16 – You’ll see me later.
As I researched the data related to the dungeon and looked at the available scrolls, the two days passed quickly.
Plaza of Academy Magic Faculty. The students are all together for grouping, but I am busy looking at the trivia.
A humorous post that gains sympathy from peers, club promotion, and troubles with love that young people would normally do….
Of course, I’m not holding on to trivia because I’m interested in things like this.
Auction Board.
What caught my attention was the auction board. What was interesting about this board was that there were no restrictions on what items could be auctioned off.
[We sell textbooks for 『Magic through Culture』. ]
[ Selling voice. I want to talk about life. ]
[ Organize the clothes you don’t wear. ]

Even if it’s just a post that catches your eye right away, it’s like this.
In this place, when a seller offers to sell something, the necessary people set the price as if it were an auction, and the transaction was actively carried out.
Recently, I have been given the need to solve my financial problems.
I was assigned an A grade and enjoyed various discounts, but the fact that I need money in the end is still the same.
The reason is, of course, that they do not receive any support from their family.
Scarlett said she would not give me any support, and I readily agreed.
I intend to solve all the problems that arise toward me solely on my own.
‘Is this much of what can be auctioned off right now?’
[ Magic Teaching Auction. ]
I wrote a post consisting of only seven letters. Literally, I intend to receive a reward after giving instructions related to magic.
It is distinctly different from an extracurricular auction. It means that you will not try to hold on to the other person and understand them.
“Hey.”
Suddenly, someone tapped my arm with an elbow.
“Aren’t you going to include trivia? The professor will be back soon, so don’t notice.”
Excessive cosmetic scent, pink hair, sharp nails, ear piercings….
It took a while before I remembered that her name was Arya Fontyne.
It’s annoying to deal with and I’ve seen all of Trivia’s errands. Instead of answering, I tucked her trivia into the inside pocket of her uniform and her jacket.
“Joe should be chosen well…. Oh, I’m nervous.”
“Can’t we just let the people who want to make groups?”
The plaza, where many A-rank newcomers gathered, was quite noisy. This is a natural step as they are facing an important task.
“Is there any sign of the Agora board problem being solved yet?”
“It will take a while. It’s only been two days.”
Arya chatters non-stop with the girls around her. Needless to say, stories about the agora board often came up.
The story of this guy’s Agora board is heard everywhere.
“Isn’t it a bit annoying that only you remain anonymous?”
“It’s embarrassing, but to be honest, I have nothing to say. If you twist it, you have to loosen it.”
“That’s right. Anyway, I don’t know who it is, but it’s really great…. Are you sure you can’t even solve Trixie?”
“Hey, hey, be quiet. Trixie is here.”
Following Arya’s gaze, I also turned her head towards Trixie.
Trixie must be…. A drunkard who was so drunk that he couldn’t even control himself.
However, the girl who came into sight was a girl who seemed to have nothing to do with the word drunkard.
There is not the slightest bit of disheveled appearance. A blue girl with a serious expression, as if even those who looked at her would become chilly, stood in a corner of the plaza.
Light dark circles were left on her white face like drawing paper.
“Everyone pay attention.”
At that time, a familiar voice rang out.
At the same time, a professor wearing a large cone hat appears. It was Violet.

“Before explaining the exploration task, I will disclose the results of the group formation. Don’t worry, it’s completely random.”
Rather, it was completely random, so the guys around me gulped down their saliva as if they were more concerned.
When Violet flicked her fingers, a mana board appeared in front of her. The names of the students were grouped into groups of three.
Exclamations erupted as joys and sorrows intersect here and there. There were voices of relief, and there were also voices that bordered on screaming.
“I’ll give you three minutes. Gather together and stand. Say hello to each other.”
Crowds of people began to move with a buzz. It was only then that I checked the members’ names.
[ Article 11 ]
▶Trixy von Fritz
▶Martin Luke
▶Flan
The fact that I am assigned to a group and that there are students assigned to the same group as me is unfamiliar.
I didn’t even like the composition very much. I don’t like having to take a drunk with me.
I didn’t even want to say goodbye.
While I was just keeping my place, Trixie was suddenly in a commotion.
I can’t believe I’m going to inject again. I rolled my eyes and looked towards Trixie.
Fortunately, Trixie wasn’t injecting, just a male student clinging to her and busily talking to her.
“Thank you. I am Martin Luke. hahahahaha~ Trixie is like Zorani. This exploration task must be too easy?”
He is short and his smirk is a little greasy. Maybe that’s Martin Luke.
“Shut up.”
“Yes… ?”
“Mouth. Shut up.”
“Ah, yes. Okay.”
He kept his mouth shut but smiled brightly.
She looked at Trixie’s eyes like a puppy dealing with its owner. On the other hand, he doesn’t even look at me.
I was sure about that. Group 11’s organization is the worst.
“That’s about saying hello. Everyone, pay attention.”
Violet, who created a podium by manipulating the ground, stood looking down at the students.
“There is no student who does not know that this is a scroll.”
She held one of her scrolls in her hand and opened her mouth.
“Then the question here, this assignment is an open scroll. Why?”
Perhaps because the subject of the question was Violet, there was an atmosphere where everyone was reluctant to answer.
Suddenly, Violet stared at me with eyes demanding an answer.
There was no sign of taking my eyes off him, so I had no choice but to open my mouth and answer.
“Because the level of the students is low.”
Then Violet twitched her eyebrows. Come to think of it, I habitually used short words again.
“What is he saying?”
“I must be crazy. What does he say….”
The students standing nearby also began to mutter. But I just spit out the terrible truth.
Scrolls with spells engraved on paper soaked with mana are quite useful for beginner mages.
It is definitely so because it is a preparation that can be used in emergencies such as mana depletion or mana stagnation, as well as experiencing magic that one would never be able to use.
But in other words.
The students gathered here absolutely did not have the ability to use various magics. That’s why I was given an open scroll type assignment.
First of all, I don’t like scrolling very much. Because I think it’s a wizard to tell you that there is a unique area of magic that can never be contained in a scroll.
“Where are you all looking? Look at the professor.”
The shocked eyes of the students who were looking at me turned to Violet. The professor stares at me and asks.
“The level is low. What is it?”
“Having to use the scroll itself is low-level and embarrassing.”
And if you can overcome it without using scrolls, it will be doubly wonderful.
But that was then. Someone shouted as they raised their hands.
“Professor Violet!”
A girl with pink hair with a wrinkled expression. The owner of the hand was Arya Fontaine. She said in her excited voice.
“I think it’s too arrogant for Flan and no one else to say that. You don’t seem to know your subject!”
Violet alternately looked at the me who was standing calmly and the resentful Aria.
Then, suddenly, the corner of his mouth was subtly rolled up, and he made a meaningful expression.
“Then Arya student, why do you think this exam will be an open scroll?”
“Scroll technology is evolving day by day. Wizards must now keep pace with the times. It is only natural to increase the proficiency of using scrolls and improve agility.”
Arya glanced at me with a sharp gaze and continued her words.
“Is the level of a mage underestimated just because she uses scrolls? It’s an idea that only old-time wizards would do. Even if you don’t know what era this is, don’t you know too much?”
The corner of Violet’s mouth rises more and more. She turns her head and asks me again.
“Flan student, I heard that it is?”
I did not show any reaction. It’s because I was tired of dealing with it slowly.
“Should I tell Arya the answer?”
But Violet urged me on. She sighed inwardly and parted her lips again.
“It sounds like you are going to stop developing. I can’t use any magic that isn’t on the scroll for the rest of my life.”
“What… !”
Veins stood vertically on Arya’s forehead.
“Are you crazy? After all, you’re going to use the scroll in this test too. What the hell are you pretending to be special for you from a while ago!”
“Aria student. Calm. Calm.”
Violet laughed and calmed Arya down. She already had no intention of hiding her own smile.
“Flan student. Arya wasn’t wrong at all. I’m going to participate in this test, but if I keep sticking to that attitude, it’s going to be a bit of a nuisance. Will Plan not participate in this test?”
“I will participate.”
Then sparks flew from Arya’s eyes.
“Then keep your mouth shut and participate! Why are you stepping out?”
“I will participate without using scrolling.”
“…… !”
Silence descends as if time has stopped.
Arya’s eyes widened and her words cut off. Violet also put on a slightly bewildered expression.
Violet asked me back.
“It’s an open scroll test. Are you saying you want to participate without scrolling?”
I nodded instead of answering. Violet now burst out laughing out loud.
“It’s good to keep your word…. Are you confident enough to get high grades? You have to think carefully. There are two jowons.”
“Yes.”
“Yes. Good.”
She continues her words as she looks around her students.
“Since he imposed a penalty, there should be a reward. If the plan receives the highest grade, Article 11 exempts from the next written test. A student who objected to doing this?”
No one raised a hand.
The eyes of the students who had been looking at me with astonished eyes had already changed into a look of ridicule and ridicule.
“Yes. Then do that.”
Violet flicked her palms once to make a cracking sound.
Then, scarecrows wearing conical hats appear at regular intervals in a large plaza, and numbers are engraved on students’ name tags.
“I’ll check each person to see if they use the scroll properly. The rest will start studying on their own while waiting for their turn.”
At Violet’s words, the students disperse in order.
Even then, one blatant gaze was on me, and of course it was Arya Fontaine’s.
She stared at me and shook her head.
I also snorted once and moved on.
“Hey. Flan.”
No, I was about to move it, but Aria’s voice caught me. I only turned her head slightly to look at her.
“See you later.”
I thought for a while about what to answer. Arya urges me on.
“See you later. Won’t you answer me?”
I thought and thought about what to answer.
In the end, I couldn’t stand it and burst into laughter.
