by fnovelpiaA corridor of silence that is not only quiet but gloomy.
I don’t like it being too quiet. This is because no information can be accepted.
‘It’s big…’
And the huge door at the center blocks my path. It’s bigger than you think.
Shake!!
As expected, the door does not open.
I feel as if I have sensed the subtle magical power of a monster through my {monster-like senses} somewhere.
‘This feels like the secret door you opened inside your mother’s library, doesn’t it?’
Without hesitation, I channeled “nothingness” attribute magic into the handle. I definitely thought it was some kind of test that would allow me to get through the door through this process.
Rattling!
Then a loud sound, like a lock opening, echoes through the hallway.
‘fire.?’
Wow..
Clearly, in this world, the concept of machines moving through electricity has not been established.
Although it hasn’t exactly progressed yet, there are traces of some capable people remaining here and there.
Aside from that, the concept of magical engineering that uses refined magic stones as a driving force seemed to be more suitable.
As if to prove it, lights shining in all directions filled the darkened field of vision with orange light. It’s a fresh feeling.
Four trilogy, four trilogy…
As you enter the door, a woman fiddling with something in the center catches your eye.
Her appearance reminded me of Teacher Zeright, who had come to {Dirrin Village} as a tutor in the past.
Hair that is bright golden, not yellow, and flowing.
'You look so similar to the teacher..'
'Are you sure that Teacher Jeright also belongs to the {Royal Academy}?
The only difference between the woman in front of me and Teacher Zeright is that her shabby clothes and glasses clearly expose her ample breasts.
‘What are these books?’
Various books called [Origin of Magic Stones] and [Corrupted Magic Stones] are spread out on the desk.
‘These are amazing books… When can I read them?’
A bookshelf with a variety of really interesting books.
And at the center of it all, there was a professor staring at me with tired, helpless eyes.
“I was waiting.”
Is it really the professor?… I’m starting to have doubts.
"My name is Gerlin of the Trenby family and I am the head of the {Royal Academy}.”
A blue-eyed woman who exudes considerable middle-aged beauty stares at me, rubbing her dark eyes as if she were tired.
Surely I know those blank eyes.
It’s not that I couldn’t sleep. This is evidence that you are suffering from being so overwhelmed by work that you don’t even have time to sleep. It felt like I was seeing my reflection in a mirror in my past life.
“Now, just a moment…”
"If your last name is Tren B.. then it sounds like Teacher Jeright’s last name?"
"Could it be the teacher’s..?"
Yes. The tired woman before my eyes was the teacher’s only older sister.
widely!
“Please feel free to call me principal.”
Gerlin’s expression suddenly darkened as he put down something he was experimenting with.
This unspoken pressure that feels cold in the air.
My distant past… a feeling I’ve felt somewhere before.
‘I remembered…’
Some moments from my past life that remain as great memories.
One of them was the suffocating pressure from the interviewers that I felt when I joined my first job.
“Originally, you have to go through an official transfer process, compete fairly with others, and take an exam.”
“Ha.. In some ways, it seems like a transfer.”
Lift your heavy body and flop down on the sofa! Gerlin’s expression looks serious as he sits down.
“Please sit in the front.”
Gerlin seemed to be observing me closely… but then he frowned with a vague, unintelligible expression.
“I saw so many people while carrying out my duties as principal.”
“People who try to persuade people with money to get into school.”
"Those who try to use the power of their status.."
Is this situation annoying? Gerlin furrowed his brows for a moment and then looked at me again.
“People like you who want to come in through Jihyeon.”
It’s a look in their eyes that doesn’t trust me.
“You can’t ignore your only younger brother’s insight..”
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the distrust from others, but it felt new. I had completely forgotten about it all this time.
“Since all procedures have already been completed, I have an obligation to personally check on you.”
“There has never been a case of trying to transfer through special admissions since the {Royal Academy} was established.”
Gerlin unclasped his hands and picked up the transfer document and quill pen on the table, appearing to be reviewing something.
“Please show me.”
The sharp tone of his speech, as if he were trying to prove his own worth, is somehow unfamiliar.
‘Well… I guess this type of transfer isn’t appropriate, right?’
Even the warmth of the bright morning sunlight shining through the huge window is put to shame… This space with her feels very cold and stuffy.
‘Let’s calm down..’
Since I had been numb to this kind of implicit pressure for a long time, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. Honestly, it’s annoying.
Excited.. Excited..
“after..”
Nevertheless, I have always thought that there is nothing more foolish than hesitating to do something that must be done. All the experiences I have had so far may have made me grow like this.
Therefore, I decided to cast {Shield}, the only magic that can be displayed outside, without going too far.
'Honestly, the only magic I know how to use is… {Shield}, right?’
Excited.. Excited..
The magic energy of the “nothingness” attribute slowly spread through the heart’s unique magic stone, passing through both hands and beginning to appear as a blur of magic.
An opaque flow of magical power that is invisible to ordinary people.
The wave-like tremor gradually calmed down and soon formed a thin film that could be seen in great detail with the naked eye.
“When will you start?”
"Any reason for illegal incorporation is not acceptable."
Gerlin began writing down something in a stern tone.
This convinced me.
The fact is that it is difficult for anyone except my mother to easily notice my “nothingness” attribute magic power.
Since the concept of a detectable “property” itself was “nothing,” it was natural for Gerlin to react like that.
In her eyes, it would have seemed like I wasn’t taking any action.
"Um.. Principal Gerrin.?"
“Call me principal.”
As expected, her tone of voice is firm.
“Yes, yes, principal.”
“Would you mind spraying that thing on the desk on me?”
I decided that it would be better to show it in person rather than explain it in words.
Then Gerlin’s eyes turned to the hot black tea placed on one side of the desk. The steam rising seemed to make me want to blow at any moment.
“Are you talking about this?”
Gerlin seemed to hesitate for a moment at the sudden invitation, but he quickly waved it off.
Wow!!
Even though there is a fireplace warming up the surrounding area… it must have taken a considerable amount of time to warm up all of this large space.
As soon as the hot black tea flew into the air, a huge amount of steam was immediately created.
Nevertheless, Jerin is quite embarrassed by the appearance of Dahyun, who did not even feel any magical energy.
She hurriedly approached him and wiped him off with her white gown-like clothes, asking why he wasn’t using magic.
Sigh.. Sigh..
While she was continuously wiping Da-hein’s body like that… a hard, thin film that she felt under her fingertips stopped her movements.
'Wow, the magical power is composed like a thin membrane..'
'And yet… you can’t sense it at all.?’
Zerlin, who was looking closely at the armor-like {shield} surrounding his entire body, was wide-eyed at the fact that it was based on the presence or absence of “non-attribute” magical power.
It was probably the biggest facial expression change I’ve ever seen.
“Could you please step away for a moment?”
I separated the {defense shield} of “non-attribute” magical power surrounding my entire body from my body and removed the black tea that had been soaked in it.
Wow..
“You may have already noticed, but my magical power doesn’t seem to contain any attributes.”
“Unless you are sensitive to other people’s magic like the principal, there are many cases in which you cannot easily sense it no matter how close you are.”
I succeeded in arousing her interest.
I take off my [black silk glove] for a moment, put it down, and unfold my left hand, which shows a crack-shaped burn mark.
Then, so that she could see more closely, the “nothingness” attribute magic within her body was strongly condensed to form a disk-shaped {defense shield}.
‘A haze that seems to distort space…’
'This is definitely a phenomenon that occurs when magical power is released from the outside.'
Only then did Jerin, who sensed Dahein’s magic, put down the transfer document he was holding to look closer and started pulling his hand.
The corners of his eyes, which had been tired just a moment ago, were suddenly becoming lively, and he began to roll his eyes in wonder, as if he were seeing magic.
'It’s the first time in my life that I’ve experienced such a clean feeling and magic power.. I don’t even feel any foreign body sensation.'
'Why didn’t I ever think that this kind of magic existed?'
It’s been about 5 minutes since Gerlin’s behavior stopped…
It wasn’t difficult or tiring, but she seemed to be worried about something and no longer wanted to go through my transfer process.
"Um.. Principal?"
just as expected. Maybe they can’t hear my voice, but they don’t even reply.
Gerlin, who was jotting down things as they came to mind, took out books here and there and then began to hastily move somewhere.
The moment I was waiting so endlessly.
Crash!!
A small hidden door right next to the large door opens loudly and someone steps in with hasty steps and looks around.
"Sister Jerin!! “Here’s the young master!?”
A familiar male voice can be heard even without looking back.
I was able to immediately recognize who the owner of this voice was.
"Teacher Zeright?"
The moment when Zelight’s gaze suddenly appeared and was about to turn to me.
Looking at Gerlin, who was soon lost in his own world and immersed in research, he lowered his head and began to sigh deeply.
“under..”
For some reason, it was a moment when I understood how Teacher Jeright was feeling.
