Infinite Mage

I’m sorry. galaxy We have to make a living too.

Eek!…… Huh?

The male student closed his eyes tightly and teleported to Shirone.

When he opened his eyes, Shirone was exactly 10 meters away from where he was.

He dodged?

He cried out in fear, but he did not feel the impact he was preparing for.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone, whose repetitive compulsion was cut off by the dodging he did just now, gritted his teeth and focused his mind to try and raise back his teleportation tempo.

No!

In the process of traveling forwards, Shirone abruptly curved right to avoid a collision. atom It was better than dropping out due to a collision, but he still took a speed loss nonetheless.

The female and male students plunged down with satisfied looks. legend They had successfully slowed down Shirone.

A kid from the Intermediate class said with a frown.

I thought so too. adopt Maybe they just got tangled in a rush? abandon No way they tried to crash on purpose.

“Hey. adopt Just now, the movement of those two kids. antenna Wasnt it kind of weird?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

How are you so sure? album Sure, it was suspicious, but you cant be positive unless youre part of the accused party.

The person who made that comment was a student from Class 5, Yiruki Mercodine.

By no means was that an accident. action They did it on purpose.

She was the same person who had given the advice to Shirone back then when he was in the Image Zone. antique She was thin as a rail, had heterochromia, jagged teeth, and a pointed nose.

One person blocks the road. anchor The other hits from another side. sphere Its a great strategy to block both the instantaneousness of teleportation and the space leap aspect of it. aluminum If Shirone didnt dodge by modifying his usual cycle, he would have fallen down. admire Well, I would have found some other way using equations of motion.

With one palm spread open, she collided it with her other hand which was clenched in a fist.

Her classmates turned their heads towards the training ground again.

Gosh, what a poser.

350 meters remaining.

Meanwhile, Shirone began to get a little nervous after looking at the growing distance between him and Mark.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

By the halfway point, the only competitors left were Shirone and Mark.

Convinced that he was going to win, Marks body vibrated with excitement.

I won! academy Im first!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

High-speed promotion to Class 5. alert The faces of envious classmates and the sour faces of Class 6 upperclassmen crossed his mind.

Although he had leaped about 40 times, seeing as how there was no one standing in his way, he did not feel fatigued.

HAHAHA! anxiety Im first!

Im the one who will pass!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was only one possible method left for Shirone.

Mark is in good condition. athlete He will complete the exam by the looks of it. acoustic At the rate Im going, I wont be able to retake first place.

As Mark sped up the tempo of his teleportation, the distance between him and Shirone began to widen even more.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Acceleration.

HEUP!

However, the only solution was to increase his teleportation link rhyme by a beat faster.

While he might be able to get closer to Mark, the risk of breaking his routine was high.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

With clenched teeth, Shirones rhythm suddenly accelerated. riddle The sound of the teleportation wave resounded like the beat of a drum.

Shirone is starting to catch up! action The winner is going to be decided soon!

The excitement of the students reached its peak.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, something strange was detected by Mark.

Like the last spurt of track and field, everyone’s adrenaline shot up as the distance shortened.

The iron bar of the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed started fluctuating like waves.

Mark! harbor Faster! palette Faster!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

What the?

The material of the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed had alchemical components to it. abstract It was a special material that could change its shape in response to electromagnetic force.

Mark frowned.

At first, he thought he was mistaken, but now he was sure that the bar was squirming around like a living creature.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shattering Marks belief, the bar bent like rubber and turned into a lasso.

AAK! airport What the hell!

There should be no obstacles though It should be set to level 1.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why is this happening?

Though the situation was not too dangerous, since the bar completed its transformation, it was now as solid as steel.

At the same time he freaked out, Marks body passed through the huge circle and came out the other way.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

What?

Warning. accent Warning. autumn The engine system of the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed has been activated. meadow Level 10. action Level 10.

Then, the mechanical voice of a woman rang out within the training ground.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

While Mark was questioning who exactly was operating the engine system, he was also doubting if he had heard the system right. audit He heard it say level 10.

Wh-What is that?

Since Class 4 trained on a difficulty level of 6, The class 4 students watching couldnt help but fear for Mark and Shirone.

The black iron bar that bent and twisted created an ugly-shaped obstacle.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The advanced-class level obstacles had complex shapes and their speed was also very fast, so the risk of injury was extremely high.

How the hell did this happen?! arrow Why did the engine activate all of a sudden?!

The instructors were in disarray.

It was not enough that the safety device was turned off, but the difficulty of the traps was also at its highest.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Damn it! harbor Engine room!

The only students left were Shirone and Mark. crystal They had come so far.

Headmaster, what should we do now? adapt The promotion exam

Thadd was the first to teleport to fly off to the engine room, while the rest of the instructors questioned what to do now.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

If the exam was interrupted while there was no clear winner, some people might speak ill of the academy.

This is not a simple promotion. autumn Students who have already dropped out will insist on fairness as well.

In particular, since this was a promotion test, they would have to suffer pressure from many nobles.

Are you all really asking that right now?! wizard Halt the exam immediately and signal the participants to stop!

In that sense, the instructors questions were understandable, but Alpheas shouted in outrage.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He roughly twisted the door to the engine room.

For the prestigious Alpheas Magic Academy to have an engine system malfunction Its probably a mistake done by staff.

Whoever it is, if I catch you

Thadd, who came down to the ground with a boom from teleporting, frowned and headed towards the engine room.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The door was locked.

Huh?

Thinking that maybe this whole thing was not a mistake, his eyes turned hard.

Oh, so you want a piece of me?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

What?

Someone had their back against the iron door.

If he released his fireball like this, it would put that person in danger, so he first sent a warning.

While he held up his right hand that held a big fireball, he felt the inside of the room with his Spirit Zone.

You Are you Maria?

Open the door. acquire Now. beacon Im going to cast Fire Strike. antique If you dont open the door, youll die.

Although Thadd had never been her instructor, she had entered the academy while he was in the Advanced class.

First, let’s talk face-to-face.

It is Maria, isnt it? absorb What are you doing? alert The promotion exams a mess. auction This has turned into a huge problem.

Im sorry. amateur I troubled everyone once again.

I dont think I was thinking straight. august I only came to my senses after I did everything. altitude I mustve gone mad. voyage Im sorry

No, Maria. arena I dont know what your circumstances are, but Ill listen.

Mr. antique Thadd, am I going to be expelled? adjust Will I go to jail?

Hearing Marias cry, Thadd quietly put out the flame in the palm of his hand.

But the thing is I dont want to live, Mr. apple Thadd. apron What should I do?

……

So open the door. afford I dont want to use harsh methods.

A quiet, timid child whose name had never once appeared on any paperwork at the academy.

What kind of a student was she?

Maria Earlin.

He no longer thought of turning off the engine system to turn the promotion exam back to normal. airport He knew it was going to get canceled anyway and that the students would be fine.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thadd scratched his head and turned his back. acid He just leaned against the railing as if to say he didnt want to think further.

All right, I understand.

However, the fact that he didnt try to turn the handle and start yelling at her calmed her a little.

Maria did not answer.

If you dont want to come out, dont.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Still the same.

Amidst the silence, Thadd looked up at the sky.

The blue sky of the Alpheas Magic Academy that he so hated during his academy life.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yes?

You hate me, right?

Mr. acoustic Thadd.

Dont you know? audit I dont hate girls.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

You, someone whos called a genius mage, wouldnt know what it means to have no talent. anxiety Even if I do my best, despair is always waiting for me ahead. antenna It feels like anything I do just goes down the drain. antenna Nothing feels like its working, I cant seem to do anything. riddle Do you know what that feels like? arctic Do you know how daunting that is?

Why? riddle Cases where someone is born as pretty as you are rare. auction Youre not lacking in any way.

Why is the world so unfair?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maria turned her head toward the iron door.

…Of course. amber I know that feeling very much.

You do?

I graduated when I was 22, so its already been four years since Ive become an instructor. galaxy When you entered the academy, I must have been in the Advanced class. altitude You know Im a graduate from here, right?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was an outlier as he was the topic of the students gossip as soon as he entered the academy.

Then do a bit of thinking. artist Have you ever heard of a student named Thadd attending this academy?

Now that she thought about it, she couldnt remember a single time she heard his name during his time as a student.

Yes.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

No, never.

You did?

And that makes perfect sense. amber My grades were low, I didnt have any talent, and in addition to that, I wasnt from a big, rich family. album In fact, I used to always go start fights outside of the academy.

Yeah. ability It took me an average of two years to go up a class. shadow Hell, when I got into the Advanced Class, it started taking me three. timber Though, I know things are a little different for you.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

But arent our situations quite similar? arena Unless you are the best period, everyone is bound to fail or be defeated someday. alien The same principle applies to me. adopt I had gotten into the Advanced Class, but I flunked my classes every time without fail.

But how

Thadd continued while imagining Maria sulking.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thadd recalled that time.

To dream of success while not having the courage to give up something in order to achieve it is arrogance.

How did I become who I am now? august Its all luck. adjust Luck. altitude I met a wicked mage who yelled and scolded me. amber You know, I convinced myself that I was doing my best, but compared to others, that best was nothing. sphere And struggling to defeat someone was something I got sick of. acid But one day, that same wicked mage, told me this

Maria, you dont need to compete. wizard You dont always have to win over someone. atom If you like magic, there you go. alpha Thats all you need. echo There are people in this world who dont wish to compete with anyone. audit Like me. aspect While it may be a tougher path than the one most tread, you have the courage to take that path. antenna Its something you can do.

Maria kept silent, but a lot of thoughts were going through her head.

Something I can do

Maria asked.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hes someone youre very familiar with. amateur The headmaster of the Alpheas Magic Academy.

Thadds eyes dimmed at the memory.

What kind of person was he? atlas The mage that scolded you?

Really? alien The Headmaster?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maria once again felt blue.

So, what Im really trying to say is, the world isnt fair. atomic Some people are born with talent while most arent. adopt Some, whether its because theyre dim-witted or laid-back, jump into any competition. amber Some just work their butts off. attic But for someone like me who has no talent or anything like it for that matter, sometimes, very occasionally, a miracle happens. anchor Thats why I find life worth living.

Thadd rose from his seat and turned around.

Yes. anxiety From that day on, I became his full-time student and received private tutoring. amateur It was a great privilege. silence Well, thanks to that, my life worked out for the best. auction Doesnt that explain why a dirtbag like me gets called a genius? absorb Its because I was taught by a man whose name is known all around the continent. alien Hows that? adapt Jealous yet? palette Life is all about luck. atlas Hahaha!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

What do you think, Maria? arctic Wouldnt ending things here be a waste and an affront to the effort you put in to get this far? zenith How about trying just a little bit more?

What more are you saying I should do? autumn That miracle you mentioned I dont even know if it will ever come Like, what if it never comes? harbor Then what would happen to me?

Maria dug her face into her knees.

Thadd spoke with his hand against the iron door.

What are you saying, Maria?

The miracle youre looking for? meadow Youre looking right at it.

Perhaps those were the words she’d been hoping to hear her entire life. matrix Warm tears dripped down her face.

Maria started sobbing.

Of course. echo Talent isnt being good at something. adapt Its having the heart to love that something so much your body devotes every facet of its being into it. orbit That heart makes everything possible. athlete Maria, youre an excellent student.

Mr. alpha Thadd, quickly, the system!

Thadd questioned.

Both of them did not give up. airport Im saying the competition is still ongoing!

Was that even possible?

Of course, it was not an assignment that those in the Advanced Class really worried about, but for the two who were in Class 7, completing it was nigh impossible.

Level 10 of the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed was a practice assignment for the Advanced Class.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 36: The Uncrossable Bridge (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thadd, who grasped the magnitude of the situation, was about to turn to the engine room, but a flash caused by Spatial Warp turned up near them.
