The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 97 – The growth of those who are driven by themselves

#One

Manus, Anais, and Pearson sat down at a café on the premises.

I was going to go to the club room, but Pearson begged me to come to the cafe.

Cale will still be there, and if the three of them go in there, great things will happen.

Even if Pearson didn’t notice, it wasn’t that much of a wall window, and he succeeded in leading Manus to the cafe safely.

Manus suddenly became curious about the taste of coffee here.

How does it taste different from the Americano I used to eat on Earth?

“I’ll make an Americano.”

“yes. I will order and come. what would you like to drink?”

“… … I just water.”

“Ugh, do you like strawberries? I will buy it myself.”

Pearson disappeared empty-handed.

Anais glanced at Manus with a messed up look.

Seeing this, I suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Those indifferent eyes, sitting expressionless.

Even my father, who was strict and fiery, didn’t look like that.

The eyes that make you obedient when you look at it, that look like you’re going to be eaten.

“I heard you have something to say.”

“Yes, actually… … I had a little fight with Cale.”

“hmm.”

Manus nodded.

why did you fight

I thought he took care of me a lot, but I still haven’t overcome my inner weakness.

Or, is there another reason?

Come to think of it, it must have been the student council president election period.

It is a system in which a chapter for one school year is set, and that chapter continues for 4 years.

Once a year, at the end of the year, there is an opportunity to reclaim the student council president seat.

Players had a choice.

‘This was also a pretty fun event.’

It was a kind of contest in which various friends participated for various reasons.

Mythos Academy’s motto is competition.

So, the student president should also be the strongest, smartest, and good at commanding.

The benefits of being the president were also quite substantial.

The power to set up scholarships and student associations.

The authority to arrange various events, build various networks, and so on.

‘When I became the student council president, there were many events, and the funds were smoothly supplied. So, to make things easier, it’s better to be the student council president… … .’

“Is it because of the student council president?”

“that’s right. I am… … I said something harsh. about seniors… … Talk too.”

“It’s roughly what I expected.”

“sorry. I am… … .”

Manus waited patiently for her words.

As if she hadn’t found all her self-esteem yet, she let out a deep sigh.

Not befitting the name Flois, Manus pondered over what to do with this child.

No matter how versatile and incredibly talented Cale is, Anais and Alano are indispensable in the second half.

The dealing ability of the two was excellent enough that some used the main character as a buffer position.

That’s it, but as a person, it was hard to see Anais struggling like that.

‘Is it different from the old days… … .’

Back then, I didn’t have any interest in human relationships.

I was just in a hurry to live on my own, and there were only so many dirty people around me.

During their school days, their upbringing didn’t matter.

It’s just that it’s important to show hostility to yourself.

On the contrary, they respected and followed themselves with genuine feelings.

I don’t know what will happen in the future… … It’s just to care for them so that they don’t go down a bad path in the process of growing up.

It’s still hard because I’m not used to it, but it’s possible to listen to me and suggest a way.

“It’s okay to talk about me. If it came to the point of apologizing like this, it must not have been sincere.”

“sorry.”

“I am curious about mine. Why did you fight Cale?”

“Whoa-.”

She put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.

When Manus said he was fine, it felt like the guilt that had weighed down my heart had disappeared a little bit.

However, the guilt towards her friend who was still crushing her heart did not go away.

“I wanted to know the gap with Cale. The direction I’m going… … . I thought I would understand if I stuck with him.”

“Kale is nice.”

“Yes, so to bring out the truth… … . I know. That you’re a bad kid who takes advantage of your friends.”

“What did Cale say?”

If Cale was sincere, Anais would be hard to beat now.

Because she had a rare fraudulent skill called Cadenza.

Anais seemed to have anxiety and a complex about being ‘weak’.

It was to the point that he would throw himself out to protect Alano and the others.

The answer was simple.

All you have to do is forcefully inject strength into Anais.

Just like Alano did before.

“just… … He looked very angry. I’ve never seen him so angry.”

“If I told you my story, I would probably come seriously.”

“… … .”

She bowed her head.

Manus’ words pierced him like a dagger.

I have nothing to say.

Because I touched my friend’s yeokrin.

Even though I was prepared, it was hard to breathe when I brought up the story and committed something like this.

“Are you trying to prove it through Kayle? Not bad.”

“… … yes?”

Manus decided to take a positive look at Anais’ attitude.

If you criticize her here, you won’t be able to eat or die.

Traces of trouble all night were visible here and there.

A pale face with a pale face and blood loss.

The vitality disappeared, and the hair became scattered.

Her normally fair skin and the coat she wore without wrinkles were also a mess.

“Anyway, isn’t your answer mine? Seeing that he even apologized to me directly, that determination is worth recognizing.”

“ah… … .”

“Are you good at talking? Here, Americano.”

“Thank you.”

After slightly cooling the steaming steam with mana, Manus took a sip.

hmm-.

The taste is not much different from the Americano I drank every morning.

The sour taste was less, and the espresso itself seemed to be light.

When he ate a regular Americano (2 shots), his heart pounded and he couldn’t concentrate well.

So I always asked for a light order, and it tasted similar to him.

Were you considerate of me as a student?

“Hmm, is that why you came to me because you wanted to become stronger?”

“yes… … No worries, but please. I want to be strong. help… … I want to be.”

“I always say You are still of great help. But only if you are not satisfied with yourself.”

There is a way.

I was going to come and go to the tower alone for a while, but did it work out?

Is Alano tired after climbing several floors alone?

She dealt with one sentinel alone with Manus.

What about Anais?

How far can she endure and rise?

Desperation was visible in the red eyes.

If it were her now, she would be able to achieve remarkable growth.

Manus looked at Anais and asked.

“Are you desperate?”

“… … yes. very.”

“Apologizing to Cale is your ability. Maybe I will be hated by her for the rest of my life.”

“… … .”

Know.

However, for the inexperienced woman, this was the only thing that came to her mind.

I don’t know if I’m stupid, or if I’m still not wise.

I was anxious.

That you and your friends could go wrong forever.

Her eyes reddened and her nose twitched, but she decided to move on.

I’ll overcome my guilt and become stronger, and I’ll go back.

I will proudly apologize and restore the relationship.

To do that, you had to be strong.

“senior.”

“Is your mind up?”

“yes. I said something harsh… … Since I screamed out loud, I want to have the skills to match it.”

“What do you lack the most right now?”

Anais responded immediately.

“Magic… … And the lack of mana.”

“Then the answer has been decided.”

Manus looked at Pearson and Anais and said.

“The answer is always in the tower. The answer you are looking for is probably there.”

“… … all right.”

“Pearson, move as you do. Don’t talk about Anais.”

“yes. Just leave it to me.”

Pearson chuckled and bowed his head with a solemn expression.

Imitating the knights was quite ridiculous.

Anais stood up and bowed his head.

“thank you. Thank you for accepting my selfish greed.”

“I just need to know.”

Why is that bluntness approaching more warmly?

Anais felt like he wanted to get down on his knees and bow in gratitude.

If this was a club room, I would have done so without hesitation.

There is only one way to respond.

Keeping your own words and apologizing to your friends.

At least to stand up again as a wizard not ashamed of her.

There was also the option of going and apologizing now, but Anais did not choose.

‘Next time we climb the tower together, I’ll help.’

She strode towards the dormitory.

A message popped up in front of Manus without fail.

[Interference has begun.]

[This is a time when careful selection is required.]

“hmm-.”

A message forcing Manus to make a choice.

Perhaps, this is an important turning point.

Every time I saw a message like this, a feeling of pressure weighed on my mind.

There are a lot of things to be concerned about because there are a lot of things out of the way, but the storyline has already gone so far that it can’t even be compared to the original.

All he can do is make the best use of the knowledge in the original work to lead the children on the right path.

In addition, the power to strongly control variables.

Fostering the power to prevent unfortunate things and overcome unexpected disasters.

‘It’s complicated.’

“Senior, then I will wake up too.”

Manus nodded without speaking.

At the spot where everyone had disappeared, Manus pondered for a moment.

Are the 2nd and 3rd graders aware of this situation?

If you know, what should I do?

His right to speak is at a considerable level, so if he speaks, he will probably listen.

Manus pondered Anais’ situation for a moment.

If it were her, she would want to quietly grow her strength.

‘It may be a decision on its own, but… … .’

Calming Cale and cheering Anais.

So when we face each other again, we don’t have feelings for each other.

That would be all Manus can do for you.

“It’s about time to suffer defeat.”

Isn’t a main character without trials boring?

Manus got up from his seat and moved on.

The destination is the club room.

For the dramatic duel between the two, Manus intended to direct.

In order to do that, I need to motivate not only Anais but also Cale.

Manus intended to push Anais until he emitted a bright and warm light like the sun.

‘What kind of light will you shine in the meantime?’

Kale.

Will you see the match in a brighter light?

Or, will it become a shadow for a very short time?

Manus was curious.

What is her default personality like?

To confirm that, he moved to the place where the conflict started.
