Academy Squinting but not dark-Episode 56

Episode 56

56fury. Deal with Charon(1)

“ha…….”

A sigh of relief flowed from my mouth as I reached the front of the room..

Luna wasn't joking when she said she wouldn't take even one step away from her..

There really wasn't even a single step left..

I never would have thought that the dormitory would be the only place where I could avoid Luna's eyes..

‘I need to think seriously about recruiting new colleagues..’

It won't be easy due to my narrow-eyed nature, but I have to do it..

If you don't get Luna a new toy, it won't be surprising if it breaks tomorrow..

sweet-.

I opened the door and entered the room..

It was late at night, but the room wasn't that dark..

Because the blue moonlight was coming through the window..

It was bright overall except for the corners..

“…….”

I looked around, but nothing had changed since I left..

Of course there were no people.

But I could feel it intuitively.

in my room.

‘……there is something?’

Why is it a question? Because the shape of that ‘something’ was not visible..

But I was sure there was something in my room..

[[Extra sense] kept sending me signals.

‘In the game, a red box indicates where something is, but…….’

This is reality.

I glanced around and looked around, but I couldn't see anything like a red box..

Instead, it seemed like I could feel it instinctively and sensuously..

‘Like the word ‘extra sense’..

‘It's not like I'm mistaken.’

[As you can see from [Mental Defense] and [Imitation of God], skills exert absolute power in this world..

In addition, [Extra sense] is an S-class skill obtained through potential gambling..

It is the same skill as the two skills listed previously..

I couldn't dismiss it as a simple illusion..

‘Extrasensory is a skill that lets you know that something is nearby..’

In the game, you can interact with it by going near the red box or using the trap disarming skill nearby..

this is my room.

There is no way the trap was set in less than a day..

Then again.

‘Most likely to be a human.’

As I concentrated my consciousness, it became clear..

In front of the closet, in the dark corner of the room.

there was something there.

‘First of all, we are not enemies.’

If it were an enemy, it would have attacked me right away..

The basic idea of ​​a surprise attack is to do it before the opponent notices..

There is no need to waste time like this..

‘no way… … Is it Luna??’

If so, then you really are a crazy stalker..

As soon as we parted ways, he came into the room before me and hid there.?

I felt a little cold sweat running down my back..

‘no, that won't be it.’

Normally, I would have thought it was most likely Luna..

But no matter how much I thought about it, it was physically impossible..

It was one thing to come in before me, but Luna's skills were too low to even be able to hide..

then.

‘He must have been sent by Teronpa or Eurydiapa..’

10 stores. And even the first certificate of recognition bearing the president’s seal..

I will make you belong to my faction even through counter-threats..

He must have been the one who sent it for that..

‘what. You were surprised for no reason?’

Although he has great stealth skills, he is ultimately an academy student..

[[Ilsom] It’s cut in one shot..

On the other hand, he may have been trying to threaten me by pointing a weapon from behind..

‘To me, who waged hellish psychological warfare with Charon, this is nothing..’

That's all. Charon the Murder Tank really strangles you..

I felt for a moment what death was like in his hands..

To me, pointing a weapon was just child's play..

‘Teron or Euridia, I have no intention of entering either..’

I didn't want to intervene and change the future..

[You can easily handle it by using [Ilsom], but if you make a mistake, you will end up killing that innocent student..

then.

‘Make yourself bluff and withdraw.’

Heojangseongse (虛張聲勢)).

But what the strong do is not bravado..

‘Leisure'.

Grumbling-.

I took out a chair and sat down..

The closet is on the other side..

In other words, I have now turned my back on an unknown enemy..

In times like these, it is important to have the luxury of pretending that nothing is wrong..

I know that someone is hiding, but I can afford to take you down at any time..

‘I was pretending not to know, but in fact I knew everything! It feels like.’

Okay. I think it's cool too.

Now, let’s put our thoughts into practice..

“Hehe, what's going on? It seems like it's too late to play.”

I didn't hear an answer, but there was no need to worry..

‘You must be embarrassed and don't know what to do..’

Now, ‘Hehe, show yourself. After saying, ‘There’s no need for us to fight.’.

All I had to do was give him a good pat and send him out of the room..

‘If you want to surprise me, you'll have to bring Charon.?’

It was time to think so.

A voice came out of the darkness..

“……bouncer.”

A voice heard from the air.

[Thanks to the power of [Mental Defense], it wasn't noticeable, but my whole body felt strong without me even realizing it..

Because it was a voice I knew well..

It was also a voice I could never forget after the ant cave..

Slurp-.

The darkness in front of the closet soon transformed into a single shape..

In the form of a person standing on two feet.

“You have quite a bit of bravado..”

Bad Ending Maker Charon.

he appeared before me.

“…….”

Charon said nothing..

‘You must have been surprised.’

Charon's stealth level is master level..

It's not something a fifteen-year-old student would notice..

The irony is that I am also surprised..

‘why are you here?’

If I had known sooner, I would have greeted you with grandeur..

Then there wouldn't have been such an awkward situation..

The situation would have ended with everyone laughing haha, hoho..

Why is it so twisted?.

“……bouncer.”

There was anger in Charon’s voice..

It was worth it.

‘Hehe, what's going on? 'It seems like it's too late to have fun.'.

If I were Charon, I would have drilled a hole in his head..

‘Well, it looks like we've already sorted things out..’

then.

This is my number 18, a deadly and shameless plan..

“Hehe, Teacher Caron, what is going on here??”

“I came to see you.”

my heart was pounding.

Let's not be mistaken. That's not a love confession.

It's a murder confession.

“Hehe, today's show was fun.”

“……Shut up.”

Charon clicked his tongue as if he was annoyed..

The act of desperately trying to kiss each other while giving an award certificate.

It looks like he got annoyed when I dismissed it as a show..

“Hehe, but why did you give me the certificate? Didn't you tell me to refrain from doing anything that stands out??”

“……It's an adult's situation..”

Dwenor's affection for me.

And I know very well that he received the award because of his stubbornness..

But you have to ask.

‘Because Charon might think it’s strange..’

Promised to refrain from any noticeable behavior.

But I don't question the award.?

Charon will immediately become suspicious..

Did I play a role or do I know Dwenor?.

‘or both.’

So it's right to ask this question.

‘The question ‘Why did you give me a certificate after telling me to stay hidden?’ means that it is an essential question to avoid suspicion..

And one more thing.

‘I have to hide my relationship with Dwenor..’

I hate to admit it, but Charon's skills in exploiting people's psychology are much better than mine..

If a Dwenor found out that he was weak to me, there was a high chance that he would try to take advantage of me..

‘It's not just that.’

As far as I know, Dwenor is a scarecrow set up by the Herizes family to tie up Elester..

And Charon is the emperor's shadow..

If Eleister learns that Dwenor is nothing more than a scarecrow, he will leave the Academy..

‘It will be very different from the future I know..’

Therefore, the fact that Dwenor is a hot guy must be hidden as much as possible..

I had a slight headache..

How many times did you think about just one move?.

The unexpected meeting with Charon was not good in many ways..

“Tsk, giving a certificate to a guy like you. My hands almost rotted..”

“Hehe, I have to cut out the rotten parts..”

“Didn’t I say it was obvious? bouncer.”

What kind of answer should I give to not be arrogant??

“Hehe, you're talking too much to your junior..”

“……I probably told you not to use that word?”

“Didn't you ban your senior? This is my first time hearing the word junior..”

Tduduk-.

An unidentifiable sound came from Charon's grasp..

I was just telling the truth, why are you doing that?.

‘Phew, it still gave me time to think..’

I didn't say this for no reason..

From the moment Charon appeared until now.

My head was spinning like crazy..

‘The atmosphere is not as bad as it was in the ant cave..’

I didn't come to kill you..

That you came to me for a reason.

The reason and purpose of Charon’s visit.

It was most important to find out.

“……Information confirmed.”

“Information?”

“okay. Hus was a spy. No, rather than a spy... … I was just an idiot.”

Only then was I able to find out why Charon came..

It was to confirm information and obtain new information..

‘……It's fast.’

Actually, I thought that the being hiding in the room could be Charon..

About 1 second? But he was immediately ruled out as a suspect..

Why??

‘Because the information was provided yesterday.’

I didn't think Charon could verify the information in just one day..

It was natural.

This is because the process of verifying information is more complicated than expected..

Check the credibility of the information provided.

Suspect identification.

Suspect's strange behavior detected.

Detained after suppression.

hearing.

List, confirm, and summarize information provided by the suspect..

Cross-verification of information from suspects and informants.

Until the final confirmation process.

‘This is just for one day... … No, it was finished before even a day had passed.?’

The speed is so crazy that it makes you stick your tongue out..

A being named Charon who kept us from letting down our guard until the final chapter..

I felt it in the game as well, but Charon's skills seemed to be beyond imagination..

I revised my evaluation of Charon in my head..

So capable. To the point where I don’t want to do business again from now on..

“They were stealing information and shredding it at the same time. Thanks to you. If it had been a little late, more information would have been lost..”

How did you confirm that Hus was a spy??

I decided not to ask such a stupid question..

The Empire's rat, the one who manages the Empire's intelligence department..

It was obvious even without looking how Hus opened his mouth..

“First of all, the price of the transaction comes first..”

I was referring to the compensation I received for providing the information that Hus was a spy..

“Hehe, that was a service..”

“Because my belief is that transactions must be clear. Don't hesitate to speak up. I will provide you with information corresponding to this matter..”

Charon is uncharacteristically generous..

“say it What information do you want to know?”

I decided not to refuse it if they offered it to me..

We're not colleagues, we're in a business relationship.

‘There is currently no information needed..’

But there was one thing that could replace information.
