chapter 14
014. Magical Zoo (1)
next day.
Class went smoothly.
In fact, combat classes were all about fighting, such as physical training, interpersonal attack and defense, battle command, weapons science, and magic defense and detection, so it wasn’t too much for me.
I got tired of playing only with Ackerman, the body wave itself, because I knew everything even if I didn’t listen to the class itself.
If it was magic, priest, or practical, the class would have been interesting in its own way. Because I couldn’t get into the game.
In the combat field, if I take the test with only writing, I have the confidence to get first place unconditionally.
Even more so, class B, which is a little lower than class A, is boring to be honest.
My classes with my body have risen to a level where I can catch up thanks to my recent steady exercise.
There was no case where I was not outstanding compared to others because it was enough to overcome it by surrounding the ‘shadow’ if it was lacking.
I raised the stats in the right place and cooked the situation to my heart’s content.
In 1:1 sparring, it’s like looking at the opponent’s level and fighting appropriately, and even if you win, you lose on purpose once in a while.
If there is a person who sometimes quarrels with me, or a person who harbors ill will, I am in the process of giving true education.
‘The descendant of the swordsman is a divine move.’
Saint of Swords.
Those who literally follow the god of light and practice the doctrines of the church, especially those who have reached the pinnacle of the sword.
I inherited the blood of such a person.
Thanks to that, even a little bit of training can have an amazing effect. The sword is my body, and I am free as if my body were the sword.
The swords and spears of class B students pose no threat to me.
Thanks to that, it is buried very well.
A very desirable academy life continues, where you are neither outstandingly good nor bad.
I’m still putting a little more weight on black magic, but sooner or later I’ll have to focus on swordsmanship.
In preparation for the final phase of Act 1… … .
On the other hand, the more I bury myself, the deeper Giliot’s troubles become.
Since I deliberately control my skills so as not to be noticed, questions arise.
‘Talent is definitely A-class, but why is it like that these days? Even then, it sometimes flashes, but I don’t know.’
… … You must be thinking this way. My grades are really ambiguous.
Even though Giliot teaches class A once a day, he sticks to me and tells me various things. Even that seems to be reluctant these days.
Do you think you can see a lack of motivation?
It’s a very good phenomenon for me.
It’s only icing on the cake if you get farther away from Gilliott, and the rest of your classmates openly curse or avoid you as well.
If I don’t react thoroughly, the other cadets will lose interest in me. All kids are like that.
You just have to live like this all the time, as if you were soaked in water, as if you were there or not. until graduation. please… … !
“ruler! So today’s class ends here. Anyone with questions?”
Someone tried to raise their hand, but Gilliot spoke faster. Your reflexes are insane.
“Ask the questions tomorrow. dissolution!”
“Uh… … .”
“ancient!”
Ururu. As if the academy cadets had been waiting, I went to my personal locker.
I wandered around for a while, reviewing today’s lesson in my head.
It is helpful to review things like sword movements and defensive techniques every once in a while.
As befits a ‘descendant of the swordsman’, its efficiency is ridiculous, and if you just trust your talent and play, you don’t know when and what kind of opponent you’ll meet.
As I was wandering around alone and reviewing, Cain came into my field of vision.
She sweated hard today and received the attention of male classmates.
There was even a fan club now, and it was common for other classes and even seniors in the upper grades to snoop around to see Cain’s face.
But those guys wouldn’t know.
What a beautiful woman Cain is.
Every early morning, I hit a wooden doll as if it had waited for me. Even when he’s quiet, he raises his voice when I enter the gym. As if you want to see and hear me.
Besides, when I went to the gym with Ackerman and the others, I always glared at him once, but these days the pattern has changed.
Do you think I’m looking elsewhere?
While she waits for Ackerman’s group, she sometimes fixes her gaze on me, but if she makes eye contact with me, she turns her head to the ceiling and argues with Hoya for no reason.
A blushing face is a bonus. Are you still mad at me… … Anyway, one consistency is recognition.
I knew that Cain had such an image, but seeing it from the perspective of a thorough extra feels different.

Knowingly or unknowingly, Cain feels idiotic.
‘I feel like I’m going to say something soon… … .’
Anyway, today, I left the gym with Cain’s stinging eyes for the last time.
* * *
It was night. 11:40.
It’s a dark time.
something, something… … It’s also the perfect time for shady and bad things. Hehehe, I feel like my mind is also becoming evil.
Aww-!
A wolf’s howl is heard deep in the forest. It must be a very menacing, big guy.
That wolf is a beast that will fight Ackerman’s party in a little while. To be precise, he’s a werewolf.
This forest is located behind the Magical Fauna, but it is also a place that students are prohibited from approaching because it is dangerous.
Anyway, since the barrier is made up of the ‘Orb’ magic, no monsters or beasts can enter the academy.
‘It’s not dangerous as long as people don’t leave.’
This place is so empty and spacious that it is a very suitable place for me to practice black magic.
I’m in a situation where I wrote an out-of-the-box system unanswerably. Of course, I plan to go back after I have successfully obtained the ‘Eye of the Mind’ and watched Ackerman’s party for a while.
Thanks to that, I had to receive a barrage of useless questions from Victor.
‘What the hell is going on!’
‘Meet someone!’
‘Are you my girlfriend!? Or a friend?’
‘Hey, you’re a human too. I didn’t know who I was going to meet because I was alone in my room. That’s great!’
‘I don’t know how worried this senior was.’
well, stuff like this.
“Whoa. Let’s focus.”
Shim An must succeed even for a peaceful academy life.
A large circular pentagram was drawn on the floor.
A cool breeze blew through her hair.
The temperature is also suitable.
As written in [Necrotula], I prepared all the supplies.
I sprinkled crystal powder on the rag doll and moistened my yawning tears around the doll’s eyes.
‘It’s really just like a person.’
The most difficult to find gyaru cat hair ball was covered like a rag doll’s hair.
“Can I stop this now?”
I wrapped all of this in parchment, as explained in the book of black magic.
Everything is ready. I picked up the parchment and carefully entered the pentagram.
Aww-!
“It’s noisy.”
With wolf howling taking over the background music, I really feel like a badass black magician with a plan.
45 minutes. It’s time.
I took a deep breath to utter a meaningful incantation.
‘I don’t know how loud it should be, but…’ … .’
“mountain! No tech car-!”
Well, I screamed with all my might. No one will be able to hear my voice in a corner like this.
Even if screaming in public like this goes against both of my personalities: [aristocratic] and [gloomy].
cooong!
My voice spread like a wave. The air and ground around it shuddered.
Is it because I screamed? Power entered the eyes. The veins slowly come up. Eyesight improves rapidly. Even in the middle of the night, the view was as clear as daytime.
Light began to emanate from the magic circle.
The purple and black light has a hideous color as if it were openly advertising ‘I am black magic’.
The parchment floats in the air. Cuddle! Distorted as if swallowed by something. Is it a sacrifice for casting black magic? It’s definitely a grotesque like black magic. There is a maniacal sensibility.
I cast the second incantation.
“In suntech car – -!”
The pentagram dyed in light turned into darkness when the second incantation was cast. Black smoke rose ominously and drew a spiral.
And that smoke

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“Ugh!”
It was sucked straight into my eyes.
It wasn’t painful. It just feels strange. I can feel that something is changing in my eyes.
Eyes are disassembled and reassembled. It was as if another layer was being placed over the reassembled snow.
The black smoke that had been shaking like a storm for a long time came into my eyes without leaving a single handful.
“Mmm.”
My vision is blurry. It took about a minute to get back to normal.
I didn’t feel like anything had changed. A little bit better eyesight.
However, there was an obvious change in my status bar. Something has been added to the specials section. It was clearly a phrase indicating that the black magic had succeeded.

Mind’s Eye Lv.1
“Is there a level attached?”
The added level means that there are restrictions at first, and the unlocked abilities increase as you go. This is because the more it grows, the stronger its power and the wider its versatility.
As far as potential, it can be seen that it is superior to general specialties.
In <Warriors Kingdom>, specialties with ‘levels’ were quite valuable.
“Hmm, I want to try it right now.”
There were no suitable targets around. It’s only natural that there’s no one around here.
But, it’s not like I’ve settled in the back of the Magical Zoo for nothing.
I came here to check if Ackerman and the others and Cyana are moving well according to the story.
By now, Ciana should have arrived at the Botanical Center and is looking for Deiane, and Ackerman and the others started looking for her because she didn’t show up long after the appointed time.
I sneakily headed to the Magic Plant Museum. To the very place where this episode takes place!
* * *
see, see
An innocent Cyana who appeared at the Botanical Museum after receiving an anonymous letter. And Deiane, who is aiming for her.
What Deianne is aiming for is the ‘Hiven Fragment’ that Cyana has hidden.
The beginning of Act 1 Boss Resurrection.
‘I don’t know how that kid got a part of Hiven-sama, but I need to get it back quickly!’ He planned to kidnap Shiana.
The reason was that no matter how much magic professors were, they couldn’t pierce the special sealing magic that the genius magical girl cast.
I plan on drugging her to get her to confess, and to knock her out.
All I have to do is monitor the process to see if it is going well.
It erased the presence of shadows around the body.
Power: [20/23]
Power: [15/23]
It’s because if I put a shadow on it like a screen, my body is separated from the real world and I can’t feel my magic power or presence.
Of course, since it consumes a lot of mana, it cannot be used for long. Still, the more you study, the more you can use shadows.
‘Sounds like this… … .’
I guess I’m on my way to becoming a black magician.
‘Oh, it’s Siana.’
Cyana appeared. It looked like he was looking for the owner of the letter while looking around. Judging from her street clothes, she seemed to have turned around on her way to Ackerman’s party.
‘Looking at it again, I didn’t decorate it at all… … .’
I realize how Siana’s feelings were in the beginning. In the beginning, it seems that Ciana was forced to hang out with Ackerman.
I’m lonely, but I don’t like most people… … After being forced into it, it is expected that Ackerman was not that bad and opened his heart.
‘It hurts a bit.’
As a fun game user, this is a bit of a sad truth.
Pick!
At that time, Ciana collapsed.
Colorless and odorless sleeping pills were inevitable, no matter how genius Siana was. In the first place, this was a place she was familiar with every day, and besides, the sleeping pills were spread in the air, so she would collapse before she realized it.
Fortunately, there are no life-threatening consequences.
Perhaps one of the reasons is that Deianne personally values and cares for Siana.
Deianne just needs to retrieve the Hiven’s fragments. There is no need to cause unnecessary accidents now.
In the first place, it would not be easy to deal with the repercussions if she, who is the representative of the freshmen and is treated as an all-time talent, is killed by someone.
Above all else, it is Siana Plaen who is paying attention even in the royal family. If something happened to her identity, the Royal Magic Corps might step in and try to uncover the truth of the incident.
No matter how hard I was, it would be difficult to handle.
‘Come out… … .’
Deiane was hiding among the thick trees.
A long robe with the hem down to the knee. Deianne, who came out with a hood on, cautiously approached Sianna.
It’s a story that I never saw when I played from Ackerman’s point of view. I looked at this back story with interest and decided to experiment with my mind.
[HP: 15/23]
[HP: 14/23]
I used shadows as per my theory. A shadow equal to 1 magic power moved on its own and approached Deianne.
‘Because I just need to make contact.’
A shadow reached Deiane. It connects my ‘mind’s eye’ and the opponent with the material of the dimension system.
status window.
‘… … !’
My theory was correct too.
A status window appeared in my field of vision, which had not changed.
Not mine, but the other person’s status window!
Those of the people connected to my shadow and heart.
Information superiority is the secret to achieving victory. I happily checked the status window.
