Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 164
Chapter 164
164fury. note test(3)
A fight between someone who is trying to provide information in any way and someone who has no clue whatsoever..
The winner is of course.
“Thanks for the advice! I'll go first!”
“……okay.”
It was Luna. After finishing her conversation with her Charon, she left her place..
This is because we had to take care of Leger, who had fallen due to centrifugal force..
“…….”
A conversation that was frustrating to watch.
But there was a gentle smile on Charon’s lips..
Is it the proud smile of a father??
Of course, there was a smile on my face too..
“Huhuhu.”
“……What. Those eyes.”
“Are you saying you can see my eyes? I can't believe I see narrow eyes. What a strange thing..”
“bouncer. You'd better not let your guard down. The letter test will never be easy.”
“I think so. It's an evolution of the entrance exam..”
Charon frowned..
“……I gave too many hints.”
I responded lightly by shrugging my shoulders..
I knew from the beginning, but I'm acting like I found out thanks to Luna..
If you say you knew before then, the psychological warfare from hell will begin again as to where you got the information..
I wanted to avoid that kind of thing as much as possible..
“I guess I'll just have to go. Make sure you work hard too.”
Charon turned around..
He is truly a pathetic guy. He was about to leave as soon as his business was done..
‘I can't send it like this.’
A puzzle piece called ‘Rhenia’s Death’ obtained through Lucia..
You have to use it to solve the puzzle called Charon..
This may be due to the deceased's desire to know all the stories in this game..
‘If you're lucky, you might be able to attract Charon as an ally..’
Become on the same side as the imperial rat.?
You can get most of the information easily..
When Charon took a few steps towards the entrance to the training ground, he opened his mouth..
“Anyway, I was really surprised.?”
“……?”
“I never would have guessed that the person who took care of Renia-sama was Teacher Karon. Wow, that was a real shock. I thought I was making progress in this direction... … I guess it's still a long way off.”
Charon turned and looked at me..
In fact, it was closer to glaring, but I decided to place significance in stopping for now..
He glanced in Luna's direction and came towards me..
“What's surprising is actually mine. Are you saying you didn't know that until now??”
Now that I think about it, Lucia was like that. It's an incident that everyone knows about..
So it is not unreasonable for Charon to say that..
‘The information I have provided so far is considerable..’
A child with a lot of suspiciously good information..
So, of course, he would have information that he killed Renia. he would have thought so.
‘Maybe it's one of the reasons you saved me from the anthill..’
I am the one who said I dreamed of being the Leicester family rat..
However, even though he knows that he killed Renia, he confidently approaches her.?
You couldn't help but think highly of me..
“…….”
Charon looked at me intently..
You know confidential information, but you don't know non-secret information..
You might think it's strange.
But it's not to the point of being suspicious..
There's a reason our relationship is too strong to be suspicious about something like this..
In the first place, information tends to be focused in the direction one wants..
“Come to think of it, you said you dreamed of being the Leicester family rat. So, are you planning on taking revenge now??”
“Is that possible? Rather, I felt confident..”
“assurance?”
“yes.”
[Open your eyes] Open your mouth while using the skill.
“I'm sure you're hiding something... … I mean.”
Charon's mood changed. As intended.
Now I am in an extremely serious state. If you've been falsely accused, tell me. I will listen.
[[Open eyes] skill seemed to imply the above sentence.
Use of skills to hear Charon's inner thoughts.
but.
“There is nothing hidden. I killed him and decapitated him. That's it..”
Charon did not reveal his true feelings easily..
He is a truly annoying person. How about you tell me?.
“Hehe, I don't think he's protecting Luna out of simple guilt..”
“……never protected.”
How can you say something like that even after giving Luna a terminal artifact?.
He's such a shameless guy..
Well, I don't know if I can continue to react shamelessly even after hearing the next words..
“Hehe, one of the enemies is Teacher Charon... … I'm really curious how Miss Luna will react if she finds out about this..”
“……!”
Charon's complexion hardened..
At the same time, the frozen face distorted. It's like looking into a mirror full of cracks..
This expression doesn't fit when describing a person's facial expression, but it can't be helped..
Because it’s the first time I’ve ever seen an expression like that..
‘I didn't know you would react like this. Does that mean she doesn't want to be hated by Luna??’
If I didn't have eyes to see, my neck might have turned 180 degrees..
But the expression changed only for a moment..
The distorted face returned to its original state in an instant..
Did he realize his mistake? Charon burst out laughing..
“As expected, one provocation is top-notch. There's no way you would tell Luna about that..”
“Hehe, why do you think that??”
“Because you have to do business with me and get information about them..”
bastards.
I'm talking about the guys who framed the Lester family and accused them of treason..
“If Luna harbors hostility toward me, there will be a major disruption in information exchange in the future. I don't think you'd do something stupid like that..”
That's correct. I won't tell Luna that Charon killed Rhenia..
But the reason is slightly different from what Charon thought..
I already know exactly who the ‘culprit’ who made the Lester family like that is, and that is why.
‘I just won't tell Luna the truth..’
Yes. Although Charon killed Rhenia, it was those bad guys who created that situation..
I don't know what happened, but I guess he had to kill Renia due to unavoidable circumstances..
So we can't say that Charon is the problem..
Of course, Luna may view Charon as a target of revenge..
I forgive the person who killed my mother because there were unavoidable circumstances.?
It's not easy..
Anyway, unless it's something special, I won't tell Luna that Charon killed Rhenia..
‘I thought Charon would understand my intentions right away.…….’
It only lasted a moment, but Charon couldn't control his emotions..
It must mean that he cares for Luna that much..
“you're right. It's other guys that Miss Luna should be envious of. Those dirty bastards who made the Leicester family like that..”
“…….”
“So please tell me the truth about that day. You don't know, do you? Maybe Miss Luna will understand.”
Luna was used to pressure Charon..
but.
“……There is no such thing. There is no need for that child to understand..”
stubborn.
If you apply more pressure than this, it is not surprising that your neck may turn..
For now, I decided to take a step back..
“Well, that's it. I just need to find out.”
“Stop it. Let's dwell on the past. Nothing changes..”
“Even if we can't change the past, we can improve our future relationships. Do you plan to stay by Luna's side, hiding your secret for the rest of your life??”
“…….”
Charon closed his mouth. Maybe she thinks that kind of relationship isn't that bad..
Don't you know that the longer you cheat, the more hurt the other person will suffer??
‘Well, it's not something I care about..’
There will be another opportunity to collect the puzzle pieces about Charon..
So, you should focus on other things, on what is right in front of you..
‘There are two things that need to be solved right now.’
First, the fifth main quest, ‘Get recognition from Lucia.’.
This is a pass for now. There is still a week left, but there is no clear breakthrough..
Then second.
‘How do you get that damn sunfish rabbit into the honors class?…….’
An incident occurs during the midterm exam, and if the current plan is followed, it is possible to explode like during the ant colony..
Since the students from the top class will be put into groups, Leger's promotion is essential..
In other words, Leger must achieve excellent grades in this paper exam and be promoted to the advanced class..
And in order to increase that probability even a little,…….
“I need something.”
“What?”
“I need to get a confirmation first. Could you please get me what I want before the test??”
“……I don't know what it is, but judging by your reaction, it seems like I can do enough to save you..”
After all, it is Charon. If you pretend, you pretend.
As the deadline was tight, I knew that I would ask for common sense..
“Of course, if you pay enough..”
“We'll answer any questions you may have. Oh, except for the question about the Leicester family..”
“Is this providing selective information? This is very impudent behavior..”
10Has it been about a second? Charon continued..
“Okay, what do you want??”
“First, you'll need three intermediate artifacts that block illusion magic..”
“……You're saying you're going to take the second test the next day..”
As he said.
As mentioned earlier, this paper test is an evolution of the entrance test..
Labyrinths, illusion magic, and duels.
There are small changes, but the big picture has not changed. This is especially true for illusion magic..
‘If you have the artifact, you can easily attack it..’
Not only Luna but also Leger will be able to endure it well..
“That's stupid. You don't think they'll ban the artifact??”
“Hehe, then it can't be helped. But haven't you decided to allow it??”
Guessing what the test is is also a skill..
Yes. Today, when the message test was announced, the test had already started..
This means that inferring the content of the paper test is also a part of the test..
‘During the entrance exam, there were children who obtained information through fraudulent means. So Elester used strong magic, but…….’
This time it's an ordinary illusion magic circle..
A mid-level artifact should be enough to overcome illusion magic..
“Think however you like. bouncer.”
“Judging by the reaction, I guess what I said was true. I took a picture and guessed it right. Wow~ I had no idea my photography skills were this good.?”
“Shut up and keep saying whatever you want..”
Instead of sympathizing with me, you cursed me..
This is why T doesn't work.
‘A guy like Yuridia!’
I felt a little more at ease. Because I cursed very harshly in my mind..
“You need an artifact that eliminates odor..”
“Other than that, something else?”
“doesn't exist.”
Charon rummaged through his arms and took out something and threw it..
It is a small, square-shaped container. An unidentified hippopotamus pattern was drawn on the outside..
‘information window.’
[Pure white hippopotamus :D]
This is an artifact developed by a wizard to get rid of terrible foot odor..
Excellent for removing odor.
cleanliness +10%
Odor Eliminating Artifact.
It's not surprising that Charon has it..
Although it is a low-level artifact that even ordinary people can afford,.
‘Because Charon is an assassin.’
Smell is a no-no for those who have to work in secret..
Eliminating odor is essential.
That's why he kept it with him at all times and threw it to me..
“We will try to obtain the illusion defense artifact as quickly as possible..”
“Hehe, thank you.”
It was while I was collecting artifacts. Charon asked quietly..
“Where do you plan on using that??”
Where are you planning to use it? Of course.
“Hehe, it's a secret.?”
Charon's face became cold..
