Chapter 277 – Each Person’s Will
“Yes, no.”
Jun resolutely pulled his hand away.
Then Tony made an ‘ah~’ sound and gave me a look full of regret.
‘Is this person really?’
“Suspicious person! Juni, quickly hide behind Por!”
At that moment, an ominous prediction occurred to me.
And it wasn’t just her, Fortuna, who was sleeping on her head like a cat, raised her wings like a wary cat and blocked Tony’s path in the blink of an eye.
“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding! “I never held the Cardinal’s hand with impure intentions!”
“Then why are you massaging our Junie’s hand so unpleasantly!”
Tony was startled by that sudden reaction and shouted in frustration.
However, Fortuna, who had become a cat, did not easily believe her words.
“Wait a minute, Sister Porn.”
“Sister, calm down a little.”
The people who calmed her down were none other than Elysia and Iris, who trusted and followed Fortuna like her own sisters.
“Little brothers, what’s wrong? “Aren’t you a bad person?”
“Yes. No, sister.”
“He’s usually very nice. “I get weird like this when something I’m interested in comes up.”
After saying that, Elysia smiled bitterly as if she couldn’t stop him, and Iris looked at Tony with an expression as if she was fed up.
“I’m sorry.”
Tony bows his head as if he doesn’t deserve it.
Seeing that all three of them seemed quite familiar with this situation, it seemed like this was not the first time this had happened.
“Yes, when I was working as a teaching assistant, I had a chance to talk about Darling, so I briefly told him about it. From then on, he showed this attitude by asking about Darling whenever he got the chance.”
“I’m teaching basic magic because I don’t have any students, but Professor Tony originally majored in space magic. He is also a researcher of space magic recognized by the Empire. As you may have noticed, spatial magic is Professor Tony’s number one area of interest.”
“Then it’s only natural for you to look like that.”
Space is an attribute that is close to the realm of God, so magic utilizing space was very difficult and arcane in itself, and even more difficult to use.
How could magic become obsolete despite its usefulness?
The fact that he could use space magic as if he were breathing was enough to make Tony, a space magic otaku, go crazy.
I’m sure his head right now is full of imaginations of doing this and that with himself.
It was clear to see that even though he was apologizing, he did not take his crazy gaze away from me even for a moment.
“Por, I’m scared.”
“Don’t worry, Junie. Because Por will protect Juni no matter what happens!”
“Mae, I swear I have no intention of harming you! Just a drop or two of blood…”
“Hi!”
“Go away! “Absolutely not!”
Tony, who had taken out a forearm-sized syringe to draw one or two drops of blood, was unable to withstand Fortuna’s scolding and the other wives’ harsh gazes, so he had no choice but to give up on drawing June’s blood.
“More than that, Professor Tony, what are you doing here? “The professor rarely leaves the lab unless it’s lecture time.”
“I would like to guide the Cardinal to the Dean. Cardinal, the Dean is waiting for you to give a lecture. Please follow me.”
Tony, who spoke weakly in response to Elysia’s question, soon turned back and started taking the lead as if telling her to follow.
The sight of his back, with his shoulders drooping, had the power to make even the viewer droop.
“Darling, we’ll just leave.”
“Don’t cry because we’re not there. Okay?”
Elysia and Iris went separately to listen to the 10-star lecture.
For reference, Elysia was listening to the basics of Sword Saint’s sword techniques, and Iris was listening to muscle training that even a father’s monkey could do.
Hello, Cardinal!
Brother, you are so cool! He’s really so handsome.
Cardinal! If I drink all of this elixir, will I be able to become strong like the Cardinal?
“… Juni, this place is strange.”
“My words.”
As we walked down the street following Tony, students talked to us with sparkling eyes.
Some of them were holding cups of growth elixir like the students who had come to meet them, and although the remaining students were not holding cups, they all smelled like elixir and vomit.
Perhaps it was because of the show of force shown at the academy, but it was a shame that he didn’t come too close. If he had come closer, he would have frowned.
“Haha. You must be proud.”
“Me? “Why?”
Instead of being proud, I feel guilty because I feel like I’ve poisoned the Academy.
No, if you vomit, you should wash up or at least spray some perfume. Why are you walking around smelling so good?
Why are you showing off that you drank the elixir in the first place?
“Of course, it is to show respect for the Cardinal. The words the Cardinal said yesterday, the inaction he showed, and the reasons for his strength must have all left an impression on the students. Well, it seems like there are some students who aren’t like that.”
Tony smiles and looks somewhere.
Soon his glasses became translucent, and the students who were looking at him with unpleasant eyes were reflected.
At the very rear of them was an animal with both nostrils blocked with tissues.
“… Students must have been divided into two groups.”
“Yes, fortunately, it is divided in half, so I don’t think there will be any major troubles. For your information, the same goes for the employees who were divided in half.”
“Which side are you, Professor Tony?”
When Jun asked jokingly, Tony instead of answering held out a cup containing the elixir of growth.
That was enough of an answer, but when are you going to eat it?
“Aren’t you in trouble?”
“It’s difficult. How nerve-wracking it is. It is difficult for both those giving the lecture and those listening to it. But I have no intention of blaming the Cardinal. Because it exploded. “Others may not know, but I think so.”
After saying that, Tony stops in front of a building.
He complained softly that fun times always go by too quickly, then looked back at Jun and added.
“However, I hope this situation will be gently resolved as quickly as possible. There aren’t many places like here where you can experiment to your heart’s content without worrying about what others think.”
A wish that doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Jun unconsciously nodded at the slight madness he felt inside.
“Haha. Thank you And just one drop of blood…”
“What are you doing at the same time? “I don’t like it!”
“… Black. Yes.”
――――――
The building Tony guided me to was a sparring hall filled with magic related to protection.
Surely you don’t want to give a lecture here?
As I entered the sparring hall with this thought in mind, I saw a wide deck in the middle of the sparring hall. I couldn’t believe it, but it was like that.
‘Anyway, I’m afraid he’s someone’s younger brother, so his appearance on the mound is terrifying.’
Even though he was wearing a robe, the angry devil was clearly visible on the dean’s back.
Who would look at that devil and think the Dean is a wizard?
“Ah. “Cardinal, are you here?”
At that time, the angry devil disappeared and the benevolent face of the teacher appeared.
For the first time in a long time, Jun bent his waist at a right angle. It was because I felt like if I behaved as arrogantly as usual, an angry devil would appear again in place of the benevolent teacher.
Hehe. Take it easy. “Like when we first met.”
“Sorry. At that time, she was out of her mind because Elysia was in danger. But even then, I don’t think I was that rude.”
“Yes. That’s what I think.”
“…”
When Jun looked at him in bewilderment, the dean laughed and said it was a joke.
Jun sighed softly, thinking that he was going to be harder to deal with than Franco.
“Seeing that you arrived safely, it seems like you met Professor Tony properly.”
“Yes, we met.”
“What are your first impressions? Was it okay? If it’s okay with you, I recommend learning space magic from him.”
“You want me to decide based on first impressions? “Isn’t it decided based on the lecture content?”
“After all, the professor’s impression is important in a lecture. If the professor doesn’t give you a good impression, you won’t want to listen to the lecture, no matter how good it is.”
Jun nodded his head in agreement.
This is because he felt this keenly in his past life. If the social welfare introduction professor from his past life appeared in front of him, Jun was confident that he would blow up the unlucky man’s face without hesitation.
After that, the dean’s silly jokes continued, and thanks to that, Jun’s tension gradually eased.
Unlike having a devil on his back, he was a great professor who could understand the feelings of his students.
“Okay, let’s end the small talk and begin the actual lecture. No, let me say one more thing before that. Do you know that?”
“What do you mean?”
When Jun tilted his head, the dean said.
Both eyes shining with madness.
“A sufficiently developed body cannot be distinguished from magic.”
With those words, the dean’s lecture began.
For reference, the title of the lecture was ‘Introduction to the History of Power’.
