The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 67 – The scenario is not over yet

#One

I can feel the blurring of mana vividly.

The magic that imprisoned the demon continued to steal its life force.

It didn’t take long for the mask to freeze and crack.

Manus, who was covered with various skills, was far beyond the firepower of level 50.

It’s a skill worthy of a second round.

Arden stroked his forearm in admiration at the thrilling sensation of stabbing his body.

‘This is Gongja’s unique ability… … . Combining this ability with the ability shown last time… … .’

For a moment, I got goosebumps.

After that, I decided not to think about it.

Enormous power, enough to make you wonder if you’re still in your late teens.

If Confucius, who is still young, becomes great, I wondered to what level he would rise to look at the world.

I will climb a place that I dare not climb, and see the world.

An electrifying feeling that made his whole body thump thump thump dominated Aden’s whole body.

“-There is no sign of being felt around.”

“We’ll go to the tower too.”

“-yes.”

Manus turned his head.

Then, suddenly, I was able to see the two towers at the same time.

A ziggurat dyed in darkness and a dormitory that shines brightly in the moonlight.

As if suggesting two contrasting worlds of light and darkness, the twin towers have completely different contrasts.

Suddenly, he felt uneasy.

If even the tower protected by light is stained with darkness-.

‘No, that wasn’t planned.’

The problem to be solved now is to save the new force, Emerson.

Only when she is there can I spur the future climb.

That’s all.

He is a child who plays a very important role in the story.

‘Lupera… … That name keeps getting stuck.’

Loupera.

It is a name that has appeared in this story as well.

A name that came out as just a passing extra.

Her name, which he had passed through as an optional quest, pricked his perception so that he did not know why.

Anyway, you’ll find out when you go into the tower.

All answers come from the Tower.

When I opened my eyes in the dark, what I felt was an excruciating pain.

An unknown space.

I found myself lying in the cold air and in a space where it was difficult to breathe.

No matter how much I looked around, even if I raised my voice, nothing came of it.

I saw a red moon.

I stretched out my hand, but couldn’t feel anything.

‘Where the hell is this?’

The woman looked around through the window.

It was a familiar sight.

After class, it reminded me of the scene I sometimes go up to the rooftop to see.

probably not wrong

The question is, ‘Why has the world changed this way and what is this mysterious space?’

You should also find out why you are here.

‘It’s clear that it’s a school… … . Who kidnapped you?’

Memories are all gone

The last thing I remember is just going to class, doing my homework, and going to bed to sleep.

After that, when I opened my eyes, I was here.

“Um-.”

She closed her eyes.

Concentrating mana, he developed his special skill.

A wide spread of mana ran through the building.

and-.

“This, this… … .”

All that felt, she slumped.

My legs gave out, and a tremendous fear gripped my entire body.

Is this an academy?

Have you ever been possessed by the magic of a dream horse?

If not, are you dreaming?

His breath became rough, and his eyes turned yellow.

“Nonsense… … .”

His trembling body did not easily follow orders.

The signs I felt were getting closer.

She hurriedly moved and hid herself behind a massive pillar.

suck-.

I held my breath.

The sound I heard was getting closer and closer.

Although she was a mage, she was far from combat.

‘Why do you have to-.’

Tears flowed stingingly.

Taking a short breath, I begged him not to be found.

Primary Emerson.

Emerson, the second daughter of a place that has been called the ‘family of guides’ since ancient times.

Their specialty was search, search, extensive detection and identification of the enemy, not combat.

That dark blood was also passed down to Emerson, and she dreamed of becoming the best guide.

‘There is no hostility. It’s just passing by.’

Trude-.

Trude-.

The sound gets closer.

At the sound of footsteps pasting the pillar, Emerson stopped breathing.

The sound of my heart beating so loudly.

Trude-.

Trude-.

Signs go away.

The sound of footsteps also fades away.

She drew in a long, thin breath.

‘What do we do?’

Close your eyes again, concentrate, and scan the building.

Countless creatures, no… … Should we call this life?

It seemed that countless beings were aiming for their lives.

What should I do?

Her despair only grew.

Fortunately, she has the ability to avoid them.

Can someone save me?

‘I can’t die here.’

It was a specification to die unfairly.

okay.

Let’s hold on until the day is bright.

Then you will be able to get out of this hellish place.

Emerson made up his mind and moved.

It’s dangerous here.

There will be places these monsters don’t go.

I had to go find it.

#3

“town-“

Here, there is a man from the common people.

His name is Lupera.

When I woke up from discomfort, I realized that I couldn’t move my whole body.

The mouth was blocked, and the whole body was bound.

In my blurry vision, I saw a strange figure moving around.

Did you hear his voice?

A figure he had never seen before approached him.

“-You woke up.”

No, the voice was not unfamiliar.

The person who now sees a clearer sight.

With her long hair hanging down, she was definitely someone even Lupera knew.

Being so out of touch with reality, I blankly looked up at her.

She seemed to like Lupera’s eyes and smiled.

He seems to be enjoying the surprised look in Lupera’s eyes.

She casually uttered surprising words.

“Do you want to go outside? But what about Even if you go out now, no one will remember you.”

“town-. Ugh-!”

What do you mean by that? I shouted that it was Class A of Class Golden Snake.

Her mouth was shut, but for some reason she seemed to guess what he wanted to say just by looking at his eyes.

A soft hand caressed Lupera’s cheek.

What the hell is going on?

Am I dying here, right now?

His eyes were constantly asking for answers.

“Stay still. You are so rare and fresh… … After all, you are a valuable person. I have no intention of harming you.”

“town-!”

Then release it!

Lupera raised mana to release the restraints that were holding her whole body.

But strangely, Mana did not move.

For magicians, mana does not move.

A magician without mana is weaker than an ordinary person who fights a little.

Lupera was overcome with despair and lowered her head.

I slept soundly and woke up, but what is this… … .

His emotions were changing from despair to anger, from rage to resignation.

“Don’t kill your emotions too much. I’ll release you soon. I don’t know if you promise to stay quiet. Will you release me right now? Oh, would you like to talk?”

When she waved her hand, her mouth, which had been tightly shut, was released, and she was able to speak.

When her breath was relieved, Lupera poured out words as if screaming.

without even realizing what he was talking about.

“Please let me go, why are you doing this?! I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“Not nice. I know. But, you can’t touch the noble family carelessly. your birth… … You know?”

“Because I am a commoner… … Did you make me like this?”

The woman nodded.

commons.

It is said that the aristocrats’ behavior has faded and many policies have been created for the common people.

It is said that the current era is an easy time for commoners to live.

However, that’s just an appearance.

Those below always have to struggle to uphold the nobles.

The fact that the foundation was the common people still did not change.

“okay-. Maybe it’s because the aristocratic families have grown so much in peace these days. Isn’t that strange?”

“… … .”

Lupera said nothing.

The words ‘Because you are a commoner’ just kept ringing in my head.

The woman sneered at the nobles.

What is the future that the twisted idea envisions?

Instead of the anger and fear of living with Lupera, she felt curiosity fill her head little by little.

You brought yourself here because you’re a commoner?

‘Then, he’s saying he’s going to use me somewhere.’

What’s the point of saying no one remembers when you go outside?

curiosity.

Some say that curiosity brings ruin, but for any creature that can think even a little, curiosity is the driving force for survival.

Lupera cautiously opened her mouth.

“Then you’re not trying to kill me, are you? It’s not like it’s being used for experiments, is it?”

“Oh my, such a sad word. The reason I called you here is to avoid everyone’s attention.”

“The academy will know I’m gone.”

The power of the academy was not at a level that a single family or individual could do.

Even those great families recognized the academy as a sacred and inviolable territory.

I learned a lot while studying history.

Lupera knew right away that Mythos Academy was not just an educational institution.

A hidden space, and a faculty member who runs a different track.

Funds that I don’t know how or where they come from.

“It’s okay. This is a completely different world from the world we’ve been living in. hmm… … Is it some kind of gap?”

“gap… … yo. this?”

“Only the elect can enjoy this privilege. And I know the means by which the unchosen can be forcibly led through the chasm.”

“So, are you saying you can’t find me at the academy?”

yes.

The woman nodded.

Soon after, she held out a sweet fruit to Lupera.

The push whispered by that sweet tongue was an irresistible temptation.

What kind of wizard doesn’t seek power?

What kind of commoner wouldn’t dream of rising to fame?

The hand given to Lupera did not lead him to despair.

“how is it? Growing strength in a place where no one knows. And to show those proud humans how great you have become.”

“If it is a power cultivated in a legitimate way… … .”

“You can increase your strength in far greater ways than that. Where no one knows.”

Lupera closed her eyes tightly.

Humans always have to choose.

Even if it’s a decision that will lead to your own ruin.

Lupera opened her mouth.

A small smile formed on the woman’s lips.
