Chapter Index



    A gentle black magician. (1)



    “Rudis, is there anything you want to do from now on?”

    “Hmm. What do you want to do?”

    After coming to the empire with Yuria, three days passed without any major incidents.

    The biggest thing was recovering my arm, so you could say it was really uneventful.

    And now, I was sitting at the table in my dorm, having breakfast with the convenience store sandwich I bought yesterday.

    “Yes. You’re no longer a student, and you have no intention of returning to the Black Magic Tower, right? If Rudis wants to do something, my sister wants to help.”

    While saying that, I ate the sandwich with my small mouth. Yuria took a bite and said, “Oh my.” While doing so, he dropped some of the contents onto his wide heart.

    Hmm, it’s nice not having to clean the table. It is truly poison in the eyes of men.

    Over the past three days, my sister has been buying appropriate clothes and dressing up more comfortably.

    Even now, I’m wearing a tank top that exposes my belly button, which looks like it’s stretched out like I’m going to die without leaving its original shape, and shorts that can be seen as hot pants, with one leg on my thigh, and I’m pouring out my heart. If it were me who was out of self-hypnosis, my face would be red. If I didn’t lose, I would definitely have collapsed from high blood pressure.

    And for a long time, I must have been unable to move from my spot, twitching like a mobility winner.

    Really, long live black magic.

    “Rather than something I want to do, should I make money as something I have to do? Because I can’t keep borrowing from my sister.”

    “Am I okay? Rather, I think it would be better if Rudis asked me to buy a house. I still have a lot of money~!”

    What on earth does that mean?

    I’m a little scared of my sister’s kind consideration, who keeps wanting to turn me into a bad guy.

    However, in my previous life, I worked hard at a small business, and in this life, I made money by studying hard at the Black Magic Tower.

    It’s not that I don’t have dreams in the life of an unemployed pillar who plays and eats, but I don’t like doing nothing or making no effort and just sucking on other people’s backs.

    “Hmm. But since you’re an academy dropout, there’s probably not much you can do, right? First of all, if Rudis says he wants to become a monster hunter or adventurer, she will be completely opposed to it.”

    “Oh. Everything was blocked before it even started. But sister, if you don’t do that, you have no means of making money, right?”

    To be precise, there is no way to make a lot of money.

    In this world, just like in your previous life, you can live only by working a part-time job, but in that case, you are really just a mayfly who earns day by day and lives day by day.

    If I do that, I’ll really be stuck on my sister and I won’t be able to leave, right?

    “Oh. that’s good. Would you like to find a part-time job today? My sister totally approves of that!”

    “I think that fixing and pushing a 21-year-old’s future as a part-time job is a form of domestic violence. No matter how gracious my sister’s words are, I cannot follow them alone.”

    “Hot, assumption?! Ah, why~? They say it’s Mamang~ I’m the protector~ Are you sure Rudis is trying to abandon me like his daughter?”

    When I see my sister exaggeratedly covering her mouth with both hands and drooping her eyebrows, I try to move my hands away. As I said this, my sister, as expected, covered the corners of her mouth and held back her laughter.

    Hehe, sister. That action is prohibited.

    The sight of the eyes gathering in the center to form a valley is poisonous enough to make a man’s eyesight worse.

    Also, didn’t Ellis abandon his older sister, and did she push him to leave the house?

    “No. Ellis left ‘me’, I didn’t leave Ellis. This is because my daughter is bad for not listening even though I told her enough.”

    “… What on earth were you talking about that made you fight like that? Even though I have a bad relationship with Ellis, I can’t mediate. If it’s okay with you, I’ll listen.”

    I am not such a great person that I can step into other people’s family affairs. I know that better than anyone else.

    However, it is difficult to watch the woman who was willing to die for her daughter become distant from her daughter even though she is alive.

    I asked her with that in mind.

    “That’s it. anyway … … It was because. Since he gave up, he has no right to complain even if I eat him alone.”

    “Yes? Sister, wait a minute, what was it about? No way, you fought over food… “

    “Ah~ni~ra~go~! Stop talking about this! So, Rudis, if you don’t want to be an adventurer, a monster hunter, or a part-time worker, what do you want to do?”

    Out of consideration for Yuria’s feelings about the slightly forced change of conversation, I decided to reply to her words.

    If she behaves any more like this and I end up distancing myself from her, it’s a handshake that can’t be washed away.

    “Okay. I won’t do anything Maman tells me not to do.”

    “Wooi~! Not Mamang, sister! So, what do you plan on doing?”

    After putting Yuria in a bit of a bad mood with a silly joke, I answered her with a big smile.

    “Since I’m a magician, I have to make a living through magic, so let’s go to the Magic Tower.”

    Not the black magic tower of the kingdom, but the magic tower of the empire. I have to go to the place where the greatest [wizard] from the novel lives.

    *

    “What? A warlock from the kingdom came to the empire?”

    “Yes. Once I verified my identity, I was a member of the Black Magic Tower of the Kingdom of Frisia.”

    The Empire’s Magic Tower.

    The man in the middle management of the magic tower where only the most outstanding magicians on this continent gathered frowned upon hearing the report brought by his subordinate.

    “… why? If you are a black magician from the Frisian Black Magic Tower, your identity and abilities have already been proven. Why is a guy like that asking for ‘work’ here?”

    “Well, after researching… “

    Jobs refer to low-level requests received by low-ranking magicians who have not been able to enter any magic tower.

    However, the magician in charge of the counter could not understand why the magician of the Black Magic Tower, who had been the most famous in the kingdom in recent years and had even applied for partnership with the Imperial Magic Tower, would receive such a request.

    Therefore, the magician in charge of the lowest level of the Imperial Magic Tower, after confirming the other person’s identity, thought in the same way as his superior, a mid-ranking magician, and conducted an investigation into him in his own way rather than asking him. And the result.

    “It appears that he committed a crime of attempted terrorism at the Royal Academy and was expelled from the kingdom.”

    “What! Wait a minute, the Academy terrorist was expelled… ? Isn’t it summary execution?”

    “Yes. Plus… “

    The magician continued talking.

    He was expelled from the academy and sentenced to exile from the kingdom, but for some reason he is still enrolled in the Black Magic Tower. Furthermore.

    “He seemed to be unaware that his status was still the ‘best disciple’ of the Black Magic Tower.”

    “… hmm. I’ve seen the nature of the Black Magic Tower owner, but there’s no way he would have left a human who caused damage to the Magic Tower alone. Moreover, if someone he cared about had done that, it would have been even more of an uproar… How, by any chance, did the guy you saw have that kind of personality?”

    “No. On the contrary, he was so polite that it was scary. So, from here on out, I’ve just inferred what I’ve seen about him in person and the information I’ve gathered, but may I tell you?”

    “Okay, tell me.”

    The lowest level magician of the Imperial Magic Tower spoke.

    The man, who is a member of the Black Magic Tower even though he was expelled from the kingdom for his numerous criminal records, perhaps fell into some political trap and took refuge in the empire due to the ‘kingdom’s discrimination against black magicians’.

    Such an extremely reasonable inference.

    “… Damn, that sounds plausible?”

    “Right? So, how should we deal with it?”

    “I see. First, leave out the important work related to the Imperial Magic Tower and give them the work they want for the compensation they want. Oh, and what was your black magic level?”

    “Lv. I reported myself as 3. Also, he said he is now 21 years old.”

    “Crazy early twenties Lv. 3?! Is the kingdom really crazy, or is it just that I have become a person with a personality breakdown who can’t handle anything other than exile? “

    If the card that the kingdom, which did not want to deal with the Black Magic Tower, managed to pull out was deportation, it would be dangerous to keep him in the empire.

    However, it is incomprehensible that the Black Magic Tower owner released a person who threatened the existence of the tower, and furthermore, left the title of best disciple intact.

    In the end, after much thought, the middle management magician concluded that this issue did not seem to be something that could be resolved through his own judgment.

    “I will report it to the tower owner and take action, and you can handle it in the direction he wants, as I just said.”

    “Yes.”

    So, after information about a dark magician named Rudis who came over from the kingdom was shared.

    “Rudis, what did you receive?”

    “Ah, just making a simple black magic catalyst. In the kingdom, other than the Black Magic Tower, I couldn’t find any pastimes like this, but it’s nice that there are requests for black magicians as it is the best magic tower on the continent.”

    The man who shook the imperial magic tower, said to be the best on the continent, was smiling happily with his golden beast after receiving minimum wage work.

    -Slap!

    “Hey, stop!!”

    When a strong knight wearing iron armor shouted in a slightly trembling voice, the ugly faces that had been approaching suddenly stopped and started glaring at him.

    The driver swallowed his saliva at the sight, but nevertheless raised his voice once again to do his best at his job.

    “I know that you are the magicians of the Black Magic Tower! Why on earth did you come to the headquarters of the Knights, acting threateningly?”

    The knight guarding the entrance to the headquarters of the Knights Templar spoke in a solemn voice to sound as threatening as possible, but upon hearing his words, the black magicians all widened their eyes, then looked at each other and started laughing.

    “Fuha! Threat? What did we do to threaten you? I didn’t even block the road properly so I turned right.”

    “Hey, Dongsang. Your face is very threatening.”

    “Ah~ni? I feel bad for saying that! Is my face as big as yours?”

    “They say shit. Are you living without even looking in the mirror? Neg must look scary and threatening even if he just stays still.”

    “That’s right. A kid who makes eye contact with a child while passing by and makes him cry.”

    “What?!”

    The magicians of the Black Magic Tower were not at all intimidated by the knight’s strong voice.

    They had received instructions from the Black Tower lord and had come to the headquarters of the Plain Knights, not the Royal Knights.

    “Ah, Sebeol, let’s stop talking nonsense and get on with what we need to do. If you’re late, you’ll be late.”

    “That’s right. Sister, were you mad?”

    “Well, Rudy’s guy needs to bother people.”

    “Well, what are you doing? Don’t come closer!”

    Ignoring the knight’s advice, they approached them with great strides, and the knight pointed the tip of the spear he was holding, but before he knew it, a black hand sticking out of the ground grabbed the spear and the knight’s arm, pinning them in place.

    “Hyung. Shouldn’t we be threatening drivers who work hard for good citizens? Following the procedures, I went to the departure control office in that kingdom and waited for two days, only to find the retired knight commander. When I asked them to tell me where that person went, the Knights said I couldn’t do it without permission. So, I went out of my way to get permission. You understand, right?”

    “What?! I have no intention of threatening you by doing something like this… !”

    “Come on, guys. Let’s check it out cheaply and then go back. They say Udeol is scary even if he’s just breathing, so don’t forget to look for it while smiling!”

    “””Yes⎯.”””

    Leaving behind the knight who was immobilized by black magic and unable to move, they pushed open the huge iron door as if it were light and approached, smiling as kindly as possible upon seeing the confused knights inside. of course.

    “Hee, hee hee?! what! Is this a treason by the dark magicians…? ?!!”

    “Emergency! emergency!! Super emergency!!!”

    Their evil smiles never seemed kind to others.
