I Became a Munchkin Spirit Sorcerer at the Academy

13 – Sorcery and the Heart of the Beast – 2

How should I express that existence?

Similar shapes can be found in nature, but if they differ from existing ones, we call them ideal.

Look at that crow scattering black flames, like a noble king, arrogantly sitting on his master’s right arm and watching the world.

Wow!!

“Caw!”

When the three-legged crow swings his wings once, the black flame that burned the universe begins to cover James’s surroundings.

“Crack!!”

The dogs who received my signal in advance left their positions and escaped the influence of the black flame, but… James.

“Kwaaa!! It’s hot.. It’s hot..!”

Unable to withstand the heat of the black salt, it was turning golden brown.

If James was a wizard who majored in magic, he could have somehow overcome this situation by using water magic.

“Keuuuk..”

Unfortunately, James is an orthodox physical swordsman.

For him now, there was no way to overcome this situation.

All we have to do is wait patiently for retirement amidst the narrowing flames.

“Just right!”

” Good job. “

I slowly opened my mouth while gently scratching the chins of the dogs who had succeeded in taking time without incident.

“It’s not finished yet.”

James is trapped in black flames and screams like an animal.

That’s a character that hasn’t been completed yet.

There is no narrative, there is not enough build-up.

Therefore, it has not yet been completed, and is not yet complete.

Reason and instinct, knights and monsters, destruction and elegance.

The teachings of the Argon family are against everything.

They had to be monsters, but they wanted elegance.

Although his instincts were strong, he placed importance on reason.

You had to become a knight to kill monsters.

The Argon family’s sword methods and traditions are contradictory.

A tightrope walk that is incompatible with each other.

A genius can do everything well, but a genius cannot.

James is a genius, he just has better family blood than others.

But that’s pretty much it.

“Burn up.”

Since we’ve shown what moves we can make, it would be right to do our best against this side as well.

The black flames surrounding James began to slowly approach, as if encircling him.

“uuu!!”

The horrifying scream of the beast echoed throughout the duel arena, but the flames did not stop.

Burning the fur.

Cook with heat.

My mind is consumed by the fear that fire is approaching.

The flames continued to press on him until his strength was completely exhausted.

“Off..”

How many minutes have passed like that?

James fell down, screaming like a helpless rabbit.

“Now take it.”

“Caw?”

A three-legged crow that tilts its head slightly at my command while collecting black flames.

Although he did not understand the order, it seemed to be followed as it was the contractor’s order.

Jump and jump.

Slowly walk towards James.

I don’t let down my guard, I focus my eyesight with extreme tension and look at James.

Chwiik.

“Wow..”

Unable to overcome the heat of the black flames, James fell to his knees and looked like an old tiger just waiting to die.

The fur was scorched and crumbling from the heat, and the muscles that were dry and missing somewhere had created an inappropriate body balance.

slowly.

He spoke softly in James’ ear so that no one else could hear it but only the two of them could hear.

“Whether you choose the path of the beast or the path of the knight. You will have to choose one of the two someday.”

James opened his eyes wide at those words and looked at me for a moment.

What I just said was talking about the chronic problems that the Argon family has.

In some ways, it can be said to be a tradition, but in other ways, it is a cruel custom.

“Ugh…you..don’t know..what..”

James looks at me with burning eyes and slowly begins to sharpen his fingernails.

Even though his body was completely destroyed, he did not lose his tendency to oppose me.

In some ways, it could be said to be thorough, but in some ways, it could be thought that the stubbornness of an animal remained.

“Don’t you want to get rid of that ‘custom’ going on in your family?”

“…!”

“I don’t think it’s polite to keep sending the family’s elders away like that.”

“How did you… do that!!”

Growling.

The beast lets out a small howl.

How do you know the family secret? The look in his eyes that seemed to say, was a bonus.

“If you don’t want to let your father go like that, you had better work harder.”

Tuk.

Place your index finger on the guy’s forehead.

The sound of skin touching skin spread softly.

I looked away from James’ blank expression and just looked at me.

I struck James directly on the head with a curse that knocked him unconscious.

And at the same time, he opened his mouth towards James.

“Remember, James. There is a right way in the way of humans and a right way in the way of beasts. Don’t use your power only for means.”

Sigh.

When the curse shakes the guy’s mind, I snap my finger and give a small shock to the guy’s forehead.

“Everything in the world has its own way. Keep this in mind.”

And James’s ritual ended there.

The animal’s body slowly closes its eyes and slowly begins to fall backwards.

Even though it was an animal that was badly hurt by black flames.

This guy was still needed for survival.

“I’m not satisfied with this yet.”

Since the original work has already been distorted, we don’t know how the dark guys will come out.

Since there is no guarantee that the story will flow smoothly, it was better to strengthen the power of the surrounding characters as much as possible.

It would be better if the later episodes related to Argon can be easily skipped over.

Tuk-tuk.

Stand up and brush off the dust from your clothes with your hands.

” Go in. “

Now we send back food spirits who no longer need to stay in this world.

“Caw!”

The dogs went in calmly, but the three-legged cow was trying hard not to go in.

It seems that he missed the current world after a long time.

“I’ll show you everything later. Just wait a moment.”

He gently strokes the three-legged crow’s head and soothes him.

It’s not that I don’t completely understand his feelings.

Since you’ve been stuck in Fall Valley for so long, you might want to look around somewhere.

“Caw..”

As if he understood, the guy lowered his head slightly and entered the shadows.

I gave him a lot of regretful looks, but I couldn’t help it.

I still had to keep this guy’s identity a secret, and more than anything, it was better to keep it a secret so that the dark guys could find me.

That way, it will be easier to set traps.

Sigh.

With this, the de-summoning of the food spirit is over… and now it’s time to clean up after ourselves.

Jump and jump.

As the duel ended, the supervisor slowly approached us.

As I looked around, I could see that countless emotions were mixed in the gaze looking in this direction.

“Harvey Artur.”

” yes. “

“The Dean is calling you. I have a lot of things to ask you, but…”

At that moment, the supervisor’s eyes turned to the room where the dean was staying.

It seems that the dean was watching this duel either indirectly or directly.

“Even in cold water, there are ups and downs.”

The supervisor smiles bitterly and takes out a cigarette pack from his pocket.

He probably wanted to ask me a lot of questions, but he seemed disappointed that he couldn’t.

“I’m going now.”

“Okay, follow me.”

With those words, the supervisor turned around, and I also started walking slowly along with him.

Murmur.

As I was walking along with the supervisor, all the students’ eyes began to focus on me.

Surprise, astonishment, suspicion, jealousy, hatred.

A completely malicious gaze with no positive emotions in sight.

It would be a lie if I said I got used to it, but I still haven’t mentally gotten used to the malicious gaze.

But what can you do?

I should think that their gaze has nothing to do with my life.

Thinking that way made me feel much more at ease.

I turned my head for a moment and saw Zera looking at me with a shocked expression.

After making eye contact with me, she pursed her lips as if she was about to say something.

“Why don’t you follow me quickly?”

“Yes, I’m going.”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear Zera’s words because the supervisor opened his mouth and urged.

If he regrets it, he will come later and say it first.

My destination was the dean’s office. With Zera’s gaze turned back, I slowly walked along with the supervisor.

******

” …why. “

The duel that took place just a moment ago, the battle between James and Harvey.

Everyone predicted James would win, and Zera also predicted James would win.

No matter how strange Harvey’s recent actions were, his magical talent was not limited.

On the other hand, James is a promising knight and the eldest son of the Argon family.

There was no chance Harvey would win.

However, the duel ended in Harvey’s overwhelming victory.

Not only was it not enough to defeat James in one blow, he overwhelmingly pushed James by defeating bone summons and eventually a crow that wielded black flames.

Even the Argon family’s secret weapon, the heart of the beast, was no match for that crow.

What on earth has happened to that man?

Or…did he hide his powers until now?

Maybe breaking off the engagement with him was also his intention…?

Spooky.

Creepy chicken meat.

Is it really possible to go that far? I thought so, but for some reason the feeling of uneasiness did not go away.

“..Please come quickly.”

Zera let out a shallow sigh as she thought about the article she had sent to investigate Harvey.

I hope you come back soon and solve this question for me.
