The Villain Changed the Ending

008 mana runaway

*****[Oscar, the main character]*****

When my grandfather passed away, it was snowing in the middle of winter, but before I knew it, the season was spring with green sprouts spreading widely.

Over the course of several months, he had gotten used to mana handling to some extent.

My magical power has the nature of fire.

Magical power is similar to human constitution, so water mages cannot use fire and fire mages have difficulty producing water.

However, according to Sven, magic itself has nothing to do with water, fire, wind, soil, or anything like that.

That is why mana can be transmitted into the body of another person.

“I don’t know yet what the difference is. Why does the same magic power when in the body manifest itself as different properties when it is expressed externally? But in the near future, we will definitely be able to figure it out.”

Sven shook his fat body and clenched his fists.

“Yes, sir, you can.”

I said so, but I was guessing.

Perhaps, when mana is in the body, it is dissolved in the blood.

Just as food is broken down into components such as iron and minerals when it enters the body, magic power is also dissolved in very small components when it is in the body.

Maybe it’s what red blood cells carry.

Red blood cells are the hard workers in the body.

‘If I get used to handling magical powers, I might be able to treat them by moving white blood cells.’

It is truly a magical world.

I listened to Sven talking excitedly about magic, and gradually transferred the heat of magic from my hands to my arms.

Sven said that after feeling the heat of magic in his hand, he immediately started transferring it to another entity.

But I chose to practice with my body first and get used to it.

Knowing how to move mana and how to apply it to the body, you will be able to apply it to other objects.

Besides, I didn’t have much time to be alone.

It takes time to be alone to practice transferring one’s mana to another object and killing it.

However, since I was a child of a high-ranking aristocrat, I always had a nanny or butler by my side.

If the two are not there, another servant comes and stands guard.

I had very little time alone.

I once wondered what it would be like to try using bugs in the garden.

I thought that if it was a bug, even if there were people next to it, it wouldn’t stand out too much.

But when the nanny saw me catching bugs, she half fainted, so I quickly let go.

He was so astonished that I was shocked, and I thought that the insects in this world were poisonous.

But it turned out that it was simply because I had been touched by bugs.

In this world, it seems that children of high status aristocrats do not play with insects.

Of course, there must have been an influence that the nanny herself was the daughter of an aristocrat.

‘Come to think of it, my wife in my previous life was like that too.’

I used to scream whenever an insect landed on me or entered the house.

I remembered my wife’s face at that time and smiled for a moment.

But soon, her face changed to the look she had when she was entangled with her friend Kyung-wan, and my heart was engulfed in pain in an instant.

Anger that had been forgotten for a while strikes.

It was at that moment that the body changed.

A fever suddenly spread throughout the body.

“Queuck!”

Sven, who had been raving about magic for a while, bent forward and vomited.

Vomit scattered on the floor with a sour smell.

Since I was sitting right in front of it, it got a little on my clothes too.

But there is no time to worry about it.

Sven’s face went white.

“Miss Sven!”

I was startled and touched Sven’s body, and his face turned even whiter.

Unable to speak, Sven was silent.

“Bocchan! Are you okay?”

It must have heard my cry.

The door slammed open and the butler entered.

“Benno, the teacher is strange!”

I shouted, but the butler quickly closed the door instead of coming closer.

There was a click, the sound of the door locking.

why?

Thinking so, I could see a little sweat on the butler’s forehead.

weird.

The butler asked with a distressed expression.

“Are you okay, Bocchan?”

“… I’m fine.”

Except for the heat spreading all over her body, she is fine.

That fever is different from a cold or a body that feels hot due to illness.

It’s just warm magical energy.

“Maybe it’s because of me.”

As I muttered that, Sven-sensei nodded with difficulty.

Words don’t seem to come out.

If it is because of me, there is only one cause.

mana.

I panicked and tried to calm down my mana, but the heat in my body did not subside easily.

Rather, it’s because I’m embarrassed, so I’m stronger.

“Kuk… kuk…”

Sven tumbled out of his chair and fell to the floor.

The butler was standing by the doorway, quietly coming out and observing Sven.

However, his complexion gradually deteriorated.

It seems that the closer you are, the greater the influence of my magical power.

I quickly ran away from Sven to the edge of the room.

Standing against the wall and watching the two of them, the butler’s expression improved a little after a while.

Sven’s complexion is still white, but it seems that the painful period has passed.

Breathing heavily, Sven raised his head.

Her face is white and has a painful expression, but only her eyes twinkle.

“…hah… haa… amazing… Oscar! Your magic… whoa… whoa… it’s hard… It’s a great pressure… it’s spread around. .. oh my god… my research took one step… no… ha… ha… ha… five steps forward… uh uh uh uh… I’m going to die…”

Sven muttered and fell over, dripping with blood from his nose.

It is limp and does not move.

“teacher!”

As I panicked, the butler approached Sven and checked his condition.

“It’s okay, Bocchan. I just passed out.”

The pressure still pervades the room.

The butler had beads of sweat on his forehead like clusters of grapes.

The butler breathed lightly, as if trying to relieve the pressure.

“Brother, please breathe slowly. That will calm you down a bit. It’s okay, son.”

Maybe my own face was terrified too.

The butler spoke as if persuading him and smiled softly.

“I was aware of the possibility of this happening. Since I am someone you keep close to the young master, of course I also read and reviewed Sven’s research. Sven assumed that if mana is amplified inside the body, the heat may leak out. Of course it was theoretically possible, but it was written that it had never been witnessed in practice.”

The butler spoke again.

“It’s a simple runaway of magic, young master. No one was hurt.”

“…”

The butler’s words slowly spread through my confused mind.

thank god.

Like in the novel, I thought Sven had died.

The strength drained from his stiff shoulders.

This is a world where wars and battles are right next door.

In this country, where the royal family’s centripetal power is weak, besides the barbarians, there are frequent small-scale battles between lords or on the border.

Since I was born into an aristocratic family, I will one day be drawn into such a war.

Even if it wasn’t for that, I was prepared to kill others to save myself when I was in a situation where I would die as a villain.

But even so, actually killing people was another matter.

Even if you kill someone you have no grudge against.

The thought that I might have killed someone without even knowing made me terrified.

Maybe he was superimposing himself on him.

Even if it changes a little, will his fate of dying because of magic research be the same? If so, I might have thought that I would die anyway, subconsciously.

“…Is Benno okay?”

“of course.

It was when I thought of my wife from my previous life that the mana suddenly flowed like an explosion.

‘Does this effect occur when emotions are added to the operation of magical power?’

When Sven wakes up, it seems like there will be a fuss asking why the mana runaway happened.

As the butler said, I tried to erase the image of my wife from my mind while breathing slowly.

However, the heightened emotions did not subside easily.

The head butler came closer to me little by little while weighing the power of magic.

The butler’s judgment was correct.

If he had approached me without hesitation, I would have been so flustered that I would not have been able to focus on mana control.

However, the butler reassured me and only approached the point where I was okay, and each time he took a step closer, it became a measure of how much I was controlling my magical power.

However, the runaway magic that I experienced for the first time was quite difficult.

After quite a while, the heat in my body subsided.

By the time I confirmed that the mana had subsided to some extent, the butler was already holding me.

The butler slowly stroked my back and continued to whisper.

“… It’s okay, young master. It’s done. It’s over. Good job.”

The body itself wasn’t very hard, but my young body didn’t seem to be able to withstand the tension.

Hearing the butler’s voice, I fell into sleep like a broken thread.

When I woke up the next day, dozens of letters had arrived.

It was from Sven.

When the butler banned classes for several days, he sent a large number of letters in order to somehow hear about yesterday’s story.

“Did you just write a letter to me as soon as you woke up?”

As I muttered, the butler smiled bitterly.

“They say they’re still writing it. They say they’re looking for me as soon as I write it because I’m forbidden to deliver the letter to the servant.”

“…it’s good that you don’t have any problems with your body.”

As I muttered, the butler laughed softly.

After taking the nanny outside, I saw the butler.

“Miss Sven has magic, but Benno doesn’t have it, right?”

“That’s right.”

“How was my magical feeling yesterday?”

The mayor’s expression became serious.

He thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“In one word, it was fear and threat.”

“Threat?”

“Should I say that if I move even slightly, an invisible blade will come flying?”

“To be specific?”

“My whole body was shaking and my legs were weak. Cold sweat came out of my body and my skin felt like the air was oppressing me. I felt it for the first time in my life.”

“I didn’t see it that way.”

When I said that, the butler gave a small smile.

“I endured it with spirit because I thought I shouldn’t show my ugliness to the boy. But in my heart, I was really afraid. I think it’s similar to the feeling of a rabbit meeting a bear.”

“okay.”

I think I found something good.

If the magic that was unconsciously manifested was that powerful, it should be able to rise to a considerable level with repeated practice.

It might be possible to incapacitate an enemy simply by releasing magical energy around it.

“However, I don’t know if the young master will feel a little uncomfortable.”

“…”

“Yesterday, the nurse who was waiting in the hallway passed out. I could have covered the fact that it was because of the boy’s magical power, but he probably reported it to his wife.”

“Yes. I’ll tell Mother. Oh, but what about Mother?”

It’s strange that my mother would be there if she knew I had lost my mind.

“You are with your father.”

“why?”

“I have a little disagreement with my father. Mr. Bianca is requesting to have a meal with the young master.”

My eyes narrowed spontaneously.

The father eats at the rose garden after Bianca arrives.

It was only me and my mother eating in the main building.

“You want to call me to the rose garden?”

“no.”

The butler’s face became expressionless.

“Ms. Bianca wants to have a meal with her father, mother, and the young boy at the main building.”

“…Couldn’t you be saying that you’re sorry for monopolizing your father, or something like that?”

The butler’s lips twisted strangely.

It was expressionless, but it turned into a very mocking face.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

“So is your father telling your mother to do that?”

“That’s right.”

oh my head really hurts

Where in the world is there a concubine who begs her to have a meal with her son out of pity for her and her son, and is there a husband who wants to make it happen?

I wish I could just throw away that guy’s father.

“It seems that it will be like this from tonight.”

At the butler’s words, my head really started to hurt.

I thought about feigning illness, but in this world, the words of the head of the family are absolute.

No matter how much she hates her mother, she cannot disobey her father.

If I fall, my mother will be there alone.

“It can’t be helped.”

I took a small breath.

At least, I hope that the food that digests well comes out.
