I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

Chapter 27-2

Imposing all these restrictions. I didnt know what would happen if I ignored the warning, but anyway, it didnt look good.

Inevitably, I had to make excuses to Edna again.

There is a famous saying that the Progenitor Mage said while teaching magic. Do you know?

I know.

It was very simple, but it was the most famous line.

Mages, let the world only see half of your true form.

Even at that time, mages fought against beings from another world to protect the world, but they were few in number.

So, while mages were almost worshiped as gods. What would happen if people discovered that their god-like beings were actually vomiting blood behind them to practice magic?

A mage was always required to present himself in the best possible light to the public. He had to always wear fancy clothes, never get tired after casting powerful magic, never get sick, and never lose to anyone.

That was why the Progenitor Mage said that.

Lets only show half of our true faces and, lets just reveal half of our feelings. You and I have secrets we dont want to reveal.

Yes, fine.

Edna quickly agreed and asked immediately.

Do you know the future?

That was a serious remark. Lets reveal half, so I was trying to get everything out.

However, no matter how much she deduced, she would not know that I was a romance fantasy game possessor. It would be enough if I didnt reveal it. She must have guessed that I already had some future knowledge.

Perhaps, she might also think of me as the possessor of the original Romance fantasy novel.

Originally, I didnt want to reveal this too but now I didnt have any choice.

But I didnt reveal it straight away. While answering, I could freely infer the other persons information.

To ask such a question, you mean youre the same?

I affirmed by saying the same, and Edna affirmed by not answering.

I already knew that she was a transmigrator, but I shouldnt pretend to know that. By deliberately hiding how much I knew, I had to have an informational advantage.

This time, its my question. What is your purpose in academy?

Honestly, I didnt need anything else. After all, most people know about the external story of Edna. But, I was most curious about what she thought internally.

She hesitated for a moment, but then her lips softened.

Work my way toward a situation where the world doesnt end. This world is too dangerous for me.

I didnt know if it was true or not, but this was still a pretty positive answer.

Even in the original Romance fantasy novel, a group of dark demons existed and I heard that it was probably a sad ending, but she didnt seem to want such an ending either.

Next, my question. Why are you behaving like that?

Well.

I pretended to be agonizing. Edna waited for me like that.

However.

There was a problem with the question. What kind of behavior was that?

I did not understand what behavior she was talking about. But could I say I didnt know? What if she found out that I didnt know the original Romance fantasy novel with this trivial question? That was not good. I had to avoid being informationally disadvantaged.

Just because I think its best that I do this.

I thought it was a fairly satisfactory answer.

Suddenly, Ednas pupils shook violently.

What, such Why

What? It was not the reaction I expected.

Edna hung her head low and shook it as if she was thinking about something. Then, slowly, she looked up straight into my eyes.

I can not believe it. How can a person be so stupid? Obviously, something There must be something, a purpose, something you want.

Theres nothing like that.

Hurry up and say it!

It was a surprise. Wasnt it my turn to ask a question now? I was a little offended, but I thought I could ask two more questions later, so I answered.

If you ask what I want Well, I dont really know.

You dont know?

Oh, Im sure there is something, but Im not sure if this is right.

Whether or not finding the Twelve Moons was the right way to the true ending. To be honest, I was still confused.

So, if the only purpose left now I just want to live. Thats all.

Wasnt that because everyone wanted to live?

You Want to live?

Edna opened her eyes wide in response to my answer and then smiled in despair. At that moment, I couldnt help but be confused.

Why? The reason there was sadness and compassion in those eyes.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Whats this? Are you sure youre not misunderstanding something?

She muttered to herself.

I suppose so.

At the same time, she stood silently for a long time with her head lowered.

Then she abruptly raised her head and met my eyes with tears in her eyes. A momentary glance that made my heartache.

Sorry. Im sorry.

After saying that, she turned around and ran away.

Huh?

It happened so suddenly that I couldnt comprehend anything.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Wasnt it my turn to ask questions?

I was standing in a daze because it was something ridiculous, but this time, I heard another voice from the back.

Baek Yu-Seol.

A strange but familiar voice. When I turned my head, Haewonryang was staring at me with a terrifying expression.

What were you talking about just now?

Uh It was nothing. Why?

To be honest, I was a little nervous when Haewonryang, the rival of Mayuseong the worlds strongest man, gave me such a cold look.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Im not going to be dragged into a mess, am I?

Answer me correctly. Why did Edna go back crying?

With those words, I realized that he was misunderstanding something.

Come to think of it, was it the setting that Haewonryang had a crush on Edna in the game? I still remember it because there were a lot of players who wanted to lead the Haewonryang route.

Nothing happened. Especially not what you think it is.

Personally, I would like for Edna to be closer to Mayuseong, but I resolved the misunderstanding because I did not intend to interfere with Haewonryangs love affair either.

Of course, he was not completely convinced by what I said, so he continued to stare at me, but he quickly turned his head and said.

I dont know whats wrong with me. Im sorry for prying into your conversation. I tried to infringe on your privacy. I apologize.

Oh, yeah..

And Haewonryang headed back. Somehow, I felt sorry for the drooping shoulders.

No, rather than feeling sad I was anxious.

"Isn't he that kind of kid?

The Haewonryang I knew was more cynical, cool-headed, cold-blooded, and cold-hearted than anyone else. The current appearance seemed so awkward and unstable because he was the personification of the word a true chauvinist of this era, who did not reveal his true feelings to even the woman he loved.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Its very upsetting

I felt a bad premonition, but I tried to shake it off.
