Surviving as an Academy Black Magician

“He is a genius.”

ah… . You are a genius… . is this the end?

“Are there any more… ?”

Frey smiled mischievously.

“hahahaha. Geil tends to show his emotions quickly. I did not say that Professor Johan Cruyff was a genius for nothing.”

Whenever she shows a serious attitude, I feel that I am giving her trust.

But on the other hand, I worry about how she will react when she finds out that I am a black magician.

‘… Can I convince her?’

Having lived her entire life as a citizen of the Empire, she can’t help but hate the black magician.

From their point of view, black magicians were a pagan group that worshiped demons.

Religion was like life to them, who served the 12 gods, led by the Goddess Raphael. No, maybe it was more than that.

“Is there anything special about it?”

“Unrivaled genius. It is said that he was an outstanding student who stood out even in this academy where all kinds of geniuses gathered.”

“Was Professor John a student at our school?”

Frey nodded.

From noble mtl dot com

“yes. You are a graduate. I heard that you were in the same class as Charlotte’s older sister, Lynn Meiji.”

“Lynn Meiji? You mean the Rin Mage of that hero’s party?”

When I heard the name of Rin Meiji, my voice rose involuntarily. Surprised, Frey said with a puzzled face.

“yes. you’re right… . Is there any problem?”

“no. Did you say that the two of you were close?”

This was unexpected information. Could it be that Johan Cruyff was in the same room as that damn b*tch… .

It was terrifying to imagine the two of them in the same class.

Frey shook her head.

“… It is said that it was a rumored enmity. They said that from freshman year to graduation, they fought every time they made eye contact. It’s not certain, but according to rumors, Lin Mage-sama always got angry one-sidedly, and Professor Yohan responded with constant disregard for what he sees now.”

“Why is Lynn Meiji obsessed with the professor so much?”

“This is also a baby that is not certain, so you can think that there will be some exaggeration mixed in, and you can filter it yourself. Meiji Lynn graduated at the top of class A, and the professor said she had the worst grades in class A.”

“Then why… . ah… !”

“As you may have already guessed, Meiji Lin seems to think that Professor Yohan intentionally failed the exam. so that… .”

Just when I was just about to have fun.

A teaching assistant called us.

“Gayle-kun. Mr. Frey. Today’s class is over, so everyone is told to go back to the dormitory.”

“All right.”

I stood up from my seat with a sad face and said.

“Frey. Please tell me more about the story later.”

“yes!”

* * *

We headed to the dormitory under the guidance of the teaching assistant.

While walking down the street, I made eye contact with Charlotte a few times, but unlike usual, she seemed to blatantly avoid my gaze.

I speculated that perhaps the person himself was defeated horribly by Sylph, and that I, whom I usually ignored so much, smashed him, so the sense of shame was coming.

It made me feel a bit sad, but to be honest, Charlotte needed to lessen her arrogance.

‘Grow with this opportunity. men and horses.’

I even made eye contact with Sylph a few times, and he freaked out when I tried to get even a little closer and said ‘Hee! Do not come! monster!’ shouted.

Never disrespect human beings again. pointy ears.

The desire to say this rose to the top of his throat, but he barely held it in for his mentality.

“This is it.”

The dormitory was located not far from the building where I was taking lectures.

At first glance, it was a poor environment. It was so miserable that it could not be compared with the classroom building.

It was a three-story building made of wood, and the unidentified plants growing here and there and the old sign board that seemed to be about to crumble soon created a sense of drearyness.

The back of the building appeared to be a huge forest with dense trees. At the entrance, there was a signpost saying ‘no entry’ and wooden fences lined up.

To be honest, the inn I stayed at before coming to the academy looked many times better.

‘Isn’t this bad enough? Looks like a ghost… .’

Well, even if a ghost came out, it would be fine if I made it my familiar.

“I’ll just go.”

The teaching assistant, who had been observing our reaction with a keen eye, quickly disappeared.

I looked around and everyone was making desperate faces.

Not to mention Frey and Charlotte, and even the reticent Arya frowned.

At least it was Eden and Sylph who responded positively. Even if it was Eden, I thought Sylph’s reaction was quite unexpected.

“It’s a nice place surrounded by forest on all sides.”

I belatedly remembered that he was an elf. Eden, who had been watching for some reason, spoke cautiously.

“… Shall we go in now?”

The moment you grab the doorknob.

A doorknob falling powerlessly.

three.

this.

Day.

“aaa!!! I hate it!! I hate it!!! Why do I, the second daughter of the Meiji family, have to live in such a garbage place!! Smelly, wet, old, dusty and I hate them all! I hate it!!”

As expected, without breaking expectations, Charlotte started going crazy. understanding goes.

Having lived her whole life as the second daughter of a duke, it would be difficult for her to adapt to this environment.

However, what can I do? that it is her destiny

People have to suffer and do that. usually.

“Shah, Charlotte. I understand that feeling, but… . Can’t you do anything about it now? The chairman said he would repair it, so let’s just hold on until then.”

“Oh, that’s right! Charlotte. Besides, didn’t you say that we would generously support you if we could prove your grades? We are going to build a magnificent palace here! How is it?”

The sylph glanced at me, but when our eyes met, she hurriedly stopped talking.

“joy! This is why humans… . Huh!”

Charlotte’s hair floated in the air. Mana assimilated into her emotions is rampaging.

“I’m fed up with everything now. Why should I be treated like this! why! He said everything would be alright if he entered the academy! But what is this, what is this!!!”

“Hey! Shah, Charlotte, calm down! Everything around here is forest!”

“ha… . charlotte! please stop!”

“… … .”

The building was good, and I wanted to quickly collapse and rest in the aftermath of the preceding Dalian.

However, it was clear that Charlotte would have another accident at this rate.

Her magical talent is obviously excellent, but her experience and mental strength are overwhelmingly lacking. To put it mildly, it was like a 7-year-old holding a gun.

I walked up to Charlotte and grabbed her wrist. She turned her head and widened her eyes, then found me and softened her expression.

“who! Hands on my body without permission… … .”

“charlotte. Calm down. If you run rampant like this and set this place on fire, you will be expelled, let alone Class A.”

“… … Let go.”

After a while.

Her head sank slowly.

“It hurts, so let go of this… .”

I let go of my hand without a word.

Then Charlotte sat down on the floor and buried her face in her lap. Then intermittent sobs were heard.

‘There is no child.’

A sigh came out.

When I thought of the school life that would unfold in the future, my bones hurt. That’s a total mess.

At that moment, the door to the dormitory building slammed open.

“What are you doing not coming in?”

The person who opened the door was none other than Bella Trey, who was the general supervisor of the entrance exam.

why is she here

“General Overseer… ?”

“Don’t be fooled and come in.”

After speaking, she disappeared inside. Arya was the first to enter.

Sylph followed me, and Eden and Frey followed after Charlotte.

After passing through an old corridor with squeaking noises, the living room appeared.

It was a fairly large space compared to the exterior. At the table sat Bella Tray, who had smoked tobacco.

She blew out a cigarette and looked at us.

“Sit down first.”

We sat at the table without speaking.

After taking one last sip, she rubbed her cigarette in the glass ashtray, and the light went out with a sound.

“Everyone knows who I am, but I will introduce myself one more time. I’m Bella Trey, and I’m going to be the housekeeper of this dormitory from today. I will now explain the dormitory rules. First, don’t be noisy. I just hate being noisy. Second, if you’re going to commit an obscene act, don’t get caught. The moment you get caught, regardless of gender, you will experience hell. Third, except for special occasions, everyone eats breakfast together. I do the food. Don’t complain about the taste. Fourth, if there is a dispute, it is resolved through sparring. Finally, if you enter the housekeeper’s room without permission, you will die. Over, questions.”

Silence passed.

“… … .”

There were many things I wanted to say, but I couldn’t figure out what to start with. How did a person who used to be a general supervisor end up in charge of a dormitory supervisor?

The first to raise his hand was an unexpected person.

“I will ask you a question.”

“name.”

“This is Aria Valentine.”

“Tell me.”

“Is it necessary to eat breakfast together? ?”

“Yes. All dormitory students must attend without exception. If there are unavoidable circumstances, report to me the day before.”

Arya closed her mouth with a disapproving face.

“… … yes.”

Bella Trey took a cigarette from her bosom, put it in her mouth, and lit it with her fingers.

Thick cigarette smoke came out of her mouth with the sound of burning tobacco leaves. Her gaze turned to Charlotte.

“Don’t mess around there. As I said beforehand, I hate crying the most. Whether you are a duke’s daughter, an emperor’s daughter, or a god’s daughter, you are all students here. So if you have any complaints, prove your skills, or if not, get out of here.”

Charlotte glared at her with puffy eyes. I’m sorry, but I don’t have anything to say.

“… … .”

“answer.”

“… … yes.”

“Next question.”

It was Frey who raised his hand this time.

“Could you ask the headmaster to learn something in your free time?”

“… If there’s nothing special, I’ll take care of it.”

“thank you!”

It was a playdown question. This time I raised my hand.

“This is Seil Sieghart.”

“Tell me.”

“Why did the person who held the position of general supervisor take the position of dormitory supervisor?”

“It is a punishment for negligence in management.”

After hearing that, I realized why she had come here.

Suddenly, she got up from her seat and looked at us, bowing her head.

“I feel late, but I want to apologize even now. sorry. As the person in charge of managing the exam, such an unfortunate incident should have been prevented. It’s entirely my fault. No matter how long it takes, we will definitely find out the truth, so I will apologize once again.”

They all had puzzled faces. Well, I couldn’t help but be surprised to find that the person who had told Charlotte not to procrastinate just now suddenly lowered her head and apologized.

Besides, she may be a mere dormitory supervisor now, but she was a professor at this academy.

It was by no means an easy thing for a person of the level of a professor to lose face and bow his head in apology when he was already being disciplined.

“… Oh, that’s fine. Fortunately, everyone is fine.”

she sat down again.

“Thank you for saying that. Any other students with questions?”

When no one answered, she continued.

“Then, I will start assigning rooms from now on. Unfortunately, there are only six rooms in this dorm. One is the room I use. So, the two of them have to share the same room. I will give those two the largest of the remaining rooms.”

So, dorm rooms are chosen by drawing lots?

“The method will be a fair draw. Now, there is a note in this box. The two people who draw the circled note from among them will occupy the same room. Of course, if a woman and a man are caught, the lottery proceeds again.”

Imagining that I would be sharing a room with this guy already made my head hurt.

‘That alone must be avoided!’

No one showed particular dissatisfaction, whether it was because they didn’t have the strength to argue, or if they gave up altogether. He probably realized that no matter what he said, nothing would change.

Bella Trey handed over the box.

Starting with Frey, each person took a note in turn. The last one to be chosen was me.

‘What is this, why are you so nervous?’

I grabbed my pounding chest and slowly opened the note.

O.

“ah.”

“ah.”

Someone spoke at the same time as me. Perhaps he was also the one who pulled out the circled note.

no way… … .

“Raise your hand who pulled out the note with the circle on it.”

I raised my hand.

“Seil Sieghart.”

Frey, with a bewildered face, slowly raised her hand.

“Fray Caligo. That’s right. Since they are both boys, there is no need to draw lots again. Everyone will be very tired, so go to your room and rest for today.”

As Bella Trey tried to get up, Charlotte shouted urgently, holding her hand. It was a voice that even felt desperate.

“Oh, no!!! Absolutely not as much as that!!!”
