I Became a Munchkin Spirit Sorcerer at the Academy

9 – Duel – 2 (Illustration-有)

A few days have passed since I sent Arte back.

As soon as the lecture was over, I settled into the dormitory and began to create a plausible elixir that the curse would stick to.

Even though I continued to research and experiment and stayed up all night, I accelerated my research and was finally able to produce results.

“Arte dog bastard.”

After swearing at Arte for putting me in this situation, I waved the completed elixir with my hand.

How much I suffered because of that bastard.

Perhaps because I stayed up all night, my skin became rough and dark circles went down to under my eyes.

“I guess I should get some sleep after I finish.”

Tomorrow is the weekend.

If you rest for a couple of days, your body will get back on track.

Chellang-challang.

Red liquid in a bottle.

At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary leap, but in reality, it is completely different.

It would be more appropriate to use it as an elixir and read it as a lump of curse.

The moment you drink it, your physical abilities increase, but as time passes, your body’s vitality gradually drains, and it is a drug-like liquid that eventually causes you to use up all your spiritual power.

There are no symptoms of addiction, but humans are inherently obsessed with achieving success even without effort.

The increase in ability achieved without effort probably stimulates the fundamental desires of humans.

Artpe will slowly go to ruin because of this drug.

“..But I’m glad it wasn’t that difficult.”

Fortunately, the making process itself was not complicated.

The basic contribution of curses is based on the law of equivalent exchange.

The principle of magic used is imitation magic, the most basic magic based on the principle that similar things cause similar things and that the result is similar to the cause.

In other words, the result created by the person who first created the curse to curse someone can be interpreted as ultimately leading to the destruction of the person who took it, regardless of whether the result was good or bad.

“Take a look somewhere.”

He pours out curse-laced vitriol toward Arte.

To match the color to red, we secretly brought in raspberries growing near the school and squeezed out the juice to create the color.

If I had been caught by a security guard in the middle, I would have suffered a laughable embarrassment.

“Sigh.”

For several days, I couldn’t exercise properly because I spent half the day sitting.

Actually, the exercise was just simple stretching.

This body did not accept even simple stretching.

And although wizards tend to be reluctant to exercise, Harvey’s tendency was particularly strong.

Since he was praised as the eldest son of the family from a young age, it was clear that he never felt the need to exercise or do anything else.

“If this continues, the herniated disc will come first.”

My shoulder muscles have already started to tense up.

If you suffer from a herniated disc in your later years, is there any point in surviving at all?

I got up from my seat and started walking slowly outside.

The time right now is Friday evening.

Since it was the golden hour, commonly known as Friday, a typical student would have gone out of the academy and enjoyed entertainment.

They said there was little chance of meeting a familiar face.

“You can just walk a little bit and come in.”

There was a park nearby, so I slowly walked out of the dormitory and started walking towards the park, thinking I would just go for a few laps.

The shabby appearance of the dormitory soon disappears out of sight, and countless trees and grass begin to come into view.

The cries of insects coming through your hearing, and the white moon illuminating the earth.

And the fishy smell that irritates the sense of smell.

Hearing, sight, and smell were all in harmony.

It was definitely nice to be able to enjoy the natural beauty of this world because there was no air pollution or environmental problems at all.

Even if you are in the center of a developed city, the stars shine brightly at night.

I felt like I was in an unknown world.

“It would be perfect for a travel destination.”

Even though the world is beautiful, it is a crazy world where murderous magic is rampant.

Only the protagonist can save the world, and only the protagonist receives the world’s love.

A world where the protagonist is biased.

Perhaps even nature, which creates beauty, is for the main character? Just when I had this self-deprecatory thought:

“Orphe! What are you doing here!”

“Oh, it’s Sally. Don’t worry. I was just taking a walk.”

“Is the kid who just came to the academy taking a leisurely walk? Have you unpacked your luggage?”

“Yes, I unpacked all my luggage. Fortunately, the butlers who accompanied me here helped me a lot.”

“Wow…I solved it all by myself.”

“hahahahaha! Next time, I’ll help you too.”

“As long as you speak well.”

On the other side of the park, along the roadside of the lake, the silhouettes of a man and a woman talking while looking at each other came into view.

It was hard to see them clearly due to the darkness obscured by the trees, but soon we walked onto the moonlit earth.

“..Ah, f*ck.”

The images of the two men and women began to come into view.

Two men and women come into view, white hair shining in the moonlight, and red hair as if burning.

I instinctively recognized that those two people were Orphee and Celie.

It was easier to recognize because it was the same as the image seen on the novel’s cover and illustrations.

Rustle.

I hurried into the forest to hide, and Orphee and Celie were walking towards me, talking loudly.

Not yet, not yet the time to meet those two.

The meeting with them took place only after Arte had been completely destroyed.

Only then can the development I had in mind proceed smoothly.

“But Orphée.”

” huh? “

“Harvey, what are you going to do with that bastard?”

“Shelly…that bastard. Harvey is still an older brother to me.”

“What do you have?”

“That’s too harsh, Sally.”

As we got closer, we started to hear the conversation clearly.

The content was mostly about Harvey.

Celie was constantly swearing at Harvey, and Orphée was accepting it with a sigh.

‘I’m an asshole… so please pass by…! ‘

While I was waiting for them to pass by with my hand covering my mouth.

“Cough.”

The dust that fell from the tree went straight into my throat, and I ended up coughing in pain.

and.

“Is there anyone there?”

“Look who’s there, Sally.”

“Really? I’ll go and check.”

‘f*cked! ‘

Orphee and Celie slowly begin to approach this way.

If I run away from here, Orphée or Celie will definitely come to catch me.

“..In the end, it turns around and goes like this.”

After letting out a deep sigh rising from within, I slowly came out from behind the tree and showed myself to Celie and Orphée.

When I emerged from the darkness, Orphee and Celie looked at me with wide eyes, as if embarrassed.

“…”

I didn’t have anything to say, so I just stood there and watched them.

“..Harvey.”

In the end, it was Sally who spoke first.

As if she had seen her enemy, Celie frowned and glared at me as if she were going to kill me.

” older brother. “

And why is Orphée here too? He was observing me with an expression that said,

‘ Can not help it. ‘

Yes, it can’t be helped.

I had to play Harvey now so as not to interfere with the future.

Calm your mind and slowly open your mouth.

Fortunately, his body still seemed to remember Harvey from his days as a fool, and his hostility towards Orphée was surging.

“I don’t think we are in a position to greet each other.”

In the end, I committed.

********

Sally’s childhood was full of pain and exhaustion.

He was favored by the Artur family and was able to enjoy the glorious honor of being a knight protecting the family, but that was all.

Her parents were so busy with work that they could not take care of Celie properly, and her ambiguous status, neither a noble nor a commoner, made her even more lonely.

Even though she wanted to play, other children her age were afraid of her, and even her parents were afraid of her.

It was a rainy day for Sally, who always stayed alone at home.

I met Orphee, who was falling helplessly under a tree.

And as fate would have it, the two became friends.

A bastard who is discriminated against in his family and a daughter of an unknown status.

The two always played together, looked at the moon in the sky and whispered their dreams to each other.

And as she got older, Celie’s feelings for Orphée also slowly began to change.

Familiarity becomes friendship, friendship becomes affection, affection becomes love.

After having a vague dream of wanting to stay by Orphée’s side for the rest of her life, Celie was no longer afraid of being alone.

And that time, just like any other day, I was visiting Orphée.

Celie witnessed someone beating Orphée.

Black hair, yellow eyes.

The bully, who looked fierce even at first glance, harassed Orphée in every possible way, and sometimes even swung his fist at Orphée in the name of education.

Shelly, who didn’t want to see the person she loved getting beaten by someone, actively tried to stop Harvey in order to help Orphée.

What comes back is only twice as much violence.

Status, power.

Celie, who was inferior to Harvey in everything, was caught up in merciless violence.

And Orphée realized that she was suffering from even more severe violence.

After that, Celie realized.

He said he would become a knight and protect Orphée.

Not only as a wife who helps him by his side, but as his knight, she will guard and protect him.

The girl once again stood on the path her parents had walked and held up the worn-out sword.

I swung and cut countless times.

To cut down Harvey, the nightmare and enemy of himself and the people he loves.

And today, that opportunity has come.

“Harvey Artur!”

Sigh!

Celie pulls out a sword from her waist.

Her expression is stained with anger, and there is only one place where hostility is directed.

Javi Artur, his own enemy and the enemy of his loved ones.

Jiyiing.

Perhaps recognizing the owner’s emotions, her favorite sword, the Red Flame Sword, was also humming as if in sympathy with the owner’s emotions.

Just before Celie pulled out her sword and rushed at her, Orphee stepped forward and stopped Celie.

“Calm down, Sally.”

“Calm down? Would you be able to calm down?”

“This is the academy, Sally.”

” ..profit. “

As Orphée said, this is Norrington Academy.

Anyone who engaged in a duel without the permission of professors was subject to unconditional punishment.

As if she had calmed down after hearing Orphee’s words, Celie bit her lip and put the sword back into its sheath.

After calming Celie down, Orphée slowly looked at Harvey’s face.

Black hair that seems to symbolize darkness, and yellow eyes that indicate that he is a member of the Artur family.

The person who had colored his childhood with violence and verbal abuse was right in front of him.

“…Why are you here, brother?”

“Is there a law that says academy students can’t be here?”

“..but that’s not it.”

“You seem like a boring guy.”

Orphee’s eyes widen in confusion at Harvey’s words.

Something had changed, that was my first impression of Harvey after a long time.

In the past, people who would have been unable to overcome their anger and resorted to verbal abuse and violence were just staring at themselves.

The person who had spewed out harsh words about how a person of natural blood like you dared to receive the yellow eyes that symbolized the Artur family was staring at his own eyes.

Has there been a change of heart?

” How were you? “

“I should have said it clearly earlier, that we are not meant to say goodbye in a sloppy manner.”

“Still, I think it’s polite to bow first to my brother, who is the elder of the family.”

“I have nothing to say to you.”

“…”

With those words, Harvey slowly turns around and starts walking in the other direction.

His steps, which had always been arrogant and arrogant, seemed a little different.

Orphée began to notice his half-brother moving further and further away.

Harvey has changed a bit in some way, but has he finally grown up?

There were so many things he wanted to ask, but as Harvey mentioned earlier, he and his older brother were not comfortable talking to each other.

So Orphée did not catch Harvey.

It was just that Harvey hated Orphée, and that was it.

“Harvey Artur!!”

At that time, Celie, who was behind Orfe, began to quickly run towards Harvey.

“Sally!”

Due to Celie’s sudden outburst, he tried to stop her quickly, but her body, which had been trained over a long period of time, was not fast enough for the magician Orphée to stop.

The good news is that Celie didn’t pull her sword from her waist.

Harvey slowly turns his body and looks at Sally.

Just calmly and without showing any emotions.

Harvey just looked at Sally and muttered something.

and.

“Tsk..!”

For an instant, Sally’s movements stopped.

No, to be precise, I was stopped.

It was as if some unknown force was holding her down, and no matter how much she struggled, her body did not move at all.

As if tied by a rope.

“Let go of this! Harvey Artur! What have you done to me!”

As Sally becomes unable to move her body, she begins to open her mouth roughly this time.

As if she wanted to let go of the anger and resentment that had been building up until now, Shelly looked at Harvey as if he were going to kill her and screamed.

“No remorse? What?! You have nothing to say to that bastard like you?! You ruined our lives like that! You don’t even show any signs of regret?! Even if I do, don’t I have to apologize to Orphée?!”

Anger filled with resentment gradually pours out of my mouth.

The terrible bad relationship and the pain that came from the relationship pushed Sally into a corner.

Sally freely vented her deep-seated anger towards Harvey, who had now become a wall.

Bravely.

The distortion on his face changed from anger to sadness.

“You’re not even a human bastard…”

“Sally, let me release this first.”

Orphee looks at Celie with mixed eyes.

Orphée understood Celie.

No, I had no choice but to understand.

Because he knows how difficult it was for the girl who shared his childhood with him.

However, the current statement was not something that could be said at this time.

It was something that had to be said more deeply, revealing what was in one’s heart and talking face to face.

First, the priority was to remove the spell cast on Celie, so Orphee touched Celie’s body and activated the dispelling spell.

But.

“It won’t work out…?”

“Orphe..?”

“That’s strange..what on earth did you do to Celie..!”

The binding spell was not broken.

No, there was no magic flowing at all.

What was restraining Celie’s body was not magic, but an unknown territory that she could not understand.

Celie and Orphée looked at Harvey with shocked expressions.

“You are not human.”

And Harvey’s mouth slowly began to open as he looked at me in astonishment.

“If the world changes, the environment changes, and everything you believed to be true turns into a lie, can you handle it?”

” ..what. “

“Let’s just go.”

” for a moment… “

Harvey turned away after saying those words, and Orphée tried to catch Harvey, who had said something that had no meaning at all.

Instead, Harvey turned his head and glared at Orphée.

As if these were the last words.

Harvey’s mouth slowly opened again.

“Don’t think that what you believe is the truth, Orphée.”

“…What on earth is that…”

Is it life or death?

An unknown cold chill enveloped Orphee’s body.

It wasn’t magic.

It wasn’t mana.

It was something foreign that did not exist in the world.

As Harvey slowly disappeared into the darkness, Orphee and Shelly just stared blankly at the place where Harvey had left.
