Academy’s Power Master

Mentor and mentee (1) (Walpurgis Undertone)

Kick-

There was a warning sign not to run in the academy’s hallway, but Layla, who was running with her blonde hair fluttering, didn’t mind the warning.

I am not in a position to be intimidated by every warning, but because what I just heard was so shocking.

‘…Do you want me to protect you in case of the coming tribulation? Hayes? why?’

It is not known whether the upcoming tribulation is a battle for the right to succession to the throne, a battle from a foreign power, or the movement of monsters.

But one thing was certain.

‘Are you worried about me…?’

I don’t know why, but Heize is worried about him.

He was an unheard of commoner.

As a result, he was treated like trash at the academy because of him.

‘….why?’

Layla was confused by the fact that she was worried about her.

why.

It wasn’t what he intended, but if Heize had dealt with it well and had not been able to, Heize would have been dropped out or expelled from the academy while living in the academy, branded as a rare piece of garbage.

This is an undeniable fact.

Still, Heize was worried about Layla.

“…Whew, it’s complicated.”

Leila, who left Karl Ernoa and followed Duke on the way to meet Heize, had to face a rather frustrating problem rather than a cool answer.

The question of why Heize is so worried about herself and trying to help.

Well, it must have been a story that cannot be understood now, so Laila started walking down the hallway slowly with a sigh.

*

“Heize~ You did a great job~”

“…Wow! Natasha, I am sick.”

After Duke disappeared.

I had to greet other visitors.

Naturally, the visitors were none other than Natasha and Bella.

Bella stood still and looked at my condition, when Walpurgis and her eyes met.

-….hello?

-…don’t make a fuss.

The reunion of the two mothers and daughters ended in vain.

Since both of them are hiding each other’s identities, it was natural for such a simple conversation to happen, but it was only a little disappointing to me, thinking that something might happen.

Anyway-

“Natasha, get off now. tiring.”

“Uh… is it heavy?”

“No, not that. I was just tired and wanted to rest.”

“Um, if that’s the case, I can’t help it…”

There was something strange about wiggling her nose as she fell from me, but she couldn’t say anything to Natasha who was falling so gently, so she just smiled and waved her hand.

“Congratulations, Heize.”

“Thank you, Natasha.”

But he didn’t even say thank you.

With this, one big hurdle was over, so I was just happy for myself.

‘I’m glad that Duke did an honorary duel with good timing. I was surprised at first…but there was no less time than now.’

Currently, the Academy’s evaluation of me and Heize was biased towards the negative.

It’s just dark that I’m in a better state because of how I’ve been doing for over a week.

1 Grade.

Among them, only the students of the Department of Knights favored me and were friendly to me to some extent, but I was not good at other departments or seniors.

“I will no longer be stoned.”

“I will.”

But due to this honorary duel, the academy’s rating will change quickly.

Intermediate level magician limited to fire magic.

Basically, I found a way to replenish the mana called Manastone, because I, who had no mana for Duke Berris, a low-level wizard, appeared.

In addition, he showed that he could handle the next stage of Mana Fist and ‘Auror’, the exclusive property of S-Class, so the interest will grow even more.

“I’m just here to check it out, so Heize is resting.”

“Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Good night~ Don’t forget to dream of me~”

“….What did you say.”

After Natasha’s greeting that made her laugh, Natasha left the health room first.

and-

“I’m glad there were no injuries.”

“Bella, thank you for coming too.”

“It would have been quite disappointing if the production of the second generation had been disrupted, but I am really happy.”

Oh, you were worried about my nerdy side, not me?

Feeling my grateful heart cooling down, I responded with a sullen face.

“I’m fine with both my idiots, so let’s go back now, shall we?”

“I was trying to do that. And… the mana replenishment method using mana stones was amazing. She certainly seems to have found a simple but sure way.”

“right. It did lighten my pockets quite a bit…but it wasn’t too bad.”

“Ability and talent. Because he showed me a way to make up for the shortcomings of not having mana.”

Why am I being disrespected in the academy?

It was a problem that he was either abandoned or hated by Sampa, but the biggest thing was that he was decisively strong and had no mana.

In the end, just as no one could ignore Natasha, who travels alone, at my own pace, if I had the ability to do the same, I would never have been ignored.

“This is the end of it.”

“…I will not lose. Hey, just wait, I’ll prove it to you.”

“…Uh, yes. I look forward to it.”

“I need to replenish my energy to work harder, so go to room 409 on the 4th floor…”

“get out!”

I sighed as I watched Bella’s back, who ran away after playing pranks to the end.

“Can you take care of my daughter-in-law? I don’t want to lose my chastity while attending that school.”

“It’s not worn out, but what about it? Or give me some too. Let’s make a homunculus at least once.”

“….never.”

“Sheesh.”

You are asking for something very, very natural.

The demand was demanding, but the result was also serious.

‘…A homunculus. So you’re trying to make a clone that resembles me with my sperm?’

Homunculus.

An artificial creature called a dwarf in a flask.

Making it into my sperm would be like saying that I would create a clone with my own abilities.

So, regardless of whether it was possible or not, I was a little apprehensive.

“I have no intention of doing anything like that without the person’s permission.”

“When we first met, you did what you wanted.”

“Because I didn’t see you as a person back then.”

“…”

“Well, I think it’s a good business relationship now. My daughter-in-law is also interested in me, and I am also interested in the seeds of the hero, so what are you doing to touch me?”

Walpurgis shrugged and muttered, then pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Chic-

Blue smoke began to fill the room with the tip of a light burning cigarette.

“Tobacco is bad for you.”

“It may be something you should smoke in the future, but I’m sorry to say that.”

“…do I smoke?”

As a 15-year-old boy, smoking a cigarette I had never smoked on Earth was a natural question for me, but Walpurgis nodded and reassured me.

“Did I say the last time I smoked a pipe that wasn’t normal?”

“Yeah, I did…”

“The mana efficiency will be lower than that of the Mana Stones…but at the decisive moment, the mana can be recharged at least once. Aurors, of course, are a bunch. One or two mana fists would be enough.”

“One cigarette per cigarette … it’s not efficient.”

“It must have been your performance.”

“…you make me speechless.”

Considering that there are 20 cigarettes in a regular pack of cigarettes, that means there are 20 mana cigarettes in a pack.

“What is the price?”

“A pack costs about a few lesser mana stones.”

“…that’s crazy.”

It can be said that this is equivalent to one lowest level manastone per cigarette.

“It’s cheaper than regular mana at the beginning of the year. Instead, it’s more expensive because it’s only for mana recharge.”

“What’s the difference from a mana potion?”

“Mana potions result in mana being filled into the mana hall, so your poor fuel economy will immediately drain mana. But the beginning of the mana year is different. The smoke of mana tobacco burns around my whole body. So, you are free from your ‘constraints’ to some extent. And while the mana tobacco burns, mana will continue to be replenished. In any case, the value of one of the lowest level manastones is contained in one cigarette.”

“Whew…thanks anyway.”

Mana is a resource that can be used not only for attack but also for strengthening the body.

If the smoke containing such mana circles the body, it could be used as a way to strengthen the body by using a mana fist.

As mana stones do not have mana on the outside, but mana inside the body, it was definitely better than mana stones in this respect.

“It’s not finished yet. I’ll give it to you later”

“…”

He talked like he would give.

It was bittersweet to say that it was not ready yet, but it is a great help that there are more ways to use mana.

“It’s no different from breaking magic stones.”

“It is. But if you search for your body when you go somewhere, you’ll find the magic stone, but the cigarettes…well, why are you trying to steal it?”

“…that’s it again.”

The difference between Manastone and Mana Tobacco is in people’s attention, Walpurgis said.

As she said, magic stones are dangerous goods that can be used as bombs on their own, whereas mana cigarettes are only seen as cigarettes to other people.

“The many ways you can use your mana will benefit you in its own right. There is also a way to overlap.”

“Thank you as always.”

“If you know, do it well.”

“Yep.”

I didn’t mean to be blunt when I said something that wasn’t completed as if it had happened.

It was because he was making Heize’s special mana tobacco just for me by improving the normal mana tobacco.

So when you bow your head towards Walpurgis.

smart-

The sound of a polite knock echoed through the infirmary.

“Did anyone else come?”

“no. I don’t have that friend.”

“…it is understandable.”

Walpurgis, who looked at me pitifully, opened the tightly closed door by hand.

“Oh? Professor Belmont?”

As she spoke with a trembling voice as if pretense, I could see the guests.

Belmont Agerion.

“Heize, are you okay?”

“…Yes, Professor. Thank you for your concern. Professor Pena gave me a good treatment, and I think I was exhausted in the first place.”

“Yeah, I’m glad you did.”

The first-year professor of the Knights Department, who was also my professor, and who personally took on the role of referee in the honorary duel, came to visit me.

“But what happened to the professor…”

“I came here to give an advance notice about tomorrow’s class. You will still be tired, so lie down and listen.”

“…Thank you for your convenience.”

Notice for tomorrow’s class.

Walpurgis looked a little surprised at the fact that he had come to do it himself, but Belmont didn’t mind and looked at me and said.

“From tomorrow on, there will be classes running simultaneously across departments within the academy.”

“The whole academy? Ah- maybe?”

A class that is run simultaneously by all departments in the academy and is a long-term class.

I heard that too, so the class that I can barely understand is nothing but-

“Mentor and mentee. This is a class in which students in 2nd grade and above become mentors by volunteering or being asked to serve as mentors for the future of first graders, and first year students become mentees. It can be said that the entire academy life in the future will be decided depending on what kind of mentor you have as it takes place in your spare time separate from the professors’ classes.”

It was a mentor and mentee class.

The importance of this class was also well known to me.

‘It was done according to Natasha’s standards, but depending on who in the department you have as a mentor, it helps to improve your position and skills in the academy, and furthermore, it is a kind of turning point that becomes important even when you ‘transcend’ to the final chapter.’

Classes are important turning points in the academy for forming factions, recruiting colleagues, improving skills, and ‘transcending’ which abilities.

And I in that class-

“And there are quite a few seniors who want your mentor Heize. I was a little surprised.”

“….Yes?”

Mentors were overflowing even though they did nothing.

I think tomorrow I can show you the contrast.
