Damn Academy

18 – secret

Silverin took off the robe she was wearing and threw it away.

The maid followed her and collected the robes scattered on the floor. Another maid followed Silverine’s side with a silver tray.

Silverin took out earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings one by one and placed them on a silver tray. Each accessory had a different color, and the number of accessories exceeded ten.

Some of them had the highest level of magic enchantments, and even if you sold just one of them, you could leave a tolerable house in an accident.

Because she was so sensitive to magical power, even the speck of magic contained in the artifact irritated her. I had to throw everything off and leave nothing behind.

Silverin took off all of her miscellaneous clothes and clothes and went into the bathroom. In the center of the bathroom was a large bathtub filled with steaming water.

She got into the bathtub naked and naked.

This moment was the time for Silverin to truly rest.

Silverin stretched out in the bathtub.

However, it was a long-awaited break, but I couldn’t relax and let go of everything. The tangled knots in her head kept getting on her nerves.

Upon hearing the story about the Masters Class, Damian seemed taken aback at first, but soon accepted it calmly.

Damian’s soft words echoed in Silverin’s head.

‘I can do it well.’

Subjugating the ghouls, judging the masters class, everything was good.

Even if Damian did not pass the examination, it was not a matter of great disappointment to her.

There were no big problems in Damian’s life either.

Rather, life in the academy will be smooth only when you are eliminated from the screening. Because Masters Class entails a rigorous process.

Failure to do so did not mean cancellation of admission. Under her guidance, admission to the academy will be no problem.

Even if he finished last, his future was bright as long as he got an Eternian diploma. Eternia diplomas were so valuable that they could not be exchanged for a title of nobility.

The problem was inside Damian.

She is diligent in learning and has good learning ability. He is a child who spreads his sails and goes far by himself even if he is fanned.

There is nothing angular about his personality, and he does not rebel.

Although he is still clumsy, he often takes care of his own interests.

The taste of teaching one by one was a little less, but the way he tried to do it alone was quite admirable.

‘There is no problem.’

That was the problem.

A healthy personality without angularity is a characteristic of aristocratic children who grew up receiving unconditional love from their parents in an affluent environment, not a general appearance of orphans.

Most orphans have no choice but to live with a trauma that is hard to handle inside. This is because they were all abandoned by their parents.

Growing up as an orphan, there was a high probability that Damian’s inner self, who had been making a living at a young age, was also broken in various ways.

Damian may be struggling to hide his problems and prove his worth in order not to be abandoned.

If not, they are constantly developing their abilities, always thinking that they will be abandoned someday.

Both of them are equally sad.

‘Did you say Damian had a friend… .’

I came to a far away place alone, but I don’t even miss my friends. You don’t seem to value your friends.

He doesn’t even try to talk about the past. It seems to be hiding something tightly.

If you need something, you can rely on it and expect it a little, but Damian tried to do it alone if possible.

It seems that there is no problem, but what was holding on could collapse with a small failure.

Silverin stared into the air with relaxed eyes. And as usual, she twisted her long hair with her fingers.

‘It’s okay if I act like a little child.’

***

The training continued the next day.

The training method has not drastically changed just because the Masters Class screening is ahead.

Basic physical strength, muscle strength, and footwork training as usual continued throughout the morning.

It was exhausting from the continuous high-intensity repetitive training, but Damian followed without muttering. After the ghoul subjugation, he was rather enthusiastic.

The basic physical strength and strength accumulated in this way will shine in the Eternia entrance exam.

I didn’t tell Damien, but the students who received the recommendation were guaranteed admission just by taking the entrance exam. Damian knows enough to get extra points, but I thought I’d leave it alone for motivation.

However, since the level of living and learning facilities to be provided varies depending on the test score, it was good to receive a high score.

I didn’t have enough time, so I had to focus on training that could produce a lot of results in a short amount of time.

‘It’s not the situation right now to focus on swordsmanship.’

I had to learn how to fight sword to sword someday, but it wasn’t very useful in the current situation.

It was thanks to the existence of the demonic sword that Damian handled.

If he didn’t put on a lot of swordsmanship, it would be impossible to even receive the demonic sword.

Time passed quickly. After working hard on training, the sun was up in the middle of the sky.

After lunch, Silverin and Damian came back to the training ground.

And at the training ground, a maid stood holding an hourglass.

When Damian questioned, Silverin said.

“I’m going to measure the time from now on.”

“What time is it?”

“Time to keep your sword.”

The way to get the most results in a short amount of time was by far increasing the holding time of the magic sword. The magic sword exerted overwhelming power, but the time it could summon was extremely limited.

I gestured to the maid to stay away. Then he told Damian.

“Stay still.”

When the maid spread her distance and settled down in a suitable place, Sylvester put her hand on Damian’s chest.

Silverin intended to examine the flow of magic within Damian’s body.

“Now summon the sword.”

Damian glanced at Sylveryn once to see if he could understand the situation, then closed his eyes.

Soon after, light shone in Damian’s hand, and a sword of brilliant brilliance appeared.

Silverin turns her head towards the maid, and the maid overturns the hourglass.

I focused on the hand on Damian’s chest.

After summoning the sword, Damian was weighed down by transcendent magical pressure.

Even if he knew how to handle sword skills skillfully, this level of magic pressure was not easily bearable.

‘The magic pressure is too strong than I thought?’

That meant that the magical power condensed into the magic sword far exceeded her expectations.

It’s almost bizarre to endure this kind of magic pressure with a face that doesn’t know anything.

One minute, two minutes.

That’s how I held my breath and checked Damian’s condition.

The magic power in Damian’s body gradually diminishes.

‘In addition, it draws even the magic power that is the size of a rat’s tail.’

As expected, this demonic sword was sucking Damian’s mana.

However, the questionable point is that the amount of mana that it draws is not that great.

The total amount of magic that Damian could contain was lower than the average of ordinary people. In terms of bowls, it took six to seven years just to use basic magic.

Considering Damien’s total amount of magical power, the magical power that the magic sword actually pulled was insignificant.

‘Strange.’

The magic pressure of the sword was gradually getting stronger, but in comparison, the amount of decrease in Damian’s magic power was small.

‘If that’s the case, they’re pulling magic from the outside.’

Even Silverin couldn’t detect the source of that magical power.

The mana gradually decreased and the floor was exposed.

Damian’s heart started beating like a squeeze. At the same time, the light of the magic sword flickered.

A load was being placed on Damian’s body.

“Enough now. Release the summons.”

Damian’s sword disappeared and he staggered. If Silverin hadn’t grabbed him, he would have fallen.

When I turned my head to check the time, the maid was sitting on the dirt floor. The magic pressure was influencing even distant maids.

Damian let go of Silverin’s supporting arm and said.

“I am fine.”

“Wait a minute.”

Silverin personally approached the maid and checked the hourglass. Fortunately, the maid marked the scale of the remaining sand.

Silverin reached Damian, supported him, and seated him on a rock.

She checked the tick on the hourglass and said.

“I’ve found out a few things about you and the sword. Don’t answer, listen.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t answer. You’re out of energy right now. I won’t have any energy until tomorrow, so today’s training will end here.”

“I can do more.”

“The time you can stably operate that sword is about 7 minutes and 30 seconds. It’s 6 minutes if you take into account the violent movement, and if you shoot a sword wave, it will be even shorter.”

“Contrary to what I experienced, it’s a bit short.”

Silverin pinched Damian’s cheek.

“I told you not to answer. This is why you should save your sword as much as possible. If you don’t decide in 6 minutes, you die. The sword is always drawn last.”

Damian nodded.

“From now on, I will train to keep the magic sword for a long time. For now, that’s the most important thing.”

Silverin let go of the pinched cheek and sighed. In Demian’s current state, even walking would be difficult.

It was amazing how he had endured using the sword until now.

“I’ll call someone, so wait a minute.”

“I’m fine.”

Damian wasn’t just talking.

Contrary to Silverin’s concerns, Damian brushed himself off and stood up to warm up.

For someone whose mana had been depleted, his movements were light.

Silverin looked at Damian and put on a puzzled expression.

When mana is depleted, the body is strained. For someone who hadn’t trained in magic, it took three or three days to fully recover.

“What are you… I’ve run out of magic power, what happened?”

Damian also blurted out, as if taken aback by Silverin’s reaction.

“Originally, it got better quickly… .”

“Wait a minute.”

Silverin placed her hand on Damian’s chest again.

And for a moment, I measured the magic power inside my body.

Silverin tilted her head questionably.

All of the mana that should have been depleted had been restored.

“… … ?”

‘Did everything recover?’

The total amount of magical energy contained was below average, but the speed of magical recovery was as good as that of most high-ranking wizards.

‘Could this be it?’

The puzzles in Silverin’s head were gradually being put together.

The secret of the immense magical power that the demonic sword absorbed was in Damian’s formidable magical power regeneration ability. As much as the magic sword sucked in, it was producing magic power right away.

It was strange. The total amount of vessels that contain magical energy and the ability to regenerate are proportionate and grow at the same time. These two were inseparable.

The bowl is small, but the regenerative ability is good, it was extremely rare that something acquired and intervened to affect the ability.

Silverin’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Damian.

‘no way… .’
