Episode 181 – Let’s Attract the Emperor’s Eyes
#One
Cale gulped and swallowed.
There are monsters this powerful even outside the tower.
Perhaps, the inside of the tower might be the stage where it is easier to fight.
Golem.
It was the first time I had encountered a creature with high magic resistance.
No, I’ve met you once before.
I’ll definitely have to use the cadenza here.
Her interest these days was to learn various magics and increase the recipe for cadenza.
“Kale, leave this place to us.”
“you’re right. Even with assistance, I can deal with the golem.”
D’Arin and a warrior friend said confidently.
So far, the main striker of the party has been Cale.
The other two played a bigger role in supporting her.
It was a little different this time.
Golems were difficult for wizards to play an active part in.
Still, Cale shook his head.
“are you okay. Let’s do what we do.”
“You don’t have to push yourself. You can trust me for once.”
“Of course I believe. Still, you have to do what you do.”
she said with a smile.
Even if the situation has changed, the work she has to do will not change.
As usual.
If you pour powerful magic like you always do, the golem will fall.
So, just move on as always.
To create new magic and fire it at enemies.
What she has to do hasn’t changed.
“Senior Manus will do the same. I will do the same.”
“You seem to like it quite a bit. Senior Manus.”
“He is a model for wizards. I can understand.”
Grady nodded.
Cale’s order was first.
Others will be able to strategize by looking at their assessments.
So what?
Cale always climbed the tower and found out everything with his naked body.
Even enemy patterns, attributes, and weaknesses.
Nothing was very different this time.
“Let’s go.”
At Cale’s confident expression, D’Arin and the fellow members of the Eagle class nodded.
Manus, who watched it from afar, smiled.
Now, he is gradually developing the image of a real leader.
Since you are gradually changing into the look you want, you have no choice but to be extremely satisfied.
[From 3rd grade group A to E, please go up on stage.]
“Manus, can you?”
“of course.”
“Then, let’s go as usual.”
Aiden took a new shield and went up on stage.
Elena took on the role of targeting the enemy’s weakness and timing Manus’ attack.
The golem was clearly a weapon with a weakness.
In particular, the joint area was a fatal weakness that still needed to be supplemented.
As I stepped onto the stage, I could feel the eyes on me.
The gaze of people from all over the world, including the emperor.
Manus frowned at the feeling that was much stronger and sticky than when the students were looking at it.
‘If you want it that way, you’ll have to show it.’
In the past, I would not have been able to overcome the pressure and show my skills.
But now he was full of confidence.
A golem, a giant shining with blue light, stood in front.
“Is everyone ready?”
“yes.”
The supervisor asked, ready to intervene at any moment.
Those in formation nodded their heads.
Whoop-!
The test began with the golem moving one step.
At the same time, Manus’ eyes were also shimmering with thick mana.
#2
“your majesty. Long time no see.”
“Okay, Nix. How have you been?”
“Nothing. I’m just sitting at my desk, is there anything special?”
The emperor and the chairman sat side by side in a clear view of the stadium and watched the students.
Manus’s match had just begun.
How to break down the golem’s solid barrier.
This was also one of the questions the emperor threw.
“I did as you commanded, but few will pass.”
“It’s okay. Even in failure, there will surely be those who shine.”
“Your Majesty’s will is always looking ahead by several moves.”
“When you run a country, there are a lot of things to take care of.”
The emperor smiled.
It probably wasn’t just because of the president’s praise.
Kwaaang-!
A loud sound echoed through the arena.
Manus.
His magic hit the crystal golem directly.
The sight that the thick smoke cleared and was revealed was quite surprising.
The golem was fine, but it was because the mana barrier surrounding the golem was gone.
‘Hmm, sure… … .’
The emperor looked at the game with shining eyes.
Not only that, but others will also notice Manus’ magic.
Those who could see the flow of mana even a little would have noticed the change in the golem.
It was a phenomenon that even the emperor had never seen before.
‘It’s a magic that cuts down barriers. This will be a big topic at this academic conference.’
He also knew that an academic conference would be held two months later.
Since it was one of the largest magic events on the continent, many wizards working in the imperial palace used to participate.
Emperor Bradley was also tempted to participate, but his busy schedule wouldn’t let him go.
It was a very disappointing schedule.
There must be many shining people there as well.
If even one person could recognize the strong one, it was worth throwing everything away and participating.
In July, if there were no very important events in the imperial palace… … .
“How are Manus students usually?”
“He is the best wizard. He is doing much better than his sister, Invidea.”
“There must be only good things for Caesar.”
The chairman nodded.
Manus was an invaluable force.
All the children who climbed the tower were relying on him.
The chairman swallowed his thoughts and continued.
Come to think of it, Caesar had a territory war a while ago.
The report must have gone up to the emperor as well.
I wondered what he was thinking.
“Since you’ve been through a lot, you must have grown even more.”
“Caesar must become a stronger pillar.”
“There will be no one who will go against Your Majesty’s wishes.”
The conversation was stopped by Bradley’s small nod.
The chairman read the emperor’s intentions.
stiffer poles.
That would mean that the emperor would support Caesar in earnest.
What is the reason?
I didn’t even know the answer was there.
Manus.
The brilliantly blooming talent must have stimulated something in the emperor.
‘Emperor Bradley. I heard that there is a lot of greed for talent, but was it this much?’
Caesar is one of the pillars of the empire.
The emperor has consolidated the power of the empire by strengthening the nobility, not by keeping them in check.
Harrison was like that, and so were other families.
This time, it must be Caesar’s turn.
It has to be good for the academy.
As Caesar’s position becomes more solid, an environment will be created for Manus to grow up.
Kwaaang-!
This time the sound came from the other side.
“Who is that child?”
The emperor turned his head and pointed at the woman with flowing blue hair.
Kale.
It is no exaggeration to say that he inherited Manus’ talent.
Only slightly different in personality, she had many similarities with Manus.
“My name is Kale. I am a commoner.”
“Right. To think that a first year student could use magic like that. Interesting.”
Fluff-.
The sound of drinking tea was especially loud.
Destructive power so great that it made the hard golem take a step back.
The emperor’s eyes shone.
“Being a commoner… … .”
Maybe, I thought that the child would be able to get a castle soon.
nobleman’s castle.
An honorable symbol that can fulfill one’s family.
An era where only those who can protect the world can have a ‘castle’.
As if Cale was imprinted in the emperor’s eyes, he spread his magic.
oh oh oh-!
Shouts echoed throughout the arena.
A cloud of dust rose, and I saw the overseer with a bewildered face.
“As expected, Caesar shines.”
“Crystal golems aren’t supposed to be destroyed that easily.”
“yes. see others Bondi jewels shine even more when they are between stones. Manus is someone who knows how to shine on his own.”
I look forward to more in the future.
The emperor smiled quietly and looked at Manus.
What he did should make all the wizards gathered here tremble in tension.
hour?
To him, the time others ran first must seem slow and boring.
The emperor did it, and other geniuses did it.
He slowly rose from his seat.
divinity.
He willingly lifted his heavy hips and stood up to clearly see the new star shining brightly.
#3
Kurrr-.
The heavy golem collapsed.
Manus picked his breath, and Solly got the attention.
[Yugosus] He showed people magic for the first time.
The evolutionary magic of [Altus].
The birth of strengthening magic at the 4th class level, not the 2nd class level.
Everyone was shocked.
I had never heard or seen such magic.
“Is it so weak that it was made for students?”
“Oh, that can’t be… … . Anyway, how much does it cost?”
“hahahaha… … Then why not more?”
monster.
If it was a true crystal golem, the value of Manus would rise even more vertically.
It was the crystal golem that even wizards trained in combat had trouble with.
The violently fluctuating mana still remained.
It was only two spells.
The time it took for the hard crystal golem to collapse was also less than 5 minutes.
The overseer stared blankly at the golem.
“Are you done?”
Manus asked while saving Mana.
The supervisor suddenly came to his senses and slowly nodded his head.
“3rd grade group D, evaluation is over!”
aaa-!
Huge cheers shook the arena once again.
The person who created the golem, those who watched it, and even the comrades who fought together stared blankly at Manus.
“Is this for real?”
“My, what did I say? Didn’t you say that our Manus would do well?”
“Who is our Manus? anyway… … I had a hard time this time too.”
Manus nodded with a gentle smile.
Turning and descending, he left only one word.
“It was nothing.”
No one knew that those short words would leave such a deep impression.
Manus left a deep afterglow.
He came off the stage and turned his head to look at Cale.
I saw her carrying the same burden at the same time.
Everyone else looked at Manus, but those on stage had no time to look at him.
Now that we have to deal with the immediate threat, we can’t let our concentration be distracted.
‘You’re doing well.’
Cale knew how to attack Golems well.
Even if magic resistance is high, it is not infinite.
Golem resistance.
The core was in the magic core.
“good! Keep attacking!”
“I think I can eat a big one now!”
Did you say Grady?
Obviously, it was a family of mercenaries close to the Floys family.
And later, he is also a colleague who joins as a guardian.
It wouldn’t be bad to keep the sum in line from now on.
‘Is the senior doing well?’
I remembered Nia, who looked anxious.
Group D and Group B are nearby, so you should be able to find them quickly.
Turning my head, I saw a rather interesting situation.
Manus unknowingly sighed and laughed.
