52-Episode 18 Killing You and I Die



 It seems that the Green Academy regularly holds a "race" for the purpose of testing your proficiency in flying magic.
 They are said to compete to fly around a specific course in the sky and compete for speed until they reach the goal.

The first race is in two months, but anyone can participate, even first-year students, as long as they can fly properly. We're looking for participants now, so if you want to join us, please come to my lab.

 My advisor tells me more about it, because it was just brought up.

 He says that the race is not only for first grade students, but also for second grade students.
 I'm told it's unlikely they'll win the race in their first year.

''I've been practicing only flying magic ever since I became a 'sorcerer'! We're going to win it!

 The boy from earlier declared proudly.

'Sounds interesting. I'll join the race.

 I can't fly yet, though.

'Hahaha! Didn't you listen to what I just said? You've got to be able to fly at least decently to participate!
Two months is enough time for you to get out of here.
"Hey, guys, don't underestimate flight magic, okay? It's not that hard to just float, but then it's the hard part! It took me six months to get there, too!

 They were arguing, and as the instructor interceded.

Well, well, don't be afraid to apply, even if you're a beginner. It's easier to improve if you have a goal in mind, and if it's too difficult, you can cancel right before.



 Huang's classes at the Academy were similar to the others.
 It looks like they won't need someone to show them their notes for a while.

 Yellow magic is largely divided into earth magic and alchemy magic.

 It's a little complicated, but even though it calls itself "earth", earth magic deals with metal.
 The walls that surround towns and villages to prevent monsters from entering are made with earth magic, and bridges over rivers are also made with earth magic.
 However, unlike blue magic to create water from scratch, earth magic uses the soil and metal that exists there, so materials were needed.

 In contrast, alchemy magic is a magic that uses commonplace metals to create valuable metals.
 Research on what kind of metal could be turned into a precious metal by using what kind of material and what kind of technical treatment was used to turn it into a precious metal was being conducted day and night here at the Huang's Academy.
 Many of them find employment in the blacksmithing workshop after graduation.

 It is said that at the first grade, they learn both earth and alchemy magic, but if they reach the second grade, they will specialize in one of them.
 ........I want to make a golem, which one should I specialize in?

 Incidentally, the yellow academy had a higher percentage of male students after the red academy.
 It's probably not popular with the girls because of its simple impression.



 Then there was the white academy.
 This also seems to be a very elementary class at first.

 In contrast to the yellow academy, the percentage of girls is higher than the blue academy, and there's only one guy besides me taking the same class.
 Since I can't attend every time, he seems to be the only one when I'm not there, and he tearfully complained to me, "You should take the class properly~".

 The three major magic in white magic are the following three.

 Light magic.
 Body strengthening magic.
 Healing magic.

 Light magic, as the name implies, is a magic that generates light.
 It can also be used as a light, but this light has the power to purify dirt and other substances, so it can replace polluted water with drinkable water and cleanse the body.
 It also works on undead monsters.

 Body strengthening magic is also just as the name implies.
 It's a spell that temporarily raises muscle strength, stamina, and agility abilities.
 Of course, you can use it on yourself, but most rearguard jobs, such as wizards, are physically weak to begin with, so the amount of damage it can do is limited.

 Therefore, the most effective thing to do was to apply it to the vanguard position.
 Its effectiveness was so great that many famous adventurer parties had joined a white magic user.
 And light magic is also useful for adventuring in some way.

 As for healing magic, there are few situations where it is needed due to the presence of blessings.
 The only thing you'll need it for is first aid when your blessings run out.
 Some white wizards become veterinarians because they can use it on animals that don't have any protection. The demand for vets, such as treating injured carriage horses, is reasonably high.



 The classes themselves do not exist in the black academy.
 Things like First Grade and Second Grade seem to be vague, and they are completely left alone from the start.

 But for me, it's rather easy because I don't have to listen to too easy lessons.
 I'm going to study as I please.

 You can use the facilities of the school freely according to the skeleton in the office.
 The school building has a lot of empty rooms, and I decided to look for a suitable room because it is okay to use it as a laboratory.
 It would be nice to be as far away as possible from the toilet with voices coming from inside and the room of the woman making the chimera.

'Hmm. This place looks empty.

 I find a room that doesn't look like anyone is using it, open the door and check inside.

''Die, die, die, die, die, die....''
"I kill you and I die.
The world is about to end.

 -- A large amount of curse-like words were scrawled on the wall, the wall of the room, in bright red letters.

''.........I guess we'd better not be in this room.

 I close it gently and head to the next room.

This one looks good.

 Eventually I found a room in the corner of the second floor.
 The floor is covered in dust and there are some cobwebs on the ceiling, but it looks like it's working fine.
 There are sofas, bookcases and such, as if they were left behind by previous users.

 For now, we've assessed our base of operations at the academy, but cleaning will have to wait.
 We'll need cleaning equipment. Do we have any in the academy?

 Then I made my way to the library that skeleton had told me about.

'This is great...'

 Once inside, you can't help but be overwhelmed by the number of books in the library.
 At a glance, it's hard to tell how many books they have in their collection, but there must be tens of thousands of them.
 Perhaps someone has been cleaning the library, but it was surprisingly clean.

"Let's start from the right end for now.

 You're free to read them all, so let's read them all.
