The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Chapter 44 Warlock (2)

Tarancio glared at Isabella.

She punished herself in the end because her breath was a big factor.

He thinks that the reason he is being punished this way is because he attacked Eugene.

‘… Awful favoritism.’

If it had been another cadet instead of Eugene, the result would have been quite different.

Belatedly, she heard that Yan Dela was a warlock’s minion, but she herself did not know it.

He just helped to kill Eugene.

What he felt most unfair about was that he had made up his mind to kill Eugene, but as a result, that didn’t happen, and nobody knew that he had such a thought.

“Your crime is so severe that you will be summarily executed just for cooperating with the demon summoner. Please know that ending it like this is a good thing.”

“Lies… !”

At Isabella’s words, Tarancio shouted in a fit of rage.

“I… I… ! Isn’t it because I attacked him that I’m punishing him with such ridiculous weight… ! You hypocrite! Trash… !”

He screamed in anger, but the professors gathered in the courtroom just shook their heads.

“Who are you to judge me… ! Even the Emperor couldn’t judge me… ! Could something so absurd happen… !”

“What happened at the Legion Academy has the right to be judged independently of the Empire. Who wouldn’t know that More than anything else, your actions almost cost countless lives. It is unfair, but everyone here agreed that it was a reasonable disposition.”

At Isabella’s words, Tarancio’s eyes were bloodshot with hatred and resentment.

He took each one in his eyes.

The members of ‘Garden’ who pretended not to know themselves.

Isabella wielding the academy again… And the one I hate most of all is Eugene.

‘Must… I will definitely tear it apart… !’

I couldn’t express this miserable feeling in words.

“I will expel you from the academy as of the current time.”

Tarancio was sentenced.

He was expelled from the academy with his magic circuit destroyed.

The crime was conspiring to cause great confusion to the academy and the empire by cooperating with a demon summoner.

To Tarancio, it was just an unfair and unfair judgment.

The commotion is over.

After leaving the gate, the faculty at Legion became very busy.

That’s why Isabella urgently called a meeting.

It seemed like they had a meeting almost once a day, and I was able to hear about it from Isabella.

The topic is a countermeasure meeting on how to take responsibility for the safety of the academy in a situation where a high-ranking black magician is targeting the Legion.

It seems that there is no sharp plan.

Because it is close to impossible to fundamentally block all the attack methods of the black magician who has lived for over 300 years.

For now, it seems that we have decided to prepare for emergencies by maintaining more caution and a high level of vigilance.

A covert search was also underway.

Because there was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be a case like Yandela.

Anyway.

On the surface, the academy seemed peaceful.

Actually, after I returned to the gate, I went to class without incident, and most of the cadets didn’t even know what was happening inside.

Those who went to the gate,

“What was that then?”

“Well… It seems that the professors don’t know too well?”

“There must have been a great fight, but… Could it be that the president came inside?”

“… It’s the most probable, but can you open a closed gate?”

“I don’t know. But, wouldn’t it be possible with the President?”

It seems the kids lack imagination.

Professor Limpulskin, who witnessed the battle, must have been shut down by Isabella,

Unexpectedly again, Ruina didn’t show up and stayed quiet.

‘Isn’t it?’

Aside from giving advice, I don’t think she was too mean.

As expected. Colored glasses are so scary.

But if you think about it, Ruina instigated Tarancio to test me.

The picture she drew might not be like this, but wouldn’t I have been in danger too?

Anyway, thanks to that, only a few people know that I’m a master right now.

But, I expect this to be short-lived.

If you increase the number of people you know, you will come to know the truth exponentially before you know it.

I guess people don’t want to believe that I’ve reached Master at this age because of my lack of imagination.

Lunch time.

After parting with Rossi, I headed to the gymnasium.

It’s a common place for the cadets of the Faculty of Engineering, but there were people who used it around this time every day.

‘It’s there today too.’

From noble mtl dot com

Elzebet.

My eyes were drawn to the figure from behind as he silently wielded a sword with his dark blond hair tightly tied.

She sensed my presence and turned around.

“Eugene, it seems I have a business.”

Hair wet with sweat.

Nevertheless, it was a posture that did not fade at all.

“If you’re busy, we can talk later.”

“No, it’s okay. It’s true that the original girl just finished her training.”

Then he came to me.

There was a wooden bench on one side of the gymnasium, and we soon sat side by side on it.

I put a nearby towel under the bench,

“Thank you.”

Ezebet gently sat on top of it.

She asked, turning her head to look at me.

“Yes, tell me.”

“No big deal. I heard strange words at the gate that day. Regarding the curse placed on you.”

Not long ago, I observed the singularity of Elizabeth.

Something ominous was consuming her body, and now she was half-sure that it was the curse the warlock had spoken about.

“…… “

Ezebet’s expression hardened more seriously than ever before.

That response became an answer.

As the black magician said, there was no doubt that Elizabeth was cursed.

“… Who said that?”

“A warlock named Helena? I heard she was a sorceress who was active 300 years ago.”

“It happened when I was little…. A certain warlock put a curse on me. By boldly entering the imperial palace. The black magician you saw… It seems that the person who cursed me is right.”

“…… “

I wonder if that is possible.

No matter how high a wizard you are, the imperial palace is a place with impenetrable security.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the safest place in the Empire.

To my puzzled expression, Elizabeth added an explanation.

“Bonnyeo… I’m guessing that someone from the royal family instigated me to put a curse on me…. A terrible curse. That curse still haunts her original daughter.”

“… That.”

It’s all about that someone in her family wanted her dead.

Whatever the reason, it couldn’t have been anything but terrible.

“What kind of curse is that?”

“… A curse that gnaws away the target’s vitality before fish. I heard that originally, she should have died at the age of 20.”

Ezebet was calm as if talking to someone else.

“…… “

I was deeply impressed that he did his best without expressing it despite living with such a curse.

If possible, I wanted to heal her curse.

“It’s been a long time since the Empire’s most famous councilor and high-ranking wizard looked at my curse. However, none of them could cure or relieve the curse.”

“… Oh no.”

“Maybe. The black magician who put her curse on her original daughter must be quite powerful. That person may be able to curse her original daughter, but if she had been the one who would obey her, she wouldn’t have put her own curse on the original daughter.”

She also said that there was no way for her to do it.

I didn’t think there would be a sharp way either, but

“Could it be that the curse leaves traces on the body?”

“Of course. It remains on my body in the form of a tattoo.”

“Can you see it?”

Erzebeth’s eyes curled at my question, and a mischievous smile was on her lips.

“If you see that, you will have to take responsibility for the original woman. Would that be okay?”

“…… “

It sounds like a joke, but should I say it has a bit of sincerity in it?

I understood the meaning of her words.

You must mean that the tattoo is inscribed in a secret place.

“Above all… Didn’t you personally meet the person who saw the curse on me? … If it can be cured, there is no shame in showing it as myself.”

Ezebet checked to see if no one was around,

She said quietly, her face slightly flushed.

“… Could you turn around for a second?”

As she meekly turned her body around, she heard the rustling of her clothes.

“You can look back now.”

As she looked back, she noticed a tattoo under her belly button.

Under her navel… So, it must be near where women’s precious space is.

Erze Beth turned her head to her side, slightly lifting the hem of her school uniform.

I could sense from her behavior that she was very shy.

I couldn’t help but keep my eyes on her white skin and cute belly button.

“Papa, check it quickly.”

I checked the tattoo.

A bizarre face. And it had horns.

The tattoo seemed to embody the devil’s face.

I couldn’t figure out how to do that, even with my innate ‘magic eye’.

Cautiously, she placed her hand on her stomach.

Awkward—.

Erze Beth didn’t show his trembling movements, and felt the magic wave of her curse.

“… Sorry. I don’t even know how.”

“… Okay.”

Erzebet, she didn’t want to show it, but she obviously felt disappointed at my words.

However.

It wasn’t that there was no way to break this curse.

“Now that this has happened, I will have to kill that warlock.”

She’s been messing around with her academy, so we’ll see her soon.

She had one more reason to fight her.

Did she say that patients need hope?

“I will definitely fix it, Elizabeth.”

I spoke to her in her confident tone.

“Thank you for just listening to me.”

But she didn’t expect much.

She didn’t even know that maybe she was used to frustration.

You must have been tortured with hope that you could curse dozens, maybe hundreds of times.

Seeing her like that made me want to heal her.
