I Summoned a Max Level Demon by Myself

Episode 12

The first day of the first semester at the academy.

As if to announce the start, a message rang in my head as I opened my eyes and yawned.

《Scores for surprise evaluation items will be settled.》

“Preliminaries”

《This quest is a surprise evaluation item that is not announced in advance.》

《Evaluation items》

And that wasn’t all.

《Acquire experience.》

《You have reached level 5》

《Acquire 25pts of level-up bonus skill points.》

good job.

“It’s not a paper test.”

If you think about it, even in the game, information about the region and a little tutorial were given for three days before the semester started.

Is it a similar concept?

It seems that he is receiving a fairly generous evaluation thanks to the well-spent three days.

“draft”

《Class: Warlock》

You’re getting stronger! I’m getting stronger!

“draft? What are you so worried about looking up at the ceiling?”

Meanwhile, Emily mutters to herself and looks at me wonderingly.

“It’s no big deal. I have to go to class from today, so I have something to organize my thoughts.”

“It’s a class… … . heh? That’s right. It was from today.”

Emily smiles strangely, as if she’s up to something.

Probably not, but in case you don’t know, let’s ask.

“Remember when I told you not to play with the little kids?”

“oh? What do you see with this older sister? Succubus is a race of loyalty. I don’t know if it’s a free body without a contract, but as long as it’s a contract, I won’t touch others!”

… … I never thought I would hear words of loyalty from the mouth of a succubus. Say goodbye.

“Above all, I’m just curious about what Xian will do.”

“… … That sounds just like saying I’m going to have an accident.”

“Isn’t it?”

“… … Okay, let’s get ready to go out.”

If you are late for class from the first day, you lose face.

Even if it is the main character, lateness is not allowed for the villain.

Sincerity is the only virtue of a villain.

And that’s all I have to do.

“Because you’re only going to imitate an honor student?”

* * *

It brings together talented people and makes them blossom whatever their qualities.

There is nothing that cannot be learned here, and there is no knowledge and talent to be neglected.

‘It’s literally a chowder of learning… … .’

Starting with things like swordsmanship, learning, and magic.

Spiritualism and alchemy are also studied and taught.

Even that was not enough, to the art of handling iron and art such as painting and music.

A place that faithfully practices the meaning that nothing matters as long as you have the qualities to learn and realize.

‘Thinking about it, being an academy student isn’t bad.’

You can learn.

My knowledge is limited to the settings and tricks I got from the game, and I don’t know much about how to live here, so I’m a bit lax.

The reason why his eyes are open and his nose is not cut is because the original ‘Xian’ side is mixed to some extent.

‘It’s better to learn what you can learn in the possible classes.’

We will pay special attention not to miss classes as much as possible.

‘Even trivial things might be important to me.’

For example, the class you are taking right now.

magic theory.

A compulsory liberal arts course that must be taken by students belonging to classes related to magic.

In addition to that, it is a class that is not a little taken in departments that require skill or knowledge to deal with mana, such as alchemy or spiritism.

“Today, I will explain and practice the theory and concept of mana manipulation.”

Professor Pieton, who leads the class.

His major is public magic.

As a magician, he reached the 5th circle and submitted numerous papers, so he is a famous professor who is called a talented person in the magic academia.

“What is mana? And you must know what its characteristics are.”

foundation of foundations.

“You may be able to sense and manipulate mana, but you may not fully understand it yet.”

Let’s compare it to an electronic machine.

Even if you are used to using a convenient machine, you do not know the principle and use it. It’s not just learning how to use it and writing it.

The same goes for magic. Manipulation of spells and mana to cause phenomena by changing them through established theories.

You can write it if you memorize it and repeat it, but do you know how that is possible?

“First of all, you should understand the basics of mana. Hmm, can you explain the basic properties of mana? draft?”

But why did the arrow come this way and stick it?

“A characteristic of mana?”

“Yes. Just tell me the basic features.”

be the foundation

Fortunately, this concept is a setting mentioned in the game. There’s nothing I can’t answer.

“The first characteristic of mana is that it has no characteristics.”

“Hey, go ahead.”

“Basically unrefined and uncontrolled natural mana has no properties.”

Mana is everywhere.

The specific gravity contained in the atmosphere is the highest, followed slightly by water. In addition, it is a fundamental energy element that remains in small amounts in food.

“However, basic mana is invisible and cannot be sensed by touch, taste, or smell.”

It is not because the unit is small, but because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

nothing can be measured

“If there is an exception, it is the cognitive ability that escapes the physical senses. It is the sixth sense, commonly referred to as the awakening state of mana.”

“It’s okay if I don’t have to explain that far. Then why do we seek and use mana without that characteristic?”

This man seems strangely excited.

Is it because there are not many students who answer correctly?

“This is the second characteristic, but it lies in the fact that when certain conditions are entered into the mana of such a natural body, the characteristic can be obtained in various ways.”

Depending on how you use the natural mana, mana can be used in various ways.

That is mana, which is said to be almighty and a resource of nature.

“For example, knights form an aura by adding physical force to mana, and in our case, we create a phenomenon by matching the conditions of a spell.”

“I understand you well.”

It is a somewhat satisfied face.

“Sian, were you a freshman in the black magic department? Professor Daniel will love it.”

If it was Professor Daniel, was he the black magic class professor at the academy that he hadn’t met yet?

Preparation for the first class was difficult, so it seems it will take longer to start.

“According to Xian’s answer, it is our duty to understand the conditions for using mana and also to develop new methods.”

How important and difficult it is. Just imagining it will make your head dizzy.

“I don’t mean to arrive at that level of insight overnight. First of all, let’s practice the manipulation theory of that mana as a basis.”

When the professor gestures, the students who assist in class quickly pick up and carry the table and set something.

Dozens of dark blue minerals.

“There is probably no one who doesn’t know what this is.”

It is a magic stone.

A mineral that exists because mana has been condensed and solidified for some reason.

Originally, it would only be used as fuel or materials for research.

“It is to interfere with the condensed mana of this magic stone and practice the manipulation of mana through it.”

Today’s task is to improve mana control.

The range of mana that can be handled must be widened to increase the variety of power and tactics.

“I will give special extra points to students with good records.”

How many will you get?

There is no end to the mana control tips. An area where even skilled mages must spend their entire lives training.

Of course, the level that new chicks can use must be very low.

Most of the students listen to the theory and challenge it, but at most one magic stone, or students with a little bit of wisdom can only control about two mana.

Seeing as I don’t really criticize, I wonder if that’s good enough.

“Next, Celidia Milonil.”

The girl who caught my eye first with cat ears, as if I had seen it somewhere, woke up.

Celidia Milonil.

Belongs to the Spiritual Art class.

Without saying a word, she stood in front of the table where the magic stones were piled up.

“… … .”

I just stare quietly.

With that alone, more than ten magic crystals react and scatter light.

“Very good. Even if I can’t do it, I will have to train for five years.”

“… … It’s simple.”

Saying it as if it was nothing, she backs away without even listening to the professor’s praise.

It’s an assignment, but it doesn’t seem to be interested in achievements or compliments from those around you.

Now it’s my turn.

(What do you want to do? Xian? Everyone is looking forward to it?)

‘It seems like it’s the next turn of that genius, so I’m just giving you useless expectations.’

No, don’t expect it, right? plaguy.

Because that blunt elemental sage showed useless genius, expectations for me only rose.

Please be considerate of the next person!

‘… … Then I don’t have to be considerate!’

Let’s make up our mind and practice.

Mana Manipulation Theory.

‘What does mana respond to, and what does it manipulate.’

I already knew the answer to that passage.

A truthful answer beyond what the professor explained.

But I’m treated like a dreamer even if I talk painfully, so that’s all I have to do.

‘implement.’

and showing off.

Standing in front of a table stacked with magic stones, he stretched out his hand.

Close your eyes and be conscious of mana.

It expands the range of senses and gives commands to manipulate all mana detected within it.

‘The truth that deals with mana is consciousness.’

The third characteristic of mana that has not yet been explained.

Mana is drawn to the consciousness of a thinking being.

Mana recognizes thoughts. And it is said that the deeper and clearer the desire, the more it responds.

‘then… … .’

If I make up my mind, how much mana will reciprocate.

“… … huh?”

Someone took a questioning breath.

Did I feel a sense of incongruity?

The first thing that shone was the stacked magic crystals.

one… … two… … More than five, ten… … twelve… … .

And twenty more.

The magic stone’s mana is reduced to light and flows out, coiling according to my instructions.

‘It’s still a long way.’

You can have more control.

Whether it’s my original qualities or the virtue of learning tips and training with Emily’s help, I feel more relaxed.

Where’s the mana for more control? Waiting is not enough.

then?

Roaring. Lamps installed on the ceiling and top of the walls in the classroom flickered.

The lamp in the academy is a type of device that emits light by inserting magic stones and burning them.

‘Shall we play a joke?’

By forcibly blinking, the mana that flowed out like the momentum of a spark joins the flow I control.

The light enough to color the surroundings is put under my control and goes through changes.

Margie.

I have a lot of talent as a black magician, so basically all the energy I command changes to the nature of magic.

The sight of that black torrent rushing around me somehow intrigues me a little.

Isn’t this a bit out of shape?

“… … .”

Everyone was barely breathing.

In particular, Celidia was staring at me with her eyes wide open like a cat looking at a firecracker exploding in front of her eyes.

“How is it? professor?”

“… … Great.”

Even the professor praised me, swallowing dry saliva as if unexpectedly.

For some reason, even my voice is trembling.

“It’s an unusual sensitivity… … . Are you really a freshman?”

“The original ideal freshman is good at everything.”

Where is such a rookie?

Right here.

《Appeal for excellent performance during class.》

《Your reputation will increase.》

《Acquire experience.》

Above all else, the only thing you get is grades.

‘This might give me the taste of imitating an honor student.’
