episode_0039

After the meal, the afternoon lecture was for summoning magic. In fact, it was similar to the assignment the professor gave us last time. He gave us the question of how to obey a familiar that appeared in front of us, but in fact, the answer was simple. All I had to do was win.

Of course, I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but unlike last time, I felt strangely confident this time. The professor said that there aren’t many wizards who know how to use familiars from the first class, and that there will be many who will know how to use familiars from the second class, so I just waited for the professor’s words.

And like the previous class, the professor moved us somewhere, and when I came to, I was standing in front of a snowy mountain.

As I walked carefully in the endless snowstorm, the silver-furred wolf that appeared was no different from before. When I looked at that amazingly beautiful wolf, I naturally swallowed my saliva. The staff held in my right hand, the eyes of a wolf looking at me.

Naturally, there was no conversation, so the moment I made eye contact, the predatory eyes directed at me made my whole body tremble. But it was also difficult to find whether it was fear or the excitement of being able to fight the opponent.

I opened my mouth as the sound of a wolf howling reached my ears.

“Mana, protect my body.”

As soon as I cast the spell, a protective shield surrounds my body, and at the same time, I point my wand at the wolf and shout out the spell.

“Ice, gather around me.”

As the spell continued, cold began to surround the body. The snowy mountain was already full of cold. If I could use this cold, there would be no problem, but it was still difficult, so I just held my staff carefully, aiming at the wolf, and the wolf started running towards me.

I slowly stared at the wolf running quickly towards me. Shock magic would do damage, but it wouldn’t do much damage. That’s why I aimed for the wolf’s head and shouted a spell.

“Ice, pierce the enemy.”

At the same time as my spell, the quickly gathered mana absorbed the surrounding cold and turned into an arrow, which flew towards the wolf’s head. I then gathered the cold surrounding the body with my staff into my left hand and struck the ground with my hand.

“Ice, rise up.”

When I uttered the spell, the cold energy gathered in my left hand absorbed the surrounding cold and turned into thorns that moved towards the wolf. I stood up, aimed the staff in my right hand at the wolf, and shouted.

“Ice, crush the enemy before me.”

And the three magics that followed at the same time as my spell moved quickly towards the wolf, and the wolf was running towards me, but after shrinking for a moment from the magic aimed at it, it stopped and turned to avoid the magic. At that sight, I once again I uttered a magic spell.

“Ice, pierce the enemy!”

The ice arrow quickly flew towards the wolf and pierced its side, and I slowly exhaled and looked at the wolf.

The red blood falling on the pure white snow field left a light scent of blood on the tip of my nose, showing that this wolf’s blood was also red. Perhaps because I had allowed the attack, the wolf’s eyes became sharper, so I carefully held the staff in my hand and opened my mouth towards the wolf.

“If you ask me to fight more, I plan to fight more. If I do something wrong, you might die, but I want to be friends with you, so I’d like to stop now.”

But I didn’t think the wolf would understand me. If you think about it, Isabelle talks to a cat named Jeremy. How on earth does she do that? Among the magic of your seniors, is there even a magic that allows you to talk to animals? Well, beings called druids said that such a thing was possible.

The wolf was still pointing its claws at me, and I aimed my wand at the wolf. The requirement was to suppress, not kill, which was more difficult than expected. If they were trying to kill it, they would have already pierced its body with ice arrows, but since I had to subdue it, I wondered how far it would be allowed to go, and even if it did kill me, I wondered if something would happen, so with a sigh, I clenched my right hand into a fist and hit my thigh hard.

Then my eyes turned black.

As I came to my senses in the classroom, the students around me began to come to their senses one by one. A few students had familiars around them, as if their contracts with their familiars had ended, and I quietly looked at the professor.

“Many students succeeded in contracting with a familiar, but there are also students who did not, so please do not make fun of each other. In fact, even if the contract with a familiar is successful, it is the same in the end if you do not know how to properly handle the familiar. , In the next class, students who did not succeed in making a contract with a familiar will continue to try to make a contract, and students who succeeded in making a contract will be taught how to handle a familiar. See you in the next class.”

As the professor left the classroom with words, the students approached each other’s friends and introduced their familiars. I watched, and the moment I got up to stand up, Sharon approached me.

“Did you fail too?”

Sharon came up to me and asked me that question, and when I nodded and smiled at Sharon’s question, Sharon also smiled.

“It’s not as easy as you think. How does everyone sign a contract?”

“If we knew that, we would be like this. Since I am a golem, I have to destroy the golem or something, but this is harder than I thought.”

“I’m a wolf, so I don’t know whether I should kill him or save him. I need to find out if there’s a magic that can subdue my opponent.”

“Why don’t you ask senior Erica and she will tell you.”

“Because Erica is the one who will tell you to realize it with your own body.”

As I was saying that and smiling, Sharon spoke to me.

“But you are also the person who can teach me if you need it, right? Are you going to work today too?”

“I will continue to go to work until the holidays, and I plan to rest on the holidays. Well, if something happens at Ignolia, I won’t go to work.”

“I hope nothing happens.”

And I whispered softly to Sharon.

“Who is Zilan senior?”

“We decided to meet briefly this evening, and when I asked the seniors around us, it seemed that Astan was dressed similarly to the strange man you met.”

“I will ask you to investigate. Just in case, if it is dangerous, call your senior at any time.”

“I am also a person who values my life.”

At those words, I nodded, gathered my things, left the classroom, and walked towards the cafeteria. In the hallway leading to the cafeteria, many students were wandering around after lectures, and as I slowly walked down the hallway, I carefully removed the curse detection tool that I had put in my jacket pocket and held it in my hand.

As I was walking down the hallway, I saw the detection tool shaking as I passed a few students, and it occurred to me that there were more people with the curse in this academy than I thought. It is said that the magical eye is a type of curse, and certain constitutions are also a type of curse, so there must be quite a few students with a curse at the academy where wizards gather… …

I was walking while thinking about who on earth was a spy for the Demon King’s army.

Suddenly, the detection tool shook violently. Before, I just had to concentrate to feel the shaking, but this time it felt different. I looked around in surprise at the detection tool shaking as if it was about to break, but there was nothing around. I thought there was something wrong, so I took out the detection tool and held it in my hand, but the shaking was still there.

As I slowly moved forward, the shaking became a little weaker, and as I moved backward, the shaking became stronger. The moment I put my left foot out to the side to move to the left, the shaking became stronger and I looked to the left.

On the left, however, nothing caught my eye. It was just an ordinary hallway, but I wondered why it was shaking as if I had found a curse, so I stretched out my left hand and touched the hallway, but there was nothing unusual. Is there something or someone beyond this hallway?

Even after thinking about that, I couldn’t come up with a correct answer, so I walked towards the restaurant. As I saw the detection tool shaking around on the way to the restaurant, I thought it would be difficult to find the spy.

When I arrived at the academy’s main gate, Senior Chloe was standing there. Senior Chloe looked at me with a smile as her eyes turned towards me, and I slightly bowed my head in greeting before opening my mouth to her.

“Today, you are in charge of guarding the school gate.”

“Isabel went on patrol, so Leonard went on patrol, and they said they plan to eliminate all the dead cores by today. Who is your junior?”

“I’m off to work, I’m working at a tavern in Ignolia.”

“You’ve had a lot of trouble.”

Suddenly a thought occurred to me. I heard that Senior Chloe is good at alchemy, so she might know how to do it.

“Is there such a thing as a drug to find spies of the Demon King’s army?”

“Well, since it is a type of curse, if the correct answer is which curse, we can make a drug or tool to find that curse… … It’s difficult, but you wouldn’t know if you knew the exact name of the curse.”

“This is a difficult area for you too.”

“First of all, the professors are looking for you using a tool to find curses, so it won’t be long before you are caught.”

“I see.”

Then Chloe looked at me and smiled.

“You seem to have a lot on your mind, junior.”

“I’m thinking about finding a mole for the Academy.”

“I think that is the priority if you want to find Ignolia’s mole.”

“It would be easier if at least one of them was caught, but in the end, it was a difficult method. I should think about that later and go to work first.”

“… … That’s right, I’ll go first.”

After saying hello, I walked towards Ignolia. As I was walking slowly on the road to Ignolia, I wondered who the gunman that Senior Gillan had encountered was Senior Isabel, and Jeremy caught my eye.

As I was watching Jeremy heading somewhere, I thought I wanted to follow him, but Isabelle would be busy today, so I walked down the street without saying a word, thinking not to disturb her.
