The Villain Changed the Ending

015 Magic Bomb and Leech

*****[Oscar, the main character]*****

As soon as I entered the room where I usually studied, something like a huge balloon blocked my way.

“Oscar! How did you do it! No, how did it happen? What the hell happened to such a great thing?”

It was teacher Sven.

It must have been waiting inside the door until I came.

Sven’s fat body came close to me.

When their bodies get closer, the first thing they touch is Sven’s stomach.

I hit my face against Sven’s stomach and was thrown backwards.

The butler quickly supported me and gently pushed Sven.

“Oh! Me, I’m sorry. Are you okay, Oscar?”

Sven stepped back in surprise.

The butler said in a stern voice.

“Sven-san, please be careful. What if you accidentally get hurt? And Oscar-sama is now the head of the Duke of Weiss. Please be careful with your titles from now on.”

“Moore!”

Sven’s startled voice spread throughout the room.

“What happened in that short amount of time! The head of the family? The head of the family? This little Oscar, no, Mr. Oscar is the head of the head? I am the head of the head? Oh! This is what happened! The head of the duke’s head, this is me!”

However, compared to his surprise, his interest quickly shifted to the next thing.

“But how did that great magic come about? What were the conditions! How did it come about? Oscar-sama! We are now standing in front of an amazing discovery that may change the world.”

Sven’s eyes sparkled.

“Did you think about it! You can kill people just by emitting mana. Do you know how great that power is?”

Now Sven seems to have entered a world of his own.

He muttered while looking into the void with dreamy eyes.

“If we gather just a few talented people like Oscar-sama, there’s no need for knights or troops. Oh, my God… A great… A great soldier will be born. No one will be able to stop us. You and… Oscar. and I will stand on top of the world.”

It seems that Sven is drawing the future in his head.

“…everyone who stands in front of us will fall. The vast land is full… corpses… my God… no one stands in our way… everyone will look up to us.”

No, that’s because, no matter how you hear it, it’s considered treason. If this guy does something wrong, he’ll be in big trouble.

‘I feel like I’ll be executed as a traitor without any particular ability or intention to rebel.’

The butler standing behind him seemed to think so too.

He must have already known that no one was around here, but he looked out the door again.

“Mr. Sven.”

I called for Sven to stop imagining any more, and he looked at me with a still dreamy expression on his face.

“You can’t do anything more than a mage who just kills a few people nearby with her magic. Wars in this world aren’t that easy.”

“but.”

“teacher.”

Blocking Sven from speaking, I continued.

“Even if you can defeat all enemies that come your way, simply kill them and leave nothing behind. In this world, it is possible to isolate someone politically and let them self-destruct without a sword being shielded. With secret power, Just because you have it doesn’t mean you’re omnipotent.”

If you unnecessarily develop such an imagination and tell someone, the harm will reach the duke’s family.

If you intend to keep this person with you, you will have to nip your strange imagination in the first place.

Even if Sven himself has no intention of treason, in the eyes of others as long as he is attached to a powerful ducal family…

‘Oh, damn it. ‘

If this is just one step off, is it death angle?

Like in the novel, it might be a high-tech course where I go to the scaffold for treason.

I took Sven’s hand and led him to the center of the room.

“Are you Oscar?”

Sven calls me strangely.

I sat Sven down on the sofa and sat next to him.

They were still holding hands.

After holding Sven’s hand tightly, I looked up at his face.

This man is simple.

More of a child than an aristocrat, whose only intention is to become famous and pay back what he was ignored.

This man should not be put into aristocratic society.

If that happens, I think it will create strange troubles in various directions.

Disclosure of research is prohibited by contract, but I don’t know when I’ll forget even that and brag about it to people.

‘then….’

From nob le mt l dot com

Just keep it away from nobles and other people.

If you give him an attractive assignment in a place where people don’t come and go, Sven will quietly concentrate on his research.

I decided to push Sven on an assignment I had been thinking about for a while.

“I want to make a request to the teacher.”

“Request? Oscar-sama to me?”

“Yes. Sensei’s research is currently focused on transferring mana from person to person, right?”

“That’s right.”

Sven’s eyes sparkled.

When the story of his research comes out, he is very happy.

Probably because there is no one to share these topics with.

“That’s very meaningful. Nobody knows about the fundamental power of magic. They think it’s just a blessing from the gods or a peculiar human being born at random. But, like our limbs, it’s a power that actually resides in the body. I want to prove that. If you can transmit magic to others, if you know that all magicians have magic in their bodies!”

Sven trembled as if he were intoxicated by his words.

I spoke quickly when he paused.

If I’m wrong, I have no time to speak.

“Sensei, if magical power is a power that actually exists in a person’s body, wouldn’t it be possible to put it into an object?”

“uh…?”

Sven looked at me blankly.

“I think the problem of transmitting mana to people is difficult to prove. Some people can easily move mana, but some people can’t learn it even after years. Besides, it’s something that makes other people understand what is invisible. It’s kind of difficult.”

“…”

“But if you can put magical power into an object, it’s easy to prove. If you see it, people will have no choice but to believe it.”

“what….”

Sven, who had been pondering my words alone for a while, suddenly raised his head.

There is a saying that the light in the eyes is visible, but come to this world and see phenomena that you have not seen on earth.

It was as if magic was pouring out of Sven’s eyes.

“Oscar! You are a genius! My God! Transferring mana from a person’s body to an object. I never thought of it. I saw a new light!”

Before I knew it, Oscar-sama had changed back to Oscar.

But the excited Sven doesn’t seem to know that either.

Suddenly, he hugged me.

“Thank you, Oscar! You are the light of my soul.”

“Ugh!”

pain.

A soft belly squeezed and pressed against my face and entire body.

I can’t breathe.

If the butler hadn’t taken me away from Sven quickly, I would have died of suffocation.

I coughed a little and looked at Sven.

“Oh, Oscar. Are you okay? I’m so excited. You’re not hurt?”

“It’s okay. About the request I just made, but you know that this is a secret, right? All of your research belongs to a secret.”

“… I know.”

I think I got depressed because I thought I couldn’t brag about it.

I held Sven’s hand and looked up at his face.

“Sir, the research itself is a secret, but even the results are not a secret. If a proper result comes out in the research process, it will be presented to the world from the position of the duke. Of course, the developer properly informs that he is a teacher.”

“Ohhhhh! Is it real?”

Sven’s eyes started to flash again.

Sven’s research has already become my possession.

Even if I intercept the results, I have nothing to say.

“Of course, sir. And we will provide research labs and research funds.”

“ooo!”

Sven’s screams echoed through the room again.

I don’t know how many times I plan on repeating this reaction.

Sven didn’t seem to be able to calm his mind just by screaming.

I jumped up as if I couldn’t control my joy.

“A lab? A lab for me?”

Shouting like thunder, Sven lowered himself again with the force of breaking the sofa.

The snort hits the face violently.

Sven repeated the word laboratory several times, then attacked me with his arms wide open.

Hold it tight and rock it against your stomach.

“Oscar! A lab! And research funds! Ohh… My lifelong dream has come true. From now on, I can focus on research only. My God! I have a lab!”

In Sven’s position, who has to work as a tutor to make a living, it seems that receiving the support of a nobleman was a dream.

Sven is so excited that my little body is about to collapse in his arms.

When the butler forcibly removed him, Sven looked at me with a teary face.

In fact, there was a little bit of water in the eyes.

“… such a kind… Oscar. You have really noble thoughts. Most of the great nobles feel no guilt in taking the researcher’s achievements as their own. You are really kind… a very lovely disciple. no see.”

Sven sniffed and looked at me with a serious face.

“Thank you, Oscar. I’ll never have a happier day like this. I’m just so happy to hear you say it.”

It was a suggestion made not for Sven, but for me.

But when I hear these words, I feel guilty.

I continued with a slight drop in my gaze.

“And… I have no intention of interfering with your research, but I have a request. I would like to develop it in a way that can spread fire, water, and wind in all directions when mana is put into an object.”

In a word, it is a magic bomb.

If that was possible in this era, it would be a considerable force.

“What!”

Sven’s voice rose again.

“That’s it!”

Sven widened his eyes in amazement.

Did you know that something that kills people?

“Awesome idea! Oscar! If such a thing were possible, my development would cause real controversy and interest! Yes, it would. It would look great in anyone’s eyes. No one could ignore it. It’s something everyone would covet. It will be.”

I’m not sure if I knew it was a lethal object, or if I was unaware and just delighted in the reaction it would bring.

But I think I have enough heart to develop.

The butler quickly stopped Sven from trying to hug me again.

“But if it’s a vessel that can contain magic… That’s a problem. Even if you transmit magic, it has to be able to withstand it, and then spread it around again… It’s difficult. It’s a very difficult problem.”

Sven seems to have completely shifted his attention to that.

I mumbled something and started thinking hard.

But there were still important things to do.

I tapped Sven’s hand to get his attention.

“Sir. I have another request. I want to borrow a little of your magic.”

Now it’s time to take out the ring.

In fact, considering my situation, this is more urgent now.

Sven’s eyes brightened like a child, as if he was having fun.

“Oscar. What are you trying to surprise me with this time?

As Sven kept forgetting the word ‘nim’, the butler’s eyebrows furrowed.

I winked at the butler and looked at Sven.

“Teacher said you have water magic, right?”

“is it so.”

“Like last time, pass some magic into my hand.”

“Okay. But please also explain to me what you’re going to do this time. I’d like to hear about the mana runaway from last time. Uh-huh. Truly, being with you makes me happy.”

Sven took my hand and began to slowly transmit magic with his palm.

Last time it ended with him imparting magic to me.

But not this time.

What I’m trying to do is something similar to an enema.

The purpose was to pull the mana of others into my body, spin it once, and sense the ring with that power and push it away.

The other person’s magical power becomes the enema.

Well, I don’t know if it’ll really work.

Feeling Sven’s magical power, I began to pull it little by little from my side as well.

But it doesn’t work out.

Pulling someone else’s magic is harder to grasp than moving one’s own.

However, it seems that Sven feels something.

He looked at my hand thoughtfully, then tilted his head.

“Huh? Oscar. What are you doing?”

“They’re trying to suck the teacher’s mana. Can you feel something?”

“… really… you amaze me.”

I muttered as if I was spilling words, and Sven covered my hand with his other hand.

“Something tickles me. My skin tickles. Maybe what you’re doing is working. Just a little more…”

As Sven said that, he slowly pushed magic into my hand.

However, he still couldn’t catch Sven’s magic.

His mana apparently transferred to my hand and made me feel the heat, but it didn’t flow to any other part of my body.

It’s like the heat of a hand warmer.

The part you are touching gets warm, but the heat doesn’t circulate all over your body.

Just as a hand warmer returns to its original state when it cools down, Sven’s magic only stayed in my hand for a while.

How can I draw this magical power into me?

While thinking about it, Sven muttered.

“Interesting. I’ve seen leeches in the past while traveling in other countries. I don’t know Oscar, but they’re really strange creatures. They stick to people’s skin and suck blood all the time. It just feels like they’re attached.”

be a leech

Of course I know.

‘If magic is affected by emotions…’

From nob le mt l dot com

Just like when he thought of his ex-wife, his mana ran out of control, and if he imagined something, he might be affected by it as well.

If you’re already pulling mana like a leech, it should work.

‘good. Let’s try it.’

Refer to what you have learned on Earth and imagine the inside of your body.

If you imagine that numerous leeches are swimming there based on hemoglobin floating in cave-like blood vessels, the scene unfolds surprisingly realistically.

I stared at Sven’s hand.

I imagine the skin where my palm and Sven’s hand touch, the leech sticking to the blood vessel and sucking something in it.

That was the moment.

Suddenly, the magical power that had been staying in Sven’s hand was sucked into his wrist.

Could it be because Sven has water magic?

It felt like cold tap water had been poured into my body.
