85 – Experiment (4)

thud!

Asher puts the food bowl on the table. Its dull presence echoed loudly.

I was also a bit bewildered.

Even the mountain of food piled up in the bowl seemed bigger than Asher’s body.

“You can eat all of that, Asher?”

“yes.”

Even Raeli, who always ate a lot and moved a lot, looked dizzy.

However, Asher didn’t care and started to eat the food.

It didn’t take long to finish the bowl and immediately scooped up the food and gulped it down.

Two large mountains are absorbed like a storm into her small body.

Even so, Asher was salivating as if he was hungry.

Asher sat firm in his seat, resisting the urge to scoop up food again.

Fran gives advice while sweating.

“Assel, then you will gain a lot of weight.”

“I know, so I’m holding back.”

The satiation from earlier did not solve the appetite, but only satisfied it a little.

To that extent, the effect of the potion was enormous and extreme.

Because I was dumbfounded too.

Asher’s eyes, who had been suffering from hunger even after eating so much, were blurred.

…I think I’m about to collapse.

Even as I sighed, I wondered if it was okay to eat this.

“The effect is a bit extreme.”

“This… . It’s poison, don’t eat it.”

To be precise, since Asher, who had a normal appetite, ate the medicine that a person with little appetite like me should take, he ended up ingesting a bomb.

However, has the effect been proven?

I’ll have to try it sometime later.

Asher could not stand it any longer and passed out.

Fran, who had been looking around for Asher, who had fainted, made a cold-hearted decision.

“Rather than fainting because I was not feeling well, I think I have a mental problem. Did I eat something wrong?”

“…Strictly speaking, that’s right.”

Asher was taken to the infirmary.

It’s ironic that something like this happened on the first day of school.

After eating, they gathered in the classroom one by one.

There was nothing special about the first class.

It was a gathering of nobles and great prospects.

From the first day it went on quietly.

The aristocrats who had been keeping their eyes on each other seemed to be plotting something, but they didn’t openly act yet, so they let it go.

Class 1’s advisor showed up, but he didn’t pay much attention.

It was a person I didn’t know well, and there wasn’t a particularly great corner.

After the formal introduction and procedures, the students were divided into wizards and swordsmen and entered the class.

Raeli trudged out to the playground with a face full of despair.

“I’ll see you later, Argal… .”

“…yes.”

Nodding my head, I also move to take wizard class with Fran.

In the classroom, the professor was sitting quietly in a chair waiting for the incoming students.

He looked around the classroom with tired eyes and looked straight at me.

“Are you Argal?”

“Yes?”

I don’t know what he meant by calling me, but one thing’s for sure: his attitude wasn’t friendly.

There were good reasons for that.

As expected, he took out my suggestion to the dean.

“I heard from the principal. You’re at a level where you don’t need to take an academy class.”

“That’s right.”

In general, from the professor’s point of view, it was arrogant.

I’ve been immersed in magic for decades, and I feel bad when some kid shows up and tells me that I don’t have to take your classes.

I will respect the pride of such a mage.

In a way, it means that the student will not listen to the class.

But the reality is that I am a stronger wizard.

Still, the professor did not insist.

He boldly acknowledged me and accepted my offer.

“I heard that there must be a reason since I was admitted at the top of the class, plus I got a perfect score in the written test. I think I am well qualified to make such a request. If you prove that you really don’t need classes, I’ll give you top marks even if you don’t attend classes.”

“Would you really?”

“But if you can’t prove it, you’ll be my sidekick.”

…It sounds like someone telling me to look at me and become a slave, but for now, I nodded.

Isn’t that what you have to prove anyway?

Besides, I have a record of saving a city before.

I haven’t been widely known yet, so most of the professors and students only know me for my performance in the practical exam, but if I were to reveal this myself, what proof would I need?

How can we not respect the hero who saved the city?

By the way, I wondered what proof the professor wanted.

“I will give you five assignments. If you solve all those five tasks, I will admit that you act freely.”

“What is the assignment?”

“I’ll tell you from the first assignment.”

The professor took out a piece of paper and held it as if he had prepared it in advance.

In a way, it solves the problem.

In comparison, it was more difficult than the entrance exam.

As far as the fact that I got a perfect score in all subjects, as the professor brought it up himself, of course he would come up with this question.

Of course, it can’t be compared to the problem of solving the extreme difficulty, which is the highest level of difficulty, but the professor doesn’t seem to know the essence of the problem of the drama.

He nodded and accepted the paper.

From the beginning of the class, the attention is strangely drawn.

“A perfect score on the written test? Is it possible to get a perfect score on that difficult test?”

“This chief is great, it’s great.”

On the other hand, there were students who pointed out my arrogance.

“No matter how perfect your score is, you have to take the class. You say you are better than a professor who has been practicing magic for decades?”

“The professor is lenient, because he puts aside his pride and gives assignments.”

In the midst of such talk, I wrote down the problem in the answer.

And handed it to the professor.

The professor frowned and said.

“Is it difficult? It’s not too much of a task to solve at the student level. But if you can’t solve it, you have to join the class and become an assistant.”

“All solved.”

“What… ?”

The professor took the paper as if he couldn’t believe it at all, but he couldn’t stop his eyes from widening.

“This… . How at once.”

“Please bring something more difficult next time.”

The professor stood there blankly, bewildered.

No matter how many times I checked, the correct answer was written, so there was nothing I could do.

Fran, who was by my side, praised me.

“As expected, Argal, that’s amazing!”

“You can do this, too.”

Since he said he would give as many as five assignments, the professor adjusted the level of difficulty to some extent.

It’s because I can’t give you something ridiculously difficult from the very beginning.

It’s a problem that even Fran can solve.

But Frank shook his head.

“I can’t solve it all at once like Argal.”

“…maybe someday.”

With Fran’s talent, he could have been better at magic than I was.

Anyway, the professor didn’t forget his duty and started the class, and Fran started studying with a smirk as if she was happy just by taking class with me.

Classes were over, and free time came again.

As soon as I had free time, I went to the professor’s laboratory.

As if Professor Ophelia had been waiting for me, she immediately handed over the lab coat and said,

“If you die once, do you immediately resurrect?”

“No, there is some delay after death.”

“Do you have free time?”

I was about to nod, but I looked at the professor and asked.

“Are you saying there’s a chance you’ll die this time?”

“Yes, I’m going to work on engraving the circle, but it’s not stable.”

It was also amazing when she said that she had already completed the exercises.

Some people create a practice method by squeezing out everything they have accumulated throughout their life, but the professor made it in just one day.

“To make it so fast, it’s amazing.”

“What’s so great about it? The reason it takes so long is because they think about stability, the Undead don’t have to consider that.”

So, if you learn it, you may die, but it is said that it is a technique that was created so quickly.

…in her way indeed.

Of course, it’s immortal, so it’s right to make the most of it.

The country will do the same.

“This seniority method allows you to collect mana, but it is a seniority method that allows you to scatter all your mana when you want in a specific situation.”

“If that’s the case, there won’t be any side effects even if you use magic.”

“First of all, it’s the most realistic, but the least effective.”

That’s right.

Dispersing the mana accumulated in the body itself is quite low in value as an exercise method.

However, once you have a circle, you can build up mana at any time, and your identity as a wizard is secured.

If you can use it as she said, it’s not a bad practice.

Ophelia held out a piece of paper with countless complicated calculations, and based on these calculations, I began to carve a circle on my body.

Mana can be drawn through the necklace.

Others spend years carving a circle on their body, but I was able to quickly skip the process.

“Mmm.”

As soon as I tried to engrave the circle, pain began to rise in my heart.

Again, it is not an easy process. Even if it hurts that my heart hurts, I felt as if my whole body would explode at any moment.

This, too, is a problem with attempts to skip the safe course and create a circle in just one day.

However, my vast experience and knowledge have made the circle perfect.

“Are you great?”

As soon as I opened my eyes, the professor praised me.

That’s what happened. I completed the circle in just a few hours with the unstable circle practice method that I made in one day.

And as the professor assured me, if I didn’t respond skillfully based on my experience, it would be an unstable technique that would cause my body to burst.

After overcoming that and completing the circle, it is a situation that anyone would be shocked to see.

If Fran had seen it, she would have fainted in surprise, but since she is Professor Ophelia, who reacts insensitively to anything, it was only a small compliment.

I said while feeling a large amount of mana swirling in my body.

“Shall we try an experiment?”

“Try it once, I’ll take care of the absence even if I die.”

Even though the professor designed it himself, he thought he would die at least once.

No matter how much she is a genius, using mana and magic together is a different level.

However, I boldly brushed off the mana gathered in the circle.

Mana is drained and magic is put in here.

When the demonic energy flowed out, it flowed fine at first.

When demons gathered all over the body and tried to use black magic, side effects began to occur.

“Big!”

It is as if Magi recognizes the heart as an enemy and attacks randomly.

I immediately stopped operating the demonic machine.

Professor Ophelia, who has been observing me earnestly, presents the results of her analysis with her own eyes.

“Even if the mana is empty, the circle itself collides with the demon, so it seems that you can’t use the magic recklessly.”

“So what?”

If her analysis was true, there was no way to use magic after shaking off mana.

Unconditionally, mana and magic must coexist in my body.

Ophelia smiled and replied.

“First of all, that circle is a failure, so we should break it first.”

A truly bloody sound she spat out lightly.
