I Don’T Have Any Magic Power But I’M Having A Blast At The Academy 66
66
Geoerg of Indolence.
He was, as his title suggested, the most indolent person in this world.
Therefore, unless it was a truly exceptional case, he wouldn’t move from his abode all year round, 365 days.
One could say he was a recluse of the corner.
“Even the one who just arrived is a fake.”
Leaning back in his chair, Geoerg, whether the other Mines listened or not, spoke lazily in a sluggish voice, devoid of any soul.
That figure was a puppet created by Geoerg, inserting his own fragment of ‘consciousness’ into it.
“Explain.”

Seemingly too lazy to even speak, Geoerg, ending his greedy words about wanting the divine pearls, put the pipe in his mouth.
A man in a black robe who had been standing behind him stepped forward, removing his hat.
Under the robe, the face revealed was that of a man with closely cropped silver hair, and a remarkably kind appearance.
As the man’s face was revealed, the Mines buzzed with excitement.
“Norton?”
“Why is he here...”
“Became a Mine?”
Most reactions were filled with discomfort and disbelief.
Understandably so, the man had been at the forefront hunting Mines just a few years ago.
The former leader of the Dawn Guardians, the player of the Hymn of Rest, Norton.
Norton’s appearance stirred excitement in the room.
Geoerg, who had been puffing on his pipe, casually waved his hand.
Instantly, the excitement dissipated as if washed away.
Looking around, he asked, “Is there anyone among you who can break through the Seal of Eunga and retrieve the divine pearls?”
“...”
None of the Mines present had an answer.
Understandable, as breaking through the Seal of Eunga was something no Mine could possibly achieve.
A seal that completely excluded magic. The divine pearls lay dormant at the heart of that seal.
Therefore, within the Mine Association, no one had ever considered going after the divine pearls.
Hence, when Geoerg mentioned going after the divine pearls, no Mine believed it would succeed. However, what followed from Geoerg was quite astonishing.
“Norton has a way to break through that seal.”
“!”
“Could that really be possible...”
“Are you truly believing his words?”
“He must be lying.”
Despite the skeptical responses, Geoerg’s expression remained unwavering.
“I confirmed it myself.”
“······.”
At those words, Jangnae fell silent as if a mouse had died.
Although Bongmajin was at the center of the Eungga, no one had the courage to refute Georg’s claim, as it was unclear how he had confirmed it.
Georg, who would kill Min as easily as insects when bored, made everyone avoid eye contact by simply glancing around.
“Tsk, like bugs.”
With a gesture suggesting to continue, Georg nodded at Norton. Norton, who showed gratitude by bowing slightly, spoke up.
“As Georg-nim says, I cannot eliminate Bongmajin, but I know a way to distort its nature.”
“······.”
Noticing the uncomfortable expressions of the Mines, Norton began to explain the plan with composure.
“In four days, the Hae Shin Yeon will be held in Eungga.”
Hae Shin Yeon.
It was an event where the magical stone, ‘Pearl of Hae Shin,’ which turned Eungga into the land of magical veins, would be publicly displayed.
Despite the risk of the Pearl of Hae Shin being stolen, they would boldly present it to the public to demonstrate their power and recruit sponsors.
Norton was suggesting to reclaim the Pearl of Hae Shin at that Hae Shin Yeon.
“For this, I have planted the [Seed of Ama] in the guardian of Eungga, Haegeom Eunhoseong.”
“Did you also receive a ring?”
“You’re asking the obvious.”
The guy proudly raised the ring on his index finger, smiling smugly.
Then, sensing something was off, he furrowed his brow.
“You, this guy, seem suspicious? Following me around, talking differently? Take off your mask.”
“Shut up, you damn bastard.”
“What?”
Grr!
Energy surged in response to the guy’s shocked expression.
“Gah! This son of a b-“
Thud!
My energy surged back into the bastard’s face.
“Argh!”
The fiend, with a twisted face, rushed at me, swinging a fist crackling with magic.
Whoosh!
A dark fist cleaved through the air. But it couldn’t advance any closer to me.
“What the-!”
His eyes widened in disbelief as his fist, pushed back, was deflected by the expansive ‘elasticity’ of my energy.
“Gah!”
Gathering my energy again, I struck the scoundrel’s jaw, watching him fall to the ground.
“Just a pathetic kid.”
For my aura to be clearly visible, the condition was that the opponent had to be significantly weaker than me; being faintly visible didn’t mean I was weaker than him.
He was merely a “Ringbearer,” barely at the level of hanging on a ring, far from the caliber needed for a raid on a banquet hall.
“I guess I’ll have to erase his memory?”
I muttered to myself as I looked down at the unconscious guy.
If he fainted from a blow by a lower-ranked individual, I wasn’t sure, but he seemed to have sensed something suspicious about me, prompting him to request I remove my mask.
Perhaps due to his unconscious state, his aura was less hazy than before.
Still erratic and darting around, making it difficult to pinpoint, but...
“I suppose I’ll keep hitting until it lands.”
Since it was already done, there was no point in holding back. If he didn’t go down with one hit, then two, three would do. After that, I could forcibly wake him and deal with it.
With that plan in mind, I stood up, brushing off my hands.
“Hah!”
A gasp echoed as the guy I had targeted earlier returned and spotted us, startled.
“Just go away.”
As I gestured, the guy who had swallowed his groans turned and left again.
The assembly hall was unique, but fights among mine were a common sight.
Alone again in the space, I managed to partially shatter his aura.
“Phew. Finally broke through.”
It was tough at first, but now I had a sense of it.
Finally, after neatly wrapping things up, I stood up from my seat, feeling refreshed.
“Oh, right. The ring.”
Belatedly recalling my original goal, I retrieved the ring from the unconscious guy.
That was the moment the gathering came to an end.
“Phew-“
“······!”
At the sound from behind, I stood still in my place.
Someone was standing right behind me.
A chill ran down my spine.
It was a shiver so intense that it made goosebumps rise all over my body.
“Hmm, interesting.”
A lazy voice mixed with laughter. I slowly turned around.
“So, it’s finally over.”
With a face buried in fat, eyes curved like a crescent moon, the man smiling behind me was the lazy mine, Georg.
