The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

21 – Semester Preparation (3)

It was a concept where I wasn’t good at using magic, but I ended up casting it with ignorance.

“…Didn’t you say you’re not good at using magic?”

“……”

Lia looked at Ern with her suspicious eyes.

‘I feel like I know what you’re thinking.’

Although it hasn’t been long since I interacted with Lia, I was able to read on her face that she was thinking, ‘Are you trying to catch me off guard and collect more commission fees?’

“…Actually, I was calculating it slowly from a while ago.”

“….”

“You never know, right? A wizard always has to be on guard.”

“Hmm…”

Her doubtful expression still hasn’t resolved.

And the moment Ern was thinking about how to resolve this…

-Gruk….

Wild Hog opened his eyes. Ern sensed that this was an opportunity and quickly shouted.

“Oh! There’s a monster over there!”

“What?!”

“Catch it quickly! Magic! Magic!!”

“Uh huh!?”

At Ern’s urging, Lia, whose hair turned white, suddenly kicked Wild Hog’s head.

-Quack!

Wild Hog, who was hit on the head by a kick, fell down again.

[+6P]

‘No, you’re a wizard…’ .’

“Did you kill it?!”

Fortunately, the monster did not jump up after hearing the magic spell. The Wild Hog, which had been hit twice on the head, was subdued.

“…I’ll credit this guy to Lia.”

Ern was quiet as he spoke. She doubted whether she would be able to get away with what she had done earlier.

“Really?!”

A bright smile spread across Lia’s face. She smiled as if she had forgotten all her worries and anxieties. Of course, I also forgot about her Ern.

‘Is this happening?’

“I will handle the subjugation evidence!”

Leah took one of her daggers from her bosom and began cutting off one of Wild Hog’s ears. She was a skilled craftsman.

In the original work, when you hunt a monster, related items were automatically added to your inventory. But this was reality, not a game.

Leah placed her cut off ear in a pouch attached to her belt. There was no hesitation or discomfort in that series of actions.

‘… ‘You have to adapt.’

***

‘A good person!’

Lia felt good. It was because the party member she saved from the Adventurer’s Guild today was a much better person than she thought.

Quests that can be completed in a day, such as subjugating Wild Hog, often require forming a party on the spot.

After completing the work she was asked to do in the shopping district, Lia was looking for a short request.

She

She And she happened to have someone who seemed to be in the same situation as herself. She seemed nice, so I spoke to her first.

Leah was proud of her past self.

How could she think of bringing in such an understanding person!

Request It was a common occurrence to get into a fight and fight with party members in public.

Even in the same case as before, she was in a situation where she could argue, ‘I thought my magic played a bigger role than your kicks?’

If that were the case, she and Lia had no choice but to respond by saying, ‘Wasn’t it their fault for not finishing it properly?’ This is because calculating money is an important issue.

‘If you’re lucky today… A lizard skewer might be fine!’

“Wild hogs tend to flock together, so let’s take a look around here.”

“Good!”

‘I’m glad I was able to find a hog sooner than expected.’

Wild Hog was not a very aggressive monster. Basically, they are wary of humans and quickly get scared and run away.

It had sharp teeth, but they were mostly just decoration.

I thought that the thing that jumped out of the grass was probably someone who had been sleeping and was startled. The direction I ran towards in the first place was not towards them.

Ern and Lia silenced the sound of their footsteps and searched the area. I looked closely from tree to tree, trying to detect movement.

‘There it is.’

At the bottom of the slope, a wild hog was grunting and eating grass.

Ern silently tapped Lia. Then Lia was so surprised that she shook her shoulders.

“!!”

“Shh.”

As Ern looked at Hog, Lia also turned her gaze towards him.

“From now on, let’s both cast magic missiles. Let’s wait and fire at the same time.”

Ern whispered to her and Lia nodded her head.

She focused her mind as she looked at the monster.

‘… ‘Is this okay?’

Ern roughly extended her staff towards Wild Hog. And then she was stunned.

After a while, Leah finished her preparations and gave her signal.

“It’s okay.”

‘It’s subtle.’

It took approximately 5 seconds.

It wasn’t too slow, but it wasn’t fast enough to satisfy Ern.

“I’m done too.”

Two spells rushed towards Wild Hog. The one that reached first was Lia’s.

-Whoosh!

Lia’s magic was embedded in Hog’s body.

Meanwhile, Ern’s subsequent attack crashed into her and crumbled to the ground. This was because she intentionally flew late and missed.

-Kwaeeek!

The damage was insufficient. Wild Hog, hit by a magic missile, started limping away.

Lia did not panic and calmly cast her magic again. The second spell fired succeeded in suffocating the monster.

‘Umm…. Is it still enough for one person?’

Honestly, for a protagonist, he seemed unsatisfactory. Of course, since I was basing my judgment on gameplay, I was cautious about drawing any conclusions.

While Ern was reliving the scene from before and evaluating her, Lia was thinking to herself.

‘Mr. Ern…. ‘You’re really not good at using magic!’

The casting speed is slow, and it even missed a monster that was standing still… !

If things continued like this, she was going to kill all the monsters, so Lia was a little worried.

‘Should I give up my share of the distribution ratio…’ ?’

But she soon shook her head.

‘No…. Unfortunately, this is something that can’t be helped.’

A promise is a promise.

‘I can buy a lizard skewer tomorrow too!’

***

“Yes… I confirmed it. Your performance has been registered…”

“Is there a problem?”

“Oh, no. Here is the success reward….”

The receptionist gave me a coin with a puzzled expression.

‘… ‘Why?’

I couldn’t understand why a wizard like that would accept such a request for so little money.

‘Honor? That can’t be possible.’

Sometimes, there were people who treated the adventurer level as a kind of trophy. However, if you were greedy for the level, you would have chosen a quest with high difficulty from the beginning.

‘It’s not about greed for money.’

It’s just a few coins. And even that was shared with the party members.

Party member?

From No ble mt L dot c om

‘No way… !’

A thought suddenly popped into her mind.

From what I could tell, the two had not known each other from the beginning.

In the first place, he was the first wizard to register for a guild today. It meant that I had no intention of becoming an adventurer until I met that female party member.

‘Aha!’

Looking closely, the faces of the party members peeking out from under the hoods were quite pretty.

‘That’s what it was!’

Meanwhile, Lia was carefully counting the coins she had received from Ern, one by one.

“One… two… three…”

The distribution ratio was 8 to 2. Of course, Ern was 2.

Ern wasn’t just playing around. He tried all kinds of tricks to gauge Lia’s skills.

Destroy the monster’s path by exploding magic in front of you. Match your legs and suddenly slow down. Etc.

Then, sometimes, if I forgot something, I guessed it correctly and avoided raising unnecessary doubts.

[Quest completed]

[Reward: 150P]

It was a valuable time in its own way.

‘I guess I should try it at the academy.’

As for Lia, she was good at using magic. But considering what lies ahead, she still has a long way to go.

“Thank you for your hard work today!”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Leah, feeling good after counting all her coins, said goodbye. She meets on the spot, she breaks up on the spot. That was the beauty of a temporary party.

Leah, who was about to leave, hesitated for a moment when she saw the coin held in Ern’s hand, and then she said.

“That…”

“?”

Lia was troubled by the fact that Ern wasted her today. So she decided to offer her heartfelt support.

“Mr. Ern, since you are talented, I think you will just have to work hard!”

“……”

“Then I’ll leave! I’ll see you again when I get a chance!”

“…Yes. See you next time.”

‘I guess I’ll have to kill myself at the academy.’

It is inevitable to see a happy ending.

There were no personal feelings involved in this decision.

… Maybe?

***

Ern, who returned to the Sensia Magic Tower, was resting in his room for a while.

-Tiring

At that time, a sound suddenly came from the glass plate attached to the wall of Ern’s room, and letters began to form.

[Ern Tapjuㅅㅅㄹㅗㅗ]

“???”

‘… I guess this means you should come to the tower’s main room, right?

Ern first got on the elevator.

‘Is it a bug or are you drunk?’

Originally, it would have been something that should have been dismissed as ‘It must be an error in the Magic Tower system,’ but since the opponent was the opponent, it was not easy to judge.

Ern entered Rosera’s office, worried that she might encounter the drunk Magic Tower Lord again.

“Top owner?”

“Ern, are you here?”

Fortunately, Rosé was not drinking alcohol. She was holding a piece of paper with a serious face.

It was stationery with a border decorated with gorgeous golden patterns and decorations.

“Do you know what this is?”

“What is it?”

“It’s from the royal palace. His Majesty has called a meeting.”

“…!”

‘It’s finally opened.’
