An awkward atmosphere swept through the break room.
‘What do you want to take off?’
I rolled my eyes reflexively. The words in my ear sounded rather obscene.
It’s not that the atmosphere was strange.
As I entered, the door was locked, and Baek A-rin took off the thin outerwear she was wearing, and told to take off my clothes…
‘No, that can’t be.’
I had a strange thought because of the situation, but I quickly changed my mind.
If it was soone else I didn’t know, Baek A-rin wouldn’t be the type to suddenly say sothing like that…
‘Isn’t that so?’
I tilted my head.
Baek A-rin is a person with many strange corners. On the surface, she always looks bright and sociable, but underneath, she also shows a cold personality.
People can’t be completely flat, but Baek A-rin was the type with strong contrasts.
I forgot because he treated so kindly these days, but in the original, he even stabbed the player in the back to death.
When I thought about that, I unconsciously stepped back.
“Ha-yul? Co here. The lecture will start soon, so I don’t have ti.”
Baek A-rin, who had just taken off her outerwear, tilted her head and gestured to . The curve of her large chest, which was covered by her outerwear, was clearly visible.
She sat in the middle of the long sofa, placed her outerwear on one side, and patted the seat next to her, urging on.
[Why… clothes all of a sudden…?]
“Huh? Oh~ Did I say sothing strange?”
[Yes]
When I asked hesitantly, Baek A-rin let out an exclamation. Then she smiled strangely mischievously.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t an anything bad. It's just that I felt the energy of the sea from Ha-yul."
[Sea?]
"Yes, did you use the sea before you ca?"
Yes, you did. I ca here after calming the raging fire from the sea.
[How did you know that?]
What surprised was sothing else.
Unlike last ti, I didn't directly witness the manifestation, but I noticed the traces left after the manifestation. I, who has magical affinity, erased the traces. Even a person with sensing ability wouldn't notice it?
[Does Baek A-rin have sensing ability?]
"No? I just felt it with magical affinity."
[How could I do that with normal sensing ability...]
"I can do that too... Oh, right."
As I felt puzzled, Baek A-rin, who had also tilted her head, suddenly clapped her hands.
"It didn't happen to other people, but I could sense Ha-yul's sea."
[My Changhae?]
“Yes, yes, is it because I feel a sense of similarity? If you look closely, you can feel it clearly.”
‘Saness… homogenization?’
I managed my expression that was about to change without knowing. It was just a guess, but I guessed the reason at first glance.
The Changhae I use is an imitation through homogenization. While the fear has settled in and beco my own uniqueness, Changhae is clearly a temporary imitation.
Imitation ans imitating sothing else.
The Changhae I implent is based on Baek A-rin’s Changhae.
‘Can the original feel the imitation better…?’
It’s an unexpected problem. It’s just a guess, but it seems right. Of course, the imitation derived from will have similarities.
“I’ll clean it up. It’s a trace so faint that even I can’t detect it, but if I get caught outside, what kind of trouble will it cause?”
[I can handle it.]
“So you’re just dribbling around like that? Co on. The lecture will start soon, so I’ll do it right away.”
[But…]
“Oh, my… ‘Baek Ha-yool’ keeps hitting you? Isn’t he nice?”
[I’m not Baek…]
I tossed and turned for a while.
In the end, I slowly headed toward Baek A-rin because the lecture was about to start and because of the small threat about Baek Ha-yul.
Baek A-rin, who sat down, smiled and grabbed the bottom of my shirt, pulling it up.
Then she placed her palm on my stomach. Her cool, smooth palm covered my belly button and rubbed it.
- Shh…
My body shuddered. Baek A-rin’s magic, which had entered through my stomach, began to calmly organize the energy of the sea by tapping it.
[Do I really have to put my hand on my stomach like this?]
“It’s because the chest and stomach are more efficient. It’s also easier to inject and manipulate magic. Didn’t you hear an explanation from Yeonhwa?”
[I heard it, but it tickles…]
“It’ll be over soon, so just hold on for a bit, Baek Ha-yul?”
[Not Mr. Baek…]
[Heh]
[T-Don’t press like that…]
“Huh? Did it hurt? Um… Can I put sothing in your hand for a mont?”
[Back!]
[Don’t stick that out!]
.

- Wiiing
As I entered the classroom with Baek A-rin, I was t with a barrage of glances.
The gazes were a little different than before.
The awkwardness was strong when I first entered, but now the gazes that alternately looked at and Baek A-rin were clearly filled with curiosity.
- What were you two doing just now?
- I don’t know, when I saw Diria coming, she said she went into the break room? She even locked the door…
- Huh
As I sat down quietly, the conversations around continued.
It was a small voice that made the onomatopoeia “whisper whisper” co to mind. Even for a superhuman, it was at a level that you wouldn’t be able to hear unless you put your ear right next to it.
But I could hear it well. Even if you couldn’t hear it, you could still read it with lip-reading through observation.
‘The rumors are like this…’
My expression beca unknowingly cold. The rumors spread one by one like that. Of course.
Of course, since there were people like Hong Yeon-hwa and Baek A-rin among the people involved in the rumor, no one would dare speak carelessly.
You wouldn’t want to receive mail in your mailbox saying, “We are from such-and-such family, so if you don’t want to get lost, co find us.”
However, since the scene of the rumor is happening right next to you, it feels strange.
But you can’t just go up to them and tell them to shut up.
I kept my expressions and quietly downloaded the lecture materials.
.
.
.
“This is the first 『Practical Workshop Writing』 lecture of this sester. Due to various circumstances, we started a little later than the other lectures, but I will conduct the lecture so that there are no disruptions to the progress, so don’t worry.”
『Practical Workshop Writing』 lecture.
As the na suggests, it is a lecture about a wizard’s workshop.
“You probably already read the outline, but let explain again. My na is Friedrich Hermann. Before retirent, he was active in the African Magic Front as a high-ranking hero. Although he is now retired, he ca to the stage to teach the knowledge and experience he had accumulated at that ti.”
The professor standing on the stage was a man with a fierce look.
He had a stiff expression and speech like a soldier, and his thick muscular body could not be hidden even by the robe he was wearing.
He was trying to keep himself in check, but the aura he observed showed that his history of activity in the Magic Front was not a lie.
“This subject will be conducted mainly with practice. The evaluation is also the sa. Since there are many other excellent lectures on the theoretical aspect, I plan to teach the construction of attacks and tactics that can be used in actual combat.”
Attacks and defenses were also taught in the first sester’s 『Basic Magic Theory (Ⅰ)』 lecture, but that lecture was more theoretical. Since it was a basic theory subject that simply covered the theory, the proportion of practice was very small.
This lecture, on the contrary, focuses on practice rather than theory. So, it wasn’t a theoretical professor like last ti, but a professor who retired after rolling around in the field.
‘There may be a lot of knowledge about the Tower of Knowledge, but… It’s better to learn the basics.’
For any magician, the workshop is an indispensable skill in any way. However, I’ve never made a big workshop.
At the beginning of the first sester, I didn’t even have the basic skills to build a workshop.
Later, when I had the skills to try making a workshop… For various reasons, I didn’t have the conditions to make one.
Rather than spending ti and effort to make a shabby workshop, I could have just used the power of space to get the effect of the workshop.
Even if I made it, the output would be weaker than hitting a fear or white night, and the speed and fuel efficiency would be lower than spirit magic…
Above all, there was no situation where I could use it.
In the first place, I had no situation where I could make a workshop and defend it.
However, there’s no reason to not do that in the future. I’m going to learn magic, but it’s stupid not to learn how to create a workshop.
“Then let’s start the lecture.”
The professor said that while making eye contact with the students inside the classroom.
He flinched slightly when he saw my eyes closed, but he didn’t point it out much, perhaps because the rumor that I could recognize up, down, left, and right was already well-spread.
At the beginning of the sester, I was called by many professors with this and asked if it was okay… but now I didn’t hear any such words. I was deeply moved.
- Woohoo…
The desk in front of the students started to operate.
Magic flowed through the desk. The engraved spell activated. Soon, a hologram suddenly appeared on the desk.
It wasn’t a shape that printed letters like a blackboard. It was a square, translucent hologram.
“This ti,
In this ti, we will cover the simple thod of creating a workshop foundation. This hologram is an auxiliary device that helps you create a workshop. Please note that this is a function that is only used in the beginning when you are not familiar with creating a workshop.”
That is how the lecture began.
As the advance notice of ‘practical’ suggests, we started creating a workshop at the sa ti as the theory.
When I glanced around, everyone was waving their hands that had been inserted into the hologram. Their fingertips were filled with magic. The hands were scribbled and filled in various spells.
‘Hmm…’
Magic is activated by inserting magic into a spell. Different magic is manifested depending on the spell, and the higher the level of magic, the more extraordinary and complex the spell becos.
A workshop is a technique that requires fitting together such various spells like a puzzle. And it is not about inserting one or two, but rather, hundreds of them must be inserted easily.
You can’t just insert them randomly. Hundreds of spells must fit together properly.
Otherwise…
- Crunch
“Ahhh…”
It suddenly collapsed like that.
A cadet’s hologram turned red. And Crunch- With a chanical sound, part of the spell he had painstakingly constructed ca crashing down. The cadet’s face crumpled. He was a first-year cadet who had already destroyed several defenses.
In fact, most first-year cadets were similar to him. More than half of them had a look of confusion on their faces, unable to find the foundation.
On the other hand, the second-year cadets and above were designing their defenses in a familiar manner.
“The axis of the foundation was set incorrectly. If you set it to that location, it could clash with the protective spell and cause the defense to collapse in an ergency.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“The location of the axis depends on the area of the defense you are setting…”
The professor pointed out the cadet’s problems and solutions.
The professor’s next target, who had been teaching the cadets who were having trouble finding the foundation, was .
“Hmm… ”
Ttukbukttukbuk- The professor who approached carefully scanned my hologram. The professor’s eyes, which seed to be focused for a mont, moved around.
“The axis and the outer periter, the tuning and the protection spells are all working perfectly, and the counterattack settings are also well-made. Excellent.”
[Thank you]
I nodded indifferently at the professor’s praise.
I am also the owner of magic affinity. Of course, I should be able to do it. Of course, with my current magic, I couldn’t inflict any significant damage on the twin-headed dragon or the second round…
A mont later. In any case, all the cadets ford a simple attack and defense.
There were many crooked and sloppy corners, but for now, a small attack and defense was established.
“Then, we will proceed with the attack and defense performance test. Please choose a partner to take charge of defense and attack.”
At the professor’s words, the cadets looked around and looked for a partner. Many of the eyes flew at , and they were people who wanted to beco friends for the purpose of friendship.
Most of them were pairing up with people they were already familiar with.
So were rolling their eyes and looking around. It seed like there weren’t any students who had beco friends with anyone who had taken the class.
“Tsk…”
The person next to was the sa. He looked like he couldn’t find a partner.
A male student with hair neatly swept back. A face as hard as a statue.
I glanced at his natag.
He was a green first-year student, the sa grade as .
‘Baize Dietrich.’
I know his na. It’s not because I’m observing him now, but because I knew him from the original.
Well, he’s a main character. He’s not as good as Hong Yeon-hwa or Baek A-rin, but he has the potential to beco a great student in the future.
In the 5th episode, he’s deeply intertwined with ‘Stupid Reverse Horse’.
He is the ‘wise magician’ who will later beco a certified magician of the Magic Circle.
Dreureuk- He pushed the chair and stood up. He approached him and tapped his shoulder.
[Hey, do you want to do it with ?]
"... Yes? Uh, with ?"
Baije asked with a blank expression.
- Thump
As that voice echoed, the surroundings beca quiet for a mont.
When I looked around wondering what was going on, everyone who had been pretending not to notice and glancing at was staring at .
“Huh.”
A strange sound rang out. Baek A-rin, who had been sneaking up on , opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with both hands.
“No, are you already tired of standing up to ?”
[Gyaaaaaaah!]
"Ah, ahh~ Don't hit ~ This is dostic violence~"
He swung the staff he took out from the subspace and chased away Baek A-rin who was giggling nonchalantly
