The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 29 – Operation to Rescue Melanie

#One

The magic of rummaging through people’s heads.

Magic that manipulates memories.

A magic that reconstructs events.

Since the development of magic, it is the first magic invented and widely used.

One of the settings is that magic was further developed and mankind was able to develop because of it.

However, as time passed, then magic was soon dismissed as forbidden magic.

“I am… … It was just a joke. It didn’t do me any harm.”

“-Follow me.”

I wanted to openly treat him like a criminal, but I regretted not being able to.

How to stab a cop when a criminal is cornered.

Judging that he couldn’t hear the right words with an anxious mindset, he led Libby to a quiet place.

“Tell me in detail.”

“… … that is-.”

Libby stuttered and told the whole story.

The fact that he kidnapped Melanie and locked her in a club room for a while.

I tried to bring him back after a while, but it disappeared soon after.

Of course, I didn’t talk about banned drugs.

Having said that…

“I must have used a forbidden drug.”

“… … !”

Can you even read the mind!

How did you find out?!

Libby’s whole body trembled.

‘It’s strange that even if I stab it like this, the reaction pops out.’

I felt like I knew why I couldn’t rise high even though I was possessed by jealousy in the original work and became a villain.

Yes, it was only this much.

Can such a person be in charge of a family?

“Come to the club room after class. If you don’t come-“

“Ah, I get it! Please don’t tell the professor. I, I have to take care of my family!”

“-Then see you then.”

Manus turned his head without regret.

Libby slumped and sat down in her seat.

In the end, she got nothing.

“How have you been?”

“No luck, I locked Melanie in the club room. Erosion appears to have occurred where she was.”

“then… … .”

Manus stopped by the club room and told the story of the incident.

The children who heard the news were furious.

“I will never forgive you. What kind of place is the tower-!”

“that’s right. I can never forgive you.”

Anais, who usually has a fiery personality, showed her personality right away.

Pearson is also showing subtle anger.

Manus looked back at Cale, who was still listening.

‘Surely, what kind of personality is this guy.’

When you are the main character, the options change depending on the player’s inclination.

Countless branches and lines.

action to choose from.

There, the main character was no different from the player himself.

But here?

What kind of person is Cale, the main character set to the default value that no one is playing?

Manus’s curiosity turned to Cale.

“-I must find a friend.”

Her eyes were shining softly.

The eyes resembling Manus’s were shimmering with mana.

It was the same expression expressed in the illustration when she was angry in the original work.

so I could smile

“It is. Gather here before midnight. Enter the tower from the same place.”

“Is there any way to get in?”

“I will force open the space and enter.”

“… … All right.”

Without Alano, we needed someone to keep us safe.

Furthermore, since this operation was not going through the official route, more security personnel were needed.

‘There must be something to prepare.’

Times were pretty tight.

Manus, who gave the plan, moved quickly.

In the first year, there must be a lot of things to prepare among the first years.

Events like this may come again in the future.

Operation to enter the tower from inside the building.

During that operation, it was an event that started to scatter from a certain floor.

‘The use of communication magic is after ‘she’ joins. Not now.’

So, just in case, we had to get a magic artifact that could communicate with each other.

Then stop by the tower and meet Black and White.

Getting permission to go out was fairly easy.

Since he had already received the full power of the investigation, the justification was sufficient.

Getting magic items was equally easy.

A small bead for communication is an artifact that is widely used in various tests.

A shopping district formed right in front of the school.

“good bye-!”

Caesar.

As long as the family with the overwhelming financial power was supported, funds were not a problem.

For the time being, you can use this tool to communicate.

Right after, I got a disposable tool from Black and White.

“Are you really going to use this?”

“yes.”

“… … It would be dangerous.”

“You will have to accept it.”

White nodded with a puzzled expression.

Thanks to that, the collected magic stones went out a little, but the loss can be made up in the tower anyway.

“then.”

He turned and exited the tower lobby.

The preparations were almost over.

‘Now I just need to gather the children.’

From Libby’s words, I also knew that Revelly-Malito was related.

First of all, the urgent thing is to rescue Melanie.

I planned to talk about them later.

It’s a group that doesn’t have much of a name left anyway.

Now is the time to focus on what is right in front of you.

Manus looked up at the great tower.

‘I hope he’s still alive.’

That way your talent will shine brightly.

Until nightfall, Manus passed the time quietly reading.

Reading books in the club room was quite tasteful.

While I was in the middle of reading a book about class 5, a sudden guest arrived.

“Are you there? This is Veronica.”

“Come in.”

veronica.

Why did the shadow assassin come here?

Manus’ concentration increased to the limit.

The door opened, and Veronica, a maid with pink hair, entered.

She says she hides it, but she has to walk without making a sound like that.

Veronica bowed slightly with an old-fashioned gesture.

“It is late. Shouldn’t we go back to the dormitory soon?”

“Today I intend to study here. Can’t we?”

Veronica hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

It didn’t matter where you stayed at the academy, as long as you did well in class.

Even students whose sole purpose was to graduate would occasionally skip classes.

“There is nothing that cannot be done. Then I will inform the guard in advance.”

“Thank you.”

“I will clean the room. Are you okay?”

Manus gave a small nod and turned his gaze back to the book.

In response to the silent banquet, Veronica quietly disappeared without making a sound.

With a click, Veronica’s expression sharpened as she closed the door.

Isn’t it strange no matter how you think about it?

It was strange that he studied on his own, and that he was so kind to himself.

People don’t change easily.

‘That would be the truth. Why did it change like this?’

If this happens, all the work I’ve been preparing for a year may be in vain.

What should I do-.

Veronica let out a small sigh.

‘It must be true that nothing in the world goes according to one’s will.’

Ehh-.

She sighed secretly and moved on.

Before leaving the main building, Veronica heard the crowd approaching and hid herself in the dark.

The number of people is four.

‘Those children are-.’

They were the children who were assigned to Class 1 A.

It didn’t look very good to walk around one person.

However, when she recognized the identity of that person, she was unconsciously nodding her head.

‘Libby. Person involved in Melanie’s disappearance. no way… … Is Manus in the club room today?’

Her eyes changed sharply.

Isn’t this another interesting case?

Could it be that he is trying to do harm?

‘Just by watching-.’

She hid her presence.

It’s midnight soon.

At the most ambitious hour, what are they trying to do?

“Go in now.”

“-huh.”

Libby was almost dragged along by three classmates.

It was because Cale and Anais, who had heard the story of Manus, visited her like crazy and brought her back.

There is no turning back now.

Libby bowed her head and entered the club room with a lot of tears hanging on her face.

Where she had imprisoned Melanie, she herself was brought in, bound.

A suffocatingly heavy atmosphere lingered around.

“-You’re here.”

“I brought him too. however… … Maybe he can’t get in?”

Manus shook his head.

This method was used by the villains in the original work, so I didn’t want to use it as much as possible… … .

evil to evil.

Being lukewarm was not to his liking.

“I take him on my own. and… … You should see Melanie’s potential.”

“Sometimes I don’t even know what the senior is talking about. Do you too?”

Nodding-.

At Anais’ words, both of them nodded.

Not every once in a while, but all the time.

Hearing Anais whisper, Manus laughed.

Upon meeting his eyes, she immediately averted her head with a groan.

It’s time.

The time when the day and the day interlock.

The time had come to jump into the tower from the only non-official entrance.

Manus put his chin on Libby’s shoulder.

“Ugh-.”

“Still. And you, take this.”

Manus handed out communication marbles one by one in his arms.

The frequency has already been set, so if you inject mana, it will connect to the unified channel.

“If you enter the tower in an unusual way, it is very dangerous. Locate each other and join up with nearby team members.”

“-All right.”

charisma.

accurate transmission.

reliable knowledge.

Cale and others showed eyes of trust.

The foregoing is credible enough, but there was one big one.

– Overwhelming skills.

A skill that seems to defeat any opponent.

The most important factor above all was giving first graders infinite trust.

“Then, let’s go.”

“-yes!”

10 seconds to midnight.

Manus put his own mana on top of Livi’s mana.

A tactic that made Top even recognize Livi as ‘himself’.

You don’t have to tell these kids yet.

You don’t have to tell me already how to notice it later in the game.

It is enough for the tyrant himself to know about this evil method.

‘I will take on the villain.’

So, go ahead and save the world.

“Go in.”

Manus breathed mana into the ‘tool’ from his bosom.

Anger-!

In their place, a dark green gate appeared and swallowed the chosen ones.

everything is tinged with darkness

Manus was no exception to that.

The tower was literally hell.

sounds from all over the place.

dark interior.

Occasionally see bloodstains.

‘How can I get out?’

I was hungry.

My throat was dry, and I couldn’t even solve my period.

I couldn’t even sit still for a while, let alone sleep.

Absolutely the worst…

“If I knew it would be like this, I would have learned life magic.”

I tried to complain in a small voice, but nothing changed.

Will he die here?

In a place where no one knows, without rumors?

– You can’t do that.

I braced my trembling legs and pulled myself away from the pillar I was leaning on.

can’t die like this

I must see the faces of those who sent me here.

And, I will pay them interest to pay off this debt.

Until then, I could never die.

The will is strong, now we need a method.

‘Should I trust those children?’

government ordinance.

Special beings that have existed since time immemorial.

A existence that only a few people can sympathize with and communicate with.

I looked at those who had only been in the way until now.

“… … Can you help me this time?”

She parted her lips shyly, and the spirits smiled whitely.

The laugh was so innocent, it was like a baby laughing.

A child’s laughter is pure, but you don’t know what’s inside.

-of course!

That smile was pure.
