The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 5 – We are just uninvited guests

#One

Alano wandered through the maze.

The grotesque monster oppressed her every moment.

darkness.

The darkness she hated the most tightened on all sides.

Hard-.

3 classes.

Although it was an achievement that was by no means low compared to his age, his entire body froze.

Whoa-.

As expected, it’s hard to use magic under such pressure.

I desperately realized that practice and theory are completely different.

‘you can do it. I can do it.’

I hate fighting.

The Harrison family was such a place.

Dumb, docile, soft-.

However, because of that, I was able to become stronger.

Because those who were born with a weak mind hated being taken away more than dying.

The sense of loss when something was lost made the family even stronger.

＜You must keep it without stealing it. To do that, you must have power. The power to overcome everything is the power to protect what is ours.＞

If Caesar was a family of conquerors, Harrison was a family of patrons.

Alano also inherited the family blood.

A place that likes to be kind and considerate of others.

In order to protect them, they were a family that could become stronger than Caesar.

Of course, protecting her own life was also included.

everything comes from yourself

You have to know how to protect yourself first, so you can afford to protect others.

[hmm!]

“Where the alternative road is?”

[Glach]

The flowers she blossomed were full of thorns.

The beautiful but deadly flower pierced the devil’s heart mercilessly.

Hard-!

Daemon’s body froze and crumbled.

Alano held his breath and saved mana.

“What the hell is this place… … . To walk around a place like this alone—”

[hmm!]

A demon’s voice could be heard in the distance.

Are you coming this way?

Alano moved quickly and followed the path in front of him.

How does Manus feel when he is wandering alone in this dark maze?

Memories of her childhood bloomed faintly, making her heart feel urgent.

Caesar.

In a family of conquistadors, Manus was a very weak child.

It was pure and quiet.

Rather, he was a child whose last name was Harrison.

‘wait. a little bit.’

Harrison never cuts ties first.

Allano moved along the wall.

I found my childhood friend by freezing all the obstacles in my way.

[Kick-?]

How did you wander aimlessly like that?

A shivering chill rose up.

Alano looked back slowly and quietly.

An eerie sound rang out.

[Kick Kick Kick-!]

Nothing, but a sound was heard.

she could feel

Something huge is roaming around, patrolling this tower.

-Dangerous.

Alano instinctively quickened his pace.

How long have you been here?

What if something wandering inside the tower recognized itself?

What if, at the end of it, what you encounter is a villager who boasts overwhelming strength?

‘Dangerous.’

cooong-.

A sound was heard.

Cut-.

The sound of chains, as if to hang an intruder, made the whole body tremble.

can i run away

[Kick Kick-!]

The sound got louder.

The pressure of death tightens with every step you take.

‘… … no-‘

don’t die

to defend one’s own life.

The basic mindset that Harrison should have was demonstrated.

She unleashed her latent powers to ward off fear.

――――――――!!

Quaaa-.

The loud echo of mana drew the attention of the demons around.

But I couldn’t stop.

A greater danger than that was approaching every moment.

Alano ran away without looking back.

I felt it instinctively.

The moment you stop walking, you know that your life will end in this place where no one is there.

A brilliant mind judged the situation and paved the way for survival.

Since we came from where we came from, we have no choice but to move forward.

[Glacier Boost]

Raise mana and formulate a spell.

Her legs become ice flowers, and she moves forward.

Boost to Glacier.

Magic that wraps the user’s legs in ice and propels them forward.

A stale wind blew through, giving me a sense of speed.

The sound faded little by little.

However, as a counteraction, numerous daemons began to flock.

Alano gritted his teeth.

The swarming daemon reached out to grab the hem.

At the touch of it, his spine turned cold.

I couldn’t figure out what to do to shake them off.

But I won’t give up.

It was a specification to come to help and then fall apart without doing anything.

“-I can’t cause such a nuisance.”

she continued to run.

To become the winner of a game of tag that never ends.

#2

Manus fluttered his cloak and ran.

So I told you not to come.

‘The sound was quite low.’

It will be on the 1st or 2nd floor.

The first floor has an uncomplicated structure.

The scale of the maze was also small.

However, starting from the second floor, only the random elements are missing, and the system that penetrates the entire stage is applied in earnest.

Do you know the ghost from the old game, Bubble Bubble?

Do you know of a powerful boss that appears to prevent a submerged ride?

That also applies to this game.

A penalty for not moving quickly to the next stage.

A hidden boss that has no weakness and cannot be killed unless it is late in the game.

Alano must have been here for the first time, so he couldn’t find the stairs leading up.

‘Fortunately, the guy from the tutorial is slow and weak.’

Even so, the playable characters will never be able to catch him.

Since there is a guy like this, go through the maze quickly and go up- It’s just a message.

Up to the 5th floor, the hidden boss was programmed to move around only a certain section.

That means it’s easier to get rid of.

Caesar’s instincts began to awaken.

My senses widened, and my heart moved to win what I wanted.

Harrison Allano.

Are you going to be taken away by a god of death while you haven’t blossomed yet?

Alano is the one who proudly occupies Tier 1 among the main character’s fellow characters.

His unique tremendous attack power and debuffs made him the number one party member chosen by all users around the world.

The original hasn’t even started yet.

You can’t let the butterfly create the wind.

There should be no more cases where it becomes a typhoon and takes the lives of innocent people.

I went back the same way I came.

and-.

“Manus!”

“-Keep down.”

Alano, who was running like a skater.

Caesar’s attitude once again encouraged Manus.

What if it was a game?

[Igni]

Fire-!

Flames sprang from his outstretched hand.

1 class.

It’s the most basic magic, but Caesar’s 1st class is different.

The class is different.

[Ugh-!]

The demons that were chasing after them were engulfed in flames.

It was only these guys.

There were only a lot of numbers, but it wasn’t difficult to clear the road.

[Glach]

A spear made of ice pierced the denizens of darkness.

In an instant, a wide road appeared and I could see the dark interior of the tower.

“Run the other way.”

“to? Gwa, it’s okay- kyaaak!”

Manus roughly grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around.

and pat her on the back

“It disappears when you go to another floor.”

Manus gritted his teeth and ran.

A sense of alienation plagued him.

Weak body as opposed to tremendous passive.

In order to maintain the senior position, at least this gap must be eliminated.

I was breaking out in a cold sweat and tried to lose feeling in my legs, but I ran.

All roads are memorized.

Soon, demons who came to their senses started chasing the two.

The giggling sound has long since disappeared.

The guy has already left for another area.

“Hey, do you know the road?”

“of course.”

Manus answered briefly and followed the road without hesitation.

Turn the corner, go straight and -.

Like that, the two disappeared down the stairs leading to the previous floor.

It was like jumping into hell from a salary, but there are times when hell is better.

“Gee, you keep chasing me!?”

“Run to the lobby.”

It wasn’t too far from the first floor to the lobby.

The two narrowly disappeared down the stairs leading to the lobby.

The swarming demons stopped in front of the stairs.

The masked monster, who had been pursued so grotesquely, stood idly by as if he had lost his purpose in life.

[Ugh-.]

Are you saying it’s regrettable?

Or is it an expression of relief?

They quietly disappeared leaving behind a single voice.

In order to welcome uninvited guests who would come again, the residents scattered.

The tower built by the god of death has no need for the living.

Of those living in the world of light, only those who could climb the tower were those who paid the toll of the soul.

“Are you okay?”

“… … Yes, I survived somehow.”

“-really. You are too selfish.”

Allano bowed his head.

Climbing up the tower without listening to him was clearly a mistake.

I looked at the sweat that formed on my bones.

This man would have run alone in the dark to protect himself.

It occurred to me that the man who was called a tyrant might actually be lonely more than anyone else.

Did he prepare for a year to shake off his anger and jump into danger alone?

“-you.”

“hmm?”

Alano stood up straight and asked.

Blue eyes glistened in the dim light.

“are you okay? You should have gone in before me.”

“As you can see.”

Manus answered calmly.

His back was upright, and his face was calm.

The sweat evaporated at some point, revealing her smooth face.

nobility.

How could those who saw it not admire it?

Thinking that I had been showing that kind of side for a year, an unknown emotion surged up.

“Don’t come here alone. You don’t even have to tell the teachers.”

“Are you not telling the teachers?”

“I wouldn’t know if I told them. I won’t even tell you. If you think about why I was here alone… … .”

“but-.”

Manus didn’t listen and moved on.

I’m done with what I have to say

I wanted to talk more, but my body just couldn’t stand it.

‘I have to grow up too.’

I stared blankly at the back of Manus, who had disappeared without answering.

The tension was released, and my legs trembled.

The real life was so terrifying.

‘Manus.’

you are-

I followed the path that Manus had taken.

As if going through a mirror, I moved my body carefully, and the fresh air pierced my lungs.

The clouds started to roll in again.

The wind blew again, and the dark green sky disappeared.

There was no place with strange mana, and the school lobby, where all the lights were turned off, caught my eye.

“still… … There must be someone who knows about this phenomenon somewhere.”

This phenomenon is dangerous.

Alano remembered the demons he had to desperately run away from.

If such people come out and run amok… … .

It will cause irreversible human damage.

Mythos Academy will not be able to continue its legacy.

It was not a country that would just leave such a serious issue unattended.

Alano returned to the dormitory, vowing not to forget the memories of the day.

The time everyone ends the day.

It was a perspective that someone took a step closer to the truth of the world.

Returning to the dormitory, Manus sat down without washing.

It throbbed, as if there were still traces of magic on her fingertips.

From a world where humans couldn’t do anything, they fell into a world where only humans can do everything.

‘Magic… … That’s it.’

I can’t forget that thrilling feeling.

It’s nothing like pressing a pad in a game and seeing gorgeous effects on a monitor!

It was a completely different feeling.

This is what being alive is like.

[Interference confirmed.]

[Your fate will change.]

[Affects Alano’s growth rate.]

[It affects the growth rate of Manus.]

“I’m a little nervous, but-“

would it be better

Alano has gained valuable experience and will be a strong supporter of Cale.

If the wind caused by the butterfly blows in the opposite direction, that would be a good thing in its own way.
