Chapter 36 – Episode 36 Magic School Shutra (1-20)
“Ha, ha, ha, dean!”
The assistant professor was looking at the dean with a pale face and trembling.
Just by looking at his appearance, the dean looked younger, but he never looked like he was in his 30s.
With his white hair and the same black outfit as the other professors, his appearance was obviously ordinary, but he felt a sense of intimidation to the point of being breathless and choking.
The dean smiled and approached the assistant professor.
“Sorry for being in class. It was so noisy that I came in to see what was going on.”
“Ah, ah, ah, no! I am so sorry!”
The assistant professor suddenly fell to his knees and began to weep.
There was no way to know if the tears were from pain in the ass or from fear.
“Hey hey hey, get up. It could be.”
“Sin, sorry! Sin, sin, sorry!”
Even as he woke up, he kept shouting out the words he was sorry.
‘A person can be servile like that.’
[As a dean, you can easily knock out an assistant professor, so it seems that there is no choice but to be like that.]
The other students were also alert and stiff as stone statues.
The dean smiled, looked around the room, and opened his mouth to the students.
“I’m sorry. You interrupted me like this while I was taking a valuable test.”
“Oh no! Ha, ha, everyone will be glad the dean came in!”
“Heh heh heh. Who would like to see an old man like me.”
“Oh, that can’t be! Everyone, applause!”
Are you a crazy person, suddenly ask me to clap in a strange way.
However, the other students started clapping hard to see if they disagreed with me.
And I was one of them….
The dean looked at the assistant professor with a smile.
“Now that this is the case, can I watch the test?”
“No, of course!”
The assistant professor grabbed him by the hips, whimpered, and gently let go of the chair he was sitting on to the dean, bending him.
“Hey, sit down here! Dean!”
“Heh heh heh. Looking at the current situation, I think the assistant professor should sit rather than me.”
“I-I-I’m fine!”
“Then, despite my shame, I will sit down for a while. Now that I’m older, it’s hard to stand up.”
If you watch it without lines, you’ll think it’s a scene where Iljin is harassing a passing man.
Just looking at his appearance, the dean looked younger, so I felt a sense of disparity.
The dean sat upright and asked the assistant professor.
“Come to think of it, what happened earlier made you so angry?”
“That, that….”
The assistant professor explained what had happened earlier.
He left out the shamelessness he had done, and said that he had assumed that Lewis had used magic on him and was trying to punish him.
Lewis immediately responded.
“I am not like that!”
“Don’t lie! If not you, who!”
As the flames of battle were about to flare up again, the dean started extinguishing.
“Now. Calm down. Assistant Professor, have you personally witnessed that student use magic?”
“That, that….”
The assistant professor hesitated and could not answer.
The dean sat and looked at the students and asked a question.
“Has any student ever seen that student use magic?”
“….”
No one answered
“Maybe the assistant professor didn’t misunderstand. Common sense wouldn’t have prevented the student everyone was looking at from seeing him use magic.”
“That that….”
That’s definitely true.
In common sense….
‘Hey, this is a wonderful ability, isn’t it? If I assassinate with this ability, no one will know?’
[But if the tail is long, it gets caught. You should be careful.]
‘Okay~’
I looked at the dean while answering casually.
But the dean’s eyes seemed to be on me.
It’s not an illusion, it was really staring at me.
‘… Why is that man looking at me anxiously?’
[A mage of that level might have a unique ability that we don’t even know about. You may get caught, so you should be careful.]
After a few seconds of intense gaze, he looked at the assistant professor and said.
“But I can definitely feel the flow of mana. … It’s brain-attribute magic.”
After hearing the dean’s words, I started to feel a bit scared.
However, the assistant professor continued to drive the stern person as a suspect.
“Yes, yes! It must be that guy!”
“No, I….”
The moment Lewis tried to make an excuse again, the dean cut off his words and quietly opened his mouth.
“I will tell you just in case.”
When the dean opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
The dean’s expression looked quite different from before.
He was clearly smiling, but his smile showed no mercy.
“If there is a student aiming a knife at the professor at this school, I will punish them first. Do you understand?”
“….”
No one answered
It’s not that I didn’t.
A feeling of pressure so heavy that I couldn’t answer it pressed my whole body.
The problem was that the assistant professor was weighed down just like us.
The trembling assistant professor seemed to have difficulty even standing.
‘Wow… I’m not a great wizard for nothing?’
[He needs to be as careful as any other character. He’s an ally, but he’s not our ally, so keep that in mind.]
‘Okay… I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.’
The dean returned with a full smile and asked the students a question.
“Then, by any chance, is there a student here learning thunder attribute magic?”
“That… Ha, dean….”
“Yes?”
“The brain attribute subject is from this year….”
“Ah, my…. You blinked. It looks like I’m getting old and I’m getting dementia. Yes?”
The dean and assistant professor looked at me.
All the students who were watching the two of them also started looking at me.
I was alone, quietly raising my hand.
The dean looked at me with a questioning expression and said.
“Are students really learning brain properties?”
“Yes, it is an accessory, but….”
“Didn’t the class disappear?”
Although he is the dean, he did not seem to know everything about the school.
Regarding the class of only one person, it seemed to be organized by the full professor line.
I received a lab and explained that I was self-study starting today.
“This…. If he had had Professor Maximilian, he would have received a better education. Too bad.”
“Yes….”
I was putting on a sad expression, but I felt something strange.
I wondered if that expression really contained the truth.
The dean smiled again and asked the question.
“Did the student secretly use the magic circle?”
A suspect was now being driven towards me.
The moment I got caught unluckily, it was really the end.
“I….”
“Dean, he didn’t do that.”
“Hmm?”
It wasn’t me who answered.
It was Luna.
“I’ve been looking all along, but I haven’t seen any act of him trying to use magic.”
“Hmm….”
The dean smiled meaningfully as he looked at Luna and me alternately.
Then he looked at the other students and asked.
“Then, did any of the other students happen to witness it?”
“….”
No one answered
After a long silence, the dean raised his head to the assistant professor and spoke.
“It’s unfortunate that the assistant professor’s work is, but I think it’s a phenomenon where condensed mana naturally occurs.”
“Ha, if the dean said so, I think it would be right….”
Luna’s eyewitness account made it easy for me to get off her dragon line.
I don’t know what the dean thinks….
After a few conversations between the dean and the assistant professor, the exams were retaken.
However, unlike before, the assistant professor was more nervous than the students taking the exam.
“That, then, Sta Lunatveld.”
“This is Luna Stadtfeld….”
“Yeah, yes! Try using the magic circle.”
In fact, Luna would be the most disadvantaged here.
In an exam that requires a lot of concentration, a strange incident erupts, and it seems that the exam has to be taken in front of the dean….
However, Luna calmly completed her magic circle.
No, she is much better than before.
‘Looks like he practiced a lot.’
[Since it is an effort pin, there would have been no negligence.]
‘I guess it’s because I stayed up late and overslept today.’
I kept looking while praising Luna’s magic circle inwardly.
Fortunately, thanks to the dean, I didn’t have to see the assistant professor’s nonsense, so the class atmosphere went well.
It was my turn this time.
“… Next castle guardian.”
“Yes.”
I looked at the dean’s attention while walking in a different way than usual.
The assistant professor said he was looking at me disapprovingly like last time, but I couldn’t get a sense of what that man was thinking.
Just smile and look at me.
I went up to the podium and waited for the assistant professor’s signal.
The assistant professor, who looked at me with disapproval, gave me a signal.
“… Start.’
I started drawing the magic circle elegantly.
Thick golden stems formed a circle, and thin yellow solid lines filled the circle with runes.
The letters were arranged neatly without any confusion.
My hands were using the magic circle faster than my brain could perceive.
In a short time, he completed a golden magic circle that shone like the sun.
Total time is about 15 seconds.
Since it was a test, I was able to draw faster than usual thanks to my concentration.
All the students admired the magic circle that stably emitted electric current along with the brilliant light.
(Awesome, one magic circle draws really well.)
(Lewis draws better, but the brain attribute magic circle is really big.)
(Oh, should I try brain properties too?)
(Idiot, draw yours well. Drawing with your feet….)
(Will you give me a taste of my forefoot kick?)
Compared to the treatment I received at the beginning, I started to receive unconventional treatment.
Those who said they were commoners hardly mentioned the word itself, perhaps because they had adapted to school.
However, only one….
“….”
Except for the bastard.
The guy glared at me, then he looked back.
Unknowingly, I followed his gaze, but he was looking at Luna.
Luna kept my magic circle in her eyes with a blank expression.
The dean sitting next to me applauded and praised me.
“Heh heh heh. It’s really beautiful. I was worried because I was learning brain attributes, but can I follow Professor Maximilian’s footsteps? He looks better than when he was at this school.”
“Thank you.”
Inwardly, I recalled the memory of the professor who had been killed by his own magic.
‘It looks like the dead brain attribute professor is over 60….’
[Ludwig Rieffenstein is said to be about 500 years old.]
‘Crazy, half a thousand years, not half a hundred years.’
I checked the assistant professor’s reaction while chilling inside.
I graded next to the dean, but it didn’t look like he was grading carelessly.
“Assistant Professor, what do you think? The fact that a student like this is learning under an assistant professor.”
“That..Haha… I am glad that the future of our school seems to be bright….”
“Heh heh heh, there is nothing to be too humble about. Aren’t the assistant professors from this school too? Compared to those days, competition now is not even competition. Heh heh heh.”
Haha… Go, thank you.”
The assistant professor didn’t want to upset the dean’s heart somehow, so he bent down hard to match his mood.
Looking at the assistant professor, I felt the mystery of the human body.
… If I bent over like that with that belly fat, my spine would come out, but it’s amazing that my spine is alive.
I said goodbye and went back to my seat.
From the side, Luna was glancing at me from the side.
Today, even when I looked at him, he didn’t look away.
He looked at me intently, then opened his mouth without making a sound.
If I am not mistaken, she said to me:
(Thanks.)
I pretended not to know, shrugged my shoulders and smiled.
Luna saw my smile and responded.
She checked her smile and looked away to focus on the other person’s test.
