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

Episode 233 Chapter 48: Start Of School(7)

Start Of School (7)

No matter how many times Stella's practical training sessions get attacked, not every episode follows that pattern.

This particular session, as in the original story, is quite minor and passes without much emphasis.

However, it serves as a turning point in the original game, where traces of villains that will primarily appear in the second semester can be encountered.

Dark wizards, necromancers, witches, and so on.

These dark magic users, each with their own unique hideouts, bear characteristics reflecting their magical affiliations.

Dark wizards prefer 'Black Towers.'

Necromancers use 'Graveyards or Dungeons.'

Witches opt for 'Huts.'

Of course, these are not absolute templates. There have been cases where witches gathered to build a tower, and dark wizards created dungeons quite frequently.

Nonetheless, their hideouts always contain evidence that distinguishes their nature.

"Around a dark wizard's dungeon, you'll always find decayed plants, animal carcasses, and beasts driven mad by their presence..."

Baek Yu Seul, with sleepy eyes, glanced around his surroundings before turning to look at Flame, who was crouched in a corner, rummaging through something.

"What are you doing?"

"I found it. The dungeon entrance."

"Congratulations."

"Why is your reaction so lukewarm?"

Saa-!

The wind blew, rustling the leaves.

It was unusually quiet.

No sounds of mountain birds, no rustling of small animals in the underbrush, not even the sight of insects. It was suspiciously quiet.

"The problem is too easy."

"Hmm, well, that's true."

It's obvious that real dark wizards wouldn't be so conspicuously suspicious. It's clearly a setup tailored to the students' level.

But are all hideouts like this? Certainly not. The hideout meant for Class S is undoubtedly hidden meticulously to be nearly impossible to find.

As obvious as it sounds, Baek Yu Seul has no intention of looking for such things. Haewonryang will likely strive for the highest score, Mayuseoung will follow him around looking for something interesting, and Eisel and Hong Biyeon will fend for themselves.

Wait, in a particular episode, Eisel did find something interesting in this training ground.

But even that didn't immediately lead to a big event.

'...It's boring.'

Nothing is happening.

It's just a routine training session.

Thinking this, Baek Yu Seul's tension completely dissipated. He never intended to take school seriously, but he still needed to get good grades.

It's not about getting expelled from Stella.

What if he saves the world?

If everything becomes peaceful and Baek Yu Seul himself leads a normal life?

'How would you want to live then, and with whom?'

Last night.

Flame had casually asked this question.
