Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 929

Ihan didn’t know it, but inside the Beast, Sharkan was going crazy.

When the Beast tried to refuse the contract, Sharkan exploded in anger.

The Beast realized Sharkan was stronger than he thought. He had to give in.

He didn’t want another embarrassing scene. The wizards had seen the last one, but if others in the Undead Realm saw it, his power would be damaged.

The Beast spoke, “Wizard, you can only call me on the longest night… No, I’ll make it a little easier.”

Ihan was confused. ‘Is he crazy? I heard he was badly hurt.’

The Beast kept changing his words, which made Ihan even more puzzled.

Professor Mortum had said the Beast was badly injured. It wouldn’t be surprising if he was confused or had amnesia.

An injury to a powerful being from another world would be a big deal.

“Um, Senior, I think he’s a bit out of his mind.”

“I think so too. We need to be careful,” Dirett said.

Ihan agreed. The Beast was definitely a little crazy!

‘Why are all the beings I make contracts with so strange?’

Ihan replied, knowing the Beast would be angry if he heard, “Then what are the conditions?”

The Beast said, “Only in battles with destruction and slaughter… No, I’ll make the conditions even easier.”

‘He might be crazier than I thought.’

The Beast changed his words several times before deciding on the conditions.

He would only come when Ihan faced a very strong enemy and used magic power to call him.

The Beast shouted, “Can’t you stop, you stupid beast! You’re part of me! Do you think I’d accept such a humiliating order!”

“Yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

“He really seems crazy. Junior, be careful when you call him,” Ihan said.

The two wizards whispered and watched the Beast.

The Beast didn’t know the wizards were talking about him outside. He sighed deeply.

He wanted to destroy everything because of his pride, but the embarrassment he felt wouldn’t go away.

The Beast decided to take his anger out on other enemies in the Undead Realm. He didn’t see any other way to calm down.

“The contract is over, get out. Then what am I supposed to do? Treat those who didn’t even come to me as guests?”

“Who are you talking to…?”

“Get out!”

‘He has a worse temper than Perkontras,’ Ihan thought.

Ihan thought it was time to leave.

He knew about Sharkan now and had the new contract mark. He didn’t need to make the Beast angrier.

Now that Sharkan was part of the main body, Ihan couldn’t call him as easily as before. But it wasn’t all bad, since Sharkan was stronger.

‘Ah, that’s right.’

“Could I ask you one more thing?”

“What is it?”

The Beast answered quickly, without getting angry. He wanted to send Ihan away, but Ihan didn’t know that.

“Do you know any undead who recently made a contract with evil god worshippers? I heard they use the power of corruption and decay…”

Ihan didn’t expect much.

The Beast probably didn’t have many friends, even in the Undead Realm. Plus, he had just recovered from a bad injury, so he probably didn’t know much about what was happening.

“I know him. He’s a Defiler.”

“?!!”

“!”

Ihan and Dirett were both very surprised.

They didn’t expect to get information so easily.

“A Defiler?”

The Beast said, “A powerful and disgusting undead. He recently got gifts and made contracts with wizards. Now his followers are getting stronger.”

The Beast was good at finding information, as expected of someone known as Death and Darkness.

He had quickly learned about the powerful enemies in the Undead Realm, even after just recovering his strength. Not just anyone could do that.

The Defiler was a powerful undead, like the Beast, who ruled part of the realm.

The Defiler’s followers were known for rotting everything they touched and destroying enemy territory.

Dirett frowned. He thought the enemy was using the power of corruption, and now he knew they had made a contract with a powerful undead.

It seemed likely they would summon more forces.

“This is harder than I thought. I didn’t know they were this strong,” Dirett said.

“I know. Could you warn me if the Defiler’s followers are going to be summoned?” Ihan asked.

The Beast replied, “Wizard, I want to tear you apart! This is the last time!”

“Ah, thank you!” Ihan said.

Ihan was grateful that the Beast had changed his mind again. Even though he was crazy, he could be generous.

The weekend was ending, and the Blue Dragon Tower lounge was busy.

“Buy this for me when you go out. I’ll pay you double,” one student said.

Another replied, “Am I your servant? Don’t be silly.”

Students were asking for errands to be done outside, since outings were opening up based on club schedules.

The older students could get things from outside, but the second-year students couldn’t.

The Blue Dragon Tower students didn’t easily do errands. They were busy buying their own things and thought they were too good to do errands for money.

“What? Then I’ll do it,” Ihan said.

“Wodanaz!”

“You’ll pay double? Really? Is that okay?”

Ihan was getting all the requests.

Ihan smiled as he wrote down the requests from his friends. ‘I wish all requests were this easy.’

“Damn it, I could do it too,” Asan thought, feeling a little bad.

Ihan was taking classes and doing errands, but Asan was refusing because he was busy and too proud.

“I’ll help too, Wodanaz,” Asan said.

‘You’re a jerk!’ Ihan thought, looking at Asan.

Asan had changed his mind after seeing Ihan getting all the money.

His friends were realizing the importance of money.

“Finish it quickly. If you don’t finish it by tomorrow, you can’t go out!” one student shouted.

“I know!”

In the corner, students were making potions.

Club activities let them skip classes, but they still had work to do.

They had to finish their work before going out.

Ihan also had to do a week’s worth of work on the weekend, taking care of animals, plants, the garden, and the secret base.

“Yonel, are you really not going to escape?” Ihan asked.

Yonel’s expression changed.

“You don’t have to escape. I was just asking,” Ihan said, feeling a little embarrassed.

“That’s…”

The Theater Club was being watched closely, because the Skull Headmaster hated it.

Ihan had given up on joining after hearing about it.

Even if that weren’t the case, Ihan was already in too many clubs.

The Einroguard students were always brave. Some in the Theater Club were saying, ‘Let’s escape, buy what we need, and go back in.’

‘That makes sense,’ Ihan thought.

People wanted freedom. It was obvious that the Einroguard students would try to escape.

“…Wouldn’t it be hard?” Yonel asked.

Yonel was worried. He knew the danger of the situation.

There was no point in jumping down if a dragon was waiting below.

“But, Maykin, if we don’t do it now, it will be hard to get what we need this semester,” Adenart said quietly.

‘No way, is the Princess in the Theater Club too?’ Ihan thought, surprised.

“That’s right, Maykin. It’s worth a try. Either we get caught or we don’t. 50/50,” Asan said.

‘Even Asan!?’

Ihan was surprised that so many Blue Dragon Tower students were in the Theater Club.

‘They’re joining clubs where they can have fun, instead of joining hard clubs,’ he thought.

Ihan had been forced to join a hard club, so he felt a little jealous.

Ihan nodded, not pointing out Asan’s silly math.

“Asan’s math is good. Either you get caught or you don’t. 50/50,” Ihan said.

Gainando looked at Ihan, not believing what he was hearing.

He would be angry if he heard that!

“Wodanaz, what do you think?”

“You’re the expert, so tell us what to do, Wodanaz.”

“I don’t know about being an expert, but I trust you,” Ihan said.

Adenart and Asan weren’t reckless like Gainando. If they were saying this, they probably had a plan.

And even if they got caught, it would be a good experience.

“Yonel, you should trust your friends,” Ihan said.

“Are you saying that because you’re not escaping with us?” Yonel asked.

“What nonsense!”

‘Hmm, Yonel might be right,’ Ihan thought.

It was early morning, before sunrise.

Ihan was on his way to meet Senior Sebius.

The Location Movement Club was leaving first because of their request, so they were meeting early.

‘If I was in the Theater Club, I might be more careful,’ Ihan thought.

But Ihan also had a point. It wasn’t wrong to trust his friends.

Even if the Theater Club was annoying and the members got in trouble, Ihan wasn’t encouraging them for no reason.

‘No one can stop the fight for freedom,’ he thought.

“You’ve come,” Senior Sebius said.

“Yes, Senior. When do we leave?”

“In 30 minutes. Oh, and there’s another request.”

“Is it Professor Verdus again?” Ihan asked, knowing the answer.

Who else would add things to the list at the last minute?

“No, not this time.”

“What?”

“I got gold coins from the Theater Club president. He wants me to help them escape.”

Ihan thought about his actions.

He still hadn’t learned to be a good person, even after learning about decline and prosperity!
