Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 113

Episode 113

113fury. Afterword(3)

Until you reach the end of the long hallway.

The Marquis of Asizu's flattery continued without a moment's rest..

Marquis Luke gave hints and rebuked him from time to time, but he was not the Marquis of Assis who would give in to such things..

In the first place, due to the gentle nature of Marquis Luke, even if he tried to insult him, he could hardly give it to him..

In the end, Marquis Luke, who was not used to being flattered, was the first to back down..

“……Don't you have any balls? Well, cheer up. If that's how you survive, I'll respect it. but.”

Marquis Luke said, squeezing Marquis Asis's shoulders strongly..

“Remember that there are always eyes watching, Marquis Asizu..”

After speaking, Marquis Luke disappeared in an instant..

Marquis Asizu left alone at the end of the hallway.

“Tsk.”

I couldn't help but click my tongue. Because what Marquis Luke said was true..

After driving out the Leicester family and taking over as the new pillar, other nobles kept him in check, but too many eyes were placed on him..

Because of this, it is not easy to move around..

‘Well, that's enough. Because it’s important to be in the position of a pillar.’

There were many small and large disturbances, but the important thing was that the pillar was occupied..

It is safe to say that the plan to ascend to the throne of emperor has been accelerated by 50 years..

‘Lucid family... … What a great family. But that's only for now.’

Marquis Asiz had no intention of destroying the Lucid family..

When your family ascends to the position of emperor, the family that will be more loyal than anyone else will be the Lucid family..

There's no way that noble family would do that.?

No, you will have no choice but to follow yourself..

‘Marquis Luke, I know you made a deal with the devil..’

It was clear that the information was obtained at a high price..

The problem is I don't know what the deal is.

Moreover, if you made a deal with the devil, it will be visible on the outside and inside..

But there was no trace of it at all..

‘If only we could find out what Marquis Luke's deal with the devil was.…….’

You won't dare attack yourself..

All they can do is swear allegiance.

Wow-.

Marquis Asiz clenched his fists..

I want to be close, but due to the power structure, I have no choice but to stay away..

The truly pathetic Lucid family.

‘You and your descendants will bow at the feet of our family..’

It would be a good feeling to ascend to the position of emperor, but the feeling of subjugating the noble Lucid family would be just as great..

In the first place, he would challenge for the throne only after two or three generations, so the only thing he could enjoy was bringing the Lucid family to its knees..

How much pleasure and sense of conquest would you feel if you saw them kneeling in a line in front of you?.

‘……I'm so excited.’

After adjusting my clothes, I calmly reviewed what had happened a moment ago..

Demon raids, awards, priest dispatches, noble councils, and…….

‘Dwenor.’

Who would have thought that incompetent writer would receive a prize, especially a 7th place prize..

I thought this was a dream.

‘Could it be that you fooled me??’

Until last year, he was a Dwener who was very active and destroyed everything he touched..

As a result, Elester was dispatched under the pretext of taking a break..

He was gradually planting people from his side in the Ministry of Magic where there was a gap..

However, it is not enough to leave behind a rare and famous story, it turns the child who sacrificed himself into a hero..

Until the students who were in danger due to the devil's attack were saved from danger.?

If you just look at what's listed, isn't he an incredibly talented person?.

‘1Did he show his true colors after hiding for years??’

The Marquis of Asizu thought for a moment and shook his head..

No, that can't be true..

I already knew he was incompetent the first time I saw him..

Conversation, knowledge, words and actions, etc..

It was safe to say that he was an example of an incompetent person..

I can't believe he's performing like that..

I had a hard time understanding how things were going..

‘I don't like it.’

As I said before, after becoming a pillar, more eyes are watching me..

Dwenor could not be reached..

‘There is no need for words that cannot be controlled…….’

The Marquis of Asizu was fiddling with the card of dismissal in his mind..

He quickly shook the thought away..

‘Well, it would be like a cow backing up and catching a mouse..’

The luck of an incompetent fly. I decided to think about it like that..

‘Because I didn't really lose anything. The grand plan is going well... … There's no need to fire him right now..’

But the Marquis of Asizu only realized it later..

The very fact that I had the name Dwenor in my head.

Something went wrong, my plan started to go wrong..

That it was the ‘starting point’.

* * *

“omg!”

The whole surroundings are full of darkness. Even though I was in a hurry, I looked around..

Because I have to run away. Because I need to run away from the devil.

“Huh... … Whoop…….”

But no matter how much I looked around, there was no devil in sight..

It was strange. Vineth's Green Eyes.

It was clearly right in front of me.

“…….”

After calmly looking around, I was able to figure out what was going on..

It's dawn now, and this is the infirmary..

I had a nightmare and woke up.

That's it.

Aside from the fact that my entire body was wet and wet with sweat, there was nothing unusual about it..

“Hehe, I'm in trouble..”

I got my emotions together in an instant..

[[Mental Defense] This is because the skill demonstrated its power..

One surprising thing here!

[[Mental Defense] The skill blocks illusions and protects the mind..

You can't use that power in your dreams..

Wow, amazing. You make me feel the emotion of fear. thank you so much.

‘If you are going to do this, please let me apply it in my dreams too! Damn the system!’

I looked around carefully..

Rodelin, Alex, Raymon, Euridia, and finally Luna, who is sleeping while scratching her stomach..

Three days had passed since the Vineth attack, and we were living in the infirmary..

‘Because I came into contact with a devil, a 4th level devil at that..’

The investigation into what happened that day was an investigation, but it also had to be confirmed to see if anyone had been taken over by the devil..

There are more people than you might think who make contracts with the devil to save their lives in life-threatening situations..

Since it is an unfair contract led by the devil, it is natural that it will not end well..

That's why we had to stay in the infirmary..

Although class and exercise times were excluded, the instructors followed us and monitored us even then..

‘Well, today is the last day,’

From priests, teachers, and administrators dispatched from surrounding territories..

After a long period of checking, it was confirmed that none of us had fallen prey to the devil's trick..

As soon as the sun rises, you return to your normal daily life..

Still, weren't you happy spending three days with the main members??

Well, it was good to see a lot of faces. but…….

‘nothing happened.’

Luna sometimes came over to my bed, hugged me, and fell asleep..

It's just that the rumors about us are burning even more because of the children of the Euridia faction who saw that.?

Other than that, there was nothing much to do..

‘Because there were watchers attached..’

Party 1 members, including Rodelin.

There are probably a lot of things you want to say to me, but there are also a lot of things you want to ask me..

I have plenty of excuses prepared, so there is nothing to worry about..

Rather, the other problem is.

A window with moonlight shining down. There, I was lost in thought while feeling the cool breeze..

‘It was a murderous ending..’

It's also a bad ending where everyone but the player is killed..

If this were a game, it would have ended like that..

‘Attack of Vines. The trigger may be… … If you conquer the devil's side in Chapter 1.’

The Four Heavenly Kings Risvelt sends Vines to the Academy and destroys the resources the player has accumulated so far..

‘A valuable resource called ‘party member’..

This may be one of the measures to control balance..

[[Imitation of God] is a very deceptive skill..

‘3Even if you get it in the chapter, you can use your fraudulent power to advance to the final chapter... … I guess you were expecting it to be more than that in Chapter 1..’

A trap set by the production crew. I survived by avoiding that..

Why did we survive even though it was our first time on this route??

Because I'm a stagnant person?

no.

‘I got lucky.’

He put his hands together in front of his face and lamented lowly..

I thought about it for three days and this is the conclusion I came to..

I survived purely because of luck..

Artifact received from Charon.

Artifact stolen from Dyke.

The 9th Holy Sword awakened at the moment of crisis.

Leger's Arrow Attack.

[My decision to use [Demon Slave].

Rewriting artifacts.

During the Devil's Faction incident, Rodelin's family was used to restore Luther's honor..

Because of that, Lucia took a long walk to get here..

If even one of these is not accomplished?

‘Everyone died except me…….’

Images of children dying horrible deaths continued to haunt me..

[If it weren't for [mental defense], I might have vomited..

I was soaked in early morning emotions and thought about this and that, but as expected, there was only one conclusion..

‘becoming stronger.’

You must become strong at all costs.

Killing one more of Risvelt's demons.

Although the Academy's security has been strengthened, we cannot be sure that there will be no more attacks..

So you have to become strong. Whatever it takes.

‘information window.’

While scrolling slowly, I was able to find what I was looking for..

[Blood of the Demon: A]

I can feel the magic.

Penalty received due to opponent's magic power –50%.

Magical skill effect +25%.

Divine skill effect –25%.

I looked at the skill and muttered to myself..

‘I will use the skill level up points for the Demon's Blood skill..’

Reward obtained after clearing the quest to kill 100 demon beasts in an anthill.

Skill level up points.

When I declared that I would use it, light emanated from the information window..

I closed my eyes and blocked out the light..

Well, I have narrow eyes, so that's what other people would see..

After a while, an information window appeared before my eyes..

[‘The ‘Demon Blood’ skill has been promoted to S grade..]

[Blood of the Demon: S]

I can feel the magic.

Penalty received due to opponent's magic power –100%.

Magical skill effect +50%.

Divine skill effect –25%.

It is not an impulsive act committed in the early morning emotions..

This is the conclusion I came to after thinking about it for three days..

‘There will be more encounters with the devil in the future..’

Low-level devils are a problem, but the penalty you receive when facing a high-level devil is beyond imagination..

There were times when there was a decrease in stats, a drop in skill level, status abnormalities, and even a decrease in level..

‘In the case of Vines, there was a damage reduction penalty..’

This is one of the reasons why Vines endured our attacks with his entire body..

It was partly because I faced Vines when my level was low, but because the penalty from Magi was significant..

Less damage was done to Vines..

‘However, reducing the penalty by 100% means…….’

It meant ‘complete immunity’ to penalties imposed by the devil..

The effects of potions and buffs received from priests will be reduced by half, but this is well worth taking..

What should I do next?…….

‘I guess I'll have to tweak my plan a bit..’

I felt like I needed to change my priorities..

Future power is important, but immediate power must be strengthened..

And a little while ago, I was able to recall the method..

A way to easily strengthen your party and promote the second half at the same time.

as soon as.

Recruiting a new colleague.
