Chapter 11

Episode 11. Lucia, the plan, and when I arrived at Nickel’s swordsmanship

classroom, Lucia rubbed her vacant eyes and spoke to me.



“senior. Why are you wrapped up so tightly? Aren’t you hot?”

Lucia’s gaze at me was as if she were looking at a pervert.

Not only her, but all the students in the classroom turned to me once.

“I’m not feeling well.”

“Then why did you come out to rest?”

“You have to attend.”

“Are you surprised? To think that a senior takes care of attendance like that.”

Of course you have to

I have a scholarship at stake.

“Anyway, he’s an eccentric senior.”

“I don’t want to hear from you.”

Are you doing this because you like me?

Because of what happened the day before, I had no choice but to wear a scarf.

I felt suspicious when I wore a scarf, so I took out my winter clothes and put them on, but I felt like I was steaming to death.

‘Whenever.’

The reason I do this is none other than the scars.

I couldn’t erase the sharp fang marks on my neck.

But if I show this off and Caron sees or finds out, I’m sure he’ll catch me.

‘I’m glad I didn’t die, but I’m doing nasty pranks like this.’

Whew. What can I do?

I have to endure the weak.

The day before, Angela said that she would keep one promise, bit my neck, and disappeared with the words that I would see her again.

The promise she kept was that she would save me.

The promise not kept was to kill Charon.

Even if it wasn’t because of the promise, it was doubtful that she would just go, but the question is just a question.

I was just grateful that I survived.

“Hum hum.”

The Herbology professor entered the auditorium.

As soon as he arrived, he took one look at me and frowned.

“Are there students?”

“yes.”

“Why are you doing that? Where are you sick?”

“Yeah, I have a little cold.”

“If you feel sick, just go in. I’ll check your completion of the lecture.”

Oh yeah.

I immediately got up and bowed my head in gratitude.

“thank you. professor.”

“okay. What is your name?”

“This is Adrias Cromwell.”

“Adrias?”

The professor suddenly stopped moving and looked at me, taking his eyes off the roll.

However, his eyes were glistening with hostility.

“iced coffee. you are that student You made a new potion?”

“yes. you’re right.”

“Were you the one who said hornfish in class last time?”

“... ... yes.”

what? Is the atmosphere strange?

Why is the atmosphere of the interrogation room all of a sudden?

“I don’t know why they left me, a professor of herbal medicine. Have I ever been a burden to you? I could have given you some advice.”

It was because of this.

In a word, it’s his specialty, so why didn’t he share the rice cakes? You mean this?

funny kid

When I asked, he was being sarcastic.

“I know I must have asked for advice at that time.”

“what?”

“As the professor said, I know I asked a question during the last class. They were just ingredients for a potion I invented.”

“Isn’t that what I mean? Do you take classes alone? Of course, at that time, the lecture was conducted so as not to disturb other students.”

“So you’re saying that I should have gone to see you separately after class?”

“... ... Your words are a bit aggressive.”

ah i don’t know

Just run into it!

I’m an 8-ton truck with a broken steering wheel!

Kim Jin-hwan, who has been combined with Adrias, has an intolerable personality!

“I don’t know why I had to ask the professor for advice. What does it mean to have a good social life? It’s embarrassing for me to say such a thing casually after you only sarcasticized a student who asked a question in class in the first place.”

shouted

screamed cool

Professor Bubban’s face, which had turned red at my words, trembled.

Even with that much money.

So she studied and researched on her own.

Of course, as I continued studying and researching, only despair and frustration increased.

Thanks to this environment, she had no friends by her side.

At first, he was teeming with people trying to get close to him because of his background and appearance, but eventually they all fell apart.

Is that why?

Even though it was only a week, Adrias accepted all of his unusual words and actions, and it was amazing.

Recently, he has been exercising unlike a wizard, so I thought that this person must be unusual.

‘A wizard is an exercise. It’s that gloomy seaweed Adrias.’

I thought I could get off my sore throat by now.

‘Then is it Seaweed Adrias? Seaweed... ... .’

foot.

The students who were listening to the lecture turned to her as they burst into laughter.

However, after checking the face of the person who smiled, I moved on.

‘A senior would have said something.’

Why?

It was Lucia who missed Adrias’ nagging even though they had just broken up.

Time left after a long time.

My lecture schedule was unexpectedly tight, so I had no days off except for weekends.

‘I was busy with potion research that weekend too.’

Even if it wasn’t for potion research, it was mostly Karon’s errands on weekends.

‘Now, what should I do at this time to spread rumors that I did well?’

First, there were three options.

Potion-making exercise magic training.

Of course, I have to do all three consistently, but what I have to decide now is a detailed plan.

Honestly, in the case of potion making, I wouldn’t have cared much if it wasn’t for the bet with Bahat.

Even if you think about betting, there are still close to four months left this year, so the burden wasn’t too great.

In addition, Bahat even gave me a separate card and told me to do research to my heart’s content during this year without worrying about material costs.

‘Because I also have a talent for making potions.’

Of course, it’s just a crime, and it doesn’t help.

but... ... .

[Adrias Cromwell: 41% chance of evolution of potion manufacturing buffs]

The evolution chance has risen by 9%.

It’s something I learned in a few days, but in the case of the possibility of evolution, it was like proficiency.

It was a way that the more experience you gained, the higher your chances were.

‘If I fail to evolve, can I try again?’

This was still a question, but I was planning to raise the possibility to a safe number and evolve it just in case.

And unlike this, the window that other talents can evolve has not opened yet.

It seems like I need to build up my proficiency just like when I made potions... ... .

‘The problem is that I can’t use black magic at will.’

This is the biggest problem for me right now.

Black magic training was impossible unless there was a hidden private laboratory like Charon.

‘Does the skill level increase just by summoning it for a moment?’

It was sudden, but I had a crazy idea that it would be okay if I just dressed Nickel roughly and covered her appearance well.

I wondered if there would be any reason to summon it in the room anyway, and there would be no reason for it to be discovered, and I just wondered if it would be okay if someone witnessed it and didn’t immediately notice that it was a skeleton.

Therefore, I immediately summoned Nickel.

[Summon a Skeleton Soldier]

Immediately, nickel came out of the dark subspace.

What do you want in there?

“It’s been a while Nickel. Put on your clothes first.”

I put on Nickel the thick winter coat I had been wearing.

At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary person.

“Is your skill level going up now?”

When you raised a summoner character, your proficiency as well as your skill level rose just by summoning it.

I had to check if the necromancer was the same.

―Black Magic: Basic Necromancer (20/100) > > Skeleton Summon LV3

Hmm, I’ll have to wait and see.

When I glanced at the nickel with the mastery window open, he was holding a strange pose and swinging his arms up and down.

“What are you doing?”

At my question, he looked at me as if he had been interrupted, and then wrote in the air.

“training?”

and this guy

It’s my skeleton, but the concept is clear.

It was clear that he had his own unique characteristics, as if he was not the one who died while swinging the sword.

So, even after becoming an Aura Master, he must have died swinging his sword.

... ... for a moment?

A sudden thought hit my head.

“Nickel. Could you teach me some swordsmanship?”
