◈ Episode 25 Black Dawn (2)

‘what. What are you two talking about?’

Rudger was having an in-depth conversation with a female student.

At least it seemed that way to her.

But no matter how attentively I listened, I couldn’t hear the conversation between the two far away.

If it was just that, Flora would have just thought that Rudger was giving career counseling to students, or telling stories related to lectures.

But she saw it with her own two eyes.

A field of strange magic spread around Rudgar and the girl.

‘What is that? Magic? Does the color block out the sound?’

Flora Lumos has a secret she hasn’t told anyone.

The reason why she was able to maintain the title of genius in Seorn.

The reason why he can see through the flaws of magic he has never seen before or magic formulas he has not learned.

That was because Flora Lumos had a special constitution called <Sensation of Mana>.

She could feel the ‘color’ and ‘smell’ of mana.

Most people only perceive mana or magical power itself visually.

Of the five human senses, only sight is the only one that can see the magic techniques used by others.

But Flora feels color in addition to that.

She sees a well-crafted magic formula as a picture, and feels it as the scent of a delicious dish.

Being born in an aristocratic family, she is so sensitive to such things that it is easier than anyone else to find out the difference between a spell and a slight deviation.

It is unusually out of harmony with other colors and bounces, or a bad smell is mixed in between the normal smells.

Flora always found the ‘wrong’ magic.

Naturally, even when she feels the magic properly, she sees it with a completely different sense than other people.

Like the colors floating around Rudgar right now.

As befits a teacher whose checks didn’t work, the magic technique spread around Ludger was also perfect without any point to point out.

I couldn’t smell it because it was far away, but the color of magic was very clear through the glass window of the terrace.

‘To the point of having a conversation while using magic. What are you talking about?’

I was curious.

If it was an ordinary teacher, I would have just ignored it, but when I heard that the other was Rudger, I couldn’t help but be curious.

‘Shall we pretend it’s just a coincidence?’

After thinking that far, Flora shook her head. Isn’t that too deceitful?

And it seemed like he was interested.

‘Absolutely not!’

Rudger was a wall he had to overcome.

On the first day, what a humiliation she felt in front of everyone.

Of course, there was no dispute about the defeat itself.

Her pride would not allow her to criticize her opponent for losing in a fair duel.

The magic of the source code that Ludger showed was so strong that this side had no choice but to be defeated.

I had never heard of such magic before.

So, she jumps over him with pure magic. Just like he always has been.

‘still… … Something was strange.’

When Rudger unleashed the source code magic, Flora was a sensation she had never seen before.

Indescribable visual pleasure and sweet scent.

In particular, Ludger’s source code magic was like seeing a beautiful picture in which countless silver and gray metals were densely and firmly put together.

Because of Flora Lumos’ unique constitution and talent, she was proud of magic itself and now even felt bored.

However, the source code shown by Rudger rekindled her feelings of boredom.

If there is anything else, I thought I would like to see more.

However, there was also an image that had been built up until now, so Flora was in a situation where she could not move hastily.

‘One swipe… … .’

The moment Flora is about to move.

“Flora? What are you doing here?”

“Kyaaak?!”

Flora couldn’t help but stand upright in surprise at the sudden voice from behind.

When he turned around, his best friend, Cheryl, was staring at him with a puzzled look.

“Sher, this is Cheryl. What are you doing here?”

“What’s going on? It was Flora who asked me to study together in the reading room.”

“Oh, oh right. It did?”

“… … Are you really okay?”

Cheryl gave her a slightly worried look.

It is already well known that Flora got into trouble on the first day of Ludgar’s expression line class.

Because of this, some of the students who usually cherished Flora laughed at her.

Cheryl was worried about that.

“Yes? Just~. Nothing.”

“What is there? It looks like you were watching.”

“no no. It’s not like that. Let’s go study.”

“Hmm.”

Flora pushed Cheryl on the back and headed for the library.

Even so, her gaze did not leave the second floor of the distant cafe.

Having obtained the information from Sedina Roshen, I left a message to see her next time and returned to my private office.

I hung my coat on a hanger, sat down on the soft sofa, and rested my chin on my hand.

‘Let’s organize it for now.’

There is a place called the School of Shamssus, where warlocks and mad scientists have joined hands. It was this side that turned the werewolf into a test subject.

It is a separate group from the Black Dawn, but it is an alliance that holds hands with each other, or it is about to share the will for a while.

Victor Dreadful, one of the executives of the Black Dawn, joined hands with the Shamsus School.

From Sedina’s explanation, it seems that she is in charge of inventions and research within the Black Dawn.

‘The problem arose with this Shamshus school.’

Three werewolf test subjects secretly experimented on by the Shamsus School escaped.

I don’t know the exact location of the lab, but judging from the riots in Ledervelk, it must be around that area.

Perhaps if this werewolf had been captured early in the incident, rumors had already spread throughout the city. It is impossible to simply cover it up as something that did not exist, as even deaths have occurred.

One of the werewolves even sneaked into Ceorn and put two students in the hospital.

It is fortunate that there are no deaths in Seorn, but the problem is that the situation has become more serious out of control.

‘It’s a mistake on the other side, so it’s right to tell them to take care of it, but the problem is that the Black Dawn Society supported the experiment of the Shamsus School to some extent.’

And there, even Ludgar Celish, the original owner of my status, is intertwined.

If another member gets caught and is being hunted out, I’m very welcome, but it’s different if I intervene here.

It is said that if I want to live, I must catch the werewolf before others.

‘For now, the priority is to get rid of the werewolves hiding inside the academy.’

Just in time, security patrols were reinforced.

Aside from whether or not the werewolf actually exists, it’s certain that there’s a monster roaming inside Ceorn, so the teachers will be patrolling until late at night.

That no one would be surprised if I got rid of werewolves here.

‘I thought I quit my job as a hunter a long time ago.’

Five years ago, he ended his bloody hunt and actually retired temporarily.

The reason was nothing. for being so famous

I took the pseudonym Abraham Van Helsing, of course, to keep my true identity from being discovered.

However, after hunting the monster in Jebodang, I became so famous that there were many people who tried to approach me.

So, I retired from that status and changed my status to a new one.

‘He changed his identity so many times.’

The last identity he used was ‘Gerard’, a wealthy middle-aged man with a lot of money, and after that, he became Ludgar Celish.

It’s a fake life, not real, but I didn’t feel particularly dissatisfied or frustrated.

Is it because I died once and then I was born again in this world?

A little bit, the perception of life and death has changed differently from others.

‘Even so, I don’t want to die again.’

Having already died once, I hated dying even more.

If possible, I wanted to live longer and more comfortably. But in order to do that, there were things that had to be done.

Heading to the capital of the empire this time was part of that.

One of those train terrors changed my life forever.

‘For now, let’s focus on catching the werewolf.’

You have to deal with it first before anyone else finds it.

I racked my brain over how to catch the werewolf.

* * *

Rumors of werewolves were a hot potato among Seorn’s students.

Even the students, who had dismissed it as rumors, accepted the existence of werewolves after hearing that two students were injured this time.

As students, this kind of rumor is especially inflated.

Naturally, teachers had to suppress the students’ curiosity and vigorous energy as much as possible.

“Study study! What nonsense do you believe in! Focus on today’s test! Take care of those who are wrong later.”

“Everyone, this is the week of strengthened patrols, so go back to your accommodations as soon as the sun goes down. If you get caught wandering around, it’s a penalty point.”

“Don’t get penalized and procrastinate, let them buy it for themselves.”

Some timid students at the teachers’ warning thought that they should go back to the dormitory immediately after class, but there were not a few students who didn’t.

Traditionally, the more proud a child is, the more they want to do it when told not to.

“hey. you’re a werewolf Are you honestly curious?”

“What?”

“Let’s catch this.”

“what? Didn’t you hear that if you get caught doing something wrong, you get penalty points?”

“hey. Think about it. That’s what we’re worried about. Rather, if you catch a werewolf, won’t the school reward you for doing well?”

“Then what if the teachers catch you before you even find the werewolf?”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t get caught!”

It was also great that an official letter was published in the newspaper stating that there would be a reward for catching a werewolf in Ledervelk.

In particular, the first graders, who had not yet tasted the bitterness of the reality that they were not that great in Seorn, dreamed of becoming heroes by hunting werewolves.

It is when you are in the prime of your life that you want to be praised for being great and want to show a good image to your peers.

“Aidan. What do you think?”

Leo asked, looking at the students who were already excited about what to do with the reward after catching the werewolf.

Just in time, Aidan, who finished writing down the formula on the magic board, asked back at the sound calling him.

“huh?”

“what. Were you not listening?”

“why? What did you ask?”

“What do you think about the werewolf incident?”

“Oh, is that?”

Aidan smiled shyly.

“Well, since the teachers told me to be careful, I wonder if I should just buy it. If you get caught, they say it’s a penalty point.”

“Tsk. okay. I thought you would say that.”

“What about you, Leo?”

“I’m not the type that likes to go out too. If there are victims in the first place, this is something teachers should take care of.”

As they were having a conversation, a female student approached them.

Red hair tied in two big pigtails. She was a very attractive beauty with slightly raised eyebrows.

She stood in front of Aidan’s desk and slapped the table with her palm.

Leo reacted like ‘That woman is here again’, but Aidan was different. He smiled brightly and greeted the girl who was glaring at him.

“hi. Tacey. Good morning.”

“Good morning?”

The girl who was greeted, Tacy Freeard, rather twitched her eyebrows at Aidan’s greeting.

In response, Leo let out a sigh.

“hey. If you were defeated in Dalian then, isn’t it time to stop?”

“Defeat? it was a draw I still haven’t had a proper decision with Aidan. And this is me and Aidan’s business. Will you stop interfering?”

“Ugh.”

Leo shook his head.

It wasn’t long before Tacy Freeard approached Aidan like this.

The trigger was something that happened during a real-life magic sparring.

Aidan, who did not know anything yet, had a sparring with Teishi, and the relationship between the two began there.

The situation was favorable to Teishi, but the problem was Aidan’s unusual magic.

“Get it right again this time. Without hiding each other’s strength, with all our might.”

“Uh, huh? That, well.”

The confrontation at that time ended with a fairly ambiguous result of a draw, but Teishi could not accept it.

In order to revive Viscount Freead, a family that has now almost collapsed, Tacey has always done her best to study magic and work hard.

Upon entering Seorn, she had the idea that she should be the best in her first year. In fact, her skills were so outstanding that her entrance grades were in the top 5.

However, in the Dalian class, the fact that she could not win a proper victory against a commoner who was outside the ranks and had a loose mindset hurt her pride.

My pride was hurt.

And the magic that Aidan was trying to show at that time.

It was definitely something you don’t normally see. At that time, if the teacher had not announced the end of the sparring, I would have seen what kind of magic it was!

“Anyway, stick today. In the evening after class.”

“I’m sorry, Tacey, but I don’t think I can do it today.”

“Then tomorrow!”

“Tomorrow too… … .”

“why!”

“Why? Yes, there are werewolves out there, but they can’t be active at night. If you get caught by the teachers, it’s a penalty point.”

“Huh.”

At Aidan’s excuse, Teishi crossed her arms, and before long a sneer appeared on her lips.

“Are you using that as an excuse to run away from me? I know everything. Are you scared?”

It was a blatant provocation.

Caught in this, Aidan said, ‘What? It can’t be!’ Teishi expected to exclaim, but Aidan’s reaction was different.

“huh. okay. Then something like that.”

Aidan didn’t want to fight with his friend—though Tacy would vehemently deny it—so he decided to give up his position.

I didn’t expect at all that that grown-up response would damage Tacy’s pride.

Raising her eyebrows, Teishi shouted into Aidan’s face.

“It’s a win! Aidan!”

“huh? What match?”

“If you can’t sparring, can you do something else?”

“No, so that… … .”

“werewolf.”

When the subject came up, Aidan and Leo looked at each other, then back at Tacy.

I was already worried about what kind of outrageous proposal I would come up with.

“Let’s say whoever catches the werewolf first wins the bet. how is it? Surely you won’t get scared and run away?”

“no… … .”

“okay. I will.”

“Leo?!”

Aidan tried to refuse because it was dangerous, but instead he was shocked by Leo’s actions, who intercepted his words.

“good! The loser grants the winner a wish!”

“That person is the one who doesn’t want to be soft.”

To Leo’s provocative tone, Tacey replied, ‘Of course!’ and left.

“Leo. Why did you suddenly accept such an outrageous offer?”

“you idiot. If you say no there, it’s obvious that he’ll bother us again. So I gave it a good fight and passed it on. look. you went right away Peace has finally come.”

“still… … lying is bad I wouldn’t even care about werewolves in the first place.”

“You fool. is that a problem now? The werewolves will be taken care of by the teachers anyway. We can stay still. There is no way the decision will be made in the first place.”

“But Tacey seemed sincere. What if Taysie says she’s going to catch a werewolf by herself, but runs into her before the teachers?”

“hey. Unless he’s an idiot, he wouldn’t do such a reckless thing alone.”

“Uh, um. That’s true, but to be honest, if it’s Tei, I wonder if that’s enough.”

“… … no way.”

Aidan and Leo simultaneously looked back at the back door of the classroom where Tacey had disappeared.

“… … .”

“… … .”

No matter how reckless you would do such a reckless thing.

but.

Can you answer ‘no’ with such confidence?

“… … Is it true?”

“Because it is.”

Right away, Tacy, whom they had seen for the past few days, had the personality to do it.

The owner of a strong personality who will grit his teeth and come back even if it is dangerous.

That was Tacy Freead.

The two of them looked straight out the window without anyone else.

I saw the familiar red hair going somewhere, huffing and puffing.

The direction was not to the women’s dormitory, but to the other side.

It was in the direction of the dangerous forest that teachers had warned us not to go to at the beginning of the semester.

““It was a big deal.””

I had to dry her off.
