I Became the Laughing Bell Character of the Academy

Breathtaking atmosphere.

Until now, I wondered if he was giving off a gloomy atmosphere because he was terminally ill, but it seems that he was just a person himself.

“Is there something wrong with me? Oz… … What do you think?”

“That, well… … ? Couldn’t the professor who made that choice be bad?”

how do i rectify this?

The best way I know is to blame others.

Blaming others reduces the burden and stabilizes the mind and body.

Yeah, the reason I’m the way I am is because of the f*cking crew.

“… … But it was your friends who made the choice, right?”

“If you think about it like that, you couldn’t refuse [Myungwang’s] plan and had no choice but to agree, right?”

“yes… … . It was all my fault.”

“… … No, that’s not what it was, it couldn’t be helped. It was a situation where I had no choice but to make that choice.”

“Is that so? Is the professor bad? … ?”

“Yes, the professor who created that situation is bad.”

Marie pondered with a puzzled look on her face and sat down.

“Um… … . I don’t think so though. He was kind.”

“Then it must have been just a coincidence.”

“yes.”

Silence continued for a while.

I had no advice to give to Marie, and Marie didn’t seem to want any more answers.

Surprisingly, I felt comfortable.

When I was with Eleanor, I couldn’t take my eyes off her, not knowing what else she might do.

When I was with Arrieta, I had to concentrate as much as I could because I didn’t know when the [Erosion Blade] would run amok.

On the other hand, it was comfortable because Mari had a vague feeling as if she was there or not.

Simply put, there was little presence.

“So Oz… … .”

As I was thinking about that, Marie started talking to me again.

“What are you worried about?”

“… … .”

“Uh… … Wasn’t that a question I shouldn’t have asked?”

“no it’s okay.”

But there was so little I could tell you.

Not only can I not tell you the true identity of the ‘existence outside’, but even if I did, they wouldn’t easily believe it.

Even so, if you don’t say anything, Mari, who already has a gloomy expression, will become even more gloomy.

“For example… … .”

So, it would be okay if I avoided direct comments as much as possible and asked other questions.

“Let’s say you are holding a dog.”

“Bichon?”

Mari’s eyes twinkled for a moment, making her confused whether it was the child who had been making a gloomy expression just before.

Yes, you have clear preferences.

“… … Bichon is cute. I like it too.”

I want to touch something round and fluffy.

“But first, let’s imagine that you have a hunting dog like a retriever, not a bichon.”

“The retriever is cute too.”

“… … Wouldn’t you like to think of me as a friend with a bit of a bad impression?”

can’t concentrate?

“Yes!”

Are you even imagining yourself holding the leash? Marie soon began to make a nervous expression.

“The dog is trying to escape.”

“uh… … . why? What did I do wrong?”

It’s hard to say when you put on a shocked expression there.

“Originally a bad dog… … Damn it! Let’s just be wolves. You caught the bad wolf.”

“Yes!”

“But the wolf is trying to get out of your hands. The leash you are holding on to cannot be broken even if the wolf tries hard, and even you holding on to it is not easy.”

“yes! Wolf is nothing. I can win.”

“Yes, but the wolf escaped while you tied it up and left it for a while. How the hell did he escape?”

“… … ?”

“Was the question difficult?”

“No, rather, I don’t understand why you ask such a simple thing… … .”

Marie tilted her head and said cautiously, as if she was still not confident.

“Wasn’t someone else who hated me freeing me?”

It felt like a big blow to the head. Even if the extremely pessimistic assumption is second, that is correct.

Normally, that question should have been asked first.

“Uh… … no? uh, sorry… … . Because I don’t know… … .”

“… … No, you are right.”

Tia’s magic barrier that is completely impenetrable.

I was convinced that it would be impossible to penetrate at the level of ‘outside existence’ that appeared at the beginning of the main story, but I did not doubt it.

Even in ＜Broken Sky＞, I didn’t think there would be a helper because only fingerprints came out that Tia escaped by deceiving her eyes.

“I guess there was too much blood in my head.”

I did something stupid, even though I was sure only half a day ago that there would be gaps between the stories based on point of view.

“Uh… … Is that okay?”

“I’m fine thanks to you.”

“… … yes! I’m glad you found it helpful!”

If so, who is the facilitator?

I already know of an entity that can pierce Tia’s magic barrier.

“Marie, do you think the professor is a bad guy?”

“uh… … ?”

An elder-level magician and a professor in charge of advanced magic studies.

Prudence Roa.

There was a reason why there was no weight except for the beginning of the game play.

After committing this, he must have been torn apart by Tia in an unknown place.

Since he’s already been scoured, it’s no wonder that he hasn’t been seen in the game.

“It’s a joke. Could you help me a bit more than that?”

“yes.”

“Is it okay if I make a decision without hearing the exact details? Could you regret it later?”

“Because I owe you so much.”

Marie said with a faint smile. Is it because you came from ＜Underworld＞?

A smile under the night sky suits her very well.

I wish I could smile like that normally.

“Yeah, nice… … . But, let me ask you one more question. How strong are you now?”

I don’t think she’s weak. However, Prudence Roa must also be quite strong.

So, you need to check the exact power before you can make a plan.

“me?”

Marie tilted her head at my question and stood up.

Then he said with a confident expression, not a gloomy expression or a faint smile.

“I’m probably the strongest among the students right now.”

As she said that, the upper body of a huge skeleton floated behind her back.

The skeleton’s ribs were wrapped around her as if to protect her, and she even held a sword and shield in both hands.

Even though it was in a weakened state, it was an opponent that the five of us worked together to defeat.

“I’m fine… … .”

[Myungwang]’s incarnation was completely passed into Mari’s hands.

* * *

The afternoon after Mari’s cooperation was confirmed.

I was staring at the mirror wearing my exclusive [Starry Sky Robe] that I hadn’t taken out in a while.

“Hmm… … .”

The clothes are fine, but the hanger is definitely good, so it looks good no matter what you wear.

In the first place, in the main story before, I couldn’t use it because it was entangled with penalties as well as school rules, but it’s different now.

It was neither a class nor a test, so no one would say anything if I wore this robe.

Moreover, since I don’t know anything about the opponent, it would be better to prepare well even if it’s a bit excessive.

How do you know if he’s a madman attacking you out of nowhere?

“this… … How did you do it?”

While wearing the robe, I looked around. Walking around the campus, wearing this robe caught my eye.

Originally, I tend to stand out, but if I walk around wearing even a combat robe, people might get scared and run away.

“Is this? no… … . Mmm.”

According to my memory, it could be changed into a simple accessory form.

When it was time to start fighting, the robes would pop out as if they were transforming, so no doubt.

“Ah, okay… … .”

As a result of wrestling with the robe for a long time, I was able to change the robe into a tiepin shape.

It is in the shape of a constellation, perhaps because it wants to assert its identity.

“… … After all, this is also Oz, so it must be suitable.”

It’s an unfair world.

Not that I hate it, of course.

“Then let’s prepare for an unpleasant battle of nerves.”

For the time being, we have to contact Prudence Loa and see what kind of person he is.

As long as the opponent is an elder-level magician, he cannot be vigilant.

First of all, the reason why Prudence Roa is trying to release the ‘existence outside’ can be guessed to some extent.

It seems that ＜Spellage＞ was originally a country like a lawless zone to the extent that fights broke out on the streets.

It is no different that ＜Spellage＞ has become whole.

[King of Darkness]

Salem Sudra.

because he was

An individual’s power overwhelming enough to bind lawlessness to law.

That is why Salem Sudra is called the greatest wizard in history.

＜Spellage＞ is said to have changed rapidly. Of course, there were also many who could not adapt to the change.

– I think life is a series of constant struggles.

“Maybe he’s just a madman… … .”

So, there may be those who are clinging to the old ways.

-Sooner or later, the heir will understand what I mean.

“Or maybe he’s a complicated madman with a vision of his own.”

Or maybe you thought the process was absolutely necessary.

Right now I have similar thoughts.

If you think about the future, it would be good to familiarize yourself with the bizarre monsters called ‘outside beings’ in advance.

You could be in big trouble if you were taken aback by the sudden appearance.

However, the problem is that it is a fairly radical way to release it.

It’s not about getting used to it, it’s about forcing survival of the fittest where the weak can’t survive.

“If you check it, you will know.”

Finally, after managing the expression, head to Professor Aira.

I wanted to head to Tia’s laboratory, where the ‘existence outside’ and Prudence Loa are located, but I can’t help it.

For now, I participated under the pretext of being Professor Aira’s assistant.

“Whoa… … .”

Professor Aira’s laboratory, which arrived in that way, had a gloomy aura like the last time.

If Marie’s gloomy level is 1, Professor Aira’s laboratory has about 3 gloomy levels.

“really… … .”

I don’t like to go in.

But it can’t be, so I can’t help it.

“Well?”

But when I knocked, all I got back was silence. There seems to be a presence inside, but there is no response.

Seeing that he wasn’t reacting like he did last time, it could be that he simply didn’t notice.

It’s okay to go back like this, and it’s as if I’ve been given permission for the last time, so I just push through.

“ah.”

A messy lab again.

Crossing the laboratory, I headed towards the place where Professor Aira was, and saw her asleep in the middle of the paperwork.

He fell asleep so deeply that even when I tried to pretend to be there, he didn’t respond.

“I must have been tired.”

As you can see, he passed out in the middle of the study. Come to think of it, I feel like I used her too comfortably.

Didn’t they force them to participate in Tia’s experiment right away in the name of proof of trust?

In addition to what she originally was researching, I ended up doing Tia’s research as well.

Moreover, since I had to teach students, even ten bodies would not have been enough.

“I have to do something.”

If you don’t, you’ll feel guilty.

Return the [Starry Sky Robe], which was transformed into a tie pin, to its original state and cover it with Professor Aira.

I was wearing a school uniform anyway, so I think the timing was right because I had it.

A situation that can make you feel like a caring man like this.

I wanted to try it once.

“where… … .”

I check the documents in the direction Professor Aira’s arm is facing.

It seems that it was in the middle of writing, so this is probably the latest achievement.

“Well… … .”

The subject of research is to weave the same basic and intermediate magic as last time.

However, Professor Aira’s research was fundamentally different from the [Wizard’s Gear] I used.

“Is it serial rather than parallel?”

If [Wizard’s Gear] focused on pouring out magic in a short time, Professor Aira chose to increase its power.

It is not a method of expanding the compositional formulas widely and linking each other, but a form of overlapping numerous compositional formulas.

Among them, there were techniques that could not be deployed alone.

To cut it short… … .

“It is inefficient.”

When it is completed, it will surely become a usable magic.

However, it would take too much time if you had to create and combine unfinished spells separately, unlike the weaving of existing constitutive spells.

“Why did you choose this way?”

To put it simply, every time you create a new spell, you have to make a new part.

If you don’t make this kind of thing with the collective intelligence of many people, you can only make 3 or 4 magics over your lifetime.

And no wizard is willing to jump into such magic.

It’s hard to think that someone like Professor Aira doesn’t know that.

“yes?”

In the middle of going through the documents, I found something strange.

“Already finished… … ?”

A magic had already been completed on that document.

A new system of magic in which basic, elementary, and intermediate level magic and other compositional formulas designed only for combination are intertwined.

Combination magic (tentative title)

[Pinaka]

Since it is a new magic system, (tentative title) is attached, but if you look at the power of magic, I think it will probably be the most powerful magic among advanced magic.

“Although the method of use is inefficient and complicated… … .”

It could be said that this magic has already been completed.

Maybe the current country can use it too.

“But why hasn’t the research been finished yet…?” … ?”

The problem was that.

Even with the completion of this magic, Professor Aira’s research did not end.

I don’t know what kind of research they’re doing, but even this magic is an intermediate stage.

Even though this alone could be called an achievement, I was looking at a higher place.

“What else is this person thinking?”

In a instinct. Yes, it’s just a feeling based on instinct, but… … .

“… … I don’t think I should continue with this research.”

The magic Professor Aira was researching felt dangerous.
