Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 244

The Monsters 3

Siiiiiip-

Chief Researcher Konnichiwa loved tea.

His room held over dozens of varieties gathered from all over the continent. Entering the room, the fragrant scent of tea would immediately stimulate the senses.

He was a 6-circle mage [a high-ranking magic user].

A figure renowned as a brilliant talent even within the Magic Tower.

A skilled individual who could easily make a name for himself even if he left the Magic Tower.

If he wished, he could immediately receive the title of Baron in any territory, and with a little effort, he could quickly rise to the rank of Count.

The reason he worked under Baserabapap was solely due to the magic tome containing his insights.

In truth, he had no desire to become Baserabapap’s disciple. He didn’t want to be placed in such an awkward situation and spend his life taking care of an old man.

He only wanted the magic tome!

That magic tome was the dream of all magicians.

8th Circle.

Moreover, Baserabapap prioritized academic inquiry over the desire for magical power itself.

If there were fewer than 100 magicians who reached the 8th circle in the history of the continent, then the number of magicians who reached the 8th circle through academic inquiry was officially only one.

If he could obtain his insights, he could reasonably expect to enter the 9th circle, which was said to have been achieved by only one person in history.

Konnichiwa wanted to obtain that magic tome by any means possible.

That’s why he was staying in the Magic Tower.

Suppressing his violent tendencies.

However, he couldn’t stand seeing such a strange guy appear and interfere with his dreams.

“It’s hard to suppress my anger for much longer,” Konnichiwa muttered, unaware that Dreizer was behind him. Dreizer, without Konnichiwa’s knowledge, put his finger to his ear and twirled it around.

Crazy bastard.

“Crazy Dreizer…”

Dreizer was briefly surprised when Konnichiwa muttered his name.

*Did he know I was coming? Not bad.*

“Just one of the Seven Greats with a false reputation…”

Konnichiwa grumbled.

“My victory is certain at long range… but if it comes to close range, should I see it as 50%? Maybe 60%? It’ll be quite a battle for the first time in a while.”

However, he thought that he would never lose if he didn’t let his guard down.

“I’ll defeat you and let the whole world know that the kingdom’s Seven Greats are just a false reputation! Look how weak ‘Crazy Dreizer’ is! But I won’t take the title of the kingdom’s Seven Greats. Why? Because I will devote myself to research as a magician rather than such a hollow name!”

Numerous people would praise him. Just thinking about it made him feel proud.

“What the hell are you muttering to yourself? Are you mentally ill?” Dreizer asked.

Flinch!

Konnichiwa was startled and fell off his chair in fright as he turned around.

“H-How did you get here… How dare you!”

“How dare you, my ass. Hey, you.”

Dreizer pointed at Konnichiwa.

Konnichiwa’s eyebrows twitched. It had been so long since he had heard the words, “Hey, you.” Even his mother didn’t call him that.

“This lowly one, how dare you…”

“Enough. I’m going to hit you now. Clench your teeth.”

“What? This…”

Konnichiwa couldn’t finish his sentence.

Everything flashed before his eyes. It was the first time he had seen such big stars since he was born. The mana defense he had unconsciously cast didn’t do anything.

Crack!

Konnichiwa, who had been punched, was embedded in the wall, covering his face with both hands. When he took his hands away, a considerable amount of blood was smeared on his palms. His cheeks felt numb, and then a molar popped out and fell to the floor.

Sparks flew from his eyes.

He, who had been known as a genius magician since he was young, had never had a tooth fall out like this, except when he had a cavity.

A tooth falling out from being hit by someone.

Konnichiwa was furious.

“You son of a b… Keuk!”

Konnichiwa was hit hard.

Nothing worked against him. He was smashed before he could even finish casting. Even if the casting was completed and the magic was realized, it was the same.

Nothing worked against that monster.

“Fire Blast!”

The ultra-high-temperature magic struck Dreizer.

“Hoo-ah!”

Dreizer waved his left hand and blew away the ‘Fire Blast’.

*Is this even possible?*

He was dumbfounded.

Was the ability of a 7-star knight this much? Was there this much of a difference?

Of course, his information was also incorrect.

Dreizer was still introduced to the world as a 7-star mage. But he was already a 7-star Master. If he drew out the power of the Dark General to the maximum, he could temporarily use the power of an 8-star.

It was extremely difficult to find someone stronger than him in the kingdom.

For a 6-circle mage to try to fight him!

It was like throwing an egg at a rock.

Konnichiwa was being beaten so badly that he would rather die. If Legion had ordered him to be killed, his life would have disappeared a long time ago.

“P-Please save me.”

In the end, Konnichiwa knelt down.

He grabbed Dreizer’s ankle and begged, shedding tears.

“No. Let’s get hit some more.”

“I was wrong no matter what. Sob sob! I’ll do whatever you tell me to. Please stop hitting me.”

“I told you it’s no good.”

“Why?”

“It’s just your destiny. You messed with destiny. It’s unfortunate, but shut up and get hit. But don’t worry too much. Guys named Sayonara, Arigato, and Gozaimasu will suffer the same fate as you.”

“Huh? That’s not very comforting, is it?”

“No. It might not be now. But it will be comforting after your turn is over. Anyway, I’m sorry. Our master doesn’t like your name. So let’s just get hit until dawn.”

At the same time.

Nihaoma and Uwoose were being severely beaten by Lich Mamon.

That overwhelming horror and fantastic curse were a level above Legion. In terms of violence, he was by no means inferior to Dreizer.

Lich Mamon was a master of 7-circle black magic.

His actual skill was so great that even the Great Magic Tower dared not oppose him. Baserabapap was an 8-circle master, but if Mamon fought him, it would be difficult to guarantee victory.

Even some of the elders in the same 7-circle master were considered to be slightly inferior in practical ability compared to Mamon.

Because he was a lich without death!

No matter what, they were all out of town anyway.

It was the same as saying that there was no one who could stop Lich Mamon from rampaging as he pleased.

“Kuaaaaak! S-Save me!”

“Mom! I’m sorry! The money to pay for Mom’s *kye* [rotating credit association], stealing it from your wallet was me. Because of me, Mom and Dad got divorced, right? I’m sorry. I’m telling the truth now!”

Nihaoma and Uwoose, cursed by the nightmare, grabbed their heads and scratched the floor.

They drooled from their mouths and tasted hell.

* * *

Legion elegantly drank tea while watching the morning sunlight breaking at dawn.

The world seen from the high position of the 80th floor was quite beautiful. Of course, he had seen how wide the world was thanks to Ogu Ogu, but this was a different beautiful sight.

The sunlight shone on his plate armor and helmet.

The sunlight touched his skin, which had turned as dark as jet black.

Mana filled up on its own. Thanks to the DNA mixed with the son of the sun or something, photosynthesis occurred when he received sunlight, and mana was filled to the brim.

Thanks to that, his mind was clear.

Even though he had barely closed his eyes all night, he didn’t feel severe fatigue.

“Uwaaaaaaak!”

It was a refreshing scream that cut through the morning.

Legion slightly poked his head out. He was bungee jumping, naked with a rope tied around his ankle. It looked like that guy from yesterday. The guy who stood at the front and tormented him(?).

His heart was not at peace. Even though he was the guy who tormented him, the sight of him suffering like that was unsettling.

*How weak is my heart?*

*Why do you keep tormenting me?*

The screams of other guys were heard in succession. They screamed as they fell into hell while receiving the morning sunlight.

“As expected, morning screams are refreshing.”

Legion raised his teacup and proposed a toast to the sun.

Flap flap flap-

Hundreds of pigeons, startled by their screams, flew up all at once.

The birds’ droppings went into Legion’s teacup.

Legion cheerfully drank the teacup.

“Ew!”

* * *

Lord Freeza of the port city of Ciem.

He was the first case in the history of the kingdom where an ordinary citizen became a temporary lord. Since there had never been a similar case, the royal family did not know how to treat him.

Freeza was just as dumbfounded.

He never intended to become the lord of the port city of Ciem. He didn’t care about it as much as the dirt stuck in his little toe.

But fate did not leave him alone.

To be exact, the fate intertwined with Legion did not leave him alone.

Before he knew it, he was standing in front of the citizen revolutionary army.

Before he knew it, he had become the leader of the citizen revolutionary army.

Before he knew it, the citizens thought of him as a hero.

Before he knew it, he was executing the nobles of the port city of Ciem on the guillotine.

Before he knew it, he was representing tens of thousands of citizens.

Why?

Why me?

Why the hell was I, who ran a death fighting arena!

Regardless, since he couldn’t commit illegal acts whether he wanted to or not, his profits suddenly dropped by more than half. Contrary to his dissatisfaction, he couldn’t leave his position because of the overwhelming amount of work that poured in.

Knock knock-

Someone knocked on the office door.

He remodeled the office that Count Audi originally used to suit his taste.

The place where he stayed was the Rose Palace, which could be said to be the landmark of the port city of Ciem. It was a government office, but it was also a tourist attraction. In particular, there was a mysterious legend that if you touched the penis of the peeing boy in the Rose Palace garden, you would give birth to a son.

Numerous infertile couples visited this place and touched the penis of the peeing boy. Now, the penis of the peeing boy has been touched so much that it has worn away and disappeared.

“Come in.”

Freeza, who was signing the mountain of documents, answered without even looking up.

Vegeta, Freeza’s right-hand man, came in with another pile of documents as large as the documents on Freeza’s desk and placed them down. He was a man whose hair stood up to the sky as if he had been struck by lightning.

He was also the subordinate that Freeza trusted the most.

Looking at the documents, Freeza’s face turned yellow as if he was appalled.

“Is there this much?”

“It’s still a long way to go. There’s three times as much as this.”

“I have hemorrhoids because I’ve been sitting for too long.”

“I have them too.”

“My abdominal obesity has also gotten worse.”

“You’re not getting enough exercise. Would you like to go out and exercise with me now?”

“When will we work?”

“After exercising.”

“I want to rest during the time I exercise.”

“Then you have to finish your work.”

It was an endless loop. It was too difficult for him to be the only decision-maker in such a large city. For the first time, he felt sorry for the lord who had been kicked out of this place.

Being a lord wasn’t a position to just play around and eat.

*I’m so sorry for not knowing. Until now, I just thought you were eating delicious food, drinking alcohol every day, and meeting pretty women…*

It was a much tougher position than I thought.

“A letter has arrived from the capital.”

“From the capital?”

“Yes.”

“Did you read it?”

“Yes.”

“It’s my letter, is it okay for you to read it however you want?”

“Are you going to read it yourself now?”

“No, it’s okay. Read it for me. I don’t want to use my head anymore.”

“In a nutshell, they’re going to give you a title, Lord.”

“Is that a good thing?”

“Well, you’re becoming a noble. It won’t be bad. There are considerable benefits. It’s not just for a short time, so your children can also become nobles.”

“A noble, huh.”

“A Baron.”

“A Baron. Good. It’s an honor to the family. I’m a noble.”

“I know. I was surprised too.”

“The royal family is giving it to me, right?”

“That’s a bit subtle.”

“Why?”

Freeza felt an unknown uneasiness because Vegeta’s expression was strange.

“You might think it’s strange, but…”

“You might think it’s strange?”

“Baron Legion gave it to you.”

*What the hell is that bullshit?*

How can a Baron give the title of Baron? Since when did a Baron become such a position?

“You might feel it’s strange, but…”

“But?”

“He told you to come right away. Baron Legion.”

“Damn it. I’m a lord. The lord of the port city of Ciem! How dare a mere country Baron tell me to come and go? Is he crazy?”

“Then you’re not going?”

Vegeta asked back.

“…”

*Not going?*

The image of the ironclad monster wielding an iron sword in his head came to mind. The overwhelming and terrifying sight of him blowing away that enormous number of knights and soldiers.

Moreover, his right-hand man was that crazy…

Hem hem!

Wasn’t it ‘Crazy Dreizer’, one of the kingdom’s Seven Greats?

Frankly, if those two monsters crossed the castle walls to dispose of him, he would never be able to stop them.

He would become a handful of blood before he even went to the guillotine.

He had never seen anyone as scary as Baron Legion in his life.

“Hoo.”

Freeza sighed deeply.

*It’s my fate.*

“I have to go. If I don’t want to die.”

Freeza wasn’t happy at all that he was being promoted to Baron.
