Academy Munchkin Enslaved

18 – Oh no, if you stay like this you’ll get caught… !

The day of the subjugation festival.

For today, I abandoned my usual routine as a slave, got enough morning sleep, and left the lodging late at night.

Time for cadets to go to school. It was an unfamiliar sensation for me, who had never walked down Academy Street during this time.

The warm morning air that began to fill the world with the vitality of the cadets.

Among that, the feeling of walking to school alone wearing a slave’s jacket, not a cadet uniform, is what. It wasn’t too bad.

Because the way they looked at me was already familiar.

-That must be a slave…

-He looks handsome, no matter where you look at him, a slave…

-How well do you manage to transfer to magic?

-Tsk… Dirty crab.

-Look at those clothes. Kkeuk.

A lot of gossip about me.

Most of the remarks were ignoring me, but there was no damage.

After all, sooner or later you’ll find out who has the lower level.

‘But, can I do it well?’

Of course, I also suddenly worried about the fact that I had never experienced combat.

But I soon regained my confidence.

I have already mastered the study of magic, no, calculus to some extent, and therefore I am proud that my understanding of magic is higher than anyone else here.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll lose to those guys who don’t even know calculus and do complicated calculations.

The cadets stopped by their respective classes first and then came to the place of the subjugation, so I arrived early and took a seat in the corner of the empty plaza.

Looking at the large-scale spatial teleportation magic circles installed throughout the plaza, it seemed to transfer all the cadets to the field at once.

“It seems that the topic was stuck in a corner on its own. It was hard to find because of that.”

As time passed, the cadets gathered one by one, and among them, a voice that was familiar but the most hated to hear came to me.

“I thought he would run away, but the dragon appeared shamelessly. Are you stupid or do you want to die?”

“… I will only say that it is not me who is foolish, but the princess.”

Stupid b*tch.

Princess Julia, what was she so excited about, crossed her arms and came to me and started arguing with me from the morning.

Looking at the confident expression on my face, it seems that he is convinced that I will never win.

I was really looking forward to seeing how that expression would change when the subjugation system was over.

“… Heh Yes, you seem to be quite confident. It will probably never go your way.”

Yulia looked at me and returned to her seat with a characteristic sneer.

Does that b*tch have a disease that she must commit once a day?

I didn’t have any special skills or magic skills, but I wanted to wipe my face because it was my heart to believe only in my status.

“After… Calm down. Calm down.”

Because I will be the one who wins anyway.

Don’t get excited about a girl like that for no reason, mind control…

Efficient use of mana is important as subjugation wars last for a long time.

This means that if she wasted her mana early on in excitement, she could lose her points while only looking for mana and her recovery fruits.

“Once… With this magic, Mana’s worries have decreased considerably.”

Mana Revibration.

This is a 4th tier trance-type magic that quickly recovers mana by itself by transforming the nature of mana that is emitted outside whenever magic is used.

For this subjugation system, we searched for magic related to mana efficiency and discovered the magic.

It was a very effective magic because it could recover mana on its own while out of combat.

In fact, if you could take a break between battles, it was an efficiency that did not require mana recovery fruits.

However, it is said that it is difficult to use Mana Liberation while doing other things as it requires a 4th tier or higher calculation process, as befits a complex trance family.

He usually sits down to meditate, calculating magic while recovering mana.

In other words, moving between locations during subjugation and calculating mana rebalance in your head to recover mana,

In fact, it is said that it is impossible with decent arithmetic skills and concentration.

“Of course I can.”

Of course I can.

If you put your mind to it, you can run and concentrate and calculate in your head.

Of course, it would still be impossible to use it simultaneously with other magic.

Anyway, being able to recover magic on its own while out of combat was a huge advantage.

“But it must be difficult for mages in this ordinary world. It’s not that the trans series is inefficient and complicated for nothing.”

As I learned Mana Liberation, I definitely felt that there is probably no magician in the world who could research TS as Kana wished.

Even for the 4th tier trans series, the calculations are so complicated and the efficiency is poor, so it’s surprising that there are no wizards selling the trans series.

Of course, if you simply calculate magic using calculus like me, it will be a different story.

It was important that I had no interest in TS.

-Ah. So from now on…

After checking the magic like that for a while, before I knew it, all the students gathered, and the professor’s explanation continued.

Mostly what Kana explained before. There wasn’t much difference.

“And as you know, hidden rules that are triggered under certain conditions are also applied this year as well.”

And one thing, the hidden rule.

It is said that the hidden rule that changes every year always causes a reversal of the result, so it was impossible to ignore it no matter what.

“… The above rule explanation is finished. Before the start of the subjugation system in earnest, students who do not wish to participate will be forced to fall to the right side of the plaza.”

As it was a pretty tough event, there were quite a few cadets who gave up before it even started.

Perhaps getting a high score in the subjugation system is because the competition rate is so fierce, you don’t have to push yourself too hard.

“Now I will think that it is all gone. Then,”

– I wish you good luck.

Shhh-

As soon as the professor’s last words were finished, the vision went dark, and the direction of the senses all felt were reversed.

Transition of large-scale space. The subjugation system has begun.

*

-Kieheek!

The beginning of the subjugation system.

The monsters that still appeared were mostly slimes and goblins.

They were truly tutorial-level monsters, and even so, there were already some cadets who dropped out.

To that extent, the threat of the existence of a monster that was actually encountered was great.

Even if those monsters could be dealt with with only 1st tier magic.

The subjugation system was also a kind of class to alert the cadets to their fear of such monsters and to relieve them at the same time.

“Ugh… Where the hell are you!”

It is natural for first-year students who have a high fear of monsters to struggle from the beginning of the subjugation system.

Even so, unlike the other first year students, Eri was running around the field, taking care of monsters with enthusiasm.

Since she is a daughter of the prestigious Weiss family, she had been trained in magic early on. She

Because she had another purpose besides killing her monsters.

[1. Lorraine Dear Heart – 101pt

2. Sharp Grade – 97pt

3. Ian. -89Pt

.

.

.

27. Erie Vice – 66pt]

In the subjugation system, it was possible to check the current ranking and each individual’s points in real time.

Eri was also ranked 27th, a pretty high ranking for her freshman year, but she wasn’t satisfied at all.

“Third place? Already?”

Because Ian’s name was at the top of the rankings.

Eri was in a position where she had to drop Ian, so it was dissatisfying that he was recording high points from the beginning.

Actually, it was more surprising that her freshman, Lorraine, was running in first place, but to the point where I didn’t even care.

“Lorraine… At least he must have been overdoing it from the beginning.”

Due to her personality, there was a high possibility that she was catching monsters from the start.

Anyway, in the subjugation system, the ranking at the beginning of the game never carries over to the second half.

This is because the points given by one powerful monster that appears in the second half exceeds the points that can be accumulated in the first half.

Of course, with Eri’s current skills, she can’t catch those later monsters.

And Eri knew that too.

That’s why she wasn’t interested in getting high grades in her subjugation festival.

Ian.

It was her only goal to quickly eliminate him who was arrogantly attacking the subject of a lowly slave.

-… Not a big deal.

“… !”

And when the level of the monsters that appeared gradually increased, and before I knew it, even the Star Wolf began to appear.

Eri finally found the voice she had been searching for and held her breath.

Ian. A slave without knowing the topic, he was walking slowly through the field alone, killing monsters as he saw them.

‘Ignorant… Does that make sense in the subject of slavery? How can the magic not stop like that… ‘

Carefully following him, Eri forgot the purpose of her moment and was mesmerized by his leisurely gestures.

Even though he wasn’t killing monsters like crazy like Lorraine.

However, he literally destroyed all the monsters he could see.

That, too, was being killed before even approaching it with incredibly fast magic calculations.

‘No. 1… No, even second-tier magic. Calculating so many spells without stopping?’

Inevitably, there is a little gap before casting magic.

Because any magic needs to finish its calculation.

Refining the Acceleration of Acceleration to reduce the gap to close to 0 seconds, although that was the magician’s dream.

Actually, at the cadet level, it would be impossible to use 2nd tier magic in an instant like that, unless you would know if it was a 0th tier magic.

In addition, even if there were mana recovery fruits, Ian passed them by without eating them.

In other words, it means that even after using so many magics, there is still no shortage of mana.

It was also a performance that could not be understood at the cadet level.

No, it was an amount of mana that could not be seen not even by cadets, but by graduates and wizards of the Mage Tower.

‘No, that’s ridiculous… How could a slave… ‘

How on earth can he use magic so infinitely? Even without the mana recovery fruit.

What is his ridiculous calculation speed?

And in the meantime, even those leisurely steps.

All of those actions were unbelievable, but even so, there was only one thought in Eri’s head.

‘Oh, I have to get eliminated… !’

Anyway, if I leave it as it is, I’m sure I’ll get really high grades and transfer to the academy.

I had to stop that somehow. I had to leave him as a slave.

So Eri prepared her magic.

A magic practiced day and night for today. Convergence Aroma.

It is a slightly complicated 2nd tier magic, magic that attracts monsters within a certain range.

Eri intended to use the magic against Ian to eliminate him.

“Convergence Aroma… “

Carefully following Ian, Eri used her magic toward him.

It was supposed to have a unique scent that attracts monsters, but by adding the void attribute to the magic circle, it made it odorless.

It was a weak flow of mana that he probably didn’t even notice as he was constantly hunting monsters.

“Suddenly, a monster… Could this be the Big Wave?”

‘Are you too many? More effective than expected… If it’s dangerous, they’ll use the scroll on their own, right?’

The effect of the magic was far superior to Eri’s thought.

Even though it was a monster like a goblin or a star wolf, the number of them multiplied several times, making it a bit difficult for Ian.

If you only count the amount of monsters, it’s enough to believe that it’s a really big wave.

Ian’s skill level was not a problem for the level of monsters, but as they attacked without any difficulty, the mana was gradually running low.

Since he continued to use magic, there was no time to recover mana using mana liberation.

‘Why, why, why don’t you use the scroll, that idiot! If it’s dangerous, the professors will step in, right?’

Eri was still looking at Ian who was struggling.

For Ian, if he didn’t win, he would die, so he gritted his teeth and endured,

Eri didn’t know what was going on inside him and just wanted him to drop out quickly.

“Keugh… can’t help it I already didn’t want to use it… “

However, Ian’s subsequent actions were completely different from Eri’s expectations.

As if he had used the thought acceleration method more deeply, it seemed as if only his time was passing slowly,

With him at the center, a vast amount of mana began to gather that was different from before, and Eri could not even handle it.

“… “Flame Bastion”

And when he finished the calculation and reversed the flow of time, huge flames began to soar in all directions around him.

The soaring flames built a huge fortress of flames that prevented the invasion of monsters, and thanks to this, Ian was able to gain time to recover mana.

‘Fire Wall… ? No, more powerful than that. Seo, could it be the 3rd rank?’

2Nd tier fire type magic. Fire wall.

What Ian used was the 3rd tier Flame Bastion that took him to the next level.

For Eri, it was an unbelievable sight even after seeing it.

Casting 3rd tier magic at such a high speed in a situation where magic is overused?

It was a situation that couldn’t be explained by Eri’s common sense.

However, it was still too early for Eri to be surprised.

Kwajijik-!

While he was staring blankly at the burning fortress of flame, the floor around him began to crack.

“… Stone Spires”

4Th tier magic of the Earth series. Stone Spire.

In an instant, between the cracks in the cracked earth, rocks in the shape of thorns rose up, and many monsters were pierced at once.

“Kyaa, kyaak… ! Huh!”

Those like slaves used 4th tier magic.

There was no time to think about it.

Eri’s mind had already been unable to keep up with the situation before she could figure out the true nature of the magic, and it was because she unknowingly let out a scream at the earth that was suddenly shaking.

And after a while, the sound of footsteps approaching Eri.

‘Oh, no, if you stay like this, you will be found out… !’

The owner of the footsteps must have been Ian.

The Convergence Aroma that Eri put on must have dispelled, so the monsters stopped running at him.

Eri has to run away. He kept repeating the thought that he would be in trouble if his true identity was revealed, but Eri’s words were not listened to by his legs, which had already been loosened.

And finally, when the sound of footsteps approached right in front of me.

“… Under.”

“Qua, cuaang… uh… “

“… b*tch.”

Ian looked up and saw a deep sense of disgust running down his face.
