153 – There are exceptionally gloomy days
#One
The day was bright.
Today is Friday.
It was also the day when the evaluation was conducted to end April.
Originally, around this time of year, students were either excited or irritable.
The question is what will come out?
How much have other friends studied?
Because it was a time when I felt the emotions of things like how are you feeling today?
However, today the academy atmosphere was particularly sluggish.
“Kale! did you sleep well?”
“no. I’m sleepy-“
A redhead appeared next to Cale, who was absent-mindedly going to school.
It was Anais, who was struggling with the issue of student council elections these days.
She also had a pretty dark face.
I don’t know what would change if I put a dot on my beautiful face, but it felt like the overall atmosphere had changed and the impression had also changed.
Pearson said he had something to prepare first, so he went to school first.
“Did you hear that too? Senior… … .”
“… … He would never be that kind of person.”
“Yeah, I know. It’s not a skill that can only go up with drugs.”
Probably everyone who knew him in detail felt it.
Everyone would shake their heads if you asked if cheap drugs like black rum could make you like Manus.
Still, things were going badly.
Horrible rumors circulated in the girls’ dormitory.
Things like whether he was abandoned by his family or whether he had been cheating on everyone all along.
It didn’t come to the extent of swearing that I couldn’t bear to say, but the people who usually looked at him with respect became more energetic.
“The disciplinary committee… … . Shall we go see the chairman?”
“Let’s go after the evaluation.”
Cale nodded.
If you are the chairman, you may be able to help.
Anyway, since I have to go through the evaluation, I should calm down now.
After Professor Mia disappears, what problems will arise?
I heard that the professors split up the magic-related problems this time.
Anyway, senior… … Can I see this evaluation well?
“ha-.”
A day where only sighs come out.
Can I safely take the evaluation today?
And, what about seniors?
Worries dripping from your steps.
The two of them walked around the campus in silence.
Today, there were a lot of eyes that stuck to me.
Probably because he went with Manus.

thump-!
The door of the chairman’s office shook violently today.
Director Nix heard the sound of people rushing for him through the door.
He rubbed his temples with his fingertips and sighed.
How many times is it already?
Yesterday and today have been really busy days since I assumed the position of president of the academy.
In particular, the visits of professors were really frequent.
I’d rather do the paperwork alone.
“-Come in.”
“Excuse me. Chairman.”
“Student Alano, welcome. Maybe a student… … ?”
“you’re right. I came to ask about the Manus gun.”
“after… … That’s right too. I don’t doubt the former Manus student. The judgment and skills he showed, and even the leadership that leads you. It wasn’t just abilities that could be created with drugs.”
“then… … .”
Hope flashed in Alano’s eyes.
However, the next words of the chairman made Alano unable to hide his disappointment.
ejaculation of adults.
Laws to follow procedures.
The reality that she had no choice but to endure the annoying things she knew hit her hard.
The expression of the director of the Nix was also not good.
“The disciplinary committee will still open. I can’t stop that either.”
“Manus will consider it a great insult.”
“I can’t help it. Because that is the academy rule.”
Allano sighed.
rule.
Yes, he himself was a person who valued rules, so he knew the importance.
It was believed that everyone could keep order under the rules.
They did not know that rigid laws and procedures would become shackles and bind them.
They were even more embarrassed because they were proud.
she asked quietly.
“If you can’t prove Manus’ innocence, will you wait for the chairman?”
“… … I don’t know yet.”
“He is the focal point of our club members. Without him, we wouldn’t be able to save the world.”
Allano said strongly.
Her tone was confident, implying that others were of the same opinion.
After all, wasn’t Manus the one who gathered everyone in the club?
If he suddenly disappears, it will not simply be a problem of low morale.
The chairman was also aware of that part.
Manus was no ordinary student.
Right now, he was an indispensable force.
“Well sir. We have to avoid the worst.”
“Even if he doesn’t, he will prove his innocence.”
Alano said the last words with his eyes shining.
She trusted Manus like stone.
Seeing the silver pocket watch quiver, Alano lowered his head.
“Then, I’ll be on my way.”
“is it so.”
The director of Nix stared blankly at Alano’s back.
He didn’t say anything until the door closed, and he sighed quietly.
Something I wouldn’t have cared about just two months ago.
What Manus has done was enough to gather someone’s malice.
However, two months later, it was different.
He is an indispensable talent, and has become an indispensable presence in overcoming disasters and uncovering secrets.
I heard that many crises were overcome thanks to Manus.
The state of the children right now can’t be said.
‘It’s fortunate that today is evaluation day.’
He swallowed a sigh and looked at the golden letter on one side.
How could a man called the emperor be so ignorant?
I looked at the calendar.
Midterms were approaching.
This and that, things were overlapping, and his head was messed up.
Anyway, time will continue to flow.
In the passing time, how will the big incident end?
The wrinkles deepened between his brows.

Manus ignored the sticky gaze.
The seething mindset encouraged them to punish them immediately, but they did not.
It’s still time to remain silent, and we need to gather the audience for a twist.
I deliberately put mana in my ears to block out the sound.
Without averting his gaze, he maintained a more graceful gait.
They would swear at them from behind, but none of them dared to speak out in front.
‘Shouldn’t it be well evaluated?’
Nothing has been confirmed yet, whether it be expulsion or discipline.
At least today’s evaluation can be done on an equal footing.
Being well evaluated will also help you claim your innocence.
Because if you’re not an idiot, you simply won’t think about it.
‘The image can be inverted at once. No matter how trashy he looked, his perception quickly changed.’
It was like that when I think of Korea.
Celebrities or politicians who have been in a lot of gossip.
When the hidden good story is revealed and articles saying ‘It was actually like that’ are pouring in, the bad image is bound to change to a good one.
The overall image that moves the public is originally like that.
No matter what the reality is, as long as you care about your external image, there is no problem in attracting love.
He never thought he would be in that position, but it was time to put to use what he had learned over his shoulder.
by the way… … .
‘I don’t think the assistant would have planned something like this. Even though there’s a big age difference, is it like that?’
I didn’t care what feelings he had when he did it.
Why did I touch myself who was still when I touched it… … .
Manus sat down in a seat that had been changed to a test formation.
There is still quite a bit of time until the exam begins.
The 6th class that caught the edge of knowledge.
I was constantly trying to materialize it.
The amount of knowledge in Class 6 was vast, and even Caesar could not easily reach it.
If you pursue it leisurely, you will reach it someday.
I believed that if I lived fiercely every day, I would reach it suddenly.
Now, the knowledge in front of him was more valuable than the gaze around him.
“Manus. Wait, are you okay?”
“Did you pass the dungeon safely?”
“I’m there, what are you worried about? So are you okay?”
A shadow fell and I looked up to see Nia looking at me with a worried look.
Not pity or pity, pure concern.
In the meantime, I thought I knew a little bit about Nia, but since I crossed the line, did you feel agitated?
I doubt it, I’ll definitely find out, etc. I’ve been living with my mouth, but I’m worried, right?
So Manus couldn’t hold back his laughter.
As always, there was a smile that captivated everyone.
Nia looked at him and pouted.
“Seeing that you have the energy to smile, you seem to be okay.”
“Thank you for your concern. Please save your words as much as possible.”
“… … why? Do you have any thoughts?”
Manus nodded.
He had no intention of hiding it even from his colleague.
Nia, who saw that, nodded in response.
I guess it’s also called Manus.
If it were me, I would have run amok and found the culprit.
He would never be able to tolerate anyone trying to do it for himself.
It would have been unbearable to insult the Abrel family, which is close to the great family.
“Anyway, I’ll be quiet. Good evaluation.”
“yes. You don’t have to worry.”
“I’m fine, but the other kids aren’t? Please read a little more later.”
“I see.”
I think it’s past the time to take care of things like this.
I’ll have to see the situation though.
he got up from his seat
There’s still some time left, so I’ll just have to make sure I don’t spoil the rating.
I ignored the gaze that followed me every time I took a step and headed down.
Sophomores will do it on their own, and juniors in the first year felt the need to improve their mentality.
One reason he goes.
‘Because I don’t want the kids to suffer because of me.’
15 years old.
They were still young friends.
What did I do when I was in my second year of middle school?
It was the time when you went to PC cafes with the kids, maybe?
Even though the environment is different, I don’t think I’ll have a mature ego enough to decide where to break.
I may look like an old man, but I have lived a little longer, so I have a lot of advice.
There are things you can see because you went through that period.
Maybe I can give the children who are wandering around centered.
[Interference has begun.]
‘Yes, this is definitely interference.’
This is the real interference.
In my young mind, I had shed the words the adults said.
I never thought that their careless words were interference that would change my life.
However, since it is said by people of the same age, you will be able to empathize with them as well.
Originally, the words of a senior speak more than the words of a father or mother.
It was a day I was thankful for living in the same generation.
“-senior?”
A welcome voice was heard.
When I ran into him, I saw trembling eyes, as if I had 50,000 thoughts.
It’s obvious what you’re thinking.
However, she strode forward without fear of Manus.
I could see in his eyes that he wanted to know the truth, and that he firmly believed in Manus.
Manus opened his mouth.
I didn’t want her to feel betrayed.
And, I don’t want her to be shaken because of him.
