How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 77

Over several days, the arena was cleaned and the bodies of the Lizardmen and Wyverns were disposed of.

After that, the test started again.

There was no change in the content of the test.

There are students who have already taken the test and even been graded, but now I can’t change it.

“Oooh!”

“Even stage 5 was eliminated!”

And the test was successfully completed.

I don’t know the score yet, but it was Xian who killed the highest level golem among the first years.

He will probably be number one as long as there are no big variables.

“As expected, Cyan Agrid… … .”

“They said he was the one who caught the culprit this time.”

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be pushed back even against your seniors? I think there were rumors that I was at the top of my sophomore year.”

There was no one who had the same rumors about Xi’an as before.

Those rumors haven’t gone away. However, the new rumors caused by Xi’an’s actions were gradually covering up the old rumors.

Numerous first-year students challenged Xian, and some were fairly broken, while others received commendations for finding and blocking an illegal laboratory belonging to a professor of Mamulology.

“Did I tell you? Because I’m not that kind of guy.”

“I know. That’s great.”

In addition, the students of Class 1, the same class, had already changed their perception of Xian from before.

I see him every day because of class, but I’ve never seen him say abusive words or make a lasting remark, let alone an accident, so I have no choice but to change.

Just like that, the eventful exam period was really over.

After the exam, the students’ daily routine went back to normal.

As usual, I attend classes until late, and at night I work hard on my own training.

A few days later, the test results were announced.

“Hey, how old are you?”

Ran asked as he touched Xi’an’s desk. In her hand was Ran’s report card, which had the grade of 2nd overall.

When Xian took out his report card, Ran snatched it away and confirmed it.

“Ugh… … .”

Then, with a teary expression, he left the classroom.

Xian carefully folded the falling report card and put it in his bag.

“Sian, thank you for teaching me. Thanks to you, I didn’t get paid!”

I also received a thank you from Erje. If it was the written test, I had already received it before, but when I actually received the report card, I was impressed.

In fact, her written grades were 152nd, which was a huge difference from when she was in 300th place.

“… … thank you.”

In addition, Yu Seol also reported that thanks to this, he passed without being suspended.

In the meantime, Xian brought up the subject of it to her.

“Come to think of it, do you know that you are Cheondo-maeng?”

“?”

However, she blinks her eyes and tilts her head.

Just by looking at his face, I could tell he had no idea.

“What does that Psyche inside of you know?”

When he said that, Psyche became furious after hearing Xian’s words.

[The winter snake pouting its lips.]

[It’s the first time I came to the ground through Seol-ah, so I mumbled what to do then.]

“Psyche was confined to me and my family until she came here, so she doesn’t know much about this place.”

“I see.”

After listening to Yoo Seol who made an excuse instead, Xian continued Cheon Do Maeng’s explanation.

Simply put, a gathering of those who oppose the Dark Magic Tower.

However, the members are too fancy to ignore it as a simple gathering.

They say there are as many as three High Masters, and there are some Master-class or high-ranking nobles.

“… … Why is that? I don’t know if it’s the Dark Magic Tower or something.”

“Yeah, but I don’t know if they will understand the situation.”

The biggest characteristic of the black magician of the Black Mage Tower is that they receive power from the demons of hell.

The trait was exactly right for both of them.

It would be fine if the Chundo Meng were people who carefully checked whether or not they belonged to the Dark Magic Tower, but it was not always possible to see that.

Rather than clinging to such vague speculations, it would be safer to avoid them altogether.

‘Still, I’m glad I found out in advance.’

Cheondomaeng is the existence of these people. Because you know in advance, you can prepare and prepare your mind.

It can be seen as one of the biggest achievements achieved during this test period.

And one more achievement.

“Whoa.”

After parting with Yoo Seol.

Under the night sky embroidered with stars, Xian was training alone as always.

It has already become a daily routine to concentrate on training at night as well as build up energy at night.

Although it was short of time, there was no big problem because it was refreshing as if I had a good night’s sleep even if I hadn’t slept for a few hours after building up my energy for the night.

Hwareuk.

The aura he raised engulfed the surroundings. little by little, slowly.

It was just imitating, recalling the movement of the Dragon King’s energy, but it was not without spiritual achievements.

What is occupying space?

Little by little, but the feeling was coming.

but.

‘Is it right to practice this?’

It was inevitable that delusion would come.

Originally, it is a skill that is learned naturally only after reaching the level of a master by stepping into the world of images.

But to learn it like a shortcut, not even a master, is this really the right direction for growth?

It was almost the first delusion experienced by Xian, who had always been training without interruption.

If I hadn’t even imitated this kind of thing, I wouldn’t have worried at all.

‘What can I do?’

But what does it mean to be?

Since ancient times, he was a child who learned quite a few things just by looking at them.

It was not uncommon for him to absorb what Yeomno once taught or demonstrated once.

Thanks to that, at the age of 14, he was able to learn all the swordsmanship in the Agrid family – except for the vision -.

After that, for the next three years, he succeeded in compressing the countless swordsmanships he had mastered into just three swordsmanships.

Because he was like that, he was also able to acquire this ‘space-occupying skill’, albeit at a weak level.

Even the one who showed it to Xian wasn’t a clumsy master anywhere.

The Demon Dragon King, who is said to be the Overlord of Hell. that mighty being.

I witnessed the best educational materials with my own two eyes, felt them with my body, and even went to the brink of death.

Isn’t it the best environment for learning?

But what I’m worried about is whether this kind of expedient growth is really right.

‘It’s possible, but it doesn’t make sense to grit and not get used to it.’

But for now, let’s do our best to learn.

Soon after, the end-of-semester prom, and after that, it’s vacation.

After returning to the family, ask the Yeomno at the appropriate time. Then anything will be answered.

“draft.”

While trying to meditate at dawn, Xian heard a voice calling him.

When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Allen standing in front of me with a hard expression.

what. Did this guy come to say thank you for teaching me his studies?

“What is it, tonight?”

“There is something I want to ask you.”

However, the atmosphere that Allen exuded was far from the warm atmosphere of Erjena’s scandal.

Something sharp, but a bit hesitant.

Sian frowned and stood up from his seat.

Come to think of it, this guy said he was the same as the president.

Did you hear anything from the president?

“I’ve been looking at it ever since, but honestly, I don’t know. But just by looking at it, I’m not really sure.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You said it then. The black magician who came in during the test had the ability to change the soul and steal the body.”

“It did.”

Hearing that, Xian blinked.

no, you can’t… … .

“I’m sorry, but let me check properly just once.”

Hwareuk-! Blue flames rose around the two, forming a six-sided coffin.

One of Allen’s techniques, ‘Chain’.

The tactic to confine the enemy from escaping was being cast on Xian.

“Are you really Xian?”

visor.

Allen drew his sword and aimed it at Xian.

* * *

I thought the day would come when I could see his flames someday.

Aren’t they in the same grade at the same school?

He hadn’t bothered to challenge himself because he wasn’t interested in the number of rings, but even if it weren’t for that, the day when he and Allen would collide in class or at a school event would surely come one day.

But to think it would come this soon.

‘Rather, it’s good to be able to check quickly… … .’

Xian sighed and closed his eyes.

‘Altima’s flame does not harm the ordinary body, but only burns demonic energy.’

I remember the story of the goblin that was attacked by him in the Great Hill.

I didn’t forget that Professor Derek, who had been partly descended by Dark Eater, was fine even after being showered with fire.

What kind of reaction will happen when the fire is directed at Confucius or himself?

I would be lying if I said I didn’t care.

“If I wasn’t the real Xian, would I have said that rather than stealing my body and replacing my soul?”

“know. In my head, I also think that Xian is right. but… … .”

“You mean you don’t want to miss even the slightest possibility?”

“… … huh.”

So what to do… … .

Running away is dismissal without thinking. It’s like advertising yourself as suspicious.

If he did that, the information would spread all at once through the Cheondo League to which Allen belonged.

There is information that Sian Agrid is a warlock.

‘If there is no reaction to Altima’s flame, there is no problem, but what if there is a reaction?’

That’s when things get a lot messy.

If that happens, you have two choices.

Choosing to run away while risking an endless life of escape.

‘And the other… … .’

Xian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Allen.

Allen looked at Xian with a bitter smile and did not notice the small change in Xian.

“I told Altima that I was a friend. Is having doubts easily about this the kind of friend you are talking about?”

“sorry. But I want to believe it too.”

“You speak well.”

“If not… … I’m really sorry. I will get down on my knees and apologize.”

I tried to scratch the guilt of the guy, but he didn’t budge.

The will to check it somehow was as strong as an iron tendon.

It must mean that the existence of a black magician is the top priority in him.

Hwareuk.

“Allen! He’s your blind friend. No need to doubt your friends… … .”

A flame blazed on the guy’s shoulder, and a figure resembling a courteous little tiger appeared.

Xian saw her again at the unexpected support.

When I think of my usual attitude, I thought it would be okay to explode it right away with joy.

“It is necessary.”

Even dismissing Altima’s words of concern, Allen raised a spark.

From under Xian’s feet, two spheres of fire spiraled up to the tip of Xian’s head.

Inside, Xian was crossing his arms with a displeased expression on his face.

It’s like trying to do something.

Contrary to his appearance, however, his eyes were coldly scrutinizing Allen.

Allen said without noticing it.

“Then I’ll go.”

“Try it.”

Allen clenched his fist tightly with his outstretched hand.

The flames that circled around Xian burst out and attacked Xian.

Sian’s hand, with his arms crossed, naturally gains strength.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but be nervous.

Depending on the outcome, a lot could change in the future.

And the result.

‘Hot… … I didn’t.’

It was nothing.

Xian spread his hand with a slightly surprised expression.

In fact, deep down he thought the odds of getting caught by Allen were pretty high.

That’s right.

It was confirmed by Dark Eater that Altima’s flame is effective against demons in Hell.

And, given the circumstances, wasn’t Ravi also one of the demons of Hell, like the Dark Eater?

But nothing.

In the midst of the dense flames that were burning bright enough to cover all of his sons-in-law, Xian was fine without a single collar burned.

There was no pain like when the Dark Eater was burning, and there was no reaction to the spirit imprints or the energy of the night.

That moment.

A thought flashed through Xian’s head.

‘if… … .’

It’s all just speculation, isn’t Ravi actually a demon?
