023. How to avoid graduate school
After successfully completing the mini-test.
My academy life was changing little by little.
First of all, the schedule. To be honest, I felt very comfortable during the few days that Nefty took care of the business with his cart.
That doesn’t mean I’d give Nephthys full authority to build my body, but I don’t think it’s because I’m planning a rebellion like Ayla, but I think my connections with graduate students will be quite important for my future.
He is treated as a villain at school, but at the academy, he is a cool merchant who provides delicious food from the morning.
The stronger my connections with them, the more defense I have to protect myself.
Next is the convenience store.
Although the number of customers did not increase or anything, the selection was better than expected.
First of all, by getting my hands on the Ma Dong-seok freezer, my range of drinks has expanded.
Energy drinks were not released because I thought Ayla would make a fuss saying, “It’s time for rebellion!” if I released them carelessly, but the shake and sherbet series have increased. You can also make carbonated drinks using aqua beans and bubble beans. I’m researching the best ratio. I think it will sell well in the summer.
Next are jellies and candies with edible slime. Black bread, Valley Manju, and donuts can also be refrigerated, so the fun of placing various items on the food counter has increased.
Food made with red pepper paste is a special food that only Rudika enjoys, but I also enjoy it sometimes. I am thinking about the name of the red pepper paste made with red pepper paste, whether it should be called red pepper paste hongchojang or red pepper paste chojang.
So now that I’ve described a bit about my schedule and the changes to my daily routine, let’s talk about something equally, if not more, important: my life at the Academy.
First of all, class.
Surprisingly, really surprisingly, the major is somehow keeping up.
I don’t think my grades will be great, but I think I have enough knowledge to survive this hellish Zephrine.
In fact, this seems like a result of the excellent private tutoring from Teacher Ayla, but Wolfram knows how to praise himself. He’s a kid who can say, “Well done, Wolfram.”
In particular, Professor Lantika Grace, the wizard and battlefield subject teacher who had to take a mini-test, was looking at me with an unusual gaze.
Professor Lantika Grace, who is now in her sixties, is an authority on battlefield magicians, Ayla said.
Then one day.
“Let’s end today’s lecture here. Student Wolfram von Lohengrin, may I speak to you for a moment?”
“Yes, Professor.”
The professor came to see me in person.
Why are you calling?
Why are you being so respectful?
So f*cking scary.
***
As I headed to the lecture room with the professor, he followed me to the car and smiled kindly.
“Student Wolfram von Lohengrin… Can I call you student? Since you are no longer the student council president?”
“Yes, it’s okay, Professor. I’m not the student body president right now.”
The title of student body president at Zephrine carries such weight.
Because he is a descendant of the royal family and the only one of that class, even those old professors don’t want to treat him carelessly.
“Thank you for understanding. Do you remember the answers you wrote down for the last test?”
“A large escort to escort wizards on the battlefield is a terrible waste of manpower,” he wrote.
“That’s right. But then there’d be a hole in the defense. The Archmage is a huge force. So Wolfram wrote down two countermeasures below.”
[One is to use a golem granted [Guardian Fortress: Elemental Protection: Steel] as a barrier. However, if the enemy’s attack exceeds the golem’s defense, it poses a danger to the magician.]
“This is a common answer. It’s actually used. But the second answer was very interesting.”
[Another is to prepare an artifact containing two magics.
Tier 3 【High Magic: Protect: Mana Shield】
Tier 2 【High Magic: Teleportation: Escape】
The magical power required for activation is supplied by recruiting general magicians.]
“Actually, I thought it was just a fantasy. The magic color of each wizard has a tendency. When the magic power of several wizards gathers in an artifact, it just explodes with a bang.”
“you’re right.”
“Of course, Wolfram’s student life didn’t end there.”
“So, I wrote that we need to develop a magic that turns all magical colors transparent.”
“Yes. However, that theory has been concluded to be impossible among magicians. Reversing colored magic back to transparency is like making paint that has already been applied disappear.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But, I don’t know if this is a good example, but there is one person in history who used polychromatic magic.”
“yes.”
The first emperor.
The greatest loser who created this academy island.
“Since his blood relatives are speaking, it seems like that is a possibility.”
“I also wrote it as a hypothesis. The test questions were just expecting logic.”
“······Ahem. That’s true.”
Aha. I see.
The professor seemed to wonder if I had any clues.
If all colored magic could be turned colorless, in other words, it would become an absolute magical barrier that no magic could penetrate.
All ideas are turned upside down. I am so greedy that I want to leave my name in history and lose my taste, but the one who threw the bait is the prince? I can’t stand this.
“I just wrote down the theory because I thought I had roughly guessed the objective questions.”
“Ah, ah, I see. I understand.”
The professor smacked his lips with regret.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes. Go in carefully.”
I turned around and thought about the magic.
Isn’t this an absolute cheat key skill that can nullify all magical power and draw it in with your own magical power?
So is there really such a thing?
haha.

Yeah, that’s right.
Of course there is.
It exists, although it is at the top of the tier 1.
This is a magic that only two people in this game are allowed to use.
It was the greatest miracle that I could only learn in the latter half of Act 12 after going through all the hidden quests.
Keltus, the hero of light when he devoted everything to magic.
and,
Eve von Lohengrin, born with magic power of 22.
She is the reincarnation of a myth that can only be used when she has shed her humanity.
***
The next morning.
It was Nephthys who welcomed me.
“what.”
“Can I do business in front of the Magic Department on your behalf just for today?”
“Nefty. Where on earth do you spend all your money?”
“I ate three wooden swords while practicing my skills yesterday.”
Oh, that could be true.
If I remember correctly, each of Zephrin’s wooden swords cost around 10,000 rin.
“But there is no special hourly wage. You know? It’s 8,720 lin per hour.”
“······Of course!”
What is that hesitation?
Anyway, the wage negotiations were over and Nefty drove off on his cart.
“Shall we sleep again?”
Today was a day without classes, so I took a leisurely nap, and then the first thing I saw before my eyes was Nephthys again.
“What now?”
“Oh, no. I’m done with business. I came to get my hourly wage.”
“······ah.”
That has to be done.
see.
It’s three hours, so it’s 26,160 rin.
When I handed over three ten thousand lin notes, Nefty’s eyes sparkled.
“Thank you. As expected, Lord Wolfram is truly a descendant of the royal family! I was so worried when you said you would only pay the minimum wage… I, Nephthys, doubted Lord Wolfram for a moment!”
“······I see. I will continue to be loyal to you.”
“Yes! …Now that I think about it, something strange happened while I was doing business.”
“What’s weird? Did a graduate student cry, sob, scream, or do all that while dancing naked?”
Up to that point, it would be within the normal range, right?
“No. I was surprised at first by the behavior of the graduate students, but now I’m used to it. No, I heard a rumor from a professor.”
“Professor’s rumor?”
“Yes. They say they have obtained top secret information from the imperial family and have begun research. I think their name is Lantica? Lantis?”
“···Lantica Grace.”
“Yes. I think that’s the name. He said that he squeezed the graduate students while making them do research, and that he was already doing a lot of research, and he was sobbing while spinning his head in his underwear. I heard that one of them ran away from the lab yesterday, saying that he wanted to go back to being a freshman after going through a childhood regression.”
That’s not infantile regression, that’s mental illness.
If I think about it, wouldn’t it be too terrifying for me to witness that?
I’m glad Nefty went to work instead of me.
“And there is also a plan to kidnap an undergraduate student to graduate school.”
“what?”
“Well, it’s all just rumors. Oh, the headspin screams and escapes are real.”
“······Yes. That’s true.”
“yes.”
······.
Well anyway, you gave me some good information.
“I’ll give you 20,000 more Nefty Lin.”
“I will serve you with all my heart and loyalty. My only faith is yours.”
“okay.”
When I received 30,000 Lin and handed him a 50,000 Lin note, Nefty burst into laughter.
He left that stupid expression behind and thought for a moment.
The opponent is a professor who is obsessed with achievements and fame. He is doing everything he can to squeeze graduate students.
And it seems like that professor has a fire in his eye and plans to kidnap me to graduate school.
“There’s only one way. Ha!”
You dare to look at me like water. Are you going to come out like that?
***
“Hello, senior.”
“hello.”
“Um. Order now.”
“What would you like with two strawberry donuts?”
“I’m fat…two sugar donuts without cream!”
“Strawberry. Two each of sugar. Ordered. Are you going to eat them?”
“It’s packaging.”
“I’m also a packager.
“i get it.”
The next day.
I moved the cart to the first-year undergraduate building.
***
No, this is by no means an escape or a run.
Just freshmen rather than graduate students.
I just thought that it would be much more valuable for my future to do business with children who have the potential to grow into Tier 1 in the main story.
It’s tricky to use graduate students as a party because most of them have status abnormalities such as [Obsessed], [Fear], [Mental Illness], and [Depression], but first-year students don’t have that. They are all bright and shining children.
And soon, the first act of the first scene of the main story centered around Celts begins.
“Ayla took down Celts, and she did it perfectly.”
Normally, after getting hit by Keltus and going “hehe”, he would see Keltus fall down and then say “I allowed him to hit me? This Ayla Tristar? A commoner… I can’t forgive him!” and pour out all his anger.
If Wolfram is a third-rate villain, then Ayla is a third-rate villainess with a young daughter concept.
However, I would like to believe that because of this complete victory, they won’t scream “Eeeeek!” and antagonize Celts, and they won’t actually rebel… but anyway.
It is obvious that there will be a huge change in the story in Act 3.
Wolfram, who has a win rate of only about 40% even in a team fight with the edible slime wandering around the Eastern Forest, the map of Act 1, may not be involved in the main story, but you should obtain as much information as possible.
So, to get information from first-year students, I started selling things like this, pulling a cart…
“Did you eat well?”
“Yes? Yes… Then I enjoyed the meal!”
“Go, thank you. I will go, senior!”
The first graders just wrapped up their donuts and ran away before I could ask them anything.
Why?
If the donuts didn’t taste good, I wouldn’t come to buy them, but then why do I just wrap them up and quickly eat them?
I’m not a high school student who came out to chop up coconuts and eat tteokbokki…
My problem was solved very easily and simply.
“That’s right, Wolfram. The guild elders have forbidden us from buying and eating anything from your stall.”
An unexpected uninvited guest.
Eve von Lohengrin sat down in his seat, dumbfounded, and glared at me with the eyes of an idiot.
You banned it?
“Why?”
“Undergraduates above the second year have not forgiven you for what you did last year, and that has been passed down.”
“I see.”
That is indeed a good reason.
I nodded, and Eve tilted her head in confusion.
“···Aren’t you shocked? You’re trying to reform somehow, but you’re still branded.”
“It’s shocking.”
Of course, it wasn’t my fault, it was Wolfram’s, but I am Wolfram now.
and···.
“Even so, there is a first-year student who ran away secretly. It means that the snack is so attractive that it defies the seniors’ taboo.”
“To take it like that… ha.”
Eve shook her head as if she was dumbfounded. Yonsuk.
“If you didn’t come here to buy something, go back. This is a store and we don’t accept customers.”
“···Okay. Give me one of each flavor set.”
“Um. I got your order.”
“I’ll take a cup of candy too. Is that okay?”
“Pay me the money.”
“Of course.”
I nodded and heard the rustling of candy behind me, and then…
“lol.”
A cutely terrifying voice rang out.
No, it might be cute if you dissect it logically, but the thing that really gives me goosebumps is Wolfram’s body…
What on earth could possibly be so good about Keltus that he chose to become such a noble guardian in the Ministry route?
It’s impossible without going crazy, really.
ah.
If you can’t get information from other first-year students, you can just ask Eve.
What is Celts doing now? Who is he working on?
I wonder if Celts is alive without a brain and has taken the Eve route.
I continued cooking and blurted out a question to Eve.
“By the way, Eve.”
“Hehe…huh? Why?”
“Do you remember the top student in the first year this year?”
“First year top student···. Oh, um. So···. That···.”
“hmm?”
“Oh, I remember. Cool, Coolpis? No, but it was such a delicious name? Kel… was it Kel?”
“It’s Celts.”
“···That’s right. Yes. Why that Celts?”
“······It’s nothing.”
It’s a good thing I was turning my back on Eve and cooking donuts, because if Eve had seen my expression right now, she’d have thought it was weird.
Eve and Celts have no relationship up to this point.
In other words, it means that the Magic Faculty route has been completely destroyed.
The Magical Faculty is known for its moderate and orthodox storyline, as its heroine is the princess Eve.
And the fact that the Magic Faculty route collapsed means that, from Celtus’ perspective, the Knight Faculty route has an overwhelming number of bad endings,
Or rather, it was a story about taking the hidden route known as hell.
