Surviving as an Academy Black Magician - Surviving as an Academy Black Magician chapter 108

There is not much time.

The incident will happen tomorrow.

From now on, you have to keep moving.

On the way to the Caligo Mansion, I summoned Roman and asked for a favor.

It was to bring one person.

… … Perhaps he will listen to my request.

Arriving at Count Caligo’s house with the magic to block presence, I headed straight to the butler Jackson’s room.

Since I had already been there once, it wasn’t too difficult to find the way.

I opened the window and went into Jackson’s room.

Jackson, who found me, took a stance with fighting spirit.

I had no intention of wasting my time dealing with him here.

I took off my mask

“I’m not here to fight.”

His eyes widened.

“you are… … . A friend of the lady?”

I nodded. As much as he had supported Count Caligo for a long time, he also knew Frey’s identity.

said Jackson, still alert.

“What are you doing here at midnight? I don’t think I’ll be able to just let it go depending on the answer, no matter how much I’m a friend of the lady’s.”

This reaction is natural. Although it is said that the family status has declined now, the Caligo family is a historical samurai family.

A proud family that has always taken the lead in protecting the people at the forefront of the empire.

Even though I was friends with Frey, it was actually a felony for me to break in without prior consent.

However, I don’t have time right now to be arguing about such manners.

I threw the bait right away.

“I have a plan to improve the family lord’s condition.”

“… … Is it really? How come you, not even a healing magician, know that?”

he took the bait

“Is that important?”

The desperate side isn’t me, it’s the other side.

It’s true that mine is much more desperate, but Jackson doesn’t know that.

“… … Although important. Nothing is more important than the health of the head of the household.”

Purple mana rose from my hand and carved letters into the air.

“I swear to Raphael, who gave me this right now. If it were me, I could restore the patriarch back to normal. I swear that there is no lie mixed with this fact.”

Jackson’s face instantly brightened. However, it soon returned to its original face.

“What do you want?”

He thought I couldn’t make this offer without asking for anything in return.

That’s the right decision.

“Leave Count Caligo with all the servants in the mansion. Of course, that includes the head of household.”

Jackson’s face crumpled.

“What nonsense is that… … .”

“That is one thing I am asking for. If you listen to this, I will make sure to restore the family head to the original state.”

I took out a flask containing a red potion from my bosom.

“Do you know what this is?”

Jackson carefully examined the flask I was holding.

“It is a top-notch potion.”

Then, he took out a herb that glowed bright green.

“This is Dmitry’s leaf. Besides… … .”

I showed all the things I had in my arms.

They were items that had a reputation for being hard to find together.

“How can these precious things… … .”

“What I have shown you so far is just the tip of the iceberg. I have many other types of things besides these. If it were me, I could improve the family lord’s condition. don’t you want to see? Not the Halton Caligo, who promised his end while lying in bed, but the Halton Caligo of the past, who swung his sword bravely while standing at the forefront of the battlefield with you?”

Jackson said with a complicated face.

“… Even so, I still don’t understand. Why are we trying to help our family head, and why we have to leave the county in the process. This is our home. We cannot afford to abandon a place steeped in the rich tradition and history of the Caligo family. As knights and as members of Count Caligo’s family, we have a duty to start and end here.”

“Are you saying you’re going to watch the death of the family head in order to fulfill that duty?”

“… … .”

I said with a sigh.

“Soon, a disaster that you will never be able to handle will come upon this mansion.”

“disaster… You mean?”

I nodded.

──At the same time, the air in the room began to vibrate violently, and a magic circle began to be engraved on the floor in the center.

“It is about time.”

Jackson, startled, exclaimed.

“What the hell are you up to!”

In an instant, the space twisted and a masked killer and a blind old man walked out.

“master. I brought a blind sage.”

“Good job. Roman.”

Upon discovering the old man, Jackson’s pupils gradually widened.

“You… … Could it be Radamus, the demon demon…? … ?”

Radamus’ gaze turned to Jackson. he said with a smile.

“Is this voice Jackson? It’s been a while. I never thought I would see you in a place like this.”

“How are you here… … .”

I approached Radamus and said hello.

“Thank you for listening to my request. old man.”

“Truck. what is thanks Wasn’t I the one who was able to save my life thanks to you? I am happy to be able to help you in this way.”

After briefly expressing my gratitude, I looked at Jackson.

“Since you seem to already know, the conversation will be easy. As you know, the old man over here is Radamus, who used to be called Dougou.”

“hahahaha. I am ashamed to hear that name after a long time.”

“Currently, he is nicknamed ‘The Blind Sage of the Western Woods’.”

Jackson shook his head in confusion.

“That, I mean, the blind sage of the western woods… I mean Radamus, a fighting madman… ?”

Radamus cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.

“Hmm. Big hum. The past is just the past.”

“That’s right. Dou Gui and the blind sage of the western forest are the same person.”

Jackson said with a shocked face.

“hahahaha… … . I won’t be able to sleep in my sane mind tonight. To think that the demon became a wise man… … . This is the first time I’ve ever heard such an absurd story in my life. So, why did he call you here?”

I wondered how it was in the past to have such a reaction, but I decided to put it away first.

“Inspired.”

When I called, Radamus nodded and said.

“Leaving aside the past, I’m sure you’ve heard rumors about the ‘Blind Sage of the West Forest’.”

“Yes.”

“As you know, I can see fragments of the future. And recently, I saw the coming calamity of Count Caligo.”

Jackson looked at Radamus with a serious face. However, he did not open his mouth.

“… … .”

“In the near future, a great disaster that you cannot handle will strike the count’s family. And everyone will die This is destiny. It is something that can never be denied.”

“… … Are you saying that what he said is really true?”

Radamus nodded.

“That’s right. Since I became blind, I have been able to see things others cannot see. Things like soul, magic, and death. Why should I be called the best astrologer?”

By what he did and said, he was more like a swindler than a top astrologer.

“… … Then, if I leave this mansion as the author said, can the worst outcome be avoided?”

“I don’t know.”

“what?”

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s something I don’t know. As I said just now, I am not looking at the entire future. It’s just a fragment of the future that will happen, a very small part. It’s not like I can see the future I want, it’s just something that comes to my mind all of a sudden. So I don’t know how the story will go after that. But one thing is certain.”

“What is it?”

“That man has a history of changing the future I saw.”

“… … Did you change the future?”

“Until now, the future I saw was never wrong. To me, this f*cking power is literally a curse. It made me think that they were forcibly shown the things they didn’t want to see, and that they were brought down to enjoy watching them struggle to survive. Actually, it’s like I said, so you’re probably right. But he’s different. It was the first time. The person who changed the future I saw.”

Jackson’s eyes trembled sharply.

“… Can I really trust him?”

Upon hearing that, Radamus smiled and said.

“If you don’t believe him, trust me, who once risked his life on the same battlefield.”

“… … Then you won’t believe me any more?”

“huh?”

Jackson laughed. Then he said with a gloomy face.

“It’s a joke. As long as you say this, I can trust you. It seems we have no other options anyway.”

“If you follow my words, the future will surely change.”

After making a decision, Jackson said with a stern face.

“I will do that. So what am I going to do from now on?”

“The butler, you can take all the servants and the head of the house right now and move to Count Harman’s house with the old man who is here.”

“… … The Harman family?”

At first, one of the places I thought of as a place to move them to was the 72nd Church.

If it was the headquarters of a church far away from the Empire, it would be suitable for hiding.

But he soon changed his mind. They don’t know that I am a dark magician.

Even if he was vaguely evasive and brought him to the church, he did not know how it would change if he witnessed the church members using black magic there.

His face was full of questions, but he didn’t ask questions directly.

“yes. When they arrive, they will explain it to you.”

Then, he handed over 5 space transfer scrolls that were in his chest.

There were not many people in this world who could handle spatial magic. Among them, there is even less that can handle space transfer magic.

That’s why space transfer scrolls were quite expensive. Without the help of the 72nd Order and the Harman family, even I could not easily obtain it.

“… … I see.”

“then. old man i look forward to. See you later.”

“okay. don’t worry Oh, come to think of it, I used mine in a hurry for the space transfer scroll coming here, but is it possible to charge for it?”

I couldn’t help but laugh at Radamus’ smirking words. He also looked at me and smiled.

“I am a sage, so can I reveal the money?”

“Don’t you know too? That I have family members. This is the heart of parents who care for their children. Let him learn too.”

“Let me keep that in mind. I will pay for the scroll value you mentioned. Also, if this case ends well, we will pay the corresponding compensation.”

“Oh oh! Also you. The barrel is big. then don’t die I want you to realize that the future I see is not absolute.”

“Sure.”

After the conversation, I headed straight to Count Caligo’s cellar.
