When I opened my eyes, my body was lying on the shiny ground. Beneath her body, a magic circle was emitting a gentle pale blue light.
A view of a cave full of ice came into view. It was an ordeal.
When you come in, you want, but when you leave, you don’t.
I need Ice and Snow Dragon’s permission to go out. The dragon had access to this space.
‘It’s gorgeous too… .’
What I saw in the game and what I saw in real life were completely different. The wide cave boasted a magnificent view that even gave the illusion of entering an ice palace.
As I looked around, I caught my eye on the gigantic arched passageway and swallowed my breath.
Beyond the passage, there was a beautiful ice ingot in a neat shape.
Inside, a white dragon was trapped as if time had stopped.
I got up from my seat and started walking towards the place where the white dragon was. It was difficult to walk because I was wearing winter clothes.
As I passed the passage, the size of the magnificent ice mass overwhelmed me.
In the ice that surrounded the cave, light blue cold mana circulated and served as a light. The light shone even more brilliantly on the white dragon’s white jade scales in the ice mass.
The light blue mana that is circulating softly even inside the ice mass. Mana seemed to flow so that the ice mass could be maintained regardless of White Dragon’s will.
The dragon is the symbol and legend of northern Gerber.
It was the 8-star Beast, Ice and Snow Dragon-Hild, who was once the workhorse of the Ice Emperor.

The two eyes of the Ice and Snow Dragon in the ice mass were opened. A sight waking up from a thousand years of long sleep.
Emerald glittering eyes turned towards me. The longitudinally torn pupils resemble those of reptiles.
[Human, have you come to be tried by the frost?]
Ice and Snow Dragon’s elegant voice reverberated in my head. It was a voice that was closer to that of an adult woman.
indeed… . The appearance of the Ice and Snow Dragon in real life was amazing. The size of a brain creed. If I trample on someone like me once, I can take my life as lightly as an insect.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references I dedicate this to silkygoat
Nervous. I exhaled softly, then nodded.
“Yes.”
[Your qualifications have been proven by coming here. I will open the door of ordeal.]
aa thanm
The huge ice door behind the Ice and Snow Dragon opened its mouth and started to emit an intense light blue light. At the end of the passageway made of light, there was a gloomy darkness.
A cold wind began to blow from inside the passage. Even though she was wrapped in winter clothes and had her element bracelet set as an ice resistance, the cold touched her skin.
From now on, I must pass through the passage where the cold wind blows.
[Let harsh fantasies devour your mind, and harsh colds devour your body. Prove your qualifications to become the master of the frostbite by overcoming all those trials.]
Wow, I haven’t heard that public comment in a long time. Aside from the tension, the memories of coming to get the final weapon during the second semester of the second semester of ＜Marchen’s Magical Knight> come to mind. Should I say that my heart is enlarged?
Anyway, now the life-threatening game begins. If I overcome the ordeal before it freezes, the frostbite is mine.
The content of the ordeal is vicious.
Things that are likely to actually happen are woven together for the purpose of consuming the mind of the person being tried.
In the game, there was a time in the past when Ian was harassed and despised. But he possesses strong mental power. Such an ordeal was at a level that could be overcome by looking at the story and killing a few mobs.
I don’t know what hardships will come to me. Will this body wander about Isaac’s past?
‘Any ordeal is no different from the past.’
I just get over it
In particular, he was confident in his mental strength. Even when possessed by this weakest creature, his mental strength was far higher than other stats.
Anyway, today will be the day Isaac Coin draws a sharp upward curve.
I passed the Ice and Snow Dragon and entered the pale blue passage.
Unexpectedly, the light quickly faded, and the view of the dark passageway was reflected in my eyes. It was a dark night, and only a blizzard was a sight that was raging like a rain shower.
A passage of unknown width. But, far away. A small ray of light at the end was pointing like a lighthouse. There must be a frost scythe.
“It’s cold… !”
「Ice Curtain (Ice attribute, 2)」
I started sprinting with a veil around my body to block the cold wind. It was cold and I couldn’t stand it.
Even his eyes seemed to freeze. As I ran, I closed my eyes for three seconds, then opened them briefly to make sure I was going well, then closed my eyes again for three seconds, and so forth.
The closer we got to the ray of light, the harsher the blizzard came. The extreme cold penetrated the skin inside the winter clothing and made the bones shiver.
yet.
─────Pass the ordeal of frost.
The voice of a woman called Iceberg reverberated in her head.
I lost my mind.
* * *
Ice and Snow Dragon-Hild was immersed in his emotions as he wandered through his memories.
The man in the enemy’s eyes who just entered the ordeal.
He hated the cold so terribly that he had to wrap his winter clothes tightly, although it didn’t look good.
Even in the face of himself, the Ice and Snow Dragon, he did not show any surprise or fear. As if, of course, he knew that the White Dragon was here.
Even though it looked weak on the surface, the aura that was emanating from him was something deep in light blue that Ice and Snow Dragon had longed for.
Ice emperor. The energy of the ancient archmage who once commanded the Ice and Snow Dragon as a workhorse was flowing from that weak-looking man.
To be precise, he only had a glimpse of Isaac’s 9-star passive skill [Ice Ice], but Ice and Snow Dragon didn’t know that exact fact.
[Thousands of years are really futile.]
About a thousand years ago, the image of a cold-hearted Archmage who always lived in solitude glimmers in front of his eyes. For the highest-ranking Beast Beast, Ice and Snow Dragon, even a thousand years was insignificant.
For all these years, the Ice and Snow Dragon have been drifting in their dreams. In my dreams, I was able to travel the world with the Ice emperor.
And it is said that after a thousand years, the soul of the longed-for Archmage began to live the next life.
There was nothing strange. This too will be fate.
[Are you finally reincarnated, Bingje?]
He is undoubtedly the reincarnation of the Iceberg.
The Ice and Snow Dragon had been suppressing Frosty’s mana from invading the Marchen Academy for a thousand years.
But now a new owner of the frost scythe appears.
Even if he is the reincarnation of the Ice Emperor.
It seemed like the time had come for me to stop living in my dreams.

“From now on, we will hold the first-year summer vacation of the Faculty of Magic.”
The end-of-semester assessment retest consisted of several elemental magic tests. It was very small compared to the existing end-of-semester evaluation scale, but it was also the most intuitive method.
The first semester has just ended. The sum of all grades so far is the grade for the first semester.
I was ranked 230 out of 300. Well, that was what I expected. Where is it that is not last?
There is a long way to go, but I am still aiming for the chief. Grades are an important indicator of how strong you are… … … … … … … … … … … … … .
The blue sky, a large group of cumulus clouds are leisurely… … … … … … … … … .
… … .
… … ?
“… what?”
intense discomfort. Realizing that the times I had already experienced were repeating itself, I regained my consciousness.
I hurriedly looked around. The first-year students of the Faculty of Magic were seated in a row on chairs arranged in an orderly manner in the central square of the Marchen Academy.
The school holidays were in full swing. If it was a vacation, it would have been just a few days ago… .
“this… test?”
If it was an ordeal, of course, I thought that something like Isaac’s bad past that I didn’t know would come out. Maybe this opportunity can help you find out about Isaac’s past.
But this… It was very different from what I expected.
During the school holidays, nothing happened. It went on peacefully and ended peacefully. If there was anything special that day, it would have been that Kaya expressed her feelings through an unexpected act.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
On the contrary, it is so peaceful that I become anxious again.
As the vacation ceremony progressed, Luce began to read the proclamation from the podium. I turned on her status window.
[ Luce Eltania ]

The state of mind is broken.
[Psychological Insight] couldn’t be wrong. In other words, it was proof that this world was wrong.
Again, Luce gave me a gentle smile. But now was not the time to admire that pretty smile.
I shook my head and started thinking.
What is happening today… ?
‘First… I wish I could act like I did back then.’
Reviving my memory, I decided to do the same thing I did on the day of the vacation.
In ＜Magical Knight of Marchen>, the ordeal pushed Ian as if he was determined to destroy his mind. The current ordeal was no exception. There’s probably going to be a desperate situation that will eat some of my mind.
After school break, I slowly started walking towards the corner of the butterfly garden.
“Isaac!”
“Kaya?”
“Go, go, I’m here to say thank you!”
Again, Kaya flew. We had the same conversation as back then.
side.
Kaya kissed me on the cheek.
“Lord, Lord, I have sinned to death————!!!”
sprinted at full speed.
I looked at the towering clock tower somewhere in the academy. At this point, 30 minutes had elapsed since the school vacation had ended.
‘Then, what did I do?’
There was no need to tie up and think hard. Of course, I went to training.
While training hard alone in the corner of the butterfly garden.
Suddenly the sky turned dark and rain poured down, so I went back to the dormitory.
After organizing my future plans, I went out to find ‘Traces of Ice’.
Late at night, I fell asleep while reading a book on elementary elements in the dormitory.
It was just everyday.
That’s all… It was a daily life that was nothing.
‘What the heck… ?’
When I was looking through the memories of the school holidays like that.
Kwahiah ah ah ah ah ──────────── !!!!!!!
“… … !”
A huge roar resounded with the force of deafening.
I was startled and quickly turned my head towards the source of the sound.
A red brilliance that suddenly began to shine through the clouds in the sky. An eerie blood-red aurora begins to surround the sky.
A palace-designed building with more than ten spires alone. The center of academic administration. And the place where the resurrection law of the evil god Nepid is engraved. Right in the center building of the Marchen Academy, the ‘Bartos Pavilion’, a red pillar began to rise endlessly toward the universe.
And, the ‘resurrection scene of the evil god Nepid’ that I saw in ＜Machen’s Magical Knight> overlaps in my memory.
[A powerful demon has been detected!!]
[The level difference with the enemy is extreme!!]

Beyond the system window that pops up one after another like a warning window.
A status window appeared in front of me targeting the red pillar.

Five pairs of huge black wings spread out on either side of the pillar of light to cover the world.
A woman in a black dress, the owner of the wings, floats quietly in the air, as if in a state of weightlessness.
The hem of the dress skirt was long enough to cover the Bartos Hall. It was as if a woman with unusually long legs that could be several tens of meters was standing on the roof of the Bartos Hall with her back to the pillars of light.
His skin twitched, and the hairs all over his body stood up. Even if I activated the [Destroyer] attribute, an incomparable powerful magical energy was flowing like a wave around the Bartos Hall.
“Don’t be shy… .”
There is a degree of ordeal.
There are some things that need to be overcome.
From the red pillar, a huge dragon made of black flames jumps out and crosses the academy. The three heads roar with groaning sounds.

Every time Dahaka-Aji Dahaka flapped her wings, black flames poured down like a shower. The flame transcended the limits of the flame and began to burn buildings and everything on the ground without discrimination.

No, it was annihilating rather than burning.
Suddenly, heterogeneous black spheres were created here and there in the air. Everything that touches it will vanish in vain as if it did not exist from the beginning.
This is a remote island located in the eastern part of the continent. The only place to escape is the bridge connecting the continents, but even if you escape from now on, you will not be able to escape from those who have come to end this world.
Woo
rumbling rumble ──────────!!!!!!
Evil god Nepheid stretches his arms upwards.
A fireball emitting black light appeared above it and grew in size to cover the sky.
The black flame sphere was engraved with heterogeneous black slashes. cracks in space. An astronomical amount of magic had distorted even space.
I… Couldn’t do anything. Except for just seeing the end of this world with your own two eyes.
Eventually, the evil spirit gently lowered his arm.
The black flame slowly descended into the world.

Black flames fiercely engulfed the world.
The pain that burned all over his body did not last long.

The world perishes.

“From now on, we will hold the first-year summer vacation of the Faculty of Magic.”
“… … .”
With the sensation of closing my eyes and opening them once, I was back at the beginning of the vacation.

Cold sweat ran down his back.
I’m deaf.
The voice of the host of the vacation ceremony and the quiet gossip of the students could not be heard at all.
“really… , are you crazy?”
He shook his head and took a deep breath. The students on either side of me were squinting at me, but there was no psychological space to pay attention.
Repeated deep breathing several times. Even though the instinctive fear from the evil spirit came crashing down like a wave, thanks to the [Frozen Soul] effect of [Ice Ice], I was able to quickly control my emotions.
After that, I thought quietly.
“… Let’s do it.”
I did not intend to be disappointed as I witnessed the appearance of an evil spirit once.
If you think about it, it wasn’t any different than before.
I just had to overcome any adversity.
＜
The trial is probably in something akin to dream space. Although it’s only illusion and not real, he still can see, hear and feel everything around him. You could compare it to lucid dream but you can neither wake up or control it.
Did he really become deaf (in the trial) or just a temporary thing? Hmmmm maybe it’s a kind of trial that removes the senses one by one 🧐
