Academy Munchkin Enslaved

12 – Don’t torture your hopes with the thesis review!

“Are you submitting a magic circle that frees slaves as a contest problem? What happened to the level of magic in this world? Seeing the cadets who couldn’t even solve a problem like this made me yawn because it was so pathetic!!”

My choice was the regular method.

A summoned warrior, a genius, a magician, whatever, I am just a slave. The level of magic in this world is so low that even slaves can calculate it.

Well, I wasn’t wrong. I was a slave in the past, and I am a slave now, and the magic circle calculation was also easy.

I made the choice to tell only the truth.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no better option than this.

“Ha ha ha?”

Professor Lydia’s face turned into astonishment upon hearing my frivolous answer.

The fact that their magic was ignored by slaves… More than that, it was as if I didn’t expect that I would come out like this, and I couldn’t recognize the reality.

But then, rather, I go out stronger!

“Did you really think that no one could come up with an answer after asking the question so far? How long did you think it would take to solve this magic circle!”

“Keugh… !”

“Does it make sense to ask for a magic circle that even professors find difficult in the first place? If that’s the case, resign your professorship! I mean, don’t leave thesis or thesis to the graduate students all the time, leave all the assignment plans and reports, and don’t just focus on the results! What kind of slaves are graduate students? If you receive a research grant, you should use it for research! I am so sorry to be working as a slave for a measly salary! I mean, don’t torture your hopes with the thesis review!”

“Awesome… ! But you’re not a graduate student, you’re a real slave… “

“Anyway!”

Oops, I was so excited that the resentment I had when I was a graduate student exploded.

As a slave, it was a pretty rude remark, but Professor Lydia’s expression didn’t look like she was angry.

She is one of the few people who knows that I am an alien who was summoned from the empire as a hero of prophecy.

Since such an existence could easily solve the 5th tier magic, the treatment of me would probably be ambiguous.

Perhaps she thinks that this slave can take on the fate of the real continent.

Uncharacteristically for a professor, she thought she was an insightful woman.

In fact, from calling me here to asking about my identity, as if I was looking at it like this, in fact, I was thinking about it to some extent.

The possibility that she might think that I am not an ordinary slave.

Perhaps because of that thought, he expressed his emotions a little.

“Hmm, hmm… anyway. It was just an easy magic. That’s what it means.”

“Ah, ah… “

Professor Lydia must have been quite shocked, but she couldn’t keep her mouth open for a while.

Her black eyes completely lost focus, making her look a bit stupid.

It’s a fortunate situation if your life doesn’t fly away, but I wasn’t really worried.

In the academy, especially in the world of wizards, skill is the most important factor.

The calculation of the magic circle is an area that people without talent cannot even approach, so it means that even a slave can become a wizard if he has exceptional talent for magic.

Considering that there were so many blisters even in modern times,

In a world where the study of mathematics has not developed properly, the fact that there are people who can solve calculus is, in fact, a miracle in itself.

Anyway, that’s why I had the confidence that Professor Lydia and, by extension, the academy wouldn’t try to kill me.

Is there a human who can calculate 5th tier magic in a few months after being summoned to another world?

From their point of view, it was clear that he would be a talented person they would never want to miss.

“Well, even so, there seems to be a limit to just asking for learning by yourself.”

“To the extent that I can calculate even 5th tier magic with self-taught… But there is a limit. Your skills are already far beyond their limits. I can’t believe it… I can’t help but believe that.”

“What… I was just using the knowledge I learned over my shoulder while cleaning the library.”

However, it would be strange to use magic without any learning.

The story that he became interested in magic while cleaning the library must have been moderately persuasive.

If it is combined with the setting that I am a tremendous magic genius from another world.

“I see… I see. Then, how many tiers of magic can you use right now? Acceleration law… You must have already learned to some extent.”

“That’s right. I meditated alone in my free time. What you can use now… It’s up to 3rd tier magic.”

Actually, I was able to use up to the 4th level, but for now, I lied.

The 3rd level is also not a low level, but the 4th level requires more exponential calculations, so

Because it was difficult to explain that I still use up to the 4th level at my level of Acceleration.

I can complete calculations in a much shorter time than the wizards in this world do.

However, in order to explain that fact, I had to explain the concept of calculus, but it was also because it was a bit difficult to explain that.

“Third tier… That’s really great speed. Concentration seems good too. You’ve already trained your accident acceleration method up to that point. Of course, the calculation skills that can calculate up to the 5th tier magic circle in this short amount of time… It’s honestly at a level that I can’t explain. What kind of world is the world you lived in?”

“What… Let’s just say it’s a world where people like me enslave in droves.”

“I can’t… what the hell… “

Professor Lydia seemed to be seriously shocked as she imagined the world she had come to.

It would not have been understood by the common sense of this world. To be enslaved with such computational skills?

A world that treats men like this as slaves… ? You must be thinking the same thing.

Well, I didn’t lie…

“Ah, anyway, an unusual world… And you are human. Then one thing, you, no Ian. There is something I would like to suggest to you.”

“A suggestion?”

“I want you to become an academy cadet. And I hope you will work hard for the development of magic on the continent in the future.”

Professor Lydia’s proposal was somewhat expected.

As I said, it was because of the speculation that magicians were rare here, so they would catch me somehow.

“But I am a slave now, will the other cadets accept that easily?”

“That… When your skills are revealed, such dissatisfaction will disappear by itself. The world of wizards is strictly based on merit, and in the not too distant past, there were cases where slaves entered the academy. Among those wizards who were born as slaves, there are wizards who are now masters of the mage tower.”

“Then… I will accept it.”

There was nothing to worry about.

As for me, I had to find a way to access a higher level of magic, and in order to do so, I had to get off my slave status.

In order to create the magic of reverse summoning to return to the original world, the option of becoming an academy cadet was not bad.

Of course, I had no intention of working for this continent.

It was just to develop the magic to return home.

“Okay Ian. It will take some time before admission is confirmed, as several procedures are required. I will call you again when the time is right, so please maintain your current life until then. And the description of you… Can I just be a slave?”

“Yes. Just be a slave from the past, a slave that doesn’t care about magic. Because that is true.”

“Okay… Let’s report that. Then it would be good to go back today.”

“Yes. Then.”

I politely bowed to the professor and left her office.

“Whoa… It went well.”

Authors called professors tend to have a hard time accepting what others claim because of the mindset that their level of knowledge is high, even if they are in an area they do not know exactly.

So I was worried that Professor Lydia would believe that I came from a world where even slaves could easily perform magic operations like this… Fortunately, it seems that it was raining.

The professors at this academy are wizards before professors, and their attitude to pursue the truth is a bit different.

“Moreover, for Miya… I will have to explain.”

Things before, how I came to use magic, what happened in the past.

I didn’t explain because Miya didn’t bother to ask, but now it was time to explain.

Miya is the first person who came here to show her kindness to me, and I will no longer be her slave like her.

She seems to need to say it well because it was actually leaving her.

“Miya… “

Miya, no slaves.

Before they were finally freed from slavery, it seemed that there was somehow something I could do for them.

***

“… So, the identity of the correct answer is Ian… It was a male slave, and he just said that this magic circle was something that even slaves could easily calculate.”

“Huh… Does that mean he wasn’t an ordinary alien after all… It’s an unbelievable story, but I can’t help but believe it.”

After hearing Professor Lydia’s story, the president grabbed his pounding head and leaned back on the sofa.

A slave being the master of the answer was better than assuming that an unidentified villain had infiltrated the academy, but it was not an issue to be taken lightly.

“I recommended him to enter the academy as a cadet. There is already a precedent of a slave entering the academy… He, too, agreed to the admission.”

“That sounds nice to hear. To come out cooperatively to us.”

Even if the president thought of it, that was the only way.

Even though he says he doesn’t have any evil thoughts right now, he’s a slave from another world.

Originally, he was summoned as a hero, but the summoning failed, and he suffered unfair treatment from the empire accordingly.

He was immediately sold into slavery after being imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial palace. He was, in fact, no wonder he harbored an evil heart in the world.

If you are a genius enough to use 3rd tier magic and calculate 5th tier magic in such a short period of time…

“… I will absolutely have to hold on to it. No matter what.”

He had to somehow belong to the academy.

The disaster that would befall the continent if such an existence changed its mind was obvious without worrying.

Education at the academy had to be corrected so as not to have dissatisfaction with the continent.

“As soon as the matter is decided, that slave… No, let’s transfer Ian-gun to the first year. We need to get him out of slavery as soon as possible.”

“Yes. All right.”

“Maybe… If that’s the case, I don’t know if one day I’ll even reach the ancient 7th tier magic. I feel that way.”

“I think so too. Calculating 5th tier magic with only talent… “

What the heck are the royal family members of the empire doing without even recognizing such talented people?

It is said that the authority of the imperial family has fallen due to the failure of this summoning, but it was also due to their stupidity.

The summoned patients were thrown into prison without even checking their abilities properly.

If the summoner, Ian, had been a man with a slightly more evil disposition, he could have become a person who might rebel against the Empire.

It was fortunate that I found it so quickly.

If he had found out by the time he ended up using 5th tier magic, he would have been too late.

“Good job Professor Lydia.”

“… No.”

However, they did not know.

That the royal family, who were considered foolish, were more foolish than they thought.

That the imperial family will once again make their conversation cold.

And Ian already knows that he has no regard for the safety of the continent…
