The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 52 – How to rise above confusion and fear

#One

The horrors of that day still haunted Cale.

Anais, who was chasing him with bloodshot eyes.

Pearson sat down and cried.

Even oneself who couldn’t demonstrate his genius because he couldn’t chant magic properly.

The price for being selfish was high, and I tried not to show it, but I couldn’t.

“Whoa-.”

take a small breath

Not a soft exhalation, but a small trembling sigh.

Today, three days after that day.

While Manus and Alano were in the middle of overcoming disaster on an artificial island, they climbed to the 35th floor.

There must be Cale, the power will be full, they confidently brandished their magic in front of the watchman.

Armed with solid durability, the boss withstood their magic and cast one magic.

‘Can I stand again?’

Intense experiences seldom leave your head.

This is human nature, and we unconsciously choose to be attracted to or avoided.

Memories formed in a particularly bad direction can leave deep trauma.

The experience of not being able to save his comrades with his own hands was coiled deep in his heart.

Magic was a field he was quite confident in.

I’ve been told I have talent since I was young.

but-.

“Kale-. are you inside? Aren’t you sleeping?”

He heard the voice of his colleague, Anais, who casually called him.

Cale got up and opened the door.

Immediately, the preparations were finished.

A faint fear dominated his whole body.

He raised his eyes and looked into the pupils of Anais, who was slightly above him.

He didn’t show it, but he could see it in Cale’s eyes, whom he had become quite friendly with.

That she, too, has a slight insecurity.

“-let’s go.”

“okay. Melanie is already down.”

Melanie said she would join Pearson and went down first.

The two walked slowly and left the dormitory.

If it was like usual, I would have made a lot of noise, but today was different.

The red-haired woman blurted out.

“… … Can you do well?”

“Since Manus senior is going with me-.”

“What if the senior abandoned us?”

Anais expressed her anxiety as it was.

Manus.

Allano.

I have felt a lot while living in the past month.

Of course, the Floyce family was also a family, and it was a family that was mentioned without leaving out anywhere.

Floyce is praised as a family that commands the sun, but his status was different from the two.

Harrison, and Caesar.

No matter how hard she tried, the talents of the two didn’t seem to be able to catch up.

Anxiety and impatience only grew.

It was only a month, but the girl’s sensibility was that sensitive.

“It can’t be.”

“I am… … .”

– I’m anxious.

Anais swallowed bitterly, fearing that his friend would be worried.

Because I didn’t feel the need to transfer her anxiety to another colleague.

Cale stared blankly into Anais’s eyes.

“Anais.”

“-huh?”

“Senior Manuson… … You are doing a lot for us.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Cale said firmly and clearly.

With a fierce look, as if looking at Anais as usual.

“-Then don’t doubt it.”

“… … .”

Anais could not answer.

yeah i knew

What is the doubt, rather, isn’t it a position to bow down to him?

“… … I don’t doubt it.”

Slowly and honestly confess your feelings that you have been thinking about over and over again.

Before midnight approached, Anais and Cale faced each other.

One with stubborn faith, the other with -.

“I’m anxious. Senior Manus and Senior Alano told us… … No, I’m afraid you won’t be disappointed in me.”

“They are not like that.”

“I know, I know. but… … Do you remember that day?”

Night of the Dead.

Anais, who was investigating the day’s events, slowly opened her mouth.

“Actually, no one saw where Manus-senpai was doing. I was so anxious Aren’t they trying to test us?”

Where are you watching, and will you continue to evaluate them and measure their future value?

So, it was she who said to challenge the 35th floor.

The desire to be recognized, the two seniors who have become distant as if they would leave at any moment.

Anais, who has always been loved and lived, was unfamiliar with a shaky, unstable relationship.

There is a common misunderstanding that children of aristocratic families do.

That the world will revolve around you.

“-It won’t be like that.”

“ha… … I do not know. Why are you doing this?”

“… … Shall I ask?”

Cale said this without much hesitation, but Anais didn’t.

I couldn’t act because the inferiority complex I had implicitly piled up and festered.

The misunderstanding deepened at the thought of not moving until the clear situation was grasped.

Cale let out a small sigh as he looked at Anais, who was shaking like crazy.

I also felt a bit resentful toward senior Manus.

It would have been nice if he had revealed himself a little more.

“Let’s ask. Why?”

“Is that okay?”

“-huh.”

If you are a senior, you will surely answer.

Cale firmly believed.

He was a colleague and friend to be with for a long time to come.

If it was a relationship that would break here, it would have been better if we hadn’t met in the first place.

Cale had no intention of letting go of this relationship.

I learned that correcting those who are going the wrong way is the role of a friend.

#2

“… … You’re a little late.”

“Shall we go get the car?”

Responding to Manus who muttered curtly, Melanie asked cautiously.

Manus shook his head.

Mumble-.

He also paid attention to Pearson, who suddenly showed a keen enthusiasm for learning.

Emotions that I have been ignoring come to the surface one by one.

It must be because the memories of the day my instincts rejected came to mind, and I was driven mentally.

There is a long way to go.

‘I have to overcome.’

There were countless beings with more severe patterns.

The 35th floor was just an outpost, and if you didn’t have the basic knowledge, you couldn’t go up.

Today we will teach you how to stand above confusion and fear.

‘There are many ways to solve status abnormalities, but-.’

Usually, they use items or use exclusive skills.

After the comrades who join later demonstrate their strength in earnest, the status ailments aren’t a factor to worry about too much.

However, this is reality.

An abnormal condition here could have left a deep trauma.

If you do it wrong, you may have to carry the post-traumatic stress for the rest of your life.

Since he is still a young student, attacks that manipulate his mind and emotions are bound to be lethal.

“What about the last gate?”

“Oh, there is a gate on the 28th floor.”

“When the kids arrive, go first.”

Melanie nodded.

It was fortunate that Melanie’s growth was faster than in the original film.

It seemed that the spirits also started to cooperate faster than expected, so it was reliable.

Manus headed to where Black and White were.

Because there was magic I had to learn for the 35th floor.

Let’s open the door and enter

“after… … Today, if you use that fraudulent eye, you will die.”

“You can win enough without using that. White tidying up.”

The two still look good.

Hearing the sound of shoes and feeling someone’s presence, the eyes of the two beings turned to Manus.

White deliberately disrupted the table and stood up.

“oh-! A long time!”

“… … ha. long time no see.”

Black, who had almost won the game, looked at the table and greeted Manus with a sigh.

Magic Stone XL.

With this, no matter what kind of magic you want, you will be able to learn one thing for sure.

“I’m here to learn magic.”

“What are you going to learn?”

“[Plamma].”

White’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Same goes for black.

Because [Plamma] was not an ordinary magic.

A magic created by dragons, not humans.

It was a low-level magic, but it was an ancient magic that humans are not using now.

White looked at Black.

“this… … Can you learn?”

“His capacity will suffice.”

“good. It’s not difficult to teach. Then what is the price?”

Manus took out a magic stone crystal from his chest.

Rather than learning Plamma magic, the reaction to see the magic stone crystal was bigger.

“You’re giving me this? Are you a hogu?”

“This is all I have right now. If anything, please accumulate it.”

“good. This should be enough for a few months.”

Black also nodded in surprise.

This must be a magic stone crystal possessed by high-ranking demons.

I was curious about how he was saved, but Black chose to keep his mouth shut.

This man has special powers.

Unlike themselves trapped here, the man was able to come and go freely in the tower.

For now, the priority should be to receive it quietly and build strength.

“I didn’t expect anyone to remember Plamma, how did you know?”

“I am Caesar.”

“Caesar… … Oh, Caesar?”

asked White, surprised.

Caesar had heard of it.

A family name remembered by two beings who have lived countless times.

That said, Caesar is a traditional and historic family.

White looked at him intently.

Looking at it like this, do you think it looks better?

“As expected, geniuses have different bloodlines. I remember hey Anyway, it’s called Plamma, right?”

ancient magic.

As one of the hidden elements, it is originally a magic that can only be learned by obtaining information through a specific route.

From the second round onwards, since the information was known in advance, there was a blind spot where restrictions were lifted.

Manus used it.

“Follow me. Ancient magic is harder and more complicated than I thought.”

Ugh-.

A bright light spread out.

A completely different form of magic from black magic and divine magic.

The intertwined geometric spells filled Manus’ eyes.

‘It’s mysterious.’

Arrangement of mana, the flow of mana inside.

It all looked new.

It feels different from the existing class magic.

The line segment drawn along the star shaped the shape of the arcana.

[Plamma]

It is a blessing from the emperor, and a magic that removes all status ailments.

A magic circle shaped like a huge crown completed the blessing.

Manus slowly and accurately spewed mana.

“-Oh oh.”

The rather dark space was brightened.

Manus concentrated and reproduced a more perfect spell than anyone else.

Caesar.

The gift of that great blood perfectly comprehended the essence of ancient magic.

“Really, does it work like this?”

“Ancient magic is ‘non-attribute’ magic. You can’t poke a weak point, but you can’t get in the way of any magic. If you learn it, it will be useful forever.”

For some reason, White was a long talker.

It only took about 5 minutes to learn the magic.

Plamma was class 2 magic, so it wasn’t difficult magic if you just understood the principle.

Manus, who implemented the magic as a test, nodded as if he was satisfied.

At this, White opened his mouth.

She licked her lips and tried to tell me one more magic.

“It’s a waste to receive this much and just send it away. How about learning one more thing?”

“There is no time.”

“Eh, then stop by after finishing your business.”

She whimpered and shook her hand.

They always keep their word once spoken.

That was the law of this world.

Manus smiled faintly and stepped out.

The lobby was empty.

probably went up first.

The preparations are over.

Now, it was my turn to teach my juniors how to overcome fear.
