Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 86
Episode 86. The youngest Warlock and
I, who finished my tutoring contract, stopped by my house after a long time to see Amy’s face and came out.
‘It’s a good thing to do something with passion.’
If there was anything Amy wanted to do, I thought I would support her in whatever it was.
Today is Monday, the day the academy finally returns to normal operation.
The black magic potion case was announced as if it had been resolved on the surface, but as the person responsible for killing Kyler, it was fortunate that nothing happened.
‘By the way, the potion making class has disappeared, so it’s become an empty class.’
Of course, all the potion-related lectures that Kyler was in charge of had become public lectures. The academy announced that they would hire a new professor as soon as possible, but it seemed like it would take a while since the world’s Rodlen Academy wouldn’t take anyone with a low-level wizard.
Thanks to that, Monday was completely empty, so I was in my private lab from the morning.
What I’m doing right now is, of course, research on a cure for Lucia.
‘It’s still impossible to find a cure that can completely cure it, but I can make a medicine that slows down the condition.’
Lucia doesn’t express it, but it’s probably quite painful.
The disease Lucia suffered from was a disease similar to modern cancer.
The difference is that it is a congenital disease related to mana, which is not present in modern times. Thanks to this, it can be seen that Lucia has a talent for magic.
‘Instead of gaining talent, it’s a fate that has no choice but to live a short life.’
But nothing to worry about.
With dozens of Lucia play experiences, I have finally been cured.
With that experience, I have created not only the perfect cure, but also a drug that slows down the disease. In the case of this medicine, I was able to make it with my current skills, so I decided to make it in order to increase the experience of my potion production talent.
“My head hurts.”
The evolution of my black magic talent hadn’t finished yet, so I had a severe headache.
As the days went by, my fever rose and my head hurt, but I had no choice but to go to the lab because the time was too precious to rest.
There were still a few days left until the evolution was over, but the evolution time was quite long, so I was thinking positively. Because it can be seen that the longer the evolution time, the higher the possibility of evolving into something good.
I realized that evening was approaching after I had been shutting myself in the lab all day doing research. Still, I thought I should eat dinner, so I roughly finished my research and came out of the lab, but there was a person standing in front of the door.
“It’s a surprise.”
Looking at the person standing with a slightly straight face, it was a completely unexpected person.
‘Beriall Castro?’
Why is the head of the Faculty of Magic here?
“I’ve been waiting for it to come out, but I never thought it would take this long.”
Belial Castro, a mysterious narrow-eyed character.
Of all the wizards I’ve experienced, I could say that he was a stranger character than Bahat.
‘He’s one of the most hated characters in the academy.’
In the first place, there were few normal people among Auror Masters or Warlock-class people.
Except for a few of them, they had really eccentric personalities, but in the case of Berial, he was an unpleasant character who became anxious when he was with them.
‘A monster that can kill people for no reason without blinking an eye.’
This is not a metaphor, it’s real. Even during gameplay, there were several times when I was next to Berial and was suddenly killed.
I don’t know what the other person is thinking, so I don’t know why I died.
After being beaten a few times, he was just an idiot who wanted to be that kind of character.
‘But again, surprisingly, there are no accidents in the academy.’
When my character dies, it’s all outside the academy.
It was mostly when I was forced to go outside for evaluation.
So you can rest assured now.
“Professor Beriel. What are you doing here?”
“Is it right from the point? You must be very busy.”
no. I just don’t want to talk to you for a long time?
However, he hid his inner feelings and spoke in a good way.
“no. It was strange that the dean of the department came to visit me, so I asked a question first without even realizing it.”
“is it so? Then let’s do that. I don’t like Saddam either, so I’m rather comfortable with that. The reason I came here is no different, I came to make a proposal to student Adrias.”
“proposal… … Are you talking?”
I tried to recall my memory to see if I had ever been involved with Berial.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember anything directly related to him or anything that happened.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. As you know, Adrias, as the dean, I take private lessons unlike other professors. You know what?”
“yes.”
“I want to give that private lesson to student Adrias. What do you think?”
Berial’s tutoring?
However, what was a little strange was that he wanted to teach, not teach.
It didn’t feel like I was giving a lesson when I heard that word.
I wanted to avoid getting involved with him as much as possible, so I pretended to be a little worried and then shook my head.
“I really appreciate the dean’s suggestion, but… … .”
“If you appreciate it undeservedly, you can take my lesson. Then I will know that.”
“yes?”
Are you that crazy guy?
With those words, Berial quickly disappeared.
I was dumbfounded by the attitude of not giving any room for objection.
“Fuck?”
* * *
Burial kept his word.
The next day, at the end of my lecture, I was able to see Burial waiting at the entrance of the lecture hall.
“hey. look over there Are you the head of the faculty?”
“I know. I haven’t seen you recently, where have you been? But why are you doing that over there?”
She quietly tried to avoid Burial, who stood firm despite the attention of the students. But my attempts quickly fell apart.
“Student Adrias?”
Burial walked near me in an instant using his unique magic.
Even though he walked lightly using mana, his movement speed was high enough that he would not yield to the knights.
‘Berial’s magic is an original technique that can hardly be called magic. It’s more convenient to see it as a skill using mana, not magic.’
What made this possible was the magic circle engraved on his body.
According to the setting I know, he was a nerd who carved a magic circle directly into his heart.
‘Well, that master and that disciple.’
If you know who Berial’s teacher is, that ignorant method makes sense.
But such an idiot is giving me private lessons?
I will respectfully submit.
“Student Adrias. Can’t you hear me?”
“Dean. You called.”
When I reacted belatedly, Berial smiled and said,
“Now that the lecture is over, shall we begin the lesson?”
The murmur intensified as Burial brought up the word instruction.
The private lessons of the head of the Faculty of Magic were originally intended for seniors.
It was natural for people to say that such private lessons would be given to me, not even in my senior year.
“wow. Looking at it these days, it’s a bit strange. Hasn’t that guy also been using his private lab lately?”
“Did I bribe you? I heard that Everlast Potion is going well these days. Besides, I heard you patented another potion recently?”
“Is this normal students like us going to the academy because they are sad? Dirty, dirty.”
I’ve been feeling this lately, but as my fame has risen, the number of people who admire me has increased, but the number of people who are envious and jealous has also increased.
In particular, the checks of my classmates who had been closest to me and the seniors who could be seen as my seniors were getting worse day by day.
‘Even though I don’t even care.’
In any case, I decided to put aside this cluttered atmosphere and follow Berial’s words.
The story had already come up to this point, but I couldn’t resist saying no, and above all, I didn’t know what kind of sudden action Burial would take after rejection, so I had no choice but to follow it right away.
“yes. Let’s go.”
The question still remains, why are you trying to teach me?
I don’t know why he would give me private lessons, since I really had no ties to Berial.
‘Is there something I want to study because I have a peculiar constitution?’
While receiving the eyes of countless students, he followed behind Berial.
It seemed that word would spread quickly as people around me already took out the tablet and started complaining about it.
I expressed it badly, but it was an opportunity that was second to none in the eyes of others.
Burial Castro, the genius of the century who holds the title of the youngest Warlock.
If a student who wasn’t even in his senior year had private lessons from such Berial, anyone would have no choice but to say something. No, in fact, it was a great event because it was a private lesson that only outstanding people in the senior class could receive.
Following Berial for a long time, the place he arrived at was none other than the ‘Vortex Forest’.
It was one of the forests within the academy grounds, and the area was the size of a tolerable baronial territory.
‘You’re not trying to kill me here, are you?’
The other person had no idea, but it seemed like I was making a fuss by myself.
But after seeing it a few times, it was an inevitable reaction.
“Student Adrias.”
“yes.”
“There is a pure contradiction of understanding in the origins of magic.”
I nodded at Berial’s words.
“But you know what? In fact, the origins of magic are much more diverse and numerous?”
Are you talking about the magic of the Age of Mythology?
Of course I knew.
It was me who had already played the game and knew some of the hidden history of this world.
However, he did not pretend to know and tilted his head to one side.
“Is that so?”
“Although the exact type has not yet been identified, it is said that more than 10 species have originated. The three origins that exist now have been discovered derived from the first origin, ‘purity’, but the rest of the origins are not even clued up yet.”
I was aware of the contradictions and understandings derived from innocence.
However, I did not know that there are more than 10 types of origins.
And I seemed to have a vague idea of why the other 10 or so origins didn’t come out.
Because innocence, understanding, and contradiction are intertwined with each other, they are related, so there was a reason to derive them, but the things that were not revealed were not related at all.
This association was like rock-paper-scissors.
One day, I found a rock, and when I studied it, it was like finding scissors and paper.
You can’t suddenly find a butterfly or an apple here.
“Purity triumphs over understanding, and understanding triumphs over contradiction.” Finally, contradiction wins over innocence.’
Of course, it’s not absolute, it depends on the warlock’s ability, but it was a story that the basic compatibility was like that.
The Warlock who created the original magic with purity shows a strong appearance against the Warlock of Understanding.
Under the premise that they are at the same level, the above fact is the standard in the magic world.
“Student Adrias. Actually, the reason I want to give Adrias private lessons is because I saw the magic circle he made. His understanding of contradiction is excellent.”
So you decided to teach me
I thought it was a small happening, but I didn’t know that it would continue like this.
“In general, there are many magics that have contradictions as their origins. I’m asking just in case… … .”
Burial, who was talking, looked at me with meaningful narrowed eyes.
“Did Adrias learn black magic?”
