The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 87 – Between Villain and Hero

#One

tower.

The Manus party, which started from somewhere, immediately tried to communicate with Emerson.

As if beyond her detectable range, the communication orb was dead.

Nia looked around and asked Manus.

“I didn’t know that school would turn into a place like this. By the way, how many floors does this place have?”

“I do not know.”

“-The school is only on the 100th floor, is that the case here too?”

No, it can’t be.

Manus passed her words and spread mana.

The original story ended without even conquering the top of the tower.

In the end, it would be up to Manus to uncover the secret.

Manus performed [Dux] magic.

A white line guiding the way illuminated their path ahead.

A mysterious compass visible only to Manus.

“Let’s go.”

what does he want

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Joining Emerson?

Or Professor Mia’s lair?

If not that, a powerful artifact?

Anyway, the white guide will give you a direction to move forward.

His gait was unsteady.

“Do you know the way?”

“It can’t be.”

“But going just like this is-”

Nia asked worriedly, but soon closed her mouth.

He himself was no stranger to this, and they had been doing this for a month.

what are you doing

No matter who sees it, I am not in a position to give advice.

“sorry. I won’t say anything. let’s go.”

Manus smiled at the quiet Nia.

Certainly, among those who were not chosen in the original, there were too many talented ones.

I wish I could squeeze them all into the tower-.

Unlike Nia, who moved leisurely, Guillermo was wary of his surroundings.

If something pops up, I am prepared to deal with it at any time, and I move carefully step by step.

Because of that personality, lines often appeared in the game.

‘It’s a new feeling.’

I went alone most of the time, so it’s been a long time since I felt so crowded.

Now is the time to split the team into two.

Equipment farming, tower attack, and the remaining personnel should be turned outside.

As I was thinking about my future, I heard Guillermo’s voice.

“There is something ahead. Enemies?”

“I will. Everyone but us is the enemy here.”

“then-.”

clap-.

The sound of the boots of the guardian, whose armor was his school uniform, echoed.

The mask that followed.

A demon in the shape of a knight riding on a huge horse attacked.

‘It seems to have risen quite high.’

I remembered.

Organize information that comes to your mind naturally.

[Strength – 5]

[Headless Knight]

[Weakness attribute: Wind]

[Reflection of fire and ice magic]

[Level: 35~40]

A demon that appears on the 60th floor.

A demon holding a huge jousting spear and wearing armor.

It was also the time when medium-sized demons, excluding the watchmen, appeared for the first time.

Manus raised mana.

It seemed to have landed in the right place.

Rather than waiting for the second runner, it would be better to go up first and take care of the work.

By now, thinking of the smirk on my face at ‘it’, I thought that it would be better to go up quickly.

“Fire and freezing magic must not be used. It has excellent physical attacks and its weak point is the wind attribute, so you just need to give it time to cast.”

“- I will stop you.”

“I will help too.”

The students of Mythos Academy were not usually a place where they could enter based on their talent.

Their life has always been intense.

In particular, Nia, a 3rd year student, went through various experiences and was mentally hardened enough to fight.

Qurrr-!

The still air stirred and the wind blew.

The mana emitted by the 2nd and 3rd years went to the demons.

It was an overwhelming battle.

#2

“hello? Senior Manus! senior-!”

“Still not?”

“-huh. Maybe I should go up a little more.”

Cale’s party started on the floor where the watchman was killed by Melanie’s efforts.

I had already reached the 48th floor, but there was still no sign of communication being opened.

Emerson closed his eyes and activated his senses.

A presence that was barely at the end of her detection range.

Even that quickly faded away.

I opened my eyes and told my teammates who were waiting.

“Let’s go. It seems to be on top.”

“Ugh, the party with senior Manus went upstairs. Can we catch up with this?”

Pearson let out a sigh.

When I thought about going up, it was already dark in front of my eyes.

The original strategy was to join and go up together.

Will that be life if it goes according to plan?

Anyway, you won’t have to worry about getting lost.

Guided by Emerson, they climbed the tower avoiding battle as much as possible.

‘I wish there was magic that would tell me the way-.’

Suddenly, Pearson felt the need for a guide.

Manus’ words came to mind.

The words ‘Your talent is not in attack magic’.

If that’s true, wouldn’t I be able to create magic too?

‘I’ll have to try it when I get back.’

A voyage with only a destination and no precise direction is very long, tedious, and arduous.

I thought I needed magic to know the exact direction.

How should I implement it?

Pearson’s troubles deepened.

Empowered by Emerson’s performance, they covered the top at high speed.

There was no time.

only eight hours.

It was too short a time to drive someone to death.

#3

67th floor of the tower.

Manus stood in front of the grand gate, feeling a huge and ominous aura.

Right here.

Following the white line, I arrived at Professor Mia’s lab.

From the 67th floor to the 70th floor.

Professor Mia has to use all three floors.

The reason she was able to enter the tower was surprisingly simple.

Borrowing the power of a stranger, hiding in the tower.

“here-.”

“Are you going to wait for the juniors to come?”

Guillermo asked.

Manus was troubled.

What should I do?

According to the original story, the first graders should be active.

However, Manus’ intuition told him not to.

Professor Mia is a person who fools opponents with words and uses reagents to summon demons.

The more time passes, the stronger her power will become.

“Go in.”

“Can it be just us?”

“I do not know. but-.”

At least at this level, no villain could stop him.

Professor Mia had better get rid of it quickly.

Even for the mental health of children.

still 10 years old.

It would be better for children to take the safe route, even if they grow one step behind, than to listen to her vulgar words.

Manus thought so, and made a decision.

“-Now there will be no enemy that surpasses our strength.”

He spoke in a confident voice and opened the great door.

The door opened without a sound.

What was visible in front of it was a high ceiling that seemed to have pierced through the third floor and a spiral staircase extending in the center.

Above the balustrade, which was three stories high, stood the figure they were looking for.

Perhaps you knew in advance.

Because he is a person who loves this place very much.

“oh-. I never thought you would come this far.”

“professor. Was the real professor like that?”

“What do you mean?”

Nia took a step forward and asked.

The shocking words I heard from Lupera’s mouth.

I wanted to ask if that was true.

“You said you had to get rid of the nobles, did you really?”

“-okay.”

At the resolute words, the expressions of the two people except for Manus were distorted.

Dangerous mana slowly bloomed.

Either way, Mia: Annabelle twisted her lips up.

“They are pig-like nobles. Cancer masses of the continent who believe only in their own blood. Your father and mother, when you go up there, they all started the same way.”

“what-.”

“Aristocrats and commoners had the same starting point. But what about now? Don’t you get the name of a noble just because that dirty blood is flowing from generation to generation?”

Her words were poignant.

These were words that denied the ideology of the aristocracy, and could have a negative impact on those who had not yet properly formed their egos.

I don’t know what the nobles on the real Earth were like, but the nobles in this world had the power to protect the peace of the continent.

“I don’t know about people who meet their ancestors and live happily. how others are suffering. Have you ever been out on the street right now? huh?”

“-Just say you’re jealous if you’re envious.”

It was Manus who interrupted her.

A look like listening to a boring speech.

Blue eyes filled with mana were looking straight at Mia.

eyes like that.

Seeing that, Mia couldn’t hold back the anger that boiled over.

However, Manus’ words were not over yet.

“A worm that doesn’t even know why a noble is a noble talks about a noble.”

“shut up! What do you know about the suffering of the common people?”

“Why should I know? Whose reason is they able to stretch their legs out and sleep?”

A noble is a keeper.

Those who preserve the noble blood and defend the citizens, the land, and the continent.

The first names given by empires and kingdoms were those created to protect.

When war breaks out, commoners evacuate, but nobles go to the battlefield.

In this world without conscripts, all wars are carried out by those under the aristocracy.

Only those with honor and a sense of duty knock on the door of aristocratic families.

“Yes, if I talk about it to the proud nobles, they won’t know the pain of the common people. Could you please let me know then? Stop it with that proud blood.”

She refused to talk.

Originally, this conversation was what Cale, Anais, and everyone else should have heard.

The good-hearted children worried about trivial words, and created an opportunity to be shaken by Revelly-Malito.

But Manus is different.

He has lived understanding this world and knew exactly what direction he had to go.

Anabel’s words to him sounded like nothing more than the babbling of a demagogue with twisted convictions.

“Everyone, keep your senses straight, and you will have to endure from now on.”

“-Can you hold out?”

“We have to hold out until the children come.”

“Do you know when you’ll come?!”

I’ll be back soon.

Manus made a magic circle without much worry.

Shall we do some magic stone work at this point?

[greatness!]

[Big-!]

In the darkness, the figures of the masks were reflected one after another.

The demons she spent countless hours collecting.

Things stuck in the warehouse crawled out to destroy the enemy.

Mia was bewildered watching it from the railing.

If noble blood is so great, go out alive.

“If you want to keep it that way-! Struggling as hard as you can! Ahahahahaha-!”

At the sound of laughter that I didn’t want to hear, Guillermo said.

“Can’t we drop that first?”

“Nothing. Then you won’t get what you get.”

“-what?”

Manus gave a fishy smile.

There was something he hadn’t said, but the battle with Professor Mia was also a favorite go-round for players.

In the face of endless mobs, a newly acquired strong tank.

There is an all-powerful magician.

A situation where there is even a dealer who can sweep up at once.

It was a time of celebration.
