The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 7 – Unity requires a group

#One

The chairman looked at Manus, who had just entered his second year.

Well, the atmosphere has changed.

In his first year, he was infinitely arrogant and didn’t know how to care for his surroundings.

He was restless and merciless towards the weak.

He also stabbed the servants, but everything went smoothly just because he was Caesar.

But what I see now is something… … It felt more serious.

Even if you stay still, there are people who press on your surroundings.

An aura that is often referred to as the quality of an emperor.

Manus, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, truly showed off Caesar’s veins.

“The atmosphere has become very calm. Yeah, what’s going on?”

“I need help.”

Any help at all -.

The character seemed to be the same.

“Is it surprising that someone like Manus is helpful? What could it be?”

“I want to create a club.”

“club? okay… … It’s club season after a while. You should have submitted it formally, but you must have come to me for another reason, right?”

The chairman was a smart man.

Resolutely refusing the expressionless gaze of Manus, he laughed.

That little smile was always reluctant, but he was a great helper.

“I believed that if the chairman heard it, he would approve it right away.”

“Me?”

“I found an anomaly. It was a different world. That entrance is-“

“-stop.”

His snake-like eyes opened.

The chairman of the board, Nix, who has no fighting ability.

The air changed just as he raised his hand and stopped talking.

The chairman looked at Manus with snake-like eyes.

A force comparable to that of a tyrant seized control of the air.

It was a breathless intimidation, but Caesar remained calm.

Manus continued his speech resolutely.

“The chairman will know.”

“-is it so.”

Director Nix readily acknowledged it.

woo woo-.

He sighed deeply and tapped the blank paper with the pen he was holding.

After a moment’s pause, he opened his mouth heavily.

“Who else knows?”

“Allano is hooked up.”

The chairman nodded quietly.

He gazed at the dot on the blank sheet of paper, lost in thought for a moment.

ziggurat.

A cursed tower that has existed since ancient times, and the only secret left unattended by the academy.

I thought those who could enter must have lost their pulse a long time ago.

Those who could enter the Underworld were called the ‘Chosen Ones’.

The Tower always requires a sacrifice.

Not just the ‘chosen ones’, but even ordinary people.

The Chosen Ones were also called that because they became victims of the Tower.

‘It must be Caesar. Was it because of this that the mood changed?’

The chairman gently closed his eyes and continued his thoughts.

Manus waited without a word.

After a while, the chairman opened his eyes after thinking about it.

He asked the most important question.

“How far have you climbed?”

“-The fifth floor.”

“If you’re alone on the 5th floor… … .”

I had no choice but to admit it.

The tower wasn’t just a place full of curses.

Information left in the faint memory.

That it plays the same role as the dungeon outside.

Those who can enter will face one of two fates.

Either get eaten by the tower, or eat the tower.

‘but-.’

no one ever came back

Why?

Talented people were arrogant, and those without talent were swallowed up by the tower.

The chairman was one of those who witnessed some of the process firsthand.

“I cannot allow you to enter the tower.”

“If you have the power to explore, would you allow it?”

“The two of you won’t be able to.”

Manus smiled lightly.

Is it annoying that he doesn’t lose his composure?

Or are you wondering why?

One eyebrow of the chairman wiggled up and down.

Without missing that moment, Manus drove a wedge.

“Today is the day of two full moons.”

“you’re right. It is forbidden to go outside.”

“Chairman, are you still working here?”

Manus’ speech was confident and unstoppable.

– As if you know the future.

Chairman Nix nodded slowly.

“Please watch from here and give your final consent.”

“… … great. If so, just sign the club establishment application and handwritten signature.”

People who come together for a purpose form a group.

– Associations, – Unions, – Sessions, – Clubs, etc.

It is only natural to form a group for the sake of solidarity.

Originally, it was a club founded by Alano, but it would be better to seek help in advance.

‘Because it might ease the pain.’

Alano is such a character.

A child who jumps in to protect people even if he can’t keep himself healthy.

A child who jumps in despite all kinds of contempt, disregard, and incomprehensible gazes.

I was cursed at a lot because of that sticky bond.

However, she plays a huge role as the club’s mental support.

“Are you the club leader, a Manus student?”

“Harrison Allano. She will be the club president.”

said Manus.

No, it should be considered an appointment here.

A club was being formed for her out of nowhere.

#2

ha-.

Allano sighed.

I was scolded for not being able to concentrate throughout class.

What did you learn today-.

Scratching her head, she recalled the conversation they had had this morning.

I didn’t mean to, but it made me look really embarrassed.

‘eww-. Only then will the student council president lose face… … .’

“Allano.”

Hearing her call, he suddenly raised his head.

Manus.

The culprit who tormented her all morning and afternoon.

He was standing with his arms crossed.

Rano’s long eyebrows curled.

Why is he still here?

I didn’t want to get involved like that…

“Let’s talk for a minute.”

“Whoa… … okay.”

She let out a small sigh and nodded.

Because I fell for the good.

Manus smiled inwardly and moved on.

There are too many eyes here.

The two walked slowly, keeping a small distance, and passed to the left in the middle of the twin towers.

The left tower with various facilities.

Alano remembered what happened yesterday and stopped.

“It won’t change until here, right?”

“that’s right.”

“So, what’s the matter?”

She looked around and asked.

Manus pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom.

Her eyes quickly scanned the letters on the paper.

“Established a club?”

“okay.”

No, I’m going to be busy with the student council president, but what kind of club is this all of a sudden?

I don’t know what the hell she’s thinking, she put her hand on her forehead.

I can’t figure out what this guy is thinking.

She moved her lips to refuse, but Manus spoke one beat faster.

“The chairman knows about the anomaly.”

“What, what?”

“Do you know how old the chairman is?”

Now I remembered the face where the wrinkles were starting to get darker.

however… … how old was he?

I recalled that when someone said ‘Chairman of Mythos Academy’, they all came up with the name ‘Nyx’.

even her father.

“I must have been watching you for quite some time.”

“If it were him, could he help?”

Manus nodded.

Then he handed her the application form.

“Here, sign.”

“… … A cultural exchange club?”

name once… … .

Yeah, but it’s better not to stand out than to have a secret name.

Alano studied the papers carefully and stopped at one place.

“however… … Why is there me in the chapter name?”

“Because you fit the position. There is no activity. We just need to gather members and expand our strength.”

“Power… … Will there be someone like us who can get in there?”

Manus nodded wordlessly.

Can we do it alone?

Alano remembered the terrible maze last night and the strange creatures that inscribed the feeling of fear all over his body.

What can we, as students, do?

The tip of her pen was stained with fear.

“-can do. if you are.”

[Interference begins.]

[Confirmed interference.]

[Reward: Increased magic stone absorption rate]

When I heard Manus’ voice, the trembling stopped like magic.

Why is it you and not us?

Alano seemed to vaguely understand what that meant.

It just means you can’t lead.

Manus will also be looking for help.

Since I went in and out of the place alone, it was probably for the purpose of investigation.

She wanted to know why.

‘Why did I bother to go to that dangerous place?’

“Do you know what happens if you leave the tower alone?”

theoretical story.

It was a question about why they had to attack the tower and why they had to visit it regularly.

To the sharp and standard content, Manus answered simply.

“Everyone dies.”

“… … .”

Tower seeks victims.

Manus read a lot of fantasy novels while on Earth.

The material that came out when I was bored there was ‘Dungeon Break’.

Same goes for the top.

The population of the tower will continue to increase, and if the tower cannot be contained by the world, it will leak out.

There are many other stories hidden, but that’s not what’s important now.

“Right now, there are only two of them.”

“Power will increase. You lead me well.”

“huh? I?”

The ones who really have to become strong are you, the main characters.

If Manus himself is too old, they won’t feel the urgency.

You can grow only when you truly face death and think about life.

Because those are the characters in this game.

limited number of people.

limited resources.

A game where you have to climb a tower with limited magic.

That’s why it was more fun, and it was fun to see each character’s growth.

The process of students who were just running for grades, finding their own values.

-Manus had no right to take away that growth.

“You must be strong. There will be limits to what I can do alone.”

“… … okay. your mind.”

Manus smiled very faintly.

I knew everything, but I don’t have to tell you everything.

I didn’t want to put them in a huge sense of despair.

His smile was not from joy, but from pity.

Alano wanted to step closer to his knowledge.

One day, the day will come to pay off the debt.

‘As expected, you’ve been investigating all of this.’

Alano looked at his friend’s calm eyes and inferred many things.

In addition, I am convinced of the doubts I heard last night.

As expected, Manus must have done it on purpose.

I wanted to help this wayward friend.

Above all, they say that they are the only ones who can do it.

“Okay, I will.”

Harrison Allano.

Her name was written in beautiful handwriting.

It’s done.

One of the game’s main organizations, the Cultural Exchange Club.

‘The problem is that cultural exchanges are exchanges with demons.’

The start went quite smoothly.

Next, all you have to do is create a point of contact between Alano and the main characters.

Manus spoke politely before taking a step.

“You’d better be out tonight.”

“-today?”

She knows about the legend of the night of the full moon.

Going out tonight is against the school rules.

What do you think of your own image?

“-I’m the student council president?”

Manus threw a meaningful expression on his face and disappeared.

It would be great if it didn’t disappear so suddenly.

The image of the tyrant began to dilute little by little.

#3

The sun went down, and two full moons began to rise.

As if getting up under a blanket, two round moons began to rise over the horizon.

Manus was watching it through the window.

Morse.

The day when the god, who had only come down to legend, demonstrates his power.

The whole world turns upside down, and Morse chooses a ‘scapegoat’.

99.99% of humans will go through the day without any problems.

‘The chosen one and the scapegoat… … .’

The god of death sends his minions in search of a scapegoat, and that comes with unimaginable harshness.

The scapegoat is dragged into a state where he can do nothing.

once every three months.

It was the only harvest festival given to the god of death.

A device that makes it impossible to intervene in the incident itself, no matter how strong it is.

It is also a device made so that he and the main character can actively handle their work.

An environment where no one can help and no one can give advice.

A tough schedule is waiting for them to overcome all these difficulties with their own strength.

‘I’ll see the main character’s performance with my own two eyes.’

Today, the main character, Cale, makes an outstanding performance.

Overwhelming talent that the main character correction was given.

You will defeat the first boss by fully demonstrating your outstanding magic skills.

At the same time, you will be taking the first step towards an extraordinary life.

‘It’s also the time to use cadenza in earnest.’

Isn’t that something to look forward to?

magic synthesis.

A fraudulent passive that can overcome the vast difference in weight class.

The event that drew the enthusiasm of the players who saw the full-scale power was imminent.

Manus’ dormitory is at the top.

It was a place where you could see the whole view of the academy at a glance.

Today, I planned to enjoy the event leisurely here on the royal floor.

In fact, it can be seen as a real tutorial boss except for Manus, an event that learns basic combat along with explanations on how to use Cadenza.

The ominous mana he felt in the underworld covered the sky.

The moment that mana reaches the top of the academy-.

“-It’s a start.”

A night where two red moons made a perfect circle.

A world that has stopped completely, where not a single cloud has passed.

The god of death opened his eyes wide, and the time to find his prey had arrived.

and-.

[mmm————————!!]

A guy appeared.

Mage – Ace.

The pinnacle of wizard arcana descended right here.

Not like a wizard, a guy with a sword.

A monster with four swords and a robe appeared.

A person wearing a long mask like a doctor from the Middle Ages.

The red eyes moved around in search of the designated victim.

‘I can see it with my own two eyes. Guys sure… … .’

In the light of two full moons, as if the god of death was looking down, he looked at someone.

The target of the blade that slaughtered everything in sight was a young girl who wandered outside fearlessly on the day of death.

“uh-.”

The girl witnessed and experienced a strange phenomenon.

It started with a very small bet.

night of death.

– A courage test confrontation that started in pairs of two people.

The challenge of the young students soon led to disaster.

Timidly, she grabbed her friend by the sleeve and walked to the dormitory where all the lights were turned off.

A beating heart.

chapped lips.

I put so much strain on my eyes that my temples stiffened.

“Hey, what is this-.”

Brown eyes trembled uncontrollably.

The friend she had been walking with on campus had disappeared before she knew it.

And what I see is a masked monster with a terrifying blade.

My legs were trembling and I was out of breath.

What is this, what is this-!

“Uh-!”

The mana he drew reflexively was immovable.

Prey.

She became a helpless ordinary person in the face of the phenomenon that demons and demoniums experience for those who have been spotted as prey.

My eyes were blurred.

In an unconvincing situation, all accidents stopped.

[Mum-!]

The time has come when real courage is needed, not a test of courage.

However, she couldn’t stand the disaster that came as she sharpened her sword.

The fear of death overtook her, and she finally gave up.

Was it the feeling of wanting to die comfortably rather than feeling fear?

[hmm-!]

A voice unique to a wizard mask was heard, and the arms of sin aimed at their prey.

He wields a knife and makes him bleed.

That was the only purpose of the mask.

The reason he lives and the reason he was born.

Kill it, take its blood, and present it to the owner.

Guided by that instinct, Morse’s servant moved.

When a person’s life was about to fly away due to a simple act, the sun appeared to cover the moon.

[Igni]

Kwaaang-!

A flame as hot as the sun blocked the sacrifice.

“-Stop it right now, you freaking bastard.”

The red hair, which became more vivid in the red moonlight, swayed in the wind.
