The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game - The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game chapter 179

Episode 179 – Midterms Begin!

#One

By the time Manus arrived at the academy, quite a bit of time had passed.

2 weeks.

Having spent almost 15 days with my family, I suddenly felt strange.

The scenery of the academy was still beautiful, and the air was different.

It’s hard to believe that the Tower of Terrible Calamity is hidden.

He arrived at the dormitory and unpacked his things.

Aden is officially on vacation until tomorrow, so I’ll be with him for the rest of the day.

Magic was really convenient.

All it took was a few waves of hands while I was moving my body around and tidying up my stuff.

“You worked hard. Confucius.”

“What? you suffered more Master’s skills are still far away.”

“To Confucius, it seems like a not too far road. I’ve never seen anyone in my life grow stronger as quickly as Confucius.”

Aden said with a small smile.

She was not the type to throw empty words.

At least in terms of skill.

Manus looked out the window with a small smile.

How high did you climb the tower, did you study well… … .

There were too many questions.

If the sun rises and we meet at the academy, we will be able to answer our questions.

“It will be fine to be alone now.”

“It’s a celebration, I’ll take it sweetly.”

“Or would you like to go for a drink?”

“Whoops… … That’s good too.”

She pours Manus his favorite drink from the fridge.

The two of them clinked glasses and drank in silence.

We didn’t have much to say to each other.

I already saw through everything, and it was a form of seeing and receiving everything.

So I just savored the drink, the time, and the atmosphere.

After drinking a couple of glasses, Aden opened his mouth.

Her gaze at the black night sky contained something unknown.

“Confucius.”

“hmm?”

“After everything is settled, what are you going to do?”

“Shall we go on a trip?”

Aden turned his head to capture Manus’s face.

A face with beautifully shining blue eyes.

It was just a calm face now, but the day that face will be stained with pain and sadness… … there must be

The higher you climb the tower, the more likely these things will happen.

Arden didn’t want to see them suffer.

They were busy competing with each other and living in a fierce world.

Is there a difference between her when she was raised as an assassin and those who are raised here as warriors, wizards, and guardians?

“If it’s hard… … How about quitting at any time?”

“The hard times have not yet come. The children are growing up well.”

“Huh, do you know that sometimes Confucius speaks like an adult?”

“… … There is nothing that can’t be done.”

Originally, he was one of those people who were tired of society.

Huhuhu, in his self-deprecating smile, Aden could see the face of a man who had lived a hard life.

It was a fleeting moment, but Arden definitely felt that way.

“I always say it, but it’s not good to worry too much.”

“I guess it’s because I’m only looking at Confucius.”

“After three years, I plan to travel freely. Then you can go too.”

“Oh my, such an honor. Welcome to me.”

“Tomorrow, the emperor is coming.”

Aden nodded heavily.

It was a face she did not want to see.

Because he was the one who made the days of wandering in the thick darkness.

But what can I do?

“I am okay. It is already in the past.”

“You don’t have to worry?”

“yes. Now, my home is the same place as Confucius.”

[Interference has begun.]

Beyond Aden’s smiling face, a message I haven’t seen in a long time appeared.

What direction is Aden going?

Now, she must have become an existence that Manus himself has to lead.

“It’s late at night.”

“Come to think of it, tomorrow was the start of the exam. There have been many mistakes.”

“It’s okay because I studied in my spare time anyway.”

“Huh, you should take a good rest and keep your seat at the top. I will just step away.”

Manus nodded.

Aden went into the shadows and completely disappeared.

Emperor.

What was he thinking when he came to the academy?

So many things had changed, it was hard to guess.

Human behavior always has a cause.

There must be a reason why the flow of the story has changed so much.

He also knew that most of the reasons were himself.

“also… … There is only one answer.”

At times like this, there was only one way to become clearer.

The day was bright.

Manus got up before dawn and walked around the academy.

Now he can run at a fairly high speed, and it took less than an hour to circle the huge academy.

When I washed up and came out, I saw people already going to school.

I rode the magic elevator to leave the dormitory.

Before the door closed, Guillermo, who lives on the same floor, jumped on board.

Because of the thick armor, it was also briefly rattled.

The elevator descended smoothly.

“I heard that you came back. That Caesar had won.”

“It was pretty bland.”

“Now I can climb the tower again.”

There, Manus felt puzzled.

What Guillermo said sounded like he hadn’t climbed a tower in two weeks.

So I asked.

what they did for 2 weeks.

“Have you never climbed a tower before?”

“It seemed so. Our party is understaffed without you… … Everyone was a member of the student council.”

“… … Serious.”

“Why?”

Manus let out a small sigh.

there is an allano There is Nia. There is Kale and Anais.

Still, why didn’t they climb to the top?

Each of them must have their own circumstances.

but… … .

“Everyone seems to think that climbing the tower is like training… … .”

For the first time, I didn’t like their behavior.

Manus himself didn’t want to be an old man, but if he had to, he would.

Guillermo said, looking at Manus, who was staring into the air with a terrifying expression.

It seems that he, too, felt it vaguely.

“Everyone must have gotten used to it. There was also the chesthip thing.”

“The tower is a place you should never get used to.”

“Then you have to wake me up again. Isn’t it?”

Guillermo was right.

Even in the original work, he appeared in the role of firmly holding on to the party who were going astray or lax.

Manus was also one of those who believed his course was right.

The tower was not a place to go to play.

A place where you climb to get something, achieve something, become stronger, and save the world.

It was a place where you always had to be nervous, always go in and check the situation.

At least that’s how Manus felt.

‘These are missing… … .’

I wondered if it made me depend on it too much.

I did improve my skills a lot.

I gained a level that I couldn’t reach normally and a unique magic.

However, it was not a story about having a relaxed mind.

Confidence, self-confidence, and the guts not to be intimidated in the face of enemies.

All he wanted was those feelings.

It would never have been conceited or laid-back.

‘okay… … This must be all my fault.’

Mistakes have to be righted.

Today, Manus was ready to go back to Kkondae.

Midterm exam!

Thinking back to my school days, it was a pretty big event.

It was even more so at Mythos Academy.

The midterm exam was like a contest where students showed off the knowledge they had learned during the half semester.

It is not a competition between similar age and similar skills, but a place to be evaluated by those who are much stronger.

In the position of evaluation, where they could become teaching assistants or professors, students were able to freely reveal their skills.

The evaluation was divided into practical and written.

“I heard that this monster hunt is the best ever?”

“really? Aren’t people dying too?”

“It could be. If you really can’t afford it… … .”

Mitos Academy values the safety of its students, but it was not without accidents.

Fighting monsters is always a way to risk your life.

It was a kind of disgrace to be careless, or to die from a monster because you were too weak.

Those who cannot keep up with the curriculum designed by the academy are just dropouts.

Some people will be sad, but even so, it will eventually be forgotten from everyone’s memory.

In order to avoid such an unfortunate incident, students will do their best today.

“Everyone has gathered. Congratulations Manus students. I heard the news.”

“thank you.”

“I hope you take good care of the midterm exam today and reap the beauty of the end. Then, let’s start briefing about the midterm exam.”

Professor Trail started the briefing.

The midterm exam was nothing special.

It was literally a test that we know what we have learned so far.

The practical test, which is the most important and the core of the grade.

The theme of this practice was ‘contest’.

Just in time for this midterm exam, a distinguished guest is coming, so all you have to do is show off what you learned at Mitos Academy to them.

Since the entire week was used for midterm exams, I also prepared time to have a social gathering after the practical and written notes.

“There will be many distinguished guests watching the midterm exams. You will have to learn how to interact and talk with them as a member of an empire or kingdom.”

“yes!”

The students’ answers were ambiguous.

It was the first midterm exam like this, so everyone seemed to be amazed.

Rumors had already spread, and each of them planned to work hard to appeal to their families.

Although Manus was more interested in other things than midterms.

Nia, who glanced at Manus, felt a somewhat ferocious atmosphere and sent a worried look.

Has the aftermath of the war not yet gone?

Sitting with arms folded as if planting was uncomfortable… … .

“That is all. The midterm exam will start from the first period in a while, so please take a seat and wait.”

“yes.”

given time.

Nia couldn’t contain her curiosity and jumped up and approached Manus.

It seemed that the students were also trying to get away from him, as if he felt that his atmosphere was unusual today.

Manus’s eyes met.

she asked.

“you… … are you okay?”

“yes. Nothing special.”

“But why are you in the mood to go away like that?”

“I don’t feel very well.”

“huh? why?”

Manus put the book he was reading into and looked into Nia’s eyes.

As if he didn’t know anything, his golden eyes twinkled.

I knew that she was busy.

How should I speak, so they can understand and move on?

While acknowledging the hard work of the children, can they appeal their thoughts?

This part was the hardest.

You must have worked harder than others, but isn’t it a little harsh if you just curse?

“Is the student council’s job done now?”

“No, I can’t go there because of that… … Everyone is not talking right now.”

“Honestly, I believed you would climb the tower without me.”

“that is… … Have you only climbed it once?”

Her words that followed reminded Manus that he was seriously misunderstanding something.
