Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

104 – Celebration (2)

A village on the borders of the Empire.

– Kyaaak.

The crows took flight with an ominous sound.

In the middle of the village, six people are sitting.

I couldn’t feel the slightest bit of vitality from those who wore robes.

They are called the seven deadly sins.

The heads of the warlocks have all gathered here.

“This regular meeting is too shabby. At this time, the false wizards would be filling their boats with gas.”

Jealousy said, revealing an inferiority complex.

“How much are you going to waste just having a little conversation? Enough work if you sit on the bare floor. Anything more than that is a waste.”

Stinginess narrowed his forehead and reprimanded.

“Still, where can we talk face-to-face like this? You usually talk with snakes or turtles, right? I have to say it now, but that is very unpleasant.”

He said it with a laugh that tickled lust.

“I heard you prepared a dinner, so I was looking forward to it. It tastes awful.”

Greed tasted it.

“How did the barrier go?”

Chiron, the only person wearing armor here, asked Greed.

Greed shook his head.

“So hard.”

“Heh, is the barrier made by a mere 12-year-old that hard?”

“Are you saying it’s completely impossible?”

Chiron simply ignored the words of lust.

“I need a detox.”

“Detox?”

“If you do a simple calculation, it will take 900 years.”

Lust scratched his head.

“Is this century bad?”

“No.”

Chiron denied it.

Black smoke seeped out from between the robes.

“This time, we must resurrect him.”

“Is it possible?”

“If you can’t go inside the barrier, just summon it. For example, like the celebration held this time.”

“hahahaha. That’s a funny joke. You can’t even break the academy barrier, so can you break the imperial barrier?”

“But without the Teutons, it will be much easier to work.”

“Did you kill them all in Winter?”

“It’s Windsor.”

“They are grateful.”

“Thank you?”

His body trembled with anger.

“Pride and sloth died because of that Windsor, thank you?”

“How is it, thanks… “

Lust smiled and looked at what he was sitting on.

That was a person. A dead body with empty pupils and open eyes.

“I have been able to prepare more thoroughly.”

“Thorough preparation?”

Anger said with a stern expression.

“Eating the vitality of the occasional minions, thorough preparation?”

“I didn’t mean that. Lets think. Didn’t you kindly let me know that sloth died? That there are people in this empire that you shouldn’t touch.”

“Irene Windsor.”

It was an expression of clear anger.

“No.”

Lust smiled brightly.

“This is Louis Christopher. Someone you shouldn’t touch.”

“A false wizard cannot defeat us.”

Jealousy revealed jealousy.

However, lust was affirmed.

“Well, no matter how strong a mage is, I don’t think he’ll lose if he’s in an unprepared space. That’s not what’s important. If you touch that kid, the whole of Windsor will come out.”

Greed intervened.

“It’s better not to look at Louis Christopher.”

“Isn’t it? So is greed Chiron. What do you think?”

“…… I am of the same opinion, as long as his resurrection does not interfere with Louis Christopher.”

There is no need to touch the beehive.

That was Chiron’s opinion.

“However, pride and sloth were the weakest. You don’t have to be passive. The only thing that bothers me is the barrier.”

“Eh. You may not know arrogance, but your indolence must be quite strong.”

“If he was strong, he wouldn’t have died in one blow.”

‘Sin of Indolence’ was extinguished in one blow by Irene Windsor.

That’s why Chiron thought that sloth wasn’t strong.

“Hmm, come to think of it, shouldn’t we hire a new person? It’s empty for two people. How are you, Chiron?”

“There is a candidate.”

“Oh! Sloth? Pride?”

“Reckless selection is the opposite.”

Stinginess was not to be desired.

“It is arrogance. I just called, so check it out for yourself.”

The moment Chiron finished speaking.

Kiki Geek, Kki Geek.

Someone approached with an uncomfortable sound.

It was an old man with skin and bones.

“You look weak.”

“I don’t think it will taste good.”

“I agree. If it’s him, I don’t think my position will be shaken.”

They spat one word at a time toward the old man. The only thing I was happy about was stinginess and jealousy.

The old man came up to them and smiled twistedly.

“Kuhhh. If you know what the small man brought, you won’t be treated like that.”

“What is it? What?”

“Before that, make sure. If this is to your liking, can I become arrogant?”

Lust spoke freely.

“Of course not.”

The old man spread his hands wide open as if unwrapping a package of presents.

In the meantime, a dense net was formed.

“The imperial barrier, a fragment. Among them, it is a fragment of the banquet hall that will be held this time. It’s a short time, but with this I can break the barrier.”

In the imperial family, powerful magic circles are overlapping.

Among them, the most difficult barrier was the ‘magic circle exclusively for warlocks’.

A powerful magic circle that does not even allow access to non-living people.

“This is a great opportunity.”

Chiron said calmly.

Lust sighed.

“It might be a trap. Isn’t it weird Why is that part? At this point in time when the grand banquet of the princes is being held. All in all, only the banquet hall. Besides, to celebrate the achievements of ‘Louid Christopher’.”

“Did the emperor make a move?”

From noble mtl dot com

In a fit of rage, he grinded his molars.

“But I mean.”

Lust shed a seductive smile.

“Even if you know it, you have no choice but to fall for it- It’s a delicious trap.”

**

Ruid was sitting at his desk for some reason.

She took a pen and scribbled something hard.

Ruid was studying.

Completely for personal greed.

The so-called ‘living as a 12-year-old for the rest of my life’ operation.

Ruid induced Ella to answer.

“Will my growth be slow? Are you sure?”

“Yes, yes. The reason why excellent mages live long is because mana has a direct or indirect effect on lifespan. If it’s Ruid-sama’s magical power, I expect it to stop at that appearance for about 20 years.”

In a word, it was that people with a high innate magical power would age slowly.

‘Although 20 years is enough time.’

Ruid has already seen a shocking future.

A cruel dystopia with no dreams or hopes.

Ruid didn’t want to become an adult.

‘Let’s take it easy from now on.’

Now that Ella has completed her theory, all that remains is for her to prove it with her own experiments.

“What does Ella think about eternal life?”

“Eternal life?”

“If you could live eternal life, would you?”

Ruid unfolded the map of the Empire.

She only checked a few places on her own.

It was the location of the three holy relics.

“…… First of all, I think eternal life is impossible. But if he answers on the premise that it’s possible… “

Ruid said, ‘Wouldn’t it be sad? People I know die one by one, and in the end I am left alone.’ I imagined a cliché answer.

However, Ella’s answer was completely different.

“Humanity will perish.”

“Ugh, huh?”

It was a very extreme answer, so I was embarrassed to become Ruid.

“Why?”

Ruid took her eyes off her map and looked up at Ella. Ella said with a serious face.

“The fact that one human being can live eternal life means that other human beings can also enjoy it. Life expectancy will increase, if not forever.”

“Right.”

“An increase in the average lifespan of humans means an increase in the world’s population. As the population increases, limited resources will inevitably become scarce. The biggest problem among them is the lack of food.”

“… You think there will be a world war or something.”

“It doesn’t even have to be a war. I think this world is made very delicately. The moment the number of humans exceeds the limit that nature can tolerate, I cannot dare to predict what problems will arise.”

‘… Is it Einstein?’

Louise swallowed her dry saliva.

I don’t know because I’m not from the apocalypse world, but what Ella was talking about were problems that actually happen in real time in modern times.

“But there is one thing wrong with what you said. They say eternal life is impossible.”

Ruid checked the map again and circled a specific area with a pen.

“In the first place, aren’t you being too negative after making such a huge discovery?”

“… Theory and proof are different. The more difficult the theory is, the more likely it is that unexpected problems will arise.”

“Then you can solve that problem as well.”

“I think my theory has potential, but proof is so difficult that I can’t even try. It is impossible to implement with current magic technology.”

Ruid felt a strange feeling the more he talked to Ella.

It was a feeling she had never felt before.

My chest feels stuffy, and my motivation boils over.

‘Challenge? A competitive spirit?’

Even Ruid himself couldn’t define what this feeling was.

“Ella.”

“Yes.”

Ella answered somewhat.

Her face was somewhat flushed.

‘It’s fun.’

Because the conversation with Ruid was very enjoyable.

It was the first time she had expressed her thoughts so openly.

Ruid pulled something out of her child’s space.

She was a half-broken cup.

“This is a holy relic.”

“Holy Relic… ?”

Ella’s eyes widened.

“But it’s broken.”

“Seo, the holy relic is broken? Why?”

“Someone accidentally broke it.”

Ruid had cloudy eyes.

Ella stood up in amazement.

“Nonsense! Are you human? How dare you break the holy relic.”

“… ….”

“Where in the world is such an unscrupulous person! I don’t know who he is, but he must be very selfish.”

‘That’s me.’

Ruid could not bear to speak.

The one who broke this was himself.

“Anyway, this is the power this holy relic originally possessed.”

Ruid pulled out the paper under her map.

It was a magic circle that I had been writing for a while.

It was exactly the magic circle that contained the functions of this ‘magical cup’.

Ella quickly took the magic circle and scanned it. Her eyes went back and forth.

“This, this…… “

Ella gulped.

“It’s infinite power.”

“Yes.”

‘As expected, he recognizes it right away.’

Unlimited power.

Although it has already been determined that it is physically impossible in modern times.

In this world, it was possible with the setting of ‘holy things given by God’.

And that was one of the 3 essential ingredients to use the magic called ‘eternal life’ that Ruid thought.

“I’m going to fix this from now on.”

“Yes?”

“Big.”

Louise cleared her throat and asked her sneakily.

“Ella, do you think the magic to turn back time is possible?”

This holy relic was ultimately necessary to use the great magic called ‘eternal life’.

But aside from that, Ruid wanted to show it.

That magic is making the impossible possible.

**

On the day of Ruid’s celebration.

Hercy and Amelia were waiting for a carriage at the academy.

“As expected, wouldn’t it be better to call Ruid?”

Hercy asked, glancing at her main building where Louis would be.

Amelia shook her head slowly.

“No. It seems like you’re working hard on something these days.”

My younger brother always slept.

By the way, lately I’ve been moving quite enthusiastically.

At the mansion, I saw her living almost buried in books, grabbing her head and shouting, ‘This is not it!’ Several times.

“This is my first time. To work so hard.”

It was the first time I saw Ruid passionately clinging to something while using his emotions.

So, even though Amelia had the intention of going to her banquet hall, Amelia did not want to invite him.

“As an older sister, it is only right to cheer for her. I have to say something about this banquet.”

“I-I will help you too!”

Hersy clenched his fists tightly.

“Anyway, this time I am attending as the representative of the Minerva family.”

Amelia replied with a kind smile.

“It’s reassuring.”

Just in time, the carriage stopped in front of them.

Before getting on the carriage, Hercy glanced at the academy once more.

‘Damon, I won’t do anything strange… ?’

The other day, Damon said something strange and disappeared.

I haven’t seen it since then.

He knew he was up to something, but he didn’t know exactly what it was.

After hearing Amelia’s words, I was worried that I might touch Ruid for no reason.

‘Shall I speak? No, it’s troublesome for me to worry about it.’

“Hercy?”

Amelia asked curiously, and Hersy said as she climbed into her wagon.

“Oh, nothing.”
