Surviving as an Academy Black Magician - Surviving as an Academy Black Magician chapter 96

“Why are you not talking? Are you too shocked to say anything? What’s strange that I, a demon, want to exterminate humans?”

I looked at her with a shocked face.

“Human… everything… ?”

“okay. Wouldn’t it be helpful for this continent and its creatures to serve a trashy god and exterminate all the bugs that only do trashy things?”

“… … that’s the case.”

When I shut my mouth with a serious face, she said with a smile.

“Are you kidding? joke. What are you taking seriously?”

Really, is it a joke?

I knew very well that what she had just said was more sincere than anything she had ever said.

“It was entirely my father’s decision that I came here. Humans have been invading demons for hundreds of years, saying that they are heroes, right? Those warriors are born without end as if they were mass-produced anywhere, so it’s a headache for us demons. So what I came up with… .”

“Are you figuring out the enemy first?”

“okay. yes. Who said that if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win 100 battles 100 wins? It’s not like we’ve been playing all this time. I’ve been planting spies for the Empire for quite some time now. But how can the human race place so much importance on honor and bloodline? Without a proper status or history, you can’t go to the middle of the empire, let alone the head of the empire. The higher you go up, the closer everything becomes to this place, ‘Salomon Academy’. That’s why I came. To be able to directly see and judge the enemy from the deepest depths. There’s no one more suitable than me, right?”

For that matter, it felt like she was going too far… .

“what. This is justification anyway. Personally, I wanted to come here once. I wonder what kind of academy the person who abandoned me went to.”

… no way. Was her mother from the academy?

“Did your mother go to the academy by any chance?”

“They said so… . My father wouldn’t even bother to talk about that woman. I don’t know how much is true and how much is false. by the way. Do you seriously intend to work under me?”

“… Am I under Aria-sama?”

“uh. I thought you were pretty useful. The same goes for the actions you’ve shown in the academy so far. Aren’t you half human and half like me? Even if the goals you and I avoid are different, I think the process to get there is pretty similar. how is it?”

“… … If it’s an order from the next king of the demons, I’ll follow it, but if it’s a personal suggestion, can I give it some thought?”

“good. You are free to worry. I have no intention of forcing someone I don’t like. But if you become my enemy, then the story will be different.”

“yes. I understood that part well.”

“okay. You will understand. Half-human, half-horse, and it seems that the blood of the demon tribe is not inherited, so from now on, if I set my mind to it, I can live as a human, right? Think carefully. What do you think will be more helpful to you?

After leaving my last words, I let go of my hand and walked to the place where we were.

All eyes were on me at once.

At first I didn’t understand why he was looking at me, but I soon figured it out.

It was because the way she let go of my hand and walked away first was misleading in the eyes of others.

When I returned to my seat, Charlotte looked at me with a face itching to make fun of.

“what. why.”

she said with a devilish grin.

“Poop. As you can see, it was a car, it was a car. right? Were you just dumped?”

“What’s the difference? I was just talking.”

“okay. This can be happen. I understand everything. I understand. Originally at this age, it’s all like that. you know, you know.”

I wanted to slap Charlotte’s forehead as she nodded with an understanding look on her face, but I gritted my teeth and endured it.

“Whoa… . I can’t really give it away… .”

“what? What did you just say?”

“what. I didn’t say anything.”

Then, Frey sneaked up to me. And then he stared blankly at me.

I wished she had talked to me, but she just stared at me without saying anything.

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and opened my mouth first.

“Frey… … ?”

She looked at me without answering.

By this point, I was slowly getting goosebumps. Because her empty eyes made her think ominous thoughts.

“Hmm. Frey… ?”

She finally opened her mouth.

“What are you two talking about… No, why did Miss Arya Valentine ask Geile to dance? Were you two really close?”

“ah… … It was just an occasional talk. The reason she asked me to dance was because she had something else to say.”

“What are you talking about? What is it?”

It was a tone that somehow felt like it had to be said, but it wasn’t something that could be said honestly.

“… We just chatted for a while about martial arts.”

“Martial arts? Why are you asking Zeil about martial arts? Wouldn’t it have been better to ask me about martial arts than Zeil?”

“I think it’s because I tend to be shy.”

“Why does a shy person even ask Zeil to dance? Are you hiding something from me, Zeil?”

I was speechless.

I was thinking about what to say for a while, but this time a female student from class B approached me.

In the background, her friends were cheering her on.

the girl told me

“excuse me… . You are Seil Sieghart right?”

I looked at her with a puzzled face.

“uh. That’s right, why?”

She opened her mouth slowly, hesitating like a pooped puppy.

“… My name is Maria Anas, a member of Class B.”

“uh. Nice to meet you.”

“If it’s okay over there… … Won’t you dance with me?”

no way… I thought I’d ask you to dance

It’s Aria Valentine. The purpose was to have a conversation, but I didn’t know that even a student in another class would ask me to dance.

‘Is this the original culture?’

As I was perplexed and thinking about it, the restless woman cautiously asked.

“ah… After all, with someone like me… You don’t want to dance… … ?”

“Oh, no, not like that. I’m a little embarrassed. May I ask why you asked me to dance?”

“that is… Somehow, I’ve been watching since the entrance exam… Very dignified, and also cool… That’s right… .”

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and covered her face.

Frey, who was watching the whole scene from the side, said.

The mouth was smiling, but the eyes were not moving.

“Zile. The lady asked to dance first. Are you going to? Come on, get up and go dancing. right now.”

Hearing those words, Maria Anas slowly raised her head and looked at me.

Big eyes were shining, waiting for my answer to follow.

“That, yes. As long as you’re okay.”

“really? Really? thank you!”

Marie grabbed my hand with a very happy face and quickly dragged it away.

For some reason, I felt a stinging glance on the back of my head, but I didn’t dare to look back.

It seemed that Frey’s voice came from behind as Marie led her to the dance.

“… … It can’t go on like this.”

Unexpectedly, following Aria Valentine, she danced with a student from the next class.

Maybe because I learned to dance from Aria Valentine earlier, it wasn’t that difficult this time.

Maybe it’s because Aria can dance so well.

On the other hand, a female student named Marie seemed to be on the same level as me.

Maybe she was very nervous, stepping on my foot throughout the dance and saying, ‘I’m sorry. I’m really sorry!’, ‘Oh! Are you sick? sorry… .’ etc. without stopping.

At this level, it was enough to make me doubt that he had not called to dance, but to stomp on his feet.

Most of the songs that came out closer to the end of the festival were mostly calm ones.

After dancing with her for about 10 minutes, she thanked her for dancing with her.

“I must have been taken aback by such a sudden request, but thank you for accepting it so readily! And sorry for stepping on your feet! Absolutely not on purpose! Actually, I haven’t danced that much… .”

“This can be happen. It was my first time dancing too, so I made a lot of mistakes, but thanks to you, I finished it well.”

“excuse me. Then maybe next time… … .”

at that time.

I heard Bella Trey’s voice calling from far away.

“Seil Sieghart! Come over here.”

“sorry. the teacher is calling I guess I should go first. We’ll see you next time we see each other.”

“ah… . bye… !”

After saying hello to her, I approached Bella Trey, who was smoking a cigarette in a corner of the playground. As I approached, she said with a sullen face.

“uh. Are you here?”

“yes. What are you doing?”

“I’m looking forward to seeing old McDowell.”

“Are you talking about Dean McDowell? what brings you here… ”

Ah, could it be because of the disciple proposal I mentioned last time?

Has it already been two weeks since you said you were thinking about it? … .

“I don’t know. Go over there anyway.”

“yes.”

She pointed her hand at the lake behind the playground.

It is said that it is not a naturally formed lake, but that the academy created it artificially by accepting students’ suggestions that the interior is too stuffy.

It wasn’t that wide, but it was a favorite place for many students because there was a well-laid trail around the lake.

I went straight ahead. When I arrived at the park, a man standing in front of the lake caught my eye.

Unlike usual, he was staring at the dark lake with a considerably darker expression.

I approached him and asked cautiously.

“Dean McDowell. I heard you called me.”

McDowell, who spotted me, said with a kind smile.

“oh. okay. are you here I’m sorry for calling you out so suddenly.”

“no.”

“Shall we sit down?”

“yes.”

McDowell and I sat on a nearby bench.

‘Come to think of it, I had a limp then… … . Was there ever a black magician who could injure a knight like McDowell?’

I glanced at his legs, but the naked eye didn’t notice anything.

McDowell asked me if he had noticed my gaze. But somehow, unlike before, the tone was quite cold.

“Why? Did you get anything on my leg?”

“Oh, no… I just thought you hurt your leg the other day when I saw the dean… … .”

Hearing that, McDowell stared at me with emotionless eyes.

“I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.”
