I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

Episode 24. Magic Day (1)

The day of the showdown has come.

magic day.

It is a day to commemorate the passing down of the divine grace of magic to the continent.

The imperial university was also running an event in its own way, and a loud noise could be heard from afar.

I woke up early in the morning, checked my body, and got dressed right away.

“Are you attending the Magic Day event?”

“Yes. I’m going out to the square.”

“Shall we accompany you?”

“No. Emilia-san, please protect the mansion. If anything, you are welcome to attend events within the Imperial University.”

“······All right.”

Emilia lowered her head with a slightly sullen expression.

Is that acting or is it serious?

It’s probably a mix of both.

Emilia must have wanted to follow me and watch over me.

But there’s no guarantee that you won’t sneak after me.

So I set a trap.

The barriers in the training room had been released pretending to be a mistake.

Emilia, who must have been stuck inside all day and wondered what she was doing, will search the training room as soon as I leave.

To save some time, I put all the junk inside.

Well, books on witchcraft and folk remedies… and flyers with instructions on how to summon demons.

Looking at it, I’ll make fifty thousand guesses.

Thinking of Emilia, who would be embarrassed, smiled.

“Why are you laughing?”

“It’s fun.”

“···········?”

“Then I’ll go.”

After passing the grassy path, I came out of the dormitory building.

And the moment you pass through the main gate of Imperial University-

“Wow.”

I was overwhelmed by the crowd unfolding before my eyes.

It is a system with a large floating population as usual.

However, as the Magic Day event overlapped, the street that was as wide as a six-lane road was already full of people.

“It’s not too fussy.”

Stalls selling junk and snacks were lined up on both sides of the street.

I’m looking to eat some cotton candy, but the price is…

“Ugh.”

It was 50 Tyrion.

5000 won… Did you really go back?

I think it would be better not to think about where and what to eat today.

I shook my head and headed straight for the square.

“There will be a brief interrogation.”

“Knives are not allowed to be brought in. We will keep them.”

As expected, the security was tight.

It is proof that an important person is coming.

Roman von Byrne.

A general who will become the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army in the future.

And today, the main character who will be the target of terrorism is in attendance.

“Whoa.”

As soon as I entered the square, I was out of breath.

It was a fairly large square, but even considering that, there were too many people.

At first glance, more than 3,000 people.

If you count the people watching from the balcony inside the hotel, it will be an estimated 5,000 people.

The problem is that the event hasn’t even started yet.

When the most popular academic presentation begins, perhaps 10,000 people won’t be funny.

If alcohol breaks out then…

“Damn it. I’m so scared.”

I hate to even imagine

I’m really crazy

Why did you set the spy agency guys into a group like this?

Just complaining won’t change anything.

I have no choice but to destroy the drink somehow.

Where there are few people and there is no good place to focus.

As I was walking, looking around, I unintentionally looked up.

“There it is.”

on the roof.

A quiet, quiet place with a great view.

I immediately ran and entered the building.

Then he grabbed the drain pipe through the window and climbed onto the roof.

When you sit down, your body is covered by the pointed roofs.

If you stand up, you can look down on the whole square.

Moreover, it was close to the sky where their rites would be engraved, so it was an optimal position to prevent terrorism.

“Hello, everyone. Many people have gathered. Today is a day to give thanks to the gods who passed on magic to humans and to swear together to carry out correct magic…”

The event has already started.

I sat down in a comfortable position, listening to the voice of the presenter resounding.

The spies will activate the magic for the moment when Roman comes up on the stage. That’s probably the most certain time.

Then I have no choice but to wait until then.

The sun was just right and the wind was cool, so I fell asleep.

I’m going to sleep like this.

“······uh?”

At that moment, a sense of incongruity suddenly overtaken me, and my nerves swell.

It wasn’t the mood.

Schlust’s sensitive sixth sense reacted.

I turned off both sight and hearing, and focused all my attention only on the magic wave.

Between the usual waves, something foreign was hidden.

Even me, who had a sensitivity of 75 mana, was a wave so minute that it was hard to notice unless I was focused.

It meant that someone was running a ceremony.

[Quest: Make sure no one in the venue dies.]

[Difficulty: ★★★★★]

[Reward: 10 Shop Coins]

As soon as I sensed the magic, a quest came to mind.

Isn’t this the first 5 star difficulty level?

To match the difficulty, the reward was a whopping 10 coins.

‘It’s started.’

Now I have a real sense that they are starting to move.

It had been a long time since I had slept, and tension was taking over my body.

But don’t be afraid.

Because only I can save them.

You just have to calm down.

***

“Omnyonnyong….”

“Chairman.”

“Omnyonnyongnyong….”

“Chairman.”

“Oh? Yes? What! Professor Ludwig?”

When Alexia turned around, Ludwig took a deep breath.

When Alexia bought it, there was cotton candy in her hand.

With a brightly colored pigment on his lips.

“It’s your turn soon.”

“What kind of speech do I have?!”

“Yes. As an archmage, you decided to give encouragement to your juniors, didn’t you?”

“Is that so! I think I might remember!”

“ha······.”

Such a human being is revered as an archmage.

No, actually, he’s not even human. because it’s magic

Most people would believe that Alexia reached the status of an Archmage after a lot of hard work…

What would happen if people knew that I was just born strong?

“Then! I’ll have to prepare soon!”

“Wipe anything you put in your mouth.”

“Handkerchief! Thank you!”

there will be a riot

In fact, besides Alexia, there are quite a few demons living in the human world.

Do they all live roughly like Alexia?

It was Ludwig who suddenly became curious.

“Hmm…?”

Alexia, who was wiping her lips with a handkerchief, raised her head in discomfort.

The atmosphere at the event was slightly different.

I looked around the guards, but they only yawned profusely, a change that a human could not detect.

Alexia slowly closed her eyes and detected the minutely changed flow of magic.

It was impossible to read them all, but at least one thing could be discerned.

‘Someone is playing a joke.’

The magic formula drawn above the venue was working.

It’s also a huge drink.

It was obvious what he wanted to do with such a big drink.

terror. It was indiscriminate terrorism against civilians.

‘This is a joke. I don’t think I can release it either.’

A bitter smile appeared on Alexia’s lips.

The wave was so fine, it was difficult to even grasp the form of the technique.

Someone was deliberately covering up the ceremony.

‘What about this… Should we evacuate?’

Alexia tilted her head in embarrassment.

Should evacuation be induced?

Using the authority of the president of Imperial University is as simple as evacuating people without any basis.

But if you do, a problem arises.

‘If caught, the child will be very scolded.’

An agreement between the demons.

It will break the agreement that humans will not be involved in quarrels with each other, no matter what.

Then Tilfitz will be punished.

I didn’t want to even imagine that.

‘Huh?’

In the moment of conflict, a sense of incongruity struck again.

The wave was changing slightly again.

Unlike before, in the direction of destroying the magic.

In this ruthless yet prudent way.

He seemed to know who did it.

‘This! That’s what broke my barrier!’

Schlus Heinkel.

It was clear that he was meddling in the ceremony.

It was the same artistic touch that Alexia had made to break the barrier of fear.

Then it was reassuring.

Although this technique is large, it is actually much less complicated than the Fear Barrier.

So, Schlusz can do it.

Alexia was relieved and a smile appeared on her lips.

“What’s going on, Chairman?”

“Oh, nothing!”

“That’s why I’m more worried.”

“Don’t worry! It’s true!”

“············”.

Seeing Alexia smiling brightly, Ludwig couldn’t get rid of his uneasiness.

Alexia usually does this only when things get worst.

Should I run away now?

“······ Next is the President of Imperial University. I will serve Alexia von Dem Cloist.”

“What’s next! I’ll go out and come back!”

“Go.”

After letting Alexia go, Ludwig felt the strength in his shoulders drain.

For some reason, it felt like my lifespan was running out when I was alone with Alexia.

“Chairman, is General Roman next?”

Ludwig muttered the schedule in his head.

Why did the general, who had never appeared outside for two years, come to such an event?

“It’s awkward.”

For some reason, it seemed that an ominous aura was wafting out over and over again.

***

“This is Alexia! If the story gets too long! I think everyone will get bored! All the wizards walking the path of magic! Cheers!”

“Is that all, Chairman?”

“Yes! I’m done!”

“Don’t do that, just one more word of thanks…”

A sound could be heard from the square through the window.

The Hurt Locker pulled the curtain slightly and looked outside.

“The turn of the president of Imperial University seems to be over soon. Roman will come up soon.”

“Is that so? It’s really soon…….”

Eric shook his head.

The lives of so many depended on his trembling fingertips.

Their fate depended on only one finger.

There is a realization that he is committing a crime against humanity.

But it had to be. For the survival of the kingdom, this is the only way…

“Is there still no response from the guard?”

“Yes. I’m yawning droopy.”

After hearing the answer, Eric turned around.

There, three agents were sitting with their eyes closed, sweating profusely.

All three of them were performing the role of reducing the magic wave that leaked out of the procedure as much as possible.

Thanks to that, even the wizards of the imperial police, who were said to be sensitive, did not notice the magic above their heads.

“The chairperson goes down. Next is Roman’s order.”

“I’ll have to activate it soon.”

Now is the time.

It’s time for the worst terrorist attack ever.

When the magic in the sky works, a pillar of fire rises. no it pours

from heaven to earth.

There is no way to escape.

There is no choice but to hit the pillars of fire pouring out with the momentum to break through any barrier.

That’s how people turn into dark coals.

Instantly, without even feeling the pain.

Standing in the square and listening to the speech, it burns.

Its appearance and posture are stuffed in that moment.

“Hurt Locker. Does God exist?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“just.”

“God is not dead.”

“That’s right….”

there will be no god

Seeing trash like us survive.

With a self-helpful laugh, Eric manipulated the core of the procedure.

“Roman. I’m on the podium.”

“Yes. Activate it.”

Eric started the operation with his eyes wide open.

I was thinking of seeing the rain pouring down in person.

With the tragedy engraved in these two eyes, he thought he would never forget his sins.

However······

“What. Why are you doing this?”

Nothing happened.

It must have been that he poured magic into the core to activate the magic.

It was when Eric looked at the recipe once more that he felt something strange.

“Such a bastard….”

The cipher of the spell had been unlocked.

In other words, it was after control passed to someone else.

The moment I noticed this-

“Chief! Drinking food!”

“I know!”

The drink was shattered.
