Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 50

Episode 50

50fury. anthill(10)

“fool… … you are such a fool.”

“Yes~ Yes. I told you I was sorry.”

Sniffle-.

Luna took another big sniff..

I rinsed my hair and clothes with water, took out the hair tie from the subspace, and tied Luna's hair into twintails..

If you take away our Luna’s twin tails, the only thing left is her dog-like personality..

Why do you carry a hair tie??

In order to raise a child, you have to take everything with you..

Well, the problem was that the baby was 15 years old..

But despite my utmost sincerity, there was nothing I could do about my puffy eyes..

“Sniff… … Don't be mistaken.”

“yes?”

“I'm not crying because you're not there! you died... … Oh, no, I cried because I was afraid I might have gotten hurt somewhere..”

Did he not want to even say the word dead?.

‘It's cute.’

Some people may think that he has fierce eyes, but when he says things like that with swollen eyes, it's not very persuasive..

“Is it real? I don't think I would even blink if you died!?”

“Hehe, it would be kind of sad if something like that happened..”

“Oh, no... … That doesn't mean it's really like that. I will save you before you die. He must be sad when his friend dies…….”

Did he realize his mistake?.

Luna didn't know what to do..

I lightly stroked Luna’s head..

“Hehe, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, we'll stick together from next time..”

I felt Luna softening..

When it comes to soothing a child, the best combo is praise and petting..

“Who, do you know who is your lover?!?”

Luna slapped my hand away and rushed towards me..

Well, now Luna is back to her usual self..

I was lost in thought, ignoring her chewing on my head..

‘What was Charon's deal with Renia??’

There were only three things certain now.

Luna was involved.

There is a need to keep me from getting close to Luna..

And it's a request from Luna's mother, Renia..

If that's the case then surely……!

‘Is this a deal to find Luna a good man??’

Then I'm perfect.

Because I'm a really good guy.

A man who is good enough to give his head to the fierce Luna!

“From now on, don’t take even one step away from me..”

“……yes?”

“I'm so anxious, where will I fall? From now on, wherever we go, we'll be together. I know so!”

Anger control disorder, stalker temperament.

Add to this the separation anxiety disorder.?

This is my only party member?

I feel dizzy, really..

“Oh, zero! Are you safe? thank god.”

A group of students approached me..

They were three groups of children who explored the ant cave together..

“Miss Luna is truly amazing! Thanks to that, she was able to confess.!”

“that's right. I survived thanks to you?”

The confession killer(?) who was spreading clichés was also safe..

Listening to the conversation, it seemed like Luna saved the children..

‘Did Luna fill the void left by Charon??’

[Lv. 21]

It was a number floating above Luna's head..

He was 18 before he broke up with me, which means he went up a whopping 3 levels..

furthermore.

[Love/hate A]

I even got a new skill.

I suddenly gained a skill, even an A level one..

‘Love and hate is a synergy skill.’

Synergy skill is a passive skill that is activated when there is a character among party members that meets the conditions..

And [Love and Hate] is a skill that has the effect of increasing or decreasing overall stats..

Stats increase and decrease. What does that mean??

If there is an opponent that meets the conditions, the stat increase effect is effective..

This means that the effect of reducing stats is applied when you are not around..

‘As far as I know, Class A is ±25%.’

For reference, if you are S class, ±50% of the stats are applied..

Yes. It's a scam.

However, it was a skill with a significant penalty..

First, if a problem occurs with a character that meets the conditions, the synergy effect disappears immediately..

Considering the current situation, the target of Luna’s [love/hate] is me..

If I fall far away, faint, or die, the effect of [Love and Hate] disappears immediately..

Immediately receive a –25% penalty to all stats..

Second, the penalty is excessively large..

-25% when I am not with them. As much as 1/4 becomes weaker..

And this will have a bigger impact as your level increases and your stats increase..

Third, it's better not to expect that skill to become S-level..

This is because it is impossible for a skill to reach S level through normal methods..

Because in this game, S rank is not just one level difference..

‘There is such a huge difference that it is safe to say that the skill itself changes..’

Yes. S-level is a level that can be reached not only through hard work, but also through luck..

That's why there was a 25% difference between the A class and S class figures..

And this is it.

‘That's why old people gamble on their potential.’

Because you can acquire S-class skills that change the direction.

Although it was random, it was a gamble worth taking considering the value of S-class skills..

‘Come to think of it, I have accumulated enough points to gamble on my potential again..’

I have risen to level 10 at the ant spawning ground..

And that too with just one [glimpse].

‘perhaps… … The reason Charon was designed to appear may have been to prevent this.?’

It's a game where it becomes increasingly difficult to level up, but if you continued to use your skills, you would have been able to level up to at least 50..

There must have been more than one problem that resulted from that..

They designed Charon to appear to prevent the balance from collapsing..

also.

‘I heard this game is fun?’

I wanted to gamble on my potential right now, but I suppressed my feelings..

Because there are too many eyes to see.

I also had to consider the case where I might acquire skills that are forcibly displayed..

‘To summarize the harvest from this ant tunnel:…….’

10Level up, get 100pts to gamble potential.

10 gold and 1 skill level up point obtained by clearing the quest.

Discovering Charon’s hidden piece, establishing a minimal trust relationship.

Here’s Luna’s growth.

A huge harvest was achieved. And that too in just one day.

‘What is the love/hate skill... … I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s bad..’

Rather, it is Luna whose stats increase by +25% if she is with me..

There was almost no chance of us falling apart, so I thought it would be okay not to worry too much..

“Oh, zero! You were safe.!”

Someone running from far away.

It was Raymon..

Two children followed Raimon..

Alex is the main character of this game. And the magic genius Yuridia..

‘Looks like we met as planned..’

The Ant Cave episode is where the first battle takes place..

It was the episode where the three became aware of each other's existence for the first time..

We'll be apart for a while, but in the future we'll become friends as we get caught up in various incidents..

‘I was a little worried about Charon leaving.…….’

Fortunately, it seemed to go just as well as the original..

‘The level... … It's high.’

All three went up one or two more than I expected..

Not only Luna but the other children also grew one step further..

‘Was it an effect without Charon??’

In a way, it was only natural that the instructor and the children split the ants that Charon should have killed..

It's not bad. As the main characters become stronger, the probability of clearing this game increases..

‘This might also be one of the hidden pieces. I'm so glad it ended without incident.’

1It was fortunate that the main characters who were supposed to be part of the party were safe, but Raimon had a friend..

It might take a little more time to be with those two, but it's only a matter of time..

It was important to have someone to rely on..

Are you conscious of my gaze?.

Raimon said, waving his arms left and right..

“Oh no! It's not like that.!”

“……?”

“Although they are new, new friends, they are not as close as Zero! So don't get me wrong!”

What is this guy saying now??

What a misunderstanding. I thought it was fortunate that the three of us met each other.!

Anyway, the problem is that guy's pure evil nature..

“what. Don't you get out of here? Zero is uncomfortable!”

“Lu, Luna! He was harassing Zero again! Turn it off, it's you who needs to turn it off.!”

“what? Is there anyone who treats Zero as well as me?!”

Luna, why don't you talk first without your mouth biting my head??

I think that will make it more persuasive..

“Ooh, ooh... … ! I'm also capable of that level of skinship.?”

Does this look like skinship? Am I sane??

And I don't want to get bitten by a man.?

“It's melong. Zero isn't the kind of girl that just anyone will give skin to, right? Even though he looks like this, he's a guy with some integrity..”

This was me doing skinship.?

Having your head forcibly bitten off?

“Well, unlike you, I'm a best friend! It means that we are very close friends..”

“Best friend!? Because I’m closer? I'm bebebebebebepp!!”

Luna, there is no such word in this world.?

‘Just because there are a lot of 'be' letters doesn't mean you're closer..

“Please give me back my friend!”

“Where is this talking back from??”

Luna started pulling Raimon's head..

My hands are pretty strong.

[[Love/Hate] The skill also applies to grabs like that.?

Thanks for the new information, Luna..

“Hey, let go of this.!”

“Just hang out with new friends! Why are you sticking with us??”

“Well, I like zero better.!”

“Our Zero doesn't like people like you!”

“Well, it’s not your zero, it’s my zero.!”

evil! evil!

Luna and Raimon's heartbreaking fight has begun..

I had no intention of stopping him..

Because children usually grow up fighting..

“hello?”

It was then.

Yuridia smiled and greeted me..

‘You think you have a good opportunity..’

Come face to face with me and make your presence known.

And ultimately, he recommends subordination to himself..

For your information, there have been a few times when Yurydiapa sent someone, but they have never visited in person..

‘It must be because of the pride of nobility and the pride of leading a faction..’

He wanted me to come first and establish his authority..

And this was no different for Teron..

My pride wouldn't allow me to come visit him in person, so I just kept sending people..

He continued to flirt, but he didn't respond, so it must have been a pain in the ass..

But an opportunity like this arose..

‘I guess you'll think it's the best luck..’

What was important was that we met by chance, rather than making an appointment or visiting on our own..

Ordinary people might ask, “What’s the difference?”.

It was a completely different concept for nobles with high standards of opinion..

Heaven and earth, is that such a big difference??

“Hehe, hello. It's called zero.”

“Of course I knew. If you're a new student, it's impossible not to know Zero's name. This is my first time greeting you. The three daughters of the Rounter family. This is Eurydia de Rounter..”

The school uniform was a little torn, but it couldn't hurt Yuridia's dignity in the slightest..

Extremely polite and courteous attitude.

of course.

‘You might be thinking something completely different inside..’

Actually, Yuridia is quite a tomboy..

but she is noble.

He is even praised as a magic genius and has high expectations from his family..

Even if I wanted to reveal my real personality, I couldn't..

‘Well, I know that the family reformed through education and guidance.…….’

In reality, not even 1% of Euridia could be changed..

This is because Yuridia’s acting skills and patience were quite outstanding..

In summary, if you think of yourself as ‘living with a mask on’, it will be easier to understand what kind of character you are..

Even now, you're probably saying this inside..

‘Ah, being polite is such a hassle. Still, since this is our first meeting, we should be careful.?’

-Called.

not a bad kid.

He's just a slightly(?) different child on the outside and the inside..

For reference, Yuridia has nicknames such as Two-Faced Yuridia, Asura Yuridia, and Jekyll and Yuridia..

This is because when playing the game as Yuridia, the inner thoughts are displayed in parentheses along with the dialogue..

For example.

“It's an honor to meet you. I sent someone, but I guess they were upset because they didn't reply? Of course, just a little bit..”

It's me, you 10 bastard. I sent someone, but why didn’t they come??

And even ignoring it? Do you want to go a little further??

……I will go.
