The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 31 – It’s pretty easy to ruin your life

#One

Anais and Cale defeated the enemies with fantastic teamwork.

A lot of magic stones and artifacts have fallen.

Too much for two people to move.

“Whoa… … How do I move all of this?”

“In your pocket?”

“Uh- Rob will explode. Let’s put it in as soon as possible. Buy a subspace pouch later.”

Cale nodded while taking the magic stones and artifacts.

If I knew what was what, I would pick out the good ones and go.

Unfortunately, the two couldn’t use emotion magic.

Magic that seemed irrelevant in my entire life was so necessary.

While thinking the same thing, the two men cleaned up their surroundings and put in communication.

“senior? Pearson? Where are you?”

“On my way-. Only you two need to join.”

“Do you know the way?”

Finding your way from the tower must be a very difficult task.

Especially if they are scattered like this.

Pearson was elated, as if he were finding his way.

“Ahem. We have an invincible all-around solver, the tyrant Manus. I’m on my way, so don’t worry and wait.”

“That, yes. Aren’t you by my side?”

“that’s right. omg-.”

Communication ended there.

I didn’t really care what happened after that.

At least the scolded Pearson must have heard another voice.

or abandoned

“phew… … Anyway, it looks like it ended well.”

“Libby?”

“-I do not know either. Why did you bring him, and what are you going to do?”

“Are you going to throw it away?”

It was an eerie word.

Being trapped inside the tower meant that you could actually lose your life.

It was like committing murder indirectly.

To be honest, I never imagined anything like that.

Anais and Cale were silent for a while.

Libby is right to have sinned.

But is it right for us to decide the weight of the sin at will?

The worry only deepened.

#2

The four of them walked without speaking.

In particular, Melanie had a bloody face, as if she were the timid child.

Before leaving, Manus explained everything to Melanie.

＜That child was on a forbidden drug. It was eroded and brought here.＞

＜If you hadn’t been chosen, you would have lived a life forgotten in everyone’s memory.＞

I almost died.

The feeling of fear and despair is indescribable.

Then, Manus added a word.

＜You can just leave it alone. Then that child will be lost here forever.＞

＜If I die in this tower… … No one but us will remember her.＞

ziggurat.

The god of death built a huge tomb here.

The humans who became victims of the tower are not remembered by anyone.

It’s just a corpse that can’t be recognized, and it’s just lying around somewhere.

true death.

Except for those who are aware of the existence of the tower, it is a curse that will not be talked about by anyone.

Where else can something so terrible happen?

So I seriously thought about it.

-Isn’t it a friend who will block your path?

-You have to cut the buds from now on.

– If you’re like me, you’ve already abandoned it!

Also, the spirits were quite extreme.

In my heart, I wanted to do that.

Would it be okay if I said it was a reward given to myself who was about to die?

‘still.’

it’s killing people

If it had been easy at a young age, half the people in this world would have flown away.

Melanie looked at the spirits.

‘It’s okay to help, but I’ll make the decision. got it?’

– Hee hee!

-No problem!

-We are your alter ego. So do whatever is convenient for you.

Melanie nodded.

I saw two students in the distance.

Anais and Cale.

It was the appearance of the first year aces.

As soon as the two found the party, they shook hands.

Now, quite a bit, I learned how to move calmly inside the tower.

“great job! Seniors suffered too.”

“Melanie. I’m glad you’re safe.”

Cale took care of Melanie first.

It was a heroic move.

In this way, I increase my friends, and eventually I become one of the strongest in the world.

‘It’s not a club, it’s almost become an armed group.’

Melanie was welcomed by Cale and looked around.

To be able to smile so brightly in such a hopeless space.

With friends like these, I thought I would be able to continue my enjoyable academy life.

Thanks to that, the roaring hatred also faded.

Okay, let’s go down and think.

I remembered what my father had said.

＜When your head is full of one thought, never follow it.＞

＜With time, your head will naturally calm down. Then think again. ＞

That was good advice.

I suddenly realized why the Harry family was one of the best merchant families.

Melanie let out a bad idea with a deep sigh.

“thank you. for saving me.”

“Because we are friends.”

“-huh. Because we are friends.”

Looking at the scene in a typical game, Manus smiled lightly.

I got goosebumps even when I saw it on the monitor, but when I saw it from the side, I just laughed bitterly.

[Interference confirmed.]

[The required time for the skill you are currently learning is reduced by 30 days.]

‘As expected, this kind of interference is helpful.’

When you solve the case of important characters, the reward returns like this.

So, in the end, all you have to do is actively intervene and learn as many skills as possible.

Now that everyone is gathered, all that remains is to descend.

“There is no time. Get down quickly.”

“-yes.”

The disposition of Libby has been postponed a little longer.

Everyone was against killing her.

If it had been Manus’s personal affair, he would have killed him mercilessly.

Even if it’s a bit frustrating and stupid, I decided to respect their opinions.

-He is the watcher.

Because I wasn’t forced.

#3

Somehow, the party who arrived at the lobby let out a sigh.

Only 10 minutes left.

If I hadn’t found the portal leading to the first floor in the middle, I would have probably had to skip class tomorrow as well.

“Whoa-! just finished Melanie! Did you fight really well?”

“Thank you.”

“I came back timidly. so cute! It’s a different charm from Cale.”

Anais hugged Melanie tightly.

Melanie, as if embarrassed, only blushed quietly.

Libby was still staring blankly at everything, as if she had lost her soul.

“Now decide. What do you want Lauer Libby to do?”

“… … I don’t know yet.”

“Killing is also a way.”

“No, I hate that. but… … I think you deserve to be punished. So, I have something in mind.”

Melanie came up with a method.

Perhaps, it could be a punishment more disgraceful than death.

Some say it is also a tool of punishment given to humans by the devil.

-contract.

A contract that can never be refused, risking your soul.

Melanie hadn’t forgiven Libby.

I just acted like a merchant.

“I can’t pay my debts when I die.”

“-Good idea.”

It was a very satisfying move.

Libby simply accepted the judgment with a face covered with despair.

For some, it was a light prank, but for others, the moment they reached a turning point in their lives ended.

The group left the tower safely.

We will continue our exploration when Alano arrives.

Manus will also continue to grow stronger.

‘Melanie. Came in sooner than expected. This must also be my influence.’

The story speeded up little by little, and the growth of the characters subtly sped up.

The speed of climbing to the top will also increase little by little.

It was only natural for events to occur and for various events to occur in succession.

The contrast should be stronger.

Soon the enemy will come from outside as well.

Because the enemy of the academy wasn’t just the tower.

“I think I can sleep really well today.”

“me too-. Because someone made a big fuss about it.”

“… … I’m sorry, because of me-“

Melanie suddenly answered Anais’ words.

ugh?

The red-haired girl waved her hand.

“no! not you! There he is.”

“… … .”

The night went deep.

The three of them went to the dormitory, chatting with each other.

Manus found a shimmering shadow and looked at it.

Realizing that someone was watching this place, I stared at it.

The shimmering quickly disappeared.

Manus turned his head.

The people walking in front of me seemed to feel nothing, and they were moving their steps calmly.

‘-At least Pearson is the only detection type.’

Only Pearson turned his head once and looked around.

However, as if he hadn’t found it until the very end, he seemed to intervene in the conversation again.

How far should I go to interfere with her?

The power you still have is too weak to sprout in advance.

one answer.

In order to become stronger quickly, you must interfere with the character through various routes.

‘If that’s what draws the villain to our side… … ?’

Manus’ thoughts were organized step by step.

veronica.

Few people know his identity.

She also doesn’t reveal her identity until the end.

There are many narratives for Veronica herself to appear as a villain.

pain in the heart.

An irresistible fate.

The worst situation ever.

‘If we solve that, we might be able to absorb a huge amount of power towards us.’

The problem was that the problem to be solved was too large.

but-.

“Solution often starts with small words.”

Manus muttered to himself so that no one could hear.

The party returned safely, and the morning dawned again.

Melanie said this in front of the professor who looked at her anxiously.

“I was in the club room all night and fell asleep and caught a cold… … I went to the dormitory during the day and slept.”

“… … okay. Is your body okay?”

The professor looked at her suspiciously, but worried about her.

Anyone could see that this was an absurd excuse.

But things worked out, and Melanie didn’t blame anyone either.

This was the unspoken rule of Mythos Academy.

Teachers do not intervene in the personal affairs of students.

Unless it was to select a direct disciple, deep involvement was prohibited.

“Yes, I am completely healed now. I will listen to the class diligently.”

“good night. Borrow the notes you wrote yesterday from your friends. If you feel unwell, go to the infirmary.”

“thank you. professor.”

Melanie acted as if nothing had happened.

There were still people who cursed at her behind her back, and there were also people who ignored her, saying that she was from a merchant family.

However, Melanie herself has changed.

“What did you say, now-?”

A person who does not forgive injustice against himself with a bloody smile.

As long as she decided not to hide her inner feelings, Melanie was no longer a timid child.

“You are doing well.”

Manus, who was watching from afar, smiled slightly.

The faster the character changes, the closer the world peace will be.

And, there was someone else watching over Manus.

“… … I will have to tell the chairman.”

The pink hair looked at Manus.

What was the tyrant thinking?

And, what the hell happened yesterday?

From her point of view, there were too many questions.

[Interference has begun.]

Around that time, Manus was looking at a message.

Will someone else’s fate be twisted?

Finding that out, too, would be his responsibility.
