Infinite Mage - Chapter 26

[26] What money can’t buy (1)

Black Magician.

A study group formed by six troubled children, led by Jake.

Excluding Jake, it was a group of students who had neither dreams nor future who failed in promotion every time.

There was a time when they, too, were once spotlighted as brilliant talents. If you had the courage to try again, you could have won someday.

But they gave up the competition themselves. In a way, they were the only losers in the cold competition.

“I can’t do this. Something is wrong.”

Jake shook his head. Even if it was Amy, it was impossible for the Black Magician to lose to a freshman who had just entered the school.

“okay. not lost It was just unlucky.”

So far, the students Jake had dropped out had high grades that couldn’t be compared to Sirone’s. In the end, it was just bad luck. When you live in the world, don’t you often have days like that?

‘It’s not over yet. I am class four It’s fundamentally different from those who stab people in the back with anti-magic.’

Sirone read Jake’s life story and was nervous. I could feel Jake’s Spirit Zone, which had turned into a star, through synesthesia. It felt as if hundreds of archers were aiming their bows.

‘What do we do? I haven’t learned magic yet.’

Anti-magic was able to respond because it was a battle of strength in the spirit zone, but when it came to magic battle, the story was different.

There was no way that Sirone could deal with Jake, who had not learned not only offensive magic, but also air shield, the basics of defensive magic.

Jake fanned it between his palms and squeezed them into compression. Then the air began to rotate in the shape of a disc. It was a wind cutter that cut logs lightly.

“Don’t take it by the arm. Next is the bridge.”

Just as Jake was about to cast the windcutter, someone grabbed his shoulder from behind and turned him over. It touched my body at the same time as I sensed the approach with synesthesia. It wasn’t human speed.

I saw Amy’s face with her red eyes raised. As her fist struck her chin, the scenery in front of her shook.

“Aww!”

The magician, whose physical attack was poisonous, received an attack containing the power of the schema, so the spirit zone had no ability to withstand it.

Amy climbed onto Jake’s belly and punched him. The power of one shot was like hitting it with a stone.

“What are you going to do with me? Say it again, son of a bitch! Say it again!”

Jake’s face swayed from side to side as if it were going to be pulled out. Thinking that something terrible would happen if left as it is, Sirone ran to Amy.

“Senior, stop! I will die like this!”

“Let go, child! You must have laughed at me!”

“Because I die!”

Jake listened to the conversation in his fading consciousness. I didn’t feel any pain, only a dull shock.

‘You die? Am I dying?’

The fear of death awakened Jake’s mind. He covered his face with his arms and screamed at the top of his voice.

“Save me! Just save my life! please!”

Amy burst into tears. At least it was a situation where it would become a one-child. Thinking that I had been humiliated by such a scumbag until now made my blood run backwards.

“I will never forgive you! You bastard!”

“Senior, please stop!”

Sirone pulled Amy with all her might. Schema’s body balance was so great that it felt like pulling a stake out of the ground. It was only when she pulled with all her might that Amy fell backwards and crushed Sirone.

“That’s enough, sir. Please stop it.”

Sirone let out a heavy breath. When I came to my senses, I felt a soft, soft feeling on my arm. Realizing that he was pressing on Amy’s chest, he hurriedly removed his hand.

“Sorry!”

Amy didn’t respond. He was only trembling intermittently as he exhaled heavily. As her emotions were transmitted through her body, Sirone felt sorry for her as well. He quietly hugged her waist and spoke softly.

“Senior, because of me…”

“Ah! It’s cool!”

“Aww!”

As Amy jumped up, she hit Sirone’s lower stomach with her butt.

Sirone lay back on his back, clutching his stomach. A little further down would have led to a terrible situation.

“what’s the matter? Where is it not good?”

I avoided the vital point, but cold sweat broke out on my forehead as the shock poured downward. But I couldn’t express myself.

“Nothing.”

“Hi-Hi! Of course it should. How light I am.”

There is no way that she, who has been inquisitive since childhood, is unaware of Sirone’s condition. It was a sign of intimacy in her own way, who was not good at expressing emotions. In addition, it was the atmosphere that overlooked the awkward contact that Sirone had unintentionally succeeded in.

“Anyway, what now?”

Sirone changed the topic and turned her attention to the Black Magician. I didn’t know when they were fighting like crazy, but when I looked at them, their condition was serious.

All were passed out with nosebleeds, and Jake crawled on the ground in a half-delusional state.

Amy, who looked at their appearance, decided to cover it up at this point. I want to expel her from school, but if the incident gets bigger, Sirone’s identity could be revealed.

“Let’s go down. Those children are also stabbed, so I will keep quiet from now on.”

“But Seriel-senpai will come this way, right?”

“what? Are you sure you talked to the teacher?”

“of course. Senior is in danger, how can I come alone?”

Amy sighed and rubbed her forehead. I was humiliated. But when I heard that the report was already over, steam leaked.

Sirone was deeply moved. The reason Amy was disappointed was to keep her secret.

“Thank you, senior.”

“huh?”

“You came alone because of me. But never mind. Secrets don’t matter anymore. I’m glad you’re safe.”

“No, I’m not like that…”

Amy scratched her cheek and averted her gaze. In the atmosphere of the Karmis family, which symbolizes freewheeling, there was a time when I felt neglected. I missed people’s affection, so I wandered around the back alleys. To her, Sirone’s kind words were pleasant, but of a nature that she could not fully digest.

“joy! who is because of you It’s because these guys are enough alone. In fact, I’ve always been anxious about it. What’s got it right?”

Amy’s cheeks were completely red. Sirone was satisfied with that. I thought I knew who she was.

“I can’t look at you because you’re so childish. Are people like you geniuses? you’re welcome. You guys are just ignorant kids.”

Jake stood up, putting his hand on the tree. His face was full of wounds, but his eyes were full of venom.

Amy said, putting her hand on her waist.

“You are really nasty. If you can’t stand up, you’ll just stretch out. It’s not a pervert, is it that you like it that suits me?”

“Puhahahaha!”

There was no thought of defeat in Jake’s mind. After all, money rules the world. They may have lost the battle, but they still had strong financial power.

“You think it’s over? no, this is the start Be honest. You really can’t even kill me? Kill me if you’re confident As long as I’m in school, you guys will never graduate. I will destroy you by any means!”

Sirone was creepy. But Amy, who had been in the backstreets since she was little, knew people like Jake all too well.

“kill you? why am i killing you My life is too rich to waste on a bastard like you. But know this. You can’t kill them, but you can beat them.”

Jake flinched as Amy approached with a clenched fist. No matter how hard you eat your mind, your body remembers fear.

“…Do you think I’ll be scared?”

“Who said what? Wake up, you should be right again I’m still not out of my mind.”

Jake’s face was contorted with fear as he saw Amy’s shrugged turn.

Hey hey hey hey!

A sharp creaking sound came from the sky. Sirone looked up but knew the other two without looking.

It was a noise unique to space movement, a high-ranking magic of teleportation.

The moment she thought that the starlight was twinkling in the sky, the flash of light quickly bent and came down to the place where Sirone and the others were.

Seriel landed with two teachers.

Amy checked the face of the teacher with the feeling of scratching a lottery ticket. And he let out a small sigh.

It was Shiina of ice magic and THAAD of fire magic.

‘Ugh, if only.’

Along with Etella, they, who were the youngest teachers in the magic school, couldn’t take this incident lightly.

“Amy! are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Seriel came running to Amy with a teary face.

“yes I’m fine. There’s no way I’ll be easily defeated.”

Seriel, like her delicate personality, didn’t miss a small change. Amy’s bangs, which flowed down as if slightly covering her right eye, were scorched.

I had always thought that Amy’s hairstyle was too retro compared to Amy’s pretty appearance, but my heart ached when my friend’s hair that she had been sticking to for six years was ruined.

“Why is your hair like that? What happened?”

“Oh my! because it’s nothing By the way, is it already past 7?”

“What do you mean? Do you know how much we searched for? If it wasn’t for the teachers, we couldn’t have arrived in time.”

The sun was setting and darkness was falling.

As the son-in-law got dark, Sade cast fire magic. A ball of fire shot up and scorched the air like a small sun.

‘This is fire sun magic.’

Sirone admired the glowing orb in the sky. Even though the surroundings were bright like broad daylight, I couldn’t feel the heat.

It was an impossible phenomenon without converting thermal energy into light energy. According to what I read in the book, Firesun is a high technology unlike its appearance and can be seen mainly on the battlefield.

Saad approached Amy with a tearful face.

“What is this, Amy! How could a brilliant kid like you do such a foolish thing…”

Sade, who is weak only to women, didn’t seem to care about Sirone. Especially for Amy, her grades were number one, her family was first class, and even her appearance was number one, so I couldn’t help but cherish her.

Disgusted by Sade’s attitude, Shiina turned to Sirone.

“Sirone, can you explain what’s going on?”

“Uh, that’s…”

“I’ll tell you that.”

At Jake’s words, the teachers turned their heads. The perpetrator of the incident would explain. He wondered if he had gone insane from being beaten so badly.

However, this was also Jake’s calculation.

It’s okay if you get punished. The school, which needs the financial power of the Ardius family, will never give up on itself anyway.

On the other hand, what about sirone? I heard clearly what the secret was about in the conversation a while ago. Moreover, Amy’s actions that she tried to cover up. In the end, it was said that there was something to worry about.

“I called Amy. Because of her superior skill, I had no choice but to use anti-magic. But it was a fair fight. Emotions have deepened since before, and it eventually turned into a battle of pride. As you can see, we were seriously injured.”

Shiina said with a displeased expression.

“Are you asking me to believe that now? You guys broke the school rules.”

“I am not saying it was good. But think about it. If Amy was the victim, why didn’t she report it? They were also stabbed, so I tried to cover up the incident.”

cried Amy.

“What nonsense! What are we hiding? You threatened to kidnap Sirone!”

“haha! So did we kidnap? it’s not Moreover, Sirone read the note we sent and didn’t tell the teacher. What does this mean?”

“You you you bastard…”

Amy couldn’t retort. The fact that Sirone, who had not been kidnapped, came running without reporting to the teacher was unacceptable to those who did not know what was going on inside. When you tell the truth, Sirone’s secret will be revealed.
