LCD - How to Survive at the Academy (2024)

Final Act: Ed is forcing the ending to correct itself, telling the main characters to find Velbrok and slay the dragon. In the meantime, Sylvania appears as the mad sage driven mad by the neverending darkness called the ending credits which ends their world once the story is done. She slays the majority of the faculty members in Trix Hall. Ed decides to solo her until he cannot fight any longer. There, he is rescued by Yennika and taken away to the imperial residence where he meets princess Selah and Fenia. Saving the princesses and Emperor Chloe, he tells the princess and the others to gather at Ophelis hall and organize a strike force to slay the dragon. Meanwhile, Lucy is having a 1v1 with Sylvania and is about to lose when Yennika and Ed drop in. Yennika now confident in herself and no longer shackled by her fears is able to control the dark spirit Glaskan and she does an appearance change. Ed talks to Lucy and gives her the phoenix ring which gives the wielder the ability to wield magic beyond their current level from the future but will prevent them from using magic due to the overburdening. Sylvania is surprised there was even a future after this to draw power from. Together all three defeat her, sort of, before she casts space curtain to drag Ed into the void. In the void, he confronts her who has regained her sanity during the fight with Glaskan-wielding Yennika. She realizes she must make amends for her nihilism, but he cuts her off. She says that the balance was tipped out of balance when Ed was brought from his world, so he suggests sending her to his world in return. After consideration, she goes to his world and awakens to find herself as an aspiring game designer living off of cookies. Before she could not see the future beyond the end credits, now in our world, she can just make that future instead. Back to Ed, he returns to their world and finds Lortel comforting him. It appears that they had succeeded in defeating Velbrok and the demons are no more.

Epilogue: Ed is now a celebrity professor who has mastered different kinds of magic and is talented in most fields. Tracy, his senior is his assistant professor. The academy is rebuilding itself after 2 years and those with experience have flocked to fill the empty positions in the academy. Tracy is tasked to find Ed and give him his assignments, so she heads to the Roth Taylor estate. There she is greeted by Bell who is now working for the family. She appears to have her reasons for leaving, but that will be mentioned later on in the epilogue. Tracy then meets Yennika who has grown up from the Disney princess she once was to a young woman. They talk and soon they are greeted by Lucy who is the reason for Bell leaving. Bell and two other maids are in charge of Lucy, spending their time grooming her into a proper lady much to Lucy's dismay. Tracy goes on to meet Tanya who has matured quite a bit during her time as a school president and head of Roth Taylor, although she still has a habit of hiding in dark spaces to avoid her problems. Tracy comes to the realization that in order for the Roth Taylor family to thrive, Tanya has decided to take advantage of the fact that Ed has a harem, rather than run away from it. Now that his harem consisted of a spirit shaman, a genius wizard, a saintess, a CEO, and possibly one or two princesses, he was the strongest figure in the empire going by the number of girls who loves him. She heads back to the academy as Ed had already gone back to Aken Island for work. We move to Ed's POV and he is reminiscing over the past. His camp went from a few huts and a campfire to a private laboratory. He is joined by Taylor who apologizes for not understanding that Ed was looking out for him and that Ed always knew what would happen next. Ed apologizes for putting that burden on Taylor and we get a scene change. We see new students waiting for their placement test, eagerly awaiting for the test to start. Ed and Tracy walk in and the crowd is amazed by the presence of a celebrity. Ed announces the start of the placement test and he explains, that the test is to go to Northern Forest with the cliff and survive as he did.

No conclusion as to who he picks as the others have mentioned. The only thing we know is that Yennika has concluded that it'll end up as a harem and she'll have to find a place in it.

Gotta say, school parts were probably better than the finale and the epilogue. Also, this guy doesn't even go full crafter and start blacksmithing on the spot like FFXIV. Sort of felt like the stats and etc could have been removed and nothing would change for the crafting or combat. Some of the things he does doesn't have a conclusion, and we just skip to Fenia being queen as the story predicted. The part with Prince Lindon was sort of disappointing. Assumed there was much more to the issue but it was just a simple case of staring too long at depression.
