The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

41 – Oh, that’s it (1)

“Then… You should become my graduate student.”

Ern made a suggestion that was too much for her to think about. First of all, the purpose was to just stab Eve.

Oh my god, I’m a graduate student!

Graduate students were used as a subject for jokes in the game.

But when Ern became possessed and faced them directly, she didn’t even smile.

-… Postgraduate student?

-It’s green…. You shouldn’t do this….

-I’m a professor?

-Evil!! I committed a mortal sin!!!

The sight of their devastation was very impressive.

“I understand.”

But there was no hesitation in Eve’s answer. Ern looked at Eve’s determined eyes.

‘Wow, he’s serious….’

It wasn’t a lie that she would do anything.

“…No, I became a graduate student.”

Having graduate students required research projects. However, Ern is just now memorizing the rune words.

“…?”

“Do you want to be my assistant for now?”

For Erne, it was important to establish as many contact points as possible with the people she needed.

It was very easy to lure Lia into being his assistant, but in the case of Eve, it was the opposite.

Students applied for assistant positions when they had a passion for magic or when they were short of money.

‘He is nothing.’

It goes without saying that Eisenbern was in a good financial situation.

And Eve’s diligent study of magic was ultimately for the sake of her family.

Even in the original work, Eve returned to the North without targeting the Magic Tower or the Academy.

“Yes. If the professor doesn’t mind with that…”

“Okay. And I’m going to run a club later, so join it.”

“You mean the club?”

“Yes. It’s a club that doesn’t exist yet, but if we create it in the future, I hope people will join and work hard.”

“I understand.”

“Okay. I’ll tell you later when everything is ready.”

Eve hesitated for a moment and then said.

“Professor. If there is anything I can help you with at any time, please let me know.”

“I understand.”

No matter how much I thought about it, the conditions Ern just presented were nothing.

‘Just doing club activities with my assistant… ?’

The difficulty of the assistant’s work was low, and it was good to do at least one club activity anyway.

She had asked for something so small compared to the karma she had to repay.

‘As expected, we will wait and see….’

Eve interpreted this to mean that Erne would make up her mind based on her own actions in the future.

‘The assistant activity also had that meaning.’

If she had been, she would not have shown interest in the assistant position. She didn’t need to.

‘But even though the professor knew my background, he told me to become an assistant….’

In other words, it meant watching the work being done.

‘Okay. ‘Because a verbal apology is meaningless.’

In that case, it would have been right to act with a sincere attitude from now on.

“What should an assistant do?”

“Wait a minute, it will come soon…”

When Ern turned her head towards the entrance to her sparring hall, Eve also looked there.

It was Lia who appeared on time.

She opened her door, stuck her head out, and said hello.

“Professor, I’m here!”

“Okay. Welcome.”

“Huh?! It’s Eve!”

Leah approached, waving her hands above her head.

“Nice to meet you! See you again?”

Eve waved her hand under her chest and smiled awkwardly as she accepted Leah’s greeting.

It wasn’t that Lia was uncomfortable, but the situation was too bad for her to just welcome her.

“Do you guys know each other?”

“Yes! We became friends at the banquet.”

‘Still, you heard me?’

It seemed like they were socializing in their own way rather than just eating.

“That’s good. Eve is also my assistant from today.”

“…Why?”

Lia looked at Ern and Eve alternately with her questioning gaze.

‘You won’t be short of money, right?’

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for the Princess of Eisenbern to do something like this.

-Would you like to go to the banquet hall together? Thank you! Oh, I’m Leah.

-I am Eve Eisenbern.

-Eisenbern?!?!

She was Leah, who was surprised to hear Eve’s last name while walking together to the banquet hall.

Meanwhile, Eve looked at Ern with her shaking eyes.

To be honest, of course it was not possible. However, Eve’s arbitrarily making excuses could have been an act of ignoring Ern.

“Uh…”

Ern recognized the SOS signal sent by Eve.

“Lia. Students don’t necessarily become assistants for money.”

“…Really?”

Lia looked as if her common sense had been denied.

‘Is this main character okay…? ?’

For a moment, Ern was worried about the safety of her world. But she continued, thinking that it would be enough to guide her in the right direction.

“…If you are interested in a professor’s classes or research, you often apply.”

“Aha.”

“Eve said, um… She was interested in my class.”

Eve nodded her head in response to his words. Still, out of consideration for her reputation, he added reasonable settings in his own way.

“I see… I see…”

This time, it was Lia who showed shaking eyes.

‘What on earth are you interested in?’

Earlier, I saw Class E students returning to the dormitory in the hallway. And as expected, everyone looked exhausted.

‘Does Eve like this?’

Isn’t that just right…? I like thrilling things…

‘It could be so!’

But Lia decided to just be convinced. It was something she felt awkward about asking separately.

Besides, Eve was her princess, so I thought she would take care of everything.

“??”

Meanwhile, Eve was in confusion.

Lia made a strange expression when she looked at herself, but then she smiled and nodded her head slightly, but I couldn’t guess why.

“Anyway, the job remains the same, so Lia, teach Eve well.”

“Yes!”

She asked as Leah lifted her box.

“But how many things are broken? Are they all broken?”

“Yes.”

“As expected….”

Lia looked at the floor of the sparring hall.

‘It’s clean…’ .’

She was in such a clean state that it was hard to believe she had just taught a class.

“Let’s go out quickly. Eve follows Lia.”

“I understand.”

Ern thought as he watched the two students chattering away from each other.

‘Still, I’m glad you have a bright personality.’

She was a lively and friendly Lia.

Actually, before meeting Lia, Ern was a little worried about her.

This is because the main character may have had a gloomy and negative personality due to an unfavorable family environment.

‘Just a little money… No, it reveals a lot. Anyway, that’s something I can solve.’

It was very reassuring to have the Sensia School at my back.

‘If you think about it, the profits of the Magic Tower are increasing because of me, right?’

Teaching materials should always be readily available.

But Ern was destroying the sparring protection devices as quickly as possible.

Of course, the academy had to supplement the quantity.

‘This won’t be a problem later, right?’

It was incredible. Because I just studied hard in class.

***

‘There you are.’

Ern picked up the blank paper lying in the corner of the rooftop.

[Black magic medium]

[This is a paper with a faint energy of black magic engraved on it. It is difficult to detect unless you are an experienced warlock. The effect is only visible to those in despair.]

‘You work hard.’

Ern put the medium into his inventory and walked away.

This was already the third time that the devil worship professor, Galen Rayvender, had found a hidden medium.

There was a pattern to Galen hiding the medium.

Abandoned warehouse, bench in maze garden, rooftop of building.

Students sometimes go there to take a breather, but on the other hand, professors don’t pay any attention to these places.

Galen’s goal in the first place was to corrupt the students, so it could be said to be an appropriate decision.

But Ern is someone who has graduated from Kagon Academy dozens of times.

He was able to skillfully discover the pieces hidden by the devil worshiper.

‘I guess it’ll be okay for a while.’

The black magic medium was something that could not be created like a stamp.

It could only be completed after preparing an appropriate price and performing a ritual with the devil.

If Galen wanted to, he could increase the speed of creating the medium, but he had a lot to hold on to.

He had to teach classes, handle teaching duties, and do research.

He was not just an unemployed devil worshiper who could only focus on black magic.

‘Still, I have to keep observing her.’

In the original work, the number of students who fell for the devil’s tricks was fixed.

It was Benjamin from class B.

Perhaps because it was still early in the semester, I couldn’t find anything unusual about Benjamin.

But just in case, Ern gave him ‘special treatment’.

It was a slight convenience when firing a magic missile in practice class.

They cleverly slowed down the attack or deliberately fired it to make it easier to avoid.

Of course, neither Benjamin himself nor the students in Class B noticed that fact.

Thanks to this, Benjamin’s evasion rate was relatively high.

As he walked, Ern arrived in front of his lab.

To be honest, he had nothing to do here, but he still told the story about once a day.

It was to check the mailbox.

‘Today… ‘Something is here?’

Generally, professors were absent because they were teaching classes or visiting academic conferences.

So, if there was news to deliver, a letter would arrive in the lab mailbox.

Ern took out her first letter and opened the envelope.

『To Professor Erne.

After today’s class, come to the president’s office.

Arbas Recto』

“……”

Ern broke into a cold sweat.
