chapter 13
After getting out of the academy principal’s office and walking toward the dormitory, there was a fact that suddenly came to my mind.
“… … cold?”
cold.
Of course, it is still cold in early March. But the problem is not that. How do I feel the cold?
When I checked the tips of my fingers holding the scroll, I could see that they were trembling slightly from the cold.
beginner magic
[Fireball]
Blazing-
When he used the magic, a small fireball was created on his palm.
Among the beginner magic, it is the most usable attack magic.
“It’s warm.”
You can definitely feel that warmth.
Of course, it is not dangerous because the spell to protect the body of the caster is engraved in the magic composition formula.
But you can’t block everything. If the magic triggers at close range, I’ll take a lot of damage too.
Then, how about [Master of Mana], a non-magical skill?
[The Ruler of Mana Lv. One]
As soon as the beginner magic [Fire Ball] is confirmed, the next skill is used to unfold the magic.
While feeling the horror of the mana being cut into chunks, he confirmed the magical shape that appeared with his fingertips.
[stun gun]
Brain-attribute beginner magic used by N-class wizards.
It is a magic that inflicts paralysis with a low probability along with weak brain-attribute damage to the opponent.
“Whoa… … .”
Pajijik——!
I made up my mind and fired the [stun gun] toward the palm of my other hand. Sparks fly with a loud sound.
But I wasn’t sick or paralyzed.
“Then finally… … .”
beginner magic
[stun gun]
Instead of [Mana Master], I used my ability to cast beginner magic and cast magic on my palm, just like I did earlier.
If it wasn’t for the same magic, you couldn’t make an accurate judgment.
* * *
Experiment result.
I learned a lot of great facts.
I proved that the magic I created with [The Ruler of Mana] doesn’t hurt me.
To be precise, it would be to prevent something that falls under ‘damage’.
It could be said that it is very close to the game system.
Even the magics in the game, no matter how flashy and powerful the effects are, do not harm themselves or their allies.
[The Curse of the Icecap] was like that, and [Petit Breath] was like that too.
I don’t know the standards of my allies, but at least I won’t be damaged by myself.
This is more useful information than you might think.
It means that a wizard can completely crush the common sense that large-scale magic cannot be used in close proximity.
Other than that, I got some little information.
It may have been because it was triggered in close proximity, but the effect of the [Stun Gun] was not as bad as I thought.
thrilling
Apart from being sick, my body was paralyzed.
Even if it’s a beginner’s probability, it doesn’t seem like it can be ignored unconditionally.
Or maybe I’m just out of luck. … … Something seems to be the latter.
Well, it will depend on how you use it in the future.
“… … What the hell is Master doing?”
As I lay on the cold floor, someone approached me.
As you can tell from the title, it was Eleanor, the seed of our interest.
“Experiment.”
“Is this a human experiment? Being like a mad scientist isn’t bad either. It can grab people’s attention tremendously. Still, wouldn’t it be better to stop using your own body as a test subject?”
“If that’s enough to come out of your mouth, you should stop.”
For now, my body has durability between N and R grades.
But the mana factor I had was too high.
Even N-rank magic came out as powerful as R-rank.
In the future, I’ll have to experiment with a strong friend.
“Where is it? Wake up, Master. I will help you.”
“What happened to you is that even the way you support is unique… … .”
“Ahem!”
not a compliment
Eleanor slung me over one shoulder like a prey she had just hunted. Maybe it’s because he’s an R-rank warrior, so he doesn’t even feel the shaking. trustworthy
“What classes do you take, Master?”
“What do you do knowing that? If it’s not a common class anyway, there won’t be any overlap.”
“From the way you speak, I don’t think you’ll be popular with women.”
“You talk too much… … .”
The curriculum of <Skientia> varies depending on the field each student applied for. On the subject of wearing a school uniform, the curriculum is university.
Of course, you can also learn about subjects in other fields. However, it is less specialized and more basic than the subject you major in.
Literally, it is only at the level of education.
“Doesn’t Master take close combat classes?”
“No, I plan to learn basic combat skills.”
The final boss of Chapter 1 of the main story is Gerard Oren, a professor of basic combat arts.
In order to get information about his fighting style in advance, it would be better to learn basic combat skills.
And here’s the information we just got. It’s hard to expect a visible effect, but you’ll be able to bring out the variables of [Master of Mana] to the maximum.
“Since your teacher is aspiring to be a mage, you can only learn basic combat skills, right? Then why don’t you learn from me?”
“Do you give grades too?”
“Nope… … .”
“That’s it.”
Rather, it seems that the paralysis has been lifted. I’m still numb, but I think I can move.
“Noah, drop me off now.”
“Yeah? Why me?”
“… … ?”
It wasn’t like he was trying to be considerate of me. It was a choice of words that corresponded to an extremely self-centered feeling.
“why… … ?”
“You’re thinking of going back if I drop you off, right? play with me a little more Being alone is lonely.”
“I won’t go back, so drop me off… … .”
“… … I do not like it.”
“Why?”
“… … .”
Please answer something.
* * *
On the second day, all classes started normally.
When I think about the fact that I only had an orientation on the first day, it was a very tiring situation.
However, if you do this for a long time, you will get used to it. It always has been.
“Then, today’s class ends here… … .”
Before we knew it, it was the 4th period of the common class.
Common classes were mainly simple classes such as math and literature.
It is a class that has nothing to do with combat like magic or combat skills.
“Do you have any questions?”
At the same time as the question, everyone’s eyes turned to one place.
It was where Eleanor was sitting.
Eleanor, the seed of interest, was sitting in the front seat as if it were natural.
By the way, I’m in the back seat where it’s easy to keep an eye on everyone.
sigh-
At the professor’s last question, with less than five minutes left in class, Eleanor tries to raise her hand.
Tak-!
And Lucia, who was sitting next to him, grabbed it and took it down.
During the previous third period, Eleanor unconditionally raised her hand to that question.
It’s not that I’m curious about anything.
She just wanted to focus everyone’s attention on herself.
And that purpose has been accomplished very well. If negative attention doesn’t matter, it’s a success.
“Aww, Lucia. betraying me… … .”
“… … Noah? I want to spend my lunch break leisurely.”
“uh… … yes… … .”
Lucia is straight.
At first glance, it was to the extent that I could see the original appearance rather than acting.
Is that okay? No, if it was her, she might be mixing her original self in that way.
The eyes of the students, who were stained with anxiety, turned in an instant and focused on Lucia.
“Uh, wook?!”
Lucia bowed her head.
But her tail rose high up into the sky as opposed to her head.
Are you uncomfortable with other people’s attention?
this is true… … . Contrary to its appearance, it is a timid cat.
“Well?”
For a moment, Eleanor’s eyes met.
She was looking around as if she was dissatisfied with the gaze away from her, but as soon as our eyes met, she immediately looked forward. Are you angry?
Maybe it’s because I finally got away from her last night and went back alone.
Still, I couldn’t help it.
It was cold, but hanging like that seemed like frozen meat collected on a really winter day.
Unexpectedly, because she has a dark inside, she may be creating a situation where she is just angry.
“Then first… … .”
Well, either way, I don’t have time to play with Eleanor or Lucia right now.
I asked for your understanding in advance to skip this afternoon’s major class, Intermediate Magical Science.
I was a little sad to see Professor Aira happy, but since I had done something, I just decided to understand.

What I am wearing in the mirror is a robe that reminds me of the night sky.
[Robe of the Starry Sky]
Constellations were painted in white on a black cloth.
The only constellation I know is the Big Dipper. I don’t know about the rest.
“Now I am a 6-year-old… … ?”
It was a sudden thought after returning to the dormitory and putting on my special robe that I had taken with me when I ran away from Spellage.
The basic rating of Oz, the SSR rating, was 5 stars (★★★★★).
However, in the game, if you level up your character and make and equip it with exclusive equipment, your star goes up.
At that time, the character’s illustration changes to a form that has been elaborated, and the clothes worn by school student characters like Oz have changed from school uniforms to clothes that fit the atmosphere of each character.
As a side note, the background was drawn to match the mood.
And now I’m wearing a 6-star Oz outfit.
In other words, the clothes I am wearing have one star difference.
“Hmm… … .”
Oz’s exclusive equipment is quite outstanding. It greatly increased defense and magic resistance, and gave additional coefficients to all magic.
one star? No, considering the tail of the [Master of Mana] I’m using right now, I’d rather give it three stars.
It shouldn’t have been a dog-like probability… … .
Please, I hope you can reveal the exact probability because it’s a request.
“It’s like a dog game company.”
* * *
The daily dungeon had the same background as the one seen in the game.
On Tuesday, fire attribute monsters came out, so the background glowed like a lava field.
“Not hot.”
I tried to lightly touch the wall with my fingertips, but in the end it was just a surface.
It wasn’t very hot. As I was thinking about that, [Contemplation] picked up an object approaching me.
It is convenient.
<Broken Sky> did not have an assassin job, but if there was, Oz might not have been treated like a laughing stock.
“What’s on the first floor?”
It is rare for the materials or goods required for a game to be unified into one.
Even materials alone will vary depending on their use, and even goods are divided into free and paid products.
However, the more divided the goods in the game, the more fatigue may occur depending on the supply and demand method.
It often feels like some goods are easy to obtain while others are difficult to obtain.
If it’s a simple RPG game, even that can be considered as content, but in a game where you need to develop multiple characters like a collectible RPG game, it only increases fatigue.
In that case, the method that game companies come up with is usually similar.
One of them is to temporarily release that good through an event. This is mostly just a stopgap measure.
Another way is to have another means of obtaining goods. A typical example of this is the daily dungeon.
In <Broken Sky>, I was able to learn different materials from Monday to Friday. Gold comes out on the weekend.

[Water Ball]
“It was a fire lizard.”
“Kieek!”
I subdue the fire lizard running towards me with beginner magic. It was the same difficulty as expected.
However, the difficulty will increase exponentially the further down the dungeon you go.
The goods that can be obtained will increase accordingly, but my limit right now is probably the 3rd floor. Of course, if you overdo it, you can push it up to the 5th floor.
It is said that the layer that can be wiped out without any damage is the third layer.
beginner magic
[frieze]
The fire lizards approaching me fell into a frozen state all at once.
Due to the correlation of attributes, even if the duration was shortened, the probability of falling into a state abnormality was high.
“It’s absurd that people with bodies of fire are frozen by magic at the level of [Freeze], but… … .”
[Erosion degree 4%]
[Freeze] is probably also classified as a water attribute after all.
The not-so-funny laws of physics are compatible.
[The Ruler of Mana Lv. One]
Chark-
A white fan spread over my hand. The nine spokes forming a fan took the shape of a fox’s tail, and at the end of them, a blue demon’s fire shimmered.
It is the [Blue Fire Line] that corresponds to the advanced magic.
In the game, it was an attack magic used by the SR-rank character [Blue-Eyes Youngho].
The fire lizard is also a fire attribute, so the damage will be halved, but the level of magic is different.
“… … It doesn’t suit Oz because it’s oriental.”
If the empire is a fantasy background, the federation is an oriental style.
Even though it is a country with only one border, the difference in individuality is so clear that it makes me realize again that this is a world inside a game.
It’s a country right next door, so please do some exchanges.
Roaring!
After the status ailment of [Freeze] is lifted, swing your fan at the fire lizards that flock to you.
Like the name of the fan, blue flames come out instead of wind, turning fire lizards to ashes.
“The firepower is good.”
Tak-!
When the fan that has lost its tail is folded again, it disappears like an illusion.
I checked it several times through [Contemplation], but I still can’t understand the principle of [Mana Ruler].
“I think it will be a boss battle soon… … .”
All the fire lizards roaming around were knocked down.
In the first place, the guys on the first floor could defeat even a party made only of N ranks.
“Kieee!!!!”
Soon after, the boss appeared. It is a slightly larger fire lizard.
As I said before, the difficulty of the first floor of the daily dungeon is quite low.
Even an N-rank party can clear it.
“Noisy.”
And my strength is higher than that of an R-ranked warrior character.
“Keeek… … .”

Kwajik!
Step on the head of a madly crawling fire lizard with your foot and smash it.
“Shall we go to the second floor?”
Leaving the corpse of the giant fire lizard behind, step towards the next floor.
There was not a single material item obtained so far.
Unlike the game, it could be that the material doesn’t come out, but it could also be that the drop rate is low because it’s just on the first floor.
So I’ll just check up to the second floor and go back. By the way, the monsters on the second floor are… … .
“Kieek.”
“Everyone is screaming.”
It is a fire lizard.
All the monsters in Nogada Quest are like that.
