My Ruined Academy Life

Summary of My Ruined Academy Life Manhwa

The golden gates of Amonith Academy gleamed under the midday sun, their intricate carvings of scholars and warriors etched into centuries of tradition. Amon Drake, clutching his suitcase, paused to take in the grandeur. This was supposed to be the pinnacle of his career—a stepping stone to influence, prestige, and wealth.

His reverie was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. A frazzled man in a rumpled suit skidded to a stop in front of him. “You must be Mr. Drake,” the man panted, extending a hand. “Welcome to Amonith. I’m Gregory, the head of administration.”

Amon shook Gregory’s hand and followed him through the campus, marveling at the ancient buildings, ivy-covered walls, and sprawling gardens. It was everything he had imagined, except for the noticeable absence of students.

Gregory’s forced cheeriness faltered as they entered the staff lounge. The room reeked of stale alcohol, and the teachers inside looked more like patrons of a seedy bar than esteemed educators. A burly man with a cigar clenched between his teeth growled something unintelligible, and a woman in the corner sipped from a flask without bothering to hide it.

Amon turned to Gregory, his brow furrowed. “Where is everyone?”

Gregory hesitated before answering. “Ah, well, enrollment has… declined in recent years.”

“Declined?”

A snide voice cut in. “Haven’t you heard?” A man in a flamboyant suit lounged against the doorway, tossing a coin between his fingers. “This academy is on the brink of bankruptcy, and the only people left are the gambling dean and us alcoholic teachers. Welcome aboard, newbie.”

Amon felt the blood drain from his face. His dreams of prestige and prosperity shattered into fragments. He forced a smile. “Surely this is some kind of exaggeration?”

“Not in the slightest,” the man replied, pocketing the coin.

Later that night, in the solitude of his new quarters, Amon sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the peeling wallpaper. If the academy was truly failing, his contract—and the promised salary—would become null and void. His hard-earned reputation would take a hit, and the road to recovery could be long and treacherous.

But, he reasoned, if the academy fails entirely, wouldn’t that absolve him of responsibility?

He leaned back, a faint smirk curling his lips. “They say the right exit strategy is a measure of intelligence,” he muttered. “If I don’t want to risk my career, maybe I should let the academy fail.”

With that thought, the wheels of his mind began turning. The wisest man in the world’s escape from Amonith Academy had officially begun.
