Kishin, released from the Academy
“I cannot accept that someone with 0 mana affinity is a student at the Magic Academy. He must be expelled immediately.”
“I agree. There must have been some manipulation of the tester. It came back as 0 when I checked without prior notice. There must have been some manipulation of the last three tests.”
“I, Shin Gi, originally planned to apply to the Department of Tactics. However, since your mana affinity came out to 9, I recommended that you enroll in the Department of Magic. How about transferring to the Department of Tactics and starting your first year again next year?”
Yongducheon tried hard to defend him, but Shingi had been living too recklessly. Kisin was aware of the intervention of a transcendent power, so he studied hard as a supervisor and prepared step by step, but Shingi suspected the intervention of a transcendent power and acted even more recklessly. His intention was to use up the opponent’s DPP or save/load count.
Even if Shingi wasn’t a direct descendant of the Count, he wouldn’t have caused such a big backlash. In a magic academy where the majority are commoners, it’s easy to be jealous of a high-ranking noble’s direct descendant for having legendary affinity scores, and when he even acted arrogantly, all that pent-up backlash exploded all at once.
“Let’s do this. Shingi, a first-year student at the Magic Academy’s Department of Magic, is discharged from the Magic Academy. If this student attempts to re-enter the Magic Academy’s Department of Tactics, he will have to take the exam just like the other applicants. I hereby announce that the recommendation from the Shin family of the Change Count can never be used on Shingi again.”
Noble families have the right to recommend one of their children to either the Magic Academy or the Military Academy without an exam. As a result, there are often fewer children from noble families than from commoners who took the exam. In the beginning, many nobles went abroad to study in the British Empire due to corruption, and those who returned took up important positions in the Association and the Academy.
However, the British Empire, which felt the need to increase the magical power of the Korean Empire to a certain extent, sent back unqualified students and came to the academy to select students. However, due to strong protests from the Korean Empire Magic Association, the method was changed to having the academy recommend students and the British Empire verify their qualifications.
So the power of the commoners has grown stronger and stronger, and now in the wizarding society, the conflict between the nobles and the commoners is at its sharpest. The Magic Association still has the power of the nobles stronger, but the Magic Academy already has no great power among the nobles. If the divine mana affinity had been 8 instead of the amazing 9 or 10, he would have been subject to the restraints of the teachers of the commoners while at the Academy.
News of the release of the divine being and the manipulation of mana affinity spread quickly. Some people in Jindo who knew of the miracle-like work that the divine being had done thought that there had been some misunderstanding, but no one had the power to reverse the decision that had been made. Cha Mun-su, who had come to see off the divine being who was packing, hesitated and then opened his mouth.
“Brother, it’ll be hard to play games when I get home, so can you give me the game console?”
Kishin, who was very upset that he could no longer use the library with its many books, was angry when Cha Munsu foolishly asked for a game console. However, he forced himself to hold back and answered in a calm tone.
“What game console are you talking about?”
“You know that game console that my brother bought on the black market? The game that you supervise in the British Empire as a manager. Thanks to me, my brother was able to crack the encryption and recruit Gray and Hunter.”
The hands of the god who was packing his luggage stopped. When the god didn’t answer, Cha Mun-su continued to nag.
“My brother can’t charge his battery anymore because he has no mana. Batteries are hard to buy in the British Empire, so once the battery runs out, my brother can’t play the game anymore. I can charge it, so give me the game console. I’ll give you five silver coins.”
“I don’t actually have a game console. Everything I’ve said so far is all made up. I made it up to become close to you because you like games.”
After sending Cha Moon-soo away, Ki-shin turned the entire bedroom upside down. Finally, Ki-shin found the game console and put it in his luggage. Then, something occurred to him, so he took out the battery and kept it on his person.
‘That witch asked about the battery. It’s more likely that this battery is the key, not the game console. And my game console’s CPU is the key. If it works, I’ll have to study the CPU.’
When I was almost done packing, an uninvited guest came in. Corea, who was supposed to leave the Magic Academy and head to Beijing two days ago, suddenly showed up. Corea casted a spell on Gishin and searched through the luggage to find the game console. After confirming that there were no batteries in the game console, Corea scanned the room with her magic.
Korea is a great wizard. If the dragon’s heart is in this room, there should be something strange in Korea’s scan. Of course, we can only confirm that the dragon’s heart is in this room, and we cannot specify its location. However, Korea’s scan did not show anything.
The heart of the blue dragon, which should have been emitting a special wave, found stability from the spirit of the god. The heart, which had found peace for the first time in hundreds of years, went into a long hibernation. That was why it was able to avoid being scanned by Korea.
On her way to Beijing, Corea suddenly remembered the incident where the witch Elisa became an idiot, so she secretly returned to the Magic Academy. If a divine being with 0 mana affinity made Elisa an idiot, there might be something hidden. And it was also strange that she answered in pounds when asked about the price of the game console. It was more natural for a person from the Korean Empire to answer in silver.
When Corea, who had been running in vain, ran east again with acceleration magic, the god belatedly woke up from the magic. This time, Corea forgot to release the god’s magic. If he were a normal person, he would have searched around with his own hands to find the battery, but Corea was too confident in his magic and had too much faith in his knowledge, so he ended up missing the opportunity to retrieve the dragon’s heart.
After waking up from his magic, Kishin finished packing up his things and left the Magic Academy with Yongducheon as his farewell. Kishin was extremely reserved with his words for several days while traveling in a passenger car called the Engine Carriage. He was worried that his identity might be revealed.
When he arrived at the family home, a magnificent estate was spread out before Gisin’s eyes. In terms of social status, he was barely in the top 50 in the Korean Empire, but in terms of power, he was in the top ten. In times of war, he had the right to operate independently and commanded all military forces in the Korean Peninsula and the former Goguryeo territory to the north.
The butler ordered the servant to carry Kisin’s luggage and then guided him to the room where Kisin used to live. It didn’t feel like a room that had been cleaned up and left empty at all. The servant personally unpacked Kisin’s luggage and organized it for him. Kisin was so absorbed in looking around the room that he didn’t notice the servant’s eyes sparkling when he found the game console.
As dinner time approached, Kishin was troubled by what to do. He didn’t know whether his family would all eat together or if they would eat on their own. If they did, he didn’t know where to go. However, Kishin’s worries were easily resolved. Shin Hyun, the acting head of the household, came to see Kishin in person.
Shin Hyun slapped Shin Gi on the cheek without warning.
“You’re a weakling. If you were to be dishonorably expelled from the Magic Academy, you would realize your shortcomings and have to work even harder. You’re walking around with a game console, a game for the commoners?”
Nowhere in the book does it say that nobles should not play games. This is because games have only been around for a few decades. The conservative aristocrats of the Korean Empire simply kept games to themselves, saying that they were the play of the common people, in order to belittle the aristocrats of the British Empire. Few commoners have the ability to buy game consoles. Game consoles are toys made strictly for the aristocracy.
“You will not leave this room until the Master returns. I command you to do so in the name of the acting Master.”
Shin Hyun picked up the game console and threw it on the floor. Watching the game console shatter into pieces, Ki Shin thought to himself that it was a good idea to take out the battery beforehand. Of course, Ki Shin didn’t fully realize how good it was.
### I am the tired dividing line ###
There was a shootout at night, but it wasn’t near the hotel, but a little further away. The security around the hotel was relatively good. It was strange that individuals had firearms, but Shingi didn’t think much about it.
He asked the hotel staff about a defender in his early 30s playing football in Europe and got information about one player he suspected of being a recruit. However, he only got the address of the parents’ home and could not find any other contact information. When he went to the home address, he confirmed that the parents had already moved and that the player was 29 years old, not even 30 years old.
Shin-gi returned to the hotel by taxi and lay on the bed, panting. Last time in Shanghai, I felt very uncomfortable. I thought it was because I was in a different body, but I had no problems until today, and the same thing happened again.
“According to the intuition of the legendary great wizard, this is not a coincidence. There must be something in common.”
After much thought, Shingi found the answer without much difficulty. The game console that had been bothering him was the culprit. When he was away from the game console for a certain amount of time, he started to feel miserable, and when he came back to the game console, he gradually got better. Shingi, who had been staring at the game console, suddenly clapped his hands.
“I see. Just like I have a game console, the god also has a game console. The wizard’s intuition is truly amazing.”
The conclusion that Kishin leaked as soon as he discovered the existence of the game console was finally figured out a few days later by Shingi’s intuition as a magician. Einstein, who created the theory of the five stages of magic, is said to often make mistakes even when adding single-digit numbers. Edison, who invented the tester and systematized the production method of magic weapons, is said to not know how to shave alone, and Darwin, who divided monster grades into seven stages, is said to always wear socks of different colors.
Their intuition is so great that their logical thinking is limited. The reason why the Korean Empire has the strongest military is because the commander-in-chief of the army is not a magician or sorcerer. The British Empire prospered thanks to the power of magicians, but its development is stagnating due to the excessive interference of magicians.
He always has to carry the game console with him, but it’s too big. Shingi disassembled the game console and carried only the CPU on his person. As soon as he saw it, he knew exactly what he had to pack. Shingi, who had a meal in the hotel, gave the hotel staff a $10 tip and asked them to find as much information as possible about a center back in his early 30s who played soccer in Europe.
At night, another gunfight broke out. Shin-gi, who woke up to the sound, cast a shield spell, thinking that the glass could not stop the bullets. In stage 1, it would have been a normal shield with various elements mixed in. From stage 2, the shield’s properties changed depending on the main element. If there are many earth elements, it is effective in physical defense, and if there are many fire elements, it is effective in elemental defense. If there are many water elements, it shows average defense, and if there are many wind elements, it is effective in projectile defense.
However, the shield that Shingi unconsciously created was a shield made of transparent and clean ice. Shingi’s heart pounded at its beautiful appearance. To be exact, it was Kishin’s heart.
