Growth Booster. (1)

At the time when Yuria was declaring war on the princess again, Rudis and Piana.

“So, you want me to teach you the next level of magic?”

“Yes. I understand that you may be surprised that I am doing this again after insisting that I will not learn. But… “

We were talking in the woods inside the academy, with no students around.

“Okay. Why are you making such excuses? Since you said you’d learn now, I’ll just teach you as your teacher.”

“… Aren’t you angry?”

If it were my old teacher, I would have kicked her and said, “I told you I didn’t like it!” but she furrowed her eyebrows as if she was dumbfounded and quietly approached me, pushing me over.

-Thud.

“Let’s eat. Did you bring it?”

“Yes? Oh, yes.”

And then, as if it were a given, my teacher lowered his butt between my legs, took a chocolate bar out of his pocket, and started eating it slowly.

They say that a child’s growth is different from yesterday to today, but the teacher, who was not even a child, had taken on the appearance of a girl who looked to be between 14 and 16 years old.

I had no idea what the teacher was thinking. I took out my sandwich and started eating it so as not to upset the teacher who didn’t seem too happy even though he said he would teach me without question.

“Ouch.”

“Ugh.”

For a moment, the only sound that could be heard in the forest was the two of us chewing bread and chocolate.

I find it a bit amusing to reminisce about the past when I used to eat like this while training with my teacher, but then I realize that it was the opposite. A hollow laugh overflows as I think about it.

“Fucking disciple.”

“Yes.”

“What is your relationship with the princess?”

“Huh?”

The sight of my teacher, who had finished chewing all the chocolate before me, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and then looking up at me made me feel like I had a cute and pretty little sister, if only she hadn’t said anything.

But what she was asking was a bit of a sensitive question for me, what kind of relationship I have with the current princess and the Coti Royal Labyrinth.

So, there was no time to quietly admire her beautiful appearance.

‘But… what is their real relationship?’

I definitely like her, and I think the princess likes me quite a bit too.

But she never confessed her love to me, and I was afraid that I was mistaken, so I just kept a distance that I thought was appropriate, and I was healed by her cheerful appearance.

She is someone who is definitely precious to me now, because she makes me feel the youth that I never felt before, but if you ask me if she is my precious ‘lover’, then that is definitely not the case.

So, can we define our relationship as friends?

“Looking at the fact that there’s no immediate answer, it looks like we’re not dating.”

“… Well, I’ve never met a woman I like.”

“You cowardly little bastard.”

“Please tell me it’s realistic.”

“No, that’s right, you cowardly little bastard.”

The master, who had instantly turned his disciple into a cowardly brat, began to burrow into my arms and press his back even closer as if to prevent me from escaping.

Well, this pose is a bit awkward.

“If there’s a woman you like, she’s here.”

“Teacher?”

“Yeah, if I hated you, would I have raised you as my disciple?”

“Haha! I like you too, Master.”

“… Idiot.”

When I turned my head because my teacher’s behavior seemed a little different from usual, she would say something harsh like, “You’re a real idiot,” then bury her face in my clothes, close her eyes, and shut her mouth.

Hmm… I guess it smells good because the body has grown bigger, but this is a bit scary.

Of course, the teacher who raised me is a woman with an appearance that is somewhat unpleasant by the standards of people in this world.

A world that hates black, and loathes blackness and black magic.

In such a world, the black magician master with long, silky black hair, dark blue eyes that are almost black, and who wears black clothes that fit his body tightly is a person who many people find repulsive.

However, in my eyes as a reincarnated person, she is just a black-haired beauty. So it is only natural that I see her as an attractive woman.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can treat my master, who has now become a magician, as a ‘woman’.’

“Master?”

“Shut your mouth. You shouldn’t be paid for teaching magic.”

“Is this the price?”

“Yeah, like today during lunch time, don’t let those who won’t help us train during our priest’s training time. That’s the price.”

“Oh, Chunshik hyung told me to teach the princess.”

“You just have to teach during class. That’s why I asked what the relationship is. Is there a problem?”

“Um…nope.”

I felt like I was being interrogated, but when I saw the Master’s face smiling happily as if he was finally satisfied, I thought to myself that it didn’t matter.

The time has come for the Master to look at me and smile like this, so there is no reason to blow this situation by nitpicking this and that.

In the past, I would play with her like a little girl, stroking her head and hugging her, but now that I have started to go where I want to and come out of my teacher’s room, I have nowhere to put my hands, so I just rest my head on my hand and enjoy a peaceful lunch break without any problems.

When I was quietly enjoying the summer breeze in the forest for a while without saying anything.

-Slurp.

“… Okay. Now let’s learn some magic.”

“Oh, can you tell me right now without resting a bit more?”

“You probably still have a lot of time to rest. Your skills won’t improve even if you keep doing this. Didn’t you say you’d win the ranking match? “

“That’s right.”

The teacher stood up, as if she was sorry for leaving him behind, but also as if she had done something, and she shook off her skirt and began to use her magic power little by little.

“You said you reached level 4 in black magic.”

“Yes.”

“Me too. Usually, it’s a path that only those who have learned up to level 3 magic can climb, but how on earth did you manage to do so?”

“That’s right. I don’t understand it either.”

Of course, it was thanks to the reincarnation cheat, but I didn’t have the confidence to explain it to my teacher, so I just shrugged my shoulders. My teacher shook his head and said, “Another secret?” and then created [Black Hand] with ‘Muyeongchang’.

“You can use a catalyst. Just make it.”

“[Black Magic] [Lv.1] [Black Hand]”

I thought there was no need to use a catalyst to receive lessons, so I immediately chanted and created a black hand. The teacher evaluated my magic skills by saying, “You’ve gotten faster.” Then he slowly attached his black hand to my hand and made us lock hands?

“As you know, this is a review. Black Hand is a binding magic, so its attack power is almost non-existent. And it is the most useful and difficult magic among level 1 magic.”

“That’s why I think that a black magician who knows how to perfectly control the black hand is the standard for practicing level 2 black magic.”

I quietly nod in my heart to her explanation, which is completely different from the textbook or the professor’s, and which is based on her own standards.

There are many different ways to learn magic in this world, but after going to the Royal Academy and seeing the professors and textbooks that teach magic, I was able to confirm once again how great a person our teacher is.

When all magicians sit still and study magic or seek out magic books to level up their skills and learn magic.

Because only the Master found a training method that emphasized practical training and the use of magical power, just as it was described in the novel, and taught that method to the magicians of the Black Tower and to me, Nora, his disciples.

Thanks to that, Nora and I, who entered the academy, were given preferential treatment as students who learned and used magic faster than the other students, and I, well… you know, that’s what happened.

“… Magic is a skill of practice. All magic is linked to magic at each level. For example, what magic do you think [Thorn Needle] at level 2 is linked to?”

“Black Hand, and is it connected to the Black Swamp of Level 2?”

“Hmm. The image is well drawn. But it’s wrong. It’s magic created by linking the two things, the Spear of Darkness and the Sword of Darkness.”

“Oh… “

I was a little surprised to learn that what I had said, expecting it to be the correct answer since I had made her use her black hand, was actually the teacher’s induction, but I continued to listen to her, and she continued her somewhat boring but interesting theory lecture for about five minutes before giving her conclusion.

“That is, if you use magic according to the current theory that draws the image of magic, its power degenerates and weakens. It’s not just about black magic. Many modern magics are said to have been improved to be ‘easier to use’, but in reality, they have only degenerated into low-level magic that anyone can use. Of course, even though I say this, I don’t think that the degenerated improvement is wrong. I just don’t intend to follow it unconditionally. I have also simplified and reduced the stages of learning magic by grafting their improvements onto my own theory. “

“So from now on I… “

“From now on, you will use [Dark Sword] [Dark Spear] to change your black hand that is caught in my black hand into black thorns and escape. If you escape my binding magic that way, the path to level 2 magic will open.”

“Just for reference, how long did it take Nora?”

“It took a little less than a week.”

The Master’s method is to simplify the image in its current form, but to use the ‘Sword of Darkness’ and ‘Spear of Darkness’ for squeezing out magical power and for casting.

‘Hmm… isn’t this more difficult?’

Nora already had a lot of magical power, so it would have been difficult to control it. It’s understandable that it took her nearly a week this way.

And the Master, after giving me instructions, yawned and yawned as if he knew that it would never work out in one go, and was spreading rumors that he was suffering from anorexia.

“Hmm. If Nora takes a week, I guess it’ll take an hour.”

“?… Phew! If you succeed within an hour, you can pat my head!”

“Huh? Is that a reward?”

“Of course! What greater reward can there be?”

I can’t help but smile when I see my master proudly saying that stroking the black magician’s crown is the greatest reward in the world.

Certainly, stroking the hair of the teacher who had become difficult was addictive.

“Hot! That’s what you promised?”

“Kick! Did you try it? It took me two days to make this method and implement it.”

The confident expression of the Master who said that it would absolutely not work. And I wanted to tease her judgment that she still looked down on my ability to use my magical power, so I made full use of the magical power I had received from God and had been practicing without resting for a single day.

“[Black Magic] [Lv. 2] [Thorn Needle]”

-Kwagagagagak!

“… ?”

“30 minutes would have been enough, not 1 hour.”
