Magus Academy Chapter is Back

After relentlessly writing My Magus Academy is Run by Players?! for the past month, the novel will finally resume its schedule release here on Patreon

Sorry for the delay since I don't want to rush and have to maintain the quality of what I'm writing

An Update

Hi, I want to tell you that I will be taking a break on posting Magus Academy until mid October.

Don't worry, The Gods' Gacha Game's post will not be disturbed. In fact, I will be increasing the total advance chapters for this title for each tier.

Aleph tier will now have 8 advance TGGG chapters.

Bet + Elemental Adept will have 25 advance TGGG chapters.

Gimmel + Divine Hero will have 33-35 advance TGGG chapters.

The reason I take a break on posting Magus Academy ...

TGGG — Chapter 98: Luck is Everything

These twelve were the available unique magics I could choose from this tome. Still, no wonder it was only of uncommon grade—the tome could only be used once. Hrm, I don’t remember it being one-time use only, though…

Whatever the case, I had to choose carefully. Each of these twelve magics carried its own strengths and weaknesses, and not all would serve me well in battle. For instance, both Necromancy and Illusion Magic were redundant, and I had no use for them. With Fabl...

TGGG — Chapter 97: The Genius Young Mage

What does Tuilë mean by her words? Ah, I see now. Tuilë and this boy, Lucian, clearly didn’t come from the same place. Just like Earth, there were at least two other worlds that divine warriors in Fantasia originated from. Though theoretically, they could still be from the same world but simply from distant regions. Even so, the likelihood seemed slim.

Nevertheless, Lucian’s words weren’t empty bluster. The mana signature radiating from his core was dense and heavy, far...

TGGG — Chapter 96: Confirming the Pieces

As soon as my vision cleared, I recognized my surroundings. Around us, other divine warriors were coming and going, but none spared us more than a passing glance. To them, we were just another party completing another scenario.

“Congratulations on clearing the sixth scenario, divine warriors,” Elysia greeted us with her usual serene smile in place.

That smile again. At this point, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was nothing but a mask concealing something deeper. But th...

TGGG — Chapter 95: Scenario Completion

What I meant was to use Scenario Manipulation to shorten the remaining time. However, if I suddenly cut hours, Boris and Michelle would find out, and it would be a bit expensive. Instead, I figured out a more subtle way of doing this.

“Scenario Manipulation,” I whispered under my breath.

You have activated Scenario Manipulation.

Please select an effect or variable to alter.

TGGG — Chapter 94: Emerging Memories

Boris blinked, lowering his steel-coated arms in awe before breaking into laughter. “Gahaha…! Lad, you just turned the whole cavern into an ice graveyard!”

Michelle was agape and stood frozen, her bow still drawn though her hands had gone slack. Her wide eyes darted between me and the frost-laden battlefield. Despite the deep chill coating everything, not a single trace of frost clung to her. “This… this isn’t the power of a Gimmel-rank divine warrior. Maxim… what did you ...

TGGG — Chapter 93: Oasis of Memory

From the shadows around the oasis, there were movements. At first, I thought it was the shifting reflections on the water’s surface. But then the shapes lurched forward, pale and shambling. My stomach tightened as I counted them; there were at least two dozen.

Their forms were disturbingly familiar. Twisted bodies with rotting flesh clinging to cracked bones, their eyes clouded white with death. They resembled the zombies I had fought back in the first and second scenarios, yet these ...

TGGG — Chapter 92: Sandstorm!

The storm roared closer with terrifying speed. What had seemed distant only moments ago now devoured half the sky, a raging wall of sand and fury bearing down on us. The oasis lay just straight ahead, but the storm would overtake us long before we could reach it. We had to act now, or we’d be buried alive.

“Find cover, now!” I shouted, already scanning the dunes for any place we could use to hide against the sandstorm.

Boris cursed under his breath. “That thing’ll tear u...

TGGG — Chapter 91: A Night in the Cave

The flames gradually died down, leaving behind charred husks of scorpions scattered across the cavern floor. The stench of burnt chitin hung heavy in the air. Unfortunately, other than the scorpion brood’s corpse, the other remains were far too damaged and scorched to be salvaged—neither worth selling nor suitable for absorption with my Absorb Plausibility skill.

With the light of our lanterns pushing back the shadows, we advanced deeper into the cave. The tunnel sloped downward bef...

TGGG — Chapter 90: Stumbling into a Scorpion Nest

“What did you do, Maxim?” Boris called out from behind, eyeing the collapsed remains.

“How did the sandworm’s corpse shrivel up like that?” Michelle also looked at the corpse in confusion.

“It’s a new signature skill I gained after my class advancement,” I explained, dusting sand from my armor. “Basically, I can draw out the energy stored in a monster’s corpse and convert it into something I can use later in battle.”

Technically, it wasn’t limited to ...

TGGG — Chapter 89: Giant Sandworm

I pulled up the scenario’s interface and checked our progress. The total monsters killed were counted as a group effort, just like in the previous three scenarios. That meant if we played it right, hitting the one hundred kill mark wouldn’t be an issue—provided we could actually find that many creatures in this endless wasteland.

Two and a half hours had passed since we first stepped into the sixth scenario. On paper, forty-five or so hours left sounded like a comfortable cushion....

TGGG — Chapter 88: A Scorching Hot Surprise

Once we reached the Rift of Scenarios, we immediately joined the line. Thankfully, it was far shorter than it had been two days ago when we’d rechallenged the fourth scenario. Perhaps most divine warriors had already attempted the new scenario and were now regathering their strength to face the next one within a week.

Whatever the reason, we soon found ourselves greeted by Elysia with her usual serene expression. “Welcome, divine warriors. Do you wish to challenge the sixth scenario...

TGGG — Chapter 87: The Marvel of a Magic Engineer

It didn’t take me long to get back to District D and reach the training center. Without wasting time, I stepped inside the training hall to begin my training. Inside, the faint scent of polished wood mingled with the tang of sweat. As expected, Boris and Michelle were already training. Boris was pounding away at a massive, weighted dummy with his usual bone-jarring strikes, and Michelle was in the far corner, practicing precision shots at a moving target rig, hitting the bull’s eye whenev...

TGGG — Chapter 86: The Birth of the Genesis Order

Telling her the specifics of our request ended up taking far longer than expected. Every material had to be examined, every measurement taken twice, and every enhancement possibility discussed in detail. Tuilë insisted on asking about our combat styles, preferred weight distribution, and even minor quirks, such as how Michelle liked her bow grip slightly angled or how I preferred my buckler’s straps tighter than standard.

By the time we finished going over everything, the light strea...

MMA — Prologue [Volume 5]

High above the plateau, surrounded by deep chasms and the golden peaks of Mount Caelorum, stood the Arcane Radiance College — the foremost Magus academy and the supreme magical authority in the Luminos Kingdom. Its Magus towers pierced the heavens, and its grand halls echoed with the footsteps of those who had long shaped the world of magic.

But today, the tallest and most imposing Magus tower at the academy’s center was cloaked in a sense of unease.

Jacky strode slowly toward the Headmaster’s Office as his request for a private meeting with the headmaster having been approved. Walking alongside him was another player, his acolyte robe’s hood pulled up and his posture slightly tense, as if he were about to face a tribunal.

“So, can you remind me again why you're trying to hide your face with the hood? It’s not going to help at all, Kuro,” Jacky commented. Before a powerful Magus, any tricks they tried to cover their faces ...

As we ventured deeper into District D’s crafting area, the air grew thicker with the scent of iron, oil, and smoke. The sharp, rhythmic clang of metal striking metal echoed from every direction, forming a chaotic symphony of industry. We passed storefronts showcasing finely crafted gear—armor gleaming on display racks, weapons resting behind thick glass, and artisans shouting deals to passing divine warriors.

Compared to the scattered smithies in District E, this place was far more ...

“Appreciate the offer,” I said carefully, “but we’re fine on our own. That said, I don’t mind a bit of cooperation if the situation calls for it.”

Marcel didn’t look surprised. “I figured you’d say that. You’re independent—and that’s something I respect. Reaching this level without the backing of a faction isn’t something just anyone can do.” He looked me square in the eyes. “Still, things are going to get harder soon. When they do, if you ever reconsider, ...

Boris blinked at her compliment, then grinned in that usual self-assured way of his.

“Gahaha! You’ve got sharp eyes, madam,” he said, giving a polite bow. “Name’s Boris Ivanovich Volkov—Russian, ex-military, and connoisseur of fine drink. We’re looking for lodging for the foreseeable future.”

The woman chuckled, bringing a hand to her cheek, clearly flattered. “Well, Mr. Boris, you certainly know how to make an impression. I’m Merida, and this inn’s been in m...

Smoke billowed through the sky as the remnants of the Merlin family’s fleet limped away from the academy that had been their target. More than half of their dirigibles had fallen to the ground in blazing ruin, and those that remained were heavily damaged — balloon fabrics torn, decks ablaze, and crews scrambling in desperation. The once-mighty skyborne force had been reduced to a pitiful cluster of broken airships drifting southward like dying whales.

Aboard one of the rear vessels,...

Beginning with his usual combo, Victor cast {Gap Hole} — spatial rifts opened all around Alphonse in a chaotic net. Without waiting, he followed up by casting {Warpblade} multiple times until there were a total of dozens of ethereal blades. The Cosmic Rubik above his palm spun like a gyroscope, exuding an otherworldly pressure as it empowered his spells with devastating force.

I raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

Her gaze sharpened, and I could sense there was more behind her words than what she just said.

“I’ve been holding off on challenging new scenarios ever since Graham and his lackeys started targeting anyone close to Daleth rank,” she explained. “But now that the mandatory scenario system is in place, I’ve started challenging them again.”

She paused briefly before continuing, “All this time, I’ve gone through the scenarios solo, a...

“Hmph. Don’t you underestimate me!” I snapped, activating Fast Equip and switching to my spear.

The shaft of the spear materialized in my hand, and I spun it once before adjusting my grip, my buckler raised protectively in front of me. While I was slightly more proficient with the sword, the spear offered a better advantage in this situation. Given that the dueling cube was only ten meters wide, the weapon’s superior reach allowed me to control the space and keep Erika at bay wi...

She studied me for a moment with a look that bordered on curiosity and calculation. Her gaze wasn’t aggressive, but it carried the weight of someone who didn’t speak unless they had a reason to. There was no hostility—only a sharp, quiet confidence.

“You are him, aren’t you?” she said again, this time not as a question, but a statement. “The one who took down Graham before he turned into a monster.”

“I suppose I am,” I replied, folding my arms. Considering hund...

Standing just outside the building, I glanced up at the engraved plaque above the entryway: “District D’s Training Hall.”

“Let’s head in,” I said, pushing the door open.

As soon as we stepped inside the building, the cool air immediately washed over us—likely regulated by wind and chill runes embedded in the walls. The interior was clean, bright, and far more organized than any training facility I’d seen in District E. The entrance opened into a spacious reception ...

For a good few seconds, there was no response.

Rex remained slumped against the wall, barely breathing, eyes half-lidded as though teetering on the edge of unconsciousness. But then, slowly, he turned his head. One bloodshot eye peeked through tangled strands of red hair and fixed itself on me.

There was nothing left of the fiery, confident man I once knew. No strength, no pride. Just exhaustion, pain… and yet, buried deep within that hollow gaze, something flickered. A faint, f...

“Yup.” I nodded as I approached the counter. “I’m looking for two specific ones this time—Calm Mind and Fast Equip. Do you have them in stock?”

She tilted her head thoughtfully, then turned toward one of the nearby shelves filled with neatly organized skill books sorted by type and rank.

“Both are fairly common utility skills,” she said while scanning the titles. “We should have a few copies left… Ah, here we go.”

She pulled out two slim volumes bound i...
