48 – Ashur Library Tour

There was one thing I felt while climbing Harin’s fountain-like water magic.

Climbing up using wind magic and climbing up using water magic are very different even though they look similar…

“Ugh…”

My whole body is soaked in water. As I approached where the teacher was, everyone was looking at me with shocked expressions. In particular, the expression of Lee Mi-sook, who had been ignored until now, was worth seeing.

“Why is that? Is it because it’s as easy as a theory test?”

“…”

The manager touched her beard and wrote something on the evaluation form with a satisfied face. And Bo-ram said that he had made a bonfire and told him to light it.

“It must have been burdensome because it was the last class president, but he did a great job. Dry your clothes and go in.”

“Thank you.”

Sohee and Harin also came up to me and wrapped a towel around their bodies saying that they had suffered.

“How was it? Did you enjoy going up on the water?”

“It was fun, but not something I would want to do twice.”

“Why! I really want to try it. I’ll go to the practice range later and try it alone.”

If you’re going to do it, I hope you pack extra clothes in advance. On the other hand, So-hee began listing a series of courses as if she were reviewing her witch-beast practice. Along with my compliments.

“As expected, he’s the class president. He’s boldly aiming for the head, and even the ice magic he just used… Now he seems to have better ice magic skills than me.”

“Whoops. No. You’re good at using intermediate magic, Ice Wave, too. In terms of range, it’s probably wider than me, right?”

“It can’t be.”

In a warm atmosphere where each other complimented each other, suddenly the security guards and wizards walked up to me.

“Kim Yi-do, the wizard of twin swords, ranked 222nd in the school rankings.”

“?”

What is it? Suddenly. Did you come to pick up a fight? While bewildered, she handed me a business card.

[Coral Guild submaster Jeong Se-hwa.]

[010 – Xxxx – xxxx]

“He’s quite a potential student. But still, the sword isn’t great. If you decide to abandon the sword and use the staff, contact me.”

What are you talking about?

I returned the business card I just received.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will happen.”

Maybe he liked my reaction like this, he laughed very loudly.

“Ha ha ha! I like this little guy. To the extent that he refuses even the Scout to protect his sword.”

“Wow… Class president is cool. I declined the 30th guild offer.”

Well. I don’t think he sincerely offered to scout in the first place.

“Let’s go. My clothes are all dry.”

After our class, the practice of class C continued. The leader was Song Da-eun’s group. I don’t know about the other kids, but I should take a good look at Song Da-eun’s group, right? Because it’s the 2nd place in the whole school.

I defeated the octopus beast with a black tornado, a magic that swirls like darkness. Song Da-eun’s credit was so great that the other two people could have actually played.

“Song Da-eun does magic too.”

“That’s right. My opponent was Yoo-eun Choi, so I couldn’t even use it and lost…”

Raven seems to be going well. You’ve probably reached your limit by now. We should get magic science information quickly.

At the perfect timing, a group text message from the head of the Magic Research Department arrived while I was lost in thought. A few days later, it was a message saying that he was going to visit Ashur, a large library managed by the Thunderstorm Guild.

And this text message arrived only to me as an individual text message.

-I couldn’t borrow magic science books, so I decided to take a tour, right?

-That’s great.

, He replied. But it is. Even if it’s a book with information, what will it contain? Everyone failed, but is there any important information?

I don’t expect much, but there’s no other way. I have no choice but to go.

One thing that bothers me is the library mine raid.

It’s literally a demon attacking the library, but the original location wasn’t Ashur’s library, it was another guild’s library… But the timing was just right. She put her phone back into her pocket with a soft feeling.

***

At the same time, Delaon Academy Central Library.

Seohyun and Chaewon were talking about field trips.

“Out of a total of 32 people, 12 attended, 9 did not attend, and 11 did not respond.”

“Ah. That’s right, I went to the 1st grade ABC class to practice artificial witchcraft… Those who didn’t respond, I told them to reply by tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

-That’s great.

Seohyun laughed at the text message from Kim Yi-do, who had just arrived. There is no way Chaewon would miss this. He asked with strange eyes.

“Are the two of you like that?”

“It can’t be. My reasoning isn’t logical.”

Chaewon replied with her snort at her words.

“I don’t want to hear that from you.”

While speaking, Seohyun brought up the story that Kim Yi-do is strange these days. Chaewon’s reply was this.

“And why?”

“His attribute is ice. But lately, he’s been reading a lot of wind magic books…”

“Can’t you read it out of curiosity?”

Seohyun showed the mystery book she had been reading until now and added these words.

“Incidents always start with minor changes.”

“What do you mean? Ah! I see. You mean you have a girlfriend who is a wind mage?”

“…No. He just learned the second attribute like me.”

Chaewon shook her head with a puzzled expression. Honestly, based on the probability, it would have been much higher for her to have a wind mage girlfriend. These days, I’m tired of refuting anything, so I just answer like this.

“Shall we bet again? Whoever loses buys food! We’ll go to the restaurant like last time.”

“Okay. I’m confident this time.”

As the break time was over and they were going back to class, a male student from the same grade came to visit them. His body trembled as if he was frightened of something.

“Ah, hello… Manager, Vice President?”

It was Lee Byung-chan, a third-year male student in the same club.

“Are you here to ask about the field trip?”

“Ah… No. That’s not it.”

As if there were no other people around, he looked around and opened his mouth.

“You all know I’m Kim I-do…? 1St year. A sword-wielding kid.”

“Yes.”

“That bastard! No matter how you look at it, he looks like a demon.”

Both of them couldn’t contain their surprised expressions at the sudden claim. First of all, I’m sure he said that because he knew something, so I asked him what the reason was.

“What are you talking about! That, the knife he’s holding! Neme No, it’s pitch-black, no matter who sees it, it looks like it’s being used by a demon.”

“Ah~ If you say it’s pitch black, are all dark wizards demons?”

“Chaewon is right. Calling Mine simply for that reason is a bit…”

Since the matter is the matter, in this case, no action should be taken without solid evidence. And seeing that Lee Byung-chan, who was saying this, wasn’t a student with very clean rumors, Seohyun became even more suspicious.

“Ah, no. There’s something like that, and something, something, it seems like they’re hiding something.”

When the two of them didn’t respond, he got annoyed and left.

“Miss Ha…Why doesn’t anyone believe me?”

Chaewon called to Seohyun as she watched him walk away.

“What do you think?”

He said this with a rather serious expression.

“It’s a nonsensical claim to be a demon just because the sword is black, but it seems to be hiding something… I agree with that claim. But I don’t think it’s a demon.”

“As expected. You think the same as me.”

Seohyun fell into trouble for a while. What if Lee Byung-chan, whom Kim Yi-do said was a demon, was a demon?

“Do you want me to eliminate Kim Yi-do with my own power? If that’s the case, you’re right.”

“Oh, no. He speaks so easily. What is the reason that Lee Byung-chan is a demon?”

Of course, even though there are bad rumors going around, it’s too speculative to call it a demon.

“Intuition.”

“…Are you the one who said that reasoning is not logical?”

Seohyun didn’t listen to Chaewon, and she fell into her own thoughts.

***

Somewhere beneath Delaon Academy, the home of Mine students. Because of Lee Byung-chan’s out of nowhere behavior, the leader was spatting double swear words.

“What kind of devils are you saying you’re going to use the power of a demon to deal with the 222nd?”

“Why~ As that idiot said, his sword could be the curse of Nemesis.”

The black sword is Nemesis…

This is what I heard from Lee Byung-chan to the point of giving me a headache. I’ve heard that it’s advantageous to become a demon if you have a certain amount of mental illness, but I wonder if this is too much.

“Ha… This isn’t the time to joke. Should I kill him before he pranks me?”

But I gave up on that early on. A fight between the devil and the devil. It was because it was clear that there was nothing to gain from each other. Around that time, the female student raised her hand and said.

“Why don’t you help him out now?”

“What bullsh*t.”

As if he didn’t have the strength to respond, he told the leader who was getting annoyed about his strategy.

“Listen carefully. The Magic Research Department went on a tour of the Ashur Library this Friday. Just as the Thunderstorm Guild Mine butler died, there are many demons in the Thunderstorm Guild…”

“In short, join them and cause terror?”

“Right.”

The leader thought it was a pretty interesting proposal, but there was one snag.

“Lee Byung-chan’s mana is strong, but to use it as a head, the problem is that his intelligence is so stupid…”

At that time, she said another girl who was listening quietly said in a low tone.

“Senior, can I go?”

“Is that so? If it’s you, I’m relieved.”

“Instead of… Whoops.”

She began to laugh sinisterly.

“Director of the Magic Research Department. Please give me permission to deal with Seohyun Lee.”

***

A few days later, Wednesday.

After school club members are heading to the Thunderstorm Guild and Ashur Library by bus. However…

“Ha…”

Are 3rd year Lee Byung-chan and 2nd year Lee Yu-mi riding together?

The library where the incident occurred in the original novel is not here, but I couldn’t shake off the small feeling.

It was then.

A notification window that only I can see has arrived.

[A hidden quest has appeared !!!]

[Destroy all demons terrorizing the library]

[Reward: A journal containing clues about magic science.]

[Warning! Unlike the original work, the incident takes place in the Ashur library, and the scale is much larger when the demons of the academy and other demons join forces. Be careful.]

It looked like this.

But isn’t that a journal containing clues about magic science, that wasn’t even in the original work? They even make things that don’t exist anymore.
