    Episode 433

    Phantasus readily agreed to Richard’s conditions.

    Fortunately Pantasus said there was a week until the next adventure. During that period he promised to personally pass the sleep curse on to Simon.

    And the next afternoon.

    The class started right away. Simon was climbing the mountain path alongside Phantasus.

    ‘I can’t believe I can receive Chairman Pantasus’ original copy!’

    Father Richard’s behavior yesterday was a little embarrassing but in the end I was able to learn Pantasus’ sleep which is rumored to be the strongest. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to it.

    “It would be nice here! hmm!”

    Phantasus said while looking around.

    “It’s a very nice mountain! The mana concentration is high the trees grow tall and there are no deadly monsters.”

    “I’m glad you like it.”

    After a brief chat we moved on to training.

    The length of time Pantasus can stay in Les Hill is one week. In fact it was a tight schedule to learn his original work.

    “The black magic I will teach my successor from now on is Sleep.”

    He stretched out his finger and pointed somewhere and something fell from the tree.

    I was curious and saw a squirrel sleeping comfortably.

    “As you know sleep is a curse!”

    Fast casting time.

    Clean and uncluttered operation.

    Simon looked back at him with sparkling eyes. Phantasus bursts into laughter and claps lightly! I hit it.

    Jump up!

    The sleeping squirrel woke up was startled and ran away.

    “I can say it with my own mouth but I became the strongest in Kizen with this curse alone! hmm!”

    Simon blinked.

    “Aren’t you a gifted user?”

    “haha! I hear stories like that a lot from people around me. But it’s all wrong! I am a student who survived from beginning to end with just this sleep curse! hmm!”

    In Keygen necromancers with special abilities are bound to have an advantage.

    Lorraine Archbold.

    Cerne Eindark.

    Both of them have special abilities as their main strength. Of course in addition to these irregularities other gifted users also have good grades.

    Just having a weapon that others do not have is a plus but most of the special ability users who entered Keygen have a special ability compatible with Jet Black.

    His strength as a necromancer also extends to the strength of his special abilities.

    So some pessimists clicked their tongues saying that rank is determined by innate ability rather than effort but the person who proudly overturned that prejudice and presented a new paradigm was Phantasus.

    He entered Keygen without any basic knowledge or prior learning and was a person who only practiced the sleep-type curse to the limit defeating all other gift users and reigning supreme.

    “For one week from now I will pass on my original slip and know-how to my successor!”

    “yes!”

    Simon nodded vigorously.

    “I’m already looking forward to the reactions of the third graders! hmm! Those people who ignored you saying you were a second year student are surprised to see me using my slip! Hahaha!”

    Although Richard’s pressure ended up teaching him a curse Phantasus seemed to have his own reasons for agreeing to it.

    He laughed out loud and looked at Simon with his arms crossed.

    “Then before we start let me ask you a question! What do you think original black magic is?”

    Simon answered right away.

    “This is a black magic that I developed myself!”

    “It was almost similar but you were wrong! In fact each person’s definition of this is different but the concept that Phantasus considers to be the correct answer is ‘black magic that only I can use’!”

    He opened his palm.

    “ruler! First let me show you the runeword and formula for my sleep curse.”

    Simon narrowed his eyes.

    ‘Finally Keygen’s strongest flagship machine!’

    Simon concentrated on stealing without missing a single formula.

    Hwaaaaaaa!

    But that resolve collapsed in an instant.

    In Phantasus’s palm a strange magic circle of three dimensions that went beyond two dimensions was spread out.

    “what……!”

    I felt dizzy with a ping.

    I didn’t know everything about this magic circle but as a necromancer I couldn’t help but be astonished.

    “Is this situation… possible?”

    This was because it included impossible formula combinations that seemed to ridicule existing common sense and mysterious formulas that did not exist in reality.

    There was no way I could learn something like this in a week.

    “Hahahaha! Don’t be too discouraged successor! If you have any questions feel free to ask! It’s worth taking the time to look at it carefully.”

    “…….”

    Simon closed his eyes for a moment and focused. When the dizziness subsided I opened my eyes again and looked at the magic circle.

    “Why did you make the circuit on the right here curved like a spring? Aren’t straight lines more efficient?”

    “iced coffee! That happened during the duel evaluation in the second semester of first year!”

    Phantasus is the type that talks more than it looks.

    It was a long story but to summarize it was like this because I had to use a slip to overcome the opponent’s curse of low calculation during the duel evaluation.

    “Why did you leave this formula as if it was finished?”

    “ha ha ha! That’s a mistake! I tried using Kona’s formula but it didn’t work so I turned to something else but after a moment of distraction I realized that this formula had become a habit!

    “Then what about this way?”

    “I guess I can’t help but talk about my dispatch evaluation here! While preparing the magic circle I was attacked by a monster and the monster scratched my formula! However I just made some adjustments and used the magic as is and surprisingly it was okay…”

    The story is long but there is one thing you can know.

    This curse is a crystallized product of countless trials and errors and variables.

    “Do you understand now?”

    Phantasus said seriously.

    “Why did I say the original was ‘black magic that only I can use’?”

    “yes. And the reason why the magic circle is so twisted is…”

    “It’s because of the jet black’s tendency to remember!”

    The jet-black nature of remembering was also the essence of a necromancer.

    If you repeatedly use a magic circle using a specific rune word or formula the pitchfork remembers the process. Later just by remembering the name of the magic circle and paying attention to the initial steps you will be able to complete it by knowing the runes and formulas.

    Once this property has hardened it is quite difficult to modify it later so in principle modification of the magic circle is prohibited in Keygen.

    “The tendency to remember is a double-edged sword!”

    Phantasus turned off the complex three-dimensional black magic and displayed it once again.

    Just like I saw before.

    A circuit twisted like a spinning spring a formula that was left unfinished etc. Even the inefficient and dirty remains remained.

    “We necromancers can use this to cast quickly but it also leaves unnecessary traces.”

    He clenched his fist and dispersed the magic circle.

    “There is no need to be frustrated! Think of black magic as a warrior’s body full of scars! It constantly changes and evolves in response to situations and conditions.”

    “……Oh that’s a somewhat romantic metaphor.”

    “ha ha ha!”

    Phantasus smiled brightly and turned his head.

    “Your successor will soon be able to have something like this! So let’s start with the basics. Start from the basics build up your skills step by step add variations and make it your own.”

    Phantasus closed his eyes muttered something as if he was performing a ritual and then opened his left hand.

    As soon as it was opened a magic circle appeared.

    “This is the most basic sleep curse that your successor will learn in the second year of study. and!”

    This time he opened his right hand on the other side.

    “This is it! This is my original slip curse that I propose to my successor!”

    Simon opened his eyes wide and looked at the two magic circles.

    “Do you see the difference?”

    “The sleep curse in the textbook uses the sleep rune. And the curse of Chairman Pantasus…”

    Simon’s eyes widened.

    “……Just a calming rune?”

    “That’s right!”

    Simon’s analysis did not stop there.

    “The sleep curse that uses the sleep rune is simple in composition. The formulas used are also focused on bringing out 100% of the power of the rune.”

    Simon’s head turned to the right.

    “On the other hand the composition of the one that uses the calming rune is several times more complicated. That’s natural. Because the sedative effect alone cannot put a person to sleep. Other supplements are working hard to produce sleep effects.”

    “hmm! You saw it very accurately!”

    Phantasus nodded his head quickly. The answer seems satisfactory.

    “Then it’s a problem! Why do you think I gave up the efficient sleep rune and used the calming rune to create a sleep curse?”

    “…….”

    Simon rested his chin in deep thought.

    Phantasus waited quietly leaving Simon in agony.

    “If you get this right you get 1000 points out of 100.”

    “The sleep that is triggered directly by the curse effect is artificial though.”

    A bright light flashed in Simon’s eyes.

    “I think the difference is that the sedation rune creates a ‘real sleep-like effect.’”

    A storm of emotion rushed over Phantasus’s face. He clenched his fists and raised his head.

    “Perfect!!”

    Food deud deud deuk!

    The surrounding mountain birds were startled and flew into the sky.

    “That’s it! As expected this is the successor to Pantasus! The next Keygen student council president!”

    He was extremely excited and spit flew out of his mouth.

    “sleep! sleep! What do you think of sleep? ‘It is a state of physiological loss of consciousness that recurs periodically’!”

    “……Oh yes. Right.”

    “Humans live in this state of physiological loss of consciousness for about one-third of their lives! From a curseologist’s point of view most living things place a curse on their bodies in order to maintain life! Isn’t it fun? When it comes to sleep curses you have to be aware of that and take that into consideration! In fact humans are always waiting to be cursed with sleep.”

    “That’s right.”

    Simon laughed as if telling him to calm down but Pantasus’ explanation did not stop.

    “Of course it would be faster if you use the sleep rune to curse! But there will be resistance! Necromancers are wrapped in curse resistance and priests have purification magic! So there’s no need for us to go out of our way to put the other person to sleep! Humans are ready to sleep at any time and we just scratch that part! By relaxing your muscles stabilizing your blood pressure and slowing your heart rate and breathing tempo!”

    He continued his explanation by making various movements.

    “Slip must be different from other curses! If other curses focus on viciously attacking the opponent! Sleep’s performance varies depending on how comfortable and comfortable the other person feels!”

    The sleep curse that makes you toss and turn and have a hard time sleeping is trash.

    Phantasus’s usual theory was that a sleep that helps the enemy get a satisfactory sleep is a good sleep.

    “After putting the opponent into a satisfying sleep and making them completely defenseless.”

    Phantasus pretended to slit his throat with his sword.

    “It’s up to the witch doctor to decide what to do.”

    “It’s scary.”

    On the battlefield sleep meant death.

    ‘But it’s definitely a useful class.’

    Simon was satisfied. Maybe it was because it was a lecture given by someone who only studied slip but the know-how and ideas were all different.

    I thought it was a class I could never learn in a school class or even if I paid money to learn it.

    “You start right here.”

    Phantasus said while showing a curse using the ‘Rune of Calm’.

    “Memorize the entire magic circle and formula circuit used! When you first learn the fastest way is to memorize it and just hammer it into your head!”

    “yes!”

    This power made Phantasus the strongest student council president in Keygen.

    Simon vowed that he would definitely get it.

    “Just one hour is enough.”
