"'Breathing in'. Another unlucky day." The young man sighed while throwing out a salty taste with a slight crunchy texture from his mouth.

His with a face full of dark liquid that clung tightly to his entire face, making him look like a mud monster. The liquid also had a pungent odor, which even any animal with a nose would not want to go near.

His name was Victorious Norma. He had been stuck in this shabby place for a very long time.

The place was like a prison that smelled like sewers. Even prison seems better than this place, he thought.

He had been stuck in this place for a long time. Because of his unique misfortune. His entire family said he was the incarnation of bad luck itself.

The way he was trapped in this place was even more unique.

A few hours ago.

...

In a kingdom called Veldaza.

A library full of so many books that this place was even nicknamed the 'World Library' because of the large number of books and the complete selection of books in this place.

This library is very spacious, besides that the books look very complete, if you look carefully, there is not a single empty shelf.

The library has three floors.

The first floor is used for ordinary visitors, the students of the Veldaza School of Magic, often come to this place to do their homework.

While the second floor is used by the Elche (5th level witches) while for the 3rd level, it is used by important figures of the Veldaza Kingdom.

...

Victor who was a beginner who wanted to become an Alche [Level 1 Magician] was in search of materials to do his homework.

He was in this library with one purpose. To complete his assignment that asked him to find materials about magic and then explain its use.

Throw away the usual magic books! Victor felt that if his magic materials were ordinary, then the grades the old professors would give him would also be ordinary.

"This one is too ordinary!" Putting back the book on fireballs, he walked away in search of other magic, which looked interesting and unusual.

After searching for quite a while. A sense of dissatisfaction came from his heart. He complained, "What is the 'World Library', even the school library is better than this place."

Regret came from the bottom of his heart. He felt, he should have taken the material on 'Levitating' magic in his school library instead, even though levitating magic was quite common, the important thing was that it was not a very common magic that was easy to master.

The look on his face darkened, he regret deepened as well.

But fortunately he found a black colored book, the interesting magic formation image on the cover also caught his attention. He thought that the ink book was a 'teleportation' spell that was quite famous. The location of this book is in the corner of a shelf that does not attract attention.

"Why don't they put unusual spells like this up front. Are these spells forbidden?" He thought as he assured himself that the spell book he was holding wasn't actually something forbidden.

He didn't know much about 'teleportation' spells, even if this spell was forbidden. What did he care! Writing down the chant, the terms of use, and explaining about this magic would get her full marks from his professor, and he could even get a reputation.

Standing up, he read the book with focus.

The book was quite thick, his small hands even objected a little. His focus continued to be on the book, he also walked to a seat in the library, because over time his hands began to ache.

Once seated, his concentration intensified. Even the buzzing flies didn't bother him

Closing the book.

After reading for a while he knew that the teleportation he read about was a formation spell.

"It shouldn't be a problem. Because those old professors didn't tell the students clearly, whether it was an ordinary chant type spell, or some other type"

If the old professors had protested, he would have said 'You didn't clearly say what kind of spell you wanted the students to decipher. So it's not my fault!' Victor was sure the old professors wouldn't blame him.

Victor was afraid of forgetting the contents of his book, so he decided to borrow the book he was holding.

Walking to the book lending station.

This lending library was very special. From the information he knew, the Kingdom of Veldaza was cooperating with Ardrick Technology. As Veldaza's first request, they purchased a device from Ardrick, a creature made of iron that had its own consciousness. The creature he was referring to was now in front of him.

The piece of iron had square eyes, the color of its eyes was a bright sea blue, its shape was somewhat human-like, its head was oval like a frisbee, its hands were also long like tentacles made of iron, strangely this creature had no mouth and no ears.

The hunk of iron looked at the book he had borrowed, then said, "Is this all, sir?" While taking the stamp next to the quill.

"Yes." He replied while looking at his curiously, as if it was the first time he had seen that piece of metal.

The lump of iron held the stamp, opened the book, and stamped the front of the book, then said, "Return no less than a week, if it exceeds the specified time, a fine will be imposed as a penalty." He closed the book and put the stamp back in its place.

Receiving his stamped book, Victor said, thank you! Then immediately rushed home to read his book.

...

His house was quite big. He actually lived in a mansion with his parents and younger sister, but because his parents were afraid that he would bring his younger sister into his misfortune, his parents decided to buy a house for him, then told him to live independently.

He entered the house quickly, eager to practice famous 'teleportation' formation magic.

After entering his house, he was greeted by four different doors, without a second thought he ran to the leftmost door.

The room itself wasn't that big, but at least it was comfortable and neat. Even with only one bed, one desk with its drawers, one chair, and one wardrobe. Making his room easy to clean.

Victor placed the book on his desk while dragging his wooden chair for him to sit on.

His focus had returned to the book.

"I need bull horn chalk, six magic horse teeth, and blood bat blood."

He felt that the materials used for this teleportation magic were quite expensive, so he decided to use the money he had saved.

Afterward, he rushed to buy them from the magic material shop near his house.

...

A vermyl magic material shop.

For a small shop that sold magic materials, this shop was quite complete, the price was also affordable. Since this magic ingredient shop is also small, don't think about looking for magic ingredients such as dragon horn, or humlock heart.

Picked up the materials that he wanted to buy. The total was 700 orns coins, the magic horse teeth were sold in units of 50 orns, so when he bought 6 pieces, the total would be 300 orns, the remaining two items were 200 orns each.

Bringing the items he wanted to buy to Madame Vermyl, he quickly paid for them.

Before leaving Madame Vermyl asked Victor, "What are you buying these materials for?" Somewhat confused, feeling that a schoolboy like Victor was buying magic materials.

As he walked away, Victor exclaimed "Magic formation!" Then walked out of the shop, rushing towards his house.

"Formation? What grade is he in?" Supposedly the material about formations was taught when in 4th grade, he even learned formations in 4th grade, then was Victor in 4th grade? He seemed to have forgotten.

All materials are ready

Victor began nailing the horse's teeth to the floor to form hexagons that looked connected. Next, he drew lines and then began to connect them using chalk made from bull horns. Finally, connect the lines that have been straightened by applying blood bat blood.

The teleportation hexagon formation is complete!

Now the rest of the chant. Before casting the spell he decided to prepare first by moving all the items he had stored into his wardrobe.

After doing everything, he stood on top of the formation.

Victor lowered his body then his hand touched the formation.

"Teleport!"

The purple color shone brightly, quickly the bright light raged around the formation fiercely.

BANG!

The formation exploded quite violently then disappeared from the floor of his room. The room was not scratched in the slightest even though the formation exploded.

Just when he thought the formation had somewhat brought him to where he thought it would.

...

"Ouch!"

Victor fell to the ground.

A puddle of thick black liquid that was quite sticky stuck to his face. His entire school shirt was even covered in the thick liquid, making his clothes stink.

Because the odor was so strong, he almost spit out his food. Fortunately he quickly covered his nose and began to adapt to the smell of this place.

Getting up slowly due to the pain that was quite looming over his face.

"Where am I?"

He wiped off the sticky black liquid and dust that had settled on his face. His gaze was drawn to the surroundings of the room which was covered by a thick stone wall that was mossy on most sides. The floor was also very slippery due to the puddle of strange and smelly black liquid underneath.

Because he was still confused by his current situation. Even the gapless moss wall that made it impossible for him to escape made him not panic for the time being.

After observing for a moment. His face began to panic. This room had no way out, only a small gap the size of an small rat on one side of the wall.

Now she only hoped to master the magic that could shrink his body. But it seemed that he was still not completely hopeless. The wall of the room he was in seemed to be quite fragile, allowing magic such as ordinary 'fireball' to still be able to destroy it if it was strong enough or used continuously.

The fireball magic began.

BOOM

One by one the fireballs hit one side of the wall, making it quite fragile as it began to crack little by little.

"I can finally get out." His face was already relieved at being able to quickly get out of this annoying place.

Unfortunately. When the wall was almost destroyed the mana (magic fuel) had run out, causing the fireball magic to be stopped.

Seeing his hopes slightly dashed made him somewhat sad, as his own body was unable to do so. This meant that he had to be stuck in this place for several hours, waiting for his mana to be full again.

Because he felt that hope was not waiting for him, he had to wait for hope, then he could escape from this place with his full ability. The less his mana, the weaker his strength, so in order to be sure to escape from this place, it was better to wait until his mana was full again.

He was now leaning against the mossy wall, thinking, 'why was he always unlucky, even his parents kept him away from his younger sister', meaning, 'would being a little unlucky affect others, after all luck is not even a disease that would be contagious, if he was even so eager to transmit it'.

In the boredom of waiting for his mana to fill up again, he began to try various other activities to relieve his boredom.

He was now leaning back due to the fatigue of small activities. Teleportation magic is a magic that deserves to be cursed, he thought as he changed his sitting position due to the discomfort the cold wall behind him.

"Bored!"

He began to fall asleep due to the boredom that was tormenting him so much.

Several hours passed.

He woke up tired and sore all over. Reapplying his fireball magic.

Shatter!

After the barrage of fire magic he used, right on his last fireball, the wall was successfully destroyed. Behind the wall was a staircase made of iron firmly attached to the stone wall. This place seemed to be a true sewer, but why what was the function of this gapless place. His gaze was fixed on the torment of boredom he had gone through.

He climbed the stairs and opened the strong metal cover in the shape of a circle. After climbing up what he saw was a large, towering wall, slightly intimidating. These are the city walls of Veldaza, he thought, he was just outside the city.

The morning sky when he used teleportation had also turned into a dim afternoon.

"Damn, soon the night will come"

He didn't want to enter the city with his smelly clothes and equally smelly body. Tomorrow he also thought of taking a short absence to wash his only school clothes.

But since there was no water source close to Veldaza, entering the city in his current condition was a wise and reasonable choice. Although it was hard on his heart, but since there was no other choice, he could not bargain for his current situation.

He walked slowly but silently, occasionally sneaking around to check out the situation. Fortunately, the gatekeeper was currently resting, so she began to gallop through the gate.

Running faster when he reached the gate then headed towards his house without looking back to make sure no one saw him.

A little blonde-haired girl happened to pass by to buy some groceries that her parents had sent her. Her destination store was also not far from her house.

Dap, dap, dap.

The fast footsteps startled her who was remembering the groceries her mother told her to buy.

Seeing the figure wearing her school clothes and her fluttering white hair made her vaguely recognize that figure.

She narrowed his eyes.

"Victor!" Exclaiming in surprise, she was also a little at him. "What is he doing at this hour?" She thought as she stared at the water dripping from his friend's shirt.

Continuing to walk to her destination store. Although somewhat surprised and confused about what her friend was doing, she didn't really care or curious at the moment, after all tomorrow she could also ask him, she thought as she continued walking.

Arriving at his house, he quickly opened the door and slammed it.

"No one saw me, right?"

While walking to the bathroom to clean herself up then put his clothes in a wooden basket, so that he could take them to the laundry and drying center that was located quite close to his house.

At his school after the incident two days ago.

His dirty clothes were now clean. Now he had to explain the reason for his absence yesterday.

In the homeroom room. Neatly arranged several decorations made of quality glass and certainly expensive, also have symbols that are well painted and unique in each vase.

Now in front of him was an old man with calm hair, his face looked calm, he also took a few sips of the still warm tea he had made.

Putting down his teacup that he had drunk half of.

"So why didn't you leave yesterday?" His tone was casual yet firm. Without saying much, he got straight to the point.

Victor's initially relaxed face turned slightly distressed.

"Well, sir."

When he wanted to explain to his professor. A sense of doubt began to haunt him. He was afraid that his professor teacher would spread the embarrassing incident that happened two days ago.

The professor eyes fell on victor who looked hesitant. He seemed to be able to guess what his student had gone through.

"Take it easy, I'm not the kind of person who leaks other people's secrets."

Hearing that his professor could guarantee his secret, made him somewhat relieved. He then looked at his professor with a confident gaze. Maybe if he was told to choose one figure who could be trusted, choosing the old man in front of him was probably the choice he would definitely make.

Victor began to tell his story from beginning to end.

The old man in front of him was surprised because he did not expect his student to do such a stupid thing as trying teleportation magic, a magic that normally only Dache (4th level magician) could use freely, and his student instead chose to use an alternative method whose success was not even guaranteed.

Professor Aldy before him was at least an Elche. Victor thought, 'at least Mr. Aldy should know about teleportation magic. Judging from his response, it shouldn't be a forbidden magic', he thought while breathing a sigh of relief that at least he wouldn't be punished.

"Hear me." Aldy wondered whether he should punish his student or not. He continued, "Since you used advanced magic without a supervisor, I will punish you." His hand reached into the air, and suddenly a book appeared from the air. He then placed the book on the table, "Write down all the basic magic you know and then explain it in detail until this book is filled. I'll give you time until next week."

The book was quite thick and probably about the same length as a normal encyclopedia, it even reached 50 pages.

His eyebrows twitched at the sheer weight of the task, even cleaning toilets for a week felt better than these pads.

It was a pity that his small hands had to fill this thick book. His gaze fell on Aldy's eyes as if he was questioning 'are you serious?"

In response to his gaze, he started walking away, adding, "If you don't finish on time, you should copy all the history books in the school library." Of course he wasn't serious. Just a small threat to scare his student.

It was even worse than filling out this book. The punishment for failing to fulfill the assignment given by Aldy was even worse. let alone copying the entire history book in the library, even copying one history book he didn't want to, besides being boring and the amount of text and data - a lot of data that even he himself didn't understand, the content alone made him lethargic when he wanted to start writing it.

"Shit. It's all the fault of that damned formation." He exclaimed in his heart as he continued to curse the strange book he found.

After leaving his homeroom. He was now at his school cafeteria, eating with his friend.

A blonde girl was sitting in front of him while spooning the soup she was eating.

She stopped putting food into her mouth, then asked.

"Two days ago, I saw you running with wet clothes. Where were you?" Lily asked, eating her soup casually.

Her gaze shifted from her food, now fixed on Victor. She hoped his friend would answer her.

Victor who was asked, just continued eating his food while saying.

"Me? When? Where? You're mistaken. I rarely go out of my house, even doing something careless, that's something I can't possibly do." He said casually while continuing to emphasize to her friend. In order not to look suspicious, he casually ate his food.

Lily in front of him rolled her eyes, thinking 'I know you don't want to tell me. If you insist on not confessing, I'm even more convinced that my eyes must not be mistaken', she also pretended to forget about it for now.

Victor was now eager to change the subject, so he suddenly said.

"It seems that for the time being, I won't be able to participate in club activities." He said, expecting Lily to forget his question.

Because he already knew that what happened yesterday was a fact. She was already less curious, she agreed to change the topic that his friend was suddenly talking about.

"I see... What is the reason indeed?"

Victor was relieved that his friend seemed to have forgotten about what happened two days ago, he continued.

"Yes. It's all because Mr. Aldy gave me a lot of assignments."

"Well then, how much is that."

Victor took out the book he got from Aldy and put it on the canteen table, he then said.

"Here. Mr. Aldy told me to fill in all the pages." He touched the book with his palm.

"This book?" Lily raised both hands then hold the book, "What did he tell you to fill in?"

"He told me to fill it in with all the magic I'm good at and then explain in detail."

Lily got up from her chair, preparing to walk away. As she walked away she said.

"Then I wish you good luck with your assignment."

Walking away from the cafeteria as the food ran out. Although she was a little disappointed that his friend didn't want to explain about the incident two days ago, it didn't matter! Because she could already confirm that it was a fact and not a lie or a misunderstanding or something.

Seeing that the troublesome girl had left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily she doesn't know about what happened to me, if she know, I'm sure the whole class would laugh at me." Staring at his friend's back as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

He also quickly eat his food then hurriedly left the cafeteria to continue his class.
