An Angel Lives in the Academy

Episode 91: The Angel That Touches My Heart (3)

Shall we talk about a girl named Soya Han?

it’s hanso His father is a civil servant and his mother is a housewife.

I was living in a villa in a new city in the old capital area, and I owe the house due to various circumstances.

It could be said that it was a typical Korean family.

On the surface, that is.

But Soya was no ordinary girl.

“Mom.”

Soya started talking when she was 4 years old in Korean age.

The girl wiggled her hands as soon as she spoke.

“Look at this.”

It started to bloom blue mana flowers.

People around were surprised.

It’s rare for children to awaken to superhumans at such a young age, and they’re so good at mana sensitivity that they can even handle mana directly.

But Soya’s talent didn’t stop there. Genius insight into magic, computational power. and to application.

It is said that many wizards were moved by this little girl’s talent. Some even despaired of their talents.

Truly an undisputed genius.

“Mom, look at this! I use a magic circle to clean the vacuum… … .”

However… However… … .

Not everyone likes magical geniuses.

match-

Soya’s head spins violently.

Soya looked at her mother without crying.

“Hanso, you. I would never do that again.”

“… He, the vacuum cleaner is broken.”

“I told you not to use magic! If you use such a bad thing, Satan will catch you!”

Suffer not the witch to live.

It was an old teaching from one religion.

Soya’s mother was a devout believer and viewed Soya’s ability as a curse of the devil.

“You’re going crazy if you get scolded by the pastor again.”

Besides, if the mother proclaims coldly.

“Okay, I was wrong. sorry! I will never do that again!”

Soya couldn’t help but cry and pray.

Because the person whose mother is the money-giving pastor was truly the most fearful and hated person of all.

“Why were you born with such a curse?”

The voice of a crying mother.

And always, the father who was indifferent to himself.

The smell of alcohol, the sound of quarrels all the time.

swearing in anger. fear, fear.

and oppression and violence.

Even my mother can’t run away,

Little children don’t even know the concept of running away.

“I see.”

Someone whispers in the dark With a voice that everyone would know if she was born as a human.

“This is your first hell.”

murmured.

But Soya was not the kind of child who was easily broken. Even if he pretended to be kind in front, he explored magic behind his back and borrowed introductory magic books using a pseudonym.

It is said that raising a wizard costs a lot of money. Magic Enhancement Potion, Magic College Tuition, Magic Book Purchase.

However, growing up as an archmage did not require even a penny of money.

All you need is a girl who will become an archmage. That’s it.

So some more time passes.

The girl grew a little taller.

To the extent that now, he secretly steals his major books and writes his thesis under a pseudonym.

The pseudonym Soya used was Prospero.

Prospero is the protagonist and great wizard of the old comedy, and Soya liked this pseudonym.

‘Hero… Archmage… … .’

As if she had become a prospero who called a real storm, the girl caused a storm in the magical world by publishing revolutionary papers every month.

But who likes a storm?

A mage professor who was denied his lifelong achievements with one thesis? The head of the mage family who saw the magic circle developed over several decades being completed by the wrong person? Or the Archmage who are wary of the appearance of a mage who surpasses them?

Storms are favored only by madmen and those who have nothing to lose.

‘If I become an archmage, will my mom and dad like me?’

But the girl who caused the storm only thinks of how her parents will like her.

‘Will the two of us fight any more?’

The arch wizards on TV and smartphones were all rich and big business owners, and they had a lot of respect from people.

If I became that kind of person, wouldn’t my mom and dad look back on me?

Can we reconcile with each other?

and.

‘Won’t you like that I’m a wizard?’

A pseudonym created by only one girl.

There was no way that the high-level wizards and the mage family could not find the true owner of ‘Prospero’.

Soya’s family was invited to a very expensive restaurant. There were many heads of magic around me, and my father was excited to be a big player and talked with them.

There was talk of debt at home, and his father’s proposal for a career path was whispered.

Soya was a smart kid, so she could guess what was going to happen next.

“Soya. Sit down.”

My dad called me after a long time. Sitting next to her was her mother, avoiding her gaze.

“Did you do strange things in the name of Prospero?”

Dad’s eyes were full of greed and certainty.

However, the eyes of the mother sitting next to her were shaky and anxious.

Perhaps there was a feeling that could be called regret, lurking in those eyes.

“… What you did, very bad Why are you stealing research from others and writing your thesis recklessly? … .”

“I didn’t steal.”

“Don’t interrupt the conversation. where… And you said that you developed a strange magic circle and installed it. you can’t even afford… … .”

“I can afford it.”

“Hanso!”

Dad’s angry voice.

But Soya did not back down.

“Why do you believe what they say? I’m daddy’s daughter! Believe me!”

“… Don’t go there.”

The powerful in the magical realm with high stature.

A true archmage worthy of being considered the representative among them.

Jinju-hwa, the head of the Bongrae Jin family, opened his mouth.

“Prospero, no. Should I call you Soya?”

Jinju Hwa talked about the death of others in a toneless voice, as if talking about what to eat for breakfast.

“You are a smart kid. right?”

“… What do you mean suddenly?”

“I believe you won’t know how things will turn out if we step out of here without a profit.”

Soya wasn’t stupid enough to not know what this meant.

“All societies created by humans have order, and disorder means the end of that society. you were disorderly Terror itself was the end of our mage society.”

Pearl Hwa continued.

“No matter how young you are… You have to pay the price.”

“So what, you want to kill me?”

“To kill you, such a cruel word.”

Jinju-hwa casually handed the black orb into Soya’s hand, as if handing over leftover sweets. Soya immediately found out where the orb was being used.

‘A mana essence, one of the expensive materials to awaken as an attribute wizard.’

However, the fact that the mana essence was black was necessary to awaken as a warlock.

‘Black Mage. Being rejected by the wizarding society… Scholars who study the magic of the dark world. It is said that they are always bullied because they are misunderstood that they have an affair with the dark world.’

Soya laughed.

Warlocks, the ostracized.

Being misunderstood and being bullied

“Change your job to a warlock. If you do that, your parents’ wishes will come true, and you too will survive and continue to study magic.”

“… … .”

“This is my mercy on you. Because I cherish the talent of being you… This is how I want to keep it alive. So choose wisely.”

It was typical gaslighting.

The reason Jinju Hwa suggested Soya to become a warlock was not because it was a pity that Soya’s talent was lost.

In the wizarding society, thorough meritocracy, as an individual, the group that followed the ‘Prospero’ who destroyed the mage family and mage professors was growing.

In this situation, kill Prospero and take the achievements? Of course, they would have to face massive impeachment and revolt.

If so, what would be the way?

There will be only this way.

Voila- Actually, Prospero was a warlock, stating that.

Then you can say:

All of Prospero’s great discoveries are the result of dirty black magic. No, there’s no way a worm-like warlock could make such a discovery.

It’s clear they all stole what we were researching.

I can finally get everything back.

And this is how justice was kept.

Long live the wizarding family with the highest wisdom and the magic college that pursues the ultimate truth.

“… under.”

Soya knew this fact.

From the moment I was offered, I realized this fact for a long time.

“You are mistaken.”

And if they reject this offer, Soya’s parents and Soya will die, although it will cost them a lot too.

However, if this proposal is accepted, Soya’s parents will survive, as Soya’s parents prove that they can control Soya.

and.

Soya was a smart kid.

“Warlocks are heroes who make greater sacrifices for mankind than any other attribute wizards. True warriors who lose their voices, some looking into the darkness to behold, and offering their sight into the eternal abyss, and others shouting out the cursed incantation to cry out.”

Soya activated the black orb in her hand.

The trembling eyes of the mother.

A voice muttering not to do that.

Why, why come now?

“Some have to stand in the dark, some have to face the dark, and some have to descend into the abyss to save those who fall into darkness.”

Soya’s hair turns gray.

The color of the iris also begins to fade slowly.

“Black haters.”

Soya smiled.

But there was something hanging in those eyes, whether they were tears of joy or tears of sadness.

“I don’t become a warlock by being threatened.”

The runaway black mana, the reporters brought in by the wizarding family and the magic college, began to take pictures of Soya like that.

“I, I am of my own will… … .”

Tomorrow morning, many wizards who praised Soya will be busy blaming, ignoring, and cursing Soya. And all Soya’s achievements will fall into their hands.

But Soya chose.

“I accepted this honorable job change… … .”

The girl looked at her mother and said.

“So, don’t mistake me for becoming a warlock because of you.”

The trembling eyes of the mother.

trembling hands.

She’s just her mother who hates wizards so much, but if she were a warlock, she would only see her as something similar to a demon.

“… … !”

But why did the mother say that to herself?

There was something in this world that even such a smart girl couldn’t understand.

Now i don’t know

A girl who is alone in the dark and doesn’t even know what salvation looks like.

That was Soya.

In Soya’s darkness, something wriggling opened its mouth.

“This, this is your second hell.”

A voice that is so creepy, longing, sad, scary, and alluring, digs deep into the heart of a crying girl.

Verdel, the master of the voice, slowly stretched out.

Slowly approach the girl.

“Let me in.”

Verdel lifts the chin of the crying girl.

“If you let me into my heart, I will take away all this loneliness. I will take away all this sorrow.”

It was such a fascinating proposition, but Soya didn’t fall for it.

“And the sweetest revenge of all, if you let me in, the sweetest revenge for the wizarding family and the Magic College… You can do it with your own hands.”

With an expression of victory, Verdel reached out toward Soya.

“So let me in.”

Verdel clearly remembered that in order to attack a being, he had to destroy his aides first.

So, in order to defeat the referee, of course, he had to aim at the referee’s friend.

‘I’m sorry. It will collapse immediately.’

Unlike Hongwol and Yumari, who were raised as warriors, the weakest spirit among the referee’s friends, a lonely warlock who was abandoned by his parents from an early age.

There’s no way a warlock like that would have such a high mental power.

It will be nothing more than a sand castle that will collapse if hit.

However.

“Shut up, my, dreamy.”

Soya muttered:

Verdel opened his mouth with his face crumpled.

“What?”

“I am a warlock. I’m more accustomed to the dark than anyone. Did you think you could break me with only this darkness?”

Soya is never weak. The fact that Soya is weak is Verdel’s arrogant delusion itself. Even though Soya had been crying and whining and clinging to the referee.

From readwn.com

Never once broke.

“Who is stronger in the dark, let’s compete properly?”

Verdel, a little startled, muttered as she changed her appearance.

“Haha, it would only take a long time to suffer anyway.”

In the spirit world, Verdel is victorious, and Verdel can change into any form, and can take any method.

Verdel laughed at the girl and turned into a certain boy.

* * *

“Creep.”

Why is Verdel so powerful?

Let’s talk about her strengths first.

Self-denial that can take away another’s body, the character that has to be won only through mental battles because there is no physical reality, and even the various shape changes as a dreamer.

But what makes Verdel so powerful is that she comes in the middle of the night.

A night when everyone is asleep. Those who are attacked cannot seek help, nor can they scream that they are being attacked.

The victim had to deal with Verdel alone.

This was Verdel’s true strength.

forcing individual warfare.

In that sense, Verdel’s selection of Soya as a target was the worst mistake.

“Creep, a lowly whore… Dare to be my master?”

Soya’s shadow, a spirit created by her loneliness and darkness meeting Han. A monster from the dark world that cannot be compared to anything else. Because Tin’talus’ dog was linked to her mind.

In anger, the dog of Tintalos bit the sleeve of the referee who had fallen asleep thinking of Verdel, and threw this stupid boy in front of his master.

“Aww, what, what?”

The referee muttered in surprise.

At that moment, a snarling black and dark dog appeared in front of my eyes.

“The Dog of Tintalos.”

“You, angel.”

The dog pokes its big and scary teeth, threatening the referee.

“Go in now and save my master.”
