Episode 160 – The Whereabouts of the Disappeared
#One
Everyone makes choices in life.
People repeat their choices, hoping that the results of their choices will go in a direction that is beneficial to them.
However, the result of that choice may not always be beneficial.
It may be natural for people to grow through trial and error.
Some say to listen carefully to what adults say.
While telling them to believe that even if they are too rigid and naive, they must have gone through a lot of experience and a lot of trial and error.
Does anyone know who said that?
In fact, adults with a lot of experience also regret and suffer a lot.
That they, too, are still going through trial and error.
“ha… … .”
“Don’t beat yourself up too much. It’s because I’m presumptuous.”
“Still, I had to use a minimum safety device.”
Professor Trail was deeply regretting what had happened today.
As expected, Professor Jennifer’s words that criminals should be immediately caught and summarily judged echoed around.
If he did that, Professor Trevor wouldn’t get hurt, Assistant Chesthip would run away, and Professor Kai’Sa wouldn’t blame himself for doubting his own eyes.
Professor Trail bowed again to Professor Trevor, who was still in shock.
All he could do now was to cast healing magic on him and apologize.
said Professor Trevor, looking at him as he blamed himself.
“I’m really fine. Rather, I am sorry for causing trouble. Because it was the cause of the trouble for me to step out for nothing.”
“I will definitely catch Assistant Chesthip and hold him accountable.”
“Yes, please.”
Professor Trail stood up.
He wasn’t shameless enough to hang on to someone who was sick.
As he left, Professor Trevor went back to bed.
Had I been a little calmer, I could have succeeded.
He let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
I still felt the tingling sensation of the wound.

Manus moved to the club room at the call of the chairman.
It must be because he wants to inform the club members of the results in advance and convey the story about Chesthip Assistant.
All the people were already gathered in the club room.
The eyes filled with emotions of half worry and half anticipation shone brightly.
When Manus opened the door and entered, the party rushed at them.
It was a very violent reaction, like puppies seeing their owners who had gone far away.
“senior!”
“What a relief. So, what happened to Assistant Chesthip?”
“The president will be coming soon. Listen to it then.”
There’s no need to explain why it hurts.
Manus started drinking a cup of warm tea before sitting down in one of the reserved seats.
It just came to my mind, how about introducing them to my sister?
Considering that he met Manus himself when he was young, wouldn’t Alano know?
It seems like we exchanged eye greetings for a while before.
I wondered if the two of them had a friendship beyond themselves.
“Still, seeing that you came back intact like this, did you think things went well?”
“Yeah, I think so.”
“Well, that was nonsense, but who would believe it?”
“So, who was the culprit?”
Hearing the chatter behind him, he secretly smiled.
Children who worry unselfishly and think of each other.
It was worth living here, given the genuine, benevolent concern.
Now that the problem has been solved, it’s time to attack the garden.
The scent of fragrant and sour herbs came up.
When I took a sip, the unique fragrance of this world lingered in my mouth.
‘Did you say it’s a tea that calms the mind?’
Text read occasionally in the game.
When I actually drank it, I felt that the circulation of mana was very slightly accelerated.
When I brought the car, the door opened just right.
Arden and the chairman of Nix opened the door and came in.
It was a face full of pensiveness, but it was clear that he was trying hard not to show it.
Perhaps he deliberately hid his expression in front of the children.
‘If you become the chairman, you might be able to manage your expression, but is it because it’s a world inside a game?’
I greeted the chairman with useless thoughts.
Director Nix smiled brightly and handed over an apology.
“I’m sorry for making you gather over the weekend, everyone. Let’s start with the most important one. All charges against the student Manus have been cleared.”
“and! also! I believed you, senior! Keuuu, as expected, the Great House of Caesar could not have used such a low method!”
“I’m so glad.”
“With this, all of that monstrous skill will be acknowledged. It is a good example.”
Pearson, Melanie, and Guillermo each gave a helping hand.
The rest said “It went well” and “I’m glad” with bright faces.
Manus nodded lightly, and the chairman continued.
What really matters is from now on.
“It turned out that Assistant Chesthip was behind it. He must have had a bright and pure personality, but I don’t know why he did that… … .”
“As for Chesthip Assistant… … I have heard of it.”
“For sure… … Were you in sync with Invidea?”
Nia raised her hand and said.
Invidea and Chesthip.
It was the first time I knew that the two were in sync.
Could it be that’s why he said his sister was staying here?
I suddenly became curious.
What were her school days like?
And, was he acquainted with Assistant Chesthip?
“His whereabouts are unknown now. There’s no way an assistant-level mage could have run away from the academy so quickly.”
“… … Is that so?”
“It’s very unlikely, but it could have entered an erosion zone.”
Guillermo asked, furrowing his brow.
“You’re saying he’s the chosen one?”
“I don’t know anything yet. There’s a chance it might be outside. In the worst case, he could have made a contract with the demon as well.”
“This is serious.”
The chairman nodded with a sigh.
If it’s outside, it might be a better thing.
There were many capable people in this world, and Chesthip was a teaching assistant.
No matter how good he is, he will not be able to deal with the strong men who rule the Lux continent.
But what if, by any chance, he went to the erosion zone?
The only people who can solve the situation are those gathered here.
“Of course, the odds of surviving there are very low. but… … .”
“There is a way to find out.”
In a frustrating situation, it was Alano who suggested a solution.
She thought of Trace’s existence and roughly explained it to the chairman.
He was able to move more actively than anyone else in the erosion zone.
“A person like that… … No, can we call that boy a man?”
“The Trace we went through was a clear man.”
The chairman nodded.
If they are, you can trust them.
If that’s the case, you’ll have to entrust the operation to them this time too.
He bowed his head and asked.
The only thing I can trust right now is these young friends.
“Please, please, please. I know it’s dangerous, but leaving him alone could lead to a bigger disaster… … .”
“Do not worry. I will investigate.”
“Okay, let me know if you need anything.”
As always, the chairman declared that he would not spare any support.
All of them are nobles, so they don’t need any support, but Cale will be different.
I knew she sometimes took care of outside business.
All entry and exit ledgers are designed to be reported to the chairman.
You will have to run around the battlefield with a small body and continue the struggle for survival.
So, the chairman spoke again.
“Keil students, please don’t be burdened and tell me. Got it?”
“Ah yes-. All right. I will tell you.”
Even so, Cale planned to prepare a lot by taking advantage of being able to enter that special room.
Finally, the battle with the watchman was right in front of us.
If you get the support of the chairman, you will be able to prepare various things for your colleagues.
Thinking that far, Cale resolved to make a lot of items for his friends this time.
I remembered what Manus had said.
I told you not to hesitate to use the item.
Climbing the tower is survival, not training.
‘good-.’
If it is the chairman who can manage the entire academy, it will definitely help.
What to do has been decided.
Everyone was determined to fight.
Again, I had a reason to head to the Ziggurat.
#3
Invidea suffered from nightmares lately.
Because of the repetitive dreams she kept having, she couldn’t sleep.
Could it be a curse, even if I use magic to get a good night’s sleep?
Things that popped into her head kept confusing her identity.
For her, her family was a strong fence and shelter.
A place where I could communicate with people smoothly and develop my skills.
A place that planted the awareness that family is a precious being and we have to go through it together.
“ah… … .”
＜I will compete among the three siblings.＞
＜What about ■■■?＞
＜Was there such a child?＞
The contents of the dream came vaguely to mind.
Why she is doing this these days, a situation that even she doesn’t understand.
The vaguely visible characters must be his own family.
But why is one person invisible?
Invidea erased the uncomfortable feeling and stood up from her seat.
The family head, Laves, saw her off and commanded.
‘Did I ask my brother to help me solve the case?’
At the same time, Caesar’s honor and pride were also set up in the academy, and he heard the story of coming.
What did honor mean here?
Did the head of the household know that the incident would happen?
I heard about abnormal phenomena happening at the academy through my mother.
It might be to reveal the anomaly and prove Caesar’s abilities.
Anyway, the incident happened and the old motive became a criminal.
“Still, he was quite usable.”
Class A.
To think that a classmate who competed with him became a criminal.
That too, blinded by jealousy-.
She moved to find her brother.
At the end of the search, she went to a club she was familiar with.
I felt a familiar energy in the club room at the far end.
Manus must be there.
‘What kind of kids would my younger brother hang out with?’
I was curious.
What kind of aristocrats does the younger brother hang out with, and what kind of exchange activities he is engaged in.
I raised my hand in front of the door with a trembling heart.
smart-.
A knocking sound resounding with a clear sound.
The door opened and a familiar face appeared.
Did you say Aden?
“Oh my gosh, Princess. welcome.”
“I came to see my brother for a while, isn’t it okay?”
“of course. Please come in.”
Invidea came to the club room.
At the same time, everyone except the chairman stood up.
Brilliantly blossoming beauty, that overwhelming mana.
The awe-inspiring presence in every aspect filled the club room.
“nice to see you. My name is Harrison Allano.”
“Nice to meet you, Lady Harrison.”
The gap started when the two met.
