The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Chapter 99

Episode 99 – Challenge the peak

#One

Cale held up the parchment and read the written words step by step.

Election of student body president.

Excluding the midterm exams, it is said to be the biggest event of the first half of the year, but honestly, it didn’t touch me.

Contrary to the general evaluation, the student council president is a contest that only those who are carefully selected can participate.

It had to be qualitatively different.

Cale continued to keep an eye on the rules.

1. Candidates for student president must obtain the signatures of 10 recommenders. Class and grade don’t matter.

2. Student president candidates are selected through in-depth interviews with professors.

3. Candidates for student president must prove their strength through sparring with assistants.

4. The student president candidate must prove that he is suitable for the student president position through competition with the candidate.

5. The student president is obliged to keep his seat through self-defense once a year.

‘difficult.’

It was a challenge from the first problem.

Nia, who was from the Abrel family, received a recommendation through personal connections.

Same with Alano.

The 4th grade student council president was the king who took control of the entire grade in one month in the first place.

But what about himself?

Is it a noble family?

no.

Do you have various connections?

no.

Can you dominate the entire school year with your outstanding charisma?

Not even that.

‘… … Did I just say I was leaving?’

A little bit, a little bit of regret came over me.

Come to think of it, I don’t even have ten friends.

To me, those who climb the tower together are all.

Cale let out a small sigh at the sudden feeling of embarrassment.

I never thought I’d get caught in a place like this.

To her, networking was such a fleeting word.

Because it always ends badly.

however… … .

“Should I build it again from scratch… … .”

commons.

and nobility.

People say that there is no distinction here at the academy, but there were things I saw and heard during my one month stay.

Cale himself was an unusual case, but it was normal for nobles to hang out with nobles and commoners with commoners.

Now, let’s think about common sense.

What would other people think of herself hanging out with aristocrats even though she was a commoner?

Nobles will think that people who don’t fit in will fit with aristocrats.

Conversely, commoners will think that they are playing with the nobles, not themselves.

‘What should I do-.’

Cale slowly rose from his seat and headed towards Melanie.

Melanie had folded the parchment and put it in a corner of her bag, as if she had no interest in being the student council president in the first place.

Sensing Cale’s presence, she turned her head.

Melanie had heard of it too.

Cale and Anais.

They seemed quite, no, very friendly… … .

You don’t know what a human thing is.

＜Yesterday’s comrades may become today’s enemies. This isn’t just a merchant’s job, it’s a fact that goes everywhere. So-.＞

It reminded me of how much my father had tried to pass on to me.

Oh no, that’s not what’s important now.

Melanie grabbed hold of her consciousness and opened her mouth to Cale.

“Is Cale going to participate?”

“Yes. Because I can’t leave Anais alone.”

“-Kale is really nice. Maybe if it were my personality… … I think I must have made a decision on the spot.”

“Anais would do that because he was cornered. I’ve only seen her for about a month, but I can tell.”

Melanie smiled and nodded.

As expected, Cale’s heart was kind.

Could it be that Anais also took advantage of Cale’s personality?

If you are… … .

‘What am I thinking?’

Melanie shook her head slightly and reached out to grab the parchment held by Cale.

“Give me this. I will sign it.”

“thank you. For cheering me on.”

Melanie laughed.

Cale may not know it, but Melanie intended to stay in the middle.

Because, she thinks, both of them were a little bit wrong.

It wasn’t about the seriousness of the mistake, it was just the facts.

Therefore, I was willing to sign it even if Anais came.

Some would think that she was unilaterally lashing out at Cale, but it was Cale who touched the part Anais had been holding back.

“To work hard. With Cale’s skills, you’ll be able to advance to the finals of the contest.”

“huh. I’ll do my best.”

Cale looked around.

Most of the students in Class A sat down and reviewed, or practiced magic.

Or staring at the application form for the student council president.

One even went around to get signatures.

It’s as if the competition has already begun.

Cale let out a small sigh.

First of all, let’s take it to everyone who can receive it.

‘Emerson, Pearson, and… … .’

Anais.

Today, her vacancy felt particularly large.

Would it be unreasonable to go back to the old days?

With weak steps, Cale headed for Class B, where Emerson was.

“senior! senior!”

“… … .”

Manus, who took class with Nia, looked at Punsu, who was running in a hurry.

I wish it didn’t attract attention like that, but isn’t it always a state of being sensitive because even just standing there draws attention to it?

1 Grade.

Namjeongne, who went straight without looking around, stood in front of Manus.

“Stop, senior. Heo, ji, question, heo, uh-!”

“Follow me.”

I thought I wanted to squeeze one in, but I just let it go.

It wasn’t that I didn’t know how Pearson was feeling right now.

In the original story, Anais and Pearson… … .

Manus smiled as he looked at Pearson, who was slowly following him.

Although he was far from macho, he was also a reliable character.

Wouldn’t the ability to protect someone be the best?

“Oh, can I get out of here?”

“Seniors are coming too. Is this something that needs to be addressed?”

“… … Is that so?”

Nia was momentarily overwhelmed by Manus’ momentum, and took a step back.

That beautiful expressionless expression somehow had the power to immobilize people.

She is also taking a step in this case.

She couldn’t help but nod because there was something stabbed.

Does Manus know that too?

Hey, there’s no way Anais would say that, right?

Nia smiled awkwardly and followed Manus.

“… … I come here often.”

“It’s a nice place.”

Terrace where the cool breeze still blows.

It was close to the classroom, so it was a great place to get some fresh air.

Nia said “Wow” and walked, holding on to the railing of the terrace and looking down.

Pearson looked at Manus and asked cautiously.

He was most curious about Anais’ whereabouts.

“Where is Anais? You’re not imprisoned in the tower, are you? Or is it wrong, or what happened?”

“do not worry. They are in the tower without any problems.”

“Ta, you’re in the tower?!”

“okay.”

Pearson recalled the memory of fighting against Manus for the first time in the tower.

Those horrifying memories are still lingering in my mind.

Maybe that’s why, I managed to suppress my heart to cry.

Manus at that time and Manus now were so far-fetched that it would be rude to compare them.

He became stronger, but he felt it even more desperately.

Pearson asked cautiously, holding back the worries and burdens running rampant inside him.

“It’s really, really good, right?”

“It’s okay to be with my familiar.”

“If you are a servant… … Are you Albion? That wad of cotton?”

Manus nodded.

From Pearson’s point of view, it was a dream come true.

Is it safe to be with a familiar that hasn’t played well before?

Unlike Manus, who told him to be relieved, Pearson was overcome with greater anxiety.

It wasn’t Manus who wouldn’t notice.

Nervous and anxious, he held Pearson’s head firmly in his hand, like a lost puppy.

“To think that the friend you should trust the most is showing such a pathetic appearance. I still can’t take back the evaluation of him as an idiot.”

“… … However, the tower is a dangerous place. What if I meet a watchman!”

“I wonder if I left it without such an arrangement.”

“… … .”

Pearson kept his mouth shut.

Manus tightened the hand holding Pearson.

It was Manus who had the body of a warrior candidate with various effects.

It was only natural for Pearson to react violently to the agony experienced for the first time as a wizard.

aaa-!

A strange sound rang out!

“Ouch! senior! My brain isn’t that hard! No, it doesn’t contain much knowledge! Help me! aaagh-!”

“If you know, shut your mouth and wait. Because that’s the best cheer you can do.”

“… … yes.”

I’ll also clear up your doubts.

Manus was about to move on to the next lesson.

“Wait, that tower. What if I go in alone and don’t come out?”

“You get stuck in the cracks. You jump from day to day.”

“then… … Wouldn’t it be a waste of time if I stayed there?”

“Instead, we can extract and eat as many magic stones as possible.”

“aha… … .”

Nia’s expression changed strangely.

The expression of a cat lifting its front paw after discovering an interesting toy.

The vertically slit pupils dilated slightly.

Manus looked at it and said firmly.

“Don’t even think about going into the tower alone without ‘sufficient preparation’. It is a more dangerous place than you think.”

“Oh, that’s funny. Where was the person who just said not to worry?”

“It must have been possible because there was sufficient preparation.”

Manus left those words and left the terrace.

Nia pursed her lips and grumbled.

“Sheesh, you talk like you know a lot.”

“Are you sure you know well?”

Unexpectedly, the words of support for Manus came from Pearson.

“… … Of course, you know better than me.”

“Finding the tower for the first time, going up and down as if going in and out of the house alone, knowing the watchman’s weakness, and… … Is Manus-senpai the one who teaches you your weaknesses?”

“… … That, is it?”

Nia suddenly thought of the previous climb.

Briefing that falls appropriately.

Exquisite magic that stabs the weak attribute.

A skill that can be captured without using high class magic.

Manus was missing nothing.

Thinking that far, she suddenly had a strange idea.

‘But how does he know all that?’

It’s like I’ve caught it countless times.

Isn’t it really award winning?

If you think about it with common sense, isn’t it really strange that they followed you without any doubt?

Nia thought, patting her lips with her fingers.
