I Became A Childhood Friend of A Mid Level Boss Chapter 182

I became a childhood friend of the middle boss.

In a world before the cataclysm where modern manaology was not established.

In general, the standard for dividing magic into two perspectives, white and black, was the common belief of the time.

People around the world used to call the strange mystical phenomenon that went against conventional wisdom black magic, and conversely, the beneficial mystical phenomenon that did not go against conventional wisdom called white magic.

Therefore, just as conventional wisdom changes with the times, the standards for black magic and white magic also had to change.

‘Magic that was black magic in one era could be considered white magic in another era.’

However, no matter how times change, there are some common beliefs that do not change.

The common idea called ethics that humans must most universally follow in order to live like a human being.

Mainly human soul, memory, emotions, respect for life and death, etc.

That common belief has been a fundamental standard for judging magic, regardless of the era.

The same is true even now.

Even in modern times where mana has been explained and mana studies have been established, that standard is still in effect.

Awareness of black magic and white magic is deeply imprinted in human consciousness.

‘That’s why black magicians, led by the black magic Oga, often talk about improving awareness of black magic or changing the name of the black magic system to the modern magic system… . On the contrary, every time that happens, the white magicians led by the Bright Chanter say to keep going like this… .’

Ogawa, the dark horse who is the best in black magic, and the Light Chanter, the best in white magic.

There is a reason why the two families belonging to the Ten Families do not get along well… .

The topic wandered off to another direction.

Returning to the story, it is a clear fact that the standards for judging magic are still in effect in modern times.

Manaology specifies ethical and unethical magic based on that standard.

I repeat, it is not black magic or white magic.

In modern times, the two magics are accepted as academic studies and as completely different concepts from before.

‘It’s because of the way magic is classified.’

Mana is the most fundamental force that makes the heart of existence beat and defines living beings.

Magic refers to all phenomena that twist and interfere with the providence of the world using mana as a driving force and embody mystery in reality.

At this time, magic as a mystical phenomenon is divided into several branches depending on the way it is implemented.

‘If it is implemented with human power, it is pure magic, if it borrows the power of spirits, it is elemental magic, if it is equivalent exchange, it is alchemy, if it summons a being, it is summoning magic, etc… . There are many different types of magic that I know.’

Among them, there were black magic and white magic that were recognized as academic disciplines and were also known as 10 major systems.

Both magics were implemented in the same way by borrowing power from beings from other dimensions.

However, the level of borrowing that power was different for each person.

If black magic is a method of borrowing power from the demon world where demons live.

‘White magic is a method of borrowing power from the heavenly world where angels live.’

That is why it is called black magic and white magic.

This is because the symbolic colors of devils and angels are generally black and white.

Other than that, it had no other meaning.

The devil’s magic is evil, so it is not defined as black magic, and the angel’s magic is holy, so it is not defined as white magic.

In any case, that is just a perspective from before the cataclysm.

This is a world that was destroyed by a cataclysm and came to deny the existence of God.

In the end, the world realizes that only fellow humans, especially hunters, can save humanity.

In this world, where the color of religion has faded, the logic of power is more common than the law, the sacrifice of a few is justified, submission to superior humans, and classism and meritocracy have become rampant.

The idea of ​​angels and devils was increasingly losing its former status.

As research into dimensions has become more active, people who have come into contact with their world now know that angels and demons cannot simply be distinguished as good or evil.

There are good devils, and there are evil angels.

They are only distinguished according to the world in which they exist.

‘Statistically, it is said that angels are better than devils… .’

On the other hand, angels and devils do not lend their power without compensation.

Two beings who are friendly to humans receive something related to their emotions in return.

At this time, angels have a strong tendency to receive positive emotions, and devils have a strong tendency to receive negative emotions.

Naturally, the risk of contracting is bound to be relatively higher in black magic.

It seems that some black magic requires breaking a finger in exchange for using it.

‘Instead, they say I can use magic that is powerful enough to match the price, but I still can’t use it.’

Even if people around you use it, you probably won’t be able to watch it comfortably.

Fortunately, there was no need to worry about something like that happening to Lisa, who specialized in white magic.

But I couldn’t relax.

“Okay? “If I make a mistake, I have to erase the line here.”

Since angels as mischievous and cruel as devils definitely exist, it is impossible to let down your guard.

We also had to keep in mind the possibility that the angel Lisa would bring in to make the contract was of that type.

Just in case, it was necessary to prepare provisions so that they could storm in and stop the contract at any time.

“okay. “Can I rub it with my foot?”

“Yes, I don’t mind rubbing it with my feet. “The important thing is that the line must be erased so that it cannot function as a line, such as if it is broken.”

I listened to Lisa’s explanation, giving caution before signing a contract.

She drew lines on the floor for nearly an hour with a special chalk with high mana conductivity and repeatedly emphasized to me not to forget.

“What did I say?”

“Erase this line on the floor. “It’s being blocked so that it can’t function as a good.”

“That’s right, good job. You must remember this. Once the contract begins, my life is in Gyeonwoo’s hands. “I’m embarrassed to say it with my own mouth, but the life of the princess of the Grace Empire depends on Gyeonwoo.”

“… Aren’t you putting too much pressure on me? Anyway, we are summoning a 3-level angel, so how dangerous can it be? .”

Unlike humans who create rings around their hearts, angels and demons create stars around their souls.

It is called a star.

Therefore, the magic of a 3-level angel would be similar to or exceed the 3-level magic.

If anything, it’s a level that Lisa and I can handle in our own way.

I had no choice but to stick my tongue out at her excessive request.

Even though I didn’t know how she felt, I didn’t think there was any need to be overly anxious.

Then she pouted her lips with a pouty face.

“That means contracts with otherworldly beings must be made with caution. Even though they are third-level angels, they should not be ignored. It’s because Gyeonwoo doesn’t know about white magic. “If you ask, Gyeonwoo will do it.”

“okay. I’m sorry. As you said, I have never dealt with white magic before, so I think I found it easy. By the way, it’s called Kkow-myeon… Who on earth did you learn this from? No way, to Eunbi again… .”

“This time to Hanbyeol.”

“… Instead of learning what other kids say, why don’t you learn how Heaven speaks?”

“The sky is learning words. Not long ago, I learned the word nunseunun. Gyeonwoo says it’s your eyes.”

“Why are we only learning those words…?” .”

Lisa Grace has a gently admonishing tone that also includes sarcasm.

These days, I think Lisa is becoming more and more delinquent.

I don’t know how I could have made a friend with a large joint and ended up in such a bad light.

There is no special sponge.

I sighed and raised a white flag at her response.

“I will follow what you say unconditionally. “Okay?”

“Yes, please. thank you.”

“There’s nothing else to talk about, right?”

“There is one more left. “Now I have to decide on a password.”

“What password?”

“A password to use as a signal to stop the contract and reverse summon the angel. Sometimes, there are people who notice signs and try to force a contract to be concluded. Unlike devils, angels usually step down as long as you apologize politely.”

“In other words, we want to decide on a signal to replace the word that the contract is being suspended, just in case.”

“yes that’s right. It is best if this password is as unrelated to the contract as possible. “Is there anything that comes to mind?”

“The sky? Or is it the heavens that bless you?”

“I know that Gyeonwoo is a fan of the sky, but to do that in a conversation with me is a bit… . Somehow I feel like I don’t even care. “But when you’re with me, you have to focus on me.”

“I didn’t mean to. “When I asked if anything came to mind, Haneul automatically came to mind.”

“Ah yes… . Gyeonwoo is really cool. “This is something I learned from Eunbi.”

“Can’t we just use the sky?”

“If possible, it is best to avoid using your name as a password. There is no benefit to giving information about us to otherworldly beings. And the shorter the better.”

That makes sense.

I thought about it, agreeing with Lisa’s advice.

‘If I write it roughly, people might say it’s insincere, so I’ll have to use words that have some meaning… .’

Suddenly, I remember the first time I met Lisa.

At that time, she was eating ramen in my room and went into the bathroom and came out… .

I was so lost in my thoughts that I blurted out something.

“Vitamin C.”

“If it’s vitamin C… “The water balloon I touched in the hotel of dreams?”

“That’s right, a water balloon. In that case, even if an angel hears the code, wouldn’t he know what it means?”

“It certainly seems like that. Then take vitamin C. When we first met, we thought about using work as a password… . Gyeonwoo, you have good sense.”

“It’s not your eyes anymore, is it?”

“Yes, just a little.”

Lisa giggles.

I shrugged my shoulders after giving her a passing grade.

On the other hand, a bitter smile arose.

‘Looks like you still don’t know.’

* * *

This is my first time seeing the process of summoning a being from another world and making a contract.

It appears vaguely in the game and is not described in detail.

‘That’s because there are bound to be limits to implementing it as a system.’

So unlike there is a profound setting about black magic and white magic.

The process of learning the two spells in the game is very monotonous.

All you have to do is select the skill you want to learn from the skill list you can learn, pay the materials, and you’re done.

All directing that occurred in the process was omitted.

The price of signing the contract likewise passed without being mentioned.

The settings for the two magics in the game were nothing more than decoration to highlight the worldview.

So, as someone who encounters contract rituals in real life rather than in games, I was just curious.

I also felt worried.

‘I said it would be okay, but I really hope nothing happens… .’

I stepped outside the camp and looked at Lisa so as not to interfere with the contract.

Standing inside the camp, she was concentrating with her hands together as if praying.

After a while, the djinn drawn on the floor glowed blue in response to the mana she expressed.

The materials placed for the contract became mana particles and dispersed.

‘It has begun.’

The air current in the area has changed.

Lisa has connected a passage, a channel, that leads to another dimension.

Sensing a change, I decided not to relax.

I placed my hand on the scabbard so that I could draw my military sword at any time in case the contract went wrong.

Soon, a ray of light rose from the circle located in the center of the camp.

───!!

The light spreads and becomes a pillar.

Lisa took a slow step to avoid the light that instantly encroached on the circle and inflated its momentum.

At some point, the light no longer spread around and gradually lost its power.

Before long, the angel who had responded to the summons appeared inside.

‘I don’t feel any dangerous energy, are you okay?’

A girl wearing flowing lace clothes, holding a gold kettle in her hand, and wearing a flower crown on her head.

She looked about 10 years old and had a pair of white wings growing on her back, as if to prove that she was an angel.

3rd level angel, Liviwa.

It looked exactly like what I had heard from Lisa beforehand.

“Livvy, I would like to borrow your strength.”

Livi keeps looking around as if the summoned world is fascinating.

Lisa called out her name to attract attention and politely asked for a wish.

Then her eyes stopped on Lisa and she smiled and opened her mouth.

‘What are you saying?’

Basically, contracts are concluded as secrets known only to the parties involved.

Unfortunately, I was not a party to the contract and could not hear Libby’s voice.

I could only hear Lisa’s voice occasionally talking to Liviwa.

Even that content related to the contract was filtered out by Liviwa.

“yes? It’s not like that. Gyeonwoo… .”

“… .”

Daejoint: Why is my name being mentioned?

I was just curious as I waved after Liviwa, who was waving at me as if greeting me.

By then, Lisa, who seemed to have reached an agreement while discussing the contract, nodded.

“Yes, I will accept it on that condition.”

Immediately after, Liviwa spread his wings wide, as if announcing that the contract had been concluded.

A bunch of colorful, sparkling lights emerged from her.

The halo of light left her and seeped into Lisa’s body.

After completing her role, she turned into a particle of mana and disappeared.

The channel connected to the heavens was closed, and the air currents in the area returned to their original state.

I approached Lisa, who was standing quietly with her eyes closed, as if she was ruminating on something.

“Are you done?”

“Yes, I will show you now.”

Lisa lifted her eyelids and manifested mana within her body.

She tilted the stone sword in her hand to show off the power she gained from Liviwa.

With the sound of waves.

The stream of water that emerged from the stone cave curved and wrapped around Lisa’s body.

She asked, proud of being protected by the water stream.

“How about this? Does it look useful?”

“Can we put it into practice right away?”

3-level white magic, Shining Wave.

A spell that eliminates the continuous damage caused by black magic of the same level or lower would be of great help in dealing with Oh Jun-sik.

Moreover, the water stream wrapped around the body lessened the attack.

‘I can spend an hour with this.’

Now that I have seen the results Lisa has achieved, there is nothing more for me to do.

I decided not to worry too much about the match between Kang Han-byeol and Oh Jun-sik.

From now on, I will be able to focus on the class I am in.

It was then that a thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘So what did he sign the contract in return for?’

For white mages and black mages, revealing the cost is literally revealing their weakness.

Therefore, no matter how close you were, it was not polite to ask what the price was.

That’s rude.

There is even a saying among them that they should never tell their parents anything.

Not wanting to make Lisa uncomfortable, I decided to suppress my curiosity.

‘If you look at Lisa’s contract, it wouldn’t be a price she couldn’t afford.’

If so, that’s a relief.

The cost doesn’t have to be serious enough to make Lisa unhappy.

After congratulating her on her achievement, I decided to go back to training.

“I’m going to go to training now, what do you want to do?”

“I’ll be back a little longer. “I want to practice so I can handle it a little more skillfully.”

“OK got it. “Thank you for your hard work today, see you tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Gyeonwoo, for helping me today.”

So I decided to leave the training room, leaving Lisa alone.

I left her behind and started to go outside.

‘huh?’

It was then that I felt a strange gaze from behind.

I grabbed the doorknob and turned my head out of curiosity.

and… .

 

“What’re you doing?”

“ah… .”

“i get it. Is that the price? fairly… “That’s an interesting price, isn’t it?”

“… .”

I could see Lisa frowning with one eyebrow and sticking her tongue out.

In addition, the fingers of his right hand were made into a V shape.

When I witnessed that scene, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

I guess that’s the price.

Meanwhile, her face turned bright red when she was caught acting ridiculous.

She cried out in tears.

“Ooh, don’t laugh! You shouldn’t tell your parents either… ! “You saw it, so take responsibility!”

“What is the responsible person responsible for? I feel overwhelmed just taking care of myself and Sky. “Don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere and tell you.”

“I don’t know! If you lose, just lose! And how can I trust Gyeonwoo… .”

Lisa, unable to overcome her embarrassment, speaks gibberish in words that even she does not understand.

Later, he even cried in the language of the Grace Empire… .

Deciding that conversation wasn’t working, I suddenly walked away.

* * *

If we could meet, even briefly, I would like to.

Yeon Ha-neul and I, who had the same thoughts, spent some time together before going to bed like yesterday.

After training, we returned to the dormitory, washed ourselves clean, dressed in comfortable clothes, met in front of the dormitory, and walked on a nearby trail.

At the same time, we exchanged stories about what we experienced that day.

At that time, after hearing my story, she asked a question as if she was curious.

“What was Lisa’s price?”

The soft sky gently grabs my arm and shakes it, as if begging me to let me know.

I was able to see her before the end of the day, and my mouth went up for no reason.

I felt like I could answer anything she asked now.

“I’m sorry, but I have a promise with Lisa so I don’t think I can tell you that.”

Still, what had to be kept had to be kept.

I couldn’t hastily reveal information that could be a weakness to white and black wizards, much less Lisa’s personal information.

Even if the opponent is soft sky, it won’t work.

“tooth… . I also told them that I had been promoted to the 4th rank… .”

“It’s because it’s not my story, so it’s embarrassing to say something carelessly. Heaven please make you understand.”

Yeon Ha-neul glanced at me with sallow eyes, as if she was disappointed with my attitude.

However, rather than being sincere, it was more like a half-joking attitude.

In fact, she was considerate of my position and obediently walked away without interrogating me persistently.

“Hmph, I don’t know. I hate you.”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t go first, come with me.”

“hey? “Did you just tell me to sleep?”

“Would you please come with me, ha, always, ah?”

“Okay, let’s go together. “I will take care of it.”

“Thank you very much, very…” .”

Yeon Ha-neul pretends to be upset, passes me by, and strides forward.

I quickly ran after her and comforted her.

No, it would be more accurate to say that they matched each other.

Our eyes met and we giggled for no reason.

‘By the way, he became the 4th rank… .’

On the one hand, my feelings were complicated.

The fact that Yeon Ha-neul has reached the 4th rank is good news as the game’s story progresses.

However, now that I am in her class, I cannot be purely happy.

‘No, witch, why did you have to do this at this time…? . ‘Isn’t that too much?’

Hong Ye-na, who helped Yeon Ha-neul succeed to the throne, felt resentful.

This is betrayal.

I grumbled to her inwardly and looked down at the soft sky, whose eyes never left me.

“what’s the matter?”

“just.”

I don’t know what’s so good about it, but looking at the brightly smiling Yeon Ha-neul makes me feel better.

Then my thoughts wandered elsewhere.

‘Will he look funny too?’

I was very impressed by Lisa’s strange behavior earlier.

What if Yeon Ha-neul follows suit?

Unable to suppress the curiosity that suddenly arose, I opened my mouth.

“Sky, try your luck.”

“nyah?”

“Yes, Merong.”

“Suddenly, out of nowhere… . Maelong.”

Are you a kid?

Yeon Ha-neul smiled childishly at me and stuck out her tongue as she had hoped.

She flicked her tongue like a snake, repeatedly putting it in and out as if playing with it.

‘Now that I see it… Heaven’s tongue is narrow and long.’

Is this how a dog feels when it sees a rolling ball?

It’s a mean tongue that makes people feel awkward for no reason.

Something, um… .

Why should I say this, um… .

It’s sexy.

“what’s the matter?”

“… Nothing.”

“Suddenly they told me to say something and said it was strange.”

I stopped staring too intently.

I, who had been captivated by Yeon Ha-neul’s tongue, came to my senses late.

Then I pretended like nothing had happened and tried to be as calm as possible.

Change the topic.

“By the way, the sky is you.”

“huh? why?”

“I heard everything from Lisa. “I heard you told the kids that I was a nerd.”

“ah… . But your eyes are right.”

“This guy is coming out with a red flag? Why am I so blind to you? “Sometimes I hear people say I don’t care about you, but honestly, it’s not that bad.”

“Then guess what I was thinking before I met you.”

“… “Do you want to see me?”

“They say tact is good only in situations like this… . how did you know?”

“what… . Because I did the same.”

“… Yes, I see. “So we were thinking the same thing?”

“sure. “It’s not your eyes anymore, is it?”

“Yes, yes, that’s right, Dogyeonwoo child. “Gyunwoo’s child is not completely oblivious, though.”

Yeon Ha-neul giggles.

Before I knew it, I was holding hands with her and shaking my shoulders as well.

So now we went back to the dormitory to sleep.

A few days later, she and I face each other as enemies.

fantasy,
