I’m not going to die

83 – Experiment (2)

“uh… . Argal, do you know what I just said?”

Fran was dumbfounded.

Did I speak too openly?

But there was no other way.

The goal this time was to conduct human experiments even while being prepared to die.

Coexistence of magic and magic is close to impossible.

“But it must be done.”

“I know that. But entrusting one’s life to an outsider, not another person, itself… .”

Fran doesn’t seem to trust Professor Ophelia.

It seems likely. I don’t know much about her, and her behavior isn’t a style that would give others confidence.

But I felt free to give her a chance to experiment.

She doesn’t care at all except to be interested.

Raeli was worried about other parts.

“If you don’t do well, won’t it become weird like last time?”

He was worried about the madness that comes along with death.

However, from my point of view, dying several times through immediate resurrection is a big problem, and dying through a long cycle of one or two times doesn’t seem to be a big problem.

“That will be fine.”

“uh… . Well… . It would be fine if there were no problems, but I keep feeling rejected.”

“What’s strange about it? As an immortal, I have to use immortality.”

She couldn’t hide her desire to stop it, but she nodded that she would respect my will.

“I could be of help in this area too, so call me anytime if you need anything.”

“I will whenever I need your brain.”

I replied that I would understand Fran’s assertion, and looked away.

Professor Ophelia looks at us with her arms crossed.

“So, are you going to do it right now?”

“…that’s too urgent, see you later.”

“Yes, do you know where my laboratory is?”

“I’ll find it on my own.”

After a brief conversation, Professor Ophelia quickly moved to her seat, probably because she had a lot of work to do.

The subtle atmosphere for a moment disappeared neatly when she disappeared.

Ahead of the future academy life, the one who laughed the most was Fran.

Fran said while raising her nose.

“Hey, you know what? I will only go to class with Argal from now on, right?”

“why not?”

When Raeli asked, Fran gave the obvious reason.

“That’s because Argal and I are the same mage. Isn’t it natural for wizards to take the same classes and swordsmen to take classes with each other?”

“This is discrimination!”

“It is not discrimination, it is distinction. If you don’t, you shouldn’t have been a wizard.”

Come to think of it, it is.

As the swordsman and the wizard had distinctly different fields, they had to take classes in front of different teachers.

It was very obvious, but it came as a shocking fact to Raeli and Asher.

Asher declared as he grabbed the spear with trembling hands.

“I am a wizard from now on.”

“…Assel, if you say something like that with a spear, it’s not persuasive at all.”

“No, this is a magic wand. I’ll show.”

When I stabbed a wall far away with a spear, there was a hole in it.

…In the eyes of others, he’s a wizard.

But isn’t this vandalism?

Fran smiled triumphantly at the other two who were struggling.

“Run hard on the playground! The two of us will be sitting and studying together.”

“Ugh!”

While Changsung burst into anger and Raeli covered her face with both hands, I wanted to tell you one thing.

“Strictly speaking, we probably won’t be taking classes.”

“Yeah? why?”

“What’s the point of taking classes even if you’re the only one?”

Of course, since it’s class 1, it would teach more than the basics, but the academy class was meaningless for Fran and me.

too low level

I’ll be better at using magic than a magic professor.

Fran also learned a lot from the Mage Tower Elder, who was at the same level as the professor.

Do I really need to take a class?

During my time at the academy, I planned a plan that would be a good experience or study.

“You can do that however you like? If you are an academy student, you have to take classes.”

“I am going to take a realistic approach. It is enough to convince the dean.”

“Oh, no.”

If this is the case, I wonder if it would be better to act freely without staying in the academy, but belonging to the academy was absolutely necessary.

A number of noble children are staying at the academy.

There is an opportunity to gain their political power.

In addition, the hero was bound to the academy.

As a kind of evaluation institution, the academy was able to decide whether or not the hero was awarded the holy sword.

Of course, the holy sword was one body with the hero, so there was never a single case where he couldn’t receive it.

i have to stop that

Because when the hero becomes stronger, the demon lord also becomes stronger.

And there were a lot of promising people in the academy.

If you can train them to survive even a little during the Great War, it will soon become a great force.

After such trouble, I looked at Fran.

She had a sullen look on her face when she said she wasn’t taking classes with me.

I told her good news for her.

“Anyway, I have no intention of skipping classes all at once and doing free actions right away. During your free time, you can take classes together.”

“okay?!”

If you move too noticeably, you will incur hostility.

No matter how strong you are, you’ll have to convince the academy that you don’t need classes before you can cooperate with the academy.

Then, Frank regains his energy, and on the contrary, Asher and Raeli, who were elated, wither away.

“…Do we have to part like this?”

“If anyone sees it, they will know that they will never meet again.”

I couldn’t understand their feelings at all, so I decided to just end it at this point.

Until he graduates from the academy, he will not only take classes with Fran, and from the middle, the warrior party plans to carry out necessary tasks, so he will only fall for a short time, and even this will see his face again after class, but why does he react like that?

…Or do you just hate it when Fran and I go together?

Anyway, I don’t know.

After that decision was made, I was on my way back to the dormitory.

A saddened Asher tried to take out his anger on Fran, and Raeli tried to harass Fran using physical force.

I’ve always seen Fran and Raeli join forces to harass Asher, but it was different when the composition changed like this.

“Aww, it hurts. It hurts!”

“Die, die.”

“I also have a bit of a spicy taste, Fran.”

At this time, there was a professor who came to me.

After the playful atmosphere subsided for a moment, the professor spoke to me.

“The dean is looking for you.”

“Is that so?”

I was originally going to meet you, but you called me right now.

Do you think the timing is good?

The dean’s consent was absolutely necessary to carry out the plan I wanted.

As we nodded and followed, Asher whispered.

“If you are in danger, shout my name and I will run right away.”

“…Is there anything the dean could do to put me in danger?”

I let Asher talk nonsense in one ear and followed the professor, and I was able to enter a larger building.

It was an academy that boasted of history and tradition, so even the dean’s office was not an ordinary one.

Even so, sitting in the office was an old man with weak energy who was about to retire.

Even though the dean was in a high position, I couldn’t see him as a special person given that I didn’t remember him.

But it wasn’t just the dean.

Beside him stood a hero with eyes like blue emeralds.

While a little surprised by her presence, he greeted the dean.

“hello.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Showed a polite attitude.

If things fall out and the dean decides to bully me, I’ll be a very tricky opponent.

You must negotiate so that you can act freely without attending classes.

The dean changed his posture with a serious attitude, sat down, looked at me and the hero and said.

“There is a reason I called you.”

“Is that so?”

“It’s important, very important.”

Since the dean was emphasizing that much while wiping the sweat from his brow, I was a bit serious.

If it’s enough to make a notice like that, did something big happen?

“You have been invited as spectators to the peace conference between the demon army and the kingdom.”

“…Does that make sense?”

The most embarrassing thing was the warrior.

To her, the Demon King’s army was her lifelong nemesis.

Peace talks against such demon lords?

It was nothing but a contradiction.

But it wasn’t very strange news to me.

Because the current Demon King has maintained the most exchanges and peace with mankind.

It is not for nothing that he has the nickname of the Demon King of Justice.

Until he took off his mask, he continued to maintain a peaceful gesture.

A peace treaty would be the same.

However, the warrior could not understand.

Talking about peace before a lifelong enemy.

cannot be achieved

“I can’t go!”

“But it’s His Majesty’s order, and it’s something I can’t do anything about. I don’t know if I can convince His Majesty the King myself.”

The warrior shut his mouth.

Does it make sense to persuade the king?

For the hero who wanted to overthrow the royal family, it was a burden to meet and talk with the king.

I don’t care if we have a meeting or not, but I have a question.

Even if it is only natural for warriors to participate in the peace talks because they represent humanity, why am I involved in this?

I wondered if there was any particular reason.

“I heard that the demon king’s army invited them because they were curious about the talented person who surpassed the hero and took the top spot.”

“okay.”

“Not right now due to schedule, but be prepared to leave in a week.”

Somehow, I ended up participating in the peace talks with the hero.

If the demon lord had pointed to me directly, there must have been an intention.

When I thought about the reason, there were too many things that came to my mind.

Because a lot has happened lately.

…you’ll know once you go.

It’s not that the demon king is going to kill me right away, because I won’t die anyway.

A big incident occurred, but the main point was not forgotten.

I took out what I wanted from the dean and told it.

“I need something, dean.”

“What is it?”

“There are students like me, Reinhardt, Asher, and the warrior who are beyond the level taught at the academy. Shouldn’t we collect them and separately study them according to our skills?”

“…No, you’re saying you’re going to graduate from the academy while missing classes, but that’s not fair to the other students.”

“Then there is no reason to stay at the academy. Dean. The classes that the academy can give are below our level.”

Having said that, the dean laughed at my arrogant attitude.

“You’re so confident, do you need to graduate from the academy with that level of skill? You can come out right away and move wherever you want.”

“We need an academy. That is why I enrolled.”

“…If so, prove it.”

The dean proposed to me.

Proposal to prove that you really don’t need classes at the academy.

He said that he would not distinguish between the methods, so if he convinced me, he would consider it so that I could attend the academy even if I did not take classes.

I nodded here.

It will take some time, but it is a satisfactory agreement.
