The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 53 – Overcome in an instant

#One

28th floor of Ziggurat.

The four climbed the tower as usual.

Gathered mana crystals and artifacts to raise funds.

“Oh kale.”

“-huh?”

“Senior Alano said that the money from selling the artifact will arrive next week.”

said Melanie.

It was good news to hear.

There was also a limit to carrying out small requests.

Even if you came in with a full scholarship, people who belong to the original society need money even if they breathe.

Because both studying and experiencing required money.

Kwaaang-!

Now, the four of them, who are in perfect harmony with each other, climbed up to the 35th floor.

“Let’s wait here.”

“-huh.”

“This time, let’s not make mistakes and do well. If we get hit once, will we get hit twice? You say that I have prepared a very strong magic for this day!”

In front of the watchman’s place, there happened to be a resting place.

Today, fortunately, the infirmary.

They waited for Manus by soothing their tired bodies and absorbing magic stones.

Just as I was calmly preparing my battle, the door opened.

Has it been about 30 minutes since you came up here?

Manus, who climbed alone at a terrifying speed, stood proudly in front of the four.

“-You came so quickly?”

“Thanks to you, I have had fewer encounters with demons. let’s go.”

four people stand up

The memory of the past came up and tickled his chest, but the existence of Manus firmly blocked the fear.

[Law – 2]

[The Seat of Chaos]

A monster sitting in a chair.

It just sits there, but magic below class 2 doesn’t work, and it has no weaknesses.

In addition, using the exclusive skill [Cloud of Oblivion], it was a very notorious boss.

[Hmm-.]

Boss recognized.

As always, Pearson was all over the buff magic.

advanced magic.

Attack and defense increased, eyes improved.

An effect that increases reflexes and even increases evasion rate.

Battle preparations are over.

Manus took a step back.

“Do whatever you want.”

“-yes.”

I’ll have to watch it sometime.

It was my turn to check how much my juniors had grown and what they lacked.

Even now, interference is still being applied to someone.

After this battle, I thought it would be nice if some of the meddling ended.

‘Because I can get a reward when the interference is over.’

Predictably, the closer you are to an intervention that can change the character’s fundamentals, the greater the reward.

Expectations were high.

Whoop-!

The battle finally began.

“come-!”

The first attack is wide-area wind magic.

Melanie and Cale came along, and they offset it nicely.

Melanie with mint-colored hair enchanted by the wind spirit.

Kayle clashes with [Anima], a class 2 wind attribute magic.

Red flames followed.

Anais, who was casting safely, shows superior dealing ability.

[Ignara]

[Altus]

As long as it took a long time, powerful magic.

The scorching heat passed Manus’ face red.

Proof that Anais has not been neglecting his training.

[Hmm!]

A second pattern emerged.

The door opens, and a knight guarding the throne appears.

[Train: 8]

They were strong against physical attacks and weak against elemental magic.

“Melanie, stop it again!”

“Leave it to me.”

A different, different personality than usual, so full of confidence that you might think.

The mint-colored hair turned to blonde.

Kurreung-!

The ground around her shuddered with mana.

[Enchant: Gnome]

A spirit with a hard and strong personality wrapped around Melanie tightly.

Kwaaang-!

Huge spear and shield.

Demons resembling the fighting styles of old knights charged at Melanie.

A demon with a spear erected and covering himself with a shield aims for Melanie.

Even at a glance, it was a power that most wizards could not stand and would fall out.

How to respond, Manus still watched the battle with interest.

‘It’s much stronger than I expected.’

Specs that seem to be level 20 in the middle of the day.

The mana felt was sufficient, and the power of the skill was stronger than expected.

The crash was intense, but Melanie gritted her teeth and persevered.

“They gave me a lot of buffs!”

“-thank you!”

Melanie stood holding the tip of the spear with both hardened hands.

Vivid action that could not be seen in the game unfolded here.

Kwaaang-!

Cale used [Atablus] and burned the knights as they were.

Anais seems to have taken on the role of continuously attacking the main body of the boss.

It was an ideal position.

[Hmm-!]

The watchman was furious.

It is evidence that physical strength has dropped by more than a certain percentage.

How can you lose so much stamina in just this amount of time?

As expected, even without you, you were growing steadily.

I felt somewhat proud.

The enraged throne poured 2nd class magic while replacing the four attributes.

Cale and Melanie faithfully fulfilled their role as tanks and successfully passed this pattern.

“Whoa-. Still better than last time.”

“Let’s do our best, boys!”

now it comes

The eyes of the mask sitting on the throne shone.

He got up and stretched out his hand.

Mana was entangled here and there, and a cloudy cloud spewed out.

Rather than clouds, things closer to fog were spread all over.

Everyone froze with tension.

Perhaps it was because the nightmare of that time had resurrected, and even Cale, who was the main character and had all his stats, was stiff and unable to do anything.

“Calm down.”

“Ugh, uhhhhh-!”

Pearson’s eyes turned red.

Anais couldn’t feel any mana, and Cale’s eyes trembled.

It was so pitiful that I could feel the tears welling up.

“Melanie.”

“Yes, four!”

Melanie’s eyes were red, but they soon returned to normal.

It seems that the spirits intervened and helped right away.

Thanks to his fraudulent passive, [Caesar’s Mind], Manus survived mental attacks.

Although the tooltips were duplicated, it must be because the mindset skill is far superior.

Manus looked at the freshman juniors, who were somehow trying to suppress the emotions that were bothering them.

It wasn’t as serious as I thought.

Maybe it’s because I’ve experienced it once, and I seem to be in good control.

‘As expected, the reality is different.’

He should consider himself fortunate that he is not affected by such a skill.

In the game, a status abnormality that lasts for several turns.

Since the data was not made up of simple physical strength/mana, the struggle was desperate.

“It’s quite a pass.”

Manus smiled faintly as he looked at those who were trying to win at any cost.

Manus, who lightly avoided Pearson’s attack with red eyes, concocted a spell.

coo-!

In the meantime, the throne to attack.

“Don’t run amok.”

A bright magic circle was drawn on the right hand, and a blue magic circle was drawn on the other hand.

Kwajijik-!

Manus casually showed the 3rd class magic with double casting.

[Folgetra]

[Hmm-!]

The tower shone brightly, and the boss staggered for a moment while sobbing.

At the same time, the magic to free them from mental pain was completed.

[Plamma]

A bright light dispelled the fog.

The magic that the Dragon, who was the master of ancient magic, unfolded.

A magic that no one could stop unfolded.

“-uh?”

“Feel… … .”

After the bright light swept through, Cale, Anais, and Pearson slowly returned to their senses.

The moment I desperately endured was overshadowed, and my mind became clear.

Everyone looked at Manus.

He spoke in a tone as if he had picked up trash dumped on the side of the road.

“You just need to learn the magic to clear your mind. I’ll go back and let you know.”

“Bird, it’s not as big as I thought?!”

Pearson shouted in a trembling voice.

Yeah, it’s not as big as you think.

After overcoming it, it becomes nothing more than that.

Manus laughed.

“If you understand, deal with it quickly.”

“good-! Let’s show them!”

At Pearson’s cheery voice, everyone fired again.

Cale and Melanie showed fantastic teamwork and blocked all attacks.

Anais also threw out a passionate fire magic as if to vent her anger.

“Die!”

Anais’ 3rd class magic with all her strength exploded…

[Huhmm-!]

In the end, the boss was reduced to ashes in the fire of magic.

It was a fairly intense battle, and the content was also great.

Manus lightly clapped his hands to celebrate the victory.

The battle is over.

Everyone’s cheers filled the space.

Inside the cold, dark tower, life hovered.

【Battle End】

＜Knocked down the watchman.＞

＜The levels of Cale, Anais, Melanie, and Pearson have risen.＞

＜Kale : 25＞

＜Anais: 22＞

＜Melanie : 21＞

＜Pearson: 20＞

#2

After the battle with the sentinels.

Driven by this momentum, the party that climbed higher eventually came to a dead end.

Manus confirmed that the second area had not yet been opened.

“Looks like we’ve come this far.”

“I see.”

“The alternative tower is… … Who would have made it?”

Even Manus did not know the truth about the tower.

So I shook my head.

According to the game settings, it is said that Morse, the god of death, made it, but no one really knows.

It was also a homework that he had to find out.

It was time to go back.

In addition, now is the time to introduce black and white to Cale.

In order to grow into a full-fledged leader, you had to be able to perfectly fulfill your role.

“Kale.”

“yes?”

The two of them stared at Manus, floating on horse poop.

Cale’s talent is on a completely different level from that of normal characters.

Maybe even surpass Caesar.

So, Black and White will generously teach her magic.

Because they like talented people.

The magic stone crystal was readily handed over to Manus.

“Now you have to play this role.”

“I am… … You don’t know that magic.”

“I have someone to tell me.”

Cale’s eyes shone.

new magic.

new knowledge.

After climbing the tower, she began to crave power more and more.

She nodded vigorously.

They arrive in the lobby, and Pearson and Melanie go back to the dorms first.

Anais was watching his eyes, and Cale, who saw that, grabbed Manus’ sleeve.

“Hey, I guess Anais has something to say.”

“Tell me.”

“Uh- that’s-. that… … .”

Manus watched her silently and waited.

Anais stuttered, blushing.

I closed my eyes, trying to figure out what to say in my mind.

Manus quietly waited for her to calm down.

Anais took a deep breath and stared into those blue eyes.

“Senior, do you think of us as colleagues?”

“Of course. You are doing what I cannot.”

“Thumb, the thought that it’s useless is-.”

Manus closed his eyes and cut her off.

Have you ever been feeling insecure?

He looked at his hands.

I wondered if the warmth in these hands could melt her anxiety.

“do not worry.”

“… … .”

“You will stand next to me. Sooner or later.”

These are the children who will save the world.

You will have to become stronger, and you will have to overcome more obstacles.

There will be many times when emotions will be more intense than now.

Whenever that happens, you will need a solid mental support to stand on.

This was the conclusion of Manus, who looked into their inner thoughts through a game.

He held out a gentle, yet warm hand.

“Because I believe in you guys, I can move alone.”

“then-.”

“It will be even better. Do not doubt and go ahead.”

At Manus’ firm words, the uneasiness in Anais’ eyes faded.

she smiled brightly

[Check for interference.]

[Reward will be paid.]

At the same time, Manus was also able to smile.
