How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives - How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives chapter 174

I don’t know what it is, but a huge magic circle was hidden inside this space.

It was a magic circle that felt like it would be quite difficult even for Leo when activated properly.

So I cut it before launching.

‘What is the test? I’m here to get artifacts, not for some weird test.’

A place where ancient dragon artifacts are hidden.

That’s why it seems like you have to go through a pretty tough journey to get this.

Of course, Leo had no intention of taking it lightly.

[Test… Chijik… . Chijik… .]

The voice that echoed inside the cavity soon lost its power and disappeared.

Only then did Leo calmly examine the magic circle he had cut off.

It was an ancient magic circle, and its shape was very complex.

Even with Leo’s cognitive abilities, it was difficult to figure out what it was at a glance.

Looking at it calmly, he soon caught a clue.

‘this… It seems to be used to seal magic?’

A magic circle that blocks only magic from being used while leaving magic power alone.

Leo frowned.

Even as a 6th-class man, if this had been activated properly, he could have been imprisoned.

If I had left it alone, it would have been in big trouble.

– Giiing!

– Geeeing!

At that moment, the sound of something moving was heard from above the altar.

Leo, Olivia, and Ailee’s gaze turned toward them.

“… What is that? Iron armor?”

“Is there a knight guarding the road here?”

Two iron armor statues of full plate mail that were placed on the altar as decorations.

it was moving

Red light flashed in the corners of his eyes, visible through the helmet.

The iron armor made a clanking sound and slowly walked down the altar.

Looking straight ahead, it was clear what he was aiming for.

“under.”

It was only then that Leo realized the intention behind this test.

“Are you saying you’re going to seal your magic ability and beat it up?”

What the hell were you thinking when you made this test?

From the point of view of the wizard Leo, his teeth trembled.

If he had been under that spell, he would have been in quite a bit of trouble.

Because he, who had his magic ability sealed, was so weak that he could not win even if he fought ordinary people.

-Chunk-chunk-chunk.

Iron armored knights slowly approached.

Perhaps it was because they were taller than 2m, and their hugeness stood out even from a distance.

‘I ‘

damn

Leo snapped his fingers.

[Freezing structural formula – Ice Golem]

Ice clumped in the air, and 12 golems clad in ice armor rose in front of Leo.

These, too, have changed a lot from the old golems.

Unlike before, which looked dull, it was now strong and agile.

Even the golem has been strengthened with willpower that has become extremely strong after reaching the 6th rank.

“Take care of it.”

When Leo sighed, the ice golems rushed out.

The guys who stomped and ran were soon entangled with the iron armor.

-bang! Bang!

– Kwajik!

As if it were a giant robot war, they start rolling around and fighting.

Ailee looked at Leo with a tired expression.

“I… professor?”

“Yes.”

“What can we do?”

The role of the original knight is clear.

As a wizard’s vanguard, to protect him and intercept opponents.

However, the level gap with Leo was so great that they had nothing to do.

“You just have to be still. You don’t have to do anything.”

“… Then there is no reason for me to come here?”

Ailee asked timidly.

She came to explore a new secret area and to act as a knight to help the wizard Leo.

Hearing this, Leo tilted his head.

“What are you talking about? Ailee did her part well enough. You found this place.”

But from Leo’s point of view, she was only a guide.

A guide for obtaining dragon artifacts.

Ailee, who recognized Leo’s intentions, pointed at Olivia with a slightly hurt expression.

“Well, then why did you bring Olivier? You don’t seem to need an article that much… .”

Leo shrugged.

‘Of course, I called him to carry him on his back if he was having a hard time.’

Since I couldn’t stand on the back of Ailee, whom I was seeing for the first time, I needed Olivia, my older sister.

And the intention was successful.

In fact, I almost died of exhaustion on the way, but I lived because Olivia was carrying me.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Olivia and Ailee were silent.

Over the golems still fighting, Leo walked slowly over to the altar.

Originally, the iron armor, which was supposed to stop Leo while doing tests and all, was busy dealing with the ice golems.

Leo arrived safely at the top of the altar.

‘Is this a dragon artifact?’

Above the altar was a golden bracelet.

A golden bracelet with a small dragon’s head carved on the tip.

Aside from its performance, it looked like an ancient treasure just by looking at its appearance.

snap.

Leo grabbed the bracelet.

-Giriririk…

Then, the two iron armor, which had been rampaging like crazy, stopped moving and collapsed.

The ice golem also naturally stopped maneuvering when the opponent was gone.

The cavity filled with loud noise fell into silence for an instant.

Leo looked at Olivia and Ailee and shrugged.

“Well… I think this is the end, shall we go back?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two women blankly nodded.

They didn’t do much, but the underground exploration of the academy ended in vain.

* * *

Even after Leo found the artifact, he stayed as a professor at the academy for about a week.

I found the dragon artifact, so I could have quit right away, but I decided that it was not polite to quit just because one’s job was done.

Moreover, a lecture is to explain the knowledge you know, but at the same time, you also realize something yourself.

After ascending to the 6th class, there was nothing like lectures to organize one’s own head.

And it was fun to teach the students secretly.

To be precise, I liked that the students needed me.

Even now, in Leo’s makeshift classroom, two groups of students were bickering.

“Professor Leo! please please! One more lecture at the Faculty of Magic, please! We are reviewing that circuit parfait all night right now, right? So many questions to ask!”

“Go away! You stupid wizards. Professor Leo says he doesn’t want to deal with stone heads like you. Rather, our knight undergraduates are much better.”

“what!? What are the real stone heads called?”

“under. Was that why not a single person in the class accepted Professor Leo’s knowledge? They even showed it to me several times, but no one caught it.”

“… … .”

The knight undergraduates grinned, but the wizard undergraduates kept their mouths shut like honeydew mutes.

Because what they said was true.

The knight undergraduate student with soaring confidence continued.

“On the other hand, what about us? While sparring with Professor Leo, I managed to get close to two of them. Is there even someone who succeeded in destroying the magic circuit that you guys couldn’t?”

Olivia Asian Rom Karst.

Leo’s older sister, and one of the best magic swordsman students in this system academy.

Rumor has it that there was a fight between the professors over whether she should go to the wizarding or knighting department.

He has great talent in both fields.

To the extent that no one in the Faculty of Magic was able to see and follow the magic puzzle several times.

“Keugh… .”

“It is against the law to bring up Olivia-sama… .”

The magic undergraduates made angry faces.

But there was nothing to say.

Olivia was an outstanding magician that even they acknowledged.

She even belonged to the royal family of the Kingdom of Rome, and was Professor Leo’s older sister, whom they clung to desperately.

I couldn’t bear to curse her, so I was just swallowing my anger.

“Calm down. If you’re going to keep fighting like that, go and fight somewhere other than my professor’s office.”

It was Leo who stopped them.

He said it was no big deal, but the students were at a loss.

“I’m sorry. professor.”

“We made a fuss while we were resting… Shall we come back next time?”

The usual drafting academy students didn’t look like this.

The crystallization of arrogance that they think is the best!

Even if they met the professor, they were the ones who thought they could become even greater in the future.

However, although Leo was younger than them, he showed himself that he was at a much higher level.

That’s why I had no choice but to cling desperately like this to learn more of his knowledge and experience.

“There is no need for that. There’s no need to make noise. Anyway, both faculties plan to give a few more lectures.”

“ah… !”

The faces of both the Magician and Knight Faculty students brightened.

“Now then, just go back.”

“Yes! See you next time, Professor!”

“I love you, Professor!”

The students bowed politely and disappeared.

A professor from the Faculty of Wizardry who happened to see it while passing by was startled.

‘no… !?’

Do those arrogant students bow down?

The professor opened his eyes wide, knowing that he had seen something wrong.

He explained what he saw to his fellow professors.

Rumors quickly spread throughout the academy.

Oh my God, how can you get that kind of respect from those students!

From that day on, several professors started looking for Leo to learn ‘how to earn the respect of students!’

* * *

Leo spent some time hanging out at the drafting academy.

It will be several months from now that we will meet again with Louie, the former Warchief of the Lycanthropes.

Originally, I had to find the artifact in the meantime, but luckily I found it very quickly.

So, since I’ve been running hard up until now, I took a break and worked hard on artifact research while working as a professor.

‘Mmm. It’s not easy.’

However, it was difficult to find out the secret of this dragon-shaped bracelet.

Even though it was Leo who accepted the dragon’s knowledge from the ruins, the bracelet did not respond.

I knew that once I got this, I could use dragon words freely and go up to the 7th rank.

‘Also. Life can’t be that easy.’

I still haven’t figured out how to use this.

To think that even oneself, who is the second most talented person in the world, can’t get a sense of it.

‘Should I go and visit Prince Bahelm?’

However, it hurt my pride to give up like this.

So, Leo groaned and clung to the artifact.

While those days continue.

-smart.

-Professor Leo.

Someone came to Leo’s office with a knock on the door.

“who are you?”

Even as Leo asked, he thought it was one of them.

One of the students who came to ask a question about the lecture, or the professor whining to tell the students how to earn their respect.

‘How do you ask me to tell you that, Won.’

I just did it, but I thought there was a special lecture method and asked me to tell it.

I wanted to focus on the Artifact for now, so I thought of sending either one of them back with the words to come back later.

However, the answer that followed was unexpected.

– Your Majesty sent it. You said that the opening date for the Venus warehouse has been set for Professor Leo.

“… Five.”

Leo was amazed.

The Venus warehouse that the emperor said he would open for Leo.

The opening date of the warehouse where the best treasures of the empire are gathered has been set.
