The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 85 – Compassion Can’t Prevent Judgment

#One

“Manus student.”

“yes.”

“The chairman called. Shall we go together?”

Manus nodded.

I saw Lupera being dragged away.

Probably because of that.

I saw a person approaching Alano as well.

“Except for the first year, all student council presidents will participate. I will guide you first.”

Manus kindly followed him.

The hall was still noisy.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Juniors from the first year gathered around him.

Seeing the sparkling expression in the bright eyes made my heart feel warm.

They asked Manus and Alano.

“Are you busy right now?”

“You worked hard. senior.”

“See you in the club room. Everyone suffered.”

Those who quickly nodded at Manus’ words and retreated.

They, too, noticed that the atmosphere had taken an unusual turn.

Manus and his juniors exchanged greetings with their eyes.

I turned my head and started walking again.

Manus knew where he was headed.

A few lines of text came to mind.

＜Deep inside the academy. It was an academy that always considered cleanliness and modesty as virtues, but this place was different.＞

＜The damp smell stung his nostrils. It was a space that made people uncomfortable. It wasn’t bright fire that lit up the darkness, only a crudely burning torch.＞

＜Did you say that light and darkness coexist? This was the darkness of the academy.＞

“You can go in here.”

The academy building could only be used up to the 5th basement level.

However, to build a building this tall, a deeper underground was essential.

It is said that the influence of wind and miscellaneous things can be solved under the name of ‘magic’, but the practicality of the underground space cannot be ignored.

From the 6th basement floor of the academy building to the 10th basement floor, it was a space that definitely existed.

It’s just a space that ordinary students don’t know about.

Manus also knew this space.

“Here… … what?”

“The Darkest Side of the Academy.”

aka gutter.

It was a place to come if you commit a crime or act against the academy, and it was also a hidden dungeon.

Well, it’s still just a distant story.

The smell of oil, the smell of something rotten, the smell of filth… … .

Everything sharpened Manus’ nerves.

Would a nobleman, especially a son of a duke, come and see such a filthy place?

It was the same for Alano, and she did not hide her displeasure.

“To think there was a place like this, as expected, this place is very suspicious.”

“I agree.”

“What happens is… … .”

“There’s only one person who should be worried about that.”

They came only as witnesses.

There was only one person to suffer here.

Lupera felt despair.

I realized how stupid I had been and how ignorant I was.

Mythos Academy was not a place where he could move just as he thought.

There were monsters everywhere, and there were eyes even where they couldn’t be seen.

The rope Professor Mia held out was rotten and damaged, and it was also a bottomless rope.

why didn’t i know that

why-.

“What’s wrong with me, I was just taken to a strange place! Why doesn’t anyone believe me!”

“… … .”

“Please, please listen to me! please! I’m just a victim! Mia, that professor made everything!”

Many people were entering in front of my eyes, but no one opened their mouth.

The chairman quietly closed his eyes and waited for everyone to arrive.

Lupera cried and pleaded, but no one listened to the criminal.

I screamed until my throat was hoarse, but the answer was silence.

Eventually, he gave up on everything and hung up.

The door to the closed room opened without sound leaking out.

Lupera opened her eyes wide when she saw Manus among those entering.

‘Why is that guy-.’

However, he just crossed his arms without saying anything, and there was nothing that could be guessed by looking into his blue eyes.

What the hell is that guy thinking?

Maybe that guy…

“Im here. Chairman.”

“Everyone has arrived with only a minimum number of people left.”

Then all the professors arrived.

Abrelnia and an unknown male student also kept their seats.

What was scarier than that was the eyes of the professors.

What will they say when they look at themselves?

‘under-.’

I don’t know anymore

Life was meant to die anyway, so dying just like this… … Are you okay?

It’s unfair.

It was unfair.

I couldn’t understand why the main character of this tragedy had to be himself.

What did you do wrong-!

“Now that everyone is here, let’s begin. In today’s evaluation, these reagents came out. It is presumed to be an effect that amplifies the ferocity of the monster-”

“What happened today is because of this reagent.”

“It was this student who sprayed the reagent. Lupera.”

“hmm-.”

The professor’s expression darkened.

Loupera.

I was a student who had never heard of it.

In this evaluation, he left a rather impressive performance.

However, the professors who didn’t know much about him tilted their heads.

cognitive dissonance.

The disharmony that occurs when an unrescued and unchosen person comes out of the tower on their own.

“How was life at the academy? I don’t remember very well.”

“This is the 2nd grade Bamban. Anyway, the important thing is the questions from now on. Professor Trail.”

“yes.”

Professor Trail worked his magic.

Everyone here knew what it was.

Magic used to interrogate criminals or conduct fierce information warfare.

Originally, it was close to black magic, and it was taboo magic, but-.

Poison is sometimes used like medicine.

Mana seeped into Lupera’s head.

Even for a moment, resistance couldn’t stop Professor Trail’s magic, who had an overwhelming skill gap.

His eyes went blank.

Now, all that remains is to ask questions.

‘Is it magic that only tells the truth? There’s nothing better than that to interrogate.’

Manus looked at the back of the chairman’s head.

All questions are answered by him.

If he knew Lupera’s circumstances, he would choose his questions and words carefully.

The first question came up.

“Lupera. Did you solve this reagent?”

“-yes.”

“Who did you order from?”

“This is Professor Mia.”

The answer was clear.

A wave of emotion could be seen on the faces of the professors.

Betrayal of a colleague

Professor Mia was a close friend of all snakes, deer, and eagles.

“Do you know why you did this?”

“-To bring down the nobility.”

“… … .”

The words that came out of Lupera’s mouth weighed on the betrayal.

The professors’ eyes widened.

In this world, nobility was not simply those who had power.

Those with special abilities and special bloodlines.

Those who honed their own abilities and developed them to the point of forming a family.

They talked about those who made a family through painstaking efforts.

Ignoring the nobility was ignoring history itself and ignoring their time.

“Where is Professor Mia now?”

“-I do not know.”

“Have you been asked to do other things?”

“Being strong in the gap… … . Wow-!”

Dark blood poured from Lupera’s mouth.

One of the professors hurriedly performed a recovery spell.

Lupera’s complexion, which had been turning white, turned red.

The chairman felt sorry for him.

Fortunately, the professors didn’t seem to notice.

Manus and Alano were also taken aback by the risky remark.

The chairman let out a small sigh and continued with the next question.

“Are you the only victim?”

“-yes.”

Right after that, the chairman asked more questions.

What did you do after cooperating with her, did you have any thoughts of joining the plan yourself, etc.

Lupera wanted to become a villain herself, even though she clearly had the opportunity to choose.

The decision was quick.

It was a story of sympathy, but that faint feeling does not cover the crime.

he could choose

It was solely his responsibility to fall into the wrong path at the crossroads of choice.

“What are you going to do?”

“Expulsion and expulsion. And Professor Mia will be searched and shot.”

The heads of the professors moved up and down.

Nobles and commoners alike all expressed the same opinion.

She had thoughts that were dangerous enough to threaten the peace.

If one day Professor Mia gains strength and reappears after gaining strength-.

The world will be thrown into chaos, big or small.

Because it was such a dangerous idea.

“You must not tell anyone what happened here. Especially the student council presidents.”

“-All right.”

“Then, please break up. Have you guys follow me.”

The professors left the room one by one.

Everyone leaves, and only Alano, Manus, and the chairman and the distraught Lupera remain in the secret room.

Chairman Nix did not hide his complex feelings, and Alano also stood blankly because the culprit was someone completely unexpected.

“- Since when did you know? That Professor Mia is the culprit.”

“I’ve known since the day Lupera returned.”

“why-.”

I didn’t say something like ‘Yes, of course I know the original’.

Previously, when Lupera was messing around in the back alleys of the academy, he got caught.

“She knew Lupera even though she was not chosen.”

“Right. Is there a reason you guessed alone?”

“I knew she couldn’t do anything on her own. If I could do something alone, I wouldn’t need a loupera.”

The chairman nodded.

That was right.

In fact, there was no direct harm caused by Professor Mia to the academy.

He would have done something a little longer, but since the numbers were wrong, he would have gone into hiding.

“Awesome. Was it the ability that forcibly awakened Lupera?”

“If what the chairman said is correct, the number of victims will continue to increase. If you know how to survive inside the tower, it would be impossible to catch it.”

“There is only one answer.”

The director’s eyes turned to Alano and Manus.

Only these young students could enter the cursed tower.

Wouldn’t we have no choice but to leave it to them this time?

I’m sorry for making you carry such a heavy burden, but I think you’ll get something just as much.

“I’ll make it as convenient as possible, so I’m asking you again.”

“-All right.”

The two men’s answers were resolute.

Seeing the two determined faces, the chairman sighed in relief.

At a time like this, I was resentful of not being able to do anything.

Trusting and entrusting with no ability.

It may be comfortable at times, but most of the time it was a frustrating experience.

#3

Club room after evaluation is over.

The freshmen were chatting with the two new seniors.

To be precise, Nia, who had been defeated by Manus, approached the first year students out of curiosity.

With golden, dragon eyes, she was a woman of mysterious charm.

The first grader, who felt curious, immediately burst into mouth, and Nia was quickly melting into the club.

Guillermo, on the other hand, just sat with his eyes closed and his arms crossed.

“Anyway, he’s not coming. Are you talking too long?”

“that… … May I ask what happened?”

“note… … . A child named Lupera had an accident, and he was punished. I’m the 3rd year student council president, so I’ve been there.”

“Come to think of it, the president will be elected soon in the first year. Are you all class A? Anybody interested?”

Everyone just looked at each other with round eyes.

Nia laughed out loud, probably because it was cute.

“hahahaha, it’s cute because it’s a freshman. these. There’s really nothing special about being the student president. just… … .”

rattle-.

Before she could finish her words, the door opened.

The air felt like it was sinking, and Manus and Alano appeared.

“I will explain this later.”

Nia backed away with a frown and a wink.

Manus opened his mouth as he saw the number of people in the club room increased significantly.

Now, it was time to go to the garbage incineration plant.
