Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

I felt the heaviness of the sack.

When I looked inside, it was full of platinum coins worth 10 gold.

“About 100 or so? So a thousand gold?”

“Yeah, yes!”

“Is this a scholarship for the first overall grades?”

“Yes!”

“Are you going to give me this?”

“All right, of course not! In fact, first place was yours!”

“Hmm… that’s right.”

The moment he saw the gold coin, Merlin’s life, which was like thin ice, melted away as if it had been hit by a spring breeze.

he told Kay.

“okay. Please explain.”

“Yeah, that’s it. The final evaluation ended on the same day that you collapsed… it ended early. And······.”

Kay calmly explained how he came to first place.

Merlin, who had heard the whole story, put on an absurd expression on his face.

“So, as I said, I took the bag, but the professors and assistants recognized it as yours, not mine, right?”

“Uh-huh… because you’re fainting. Me, I clearly said it belonged to you… but the rules say you have to admit that it belongs to the person who brought it in last.”

“That’s right….”

Merlin smiled broadly at Kay’s explanation and patted her on the shoulder.

“Haha, I was surprised to learn that you hit me in the back again!”

“Hey, it can’t be!”

Kei was more surprised by the sudden death threat, but Kei was just glad that the misunderstanding had been cleared up.

That was then.

“But not…”

“Yes?”

“You finally got 1st place thanks to me, right?”

“Yeah, that’s natural.”

“But why only 1000 gold?”

“Yes?”

“Aside from the comprehensive academic scholarship, what about the class scholarship?”

“Yeah, that’s all, of course I was going to give it to you!”

Kay was startled by Merlin’s staring gaze at her, and she rummaged through her drawer and held out her small pocket.

Merlin, holding two pockets of money, gave a full-fledged cat-like expression.

“Heh heh~”

Although I didn’t get the first place grade, it was a satisfactory achievement to get the scholarship, which was my original goal.

No, it was more than that.

There was no need for a rank that could not be used anyway.

All he needs is a material reward.

‘If this happens, will you give out a scholarship for the first place in the overall score and the scholarship for the second place?’

The happy smile never left his lips.

Merlin patted Kay on the shoulder again.

“Come on, go ahead.”

“uh? Uh, where are you going?”

“Where?”

A smile never left Merlin’s face.

“I’m going to go get my scholarship. Please guide me.”

“Ah Okay.”

Merlin and Kay leave the room to receive a second-class scholarship.

In their dormitory, only Edward’s Long Sword was scattered.

***

smart-

Galah Hadd, who was doing business in his own office, lifted his head.

“Come on in.”

“professor. A cadet named Merlin came to visit. She said she came to get a scholarship.”

“Merlin?”

Galahad’s eyes deepened at the assistant’s report.

After a moment’s hesitation, he opened his mouth.

“Tell me to come in.”

“Okay.”

So the assistant left and Merlin went inside.

Merlin with a fresh expression said proudly.

“I’m here to get a scholarship!”

“…were you second in class this semester?”

“Yes!”

At Galahad’s question, Merlin lit up her lantern-lit eyes.

“It has changed a lot.”

“Yes!”

“It looks a lot better than it used to be.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Yes!”

“·················ogue.”

Merlin repeats yes to Galahad’s words like a parrot.

It was as if there was no need for further words and I wanted to give out a scholarship or something as soon as possible.

Frowning his only eye slightly, he pulled a pocket out of the drawer and threw it.

squeaky-

A pocket that went right into Merlin’s hand.

The heavy pocket containing more than 500 gold gently raised the corners of Merlin’s lips.

“Thank you!”

Merlin was the first to say anything other than “yes!”

But that was it.

“Then let me go!”

Merlin, who had no more business to do, gave a brief greeting and quickly turned around.

The moment he was just about to leave the office.

“Where did you learn magic?”

Merlin’s body stood still at the soft question.

He quickly turned his back to look at Professor Galahad.

The professor’s one and only eyes met Merlin’s startled eyes.

‘Do you know magic?’

This is the first time that the word ‘magic’ has appeared first from someone other than himself since reincarnation.

Harvest Day (2)

Harvest Day (2)

Galahad’s office fell silent.

Two people staring at each other without saying a word for a while.

Galahad was the first to speak.

“I took care of the dead monsters. I’m sure the assistants will know that I’ve dealt with it. The other kids thought they would shut up on their own.”

Merlin watched what Galahad was saying.

“I don’t know how you learned that power. Don’t ask deeply. Just don’t show it in front of others

“·················ogue.”

“Magic … is a dangerous force. That power will one day destroy you. ”

Merlin listened quietly to what Galahad had to say, then asked as soon as he had finished speaking.

“You know magic?”

“know. There’s no way you don’t know.”

A faint light flickered from one of Galahad’s eyes.

“Because the woman I knew also wielded the power of magic.”

“········································································?!”

A look of surprise crept across Merlin’s face.

he asked a question

“Isn’t there anyone else who used magic other than me?”

“There was. And it still exists.”

“Where are you now? him?”

“dead.”

Merlin questioned the absurd remark.

“Is he dead? It was just clear that it still exists…?”

“The ‘one who still uses magic’ I was talking about is not her. Her who killed her . . . no, she was talking about the guys who hunted her for her.”

“No, wait, wait a minute.”

Merlin waved her hand.

He organized what he had heard.

“So… you mean that wizards hunt other wizards?”

“Wizard… yes, she said that too. Those who seek the truth through mana. Such people are called wizards…”

“·················ogue.”

“Yes, you are right. The wizard is hunting another wizard. It may be happening right now. If you keep using magic, one day you will be hunted too.”

Merlin’s complexion hardened.

‘Damn it. Why didn’t I think of this?!’

Although science developed and the power to replace magic appeared, it was by no means easy for magic that had been passed down for thousands of years to be fully practiced within a thousand years.

Although it was downgraded, there should have been those who continued to explore magic, even if it was a small number.

And if there were such people, the world could not have known the existence of magic itself.

Obviously… it should have been.

‘Unless someone intentionally erased magic from the world.’

Merlin looked at Galahad with gleaming eyes.

“Who are you? they.”

“·················ogue.”

Galahad sighed heavily at his question.

He stroked the missing eye.

Just thinking about them made my wounds sting.

‘Should I tell you…’

Galahad was worried.

But the worries didn’t last long.

Merlin uses magic.

Then one day you will face them, and it was good to know her and be prepared so that her child would not be like her.

If she doesn’t want to make her tragedies like her….

After contemplating, Gallagher opened her mouth.

“… it is a denomination.”

“platform?”

Merlin’s eyes widened at the unexpected appearance of the name.

Galahad’s story continued.

“Have you ever heard of omnipotence?”

“omnipotence?”

There was a memory that flashed through Merlin’s mind at Galahad’s story.

‘Regeneration, strange shields, even flashes, only 3 awakenings already used.’

‘Oh, that’s right…’

‘Have you awakened your omnipotence?’

The question Sasha asked herself the other day.

The word omnipotence was mixed in it.

Merlin recalled this.

“Are you talking about the omnipotence… the awakening period?”

“right. Awakening Omnipotence. It is called the Awakening of Almighty because it can use two or more different awakenings.”

“·················ogue.”

“It is known that the church’s headmasters and high-ranking officials possess this omnipotence. It is not well known to the common people, but the nobles know it.”

“Why is that all of a sudden?!”

Galahad nodded her head at Merlin’s expression as if she had realized something.

“Almighty… that’s another name for magic.”

“·················ogue.”

Hearing Galahad’s story, Merlin fell into her thoughts.

Merlin asked as she pondered.

“I know that those who can use more than one awakening are all gathered in the denomination. Perhaps the awakening prayer they use…?”

“No, that’s not it. Except for the headmaster and high-ranking officials, it is certainly true that the Korean people have two or more awakenings.”

“Hmm···.”

Merlin’s mind wandered.

Awakening and denomination.

omnipotence and magic.

An organization trying to erase magic.
