Episode 139 – The thrill of reverse dividend is always right
#One
“what is this? Are the plates spinning strangely?”
“A real monster is a monster. Is that right?”
“Everyone, get ready to get gold.”
A spectator seat with mixed joys and sorrows.
When the league started, there was something that spread like a trend.
Exciting win predictions.
Gambling that requires precise analysis through data.
It is called by various names, but speculation follows sports.
Group B, which consisted of only the top students in the year, and Group D, which included sophomores.
Naturally, the 3rd graders believed in Santoreo and Nia.
“hey!! I really bet all my pocket money this month! Santoreo! show me!”
“Let’s believe in the power of reversal! we can do it! Show the sophomore rebellion!”
“Show me who is the top of the grade!”
From their point of view, it was a really small amount of money.
some gold.
dozens of gold.
The sight of those risking their lives for pennies was quite pure.
Yes, stained with pure madness, he screamed loudly.
Think about it.
In terms of academics, one year is quite a big difference.
Didn’t it happen to a level that makes a big difference in one year of exercise?
Even among those with similar talents, the period was more important.
however-.
“Why are the sophomores winning, and why are they losing their pulse against Caesar?”
“Manus! Manus! Manus! Manus!”
Things started to take a strange turn.
Elena bound the wizard and guardian with an extraordinary move, and Manus dealt with the warrior alone and kept the other two in check.
Santoreo also showed the potential not to be pushed back against the two, but was cornered by the joining of Elena, who soon retired Catarina and Nia.
10 minutes like that.
Professor Kai’Sa, who was watching the clock, called out to stop the game.
“stop-! The match ends here!”
“Whoa-.”
“Ah! It’s really unfair!”
Nia, who was summoned out of the stadium when the safety device ran out of mana, expressed her regret.
The match went by decision.
The losing side gets 100 victory points.
The winner gets 300 points.
After competing five times like that, I was selected for the tier appropriate for each score.
After that, if you lose -100 points. It was a way to get 300 points for a win.
Professor Kaisa looked at Manus and said.
“Professor Jennifer had a reason for being so enthusiastic. Very well done.”
“thank you.”
“The winning group is Group D. You know that individual evaluations are reflected separately, right? It is a factor that is considered for class assignment for the second semester, so please refer to it.”
Santoreo sighed in despair.
Sorcerer and Guardian.
It was the role of a warrior to subdue them.
However, I couldn’t control it even against the 2nd graders-.
He gripped the handle of his long sword.
Something was bubbling in his heart, but he brushed it off with a single sigh.
“It was pretty. If it was a head-to-head fight, I would have won.”
“I admit it.”
Manus nodded neatly.
If we had fought head-on, in all likelihood, we would have lost without using any force.
Surprisingly, Aiden played a big role in being able to fight while raising the stakes.
To block the sword, the shield had to be raised, and the shield was connected to the body.
Aiden, who had received Santoreo’s terrifying sword dozens of times, was already stricken.
“I’m going to suffer from muscle pain tomorrow-“
“Thanks.”
Manus smiled lightly.
So, the first game is over.
It was a perfect victory of reverse dividend.
#2
After class, Professor Kaisa called Manus aside.
How far will his power go?
Have you decided on a career path?
Apart from the schedule already set, do you have any plans to do anything else?
Caesar’s pride was very high.
Even professors are just wizards who must tremble in front of their family when they go out into society.
This was especially true for those who went from commoners to honorary nobles at once like Kaisa.
Unreasonable?
Yes, the original world was the law to return to the principle of irrational power.
“I don’t know what you do during vacation, but-”
vacation.
A short period from the end of June to the end of August.
It was still before the midterm exam, but time was fleetingly fast.
Professor Kai’Sa desperately needed Manus.
In addition, I really wanted to study Cale’s mysterious magic.
smart-.
A knock was heard.
After hiding her excitement, she cleared her throat with a big, clearing of her throat.
His name is a professor, so he should be greeted resolutely.
At the very least, I didn’t want to hear that I was losing my dignity.
“This is Manus.”
“Come in.”
Her lab had the feel of a library.
The smell of wood and paper, musty and addictive, wafted through the lab door.
A scene that shows how crazy Professor Kai’Sa is and how passionate she is about magical research.
I heard that a room is like a person’s heart.
So I was constantly asked by my mother to make the bed, tidy up, and clean the room.
Looking around the room, which was a little messy, but more friendly, Manus greeted Professor Kai’Sa.
“I heard you called.”
“I don’t know if I was wasting my time or not.”
“it’s okay. There was no next class.”
“Well, there is no need to attend unnecessary lectures. You know I’m not being sarcastic, right?”
Professor Kai’Sa winked lightly, and Manus only nodded once.
Surprisingly, she was not good at tea ceremony, so she used instant food.
Surprisingly, frozen food existed in this world as well.
let alone ice.
Professor Kai’Sa rattled in front of her magic locker, a.k.a. refrigerator, and served her a fruit juice with ice cubes on it.
It looked exactly like the one sold at the convenience store inside the academy.
“It’s a bit embarrassing. I have nothing but treats like this.”
“Thank you, I will drink.”
“Huh, you’re nicer than I heard. They say he’s a tyrant.”
Manus had no answer.
I just took a sip of the sweet juice.
Professor Kai’Sa understood Manus’ psychology by guessing.
This guy’s mouth is straight,
Now she was in a position to seek help.
There’s no need to bother you for nothing.
After she hmmm, refreshed the atmosphere, she opened her mouth again.
“Could you pretend I didn’t hear that? Because I’m so free-spirited… … . Do you have any plans for vacation?”
“Nothing yet except to go to the Berkeleys.”
“To the Berkeley family? hmm… … You don’t know when to go?”
“yes.”
Hmm-.
Professor Kaisa rested her chin on her chin and thought for a moment.
Visits by nobles to other families were regarded as a rather serious matter.
Even if it was just a schedule to play, there were a lot of cases where I stayed for quite a while.
It’s considered rude if you don’t go and enjoy all the things we’ve prepared.
By the way, I know that the Berkeley family and the Caesar family didn’t get along quite well-.
Professor Kaisa swallowed his curiosity and brought out the main topic.
“This summer vacation, an academic conference will be held at the Central Mage Tower. Won’t you come with me?”
“If it’s an academic conference-“
“It’s a place where mage towers from various families gather and discuss. The subject of this study is ‘installation magic’ and ‘composition of magic’.”
Manus’ eyes lit up.
I’ve heard of it.
It’s a very brief moment in the game, but that’s what the chairman mentioned.
As a result, nothing was learned from the academic conference.
The main character thoroughly hid the ‘Cadenza’, and only used magic synthesis when climbing the Ziggurat.
But what about now?
‘Keil is going to have a hard time.’
Magicians’ curiosity and desire for research are beyond imagination.
Some wizards who are crazy about research even touch black magic and immortality.
If you don’t develop strength and insight, you’ll have a hard time.
Even now at Mythos Academy, she will be targeted by one or another.
Whether that’s a good direction or not.
It’s an academic conference-.
‘It’s a good opportunity.’
Manus, who knows all magical theories simply by looking at them.
At academic conferences, you will be able to taste various opinions and knowledge of people living in this era, in addition to what is published in books.
A desire bloomed from the depths of my heart.
If you go there, how strong will you become?
Manus calmed his excitement to jump out and nodded his head coolly.
That figure is very elegant, thought Kaisa.
“Is your advisor Professor Kaisa?”
“Me and Professor Trail. Student president of each grade.”
“I will participate.”
A big smile crept across Kai’sa’s lips.
nice
You’ll hear something from Professor Jennifer, but what about it?
Anyway, the decision was made by Manus, so I can’t harm her severely.
In addition, Professor Kaisa handed over the thesis he was writing to Manus.
she remembered
At the end of last month, I remembered that Manus had created a magic.
“This is a thesis on installation magic. Please read it.”
“yes.”
“Don’t show it to other students. got it? It’s a secret, especially to my teaching assistant.”
“All right.”
Showing the thesis first in the wizarding world was like sharing one’s knowledge.
Professor-level wizards used to even have disputes over the thesis.
It is not uncommon to find them fighting each other to become disciples.
Manus received the thesis before Professor Kaisa’s assistant.
It was in line with the meaning of valuing Manus’ knowledge higher than his assistant’s.
What kind of expression would the assistant make if he knew?
Manus only wished the assistant’s well-being in his heart.
“I will read it and come back.”
“okay. Goodbye.”
“You drank the juice well.”
Manus put the thesis in the subspace and left the professor’s office.
What he saw was a teaching assistant staring blankly out the window in front of the professor’s office.
At the sound of the door, he turned towards Manus and strode closer.
“Are you a Manus student? Could you tell me what the professor and I were talking about?”
“He asked me if I would like to go to the academic conference with him.”
“ah… … okay?”
Manus nodded slightly and turned around.
The assistant looked at him for a long time and then turned his head.
Those eyes felt empty somehow.
“Ha really-.”
Empty eyes scanned the whole view of the huge academy.
The assistant was not an idiot.
the name Caesar.
And the duel that took place today.
There were so many other shocking things.
Caesar.
In front of that great name, he seemed infinitely humbled.
I remembered the time when the normally dry professor’s eyes were shining brightly.
If those eyes were towards you.
If that smile was directed at you.
I would have been happier.
I could have found the reason for living.
“Caesar… … .”
The name is so high that it seems impossible to even climb it.
Take-.
Then, I turned my head at the sudden sound.
I saw a small mouse sticking its head out through a very small gap.
The building of the academy was a structure that could never be demolished by normal methods.
However, that little rat penetrated the solid wall and damaged the building unobtrusively.
The assistant stared at it for a long time.
The hole the little mouse came in and out of was wide, deep and dark.
