From Extinction-Level Threat to Magic Student?!

Rin watched as the receptionist excused herself to "get the guild master."

Translation: incoming questions, paperwork, and probably a magical lie detector.

Nope.

Absolutely not.

She casually scooped her loot back into her inventory, turned on her heel, and walked out the door like she hadn’t just dropped the equivalent of a dragon’s paycheck on the counter.

Someone called after her.

She didn’t stop.

By the time the guild master arrived, Rin was already five streets away and speed-walking like a suspicious tourist.

So yeah. That plan? Total failure.

With her power concealed and a black-market dealer to sell her loot, Rin was finally on the path to blending in.

Or so she thought.

Step One: Figuring Out What to Do Next

Now that she had a steady flow of money, Rin wandered through the kingdom, trying to figure out her next move.

Should she become an adventurer?

Nope. That would just lead to more unnecessary attention when she accidentally one-shot a dungeon boss.

Should she become a merchant?

No way. She had no business sense and would probably end up owning half the kingdom on accident.

Should she lay low and live a quiet life?

…She didn’t even finish that thought before laughing at herself.

There was no way she’d stay out of trouble.

Step Two: Avoiding Suspicion (and Failing Again)

As she walked through the streets, she noticed a group of nobles talking loudly in front of a massive stone building.

It had tall spires, floating runes, and an aura of pure magic.

There was even a giant banner that read:

“VELTHAS ROYAL MAGIC ACADEMY – ENTRANCE EXAMS IN THREE DAYS!”

Rin slowed down.

“…Magic, huh?”

In her past life, she had always wanted to learn magic.

She had stats through the roof, but when it came to actual spells, she had…

Absolutely nothing.

All this time, she had been relying on raw strength and resistances.

Which worked.

But it wasn’t flashy.

And if she wanted to blend in, wouldn’t a magic academy be a good cover?

Step Three: Making a Terrible Decision

Rin stood there, staring at the academy gates.

Did she really want to go to school?

After all the suffering and survival hell she had gone through?

She thought about it.

And then thought about how bored she’d be otherwise.

And finally shrugged.

“…Eh. Why not?”

And just like that, Rin decided to enroll in the Royal Magic Academy.

She had three days until the entrance exam.

Which meant she had three days to figure out how the hell magic worked.
