The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

15 – Sensia School (4)

“Tower Lord…?!”

“Ah.”

What appeared around the corner of the hallway was a woman wearing glasses. She seemed to be a member of the order, as she was seen walking around her magic tower wearing a robe that said ‘I am a mage’.

‘… ‘You’re under guard.’

A woman is being hugged completely drunk. Meanwhile, only the man appears to be sane. Even considering that Rogera is an archmage, the situation is quite like that.

Ern coolly analyzed the current situation.

‘… ‘My first impression is that you’re bored!’

“Lily~?”

Rosera called her partner’s name without even turning her head. Seeing that calm appearance, Lily calmed down her anger and asked.

“Who is he?”

The sight of a smooth-looking person holding Rosera made me feel wary.

It was always common for the Magic Tower Lord to get drunk, but it was the first time she had seen her clinging to a man like that.

“Oh boy~ Ern s…ssiya!”

‘It was hidden even from the school people.’

For now, Ern decided to match Rogera’s rhythm.

“…Mr. Ern?”

“Yes, yes. Ern is a new student who joined our school today.”

“…?”

It took Lily a moment to process Rogera’s words. Newcomer? To the Sensia School?

“A new member of the school? Really? A wizard?”

“Come to the water~”

When Lily heard that her opponent was a wizard, she was a little relieved.

‘You didn’t pick up the gisaeng brother rolling around on the street!’

But there was still something displeasing.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Lily.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ern.”

Ern greeted Lily with a hesitant look because of Rosera.

“…Excuse me, but may I ask where you met the tower owner?”

Ern looked at Rosera with her urging.

“Ah~ Um… Ern…”

It would have been better for Rogera to determine the background for joining the school. Rather than Ern’s clumsy fabrication, Rosera’s story, which she knew about the true state of the Magic Tower, would have been more believable.

“…I picked it up on the street!”

Ern looked at Rosera as if she was dumbfounded.

I believed it!

‘You picked up a wizard rolling around on the street….’

Rosera noticed that Lily’s gaze was gradually turning suspicious and explained further.

“Ern is a self-taught wizard in the North. She doesn’t have any academic activities, but she’s still a genius~”

‘Genius?’

Lily never thought she would hear such words from the mouth of a magic tower lord.

It was Rogera who was called a true genius. Moreover, she was the one who spent time with Agnes Sencia and built her school from scratch.

That’s why I couldn’t help but be harsh in my evaluation of others.

-Lily. Isn’t our magic tower so empty?

– Top owner. Applications for school membership are always piling up.

-… They are all bastards. How do you get those kids through?

-Then we have no choice but to continue like this.

The problem with the Sensia School was that the threshold had become too high.

It was originally a tower built by an unconventional wizard named Agnes Sensia. Moreover, the magic tower lord who succeeded him was also a formidable person. As a result, the standard naturally had no choice but to rise.

So there were a lot of wizards who were so scared that they didn’t even take on the challenge.

However, it was not the case that excellent wizards who were confident in their skills came.

This was because most of them had already raised disciples in other magic towers and buried their bones, or had created their own schools.

We could also discover and nurture talented gemstones.

However, the existing members of the Sensia Magic Tower did not even feel the need to do so. They were already busy with their own research.

The majority opinion was to just keep going like this rather than worrying about new recruits who would give us headaches.

Of course, the problem was that the ‘majority’ was a number that could be counted with one hand…

“Were you in the North?”

“Oh yes. I spent a while up there.”

“Lily~ Can you guide Ern? I have a feeling right now.”

“…I understand.”

Rogera walked along the wall and got into the elevator.

“Where are you going?”

“Probably the tower main room or the research lab. They said research goes better when you’re drunk.”

“…Is that possible?”

Magic is a complex discipline.

Even if wizards concentrate completely with a clear mind, magic is something they find difficult.

Lily answered with a very tired expression.

“…I couldn’t believe it either so I watched it for a while, but the speed is actually increasing….”

Her weak voice seemed to contain the hardships of the past.

“Mr. Ern.”

“Yes.”

“Since you’re a wizard, I think you’ve heard of the tower owner’s reputation.”

“Right.”

I even saw that noble reputation with my own eyes. Of course she was in the monitor….

“I’m not trying to be a campaigner, but as a senior in my own school, I’d like to ask you one thing… Give up.”

“…?”

“The tower owner will never change, so just… just stay quiet outside.”

Lily’s eyes were dead.

“Ah… I understand.”

Is this school okay?

***

It was the next day that I met Rogera again.

“Lord Tower.”

Erne was sitting in her lobby, and when Rosera got off her elevator, she got up from her sofa and greeted her.

She was neatly prepared to go out.

Where had her appearance from yesterday gone? Her hair was neatly braided and neatly organized. The elegant dress and robe she was wearing seemed to enhance her dignity.

This was the Rogera that Ern knew.

“Ern, how was your room?”

Her voice and tone of voice were strangely calm.

“It was good. The meal was delicious too.”

Last night, Ern learned how to use the ‘Magic Tower Automatic System’ from Lily.

“hehehe. Isn’t it amazing?”

“Yes.”

When you speak to the glass plate, the golem carries out the set command. Cleaning and simple meals could be handled without the need for anyone.

‘Isn’t the Sensia Magic Tower over-spec?’

In the original work, there was no place I hadn’t been to except for the Sensia Magic Tower. And at this point, there is absolutely no place that utilizes magic engineering to this extent.

“This was my first time seeing this technology. How on earth is this possible?”

I was curious as to why something so good was kept exclusive and not shared with the Magic Society.

“I don’t know.”

“Yes?”

“Agnes did it all. I can’t even touch it anymore.”

‘It’s not that I don’t share, it’s that I just can’t…’ .’

“In fact, this magic tower itself is a magic circle. From design to operation, there is nothing that Agnes didn’t touch on.”

“Oh….”

I didn’t know that Agnes Sensia built a magic tower really meant what the words said.

“When this place was being built, I was a bit busy with other research, so I couldn’t participate. After everything was finished, I tried to study the structure of the Magic Tower, but it was complicated… But it almost worked well anyway, so I thought there was a need to invest time to look at it.”

“That’s what it was… wait a minute, ‘almost’?”

“It does make errors sometimes. But it’s not a big problem, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Could there be some kind of error…”

Rogera grinned. It was an expression that said, ‘You should try it too.’

“You should find out for yourself.”

“No…”

“Now, here’s your ID.”

Rosera took out a platinum card from her pocket. The card was decorated with detailed patterns, and the luster of platinum made the patterns shine even more.

At the end, there was a jewel containing mana that proved the authenticity of the ID card.

“If possible, it would be best not to bring it up. It gets annoying.”

“I understand.”

“Shall we go?”

Rose Ra put on the hood of her robe and walked out her front door. A shabby carriage was waiting in the yard of the magic tower.

“It looks a bit ok on the outside, but the interior is nice.”

There was a grim-looking man sitting on the coach seat. He was wearing tattered clothes that would be worn by someone who carries luggage at a store.

After briefly greeting the coachman named Rose, he magically opened the door of her carriage and got in. Ern followed suit and sat across from him.

Just as she said, it was well decorated inside.

The seats were made of the highest quality leather, soft and comfortable. Here and there, gold was decorated with artistic patterns in the form of curves.

“Who is he?”

“My name is Robin. He is the exclusive coachman of our magic tower that we have hired for a long time. He has a serious mouth and clean private life.”

“It seems like you pay a lot of attention to security.”

Other magic tower wizards enjoyed riding carriages with the symbols of the magic tower or school engraved on them. Dressing the coachmen in stylish clothes was also a bonus.

Rosera answered with a sigh.

“…If you can avoid troublesome things, you should avoid them.”

“It looks like you’ve been through a lot.”

“Don’t even talk about it. When I went out with Agnes… Wow.”

Perhaps because he was tired of just thinking about her, Rosera shook her head.

‘This is why I didn’t encounter people from the Sensia school in the original work.’

“I will take you to Kagon Academy.”

The coachman spoke in a stern voice.

“Yes.”

‘You’re really going to the academy.’

Kagon Academy.

In the original game ‘Fantasia’, you could go to and from various areas, but the place where you spent the most time was the Academy.

Kagon Academy was a place filled with memories for Ern. And the thought of seeing it with my own eyes soon gave me a new feeling.

‘…There will be a main character, right?’

A character controlled by the player and the main character of the original work. Erne’s strategy changes greatly depending on whether that person exists or not.

Ern had both anticipation and tension.

The carriage departed.
