I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Chapter 78

“Meiji himself?”

“okay. This is the final check.”

Kanin Mage Artine.

A legendary wizard who once served as the corps commander of the Confederate Front, on an equal footing with Coltman, who was in charge of the Northern Wall.

The soldier guarding the exit of the barrier politely took courtesy, but apart from the courtesy, there were matters to be observed.

“It wasn’t planned, but… … .”

3 am. It wasn’t early morning, it was just a dark night.

All forces leaving the barrier, even Coltman himself, are guided by a complete reporting system.

The name of Kanin Mage Altain was clearly not on the list of people who would leave the barrier today.

“Actually, it is also a personal desire.”

“Greed, if you say so.”

“It’s the same front, but it’s the farthest away, so I’m going to look at the front of the northern barrier and learn from it compared to the Confederate front. If there is anything better in the south, there may be a need to improve.”

“Then it is better to speak directly to the Corps Commander… … .”

“Yes, this man. Don’t I have face too? How can you bow your head to a young guy? Then the soldiers in the South are going to be fools.”

“Ahaha, that’s right.”

How did the Kanin Mage Artain contribute to the Empire and even to this continent? As a single soldier, I dared not doubt it.

“Don’t leave it as a special note. I’ll take care of myself and tell the second person I’ll go back.”

“All right.”

clap.

The exit closed, and Kanin headed for a moderately dimly lit corner.

He dug a deep tunnel with magic and escaped the guards of the outpost soldiers through the underground.

For a mage, a 7-star wizard, it was as simple as lifting a finger.

“Tsk.”

It’s just dissatisfaction that he did the same thing as the monster that took the lives of young students.

Kanin shook off the dirt once and took out a radar from his bosom.

After confirming what Frid Raspid and Ainim von Rongrth were carrying, they went to Neil Aindarok.

There was one left, so I cheated and got it because it would be of great help to the operation.

“I’m sure you’ll feel comfortable.”

You can see the red dots sticking to each other. Even Rockstrin knows that he is asleep at this time.

He seems to be sleeping soundly as he is busy helping the students throughout the training. It was fortunate.

‘The preparations are sufficient.’

Not everyone knows, but I lost quite a bit of weight because of the incidents that happened while I was appointed as a professor recently. The soldier wouldn’t have noticed.

He brought two days’ worth of dry food under his generous-looking robe.

Looking back at the barrier now far away, Kanin smiled lightly.

“Heh heh, you’ve been holding up well.”

It is a small wish that I wanted to convey.

To the fortified northern walls, Coltman, Derek, Aindarroch’s soldiers, mobilized students, Imperials, and people of all continents.

Also, especially to Baeller Rongrd.

Report to Lockstrin Aindarok.

“I will endure like that from now on.”

After saying that, Kanin turned around.

While everyone was asleep, only one lonely footstep silently headed north.

* * *

“School, Professor? how… … .”

“What a nice face. It’s because I haven’t seen you lately.”

It was absurd.

I thought I couldn’t feel anything even though the red dot was coming closer.

However, Kanin Mage Artine rose from the ground. At the very center of the whirlwind that he was nudged into.

“Weren’t you at the barrier?”

“Don’t get hung up on the little things. I’ve been waiting for you since I came a lot earlier than you guys, so I thought I was going to die of hunger.”

I should have brought more. Kanin laughed and suddenly stretched his hand over his head.

“professor!”

“I know.”

The control of magical power that Baeller was holding was taken away at once.

The opponent was Kanin, a 7-star mage. Even Baeller couldn’t help it.

The whirlwind of [Blade Vortex] stopped in place. It was the result that Rocktrin was concerned about. getting in the way of magic.

“no way… … .”

“Hey, no way. I’ve dedicated my life to the Empire. Are you suspicious of me?”

“Then what is it? At this rate, the magic will disappear.”

“It can’t be helped. I’m not good at wind attribute magic.”

“What is that… … .”

“「Terra Tropine Arpon-」”

It was a sudden incantation.

The flow of magical power changes in an instant. The raging wind was nowhere to be found, and all the magic power of the magic core spread throughout the area permeated the land.

““—Les Adia Dura””

7-star magic “Wolf”.

I thought I would never be able to reach it, so I skimmed through the thesis, but I didn’t know what kind of magic it was. Only a small question remained as to why it had such an odd name.

“I remember the first time I made it. It was 20 years ago. I was far from a genius anyway.”

He did not receive the title of Meiji until he reached the age of 60.

With that, he made a mark on the Confederate front and inherited the corps commander, so it was a shame as a wizard that the beginning and end were the same.

“But not with me.”

Woo woo woo!

The land let out a long, long cry. Only then did I know why it was given such a name.

It shakes as if the sky and the earth were toppled over, making a heavy and melancholy sound.

It was a wolf howl.

“professor.”

“Ai-nim and Rockstrin. And you too.”

“no. Professor, I am!”

“You mean young.”

Slowly, Kanin’s mouth and nose bleed at the same time. His white beard was dyed red.

The magical power of the magic core is engulfing the caster in earnest. Since time was running out, Baeller couldn’t even stop talking.

The wind has stopped.

“It makes so many things possible.”

“then… … .”

“Do you think I’m saving you? you’re welcome. You are far away now.”

“I know.”

“But he is young.”

Took.

Dirt rose from beneath Baeller as Kanin stomped lightly.

The soil soon forms a slow, thick and solid wall. The wall that rose little by little wrapped around Baeller.

“And I have a theory that will give wings to all young wizards. The world will be a little different in the future.”

“What can I do? I am nothing.”

“You know? At the time of admission, Rockstrin couldn’t even use 1-star magic.”

“Yes… … ?”

Baeller asked with a dumbfounded face.

“Surprisingly true. You weren’t even a wizard at first.”

“Rockstrin must have used magic when the monsters invaded Summer Turge.”

“At that time, I barely reached 1 star. barely. Or have you ever seen them use 2-star magic?”

“No… … It is.”

“During the midterm exam, I narrowly reached 2 stars again. while going to sleep at night. Just chasing after the tail. It should have barely reached 4 stars by now. It is certain that I am still under you.”

In hindsight, yes.

Although Rockstrin’s known star rating was at least 3-star, he has never performed 3-star magic.

We ran into each other several times in the practice room, but even then they were just practicing the two-adult [Wind Curtain].

“However… … . But Professor.”

Something after all.

Rocktrin is great. It’s genius.

Didn’t he create a new magic theory in less than a year, and had already reached 4 stars?

Compared to that, what about you?

“I’m not Rockstrin.”

The extreme environment of the magic core is also the best environment to learn magic.

Spent 5 years there and only 4 stars. Although it reached 5 stars, it was not proficient except for certain magic.

It’s pitiful compared to the one year of Rocktrin, where he got caught up in various incidents and became the student representative with the first grade in his grades.

Kanin replied with a smile.

“okay. So, will Rocktrin be with you?”

“… … .”

“I will never forget the guilt of trying to put you to death.”

when burying daisies.

I remember the look on Rockstrin’s expression as he was submerged in the rain.

I remember the trembling of the slender hand outstretched toward the death I watched in front of my eyes.

He vomited countless times on his way back. He must have been a stranger.

“It will change a lot. Your future, and the future of this continent.”

A rising wall blocked the view.

I stretched out my hand, but the wall that wrapped around Baeller like a cocoon didn’t budge.

“And I am now, seeking your future that will change that way.”

Took.

Something fell through the hole above my head. It was an emeritus professor badge.

Before long, the wall was covered up to the top of my head, and it was pitch black.

“I’m not saying just get help.”

“What can I do?”

“What? It’s not up to you alone. Fortunately, Rockstrin has many friends… … . Kuck.”

“Are you all right, Professor?”

“All right. It was a long talk. I need to concentrate now.”

I couldn’t see the front, but it looks like I vomited blood once more.

“Can you tell me when you get back?”

Fairy tale wizard, living legend.

Two pages are recorded under that name in the history book, the will of Kanin Mage Artine, who was a corps commander in the Confederate Front and an emeritus professor at Somerset.

“You’ve done your job.”

Delivered by one student to one student.

I shouldn’t have fainted this time, but Kanin laughed lightly.

“Yes.”

Baeller’s body, wrapped in answers and dirt, leaned. This round ball will roll around and safely reach Lockstrin.

After rolling Baeller away, Kanin encountered a black wave after the wind died down.

“It’s fun.”

I feel relieved.

I’ve spent my whole life fighting monsters, so I’ve been thinking that if there’s an end to it someday, it’d be nice to do that too.

It’s the last thing I didn’t hope for.

woo woo woo-

after a while

The wolf’s howl ceased.

Nothing was left on the ground.

* * *

“senior.”

I patted my cheek.

He was breathing, but no matter how much he shook his shoulders or hit him enough to make his cheek swell red, he didn’t wake up.

“I have to explain. senior.”

“Platoon commander, there is no time. We must move quickly.”

“Why did you come back alive?”

It was absurd.

When all the magic power of the magic core was exhausted and came out, there was a round ball.

When I touched it, the ball split open, and Baeller Rongrte came out from the inside.

“… … under.”

Even the corpse should have been spread out, but the surroundings were clean. It’s just that the color of the soil has changed.

It wasn’t the [Blade Vortex] that wiped out the entire monster.

It was earth attribute magic.

“Platoon commander.”

“We move.”

Baeller started moving after having one of the knights on his back. The conclusion was already drawn, but I asked O’Neill, who is also an earth attribute mage.

“Do you know what kind of magic this is?”

“Yes. I know.”

“Who wrote it?”

“I know that too.”

“I just want you to tell me that I am not the Kanin Meiji Artine.”

“… … Meiji Kanin is right.”

“Like a dog.”

If I had been carrying Baeller on my back, I might have thrown him to the floor.

Baeller Rongrt, who should have died in the eighth episode, survived.

Kanin Mage Artain, who should have been alive until the twelfth episode, is dead. Let’s summarize.

A 5-star wizard survived.

A 7-star wizard died in his place.

‘How can I stop this?’

impossible.

absurd

In place of just one student, a mage-class wizard died. to stop this? There were no foreshadowings.

Kanin Mage Artine.

I was able to leave the barrier without leaving my name on the roster.

They started a long way ahead of time, dug a hole in the same way, and were waiting in the area where the operation was to be carried out.

I looked back and said.

“Maybe he could have survived.”

“Impossible.”

“It’s Meiji. It might have survived somehow.”

“Impossible.”

“Oh, shit. Don’t answer me because I’m just talking to myself. I know the professor is dead. Do you understand?”

“… … Yes.”

“I can’t throw that away, really.”

Running through the empty plains.

Even after hearing swear words next to me all day, O’Neill never showed any discomfort.

Indeed, Coltman was like a long-standing loyalist.
