A person who becomes more interesting the more you look at him. (3)

Peaceful Empire Academy Practical Training Center.

“Your information says that your Black Magic Attribute is Lv. 3, but you can only use Lv. 1 magic?”

“Yes. I haven’t learned level 2 magic yet, and even if I tried to learn it on my own, the kingdom’s handling of magic books containing black magic above level 2 is too strict.”

“Hmm… The magic control and the spellcasting are both very clean, but that’s too bad. Well, it’s good. The Imperial Academy is much more lenient than the Kingdom when it comes to black magic. Plus, there’s a Lv. 4 black magic professor, so if you study hard, you’ll be able to achieve greatness in the future.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

“Hmm. Well, you worked hard on the test today. I’ll send out the results within this week.”

“Yes, thank you.”

After I finished the test, I bowed my head to the professor’s words, which were more positive than I expected.

I was a little surprised to hear that the interview wasn’t a separate event, but was a series of trivial conversations that took place during and while moving around the exam.

The professor’s words were so confident that I could easily agree with him that the Imperial Academy was not a place to waste time listening to cookie-cutter interview answers.

After the professor finished the test, he left the practical exam room first.

“Woohoohohoho!… Keluk! Keluk!!… Hey, commoner! You’re doing great! You broke two targets!”

“Because I only have two attack magic spells I can use.”

“Ong. That black hand magic from earlier was scary! Does it have no attack power?”

“Yes. But what’s scary about that? “

“That’s right! It was so scary when a black hand came out of the ground and started squeezing it! If a girl was tied up like that, she would scream and cry for help!”

“Haha! Do you want to tie it up once?”

“Huh?!”

When I joke with her, who naturally approaches me and shows off her pride, I find it really cute how she raises both arms to make an X, makes fists like a cat, and shakes her head with all her might, as if she really thought I meant it.

Haha! If she’s doing that on purpose, then this woman is quite the target.

“Just kidding. If you capture the princess of the empire, you’ll get captured by the knights.”

“Huh?! That’s right! I’m the princess! I refuse to play with that kind of black hand!”

“Huh? Then what kind of play are you hoping for?”

“Oh, huh? What kind of play? Uh… I, I like the innocent who starts with friends!”

“Phuhat!”

“Why, why are you laughing?!”

Well, I can’t help but laugh.

She was immediately smitten with Raoul’s face when he came to compete in the Imperial Ranking Match, and confessed to him. Even though Raoul surrounded her with nice words because she was a human being of the status of a princess, she started stalking him, saying, “I won’t give up! You are the man who is destined to become my husband!”

To be honest, the latter half of the novel was mainly about the battle with the demons, and there was no atmosphere for her love to come true, but unless the author had forced a drift and put her in as a harem member, she would have ended the novel as a stalker from beginning to end. Plus.

‘… Later, she became someone who conspired with the demons without even knowing it.’

Me and the character Rudis are similar.

That is, her destiny is not to be a harem member loved by the protagonist, but to be a villainess.

A villainess who likes the main character, but is not helpful. Nor does her relationship with the people around her improve.

In addition, the actions taken to express her feelings to Raul bring about incidents and accidents with a greater ripple effect than expected.

The only difference between her and me is that she is the princess of the empire and behind her is someone as great as the emperor, so she won’t fall as easily as I did.

‘Still, I often saw him struggling.’

I know what her purpose is, but I’m not sure if her choice is right.

Of course, I know that all of her current actions are intentional, but is there really no other way?

‘… I don’t know. No, I know exactly, but I don’t know if it’s right to reach out here.’

Anyway, I just thought it was cute when I saw the bun-haired villainess puffing out her cheeks and flaring her nostrils as if protesting my laughter, so I patted her on the shoulder and spoke to her as kindly as I could.

“Please keep that promise. Then a good ending may await you.”

“Meow… ?”

If you’re going to explode with love for the protagonist Raoul, please start slowly with his friends.

If you do that, you’ll be able to live a life that’s far removed from the story. The difference is that the damage will be greatly reduced.

And since her appearance is honestly pretty, Raul would probably like her enough if he knew the truth about her.

‘Well, if the princess story disappears and there’s a gap, I’ll fill it.’

“Then, I’ll go since my exam is over. Your Highness, you should go home early too.”

“Huh? Why?”

“You said that earlier, that I’m a bad commoner who can’t rest on a holiday. Shouldn’t you go and rest quickly?”

“Ong! Right! Then I should go rest! Then, the girl should go to the dorm first!”

“Yes, then I will go too. I don’t know if I passed, but I hope to see you again later.”

“Meow? Are you trying to seduce me? Are you planning on asking for my phone number next?!”

“Oh! You got caught, but I plan on capturing you with Black Hands, not Sun-ae.”

“Ugh! Shit, I hate it!”

“Poo-ha-ha!! Just kidding. Sorry, I don’t have a cell phone. I don’t have any special abilities other than black magic.”

“Yeah, that’s too bad.”

“?”

“?”

You’re sad? You really wanted to exchange numbers with me?

I tilted my head at her answer, but she looked back at me as if nothing was strange and tilted her head like a puppy in response.

Hehe, is this princess really flirting with me?

“Now, hurry up and go in. If you don’t, I’ll really catch you with my black hands.”

“Okay! Let’s go! Just wait and see!!”

What the heck?

She ran away in shock at the joke I made, then peeked her head out from in front of the door, looked at me, and waved slightly. I smiled bitterly and waved back.

It was almost 10 seconds later that the princess, who had been nodding her head vertically and shaking her bun as if satisfied with it, disappeared.

“The more I see him, the more interesting he becomes.”

It’s a very unpleasant story that such a cheerful person later becomes connected to the Demons and ends up being pushed around by Raoul.

“Well, I guess this is something that a reincarnated person would do.”

The quest hasn’t appeared, but let’s keep our hands outstretched.

Thinking like that, I also moved my legs outside the academy.

“Hmm. These are the conditions I suggested, but do you really want to accept all of them?”

“Mr. Clark, please don’t forget the conditions written here.”

Imperial Tower.

The three-day meeting between the two magicians was finally coming to an end.

“Sharing of key technologies for all magical tools developed until last year for 5 years. Full payment for the installation of black communication towers for black magicians in the Imperial Capital and five nearby cities. And joint announcement of all technologies developed within 3 years, and other things… Hmm. Honestly, I thought it would be quite pleasant if you accepted just one or two of the suggestions I made, but I’m rather embarrassed that you’ve accepted them all.”

Clark Theodore, a wizard who liked business more than magic and sorcery, read the contract over and over again, even while cutting back on sleep, but as expected, he was starting to get suspicious because he was gaining too much instead of losing anything.

“As Mr. Clark has said several times, we may have different priorities, but I am fine as long as I can get everything written here.”

The black magic tower master Piana Stone, who had spoken like that, held out the contract she was holding and her blue eyes were burning with earnestness.

“… The Imperial Magic Tower will secure and purchase the construction site for the Black Tower and Communication Tower. The names of the main developers will be announced without any lies. The patents for black magic tools developed within 3 years will be monopolized by the Imperial Magic Tower (however, the Imperial Magic Tower will be allowed to use the technology without receiving a patent fee). Maintenance of the Black Communication Tower will be divided with the Imperial Magic Tower after 5 years… No matter how I think about it, isn’t this too different?”

He tilted his head as if he really didn’t understand the paper that contained nothing more than an unequal contract stating that the Black Tower would only lose out in comparison to what the Imperial Tower would gain, but Piana thumped the paper, saying that it was not that part but the last line that was important.

“… Permission to enter the Empire of the Black Tower without any other procedures for 10 years, and recommend Fianna Stone as the Academy Black Magic Professor. When delivering it to the Kingdom of Frisia, it will be the responsibility of the Imperial Tower Lord Clark Theodore to promote it. … Honestly, is that important? It can be done with just a few phone calls. “

“The most important thing! Rather, the rest can be solved somehow with money! But from my perspective, these are things that are impossible to do quickly!!”

“Hmm.”

Clark, who was seeing her like this for the first time, nodded awkwardly at her, who was more seriously into it than he had thought.

If it were just force, wealth, or authority, she would completely overwhelm them, but her current appearance was like that of a beast, ready to destroy the Empire’s magic tower even if it meant turning the black magic tower into dust if this lower line was not formed.

“I promise. I’ll tell you all about it within half a year… “

“One week!”

“… That might be a bit difficult, but even so, it’s the kingdom’s position… “

“How many times during the meeting did I tell you not to worry about their position?!”

In other words, she said she would do whatever I asked her to do, so please do what she wanted quickly. To be exact, she wanted me to do the things listed below.

Clark Theodore actually thought it was possible to do it within a week, but he also thought it would be difficult to proceed recklessly.

Even though it is a kingdom that is not part of the Imperial Tower’s business area, it is a story about a country that has its own exports.

If you apply too much pressure and incur the kingdom’s resentment, it could lead to great losses.

‘Well, if you think about it that way, the weight of what they accepted is roughly the same…’

Eventually, he began to stroke his chin and weigh the losses and gains, and the one who interrupted his worries was the butt-top owner, Brocken, who had aged more than anyone else in the past three days.

“… Lord of the Tower. If it is because the export route is likely to be blocked, please add one more line to the contract. 20% of the annual supplies that the Imperial Tower exports to the Kingdom will be purchased by the Black Tower, and the export route will be distributed through the Black Tower. As for the distribution cost… Please just match the minimum wage with an annual renewal. “

“Huh?”

“Well said! What do you think! If we do this, even if the kingdom’s export route is blocked, our ally can go around selling it! Then we won’t have to worry about their position, right?!”

Clark swallowed as another lucrative contract was added in an instant. And.

“… No matter what, the minimum wage is too much, so let’s make it the minimum wage + 2,000 gold per year. It also makes me think about the life of selling things. “

Instead, he ended up suggesting that he would give more.

How could someone so obsessed with business say that they would rather give more?

Perhaps the Black Tower is a greater bargaining chip than he thought.

With that in mind, they added to the contract and happily signed their magic vows there.

“If this contract is not kept… “

“Completely destroy your magical circuits and magical properties.”

The two looked at each other’s contracts and smiled with great satisfaction.

Of course, both of them had dark circles under their eyes.

“Would you like some coffee?”

“… Give me some cocoa. I’ll eat it and sleep. “

“Please add milk too.”

When the two people were finally ready to finish talking, Brocken, who was the first to wake up, said he would just go to sleep and left the living room, leaving the two of them alone to drink coffee and cocoa.

-sniffling.

-Gulp.

“… Piana.”

“What is it?”

“Are you that good of a disciple?”

“Yes, it’s so good.”

“This question may be a bit too much, but I’m curious. By any chance, what does “good” mean… “

Clark was thinking, what if, after seeing her behavior for the past three days?

At first, I thought she was looking for him out of maternal love, out of affection for the disciple she had raised.

And, thanks to her actions, it was also a time when we could fully understand that the crimes the kingdom committed against the human named Rudis were not true.

But apart from that, I couldn’t help but think that the reason she was looking for him wasn’t just because she ‘cared for the disciple who had been falsely accused’.

And to his question like that.

“The Lord Top also has a wife.”

“Yes.”

“How old are you?”

“… Forty, six years older than me.”

“Then, isn’t it not a problem that I like a guy who is about 17 years younger than me?”

“… … “

“First of all, let me say this. She is my first love and I am a virgin.”

“Coolook… !”

Her straightforward talk made Clark feel sullen for the first time while drinking coffee.

No, he and his wife are quite different in age, but he is still not the woman he ‘raised’.

It’s just that we happened to meet and fell in love, it’s not that I created a woman to my taste from the beginning.

But the black magic tower…

“I, as far as I know, that kid has been your disciple since he was little… ?”

“That’s why I’ve endured it until now.”

“Crazy, crazy as hell.”

Clarke’s eyes widened at the idea that she had been planning to eat him from the beginning, and although she understood what he was thinking, she didn’t correct him, but instead continued.

“I love Rudis. I will never, ever give it up to anyone.”

The master of the black magic tower, who had not slept properly for three days, revealed his intention not to yield to him even if his opponent was you, the strongest and greatest magician in the world.
