Episode 0 – I will not enter the academy –

​

​

​

This world is not an academy film.

​

I was not destined to become an academy cadet.

​

​

“Abraxas… Do you know how dangerous it is?”

​

I am not born in this world.

​

This world is the world of World Fantasy Saga (WFS), a game I enjoyed playing in Korea.

In that WFS world, I was reincarnated as the second son of Marquis Mentutihotep.

​

​

“As soon as you become an adult, you will go straight to the dangerous world of magic? And with a body that hasn’t been trained at all?”

​

It had to be that way.

This world will perish sooner or later. Even if we do not assume the worst case scenario of destruction, a disaster will occur where 70% of the population disappears into the underworld.

​

​

“You may still think you are the best, but the world is wide. There will be many people who are better than you.”

​

My father doesn’t know that I am a reincarnation. So, I don’t know how safe the place I’m going is going to be. I don’t know how much stronger I can become with the skills I gain there.

​

You’re so worried because you don’t know that my lack of training is part of the plan.

​

​

“Enter the Imperial Academy. If you graduate from there, I won’t say anything about you going to the magic world. If you want to challenge a dangerous place alone, you must have that level of ability.”

​

And the academy does not appear in the WFS game.

An academy I didn’t even know existed. You have to force yourself to go there.

​

​

“This is an order from the head of the family.”

​

I tried to argue, but my father was stronger than I imagined.

That’s how my admission to the academy was confirmed.

​

​

=========

​

​

“Number 113, Applicant Abraxas Mentutihotep. Please come in.”

​

While I was waiting with several other cadets outside the interview room, I heard a voice calling me.

​

​

“Abraxas applicant. So, do you have anything to say or what motivated you to apply to our academy?”

​

When I entered the interview room, there was a clerk taking notes, a professor asking questions, and an old man I didn’t know who was sitting in a row.

​

Since this is a position that will determine the final acceptance of the academy to which they applied, most applicants will have many thoughts.

I had a completely different opinion.

​

​

This world is not an academy film. Therefore, enemies, fate, and power all exist outside the academy.

Nothing happens right away. Even if you attend the academy peacefully, no problems will arise.

However, if you do something else during the four years you will waste at the academy, you will be able to prevent disaster.

​

That’s why I just wanted to fail the entrance exam.

My father expected such behavior and made a contract with me.

​

Get good grades at the academy. I am bound by that contract and it is impossible for me to be expelled for low grades.

If my abilities aren’t good enough, I might fail, but that’s not the case, so it’s even more of a problem.

​

“What I have to say is decided. Do you know about the philosophical term Occam’s Razor?”

​

However, only by breaking away from the academy can you change the fate of this world.

​

To save the world, you must break away from the academy.

So what I have to say is decided.

​

​

“Ockham’s Razor?”

​

The professor’s eyebrows wavered at my counter-question. Beside him, the pen of the clerk writing down the conversation was moving actively.

The unidentified old man sitting next to the professor kept looking at me.

​

I paid no heed to it and continued with my explanation.

​

​

“The philosophical term Occam’s Razor is a term that means that the simplest proposition is the best if it can convey the same meaning.”

​

“If it contains the same meaning, the simpler it is, the better. That’s a very good thing. So, can you explain your aspirations succinctly, using the philosophical terminology of Occam’s Razor?”

​

“Of course.”

​

He gave me the right to speak briefly about admission to the Academy. And I faithfully repaid him for giving me that opportunity.

​

“What I want to say to the interviewers at this academy is… … ”

​

​

​

“Fuck Nimmi.”

​

After summarizing my argument in the most concise sentences according to Occam’s Razor, I ran out of the room.

​

In order to get away from the academy, he slaps the professor.

In my opinion, it was a truly perfect operation.

​

“저 개새끼 통과시켜. Put it next to you and pray it yourself.”

​

“I understand. President.”

​

The next day, a notice of admission to the academy was sent to me.
