The Status Window Disappeared

Saydran Royal Academy (5)

However, Chris’ opponent was more impatient than expected.

The guy fired the pistol in his right hand before he could move.

Accompanied by a thunder-like sound, smoke unique to firearms using black powder spreads acridly.

Chris frantically tried to use his magic, but the spell on the pistol’s barrel accelerated the bullet in an instant.

The moment he tried to raise his real mana without being able to do it.

A familiar new model covered his field of vision.

“How dare you do something like this at my academy!”

It was none other than the dean who stood in Chris’ way.

She parried the pistol’s bullets very easily and subdued the underclassmen in one fell swoop.

Under her protection, Chris almost instinctively estimated the difference in skill with himself.

‘Even if I openly use the status window, I won’t be able to fight.’

As much as she is an excellent magician, she is almost invincible in her home base, the academy.

Didn’t he manage to notice an incident in this large site and fly away at once just this time?

The enraged dean was ready to chew and eat the failed students at any moment, but he did not completely forget his duty.

Raising Illesis, who collapsed in shock, she approached Chris and asked.

“Where are you hurt? It’s not like you don’t even know what this thing is… Maybe it’s because it’s a high sword, so it’s good.”

She called the guards, crumpling the handgun she took from the failed student with her bare hands.

Chris thanked her and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

The magical powers that had been quiet until now began to rage wildly.

‘what? Why is this all of a sudden?’

Chris secretly tried to control his heart, but instead of calming down inside, all he could do was hide his magical power from being revealed.

The dean nodded, as if misinterpreting his response.

“Are you surprised? Go back to your accommodation and rest. If the condition is very bad, go to the infirmary… You can do the interrogation tomorrow.”

“Thank you.”

Chris and Illesis left the scene gladly when they saw people rushing in.

Among the belated onlookers was Princess Rosefeld, but she seemed to have roughly guessed the situation after seeing the faces of the parties involved.

But Chris didn’t even think to blame her right now.

The flow of sealed magical power became increasingly unstable, and now it seems to break through the body at any moment.

If something is not done right away, not only the amount of magical energy hidden, but also the secret magic of absorption will be exposed.

Chris broke up with Elesis and headed to the stable where the ghost horse was.

‘I don’t know why he’s doing this, but I have to go back to Elgar and get him treated.’

The stables were still far away.

Already, the magical energy unique to the magic of sucking magic is leaking out.

As he moved his staggering body and turned the corner, a pale-faced man blocked his way.

“… … .”

Standing in front of Chris was a professor who taught magic theory.

He didn’t have a great presence, but he was a person who did well in class… … .

Did he notice Chris’ magical power?

His expression was slightly different from usual.

‘Should I get rid of it in this state?’

Before Chris could take the next action after thinking briefly, the opponent moved first.

The magic theory professor stretched out his hand to him, grabbed his wrist, and infused his magic power into it.

Then, the inside of Chris, who was messing around, quickly calmed down.

“Hmm?”

“Get out of here quickly.”

When Chris raised one eye at the unexpected help, he said quietly and left immediately.

Chris’ mana was still unstable, but it seemed to have been given first aid, so it was much more comfortable than before.

He walked back to the stable, thinking about the meeting he had just had.

‘Is that man, by any chance, someone planted by Elgar?’

Elgar is a woman who can change the admissions office of the second son of the High Sword family at will, and even change it to someone else if that is not enough.

So, there is nothing strange about having one or two collaborators inside the academy.

Of course, Chris hadn’t heard of that at all… … .

Isn’t he also hiding something from Elgar?

Maybe that man has the role of monitoring Chris.

Anyway, it’s good that the immediate worries are relieved.

Chris was grateful for the unexpected help and hurried on.

A ghost horse had already come out and was waiting for him outside the stable.

“Hee hee hee!”

“Ugh… … .”

Feeling as if he had been stabbed in the side, Chris climbed onto the ghost horse with difficulty.

The guy picked him up and hid in the sound dimension without delay.

Arriving at Elgar’s mansion not long after, Chris staggered into the main building.

It was already dark, but she wasn’t even wearing her nightgown.

While waiting on the ladies-in-waiting, she stood up and greeted him.

“how have you been? It doesn’t look very good.”

Before Chris could say anything, the witch’s examination began.

She examines his body as if it is interesting, but it is not long before she finds the cause of the abnormal phenomenon.

“It seems that some powerful magic has affected the occult. I think this is a bit overreacting to external stimuli. Did someone use a space movement spell next to you?”

“I’m not sure, but I think the dean wrote something similar.”

The dean appeared quickly and stealthily without Chris noticing.

Maybe that’s the space movement spell Elgar is talking about.

Upon hearing Chris’ answer, the witch nodded in satisfaction and laid him down on the cot.

“As expected, it was good to try the clinical trial. Unless you’re a magician of the dean’s level, you won’t be able to influence the secret arts… Still, flaws are flaws, so I have to make up for them.”

When the demon king swept Chris’ chest once, the pain disappeared as if it had been washed away, and when he swept it a second time, the secret technique began to change.

Complementing the esoteric did not take long.

Before Chris even got up, she sat down on the sofa again and took the wine from the lady-in-waiting.

“Now, even if powerful magic spreads around you, you won’t be affected. But instead, the activation of the secret technique might be a little slower.”

“If it slows down, how slow is it?”

“In decimal units. Not much of a difference. Then please do your best in the future.”

The Demon King sent Chris away without telling him how much longer he would have to stay at the academy.

Fortunately for Chris, who has yet to find a clue about the black flag.

Right now, the more relaxed she is, the better.

Chris, who returned to the academy to avoid being noticed by others, laid his tired body on the bed.

The next day, he skipped classes and was investigated for the previous incident.

Even if it was a failing student, it was not easy to escape as the students shot each other.

The guy who was the ringleader of this case had a fairly strong family.

Chris was worried that his identity would be revealed while the work was being processed, but… … .

The high sword family’s education policy was basically neglect, so there was no big problem.

It seems that Elgar handled the envoy to Raiden’s hometown somehow.

In the end, the leader of the failed students had his right hand cut off and was banished from the family for numerous crimes, such as the attempted murder of a high-ranking nobleman and bringing weapons into the academy.

It may seem a bit excessive for a minor to be punished, but getting shot by a child is no less painful.

The rest of the students, along with the heads of their families, apologized to the victims, Chris and Elesis.

In addition, it is a bonus to ask for a considerable amount of compensation.

Although they were aristocrats with a vast gap from the High Sword family, they were noble nobles in their own way.

Chris, along with Elesis, was surprised to receive their apology.

Illesis, as if having a similar sentiment, expressed her thoughts while eating.

“I never thought the heads of each family would come to apologize in person… … .”

“I know. I didn’t know that their heads could go down that much angle.”

“Le, Raiden!”

When Chris admired in a slightly different part from Elesis, she looked around in amazement.

However, Chris reacted indifferently.

Raiden was originally a high-ranking aristocrat, so he needed to show an arrogant side from time to time.

Illesis, who had struggled to calm her astonishment, looked at Chris with a sudden smile.

“I think it ended well because you helped me. The power and reputation of the High Sword are truly amazing.”

If Chris hadn’t intervened in this incident, the family heads wouldn’t have come and apologized.

Chris vehemently denied her words.

“no. If I hadn’t stepped forward, the dean wouldn’t have stayed still?”

“Thank you anyway. I was really worried when you came out, but at the same time I was very happy.”

Illesis bowed her head slightly and gave a belated thanks.

She didn’t know Chris’ real ability, so it must have looked like he was risking his life for her.

Chris skipped her greetings and saw Princess Rosefeld as she left the restaurant first.

Of course, of course, Rosefeldt did not take any responsibility for this incident.

It was a bit sarcastic for Chris, who almost got shot because of her.

Of course, I knew that she hadn’t done much wrong, but where did people’s hearts go as they pleased?

The thick woman gave me a good excuse, so now I can hate her with confidence on this side as well.

Illesis, noticing his gaze, got up first and headed towards the classroom building.

It hasn’t been long since the first exam was over, but almost all students are busy preparing for the next exam.

The test to be taken sooner or later was a practical test, similar to a performance evaluation, and although it does not directly determine failure, it was important in its own way because it affects graduation grades.

This is especially true for those who are close to graduating at the top of their class, such as Illesis or Rosefeld.

However, Chris had no thoughts of graduating, so he spent more time than others.

“I didn’t just take the first test by writing, so why did you say a practical test again?”

“Didn’t you hear what the professor said earlier? The first test is to evaluate whether you have taken the class properly, and this test is to see if you can apply it. It might be a bit more difficult than the first test because you have more autonomy.”

Illesis explained excitedly, then suddenly hardened her complexion when she saw Rosefeld in the front seat.

Chris got a little nervous, wondering if this guy was thinking about something strange.

Unfortunately, his predictions turned out pretty well.

A few days later, after finishing his practical exam, Chris looked up at the bulletin board with subtle expectations.

This test was a way to give him a task and let him solve it at will, but this kind of test was much easier for him as he had a lot of experience as an adventurer.

‘Maybe it’s right after the first exam, so the difficulty doesn’t seem too high… Okay, this time it’s in the rankings.’

Chris, who raised his eyes from the top, found his name in the third place.

The 2nd place is a male student who has been consistently performing well since before.

Then, of course, the name of the first place would be Illesis.

Thinking so, Chris found Rosefeld’s name and bit his tongue.

‘what? Where is Ilesis?’

Even if it’s a task that tests autonomy, there’s no reason Illesis can’t win first place.

This is because she is an outstanding talent enough to teach her fellow student, Chris.

Although Rosefeld was ranked second in the Faculty of Magic, teachers and students are of the opinion that there is a significant gap between first and second.

Chris, who lowered his gaze with a sense of uneasiness, found Illesis’ name in the upper-middle class.

This is a truly absurd result.

As he was about to say something to Illesis, she quietly shook her head and led him away.

Soon after arriving at the library, she calmly started studying as if nothing had happened.

Chris wanted to say something to her, but held back his thoughts and opened the book.

An awkward silence passed between the two, when slightly familiar footsteps sounded from behind.

The sound of footsteps that had approached him abruptly stopped behind him.

Chris reluctantly put down the book and looked back at Rosefeld, the owner of the footsteps.

For some reason, the angry princess was glaring at Illesis with fierce eyes.
