Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 53

(EP-53.2) Theo # 2

053 – Silver Rookie Theo #2

Because it was the first day, the lecture ended much earlier than expected. As everyone rushed out, I also exited the classroom.

Now, I was heading towards a vacant lot at the back of the building.

It was a quaint place with trees and grasses swaying in the wind. This could be considered a quiet place.

From there, I went into a deeper alley.

I then took out a note as well as a chalk that I had stolen from the classroom.

“Eum.”

With this, I began to draw the picture that Professor Balan showed earlier on the ground. It was difficult to draw a perfect circle like Professor Balan, but I made it work.

Sch.

The ancient magic circle was thus completed.

I then said over it.

“Belial.”

Woo woo~.

The magic circle began to glow.

At the same time, the characters written on it also emitted ‘eye-piercing’ light.

I felt a kind of ‘concept’ coming into my head like it was being seeded inside.

「Belial: A spell that nullifies magic lower than the caster’s rank, making it worthless.」

‘Oh my...’

The words that just appeared before my eyes gave off a very strange vibe.

It was like the problem which had existed for a long time suddenly got solved with a flash of inspiration.

I could negate magic that was lower than mine?

“Belial.”

When I mentioned the word again, the sensation of something changing in my body could be vividly felt, even though I didn’t draw a magic circle this time.

Zi-ing, zi-ing.

There was a tingling sensation in my limbs and a slight vertigo.

I could instinctively tell that this was the feeling of using magic. It was probably because of Angmar’s blood flowing in my veins.

「Mysterious magic!

Gained job experience for ‘Mage’. +50」

‘I see.’

No, wait.

If this was so, wouldn’t the word ‘Halpas’ that I mentioned during the duel also have some kind of meaning?

Eherm-.

After clearing my throat, I muttered in a moderate voice.

“Halpas.”

Then, once again, characters came to view.

「Halpas: A bird taming spell. The higher the caster’s rank, the longer and more they can tame various kinds of birds.」

Awesome!

So, this was the reason why birds suddenly attacked Efside.

Speaking of, were there any birds here?

As I looked around, I saw pigeons sitting on a faraway tree. There were more pigeons on the campus than I thought.

I then shouted at them.

“Halpas-.”

Purr.

Purreok.

About ten pigeons flocked to me and sat on my arms as well as shoulders. It was then that I suddenly remembered pigeons carried many pathogens...

“Eiit, pweh, get out of here!”

As I was flailing my arms out back and forth to drive the birds away...

“Commoner.”

I felt someone’s presence behind me.
