Academy’s Second Seat - Academy’s Second Seat chapter 57

A few days ago, Maguire’s lab.

“Hmm… … .”

Luna was in a snowball fight with paper in Maguire’s lab.

A magic circle was drawn on the paper.

It was a magic circle to be used for personal evaluation.

However, there was a problem.

Scrolling is not allowed in evaluation.

If you can’t use the scroll, you have to make a magic tool using mana stones.

However, there was a limit to the mana stones that Luna could obtain.

If you use poor-quality mana stones, the mana that can be put into the magic circle decreases.

However, it was impossible to use a magic circle that had a bad effect, so I had no choice but to maximize the efficiency of the magic circle.

The problem was that no matter how efficient the magic circle was made with the mana stones that Luna could obtain, it was difficult to show a good side in the evaluation.

However, there was no other solution, so he was just trying to make the magic circle as efficient as possible.

“Okay… … .”

Maguire’s lab assistants were looking at Luna like that.

I wanted to give Luna some help, but it was hard to know what the problem was because Luna was moaning while looking at the paper.

“Hmmm!”

While everyone was watching, a female assistant stood up.

And cautiously walked behind Luna.

“I… … Luna? What are you worried about?”

Luna turned her head at the voice from behind.

Then he smiled softly and opened his mouth.

“Ah, there’s something wrong with the magic circle…”

Then the assistant’s expression brightened.

“Yeah? So can I help you? Where’s the problem?”

“Oh, it’s fine. Thank you for your concern.”

“that… … Where is it not working? I might help… … .”

“no! I’ll unravel it!”

At Luna’s euphemistic refusal, the female assistant returned to her seat defeated.

However, the defeat became an opportunity for the other assistants.

‘Magic circle is the problem?’

‘That looks like a well-made magic circle, what do you dislike?’

Everyone opened their eyes and looked at the magic circle in front of Luna.

However, I couldn’t find the problem.

This magic circle was close to a perfect magic circle that was well activated and had good efficiency.

It just couldn’t be put into the mana stones that Luna had.

Luna moaned again and tried to make the magic circle’s efficiency even a little bit better.

However, there was no way to fix the magic circle that already boasted the greatest efficiency.

“What are you all doing?”

That’s when Professor Maguire entered the lab.

Professor Maguire was impressed as the assistants swayed their hips from their chairs, spying on Luna’s magic circle.

“Oh, Professor. hello!”

Luna heard Maguire’s voice and got up from her seat and greeted her politely.

Maguire smiled at Luna like that.

He felt refreshed when he saw these pure sprouts, after seeing only the tired assistants and professors with low self-esteem every day.

Professor Maguire asked Luna with a kind voice.

“Yes, are you preparing well for the evaluation?”

“ah… … that is… … .”

Luna smiled awkwardly while holding the paper with the magic circle on it.

“Is that a magic circle for personal evaluation?”

“yes… … .”

“Okay, let’s see.”

Professor Maguire sat down at his seat and took the paper from Luna.

Then I looked at the paper slowly.

There seemed to be no problem with the magic circle.

Efficiency seemed to have been taken care of to the extent that Luna knew, and the patterns that control the magic circle were also properly placed.

The harmony between the main magic and other patterns was also good.

He also seemed to have a good understanding of personal evaluation, and seemed to show Luna’s strengths well.

Professor Maguire raised his head slightly and looked at Luna.

Even though Luna gave her such a well-made magic circle, she wiggled her fingers as if uneasy about something.

‘There seems to be something wrong.’

Professor Maguire quickly noticed Luna’s appearance.

Having been at the academy for several decades, the way he looked was different from that of his assistants.

Professor Maguire pondered for a moment.

So what’s the problem?

There is no problem with the magic circle.

If so, it means that the problem lies outside of it.

Professor Maguire recalled Luna’s biggest problem.

taken from noblemtl.net

Money.

I heard that Professor Cromwell paid for the cost even when I was attending his special lecture.

Of course, after teaching Luna several times, he judged that he was a proper talent, returned the cost to Cromwell and taught him for free.

However, it didn’t change that Luna had no money.

Professor Maguire patted his chin.

In this situation, he could have given out mana stones normally, but it was clear that Luna would refuse if that was the case.

Even if he offered to buy me a meal or offered to give me something good, he rejected it all with an iron wall.

Then you need to find a gap in Luna’s iron wall.

“Hmm… … .”

Professor Maguire frowned, remembering one trick.

“The magic circle is not very good.”

Luna was taken aback by Professor Maguire’s words and opened her mouth.

“… … uh? Is that so?”

Luna didn’t think there was a problem with the magic circle itself.

So, I couldn’t help but be taken aback by Professor Maguire’s sudden criticism.

I did not know that Professor Maguire, who only praised him every day, would say such a thing.

However, there was a little hope in his eyes.

I was wondering if there was a way to make it more efficient.

Professor Maguire put down the circle and pointed his finger at the center of the circle.

“Too weak.”

“… … yes?”

“Too weak.”

Professor Maguire opened the drawer and took out a mana stone.

“This is not enough. You have to think of getting first place.”

Professor Maguire placed the mana stones he took out in front of Luna.

“I made a bet with the professors this time.”

Professor Maguire raised an eyebrow as he said that.

“I bet you’ll be first.”

“I, me?”

Luna pointed her finger at herself and widened her eyes.

“Yeah, so you can’t take first place with a magic circle like this, right?”

Professor Maguire said so, but frankly, this magic circle also had the power to win.

However, he was planning to grow more Luna by saying this.

“I’ll give you this mana stone, so bring a stronger magic circle and come first.”

Professor Maguire said to Luna as if to take the mana stone on the desk.

Professor Maguire knew Luna’s personality to some extent.

With that said, Luna decided not to reject this mana stone.

If he told Luna that he was making a one-sided investment, he would definitely refuse, but he mentioned the bet with the professors and made the process of handing over the mana stones feel like a series of transactions.

Luna ignited her enthusiasm, as Maguire had expected.

Luna’s eyes lit up at the fact that there was something she could do for the professor.

And I made a firm commitment.

“First place… … I will come!”

Luna said so and held the mana stone tightly in her hand.

Maguire looked at Luna like that and smiled.

“Luna Railer, let’s get started.”

Luna said that and started the cube she took out of her pocket.

Then the cube unfolded, and the black mana stone in the center boasted a brilliant color.

‘Starting the cube… … .’

After doing that, Luna focused on the scarecrow.

The coordinates were precisely pointed towards the scarecrow.

Luna set the coordinates like that and glanced at the audience.

Rudy was there.

‘Rudy, you can’t yield this time.’

When Rie used magic, she found Rudy.

However, Luna did not go to say hello to Rudy.

It seemed that if I met Rudy, I would not have the heart to do my best.

It seemed that the promise that he was going to take first place would crumble.

Surely Rudy had prepared well, but I didn’t have to go to meet him because I was afraid that I would want to make Rudy first.

Professor Maguire also gave the mana stones and believed in him.

I didn’t want to betray Professor Maguire like that.

“Ugh!”

Luna precisely specified the coordinates and activated the cube.

Then, the mana stone in the center of the cube emitted a strong light.

A magic circle originally created by Luna.

The magic circle was a magic that took coordinates on a point, stacked the magic several times, and then activated it at once at that point.

The main magic in the magic circle was the basic magic, fire attribute magic.

He chose the most effective magic.

However, after receiving a mana stone from Professor Maguire, he was able to choose a much better magic.

Luna was worried.

Which magic should I choose?

At that moment, Luna remembered a magic.

Professor Cromwell’s Telekinesis Magic.

That magic was iconic at the academy.

A magic that can only be learned by being chosen by Professor Cromwell among outstanding people.

And magic that boasts overwhelming power.

He wouldn’t be able to use it himself, but he could implement it with a magic circle.

Luna exclaimed in her heart.

‘Gravity.’

– quagga gaga !!!!!

Then a strong pressure was applied to the narrow place where the scarecrow was.

Small stones around the scarecrow were crushed into sand, and the scarecrow was pressed by the gravity and began to bend.

“What… … what.”

People around them looked at the scene in amazement.

The scarecrow that did not budge even with Lie’s magic was bending.

– Aww!

“Ugh!!!”

Luna let out a moan.

Mana stones were in charge of activating this magic, but Luna was in charge of specifying the coordinates.

Because of that, Luna’s mana continued to be sucked into the mana stones.

Luna stared at the scarecrow without losing her concentration.

And gradually the cube stopped working.

-grasp!

Only after the black mana stone in the center of the cube turned red did the cube close and fall into Luna’s arms.

“Whew… … .”

After exhaling, Luna looked at the scarecrow.

The bottom of the scarecrow was crumpled, and the body was bent like a person giving a greeting.

When Luna saw that, joy flooded in.

And I heard the presenter’s voice.

-Luna… … Railer takes first place with 4520 points!

“Ugh!”

When Luna heard the sound, she clenched her fists with a happy face.

A score nearly twice that of Rie.

It was overwhelmingly number one.

“What is that…….”

And the audience couldn’t hide their surprise.

He used a telekinesis magic that said that only the talented who had been chosen by Professor Cromwell would be used.

He used that magic as if to ridicule the chosen talented people.

Of course, Luna didn’t mean to do that.

However, it was enough to deliver shock and emotion to the audience.

Luna happily exited the vacant lot.

After I got out, I walked to where Rudy was.

Next to Rudy, Rie had a strange face.

“Rudy!”

When Luna called, Rudy smiled and gave a thumbs up.

“Well done.”

“Hehe… … .”

“… … .”

Lie, who was next to him, looked at Luna as if resentful.

And with a confident smile, he opened his mouth.

“I’m the first in this evaluation.”

Luna proudly declared first place.

Rie had an angry expression on her face, but Rudy raised an eyebrow.

“I’m number 80, would you like to go see it?”

“yes? okay!”

Luna nodded and watched the evaluation for a moment.

Not long after, the host’s voice was heard.

-80, Rudy Astria student.

After hearing the voice of the host, Rudy looked at Luna and Rie and opened her mouth.

“Luna, I’m sorry, but I’ll come first.”

“to?”

Rudy said those words and immediately walked down to the vacant lot.

“Rudy Astria, let’s start.”

And without being exactly in the right place, he walked and shouted the start.

Luna and Rie looked at Rudy with puzzled faces.

Not only the two of them, but everyone around them looked at Rudy with strange faces.

Rudy didn’t mind those gazes and kept walking forward.

I walked until I reached near the scarecrow, and when there were about five steps left, I grabbed my right wrist with my left hand and clenched my fist.

Then he twisted his back and pulled his fist back as far as he could.

With such a posture, he stepped towards the scarecrow.

“uh?”

“what?”

Everyone was shocked to see it.

A student at the Faculty of Magic is raising his fists and standing tall.

and… … .

– aa

Rudy slapped the scarecrow in the face with precision, and the scarecrow was broken.

The scarecrow’s face fell to the floor.

“this… … Chew.”

“What is that?!”

The scarecrow’s face was smashed into the ground, and the part where the face was buried was dented and cracked on the floor.

“after!”

Rudy exhaled and relaxed her shoulders and wrists.

There was no expression of joy or embarrassment on his face. It was just a normal expression.

-roo… … Lydia Ah, Ah, Astria!!!! 9510 points!!!!!

The presenter exclaimed in excitement, the words ringing the academy.
