chapter 4
Master of defensive magic (3)
home back.
I recorded the contents of the novel in an antique study.
Focused on big events and major characters.
Focus on ‘bold narrative’ rather than ‘detailed episodes’.
It was right after I finished it, so I still fully remembered the contents.
As far as ‘yet’ means.
As time passes, memories are forgotten and the truth is distorted. The same goes for purchasing the character trait “Memory”. will sooner or later forget
I needed permanent data, not temporary memorization.
The “text book” was not sold at the specialty store, so I had no choice but to make my own.
“·······”
A total of 400 episodes.
About 2.4 million characters.
It was a massive amount.
Even if I tried to summarize it as much as possible, 10 sheets of paper came out easily. I didn’t even have a typewriter, so I had to write by hand. Sweat by sweat, carefully.
This is obviously a laborious task, but it was not laborious at all to me.
sss
A ballpoint pen standing vertically writes letters smoothly.
I folded my arms and focused only on the contents.
It’s been 12 hours since I was possessed by a novel.
Basic magic such as telekinesis and barrier was used without difficulty. He handled most of his business with psyche, used the barrier as a waterproof function, and completely adapted to his ‘magical intuition’.
At this point, a question arises.
Is Leonard’s magical talent outstanding, or am I just extraordinary?
······What’s good is what’s good.
Susseuk- Seuseuk- Tuk-!
The lively ballpoint pen fell helplessly. It was finally finished writing.
I mentally floated 15 pages of paper documents and stored them in my desk drawer.
“finished.”
Attribute potion and summary of 「Eternal Wizard World」.
It was already past 8 o’clock when I prepared the necessary preparations for survival. I leaned back in my chair and looked out the window. A cool breeze cooled her head.
A full moon shining alone in the dark night sky.
Baroque-style buildings and wizards enjoying the evening hours gathered under it.
It was an endless fantasy world.
“…I once dreamed of being a wizard.”
I have loved novels since I was young.
When peers read children’s books, they read fantasy novels, and when they played with robot toys, they dreamed of a fantasy world.
Among them, he longed for the magician.
The unique cynical atmosphere felt cool.
So the young boy desperately wished to become a wizard, and now, 10 years later, he has become a full-fledged wizard. damn it
“Should I be happy…?”
Like it or not, the fact that I am a wizard remains the same.
In other words, he had to live Leonard’s life from now on.
Leonard and Karios.
The two graduate early from the Imperial Academy at the age of 19.
After 10 years of teaching life, in the year he turns 30, his path is divided into the Imperial Family Guard and the Immortal Knights, respectively.
After graduating early, 10 years as a professor, 15 years at an intensive institution by department.
It is the shortest procedure to obtain the qualification of a great wizard, and an unprecedented elite course.
Considering that today is Karios’s engagement ceremony, they are 26 years old. It was the time when he was appointed as a professor at the Imperial Academy.
Besides, the new semester starts in 10 days.
In other words, after 10 days, you have to give a lecture as a professor.
“It’s a lecture…”
I turned my gaze and looked around the study.
The bookshelves, reminiscent of a library, had well over 4,000 magic books lined up. There are enough books related to “defense”, so there shouldn’t be any problem in accumulating magic knowledge.
In addition, Leonard’s teaching experience is in the sixth year of training.
The curriculum will have to be structured to some extent, and there will be assistants under his command, so there will be no great difficulty in preparing lectures.
The biggest problem is that I have no experience teaching anyone… Actually, this is not a problem either.
Indeed, the Imperial Academy is a university course.
Just like the lectures of actual university professors, the Imperial Academy professors gave unfriendly lectures.
In other words, it does not help students understand.
The teacher should make the class understandable, but the professor does not make the lecture understandable.
Understanding is the student’s responsibility.
In that respect, the lectures at the Imperial Academy were closer to ‘information delivery’ than ‘explanation’.
So, if you are familiar with the script, you will be able to proceed with the lecture without any problems.
Above all, for Leonard, the talent characteristics, “understanding of space” and “understanding of magic”. It has a unique characteristic, [Magical Insight], so it won’t be too late to prepare now.
“Come to think of it····”
Suddenly, I remembered a named character.
The “youngest wizard” who possesses the “quality of a great mage.” Destructive power comparable to Karios, the only one among the “attack series”. The child who will enter the Imperial Academy as a freshman this time.
It was then.
Weiying-
Light leaked from the crystal ball embedded in the desk. The name appeared on the blue crystal ball.
[ Frederic Geoff ]
It was Frederick Geoff, a retired archmage and current president of the Imperial Academy.
Soon after, a solemn voice was heard.
-Professor Leonard. Are you seated?
I answered with an example.
“Yes, Master. This is the study.”
-Right. I have an urgent request for you, but I want you to come to the academy right now.
As soon as Frederick finished speaking, a hologram window appeared. It was the first quest.
belt ring-
[Main Quest – Frederick’s Request]
Classification: Non-essential
Clear condition: Do Frederick’s request.
Reward: 200 points
Status: Incomplete
Once for the quest notification and once for the reward amount.
I was surprised twice in total.
With 200 points, you can get 150 points even if you buy “Discipline”.
It was a request that could not be refused.
Moreover, it seemed that he knew roughly the contents of the quest.
Maybe it’s a request for ‘that child’.
“All right. I will be there soon.”
***
Several buildings built on a vast site.
An antique and magnificent exterior like a medieval cathedral.
Imperial Academy where traces of wizards can be felt everywhere, such as various statues and magic towers.
The sedan I rode stopped somewhere.
“We have arrived, Master. This is the hectare tube you mentioned.”
“Good work.”
I got off in front of the ‘Hectar Hall’, a building dedicated to professors.
The scenery would have been beautiful if I had come during the day, but it was eerie because it was at night.
Even more inside the building.
“·······”
There was no one in the Hectare Coffin lobby.
The same is true if you go a little further and look around the central staircase.
In the corridor that stretched both sides, the moonlight that came through the window was the only one.
Since the president’s office is on the top floor, it will be difficult to walk there, and there must be a magic engineering elevator at the end of the hallway…
I headed down the hallway on the right. Footsteps echoed in the empty lobby.
Then step on the hallway floor
widely-!
Space began to warp.
Things get mixed up like decalcomania, the perception vibrates as if there was an earthquake, and the sudden confusion makes me sick.
The turbulence did not last even for a second.
I was standing in someone’s office.
“…?”
A place I’ve never been to before. However, he had a hunch that this was Frederick’s office.
The magic that just appeared is “Spacing”
A unique characteristic worth 4 million points, magic that only Frederick can use in the world.
So, that person must be Frederick.
“A face resembling a franchise chicken grandpa. However, the flowing texture is the difference between heaven and earth. A solemn figure that cannot be found without washing one’s eyes.”
Frederick, who was sitting in the head seat, pointed to the seat next to him.
“If you come, sit down.”
Even I was intimidated by his strong aura.
Until the middle of the novel, he is the strongest in the world, so it has to be.
“What is it, President?”
As I sat down, Frederick handed me a paper document.
Inside, someone’s photo and personal information were written.
[ Elia Agnes ]
Age: 17
Class: offensive magic
·
·
·
White skin and long black hair. An overall calm image. She has beautiful eyes, but there is no life in them.
Like a depressed patient, he seemed to have no will to live.
Elia Agnes.
As expected, it was ‘that child’.
I asked without hesitation.
“Why did you do this to me…?”
“I think you’ve heard of Elia.”
“That’s right. I can’t help but know.”
There was no wizard in the world of magic who didn’t know Elia.
She graduated early from the Royal Academy at the age of 15.
The problem was what happened later.
According to the standard, he should have entered the imperial academy early, but he has given up going to school now due to extreme opposition from his adoptive parents. That extraordinary talent was rotting away in the corner of the room.
This is a great loss not only to the world of magic, but also to the nation.
However, for minors to enter school early, the consent of their legal guardians was essential.
Since the Imperial Academy is not compulsory education, it is impossible to forcefully recruit.
Elia was a hot potato in the magic world.
“He is a waste of talent to give up like this. Especially in these days when demons and warlocks are rampant.”
“·······”
“So, I want Professor Leonard to convince Elia. Not just for the academy. Elia is essential for the peace of the empire and for the future of her descendants. Could you please do me a favor?”
Elia Acquisition.
I assure you, it’s not just Leonard’s request.
Several weeks ago, other named professors were also commissioned, and after all failed, Leonard was given the turn.
And Leonardo will fail too.
In the original story, Carios persuaded Elia.
Probably next to Leonard would be Karios.
“I will.”
I nodded.
It wasn’t just showing sincerity, it was actually a plan to convince Elia.
A quest worth 200 points.
Karios had taken Zeniel away, but he had no intention of giving up even the quest.
Lovely Jeniel is my first love…
No matter who brings it, it doesn’t affect the story later.
I must have done what I was hoping for.
“I thought Professor Leonard would agree.”
Frederick, who was looking at me carefully, smiled lightly.
“By the way, you look particularly confident. Is there any good way?”
“Could that be? It’s about bumping into it.”
Who was not the former archmage, he was too quick to notice.
Is it a good way…?
It can’t be, I know exactly what Elia’s circumstances are.
“Elia’s address is written on the back page. See you soon.”
I checked the back page of the document.
[ 477 Wisdow 4th Street ]
Wisdow.
The neighborhood was conceived by thinking of Harlem in the United States.
There are many criminals, and the streets are covered with homeless people. The area itself is of poor quality.
A place that implicitly shows Elia’s unhappy life.
“All right. Let’s go see it tomorrow.”
“Thank you. It’s late at night, so-“
“Instead, I have a favor to ask of you.”
I cut off Frederick’s words and looked straight at him.
It is inappropriate to be seen by superiors, but at times, it is proud to embarrass the opponent.
Give and Take.
If something goes, there must be something coming.
Frederick was taken aback by his bold appearance, which he had never seen before. He straightened the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
“…If it’s your request, I’ll do it. Tell me.”
“I need a potion.”
“liquid medicine······?”
Frederick’s brow furrowed.
It seemed that he expected material rewards such as money.
“It’s a potion… I can give you any amount of potion. But, what kind of potion are you talking about?”
I barely lowered the corners of my twitching lips.
Is it because of the superiority of knowing the information, or is it because of the excitement of getting points?
Smiles continued to leak out.
“That’s it …”
