I Don’T Have Any Magic Power But I’M Having A Blast At The Academy 27
27
“Ugh, I’m gonna die. Why on earth are they doing this. Seriously.”
Patrolling the forest path behind the Eternity Academy’s student dormitories, agent Park Sangcheol grumbled.
Due to most agents being called to the arena for the inter-grade match, the outer boundaries of Eternity had somewhat loosened.
Therefore, Park Sangcheol was patrolling more areas than usual.
However, there were areas where patrolling seemed unnecessary.
For example, the forest path of the student dormitories he was currently patrolling was one of those areas. This place was a zone where magical barriers were set up, barring entry to anyone other than academy personnel.
But wasn’t it just his imagination? The sniper who had disappeared a while ago to relieve himself still hadn’t returned.
“This guy must be making a whole lot of pee.”
It was when Park Sangcheol, with a dry tongue, was sitting on the steps of a nearby outpost, staring at his watch, that a figure appeared on the forest path.
“Well, you’re here rather quickly.”
Park Sang-cheol, who had determined that the marksman had returned, stood up from his seat and froze in surprise.
“······Hm?”
The figure that appeared on the forest path was not the marksman.
It was a man emitting an inexplicable ominous aura with a dark complexion.
However, Park Sang-cheol’s astonishment was not due to the man’s eerie atmosphere.
‘···The smell of blood!’
A sharp scent of blood wafted through the air.
Sensing that the marksman had been killed, Park Sang-cheol reflexively fired his gun. Exactly three shots.
Although they were ordinary bullets without any magical charge, even such bullets can be deadly at close range.
But to his astonishment, the bullets passed straight through the man without causing any harm.
“Missed!”
As Park Sang-cheol’s eyes widened in shock, his gaze suddenly jerked. That was the end.
Park Sang-cheol’s severed head rolled off, and his headless body fell backward.
“······.”
The man emitting the ominous aura, Main Gun Jun-myeong, silently looked down at Park Sang-cheol’s corpse. Three more people appeared on the forest path.
Among them, Gun Jun-myeong patted the shoulder of Emerson, a disciple of Eternity.
“Thank you, things went smoothly thanks to you.”
Thanks to Emerson’s help, Gun Jun-myeong and his colleagues were able to enter Eternity without any hindrance.
It was the result of the influence of the Romano family name in the Academy.
And Emerson’s eyes trembled as he looked at the dead body of Park Sang-cheol.
A sense of something seriously wrong echoed in his mind, but Emerson quickly pushed it aside.
‘This is inevitable.’
For Emerson to survive, he had no choice but to do this.
Without Gun Jun-myeong, he would have died immediately. There was a reason for Emerson’s situation.
A year ago, Emerson had tasted the sensation of increasing magic power by swallowing the magic pills provided by Gun Jun-myeong.
At that time, Emerson could demonstrate superior skills compared to other disciples.
It was a whole new world for Emerson.
Although he tried to find magic pills elsewhere, he couldn’t feel the same sense of fulfillment as the one provided by Gun Jun-myeong’s magic pills.
Because of that, Emerson couldn’t stop himself from becoming dependent on Gun Jun-myeong’s magic pills.
However, at some point, Emerson began to feel his own magic power diminishing.
This terrible phenomenon could only be alleviated with the magic pills provided by Gun Jun-myeong.
As a result, despite knowing that Gun Jun-myeong was trying to use him, Emerson found himself in a position where he had no choice but to listen to him.
“You let me in, so give me the magic pills quickly.”
“Oh, of course, I will give them to you.”
Gun Jun-myeong took out a black herb from his pocket.
When Emerson reached out for it, Gun Jun-myeong pulled his hand back and said,
“Before that, I have one more request.”
“What is it?”
“Can you bring Amelia Romano here for me?”
“Oh, Amelia? She doesn’t listen to me······”
Emerson’s voice trembled in surprise, and Koo Junmyung reassured him, saying, “Don’t worry.”
“Then just hand over one item,” Koo Junmyung said.
When Koo Junmyung raised his hand, a giant figure lurking behind him handed a black pouch to Emerson.
“Give this to Amelia, but do not open it until then.”
“Th-this is a Mana Seed...”
Seeing Emerson’s anxious expression, Koo Junmyung chuckled and tossed a black herb to him.
“...?”
Amelia narrowed her eyes at Emerson, who handed her a black pouch.
“What is this... oh!”
Amelia, who absentmindedly opened the pouch, staggered for a moment. Dizziness set in, making it difficult to contain her magic. It was from the moment she saw the red gem inside the pouch, the Bloodstone.
As if inhaling poisonous fumes, the energy of the Bloodstone seeped into her body.
“...Dangerous!”
Instinct sounded the alarm. It was an extremely dangerous situation right now.
Forcing her unresponsive body to move, Amelia made her way to the window.
Unable to trust Emerson, she was determined to somehow get away from the window.
Although it was the second floor of the dormitory, she jumped without hesitation.
Fortunately, since her magic was still somewhat operational, the impact of the landing was less severe than expected.
“...Ugh.”
As Amelia, who had fallen onto the grass, tried to get up frowning, a black figure loomed over her head.
“Amelia Romano.”
“...!”
Amelia slowly raised her head.
“I found you.”
A man with a dull expression was looking down at her with a greedy look.

It didn’t take long for the fact that there was a terror incident at the main building of Eternity to be known to the disciples as well.
“Smoke is rising from the main building.”
“Is it really a terror attack?”
“This seems dangerous.”
The rising smoke and the approaching magi from the main building signaled the invasion of enemies.
“Everyone, stay quiet!”
“Don’t leave the training ground, stay put and wait!”
While the disciples were in turmoil, the instructors took charge and led them to wait inside the training ground.
Of course, I couldn’t just wait quietly inside the training ground.
Since Amelia’s death sentence appeared, staying still was impossible.
Having been the first to notice the situation, even before the instructors’ control began, I was already making my way out of the training ground.
There was no need to be cautious of my surroundings.
Thanks to the ability I gained by defeating Uscal, no one paid attention to me.
As I made my way out of the training ground, I noticed agents running towards the main building.
But I knew that the main building was not the only target of the terror.
‘The dormitory.’
While attention was drawn to the main building, the disciples’ dormitory was also exposed to the threat of terror.
Amelia, along with many disciples, was in the dormitory.
And I knew the identity of the magi appearing in Amelia’s death sentence.
‘Hogwi Gu Junmyeong.’
A magus who, under certain conditions, ignores external attacks.
‘Then the main building must be under attack by the Cruits.’
Modified magi created to confront the magus. They are collectively known as Cruits.
These Cruits boast formidable vitality when facing magi.
‘Although it seems like it will be taken care of on its own...’
Currently, not only instructors and agents but also magi from external guilds were waiting in Eternity. It would take a little time, but the terror in the main building would soon be suppressed.
However, considering the damage that could occur in the meantime, there was a need to shorten the time.
“There! What are you doing here instead of going into the training ground!”
As I released my presence, a man who seemed to be an agent noticed me and approached.
Coincidentally, he seemed to be a man with some authority judging by the insignia on his shoulder.
“The Cruits that appeared in the main building have a weakness in the lower abdomen.”
“...What? What do you mean by that?”
“I mean they have a weakness in the lower abdomen. Attack them there.”
The man, who was about to ask a question, suddenly saw me disappear, looked around in confusion, then quickly ran towards the main building.
“I’ve said enough, they should understand.”
Watching his reaction for a moment, I headed towards the disciples’ dormitory. There was no hesitation in my steps.
In the territory of Saengdo-dong, I was sufficient on my own.
