The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 35 – The Lone Assassin

#One

Lying on a comfortable bed, Manus reflected on the achievements of the day.

[Wizard’s Attitude]

A skill that adds additional attack power when using stacked magic.

In addition, [Attack Skills].

All ATK +30%, a very simple and fraudulent skill.

I thought it would take quite a while, but the opportunity came faster than expected.

The skill will be completed by this time tomorrow, so I took a leisurely look at the next skill.

‘Today’s battle, mana was quite lacking. The durability of the barrier was also less than expected.’

The experience of shortness of breath and pounding head was not a very pleasant feeling.

stamina, and endurance.

It came to the conclusion that it was quite difficult to fight only by believing in High Restio.

must be a scammer

To survive as Caesar.

Until I was able to defeat the name by myself, I wanted to strengthen myself.

‘It’s passive if you’re serious.’

It is a common magic learned up to the 5th class magic.

If you go up after that, unique magic will appear, and only then you can learn active skills.

Now was the time to think of something more comfortable and more powerful.

‘Let’s decide with this.’

After choosing two skills, Manus slowly fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to anyone, he was becoming more of a monster.

dark secret room.

The maid’s duties did not end until late at night.

Check the dormitory, make sure that the laundry is well done, and that the laundry is not mixed.

I had to check whether the ingredients for the next morning were well prepared, if there were no empty rooms, and if there were no sick people.

The guards who took turns keeping watch nodded.

Veronica accepted their greeting with a smile.

Without making a sound of footsteps, she checked each guard’s face.

There should be no variables.

This is where the children of noble families from all over the continent stay.

If something happens, you will have to take full responsibility for it.

‘It’s all right today too.’

The light footsteps fell pleasantly.

sniff-.

On my way back to my room, I smelled a familiar yet disgusting scent.

Her steps stopped.

‘Already that day… … .’

It was a scent that suddenly made me realize who I was when I was spending time frantically.

It was also a reality that came at a certain time, as if brainwashing that blissful days were an illusion.

The steps that were supposed to go to the original room were wrong.

The place she was heading to was extremely rare even within the academy.

If the scale is huge, there will be a dark place.

It was a place where steps naturally slowed down.

“This is an edict from the imperial palace.”

“received. Go.”

I only received a small piece of paper, but is it an illusion that my hand has become very heavy?

Standing at a distance, I checked the paper.

It was a note with the imperial seal stamped on it, with only fragmentary orders written on it.

“Festival night.

subject to removal.

… … .

… … .

Caesar Manus.

… … .』

Her expression hardened.

Is the imperial family hoping for a war right now?

Or, did the Duke of Laves commit a great disrespect to the Emperor?

I didn’t understand.

why-?

‘I’d like to ask why.’

Passeuk-.

After entering the information in my head, I crumbled the paper.

It was complicated.

Everything.

I would rather choose a life of caring for students.

Even if he lost both his memory and skills, that was good.

That was also the reason why she wore a maid outfit that didn’t suit her.

‘ah-. It’s hard to make a living.’

She moved lightly.

I have to think about it.

How to get rid of it in an unobtrusive and certain way.

＜Who would treat the head maid carelessly?＞

His last words echoed.

He was already a defective product.

Having been raised as an assassin, he was swayed by personal affections.

However, the reason she was able to be Veronica was also because of these feelings.

“What should I do-.”

I wanted to grab someone and ask.

how to deal with this situation

How can it be done without anyone getting hurt?

However, no one was there by her side.

It was always a place to face all the students with a bright face, but-.

There was no one who gave her strength.

No one noticed Veronica until she entered the room.

Until the mad night, now it’s only a week left.

#3

After finishing his third year class, Manus was on his way to take his major class.

Exploration resumes today.

Cale, Anais, Pearson, and Melanie.

A party of 4 in the beginning should run pretty stable.

I told Alano.

Follow them and teach her what she has learned.

‘I’ll do well.’

one week from today.

There were a lot of things to prepare.

And one more thing.

‘I guess he’s still interfering.’

Usually, when the interference with a certain person is over, a certain amount of compensation comes in.

It was a really game-like system.

A few days ago, such a message popped up.

interference has begun.

I didn’t know who was interfering, or what kind of interference.

It must be a person with a face-to-face, or one of the characters that appeared in the game.

– Not good.

“senior! hello!”

“I’m going to have a mock match with the deer class after school today, can you watch it?”

This is an event that should happen to the main character.

Anais said to herself with bright eyes.

There were always companions by her side.

A mock sparring with the Guardians.

I hadn’t given it much importance.

It didn’t seem too bad to figure out their skills now.

Manus nodded lightly.

“-I will.”

“Wow! Really? Can I spread rumors about this?!”

“Don’t be rash.”

Manus said so and passed them.

half deer.

An interlude event that begins with a guardian’s proposal to protect someone.

Depending on which option you choose here, the companions you recruit later will be determined.

Guardians were not tankers who borrowed the power of spirits like Melanie, but were trained purely for defense.

Those who train to protect and receive lessons to protect.

In modern terms, it was a bodyguard.

‘Suddenly it’s time for him to appear.’

Among the guardians, there are those who will enter the tower.

Because Mythos Academy wasn’t a mage training academy.

Among them, quite useful ones will appear through this event.

It didn’t seem too bad to take a picture and observe.

A few words of advice would be fine, even for the sake of the future.

There was still time for class to end.

‘I guess I’ll have to raise guys for sub-quests.’

Those who are not members of the tower raiding team, but those who deal with what happens outside.

They were also essential to the attack.

Having a lot of people to interfere means that you are becoming stronger.

Group 2 is also necessary.

They were the ones who made the first team stand out in the game, but what about in real life?

They too have feelings, so they will feel a lot.

‘It’s complicated-.’

You can think about that later.

For now, I wanted to indulge in knowledge.

In addition, you should start training your physical strength gradually.

Although he is a wizard, the demons and villains he will fight in the future will persistently dig into his weakness.

And there are people you can only meet at the gym.

As I was walking, sorting out things to think about, I came across a familiar figure.

Pink hair with a resolution completely different from Melanie’s.

– It was Veronica.

‘It’s a bit strange.’

This is Veronica, who should come from far away with a smile.

Because she is a character set up like that.

However, she was staring blankly into space, as if she had lost her emotions.

Now was the time for colorful flowers to bloom.

An enchanted tree that blooms a variety of flowers every month.

She was quietly looking down at the huge tree.

“veronica.”

“-Ah, Prince Manus. hello.”

It was a little awkward to see him slightly surprised and smiling lightly.

It’s like-.

“Looks like you’re not feeling well. There seems to be something troubling-“

“no. Because it’s personal. How can I reveal my personal feelings to Confucius?”

It was a pretty intense reaction for a brief stab.

I lowered my head and took a step, and the step became lighter.

Manus remembered the contents of the game.

＜Veronica is far away, so she often looks at the big tree.＞

＜When you have to kill someone, that’s what you do.＞

＜That tree is said to eat the souls of the dead in the academy.＞

＜When she kills people in the academy, flowers that are particularly splendid and pretty bloom that month.＞

someone’s orders.

A mysterious accident happening within the academy.

those who condone it.

Villains, those who died every time a monster entered.

In all of that, Veronica was involved.

Users learned there that the imperial palace did not view Mythos Academy as simply a place of education.

It was a truly brutal story.

‘I have to bump into her this time anyway.’

So, there were many things to prepare.

He couldn’t beat Veronica with pure skill.

Because behind that soft smile and meek face, she was a woman with the title of Master.

So, you must hunt.

It’s not a fight, it’s a hunt.

It was right not to say too much in order to subdue her and meddle with fate.

“I look forward to the night.”

“-yes?”

“It is nothing.”

Manus moved on.

Then, suddenly, he turned around and spoke to Veronica.

Her gaze turned back to the tree before she knew it.

“veronica.”

“-Yes, Gongja.”

“I’m sorry for so long. If you have any difficulties, tell me anytime.”

“-no.”

Her eyes shook slightly.

Soon after, Veronica bowed her head in the utmost respect.

Seeing that sad appearance, Manus opened his mouth again.

“No matter what, I will do my best to help.”

“… … .”

She said nothing.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just keep your head down and close your eyes.

Manus took another step.

At the sound of the distance, Veronica let out a small trembling breath.

– How could you not want to be me?

Being an assassin with emotions is harder than you think.

Don’t do that.

You must not be kind to me.

Kwok-.

Power went into the hand that held the skirt.

‘I must kill you. Confucius.’

So, please remain a tyrant.

As you did for me, you must continue to tyrannize and persecute me.

That way, I’ll be able to fulfill my duty as an assassin.

– Killing without hesitation was harder than I thought.

Moreover, it is even more so if you are the one who secretly reaches out to yourself when no one is there.

Her gaze followed the disappearing back of Manus.

The image of him that I hated so much is now beginning to be stepped on in my eyes little by little.

– It was the worst feeling.
