The top-scoring students were assigned to Class A, while the lowest-scoring students were assigned to Class D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results of the mana measurement and the class placement evaluation determined which class a student would be assigned to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it was a test determining which class you would belong to for the entire semester, the class placement evaluation was of great importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My top priority was defeating the demons rather than worrying about my ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, all the first-year students of the Magic Department were in Delphine Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the risk of meeting other students soon was high, meaning there was a high probability of an immediate battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the ripple effect brought about by the word ‘survival’ mentioned by the professor. Most students knew that they had to fight when they run into each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang─!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roaaaar—!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaaaaaaa─!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of magic firing and smashing from all directions alerted everyone that the Battle Royale had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a situation, it was only natural for students to band together to not only gain a numerical advantage but to also find mana grains more easily, which was the purpose of this test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was no one merciful enough to team up with me, a person with Grade E mana. If anything, I would be fortunate as long as they didn’t try to take advantage of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I at least rely on Kaya, who has a misunderstanding about my strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…No. There were far too many variables to consider. There was no guarantee that Kaya would help me, and there was also a high risk that my true nature would be revealed, as well as the possibility of her stabbing me in the back for being dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, I had only one choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I think…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll just hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw a tree with thick leaves that looked perfect to hide in, it was the place I decided on after looking around Delphine Forest in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a magic pouch out of my pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Magic Pouch] A small pouch that stores many items using magic. Good portability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank: Tier 6\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank Tier 6. A tier was a unit of measurement for determining the rarity of an item, and the lower the number, the rarer it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a water bottle from my magic pouch and sprayed water on the tree. In addition, I used the [Ice Generation] skill to create a crude ice staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My [Elemental Synergy] was at a rather high level compared to my other stats. The higher the [Elemental Synergy], the greater the effect that would appear when my elemental magic overlapped with another element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to this, I was able to create a bigger block of ice than when I used the [Ice Generation] skill normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped on the ice staircase and finally climbed up the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s comfy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I sat on a thick branch surrounded by a cluster of leaves, I leaned my back against the tree and defrosted the ice staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the only strategy that I, the weakest student could use, ‘fuckin’ hold’1E\u002FN: From what I understand ‘Fuckin’ hold’ is a reference to Starcraft’s Zerg Burrowing Mechanics, basically it means to persevere through anything., but what would I do if other students completely cleared out all the mana grains while I was hiding in a tree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, so I overlooked something in this class placement evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Mana grains are luminescent. When it gets dark, it becomes easier to distinguish with the naked eye.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone with low mana perception, it would be better to go looking for the mana grains later anyways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stayed still and focused on listening to my surroundings, to check if there were any signs of people approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 minutes later, I felt a presence. Someone was coming this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached for a frozen slingshot that I had placed out of sight within the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Slingshot] An ordinary slingshot made of wood and a rubber band. Weak durability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank: Tier 9\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slingshot was fixed by attaching stones to a rubber band and freezing it while stretching the rubber band as far back as it could possibly go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of 10 slingshots were installed and I memorized each location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Defrost.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I loosened the ice that was holding the slingshot rubber band, it turned into blue powder and scattered while the slingshot fired stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whiiiik—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone from the slingshot sliced through the air, cut through the grass, and landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huhhhhh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard the surprised exclamation of a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved her gaze to the stone that had flown out from the grass, and appeared to be rather confident in her abilities as she immediately prepared for a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were now 9 slingshots left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Let’s hold on…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constant tension kept me from getting bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, I only hope that I can hold out until the time is right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>━─━─━━─━「₪」━━─━─━─━\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was dyed the color of the sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the students casting magic had long since faded away, and silence descended upon the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current time was 6:30 PM, and I was still alive, hiding in a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Should I sneak down now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the ‘fuckin’ hold’ strategy worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ended up using all 10 slingshots, but I didn’t see it as a waste since each one performed their role faithfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking out the water bottle from the magic pouch, I poured the remaining water from it on the tree and then used [Ice Generation] to create ice in a cascading fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, it was difficult to control, so a sloppy staircase was created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I carefully climbed downed the icy steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh god.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like forever since I last put my feet on the ground, and my legs were trembling from sitting in the tree for 4 hours. It didn’t help that I still had muscle pain from the gym yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After massaging my legs, I dispelled my magic to remove the ice staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I had to get moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Where are they?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know where Ian and Luce would end up fighting the demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, you would get a cutscene after surviving the class placement evaluation. This was the scene where Ian and Luce first met, and the scenery changed automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I needed to find that location quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky above the barrier was gradually darkening as I moved forward with caution, trying to make as little noise as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I have to look for some mana grains.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was robbed of all my fortune in preparation for the class placement evaluation. If I couldn’t earn enough gel here, I would have no choice but to starve or take out a loan from a bank and become a debtor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So finding any leftover mana grains was also important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘…Did I mess up?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha, damn it, not a single mana grain was visible, the students must have cleared them all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hope of easily finding any remaining mana grains after it had become dark was completely shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had overlooked something, this was the prestigious Märchen Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only natural that the students had excellent mana perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Please, I also need some mana grains…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I became so engrossed in searching for mana grains that I had failed to recognize the sound of small footsteps approaching me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman’s voice rang out in front of me and in an instant, my heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, who had been bending down while searching for mana grains, froze while a drop of cold sweat ran down my cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What do I do, what do I do…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still had some magic tools I purchased before, if I fought using them, it would be possible to overcome the level difference to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the person in front of me had a level in the 30s or 40s, wouldn’t it be worth trying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slowly raised my head and looked at the female student standing in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kaya Astrean]Lv:90\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Race:Human\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elements:Wind, Ice\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger:X\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.

It was impossible for me to defeat her, even if I used every trick up my sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she currently thought of me as a ‘powerful man who had attained the level of an Archwizard, but was concealing his power.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s think and act calmly, if I use that fact to my advantage, I might be able to get out of here safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had always been confident in my acting skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I consequently narrowed my eyes and spoke in a cold, authoritative tone, as if I were revealing my true colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I acted as if I wasn’t nervous at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…! Yes, pardon me…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya trembled and moved out of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, I just had to move on like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started walking slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A feeling of relief washed over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m glad nothing went wrong…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, Sir Isaac…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Kaya called me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What is ‘Sir’ Isaac?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t expect her to use such an embarrassing honorific, but then I thought it was only natural considering what Kaya thought of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly composed myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped and looked back at Kaya with a cold expression, and heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, this is still a test so… Why don’t we fight…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, to Sir Isaac, who has reached the level of an Archwizard, someone like me would be akin to an ant under the ground… But even then, I still wish to fight you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, don’t do that, relax your determined expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please do me this favor, Sir Isaac!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, don’t deploy your magic circle, it’s not like we already agreed to fight, so get rid of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘In another 20 minutes, the demon will appear…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I knew it, the test clock was pointing at 6:40 PM which meant I needed to quickly find where the demon would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite my pleas, Kaya’s light green magic circle deployed in the air was slowly spinning toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she was afraid of me, the second seat was burning with a desire to fight against the gigantic existence known as an Archwizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am weak, I have Grade E mana, the lowest grade!

What could I tell her in order for her to dispel her magic circle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t just say that I was the one in charge of the demons. No matter how hard I try, I couldn’t even imagine how much of a headache that would become for me in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what I can do… What can I take advantage of…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know if this will work, but let’s give it a shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That magic circle looked dangerous, no matter how I looked at it, but I stared at Kaya with the most amused expression I could muster, and similarly, Kaya was looking at me with a dubious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this has already happened, it was all or nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I crossed my arms and looked at the pale green magic circle that Kaya deployed in the air as if it were pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With only that kind of magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya’s eyes widened in shock. What I said must have hurt her feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only that kind…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re wasting your time right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying, murderous feeling came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please don’t kill me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you are an amazing person. But… what you said just now ignores all the blood, sweat, and tears I’ve put in…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I mean, ‘for now.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation changed quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt my life fading away. Perhaps Kaya was trying to figure out what I meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re close with ‘Sylphia,’ right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylphia, the Emerald Fairy. It was the name of a fairy who used plant magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“H-how did you know that…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I can sense the aura of [Yggdrasil] from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I didn’t look at her, I could feel that Kaya was very surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of [Yggdrasil]? What’s that? I was just bluffing. How could I sense that when I couldn’t even sense mana grains?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Kaya was on good terms with Sylphia, the Emerald Fairy. It was a secret that only she knew, and couldn’t be found out by anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also wore the ‘Seed of Yggdrasil’ she received from Sylphia as a necklace around her neck. Kaya had to keep the seed with her at all times in order to access its plant mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, it appeared to be a regular seed, but unlike a regular seed, it was constantly condensing mana rather than emitting it, making it difficult to detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering her second year, she became fully attuned to the plant mana. Later on, she was able to use the ‘Seed of Yggdrasil’ as a catalyst to cast the 8-star plant spell [Yggdrasil], which contained both a fairy’s power and the capability to destroy a nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only I, who was familiar with the future, could say this now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems to be quite recognizable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you know Sylphia?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t answer on purpose and kept my eyes closed, pretending to reminisce about a great past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Your true value will be revealed in the future. When that happens, if you become someone worth my time, I’ll face you one day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, I started walking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know what kind of expression Kaya was making behind me, and I didn’t know what thoughts were racing through her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter. What really mattered was the little noise caused by the magic circle subsided and then disappeared. Kaya had dispersed her magic circle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile leaked out from the corners of my mouth. It was relief at being alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was bluffing like a middle schooler, but I was glad things worked out anyway…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Isaac.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, not again, why, why!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to pretend I hadn’t heard, but Kaya called out once more, “Sir Isaac!” and forced me to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you here ‘pretending to be weak’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, that was a question worth asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though, I was really just weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Kaya’s eyes, I was pretending to be a weakling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that’s easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one response I could give here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You don’t need to know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was it. In this situation, the typical response from the other person would be to just remain silent and nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, I started walking again. As expected, Kaya didn’t call out to me again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a while, when I looked back, she was out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wheeeeeew—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a very, very deep sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiyaaa~ I’m alive! I’m not dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was lucky. Hmm, it’s really awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now was not the time to be immersed in the joy of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I calmed down and steeled myself. I needed to find the place where the demon would appear, as well as where Ian and Luce would meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where are you? Where?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I found a mana grain. Let’s pick it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I brought my watch near it, the mana grain flew off the stone like a firefly and stuck itself to the watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘There are only 10 minutes left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was currently 6:50 PM, meaning the demon would appear in 10 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I retraced my steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only clue I had was that the demon would appear in an empty lot with a low cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked around Delphine Forest yesterday, but I couldn’t find an area that matched that description due to the forest being so large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will most likely be difficult to find it in time. If so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived at a stream that I had memorized the location of during my preliminary search. I could see the sky clearly from here, no matter how dense the trees were in the Delphine Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I took a look at my wristwatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘7 o’clock…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark blue hue dyed the sky as the sunset faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the demon should have appeared in front of Ian and Luce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a waste of time to wander around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s put the search for mana grains aside for a moment. My number one priority is to avoid a bad ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided to stay where I was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, when Ian and Luce begin to fight the demon, there would be a significant scale of magic involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just needed to head to the location where the spells were being cast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was entirely possible for me to move further away from the fight if I were to continue wandering around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s wait a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a little bit…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the forest, which was gradually turning dark, I stood still and held my breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KUUUUUUUU─────!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I jerked my head in the direction of the roar. Since I was near a stream, there were no trees blocking my view, making the loud noise easily identifiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp pillar of ice rose a short distance away. The pillar was pitch black rather than the cool blue normal ice would have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others may have been unaware, but I was certain that an ice spell with the darkness element had been cast. It was, without a doubt, the magic of demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice pillar instantly disintegrated into black powder and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hurried towards the location where the black ice pillar had risen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please hold on until I arrive, Ian! It would be even better if you win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa. Where are you going in such a hurry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ughhhh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What is it, huh. Aren’t you a lowly commoner with Grade E mana?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tristan Humphrey]Lv:71\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Race:Human\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elements:Wind\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger:Medium\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who stood in my way was Tristan Humphrey, a high-ranking freshman, and a conceited blonde aristocrat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to playing ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱ so much, I kept all the characteristics of the main characters in my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My level was 26, the level difference between me and this guy was 45, but… If I did my best, I think I could beat him. I wasn’t sure about others, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s take him down quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’ll be passing through now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I accelerated the flow of mana in my body, warming up my ice mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footnotes:\u003C\u002Fp>",3163,"2026-06-05T21:55:37.647Z",1,"novelbin.me","cbf18e66e731a61af9ee328d1182dd8df3c30556e5a00431a44b424271f90869","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-65","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-64",377,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-cover.jpg"]
