Cynthia(2)

border area and disciplinary committee.

Although incidents occurred from the beginning of the semester, there were no major cracks in daily life.

The students who received the penalty points were self-reliant, and the professors did not mention the day’s incident to prevent further confusion.

There was no big change in daily life, and time passed like that.

My schedule was the same as usual, and the class went smoothly.

“…So, what I’ve learned so far is the main point of understanding the communication of the Demon Beast. It’s not easy to understand at once, so take your time and learn it.”

I finished talking and checked the time.

4:00 p.m. sharp. I organized the class without regret.

I could hear sad sighs here and there, but I couldn’t pass the time and continue the class.

“Next time, I’m going to do a simple practice based on what I’ve learned so far. The classroom will change, so keep an eye on the lesson plan.”

I thought I would accept any questions, but there was no such student.

Because you can be curious and have a high level of understanding.

It is still in the early stages of the class, and it is time for you to be curious and not even know what you are.

If you start to get used to the contents of the class after about a month, you will know what you are lacking and what you are curious about.

Knowing that, I left the classroom without regret.

‘And there was something to be received…’

Today is the day the weapon I ordered from Lana arrives.

Maybe it was because he was able to fill the empty seat of his weapon that had been empty for a long time, so his steps towards the office were very fast and light.

When I arrived at the office, I saw two ink-colored cases on the desk.

The signature of gunsmith Blue Rose was engraved on the outside of the case, but the signature was very luxurious compared to the collapsed appearance.

Will the content be as good as the signature?

When I opened the case, the 30 million won weapon I ordered was revealed.

“It’s fine.”

A pair of two revolvers shining in a beautiful silver light.

And an ammo box with some space magic built in.

When I heard it, the weight was exactly what I ordered, and there was no play or cracking between the parts at all.

In particular, I ordered a high degree of magic conductivity that can hold a lot of magic power, so the production difficulty is very high because I have to use ‘hon steel’, a magic stone-based alloy, as the material that makes up the barrel.

However, Lana perfectly digested the high-difficulty design, as if taking responsibility for the words to trust and entrust.

No, on the contrary, it felt like it was made better than I thought.

“One skill was real.”

This is enough to be called a firearms master on Earth.

It’s not 30 million won, but I smiled happily at the quality that would not be enough even if I gave it twice that.

‘I will visit you often.’

I thanked him inaudibly and put the revolver around my waist with the enclosed holster.

Then, the emptiness I felt so far was filled, and a great sense of security enveloped my body.

How anxious he had been since the weapon he always carried with him was gone.

Although he did not express it, the empty waist was the biggest stress in Helios’ life.

Now that I have been freed from that stress, my condition is as light as flying.

‘All that’s left is a test.’

He loaded his gun with ammo and aimed straight through the open window.

The target is a remote tree in a park far away. When I pulled the trigger at the target that looked like a dot, a blue flash exploded with a roar.

bang!

The fired bullets flew through the air in an instant and lodged precisely in the tree they were targeting.

A trajectory with no errors in aiming.

Showing the top of the smashed tree, I sat down and sat down with my revolver.

I decided to try using it in earnest later and was about to clean it up along with the ammunition box, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door of the office.

smart-

“Who are you?”

-Well… Poetry, this is Cynthia Westerlund, Professor…

As a visitor, it is an unexpected person.

Is there anything the child might want me to do? I thought about it, but nothing came to mind.

“Come in.”

After brief permission, the door opened and Cynthia entered the office with a hesitant look.

The way he came in holding the old notebook tightly in both hands was like seeing a puppy.

“What’s going on?”

“That’s… there’s something I don’t know about in the lecture. There’s no one to ask… that’s…

Is it okay if I ask…?”

I readily nodded.

It is very important to ask questions without leaving things unknown.

When I gladly offered a seat, Cynthia’s face, who was holding a notebook, opened up especially brightly.

Is it something you’ll love so much?

“What are you curious about?”

“Ah… four! Here’s the coding part of the demonic language and the artificial magical power movement part…”

She showed her notes and asked questions.

The contents of the notes were very dense, and all of them were key parts that penetrated the class content.

It was a part that showed that she was very focused and listened to the class.

“When analyzing the magic conversion here, the conversion value is…”

“Subtract the decimal point from the converted value. This is an unnecessary part.”

“Well, that’s right! Then, to express the coded language with magic…”

“All you have to do is set the magic concentration to 5 and increase the strength by 0.3. That’s right.”

I explained the related content in terms that were easy to understand as much as possible, and each time Cynthia absorbed the information I gave her and improved her understanding.

If I did not understand well, I asked several times, and I calmly answered the question.

After about 30 minutes like that, she became so good at mana handling that she was able to express a few words in the masu language.

I nodded my head at the sight of his talent clearly revealed.

‘In terms of analyzing and reconstructing magic, it might be on par with Estelle or even better.’

Cynthia did not respond to the magic pulse of the opening ceremony, but that does not represent all the talents of the students.

It’s just the most comfortable means of assessing talent, and sometimes you can find someone with developed talents even if you don’t have this kind of sensitivity.

In particular, the talent Cynthia possesses is a fairly rare ability.

This is because he has excellent abilities in interpreting the magic patterns of various abilities to find ways to destroy them or translating magic words.

It may be looked down upon in general studies, but in a wartime situation, there is no better ability than this.

If done well, it is possible not only to destroy the magic beast’s ability, but also to intercept their communication to obtain information or send the wrong command.

Clearing the border area with barrier art must have been the result of such talent.

‘Looks forward to the future.’

As I was thinking about that, Cynthia, who had finally embodied ‘Nice to meet you’ in her Masu language, looked at me with a nervous expression.

“Uh…how is it, Professor?”

“You did well.”

“Good job… yes?”

“Good job.”

I praised him without hesitation.

From what I can see, it was a great magic power transformation.

“The operation of magical power is smooth, and there is no noise in the language implemented. Even though it is a simple language, at the student level, this is a great perfection. If it was an assignment, I would have given it an A.”

“·······.”

“Cynthia, you seem to have a talent for converting and interpreting magical power… Hmm?”

However, Cynthia’s reaction was a bit strange.

She was staring blankly at me with her bunny eyes open.

“It’s the first time…”

“What do you mean?”

“The person who told me I was good…”

“·······.”

“It’s something I’ve never heard before…”

Wiping the tears in my red eyes with my sleeve, I nodded.

Seeing her again, a bright smile appeared on her face.

“Thank you. I will work hard. Really.”

“yes.”

“Next time, if there’s something I don’t know… may I come over?”

“Do it.”

“thank you!”

She bowed several times, and left the office with the words that she would go only when I felt burdened.

The vacancy of Cynthia, who had left, was especially bothering him.

“Because it’s the first time to praise…”

it’s not that i don’t understand

The world hates demons, and the professors who knew her birth must have persecuted Cynthia.

I don’t know how I went to the academy, but I would have heard discrimination and verbal abuse like a daily routine.

‘It didn’t go astray and grew up well.’

Even a demon who grew up in an ordinary way will inevitably become crooked if he lives his whole life being persecuted.

In fact, there are many anecdotes of demons who grew up in a normal environment and turned to demon beasts.

However, Cynthia did not lose her innocence even in such an environment.

Perhaps, it means that the innate mind is that good.

Then, as a professor, it would be appropriate to become a minimum fence.

I have no intention of openly showing favoritism, but wrong discrimination and persecution must be corrected.

I decided to continue thinking about Cynthia’s problem, and I decided to solve the next problem.

I said to the closed door of the office.

“Stop eavesdropping and come in.”

kiik-

The door opened, and I saw a familiar blonde dangling.

It was none other than Estelle who poked her head out.

“Excuse me.”

She entered the office with a fresh face, looked straight at me and said.

“I didn’t eavesdrop.”

“·······.”

“I just came and heard it. I was also covering my ears.”

“···yes.”

“Then I missed the timing to come in.”

“Right.”

“I am innocent.”

“I get it.”

Her cheeks swelled in dissatisfaction when he answered roughly.

“Why are you here?”

“Grandpa set the time.”

Estelle handed over a letter.

It was a letter with a red wax seal in a luxurious envelope.

“There’s a banquet at our mansion next Saturday. I’d like to meet you there.”

“Then is this an invitation?”

Estelle nodded.

“Show it and the guards will let you through.”

“Okay. Say thank you to Grandpa.”

“Of course.”

Estelle smiled softly and turned around while saying hello.

Is this the end of the dragon? I didn’t know that he would come directly to run an errand, but it was unexpected.

“ah.”

“?”

However, as Estelle was about to leave the office, she suddenly turned around.

Then, he spread his magic with his hands and realized the magic language.

It meant ‘Nice to meet you.’

“I understood everything in the professor’s class without asking questions.”

“I see.”

Then he took out a notebook from his bag and unfolded it.

“The handwriting is perfect.”

Folding the notebook, she laughed.

“How is it?”

“You did well.”

Only then did Estelle nod her head in satisfaction, and left the office after saying ‘excuse me then’.

“·······?”

What was it just before?

Contrary to what it looks like, were you the type who was hungry for compliments?

“… These days, kids know, but don’t know.”

let me do my thing

Putting the schedule for next Saturday into my head, I quietly packed my weapon.
