Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

83 – Donate everything to the Faculty of Knights.

After the preliminaries for the subjugation event, it wasn’t just the students who were swept away by the unexpected waves.

“Hey, let’s talk for a minute!”

“Don’t push, man! Move!”

“General Affairs Manager, no. Just let me meet the president for a second!”

Merchants are busy snooping around the Faculty of Magic building. They were people commonly called ‘big hands’ in Sanggye.

They did not visit the academy to enjoy the game in the first place. Only one interest. Heroes who will roll their fortunes like snowballs. Especially the knights side.

However, in the preliminaries, a very big surprise occurred: ‘passing first place in the Faculty of Magic’.

Since they also have eyes, they have seen something, and since they have seen it, they naturally make judgments.

‘It’s definitely a business worth doing.’

‘No matter what happens, let’s clear the road in advance.’

After all, it is power that attracts money.

Although the preliminaries have just finished, it is also undeniable that the Faculty of Magic has shown great results.

The preliminaries of the subjugation were perfect for observing and judging the ‘power’, and the result was this mayhem.

But then.

“There is absolutely no need for everyone to do this.”

A woman appeared and caught their attention.

White hair like snow, bobbed hair that looks like it would cut if you touch it, and a cold impression that doesn’t look like a drop of blood will come out even if it’s stabbed with a needle.

She introduced herself.

“The representative of Marceline Trading Company. This is Dana Marceline.”

Everyone narrowed their brows at those words. Marceline Co., Because that’s a name I’d never heard of.

However, what followed was very different from what they expected.

“The distribution right within the Faculty of Magic has already been monopolized by Marceline Firm. So, talk about commerce through me.”

“… ?”

The eyes of the listeners widened. Someone murmured urgently.

“You mean you already have a monopoly? As soon as the preliminaries were over, I ran…. At some point… ?”

“Oh, I invested in advance before the qualifying round.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. It was just amazing.

Until the qualifiers, the Faculty of Magic had nothing to prove. What on earth could you see and invest in advance?

Marceline nodded her head slowly. It was an attitude that seemed to understand all of their feelings.

“I really don’t understand, do you?”

She slightly raises the corner of her mouth, as if even herself is a little dumbfounded.

“To say that it is not like a person. I listen to it often.”

Marceline.

Among the blood demons, she is called Maiev.

◈

Late in the evening, I headed to the president’s office.

Cornette, the president of the Faculty of Magic, called me, and I am currently responding to the request.

‘Three days.’

The finals will begin immediately after just three days.

How to spend the best three days, and how the Faculty of Magic will look perfect in the finals. I was thinking about both at the same time.

However, big changes have already taken place inside the academy, and they have not left me alone.

I could feel it personally while walking down the hallway covered with red carpets.

A wizard who was walking from the other side met me, stopped abruptly, and asked abruptly.

“Hey, is it raining tomorrow?”

“….”

I ignored it because it was a serious, unexpected context. The world is wide, and it is not strange even if there are many strange people.

However, those without context were able to face each other again. It was while waiting for Warp to reach the floor where the president’s office was located.

Two female wizards chatted in front.

“I feel this every time I come here, even though the hallway here is long, it is too long. My leg hurts and I’m dying.”

“Recognized.”

“Don’t just admit it, change yourself.”

“What flan am I? Be sure to say it.”

My name is now on the lips of those who have not even met each other. Their eyes fell on me.

“….”

After a moment of silence, the girls jumped up like frogs.

“What, what, what!”

“Flan… ! It’s a flan!”

Unknowingly, I narrowed my eyebrows at that loud reaction. I tried to ignore it, but their words were faster.

“Hey, over there! Can I ask you something?”

“… Keep it short and simple.”

“There is a Mana Co-Stress Test tomorrow at the Mage Tower. How’s that going? Are you successful?”

Another odd context. Not even asking for opinions. What she asked was ‘results’.

“Ha ha.”

Involuntarily, I let out a sigh.

Similar annoyances from the previous world were already emerging. Compared to what we will prove in the future, winning first place in the preliminaries is nothing more than a child’s play house.

“Why are you asking me that?”

“Anybody going to ask you? Haven’t you seen Trivia? It’s all about you.”

Trivia.

Come to think of it, I haven’t even opened it yet.

This notebook blinks once in blue when there is an alarm. But now, no matter how much contact is being made, the blue light is still on.

I opened Trivia.

[ It tells you how to make money. When the next prediction opens, bet all your fortune on winning the Magic Faculty’s Punishment. ]

[Am I the only one who didn’t like the magic undergraduate study today? ]

[ Ask Plan to change it. ]

“My words…. I can’t even hear you with my ears.”

I should have nodded once and said let’s move on, but no one readily agreed.

“Ah, flan! Flan student!”

Someone who has warped down is urgently looking for me. Al was the secretary of the president, Cornette, with small horn-rimmed glasses.

“Everyone is waiting for me to die. Come on!”

◈

“Ah…. Plan student, you really worked hard.”

The secretary smiles at me as she wipes the sweat from her brow with a handkerchief and adjusts her glasses.

His eyes are full of kindness. It was the complete opposite of how it used to be.

I asked quietly as I sat down.

“The President.”

“Oh, you should be back soon.”

I came in response to the request of the president, but except for Cornette, only the rest of the people were sitting.

There are even a lot of people. Secretary, professor, reporter, stranger…. I had expected to see Cornette alone, but it was actually a large-scale meeting.

“Ph, flan student!”

A woman with orange hair greets me. It was Sepia, the head of the Ministry of Magic of the Marchen Daily.

The secretary opened his mouth as he adjusted his glasses.

“Director of the Marchen Daily, Mr. Sepia is also here.”

“Sure. Not so. This is what happened and I can never leave it out!”

Sepia continued talking without calming down at all.

“First of all, flan students. Do you have a rough idea of what the current public opinion is like?”

She nodded.

I can’t help but know. She has spoken without any hesitation and proved it without the slightest error. It is obvious that public opinion will stick behind it.

“I thought we were going to send out a special report about the plan student…. I didn’t even have to. It’s already a mess!”

Sepia spread a very large piece of paper in the air. She must have trembled so much that her papers only unfolded after she snapped her fingers three times.

After a while, the long post was moved to type.

There was a lot of volume, but the content was simple. Since entering the academy, my journey has been organized very clearly.

‘… The organizing method is strangely familiar.’

Starting from retesting the grade test, explaining instead of the professor, and changing the test standard and being selected as a representative….

It’s a sajok, but it was also written which papers he was interested in. Only Becky should know this.

“This is the text, and the important thing is the response!”

At Sepia’s cry, the recording paper this time captures the students’ reactions in typeface.

[Wow, it was different from the beginning]

[But it was impossible for magic students to intuit the game. Wasn’t it lucky that we got first place? ]

[ Luck is good enough, you idiot ]

[I want to see the finals of the subjugation system soon… ! ]

There were few bad reactions. Sepia, looking at her record sheet, had a face that seemed to be looking at her in ecstasy.

“By the way, the name of a flan student is not only mentioned in relation to the subjugation system. Like a trend, it is constantly mentioned in daily writing.”

“And this…. That will be a lot of money!”

A man of considerable age intervened, unable to hide his excitement.

Perhaps belatedly embarrassed, he cleared his throat and introduced himself.

“Heh heh heh…. Sorry. Stop being happy, I am the general affairs manager.”

He snapped his fingers and intervened in the log. A large number of lists stretch from top to bottom.

“These are the upper ranks who wish to interact with the Faculty of Magic. Except for Marceline Sanghoe, all of them rolled in after qualifying.”

He was in charge of the magic department’s accountant, and he had an expression as if he had found a lump of gold.

“It would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone came to see only one flan student. As the topicality of students grows, money naturally follows them.”

At the words of the general affairs manager, the secretary nodded vigorously.

“As the board grew, many people became interested, proved it, and the course of the flan students continued. We will actively support this final round as well.”

I quietly rubbed my chin at the secretary’s words.

“Because of active support…. Which.”

“Let’s grow the board together at the undergraduate level. The position of a flan student will be the position of the entire Faculty of Magic this time.”

Cheeky.

I almost spit it out without realizing it. I don’t think the rank of the Faculty of Magic is higher than mine.

But I persevered.

It is also an obvious fact that they are aiming to raise the status of the Faculty of Magic.

Sepia continued talking excitedly.

“I didn’t expect it to this extent, so the editorial department was completely upset. Oh, of course on the happy side!”

The head of the general affairs department smiled and accepted the words.

“Please take good care of me when reporting on Plan students. At this rate, we will be able to attract several new facilities within the Faculty of Magic.”

“There is nothing to do well. Right now, even if I just write it down and send it out, the response is very enthusiastic. Therefore….”

Everyone’s eyes are on me. Sepia concluded her words with a face full of anticipation.

“… Plan student, please do as you are now!”

The secretary also pushed up her glasses and asked me in a very polite tone.

“Oh, and may I ask for a few more independent interviews? Aspirations and plans for subjugation…. It will return to the Faculty of Magic with great benefits.”

As the secretary snaps her fingers, items are written on the record sheet. Gold coins, flower pots…. Most of them were gifts.

“Look. Some of the guilds even gave gifts and went back saying they wanted to interact with each other.”

I answered without the slightest hesitation.

“I refuse. Also, no help from anyone.”

The secretary’s words are cut to pieces, and silence falls.

“I also decide how to use the gifted goods.”

I don’t want to say that starting with enthusiasm is by no means a bad thing.

However, the problem is that I cannot reach the goal I want with this method.

And this time, as always, I know how to reach the goal I want.

“Donate everything to the Faculty of Knights.”

“… !”

Everyone’s expressions became dumb at once.

I will put my heart and soul into this subjugation so that it doesn’t end with ‘I won by doing my best’.

So, I continued talking calmly.

“Be sure to add the word sorry.”

There was no more breathing in the president’s office.

One day until luncheon with Scarlett.

… I’m curious about her expression.
