Chapter 2180 – 2180. Dark Moon
Orcia trembled as if in pain and stood up with a cold look in her eyes.
She took off her metal-rimmed glasses with one of her hands, glaring at me like I was going to kill her. Orcia’s blue eyes instantly turned silver-gray. She is a magic eye.
Immediately after, more than 10 spaces open in the sky. Inside the space, there was a being with powerful power. When I realized that they were phantom beasts, I raised both hands. Contrary to her neat appearance, she was growing very ugly things in her space.
“I lost. “I’ll stop here.”
“… Where has the momentum so far gone?”
“The Mana Rod is overheating. If you use even one spell in your current state, your Mana Rod will be damaged. I don’t want to suffer that kind of loss here. Haven’t my skills and talents already been proven?”
“Ha.”
Orcia sighed and put her glasses back on. The silver-grey eyes returned to the wall. The subspaces that appeared in the sky also disappeared.
‘I didn’t wear glasses because my eyesight was bad, but I wore glasses to suppress my evil eye.’
It meant that the 7th level wizard could not completely control his magic eyes. How powerful is the magical eye?
Curiosity arose, but I held back. Because the other person doesn’t seem to be in a good mood to ask questions.
Orcia straightened her slightly disheveled hair out of habit and looked straight at me. The light of anger seen earlier had disappeared. Orcia approached me and said.
“You seem to have talent in all attributes. From my personal opinion, he might also have a talent for space magic. “Would you like to join the Hitel School?”
“My main focus is lightning-type magic.”
“The Rayson School and the Hytel School. There is also a way to level up enemies of both schools at the same time. Instead, you will not be able to hold important positions within the school and your ability to learn arcane magic will be limited.”
It was such a good offer that I almost unconsciously shouted YES. Because I don’t have any big regrets about the Rayson school. Can’t learn lightning-type arcane magic? Can’t even get to a high position within the school? It didn’t matter.
As someone who has knowledge of the original game, there are plenty of ways to obtain arcane magic. A high position within the school? It’s more convenient without it. It also means that annoying obligations are reduced.
“… “It’s an attractive offer, but will the Rayson School allow it?”
“I don’t know anyone else, but Ambrak Raython will allow it. “They must be feeling uneasy because of your appearance.”
Because my appearance could shake up the position of successor to the Rayson School. As she said, Ambrak will allow it. Rather, they would actively want me to accept the offer.
“Is it because of my mana affinity that the Hytel School wants me?”
“Yes.”
“…”
“You seem worried. If you accept my offer, I will help you three times. Of course, you can’t make unreasonable requests such as telling me about arcane magic, but I can teach you at least a basic introduction to space magic.”
It was an amazing reward.
‘You think more highly of me than I thought. Well, I was bombarded with magic 63 times in a row.’
There are 16 multiple chants.
If there is a talented wizard like me, I will try to attract him somehow.
“… The offer is so good that it would be foolish to refuse. I will accept it. However… Please keep this a secret for the time being. “I have something to talk about with Ambrak Raython.”
If you use this well, you will be able to steal something from Ambrak Raython. You should try.
“Indeed. The Ambrak Raython could use a little shaking. “He has a short temper.”
Orcia noticed my intention and nodded his head. It is a natural reaction. Originally, wizards were people who did not miss out on even the smallest benefit.
She lowered her head for a moment and lost herself in her thoughts.
‘Huh?’
It seemed like Orcia’s nostrils had just flared. When I saw her again, her eyes behind her glasses were freezing. I can’t even ask her if she fluttered her nostrils here…
‘Did I see it wrong?’

“Welcome to becoming a member of the Magic Association.”
I shook hands with Vice President Ansing. They acknowledged me. I also exchanged greetings with wizards from other schools. Each person tempts you to come to their school with a subtle look. I smiled awkwardly and avoided giving a definite answer.
Ansing and other magicians from the Magic Association left immediately after saying hello, wondering why they were so busy. In my hand, I held a card with the Bamangseong symbol, meaning a member of the Magic Association, engraved on it. You can think of it as another ID card.
I later met Ambrak Raython. Unlike when we first met, there was a wariness in the eyes looking at me.
“I received a recommendation from Orisa Heitel. He asked me if I was interested in joining the Hitel school.”
Ambrak’s face brightened. The wariness towards me also decreases.
“It is no exaggeration to say that the Hytel School is the best school in Neo London. Not only is it traditional, but it is also at the forefront of space magic. Of course, the Rayson School is a school that is not far behind.”
I praise and praise the Hytel School.
“But I am a lightning wizard. I am also interested in the arcane magic of the Rayson school.”
“That means the Rayson School…” ?”
“I know what Mr. Ambrak is concerned about. He must be worried that his position as successor may be shaken because of me. Mr. Ambrak. Could you please teach me a separate lightning-type arcane spell? In return, I will never covet the position of successor to the Rayson School. As evidence, the Hytel School and the Rayson School. “I will belong to two schools.”
“…”
Ambrak was silent and pondered.
It is difficult for a country to just throw away talented people. Because other wizards have already confirmed my talent. In particular, I am not a lightning magician. It is not Ambrak’s situation, but from the perspective of the Rayson School, he is a talent that should not be missed.
But if you accept me, your position is in jeopardy.
I spoke to him as if driving a wedge in his thoughts.
“I won’t ask you to tell me all the arcane magic. “Please tell me some arcane magic you don’t mind me knowing.”
“… Can you swear on your mana that you will not covet the position of successor to the Raython School?”
Even if you give it, you won’t get it.
I swallowed my sincerity and answered with all my mana.
“I swear. It doesn’t matter if you write a separate magic contract.”
Ambrak’s expression relaxed.
“The magic contract is done. There’s no way a wizard of Eugene’s caliber could say that in one breath. I would like to maintain a good relationship with Mr. Eugene. “I’ll also teach you some good arcane magic.”
“Oh, I’d also like to tour the Rayson Power Plant. As a lightning wizard, I’m really curious.”
“Haha. Let’s go take a look right now. I will guide you personally. The best of Neo London. No, it is the best power plant in the world. You will be amazed when you see it.”
True to his rant, I was quite surprised when I toured the power plant. I once again realized that the Rayson Power Plant is not a power plant that can be copied even if money is poured into it.
That afternoon, I signed the membership agreement for the Rayson School and the Hytel School. The rank is general school member. Although I had to pay tuition every month, I was able to look into the school’s protection and general level research materials within the school. Of course, you can also learn lightning-type magic.
Although the tuition fee was quite expensive, it was not burdensome for a wizard. Because wizards are high-class people, they make good money. If you cannot pay tuition fees, one option is to work within the school.
Ambrak smiled broadly after seeing the contract sent to the Hytel School.
“Welcome to the Raython School! Mr. Eugene, you will leave a mark in history as a lightning wizard! I, Ambrak Raython, will guarantee your talent and skills!”
“Eh, well. Thank you.”
As the wariness towards me disappeared, the tension increased significantly.
“Mr. Eugene, you seem to be very interested in arcane magic. What type of arcane magic does he want?”
“I am also working as a mercenary, so it would be nice if it were magic that would be helpful in battle.”
I don’t even want industrial arcane magic. That’s because it is of high importance even among arcane magic. If you use it carelessly, you could end up in trouble with a company.
“It’s an offensive magic. Ah, this would be nice. It’s an arcane magic called Plasma Battery.”
He took out something that looked like a small iron ball from his pocket.
“This iron ball itself is an ordinary piece of iron, but when magic is activated, it becomes like this…”
When I placed the iron ball on my palm, it glowed and grew in size. Later, it grew to the size of a watermelon and gave off a blue light, brightening the surroundings.
“It’s not exactly an attack spell.”
“Yes. However, the electricity most needed by lightning wizards can be stored in this battery. And it can also be used for attack. Throw it at the other person and discharge it. The amount of electricity that can be preserved depends on the wizard’s capabilities, but Mr. Eugene will be able to preserve a significant amount of electricity.”
“It’s a magic that has its own uses. “Is this an arcane magic using a sealing technique?”
“That’s right. It is a by-product that occurred during a time when the Rayson School was heavily focused on battery research. The new battery… Although I failed. “It becomes very unstable when it is farther than a certain distance from the user.”
“What if it’s close to the user?”
“It is absolutely safe. It will never explode without the user’s will.”
“I will learn.”
[Plasma Battery] Was a level 5 magic. He taught me techniques and gave me images and precautions when using magic.
“I’ll tell you about other arcane magic later. Nowadays, just learning about plasma batteries will be difficult. It took me a month for the magic to succeed.”
“Thank you. See you next time.”
When I returned home, I used the [Plasma battery] Perfectly.
It took just 9 hours.
