Dragon-Devouring Mage - Chapter 11

Episode 11

EPISODE.06

At the unexpected appearance of a reward, Russell stared at the translucent green window.

Did it look like he was hesitating because he was not confident?

“What are you waiting for?”

Hopefully it’s not something I don’t have.

Isadora was sarcastic with a hint of subtle mockery.

“no.”

Only then did Russell, who came to his senses, answer Isadora and stepped forward from the pulpit.

As I stepped out, I checked the rune written on the blackboard.

‘Is it three-saj?’

Runes were ancient letters that were treated as important in magism.

Among them, ‘Thrisaz’.

‘A symbol of ice and cold, and at the same time an unpredictable treasure. Or it’s also a rune that symbolizes bad things.’

Even though it was a simple rune written on the blackboard, it was written in chalk with magic power.

If you make a mistake in handling it, you’ll get frostbite on your fingers from the cold air that leaked out.

Some students who confirmed Rune’s identity belatedly sent an interesting look.

Until I was in the third grade, I never showed anything particularly special about practical skills.

However, in the 4th grade, an inferior student who suddenly starts to show a different side of himself.

Will the inferior student be able to safely pass the professors’ exam this time? It was such a questioning look.

If it fails…

‘It will be disgraceful.’

No, beyond being disgraced, you will also suffer direct injuries such as finger frostbite.

‘If that happens, I might not be able to properly participate in the hands-on class.’

Russell lightly clicked his tongue in a situation where his deliberate intentions were clearly visible.

‘I knew Professor Isadora didn’t like me very much, but I never thought he’d go this far.’

Of course, that didn’t mean I was going to let it go.

Because he was no longer the Russell of the past.

‘If you want to try it, I’ll let you pass.’

Russell, who had settled his heart, raised his mana. In the past, it would have been difficult to control Threesaj’s magic, but it was different now.

Woo woo woo-.

The circle of the heart begins to rotate with the firing of the bees flying up.

Soon after, the two circles react to each other and create a greater resonance.

“…no way?”

Feeling the resonance at the closest distance, Isadora’s eyes trembled.

‘How could this inferior student have created the 2nd Circle in the meantime!?’

Even before vacation, he was an inferior student who had barely enough magic power to exceed the 1st circle.

There is no way that such an inferior student could have reached the 2nd circle during the winter vacation, which lasted only about two months.

I tried denying reality dozens of times in my head, but nothing changed.

As a wizard, Isadora’s senses were clearly speaking.

This inferior student in front of me reached the 2nd circle in that time.

Of course, there was some distance, so the students didn’t seem to feel it.

square square tak.

In the meantime, Russell, who had scribbled some new runes on the back and front of the threesaj runes, put down the chalk.

Not only did he not get frostbite on his fingers, but the anomaly of Thrisad was also perfectly controlled.

“This is not…”

Even then, Isadora was denying the reality that was happening in front of her eyes.

“How is it. professor.”

However, at the sound of Russell’s voice, she nodded while putting on a sick expression.

“…that’s the correct answer. Mr. Russell.”

[You have completed the mission. The reward is given.]

[The subspace is opened.]

[Rewards from now on will be stored inside the subspace automatically.]

[The magic stone is stored in the subspace…]

A notification that sounds along with her answer Leaving behind them, Russell continued his speech with a meaningful expression on his face.

“thank god.”

“Are you happy?”

“yes. At least I might have made a mistake. If the problem had been a little more difficult, I might not have been able to solve it.”

At those words, Isadora seemed to come to her senses.

“That’s right. Maybe the problem was too easy. I guess it wasn’t even a proper test. If so…”

As if possessed by something, he wrote a new rune formula on the blackboard.

A long structure with partially erased formulas.

It was definitely a bit more difficult than before.

“Can you try solving this formula this time?”

[Mission]

As if he had waited, the green window rose once more and Russell grinned.

‘I did it just in case, but this happened.’

The reward this time is simply one of the lowest-grade magic stones. But the important point was the fact that the missions occurred consecutively.

‘Though I deliberately induced it to be successful.’

When things went as expected, I felt like I was about to burst into laughter.

But I couldn’t help but laugh.

Instead of bursting out laughing, he held back and slowly filled in the formula with a worried expression.

[You have completed the mission. Reward….]

After that, in a similar way, Russell provoked Isadora several times, and the missions followed one after another.

“This time, this time!”

[Mission]

[Complete the mission…]

“This time!”

[Mission]

[Mission…]

Isadora gave up after two more problems.

Including the first one, a total of seven missions were completed.

“You may go in now.”

Somehow, unable to hide her tired expression, she said, and Russell bowed his head.

“thank you.”

At first glance, the students appear to be polite to the professor’s guidance.

But there was something else that Russell was grateful to her for.

‘They say the teacher’s grace is like the sky.’

I never thought the day would come when Isadora, who was entangled in bad luck in her previous life, would look like a generous tree like this.

Russell returned to his place, unable to hide the laughter that leaked out.

now.

‘I should check the accumulated rewards.’

* * *

Returning to his seat, Russell was the first to open the subspace.

Opening up the sub-space itself wasn’t that difficult.

It’s scary to think of ‘opening up’ or ‘I want to open up the sub-space’ in my head. The space split from the tip of the index finger of the left hand.

What eventually appeared was the entrance leading to the back of the subspace.

‘The capacity… I said about 40kg, right?’

Russell mentally calculated the value of subspace pouches of similar capacity.

‘Although it’s not the shape of a pocket.’

I couldn’t think of anything else to compare with.

‘How much did a bag with a capacity of 10kg cost?’

Despite being enchanted, the subspace pouch was a fairly popular item.

Therefore, it is far from saying that the price of subspace pockets is astronomical.

However, that does not mean that its value is low.

‘Rather, it belongs to a fairly expensive luxury item.’

Popular means that you can get it if you have money.

‘okay. As long as you have enough money.’

Russell looked satisfied with the price, which was by no means cheap.

‘It was a windfall.’

I could not have imagined that not only the magic stone and understanding of each attribute, but also the subspace itself would be rewarded.

Maybe in the future, unexpected rewards like this will come out from time to time.

‘furthermore-.’

There was another reward obtained this time. When I put my hand inside the subspace and rummaged lightly, several magic stones came out in a row.

A total of seven magic stones.

Compared to the magic stones I usually receive as rewards, there are two of them that are medium in size and slightly smaller.

And there were five very small ones.

‘Are the two big ones the first reward and the other five subsequent ones?’

The reason for the small size seemed to be because they solved similar missions at once.

‘Or was it because I used a shortcut.’

Either way, it’s a pity, but it couldn’t be helped.

‘Because I got this much magic stone in only about 10 minutes.’

If I was more greedy here, it would be too greedy.

Dang dang dang-.

Soon after, Russell rose from his seat as he heard the bell ringing for the end of class.

Out of class early in the morning.

I remembered today’s timetable that I checked before leaving the dorm.

‘Professor Isadora’s class is over, so next is lunchtime.’

After that…

I pretended to take a few steps to move in the hallway like that.

“Russell Raymond.”

A shadow approaching from the other side blocked Russell’s steps.

At the sudden appearance, Russell spat out his words before he had time to frown.

“I was looking for it.”

Freckled skin and faded light brown hair. From an irritated gaze to a face resembling someone.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out the guy’s identity.

Unlike my younger brother, who is an idiot, he is the second son of Baron Frederick, who is diligent in his academy life and is expected to inherit the upper ranks.

Coma Frederick’s twin brother.

“Anton Frederick.”

Could it be that he came to avenge his brother?

When I asked that, Anton Frederick gave me a look that wasn’t even funny.

“Am I here to avenge that worm?”

He said with only one corner of his mouth curled up.

“How do you know what happens to that guy? I’m only here to restore my family’s honor.”

“I don’t know why you came looking for me.”

When I responded as if to stop talking nonsense, he glared at Russell with glowing eyes.

“Because of you, the honor of our baron Frederick fell to the ground.”

As the preceding remarks indicate, Anton did not like his twin brother, Coma Frederick, very much.

It has to be.

It was because he was such an idiot younger brother who spent money and made contributions to admission, but instead of studying hard, he always thought of fun and spent money on tuition.

Far from liking it, I even despised it.

However, after returning to school after vacation, the news of the idiot younger brother is spreading throughout the school.

‘It was news that he was being beaten properly by a certain guy and kept an eye on it.’

When I first heard the news, I thought the rumors were wrong.

He must be the same, and the opponent of the rumor was Russell Raymond.

‘An inferior student among inferior students.’

No matter how stupid he was, he probably wouldn’t have been beaten by such an inferior student.

but.

‘The rumors were true.’

There were quite a number of people who witnessed the relationship between Russell and Coma, who had changed during vacation, to ignore it as a rumor.

‘A fool.’

Although he was not a younger brother that he liked very much, he couldn’t stand the fact that he had Frederick’s last name and looked at him as an inferior student.

It was for this very reason that Anton stepped forward.

‘Of course, that doesn’t mean I can’t use my hands recklessly in a place with a lot of eyes like this.’

Whether or not he used magic, there were a lot of problems with being caught by the professors.

“Today I came to warn you before that. If you don’t want to be scolded properly, I’m telling you to keep your head down.”

If you’re a descendant of a fallen family, you’ll have to live up to the theme. On the subject of a man without a father.

The moment Anton turned around, thinking that this would have been enough warning.

“Do you have a knack for making bullshit wordy?”

A cold voice ran down the back of his neck.
