Episode 157 – Too many meaningless things once revealed
#One
next day.
Manus woke up early in the morning.
It was the day of the disciplinary committee, but his routine did not change.
A morning greeted by rigorous training every weekend and absorbing mana through meditation.
I felt it through several incidents.
He may be strong in the Academy right now, but he’s really insignificant in the world.
That’s why I was desperately feeling that I should spend my time preciously.
I put on my sweatpants and breathed in the fresh air.
“The timer is running fine… … .”
Since it was a skill that took many years, the timer still passed slowly.
If you finish this job well, you can get three skills at once.
Now you have to make good choices.
How far will this story go, and when will it end?
How will the world line change again, and what actions will the villains take?
Not all answers could be given accurately.
“Hoo-wook!”
My body moved on its own, and my thoughts continued.
There is nothing like distracting thoughts to forget the pain of the body.
Now I have to run pretty fast to get out of breath.
The strength of the skill might be there, but the body was also gradually getting harder.
6 classes.
What skills should I learn in order to grasp the endless line of mana?
I forcibly grabbed the edge of knowledge, but what can I say about the discomfort when using the skill… … It was hard to explain in words.
‘It seemed like the system was using magic, not me.’
The body moves on its own, and the feeling of mana draining out by itself.
It was an experience I did not want to do again to see my body, which was out of control, use magic on its own.
I wanted to reach the 6th class with my own strength.
only two months now.
There will be plenty of time ahead, but I couldn’t help but feel impatient.
The twilight lifted and dawn began to dawn.
“Huuu-.”
Manus, who moved his body to the fullest, wiped the sweat with his hand.
Now you can wash up and attend the disciplinary committee.
I was just about to move when I heard a familiar voice.
“For someone like you to be Black Rum, that’s outrageous.”
“hello.”
“It’s still there. Have you had any achievements?”
“It is still in place.”
Matu has yet to get out of the basic level.
If you practice intensively, you will be able to become strong in earnest, but there is too much work to do.
Manus’ main force is elemental magic.
He had to use Cadenza, which was created by combining two or more magics.
Professor Jennifer smiled bitterly when she noticed the personnel running round and round the training ground in the morning.
“I think we can move on to the next step now… … How are you?”
“I am good.”
“Did you find the evidence?”
“You will come in on your own. I won’t have to step out.”
relaxed.
It wasn’t because he was a child of a great family, but the person himself seemed solid.
A shape that has a corner to believe in or something that can claim innocence.
Professor Jennifer looked at Manus for a moment, then turned away indifferently.
“You seem to be worrying for nothing. Eh-.”
“Professor, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Don’t tell the world that my eyesight is wrong.”
Manus answered briefly and moved on.
Even though he looked blunt, he seemed to be paying close attention.
For some reason, a warm feeling welled up.
black rum.
It was a pretty serious story, and there were often actual crimes involved.
A drug often used by aristocrats who feel that they lack talent.
Even in dungeons, it is sometimes used as a powerful doping agent.
“Should I stop by Melanie?”
If you’re an assistant at Chesthip, you’ll know how to save it yourself.
But why?
I kept thinking of Libby.
She had a history of using drugs to force her to fall asleep to trap Melanie.
Did her parents support her for being crazy?
There was a strong possibility that he had found out on his own through some route.
If you’re curious, you should go find it.
Caesar’s mindset said so.
‘You’ll know that when you go.’
If Melanie was there, she would probably take care of it.
Because the Harry family is such people.
Now, Melanie’s head must have started calculating the profit and loss of the club itself.
Because there will be faith that the place where you are in will give you a huge benefit.
After thinking about it, I arrived at the dormitory.
I finished my preparations in my thoughts.
He neatly changed his uniform and removed the dust with magic.
“Princess Manus. This is Aden.”
“Go out.”
Looks like the preparations are over there.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Aden standing there with a calm look.
There was a little guilt in her eyes, and the joy of being helpful.
Manus could see the look in her eyes and sense those emotions, albeit faintly.
So I asked.
“Was it as expected?”
“… … yes. It even erased my memory.”
“You dug my grave.”
Aden nodded.
The two walked side by side and remained silent.
Because Manus had things to think about in his own way, and Aden had things to think about in his own way.
He also kept quiet on the level of consideration.
Aden was a character called an assassin with a lot of affection.
In the original story, she suffered countless despair and eventually met a miserable end.
It will be the same this time too.
Maid was a colleague who worked together for a long time.
‘hmm… … What should I do?’
It’s good to be for yourself, but if you’re too stressed out because of it, you want to stop it.
After all, the prosecutor will come out anyway, and the notary public will come.
Manus pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.
“You don’t have to push yourself too hard for me.”
“… … yes. But, I promised to protect you.”
“You don’t have to put this into a category. It’s nothing.”
Arden smiled and shook his head.
Who called this man a tyrant?
A laugh that bloomed from consideration, completely different from before, as if even the soul had been changed.
“It’s a big deal, at least for me. Please do not deny the meaning of my life.”
“… … If you say so.”
I had no intention of stopping her will.
You should let it do that if you want.
Emotions that come from the depths of the heart.
It was something that even Manus could not control.
he just suggests
All decisions will be yours to make.
“I consider it. The professors should have already arrived and finished the preparations.”
“Who is the notary public?”
“well. It says it hasn’t arrived yet. I’m not sure who it is.”
Manus nodded lightly and knocked on the door.
There was a soft, light sound, and on the contrary, a heavy voice was heard.
“Come on in.”
Professor Trail.
A character with the same feelings as the other side.
Thanks to that, he was also a person who clashed quite a bit with the main character’s group, especially the chairman.
I remembered that the chairman was described as being uncomfortable with Professor Trail, who was shouting for justice at every step.
After becoming a sophomore, bumping into each other at their first official event.
I wondered what position the two would each express.
Kik-.
As I opened the door, a solemn atmosphere unfolded.
“Manus student. Please have a seat.”
“I will start the disciplinary committee from now on.”
The disciplinary committee began as the professors organized the documents they had prepared.
The four student council presidents were watching the progress with calm faces.
Alano, Anais, and Nia.
The three of them’s expressions were stiff, but their eyes were worried about Manus.
“This is it.”
A bottle of black rum.
Various evidences from Manus’ dormitory.
They are all on the shelf.
The professors’ eyes shone with various emotions.
Disappointment, anticipation of an unexpected twist, or curiosity.
“Student Manus, do you admit to using black rum?”
“I didn’t use it.”
“Hmm… … Despite all this clear evidence?”
Manus nodded lightly.
Professor Trail frowned and stood up.
In order to clearly reveal the truth, the power of magic will be needed.
A notary public was needed in such a position.
It was an unspoken rule that the family should take responsibility for what happened in the family.
The academy’s method of punishment was to reveal the truth and blush directly from the family.
There must be a family crest that covers it.
However, the gaze they receive from society will never be good.
“I will summon a notary public.”
“They say they just arrived.”
“Maid.”
Aden nodded and opened the door.
A familiar aura from far away.
It was the scent of mana that Manus was familiar with.
Invidia.
The most recent graduate of the Caesar family.
If she had been the student president for all four years, she would have participated in the disciplinary committee quite a bit.
A soft smile crept across Manus’ lips.
“Professors, long time no see.”
“… … Invidea, you are coming.”
“hehehe, the best student in the academy came as a notary… … .”
Professor Shandler smiled faintly.
Invidea took off her academy’s uniform and put on Caesar’s uniform.
The appearance impressed the professors deeply.
Imposing and beautiful, Invidea possesses such powerful mana that it deserves the title of the best.
Much more than the current Manus.
She glanced at Manus himself and opened his mouth.
“Who has my brother hurt? Or did someone dare to challenge Caesar?”
“Currently, there is no way to prove Manus’ innocence. So Manus is the only suspect.”
Invidea nodded.
As per procedure, now Manus will have to accept the magic that speaks only the truth.
The subject of magic is Invidea.
Magic never lies.
That’s why I believed that it was impossible to cover up the criminal act.
Invidea looked at Manus and smiled.
“Are you proud?”
“Say it for granted.”
Manus smiled and nodded.
The sister’s magic showed itself.
The magic circle bloomed splendidly and began to interfere with Manus.
A feeling of consciousness being twisted.
A very unpleasant sensation tormented him.
Right before her magic was completed, the door to the conference room where the disciplinary committee was held was violently opened.
“Hey, wait a minute-!”
“hmm? This is a space where no strangers can enter. Please leave now.”
“I have a relationship! I-I am the one who put that black rum in Gongja-nim’s room!”
“… … .”
The mood has changed.
Siren.
She broke into the chairman of the disciplinary committee.
Breathing heavily, the maid burst into the venue with a trembling gesture.
Siren’s eyes were desperate and looked desperate.
Manus glanced at Aden.
What the hell do you do to a child like that?
Aden, who received his gaze, just smiled lightly.
“Are you sure about that, swear?”
“Yes, everything, of course! I know the person who ordered it. I can reveal all the truth!”
Reversing the mood was very simple.
Invidea opened her mouth while maintaining her magic.
He must have been intimidated somewhere, but in such an unstable state of mind, he should be able to dig out the truth.
“Good. You can use this magic on that maid as it is, right?”
Her magic circle headed towards Shiren.
Now it was time to find the real culprit.
