    ◈ Episode 210 Ancient Language (1)

    “…I know there is a secret recipe book of ancient people. But how do you know that? “The Larsil language is a script that many archaeologists have tried to understand but no real progress has been made in its interpretation.”

    “That’s because I succeeded.”

    “….”

    Casey pursed his lips.

    I had no idea that the word “success” would come out so lightly.

    “No no wait a minute. Then why didn’t you announce it until now? “Just making this known could cause a huge uproar in the archaeological community.”

    “Are you stupid?”

    “what?”

    “I guess you still don’t quite understand my situation. “Do you think there would be anyone who would believe it if an unidentified person who could interpret the Larsil language appeared out of nowhere?”

    “But if you show it with your skills….”

    “The world of archeology is closely related to the ancient magic school of the Tower of Exorcism. In fact today’s archeology is not interested in the culture of past people. “I’m interested in the origins of relics and the magic used in the past.”

    And the Exorcist Tower is a group whose evils are so deeply rooted that they are not easily changed.

    Although it has improved a bit now that it is competing with the God Demon Tower the fundamentals are still the same.

    “I couldn’t believe I would hand over my research materials to a place that is still full of paper fraud and academic journal corruption. “I’d rather bite my tongue.”

    On the other hand now that he had built up a reputation as a teacher in Seorn he couldn’t even mess with the Exorcism Tower so it was a good environment for him to step forward.

    This research even received direct permission from the president.

    In other words it means that the president was behind the scenes to proceed.

    “ha. okay. I understand the situation. “Then are you planning to announce all of this?”

    “What I am doing is proving through experiments that this method exists and that it is not a lie. “Of course I have no intention of revealing the detailed plan.”

    “Well that might be your livelihood. But if this valuable information is released there will be more people targeting it right?”

    If you can increase the amount of magical power released it will mean you can grow to another level as a wizard.

    It is like a ray of salvation coming down to a magician who has not been able to raise the pure magical power and hierarchy.

    There are wizards in the world who are no longer able to develop their existing skills and have become corrupted reaching into black magic.

    Considering that there are quite a few people who have even forgotten the taboo Ludger’s knowledge is very sweet.

    That’s why it’s dangerous.

    All kinds of flying insects are attracted to fragrant flowers.

    “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

    “That is something I will take care of. “Pay attention.”

    “Oh okay. You did very well. Even if people worry about me I always say that.”

    “I’m so grateful that you worry about me that I’m about to cry.”

    “The words are very clear. “How can you not say a word?”

    “That’s it. I think I drank all the tea. Since I’m done with my business will you please leave? “There has been a long delay.”

    “What? “I still want to ask…”

    “Go quickly.”

    Ludger said that and created wind that made Casey’s body float.

    “uh? “Now wait a minute!”

    Casey who was embarrassed and probably didn’t know how to use magic here couldn’t react.

    The wind carried Casey out of the teacher’s office and threw him into the hallway.

    bean.

    “evil!”

    Casey who hit his butt on the floor narrowed his eyes and looked back.

    The door to the teacher’s office was tightly closed.

    “Si. “No manners for the lady.”

    Casey fingered her throbbing ass. Fortunately it didn’t seem like there were any bruises or anything.

    ‘Still I gained something.’

    She took out a piece of paper from her inside pocket.

    What should have been white originally was stained blue.

    ‘I never thought he would use magic at the end. Did scratching that man’s temper help?’

    Thanks to this I got kicked out and my butt hurt but I achieved what I wanted.

    ‘For sure this time.’

    Casey pledged that way glared at the teacher’s office and took a step forward.

    Lunch time.

    Ludger came to the restaurant with his fellow teachers for the first time in a long time.

    “It’s been a long time since we gathered together and ate like this since the festival. lol.”

    “okay.”

    Selina sitting next to Ludger said that with a warm smile.

    Ludger was also happy because it had been a while since he had had such a casual meeting.

    “But… Mr. Brino doesn’t look very good.”

    Brino who sat across from Ludger looked quite haggard compared to before the festival.

    Should I say that people are lazy?

    He was originally a person with a lot of flesh but he was quite depressed probably because he was going through a lot of emotional distress.

    “That happened. yes.”

    Brino answered weakly.

    Just as I was wondering if something bad was happening Selina cautiously whispered next to me.

    ‘Mr Ludger. ‘Didn’t you hear?’

    ‘What do you mean?’

    When Ludger suddenly leaned in and asked Selina’s face turned red.

    ‘What happened to Mr. Brino?’

    ‘Oh no I mean… I heard that Mr. Brino’s golem was stolen on the last day of the festival.’

    ‘…ah.’

    The moment I heard those words I could barely think of Ludger.

    The appearance of a brass-colored golem that melted while fighting Quasimodo.

    I was so busy with things that I forgot about it.

    ‘…I’m sorry. ‘Mr. Brino.’

    Unable to tell the truth Ludger made a sincere apology to Brino.

    Later… let’s at least give him a gift.

    As I was thinking that Merilda opened her mouth.

    “I think I’ve been so busy these days that I haven’t seen your face. “Mr. Ludger.”

    “It was a little busy.”

    “I heard the news. “I heard you are preparing some kind of research this time?”

    Merilda said and gave Selina a glance.

    Selina who was dazed by that intense gaze belatedly became hot! And I came to my senses.

    “That’s right. I heard it too. “Are you exploring new magic or something like that?”

    “It’s not new magic. There is no suggestion of a new paradigm. However it is something that quite a lot of wizards would be excited about.”

    “Oh I read that official document.”

    Brino who was half out of his mind also reacted.

    “I heard you are conducting research to increase the amount of magical power released… Is that true?”

    “yes.”

    As Ludger nodded honestly exclamations flowed from his fellow teachers.

    “Wow really? However the amount of magical power released will not increase easily.”

    “It is true that there are clear limitations with the current method. “What I’m suggesting is closer to a new path.”

    “Does Mr. Ludger know of a new method?”

    “yes. And based on that we need results that can prove the research. That’s why we recruit students. However there was not much gathering right away.”

    “I guess so? maybe. “Students won’t easily believe it.”

    In fact now that the rumor has spread most people do not believe it.

    “I think I’ll take some time and watch.”

    “Then then.”

    Selina cried out in a nervous voice.

    “Can I… participate there?”

    “You mean Miss Selina?”

    “yes.”

    It was a courageous thing for Selina to say.

    If I participate in the research I will spend more time with Ludger.

    ‘Good job Selina!’

    Merilda also sent an autograph to Selina saying she did well.

    In fact Ludger lightly stroked his chin as if he was seriously considering the question.

    “Hmm. I’m grateful that Teacher Selina said so herself but I can’t judge it carelessly. “But since it’s the same teacher.”

    “ah….”

    “I will accept it with gratitude.”

    Ludger may have said this out of consideration for Selina but Selina couldn’t help but cry.

    ‘What should I do? ‘Mr. Merilda.’

    Selina gave Merilda a helping look but Merilda shook her head.

    Ludger was adamant in this regard and the possibility of being forceful here was significantly low.

    I have no choice but to look for the next opportunity.

    “The meal went well. “I will wake up first to see if there are any applicants.”

    “Ah Mr. Ludger. “How come you only ate meat today?”

    Ludger who was about to get up nodded hesitantly at Selina’s point.

    “Yeah whatever. “I think it will become difficult to eat meat in the future.”

    “yes?”

    “That happens. Then I hope you have a good meal.”

    Ludger said hello and stood up.

    * * *

    About three days have passed since Ludger posted the official notice.

    Increased horsepower output.

    The story that aroused the students’ interest on the first day seemed to have faded a bit on the third day.

    Most students even Mr. Ludger concluded that this was impossible.

    But it wasn’t just those students.

    ‘Honestly wouldn’t it be worth it if we were at a loss?’

    Flora Lumos with her brilliant mind thought that Ludger could not have said such a thing for no reason.

    If it’s to the point of posting an official document surely there must be some way?

    ‘Plus it even had the president’s permission stamp on it. Considering his personality he is not someone who would simply give permission for absurd research.’

    Maybe the president saw something else about Ludger’s research materials that others didn’t know about.

    And he probably allowed it because he saw the potential there.

    ‘There is enough possibility.’

    I thought a lot over the past three days but I was finally able to come to a conclusion.

    In this case not participating is actually a loss.

    However what you’re saying is that you’re going purely out of curiosity and enthusiasm as a magician.

    Honestly that wasn’t the case.

    ‘Because I received help that day. Yes that’s right. Since I received help I am just trying to help you with your research. ‘I have no personal interests.’

    Standing in front of the teacher’s office Flora calmed herself down and knocked politely.

    dripping.

    “teacher. This is Flora Lumos. “I came to apply after seeing the official letter.”

    “Come in.”

    Flora confidently headed into the teacher’s office.

    And saw.

    In addition to myself I saw several other guests who had already arrived.

    ‘Huh?’

    I thought I was the first to come but there were as many as five other people who came before me.

    “It came at the right time. “I’m glad that more people applied than I expected.”

    Ludger said that and looked at the students.

    From left to right.

    Aidan.

    Line.

    Erendir von Exilion.

    Julia Plumheart.

    Freuden Ulburg.

    Until the last arrival Flora Lumos.

    A total of 6 people applied at the same time.

    ‘If you look at their faces they are all extraordinary people.’

    A favorite child who is somehow special or has great talent.

    Just like Ludger the six people gathered also had similar thoughts.

    ‘what? ‘Why is he there?’

    ‘Who is that person….’

    ‘Senior is here too?’

    Among them Aidan was the most excited.

    ‘and. Perhaps because it was Professor Ludger’s research only outstanding people came. ‘Mr. Ludger can do that!’

    Aidan’s motivation for applying is pure longing and curiosity for magic.

    Originally I was going to apply right away on the first day but Leo tried hard to stop me so I applied secretly on the third day so I was late.

    ‘I have a problem with non-attribute magical power so maybe I can get a clue about this.’

    In the case of Line she had a chronic problem with her magic so she applied with the thought that Ludger might be able to fix it.

    ‘I can’t leave my first friend and junior alone!’

    When Erendir heard that Ryne was going he followed her just in case.

    In fact the real reason was that he didn’t want to be left alone but Erendir had already erased that fact from his mind.

    ‘What on earth did that teacher do to change Sedina’s dream? And Sedina… what does she think of me?’

    In Julia Plumheart’s case she became interested in Ludger’s research but the biggest reason was Sedina Rochen.

    ‘I’ll be watching what you do here.’

    And finally Freuden Ulburg.

    He had been staring at Ludger from the moment he entered this space.

    I thought that I wouldn’t stay silent if he did anything stupid.

    Six applicants with different thoughts gathered together.

    Ludger was also embarrassed that all these extraordinary people had gathered together.

    Anyway there was really nothing bad about this experiment itself so I nodded willingly.

    “I think everyone knows what research I’m doing by reading the official documents.”

    “yes! “They said it would increase the amount of magical power released!”

    “It’s loud Aidan. “Speak quietly.”

    “yes!”

    I told you to speak quietly.

    Ludger already felt like he was getting a headache.

    “Before we get into it I would like to ask if everyone can really pledge to follow this research. Those who don’t can leave.”

    “Before we go in I have one thing to ask you.”

    “What is that? Erendir.”

    “Increasing the amount of magical power released… how exactly does it work?”

    “This requires an oath of secrecy. If you say you’ll do it I’ll teach you but I can’t tell you as I haven’t received a confirmation yet. However I can assure you that there will be no aftereffects or problems.”

    “Then you don’t have to worry. Because I will do it. Isn’t that right?”

    “yes. me too.”

    The same was true for all the rest.

    “i get it. If so each person should write their name on the confidentiality agreement. Sedina.”

    When Ludger called Sedina who was waiting in the teaching room came out and handed out a confidentiality pledge to each person.

    She showed some hesitation when finally handing it out to Julia but in the end she handed it out safely and disappeared back into the teaching assistant’s room.

    Julia stared at Sedina’s back.

    All students who accepted the pledge wrote their names here.

    Because it was a pledge with a magical effect a contract was made from the moment you wrote your name.

    “I wrote it all down. “Now can you explain?”

    Ludger who confirmed all the pledges put them aside and opened his mouth.

    “You guys now take it once a day. “You will take the medicine I make.”

    “Medicine?”

    “You said it was medicine but it’s probably closer to a drink made by grinding up all kinds of herbs.”

    “What happens if you eat that? Will drinking it permanently increase my emissions?”

    “If there was an easy way like that anyone would have figured it out. This is the opposite. “If you drink it you will experience great resistance in using your magic power.”

    Erendir narrowed his eyes at the word resistance.

    “This resistance is so high that even the magic you normally try to use will not produce less than 3% of its original power. “We will train in that condition.”

    “Training while suppressing magical power.”

    “The training itself will start from the very basics. “Management and release of magic power and even realization of magic power.”

    “I’m surprised that it’s more basic than I thought.”

    Then isn’t it quite easy?

    Ludger could see that everyone was thinking those thoughts at the same time.

    I understand.

    I did the same thing when I was learning from my teacher in the past.

    ‘It may seem easy if you just listen to the story but you’ll know if you try it.’

    How difficult and painful it is.

    what.

    ‘You will only realize it when you experience it yourself.’

    And it’s going to roll around quite a bit in the process.

    Although I never felt much joy or anticipation from teaching.

    I was confident that I would enjoy this one.
