I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

Chapter 9: A Failure In S Class (2)

The main attraction of Stella Academy was its two major events.

The familiar contract ceremony was one, and the cane succession ceremony was another.

The cane succession ceremony was especially special because Stella Academy was a prestigious school.

From now on, you will inherit a cane you will use at school.

Stellar Academy had a lot of money, so they didnt lend you a cane, they would just give you one for free.

However, once you choose, the process of changing it is very complicated, so make your decision carefully.

Lee Hanwol stated this, but the irony is that it was the cane that chose the person, not the other way around.

The cane would react to a deserving owner, resulting in a resonance phenomenon.

Classes F to S would choose a cane prepared for their level during this process, so deciding which class to take first was critical.

The cane was always graded, and Stella Academy had canes of low, medium, and intermediate levels, beginning with the lowest.

In the case of Class F, the majority of the canes were of the lowest grade, with only a few being of the lower intermediate grade.

The cane chosen by Class A-S students, on the other hand, was prepared beginning with the lower intermediate garde.

Do you think its unjust? This is how a magical society operates.

Choose it and work on becoming a better wizard. That was the only option.

As stated by all of the senior wizards, becoming a high-ranking wizard was an eternal truth.

Thats cool.

Some canes were dangling in the sky, while others were stuck on the floor, piled up in drawers, or flying around.

Each has a plethora of personalities and egos. The enigmatic canes. It appeared prettier and more beautiful when I saw it with my own eyes.

Which cane do you intend to use?

Thats the one Ill go with. Before I entered the school, I knew what cane were prepared.

Thats a low grade wand. Didnt you say you were going to choose an intermediate wand?

I just awoke from a dream. My father bought a wand, so I tried it, but even if I died, I couldnt connect with the intermediate-grade. I must be content with only the middle and lower grades.

On average, the cane chosen by Class A~S was incredibly good. As a result, I was a little nervous.

It was the cane succession event.

Actually, this was an event that proceeded in a fixed order depending on what character the player chose.

For that reason, I was already anticipating what the main characters such as Full Frame, Mayuseong, Jeremy, Eisel, and Hong Bi-yeon would choose.

By the way.

I dont know what Im going to choose.

Unlike other characters starting in class S, Baek Yu-seol started in class F in the first place.

But, if I had to choose a cane for my position, I think Id go with a wand.

Canes are often divided into short ones called wand and long ones called staff.

Wands were mostly used by Knight-type magic warriors who specialised in approaching the enemy by moving quickly, scattering the formation, and shooting magic quickly.

To briefly summarize a wand, think of it as a cane similar to an assault rifle.

Staff, on the other hand, were used by Bishop type magic warriors, who were known for casting powerful magic over a wide area after a long casting time.

To briefly summarize the staff, think of them as a cane similar to a bazooka or sniper rifle.

However, neither of these described me. To begin with, I was not a cane user because I used a cold weapon.

Hey, what will he choose?

Well, since hes in class S, wouldnt he pick something amazing?

I was also the centre of attention here. Youre in class S, but you cant even resonate with the cane, right? said the gaze. was aimed at me.

I didnt want anything too extraordinary. Its not like the school has a great cane. Going out to farm in a dungeon I was familiar with may provide me with better gear.

Still, I had to make a decision, and as I pondered my options, a boy approached me from behind.

Hey.

Yes?

When I turned around, a boy who had already untied his robe cloak was staring at me with a boisterous expression.

An unknown face.

Who?

He then stiffened his face, but quickly smiled.

Me? Its Yuslek.

Aha!

And then, he seems to think I know him. But Im really sorry, I pretended to know

I see?

I really dont know who he was.

This is, really

It was Yuslek, who was getting angry, but soon regained his expression. At the same time, I wanted me to introduce myself, but I didnt want it to be ugly or anything.

You. What wand are you going to choose?

I dont know about anything else, but just by looking at his calm, cold voice, it didnt seem like he had a favorable opinion of me.

I glanced at his name tag and it said Class A. Are you really that angry because Im in class S?

However, it seemed like I was an easy target compared to the rest of S class.

Anything.

I dont understand why youre in S class. You have no aspirations, no aggression.

He glanced up and down at me and laughed.

If you are a commoner, choose a cane that suits your level like a commoner. It will be difficult if you cause trouble and the professors have to suffer for it, right?

Yeah. Dont make any trouble.

you punk!

Or not. Why are you yelling at me? I was curious about him, so I put on my copper glasses and checked the information.

[Yuslek Czech Veilen]

Son of the Czech Marquis Veilen

Prince Jeremys Bread Shuttle (T/N 1)

A third-rate bully

It was really concise information. Just looking at this, I could tell how little significant he was. The only meaningful record here was Bread Shuttle poor guy, huh?

Next time he talks to me, I have to treat him well.

Ttt, Im going to pick that one anyway, so watch it carefully.

What Yuslek was pointing to was a wand with a hint of muted color. Moderately curved, moderately slim, and moderately old-fashioned for a wand.

Oh, look at this bastard?

I didnt know who he was, but he was full of pride.

The wands name was Edmerie et Temiri, the highest grade at the upper-intermediate level.

Its upper-intermediate. If you look at it normally, its at the level that only professional magic warriors use.

There were up to two upper-intermediate-level wands in this place. They were only present to inspire students when they grow up and think holding a wand this size.

It wasnt as high-ranked as Edmerie et Temiri, but there were a lot of intermediate wands that were difficult to handle unless you were a veteran wizard which made one wonder why they were even here in the first place.

If you are a studnet, no matter how talented you are, middle and lower grade cane would be the limit. Even those with a professional magic warrior license were barely able to catch the lower and middle grade.

But this was Stella Academy.

It should not be overlooked that the best students from all over the world have gathered.

Everyone, go and stand with the cane you like.

As soon as Lee Han-wols words fell, the students each moved to the front of the cane they had thought of. As expected, most of them succeeded in resonating with the cane immediately, like the elite students of A~S class. A trembling sound could be heard from all directions.

And, among them, there were exceptional students.

Wow, that cane that Hae Won-ryang caught, Isnt it Heden Amicotton?

Its an intermediate level cane, isnt it? I cant believe it. Thats amazing.

The main characters were starting to grab the intermediate-level cane that could only be grasped after years of training!

Hey, I think you picked the intermediate level too?

Did Prince Skarven also choose the intermediate level?

Princess Hong Bi-yeon said, I chose Suaviter La Harbon. Intermediate!

How many magicians that have already obtained the official licenses are barely able to pick the intermediate staff that she chose?

This year has been crazy. really.

The eyes of the students blazed brightly as they saw tremendous exclamations erupting around them.

Can I do it too? No, maybe I should pick a better cane!

If they pick a cane of a higher grade than those geniuses, naturally, the attention of the Magic Tower and Archmage professors would be focused on them!!

Thinking like that, quite a number of students flocked to Edmerie et Temiri, a muted upper-intermediate grade wand that was spinning round and round while floating in mid-air.

Of course, most of them were more of an extra than a main character. They were coveting a wand that they cannot handle because they did not know their own body well.

Move. The students gathered around Edmerie et Temiri turned their attention and turned away as Yuslek walked proudly, apparently because he was Prince Jeremy Scalvens faction, and his breath seemed quite strong.

With a confident expression on his face, he reached out to Edmerie et Temiri. Woong Woong!! A strong vibration resounded throughout the auditorium.

Oh oh

No way, Is he going to succeed in resonance with a upper-intermediate grade wand?

No way.

Yuslek, who had been sweating profusely while wrestling Edmerie et Temiri, soon closed his eyes tightly, and Paang!!

A small mana explosion occurred, and a light breeze blew throughout the auditorium.

Cough!

Yuslek, who had been thrown back loudly, looked at the wand with a blank expression on his face.

Oh, what.?

I never thought I would be rejected. Its not that he was stupid with that expression on his face; its that his pride was unnecessarily high. A person should also be able to recognise and accept their own limitations.

Oh my goodness Yuslek sat motionless on the floor, while the other students peered in and tried to connect with Edmerie et Temiri.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Since then, the sound of the balloon popping has been heard repeatedly, and it wasnt until most students went out and failed did they realised that Edmerie et Temiri had not been brought to resonate even once, and more and more students gave up when they even saw it.

Yes, giving up would be quicker.

Because the owner of that wand was predetermined from the start.

Mayuseong approached Edmerie et Temiri with a lot of interest in those twinkling eyes.

The other students soon began to agitate.

Hey, its Mayuseong.

Is the Mayoseong trying to resonate with that wand too?

Even if its a Mayuseong, Edmerie et Temiri looks difficult

But, as if to put such concerns lightly.

woo woo woo!!! Mayuseong succeeded in resonating with Edmerie et Temiri too easily.

The students mouths dropped open as Mayuseong pulled out the wand and wielded it.

Despite seeing the existence of genius with both eyes, it was still unbelievable.

By the way, hes.

While everyone was focusing on Mayuseong, I checked Fuleim.

According to the games storyline, the owner of another high grade wand,Terifon, was Fuleim.

But here it diverges.

When Fuleim picks up the Terifon, the Mayuseong route opens, and Mayuseong, who is intrigued by her and the existence of another genius, becomes interested in her. Otherwise, another option becomes available.

What are you going to do, Fuleim?

That woman was not a part of the game. We had to keep in mind the possibility of moving in a different direction than the players had been piloting so far as a real Fuleim that was nowhere to be found.

Again.

Fuleim was moving.

Come on, pick up the Terifon. Come on! Mayuseong was the hope of this world, and if Fuleim comforted him well and brings him to the good side, the future development would be easier. That said, there is a high probability that there will be a happy ending too.

But why?

She doesnt seems to be very interested in Terifon?

My eyebrows frowned seeing Fuleim walking amongst the strange wands, it seemed she had no interest in Terifon at all. Or, maybe she was unaware of the existence of Terifon.

That cant be

Because she was the protagonist of this world with endless possibilities, she could resonate with any wand. If she resonates with a strange wand for nothing, it will create difficulty if the Mayuseong route is erased.

Should I give her a hint?

But since she had read the original novel, she may have a rough idea early on.

In the beginning, you can choose Egora Ecoff, a mysterious wand that was not good at first, but showed its true power later on, or you could choose Impetus Infellipone, which Eisel chose in the original novel and took the reverse harem route.

Since this is happening, I have no choice but to sneak in the Terifon.

[Blink]

Sneakly, pretending not to, I approached Fuleim.

Huhh?

She seemed surprised when I suddenly appeared from behind. I didnt want to be seen by the heroine, but I couldnt help it.

I spoke in a voice that was as friendly as possible.

What wand are you going to choose?

Then, Fuleim took a step backwards with a slightly wary attitude.

Hey, why are you curious about that?

Huh? No, I was just wandering alone, so I wanted to help.

Why dont you stop caring about others and choose your cane?

What? Something feels strange.

I knew that Fuleim was very sociable, since she got along well with the nobles and commoners alike.

But why did she seem to draw a line at me? I dont think Ive ever done anything particularly noticeable.

But I cant back away now since I had already spoken.

I was just trying to help you pick out a cane. Why are you being so mean?

Choose your cane instead of meddling.

No matter what I said, Fuleim continued to respond with a harsh attitude. What should I do?

Its just, I think I have a wand that suits you.

What do you know?

It was a Fuleim with a petty expression on her face, but it wasnt very fitting because she had a cute face.

Thats crazy. Did I make a mistake? Or perhaps shes not interested in an extra, someone whos not a lead male character?

I dont know why she was wary of me, but I had to say something anyway. I pointed at Terifon with my finger.

I heard a lot of rumors about you. If it were you, wouldnt you be able to hold a wand like that?

A silver wand that is not flashy, but has a luxurious look in its simplicity. Pointing to it, Fuleims eyes widened.

Terifon?

Yeah, that one.

However, Fuleims expression were strange. Somethings was bothering me, so decided to take my hand back.

A heavy feeling.

Something gently caressed my hand.

what?

I check my outstretched left hand.

A silver cane that was lightly gripped.

It was not flashy, but its luxury was hidden in its simplicity.

.Terifon?

Why is this in my hand?

Before even grasping the situation, Terifon took action first.

Woo woo woo!!

A resonant sound as loud as Mayuseongs Edmerie et Temiri resounded throughout the auditorium.

..

In an instant, silence fell throughout the auditorium, and everyones eyes were fixed on my left hand.

I sobbed in my heart, sweating profusely.

This Fuleim?

Im doomed.

That too, very badly screwed.

Translators Notes:

Phewwww.this chap completes 10 chaps from the series. 10 chaps huh. Ngl, translating is a very tiring job. You might think that since this is a MTL, it wouldnt take much long. But thats incorrect. I have to like run each sentence through 4-5 translation apps to get the best relatable meaning, and thats the first draft. I reread that draft again to look for errors and format the sentence in a meaningful way thats the second draft. The third draft is just a quick glance and it takes like 3-4 hours to translate each chap with each chap being 2.5K+ words. This becomes more difficult when you have read the chap already through the unedited MTL so it takes away the motivation.

Note 1 Bread Shuttle refers to lackeys, someone who brings breakfast/lunch/snakcs to their school master. Common thing in Korean manhwa with a shool + bullying background.

Loved Stranger Things and cant wait for July 1st now.

Dont forget to rate and review the story on novelupdates and add it to you library.
