Surviving as an Academy Black Magician

Chapter 27

The voices of panicked students could be heard from all around.

“What, what! How did this happen? Illusion magic?”

“I was obviously in the building until just now… . female… It’s not the place where we tested… ?”

“What is it? Even if you are a great mage, how can you change the entire space? Is that possible with magic? You didn’t even sing!”

“… hahahaha, isn’t it? Could it be that there is something else to do here or something like that? right? huh? right?”

Each reaction was different, but there was one thing in common. just fear.

Most of the kids were scared. That’s how much the test he went through in the Forbidden Forest became a trauma.

I’m not sure if it was aimed at this kind of reaction, but it must have been malicious.

‘… PTSD doesn’t come.’

widely!

Again, the surroundings returned to their original form.

Rather than seeing the Forbidden Forest again, it gave me more goosebumps that there was a person who could change the entire space with a single gesture.

“Judging from everyone’s reactions, it seems that I was quite satisfied with the exam I prepared for.”

No one answered, but most would have cursed inwardly.

It must be evil too.

“Did you see it? With one gesture of my hand, I can control the entire space here. If you put your mind to it, you can make all of you here disappear in the blink of an eye.”

Isn’t that a crazy b*tch?

Seeing him say such bloody words casually, it seemed like he was not in his right mind.

“It’s a joke. Aren’t all of you gathered here excellent talents who passed the test I made? Be confident everyone. The magic I showed you. That is your future. Does it seem impossible? Are you afraid? Then you can turn around and get out of here.”

I thought there might be at least one student going out, but that didn’t happen.

“From now on, you will see, hear and learn many things here at the Salomon Academy. The first thing you will learn is to never give up. A shattered dream? Hope torture? delusion? It’s all right. As you all know, the world is not fair. Even if you make the same effort, it will produce different results depending on the talent you have. Realistically, there may not be a single person who can reach the same level as me. So, from what I said, did you think it was impossible to be like me?”

Accurate. I wondered if he was using mind reading.

“Magic is the science that makes the impossible possible. Those who do not dream have no choice but to stay awake in their dreams for the rest of their lives. The moment you give up on the possibility, you wake up from your dream. Even if it’s a delusion, an empty dream, or a torture of hope, if you don’t give up, you too will be able to become a full-fledged wizard.”

The applause resounded so loudly that the building floated away.

It seems that most of the students listened to the chairman’s speech quite impressed.

I guess it’s not quite like that.

If I had to say it once, it seemed a bit pseudo. And it was too full of talk about magic.

Aren’t you discriminating against kids who dream of becoming knights?

“The same goes for those who dream of being knights. You, who are here, are the future of the academy and, by extension, the empire. Congratulations on your admission.”

That’s right. mind reading.

The chairman came down from the podium after his speech. The reaction was explosive.

Among them, there were even those who shed tears of emotion.

Actually, it was said by the one and only great mage on the continent, but it was only natural that applause would pour out even if he suddenly pooped.

It was then.

A student from Class A shouted loudly.

“Chairman! I have a question!”

The chairman stopped walking. The faculty members around them frowned and shouted.

“… That foolish child.”

“Hey, freshman! Who told you to ask random questions without asking permission? Didn’t you think the chairman came here to ask you questions?”

The student, embarrassed by the scolding of the faculty, did not know what to do.

It’s probably not that you asked the question on your own volition. I don’t know who made me do this, but it was a video.

“It is good to be curious. it’s okay. ask a question I will give you just two chances.”

Only then did the student look relieved.

“Sah, I know that there has never been a new class since the foundation of Salomon Academy. Is there a reason why you suddenly created a new class?”

In fact, it was a question that everyone here was curious about.

“Reason… . hmm… … . If I had to think about the reason, it would be because it would be fun.”

A completely unexpected answer.

“Jae, are you having fun?”

“yes. I thought it would be more fun doing it this way. For the first time in a long time, I have a curiosity.”

buzz buzz.

The students were agitated by the president’s answer.

“uh… . that, then… . As far as I know, the academy’s class assignment is done strictly in order of grades. That’s why I think most students, including me, probably aimed to be in Class A, the best class in name and reality. However, the introduction of a new class is confusing us. Can you clarify on this point exactly where the S-Class is?”

This time, everyone belonging to the S class pricked up their ears.

“As you said, our Salomon Academy is advocating a thorough meritocracy. From generation to generation, the A class was assigned to students with the best grades in the entrance exam. That fact remains unchanged. Students assigned to lower classes should try to go to A class.”

The faces of the class A students brightened. He was so elated that his shoulders were so high that he was about to pierce the ceiling.

There was a variable called the S class, but now, the chairman confirmed their position once again.

“The S class… . You can think of it as white paper. They will prove their worth in the future. Whether it will be the most excellent class or the most incompetent class is all in their hands.”

“Well, then, can you tell us what the criteria for selecting S-Class personnel is?”

“Two chances, he said. Guess it yourself if you’re curious.”

again. again.

After speaking, the chairman left the building. The students who had been paying attention started to open their mouths one by one, and in an instant, it became noisy.

“Confucius! also! We were right! Of course, wouldn’t Confucius belong to class A as the strongest?”

“ha ha ha! That’s natural, isn’t it? It was a question that did not need to be asked. You don’t even have to worry about the S-Class nerds. Why is that, Gongja? Your face is dark. What are you doing?”

Sadin’s followers roared with joy, but his expression was not very bright.

“… It’s nothing.”

The female students of Class B also started to discuss among themselves.

“Look, am I right? The S-class is just like a class with a bunch of oddballs. Is there anything wrong?”

“Ah, but there’s Frey from the Caligo family and Charlotte from the Meiji duchy… . And there’s that person too. Seil Sieghart, descendant of a legendary family of heroes!”

“Don’t have any illusions. They are also freshmen who are not much different from us anyway. What do you think is different about them? everything is the same Rumors are always going to be inflated? I already told you directly from the chairman’s mouth. Class A is the best class. If they are that talented, why were they assigned to the S class instead of the A class? That there’s a reason for everything. the reason is.”

“is it… ? I’m surprised To be honest, I think most of the kids belonging to Class S made a strong impression in the entrance exam. Could there be any other reason for putting them together like that? I think they will make a big difference in this school.”

“What is the change? It’s all fantasy, fantasy.”

Even after time passed, the enthusiasm of the students did not seem to go away easily.

It could be seen that the existence of the S-class aroused the curiosity of many people.

It would have been a natural reaction if only the idiots were gathered, since the second daughter of the Meiji family, the most prestigious in magic in the empire, and the eldest daughter of the swordsmanship family that produced sword masters belong to it.

“Next, there will be a congratulatory speech at the Zenon Caesar Student Council President.”

A man with a sculptural appearance climbed onto the podium.

“Hello juniors, how are you?”

Right after the chairman’s speech, he might be nervous, but there was no sign of that at all.

Rather, he overwhelms the crowd with his eyes full of confidence. The atmosphere, which had been overheated due to the heated discussion just before, subsided in an instant.

“My name is Zenon Caesar, the student council president. We warmly welcome you to Salomon Academy.”

You can feel the elegance and confidence in every word you say.

Nobleness as it is, not forcibly squeezed into acting. It wasn’t the kind of thing that could be imitated. A talent possessed only by those who have been chosen since birth.

A cross that symbolizes the bloodline of the imperial family.

The first prince of the empire, and the most influential figure as the next emperor.

He was the student council president, Zenon Caesar.

perfect look. noble lineage. excellent expectations. Combining martial arts.

As a person who can be said to be a model of beauty in all directions, he was a monster with a different meaning from Cheonakcheon.

‘He’s a character I created with him in mind in the first place… I can’t imagine how twisted he must have been.

The white tie he is wearing is an object that symbolizes his membership in the student council.

If the imperial family rules the empire, it could be said that the student council rules the academy.

A group that wields absolute power within the academy. The leader of that group was that first prince.

You can build a relationship with the imperial family just by entering, and your future is guaranteed even after graduation, so any academy student had no choice but to covet it regardless of grade or class.

If the academy was a guaranteed shortcut to success, the student council was a high pass.

“… I will end my congratulatory speech with this. Oh, if there are alumnus who are interested in the student council, you can ask Miss Carat, the secretary.”

After the congratulatory speech, the first prince walked down the podium with graceful steps. Applause poured in.

“Next, there will be a certificate awarding ceremony for Sadin Rundel, the senior freshman.”

I was on the verge of falling asleep when this boring entrance ceremony was over.

My biggest complaint was having to waste my precious time watching that bastard Sadin receive the award. Come to think of it, I don’t see Frey from before.

I think Charlotte and Eden were away before that… .

Did the tiger say that he would come if I spoke to him? It seemed that Frey could not be a nobleman either.

Frey, who was looking around to see who he was looking for, approached me. I guess I was the one looking for it.

“Zile. It’s a call from the chairman.”

“Are you the chairman?”

“Yes, we have already been there. I think it’s probably the last one.”

“Could you give me a hint of what you were talking about?”

“You will know when you go.”

I thought it was necessary to talk to the chairman anyway.

I also had a lot to say about this test. Above all, the biggest advantage was that I didn’t have to watch this boring entrance ceremony anymore.

“You can go over there.”

Looking in the direction Frey pointed, an instructor stood there.

I followed the instructor’s guidance and moved to the back of the building. Soon after, a small building appeared.

As I followed the instructor inside, I saw a large crystal ball.

‘Oh, is it a transfer device?’

“Touch, raise mana.”

When he touched the crystal and raised mana, his eyes brightened and the place changed in an instant. A large door appears in front of you.

I knocked on the door.

“This is Seil Sieghart. May I come in?”

“Come on in.”

When I opened the door and went in, the chairman was resting his chin on the desk, looking at me.

I belatedly came to my senses after staring at her intelligent appearance, mesmerized. I will be talking a lot from now on, but it would be difficult if I lost my pace already.

“Sit.”

“thank you.”

I sat down on the chair across from me.

“Would you like a cup of tea?”

“If you give me, I will not decline.”

When the chairman beckoned, a kettle floating in the air poured water into a teacup placed in front of me.

“Please eat.”

The heat hadn’t cooled down yet, so the steam was blooming. As the warm liquid passed down my esophagus, my mind felt much calmer.

“It is delicious.”

“thank god. The tea was poisoned to tell the truth.”

“yes?”

“It’s a joke.”
