I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 198 Chapter 45: Gambling With Time(1)

Gambling With Time(1)

Clatter, clatter!

Leaning my head against the window, the soft sound of the train rolling vibrates through my mind.

Train travel is full of romance, and as I watched the fantastic scenery whisk by outside, I often lost myself in it without realizing.

Unlike Earth, the world of Aether is filled with diverse and mysterious terrains and plants, ensuring that traveling never bores the eyes.

As I stared blankly out the window, I took a letter envelope out of my backpack. When I turned it over, the words "[Tower of the Setting Moon]" were scrawled in a simple cursive.

The Tower of the New Moon(Manwol Tower).

Even when I dived into the world of ice to meet Blue Moon, it seemed the Manwol Tower had a deep interest in me, to the point of following me. This was quite a burden for me. While having the Manwol Tower as an ally would be incredibly reassuring, if I made an enemy of them, I might never set foot on this land again.

At least for now, I can be somewhat relieved.

The leader of the 13th Extermination group, Kaen, seems to have a positive opinion of me.

This 'invitation' is proof of that.

The Manwol Tower, hidden in the shadows of the world, is not a place just anyone can go.

Even in the original game, Aether World Online, the "Invitation to the Great Manwol Tower" was one of the hardest items to obtain.

An invitation to their headquarters signifies a certain level of trust in me.

I can now begin to relax about this part.

Next, let's talk about the rewards I received for finishing this episode.

[Blessing of Bronze December Lv.1]
(TL: listen guyzzz, I have checked a lot and it turns out that this divine god is really translated as Bronze December. i have been intentionally using Blue Moon to represent him everytime but now sure if that's correct. Also I have been using TS: for translators note, just came to know that TL is the correct short form used .... silly me.. well whatever)

Strength increased by 49%Stamina increased by 21%Senses increased by 19%Cold-blooded: All stats increase by 9% below -17°C, do not feel cold in severe cold, and can move freely in blizzards.Cold Aura: Mana can contain a very pure and cold energy.Snow Trace: Leave no traces on snow or create footprints as you walk.Memory of Snowflakes: Recall traces left in the snow.Frost Bite: Recover stamina by consuming ice, but suffer from high temperatures afterward.

"A snowflake blossomed on the glacier of annihilation will never wither."

I let out a brief exclamation. Although it's only at level 1, the stats are quite usable.

Who would have thought I'd get two of the best blessings in the world already.

There are many hardcore players in the community who, upon obtaining something special, try to maximize their benefits to the extreme.

Among them, there was a player who had achieved the highest level of the Bronze Twelve Moon's Protection, and I was surprised when I saw it at the time.

He had the uncanny ability to turn anything into a snowball when rolled in the snow. Although it was limited, he could also cause a blizzard and freeze an entire small area.

In PVP battles, I often lost because of that special ability that froze my legs.

Well, I eventually found a strategy and won more often later.
