The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game - Chapter 191



Episode 191 – Now is the Time for Us to Repay

#One

Belt of the selfish mind.

It was one of the few [growth-type items] in this game.

A function that gradually increases the performance of an item according to the wearer’s level.

It was one of only six items, and it was an item that many people passed on because they couldn’t get it.

It’s nice to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it?

But what is and what is not makes a very big difference.

“This… … It feels a bit different.”

“Are you able to appraise now?”

“yes. please wait for a moment.”

Emerson looked at his belt and began to concentrate.

A cluster of light burst out, and Emerson’s mouth opened slightly.

Anticipation radiated from everyone’s eyes.

Emerson stammered out options for the item.

Her voice trembled thinly, as if she couldn’t believe it herself.

How could this option come about?

“This, once… … It has a rejuvenating effect. It restores mana and physical strength.”

“Ohhh, that’s good! also?!”

“And, it has an effect that increases all attack power. uh again… … Reduces all damage by a small amount? It has an effect.”

“What, what?!”

Emerson’s words did not end there.

Because there are important things left.

“and… … There is the most important thing.”

“What?”

“Is there anything else important here?”

“yes… … . It seems to have the ability to grow by eating other artifacts.”

Was there such a function?

Manus is also an option that makes you tilt your head.

Feeding and growing other artifacts was unheard of.

Wouldn’t that increase the value tremendously?

There was admiration in everyone’s eyes.

In addition, greed was also visible at first glance.

It doesn’t matter what job it is, and it’s an artifact with excellent versatility.

It’s natural for anyone to be greedy.

Emerson asked quietly.

“this… … Who would you like to have?”

“How about deciding by voting?”

“vote? that’s good.”

Nia agreed.

they decided

Tomorrow morning, everyone will gather in the club room to decide who the artifact is.

Quite a lot happened today.

It wouldn’t make much sense to move forward.

It happened to be the floor with the return point, so you should go down and take a break.

There was a lot of work to do when I went back.

You’ll need to absorb the magic stones and review the battle.

“It was especially difficult this time.”

“Iknow, right. I think I should also take Professor Jennifer’s class.”

“Why are you running around all day?”

“yes. hahahahaha, it seems like a magician shouldn’t neglect exercise. How many floors have you jumped up today? … .”

Everyone agreed with Pearson’s chattering words.

It seemed that the physical aspect became more important now.

To solve everything with mana, the enemy’s level gradually became too high.

It was two days with a lot of work.

In particular, Manus had a really diverse experience.

Still, they made it through without any serious injuries.

It was quite a successful climb.

#2

A night when thick darkness covers the sky.

Cale was thinking about the artifact.

Actually, her mind was already made up.

She was still mulling over the words.

＜The tower is a place where you can be stained with greed.＞

What Black said.

From the eyes my colleagues showed me today, a bit of anxiety welled up.

Of course, on the surface it won’t be like that.

But, you don’t know what’s inside people… … .

Especially when Cale lived outside the academy, he saw a lot of such things.

Adults who desperately wanted to have even one more trivial thing.

Kids fighting each other for something.

‘So, even I shouldn’t show that kind of side.’

The moment even one person revealed their greed, everything that had been built up until now could be distorted.

She knew it instinctively, and made up her mind.

It was also Manus who caught the giant in the first place.

“Okay, decided.”

Cale went up to his bed on top of his sleeping roommate without knowing the world.

What will others think?

I was curious about their intentions.

Please, don’t forget his grace.

Please, don’t break this sticky bond.

On the other hand, Anais and Alano also had similar concerns.

Manus.

The grace I received from him was really deep.

I couldn’t see a way to reciprocate with my family or my skills, but it just worked out.

‘This time, it’s the way to repay the favor of the past.’

Surprisingly, the thoughts of the two were exactly the same.

A lot has changed.

I’ve always had help.

Now they thought it was time to help him too.

‘Keil will surely ask to give the artifact to his senior.’

Anais rested her chin and thought.

Senior Alano seemed like he would take Manus as well.

Senior Guillermo… … To be honest, I don’t know, Pearson was thinking of grilling himself.

The problem is Melanie, Emerson, and Nia seniors.

“Nia-senpai doesn’t know at all. I don’t know what’s inside, what’s inside.”

It was.

We were fighting together, but I couldn’t figure out how she was climbing the tower, and what thoughts she had towards us.

If that’s an advantage, is that an advantage?

Sometimes it’s not good to show your true feelings.

‘It doesn’t matter to me, but other kids might think seniors are weird.’

You’ll see it this time

what position is she in?

I had to go to class again from tomorrow.

Midterm exams are over, so I let go.

“Ughhh. Let’s go to sleep.”

After running around and shooting magic for a long time, I was tired.

She led a languid body.

Dawn will break soon, but that was fine.

Because there was so much to gain.

next day.

Before class started, everyone gathered in the club room.

All of them had solemn expressions, but their eyes were wide-eyed as if they had been troubled all night.

It was so funny that Manus laughed.

“It seems everyone is worried.”

“How can I not worry?”

“that’s right. That’s a real treasure, a treasure.”

Well, if it’s the first time you’ve come across a treasure like this, you’ll be at a loss.

When he first ate this item, he had a lot of worries.

Who will extract the optimal efficiency?

Who should distribute the items to make future attacks easier?

They must have had similar concerns.

No, maybe for a more fundamental reason he stayed up all night.

It was a situation that Manus could fully understand, so laughter came out.

“So, have you thought enough?”

“yes.”

Seeing the unanimous response, I couldn’t help but look so cute.

Now, it was time to vote.

Hosted by Emerson.

“Then, please collect the notes here.”

“here.”

“ruler.”

Everyone’s notes were gathered.

Whoever gets the most votes here will become the owner of the [Belt].

Gulp, someone swallowed dry saliva.

Emerson opened the first note.

“uh… … One vote for kale came out.”

“next?”

Everyone’s expression trembled slightly.

Are the waves split like this?

Holding my breath and hiding my anxiety, I waited for the next note.

Emerson unfolded the next note.

“… … I got one vote for Manus.”

Phew-.

Someone stroked his chest.

Manus raised a question mark to himself.

What happened?

Why did my name come up and everyone likes it?

‘No way, are you trying to drive me?’

Do you have such extraordinary thoughts?

Let’s see.

He crossed his arms and watched the turn.

The name was called in the next note.

“This time, it’s Manus senior.”

“Oh oh.”

“All right, what next? Next is Manus-senpai, right? Right?”

Anais blurted out.

Emerson opened the next note and nodded.

Everyone looked at each other.

Nia crossed her arms and opened her mouth.

“Everybody tell me honestly, did they all use Manus?”

“… … yes.”

“me too… … .”

“Then who has one vote for Kale?”

All eyes turned to one person.

Like Nia, it was Manus, the one with arms crossed.

Manus resolutely deflected his gaze and nodded his head coolly.

“I wrote it.”

“oh… … But I think the thing that comes to mind the most is Kale?”

“I was just thinking about efficiency.”

“You’ll be fine. But what? Everyone seems to want you to have that.”

Everyone nodded their heads, their eyes shining brightly.

Emerson chuckled and held out his belt.

“Here you go. Because everyone wants a senior… … This is your senior.”

“… … Thank you.”

clap clap clap!

Melanie clapped and congratulated me.

As if the joy was contagious, everyone clapped wildly before anyone knew it.

Pure joy and celebration.

Manus received the belt while feeling the emotions being transmitted.

You are still so pure.

That’s why I was relieved.

‘I hope it stays like this in the future.’

There were only a few episodes that came to mind roughly.

That’s something I’ll be able to work out later.

Let’s put on the belt, strange power was transmitted.

‘The real effect will be exerted in the erosion zone… … .’

Still, it’s true that I can feel the strangely wriggling power.

Alano stretched as much as he could and rose from his seat.

Report cards will be released today.

Classes will be split in half.

“Today is report card day, isn’t it? I hope you all have a good time.”

“ah… … I see.”

“Are you shaking for some reason?”

Everyone here can’t have bad grades.

However, receiving report cards has always been a nerve-wracking thing.

Even Manus, who has a certain degree of immobility, is in a state of excitement to some extent.

Everyone chattered and scattered.

Only two people, Cale and Manus, were walking leisurely.

“Yeah… … .”

“Why but.”

“It’s an anniversary soon. Founding.”

“yes.”

The tips of Cale’s ears turned red.

Manus deliberately walked away without looking at her.

“Senior, are you going back to your family?”

“I don’t know.”

“then… … Won’t you come to the city with me? I think the chairman opened up a new client this time.”

“hmm… … .”

Kong-dak-dak-dak.

Cale’s heart raced.

Will Manus-senpai accept the offer?

She closed her eyes tight.

There is no answer… … .

As her mood plummeted, she heard a soft voice.

“City. good night. let’s go.”

“I… … really?!”

“okay. I have never been to the city either.”

Cale seems to be asking ‘Really?’ with a look in his eyes, so Manus nods quietly.

city.

It was also the closest place to the academy, and also the place where the empire’s huge canal was located.

The reason why the academy was able to be located in the center of the continent was because of the canal.

When Manus remembered the city, his excitement grew.

It’s been a while.

It feels like going on a picnic.

‘I guess I’ve adapted quite a bit now.’

Whether it’s adults or children, it’s always exciting to go to a new place.

In any case, Cale’s proposal was something that could serve as a reminder to Manus as well.

Rest and reorganization were necessary from time to time.

“The test results are out!”

Lunch hour.

The result came out with someone’s cry.
