68-Episode 34: You Can'T See The Bottom Of Magical Power
After the presentation, I was able to advance to the next level.
Apparently it would have been difficult for me to be promoted if it hadn't been my own presentation.
So it was going to be a complete waste of time, but Logwell said, "I'd love to have you in our lab! He pushed me hard, and as a result, I was able to move on.
He helped me out in some way or another.
However, I was automatically forced to join Logwell's laboratory.
Well, since this is a laboratory that specializes in golems, it wouldn't be a bad choice.
''Show me how to build that new golem! And although Logwell is willing to take away the student's research results without shame or disrespect, we have no intention of hiding it.
It's a good idea. I'm not just talking about Alpha, there are four more of them. Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon.
What?
As I moved the five golems at the same time, Logwell's eyes went white and he roared.
''Oh, even that wasn't serious...''
The requirements for advancement in the white institute were similar to those of the red institute.
After receiving a recommendation from a teacher, you have to take a written test and a practical test.
The difference will be that there will be a further practical exam after this.
I had already passed the written and practical exams, but it took me a while to get through the practical exam.
This is because this test is conducted by each laboratory, so if you pass it, you are automatically admitted to the laboratory.
After much deliberation, I chose one of the laboratories that specializes in light magic.
''I'm Kaede and my name is Kaede. I will be the examiner for your practical test.
The woman who called herself Kaede was a beautiful woman of about 20 years old with long and lustrous black hair.
It seems that she is from the East, and her occupation is said to be a [senior] priestess.
The [Miko] is also a profession where one can learn the [White Magic] skill, and she had come all the way from far away to study at this academy.
It seems that she is currently in her first year of top grade.
The top grade is given its own laboratory from the laboratory to which it belonged when it was a second grade, and it's a position that's right in between faculty and students.
That original lab was where I wanted to be, and she was instructed by the professor there to be my examiner.
I look forward to working with you. ........Are you blind?
Yes, but don't worry. But don't worry.
She had been meditating the whole time.
Apparently, she was blind.
I've been told that if you can sense the magic, even if you are blind, you can live your life the same as an able-bodied person. In fact, it is even possible to 'see' more deeply thanks to not being deceived by sight.
She smiled flirtatiously.
You can tell a lot about a person from your magic.
Suddenly, he gulped heavily, as if he was surprised by something.
''Oh no... it's as if you can't see the bottom of your magic power...???We can't keep it like this... no, each of us has never rebelled against the other... so we're not going to go off on a rampage, we're going to balance it out...
He is mumbling something to himself.
''.........Oh, who in the world are you......??You don't mean to tell me that you're a legendary magician?
I responded to her astonished questions.
No, I'm just unemployed.
In the basement of the grounds of the White Academy, there are ancient ruins.
A kingdom that is said to have been destroyed a long time ago.
It is a tomb where the royal family is said to rest, but over the years it has accumulated magic power and has become a dungeon.
It is said that a large number of undead are nesting there, and the invasion of these undead is controlled by the white magic method that has the power to purify them.
The laboratory I chose was a place that studied light magic specializing in the extermination of undead and demons, and had produced many so-called exorcists (exorcists).
Therefore, the practical test was also a matter of diving into this dungeon under the supervision of the examiner and actually defeating the undead.
The inside of the dungeon was gloomy and smelled moldy.
There was even a rotten smell wafting from somewhere, a place you wouldn't want to spend too long in.
The heavily degraded passages were completely submerged in darkness, and it looked as if the undead were about to appear.
'Light.
For now, I put out a light for the lights and illuminate the front.
''Please be careful. If you look at the light, the undead will come closer.''
"??Aren't you going to run away?
No. No, unless it's a strong light, in which case it will try to get close enough to the source to get rid of it.
I see.
This level of light is more of a temptation.
Well, it's rather convenient.
...By the way, you have done the purification of the undead, haven't you?
Maple asked.
'Never?'
'What??Juju, didn't we do this in class?
I'm guessing I didn't do it.
It's not like I was properly present at every class.
Maybe they had a class on the undead when I was away.
'Don't worry. It's going to be a crash course, but we'll figure it out.
And that's just when.
'Uh-oh.'
A humanoid monster appears from ahead with a grunt.
It's body was rotting in many places, and it approached us with a wobbly gait.
"A zombie?
I shot out a compressed light.
"Holy Ray.
Ohhhh!
The zombie screams fearlessly as it is hit by a powerful beam of light and slumps over.
Eventually, it seems that it has stopped moving, and its rotten body turns to ashes.
Purification complete.
''Well, that's about it.
