chapter 25
Lane stumbled into the dormitory, closed the door, and sat back down on the chair as if collapsing. Then, frantically opening 『The Life and Achievements of Archmage Rin』, I found the index list at the end of the book.
ㆍTureina
– 91p, 154p, 189p, 268p
“There is no story that you fell for black magic? Is there any reason you missed it?”
I read all the stories about Turaina on the pages listed in the index, but there was nothing like that.
[Tureina was a child that Rista Party found in the collapsed village of Lambres.]
It was a village that sank into a swampy area due to erosion from the abyss, but how did that guy survive by hiding in the attic?
Were you seven years old then?
It was a source of trouble for me to give him something to eat in order to shut up as he was crying with a dirty look. Since then, it has been following me around.
[Rin sees through Tureina’s magical talents at a glance and makes her a disciple and teaches her magic.]
this is manipulation
It wasn’t that I taught them by looking at their magical talents.
– Let’s entrust this child to the shrine in the next city we pass through.
– That’s fine, Lista. It’s too dangerous to travel with us.
Lista and Friede offered to entrust Tureina to the shrine, but… … From what Lin had learned from life in the slums, it was clear that he would not see good things if he handed it over to the new party.
The moment you are entrusted to the shrine, your future is decided.
Become a monk in the shrine, or become a petty thief if you escape the life of the shrine.
– Hey, don’t people get treated if they don’t have value?
– … … ?
– The truth will set you free. A quote from the first wizard, Emitsa Page. Magic is a great ability. Give social value to those who can write.
I was just thinking of teaching some basic magic. Then, wherever you go, you will be able to be used as a service magician. It was just that.
– Even if you don’t understand what I’m trying to teach you, grit your teeth and learn. okay?
The boy learned well without any fuss.
The name Tureina was also coined at that time.
‘It’s a dragon word meaning ‘learning.’
As the two stuck together all the way to the city, Friede laughed and said, “Rin must have fallen for that girl, he likes babies.” Lista asked with a serious expression out of the blue if she really liked younger people.
– It’s not like that.
It’s just that I saw myself in the days when I was wandering around the slums, desperately learning magic after being taken away by the dean, from Turaina.
Was it simple sympathy or pity… … . It was only through teaching that I knew that he had considerable talent.
‘That mischievous kid… … .’
Lane tucked her hand in her back and stared blankly up at the ceiling of the dormitory.
‘I want you to know how much you followed me around.’
I dropped by the city and entrusted him to the shrine, but he managed to escape with the magic I taught him and followed him until the end.
Sabu, Master Lin… … He tried not to leave me even for a moment.
He had a great talent for magic, so he was soon able to fight the abyss, but he said he couldn’t keep up with him in the final battle.
– Sabu, I want to go too. I will go and fight with you… … please take me with you… … .
Come to think of it, I think I told Tureina to wait because I’ll be back. Lane whirled her quill in the air.
“Ew, what to do with this troublemaker?”
It’s not really my fault that I couldn’t come back… … Actually, I think I’ve done everything as a master since I prepared a stepping stone to become a shaman for a guy who might have died somewhere.
“If you did, you should have eaten well, lived well, and died as an adult. Why did you have an accident in your later years that you shouldn’t have to do and become a member of the church?”
If you really studied black magic… … .
Perhaps the fact that she was a child taught by the archmage Rin and Friede, and that she performed the duties of a priestess, saved her from immediate excommunication and questioning for heresy.
‘According to Sammy’s words, he seems to have lived a long and healthy life because he made extenuating circumstances… … .’
So, when I was three years old, I died of old age, so why did books suddenly appear on the censorship list this year?
“I have no idea.”
As I was spinning the pen around, I remembered something and opened Rin’s diary. Immediately, the magic butterfly, Ludyen, popped out and sat on top of her head.
Socrafres.
– You can inherit the ‘unique magic’ research progress in the surrounding environment.
– Progress 37.9% => 39.9%.
climbed!
even 2% me.
If you catch someone with magic and defeat them, it must be right to climb. I felt good, but now my attention was elsewhere.
[Our most wonderful master in the world]
On the bottom right of page 86, the language of the Republic of Yongin written in cute handwriting. It was a prank Turaina had played before.
Above that, the scene where Rin hit Tureina on the head with a pen while teaching magic was drawn sloppily.
“… … .”
As soon as I found this when I was lean, I slammed the top of my head… … Right now, Lane just looked at the disciple’s prank in silence for a long time.
Until the moon rises in mid-heaven and the starlight shines through the window until it finally gets dark and the light of dawn rises.
For a very, very long time, Lane had been silently looking at the picture, unable to close the journal.

“Today’s class is about solving quadratic equations. In middle school, you would have sought solutions only in the range of real numbers, but in order to advance to 2-star magic, you must learn how to find solutions in the range of complex numbers… … .”
<Delayten> adopted a moving class method for intensive courses in order to make use of the professional characteristics of each professor. In other words, the person who is more proficient in the class leads the class.
‘Wow, that’s crazy… … .’
I try to take a class to check the development of modern mathematics, but my eyes keep closing. If you are forced to stay awake, the thalamus divides into two or three parts and then merges them repeatedly.
can’t stand sleepiness
Rin’s body was able to withstand the march without sleeping for two days.
“… … Hmmm, the time is already like this. I’ll give you a sample problem, so you can solve it by this time tomorrow. Don’t discuss it, solve it alone.”
As soon as I received the hwaseonji that the teaching assistant handed out, I scrawled a quill on it and then banged my head on the desk.
“hey.”
However, there was a voice that cheerfully entered the drowsy consciousness.
Christa Warden.
It was so noisy that I used to deliberately sit far away in mobile classes, but did I come here again?
“Let’s have a match that we couldn’t win the other day here and now! It’s a contest to see who solves this first!”
Lane kept his head down and waved his hands like a dead man, as if telling him to go away.
“All solved.”
“what?”
“I already solved everything. go away.”
Then it was quiet for a while.
Fortunately, it seemed to back away, but suddenly I felt a strange pressure under my arm. I was trying to get the hwaseonji out.
“Hey, torn. What are you doing.”
“Give me this! Where is this playing yari!”
As Rain sighed and lifted his arm, Krista took the rice paper away. No solution process was written, only the correct answer was written.
“Look at this, don’t you know that the prestige of the Madose family is going to collapse if you do it carelessly like this? Let’s compete with me quickly, serious competition! Hey, are you listening?!”
But Lane didn’t answer. Soon enough, I could even hear the sound of my breathing. Christa crossed her arms in dissatisfaction.
“… … What did you do until late at night on the weekend?”
As soon as I received this, I thought I was the only one who expected a lot to win… … . Christa clicked her tongue and sat down at the back of the lane.
‘Let’s solve it in two minutes.’
Break time is 10 minutes. If you solve it within two minutes, you will have time to revise Lane’s answer sheet.
Christa is a genius at the top entrance, and as expected, she solved 10 examples at once in 1 minute and 37 seconds.
“Ra Berti (excellent)!”
Christa, who had been praising herself while looking at her answer sheet with satisfaction, looked around and put Lane’s answer sheet on her desk.
Fortunately, most of the students did not return to their classes.
Hiding the slight embarrassment with clearing her throat, Christa leaned over the desk and whispered so low that only Lane could hear it.
“Hey, hey, hey hey. isn’t this helping? They are trying to protect the prestige of the Madose family.”
“… … .”
“You can’t damage our family because of you. It can’t be.”
Then, Gertrude Panton, who had been standing by and watching Christa’s actions, opened her eyes gently.
“Looking at you from the side, it seems like the lady really likes Gongja. Is my misunderstanding correct?”
“?”
“?”
“Hey, do you think I would like this guy? This guy is a rival. I just don’t want to see my rival collapse in a strange place.”
I thought he would be taken aback, but Gertrude was surprised and relieved at the unexpectedly sincere answer. I don’t think anything strange will happen between you two.
Then someone appeared and poked his head out the back door. He was a 3rd grade boy with a kind appearance.
“Miss Christa Warden?”
“?”
“I’m from the student council, can you give me a minute?”
Ah, the student council… … Krista nodded and got up from her seat.
“You do this. got it?”
“Yes, if Master Lane is expelled, the young lady will be bedridden with a love affair, so I will do my best.”
“You, you, this, I came back later and died!”
After Christa followed the student council senior, Gertrude sat down with a sigh and solved her problem.
It took 2 minutes and 58 seconds.
Pushing aside her own answer sheet, Gertrude, who was about to write answers and solutions on Lane’s answer sheet, hesitated for a moment.
‘what?’
This… … I couldn’t believe it, so I checked my answer sheet and Lane’s answer sheet again and again, but the reality was the same.
‘All the answers are the same as mine… … ?’
Lane obviously banged her head on the desk as soon as the professor left. The time from when the teaching assistant handed out the hwaseonji to the professor left was 10 seconds at best.
‘It’s not that difficult, but you solved it all in 10 seconds? Is that all with mental arithmetic?’

Due to the report of the abnormal phenomenon that the Rat-Spider Queen appeared on the ground, traffic around Seonryu Peak in the Red Mountains was completely blocked.
At the level of the Adventurer Guild, it was forbidden to hunt the Rat-Spider until an investigation team was organized with high-ranking adventurers.
There were two human beings who fearlessly entered such an earth. One was a tall man and the other a girlish woman.
“Ah, after half a year of hard work, I made it… … .”
Both of them were wearing dark blue robes, but normal people wouldn’t wear clothes of this color unless they wanted a hot date with the Heretic Questioner.
Dark blue was the color of the abyss, so only the sorcerers of the Black Church, who worshiped the abyss, wore clothes like this.
“Aww, annoying, annoying, annoying!”
Looking at the rat-spider queen’s small body, the woman stamped her feet and flapped her arms.
“I should have reduced the number of bug-like adventurers and brought out the ‘golden children’ with this!”
In the meantime, the man moved around the area, touching the ground and the trees that were dry from the heat of the fire, raising his eyebrows.
“Unbelievable explosion radius at a level where the heat of the flames still remains… … This is at least a 4 star spell. I must be vigilant.”
“What should I be on the lookout for? what is it? ‘Rem and Bart’s Money Copying Adventure Team’? They said they caught it using a scroll!”
A scroll is not simply a piece of paper with magic squares drawn on it. It was a word that meant a high-level magic tool that was infused with magic power into the magic square.
To put it simply, it should be said that non-magicians can use magic simply by opening the scroll.
However, unless you are a 4-star wizard, you wouldn’t even dare to make one, and even a 4-star wizard would take quite a bit of time to make, and since it was disposable, the price wasn’t too bad.
“I also have to retaliate. I should just separate the flesh from the bone and throw it away!”
“Then you’re just giving the ‘Golden Children’ physical proof that we’re in the South. You can’t ruin something that’s on track.”
“Then I’m going to die of annoyance, so what should I do! I want to catch someone and kill them! I want you, I want you!”
The woman whined like a child and patted the man with a hammer, but the man just sighed and pressed his dark blue hoodie deeply, as if he was used to his boss’s fooling around.
“Once the plan has gone awry, there are other things that should take precedence over retaliation.”
“what! what! What!”
“What do you have? Don’t report to Tureina-sama.”
