A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 120

Spire of Radiance (3)

… … An evening with deep dusk.

On a bench in the corner of Arniel’s deserted western promenade, a boy with a pale expression was sitting.

At first glance, the boy’s complexion was so pale that it seemed like he was not a human being, so much so that one might have thought he was dead or a doll. However, if you look closely, you can see that there was just a hint of anger on his face.

-Hehe, Perta. Why are you so angry?

Behind Perta, somewhere.

A voice came out from the darkness.

“… … Why do you keep interrupting my ‘meal’? “Didn’t you say you can do whatever you want?”

-Hot hot hot! Yes, I did. Arniel is like a ‘buffet’ to you. It must be very embarrassing to have to endure delicious food. Even though the voice sounded cheerful, Ferta did not react cheerfully. He said with one eyebrow raised.

“So far, we’ve been able to feed a few more people.”

-I know, I know. But the plan has changed. That kid is useful. Don’t you think you’ll like the main dish more than those little desserts?

“Main dish… … ?”

-okay! Estelle’s location was discovered. I was recently transported to Spiers of Radiance. It looks like they are probably trying to decide on a contractor there.

“… … .”

As Perta stared into space without saying a word, the man hiding in the dark smiled brightly.

-I was very lucky. We have been trying to infiltrate the Spire of Radiance for decades, and have completely identified the barrier to a specific floor. If the timing is right, it can capture not only Estelle but also all of Arniel’s ‘candidates’ who want to sign a contract with it.

“all… … ?”

-okay! all! It’s going to be a very festive day! Because all the students participating in the ‘academic conference’ that day are your prey!

Ferta’s pupils dilated.

-Wilzed’s minor princess? The princess of Herael? A nobleman from Ainglass? It’s all yours, Perta. Are you confident?

Ferta nods.

Although he was only fourteen years old, he temporarily reached a five-star level by exploding all the magical power of the talent he had absorbed since childhood.

Although the magic that can be used is only about 3 stars, at most it will be enough to prey on students.

-On that day, we will send not only the best attacker, ‘Shadow Allays’, but also ‘Mirror Jane’, who is a natural enemy to wizards.

Mirror Jane, she gave up her ocean-level magic and talent, and drew a line at her own limits… … .

It was a monster that had acquired tremendous power to hunt young geniuses who had not yet achieved great success.

A power that exists solely to hunt down genius wizards who are about to bloom, the Magic Blade.

-It will be the worst day for the Magic Tower of Splendor in the world! Hahaha!

-On that day, we will send ‘Mirror Jane’, who is no different from the magicians’ natural enemy. It’s going to be the worst day for the World’s Splendid Magic Tower! Hahaha!

The voice is fading away.

Ferta got up from his seat and walked down the dark walkway. Ferta, who has lived a life like a dull doll, seemed to be looking forward to the ‘academic conference’ and showed a strange feeling of excitement.

* * *

Time passes quickly, and more than a month has passed.

The students’ faces were full of worry as their first exam after admission was approaching, but some students were having a hectic time for other reasons.

Also known as Spire Academic Society.

Only students with the highest grades in Arniel were eligible to participate, and it was an extremely honorable opportunity to explain the magic they had come up with to the great mages of the spire.

‘Participants may bring one companion.’

Kanya Belluna’s expression distorted as she read the notice.

‘Like a companion… … .’

does not exist. It can’t be there. Because of her self-centered personality, I couldn’t make any friends.

Squeak! Snap! Kanya tore up the document on which she had written her companion’s name and threw it in the trash can, then put her bag away without any hesitation.

Some of my classmates asked if they could take me with them, but of course I ignored them.

‘Taking someone with me doesn’t benefit me. ‘I’m comfortable alone.’

The Spire of Radiance was located not far from the lake city of Warspia.

Of course, it was too far to walk, so we had to find a means of transportation. High-ranking nobles and the wealthy used warp gates, and the middle class used their own automatic horse-powered cars.

Since Kanya had been living with Arniel’s support, she had some money saved up, so she used an automatic horse car. There was also a separate driver.

However, in very rare cases, students from very poor backgrounds participated in academic conferences, and such students used school buses.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute!!”

“… … .”

When a loud noise was heard from somewhere, Kanya glanced there. A big boy with tight hair wearing a name tag that read ‘Lenches’ was reaching out his hand towards the departing school bus with a dejected expression.

“It’s still 3 minutes before departure, why!”

Current time, 8:37 AM.

The school bus must be leaving in 40 minutes, but he is such an unlucky boy.

Wow!

“Oops!”

To make matters worse, a horse-powered car that passed right in front of him splashed mud, making Lenches’ school uniform all dirty.

‘Oh, is he Lenches?’

It is so famous that even Kanya knows its name. I got the lowest grades in a subject where I was researching trivial theories like retrograde magic or something.

They would have definitely warned me that I wouldn’t be able to stay at Arniel unless I proved my grades, but since I was receiving F’s all the way from the performance evaluation, there were rumors that even if I did well on the final exam, my expulsion for the next semester was virtually guaranteed.

‘Something like a moron.’

I was about to ignore it and pass by, but I noticed someone approaching Lenches’ side. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most famous boy in Arniel at the moment, Days.

“… … “What’s wrong with your school uniform?”

“Well, I just happened to want to wear a brown uniform, so I painted it.”

“It suits you well. “Did you get transportation?”

“It was there, but I just missed it.”

“School bus?”

Days checked his watch and tilted his head.

“Do you not have a magic tower to sponsor? Normally, when there is a large-scale event like this, they would support at least a horse-powered vehicle.”

“oh! Does Magic Tower provide sponsorship as well? “I heard it for the first time.”

“… … Get in my carriage. “I decided to take you, so I have to take responsibility.”

“thank you! After all, there’s only you, Days!”

Kanya frowned slightly.

‘You’re going to take that Mojiri Dunjae away?’

The quality of a large event like an academic conference varies depending on the level of the attendees.

The academic conference was a place where a total of 20 students gathered to present each other’s magic, point out each other’s magic, and demonstrate logic. In some cases, when there is a lack of knowledge, a companion may speak on behalf of the student.

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think Lenches would be that helpful.

Are you going to take that lowly idiot and use him for something? … .

‘Isn’t it time to worry about others?’

Kanya laughed self-deprecatingly and got on her magic car.

In her arms was a precious thesis written over several months.

… … Yes, I admit it.

Just a month ago, there was an idiot here who hated Arniel for killing the professor and abandoning me, and declared to the heavens that he would take revenge, even if it meant giving up everything to leave a ‘small scar’ on Arniel.

He tried to kill his junior, failed, expelled one classmate in the process, and actually killed another classmate.

It wasn’t even great trash.

Little trash. It’s so worthless that it can be said to be a collection of trash.

… … Nevertheless, it was a paper that contained her dream of magic that she could not throw away. Even though she swore to give up everything, she couldn’t bring herself to do so.

that.

precious.

my magic.

“Senior Kanya. “I’m embarrassed to even call this magic.”

I was being torn to pieces by my junior who was a year younger than me.

‘ah.’

Along with her small dream that was left behind.

“Seniors.”

Zelka Einglass said, tapping Kanya’s thesis.

“This is just a combination of magic power. Have you ever wanted to deepen your fire element? In that case, wouldn’t it have been better to dye the color more red? “If you just increase your destructive power, doesn’t that make it a great magic?”

30 participants, 29 companions.

In the ‘Lecture Hall of the Future’, where a total of 59 students and 20 spire mages gathered, Kanya realized that there was no future.

“Where on earth is the creativity in this magic? That’s what I’m most curious about. “Am I the only one here who doesn’t understand this magic, which is neither original, nor useful, nor powerful, nor beautiful, nor efficient, nor fast?”

When Zelka Einglass asked a question while looking at everyone in the room, the students nodded without realizing it. Most of them must have been seduced by Jelka’s charisma and agreed without even realizing it.

The 99th floor of the Spire of Radiance.

The auditorium of the future, Arniel Academic Society.

Most of the students who gathered here with dreams and hopes felt as if their hair had turned completely white.

Although Kanya was targeted and torn apart at the moment because she was the first hitter, she thought that the same thing would happen next time her thesis was posted.

It’s really unlucky.

How could it be that I got to discuss something like a genius boy like Jelka Einglass at a great event like an academic conference… … .

Still, there was still hope.

The students’ eyes slowly turned towards Days. A boy who is much more humane and a superior genius than Jelka.

May he destroy Xelka Einglass with logic.

I hope to completely dismantle his magic so that he can never open his mouth again.

These were the students who had hoped so much.

“… … That is all.”

Clap clap clap!

Until Jelka’s presentation was over, Days just had a blank expression on his face and didn’t ask any questions or make any comments.

On the contrary, the wizards at the spire even applauded him, saying that he was excellent, so his spirit must have increased even more.

“Are you going to come to the Spire of Radiance to announce magic like this now? Seriously? Ha, this can’t be happening. It’s unbelievably devastating… … . Could you please point out the composition of the technique? Or would you like me to repair the circuit for you?”

As expected, Zelka tore apart the next presenters to a very miserable level each time they showed off their magic.

There was even a hint of strange anger there.

Although Zelka was a genius, he was something of a sociopath who didn’t care the slightest bit about others. How did he end up like that?

One by one, one by one.

The turn passes.

All magic has been completely dismantled.

Finally.

“Days, announce the magic.”

When it was his turn, everyone held their breath. During Zelka’s announcement, it was said that Days stayed quiet and nothing happened, but now it’s different.

When Zelka starts attacking, Days will naturally have to defend, so an argument will inevitably arise.

Each of the 30 students looked at Days’ thesis.

Since they were all geniuses, they were able to roughly understand what kind of magic was being performed as soon as they saw the interpretation of the magic circle written by Days.

… … The initial impressions were the same.

‘beautiful.’

Everyone could think of it.

A snowstorm that flutters like cherry blossoms and a sharp wind that is hidden in between.

at the same time.

‘This is it…’ … .’

Zelka Einglass felt joy.

Days’ magic seemed perfect and beautiful at first glance, but there was definitely a loophole in Zelka’s blue eyes. It’s a perfect hole that can’t be excused no matter what anyone says.

“It’s a fluttering snowflake… … “It’s a beautiful magic name.”

Jelka slowly raised the corners of her mouth and parted her lips. While no one can point out Days’ magic, there is one fatal flaw that only he can see.

“But as beautiful as it is, this magic is nothing more than a fake magic circus. It would be better suited for a local magic show than for combat. Is this a winter make-less festival that starts early? “It would be perfect if we even played some carols.”

Zelka began with a sarcastic remark, pointing to Harang’s magic circle drawn in the form of a hologram at the center of the round table.

“A combination of sharp wind and ice. Very good. But you made a big mistake in a crucial part. How are you going to change the wind’s trajectory?”

The students’ eyes widened at his focused point. Certainly, for a 3-star magic, it succeeded in reproducing strong and irregular weather, but the focus on ‘climate change’ had the disadvantage of acting as a poison and causing great damage to the caster himself.

“This magic spell cannot move the wind as the user wishes. Naturally, you will end up falling victim to your own magic. But let’s engrave a technique to control the wind trajectory… … The concept of weather control will be completely destroyed and relegated to ordinary wind volume manipulation magic.”

He shrugged his shoulders.

Seeing the students as well as the mages nodding their heads as if they were correct, it was clear that his point was correct.

“There is a very good way to solve this. While you are casting the spell, get a secondary wizard and have him fill a large fan with magic and fan it vigorously. “If you get help from others, you can at least provide some protection to prevent the wind’s trajectory from heading towards you.”

ha ha ha!

Several students and mages burst into laughter at Zelka’s sarcastic humor. Even though Zelka’s words may have been unlucky, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Some students still had hope. I hope Days bounces back and gives Jelka a beating like before! However, for some reason, Days could only stare blankly into space and could not say anything.

Clear evidence of defeat.

Since he seemed to be unable to come to his senses after being hit by fierce criticism, it seemed to anyone that this academic conference would end in Zelka’s victory.

“There is nothing more to see. “I will throw this magic in the trash can.”

Even while Jelka laughed coldly and gained the sympathy of his classmates.

‘Something is coming.’

… … Days was concentrating on something with all his attention.

Excited, Excited!

The sharp sense of life thrown away and the scent of blood so disgusting that it gave goosebumps all over my body.

At the same time, what is this warm and cozy feeling that makes my whole body feel cozy and ready to fall asleep?

He didn’t understand.

‘Wizards… … ‘Do you really not feel this?’

After observing the situation for a moment, Harang took out the hair tie he had wrapped around his wrist, tied his hair into a ponytail, and took off the glasses he always wore.

‘Now, there is no turning back.’

His eyes cooled down.
