I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

Episode 29. what is magic

Hurt Locker has made a lot of effort to infiltrate the ‘crow’ for a long time.

Failed to enter Imperial University and was frustrated even to get rid of Roman, so he had to do as much as infiltrating the crows.

‘Is this a sign of a crow?’

The result was success.

It was the result of the Secret Service’s perfect past laundering and the Hurt Locker’s cautious approach.

The Hurtlocker slipped a token engraved with a crow beak into his pocket.

Now he is a member of the crows that do all the dirty work of the Empire.

In other words, it has become easier and faster to access information from the world behind the empire.

“············”.

The Hurt Locker’s footsteps on the way to the residence stopped.

A piece of paper hung on the wall.

On the paper was written ‘Wanted for Bounty’ in large letters.

‘Are you looking for me?’

Although the name was not written on it, it was a wanted letter chasing the assailant who attacked Schlus Heinkel during the Demon Day terror attacks.

But there was one strange thing.

The column to introduce impression wearing was blank.

Curious, I looked into it and found that the only witness had forgotten the killer’s face due to the shock of the time.

‘What is this….’

Schlust forgot my face?

The moment he met me, didn’t he immediately recognize that it was a face he had seen once in a cafe?

Maybe the memory was damaged because of the wounds I suffered at that time.

I had to grind my face hard with one knee.

If that’s not the case…

‘no way.’

Schlusz deliberately didn’t inform the police of how he was dressed…?

Come to think of it, Schlusus was strange even on Magic Day.

He could have killed me if he gave me one strength in his grasp, but I let him go on purpose.

‘Are you sure you don’t want me to be caught?’

He was a Hurt Locker who came up with the hypothesis that his spine cools, but-

‘not. No way.’

He quickly denied that possibility.

What would Schlus Heinkel, who is on the Elite of Elite course in the Empire, cover up terrorists?

There was no reason or need for that.

But I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable all the time.

“Hmm.”

The Hurt Locker returned to his residence and looked around.

There was a letter stuck in the door.

The recipient is Walther Bank.

It was one of the disguised bases of the intelligence service.

Hurtlocker ripped open the envelope with a dagger that suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was Hurtlocker’s original technique of disassembling matter into mana and reassembling it when desired.

When he took out the stationery, the dagger in Hurt Locker’s hand was disassembled into mana again and disappeared.

Hurtlocker began to read the letter down.

On the surface, it looked like a leaflet selling loan-related products without any problems, but when the encryption code was applied, the interpretation text appeared in the Hurt Locker’s head.

‘I decided to keep the cafe base. Canceled Schlus Heinkel assassination target switching. Keep the subject of monitoring…’

Apparently, it was a message that conveyed the decision of the intelligence service based on the information Eric had gathered.

But above all else, what do you mean you won’t turn the dangerous Schlus into an assassination target?

Apparently, the intelligence service judged Schlust not a threat to the kingdom.

It was difficult to comprehend, but Hurtlocker continued to read it, grinding it out.

‘Estimated amount of magic power of Schlus… 100,000 or more?!’

The Hurt Locker’s eyes widened.

The detailed calculation process was not included, but it was an estimate from the intelligence service, so it would have been quite accurate.

And yet, the figure came out to be over 100,000?

Now I understand why the intelligence service didn’t turn Schlust into an assassination target.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t kill, it was that he couldn’t.

If you try to catch one schlus, the spy agency can be completely destroyed.

“hehehe. How was the class, my daughter?”

“Wooa difficult. It’s my first class…”

Seeing Erica putting cookies in her mouth over and over again, Liechtenburg smiled.

When Erica is stressed, her cravings often explode, but Erica, who eats sweets, couldn’t be that cute.

“In the first class, I only measured the magic power and sent it back, so I was vigilant. From the second time on, the intensity went out right away.”

“Huh. That’s right.”

There was little left of the second lesson in Erica’s memory.

I was too busy taking notes before listening to and understanding all the contents of that vast lecture.

In fact, the number of pages in the book was few, but Professor Ludwig’s attached explanations were too many.

But if it had all been a useless story, it would have just flowed out.

What happened were all explanations that penetrated the essence of magic and helped us understand it, which we couldn’t do without taking notes.

After all, he is the best professor at Imperial University, right?

It was only a question of why such a person was still in the position of chief professor instead of chairman after serving for 20 years.

“Ummm…and I think my mother had another story to tell….”

“What? What?”

“mother.”

“Yes.”

“You don’t want to get married again?”

“Huh? What?”

Obviously this wasn’t what I was asking.

But this is a question I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time.

“Hey, why did you ask me that all of a sudden?”

“No, it’s just. It’s been a while. My father passed away. I was wondering what your mother thought.”

“Eh, what would you like about Erica?”

“I hope you did what your mother wanted you to do.”

“Heh, heh heh. That’s right….”

Seeing the woman avoiding her gaze with a slight blush on her cheeks, Erica clicked her tongue.

Apparently, he had someone he liked.

It didn’t seem like she wanted to reveal it to herself, who is still her daughter.

I’ll tell you when the time comes.

Erica decided to wait patiently.

“ah.”

Then, I remembered the question I was really going to ask.

“Mother. Do you know Schlus Heinkel?”

“You know… the chief commoner at your school.”

“You invited me to dinner at my house.”

“What?!”

The smiling woman’s face was distorted.

Because it was a genuinely disgusting expression, Erica was a little embarrassed.

I didn’t know you would hate it so much.

“No. You can’t even die.”

“He’s also a benefactor who saved his mother. Shouldn’t this be rewarded?”

“············”.

“Mother. No matter how much I hate commoners-“

“It’s not like that because it’s a commoner.”

“Then why? Mother! Are you going to pretend that you don’t care?”

“hahahaha….. Yes. I will allow it, provided that Schlusus Heinkel is not allowed to meet with Julia.”

“Huh? Why?”

“············”.

Is it okay if I don’t let my sister meet?

Erika tilted her head, wondering what kind of nonsense this sounded.

Meanwhile, the woman just sighed as she grabbed her fiery hair.

A conflict began to arise as to whether or not I should tell Erica this, and if so, how far can I say it?

After making a decision, the woman raised her head. If you tell me, it’s right to tell you everything.

“Schlus Heinkel. The man knows Julia.”

“······································································!

Erika’s eyes widened as she understood the meaning of the woman’s words.

***

“May 14th….”

I felt like I was just looking at the calendar.

It’s May 14th.

It was the day I remembered that guy, so I just cried.

“Shall we visit the cemetery?”

Of course, he knew for sure that there was no way he could exist in this world.

Nevertheless, it is not human psychology to have to visit.

Searching for something that doesn’t exist is what a fool like me does.

“Mr. Emilia.”

“Yes, Mr. Heinkel.”

“Would you mind buying me just one rose before class ends?”

“Okay. What color should I prepare?”

“…in white.”

After much deliberation, I chose a white rose.

The reason… I don’t know either.

I just wanted a white rose.

Today is the day of combat magic class.

By the way, I think I now understand why double majoring is so hard.

Yesterday’s second elemental magic class…

There was nothing I could do other than mumble for three hours.

I really need to get my mind right during the exam.

Otherwise, the chief will be taken away and he will be expelled as it is.

“Nice to meet you, gentleman! It’s been a while! Uh-huh!”

As soon as he entered the classroom, Sergei was smiling cheerfully.

what a long time It’s only been a week.

By the way, Sergei, this time he is holding some rebar in his hand…

Where the hell did I get that?

It looked like he had broken a pipe, so he pulled out reinforcing bars from somewhere and used it as a back scraper.

It looks like it’s rusted a lot, but I don’t know if that’s where I got tetanus.

not. Who am I worried about now?

One of the Empire’s strongest men can’t be hurt by something like that.

“What do you all think is the basics of combat magic?”

“A lot of mana.”

“The sophistication of the winery.”

“Twitter. Everyone is wrong.”

Sergei shook his head as if sullen.

That’s a little weak.

Shall I pretend to know?

“It’s quick.”

“Oh! Who was it?”

“This is Schlus Heinkel.”

“············”.

An awkward silence subsided in the classroom.

Again, the eyes turned to me.

“Speed! That’s the answer. In battle, magic has to be faster than anything else. Think of it as fighting a swordsman. Do you think the swordsman will wait for you to unfold that beautiful and sophisticated technique and pour thousands of magical powers into it?”

“············”.

“No! If that’s the case, you’ll go straight to the goal. Things like the beauty and complexity of magic don’t mean anything after you’ve gone to the afterlife. So sometimes, the simpler and ignorant magic, the more it shines in battle. For example… “

Sergei stretched out his palms and stretched them out in front of him.

The students seemed to have no idea what he was trying to do, but by this point I knew.

The simplest magic in this world.

Paang!

“… or something like this.”

dissipation of power.

The wind blew in, and a piercing sound rang out.

Sergei was simply projecting magic power straight to the front.

“Professor! Isn’t that magic?”

Einz immediately raised his hand and asked a question.

It was more of an observation than a question, though.

“Good question. So let’s ask the other way around. Why do you think this isn’t magic?”

“Yeah, it’s just shooting magic.”

“Is that evidence that it’s not magic? Let’s ask the question differently. What is magic?”

“For magic, it has to have a name. Shouldn’t it be listed in a spell book? I haven’t seen anything that introduces it as a spell in any spell book.”

“If there is no name in the spellbook, isn’t it magic? If so, what kind of magic is invented?

“············”.

Einz’s mouth shut.

After all, he was helpless in front of the principled consideration of magic.

He must have never thought of such a thing for a guy who had only learned how to develop magic and the combination of magic throughout his life.

“You are right and wrong. Marrow wizards don’t try to classify this as magic. Because? It’s too simple. It’s not stylish or beautiful. . In terms of scientific taxonomy, yes.”

“Professor. Is it correct to examine magic scientifically? I know that science is an abandoned discipline that cannot explain the logic of the world.”

Another student pointed out.

“That is also true and false. Science and magic are complementary. Science has the power to articulate magic, which is an ambiguous discipline, and magic explores areas that science cannot explain. In my class, science will also I’m going to hire some of them, to be precise, the scientific way of thinking.”

“Professor! But that’s-“

“Is it against the oath of a wizard? Then how about harming people with magic? Is that keeping the oath of a wizard?”

“············”.

“In battle magic, you will learn anything related to battle magic. It is directly related to the survival of your soldiers, so I can’t be in a position to cover it. Will you survive? If you are dissatisfied with my class, you can leave now.

“············”.

The students were silent again.

But again, no one left the classroom.

Sergei’s classes are always like this.

They come with discourses that do not match their existing emotions, and they collide with students and break their preconceived notions.

It is Sergei’s battle magic that is considered to be a lesson to be realized that much.

Since he was teaching the battle magic that differentiates between death and death, his class must have been a mixture of countless things.

It is the same logic that mixed martial arts, mixed martial arts, are considered to be the most practical.

“Come on! I think I’ve given you enough hints so far. Then I’ll test your magic casting speed.”

“Yeah?!”

“Anything that you are confident in casting the magic as quickly as possible. I will measure the speed and reflect it in my grades.”

······· And Sergei’s class is also famous for the frequent burst tests.

It’s not before class, but it’s announced during class and then the test is suddenly taken.

I didn’t know it when I was writing this, but seeing it in person is embarrassing.

“Then let’s start… Schlus Heinkel! From the senior in the grade!”

“Yes.”

Everyday I’m first

I sighed and moved forward.

I am confident in the speed of the operation.

The computational power stat is already 48, which is 5 times that of the average person.

Because the effect of the Forbidden Elixir is completely engulfed in computing power…
