Episode 180 – I still have to praise you
#One
Nia remembered two weeks ago.
Yes, it was definitely an exciting atmosphere.
Even without Manus, they had to climb the tower.
The result is propaganda.
He vomited up the spirit of going up to the 20th floor.
The condition was good that day, and the sum was very good.
However, it soon ran into a big problem.
“Does it make sense to have three watchmen?”
“… … Is it really?”
“Yeah, that’s why I waited because I couldn’t do it without you. Because I almost died.”
Melanie, Guillermo, and Trace managed to break down the door and escape.
It is said that he was really about to be killed.
It’s not the first time I’ve failed in an attack, but this time I must have felt the wall.
Nia said so.
“So what… … First of all, I took care of my body and recuperated for two weeks.”
“Guillermo says otherwise.”
“He doesn’t have a lot to talk about.”
That’s it too.
Manus sighed.
If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can’t understand.
Ventilation would have been enough even if he didn’t step out.
Thinking of the children who would rather be intimidated, I let out a sigh.
Nia saw Manus’ expression and got a rough idea of what he was thinking.
When I see him like this, he really looks like his father.
Or maybe the older brother?
she said with a smile.
“Guys, are you working harder than you thought? Give me some encouragement when we meet later.”
“I see. Seniors suffered too.”
“What am I… … .”
Nia scratched her face, embarrassed.
Guy Guillermo, do you talk like that?
Manus felt a slight rise in hostility towards Guillermo.
As a result, the children did not disappoint Manus.
If so, I’ll have to come up with a solution again.
If you can’t handle the enemy in front of you, there’s only one reason.
It’s because I’m still not good enough.
“I will have to practice under the tower for a while.”
“That means… … .”
“It’s repetition, mastery work.”
Nia’s face turned white.
#2
Midterm exam papers have been distributed.
Since the subjects taken by the number of students were different, the test maps were distributed according to each person.
Even the problems are slightly different.
Some might say it’s not fair, but this was to prevent cheating.
Magic made it possible to do many things, and there were countless ways to cheat, such as reagents and so on.
Without compromising the difficulty of the problem, each person has to answer a different question.
The midterm exam was a very important test unlike the end of the month evaluation.
‘hmm… … Is it easy?’
But it was too easy.
Manus rested his chin on his chin and wrote down the problem.
It took me longer to write it down than I thought it would.
I couldn’t even use magic, so I couldn’t use it quickly.
Elementology, Elementalism, Matusology, Alchemy, History and Culture, Introduction to Monsterology, Applications of Magic.
It was a class that Manus was taking, and he took it with full grades.
The test papers laid out were thick enough to let him know how many classes he was taking.
‘Writing is my job.’
For the sake of the chief, this level of suffering is nothing.
Manus wrote down the knowledge he knew step by step.
When he woke up, he had plenty of time left.
I saw quite a few people writing hard.
“Here it is.”
“It was hard. It’s good to see you go out.”
“Suffer.”
Manus nodded and bowed his head.
The inspector glanced at his test paper and skimmed through it.
The answer is written in an elegant and neat handwriting.
A perfect answer without a single typo.
‘Shall I see what you wrote?’
The supervisor slowly fell into reading the answer sheet, which started as a pastime.
The sound of turning papers echoed, and before he knew it, answer sheets continued to pile up.
The students could not bear to speak to the supervising supervisor, who was so focused, and quietly gave up their exams and disappeared.
“I… … Overseer?”
“huh? ah… … . Yes, it was hard.”
“I am the last one.”
“… … huh?”
The overseer looked around with a bewildered expression.
cool testing grounds.
In a place where no one was left, I found myself left alone.
As I read the answer sheet written by Manus, the time had become like this.
I didn’t just read it, I sympathized with it and tried to interpret it in my own way.
The answer sheet he wrote was not a standard answer sheet, but a quality that could be considered a kind of thesis.
“Let’s go. You worked hard.”
“That, yes. Go ahead.”
It was a miracle that nothing happened.
A supervisor is a person who is placed in case of an unexpected situation.
He was able to commit cheating enough without using magic, so he was the one watching it.
However, he neglected management because he was busy reading the answer sheet, so he had nothing to say even if he was reprimanded.
But despite my worries, nothing seemed to have happened right away.
He sighed and shook his head.
‘By the way, it’s amazing.’
Manus’s answer sheet that he hasn’t read yet.
This, the professors will be turned upside down again?
He carefully took the test papers with the answers written on them.
Losing it would be like the magic world losing some valuable data.
“Whoa… … Shall we read it secretly?”
He still hasn’t let go of the lingering feelings.
What kind of logic did Manus use?
The Overseer’s hands and eyes began searching for Manus’ name again.
#3
After completing the written test, all students headed to the central playground.
It was a place where practical exams were taken and a place where distinguished guests could watch students perform.
The academy was a place to nurture strength and to represent the next generation’s national prestige.
It didn’t seem like it, but a place where people from various countries gathered.
It was natural to compare political stories and students’ superiority.
Today, a special person came to visit.
[Academy students will have time to show respect to the distinguished guests before taking the exam.]
The distinguished guests who have come to this place are treated by students.
The academy is operated with their sponsorship, and students were able to be educated here due to their tuition fees.
The students gathered together and bowed their heads.
Same with Manus.
‘It reminds me of when I was in school.’
It is a national gymnastics and a speech… … A school with many events like this.
It was an event that brought back memories in its own way for Manus.
After a brief ceremony, Manus raised his head.
I could feel the eyes looking at me from afar.
In addition, an overwhelming energy.
Instinctively I knew who he was.
A person who harms himself and the people around him in the name of a test.
‘If I could be alone, I’d really like to ask.’
Indeed, what is the emperor’s intention?
Why do they keep interfering with themselves like this?
Aden’s job? What about survival assessment?
Besides, what about other things?
[Interference begins.]
Manus had the emperor’s face in his eyes.
It was really far away, but I could still get a good look at what the emperor looked like.
Not a game illustration, but a real emperor.
Manus was determined to attract the emperor’s attention in this test.
To do so, you must stand out in this test.
I saw his blue eyes, the corner of the emperor’s mouth going up.
[I will start the practical test now.]
The test has begun.
You have to fight the monsters assigned to each group and have a mock battle with those who are composed of talented people.
The ‘competent person’ referred to here could have been an outsider or a professor.
Checking on how much the academy students have grown was also something the VIPs had to do.
As it is a midterm exam, the difficulty level is the highest.
The theme of this midterm exam was ‘Golem’.
The first year has to deal with an ogre-shaped golem, and the second year has to deal with a more ferocious and ferocious monster, the Iron Golem.
3rd or 4th grade?
[Year 3 and 4 have to deal with one of the top golems, the ‘Crystal Golem’. Please be fully prepared.]
“If it’s a crystal golem… … Did you coat it with magic crystals?”
“I don’t know. How much money do you need to make it?”
“Professor of alchemy must have had a hard time this time?”
Crystal Golem.
A magical weapon that always appears in siege warfare and large-scale monster subjugation.
When a monster that could not be dealt with as a human appeared, they were the ones who built it to earn time or to serve as a strong barrier.
It was connected to the wizard on a 1:1 basis, so it was also a weapon capable of fairly sophisticated movements.
Caesar also had a golem, but he didn’t take it because it was in the desert.
The golem was a really bad weapon.
“Hey Manus. Will it be difficult this time?”
“that’s right. Crystal golems have very high magic resistance.”
“You don’t have to worry.”
Members of the group approached and encouraged Manus.
Crystal Golems have excellent defense and magic resistance.
He was also the magician’s natural enemy.
But Manus smiled as if to say not to worry.
Golem.
There are a lot of things like that in the tower.
That’s why I learned [Spirit’s Whisper].
“Because my magic is a bit special.”
“Oh, are you confident?”
“I am a little anxious. Crystal Golems are not easygoing people.”
Aiden said.
Manus replied as he moved his steps.
“You will know when you see it.”
“… … well, good.”
Aiden shrugged and moved on.
They are group D.
Because the order is coming soon.
As I was walking, Nia came running in a hurry.
A crystal golem!
This was information I hadn’t even heard of.
How secret the academy kept it, and what the Avrel family couldn’t find out.
Usually, a family with excellent intelligence would find out the contents of the test.
“Manus! Oh what?!”
“For what?”
“How to break the crystal golem!”
“… … You can do it.”
Even Manus didn’t have a method.
Either use magic strong enough to pierce magic resistance, or shoot magic directly at the core.
Nia was crying.
Even the world’s Manus can’t find a solution!
“Well, but, do you have any advice?”
“You have no choice but to use your senior’s abilities to the fullest.”
“my… … ability?”
Manus pointed to Nia’s eyes.
A privilege that only she has.
Genes like the blessing of the Abrel family.
Because that will give you the answer.
“my… … You mean the eyes?”
“yes. The answer must be there.”
“Whoa… … okay. You can try it once. Anyway, thanks for the advice.”
Manus smiled and nodded.
Others will find their own answers too.
Now you really have to watch their growth.
last two months.
It was time to objectively evaluate how much I had grown.
