The trainee sat on the bench in a daze.

This was because the research materials submitted to Matap as a result of this semester were rejected rather than put on hold.

“Scholarship completely excluded… Promotion on hold… Personal lab application on hold…”

All sorts of terrible thoughts ran through the alchemist’s head one after another.

“I saw your research materials.”

“…Huh?”

It was then that a person approached and suddenly spoke.

“Antagonistic understanding of black magic from an alchemical perspective. Interesting. Challenging. So rejected.”

“…”

“Matop is more progressive than any other group, but at the same time, it is also more conservative than any other group. You should never cross the line they have drawn.”

“…Master. What do you want with me?”

She was none other than the Master of the Gray Tower, a being far above the apprentices.

A being who evaluates and judges trainees.

The trainee responded indifferently even when the master personally showed interest in him.

Judging from the mood, it seemed like he was going to give some kind of advice and guidance in the name of counsel, but in the current situation, all he could do was pour salt on an old wound.

“I guess I felt a sense of kinship.”

“…A sense of homogeneity?”

You say I’m the same as you. What exactly is the similarity?

The trainee tried hard to hide his displeasure.

“I wanted to pass on your research. But. The other masters were strongly against it. They said that leaving a bad example would be a bad thing that would make the Magic Tower sick. They said it would have a bad influence on the other students.”

“…So. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to personally tell me how my research materials were ignored by the respected masters?”

“I told you. I felt a kinship with you. In fact, I’ve been through the same thing as you.”

The trainee laughed at her inwardly.

I’ve been through the same thing. The way you spoke with such conviction was disgusting and unlikeable.

What do I know?

The master, who had no way of knowing the trainee’s inner thoughts, continued speaking.

“I didn’t know it at the time, but I found out later. When I took the entrance exam. The same story was told on the top floor of the magic tower. There were voices of opposition saying that leaving a bad example like mine would have a long-term negative impact on the magic tower.”

“… and now you’re here.”

“That’s right. It’s not recorded, but I heard someone there raised their voice.”

“You were able to join the Magic Tower thanks to that person. Who is that person?”

“I wanted to know too. But I never found out. The Tower accepted me, but it didn’t fully acknowledge me. It didn’t record the meetings where I was discussed. So that it could be made to never happen at any time.”

The trainee raised his head, which had been bowed, and looked up at the master.

The master nodded and continued talking.

“It’s the same now. I’m the Master of the Tower, but I’m not on the Tower’s register. But, as you said, I’m here. People don’t acknowledge me, but they can’t deny me. It’s all because I had a chance. A chance to prove myself. And that chance was-”

“Thanks to the anonymous someone who spoke up for you.”

“That’s right.”

The master extended his hand to the apprentice.

“I want to give that opportunity to someone else too.”

“…”

The trainee lowered his head again, revealing his emotions in a way the Master could not see.

It was the vile grumbling of a hunter who had found an opportunity.

Apprentice Tulan.

Her expression softened. The mean hunter was instantly transformed into an impressed apprentice.

Tulan said, taking the hand the Master extended.

“I won’t disappoint you, Master Didoa.”

────────────────────

A hostile understanding of black magic from an alchemical perspective.

The reason why Matap rejected Tulan’s research was obvious. It was because there was no guarantee that her research would not go beyond the ‘limit’.

Those who wield evil powers were not placed above the apostles from the beginning.

Even those who walk the right path can easily lose themselves by taking the wrong path.

The judgement of the tower was reasonable –

If we really have to argue about right and wrong, it would be Didoa who made the wrong decision.

Didoa knew too.

That his judgment was not rational.

However, the reason I made a decision that went against reason was because my emotions literally got the better of me.

Didoa had lived her entire life as a half-demonic being persecuted.

If there was one important event in her life, it was undoubtedly passing the entrance exam.

That one recognition turned him from a mere half-demon into the master of the magic tower.

If it weren’t for that, he would have been making drugs on the outskirts of the city.

Didoa never forgot that fact. That’s why she had always admired it.

I hope that one day I will be able to give that opportunity to others.

So Didoa swore.

No matter what happens, let’s trust Tulan.

“You stupid woman. How dare a half-demon like you pity me? Come on. Pity me as much as you want.”

In this way, the opportunity given by Didoa became a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tulan.

────────────────────

Didoa, who had been persecuted as a half-demon her entire life, was awkward when dealing with people.

“Dido- Ah! I’m sorry. Dido-san feels too friendly… Yes? Can I call you that when we’re alone? I’m happy! ”

Tulan did not miss the gap in Didoa’s heart that she showed him and dug deep into it.

“Dido’s professor… I’ll try my best!”

Didoa gave Tulan more authority than just an assistant, and Tulan took full advantage of it.

He interacted with the people of Matap under the name of Didoa.

In the name of Didoa, he freely used the research materials of the Magic Tower.

Research was conducted in the name of Didoa.

He filled the area around Didoa with his own traces.

“Tulan? I think my chair has changed?”

“Oh! That’s right! I changed it!”

“Why?”

“I tried sitting down and it was so uncomfortable! You know it’s all for Didoa, right?”

“…Yeah.”

At some point, Didoa realized that there were more Tulans in her lab than her own things.

“How could you do that to me?”

“Tulan-”

“Okay! I. If you don’t allow this, I’ll quit being a teaching assistant.”

“…This is really the last time.”

“Really!? Thank you, Didoa! After all, you are the only one for me!”

Didoa, who was awkward in dealing with people, grew and realized something through her relationship with Tulan.

The fact that I gave too much to Tulan in the name of understanding.

To Tulan, he was neither an understander, nor a friend, nor anything.

They are just objects of exploitation.

Didoa wanted to correct it, even if it was late.

But by the time I realized the problem, it was already too late.

“Didoah. What is that habit you have of speaking to Master Tulan?”

This was the response from the trainees surrounding Tulan when Didoa spoke up for conversation.

“… Apprentice. What are you talking about? Master Tulan. Tulan. Explain to me?”

“How dare you, dirty half-demon woman!”

The trainee pushed Didoa. Didoa was so flustered that she couldn’t even react and fell over after being pushed.

Tulan looked down at Didoa with cold eyes and said.

“Didoah. I would have told you to be careful when other people are around.”

“…Tulan?”

“I guess I neglected you too much, Dido. You’re under a one-week quarantine order. Take the time to reflect on yourself. ”

‘Parasitic Oblivion’, a power that the devil’s followers have received from the devil.

It worked perfectly as it had all the conditions in place.
