The Duke’s Lazy Martial Arts Genius (29)

A Useful One (4)

An aura rose from Dean Lazio’s entire body like a haze. Dean Lazio, who had boldly broken down Professor Beatrice’s laboratory door, walked over without hesitation and pushed Professor Beatrice’s hand away.

“Dean?”

Benio suddenly looked dumbfounded as if he didn’t understand why he was here. Professor Beatrice and Coco felt the same.

This is because the opponent was not just any ordinary professor, but the dean of the swordsmanship department, Lazio Frederick.

No matter how bad the relationship between magicians and knights was, the reputation of Lazio, the head of the swordsmanship department, was incomparable to that of a mere professor.

But that was only for a moment, as Professor Beatrice realized that her territory had been invaded and anger appeared on her face.

“What are you doing now, Dean Lazio!”

“What are you doing? What are you doing to my student, Professor!”

“Ugh!”

If that was the case, Beatrice had nothing more to say. After all, it was right to ask Benio, who had become the disciple of the Dean of Lazio, if he wanted to learn magic.

However, that does not mean that it was problematic for even the Dean of the Faculty to invade the wizard’s space, where privacy should be protected, like this.

“Destroying a wizard’s laboratory is a different matter!”

To a wizard, a study room is like a knight’s family’s arcane swordsmanship. For others to see that space means for others to watch a knight practicing arcane swordsmanship.

Then, on the contrary, the dean of the Lazio faculty was left speechless.

“Then, shouldn’t you have not taken my disciple in the first place?”

“Are you saying that now? The one who came to me to learn magic is the Dean’s disciple! I didn’t bring him here!”

“Magic?”

The Dean of Lazio looked at Benio. Benio flinched as he suddenly found himself under the gaze of the Dean and the professor.

“Is that true? Magic? Why would you, a knight!? You wouldn’t say you didn’t know that the magic of weak wizards makes knights sick!”

The Dean of Lazio was also a knight after all, because his words naturally contained contempt for magicians.

The problem was that there was a wizard here who was listening to it.

“The magic power of a weak wizard! Isn’t it possible that the aurors of such ignorant knights could easily turn the knights themselves into crippled people? And you’re forcing that child to learn such dangerous things!”

The reason why a wizard’s magical power is weak is because, no matter what a wizard does, if he doesn’t have magical power, he’s just like a normal person.

On the other hand, since knights must also undergo physical training, knights who reached a certain level without magical power were strong.

On the other hand, the wizards pointed their fingers at the knights for mishandling their auras, causing them to go berserk and become ruined, and said that they were ignorant knights.

“And Benio is a genius who can use magic with Auror!”

Beatrice stood up to Lazio with a bloodshot face, as she felt she could not back down after seeing Benio’s brilliant talent.

“Oh my! Professor Beatrice!”

“To put it bluntly, what has the Kenjutsu School done for Benio? Isn’t it, Benio?”

Benio made a troubled expression. Whose side should I take? After seeing the magic, Benio had no intention of letting go of his sword, magic, or anything else.

“The eyes of the swordsmanship professors who have not seen such a talented child properly until now are like a wormhole. I cannot send Benio, who will become a great great wizard, to a place like that!”

“Oh, you punk? Professor Beatrice! Are you insulting the swordsmanship department right now?”

The Lazio Dean’s face began to turn red. He was the Lazio Dean who had reached the pinnacle of auror expert. Then, sympathizing with his emotions, auror began to spurt out.

“If I said something wrong, try to refute it! Are you saying this because you can’t?”

Beatrice also didn’t give up and raised her magical power. As magical power and aura clashed, sparks flew out and the inside of the laboratory began to make a noise as if it was going to collapse.

‘Are these people in their right mind?’

Benio took a step back in shock. But there was so much in the lab that there was no room to step back.

In a place where there are only 3 circles and students who have just begun to develop their auras, there is a headmaster and professor who radiate magic and auras.

Coco’s face turned pale. The aftereffects of the two strong men’s battle of wits had reached her. Benio blocked Coco’s path and raised his Guyangshinkong.

“Ha, haa….”

“Professor Beatrice, is that how you usually are?”

“You are a bit impatient. You are being a bit too much today. Thank you, Cadet Benio.”

“It’s too early to say thank you.”

Benio made a grunting sound.

Kookookookook!

A magic book fell from Professor Beatrice’s bookshelf that reached all the way to the ceiling. The war of nerves between the two was clearly dominated by Dean Lazio, but the aftermath caused the entire laboratory to begin to shake.

‘Is the Dean of Lazio at his peak, and Professor Beatrice at her peak?’

Even if you searched through the entire martial arts world, there were no more than a hundred top-tier masters, and even the best masters could only be found in the big schools.

If you think about it, the two are great experts from Benio and Coco’s perspective.

‘Is that how you use your magic power?’

Benio watched the pressure they endured and the aura and magical powers of the Dean of the Lazio Faculty and Professor Beatrice.

It felt quite strange.

Being able to see the aura and magical paths that sway within other people’s bodies meant that one could imitate their aura and magical power.

‘Just as each sect had its own secret method, the use of magic and aura here also changes depending on the school and family. It must be closed.’

If there were factions, sects, and families in the martial arts world, then here there were schools and families. And the fact that they developed their own schools and families’ studies in a closed manner was no different in the Central Plains or here.

‘I can follow along.’

Benio was praised by Musin as a child with unparalleled talent. Benio understood the characteristics of the aura and magical powers of the Dean of Lazio and Professor Beatrice.

I thought I could probably do it if I had enough of Guyangshinkong’s power.

‘This must be a secret that must never be revealed.’

Can you steal someone else’s secret just by looking at them?

If that were to become known, Benio would be found dead the very next day by those who wanted to keep his secret.

So, this must be hidden at all costs. Benio thought about it in his head. But then, Benio’s stomach twisted greatly.

‘Ugh?’

Although he was able to withstand the two masters’ energies with the power of the Guyangshinkong, it seemed that it had reached its limit. This was because the size of the energies was growing larger and larger, as if they were really going to fight each other.

At first, they were trying to force each other to back down by showing off their momentum, but as the standoff continued, it turned into a battle of pride.

‘Oh my god, I’m dying.’

I felt like I was going to get hurt. It wasn’t even a clash of swords, just a wave of energy. I still had a long way to go.

“Apologize! It is unacceptable to covet another’s disciple!”

“Apologize for destroying my lab! Even the Dean can’t set a bad precedent!”

Both were saying only what they wanted to say. And both were saying only what could be interpreted in their favor.

Kookookookook!

Professor Beatrice’s face was covered in sweat. On the other hand, there was hardly any sweat on the forehead of the Dean of Lazio.

That alone clearly showed who had the upper hand, but Professor Beatrice had a strong temper and absolutely refused to give in.

The moment when you really feel like something big is going to happen.

“Stop it. What kind of disgrace is this?”

Swish.

The wave of energy that had been weighing down on Benio disappeared as if it had been washed away. When Benio raised his head in surprise, he saw someone floating outside the broken window of the laboratory.

‘Poetry, fresh?’

An old man with a gray beard that reached down to his belly, and whose only visible features were his pitch-black eyes, wearing a pointed hat and a robe, came in after pushing the broken window out of its frame.

“Hey, tsk tsk tsk. You did a pretty loud job.”

“Yes, Dean Rambledoor.”

Beatrice’s voice trembled. The one who had calmed the fight between Lazio and Beatrice with a single gesture, Rambledore, the head of the Faculty of Magic, had appeared.

“Dean Lazio. Professor Beatrice is the youngest among the faculty members of the Faculty of Magic, but she is a skilled wizard. Stop teasing me.”

Whoosh!

Professor Beatrice looked at the Dean of Lazio. Her expression seemed to ask if that was true. The Dean of Lazio crossed his arms with a sour expression.

“I know that too. But since he’s a professor, I was worried that if he got hurt, it would interfere with his ability to teach the students, so I adjusted accordingly. He’s not completely incompetent. So I guess he recognized my student’s potential.”

Beatrice looked surprised that the Dean of Lazio was being considerate to her, because she was still being pushed around.

“Okay, I was wondering when you would come out.”

There, the Dean of Lazio reacted as if he had been waiting for the Dean of Rambledore to appear.

“Dean, I….”

Beatrice was a person with a strong will to do her own way, to the point that she was called the madwoman of red flames, but she was powerless in front of the one person in the Faculty of Magic, Rambledore, the head of the department.

Rambledoor verum.

This is because he was the head of the Faculty of Magic, a 7th Circle Wizard from the Verum Duke family, one of the three major ducal families that supported the empire and also known as the reclusive Verum because he rarely engaged in external activities.

To wizards, the name Verum is like an absolute god.

Carol Verum, a descendant of the Eight Warriors and the founder of the Verum Duke House, also known as the Hyeryong House, is also called the first wizard and is a legendary figure who laid the foundations of magic.

Therefore, it was natural that wizards had awe before the name Verum.

“I heard it all on my way here. It’s because of that cadet.”

Benio’s expression changed as the Dean of Rambledore, who looked like a deity, approached him. He thought he was a deity, but it was clear from the way he spoke that he was not a deity.

‘It’s like the ocean.’

The magical power felt from Dean Rambledore was as vast as the ocean. Even in the same realm, it was said that a wizard’s magical power was greater than a knight’s aura, and it was true.

Because the Lazio Dean’s aura wasn’t so much like the ocean.

‘Mountains and sea.’

In Benio’s mind, the concept of knights and wizards was depicted as mountains and seas. Lazio’s aura was solid and high, while Rambledore’s magic was soft and wide-spread.

“Professor Beatrice.”

“Yes, Dean.”

“This cadet used magic with Auror?”

“yes.”

Rambledore looked at Lazio. It seemed to mean that he knew. The Lazio Dean shook his head.

‘It’s magic with Aura.’

Aura and magic are similar, but they are opposite energies. That is why magic and aura cannot be replaced. However, Benio in front of you means that it can be done.

‘If that’s true, it would be enough to make the young professor roll his eyes.’

Lazio was also captivated by Benio’s talent and stood in front of the training center for three days waiting for Benio to come out. So, even the young professor has eyes, so it is not a crime to fall for Benio.

It is a sin only to target one’s own disciple.

“If it’s not too much trouble, please show me.”

Rambledore spoke to Benio softly, but in a way that made it impossible for the listener to refuse. Benio’s eyes lit up, even as he thought that things had gotten bigger than he had thought.

‘If possible, it would be better if he were the dean of the department.’

There is probably more to be learned from Beatrice than from Coco, and more to be learned from Dean Rambledore than from Beatrice.

Hurrruk!

As Benio moved the power of the Guyangshinkong according to the flow of magical power he remembered, flames rose from Benio’s hand.

“Whoa!”

“Huh!”

Rambledore looked curious, while Lazio looked surprised. The former was curious about the magic displayed by Aura, while Lazio was reminded of a knight using magic.

“Dean of Lazio.”

And Rambledore turned his head and called out to Lazio. Lazio frowned as soon as he heard that sound.

“No.”

“I will make a formal suggestion to the president.”

“Dean Rambledoor!”

They say that children’s fights become adult fights. Benio smiled brightly at the sight of them bickering and teaching each other without him having to step in.

Because it seemed as if he could hear the sound of his own value rising.

And then Benio suddenly intervened between the two deans who were childishly arguing.

“Then wouldn’t it be solved if both of you became my teachers?”
