I Became a Munchkin Spirit Sorcerer at the Academy

12 – Sorcery and the Heart of the Beast – 1

Astonishment mixed with silence swept over the crowd.

A result no one expected.

Cooung.

James Argon’s new model slowly fell toward the ground.

The knight who had raised his sword for honor and to defeat evil rolled his eyes and sprawled out on the floor in an ugly, pathetic manner.

Clink.

The beloved sword he was holding also fell to the ground along with its owner.

” what?! “

“…James…you’re kidding, right?”

“Starter…I didn’t even hear you shouting…?”

” What’s happening..? “

The silence passed, and the crowd’s murmur suddenly covered the duel arena.

Even the academy students were well aware of the barren Argon territory and the strength of the wild flowers that bloomed in that barrenness.

Although it lacks elegance and sophistication, it is the Argon family’s sword method that crushes opponents with rough fighting spirit and overwhelming strength.

In order to kill monsters over a long period of time, the Argon family’s sword method, which has been changed to be more murderous, is full of lethality even without adding pesticides.

Argon’s swordsman, who resembles the ferocity of monsters in order to kill them.

James was strong, and his swordsmanship was already perfected.

However, his sword could not reach Harvey and collapsed.

The students who had dealt with James so far knew how strong he was, so they opened their mouths as if they could not believe the sight they saw before their eyes.

And it wasn’t just the students who were surprised by the current tragedy.

The last remaining mast, a burnt-out cigarette, fell to the floor.

The emotions in the eyes behind the glasses are astonishment and surprise.

What Harvey showed them completely surpassed their thoughts.

The professor in charge of the supervisor asked a question to the professor sitting next to him.

The professor who was asked the question also just kept his mouth open, taking in the current scene in his eyes.

” ..saw?”

“No, I didn’t see it.”

“Crazy, what on earth have you done?”

“Not only was there no magical interference… just now…”

Something Harvey had mumbled just now was clearly a starter word.

A starter word is a type of spell-like concept that must be memorized in order to implement magic.

A phenomenon comes to mind through imagery, and a phenomenon is realized in the world through a spell.

That is the most basic framework of magic.

However, the starter word Harvey showed denied the existing one.

However, with just one letter, the consciousness of James, a skilled knight, was blown away.

“..Was there any mental magic that could knock out a person with one hit?”

“There is, but the problem is that the starter is going crazy.”

“..What is the possibility of an artifact?”

“No, not even 1%. In order to activate an artifact, there is a built-in system in which the activation value set by the creator must be entered in advance, so there has never been an artifact that can be activated with a single word.”

” ..then. “

At that moment, one possibility flashed through the professors’ minds.

A qualification that can only be used by those who have mastered a certain type of magic and realized the truth.

“Muyoungchang..?”

” dog sound. “

” Nonsense. “

The professors stiffen their expressions and look straight at the mutterings of one professor.

A state where you can perform magic without chanting or chanting.

A small miracle that can only be achieved by those who have devoted their lives to mastering a certain field.

Older professors might not know, but for young professors, chanting without chanting was like unknown territory.

But a novice who had entered the academy less than a year ago entered the realm of martial arts?

dog sound.

It was more believable to say that an orc was a professor.

While the professors were busy talking to each other.

Students also began to talk about the incident that had just occurred.

Some say Harvey kept his powers hidden until now.

Some people said that the power of the Artur family had finally been revealed.

A surprising feat shown by Harvey, who had not shown any magical talent until now.

Naturally, the noise of the crowd, who thought James would win, heated up the atmosphere even more.

The defeat of goodness.

Evil, which must naturally be defeated by good, stood proudly on the podium.

Harvey, who had maintained an emotionless and expressionless expression until now, slowly began to open his mouth.

“Wake up, James Argon.”

Short, bold tone, strong tone.

Although the voice was not loud, it was clearly transmitted to everyone in the duel arena.

Harvey frowned and continued speaking, as if urging James, who had fallen, to get up quickly.

“Is the heart of a beast that slays monsters only this good?”

The heart of the beast, the family nickname given directly to the king by his ancestor Argon.

Glory and honor.

It is a family business that one carries with one’s whole life.

Harvey was now laughing at the family name, honor, and glory that had been bestowed upon him.

“…shut your mouth…”

Then something strange happened again.

Although it was not a matter of receiving a fortune or gaining an opportunity.

Everyone watching this scene had the same thoughts.

A small miracle happened.

James’ new form was slowly rising.

Holding his beloved sword lying on the floor tightly with both hands.

The momentum resembled that of an old general standing up again from the battlefield.

The young knight of Argon stood up again.

To punish evil.

*******

boundary.

A term that refers to the act of dividing a certain area and restricting its actions.

A type of spell I casted on James just now, to be more specific.

Dream world.

It is a spell that mercilessly consumes spiritual power and is effective, but it is burdensome to use.

It’s a shame because in order to minimize the consumption of spiritual power, the range of use was limited to James’ eyes.

If the barrier had been expanded around James, it would have been me who had fallen by now, not James.

In any case, this dream barrier was a spell that trapped the user in a dreamlike illusion, paralyzing their cognition by hallucinating their five senses.

I don’t know what James saw, but the trauma in his mind must have been quite severe as he rolled his eyes and fainted.

‘ thank god. ‘

Throwing a gamble to tie up the movement even a little gave unexpected results.

‘But…not yet. ‘

However, the duel is not over yet.

Although he succeeded in neutralizing the guy, James still had one secret left.

“Wake up, James Argon.”

The secret story of the Argon family passed down from generation to generation.

The heart of the beast.

The leader and secret of the Argon family’s swordsmanship, who literally turned himself into a monster in order to kill monsters.

A blood system that comes from the manifestation of the animal blood latent within the Argon family, not from mastering it through enlightenment.

The people of the Argon family live with the blood of beasts for generations.

They usually live in human form, but when their bodies reach their limits, their bodies become similar to those of beasts.

Strength and stamina become several times stronger, fingernails and toenails turn into weapons, and eyes begin to resemble wild ones.

Of course, special magic passed down from generation to generation in the Argon family helps prevent reason from being lost.

It does not prevent the instincts from becoming similar to those of animals.

“Crrr..”

What came out of James’ mouth was not a human moan, but an animal howl.

James pulls out his hair and accepts change.

“Kaaa!!”

After that, changes began to occur in James’ body.

His entire body began to become covered in fur, and his claws and fingernails grew long.

His eyes became the pupils of a wild beast, and his body swelled.

“Kuuuack!!”

However, as if his human heart still remained, he did not let go of his beloved sword.

The will to defeat me as a human being, not as an animal, was what made him pick up the sword again.

As a result.

A strange scene was created, with a tiger standing on two feet and holding a sword.

As I looked at James transformed into a tiger, I was lost in thought for a moment.

‘ That guy is also in a position to help the main character. ‘

A position that is common in any novel.

Characters who help the main character but awaken when they encounter a crisis.

James Argon was just that kind of character.

Although it is not very noticeable, it plays a role that actively helps the main character and party whenever it appears.

Originally, the turning point where James awakens the heart of the beast was in Chapter 4 of the novel.

This is the section where the main characters become busy as the activities of the underworld begin in earnest.

At that time, Orphée made a mistake, and because of that mistake, one of the main character’s heroines faces a crisis.

At that time, James appeared and bided time until the main character arrived.

“Cruck…Harvey!!”

James must have regained his senses, looking straight at me and roaring.

Is it because his appearance has completely changed into that of a tiger, or is it because of his will to defeat me?

James’ roar was filled with strong will.

” come. “

He taunts James by pointing his finger.

“I must..you..!”

James then lunges at him with a sword in his hand with even more ferocity.

Is it because I moved my body as my nature told me to do, regardless of the principles of swordsmanship?

James’ speed was faster than before, but the sword’s path was starting to become visible.

“Golgyeon (骨犬).”

A loyal shikigami who has completed the shikigami contract appears from the shadows.

They are assembled in the shadows, and eventually slowly take on the shape of a dog.

Two bone dogs, taking the shape of bones and looking like large dogs, appeared in the world.

“Crack, crack!”

As soon as they came out, they must have sensed the spirit of battle, and immediately lowered their posture while chatting their white teeth.

“Go and ask.”

“Wow!!”

The guys, who were ready to pounce at any time, immediately started running towards James as soon as the order was given.

One to the left.

One to the right.

They prepared a hunting formation as if to surround James.

Eventually, as the distance narrowed, the dogs opened their wide mouths and rushed at James.

“aaah!”

Clink!

As the dogs attacked from both directions simultaneously, James screamed and began to block their attacks with his sword.

This took some time.

Now it was time to start the main story.

“Form.”

The framework of the spell is rebuilt, and what is summoned is the food spirit hidden in the shadows.

By conjuring up an image of a shikigami in my head, I create a small door that connects it to the real world.

I mutter the spell again to summon a being that should not have existed in the first place, a being that has disappeared into the other side of the era and has been forgotten in my memory.

“ Yeong(影).”

The shadow begins to fluctuate.

From surface to line, from line to shape.

The threads that began to emerge from the shadows began to intertwine to form shapes.

Sigh.

It embodies the appearance of a food spirit that has crossed the border and is sleeping.

What is summoned is a three-legged crow.

Wings rising straight.

A sharp spear-like beak.

Eyes that resemble the power of a bird of prey.

The color that comes to mind is black.

The plan to summon the divine beast that once illuminated the earth brilliantly, the beast that shared warmth to all living things as the messenger of the sun, is completed.

And, I prepare to face the strongest shikigami I can summon.

“Keuuuk

Blood began to flow from my eyes.

At the same time, the pumpkin head hanging around his neck also begins to shake violently.

Beyond the topic, it was the price of reaction for shouldering karma that should not have been shouldered.

“Open.”

Extend your hands forward and clasp them together.

To open the door to summon the three-legged crow embodied in the form into this world.

To create a portal to the world to summon things that should not exist.

At that moment, the shadow began to stir, and soon a crow, the size of an eagle, descended into the world.

“ ───Kaaa!!”

The three-legged crow slowly begins to spread its wings, scattering the black flame that once burned the universe.

As the sun set behind the mountain, the three-legged figure appeared in front of everyone with its back to the sun.

And the appearance was like a shadow illuminated by the sun.

As an alien being descends into the world, students, professors, and even James are pushing away the bone dog with their swords.

I gazed in fascination at the fallen divine beast barking at the world with great force.

The dignity and dignity exuded by the fallen man aroused admiration in those who saw it.

“Caw.”

When I raise my right arm, a three-legged crow slowly descends from the air and lands on my right arm.

I smiled contentedly and spoke to James.

“Round 2 is starting.”
