Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 304

Magic Stone (4)

“Let’s go home soon.”

I had an early dinner with my sister and returned home.

There was still much to be done, including the elders and the family’s internal strife over origins, but from now on it was their turn to fight each other, not mine.

─Don’t you want to stop?

“Who are you talking about?”

─I’m talking about elders who were forcibly removed from their positions and newly appointed elders.

“Now that I think about it, everyone’s eyes looked unusual.”

After I ate dinner.

I recalled the war of nerves between the two forces that even took place in the hallway.

The servants were at a loss, and the two forces clashed on their own grounds.

Those on the elders’ side raised their voices, saying that most of the real power in the family lies with the elders, so it is right to give power to the elders.

Those on my side chided me, telling me to read the trend and the atmosphere. They also gave me a hint, reminding me of why the elders were not in a good mood during the meeting.

The problem is that neither side will make concessions, so the mood continues to deteriorate.

“I thought you could at least fight with your fists. If you do something wrong, I’ll even try to assassinate you with a knife.”

A few people will die.

─Do you have no intention of protecting the elders you appointed?

“Huh? Why me?”

─… … Huh?

Something is missing from the conversation.

It seems like the intentions of what we’re saying are different.

“The elders I chose were chosen from the beginning with the intention of using them as meat shields.”

─Why go through all that trouble?

“They were the ones who needed to be disposed of.”

Most of the nobles who had some influence within the family had long been on the side of the elders. They mostly followed the elders, and most of those who held their positions when new elders were elected were unqualified.

A bug that doesn’t even have the strength to cling to an elder.

A bat trying to increase its value by comparing the conditions and sizes of the two forces.

These guys don’t need to be under me.

So, I chose only these guys and made them elders.

─Are you thinking of completely splitting the family?

“Well, it would be a wound to the family.”

─No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like it’s at the level of a wound.

It was obvious what would happen after I returned home.

Even without using my imagination, the events that would happen at my parents’ house in the future were magically depicted in my mind.

I chuckled at the prospect of the chaos that was to come.

“The powerless will be driven out first.”

It was a battle of power against power.

The first to explode in the fight between two giant whales are not the whales, but the shrimps living around them.

The shrimps will all burst, their flesh and entrails being absorbed into the whale’s mouth.

That too is nutritious in its own way.

It won’t be abundant.

“Then the bats start dying.”

Bats that have raised their price by going back and forth between various forces will lose their wings in the fight between whales. The fall of a bat that loses its wings and plummets into the sea will be uglier than the fall of any bird.

Up until now, even whales don’t pay attention.

Whether you fall or not.

It doesn’t interfere with the trend at all.

“After the bats, it is the turn of the powerless lions.”

A lion leads a pride, but a lion that is defeated in a fight for territory wanders alone. Although he is strong enough on his own.

If we unite our forces, we can become stronger.

The lion, left alone due to the lack of that force, will eventually be split in half by the two whales’ strife and become the nutrients for each whale.

“That way the incompetent and the stupid will be filtered out.”

─That’s fine, but what if the fight escalates and the whale starts bleeding? You don’t want the meat of the whale, you want two whole whales.

Full power and authority.

And based on those foundations, the money is gradually accumulated.

For these, we must take measures to prevent the whales from dying, even if victims are created in the process of the two whales fighting.

“It doesn’t have to be me.”

I am not the only one who wants to prevent division in the family and monopolize power.

Two in our family.

No, there are three.

“You’ll know if you wait a month.”

Until then, I just have to prepare.

Tinkle!

The keys in his pocket shook as if calling him.

You haven’t called yet.

It’s been about ten days since the weekend when the existing elders were dismissed and new elders were elected. Today is a weekday, so I’m getting ready for work.

“There’s breaking news?”

“Why, turn it on TV?”

“Please.”

I received a breaking news alert from the newspaper I subscribed to.

The amount was too long to check on a cell phone, so Baekhyun, who was watching next to her, turned on the TV with the remote control.

On the TV, which was as wide as the living room, disturbing news was broadcast from the morning.

“A murder case? Last night, too? And it’s right around here.”

“……What was meant to happen has finally happened.”

The dead party is one of the new elders of the family.

There were 7 elders.

“You didn’t kill him, did you?”

“Me? If I had committed the assassination, I would have chosen to wear a mask and pretend to be a villain, thereby increasing my notoriety and influence.”

“I can’t argue with you because I think that would really be the case.”

“It’s not like it seems like it, but in reality, they assassinated about four people.”

“What are the crimes and assets of the assassinated target?”

The charges are ones I don’t want to mention, and I laundered 90% of the property I took from their house and used it for myself.

10% was donated to other orphanages.

Of course, I washed it clean and distributed it.

I can’t give them blood money.

I don’t know if it’s money that’s been laundered with blood.

Baekhyun nodded after listening to my explanation to the end.

“Then it’s fine.”

With a convinced expression, she stared intently at the face of the dead man on TV.

She is a “doppelganger” created based on my memories.

It seemed like he was checking if I had any information about that man in my memory. At that moment, Baekhyun’s eyes widened.

“How is it? Do you know who it is?”

“No… how could that greedy guy?”

Radiation. He is a person in memory.

“Why did you die now?”

In a bad way.

“That’s right. I didn’t know it would take ten days.”

I did think of Radiance as the first person to die.

I thought I would die within a week at most, or three days at the shortest.

But who would have thought it would last ten days?

“The calculations were a little off, but since the first victim came late, the chain reaction will be enormous.”

“……I don’t need any of that. It won’t have any negative influence on the kids, right?”

Baekhyun looked back at me with a dark face.

Well, if it’s going to be a bad influence on the kids.

“Something like an assassin.”

“It would be surprising in its own way if an assassin were to breach this house’s security.”

“Can’t they come in if they break the window or the wall?”

“Do you think I made this house so extravagant?”

This house is full of not only children but also my research materials.

Of course, the security level and defense system have been prepared with certainty.

He directly carved magic with a sword into a magic stone larger than a person. The magic stone was a battery, and the magic was a sorcery that reached the realm of great magic.

And dozens of them were embedded or installed throughout this house.

Thirty on the ground. Twenty on the walls of the house.

This house is protected by 50 layers of defensive magic barriers.

Honestly, this is hard for me to get through.

Well, it might be possible to break through it somehow, but it was designed so that the entire family inside could be evacuated with plenty of time to spare.

“If an assassin broke into this house without anyone knowing, wouldn’t it be reasonable to consider that even if he killed me, it was essentially a natural death?”

“If you are going to boast like that, then what?”

I’m sure you did well.

Baekhyun-ah seemed to have lost interest in TV and focused on eating breakfast.

“I’ll go wake up the kids.”

Then he got up from his seat to wake the children.

It seems like she slept late last night because she was reading a book. Today, Baekhyun woke up the kids later than usual.

“……That girl is now a mother too.”

I glanced at Baekhyun.

She wears an apron over her neatly ironed clothes, and her long black hair is tied up with a string. Perhaps because she has a beautiful overall appearance, it suits her quite well.

─The atmosphere has changed quite a bit compared to the first day.

“You too, the atmosphere has changed quite a bit.”

─Ha, I originally had a hundred faces, so I have a hundred faces.

“Yeah, I guess it would be good if schizophrenia were severe.”

Certainly, the atmosphere of the house was gradually changing into that of a typical family home.

Of course, ordinary homes do not have magic stones embedded in them, nor do they raise vampires and dragons as their children.

Still, to this extent.

I think it’s a pretty happy family home.

─… … Do you think I helped you just to hear that? Oh my, how dare you get up from your seat? Why don’t you sit down?

“Enough with the sermon. I have something to do this morning, so I don’t have time to waste arguing with you.”

─It’s true, I’m talking nonsense. Ha, okay, I said I had something to do, so I’ll go in and get some sleep this time.

“…….”

Since it was a question that didn’t necessarily need an answer, I cleared away the cutlery on the table without saying anything. After I cleaned up everything I had eaten and put on my shoes to go to work in my uniform, Tamamo asked me a question.

─But what happened today?

“……Just school work.”

─You haven’t been doing anything special lately. You just go to the lab every day and do research, right?

“They told me to attend at least the minimum number of class days.”

─Minimum number of school days? Who said that?

Now, I was going to work in the lab, but my status at the academy was that of a teaching assistant.

I’m not a professor, so I wonder what the minimum number of class days is.

“Professor.”

The only person I call professor is Nam Hwa-yeon.

She is my magic teacher and also my benefactor who provides me with all kinds of conveniences.

It was thanks to that gentleman that I was assigned to the lab.

If that kind of person tells you to do it, you should do it.

─Yeah, you prepared hard for the lecture, right?

It was a sudden lecture schedule, though.

Even Tamamo-do nodded his head.

She has received that much.

“preparation?”

─You didn’t do it, did you?

“Is it really necessary to do that?”

The midterm exams for the second semester of the first year have passed.

Now the final exams are approaching.

Most students have found their own career path based on their aptitude and future aspirations based on the classes they have taken so far.

What students need now is not to pave the way for them, but to be taught how to look after themselves.

And the method is.

I know best.

“If you fight every first-year student one-on-one, that’s the end of it.”

─Do you… … have any ill feelings toward the students?

“I’m not trying to fight over something as trivial as ill feelings. And I don’t have any ill feelings toward the students in the first place.”

It is most efficient to just look back on yourself through fighting.

Because it is the most certain.

The human race originally exerts its greatest strength just before death.

─Are you saying that you beat him until he died?

“I won’t kill you. I won’t kill you.”

Of course, hand-holding is essential.

The next day, everyone will be able to go to school normally.

“It’s been a while since I had a class.”

I’m a little nervous.

─Wouldn’t the students’ hearts be pounding?
