The Three of Us. (3)

Piana Stone

In the world of the novel, he is the only one who has successfully followed the path of a black magician and become a black magician. He is the owner of the Black Magic Tower and the teacher of Nora, one of the heroines. When he reaches the level of a magician.

That ability was something that even Clark Theodore, the world’s greatest wizard, admitted in the novel that he could not be certain of victory in a full-out battle.

In a situation where she, a reincarnated person like me, awakened earlier than the storyline, it is only natural that the magic of someone like me, a mere level 4 dark magician, would be seen through.

“Since when have you known?”

“I doubted it when we made eye contact at the academy, and I was sure when I sat down in the next chair and stuck to you.”

Was the closeness really too much? I can’t help but laugh.

I didn’t want anyone to find out, not just her, but the world doesn’t always go as I want it to.

In the first place, I didn’t expect that the Master would return to the Empire even after awakening as a wizard, and even if he did, I thought that we would only meet again after I had progressed to a certain extent in the Empire’s story.

I think meeting too early was the cause of the trouble.

‘… No, honestly, I was hoping for something like that.’

A quest that came to mind while on a date with the princess. Not only Yuria’s name, but also the Master’s name was written there.

The wizard Fianna Stone does not appear in the story that occurs during the Imperial Ranking Battle, but it was quite predictable since the death rate was written when encountering an opponent.

However, even so, I deliberately turned my eyes away from that article and [hypnotized] myself again recently.

Not only with my older sister, but also with the princess, my heart would pound so hard that it felt like it was going to burst.

“I have been trying to understand that you are a secretive guy since the day you brought the kids to me 12 years ago. One, I don’t know about anything else, but since you are my disciple, I need to know why you put a mental spell on yourself. This is not a question from a back-alley thug or a drunken black magician, but from the master of the Black Tower and your master, so answer properly. “

Usually, when I refused to talk about personal matters, my teacher would make a sour expression and back off, but now she has a serious expression on her face, a complete absence of that look.

If she didn’t look like a 6-8 year old child, I might have been overwhelmed by her spirit and let out all the things I usually kept hidden.

“If I say I’m embarrassed and don’t want to talk, will you be mad?”

“Don’t ask when you already know. I’m not joking.”

“Haha. I know that too, but it’s embarrassing to say.”

For the first time in a while, a sense of difficulty that cannot be completely stopped by self-hypnosis wells up to my fingertips, and I unconsciously sweep my bangs up and look up at the sky.

Gosh, I should have tried to adapt a long time ago. Why am I getting caught like this?

“Master, do you remember what happened 10 years ago?”

“10 years ago… Are you talking about the night you rescued that wet nipple and that little girl?”

I nodded my head awkwardly, smiling as I looked at my teacher, who was frowning as if he was displeased, while poking my older sister, who was sleeping on the bench next to me, with his thumb. Then, my teacher, remembering what happened that day, seemed to immediately understand what I was trying to say, and glared at me, clicking his tongue.

“… I think I definitely told that Brocken guy to take you and train you back then. “

“I’m sorry. I’m a much weaker person than you think, Master. I couldn’t help it. “

“… … “

When I saw my teacher frowning as if she was even more disgusted by what I said, I scratched my forehead with my hand, thinking that I must have disappointed her again. Then she let out a deep sigh and opened her mouth.

“Are you still scared and afraid of taking the lives of humans and…human-like creatures?”

“Yes.”

Why I Hypnotized Myself.

That’s because this world is a fantasy world close to the modern era, but the weight of life is completely different from the modern era.

The first time I almost had a mental breakdown was less than a month after I recalled my past life in Rudis’ body.

It was just a few days ago that a beggar girl who had been living off of trash was found dead the next day.

For some reason, such a young girl was strangled to death, her pupils dilated and her tongue sticking out. Seeing her like that made me vomit and not be able to drink water properly for several days.

And when I finally came to my senses, I realized that I had been reincarnated into ‘that’ world.

The girl’s body was eaten by wild dogs, not by anyone, but no one thought it was strange. And yet, when I look out over the big city, I see a landscape that is not much different from the modern times when I used to live there, but they don’t care about us dying like that.

A world where life is meaninglessly erased, not even on the news or talked about.

I couldn’t adapt to it properly like other light novel protagonists or reincarnated characters in anime.

Of course, I didn’t intend to die like that, so I took action to make sure that a tragedy like that girl’s would not happen again, at least not around me.

And that first step was meeting the Master.

“… I heard. You met another demon recently.”

“Haha. It’s Clark.”

“Did you miss it again?”

“I couldn’t kill him.”

After that, I tried to somehow adapt to this world, but I suffered from the aftereffects several times after killing things that looked like people and had human forms.

Whenever I killed a goblin, orc, troll, or something with two eyes and a snout like a human, I couldn’t come to my senses for a few days.

I, who was like that… fought against a demon that looked exactly like a human to save others. If that’s the case, then I don’t need to talk about the results.

“… Idiot. You put that kind of magic on yourself, and you’re saying you couldn’t kill her? You’re already being targeted by other demons because you saved that wet bitch and her daughter.”

“Still, I’ve cleaned up this demon tribe to some extent. I’ll make sure they don’t show up in front of me again.”

“Fuck. The demons must be killed. They just kill humans. Even if you take some temporary measures, they won’t last forever. “

“… … “

I bow my head at the teacher’s words.

Even if I had gained the power of a wizard through [Gabul] and had put [Self-Hypnotism] on the demon I had met before, Cutlass, and had him pretend to be aiming for Galv Hoppen and circle around, the effect of that magic would wear off someday, and he would kill Galv Hoppen and come back to kill me someday.

Of course, I had hypnotized myself into meeting the main character as the story said before, but as the Master said, it won’t last forever, and if I make a mistake and go in the wrong direction, my life could be in danger.

However, this cannot be helped.

In the Kingdom of Frisia, I used self-hypnosis to make the low-level demons who didn’t appear in the story target Nora, Ellis, Raoul, or Albert fight each other, but that’s about the limit of what I can do.

“I’m sorry. I’m a coward.”

“… Idiot. I should have trained him instead of leaving it to Brocken.”

The teacher seemed frustrated with my confession, hit his forehead, swallowed the melting ice cream in one gulp, and then stood up.

“Tsk, that’s enough. Now that I’ve confirmed that you’re still a snobby idiot who only likes people, I’ll train you this time.”

“… Aren’t you disappointed?”

“Huh? Why me.”

After hearing my story, I looked at the teacher who started making a hook with an expression as if to ask what on earth he was talking about this time, and I tilted my head in confusion.

No, in this world, unlike the modern-day Korea where I lived, the concept of ‘self-defense’ exists very properly.

If the opponent seems to be stabbing me with a knife, I will not be guilty of killing him in return as long as there is evidence left, and naturally, killing a demon is evaluated in the same way as killing a monster.

But, in this world, I’ve been living for 12 years, recalling my memories of my past life, and I’m already in my mid-20s in this world, but I still can’t kill a single monster that looks like a criminal or a person, so I’m a loner who’s hypnotizing myself. Doesn’t the Master think that I’m pathetic?

“You’re pathetic. And I think you’re a fool. However, in my opinion, that’s also your charm. You’re not afraid to use your power to save others, but you’re also afraid to hurt others. I’ve never seen a person like that in my entire life. So, you’re a fool, but you’re a great fool, and that’s why you’re a suitable person to be my disciple.”

-Pok.

The teacher, who had been talking to me in a soft and comforting tone, placed his small hand on my head and started stroking it, and I started to feel a little choked up.

Oh, I’m having a bit of a hard time reacting emotionally after drinking.

“… Thank you.”

“Okay. That’s what a master is. But, is that the only effect of that magic called self-hypnosis?”

-A little hot.

“?”

I was planning to stop talking here, but my body reacted before I knew it to the additional questions that came up.

I think it’s because I was drunk that my reflexes took effect before my self-hypnosis.

“… What kind of effect did you put on it again?”

“… It’s not really important.”

“Stop talking nonsense and speak clearly, so I can interpret it and release it.”

“… He, he worked a little on his affinity for the opposite sex and his self-control.”

“What the hell is this?!!”

“Ahhhh! S, Master! My hair is falling out!! Am I going to get bald?!!”

“Is hair loss important? Where in the world is there a crazy bastard who makes himself into a slut with his own hands?!!”

“I’m not a goner?! I just made it so that it doesn’t react well… !!”

“We call it magical castration! You crazy bastard! Don’t you want to release it now?! What the hell is that…!!”

No!! Nora, Ellis, my older sister, and my teacher are all characters in a novel, so maybe it’s because they’re so damn pretty, beautiful, and cute, but I can’t help but look at them with those eyes!!

I felt like those feelings would keep sprouting up and I would misunderstand them without realizing it and end up harassing women in a way that would derail the story! I told you that it was a necessary action for the sake of this world?!!

Of course, I couldn’t just spit out excuses like that, and I repeatedly asked for my Master’s understanding, saying that it was just an action I took to increase my personal self-control, but my Master started yelling at me to lift the ban immediately.

Ah, that’s why I wasn’t going to talk about it!!

“No!! In the first place, isn’t it not a sin for me to try not to show such behavior to the opposite sex?!”

“This is fucking sick!! This is a sin, you little shit!! Release me now!! No, I’ll release you!!”

“Kyaaak! Don’t let go!! No, seriously, don’t use magic!”

“Eeeeek!! This crazy kid is trying to resist my magic power, a wizard!? Oh yeah, great! Let’s see who wins…!!”

-Pot!!

Eventually, I shook off the Master’s arm a little too hard, jumped up from my seat, and stepped back. The Master, grumbling, began to approach me with his arms wide open as if he was going to grab me at any moment.

No!! Seriously, why are you doing this to me?!

“Okay, just shut up and let it go!! Let it go and let me go to the hotel and sleep tonight!!”

“No, I really don’t like it?!”

“Wow!! Don’t the teacher’s words sound like words?!!”

“Oh really!! Stop!! Are you drunk, Master?! I’m going home!”

Even without that, his hair and eyes are black, and even the clothes he wears are pitch black, so just think about that guy who is so annoying that he can’t even stay still and just harasses women like a horny dog without any restraint. Isn’t there a single person in this world who would follow me around just because I’m good?

But thanks to this, I’m having a crush on the princess, but I absolutely can’t give that up…!!

“Why don’t you come here right now?! I’ll release you no matter what!! If I catch you, you’re dead!!”

“Eww!! You crazy teacher!! Get out of here! Save the townspeople!! A young girl catches a grown man!!”

“Who is this little girl, this little disciple!!!”

Under the pitch-black night sky, I was suddenly playing tag with my teacher. But to be honest.

‘I feel a little better after talking to the teacher.’

“Don’t chase me! You stubborn girl!!”

“You’re screwed today! If you really get caught, you won’t be left alone!!”

Thanks to the teacher who followed me and said he would accept me as I am, I honestly didn’t feel bad.
