Academy’s Second Seat

After breaking up with Professor Robert, I headed straight to the library.

“What book are you looking for?”

“The basics of black magic.”

“uh… … The book on the basics of black magic is in column T.”

I could easily get a book on the basics of black magic.

If the level of difficulty increased a little, the professor’s permission was required, but it was not a book about the basics.

I picked up the book and began to read it slowly.

Basic theories of black magic.

There were familiar theories and there were unfamiliar theories.

And I saw the most striking part.

Read at readwn.com

“Mental pollution… … .”

A phenomenon that also happened to Luna.

It was the most representative risk of black magic.

The risks of black magic could be divided into two categories.

One is to dedicate a part of oneself or to use something or something.

There was nothing to worry about as this can only be used if the magic level is higher anyway.

The second was mental pollution.

There were many different types of mental pollution.

Luna’s mana runaway was one of them, and there were cases where she was cursed by recoil.

The reason there is such a recoil is because the method of using black magic and other magic is completely different.

The basic magic usually decides on a vessel to hold water.

When you use that magic, you decide how much you want to use, and add water to your mana.

And when the bowl is full, mana automatically stops.

It was like a modern automatic system.

However, black magic was different.

There is already a fixed vessel when using black magic, and I put water in that vessel myself.

I had to control the water myself.

If the mana is overflowing, the recoil will cause mental contamination, and if the mana is insufficient, the magic will not work properly.

This was the biggest weakness of black magic.

“persimmon… … is it.”

So, black magic was magic that relied on the senses.

Those who have used certain magic a lot will be very good at it and can handle it like ordinary magic.

However, those who were not able to do so continued to suffer from mental pollution and had to work hard.

Until you learn a certain persimmon.

And it wasn’t the only downside.

Even someone who has used a certain magic a lot can be different depending on the environment.

If you want to use black magic in a sudden situation, you may be embarrassed and fail to control the amount of mana.

That’s why everyone was reluctant to use black magic.

However, black magic has a power that can ignore all these shortcomings.

It also has excellent application power compared to other magic.

Overwhelming power and application power.

This was black magic.

The next day’s magic practice class.

“I will end my class here today.”

I closed the book with Professor Cromwell’s words.

As I was packing up my luggage, Professor Cromwell spoke to me.

“Rudy Astria, I heard you had a bet with this guy Robert?”

Having said that, Lee looked at me.

I answered Professor Cromwell’s question without paying any attention to Lee.

“you’re right. When I asked him to tell me about black magic, he put a condition on it.”

“Black magic?”

Hearing that, Lie reacted once more.

“Hmmm… … .”

Rie coughed and turned her head to see if she was embarrassed by her sudden reaction.

Professor Cromwell looked at Lee like that for a moment, then looked at me again.

“It’s your choice, so you’ll be fine. i get it. Good luck.”

“thank you.”

Professor Cromwell finished his words and left the classroom.

And seeing Professor Cromwell all leaving, Lie frowned and opened her mouth.

“hey! Black magic!”

it was fine though

I had something to ask of Lee.

“What happened?”

“It is so, it is so! Just say you can’t do it right now.”

“no.”

At my words, Lee grabbed her head.

“I thought it was fun not knowing where to fry, but being a colleague is so annoying… … .”

“I don’t think I’m that bubbly?”

“Once that was done. Why do you want to learn black magic? If you want to learn intermediate magic, learn ordinary magic. There’s also the Astrian family’s magic later, right?”

what it is

A magic created by the Astrian family.

There is a magic that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Astrian family.

But, how long will you wait until then?

No matter how strong the ability was in the second half, it meant nothing if he died before that.

and… … He might pass on the magic of the Astria family.

In the original story, I could only learn a part of the magic of the family, but there was no guarantee that it would be the same for me.

“Once I made up my mind to learn, I will learn. I don’t think so, then I’ll quit.”

“okay… … do it yourself Don’t die suddenly while using magic.”

I caught Lee who was about to leave.

“… … what?”

“I have something for you to help.”

“I?”

Lee looked at me with a puzzled face.

I led Lie to the senior student lab.

“… … What are we going to do?”

“You’ve dealt with a mentally tainted person.”

I took out a basic black magic book from my bag.

“Wait a minute, hey… … .”

“why.”

“Are you saying you want to use black magic here?”

“Oh, and if anything happens, please do something about it.”

Momentary silence.

Li and I looked at each other and didn’t say anything.

Rie was the first to move between the silence.

He looked like he was holding a bag.

I had only one reason to do this move.

escape.

“Suck!”

Lie immediately ran out of the senior student lab.

I immediately followed Lee like that.

“Where!!!”

“no!!! I’ll send you Locke! Wait till then!!!!”

After a brief chase with Lie… … .

“Ugh… … uh… … .”

“So… … Whoo… … Why are you running?”

After chasing for about 10 minutes, he succeeded in catching Li.

Lee took a deep breath while being caught by me.

After taking a deep breath, Rie shouted at me.

“no!!! Why do you always do that to me!!! I’m not an expert at that!!”

“As an ally. Help me.”

“As I said before, I’m a princess!!!!”

“Sometimes they say that they are allies of equal relations.”

Lie lay down like a child asking for a toy at the department store.

I dragged Lee along to the senior student lab.

To be honest, I also wanted to ask Astina.

However, these days, when I saw Astina, who had dark circles down to her cheeks to prepare for a forest school, I couldn’t afford to ask for it.

Since Limgan School is an event for first-year students to participate in, there was nothing I could do to help, so I just cheered.

So there were only two people around me to ask for help.

Luna and Lee.

I thought about getting help from Luna, but I shook my head.

Compared to Luna’s magic, my magic has reached far higher.

So, in case of a mana runaway, Luna might not be able to respond.

However, Rie was not only good at magic, but also knew how to deal with spirits.

It is said that it can respond to many situations.

Anyway, I thought it would be okay if I caused a inconvenience once, even if it caused a lot of trouble.

You can pay it back once in a while.

“I don’t want to suffer again.”

Lee said as he dragged along.

“It’s not that difficult to use magic, so the chance of a mana runaway is low.”

To be honest, recoil at the level of mana runaway did not happen very well.

When it failed, a minor curse was applied, or mana flowed back, causing only slight pain.

“I hate it when plans go wrong this way!!”

“plan?”

“I have studies to do today and I have work to do!!!”

I put Lie who screamed like that.

“okay. Then there is nothing you can do.”

“… … what?”

When I let him go, Rie looked at me with a puzzled face.

No matter how urgent I am, it’s not bad enough to have a child I hate this hard.

However… … .

“But, you should know one thing.”

“… … What else?”

“From now on, I will practice black magic by myself.”

“okay. sun!”

“Then, something unpleasant may happen. Black magic with great risk… … .”

“okay.”

“Then will it affect your big plans?”

When I said that, Lee looked at me.

I continued to speak, ignoring Rie who was staring at me like that.

“I was using black magic and a mana runaway happened… … The dormitory is turned over… … My reputation eventually fell to hell… … and… … .”

“ha… … do you have no friends You can ask someone other than me!!!”

“I don’t even have friends, but you are trustworthy. Academy 3rd place.”

When I said that, Lee let out a sigh.

His face looked annoyed, but he seemed to be feeling a little better.

“OK got it. I will help you.”

“Thank you.”

I smiled softly.

“Cuckoo… … .”

I’ve already cast Flame of the Abyss more than 10 times.

None of them were successful.

And all the headwinds.

“eww… … water… … water.”

“The whole body… … ! itchy… … !”

He was under various curses and suffered all kinds of pain.

“ha… … ha… … .”

“Hey, stop? All I see is pain.”

“I still say that while looking at it… … ?”

Lie had seen me casting magic once or twice, but now she didn’t even look at me and was studying her own thing.

“I have no reason to learn black magic, so why am I wasting my time watching it?”

“okay… … Do it yourself.”

I got up to cast the magic again.

Still, he seemed to have some sense.

At first, the feeling of putting mana in a bowl was awkward and unfamiliar.

However, after several failures, I thought I knew what it felt like.

I think there is a bowl in front of my eyes… … .

And slowly pour my mana into the bowl.

Mana should be handled with care.

Don’t put it in too fast and don’t put it in too slowly.

to an appropriate degree.

“Big… … !”

“what? what’s the matter?”

“Cool… … Cool… … eww… … It’s just a normal recoil.”

It was a failure again.

It couldn’t be that easy just because I had some sense of humor.

“Hmm… … .”

Rie looked at me for a moment and then looked at her watch.

“I guess it’s time to go now?”

It was already dark outside and it was late.

“I guess so.”

I felt a pain all over my body as I slowly lifted my body.

It felt as if I was doing an intense workout that I had never done before.

However, if the pain was a stiff feeling, it was the feeling of being stabbed with a knife.

“It’s not easy… … .”

I sighed.

I thought I could learn it within today… … .

I was going to learn black magic as quickly as possible and prepare a few things before going to Forest School.

This seemed too conceited.

Everything I do these days is going according to plan, so I’m full of things..

Now, after today, it was more of a problem.

Today, I tried to seduce Rie, but I also felt sorry for asking for it tomorrow.

Rie packed her bags and walked towards the door.

Then he looked at me for a moment and opened his mouth.

“Are you going to do it tomorrow?”

“What?”

“Because you need me.”

When I made a puzzled face, Rie turned her head and opened the door.

“I will come to the lab right after class tomorrow.”

After saying those words, I went out of the laboratory.

“… … Are you better than you think?”

Originally, I was going to ask for it while jogging my head.

However, when I said that I would help by myself, I became grateful several times more.

“I’ll have to buy you something delicious later.”
