Magic Test (1)

… … Ferta floated in the darkness.

I was familiar with the darkness, as if I had been born here from the beginning. Although there is no gravity or light, this place is so cozy and cozy that the thought lingered in my head that I never wanted to open my eyes again.

Thump, thud… Shoot-!!

“Ugh… … !”

What brought him out of the darkness was the cold water droplets that hit his cheek.

When I opened my eyes, I was racing towards the dark clouds. But the body doesn’t move at all. Running was an illusion.

A shower of rain is pouring out of sight… … He just thought he was being led by the clouds.

“… … .”

As he tried to get up, he frowned at the hot pain he felt in his leg.

‘… … ‘Is your leg completely crushed?’

Why is this happening?

I hurriedly tried to put my hands together and cast a spell, but my shoulders and forearms were twisted like a twist and did not take shape.

‘ah.’

Crying!!

Lightning strikes.

Perta could imagine his own appearance. It will probably turn into a horrible mess that cannot be described in words.

The reason was not difficult to guess.

‘… … Is this a side effect of forced space transfer?’

Perta was defeated.

I fell to my knees without being able to do anything due to the combined efforts of Zelka, Ailka, and Citrine.

that… … It was impossible.

It shouldn’t have been that way.

Spider King Kilivion’s powers are probably optimized for hunting ‘rising stars’. No matter how much I deal with blood relatives from the five great magic families and the princess of Herael, who is called the descendant of the sun… … .

In the end, I, who was chosen as ‘the one who brought down the stars’, had to win… … .

-That doesn’t make sense. I was able to escape in a hurry, but I can’t use it anymore.

Damn it! The echoing voice and the sound of footsteps tickled Ferta’s ears.

When I had a hard time turning my head, there was a girl walking shakily like a doll with strings attached.

Ferta squinted his eyes to try to see who she was, but it was difficult because his vision was blurred, and he was even wearing a white spiderweb mask, making it impossible.

Several voices continued to ring out from the girl who was walking shakily like a doll with strings attached.

-Hmm, that’s what I told you!

-That child can’t be used as an ‘avatar’ and his emotions are dead, so he won’t be of any help when it’s time to do it?

-The Spider King Killivion wants a doll with dead emotions. You want to manipulate the contractor as you please.

Several voices murmured from the girl’s head. Perta knew very well who they were. They were members of ‘Del Fael’ who saved him.

This time too, you came to save me.

After thinking that, Perta looked at the girl with difficulty.

-What are you saying?

-He told me to change it.

-I would have gotten a new avatar anyway, Perta. Are you saying that guy is useless?

-Yeah, yeah~ A pretty kid like this is better than a stupid-looking kid like that.

-He will be Killivion’s avatar. Don’t speak carelessly.

“what… … !”

Perta, who only then found out their intentions, tried to resist somehow, but with her limbs completely shattered, she could do nothing but wriggle.

“for a moment… … wait! “I am Killivion’s contract!”

-Huh, see this? He usually acts as if he has no emotions, but when it comes time to die, his eyes become alive.

-Fuhaha! You claim to be Killivion’s contractor? Very funny. Listen carefully, Perta. You are not a contractor, you are just a ‘puppet’. Do you think that just because you are a guardian, you have an equal relationship with anyone as a ‘contract’? Absurd, absurd!

-Kilivion has never had a contractor. He needs a puppet to do his bidding.

-Your body is so damaged anyway. Wouldn’t it be a bit expensive to fix it? So go quietly. Throw away the junk and buy a new one!

-Through this matter, your face has become very well-known. furthermore… … The abilities were also quite disappointing.

“Well, that’s impossible… … .”

Let’s go, let’s go!

The girl’s weak steps slowly approach her. Even though she tried to escape somehow, Perta could not move, unable to overcome her pain.

“Wait a minute, sleep… … “Wow!”

The girl who knelt in front of Perta slowly stretched out both hands and began to strangle him.

I tried to move my neck as hard as I could to resist, but it was a meaningless struggle.

Perta sensed the end and closed his eyes. A drop of water ran down my cheek, but I couldn’t tell if it was a tear or not because of the rain.

‘Is this the end? … .’

I promised myself that I would put my best effort into killing not only my family’s blood, but also my neighbors and friends in the village with my own hands.

It couldn’t have been a truly meaningless death… … .

After the Spire of Radiance incident occurred.

The students who attended the debate at the time began returning to school immediately after receiving sick leave for two to three days.

Not only were there not many students who were injured so badly that they could not get up, but they were more afraid of their upcoming first exam, the FCT (First class test), than they were of the PTSD caused by the attack on an unknown group called Del Fael.

What is FCT? Harang described it as an ordinary midterm exam, but in reality, it was a much more valuable exam.

Students who recorded an exceptional score on this exam were in ‘possible completion status’, and if they submitted a thesis or received recognition from professors, they could obtain a certificate and leave Arniel to officially begin their life as a wizard.

Considering that many students want to build their careers from a young age by somehow earning a certificate rather than earning a diploma at the age of 19, it is only natural to prepare for the exam with your eyes turned on.

Because it was such an important exam, students naturally stayed away from each other and focused on their studies during the exam period. However, this year, it could be said to be a bit of an unusual year as students gathered in small groups to study were still talking about the hot topic.

“Did you hear that? Days.”

“I heard you’re actually a Kaladan blood relative?”

“and. I thought he was a real commoner, how could he fake it… … “I’m disappointed.”

“I thought it was more amazing than disappointing.”

“why?”

“I know because we have a knight among our relatives, but Kaladun can barely open a book since he was young and he trains like hell. At least you can study the text a little bit right before going to sleep, but even then, there are people who pass out from exhaustion from the hellish training, so they practice swordsmanship without knowing how to write at all… … .”

“Do you believe that? “In what day and age are nobles illiterate?”

“Anyway, that means there is not much time to study. “If you studied magic and achieved that level, isn’t it even greater than becoming independent as a commoner?”

“… … “I guess that’s what I heard?”

“That’s why I felt like I was particularly lacking in basics at the beginning of the semester. “I studied hard in certain subjects and achieved great results, but I didn’t have enough time to study all subjects.”

“That shortcoming was completely made up for by Arniel… … .”

“and… … Well, now he’s skilled in swordsmanship and magic. “Is there really anyone who could do something like that?”

“listen. In fact, there is a story that they are not the same age as us.”

“… … “You look much younger than us?”

“I took something like an elixir to become younger. Otherwise, does that make sense? This time, you said you defeated the worst wizard slayer, Mirror Jane? “That’s simply not something someone the same age as us can do.”

“You’re a wizard and you believe in the existence of such a ridiculous potion?”

“I don’t know. “Maybe the alchemists did it.”

The rumor about Harang quickly spread like crazy. Nonsense rumors were spreading as some falsehoods were added to the actual incident.

Nonsensical rumors such as ‘Harang actually took an elixir to become younger’ or ‘Harang is actually a dragon, but he transformed into a human and came out to play’ were examples of such nonsense.

Of course, none of the rumors were true.

Beings that can polymorph into a humanoid form are extremely rare, and even so, they cannot completely fool the wizard’s eyes because they have the appearance of being something other than humanoid.

Besides, it’s a leap forward to become younger. If there was such a thing, kings of various countries would have started wars long ago, claiming to live eternal life.

“Oh, it’s passing by.”

Harang no longer tried to hide his identity.

Her black and white hair was tied tightly in a ponytail to reveal her body shape, and her forearms were also rolled up to reveal subtle muscles.

Before that, he looked weak and had a strong impression that he was somewhat clumsy, but as if he had always been like that, every step he took had strength and his eyes became bright, so no one could describe him as weak.

The professors’ attitude toward him also changed. As for ‘Professor Arniel’, it was safe to say that he was a high-ranking nobleman, but that did not mean he was at a level where he could dare to speak rudely to Kala Dawn.

The professors who had been harassing him until now, thinking he was a commoner Days, would chant his name in a trembling voice no matter who could see him when they called the roll call.

“… … Ha, ha, Paul Calladorn. “Is there one?”

Other students secretly expected Harang to say something against the professors who had been harassing and teasing him, but surprisingly, that didn’t happen.

It was only the professors who were stabbed for no reason that were shaking, and Harang didn’t even remember them all. There are some things I don’t care about, but more than anything.

‘Why bother doing something like that?’

Harang hated talking nonsense the most in the world.

He actually hoped that the professors would focus on class without worrying about his presence.

There is not much time left to live in Arniel, so you will have to use up all the magic you can learn until then.

‘My first goal was to complete [Memory Cube] before receiving the certificate here… … .’

This time, I learned for sure when I completed the [Fluttering Snowflake] spell.

The fact that the shortcomings of swordsmanship and the shortcomings of magic can complement each other.

Even after Arniel’s classes were over, Harang headed to the library and read numerous magic books. Since he could not use [Skill Book Acquisition] often, he purely studied it, but as the knowledge he had previously accumulated in his head through the skill book system was smoothly released, his magic knowledge became bigger, more extensive, and deeper.

The more I knew about magic, the more endless it was, and the more I dug into it, the deeper I realized it was.

So much so that it feels impossible to reach the end.

“Whoa… … .”

After reading magic spells like crazy in the library until midnight, early morning exercise begins.

Now that I had revealed my identity as a knight, I could swing my sword to my heart’s content.

Time when all students went to bed.

Harang headed to the magic training ground and swung his sword while holding a heavy iron bar made by tying heavy magic to thick steel bars. It was late at night, but the four-star knight’s superhuman body could survive with only two hours of sleep a day.

‘I still have so many shortcomings.’

That day, while using the fluttering snowflakes on Mirror Jane, I realized many things.

‘My skills are still immature when dealing with a truly powerful opponent.’

If Mirror Jane had not been burned by Lenches at that time, there was a high possibility that she would have been counterattacked before the technique worked properly.

In fact, he thought of the probability of defeat momentarily before the skill was activated.

‘It doesn’t mean that you can practice magic harder. The sword and I must become one body. Once you become skilled at the act of swinging a sword, it is not difficult to perform magic.’

He drew a sword stroke in the air like flowing water.

It looked completely different from Caladun’s sword technique, but it was like watching Emblitz’s unique sword technique.

It’s like dancing, but the tip of the sword sharply cuts towards the enemy, and the enemy will fall down, dazzled by the beautiful dance, without even realizing that he has been cut… … .

In the meantime, I was obsessed with Kaladun’s swordsmanship and only pursued fast and powerful swordsmanship, but this time, for the first time, my eyes were opened to the soft and flashy swordsmanship. Although his skills were not yet so good that he could unconditionally say which swordsmanship was better, he certainly had enough to learn from the Hwanggeom technique.

Huh!

Thinking of Emblitz’s smooth and dazzling swordsmanship, Harang danced with his sword all night long.

When dawn broke.

He felt something uneasy.

It seems like I will achieve enlightenment… … I definitely felt like I knew something, but the tingling feeling I couldn’t figure out was so frustrating.

Harang, who was sitting on the floor, was in the lotus position, with his palms spread out on his knees, placing the Blue Moon Hein on top of them, and breathing mana through the White Silver Heavenly Dragon Heart Ball.

‘… … ‘A while ago, my magic power reached 4 cores, but when I combined it with divine power, all the impurities were removed and it became 2 cores.’

In the long run, this would be much better, but right now, even though I had achieved enlightenment, I was so depressed that I couldn’t do anything due to a lack of magic power and couldn’t use the techniques I came up with.

Harang slowly opened his eyes, activated subspace by snapping his fingers, and took out a gorgeous wooden armor decorated with gold leaf.

‘Golden Wheel.’

It is so precious that even the royal family of Herael can only give one in their lifetime. It was an elixir with such ridiculous properties that it was said that just absorbing it could raise one’s level to the next level.

The younger he is and the more talented he is, the more effective this is, and Harang was saving it to use when he was blocked by the wall of enlightenment.

“… … .”

He glanced at the golden wheel and then shook his head.

‘Not yet.’

Sweet! Harang closed the lid of the wooden armor again and made up her mind.

If you rely on equipment and medicine to become stronger, you will eventually be blocked by an even bigger wall.

‘There is still room for further development without this help.’

It also meant that I could become strong enough just to vaguely see the state beyond enlightenment.

* * *

Arniel faculty meeting room.

“… … “It looks like that little kid is trying to get an Arniel certificate.”

Most of the faculty members, who usually did not attend under the pretext of research, were gathered together to discuss a boy.

“What can I do?”

“The child is certainly a benefactor of the Spire, but that doesn’t mean we can let him run wild in the wizarding world in Caladorn’s name. You can repay the favor separately later, but the Arniel certificate cannot be awarded carelessly. This is the last pride.”

“The good news is that Paul Callathan is ‘Foldan Knight.’ If I do not receive a certificate in this exam, I will return to my hometown. Perhaps the mission is… … “Because it would have been completed.”

“Hmm, then. “I think the story will be simple.”

The professors looked at each other and nodded.

“All we have to do is to organize the level of difficulty around the subjects that the boy finds difficult, and to make it so that his physical ability as a knight cannot be involved, so that he cannot achieve a grade that is sufficient to obtain a certificate.”

The fact that the boy from Caladern became a genius who shook up the magic world and even became a hero who saved the Spire has already become irreversible.

However, I couldn’t let it reach the conclusion that ‘I obtained Arniel’s certificate’ in the end.

“Each professor should pay close attention to the difficulty level of the test.”

Senior Professor Delicane parted his lips. He remembered being badly hurt by Cala Dawn’s Prime Minister, Taran Kal Aradella, at a meeting a while back, so he did not want to be caught up in Kala Dawn anymore.

“This test… “Keep in mind that Arniel’s last pride is at stake.”

At Professor Delicane’s words, the professors nodded with eyes full of weight.

We could no longer allow Kaladun to lower Arniel’s prestige.
