chapter 2
2 – Entrance Ceremony Horror Magic
The next morning, the time is around 8:30 AM.
I changed into my uniform and checked my reflection in the mirror. From the black uniform to the shirt and black tie. I still can’t believe that I was possessed, but I started for the academy anyway.
At that time, something felt empty, so I stopped walking.
“Oh.”
I need to bring a pair of swords too. I went through so much trouble to get a blade gust sword. I’m not used to going to school with a bag on my back and two swords on my waist.
Every time I trudged along, the sword kept dragging, so I raised the sheath again. If this mood were to be replaced with modernity, how would it be expressed? Yes, it feels like carrying an umbrella on a non-rainy day.
***
A high institution that is said to be one of the most prestigious.
I arrived in front of the entrance to Delaon, the magic academy I attend.
Like other academies, this place does not have only one academy building, but it is made up of huge buildings as if they represent a city.
“Wow…”
I expressed it calmly, but I can’t keep my mouth shut.
This is how it feels to see with your own eyes the scenery you only read about in writing.
But wait. You have to find the 1st grade building here with just a map? No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like I couldn’t do anything. It seems that the main characters and the others have heard that the 1st grade building is on the west side. Other than that, there were no detailed descriptions.
“Hmm…”
It didn’t help much. Let’s hold on to someone and ask. Gray, tie. Were you a sophomore? I would like that person
“I’d like to ask for directions. Where does the first grade building go from here?”
“You’re a freshman in your first year? That’s great. I was on my way there too. Let me guide you.”
He has a rather talkative personality, and he started talking about himself, recalling the time he entered the school. As he listened to it, he slowly compared it with the original story, and he realized that he had really entered Delaon.
“In the first year, weapon proficiency is the most important thing. What kind of weapon do you use? Well. No need to ask, just a staff member.”
Yeah, that setting doesn’t change either.
“Twin swords.”
“Eh, huh?!”
He was surprised and didn’t say anything, so I showed him the two swords he was carrying around his waist.
“No. Why don’t you change it now? It’s free to change weapons… Our school, no, this world is an environment where guys who use melee weapons can’t survive.”
That’s right. This is a really kind senior. If you’re going to swear at all, why did you come to the magic academy? Go to the kendo hall. The people who do it are the placenta.
“Switch to staff immediately.”
“Unfortunately, he has more talent with the sword than the staff.”
Does this sound like a joke? The answer is mixed with laughter.
“hahahaha. Where is that?”
“Really.”
We arrived in front of the 1st grade auditorium while talking about this and that. The road is not as complicated as I thought. This is a place I come to often, so I briefly reflected on how I came.
“Anyway, thank you for the advice and guidance. Senior.”
“No. I can clearly see your hardships… I’ll change you to a staff member even now…”
I smiled and headed into the first grade auditorium. Current time 8:55 am. Fill the auditorium with freshmen like me. It was said that there were around 300 people in all.
After speaking, I turned my head and looked at the students around me. All staff. There was not a single student who used an unusual weapon like me.
The staff is described as the perfect weapon of the magician. Did it say that there is no weapon that is superior in terms of magic compatibility?
If I didn’t have a master of double swords, I might have thrown away all my swords and joined the staff.
Nine o’clock in the morning.
On time, the first year department head and faculty members walked up to the desk. I checked the teachers carefully to see if there was anything different from the original.
1St grade department head and class A teacher, Lee Myeong-cheol’s magician Kwak Bum-cheol.
He is a deceased person among those who have trained in martial arts, saying that there is nothing more to train in intelligence and magic.
He is muscular, and his face is covered with scars from fighting monsters like medals.
Aside from that, Mi-sook Lee, a water wizard and class C teacher. Electric wizard, class D teacher, Jung Ki-beom, class E, class F, etc…
Where is the class B teacher who will be my homeroom teacher? Ah. It’s there.
Bo-Ram Lee, a fire wizard who joined class B as a new teacher this year.
He has long brown hair, is wearing a suit and is holding the report tightly as if he is very nervous. The teachers are all the same as the original. Thank god.
At that time, the head teacher started testing the microphone.
Tuk Tuk-
Perhaps because of his terrifying appearance, he seems to have exerted himself even in a simple microphone test.
“Ah.”
With just that one word, all the students started staring at him in a tense state.
“Congratulations to the students who have passed our magic academy, Delaon! However, only a handful of students will graduate from magic academy…”
That was it!
At the same time as his voice fell low, mana spurted out like a rumble. Even in the original, it started suddenly like this.
Commonly known as fear magic.
It was the general manager’s intention to cut off the buds of those who are afraid of such things from the beginning.
[Kwak Bumcheol cast a low-level fear spell.]
[Magical power 100.]
[Successfully nullifying fear magic with 10,005 magical power!]
However, if it is higher than the target’s magic power, it will not work at all. He decided to be a bystander for a while and observe the reactions of the students next to him.
“Raise your hand now if you want to drop out.”
Students frightened by fear magic begin to raise their hands voluntarily.
“Ugh… Me.”
“Yes…”
“Haa… I can’t stand it any longer.”
Sounds of agony never cease…
Puff!
Stumble over him or even fall down. Of course, both are expelled.
“Don’t hold back and raise your hand. To begin with, you don’t have the talent of a wizard to be swayed by such low-level fear magic.”
Contrary to his appearance and how he uses magic, he is a very warm man on the inside. Rather, it’s because I don’t want to let students who have no talent die in a fight with a monster, so I’m doing this.
“Poop.”
According to the author’s words, tmi, feeding hamsters was a hobby that didn’t go well with their looks. Laughter burst out without my knowledge. At that time, I almost met my eyes with the manager, so I managed my expression right away.
“Hmm? Okay. There’s no more. Yes. You’ve held on well.”
When the fear magic ended, the sighs of relaxed students could be heard everywhere. Then, again, his booming voice rang out.
“The rest of the students follow me in order, starting with Class A.”
In front of the first year dormitory.
Nearly 300 students in the entire school. Ah. Is it less than that now? We were greeted by two buildings large enough for all students to occupy a single room.
“He’s the dormitory superintendent who will take care of you all during your freshman year. Everyone applauds.”
The dormitory manager took over the director’s words and talked about the dormitory rules.
The blue entrance to the building is the male dormitory, and the red entrance is the female dormitory. If you do anything stupid in the dormitory, you will be expelled immediately, etc. It wasn’t very nutritious.
I entered the assigned single room dormitory and put down my belongings. The full-scale class starts tomorrow and today’s schedule ends here. In other words, it is free time until 10:00 PM, which is the dormitory curfew.
Then let’s think about it for a moment.
Even if you only have one S-class blade blast fang sword, the academy is free. However, the final goal is to fight the final boss later.
So, for that, we need to gather talents and talented colleagues that we haven’t found yet. But honestly, it’s tight to go find Giyeon right now. I might be able to go on the weekend.
I looked at the sword that was leaning against the wall like an umbrella. So let’s test our strength. I’m honestly curious. How much will it cost with one weapon? I went straight to the training room.
***
After leading the remaining students to the dormitory, the teachers talked about the entrance ceremony that had just taken place.
“How was everyone?”
The first thing I heard was the reply from the C class teacher who grumbled as the department head.
“Well, I don’t know if they’ll all be foolish and play wizards properly. Why don’t you make your fear magic harder?”
“hahahaha. If that happens, there won’t be any students left.”
Boram, a new teacher, was just going to quietly listen to the conversation between the two. However, as if he didn’t understand her feelings, the head teacher pointed out.
“How was the teacher in class B? All the ignorant guys went in there. The daughter of a large guild, the student who already had a lot of subjugation experience, what the heck. There was also a student with a sword?”
Then the class C teacher burst into laughter. It must be because the person mentioned at the end was significantly lower in class than the others.
“Yes? Poohup. This isn’t even a kendo hall. You brought a sword to the magic academy?”
Worthy of paying attention.
“Ah. That’s right. Yes. Yes. Kim is also a student…”
“She knows what kind of sword master she is. Fighting with a melee weapon is something that even A-rank wizards have a hard time with. What rank did she come in?”
Bo-ram said in a voice the size of an ant that he was ranked 222nd.
“Twenty-two?”
“No. ‘Two hundred’ twenty-two.”
When she heard that, she laughed out loud.
“You’re really out of your mind. Manager, do you remember the past? The guy whose weapon was an axe.”
“Yes. I remember. I ended up changing my weapon to a staff.”
“I’m not as good as the head teacher, but if I were just teaching, it would have been 10 years. During that long time, I’ve seen a lot. Guys who challenged the magic academy with a short-range weapon, but withdrew.”
She raised her voice in a rant.
“I assure you. Kim will also look at him for a month at most. No, he said he was ranked 222nd, right? He must drop out quickly before changing his weapon.”
Meanwhile, the manager calmly touched his beard and thought.
According to her words, the students who turned into staff after flirting with melee weapons are one truck. If I were to count my career, it would be about one or three trucks.
But this time, something was different.
Coming to think of it, that guy was laughing when I cast the fear spell. He used low-level magic, but to completely neutralize it, he must have higher magical power than me.
As if the manager, who was deep in thought, didn’t like it, his tick-tick voice got worse.
“Are you listening? Manager?”
“Ah. What did you say after thinking about it for a while?”
“Such a kid should be expelled early at the discretion of the manager.”
The manager smiled with a troubled expression at her words.
“Heh heh. You’ve endured fear magic proudly, and you haven’t done anything wrong yet. Why did you get expelled?”
“There is nothing wrong with it. It is wrong to use a sword.”
Kim Yi-do, 222nd in admissions ranking.
Unusually, a wizard who wields twin swords. However, he responded to my fear magic with a smile. His talent is too wasteful to expel him for using a sword.
“Well. Let’s watch it a little longer.”
