    In conclusion, I accepted her offer. In return, they committed all kinds of indecent acts.

    -Now that’s done, you can go back.

    …Rachel said that and squeezed my butt. I was startled, pushed her away and left the room.

    I hurriedly ran into my room. Several people saw this disgusting outfit as they ran, but they had no time to pay any attention to it.

    ‘dare! dare… . dare! ‘You’re making fun of me over a petty criminal.’

    My anger is rising. In the past 50 years, no one has been able to control me again! A professor who is only 30 years old is arrogant and playing with me?

    ‘If I become stronger later… . I will definitely kill you. ‘Do you think you can tolerate this kind of humiliation?’

    My anger only calmed down after it raged for a while. In the process, he swept the items on the desk to the floor, threw a glass against the wall and broke it, etc. It was obvious without saying that there was a lot of property damage.

    ‘Whoa… . good. It’s finally calmed down a bit. Tsk, I made a strange deal for no reason and it brought back bad memories.’

    It’s a story from my childhood. When I was about fifteen years old, I was forcibly conscripted into the country I was living in and worked as a battle mage for ten years.

    At that time, I was nicknamed the battlefield commander… . It’s not a very good past. I killed too many and wasted too much time.

    ‘Maybe if I hadn’t wasted time then, I could have delved deeper into magic… . Tsk! done. What can I do when I think about the past? ‘I have to focus on the present.’

    It’s not a good thing to ruminate on the unfortunate past. I decided to shake off my head and think about the sweet future ahead.

    First, you must take this elixir. I twisted the stopper off this lovely-looking gourd and immediately poured out the contents inside without spilling a single drop.

    “Whoo! It still tastes like shit.”

    If I were to compare it, it would be like munching on a centipede that crawled out of the ground. It tastes bitter and earthy, and even has a fucking finish. It’s almost scary to just shove it down your throat.

    Anyway, the elixir ended up in my stomach. The efficacy appeared immediately. My heart was pounding like crazy and the received mana was instantly spread throughout my body.

    My whole body felt hot, as if I had just dipped into boiling water. I’m sweating profusely.

    “With this, you’ll get a free pass to the 4th rank.”

    The level I achieved in my past life was the 8th level. My goal now is to recover to that point.

    Since I drank the elixir that increases the maximum amount of mana, I will be able to advance to the 3rd level immediately tonight, and the 4th level will take about a week.

    ‘good. Still, you have to be in the 4th rank to be able to do anything.’

    The average for this academy seems to be 4th place. It’s pretty high. Even when I was in my previous life, I was truly one of the most talented people in the 6th rank.

    ‘Of course, there seems to be no one stronger than me.’

    Right now, the cheap noble that I caught by surprise yesterday is a powerhouse of the 4th rank. Even a guy like that was defeated by me, a second-tier person, so what can he do if he’s a little higher than that?

    ‘By the way, final exams are coming soon…’ . This guy really wasn’t prepared at all.’

    The next test is in three days! This guy knew that and showed a very brave attitude by drinking and walking around.

    Is he out of his mind, or is he extremely courageous? It’s probably one of the two.

    Anyway, you need to prepare for the exam. No matter how much of a genius I am, I still need to know what’s coming, so I searched through Erin’s memories.

    ‘But you didn’t miss school and went to school regularly. Of course, I just lied down and slept… . ‘I put the textbooks in the drawer.’

    I took out the textbook from the drawer. It was brand new, as if it had never been used before.

    I flipped through the stiff paper and looked closely at the upcoming exam.

    ‘… What, nothing special? Why is the level so low?’

    I know this academy is quite prestigious… . The written test wasn’t that difficult. Even if it’s not me, I think anyone can solve it if they study a little bit.

    ‘Isn’t it true that the practical exam has a large proportion?’

    At this level, there is no need to memorize it. After memorizing only the rough outlines, I put the textbook back in the drawer. I probably won’t have to take it out again.

    ‘Now I have to buy a magic book or artifact with the gold I earned. There’s a lot to do… .’

    Although I have a lot of magic in my head. Those are the things that were used during the 8th rank. I can’t swing it with this body right now.

    So I guess I’ll have to learn a new spell. If possible, it’s water-based.

    “Modern magic has probably developed a bit.”

    I hope the magic world progresses while I’m away. So that you have no regrets.

    ***

    The Academy’s area is so large that it is equivalent to a city.

    It may be said to be a huge waste of space, but considering the students and professors coming from all over the continent and the enormous facilities to feed and educate them, it is rather a small area.

    When a space is large, there is bound to be a dark place. The ‘Assassination Guild’, located in the basement of the Academy, was a representative example of that dark thing.

    “Thomasol Erek. I didn’t know you would be treated like this by that low-class person.”

    Looking at Tomassol Erech with a bandage wrapped around his face, Hamar, the head of the Assassination Guild, sneered as if he were dumbfounded.

    “Obviously, not long ago, Erin was an idiot who couldn’t even cast a fireball properly.”

    “Are you laughing now? ! My face became like this!”

    “It’s funny. Amazingly!”

    Although he dared laugh at the eldest son of the prestigious Erek family, Hamar had no worries. This is because I have never dealt with a brat who only trusts his family and goes on a rampage.

    “Who do you think it was thanks to that you were able to hide in the basement of the academy?”

    “Umm… . I think that our hard work and desire achieved it.”

    “It’s all thanks to Erekga! You idiot!”

    Hamar smiled brightly and leaned forward. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. When the current head of the Erek family was a student at the academy, he hired shadowy powerful people to protect him, which is the predecessor to the assassination guild.

    “That’s correct… . You didn’t create us, did you? Of course, I still haven’t forgotten grace.”

    “Then quickly go and cut off the guy’s head and display it in the square!”

    “If you do something like that, not only us but you, too, will be in danger, right? I’m sure you don’t want to disappoint the matriarch any more than this.”

    Tomassol kept his mouth shut. He was forced to step down from his position as successor due to too frequent deviations, and he was keenly aware that if he lost trust any longer, he would have to spend the rest of his life in a remote fiefdom.

    “So! I’ve been treated like this and you plan to stay quiet… . What about you?”

    “No way. I still haven’t forgotten your help. I will definitely put an end to that poor bastard.”

    Hamar had to worry. The reason they remain in the academy is for the children of nobles who need dirty work. Although their name is an ‘assassination’ guild, what they actually do is no different from that of a hired thug.

    If a murder was committed on campus, the organization would be discovered and completely uprooted. There is so much to lose compared to what is gained.

    “Shall we do it like this?”

    Fortunately, the experienced assassin was able to quickly figure out a method.

    “As you know, there is a practical training in a few days, right? That’s when we see the outcome.”

    “Winning?”

    “Practice is conducted in the forest within the academy. There is a barrier so there is no intervention from the outside.”

    “… So?”

    Does this stupid bastard even have to explain this to me? Hamar swallowed his frustration and said, looking straight at the bandaged, clueless master.

    “It’s not a big deal. It’s not unusual for one or two people to die in practice. It happens very rarely.”

    “That means… !”

    “Yes! If an unfortunate accident occurred there and Erin died, wouldn’t it be dismissed as something that couldn’t be helped?”

    The academy is an institution established to train officers for war. The intensity of the test is much more arduous and dangerous than that of any other school.

    Of course, famous families, that is, nobles, are safe in exams. Students from the lower class who sometimes entered the school frequently lost their lives.

    In Erin’s case, since she does not come from a family with a special name, there would be no problem if she were assassinated by secretly disguising it as an accident.

    “Good. I like the conditions… .”

    “That’s a good thing. Then, I will select a few talented members.”

    “No! I will kill you myself. You guys assist me.”

    “Yes?”

    Even though she looked like a handmade mummy, her pride seemed to be incredibly strong.

    ‘It’s okay, if you make a mistake, you can turn it all over and get out.’

    Hamar did not necessarily reject the baby’s offer. Rather, I saw an opportunity.

    “Yes, I understand. Then, let’s take a look at the practical day.”

    5 days from now. Everything will be decided.
