Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

74 – 10,000 and 96 times.

At last, the morning of the subjugation preliminary round has dawned.

The musicians’ music fills the school grounds, and the entire Merchen Academy is soaked in a festive atmosphere.

“Sir Plan…. Sir Plan…. I don’t see it today. Where are you~ Sir Plan~”

Meanwhile, Yoo Shia is busy walking around the campus.

Adventurers, Wizards of the Mage Tower, Merchants, Imperial Family officials…. The human group currently gathered at the academy is diverse.

All of this was just magical in Yusia’s eyes.

“Can I have a drink already? Aren’t you sleeping during the game?”

“But…. How to bear Are you patient?”

“That’s right. I can’t stand it.”

Despite the fact that the sun had just risen, it was noisy with the sound of eating and drinking. Yusiah overdoes the scent that stimulates the appetite.

Her current interest is flan.

“There are too many people. Princess, if you need anything, it would be better if we procure it.”

Yoo Shia is not alone today. She has the Imperial Treasurer stick by her side disguised as an ordinary tourist.

But the girl taps the name tag on my chest.

“Treasurer? I am also an academy student.”

“Yes. But you must not forget that she is the third princess.”

“I won’t forget, but I will be a student today!”

No matter how treasurer he was, he couldn’t defeat her princess, so the treasurer finally sighed and stayed by Yusia’s side.

“Newspaper~ Newspaper~”

Someone is handing a newspaper to the walking students. Yusia also accepted one.

[The Faculty of Magic with no countermeasures…. ‘Flan Disappearance’ ]

“Where the hell is Sir Plan….”

The girl let out a deep sigh. She wanted to meet her in person and give her a word of encouragement before the preliminaries started.

“Treasurer.”

“Yes, Princess.”

“The treasurer will join me in finding Sir Plan.”

“Yes….”

The treasurer reluctantly nodded.

Plans, Plans, Plans…. A name that was mentioned several times even in the imperial family. Now I’m about to get scabs in my ears.

But then.

“Did you walk? Did you walk as I said?”

“Hey! Bet mine while you bet!”

Yoo Shia’s footsteps stopped in front of an exceptionally crowded store. The sign read ‘prediction’.

“Oh….”

This shop, which was specially built only during the Punishment Festival, was in fact a legal gambling place that predicted victory or defeat, but it was enough to attract the interest of the third princess.

“Prediction…. What are you predicting….”

Yusia muttered while sticking her head out, but two of her male students clung to her.

“If you’re a freshman, you might not know~ Shall we tell you something?”

“If you do what you are told, you will win money unconditionally. Would you like to listen?”

However, their selfish pursuit was quickly stopped.

“….”

Seeing the lifeless look in the treasurer’s eyes, the two of them quickly retreat in sweat.

“There are so many people…. How fun!”

Thanks to the treasurer’s assistance, Yusia was able to outrun her people. When she came to her senses, she was in the front row.

[ Prediction of the final ranking in the preliminary round of the subjugation event ]

[Prediction of detailed results of the preliminary round of the subjugation event]

[Prediction for Preliminary Hunting]

Yoo Shia’s sparkling eyes examine the types carefully. There were a total of three items.

The girl asked the store owner.

“Hey, how do you do this?”

Then, she looked around at Yoo Shia with her strange eyes. That would be true, Yusia was probably the only one who didn’t know the rules here.

The store owner replied slyly.

“You can predict just one, and if you match all three together, you get an additional dividend.”

“Oh! Then I’ll tie the three together.”

At the same time, the treasurer’s expression became dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, Yusia had already received the three pieces of paper.

The treasurer whispered hastily.

“Princess…. Are you thinking of participating in… ?”

“Yes. It’s nobody else’s match, sir flan.”

“Wouldn’t it be enough just to cheer? This thing is highly speculative. You should stay away.”

Yusia, however, picked up her pen with her steadfastness. There is no hesitation in the movement of choosing her items.

Before long, she handed the paper to the shopkeeper.

“Let’s see. No, what kind of prediction….”

The shop owner, who received the paper, narrowed his brows. She looks at Yoo Shia in bewilderment.

“The Faculty of Magic advanced to the finals as the final 1st place, the detailed result was a win against four siblings, and the hunting time was less than 10 minutes per stage…. Are you really going to do this?”

With those words, the noisy shop became a little quiet.

Eyes that look like they’re joking, eyes that don’t know the world, eyes that are full of curiosity…. All of that was directed towards Yusia.

The treasurer asked urgently first.

“Hey, what happens to the dividend if we keep going like this?”

“The dividend….”

The shop owner bounced the abacus at high speed.

“10,96 Times. If all three hit, it is 10,96 times.”

10,096 Times.

… In other words, it was said to be impossible.

Loud laughter erupted from all around.

“If you have too much money, give it to me.”

“Hey~ Even if you hang one gold coin, you get 10,000. Ten thousand.”

Is there anything more fun than watching someone else lose money? A look of anticipation appeared on their faces.

Anticipation of how much Yoo Shia will lose her money.

The person involved in the uproar calmly offered something.

“Here, gold coins.”

It wasn’t just a few gold coins, it was a package. The mouths of the onlookers gaped at the unbelievably large amount offered by a freshman.

“I bet that much… ?”

“How serious are you?”

“It’s no use crying and screaming later.”

The inside of the store suddenly becomes noisy. Surprisingly, the shop owner was the same.

“What bundle of gold coins….”

Surprised was the shop owner as well. Soon, he shook his head and returned the bundle of gold coins.

“Such a large dividend is unacceptable here.”

The attitude of the shop owner who responded like that was a bit polite.

“Then, how many bets can I make?”

“If you multiply 10,096…. One. Just one.”

Yusia then took out a gold coin from her pack.

“Here it is!”

In those golden eyes, her sincerity shone.

◈

Hwajung World, 1:59.

“Ah…. Ah….”

Becky slumps to the floor.

“Aigoo…. I’m dying….”

“Would you like some water?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay…. I don’t even have the strength to drink water….”

Ivan offered water, but Becky shook her head.

Later, I lay down on the floor. With this, Becky also completed ‘Exercise the Magic Thousand Times’ instructed by Plan.

“Annoying.”

“Ahahahaha…. In the end, all three of them did it. A thousand times.”

Trixie spit out with a dissatisfied expression, and Louis nodded with a light smile.

“… The training intensity of wizards is enormous.”

Ivan muttered softly. Plan answered right away.

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s difficult by boat. Rather than what the knights think.”

“I only found out now. Reflect like this once again.”

Ivan nodded quietly. Today, she was invited by Plan to visit the Chinese World.

She came here with the intention of cultivating herself, but suddenly she also watched the training of other wizard students.

Plann clicked her tongue as he looked at the three of them.

“Do you have a bit of a sense about the apparitions now?”

Cool tone as usual. The three students immediately nodded.

Starting at 1:58, they memorized the theory that Plan had written down.

Thanks to the summons that acted like real humans, this process was quite easy. So, I somehow managed to get this world to reach 1:59….

Who would have imagined that the next schedule would be ‘A Thousand Manifestations’.

… But did it again

A thousand times. Not ten times, not a hundred times, but a thousand times. I couldn’t come if I didn’t feel like coming.

Becky looked at her palm in disbelief.

“A thousand times is really amazing…. I thought I wouldn’t be able to achieve this speed of expression for the rest of my life….”

A theory, a drawing technique based on it, and a manifestation.

I can now do these three things as if they were one movement. It’s an achievement I couldn’t even imagine.

Louis opened her mouth cautiously.

“Flan, I know what you want to tell me. Seize the upper hand with the expression of overwhelming speed. Is that so?”

“On top of that, I need to add chastity.”

Flan added.

“A pure element that manifests itself very quickly. If you have this one, you don’t really need a follow-up.”

“Ummm….”

Louise gave her a soft nod.

Plan’s words were extremely right this time as well, concisely pointing out the essentials.

Why would you need a follow-up if you can deliver a powerful blow very quickly? You should have already won.

“Okay, flan.”

But Lewis still had doubts.

“I will do what you say. But I also wonder how much time we have left. Even now, the time of the outside world is not going to flow.”

He shook his head at the end of his speech.

“No, I need to change the question. How much time is left…. More than anything.”

Louis’ expression was serious.

“Can we be like that before the preliminaries?”

It was a realistic question.

I’ve never studied so effectively or done my best in my life, but…. The fact that the preliminaries for the subjugation were just around the corner was another matter.

No matter how well you grow, if you don’t meet the deadline, you will eventually drop out.

“… Did you listen to what I said?”

“Hmm?”

Plan answered calmly.

“Today’s training is until 2 o’clock, there is no change.”

“When is two o’clock? I still don’t know how time flows in this world.”

“Could you explain it as simply as possible?”

Flan gave Ivan a chin.

“When you draw at least a draw against Ivan.”

“Ivan?”

“The two poems come then.”

Becky’s mouth fell open.

Doesn’t that mean you’re going to have a sparring with Ivan?

A draw against Ivan, who is called the Flash Knight? Sweat started pouring out of my body like a fountain.

“Over there.”

Trixie intervened this time.

“But why are you helping me?”

Her eyes were on Ivan. It was a short question, but it wasn’t hard to guess the intention.

Why is Ivan, the knight faculty, helping them? That’s what it meant, and everyone understood it.

This may be a sensitive and rude question. Also, it may be a difficult question.

But.

“… I just want to become stronger.”

With a faint smile, Ivan answered just like that.

Even in that short word, I could feel the great determination, and the expressions of the three wizards became a little resolute.

They must also do their best to be polite.

“From now on, we will go into the final training.”

After checking everyone’s eyes, Flan opened her mouth.

“But, since it’s the last time, we can’t cut corners.”

His red eyes turned to Ivan.

“Ivan, have you ever killed someone?”

◈

In the inner hallway of the Magic Faculty Dormitory, the journalists who were former wizards stayed up all night here.

The reason, of course, was because of only one flan.

It’s like this because it’s inside the building, but the situation outside is even more bloody.

The outside of the building is full of journalists. It looked like beasts of prey had camped out in front of the rabbit hole.

“….”

A drop of sweat runs down Sepia’s forehead.

The conductor next to him parted his lips.

“Hey, Manager.”

“Why?”

“The subjugation system is far more important than combat, right?”

“You said that now….”

Sepia cursed at the conductor with her eyes.

The victory of the Faculty of Magic in the combat category was certainly a monumental event. It was a long, long dark period, because a ray of light suddenly fell there.

‘But it’s still not enough.’

There is still a long way to go.

One ray of light must be nurtured into light.

The academy, all kinds of commercial districts, the imperial family…. It would be a big step if we can achieve results in this big event where everything is intertwined.

That’s why it’s so important.

It’s incredibly important….

I proudly declared the championship….

‘Flan.’

Sepia’s head is all about him.

“Three days…. He doesn’t come out of the room….”

Sepia murmured dejectedly.

The representatives of the Faculty of Magic didn’t show up at all for three days. There was no training ground, not even a meal.

The conductor seemed to have already been liberated.

“Chief, I think we are in ruins.”

“Shh! Don’t talk like that… !”

“The situation is like that. No, all three days….”

“Stop. Okay, so stop talking.”

I put my hand on my sepia throbbing forehead.

All representatives are in Plan’s room. Even Ivan, a knight undergraduate, is there.

How the hell am I supposed to accept this situation….

But then.

“The door, the door is open!”

Shouted one of the reporters. At that cry, the people waiting like fallen weeds jumped up from their seats.

“Flan! Find flanman!”

“How did you do the questionnaire? Didn’t you take it?”

“Flan student! Hey, flan student!”

But after a while.

“What, what is crazy….”

“Why are they like that?”

The reporters who had been running in front of Sepia all started to walk backwards.

“… ?”

Sepia moved forward, passing the reporters who retreated behind her. And after a while, she had a similar reaction.

“Crazy.”

What unfolded before her eyes was the road to hell.

“Sat, I feel like throwing up…. Ooh, ooh….”

“Ahahahaha…. So do i. I can’t eat breakfast.”

“… Head hurts.”

Sepia involuntarily blinked her eyes.

The preliminaries for the subjugation system haven’t even started yet. But what do these exhausted looks mean as if they have already finished the game?

“Ahhh….”

Becky sits down with her back against the hallway wall. The gaping mouth and unfocused pupils were terrifying to look at.

“What the hell is this… ?”

The moment Sepia muttered that, Plan finally appeared.

“?”

At the same time, the reporters’ eyes widen.

Because the plan was the same as usual.

Indifferent eyes, well-trimmed clothes, his own composure. Plan was still there.

Putting aside the unknown whether they were living or corpses, everyone quickly headed for Plan.

Baptism of questions pours out.

“Flan student! Please accept my questions!”

“Today is the day of the qualifying round. Do you know?”

Among the many questions, Sepia also said one thing.

“Plan student, what did you do for 3 days to look like this?”

Plan, who was indifferent, reacted to Sepia’s question. His sharp eyes turn to sepia.

“Don’t you know by looking at it?”

What do you know after seeing this, Sepia was ridiculous.

“Yes. You have no idea?”

Then, the corners of Flan’s mouth drew a slight arc.

“… Well, now you will find out.”
