window is Axion. It is a Noble Phantasm written by the first family head Sieghart.”

“The hideous demonic energy felt at the tip of the spear… . It must have belonged to the evil dragon Fafnir. It appears to be at least a mythical artifact, but… . A weapon of this level was smelted by a master blacksmith?”

“I heard that the spear was made by the ancestors after defeating the evil dragon Fafnir and smelting it with its remains. According to the written documents, the founder not only excelled in military power, but also had considerable skills as a blacksmith. It’s a great weapon that’s too good to be used by someone like me. It’s still at a level where you can’t use less than 1/10 of the weapon’s power… . But thanks to this weapon, I was able to protect my comrades and survive.”

After I finished speaking, I looked sideways at Ashtar’s reaction.

She couldn’t take her eyes off the window as if she were admiring a beautiful piece of art. It seemed like he didn’t care about me.

“Well, at this level, I can barely pass. If other professors ask the same question as me, you can just answer like I just did. And it would be best not to take out the spear if possible.”

pass… ? did you test it?

“Are your doubts about me resolved now?”

“Maybe yes, maybe not.”

Great Mage Ashtar.

Among wizards, those who have reached a certain level are called mages with respect.

It means you have paved your own path.

Whether it’s elemental magic, fantasy magic, or creation magic, those who find their own magic and pioneer it.

Among them, there was only one Ashtar who was called the Great Mage in history.

A transcendental person who was bestowed with the name of Luna, the noblest planet. As those who transcended human limitations and became a star themselves, even the emperor, the ruler of the continent and the absolute ruler of the empire, pays homage.

If he becomes an ally, he will be more reliable than anyone else, but if he becomes an enemy, he is one of the most threatening characters.

In particular, the fact that I did not know the inside was the most troublesome.

‘There is too little information… .’

The continent’s strongest wizard. transcendent. President of Salomon Academy. age unknown.

This was the first keyword I set.

That’s why I didn’t know what her disposition was, who the gods she believed in, whether she had contact with demons, her background of birth or the environment she lived in.

Based on the information obtained so far, it is unknown itself.

“In the future, a large-scale search operation will be carried out within the academy.”

“Why are you telling me that?”

“It’s like a service. In fact, I’m not really interested in Seil Sieghart, whether he’s a cultist, a black magician, or a member of a society preparing for a rebellion. I’m just curious about what’s next. It’s been a while since I’ve made you curious, so you have to take responsibility for it. Prove your position and your innocence to yourself.”

‘It sounds good, but in the end you’ll do whatever you want, so you’re telling me to endure it… .’

Then, all of a sudden, I had this question.

For her, if it’s been a while, how many years has it been? 10 years? 20 years? No, maybe it was over 50 years ago.

“Oh hot!”

The floating teacup was suddenly pouring water toward the back of my hand. Surprised, I looked at Ashta.

“You have unpleasant fantasies about the lady.”

You really know how to do mind reading, right? right?

“When you look so impure, even a three-year-old can tell.”

After scratching his head in embarrassment, he changed the topic. Opportunities to meet alone with the chairman are rare.

I had to make the most of the opportunity I seized.

“Has anything been revealed about why Instructor Rachel became the Evil?”

“We are still investigating.”

“Seeing as there has been no news even though quite a bit of time has passed since the incident, the school seems to be thinking of burying the incident as it is.”

“I am not going to publicize this fact until the whole truth is revealed.”

“… What would you do if we, the victims, revealed the fact?”

“Should I respond in my own way?”

“… Is it a threat?”

“Would you agree if I said a favor?”

“If it is a request, I ask that you give me a corresponding reward.”

“It’s a reward… . It seems that Mr. Geil has already received his reward?”

Did I already get my reward?

no way… … .

Mandrake? Did you already know that I took Mandrake?

“Your body seems to have improved considerably since the entrance exam. The flow of mana is also very stable. What is the secret to growing so much in such a short time?”

Undoubtedly. She already knew I had taken the mandrake.

However, if it came out like that, I also had a lot to ask.

“I heard that everything that exists in the Forbidden Forest was created by the president’s fantasy magic. However, the things our group faced were by no means what we would call illusions. Can you explain this part?”

“Have you ever encountered a headless knight holding his own head?”

Perhaps that durahan refers to Illya.

“That’s right.”

“As expected. To begin with, there was nothing wrong with my magic. The difficulty level of the test only slightly increased because the 10th group that Seil Sieghart belonged to met the characteristic conditions. We have prepared all preparations for that.”

specific conditions? Could it be related to taboo?

If so, then it was no accident that I met Illya.

“However, it is clearly a mistake on the part of our school that the examiner in charge broke into the exam. The details of why they broke into the exam hall have not yet been revealed, but it is an undeniable fact that the 10th group of students suffered damage as a result. Something worse than this would have happened if Mr. Seil had not risked his life to stop it. As the president of the academy, I finally express my gratitude. Thank you, Gail.”

Embarrassed by her sudden lowering of her head, I waved my hand. Even if I received praise, it was burdensome for me to bow my head.

“no no. You can not do that. All I want is a reward.”

She raised her head. For some reason, I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that he did this on purpose to see me embarrassed.

“is it so. Since Mandrake was rightfully acquired by Mr. Geil through the test, I will not be involved any further. What reward do you want?”

You knew that too. According to her words, there was a possibility that mandrake was a reward given to those who passed the test by satisfying certain conditions from the beginning.

Since it was not a test that was made to be cleared in the first place, the reward was also prepared with an elixir of great value.

It is a kind of hidden peace.

What I need the most at this point.

“Give me permission to access anywhere in the academy.”

The legacy of the first transcendent, Salmon.

It was necessary to find the whereabouts of Remegeton, the book of magic hidden somewhere in the academy.

“Why do you want that?”

“… … .”

“It seems that you have no intention of answering. well, that’s good Those who work hard should be rewarded accordingly. As long as you enter the academy, I will give you the same level of authority as mine.”

The same level of access as the chairman!

To be honest, I bought it with the mindset that I had to pay for it, but I didn’t think it would be given up so easily.

“Thank you… .”

“However, there are conditions.”

“condition… You mean?”

“Three chances. No more than that. Will you accept it?”

Anyway, I didn’t have any other options.

“of course.”

“great. Just go out Now that the entrance ceremony is over, you can go to your assigned class.”

I got up from my seat. The moment I stood in front of the door and turned the handle, I heard the director’s voice from behind.

“Seil Sieghart. Beware the Blue Cross.”

Instead of answering, I bowed and opened the door and left the room.

Standing outside was the instructor who had guided me earlier. I felt apologetic for no reason at the thought of having waited all this time because of me.

“Follow me.”

I followed him down the aisle. I walked along the corridor for a long time, but I couldn’t see the end.

It was like being trapped in a maze.

After walking for a while, a side door appeared. When I opened the door and entered, there was a long spiral-shaped staircase.

After going down for a while, a wooden hallway appeared.

It looked dusty and untouched for years.

‘Is there a classroom in a place like this?’

A wooden plank that squeaks and squeaks with each step. Along with the unpleasant sound, the bleak energy spread all over the place aroused even more anxiety.

Recalling the building I saw during the entrance ceremony, I was confused whether it was true that I was in the same academy.

‘Patience. What is that again, a trap?’

A hollow in the middle of the hallway. It seemed that a part of the wood that made up the floor had rotted away, no matter how much it had been neglected.

With a facility like this, it was safe to say that it was below the E class, no, the F class, which did not even exist.

‘Chairman two… … .’

The instructor stopped.

“Go in.”

Sigh. Sigh.

An old sign board that is about to fall. It had [1 – S] written on it. I opened the door to enter the classroom.

thud.

The door, no, what was a door, fell helplessly to the floor.

“… pestilence.”

It’s unfair to say it, but it was never my fault that the door was broken.

It happened not because I couldn’t control my strength, but because this door was too old. I swear I just… .

“captain! Are you here? Did you have a good consultation?”

“Zile… … .”

Eden was the first to greet me. He was waving his hand at me, wondering what was so good about it, but I was well aware that even that was acting anyway.

There was no separate mourning house in the atmosphere of the class. Charlotte was unexpectedly quiet as if she had already run out of time, and Frey looked at me with a face on the verge of crying.

The others sat in their seats, lost in thought.

I settled in the right place. I could hear Eden and Frey talking from the other side.

“Frey! Don’t get too down! The chairman said so. As long as we can prove it, we’ll guarantee you a status above Class A! Now it looks like a closed school full of ghosts on the brink of collapse, but it can definitely get better! Let us all have hope!”

“On the verge of collapsing… . Full of ghosts… .”

Frey’s complexion grew paler. That bastard must have done that on purpose.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy watching Frey’s reaction.

“Hey, commoner! Won’t you shut up? burn it out?”

“hahahaha, sorry, Miss Charlotte!”

I was talking for a while when I heard footsteps from far away.

Turbuck. Turbuck.

A sound that languishes without power. Could it be because of the hypersensitivity of the senses? Just by listening to his footsteps, I could guess what kind of person he was.

After a while.

A man wearing a hood came in. Long bangs, dark circles reaching down to the cheekbones, saliva marks around the mouth, dead dynamic eyes.

He certainly had a flawless and beautiful appearance, but perhaps because he was born lazy, his appearance did not see the light of day.

He was a man who made me think that this would be what he would look like if helplessness was made into a human. The man at the lectern looked around for a moment and then approached me.

Standing in front of me, he looked at me with clear eyes and asked.

“Is that the famous Seil Sieghardt… ?”
