chapter 18
18 – Kagon Academy (3)
When you think of a president or principal, you usually imagine a dignified and solemn person.
In that sense, the president of Kagon Academy could be said to be a different species.
-Wow, what a surprise! No, President, what are you doing all of a sudden?!
-You are such an excellent student! Here’s your reward.
-… Thank you
I met many professors while working on the original work, but there was no one as unique as Arbas Recto.
He is the person in charge of the academy in the first place. It’s definitely a position that requires you to be busy and busy with work….
I wondered why someone like that was wandering around campus using illusion magic.
He is a person who becomes extremely serious when an incident occurs or an important episode progresses, but on the other hand, he can also be absurd when there is nothing going on.
Like right now.
What came was not fantasy magic, but real attack magic. The ice spear approached at high speed.
-Boom!
Ern intercepted Bingchang with several
Magic Missiles. She then melted the small pieces into .
“No, President, what are you doing all of a sudden?!”
The attack did not stop. This time it was flame-type magic.
Ern canceled out the approaching flames with several
Aqua Balls.
‘Are you sure you won’t stop until we counterattack?!’
Arbas cast a protection spell. The magic missile collided with the barrier and disintegrated into fragments of light.
“President, at this level, no, I can’t sleep-“
When the president showed signs of using another spell, Ern decided to use the skill out of desperation.
‘Hey, I don’t know.’
You’ll figure it out!
.
.
.
A lot of skill names were created in the field of vision.
“Let’s stop here. If this continues, it looks like office cleaning will take a long time.”
Rogera spoke calmly.
“hehehehe! Let’s do it.”
Arbas stopped casting and took a comfortable position, leaning back against his back.
“……”
Ern was keeping a watchful eye on Arbas and maintaining the summoning of magic missiles.
‘It’s bloody.’
There were dozens of mana arrows floating around Ern waiting to intercept him.
As long as he gave an order, he would rush in to attack at any time.
‘It’s incredible multicasting….’
Everything could have been prevented.
But seeing so many magics aimed at him, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.
‘I’m looking forward to the future of this young man.’
When there were no more signs of attack, Ern withdrew all his skills.
“Heh heh heh! It’s so good! It’s so good! Ugh, the air is so pungent.”
There was a burnt smell coming from the president’s office due to the influence of flame-type magic.
Arbas leisurely got up, opened the window, and ventilated the air.
“When you get older, you need to move your body like this.”
“….”
Arbas sat down again and smiled at Ern.
“That attitude of always being alert and prepared. Yes, that’s what a battle wizard is. As expected, I didn’t give a vain answer!”
Arbas then spoke highly of Ern and began his long speech about his magical beliefs and combat philosophy.
‘I didn’t answer in vain… ?’
Ern had no choice but to nod his head and agree with what his boss said.
‘… Could it be that the attack was because of what I said earlier?’
It was quite an interview for him, and he felt that his future would be comfortable only if he was selected as a professor. So, Ern chose only the answers that he thought the president would like.
‘I just copied what I liked to use with students in the original….’
Of course, the results were full of praise. But Ern began to feel uneasy.
‘Maybe I got the concept wrong… ?’
I broke into a cold sweat.
***
“Why is your expression so dark?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Rogera and Erne were walking down the hallway of the faculty building after finishing their meeting with the president.
‘Hmm….’
Rosera thought as she looked at Ern, who was worried with her stern expression.
‘Did he really have excellent observation skills, or did he just know…? .’
She was curious, but she couldn’t ask.
[Title Acquired: Professor at Kagon Academy]
[Reward: 10,000P]
‘In the end, it was there.’
This game has a title system. As it is a game with a high degree of freedom, choosing where the player belongs was also an area of choice.
Therefore, even if it was not a quest, rewards were given for joining a highly renowned magic tower or knighthood.
High reputation was the key. Of course, there was no reward for joining a bandit group or a devil worship group.
‘The fact that there was no compensation from the Sensia School means that they already belonged to it before possession.’
It was Ern, who was also registered in the Magic Tower management system.
‘In the first place, the founder of the school even adopted me, so I wonder if he didn’t recognize me as a member of the school.’
In fact, she only knew about other members of the school, including Rogera, and Ern was already a member of the school.
[Current points held: 12,860P]
The points I spent learning the 2nd circle magic have been refilled to some extent.
The 2nd circle skill that Ern learned was an attack type magic that applied basic elemental magic.
Compared to Circle 1, which can simply summon and move elements, its power was much stronger.
This was because the magic was created with attack in mind from the design stage.
For example, if the 1st circle wind elemental magic Is a skill that simply makes wind blow, the 2nd circle magic Attacks with compressed air in the form of a blade.
In addition, she acquired the 2-circle enhanced version of , And the Skill that changes summoned water into ice.
It took a long time to change the properties of water, so it was not suitable for battle. However, it was an essential skill for learning ice attribute magic later.
‘There’s still a long way to go.’
There were really many different skills in Fantasia. In order to become strong enough later, I had to design my skill tree wisely from now on.
‘As expected, more quests are needed.’
In the end, you had to collect a lot of points to acquire skills and level up your circle.
The academy staff had finished preparing to see Rosera off on the first floor. Rogera accepted their polite greetings as if she was used to them and went out of the teaching building.
“Tap Lord.”
“Huh?”
“Can I come in and look around for a bit?”
“Are you okay alone?”
“Yes.”
“Sure.”
Just like that, Rogera got into her carriage without even looking back.
To others it may have been a series of elegant movements, but to Ern it seemed different. ‘I guess I wanted to go back quite quickly.’ I had a thought.
‘You won’t start drinking as soon as you enter, right?’
I saw something like that yesterday, so naturally I was suspicious.
When Robin confirmed that Ern was not on board, she greeted him with a nod of her head and whipped out her words.
***
Erne left the grounds of her academy and was walking towards the downtown area.
At first she thought about taking a tour of the academy, but since she didn’t have a pass right now, she put it off until later.
‘It’s a waste of time to go around the garden just to check for outdoor hidden pieces.’
The optimal farming course was already in my head.
‘Of course, whether I will eat those items or not is another question….’
The number of hidden pieces hidden throughout the academy was limited. Therefore, I had to worry about monopolizing it.
‘Once the semester starts, I need to look at the children’s condition and make a careful decision.’
This world was filled with names like Eve Eisenbern, who were overflowing with talent and would be active in the future. If we acted without thinking, it could have hindered their growth.
“Come on~ Here are freshly grilled lizard skewers!”
Kagon’s shopping street was a very familiar place to Ern. This was because I often stopped by to supply items and proceed with quests.
“Hmm.”
The area around the food stall was filled with the smell of grilling skewers. It was a scent that naturally made my mouth water.
After thinking for a moment, Ern decided to buy skewers and eat them.
“Please give me a lizard skewer.”
“Enjoy your meal!”
‘Um…. No matter how you look at it, this visual is amazing….’
Lizard skewers were a popular food due to their setting. Of course, in Ern’s opinion, he was just a weirdo.
When I took a bite of the Lizard skewer, the sweet taste filled my mouth.
“Oh.”
The soft lizard meat melted in my mouth.
‘… What is this. ‘It’s really delicious?’
Buying items that could only be purchased in the game was also a pleasure. I felt like I might have a new hobby.
By the time she finished eating the skewers, Erne had reached her destination.
-White Cat Alchemy Workshop
This workshop was a place that periodically gave quests to collect medicinal herbs.
As Ern entered her store, the bell on her door rang cheerfully.
“Welcome.”
“Do you also purchase ingredients here?”
“Of course, sir. We were just running low on one of our reagent ingredients. Do you know about Sunset Wind Grass?”
[Quest: Material Procurement]
[Collect 10 roots of sunset windweed.]
[Reward: 50P]
‘… Do!’
Ern took out the ingredients she had put in her pocket and handed them to her waiter. She had taken this quest from her magic tower to see if she could receive it or not.
“Oh! You happened to be there at the right time. You’re lucky. I’ll give you the same price as the market price.”
[Quest: Material procurement complete]
[+50P]
[Current points held: 12,910P]
Points were obtained. This meant that she could normally receive and perform quests elsewhere.
‘Thank goodness.’
Excluding major quests related to names or scenarios, it was good news to have such a small source of points.
After finishing her business, Erne turned around and tried to leave to visit another store.
-Jingle jingle
“Welcome.”
“…!”
But I had no choice but to stiffen.
It was because the main character of this world came into the store.
