Unsold Slaves Returned as Heroes - Chapter 45
45. Will you fight with magic? Please enter in order!”
The guidance voice of the guards echoed through the amplification magic. Crowds of people from all over the continent who had been waiting to enter from early on began to enter the academy grounds.
The Silver Cheongje Festival has begun.
For 3 days from today, except for some dangerous and classified areas, all areas of the academy and the academy will be open to the public.
Mysteriously, the seasons in the Academy Territory are precisely determined, as if drawn with a ruler, and the silver and blue flowers start to bloom from today.
The academy grounds and the nearby forest topography seen from the high spire are filled with light blue petals, creating a spectacular view.
A pleasantly warm spring breeze gently caresses the entire land.
Other snow mountains, deserts, and waterfalls remain unchanged, maintaining a fantastic atmosphere.
However, it was not a situation where you could enjoy the natural scenery as it is.
“Isn’t the atmosphere more bloody than last year! President, is this really a festival?”
Band expressed his doubts. As he said, there were three times the usual number of guards deployed throughout the academy.
Tourists are closely monitored without blind spots on the walls or corners of the facility. The barriers were also installed in multiple layers, such as physical, magical defense, and detection.
“There was an incident during the admissions process, so I just need to be a little more careful. Recently, there have been reports that the swordsman has spotted black magicians during patrol. It is a matter of course.”
“Aren’t the students anxious! Only then will I be able to show my skills at the recital?”
“If your skills aren’t even that good, you don’t have them. Noisy. Sheep.”
Felia expressed displeasure.
“I understand that this position can be a good opportunity for students. It is also a place where students’ talents are seen on various stages and investment or recruitment takes place.”
In addition to general tourists, there are many aristocrats and wealthy people from all over the continent in Euncheongje.
The purpose of these groups is to see students’ presentations and select potential candidates at the beginning of the semester to contact them.
They can get rough stones in advance at a low price, and it’s a win-win for students who need support or networking.
Of course, any country wants to be a candidate for a hero, but since it becomes politically complicated, he rarely recruits and rarely accepts.
“Professor Alencia, I will check in advance, but the announcement of the Kulan army is prohibited.”
“I know. How many times are you going to say it? In the first place, there are no cheap kids who will show their talents in the water coffin.”
The president notified Pelia. This is a measure that was taken because it could provoke the nations by highlighting a candidate for the hero.
“Hey, slave trader. Testia students will do it too, right? Presentation.”
“Of course. However, even if the investment comes in, I have no intention of accepting it.”
“Ha, just throw him in the trash. If you see him, he’ll pull out the entire Forbidden Library from the Mage Tower and give it to you?”
“Testia students already have an investor called me, so I don’t need anything else.”
“This is absurd.”
Felia gnashed her teeth. I added
“In the first place, the Magic Tower won’t be paying attention. Because the subject that Testia students are going to present is ‘Culinary Arts’.”
“What? Are you really crazy?!”
Felia jumped onto the table. Still, she was still below me.
“Cooking? You’re going to ask a kid who knows how to use the 5th tier to cook?”
“I wished.”
“Wow. You really don’t know what it is? Hey, do you have a presentation with me?”
Bang. Felia slapped her table with her tiny palm. She wasn’t that much of a threat.
“hehehe, here we go again.”
Mulan, who was half-fainted while being hit with a blood pack in the corner of the reception room, seemed interested.
“A presentation. Professor Alencia, are you saying that you are going to make a research presentation?”
“Uh. Send a Testia student to win by giving a public lecture with him and me! I really can’t stand it!”
Pelia wrote her bad. Her band crossed her arms and smiled cheerfully.
“Ha ha ha! Halfling, there’s no way you’d be a match for Professor Pedia! You can’t wait to dig your own grave!”
“Shut up the poor cat who can’t even guard the house! Are you going to do it or not?”
Felia’s attitude was quite emotional.
The situation is different from the usual. At that time, she was preparing for the entrance ceremony to suppress the emperor, and she held the ceremony.
Right now, I don’t want much from Felia. There is no reason to establish this conditional transaction.
Tia is definitely more gifted in magic than anyone else on the continent, and since she was a rich in the original work, it is certain that she will become a wizard.
But now Tia doesn’t want to learn more magic. Looking at the magic she can use, she has already reached a considerable level.
Tia said she wanted me to learn to cook. As much as she received the request, she intends to fulfill it with all her might.
“I will refuse. Testia’s students are interested in culinary arts, not magic. Respect her will.”
“Can people make a living doing only what they want to do? Do you live like that?”
“I can’t. So I think my students will make it that way.”
“I mean… !”
The president intervened between the two of us.
“Now, both of you, calm down. Professor Alencia, are you aware that the requirements are outrageous? Above all, I heard from Testia that she has no intention of transferring to the Water Coffin.”
“That….”
Felia shut her mouth in anger.
“No wonder Professor Pedia would have no reason to accept such a condition. By the way, Professor Pedia.”
“Yes.”
The president smiled and took me to a corner and started a private conversation. It was intended to negotiate.
“It is also true that since Professor Alencia took office, he has never lectured on his research results in front of the public. You can definitely sell this for a high price.”
The president’s voice was full of anticipation. That was the purpose
“Even though Professor Alencia is like that, it is true that she is the only With the owner of the mage tower on the continent. All the gold coins from all over the continent will flock to buy the video of the lecture. Specifically, this much.”
The president spread his fingers. It was definitely on a significant level.
Academy always needs a budget. The loan does not make gold coins, so the funding is entirely up to the president. It was just me.
“Hmm.”
“How are you? If you accept the match even if the conditions are relaxed, I can give you 10% of the proceeds.”
Even 10% is an astronomical amount. But.
“There is nothing to gain when you win a game.”
“How about making it quiet like Professor Band? That side is actually comfortable for me too.”
“I don’t want to disturb Testia just for that reason.”
“Ummm…. So is he.”
“Aren’t you assuming that I can’t win in the first place? If we were to compete against each other through lectures, Professor Alencia’s research would be more valuable than mine, who had just arrived.”
“hahahaha. I remember the sword skills you showed at the entrance ceremony. Above all, you are not the master of warriors.”
The president spoke quite friendly. To some extent, it seemed sincere.
I wasn’t persuaded by the president.
Perhaps it was because he became a little emotional.
I decided to put a weight on the scale.
“First, please give me 30% of the sales.”
“Did you have an idea! But is it money? Didn’t you think of riches that much?”
“I have enough money to spend. But lately, there are parts I want to write more for students than I thought.”
“Can’t we just claim it as expenses?”
“Because it is personal to some extent.”
As I have been working on the curriculum recently, I want to allocate more budget for students.
However, if I report the details, others may see it and misunderstand that I favor Luca, Tia, and Yuri, so I have to deal with it at my own expense.
Because I’m actually showing favoritism.
“And I win. My lectures will be sold at a higher price, so it is only natural that I take that much.”
“As expected, Professor Pedia! It looks like you also remembered what to ask of Professor Alencia.”
“Yes.”
I turned and stood in front of Felia. The rector interceded for us.
“Professor Alencia, I negotiated with Professor Pedia. Say you accept the fight. Tomorrow afternoon, the two of you will hold a lecture on research achievements at the stadium.”
“Shim, it should come out like that!”
“I’m going to make three non-replicable crystal spheres that recorded the two of you’s lectures and auction them off immediately. A win for the side that sold for the higher price.”
“There is nothing to see. At least how to select a slave.”
“Don’t worry if it’s a subject.”
I interrupted.
“You don’t intend to teach magic.”
“Of course not!”
“It has to be the same subject so that the audience can also evaluate it. I will teach you magic too.”
“Ha? What is this? Are you a wizard How many levels have you reached?”
“A 1st level magic user.”
“This is the end… !”
“Professor Pedia, are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“Mmm, I see. The next condition is that if Professor Alencia wins, Testia students will have to listen to Professor Alencia’s lecture once a week from now on.”
“Okay, I like it. See you tomorrow.”
From noble mtl dot com
“If Professor Pedia wins….”
“You don’t even have to listen!”
“You should listen, Professor Alencia.”
I warned in a low voice.
“Ah, what!”
I stood in front of her, the sound of my heavy heels echoing on the floor.
“If I win, I will take over your leadership as Chair Professor.”
“It sounds the same as when he did it. Do it yourself.”
“Professor Setanta, do you have any objections?”
“Do whatever you want. It’s fun.”
Mulan nodded at the president’s question with tired eyes.
“In addition.”
I added sharply.
“I will receive 20% of your magic circuit.”
“… What?”
Boom!
Pelia, unable to hold back her anger at my words, exploded with mana. Embers that had not yet been refined into flames burned around the two of us.
“Do you know what you just said?”
“I know that. Mana, the power of the source from which you just converted mana into magic. It meant 20% of the magic circuit that stores it.”
“Are you going to take away the fundamentals of being a mage that I have trained my whole life?”
“Um.”
I leaned down and made eye contact with Felia at close range.
“You shouldn’t have touched our Tia.”
It doesn’t blink an eye, and it doesn’t breathe.
I stare as if time has stopped.
Now I’m pretty pissed off.
Since a while ago, Tia was used as a betting material like an object, and I was very angry because they treated Tia as a tool to develop magic.
Looking at his attitude, I decided to step on Gisera Pelia, who will continue to bother me.
Wherever you dare.
Felia glared at me for a long time before jerking her body away.
“Stop cheating!”
Felia hurriedly left her reception room.
When it comes to this condition, she will lose money to win the match from her position as Felia, but it seems that she can’t stand the fact that her pride is hurt.
“The match has been established. I look forward to both of you giving great lectures.”
The president summarized the situation.
She said that she would receive Pelia’s magic circuit for no other reason.
It’s because every time I tried to use Tia’s high-ranking magic to exploit slaves, the casting failed.
Even during the first lecture, if Tia hadn’t noticed right away and helped me, I would have left the main magic circle floating around.
Even if it can be activated, it is thought to be a phenomenon that occurs because there is no basis for continuing the casting, so I plan to steal her magic circuit from Pellia.
20% Of the sage’s magic circuit. It’s a huge amount Wizards never transfer their magic circuits to anyone other than their own children.
Even when he dies, he doesn’t pass it on to his children unless they have the talent and qualifications.
This is how they are a strict family.
A magic circuit is an object that cannot be understood or stolen by others unless the magician himself transfers it and implants it.
If you have it, you will be able to use magic considerably in the future.
Of course, it’s a story when you win a game.
I didn’t dig traps like I always did.
Lecture to lecture this time.
I’m thinking of sticking head-on.
