Surviving as an Academy Black Magician

she asked with a forced smile. He seemed quite perplexed.

“Zile ball. All of a sudden, what do you mean by that?”

“Fray Caligo, the next head of the Caligo Count family, known abroad, is a 17-year-old young man. Is that correct?”

“That’s right.”

“But the Frey Young in front of me… Aren’t you supposed to be a man? If so, we can make two assumptions. Either you’re not Frey Caligo or… .”

Her face grew colder and colder.

“The known Frey Caligo was actually a woman. That is.”

She looked at me without speaking. Platinum hair and soft appearance.

The first impression was that it was cute enough to remind me of a golden retriever wagging its tail.

However, when I faced the golden eyes shining brightly, I felt as if another person was in front of me.

“… … .”

to live.

Perhaps this is closer to her true self.

“… Why do you think I am a woman?”

infinitely cold speech. I didn’t have the power of mind reading, but at least I seemed to know what she was thinking right now.

“Should I kill you?”

She is worried about murder and extinction just by knowing her identity.

It is simply hesitating because it is unclear whether or not he can deal with me as he is now.

If I hadn’t had the background of the Sieghard family, she might actually have put her thoughts into practice.

Looking at the empty pupils, it was as if I was being sucked into an abyss. She had as much darkness as she had great talent.

father’s revenge. family heir. illegitimate children, etc.

If you can’t overcome the darkness that eats you up… . It would meet a tragic fate.

“Did you hear that it is the jewel of the Sieghart family?”

Golden eyes peered into mine. She muttered like a child who discovered something new.

“This is the jewel… . It looks like amethyst… .”

“That’s right. We, the Sieghart family, are born with special eyes like this.”

“What do you mean?”

He pointed his finger at my eyes and said.

“… A pupil for interpreting the dragons’ spells. That means you can see some kind of magic formula. That’s why I found out that Prince Frey has an artifact that can impede recognition and change his appearance. It’s because I can see the real face of Confucius, no, Gongnyeo.”

It was a face I hadn’t thought of. It is natural.

I didn’t even have that kind of eye color, and everything I said now was just a set-up game that I was talking about randomly.

“… I guess it was because of those eyes. However, there is a strange part. In case something like this happens, I originally dressed as a man, so how did Lord Zeil guess that I was a woman?”

“If you look closely, you can see the difference. Men and women are physically the curves… . the line… .”

As she spoke shyly, her face immediately turned red as if she finally understood.

Looking at it like this, she was an innocent girl. she said with a sigh.

“ha… . Confucius seems to have a very good eye. With the evidence so far, I don’t think it’s possible to cheat any more. you’re right. As you said, I am a woman. First time. The fact that I revealed with my mouth that I am a woman. For what purpose did Gile tell me these things? money? honor? Or my… .”

“You seem to have a big misunderstanding, but I didn’t bring this up for any purpose.”

She narrowed her brows suspiciously.

“No purpose? Do you really want to reveal my secret?”

“yes. You seem hard to believe… . If I had to add a reason, it would be a warning.”

“Warning?”

“That’s right. It means be careful. People with special eyes like me cannot completely hide their identities even with the artifacts possessed by the Princess. Of course, cases like mine are so rare that it’s hard to find them, but isn’t it something you don’t know about? You don’t want the secret that even the princess is hiding from spreading any further, so I recommend going to an enhancement magician to enhance the artifact. Oh sure, don’t worry. The secret of the princess will not be revealed anywhere. If you don’t believe me, I promise you.”

“… … Why are you doing me this kind of favor when you see me for the first time?”

“It’s my personal wish, but I want to become friends with the princess.”

Hearing this, Frey blinked in surprise, then slowly blushed.

He grew up as a boy wielding only a sword his entire life, so immunity to this kind of side seemed surprisingly low.

“Me, me, me, me… ?”

I smiled softly and nodded.

“yes. I had long heard of the fame of my father, Lord Halton and Count Frey, so I wanted to see him at least once. Of course, I never dreamed that the heir would be such a beautiful woman.”

Frey looked around quickly and gave a small shout.

“Ah, beautiful… . Big hum. Because it’s a secret! Erase it! in your head! You can’t even take it out of your mouth!”

“hahahaha. I was kidding too much. I promise you.”

Then, along with the footsteps of someone approaching, a sarcastic voice was heard.

“This, someone said this, isn’t it Frey Caligo, the spirit formula of the ‘former Sword Master’ Sir Halton?”

Frey’s face hardened.

“… … Prince Sadin.”

I raised my head and looked at the man in front of me.

The slanted eyes and the high nose bridge. A face full of confidence. Shiny gray hair.

As soon as I saw it, a woman came to mind.

Teresa Rundel, a member of the same warrior party as me and the leader of the Imperial Knights.

‘Teresa Rundel’s younger brother, Sardin Rundel? .’

Duke of Rundel.

It was a legendary military family called the best knight family in the empire along with Count Frey in name and reality, but now, it reigned as an unrivaled family.

Lundel was the heir to that family, that is, the next head of the family.

he said with a smile.

“Frey! It seems that you too are entering Salomon Academy.”

“That’s right.”

“Is Lord Halton all right?”

“… it’s okay.”

“That’s good. I heard that the injuries sustained in the confrontation with my father are quite serious. However, couldn’t it be helped? In all cases, wounds obtained in sparring between knights are medals.”

Frey lowered her head and pursed her lips. Looking closely, her hands were shaking slightly.

“… That’s right.”

His gaze turned to me this time. His mean eyes flashed with greed and selfishness.

“Oh, are you Seil Sieghart, a descendant of that famous family of heroes?”

“That’s right.”

A glance that seems to scan for evaluation.

“It has been quite noisy since the front door. Seeing that your words reach my ears.”

“It’s just a bunch of big talkers making a fuss.”

“That seems like a very harsh punishment, right? If the ghosts of the past don’t even know what I’m talking about, they’ll use it.”

“… … .”

“Why is this body’s words wrong? It must have been nice to have all the people around me honoring me as a heroic family. But in the end, aren’t all of those things inflated nonsense? It is obvious that in the process of being handed down, flesh was arbitrarily added to leave a name in history. A human can catch a dragon single-handedly? Even if that were true, how could a family with such strong military power fall?”

I know very well that I came here to openly quarrel with you.

Even though he has excellent talents to the point of being called a genius since childhood, he must also know that he is nothing more than an immature kid… … .

why… . Why are you so angry?

“What are those eyes? You have pride for your family, right?”

For what reason? Because of an obvious provocation? no. That wasn’t the only reason why my stomach was boiling so much.

“… How can the heir to the empire’s strongest knight family make fun of his mouth so carelessly?”

Veins bristled on Sardine’s forehead. He, who is more authoritative than anyone else, will never be able to pass over my remarks.

“What did you just say?”

that… .

“How could you tease me so carelessly? Are you ashamed to hear these words from the heir of the fallen count? This is the academy. It is a place where everyone, whether commoners or nobles, is given an equal position and is educated according to their skills.”

It was homophobia.

I was seeing ‘me’ in him. In the past, he was stricken with an inferiority complex, resenting the world, and blaming others for everything.

A terrible mass of envy and jealousy.

It reminded me of a terrible self who denied the efforts of successful people and blamed everything on the world.

Sardin laughed blatantly.

“It’s a skill… . yes. As you said, Salomon Academy is a place where everything is judged solely on merit. Yes, if you are so confident in your skills, why don’t you name me as your opponent for the second test?”

I felt relieved after knowing the source of my anger. At the time, I was terrified even thinking about it.

Even if he embodied ugliness as a human being, he was a disgusting human being to the point of believing. But I will change

overcome and move on. Accept your shortcomings and grow.

I nodded.

“great.”

It was Frey who was more surprised than I was. She called me with a puzzled face.

“Zile ball! think again… .”

I said emphatically.

“it’s okay.”

Seeing this, Sardine’s mouth went up.

“It’s good confidence. Surely it won’t fall before you even get the right to point it, right?”

“You can look forward to it.”

“Don’t wait.”

As he left, Frey looked worried.

“Zile ball. No matter how much you inherit Sieghart’s blood… It will be impossible to defeat Prince Sadin.”

Having already lost a match against him once, she is saying this because she knows how strong he is.

Sadin Lundell was a person who was evaluated as having a natural talent in martial arts, a skill bestowed by heaven from an early age.

A gemstone with the best talent when it comes to handling a sword.

However, it was still an unworked gemstone.

“… it’s okay.”

Just in time, my number was called.

“Exam number 444. No. 521. from now on.”

“yes.”

The theme of the second exam is Dalian.

It is a simple rule that requires you to win through sparring with a randomly called opponent.

With each victory, you can decide whether to keep fighting or give up at this point.

However, it was a system in which all the points gained so far were lost if the opponent defeated the opponent rather than stopping the winning streak by one’s own will.

If there is one unusual thing, if you win more than 3 consecutive wins, you will be qualified to point out the opponent you want.

The person who has been nominated can decide whether to accept or reject it, and if he refuses, he will not be able to receive any more nominations.

I went up to the arena. A rectangular space of about 100 pyeong.

“Choose the weapon you want.”

There were various weapons such as great swords, medium swords, three swords, swords, spears, staffs, and rods.

Of course, since it was made for sparring, the lethality was extremely reduced, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous. However, I didn’t need a weapon.

“I’ll just do it like this.”

“Are you okay?”

“it’s okay.”

It was because there was no weapon that could handle it in the first place. However, regardless of my intentions, the opponent trembled as if it was very shameful.

Looking at her glowing eyes, she seemed to think that maybe I was ignoring her.

I heard whispers all around me.

“You say you fight without a weapon? Isn’t that ignoring the opponent too much?”

“At first glance, it may be, but in fact it is not. The symbols of the Sieghart family are not only dragon slayers and jewel eyes. That superhuman physical ability. Weapons would be rather inconvenient for him, who has innate strength and body. You won’t be able to withstand your own strength.”

“ah… . also… . The clans of heroes are different… . amazing. But how do you know all that?”

“Oh, my grandmother was a big fan of the Sieghard clan.”

The misunderstanding grew out of control, but there was no turning back. The instructor in charge of refereeing said.

“If judged to be out of bounds, abstaining, or unable to act, defeat is recognized. Also, if it is judged that there is an intention to kill the opponent, the test qualification will be disqualified immediately.”

The woman and I answered at the same time. Her weapon of choice was a spear.

“yes!”

“good night. Conduct the match!”

―As soon as I finished speaking, I stretched out my fist.

bang-!

A blast sounded through the air and the opponent flew out of the arena.

“——!”

Silence passed. Everyone was staring blankly at me. Embarrassed, I scratched my head.

From noble mtl dot com

‘This is harder to control than I thought… .’

The instructor, who belatedly grasped the situation, exclaimed urgently.

“… Examination number 444, victory!”
