The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 19 – A girl searches for a savior

#One

It was a coincidence.

An incident that Manus didn’t really intend, but it happened naturally.

He needed time to think, and deliberately went back a long distance.

From campus to dorms.

What he was thinking was nothing.

How will Cale and the others prepare a foothold for growth?

What advice would you give, and what path would you take?

‘Black magic tells you when… … . hmm?’

I saw three students.

One was huddled in a corner, shivering, and the other two surrounded and threatened one.

It was such a horrible sight that it gave me a headache.

I also thought of myself in the past.

It is not the body that lived as a tyrant like the original Manus.

He was the one being dominated.

I wasn’t bullied badly, but I didn’t have a presence.

‘Yes, there was that child.’

I was still trying to get in touch.

A character that starts out pink and has hair that shines in five colors.

When the illustration was first released, people said, ‘What kind of human head is this!’

However, when I saw it in the game, it was a fairly well-chosen character.

Born and raised in a merchant family, he is a genius who is good at calculating profit and loss and contracted with spirits.

He is also known as the heretic of the ‘Harry’ family, the largest merchant family in the East.

‘Are there many enemies in the family?’

The Harry family is cool and calculating.

That’s why he was famous for not caring about circumstances.

Trust is the life of a merchant.

It’s important when you give things away, but vice versa.

If you don’t pay the price in time, it’s a famous family in ruthless hands.

In the very beginning, ‘Harry Melanie’, a character suffering from this background.

‘It’s natural.’

It was a natural encounter, as if someone had arranged it.

Isn’t it a very good opportunity?

Leaving a strong impression is a very important task.

That way, you can remember a little more and make them come back a little more.

“Stop it, stop-”

“Shut up you piece of trash. If you still can’t come to your senses-“

“Because of your family, my brother’s dream was thwarted. And my mother still hasn’t come out of the room-!”

Why is that because of you?

Melanie was devastated by constant scolding, criticism, and persecution.

I wanted to shoot magic right away and kill them.

But one line, the string of reason, was supporting it.

Unlike the cold-blooded family members, she was timid and introverted.

Because he was very emotional, he saw things that ordinary human beings could not see.

For example-.

Shall I sweep it all away? huh?

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just talk, I’ll kill them all.

Do you have time to mess around with all this crap? kill it-.

‘no-.’

A terrible whisper in her ear.

Their nails wrapped around their bodies so tightly that they dug into their flesh, but their impulsiveness did not stop.

Kill them, torment them, make them suffer, they disrespect you, you can do it, why are they holding back, disrespecting you, disrespecting us, so gouge out their eyes right now, their tongues cleavage, take out the things in your stomach, bend your knees so you never look up again, prove your worth,

“Something is being installed.”

As if trying to brainwash them, a voice was heard amidst the painful whispers.

Melanie opened her closed eyes.

There were no distracting noises or the touch of a classmate that inflicted physical pain.

There, there was a man who sprayed his presence with huge mana.

The beings that linger around Melanie and always instigate murder and violence shrank in fear.

The classmates who bullied her held their breath.

“M-Senior Manus-”

“senior! Listen, this is the infamous Harry family!”

Manus’ blue eyes, which had been staring into the air, moved.

The cold, cold pupil, devoid of emotion, stared at them mercilessly.

-So what?

These emotions are clearly revealed, and rather embarrassing to the one who raised the voice.

A suffocating silence ensued one after another.

And his pink lips parted slowly.

“Wasn’t this Mithos Academy?”

“… … .”

What he said was a dagger that tore apart their actions and attitudes.

This is Mythos Academy.

No matter what status and past you have outside, you are called and treated by one name here.

Mythos Academy student.

There is no identity as simple and clear as this.

This was Mitos Academy, a space where one could be free from the past and did not have to worry about social status.

Isn’t it a place where students are evaluated solely on their ability as students?

“Don’t do anything you will regret. After all, you are the one who gets ugly.”

“… … let’s go.”

Those who grit their teeth and leave in front of unavoidable power.

It’s not that I don’t know their feelings.

Everyone has their own motives and reasons.

However, the motive and reason are not the criteria for judging whether an action is right or wrong.

They must have their own circumstances.

I knew that taking care of the situation one by one was a shortcut to driving the situation to ruin.

“-Go away, you guys are not children to look after.”

-What are you!

Don’t bully our friend!

I’ll help you this time!

I’ll help you, I’ll help you!

“Oh no-! Get out of here-!”

Melanie covered her ears and screamed.

The malevolent voice that had been bothering her was gone.

Heo-eok-, heo-eok-, it was pitiful to see him exhale.

Manus waited for her to calm down.

Wiping out a cold sweat, she raised her head.

I felt like a mysterious person.

‘This person… … .’

tyrant.

People called the person in front of them that way.

It was said that he was ruthless and had no mercy in his hands, like an aristocrat.

He was arrogant and looked down on others like bugs, but he made it impossible for anyone to touch him with that skill alone.

For a fleeting moment, she thought.

If I had been strong like Lee, those kids wouldn’t have bothered me.

I was envious, and also jealous.

“It’s a spirit.”

“Can you see it?”

Manus nodded slightly.

Melanie nodded and bowed her head.

Born and raised in a merchant family, he lived a life sensitive to Eun-won relationships.

Apart from her innate personality, that environment changed Melanie.

“I will definitely return the favor. thank you so much.”

“It’s not a big deal, but it should be paid for.”

“I’m comfortable with that too.”

Manus thought for a moment.

Unlike Harry Melanie, who looks so delicate, he is in a tank position.

In addition, he was excellent at dealing with spirits, and was truly a tier 1 soup character.

and another one.

It also served as an NPC in charge of sub-quests that could further develop the character’s abilities.

It serves as a medium to escape from the space of school, where the stage is extremely limited.

“Then, now, can I return as a member of the Harry family?”

“yes?”

“Pay the price as a merchant, not a wizard.”

Melanie stared blankly at Manus.

what are you asking for?

Do you know that you hate your family?

no, how would you know that?

Still, the debt must be paid off.

He nodded heavily.

“Unless you’re a wizard… … Do you want to borrow the power of the family?”

“No, it is your strength.”

I couldn’t understand.

He himself did not properly learn the business of a merchant.

A situation where there is nothing that can be called power.

What can a young student with no knowledge, power, or funds do?

she pursed her lips.

Before I could refute, I heard Manus’ voice first.

“You just have to be a bridge. The outside world needs a lot of talented people.”

“ah-.”

she was smart

If I hadn’t understood even though I was saying this, I wouldn’t have been able to enter Mythos Academy in the first place.

Melanie.

No, there was one thing to be proud of as the Harry family.

-Networking.

Due to the nature of being a merchant family, they had overwhelming personal connections.

At the same time as Manus cleared the sub-quest line first, he decided to enlist her help for the mission he had his eye on this time.

Melanie’s gaze turned to the small piece of paper Manus was holding.

A request for an external mission that the sophomores say.

Manus probably wants help with that matter.

That much was enough.

“I can help. All you have to do is contact the family.”

“Thank you. If you need help in the future, please come.”

After saying that, Manus disappeared.

up to here now.

If she intervenes further, the stage for her to unleash her true power will be distorted.

-It’s unfortunate, but Manus is a complete outsider.

Melanie listened to the sound of footsteps in the stillness.

Was the sound he wanted to hear so precious?

“ha-.”

She too trudged along.

Their whispers were no longer heard.

It was peace that came after a long time.

#2

Returning to the dormitory, Manus looked at the note.

What was written there was a familiar family crest.

External missions, what users called sub-quests, have grades.

From bronze missions to silver, gold, platinum, ruby, diamond, and mithril.

As of the 2nd year, the most outstanding class A’s duties are usually gold to platinum.

This was a task that could only be taken on by the Alano level throughout the school year.

‘I wonder if it was at the level of a side leg there too.’

It is the role of Mithos Academy students to return as an assistant or field trip even on such a mission.

Because it was a place to see talent.

But this… … .

“Diamond mission, should I say Caesar-like?”

What does this mean?

A mission that only came in for 2nd year, diamond grade.

At least it means that I won’t even look at it unless I have the skills to defeat an adult ogre alone.

The handwriting felt quite familiar.

Is it a remnant of the original body’s memory, or is it because it’s the handwriting I’ve seen a lot on the screen?

Either way, it wasn’t really outrageous.

“You can see the faces of the family members who were wrapped in veils.”

＜Investigation request＞

＜Caesar’s rule, I will go to find clues about the disappearance of the knight＞

＜Mission Accomplishment: Escort the Knights＞

＜Affiliation: Caesar Wizard＞

＜Required time: 2 days＞

It looks like something is going on in the family.

Manus wondered.

What is the appearance of the Caesar family, which is praised as the strongest?

family… … What kind of look will those who should be called “the” greet him?

What kind of expression would his father, who had told him not to do anything, look at him?

So I chose this quest.

The acquisition of [High Restio] will soon be over.

A mandatory passive that replenishes HP/MP once per turn.

There is no need to be afraid of long-term wars.

‘In the meantime, I’ll have to absorb the magic stone.’

The departure is tomorrow, but there was plenty of time.

I was thinking of climbing the tower today to capture the splendid appearance of the family that I had never seen before in the original work.

‘boss… … Let’s catch it.’

I’m not going to climb the tower without Alano.

Today’s tower is Manus’ solo stage.

My body itched.

He led his light body and headed for the tower.
