I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 301 Chapter 55: A New Professor (4)

A New Professor (4)

Whenever things like this happen, I always think,

'Why me?'

Baek Yuseul stepped onto the podium and took out his wand. The silver, shiny material felt familiar in his hand.

This small handle, which he had only used to cut down enemies, was called a staff in this world, but it had never been used to cast magic by Baek Yuseul.

"Shall we start?"

Thinking back, it had been like this since the first semester.

For some strange reason, Baek Yuseul had always been singled out by the professors for various practices.

The most memorable was probably Professor Velaian's magic defense class.

It was then that Baek Yuseul first learned how to deflect magic or cut through it.

These situations weren't unhelpful. Rather, they were a driving force that helped Baek Yuseul move forward step by step.

Still, he couldn't help but have the same question every time.

'Why me? Why always me!'

With a frown and a look full of complaints, Baek Yuseul aimed his staff.

Scarlett smiled her characteristic bright smile and waved her staff as if conducting an orchestra.

'Damn, is this Harry Potter or something?'

No magician waves their staff like that. In the first place, witches don't even use such staffs.

However, the unpleasant black magic circle that unfolded from Scarlett's fingertips...

"Ah!"

"What is this..."

"Is that really black magic?"

No one questioned why an ordinary magician could use black magic. When she introduced herself, she explained that she was a master of illusion magic and had long studied black magic, so the students just believed she could use it.

The decisive reason why the students became so simple-minded was probably the witch's charm magic.

"One of the main characteristics of black magic is 'corruption.' It can instantly contaminate our white magic, rendering even shields useless."

Despite feeling nauseous at her shameless statement, Baek Yuseul silently watched the magic circle.

If he let his guard down, real black magic might pierce his heart.

Gulping dryly, Baek Yuseul sidestepped, signaling Scarlett to wave her staff.

"Lance of Destruction~"

As if to deliberately provoke him, Scarlett chanted the spell like a song.

Baek Yuseul activated the Teriphon Sword and deflected the incoming black lance, but was shocked as the mana sword quickly began to turn black.

'Damn, what is this!'

Never before had black magic done this while cutting through it. He was surprised but dispelled the mana before the mana sword completely turned black.

"Black magic is like a disease. You never know where it will attach or how it will infect. It's terrible, but it's addictive, and even the magician can become contaminated, so... you should be careful."

Scarlett smiled as she said that and waved her staff again.

This time, dozens of the magic circles that had just appeared were generated in bundles.
