The Academy’s Genius Magic Swordsman chapter 156

The magic communication orb he received from Seneran Winte earlier as a reward for saving his life was useful in many ways.

It was because there was no such thing as something that could be used to convey the current situation at the academy to my mother in the Perdalos estate.

There was a limit to visiting the mansion directly through the warp gate, and writing a letter and sending it to the manor was an act that had to spend a lot of money and time. The other side was much simpler.

Since it was portable, Delphina could use it often, so the siblings could make regular contact once or twice a month without cumbersome means.

By the way, it wasn’t like Seneran’s office hadn’t been able to send a magic message. Although it’s only one time.

He seemed to be a fairly busy person, so if he contacted him at any time, he would be a nuisance to the woman who gave him the precious magic tool.

So, on the first day I received the magic communication crystal ball, I didn’t contact Seneran that evening as a motion test, except to thank Seneran with the magic communication crystal ball.

In the first place, there was a separate place where magic communication was used the most.

The church dormitory of St. Claire, her sleeping quarters and her office.

It was almost a new routine, so the most common place to contact her was to contact her twice a week through the magic communication crystal ball placed in her dormitory.

Expensive items called magic communication crystals weren’t common enough to be installed in a student’s room, but Saint Clare was definitely not a normal student because of her status and ability.

Even if it wasn’t me, it was an essential item in many ways for her, who had to be contacted by the Holy See or other major churches.

And the coordinates are the form I received once, just in case.

When a difficult situation arises, if only dialogue or force is needed, it can be sorted out somehow, but of course, all the problems that arise cannot be solved with simple dialogue or force.

In particular, Saint Claire was of a high standard even as a priest and was able to create a variable called the power of fate, so there were many things she needed.

She needed her help for things like first aid treatment for the injured and changing the future that couldn’t be dealt with with the power of fate.

Saint Claire’s power was of great help in many ways in the case of rescuing Seneran Winte, which was the opportunity to receive this magic communication crystal ball in the first place.

If I went to her dormitory whenever something was needed, there was a possibility that bad rumors would arise between Saint Clare and me, just like the last time.

That’s why it was quite a while ago that the coordinates of the magic communication orb installed in her room were exchanged. It must have been Saint Clare’s suggestion that this process led to regular communication.

If you recall for a moment the conversation we had then, you probably remember that it was something like this.

“… The coordinates of the magic communication crystal ball in my room? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“I received a magic communication orb as a reward for rescuing Miss Seneran the other day. That’s why I’m trying to get the coordinates so that I can contact Saint Clare as well.”

“Would you like to contact me? Are you saying Mr. Conrad is in touch with me privately?”

“Yeah. I was wondering if I could get help quickly if I could get in touch with Saint Clare in a situation where I needed help like last time.”

“… Ah, that’s what you meant.”

I don’t know why, but when she heard my explanation, Saint Clare’s expression felt strangely regrettable.

“And if I keep breaking into the saintess’s dormitory because I have something to tell her, wouldn’t there be bad rumors like the last time?”

“Those rumors don’t really matter anymore… .”

“If you can’t reveal it because it’s an element that needs to be kept secret, I won’t bother asking. If it’s Saint Clare, there must be many people besides me who need to be contacted.”

“No, that’s not it. Of course, I’m not going to give out the crystal ball communication coordinates to just anyone, but Mr. Conrad is probably fine. Instead, please refrain from leaking it outside.”

“Of course, I never thought of that from the beginning.”

“Then please wait a moment.”

After saying that, Saint Claire wrote down something in the notebook she seemed to always carry, then tore up the page with the address and handed it to me.

“These are the coordinates of the magic communication crystal ball installed in my dormitory room. You may not be able to get it on the weekends because you have a lot of schedule, but you can probably get it from evening to night on weekdays.”

“Thank you, Saint Clare.”

“Here, please write Mr. Conrad too.”

Saying so, Saint Claire handed me a notebook and a pen and instructed me to write down the coordinates of the crystal ball as well.

“Please also write down the coordinates of the magic communication crystal ball installed in Mr. Conrad’s dormitory. I’m not a 3rd circle mage, so I can’t directly operate it, but the Orthodox Church always replenishes the scroll that activates the magic communication crystal ball.”

“I’m sorry, Lady Claire. I cannot give you the coordinates of my magic communication crystal ball.”

“… Are you sure you don’t want to receive calls from me? Are you saying you only want to get the coordinates of the crystal ball in my room?”

I hurriedly continued my explanation to Saint Claire, who glared at me with a bloody expression.

“It’s not like that, it’s because the magic communication orb I received is portable. Because the portable crystal ball has no coordinates, there is no way to contact you in the first place.”

“… Then you should have told me that first.”

“I apologize for using expressions that may cause misunderstanding.”

Upon hearing my words, Saint Clare tilted her head.

“Hmm… . No matter how it is, I feel like I’m getting in touch too generally… … .”

St. Claire, who was muttering something like that, gave me a new proposal with an expression as if she had suddenly had a good idea.

“Then why don’t we keep in touch regularly?”

“Yeah?”

“At this rate, when I need to contact Mr. Conrad, I will not be able to communicate, so let’s set a time to contact him every day. In that way, I can organize the story to convey to Mr. Conrad according to the day I contact him, and I do not have to wait every day for a call that I do not know when it will come.”

Certainly, it was the right suggestion.

Although it was said bluntly that you could be contacted from evening to night on weekdays, this was only limited to general occasions, and in reality there would be certain schedules that would not be received.

After all, it is impossible not to schedule an entire weekday just to receive one call from me.

If a date and time are fixed and regular contact is made, Saint Claire will be able to schedule another date, and even if they overlap, she will be able to inform them in advance.

It was undeniable that regular communication in either direction was far more beneficial.

“Then, how about every Monday evening at 9:00? By that time, it will probably be time to return to the dormitory after exercising, so it will be time to contact him for an hour or so.”

“Every Monday at 9pm?”

“That’s right.”

After hearing my suggestion, Saint Clare put on a worried expression for a while and started talking to herself again.

“Once a week is too little… . But if I told her to call me three times a week, she would think I was a nuisance… . Umm… .”

“Saint? What are you muttering to yourself?”

“Oh no?! … … This, twice a week. How about 9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays?”

“You mean on Mondays and Thursdays at 9pm?”

“If it’s once a week, you might have to wait for the next contact for almost two weeks if there is an unavoidable schedule that day. Of course, if it’s not urgent, we can meet separately at the academy, but then there’s no point in talking through the crystal ball, right?”

After hearing that, once a week definitely felt like less, so I nodded my head this time as well.

“That’s a good idea, Saint Claire. So, let’s schedule every Monday and Thursday from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM as regular communication days.”

“And even if you have nothing to say, make sure to keep in touch every time. Maybe I have something to say on my side.”

“I understand, Saint Clare.”

It had already been a month and a half since we had such a conversation.

The number of regular correspondence with Saint Clare, which began with this opportunity, also reached double digits.

After talking to each other for two hours a week, the conversations between me and her became quite large before I knew it.

The problem was that there was almost no meaningful information among them.

Coincidentally, on Monday, too, I was talking to Saint Clare through regular communication.

“… One of the patients who came to the church after the last evaluation match had an arming sword in his hand. So, of course, I thought he was a swordsmanship student, but it turned out that he was a magician student like Mr. Conrad.”

“Hmm, I see.”

“I think the number of people who clumsily imitated Mr. Conrad has increased quite a bit after seeing how he handles swords and magic together. Until last year, it seems that no one in the Ministry of Magic has ever carried a secondary armament, except for Mr. Conrad.”

“It seems that there are people who have learned from seeing that magic isn’t all about power. If you are not familiar with swords, it will take quite a while to master it, but if you learn it for half a year, you will be able to achieve meaningful results in battles between wizards.”

It was a natural result, since being able to use both the quick response of a swordsman and the firepower of a wizard would be of great help in actual combat.

I didn’t act with this situation in mind, but perhaps this generation of wizards will become a little more useful.

“And there is a cat that comes and goes every day in front of the Orthodox building, right? It didn’t seem to be seen for a while, so I thought it went somewhere else, but this morning they took the pups with them. how cute… .”

Usually, with this feeling, the ratio of relatively less useless and just useless stories was divided at a ratio of 1:9, which was the content of the regular correspondence held twice a week.

That doesn’t mean it didn’t mean anything, though. Living my personal life while listening to St. Claire’s story was quite helpful in relieving stress in my own way.

There was nothing more enjoyable than having a lot of conversations with like-minded people to cool your tired head.

There were a lot of things I could relate to in the story with Saint Clare. Especially when she curses the rotten parts of Orthodoxy.

“The other day, there was an event where high-ranking priests gathered, and the old Alew I hadn’t seen in a long time was beyond words.”

“Aleu, are you referring to the elder of the Great Church of Madea?”

“Yes, that is correct. They said they were trying to induce me to make mistakes, but now that it has only verified my abilities, I don’t think I have a place in the Orthodox Church. Anyway, it’s like the elders there are eating each other, but thinking about what happened at that time, I feel a little relieved.”

“Isn’t it about reaping what you sow? In that sense, don’t make too many enemies, Saint Claire.”

“It’s okay because I manage my facial expression properly at official events. You know, Mr. Conrad. How well I held back my laughter the other day at the Great Church of Madea.”

“Of course, I am well aware of it.”

No one is as good at managing facial expressions as she is, so my head naturally nodded even though no one was looking.

About 30 minutes had passed since I had such a casual conversation with Saint Clare, so it was time to get to the main point of the conversation.

Up until now, there had been no special communication, so I ended the communication by listening to her chatter and chit-chatting the whole time without saying anything.

Today, I had to tell Saint Clare an important story that I couldn’t skip.

I was determined to minimize the tragedies that had occurred in my previous life, so of course I had to do whatever was within my reach.

In order to participate in this incident that was to take place some time later, Saint Clare’s help was absolutely necessary.

“Saint Claire.”

So, the moment I tried to bring up the main topic of today’s communication, calling her name, the story I was about to say came out of her mouth first.

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Well, I’m not going to receive regular correspondence next week. I will not be at the academy due to the schedule called by the Orthodox Church.”

I hadn’t imagined that even Saint Clare would be involved in this case.
