The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

16 – Kagon Academy (1)

If you ask which comes first, Kagon Academy or the city of Kagon, people say the former.

It was only after the academy was established that the small border city was able to grow this much.

The reputation as the best magic education institution had the power to attract people and wizards.

So, centered around the Academy, proudly located in the middle of the city, a downtown area and a magic tower were formed.

The road to the academy was full of liveliness.

Before the semester begins, students arrive to take their seats and noisily recognize each other and say hello. We exchanged greetings during the vacation and talked friendly.

Faculty members preparing to welcome the student also travel to and from the academy in the magic tower’s carriage.

And merchants raise their voices and promote their products to them. Negotiations over magic items never end in the market.

When you pull aside the curtain of the carriage and look out the window, all the scenes unfold like a movie.

-Congratulations on your admission, Wizard! Just for today! Especially! To commemorate the occasion, we will give it to you at a discounted price!

‘Oh, that store is evil.’

You could occasionally see first-year students getting caught.

After crossing all those scenes, the carriage entered the academy grounds.

The wheels of the carriage rolled smoothly over the elaborately laid street tiles. Each tile was decorated with various colors and patterns.

There were many stone buildings on both sides of the street, and each building had beauty.

As if boasting of its long tradition and brilliant history, the Academy’s buildings were works created by master architects from the continent.

Ern fell into reminiscence while looking at the academy’s buildings and streets. Her memories of the fun she had playing games came flooding back to her. And Rosera watched Ern in silence.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the teaching building.

“You remember what I said, right?”

“Of course.”

From the Sensia Magic Tower to here, Rosera and Ern kissed about his past actions.

It was a fictional story created by combining Agnes Sensia’s letters and Erne’s memories that had been exchanged with Rogera.

Even to Erne, the story seemed plausible. While incorporating the fact that he had spent time in the North, he withheld information about his teacher.

And later, when he became stronger and needed more influence from Sensia, he made it so that there would be no contradiction if he announced that Ern was Sensia’s adopted son.

Rosera got off her carriage and walked towards the professor building, showing off her noble dignity. Her steps were light and graceful.

‘Who would believe me if I told someone like this that he was walking around drunk inside the magic tower…? ?’

Ern thought, ‘Maybe Lily’s advice wasn’t actually necessary,’ and followed her into the professorial building.

The staff member working inside the faculty building was concentrating on her work without recognizing Rose Ra.

Only after Rose Laga stopped in front of the desk did the employee raise her gaze.

“How can I help you?”

Rogera lowered her hood without saying a word. When her face was revealed, the employee noticed her eyes wide and visibly embarrassed.

“Ah. Come on, tower owner. I’ll take you to the president’s office.”

She was at least like this because she had made an appointment at the Magic Tower in advance, but she would have been more surprised if Rosera had really visited suddenly.

‘It’s new.’

As her guest, it was her first time coming to the professor building. In the first place, there wasn’t much to come to this building in the original work.

When you successfully complete an episode, when you have an accident, when you receive a graduate student offer (accepting increases the probability of a bad ending), when you steal a necessary item…

‘… ‘Why is it all related to strange things?’

They climbed the stairs and arrived at the president’s office in the corner of the top floor of the faculty building.

The hallway where the entrance was located was neatly maintained. Of course, there were no dirty places in the academy other than the students’ dormitory rooms. But this place had a particularly cleaner atmosphere.

The employee who helped guide the staff exchanged a few words with the president’s secretary, bowed his head in greeting, and returned to the first floor.

“What are you doing? Are you nervous?”

As Ern rolled her eyes and looked around, Rose Ra asked in a whisper.

“No. I was just looking around.”

Ern was watching her surroundings closely without letting down her guard.

‘You’re a master of illusion magic, so you should always be careful.’

Arbas Recto, president of Kagon Academy. He was a wizard of the 7th Circle and a capable administrator. And his specialty was fantasy magic.

In the original work, the president was someone who just threw puzzles at students.

For example, Arbas used illusion magic to create a bookshelf that did not exist in the library.

When the player feels suspicious and investigates the bookshelf, the president appears and says, ‘I guess you often use the library when you found this. ‘That’s amazing!’ While doing so, he gave out small rewards.

The time and location of this president’s event were random.

As a result, the people got to the point where they memorized the locations of most objects as if they were playing a game of hide and seek.

“Lord Magic Tower, the President said he would like to speak separately.”

“I understand.”

Rogera answered in an elegant voice. The Sensia Magic Tower lord was also famous for being courteous and polite to his opponents, no matter who they were.

‘Ah, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I was scammed.’

“I’ll be waiting for you, Top Lord.”

Despite what his heart was saying, Ern sat in the waiting room while maintaining a poker face.

***

When Rosera entered, her rector smiled and greeted her as he sat down in her seat.

“hehehehe. It’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while, President.”

They say things don’t change much as you get older. Arbas Recto was the same as I always saw.

He had a bushy beard on his chin and thick glasses perched on the bridge of his wrinkled nose.

“I don’t know what Topju is doing these days. It would be nice for him to come to the conference to get some fresh air sometimes.”

“I’ll definitely stop by when I have some free time.”

“I’ll look forward to it. Anyway, I was very surprised to hear this call from you.”

The president had a lot of work to do with wizards outside the academy.

Procurement of magic materials, inviting instructors, relaying scholarships for magic towers and students, etc….

It was Arbas’s daily routine to frequently come into contact with officials from various magic towers and schools, but the Sensia Magic Tower was an exception.

But this time, unusually, I received a call first. And that too with some pretty interesting suggestions.

“I think you know that the semester starts soon.”

“The professors and class schedules are all planned out.”

“I know.”

It was a proposal that I would not have even bothered to make if I was a group that was always looking for the beans that would fall.

But since the opponent was the opponent, Arbas decided to listen to the story first.

“I understand that there are no combat practice classes for first year students yet.”

“Nothing. They’re still chicks.”

First graders were kids who were just learning magic.

There were children from noble families who had separately invited wizards to practice in advance, but they too were just as clumsy.

“A palace meeting will be held soon.”

“Hmm…”

Arbas started stroking his beard as he nodded. He was listening and it was a gesture telling him to keep talking.

“A never-before-seen magic has been discovered.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“It’s similar to the black magic that only appears in children’s stories.”

“….”

Black magic was a magic that only appeared in children’s fairy tales. A fictitious setting to scare children, like ‘If you don’t listen to your mom, an evil warlock will catch you.’

“Is this true? Maybe it’s just a rumor going around among the country kids…”

“Eisenbern’s son was attacked.”

“Could it be Eisenbern…?”

“On the way from Arktos to Kagon. Fortunately, there was no damage.”

“Oh my…”

The president had memorized a list of students who needed special attention. And the duke’s daughter was a person who could easily be included in that list.

Although the Academy is not responsible, it was clear that it was an uncomfortable situation in many ways.

“I’m sure… There might be a topic of combat class on the agenda at the meeting…”

Kagon Academy is an institution that trains wizards who will be responsible for the future of the country. Therefore, it was bound to receive the attention of the royal family.

What’s more, this year, even the princess is entering the school. The justification for expanding classes was sufficient.

“The school member the tower owner was talking about… So, was it Ern? What about that friend?”

“He is a talented person who is being promoted by our Magic Tower.”

“Hoo….”

Arbas knew that Rosera was stingy with her praise. So she was naturally interested.

“Is it that much?”

“I think you’ll know it when you see it in person.”

Rogera continued speaking with a smile.

“Plus, I even experienced actual combat against black magic.”

“What?”

“Ern is a wizard who was active during the attack on Princess Eisenbern.”

“Is she from the Winter Castle Knights?”

“She is not from the Winter Castle, but she has trained in the North for a long time.”

It was an attractive offer.

The justification for the appointment of additional professors was sufficient.

The Lord of the Sensia Magic Tower vouched for her skills.

And according to her explanation, she was a combat veteran.

“hehehe… I guess I’m curious so I’ll have to see for myself. Top owner, can I try a test on that friend of mine?”

“Are you planning on fighting here?”

“You have to be young to fight too.”

Arbas laughed and shook her head.

“They’re trying to use illusion magic. It’s a method we often use on our students at the academy.”
