ALL NOVEL chapter 8
A character who first appears in Chapter 12, where Tia dies.
[Heir to the will] Spina could be said to be the remains of a dragon that had just been born.
Since the setting is that the strongest life on earth is a dragon, even though it is young, it is rated as SSR.
Popularity was great.
Basically, she had a cute appearance, and the lonely atmosphere that didn’t fit her age was somehow suitable.
Having a cute skill effect is a bonus.
[Petit Breath]
Look, isn’t the name ‘Petite’?
Even in the game, it was just a young girl with a cold impression blowing fire from her mouth.
Even in the effect, it was something like a star or a heart.
“Hey, Oz. Is this a challenge to me?”
“… … No, the head of the academy.”
That’s right, so it’s only natural that I couldn’t imagine that ‘Petite’ would have this much power.
Yes, considering the high attack coefficient, it makes sense, but visually it is out.
I have become a person who can no longer look at the character Spina happily.
The floor melted.
All the magical protection devices that protected the inside of the testing room were shattered in one blow.
The scarecrow was no longer visible.
Yes, it is understandable if the standard of ‘petit’ is the standard of a small nuclear bomb.
“Then what is this? Did you want to show off your talents by making such a scorched earth? Are you mentally ill?”
“No, this just happened… … .”
“Uhhhhh?”
I don’t like the way a grown adult talks like a child, but since I’m the one who did the wrong thing, I calmly put my head on the floor.
If I met Tia’s eyes now, I might collapse in fear.
“You, man. If me and Prudence hadn’t stopped this, a few people here… … No, I searched all over. Know? I said I stopped it.”
Seeing that Professor Prudence Loa’s name was removed at the end, I can understand how strong his self-love is.
“… … He is also the principal of the school. You’re not disappointing my expectations. You are amazing.”
clap clap clap–
“Do you really want to go back? Prudens, catch this baby. I need to open my head.”
shut one’s mouth hastily This guy’s snout is a problem.
No, it’s not just the muzzle, it’s the body itself called Oz that’s the problem.
“Calm down. Tiamat… … .”
I want to apologize, but it’s not easy. I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if Professor Prudence hadn’t stopped it.
[Erosion degree 17%]
After the incident with Eleanor, Oz’s arrogance continues to linger.
I’d rather keep my mouth shut at times like this, but… … .
“Do you chew my words?”
Even that is not easy.
“What happened? huh? Are there only weird babies this year? Come to think of it, where did Alexios bastard go again?”
“… … .”
Quietly pointing her finger at the pit, Tia raises her tiptoe and looks down at the hole larger than her own.
“… … uh, yes Here it is, you crazy bastard.”
“You are indeed the head of the academy. You managed to notice that this pit was created by my magic… … .”
“If you don’t want to search, shut your mouth and write a letter of reflection first.”
“Yes… … .”
“Chapter 20. The punishment will be decided at a later meeting. First of all, write a letter of reflection. Even if I tried to extenuate, this went too far. Do you think so too?”
“All right. I will.”
“Why are you acting like you’re listening? No, it’s done. I don’t even want to care anymore.”
I haven’t even entered ＜Skientia＞ yet, but I don’t bother pointing that out.
Going beyond this level is rather a bodhisattva.
“The interview… … Eyy, there’s no way there won’t be an accident there either, right?”
“of course.”
This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the situation where he had to use the [Master of Mana] in the first place.
Yes, there is no way that there will be problems in an interview where only simple questions and answers are repeated.
“do not worry. Head of the academy. Isn’t it a simple interview?”
* * *
After expelling Oz, Tia was still taking care of the undigested test site.
[verb]
The dragon’s will soon becomes magic.
For her, returning the devastated test site to its original form is no problem.
“go away.”
yeah, it should have been
“uh… … ?”
But her will did not interfere. The testing grounds were still burning with residual fire.
It is nonsense.
She is an existence that can subdue even a city-level fire in an instant.
It was impossible for her to not be able to extinguish the magic level of the remaining fire.
“You crazy bastard… … ?”
Tia, who had been staring blankly at the flames for a while, shuddered when she realized the meaning.
It was my first time.
It has already been 300 years since she founded ＜Skientia＞.
I’ve seen so many talented people, but I’ve never seen anyone so special.
Humans are amazing beings.
They were weak by birth.
There were several races, but among them, it could be said to be the weakest.
But it also had the most potential.
They were beings who could not live 100 years, but were growing by breaking numerous limitations in their short lives.
Tia liked human life. It is human life, not human.
I liked the sparks they ignited, not each one of them.
Isn’t it like a burning flame?
she liked the fire
It was partly because she herself was a fire dragon, but also because she had a good temperament of violent fire while delivering warmth.
That’s why I liked the lives of humans burning like fireworks.
But fire doesn’t burn without a price. No matter how much humans tried to burn the possibility, there was no way they could reach her territory.
Before that, it just burned and disappeared.
hundreds of years. yes, hundreds of years
The entire human race had been moving forward one step at a time, burning possibilities for hundreds of years, but it was still far from reaching her realm.
Even if she informs them of their knowledge and guides them, humans have not yet been able to overcome that wall.
“under… … . Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
But there was.
A being beyond the wall.
It wasn’t even an old sage who burned everything in his life.
It wasn’t even a being that was directly taught by her.
Beyond the sacrifice of countless people, it was not even the crystallization of a tribe that had been built up over generations by gathering support in one place.
“Crazy!”
He was just a human who won everything by himself.
The will of the dragon dwelled in the embers that remained everywhere.
It was natural that it could not be turned off by a simple method.
Because willpower has to be broken by bumping into it, and it wasn’t something that could be bent with a simple word.
The small fire that seemed to go out when trampled on by foot meant that the human Oz had stepped into the realm of dragons.
“… … Uh, but where is that bastard now?”
Tia started to panic.
Like a child expecting a picnic, he began to struggle, not knowing what to do.
It was natural.
Because there was a fearless human who pushed his neck without hesitation into a realm that was thought to be reached only after hundreds of years.
“Umm… … .”
Tia could distinguish everyone’s mana if she was in the academy. Of course, there were a few exceptions.
First of all, one is a saint of the church
[SSR Saint of Hope]
Arrieta Domine.
She was no different from the crystal of 100% pure divine power that did not contain any mana.
It was not easy for Tia, who was no stranger to divine power, to detect her.
And another was Oz Quo Vadis.
He was simply excellent at hiding mana. Yongin was hard for her to grasp.
At first, I wondered if it was some kind of ability, but I knew it the moment I saw Oz.
He just didn’t spill a single point of mana.
But that didn’t mean they couldn’t be found either. Mana is spread all over the world.
So, if you follow the gap between the spaces, you will be able to find the two.
“Um… … .”
Tia started to feel the gap little by little.
“Um… … . mmm! that’s right! Right right right right, right! Didn’t I send you for an interview earlier?”
Tia, who finally figured out Oz’s location, patted herself on the forehead and blamed herself. There was no need to waste time searching.
Tia flew towards the interview without calming her heart that was burning with anticipation.
‘What should I say?’
As the door to the interview room began to appear, Tia worried with a vicious smile.
‘Congratulations? Cheeky?’
Either way was good.
Tia opened the interview room door roughly, feeling her heart beat with anticipation and aspiration.
“hey! There is Oz… … .”
“Heuuu”
And right after opening the door, her burning heart froze coldly.
* * *
-do not worry. Head of the academy. Isn’t it a simple interview?
There was a time when I thought so too.
“Hey! Whoa… … . hehehehe.”
“… … .”
The woman clinging to the head of the academy and crying is an interviewer in charge of aspiring wizards and a professor of elementary and intermediate magic.
I remember it because it was an NPC that appeared frequently in the game.
Her name must have been Ira Merlin. It is a mysterious character with sky blue hair and eyes.
“Oz you man… … .”
Tia, the head of the academy, suddenly stormed into the interview room and started sending cold eyes at me with a pin point.
It hurts my heart to be treated like an outright criminal. Why do you doubt me as if it were obvious?
There are 5 other students who are interviewing here besides me, and it is too much.
But first of all, I am the culprit.
“Principal, this is the result of a minor misunderstanding.”
“For now, why don’t you turn off the light in those eyes and tell me?”
[Contemplation – Disabled]
As the head of the academy said, I first turned [Contemplation] into an inactive state.
Yes, all misunderstandings stem from this [contemplation].
I did nothing wrong.
“… … Was it really going off?”
“Yeah, well, it turns off.”
To be precise, it’s not turned off, it’s deactivated.
And when activated, the atmosphere changes a little, but it doesn’t really shine.
As expected, the biggest weakness of [Contemplation] is that Oz’s arrogance is revealed without filtering through his eyes.
“Principal, I might be a victim too.”
“hahahaha! Talk about it sometime.”
“I tried to approach the interview with a serious attitude.”
“why… … ?”
Tia’s eyes are rotting like fish on land.
As if he had seen an incomprehensible incident, he is pacing his eyes and clearing his mind.
“Why would you do that… … ?”
When I asked why, I didn’t know what to answer.
Come to think of it, why did I try to take it seriously? Passing is decided by parachute anyway.
done. It is important to prove my innocence now.
“Oh, hmm! In any case, I had the attitude befitting the interview.”
“Do you say that even after seeing this?”
“For now, please listen quietly. therefore… … .”
I started defending myself.
* * *
Yeah, that was what happened when the interview started.
Fortunately, the interview was not much different from the modern interview.
“I see, you are interested in fire magic, right? Then I’ll ask. Why does it have to be a fire attribute?”
“Yes! I admire the most… … .”
There were a total of five interviewers, but Professor Aira was the only one who asked questions about magic.
“Looking at the report card, I’m getting a very low score for Phenomenon Magic. Is there a reason?”
“Yes? That, it’s simply because I’m not good at phenomenon magic… … .”
“Did you know that the higher the level of magic, the thinner the wall between phenomenon magic and property magic is?”
“Yeah? Ah yes… … .”
“Yes, I understand. then… … .”
Unforgettable pressure interview. It gave me goosebumps just listening to it.
That’s how I prepared my mind and waited for the question.
“Well, I guess that’s all it takes. Then come back and take the 127th exam? In modern magical applications… … .”
But no questions came to me. I was completely ignored to the extent that I felt left out.
Well, I could understand.
Aren’t I the [successor of the King of Sorcery] right now? This wasn’t just a title, I could say it was my rank.
It’s as if I’m in a much higher position than Professor Aira. Asking me a pressure question?
Perhaps Professor Aira felt as if she was looking at the division commander who had intruded during company commander training.
I wanted the interview to end like that.
“So, any final questions? Even though it’s an interview, if you pass, it’s a relationship between teacher and student, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be nice if it left only a hard impression?”
──Until Professor Aira made such a suggestion.
[Contemplation] has the ability to see through reason.
Magic developed by others is no exception.
It was my guess that I might be able to interpret the opponent’s magic construction formula just by looking at it.
Wasn’t it possible to interpret the [Magic Bullet] that actually appeared on the test paper just by looking at it once?
However, the magic of the wizards who pursued me could not be interpreted.
Why?
It was that even if they were jobbers, they were skilled people who knew how to handle magic at least intermediate level.
The situation was also a situation, and there was something lacking in analyzing intermediate magic right away while skipping beginner magic.
What do I lack?
Yeah, that’s when I noticed.
I’ve never had a chance to look at basic magic, which is the basis of magic until now.
“Are you okay with the question?”
“Oz? Oh, no Oz students? Gee, is it a question? to me?”
“Yes.”
“why?”
“Yes?”
“No, no. Uh hmm! So what is the question?”
Come to think of it, Professor Aira was a professor teaching elementary and intermediate magic.
Yes, I am a man who knows how to seize an opportunity.
“Professor Ira. Could you please preview some of the beginner spells that will be covered in class?”
“Yeah… … ? Beginner, beginner magic? why is that all of a sudden… … ? Well, wouldn’t there be a problem with using magic here?”
“Oh, the question is a bit wrong. Just showing the composition formula is fine.”
“Do I really have to?”
“Are you sure it doesn’t work?”
“Oh no! I’ll do it. I can do it?!”
[Contemplation – Activate]
That’s how I activated [Contemplation], leaned forward and put my chin on my chin.
With this, I finished the preparations to unravel the magic that would unfold in Professor Aira’s hands one by one.
“Then let’s begin!”
“Yes, show me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the formulas for various beginner magics appeared in her hand and then began to disappear. I think I know something.
“Could you show me again a little slower?”
“Yes? Yes… … .”
For some reason, Professor Aira, who had a teary face, at my request, slowly developed a basic magic formula.
I guess I’ll know if I see something more.
“again.”
“Yes, yes… … .”
Something is missing. something… … .
Is there a meaning to each line drawn by the spell?
“One more time please.”
“Ugh… … Oh, I see.”
finally succeeded
It took time, but as expected, [Contemplation] was able to interpret the basic magic formula just by looking at it.
With this, one more secret about [Contemplation] has been solved.
“Hmm… … .”
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“Huh… … .”
That’s a good result.
It’s still only beginner magic, but I knew I could interpret the opponent’s magic just by looking at it.
Later, if I can perfectly melt the knowledge of Oz, I might be able to use the highest level of magic with my will rather than skill.
“Then can you show me some intermediate magic next?”
“Yeah… … ?”
“Just do it like you did before.”
Then, as I opened my eyes to focus on the intermediate level magic that was to follow, Professor Aira began to sob quietly.
* * *
After hearing the full story of the incident from Oz, Tia quietly nodded.
I could perfectly understand what had happened.
I was sent for an interview, and after the interview, I fell asleep.
Tia’s conclusion was simple.
“Do you have any mental illness?”
Oz is crazy
