The Rebirth Of The Hero’S Party’S Archmage [EN]: Chapter 27

The Reincarnated Archmage of the Hero Party – Episode 27 (27/280)

Episode 27

It feels like it was just the weekend, but after diligently focusing on studies and exercise, it’s already Friday morning.

“Ah, it hurts.”

My whole body feels like it’s been tortured, not just overworked, so there’s not a single place that doesn’t ache.

It’s a relief that I can see my stamina stat growing rapidly; otherwise, I would have collapsed already.

Gustaba: Quantifies the caster’s physical condition into mathematical values.

ㆍDu: StaminaㆍMental Strength 311 -> 346.

The growth rate is faster than expected. It took seven years to raise it from around 70 to 300, but Logan’s mentoring is truly remarkable.

I guess you could say he’s a true successor of the Chaihark School, where ‘a healthy mind resides in a healthy body’ is the motto.

“Since I have to go to the black market tomorrow…….”

Let’s stimulate my muscles several times more today to make up for the exercise I won’t be able to do tomorrow. Before I knew it, Rain left the dormitory with such muscle-maniac thoughts.

* * *

Today’s first-period class was ‘Understanding Magic Squares and Attributes: Advanced.’ But the classroom is noisy from the morning.

“Have you eaten, Professor?”

It was because Logan came to find Rain and spoke to him in a friendly manner (Logan is in the Changlang class).

“What……?”

“A disciple of the Eight Great Schools…….”

“When did the Paragon of Humanity get so close to him……?”

The two became close in an instant.

Rain didn’t have any animosity from the beginning, and Logan’s animosity had long melted away due to the ‘friendship blooming from muscles.’

“No, I don’t eat breakfast. I need to keep my head clear.”

“If you haven’t eaten yet, why don’t you try this?”

“What is this? Mana Purifying Water?”

Rain shook the flask that Logan handed him. The thick liquid sloshed around inside the glass bottle.

“It’s not just Mana Purifying Water, but a Magic-Protein containing the secrets of the Chaihark School. It’s made by dissolving proteins and nutrients necessary for muscle regeneration with magic!”

“Oh, really?”

“If you eat this, you’ll quickly gain amazing muscles!”

Logan’s eyes lit up, and Rain nodded with shining eyes as well.

“Thanks. I’ll enjoy it. But is it okay to just give this away? You said it’s a school secret.”

“The Grand Master, no, Professor Owen, also permitted it, so there’s no problem. Then, I have to prepare for class, so I’ll be going now.”

A muscle growth accelerator from Chaihark… I’ve had an unexpected stroke of luck.

As he grinned and opened the cork, Krista, who was next to him, was startled and grabbed Rain’s hand.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“?”

“What if he put poison in it?! They fought so fiercely last time! Are you stupid? An idiot? Don’t you think at all?”

As if to say, ‘What else could it be?’ Rain shook his head.

“Don’t worry. This is a conclusion derived from sufficiently rational thinking.”

“?”

“What would he gain from poisoning me? He would only be expelled from the school for tarnishing the school’s name, not to mention being expelled from the university.”

“That’s…….”

“If I were to die? Hmm, learn this well. If you’re going to poison someone, don’t make something obvious like a hell cookie [a ridiculously bad or dangerous concoction] for assassination, but do it discreetly.”

A brief silence…….

Rain’s face, as he drank the Magic-Protein with a sigh, had not a trace of playfulness. Does that mean it’s 100% genuine?

“Wow, it tastes absolutely terrible! If we’re just ranking the taste, it’s similar to your hell cookie!”

Rain exclaimed in admiration and laughed.

Krista’s face gradually turned red from her chin to the top of her head, and the next moment, magic squares were rapidly constructed on both of her palms.

“Heh, heh, heh, fine, I’ll just bake another cookie…….”

“Are you serious? Give it up. Who are you trying to assassinate again? You’ll get punished if you just kill people.”

“Get over here. Today, I’m going to turn your face into mud and bake it into a cookie!”

“Hey, you crazy! Magic in the classroom? Hey, take your hands off! Won’t you let go?”

“Let go of this! Won’t you let go?”

Krista and Rain were brawling and hitting each other, turning the classroom into chaos… Melanie from the Lohwynum School opened her beady eyes.

“Ugh, are those guys crazy from the morning?”

It looks like lovers’ skinship rather than a fight; anyone would think they were dating.

But that was only for a moment; the classroom became quiet as the front door slid open the next moment.

It was the appearance of Professor Owen.

As Owen stomped onto the platform, the classroom instantly became silent. Owen scanned the classroom and looked at Krista.

“You piece of crap, Krista!”

“Yes, Professor.”

“What time is it now?”

“It’s 09:02.”

“Excellent! You can even tell the time down to the minute! Then why were you making noise for 2 minutes after the bell rang? Your pig-squealing voice could be heard all the way in the hallway!”

Krista mumbled.

Krista, who is a diligent and excellent honor student, seemed to lack the ability to cope with this kind of situation.

“You damn brat! If you were making noise for no reason, I wouldn’t have any objection to giving you a deduction in your attitude score, right?!”

Krista’s face turned pale. Even such minor evaluations were important to her, who aimed to graduate at the top of her class.

“Th…… That’s right.”

As Krista bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, Owen took out his fountain pen and began to write something on the attendance sheet.

Seriously.

He acts like an adult, but what kind of child is he? Rain raised his hand.

“Professor.”

“What is it.”

“Krista was just asking how to do muscle training, so I was telling her. She said she wanted to make a body like yours, Professor.”

Then Owen’s hand stopped abruptly. And he looked up at Krista.

“Is that true?”

“Yes……?!”

Krista glanced blankly at Rain. Rain nodded as if telling her to just go along with it.

“Originally, curiosity about muscles is something that cannot be suppressed regardless of gender or age.”

“Th, that’s right!”

“That’s not something you can deny with your damn brain, but something that comes from instinct… I’ll make an exception just this once! Sit down.”

What on earth…….

Krista’s legs gave way, and she slumped into her seat blankly. Hubert from the Lohwynum School glanced at Rain with a dumbfounded expression.

‘Do nobles, who are full of pride and self-esteem, lie so well? They almost never, no, they don’t do it, do they?’

It was noisy for a while, but Owen immediately banged on the desk to gather the students’ attention.

“You damn brats! Quiet! What’s the date today?”

“It’s April 5th!”

“That’s right. There’s one piece of crap news and one less crappy news. It’s better to get hit first, so I’ll tell you the crap news first. Midterm exams start in three weeks.”

As soon as the name midterm exam was heard, all the students sighed as if the ground was sinking.

Magic education institutions generally conduct two exams each semester, and the first exam was the midterm exam.

It was strange that the reactions of the students at Magic School seemed the same, but even more serious.

“Why is everyone reacting like that when they say there’s an exam? Isn’t it good to know your own achievements?”

“Are you saying that seriously? The exams at are not exams in the innocent sense. It’s like a rite of passage to separate those who will go up and those who will fall.”

The educational ideology of is infinite competition, and those who fall behind in the competition are abandoned without hesitation.

“You have faces that say you don’t know why the school makes exams like midterms to make you suffer. Is it because the professors are perverts who feel happy by tormenting the students? Well, I can’t deny that either.”

“????”

“But the most important reason is not that. What Delaiteen wants is not your paltry magical knowledge! It’s whether you have the spirit to dominate the era as a magician or not! It’s to weed out those who don’t have it!”

The students swallowed hard.

On the other hand, Rain’s eyes lit up with a strange curiosity. Exams… What parts will they test in what way? Isn’t it going to be super fun?

“Then I’ll start the class now. Since today is the 5th, student number 5─”

“─Professor.”

“You damn brat, Rain! Cutting off the words of a professor like the sky, I won’t forgive you unless you have a valid reason.”

“You didn’t tell us about the less crappy news.”

Then Owen sighed briefly and tapped the textbook he had brought.

“That’s that the damn difficult content I’m teaching today is also included in the exam range!”

“!!!”

“So pay attention! Student number 5, come forward!”

I was about to take some notes because I thought it was interesting, but alas, I seemed to have forgotten to bring my notebook from the dormitory.

As a temporary measure, I decided to use Lynn’s diary. I can just jot it down briefly and rewrite it later… But Rudyenne’s condition, which popped out of the diary, was strange.

The particles of light she was emitting around her were larger and clearer than usual, but strangely, the sounds of the world faded and moved far away. It was as if only I and Rudyenne had moved to another space.

Socrafres.

– You can inherit the progress of ‘Unique Magic’ research from the surrounding environment.

– Progress 39.9% => 40.0%.

– ‘Unique Magic’ Understanding, achieved 40%.

I don’t understand.

There is no consistency in what situations the progress of Unique Magic increases. Wasn’t it supposed to increase when I smashed something with magic….

At that time, an unbearable sharp pain occurred in the palm of my left hand.

>>>

Brante.

– A new mana circuit opening has been confirmed: Flowing Quantity World Honored (流量世尊) [a newly discovered magical pathway].

Should I say it’s the pain of searing flesh with burning fire? The excruciating pain of burns spreading to the palm….

§

As I inhaled and looked at my palm, that pattern that I had never seen or heard of before—something like a rune was emitting a brilliant light from my palm.

>>>

Camitishia.

Analyzing the circuit…….

ㆍ When the circuit is opened, ‘Mental Barrier: Flowing Quantity World Honored’ is deployed in a 20-meter radius around the caster.

ㆍ Within ‘Mental Barrier: Flowing Quantity World Honored,’ the success rate of magic combinations using ‘Unique Runes’ and ‘Unique Mathematical Formulas’ is increased by 33%, and the power is amplified by 66%.

ㆍ Mana required for casting: 20,000 (Warning – Current caster’s mana: 12,564).

ㆍ ‘Activation Hand Seal’ for using ‘Mental Barrier: Flowing Quantity World Honored’ is designated: Ra (羅).

I was so dizzy with pain that I couldn’t think deeply, but I could make a light guess even in a one-dimensional way.

‘A special feature given when the proficiency of Unique Magic reaches 40%……?’

So, I’ve learned a practice barrier to skillfully handle Unique Magic? Will I have to use it without a domain later?

But Mental Barrier, isn’t this unfamiliar yet familiar technique name… almost representative of two sages?

Emitsa Page, the first magician and the first sage, and the only one to reach the rank of Great Sage (7 stars),’s White Orchid (白蘭), and Riot Warden, the second sage (6 stars)’s Golden Sand Advancement (金砂開進)…….

As the thought reached that point, Rain was groaning in pain and muttering like this.

“……Jackpot.”
