EP.47 Enlightenment, and growth (3)
Professor of Mana Transactions, Roselle Van Trias.
He is sitting in the professor’s office, sipping a cup of coffee, and smiling softly. If another professor or student had seen that, they would have been very surprised.
‘Professor Rossell is smiling!’
He must have made a fuss by saying those things. Because that look would never match the usual Roselle.
Rossell is a professor who is always sharp and never shows his emotions. When a professor like that smiles even a little, there is usually only one reason.
‘You work hard.’
Roselle’s gaze is directed at his student who is diligently moving his hands in the corner of the professor’s room. She has been sitting down and writing something for several hours now.
‘The reason that kid gets so worked up…’
It was a sight I often saw until five years ago.
However, this is the first time the student has seen him when he returns after 5 years. Old thoughts came to mind, and Roselle smiled as she sipped her coffee.
“I miss you.”
Hearing Rosell mutter those words, Raniel raised his head. He looks at Roselle and tilts his head.
“yes? “What did you say?”
“Well, it’s nothing. I think I distracted you. sorry.”
“It’s almost finished so it’s okay.”
Would you like to take a look?
So Raniel asks. Roselle walked to his disciple’s seat.
The professor’s office in charge of mana trading is spacious, but only Raniel and Roselle use this large room. Because of this, the partitions were opened and the connected desks were long.
Among the documents arranged on the table, Roselle picked up the document that said lesson plan.
“Let’s see.”
Leaning against the desk, Rossell checks the plan.
‘It’s definitely different from the previous plan.’
The content is systematic. Unlike the previous plan, which was vague, it appears to have been clearly organized. Above all, I really like the annotations marked with stars.
* You can do that, but never say the same line.
A smile spreads across Rosell’s lips.
‘McHart, it looks like you learned a lot from that professor.’
Confirmation of the plan was completed quickly.
Raniel asked Rosell, who was putting down the paper, his eyes sparkling. The look is full of anticipation.
“How about this?”
“It wasn’t bad. “If I keep teaching like this, there won’t be many things I can teach in the future.”
Roselle nodded with satisfaction.
It was a worthy cause that caused several professors to cancel classes over the past ten days.
‘Once you get the hang of it, the child grows quickly from then on.’
Rossell believes in that monstrous growth rate.
All you can do is give small advice and guide the direction little by little.
‘Advice, advice…’
Roselle, who was about to return to his seat, stopped for a moment.
Now that I think about it, there was one thing that stuck with the documents.
“There is one thing that makes me question something.”
“yes?”
“How are you going to handle this ‘best circuit analysis students can draw’ section of the paper? “If it’s going to be an assignment, you’ll have to go to the next class.”
The level of Aplia students is by no means low.
There are also students who can draw top-level spell circuits.
‘But you won’t be able to draw during class?’
From what Rosell remembers, Raniel’s classes last about an hour to an hour and a half. And, drawing a top-level order circuit from scratch using students’ skills would take at least 40 to 50 minutes.
“Wouldn’t it be too hard to ask during class?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
When Roselle asks that question, Raniel takes out the paper he had piled up next to him. This paper is prepared according to the number of students.
“I prepared this for you.”
“·····.”
Roselle looks at the paper in silence.
The material itself is unique.
‘···Did I see something wrong?’
Rossel’s expression hardens as he examines the paper.
“wait for a sec. Rania, this…”
“Yes, it’s a circuit log. “A piece of paper with the Memorize spell on it so that you can immediately transfer the circuit that comes to mind.”
Paper with a memorize spell on it.
Rossel is also well aware of the so-called circuit recorder. Because it was also a worksheet used to record difficult questions at the Horse Society.
But that’s not what surprised Rosell.
‘It must be really expensive, right?’
This is the price of this circuit recording sheet. If Rossel remembers correctly, a bundle of circuit sheets costs as much as a month’s budget for most labs.
‘Even if I can’t do it, it looks like it’s over 40 or 50 pages…’
No wonder, Roselle asked Raniel.
“Rania.”
“yes?”
“Is all of this a circuit record?”
“yes? No, I only received ten tickets.”

···first?
“If only…?”
“The Lord of the Dark Tower said he would engrave it himself. “I’m going to pick it up later.”
“Are you planning on handing it out to all the students?”
“yes? of course. If you give something to someone and not give it to someone else, it is discrimination. “It should be given fairly.”
With a thud, Roselle hit his forehead.
“Where on earth did you get that kind of money?”
“When I opened the card, it was piled up.”
“What?”
Raniel tilted his head, rummaged through his robe and took out a small card. This is a card issued by the government with a gold coin storage magic.
‘Are you sure they said they would put the drivers’ salaries on that card? The stored money can be withdrawn without any special process.’
While Roselle was thinking this, Raniel infused mana into the card. Soon, a number appears on the card.
“It piled up like this.”
Roselle narrows her eyes and calculates the amount.
One hundred thousand, one million, ten million…
Roselle blinked at the endless number of digits.
“···What is all this?”
“I think I received a lot of compensation for the subjugation, special training, some kind of rescue operation reward, etc., but I’ve just opened it too.”
“···What about travel funds?”
“yes? Even the article support was enough. “Kyle and the other bitches… I think I used it to buy clothes and hang out, but there has to be a time when I can use it.”
While saying that, Raniel laughs bitterly.
“You saved a lot, right?”
Roselle couldn’t laugh.
‘···little?’
That?
Although it was only a moment, the student in front of him looked a little different in Roselle’s eyes. Even though he is an elder of the Gray Magic Tower, he is not pushed aside due to his wealth…
‘Isn’t this a bit different…?’
The amount recorded on the card was by no means something to laugh at. To put it bluntly, the amount was enough to build a magic tower.
2.
“You know, Kyle.”
“Why are you doing this, Sarah?”
“This time, I’m trying to set up all the equipment, will it be okay?”
Kyle glances at the catalog Sarah brought.
These are clothes made at the Black Magic Tower.
Clothing that has been ordered in stock.
Below it, there is a warning that only small special productions are accepted.
“This looks good to me too.”
This time Remia hands over a catalog.
It is an armor introduced as a collaboration between an elf and a black magic tower. There is a large advertising text on the elves’ clothing that says a spell has been engraved on it.
“·····.”
Kyle glances at Remia and Sara in silence.
The clothes they are currently wearing are also specially made armor and priest uniforms from the Black Magic Tower.
I bought that a while ago.
Kyle recalls a memory.
There was no need to search for long memories. I remember it was probably less than a month.
‘Hasn’t it been a while since you bought it?’
Kyle, who was about to ask that question, closed his mouth for a moment. I looked at Sara and Remia.
“huh? Kyle? “Why not?”
“Kyle likes it especially tonight…”
Eyes are sparkling.
Naturally, he pushes his body and fawns.
“·····.”
Kyle faces those burdensome gazes and thinks about the things he received as compensation this month.
‘···What percentage is the VIP customer discount?’
When I put the money I had now and the percentage of the discount on the scale, the answer came out quickly.
‘Really, it’s getting easier.’
If you report damaged equipment to the kingdom, you may receive some compensation.
“···Okay, let’s go buy it tomorrow.”
“Hurray!”
“Thank you, Kyle!”
Leaving Sarah and Remia behind, who were cheering, Kyle touched his temple.
‘Travel necessities… will again take the form of a loan.’
Anyway, if you call him a hero, he will lend you something.
However, it is also true that the view these days is not the same as it was in the past. Kyle also guesses the reason.
-···Isn’t the Gray Wizard there?
-Now that I think about it, you said you were retired.
-Ashen Wizard…
Merchants keep mentioning his name. Then, after confirming that Raniel was not there, she frowned. One day, he even said this.
-Kyle, I’m a little sorry to tell you this, but the reason we’ve been lending it to you for free is because the Gray Wizard often visits our village and takes care of petty demon beast subjugations.
-The protective circuit that the Gray Wizard personally created behind the scenes…
-Raniel gave me some money from behind…
Meanwhile, the merchants show a subtle hint.
‘Is there anything I can give you?’
It seemed as if he was asking that question.
“·····.”
Kyle frowned.
I raise my head slightly and glance at Sara and Remia who are cheering. The two are looking at the catalog and admiring the design of the black magic tower.
I can’t believe I’m looking at that.
-Are these f*cking idiots turning around?
A familiar voice lingers in my ears.
-Hey, it’s been so long since you bought it, are you buying it again? Do you guys get money by digging in the ground? What the f*ck? Do you need this? The only spell on the circuit is cleanliness?
-Cancel the order immediately. Before I tear up everything you’re wearing.
Words that existed in a corner of Kyle’s mind.
The image of the gray-haired wizard spouting those words flashes before my eyes.
“·····.”
Kyle threw his head back.
Today, I missed him especially.
3.
The top floor of the Black Magic Tower.
Matapju, Yetual’s personal laboratory and office.
There was one guest there.
This is not a visit, but an invited guest. The specialness of the guest can be seen in the fact that Yetual, who rarely receives guests, personally invited him.
“·····.”
Yetual silently glanced at the guest sitting across from him. He is currently a person who is garnering a lot of attention in the royal capital.
Rania van Trias.
She blinks and looks at the office. She notices something interesting.
‘···It’s a good thing if you’re interested.’
Yetual nodded, pleased with that fact.
“Do you have any questions?”
When Yetual asked that question, the girl nodded slightly. Then he stretched out his finger and pointed at the magazine.
‘That’s…’
It was a catalog introducing high-quality clothing with engraved circuits that the Black Magic Tower was proud of.
“You mean that catalog?”
“Well, it’s a project that the Black Magic Tower is pursuing. “Are you interested?”
Yetual said this and glanced at the girl’s clothes. Even on the outside, the outfit is unusual.
‘···It even has the royal family symbol on it.’
It means that it was a gift from the royal family.
Although it was not as good as the circuit engraving technology of the Black Magic Tower, the royal family’s technology of feeding mana to the fabric itself was top-notch.
‘···Are you interested in clothes?’
If so, it may be a little expensive, but you can give at least one set as a gift. That would be a small price to pay to win the favor of a wizard like this.
‘Let’s see, what’s left of the fabric…’
While Yetual was thinking such things, the girl shook her head.
“No, that’s not it.”
“then?”
“There are customers next to me as VIPs, right?”
She pointed to this month’s VIP item in the catalog. More precisely, the initial K located at the top of the item.
“Ah, you are the VIP of our Black Magic Tower.”
Yetual shrugged his shoulders.
Although it was written with initials, Yetual knows its identity.
Since the beginning of the clothing business, customer K. has never missed a single new product.
‘The warrior, Kyle.’
Because that person was none other than the warrior Kyle.
‘The money spent alone was enough to build a magic tower.’
Thanks to this, the Black Magic Tower’s clothing business was able to successfully expand its size.
“You are a very grateful customer. Well, it might be difficult to tell you the identity of that customer. “The customer’s identity must be protected.”
“No, I’m not really curious about his identity.”
the girl asked a question.
“That customer, K, is he still making a lot of purchases?”
“hmm? You renewed your VIP status in last month’s catalog as well. “You are purchasing it consistently.”
In response, the girl made a very subtle expression. It was a strange expression that seemed either dumbfounded or exhilarated.
Then, as if she had come to a conclusion, the girl nodded slightly and opened her mouth.
“Lord of the Dark Tower.”
“Why is that so?”
“When releasing a new product, the quality of the circuitry is not important, just choose a pretty design.”
“···What does that mean?”
Yetual tilted his head.
“Just try it like that.”
Rania said with a faint smile.
“It will sell well.”
A word from the author (author review)
One side is growing…
One side is neither realizing nor growing.
I often see comments asking about the warrior party, so I tried to write it in a slightly humorous way. Of course, you would have expected a serious feeling, not this light one…
I’m saving up on that related material!
*The serialization was a little slow this week, right? I think it was a bit late because there was a lot to think about during the lecture scene. There was also a bit of a crazy final assignment from the professor…
Still, I will definitely keep posting 5 times a week!
I’ll try to serialize all 4 of the remaining Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays if possible!
