chapter 27
My crystal ball partner (1)
I heard such embarrassing and manly moaning for about 20 minutes.
As a result, I came to know two things.
Leonard and Luna are crystal ball yas partnerships, and I’m not a fan of this side at all.
“Haaang, it’s so good.”
“······Me too.”
My mind was exhausted.
In the vulgar language, I felt a ‘hyeonta’.
Am I accepting this for the sake of enjoying a movie of wealth and honor?
Should I just give up and enjoy the affair and die?
under······
Fortunately, the one-sided act of affection ended before I put everything down. Luna said in an exasperated tone.
“Today was the best Leo. It’s always thrilling.”
“… that’s right.”
Exciting sickness.
I wanted to cut my hair off. It was difficult to cope with the overwhelming feeling of shame.
But since I’ve made it this far, I’ll have to dig up some information.
I looked at the “textbook” written by hand.
The event that takes place after “The Appearance of Ruinel” is “Francis’ Quiz Game”.
At the time, it was scheduled to be held only next week, but as 「Ruinel’s appearance」 was moved forward, there was a possibility that 「Francis’ Quiz Game」 would also proceed earlier than planned.
First of all, I had to figure this out.
When Luna’s excitement subsided, he asked.
“By the way, Luna-sama.”
“yes? Ah, what is it… Why do you keep using honorifics? more exciting…”
“Luna, I have something to ask you.”
Fearing that it might recur, I cut off the bud.
“I heard that the planning department is preparing a quiz game?”
“uh!? How did you know? It’s a complete surprise event.”
Luna’s startled voice flowed from the crystal ball. I said it leisurely, as if I already knew everything.
“There are ways. I have already heard that both were brought forward by about five days.”
“Ah, isn’t it? Only one is 5 days, the other one is a week early- oh my!”
Again, the mouth is light. When I opened it up a bit, I spat out the information.
The problem is that there are two surprise events.
I had to find out which of “Francis’ quiz game” or “Yuli’s singing talent show” was moved forward by a week.
Luna asked casually.
“How did you know there were two of them?”
“Because there are ways. Francis’ quiz game was moved forward by 7 days, right?”
“Um… it’s a secret. I will not comment.”
It wasn’t a complete boulder. Luna also had the ability to learn.
If so, the only way to find out is through the transformation.
“I heard that it was for a rather impure reason to bring it up a week earlier.”
“I don’t know~ It’s a secret.”
“I heard you brought it up to participate in the Queer Festival.”
“yes? Was Francis gay?”
I’m sorry, Francis.
More than your career as a black magician.
“Huh… that’s why you moved it forward by a week. As far as I know, that wasn’t the reason. oh-! I said it again…”
“I already knew that, but what?”
“It is an absolute secret since it is an event planned with great care by the planning department. You know?”
“i get it. Instead, it is also a secret that Francis is gay.”
“yes! It’s a real secret from each other.”
Luna answered in a bright voice.
Like a troll character who divulges important information to Karios, he had no thoughts at all. A troll warlock who spreads information, a leading character who ruined the world with an affair…
I realized that “Eternal Wizard World” is a novel at the end.
If I go back, I won’t write about this.
“and.”
Before ending the conversation, he opened the door to continue extracting information.
“I hope we continue to exchange confidential information like this in the future. It’s a secret, but he’s the kind of person who likes gossip like this.”
“Professor Leonard? That’s money… Yes, let’s know now and share some information.”
Luna, who had been laughing innocently, suddenly changed the tone of her voice. Just like before, it was a secret and nightly tone.
“In return, I also have a request…”
“what?”
“Please continue to write respectful words. It’s so exciting.”
“·······”
It was disgusting, but I had to endure it.
This level of lip service to get information was nothing.
By the way
“okay······”
But why are you so hesitant?
Do you feel embarrassed that it is difficult to add one more word ‘yo’?
I closed my eyes tightly.
“······yo. this”
“Already good. I will contact you tomorrow too.”
“I know.”
Soon, the blue light that illuminated the crystal ball faded. I put my head down and cleared my mind.
Good job.
It’s good that you got the information.
Let’s do our best in the future.
After overcoming the skepticism, I raised my head. There was no time to lie helpless.
It is Frederick Geoff who saves the students in “Francis’ Quiz Game”. That is, in the foreseeable future.
However, unlike the original, it was moved forward by a week.
As a result, named characters – who did not participate in the original work – were able to participate, and it was unclear whether they could receive help from Frederick.
Since “Francis’s Quiz Game” is so difficult that even Karios can’t solve it, it could lead to a catastrophic death of a named character.
So I had to step in.
It would have been impossible with the original Leonard, but the current Leonard’s offensive magic has been lifted.
“Start.”
I put a magic field around my study. I opened an offensive magic book on my desk and cast a spell.
Geeing-
***
next day
Ever since Amilla’s rampage, the academy’s topic of conversation has been one.
Leonard’s defense magic.
The confrontation between Leonard and Amilla in front of everyone was truly a masterpiece. Amilla’s offensive magic was great, but Leonard’s defensive magic was fantastic beyond amazing.
A defensive magic that makes the viewer feel awe.
The ability to dare to harbor envy in the subject of the lesser class.
In the aftermath of that, at the academy, a phenomenon occurred where the attack class envied the defense class, and wizards who had already reached the upper grades tried to attend Leonard’s lectures.
For the first time in a while, Leonard was being talked about not because of his face, but because of his magic skills.
Narsha felt the popularity firsthand. Wherever I went, I heard Leonard’s story.
Even inside the magic tower.
“Did you see the confrontation that happened the other day, Jeniel?”
“I came back right before it happened, so I didn’t get to see it myself.”
“Hey, I’m really sorry. Professor Leonard is really great. I got goosebumps all the time watching it…”
“Leonarda- No, Professor Leonard has a reputation for original defense magic.”
Even at the campus cafe.
“You idiots, haven’t you guys seen Professor Leonard’s match?”
“That honourable professor? I heard rumors.”
“Ah, I’m starting again… It’s a government official that I saw very firsthand.”
“Ah, don’t be shy and tell me! How was it?”
even in the bathroom.
“Ugh- ha… Oh that’s right. did you hear about that?”
“I’ve heard it dozens of times, you crazy bitch.”
Narsha yelled at the mysterious toilet user. I left the bathroom without doing anything.
Leonard here, Leonard there.
There was no place in the academy that didn’t talk about Leonard.
At first, it appeared to the extent that it seemed empty, and then it suddenly followed as a tailing service, but now it harassed Narsha with rumors.
It was very boring.
“It’s like shit…”
Narsha headed to her private laboratory. I bet you won’t hear about Leonard there either.
It was at that time when he calmed down and headed to his private laboratory.
“uh? Narsha!”
“Lord of the Magic Tower…?”
In front of the lab, Catherine, the owner of the Mage Tower, was standing. Catherine, who found Narsha, approached her with quick steps.
“Yes, Narsha was waiting for you. did you hear about that? Well this time Leo-”
“Yes, I heard. I heard you.”
Narsha nodded as if she was tired. I was literally fed up.
To be honest, it was great, but not to the point of talking about it for days and days. I don’t know if it’s the same defense class, but I didn’t mean to come and tell the healing class.
But why is this man smiling brightly?
“I’ve been told so many times that it was so amazing and fantastic.”
“okay······? Did the rumor get there already? I got it for the first time today too.”
“yes? Did you receive it?”
“Leopatro’s skin. I had a hard time getting it at an auction this time. It’s a precious leather, so I was going to tell you first, but you heard it already?”
The skin of an experimental leopard.
Leopatro is an endangered species, so it was very difficult to obtain its skin. They only supply supplies from corpses, but there are only a few individuals and their lifespan is 300 years, so it was like picking stars from the sky.
You’ve been looking for that precious thing, but you’ve just heard the first letter ‘Leo’ and misunderstood it.
“No… that’s it, me… yes. I just happened to hear it.”
Narsha chose resignation instead of excuses. Catherine left leisurely, leaving behind the words, “That’s all you need to know.” Then, he turned his head around.
I stared at Narsha with narrowed eyes.
“Narsha. I know your personality is angular, but let’s be a little kinder next time. Do I have a direct relationship?”
“I’m sorry… I couldn’t sleep today…”
“okay. The research is in progress for a while, so I’ll be patient.”
“I’m really sorry… please go in.”
Narsha bowed her head and entered the lab. It’s a shame because the performance is so outstanding, even if it was a little lacking, it would have already been cut several times.
“under······”
Narsha sighed deeply and started researching.
Today, partial nerve recovery using ‘wild Perrier’s spinal cord’. It was an area that only Narsha was independently researching in the Empire.
“·······”
Narsha was immersed in her studies.
Forgetting all the previous quarrels, he focused only on analysis, and when he finished his quota, the window was covered with a dark night sky.
9:58 p.m.
Finished earlier than expected. I wanted to do tomorrow’s portion in advance, but I had to go in early because there was a research meeting in the morning.
Narsha packed her luggage.
I came out of the lab inadvertently and suddenly thought of the tailing service.
“Oh right.”
The study meeting was scheduled in a hurry today, so I couldn’t tell Leonard that I was leaving early.
You’ll have to wait until midnight for me.
“… you bastard. Should I just throw it away?”
Compared to the mistakes I made while dating, this level was at the level of cuteness. It was well worth giving up. On the other hand, I also wanted to see him struggling.
“still······”
That didn’t seem like much.
They say they do good things, but there is a duty as a human being.
Besides, if you look at Leonard’s recent activities, he’s no different than a completely different person.
He doesn’t enjoy his favorite nightlife, he devotes himself to the public good, and he doesn’t feel his characteristic arrogance.
More than anything, I really liked the way he worked hard.
It’s not like I’ve changed my mind, but I still get annoyed just by looking at her face, but since she seems to have changed her mind, I decided to visit her only this time.
Narsha headed to the Hectare Hall.
I got off the elevator and stood in the hallway on the 7th floor in question.
“·······”
A familiar yet unfamiliar smell in the empty hallway.
The place where I heard the breakup from Leonard a year ago.
Coming here again… I’m crazy.
Leaving the flashing memories behind, I walked to Leonard’s office.
Again – again – footsteps echoed in the quiet hallway. The office arrived shortly after.
Narsha, who had been thinking about it several times, knocked on the door.
smart-
Before long, the door was opened with “Yeomdong”. Narsha hesitantly went inside. I just frowned and said.
“Hey… are you inside?”
Magic fields all over the place.
In the office, where noble mana spread thickly, Leonard looked at him with a dumbfounded face.
It was something I hadn’t expected.
…Anyway, the magical power that spreads through the air current.
It wasn’t just life force. It was a much denser ‘series magic’.
Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he was researching magic. Did the guy who used to only believe in talent and be lazy in the past really change?
Narsha, who was staring blankly at Leonard, asked.
“What were you doing?”
“that is······”
It was at that time that Leonard spoke out with difficulty.
Blue light emitted from the crystal ball and a female voice leaked out.
– I can’t stand it any longer. Today, too
The simultaneously expressed barrier covered the crystal ball. Then, it shattered the crystal ball with a crackling sound.
Narsha looked at Leonard with a surprised look.
“Why…?”
“·······”
Cold sweat was running down Leonard’s forehead.
“… Bar, I was practicing defensive magic.”
“Ah… somehow.”
Narsha nodded her head.
Oh… you really work hard, don’t you? How hard do you even sweat ?
