47 – Crack 2

“It may be a bit hard to believe. “We have confirmed that some of the mental magic cast on Mr. Espin has been corrupted.”

The next day, the results of the test Espin received yesterday came out.

As I expected, Espin had a blank look on his face as if he couldn’t believe it when he heard that it had been confirmed that the Heavenly God Church had used some trick.

“… It’s not a joke or a lie. Really?”

Hearing those words, the wizard who performed the test looked at Espin with an awkward smile.

It may be because Espin revealed that he was an inspector for the inspection, but he also seemed very embarrassed by the results.

I looked at the two who were confused and spoke briefly.

“How to dispel the mental magic?”

“The techniques involved are quite complicated… “First of all, I think I’ll need quite a bit of time to research.”

When I heard that it would take a lot of time, I was worried about what to do, so I just folded my arms.

The inspector must have judged my behavior as ‘anger’, so he was shocked and spoke urgently to me.

“Lee, Lee Ju. No, if you give me ten days… !”

When I heard that, I became very embarrassed.

I obviously just crossed my arms without saying anything, but it was because I didn’t understand why the other person was reacting that way.

The moment I heard those words, I opened my mouth to clear up the misunderstanding.

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut as I saw the people behind the inspector looking dejected and looking like they were on the verge of crying.

‘What kind of being was Dern before possession?’

… When I think about it, I can kind of get a feel for it.

When I first met Shien, he did something that went beyond being cheesy and could be considered as expressing malice.

Seeing as Shien expressed that he had ‘become very nice’, it seems that Dern was behaving outside of common sense.

I was laughing to myself as I thought about that, then waved my hand and spoke briefly.

“I will give you two weeks. Let’s find a way within it.”

Hearing those words, the auditor looked at me with a brightened expression and quickly nodded.

I waved my hand to tell them to go away.

After greeting them politely, they left the guest reception room as if running away.

“…… “

Even though they are all gone, Espin is still looking at the ceiling with a blank expression.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m faced with an unbelievable reality, or because I have a lot to think about.

There were many things I needed to tell him, so I forced Espin, who was in trouble, to come to his senses.

“Spin.”

Espin looks at me with a somewhat blank expression at my words.

It may be a bit cruel to talk realistically in a situation like this.

She had a suspicion, thinking that she would be able to hold on.

“I thought that the reason the inspection department did not give you the right job was not simply because you were young.”

“… What?”

I slowly continued speaking to Espin, who was embarrassed.

“The reason I didn’t give you the job may be because you don’t fit in with the Heavenly God Church.”

The Celestial Church also tries, if possible, to attract people who are easy to control or who are friendly to the Celestial Church.

Appeasement like Espin didn’t work, and a guy with a burning sense of justice in many ways would be difficult to manage from their point of view, so they wouldn’t be very favored.

‘What’s more, Espin’s father, a high-ranking administrator with such influence that he can directly influence the inspection department, is also behind him.’

It must have seemed somewhat obvious to them to bring them in so openly.

‘So I just cast a mental spell and left it alone.’

There was a high probability that they would leave it alone in normal times and try to use Espin in important situations.

When I told Espin this conclusion, she covered her face with her hands and spoke to me.

“Now… “I don’t know what to believe anymore.”

It seems like the mind is in confusion as even the inspection department, which it rightly believed was justice, has entered the realm of doubt.

I smiled at her and spoke briefly to her.

“Do I really need to believe it?”

“… Uh?”

“Aren’t you the inspector general?”

At the word inspector, Espin blinked her eyes and looked at me.

I guess I realized what I wanted to say, ‘Okay… ‘Inspector, inspector.’ I muttered and got up from my seat.

“Thank you.”

I responded to Espin’s thank you by just shrugging her shoulders.

Espin has a determined expression on her face and she just goes out.

‘It would be better if we can organize the inspection department in the future.’

I sipped her coffee and closed my eyes, thinking that it would be a good idea to at least expand Espin’s range of activities.

When I went to school the next day, I was able to receive this notice.

[Scheduled to visit the Central Magical Society]

The moment I saw this, I closed the grimoire with the thought that something like this existed.

‘Take a field trip… ‘

As I recalled the events that happened there, I looked at Rumi who was sitting next to me.

In the original novel, it was written that Rumi had clearly suffered irreversible shock and pain from the Magic Society.

‘The one that was described in the most detail was… I think it was the strength of the forces of the Heavenly God Church that were widespread in the Central Academy.’

In addition to enemies that you wonder if you can defeat even if you try your whole life.

Even countless powerful people who can destroy everything they have built with just a flick of a finger.

When Rumi realized that all these people were her ‘enemies’, she felt a great sense of emptiness and broke down.

While thinking about this, I looked at Rumi, who was practicing origami next to her.

I then looked away, deciding not to create a situation that could cause Rumi to collapse in any way.

“Derndern.”

As I was looking ahead to concentrate on the lecture, Delia called my name and whispered softly.

“Would you like to go on a field trip to the Magic Society with me?”

Hearing those words, I looked at Delia in silence.

Delia smiles brightly and continues her story to me.

“Of course, I plan to go with you even if you refuse.”

If that’s the case, why did you ask?

I looked away, trying hard to resist the urge to hit Takbam, and Delia spoke to me again.

“I will prepare a lunch box. “I’m looking forward to it.”

“… Lunch box?”

“Yes. “I heard my dad talk the other day, and he said there’s nothing like good food to win a man’s heart.”

“…… “

I nodded my head roughly to tell him to take care of it.

Delia speaks to me with a triumphant expression.

“Are you already looking forward to it? Yes, you can look forward to it. Even though it’s like this, I think I’ll make it well because I’m very dexterous.”

Doesn’t the fact that it looks like it’s going to be made mean that it’s never been made?

I looked at Delia with a strange feeling of anxiety, but Delia hummed and started writing down something in her magic book.

“…… “

If it doesn’t taste good, I decide to run away and buy it at a nearby restaurant.

Rumi, who was next to me, spoke to me in a croaking voice, as if she had heard our conversation.

“Well, I’m a muffin… “I can make it.”

I know because I gave it to you last time.

When Rumi nodded her head at those words, Rumi thought for a moment, but then a good idea came to her mind, and she muttered softly with a somewhat brightened expression.

“If you make really big muffins, you might not have to eat a lunch box… “

“…… “

After hearing this, I tried to pretend not to hear it and looked ahead.

One of the professors who was giving a lecture on magic theory research spoke to me with a bright smile on his face.

“What does student Dern think about the magic formula?”

Usually, questions were asked to warn students who were not paying attention.

Maybe it’s because of the modified formula I wrote on the test paper before.

The number of professors who sincerely ask about the magic formula has increased.

‘It doesn’t matter if you ignore it.’

There is no need to hurt each other’s feelings and create unnecessary variables.

I answered this to the lowest level I could.

“It contains an excessively inefficient magic formula from beginning to end. Especially with the cooling formula in the middle section, it’s completely unnecessary… “

The professor’s expression brightened little by little every time I opened my mouth, so it seemed like I was asking a sincere question.

I looked at the professor like that and decided that it would be better to end the answer at an appropriate level and continued speaking.

After the lecture ended, the professor left the classroom, repeating the word perfect.

I was just about to open the grimoire for no reason, thinking that the constant attention was quite burdensome.

Rumi, who was next to me, looked anxious and muttered softly.

“When interest increases… Competitors… “

Why does this guy keep criticizing his rival since last time?

I thought I couldn’t stand this anymore so I lightly hit him.

Rumi talks to me while rubbing her head, her face crying.

“… Deer hurts.”

“I hit you because it hurt, so isn’t it natural that it hurts?”

“…… “

Unlike Rumi, she nods her head and makes a sullen expression, as if she has nothing to say.

I sighed, thinking that it would be quiet for a while if things got that way.
