34 – 1st Year Dalian Test

After the case is settled, inside the principal’s office.

Prior to speaking, the principal used soundproofing magic to prevent the conversation from leaking out.

“Then how should I start talking… This is the student I want to introduce you to.”

“As expected.”

The president of the association was touching his beard as if he was enjoying this situation.

“For now, Ido-kun. Can you show me your magic seal?”

She showed her her student ID with her magic seal revealed to her.

“Ido Kim, ranked 222nd in the freshman year of Delaon Academy. This is the unknown S-class wizard SS. Is this also me?”

“Huh.”

She was silent for a moment with her bemused expression.

“Would you have imagined that. The Delaon Academy entrance exam boasts of perfection among perfection… But to hide this level of ability and enter at the bottom of the line…”

I was really weak during the entrance exam. I didn’t think you would believe me even if I said that, so I decided not to say anything.

She continued her words, staring at the sword at my waist.

“You really have a bad taste. Is using a sword included in your bad taste? A wizard is a sword…”

“No. This is not a hobby.”

Here, I decided to quote the line that touched me among the words of the main character.

“Double swords are my life.”

“…I see. There’s one more thing I want to point out. The black sword. Surely it’s not the curse of Nemesis?”

Are you sharp?

For some reason, during the opening ceremony of the Dalian exam in the morning, he stared at my sword. The answer to this question was given by the president of the association.

“That’s right. I gave it to you.”

“Did this old man really break the curse of Nemesis?”

“Because I thought he was right. Lee Do-kun. Can you show me?”

After nodding, he pulled out the curse of Nemesis. At the same time, a notification that HP was consumed and that it was restored with super regenerative ability appeared.

“Look at that. A stronger instrument comes out than when we sealed it away, but he doesn’t mind.”

“!”

She was startled, she stuttered a few times then she spoke straight.

“This. Ha… This is really surprising. To think that someone who fully handles the curse of Nemesis will appear. What is the sword next to it? It’s not as strong as Nemesis, but I can feel it.”

“It’s a bit underpaid, but it’s a blade gust fang.”

Sug-

I took it out and showed it right away.

“To be inferior in rank. Both are weapons capable of shaking the world. I don’t know if what I’m seeing is a dream or a real life. A 17-year-old student who has just entered the high school academy can simultaneously wield a gust of blade and the curse of Nemesis at the same time. Are you holding…”

She was silent again, but this time she glared at the president of the association.

“Old man! What the hell did you raise? SS was also your student?”

“Unfortunately not. It came rolling in all of a sudden. Pumpkins whole.”

“Anyway, sir, I was born with a human character.”

At that time, the president of the association approached me and pushed his staff.

“But, speaking of the magic control you use. As I was concerned, an S-class magician caught me at once.”

That’s right. His magic power is high, but his magical talent is low, so he can’t use advanced magic.

“If you don’t mind, can I walk you? Like a magic seal, you can control it.”

“Oh. I like it?”

“I help too. It’s fortunate that I am. I don’t want to imagine what would have happened if I had been caught by another S-class wizard first.”

Two people approach me and extend their staffs.

“Heh heh. How long has it been since we used cooperative magic with our locals?”

“Yes. Unfortunately, it has been used again for the Curse of Nemesis. But then, is the Curse of Nemesis you have fake?”

“That’s right. I used my previous major to make a fake.”

“…Now, no more surprises.”

The two staffs flashed, and the light moved to the two swords.

[Lee Tae-san and Lee Hyun-ji are trying to teach the highest level of magic control magic. Would you accept?]

As soon as I nodded, a notification appeared saying that I had learned a new skill.

[You have learned the highest level of magic control.]

Awesome!

“Thanks to both of you. Thanks to you, it will be easier for me to be active.”

“No.”

“That’s right. Never mind. The student said he would do the right thing, but as the principal, can I just watch it? Then, let’s move on to the topic and tell you what just happened.”

Mine Lee Seong-jin, thanks to her fog, was able to easily defeat her without being discovered.

Mine Lee Seong-jin serves as a turning point in the original work. Because as soon as he collapses, the demon slowly begins to emerge.

“The mines are starting to move now. Students from Delaon Academy, maybe even among the teachers.”

“Yes. It might be among the Witch Beasts Association. Were there any reports from students who were invited to become mines?”

“I’ve been reported several times, but it didn’t help much. Everyone said the same thing. It was like there was an ominous current flowing around the face and body, so it was difficult to recognize who it was.”

“There’s no crazy guy who’s going to show his bare face and invite a demon.”

That madman. There is Lee Seong-jin. Ah. No more

While the two were talking, I slowly reflected on the development of who was the Mine in the original work.

“It’s very difficult. You’re a Mine, right? I can’t even knock you down.”

The headmaster sighed heavily and said this.

“Nemesis, queen of predation. If she had her power, she would have been much easier.”

“Heh heh. Why is there no power of Nemesis?”

At the words of the association president, the principal looked at me in pain.

“That’s right… Kim Yi-do, a student, no, SS, was using the power of Nemesis. I just forgot to believe it when I heard it.”

He looked at me with a smile on his face, like the expression of a person who has gained strong support.

“What do you think? Will you join us?”

“Cancer. Of course we have to add it~. We didn’t cast the highest level magic control magic for nothing.”

“Uh huh. You too. You shouldn’t expect anything in return for doing a good job.”

Isn’t this the perfect answer for you?

Of course I will help you. Mine and the final boss, the connection between the two is very strong.

“Aren’t you already on the same boat? I’ve already made up my mind.”

“As expected, I like that you’re cool.”

“hahahaha! Just like the old man said. I’m starting to like you more and more.”

At the end of the story, the head of the association stopped me, saying that the most important thing was still left.

“That’s right, sir. That’s the most important thing.”

What is it? I thought I was the only one who didn’t know so I asked.

“It’s called two names. S-class wizard SS. Shouldn’t there be something in between?”

“…”

The head of the association recommended these words when it was difficult to respond.

“How about Secret Palace? It’s a perfect fit for you.”

“Uh huh. These days, young people don’t like Chinese characters. The mainstream is English. How about Shadow?”

“Both are different. Just don’t stick them together.”

“Sorry…”

“I will.”

Sorry or not, the talk is over. When I was about to leave the principal’s office, the head of the association stopped me.

“Whoops. Now that you have another holiday, you must be thinking of subduing the demons? Where are you planning to go this time?”

“Um… I’m trying to catch Bingryong.”

“Rain, Bingryong?!”

If you catch him, you can get a passive skill that greatly enhances the ice attribute.

With those words, I left the principal’s office. When I came out, my homeroom teacher and Sohee were waiting for me.

Since Sohee knew everything about me, she didn’t say much, but the teacher seemed to be very worried, so as soon as she saw me, she shouted.

“Ido!”

“What are you doing?”

Then he grabbed my hands tightly.

“I heard the news! I almost got into trouble. Lee Seong-jin was the Mine…”

“Well. I was lucky. It blew a mist and then self-destructed.”

At that, Sohee smiled so that only I could notice.

“By the way, what about my Dalian test scores?”

“Don’t worry about that. Before you became Mine, you showed a great performance against Lee Seong-jin. I’m sure he won’t be badly received.”

“That’s nice.”

When the homeroom teacher saw that I was okay, he let out a big sigh as if he was more nervous than me.

“Anyway, I knew that our class president was a grown-up, but I didn’t know that he would be so calm even if he went through something like this. Rather, I feel like I’m the only one who reacts too much.”

I don’t really have that kind of personality. The teacher said she had to discuss what had just happened with her principal, and she went into the principal’s office.

Sohee, left alone, looks at me and avoids my gaze.

“As expected, the class president. Dealing with mines at once.”

“There is a saying that combat should be handled quickly.”

“hahahaha. Exactly as you say.”

At that time, he hesitated as if he had something to say before opening his mouth.

“That. Your swordsmanship was really helpful. I’m sorry that you always seem to be helping me…”

“It’s okay because I got some food.”

“Really? Then, if you don’t mind, hey… Couldn’t you go to the training ground and teach me swordsmanship today? That would be difficult, right? I’m tired from dealing with mines…”

“Let’s go. We still have something to test.”

***

Meanwhile, somewhere in the basement of Delaon Academy.

Mine students who gained the power of demons gathered and secretly held a meeting.

“Lee Seong-jin. That idiot. No, that’s why I told you not to give it to someone like 190th.”

“Hey. Look at the article.”

-The Delaon Academy mine incident occurred.

– Mine? What is this fuss about?

-What are the countermeasures against Mine and Beast Associations that have begun to move again?

“I think you’re going to talk about Mine all day long.”

“Of course! You openly used the power of the beast in the sparring test that came to see you from all kinds of guilds.”

“But it’s fortunate that he died after turning to ashes. It means that his tail is no longer trampled on.”

A student who seemed to be the leader looked at the article with a smile.

“It went well. Oh, how did the second place in the whole school go?”

“They said they wouldn’t. What kind of wind suddenly blew?”

“Sorry.”

Around that time, one of the students asked the leader with a frightened expression.

“Would it be better than that? Kim Yi-do, too. Something’s strange.”

“What?”

“Like Seongjin Lee’s calm expression when he became a demon. When the fog disappeared, he was making an expression as if he had defeated Seongjin Lee.”

“Face? Fuhahahaha! What a contemplative. Are you a wizard? You crazy bastard.”

The leader replied as if he was completely dumbfounded. Even so, he did not stop and added these words.

“The sword he’s holding is pitch-black, just like the curse of Nemesis.”

A sword imbued with the power of Nemesis, Queen of Predation.

I heard from the superiors, it is an object that is no different from a natural enemy to a demon. However, it is useless worry. Why would 222nd place carry something like that in the first place? The head of the Witchbeast Association designated it as a treasure and enshrined it.

“Asshole. If you curse Nemesis just because you’re all black, there will be 20 of them in my house alone.”

“…”

“If you have time to talk nonsense like that, think about how to fix what happened.”

I heard the voice of a female student smiling brightly behind the timid male student.

“Why don’t we leave it as it is? It wasn’t a plan, but we unintentionally revealed the power of demons to the world. There must be some students who are interested in that power. We approach them and gradually increase our power.”

The leader nodded, thinking it was a good idea.

“Is that nice? Then let’s do it.”

“If at least one thing Kim Yi-do is holding is the curse of Nemesis…”

“Hey… You bastard still sucks.”

That’s never going to happen, not even once in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000. The leader replied with a smile as it was something that did not even need to be assumed.

“If that’s the curse of Nemesis, everything will be f*cked up. But, that’s not going to happen, you idiot.”
