The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 5: Realm of an Archwizard

༺ Realm of an Archwizard ༻

In the morning, I finished the orientation for [Introduction to Basic Magic]. The content itself was easy to understand, thanks to having played <Magic Knight of Märchen>. It didn't tell me much, though.

After class, I headed to the student cafeteria for lunch.

"Hey, that person..."

"Is he that Grade E guy from yesterday? Really, how did he get in here?"

"He's not good enough..."

While sitting alone and eating my 50 gel lunch, I could hear the mocking remarks directed at me from another table.

Considering their lack of subtlety, they clearly meant for me to hear everything they were saying.

I felt it before, but it seems the fact that I was a Grade E in mana was spreading among the students.

The academy advocated for a system where the weak were oppressed by the strong, so naturally, students openly looked down on those ranked lower than them.

As a Grade E who scored even lower than Ian Fairytale, who also had the same Grade E mana, this fate was inevitable seeing as how I was the weakest student.

In other words, I can't beat anyone here.

'Let's just ignore it for now.'

Today was the fourth day since I came to this game world and as expected, I couldn't go back to reality even if I fell asleep regularly.

Seeing as how I have to stay here, I shouldn't go and antagonize other students since it would make my academic life difficult. It was best to just ignore them.

I didn't have time to worry about such trivial stuff anyway, I instead had to devote all of my time to training from now on, meaning I had no time to worry about anything else.

This morning, I had some time before my classes for the day started, so I decided to jot down my plans for the future on a piece of parchment paper, recalling my previous memories of playing the game while doing so.

As for my first priority, I was thinking of aiming for the top of this department.

Grades were not only the easiest, but also the most indicative way to measure how strong an individual is, and seeing as how I needed to be the strongest in order to survive, it was imperative that I increased my grades. My ultimate goal was to eventually surpass the top seat, Luce, and I would do what needed to be done in order to achieve said goal.

As a side note, getting low grades wasn't an option since if I failed repeatedly, I would be expelled, kicked out of the academy, and then this world would receive a bad ending.

With that in mind, I planned to go find the legendary weapon, 'Hilde's Frostscythe.'

Hilde's Frostscythe is the final ice attribute weapon, and in the original game, it could be obtained after the second year's second semester. But since I wasn't bound by the story of the game like Ian Fairytale, it didn't matter.

'I want to get it before the end of the first year if possible...'

To obtain Hilde's Frostscythe, I needed to complete the trial given by 'Ice Dragon Hilde', but in order to even think of receiving said trial, I had to first raise my [Ice Attribute Resistance} to 60 at the very least.

I needed to become strong enough to get Hilde's Frostscythe as soon as possible.

According to the setting in the original game, one person could only use up to two kinds of elemental attribute magic, depending on whether or not they were compatible with it and the only exception to this was the power of fairies.
