Chapter 46: Academy Difficulty Level Increase

Academy Difficulty Level Increase

Time remaining until the first class 7 days.

===============================================================

About 30 minutes later. Red Tower Wizard entered only after giving three polite knocks and twice repeating a caution to refrain from any excessive affectionate behavior if it was still occurring.

And as soon as she entered, the first thing she did was to drop a thick Dictionary of Academy Rules onto the table with a Thump.

In the Academy, that sort of thing is prohibited!

Prohibited?

Yes, it is prohibited. There have been three instances of regional wars caused by indiscriminate this and that. And the number of smaller quarrels are too numerous to count.

Why would someone who knows that do t-that sort of thing?!

BANG BANG BANG! Red Tower Wizard pounded the table in anger. I responded with a genuinely puzzled expression. Next to me, Pink-Haired Lesbian, too, nonchalantly pushed up her glasses.

What is it that you thought we were doing?

Then, the voice of Red Tower Wizard shrank to the level of a crawling ant and the stuttering rate spiked to Tower Master talking to strangers levels.

S-S-So w-what I-I mean i-isSMplay

What exactly does SM play entail?

Uh, hittingwith a whip or

Sorry to let down your expectations, but we werent exactly engaging in SM play. We were merely, in a purely innocent sense, inflicting wounds upon each others dignity.

I wasnt expecting it in the first place and isnt that even worse than SM?!

It was common among friends to take advantage of each other whenever the opportunity arose. When you see your shot, you take it, you know? Did Red Tower Wizard not know such an obvious fact? Perhaps she didnt have any friends.

Your perception is the one thats weird!

Then what do you think a friend is?

Relying on and leading each other. If I stagger, they would catch me, and if Im sad, they would comfort me, and they would help me find meaning in life, and would promise to leave the village someday toge.

The expression of Red Tower Wizard became dreamy. Though I wasnt sure who she was thinking of, it was obviously the expression of a princess waiting for her prince on a white horse. From what I could observe, it seemed more like a real experience than a fantasy.

I left a straightforward review.

Sounds to me like youre looking more for a lover than a friend.

Hes a friend, okay?!

Looking into the eyes of Red Tower Wizard, I could swear, with 120% certainty, that she had fallen in love. I dont know who it may be, but he must have been like a protagonist out of a fairy tale.

Anyway, how did you even get into the Academy? They dont usually let outsiders in.

What do you mean how? Because Im a Professor, thats how.

Make a more believable lie. What sort of skills do you even have to deserve such a position?

Red Tower Wizard snorted with laughter. I felt a bit wronged. Red Tower Wizard had been right there when I was bickering with Pink-Haired Lesbian. She saw for herself that I had reached the realm of 3 Stars, yet here they were, dissing me?

If you had entered as a student, I could understand. But the Professors at the Academy aside from support courses like medical botany, have all reached the Metamorphosis Realm. Additionally, they would have a renowned specialty or fame and achievements in a particular field that makes them worth hiring for tenure.

Mm.

For example, Professor Alexon, who teaches All Things About Close Combat, has roamed the battlefields across the continent for 40 years, wrote five military strategy books, and was considered the next Mercenary King before his retirement.

Ah, I see. Had it not been for a battle of words, I would have been torn in half.

And what about Professor Alejandro? His Alejandro Spiral Stone Tower is the first spell mentioned in debates about what the strongest defensive magic is. Outsiders may underestimate it as merely maintaining the training grounds, but the fact that the Academys numerous personnel can practice and duel without the training grounds losing its form is.

Ah, I see. Had it not been for a surprise attack, I would have been in danger.

As I listened to Red Tower Wizard drone on and on about someones TMI I had never asked for, I recalled one famous saying.

Youre fucking dogshit. Noob.1a korean meme

What did it matter whether it was a surprise attack, a battle of words, a game of Go, or Othello, if I won? No matter how strong or mighty they were, as long as they didnt fight me again, it was all good. I just needed to eternally maintain a record of 1 win and 0 losses.

While casually ignoring Red Tower Wizards explanation, I asked.

Isnt there still some time left until school starts?

I came early. How could someone think of arriving right on time? If I encountered bandits along the way, I would be delayed by a day or two. Its common for everyone to start arriving around this time.

Then you must have nothing to do?

Seeing this, Red Tower Wizard arrogantly lifted her chin.

I was right, wasnt I?

Certainly.

If all students were this enthusiastic, mere plush and soft healing methods would not cut it.

I crossed out what I had written in my notebook and added Thrilling Otherworld Dungeon Exploration of Nightmares.

Pink-Haired Lesbians pupils trembled as she glanced at my notebook.

===============================================================

The third place she arrived at was the Academys North Gate.

Along the way, Red Tower Wizard passionately listed eleven reasons why Academy students were superhuman.

Initially, I wondered that, since being accepted to the Academy was a victory of a lifetime for a commoner, it led to an excessive fantastical overestimation about the Academy. However, after touring around, it seemed there was some merit to her enthusiasm.

How could they be so diligently preparing even before the school term started?

Beyond the North Gate, a vast forest managed by the Academy stretched out, where monsters suitable for the students levels were deliberately released for cultivation. Practical experience was necessary, after all.

During such a process, apparently, there were occasionally students who slipped up and met their end. To prevent such losses, the Second Prince had dispatched me. After all, with Illusion Magic, one wouldnt die unless it was from a heart attack.

Students with faces as if they had seen it all were heading out to the forest beyond the North Gate. They looked extremely tired and strained. But, from my experiences thus far, I knew underneath those expressions lay a positive driving force and a sense of achievement.

Kill me.. Please

This mutter from the student, too, could actually mean, If I dont break through this wall and reach Metamorphosis right now, Id rather die here. or A young man died here. That was my weaker self of yesterday. Wasnt that the case?

Uh, Mr. Crazy Wizard. SelvierI mean, Red Tower Wizardis only a newly admitted student. Trusting someone who hasnt even experienced the Academy yet is not a good way to go about things.

But weve seen the evidence with our very own eyes.

Yes. We have. We did see it, but there must be circumstances that made it unavoidable. Isnt that so? Even if its for their sake, a Maid Cafe should

I ignored Pink-Haired Lesbians sinister request filled with hidden, wicked desires.

To finish off this tour, I asked Red Tower Wizard.

Q. If we need to provide experience to Academy students, what kind of experiences would be necessary?

Ordeals.

E-Excuse me. Perhaps it would be better for you to refrain from speaking further.

We need ordeals, great trials that can lead to Metamorphosis! If there is anything Academy students lack, it is only that!

Any more would, no, uh excuse me

Ordeals that endlessly oscillate between life and death, overcoming ones limits to resolve difficult situations and adversities!

.

I understand perfectly. That fervent spirit was clearly communicated to me.

If the Academy was a gathering of students shouting a human anthem, then I must provide as much trial and hardship as possible. I tore a page from my notebook and, with firm resolve, wrote the following down.

Otherworld Cthulhu : Centered Around Great Despair and Great Pain.

Pink-Haired Lesbian, who saw my notebook, looked as if she had witnessed something horrific. Almost as if she saw a professor announcing a 100x Increase in Exam Difficulty..

Suddenly, Pink-Haired Lesbian grabbed Red Tower Wizard by the collar.

KYA?!

YOU, Do you realize what you have done!

W-Why are you doing this suddenly?!

You have single-handedly taken away the Academy students sanctuary!

S-So what Im asking is, what do you even mean by that?!

I quietly pondered amidst their bickering. How to realistically convey the terror of cosmic octopuses. What kind of challenges to provide so that the Academys Top Gs would say, This is pleasant because its quite lukewarm!, and rejoice at my machinations.

===============================================================

Inside the Academy, rumors began to circulate about eyewitness accounts of a Purple Tower wizard being carried around by a female butler.

According to the testimony of an Academy student who went to the North Gate for material collection, a catfight between a female butler and a female student over a Purple Tower wizard was witnessed
