The Only Swordsman of the Magic Academy - Chapter 49



49 – Sealed Item

*

As we walked and chatted, we arrived at the place where the party had gathered before we knew it, and Suna and Seoyoon were also there.

“You both won, right? We won.”

Looking at his bright expression, I think he probably won, but I asked just in case.

“Of course I won. I just finished it in one minute.”

She says her powers are sealed, but Suna, who signed a contract with the King of Spirits, couldn’t get tired of her ordinary students, even though she wasn’t from a family in the 10th generation.

“When I used sword and magic at the same time, the opponent reacted wrongly. I won easily too.”

Seeing that my first disciple also won easily, I feel full even though I haven’t eaten.

“We won easily too. Not to mention Lee Seol, I finished it in 10 seconds.”

“Does that make sense? He said he was from a teenage family. Besides, I think he said he was a B-class wizard… Isn’t that a joke?”

I blew a light chestnut on the head of Seon-ah, who dared to doubt her teacher.

“Ah! Ugh…”

“Don’t doubt your teacher.”

“Let’s stop kidding and let’s go eat first. I think you’re hungry.”

Seoyun cut off the joke at this point. She was definitely hungry because she hadn’t eaten and had been taking the test all along.

I wanted to tell you to leave immediately, but I had work to do.

Tee-Ring-

A text from Melissa arrived just in time, and I opened my mouth to the party.

“The instructor said he has something else to say, so I think I’ll have to go back for a while.

“Instructor?”

“Yes. It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry.”

“…Okay. I’ll be waiting for you. Come quickly.”

After parting with the party for a while, we set off for the place we received via text message.

Since Celestial Academy provides a private laboratory for instructors, they probably called it there.

When I arrived at the meeting place, as expected, I saw a door with a plaque reading Melissa Love’s Lab.

Smart-

As I knocked on the door, I felt the presence of people from inside.

“You’re here!”

As soon as I opened the door, Melissa greeted me with her unique high tension.

She gave her hand to me and she grabbed it and led it inside of her just as he held her hand.

“Sit here.”

A sofa large enough for three people to sit on. She sat there, and she sat down next to me too.

‘What..?’

Don’t you usually sit on the opposite side? It was a bit embarrassing to sit right next to me like this.

Still, I didn’t show off as much as possible and looked around.

I’ve only been to Melissa’s lab in a game, but it’s the first time in real life.

The composition is not much different from the place I knew, but there were differences in detail, such as things that did not exist in the game.

On top of that, I can feel Melissa’s body odor and magical powers? It’s only natural since it’s where she often hangs out.

By the time I felt those differences, she smiled and addressed her.

“Do you know why I called candidate Choi Ha-joon separately?”

Of course I know.

Perhaps it’s because I’m the only one among the students who lightly dissipates and analyzes the love family’s magical powers.

‘What should I do?’

What is revealed and what is not revealed here. Two methods existed.

If you say that you don’t know what’s going on, you will be seen as a student with only high mental resistance, and if you reveal what you know, you will be seen as a student full of talent.

Whether he chose one or the other, he would maintain his interest in me, but of course choosing the latter would get him more attention.

In normal cases, I would choose the latter without looking further, but the problem was that my situation was very special.

Even so, Yu Yi-seol’s dependence on me is growing, and now I have to raise Ra-Jin, and I have to create a new basic training method. There are so many things to do.

Even if it’s up to Kamp to teach Sun-ah spiritism, I still have to do things like clearing the dungeons I need myself.

After thinking about adding new variables and work to this for a while, I finally opened my mouth.

“Isn’t it because I easily dissipated the instructor’s mana, which was wrapped around the crowd before the exam started?”

‘Just let it happen.’

Unknown event, now, I don’t know what the result of this choice will be, but I decided to just go for the maximum efficiency.

If I can hold even one more card, it will be of great help to my future steps. Even if that’s the way to further abuse my body or mind.

Hearing my answer, Melissa’s smile grew even thicker and her magical energy engulfed the room.

I don’t know if it’s because her place has narrowed, or because she’s a familiar place to her, but even though her warm magic has become more dense, she still hasn’t had any effect on me.

“Did you really feel it?”

I said it was a warm magic, but the love family’s magic is more secretive than I thought.

It was another matter for wizards of the same class, especially those who were sensitive to magic, to naturally scatter it without any preparation.

“Probably to control the students.”

It is said that those who have obtained a wizard license are treated as semi-adults, but those who take the academy entrance exam are still like children.

I was in the middle of the day, and if I sparred with each other, it might get too hot, so of course I needed someone to control it.

So, at other test sites, there were instructors who were good at psychokinesis or those who were good at bondage magic, and among them, Melissa was the one who could control her behavior simply by releasing magical power.

It wasn’t exactly a control, but rather a kind of inducement to voluntarily stop her from doing things she didn’t like.

The ability to easily gain the favor of others had that much power.

A simple release of mana can induce hundreds of people to act? It was probably a skill only Melissa could perform even within the academy.

“That’s right! Since everyone is young, there are people who are more dangerous than necessary…”

“What. Instructor seems to be the same age as me?”

Although she is in her mid-to-late twenties, she looks much younger than her age thanks to her generous magic.

Of course, he doesn’t look like a high school student, but he looks like he’s in his early twenties, but he has a bit of lip service.

“Really? This… Should I get a better present for you?”

They said that a woman is a girl no matter how old she is, and she seemed to like Melissa too.

“Wait a minute. I’ll get it right away.”

She got up from her seat and headed towards the back room of her lab.

“Whoa…”

She let out her breath once, relaxing her a bit.

As she was contemplating what the gift she said she would give her, she quickly returned and sat next to me again, took out her belongings from her pocket and handed them to me.

A ring in the shape of a snake biting its tail.

‘This is…’

An unexpected object popped out.

[Imoogi’s Ring (Hero): A ring that contains the Imoogi’s magical power. It contains part of the Imoogi’s abilities.

Stats▽

Magic +0.5, Spirit +0.5

The magical power of the Imoogi▽

Imoogi’s nature dwells in magical power. Increases the power of direct hits using magical power by 1.5 Times.

Master of the river▽

Water property affinity increases, can handle some water within 20m, and can rain for 10 minutes once every 24 hours.]

To be honest, it was an artifact that couldn’t be said to be that good.

Mages usually do not have a direct attack using magical powers, so the first option is almost nonexistent, and a range of 20m does not mean much to a wizard who fights at a very long distance.

Statistics, water attribute affinity, and making it rain when desired were abilities that wizards could mainly utilize.

Of course, I have a lot of things to hit directly with magic, and since I’m a person who mainly engages in close combat, I can use all my abilities properly.

But if this was all, I wouldn’t be so surprised.

‘This… Is a sealed item.’

Among some items, there was a sealed item whose true form was hidden.

Typically, it belongs to Balmung, which was used when Fafnir was caught, and if certain conditions are met, the seal is released and the item regains its true form.

Of course, many people used to imagine that the dungeon item they obtained was actually a sealed item because it showed a different level of ability than before the seal was lifted.

‘I didn’t expect Melissa to have this.’

Because this item will be used by demons in the future.

If the description of the artifact hadn’t mentioned the ring of the Imoogi, I would have been unaware of it.

“How is it? Do you like it?”

Every time I liked it, I felt like I wanted to bow right now.

Once I get this item, I can suppress the growth of the Mine, which will greatly power up, and on the contrary, I can use the item myself.

Furthermore, even if it’s an item with ambiguous performance to use, he readily handed over a hero-level artifact, so there’s no way he’ll have any complaints.

“Yes. I really like it.”

In her mind, she wanted to take her and rinse her.

“I thought it would be helpful for student Ha-jun Choi. I’m glad you liked it!”

“Thank you very much.”

I was wondering if it would end in such a warm way, but suddenly she threw an offer.

“If you don’t have a separate family sponsored by you, would you like to be sponsored by the Love family?”

A sweet offer that no average student would ever refuse.
