Episode 1085
“…Let’s go and see.”
Derete, who had given up, changed the subject.
Now that things had been resolved, it was time to tell the good news to the mansion’s owner, Bulselek.
As the servant ran to deliver the news, Bullselek immediately ran out.
“Really? The demon has been dealt with!”
“Yes. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Thank you so much…”
bang!
Bullselek, who had forgotten his pride and was trying to express his gratitude with joy, was startled by the mansion door suddenly opening.
‘Did I miss any demons?!’
But what came in wasn’t a demon. It was Yukveltyre, panting.
“……”
“……”
Diret and Stedal Nago averted their gaze. Yukveltyre’s fingertips trembled.
“What, what is it?”
Coholti, who had no idea what was going on, asked in confusion.
Why did Yukveltire come alone?
“Why has this wizard come alone now?”
“I think I got lost. Don’t worry about it.”
At Diret’s words, Yukveltire’s fingertips began to vibrate even more intensely. Stedal Nago also added a word.
“The capital is so crowded that it’s easy to get lost.”
“Well… I should have provided a guide. I’m sorry.”
The students of the Black Magic School were babbling about the unexpected conversation.
“Senior Yukveltire, did you get the wrong way?”
“I just found out.”
Taking advantage of the momentary paralysis caused by his friend’s anger, Diret moved quickly.
At this time, I couldn’t have predicted how much trouble I would have later if I didn’t receive the compensation and distribute it.
“Thank you for the compensation. Okay. I’ll give it to you now.”
“Yes? You can put it all in the school safe. In fact, my senior already did it all.”
“What are you talking about, Dirimpa? And without money, you won’t be able to do anything in the capital.”
“There’s no need to spend money. Just do some magic in your room…”
“……”
“……”
Kohlti and the other students looked at each other with pitiful eyes.
Unlike the Dirimpa, their eyes looked like they needed gold.
“…Okay, everyone, take it quickly.”
“Thank you, sir!”
“Why are you so thankful? Okay.”
Bullselek watched the wizards’ conversation with a pleased face.
Even though it was my own mistake, it was heartwarming to see the Einrogard wizards sharing the reward so warmly.
“I was worried because of the rumors about the warlocks… The warlocks of Ainrogard are truly polite and honest people!”
“…What are those people doing over there?”
Bullselek turned his head at the voice coming from behind him.
Raphael, a distant relative of the family and a young genius, was looking into the mansion with a face of astonishment.
“Ah. Raphael! You’re here! It’s nothing. Everything’s taken care of.”
“No… That’s… Why… Those people…?”
Raphael stuttered.
In fact, it wasn’t widely known within the family that Raphael belonged to the dark magic school.
Only close family members knew, and since Raphael didn’t reveal that he was a black magic school, other relatives didn’t know which school he belonged to.
“Right. Since you’re a member of Ainroguard, you might have met people here before. Even though they’re from different schools, they’re the same school!”
‘guy…’
‘You didn’t say anything.’
The seniors of the black magic school looked at their juniors with understanding eyes.
If you belong to a family that cares about their reputation, it might be a little embarrassing to reveal that you are a member of the Dark Magic School. The seniors understood that feeling very well.
“Let me help you. But you’re my junior.”
“I guess we need to get to know each other. By the way, what school did you say you belong to?”
While the seniors were whispering, Bulselek also asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, Raphael. What school did you say you were in?”
“that is…”
Raphael blinked repeatedly at the bewildered question.
It was such an unexpected situation that I felt like my mind was going blank.
Can I hide the fact that I’m a black magician? Won’t my seniors be offended? What will happen if I reveal it? More importantly, why is that bastard Wodanaz in that position?
Coholti, who couldn’t stand to watch, opened his mouth.
“The junior is from the Buyeo magic school.”
…the problem was that it wasn’t just Kohulty who opened his mouth.
“It’s the school of precognitive magic.”
“The School of Transmutation Magic…”

Other seniors also came up with the names of good schools they thought of to help their juniors.
Thanks to that, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. It was a very awkward silence.
“……”
“……”
“Oh, no. Is it possible to attend so many schools? Raphael? What if you go crazy??”
‘Your words are too harsh.’
Lee Han was furious inside.
Raphael looked at his seniors. Then he looked at his disguised friend.
A determined light sparkled in Raphael’s eyes.
“…I’m actually a member of the black magic school!”
“What? You’re saying you’re listening to all those schools!?”
“Ah, no… just the black magic school…”
* * *
Fortunately, Bullselek was not ashamed of the fact that his family’s genius was learning magic at the school of black magic.
Rather, I was surprised to learn that he was my direct senior and insisted on treating him properly.
“Wow. You’re a nice person.”
“Right. Right.”
“……”
Raphael was sitting with his head down in embarrassment. Lee Han tried to comfort him.
“Raise your head. Raphael. You are a good relative.”
“Why are you acting like that…”
“If I talk about it, it will get longer.”
“……”
Coholty asked as if he didn’t understand.
“We were trying to package it as a good school, so why did you insist on revealing that it’s a school of black magic?”
“No, but why the School of Gift Magic? If it was the School of Precognition Magic, then I would have accepted it.”
“The school of transmutation magic is more…”
“The Buyeo Magic School is better. Look at the income.”
“Instead, the fact that you’re related to Professor Burdus is attached to you.”
When the seniors started arguing over something really useless, Raphael spoke urgently.
“There are things I have learned through hard work, and I don’t want to hide them.”
“…!”
“guy…”
The seniors looked slightly moved.
I never would have thought that the guy who had been bragging about coming to destroy black magic when he first came in would show such affection for the school.
Kohulty didn’t understand and thought to himself.
‘Why is it that our school doesn’t have any money, but everyone gets along better than other schools?’
Even after hearing this, he was so moved that he put his hand on Raphael’s shoulder.
“Excellent. Wizard.”
“…Please stop…”
Raphael waved his hand away as if he was very displeased and asked.
“More importantly, why are you here?”
“I came here to deal with the demon summoning at the mansion. It was caught here like this.”
“?!”
Raphael was shocked by the unexpected words.
But the surprises were only just beginning.
“But that demon was the one who brought the angel, so Senior Yukveltire was here to negotiate with the angel…”
“?!!!”
“Nago-nim helped me too.”
“hmm.”
“……”
Raphael stared at his disguised classmate with his mouth wide open.
What the hell is this kid doing?
“You negotiated with an angel?!”
“Right. Come to think of it, the Grahl family has angelic blood mixed in them.”
Lee Han belatedly remembered his friend’s bloodline.
Didn’t they say that the blood of angels was mixed in during the time of our ancestors?
“There really is nothing you don’t know, Nago!”
Coholti rubbed his palms together and flattered. Raphael turned his head left and right at that ugly sight, looking at each side once.
What the hell is going on here?
‘Wodananaz…! What are you doing, seriously…!’
However, there was no change in the expression on Lee Han’s face, or rather, on Stedal Nago’s face. Raphael shuddered at the sight of that cold expression.
Is this the level of cool-headedness you need to have to be the top student in your class!?
“Do you have any advice for me about angels?”
“Advice is… well…”
Raphael suppressed the urge to shout, “Stop disguising yourself, you brat!” and focused his thoughts.
Are there any stories about angels that have been passed down through your family?
“…First of all, most of the celestial beings are close to single-minded.”
“I see.”
“It’s rare that we come into contact with them, but there are very rare cases where we contract with them. That’s what happened with our family’s ancestors…”
Contracts with spirits, angels, or demons leave traces, big or small, on the soul.
Depending on the depth of the trace, the characteristics are expressed in descendants.
“In that respect, I would say that the most important thing is the first impression.”
“First Impressions?”
“As I said, the celestials are stubborn. If you want to make a contract, you have to persuade them properly at the first meeting. Otherwise, it will be difficult…”
“…What about the opposite?”
Raphael hesitated at Stedal Nago’s question.
I didn’t understand what it meant.
“Are you against it?”
“So, what if you don’t want to sign a contract?”
“When we first meet, I have to make sure that it has nothing to do with the angel’s purpose…?”
“If that fails, what should we do next time we meet?”
“…If that fails, isn’t it just over? I wonder if the angel won’t chase after me until the contract is made.”
“……”
Lee Han, who didn’t get the answer he wanted, became serious.
‘This kid. He doesn’t know anything.’
It seemed that his true feelings had been conveyed to Raphael as well. Raphael shouted in a resentful voice.
“No, if a spirit fails a contract once, it’s virtually impossible to make another contract with the same spirit, so why do you expect that from only angels…”
“Oh my! Raphael! What kind of rudeness is this!”
When Coholti pretended to scold him, Raphael almost went crazy.
No, this graduate is real!
Derek, who could no longer stand to watch, stepped in to mediate.
“Everyone, stop. More importantly, what brings you here?”
“Ah. I came here to prepare the things I need to bring for the new semester. They said they would give me some magic items I don’t use…”
“What are you going to bring in? How are you going to bring it in?”
The seniors were puzzled.
Unless you’re a fifth grader, you probably wouldn’t be able to confidently say that about bringing stuff into the new semester.
You can get caught smuggling at any time and get robbed.
“Wodanaz said he would take it in.”
The seniors were silent at Raphael’s answer.
And I thought.
‘Second graders are really unlucky!’
Even though he was a junior from the same school whom I cherished, seeing him living happily thanks to one friend made me feel an inexplicable jealousy well up inside me.
Why didn’t we have friends like that back in our day???
* * *
As the end of vacation slowly became apparent, the second-year students slowly began to pack their bags.
I always feel this way, but no matter how much I prepare to bring to Ainrogard, it’s never enough. There are always things that I think, ‘I should have brought this!’
“??”
Eandurde and Alhi did not understand their seniors’ actions.
Obviously, bringing in outside materials would have been prohibited, so why are the seniors preparing so calmly?
“I have a question.”
Alhi, who happened to see Gainando passing by, opened his mouth.
Gainando looked at him with surprise and wariness. He was worried that this bright first-year junior would ask him a difficult magic question.
“What, what is it? By the way, I’m busy.”
“I’m sorry. Let me ask you something simple. Do you have any way to get these items in?”
“Huh? Yeah. Lee Han said he’d take it. I heard there’s a new way to smuggle it. He said there’s plenty of space.”
“That, that… is surprising. Is this a favor bestowed on us because we are from the same tower?”
“No? The other top guys do it too?”
“…I’m really surprised. Are you… perhaps doing this only this time? For a high price?”
Alhi asked questions in order to somehow protect the world in his head.
However, Gai Nando, who did not know the desperate feelings of his junior, answered honestly.
“You did it for me last time too? I just did the smuggling. I get paid for cooking, so what’s the point of smuggling…”
“……”
“……”
Gainando didn’t notice that the two juniors’ eyes were turning into jealousy and hatred.
