171 – Those with Twisted Memories
#One
The academy is now in full-scale midterm preparation period.
Manus played the league today with Elena and Aiden.
The result is a clean win.
Manus, who had learned three additional skills, was now clearly beyond the level of a third year.
Professor Kai’Sa looked at Manus’ game with emotionless eyes.
She didn’t have an assistant yet, so now was the time to pick one.
I remembered the faces of the other professors who were already urging her on, and annoyance welled up in an instant.
I felt like I was forgetting something, but what… … It didn’t seem like anything particularly important.
“You fight well.”
transmission.
It was Aiden and Elena’s league results.
Without Manus, would those children have been able to achieve the miracle of succession?
The more I looked at him, the more I coveted him.
I’m still in my sophomore year, but… … Can I grow it a little earlier?
Professor Kai’Sa’s own knowledge was magic of a rather peculiar nature.
A type of magic that occupies space and benefits allies.
A field of magic where research has just begun.
It was true that he needed a disciple who would study with him and build knowledge.
‘That’s why I can’t just grab hold of anyone and pass on the knowledge.’
The bored expression was hardening like her trademark.
She was expressionless until a few days ago, but after the Black Rum incident, she showed a lowered spirit.
Rumors circulated that it was because he was a little disappointed in the academy.
Anyway, the truth was known only to Professor Kai’Sa.
“professor. Dalian is all over.”
“uh? uh yeah Everyone disbanded. During the midterm exam, you have to stick with the teaching assistants, so practice a lot.”
“yes-!”
Professor Kai’Sa rolled her eyes and looked at Manus, who was tidying up the table.
2nd year now.
There was still a lot to learn and a lot to build up.
His time was too valuable to be tied down to an assistant’s work, so he couldn’t bear to let it go.
Okay, let’s give up on Manus and find a talented kid in the 4th grade.
As if she still had some regrets, she continued to glare at Manus.
If someone I didn’t know saw it, I would have felt like a schoolgirl spying on a guy she has a crush on.
Perhaps conscious of her gaze, Manus slowly approached the professor.
“uh? Manus student. what’s the matter?”
“I’m here to return the thesis you gave me before.”
“thesis? ah… … It was. I forgot.”
A strange conversation ensued.
Manus focused on Professor Kai’Sa’s conversation.
In the original work, this kind of conversation didn’t even come out because of the schedule that had to go up without a break.
The story proceeds with only looking upwards with ignorance.
Stories never looked around caused information breaks.
Yeah, if you think about it, it seemed like there were quite a few holes in the setup.
It was recognized as a masterpiece because of its solid combat and basic fun, but there are parts that are lacking in any game.
‘No, rather, it could be because it’s a game.’
Now that it has become a reality, you have to pay attention to various things, but it would have been better to make a game with choice and concentration.
Manus organizes his thoughts and takes out a thesis from subspace.
He spoke to the professor in a soft voice.
“The thesis was well read. I tried to annotate in my own way, I hope it helps a little bit.”
“As far as comments? thank you. Should I repay you?”
“For me, being able to share a little bit of your knowledge is a reward.”
How can you make your words so sharp?
Professor Kaisa struggled to hold down the clown trying to climb up and opened his mouth.
Is there anything I can do though?
“This is a bit premature, but… … You know, I don’t have a teaching assistant.”
“… … I know.”
“I haven’t had a student I like yet. So… … .”
Manus had a hunch that fate was flowing in a different direction.
How the world changes, how those who died in the erosion zone are erased from memory.
I was very curious about what would happen if I stimulated my memory here, but I didn’t make it big for nothing.
Now was the time to let it flow.
His strength was still insufficient to face the great fate.
Manus waited for the professor’s words.
Alright, let’s just leave it to nature for now.
“Can’t you do the research instead of the teaching assistant?”
“Are you talking about this conference? or not… … .”
“Only until we find a new assistant. I am also preparing a new thesis, and it is a time when I need to share knowledge in many ways.”
Manus pondered for a moment.
When on Earth, I was told that graduate students are slaves.
I’ve never experienced it myself, but a friend I’ve kept in touch with always grumbled in the chat room.
I felt compassion when I saw that even though I was not an office worker, living a more difficult life than an office worker.
Even on holidays like honey, he went to the lab with the professor, wrote papers, did research, and even remembered the talk he made after the professor.
Maybe that’s why I’m so scared.
At least in my previous life, I had no desire for knowledge.
To be honest, I couldn’t understand why I was risking my life to study while becoming a graduate student.
‘It’s different now.’
Now I can understand their heart.
desire for knowledge.
A greedy obsession and a desire to go higher.

Just like digging a pit at the end of a mine to dig for better minerals, his greed for magic never stopped.
Kai’Sa’s barrier magic.
It was also a study that reminded me of wizards in my family.
If you learn it, it will be useful.
Maybe there will be a magic that can be used instead of an item.
After thinking about this and that, Manus nodded.
“I won’t be able to help you much.”
“uh… … really? Are you really going to study together?”
“It’s more of a learning experience than a research one. I am not afraid of gaining new knowledge.”
“As expected, it’s like Caesar. I had a kid like you before. Its name… … I don’t remember.”
The sun seemed to have sunburned Professor Kai’Sa’s face.
Her expression reminded me of the look in her eyes when she saw her old assistant, who was no longer there.
In an instant, an unknown emotion surged up and I couldn’t meet her eyes straight.
Is it a problem that someone’s vacancy can be filled so easily?
‘someday… … Can all the memories come back?’
Can you bear it if the person you remember behaves strangely, as if your memory has been manipulated?
What kind of fate do those chosen by the tower carry?
After the Chesthip Incident, growing anxiety weighed on Manus.
Especially when I saw Professor Kaisa, who could be called the victim, I felt all the more painful.
It’s not something that happened on its own.
It’s just, what happened when one person was swept away by an inferiority complex.
However, I wanted to fill in something for Professor Kaisa, whose memories and relationships had been blown away.
It was a small sympathy, so I had nothing to say even if I cursed.
I just want to do what my heart tells me to do.
“Call me if you need work.”
“okay. Thank you. Let’s talk while preparing for class.”
“I will. then.”
“Thank you for the thesis.”
Manus lowered his head slightly and moved on.
Professor Kai’Sa also turned around and quickly walked up to the lab.
Caesar’s knowledge was superior to his own.
Even though I was 16 years old, age didn’t matter when it came to learning.
It was also the driving force that allowed her to come this far.
Anything that can be helpful is grafted on and more efficient growth is sought.
It was Professor Kai’Sa’s theory.
I couldn’t hide my pounding emotions.
“I have to go and read it.”
Not knowing what she had forgotten or what kind of life she had lived, she walked quickly with a gentle smile.
Looking forward to the upcoming academic conference.
#2
It was Professor Trail who called Manus back to the dormitory and stopped him.
Maybe I said something harsh to him the other day.
The professor’s face softened considerably.
I don’t know what made him change his mind.
However, it seemed that his self-esteem, which had lost momentum and was upright, had been lowered.
“Manus student. The chairman is looking for you.”
“Can I go now?”
“yes. And I’m sorry I doubted you last time.”
Manus shook his head as if it was really nothing.
It was a questionable situation, and anyone would have.
Wouldn’t it be a serious problem for a professor to go over without fulfilling his duties as a professor?
Manus had no feelings for him.
On the other hand, Professor Trail learned a lot from this mistake.
It was a day when he boasted of his unparalleled power at the academy.
Transmission of difficult theories. The overwhelming amount of challenges. However, the students are always full.
Everything was an indicator that made me believe that Trail’s life and direction were right.
However, a strong brake was put on his choice.
As a result, one person was injured.
It was a life-threatening injury.
therefore… … .
“I didn’t know that a maid would harm innocent Professor Trevor. Rather, I want to thank you.”
“… … No big deal. I just did what I always do.”
“Huh, it makes me feel a little more at ease when you say that. Then, go ahead.”
Even as he separated from the professor and moved on, Manus was overcome with a serious sense of alienation.
Still, if it was fortunate that people who had lost their memories would make consistent statements, it was fortunate.
As if to get rid of the awkward feeling, I walked quickly to the director’s office, and Aden politely bowed her head in front of the door.
I couldn’t tell her expression because she was wearing a mask, but she seemed to be experiencing a considerable sense of alienation.
Standing in front of her, Aden opened his mouth in a low voice.
There was sadness in Aden’s voice.
I felt a heart of mourning for the memories of those who can’t come back anymore and a heart of missing someone at the same time.
“Everyone has changed a lot. Personally, it was shocking.”
“It will happen more often in the future.”
Days when more twists and tragedies await.
If it collapses to this extent, the future will never be able to handle it.
So, you have to get your mind straight.
After patting Aden’s shoulder, Manus knocked on the door of the chairman’s office.
“Chairman. Student Manus has arrived.”
Aden, struggling to suppress his trembling, raised his voice.
As soon as I opened the door and went in, I saw the chairman looking at me with a serious expression.
After a brief greeting, Manus asked about business.
“What did you call for?”
“Here, a letter has arrived from the family. You can head to the Caesar family before midterms.”
“Is this a call from the family?”
The chairman’s face hardened.
A cloud of war also hung over Manus’s head.
