“How many curses have you done this month?”

“5.”

“Now, there are a few left.”

“Not yet, 3 digits.”

“There are more than a hundred left.”

I have almost no memories from my childhood.

Unlike now, back then I was very vulnerable to curses. The number of remaining sick was basic, and each day was a matter of life and death.

“How long does this child have left to live?”

“Rather than longevity, I feel almost no vitality.”

“You did the curse of silence. I can hear it from my child.”

“This child also needs to know his/her condition.”

The memories of that day have not yet been forgotten.

The queen said no, but the curse erases happy memories faster.

“If you give him the curse of silence, didn’t you decide to ask his opinion?”

“You are not in a state where normal judgment can be made.”

“Monica. The pain is the child’s responsibility. You cannot increase the child’s suffering with your stubbornness.”

“Your child’s doctor is important.”

The first sound I heard was a disagreement between heroes.

Monica thought that if she asked me about a doctor, I would naturally choose the option of dying.

The other heroes also believed that, although they didn’t say it.

That’s how terrible my condition was.

Pain that cuts through my entire body and a body that is difficult to move a single hand. It was a situation where even heroes would give up on life.

However, there was something they didn’t think of.

I was born in a worse situation than I am now. I have never known a life without pain, and since I have never felt anything, I have never known a better life than mine.

I didn’t feel unhappy.

I feel even more sorry for the ghosts in my head who are screaming that they want to die.

‘If I die, what will happen to these vengeful spirits?’

I agreed to prolong my life.

***

‘cold.’

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unknown ceiling.

-Squeak.

As I woke up from my dazed mind, the blinds were lifted and a woman appeared.

“Are you awake? There is nothing wrong with my body, but my mental state is unstable, so it would be a good idea to rest for a day.”

“Where am I?”

“It’s the health room. Miss Pieta carried you.”

I think back to the moment before I passed out.

I heard about misanthropic ideology. Not only me but also the souls inside my body felt angry and were consumed by anger.

…

‘I survived thanks to Miss Pieta.’

Later, I’ll go and say thank you. If it weren’t for Miss Pieta, the surroundings would have been devastated. They are vengeful spirits who did not go on a rampage despite the information that there were remnants of the empire, but if they go on a rampage.

‘I need mental training.’

“What time is it now?”

“It’s almost 1 o’clock.”

“Thank you for taking care of me. I’ll just go now.”

“Students, it would be good to take a little break.”

Black magic theory class is at 1 o’clock.

It takes at least 20 minutes to get to the classroom from here. Movement magic can be used as long as it does not cause damage to the surrounding area.

-Curse of aggravation, slowing, exhaustion

-Curse reversal.

Due to the constant curse, it is difficult for my body to receive buffs. So, the way I came up with was to put a curse on myself and reverse it. The downside is that even if the effect changes, the curse is the same, so you can’t cast it much.

‘Now up to five.’

I ran towards the classroom at full speed.

“Hello. My name is Perna.”

“Hello. This is Perrin.”

“Are you here to take this class too? me too… .”

Fortunately, we were able to arrive before the start, but there was only one seat left.

The vampire woman I saw in the aptitude test.

A person who had vast and pure mana, but was unable to use magic properly.

‘and. A person with great resentment.’

Even now, resentment is blooming around her.

From a distance, I saw her getting along well with her friends and laughing, but inside she was rotten and rotten.

‘My nose is three feet long. ‘Where is the time to think about other people?’

As the customer nodded at the voice coming from the side, the professor entered the classroom.

“Nice to meet you. Dear students. My name is Alfred Rosina and I teach black magic theory.”

A tall man who appears to be in his 30s. Race: vampire.

“Black magic theory analyzes the magic used by the empire, compares it to the magic we use, and learns about its application.”

“Professor, is it okay to apply black magic?”

“Good question. Can I apply black magic? The answer is ‘yes’. Do you know why black magic is banned?”

“Because it is dangerous.”

“It is because of consuming life.”

“Because it affects the mind.”

There are many reasons why the Allies banned black magic. Of course, as the students answered, it consumes life and affects the mind. This is because there are many magics that contract with inhuman or dangerous beings. and.

“Any of the reasons you answered could be a reason. However, there is another biggest reason.”

The professor drew a graph on the blackboard. One started at the bottom and grew in number as it went to the right. One started at the top, went down to the middle, and maintained that number until the end was reached.

“The x-axis of this graph is time. So, what is the y-axis?”

Just as the students were pondering over the professor’s question, they heard an answer from next to them.

“Number of soldiers who can use magic.”

“What is the student’s name?”

“This is Perna.”

“As student Perna said, the y-axis is the number of soldiers who can use magic. Until the end of the war, the Empire’s population capable of using magic barely decreased. That’s because magic is so easy to learn.”

The professor wrote mana manipulation, mana amount, knowledge, aptitude, and mana sensitivity on the blackboard. I wrote five words. Five basic things when using magic.

“Dark magic involves entrusting mana manipulation to another being or replacing the amount of mana with life. I learned magic by using a bypass book. Instead, they didn’t last long and died. The biggest reason why black magic was banned is that if even one country uses black magic to start a war, the only way to respond is for all countries to fight or use black magic.”

Black magic doubles the victims of war. The life and mana of a living person, the soul and corpse of a dead person. As the war progresses, black magic becomes stronger.

“However, the theory of black magic is not wrong. It’s just that the method is wrong. If you use the right method or use knowledge, it can be useful in real life and in battle.”

I agree with that statement.

As I wrote to Miss Barney, transferring or sharing the pain reduces the number of people who die of shock. It is difficult to cast sleep or olfactory paralysis magic on yourself because your self-defense system is activated, but it is possible if it is a curse.

“Currently, we are exploring ways to solve crimes using necromantic magic, and we are also researching ways to prevent demonic invasion by analyzing demon summoning magic. The knowledge you learn here will be used for the advancement of humanity.”

As soon as the professor finished speaking, a murmur was heard nearby. Most of them had the same researcher-like thoughts as ‘What kind of black magic should I study, and can I actually use it?’

-bang

“Students.”

The professor hit the table once and drew the students’ attention in a low voice.

“This course is a very useful course, but on the other hand, it is also the most dangerous course. We examine the principles, methods and practical applications of black magic. In fact, some students who took this class became criminals while using black magic.”

The students who were noisy at the professor’s words became quiet.

“The student said he did it out of curiosity.

Curiosity can be the beginning of research, but on the other hand, it can also be the beginning of crime. So, if students taking our lectures need to research black magic outside of lecture hours, they can do so only in front of me or my teaching assistants.”

The front door opened and over 20 people came inside.

“The students here are all teaching assistants in the dark magic department. In addition, there are 10 teaching assistants who were unable to participate due to their schedules. If you are in a hurry, you can talk to another professor without feeling uncomfortable. So, the excuse that you can’t do anything because you don’t have time doesn’t work.”

There are more than 400 people taking classes, and there are more than 30 teaching assistants. This part showed how dangerous the Academy considers black magic.

“And, our lectures have group assignments. The group will be decided next week. Before that, it’s not a bad idea to think about your research topic yourself. Well, that’s all for today’s class.”

after class.

The cold came, so I huddled in the back of the building. I’m afraid it will look strange if I curl up in the cold in the spring when flowers are blooming. On purpose, I settled in a place where there were no people.

-The curse of perception.

Now I am a stone rolling by the side of the road. Other people will perceive me at that level too.

“Fuck. I can’t eat it.”

“So, I live with such an incompetent bitch. We look strange too.”

“What should I do? I am the eldest daughter of the infamous Morbus family.”

“Why don’t you excommunicate that bitch?”

“ Damn. You’re smart. So, it’s in the family.”

“Hold on a little. As long as you stick next to that bitch, your test score is guaranteed.”

“Yes. okay. I have to endure it.”

It’s my third day at school.

There are already 2 people being bullied.

‘Isn’t there a problem with this school?’
