I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines

39 – Leaf-8

You have to think about it. If I don’t move carefully now, I may not be given the chance to choose later.

‘First of all, it seems like Conrad is involved…’

Victor was monitored. However, I couldn’t do anything great.

My time was limited, and my face was known everywhere. Furthermore. Victor was more perceptive than expected.

It wasn’t a perfect trace, but there was no evidence that he was in contact with other criminals ‘that I might know’.

‘The guards are also… Passive.’

The students at the academy were made up of people of various nationalities, but the guards were made up of local people, that is, people of the empire.

Selling drugs was certainly a business that could generate a considerable amount of profit, but a business that smuggled small amounts and sold them to students could not bring in such a large amount of money.

I met with Victor once or twice more and traded drugs, and I also saw him dealing with other people from a distance.

The items he brought in from outside the academy passed the strangely negligent security checks without any problems.

It is not a purchase. In that case, a criminal with a status capable of suppressing the security forces within the empire had no choice but to become the culprit.

‘Conrad…’

He hands over dangerous and highly criminal work to Victor, and because of that, he lends money at high interest rates to students who are in need of money.

It was a pretty good business model. When he and Victor met in person, they didn’t seem to know each other, but if you think about it again, it’s possible that ‘Victor alone’ didn’t know him.

‘Things are a lot more complicated than I thought…’

In the game, taking down a drug gang on campus was just a side quest.

All you have to do is proceed with a case with a colleague who has an appropriate level of ‘investigation’ ability, and take down the enemy with a party member who is just at the level of a student.

But this world has already changed from what I knew. Even before the party could properly fight, the conflict was becoming visible.

We have to somehow end this incident so it doesn’t explode.

The boy held the small wooden box that was barely in his hands in his arms like a urn.

“You worked hard to get it, so you can never, ever waste it…”

I couldn’t tell while I was using the drug. How immersed he was in this drug.

Even black magic that could not be used can be used with this drug. The mind becomes clear, and courage fills the heart.

The ideal self he can imagine. With this drug, I felt like I had become that kind of person.

It was class time, but he no longer had time to listen to it.

I wanted to save it. If you’re unlucky, this may be the last time you’ll be able to take medicine for the rest of your life.

‘Maybe I should have asked for money…’

Wade also bought drugs. It was the boy who told him where to source the supplies, so maybe he would repay him accordingly.

‘…Or, maybe I should have just asked you to protect me.’

It was a meaningless assumption. The person who was harassing him most persistently now was Conrad, but in the end, he was just one of many people.

Those who control the power of light, those who control the power of darkness are humans. I didn’t see them as the same student.

People like Katharine and Wade saw them as ‘wild beasts that could cause harm if they approached too quickly,’ while those who didn’t saw them as ‘goblins who say coins come out when they hit them.’

In the end, you have no choice but to become stronger. You have to become strong.

In a lightless warehouse, a small light that he created with black magic rose up.

It seemed as if the flame was shaking dizzyingly in the shape of the boy.

‘Fabian. You can’t do anything.’

What the flame said was right. The boy thought back about what kind of kid he was.

He is incompetent, helpless, and a nuisance to his family, and is nothing more than a piece of trash.

He wanted to become stronger himself. He wanted to be more confident and confident.

I wasn’t asking for much. Like other ‘powerful’ warlocks, I wanted to become strong enough to not be bullied.

A diploma from the academy is quite valuable. This was especially true for warlocks.

That was nothing but proof that they could ‘integrate into society.’

“You have to hold on… Do it.”

I opened the box. The scent slowly rose up.

Fabian sprinkled the powder into the water container he had prepared in advance.

The way to enjoy the medicine was to let the scent of the powder rise in hot water, but Fabian could not afford to prepare such a thing.

Tears are flowing. The impulse in my head is forcing me to greedily shovel that medicine into my mouth right now.

At that moment, the door opened.

‘Well, you should have locked it!’

“Wow, there really is one. You piece of trash. What were you doing in the corner?”

“He’s a warlock, so there’s some kind of evil plot… What, isn’t this a drug?”

Several cadets entered the warehouse roughly.

“I guess that’s right? There’s no reason to do this sh*t by running away from class just to have a drink, right?”

“This is completely crazy. You would rather steal. Do you openly commit drug abuse in the academy or during class?”

“All warlocks are like that.”

“This, this…”

Fabian tried to make an excuse, but he couldn’t.

Because what they said was not wrong. Or, I was so intoxicated by the drug and the impulse that I could do it in just a little bit that I didn’t even recognize it as a distraction.

I couldn’t endure it like this. Fabian tried to drink the drug-laced water in the water bottle.

And, it couldn’t be done.

“Ahh!”

“This guy, hey. Are we funny? No, he’s openly trying to suck drugs right in front of us?”

The cadet taking the knight class kicked Fabian’s wrist with his strong foot.

“Please, just once, just once…”

The wrist was bent and turned in the wrong direction. But Fabian could barely afford to feel the pain of such a thing.

“He’s a complete wreck. Is this guy even a human?”

“I think it would be more dignified to take my cat to class with me. It’s all about harmony, let’s just put good words first…”

One of the cadets stepped on Fabian’s leg roughly.

“aaah!!!”

“Hey, aren’t you being a bit harsh?”

The steel boots crushed Fabian’s legs mercilessly.

“Why are you so scared? You say you caught a kid doing drugs on campus? If you say something, you just say there was nothing you could do because that kid resisted, right?”

“That’s right. If things don’t work out, the captain will help you.”

They laughed and mocked Fabian, as if they didn’t feel any sense of danger.

“Ugh, uh, uh…”

Fabian crawled on the ground.

Half of the drugs in the water container had already fallen to the ground and were flowing on the floor.

“You bastard, what are you doing!”

Fabian sucked up the remaining drug-laced water. Then, he licked the water flowing on the floor.

“It’s a real dog. Lick this!”

“Hey, you bastard. I think you’re really addicted?”

The impulse disappears from Fabian’s head. Reason, which is extremely clear, fills the place.

The first thing he felt when he came to his senses was shame. It was pain.

It was weak. Even if he hadn’t used drugs, these people would have harassed him just the same.

If you just happened to meet him while passing by on the street, he would have no reason to open the locked warehouse door.

“Shouldn’t we stop it?”

“Why us? Anyway, that bastard’s life is over. Expelling him from school is the norm… Well, he’ll end up living the life of a drug addict and end up on the streets.”

Fabian admitted that he was right.

He had no future. Everything he had planned and imagined had already been ruined.

Maybe he was like that from the beginning.

I hated the reality of being treated as a nuisance to the family. When he announced that he was entering the academy, others welcomed him with open arms.

He hated being together. No one wanted him. He couldn’t stay there forever.

Unless he showed outstanding achievements that anyone could recognize, like his older sister, misfortune was destined.

“Ugh…”

The concentration is thick. The drug powder, which had not sufficiently dissolved in water, became entangled with dust and landed on his tongue.

“Ah…”

From the beginning, the wrong goal was set.

Hoping for a happy life was an overindulgence. It was an unattainable goal.

More feasible goals and actionable actions were needed.

After acknowledging that, I felt comfortable.

“…”

His tongue stopped licking the floor. Fabian barely got his creaking body up.

I couldn’t feel the scream that my entire body was screaming at him. Although it was fortunate, it was also very sad for Fabian.

“What is it?”

“Hey, why don’t you just keep lying down? Then you could have gotten hit less-“

The cadet who was about to punch him in the face realized that dark smoke was holding his hand.

“Just… Die. Please die.”

It is a strength gained through the suffering and blood of countless animals. There can be no happiness at the end.

Fabian, who realized this, clearly became stronger.

The feeling that it doesn’t matter what you sacrifice, the will to give up cumbersome relationships for things like happiness and humanity.

And the mind that became clear through drugs made him huge.

“Die oh oh oh!!!”

Only then did Fabian gain strength.
