22. Suspension (2)
‘It’s an item drawing ticket… … .’
Fortunately, the lottery ticket has good memories.
Right now, my main skill, the School Academic Award, is also a good thing I got from the lottery ticket.
No reason to hesitate.
used right away
Actually, I don’t expect much.
You shouldn’t have high hopes for this game. I emptied my mind and used the lottery ticket.
Yes, that large carousel filled the notification window.
‘uh?’
But something is unusual.
The spinning wheel flashes in gold and silver.
Instead, I couldn’t see the colorfully shining square that was the jackpot, but it was dazzling with gold and silver.
‘For what reason?’
All around it is golden, and sometimes there is a flash of silver.
You can see about one square of poop, but it’s a level you don’t need to worry about.
‘uh? Are you going to King God Hyejagem?’
Full of excitement, I played roulette.
That’s right-!
Roulette spins with a heavy sound. My happiness circuit also returns to its maximum.
that, that, that… … .
The speed of the roulette is gradually losing its speed.
No matter where he stops, he is ready to accept it with a smile.
‘Uh, uh… … .’
Now is the time to slow down.
do you want to stop now?
Then it’s a golden box.
passed
So do you want to stop now? It’s still golden though.
passed
I will stop now. It’s a silver box, but it’s ok.
… … passed
In that way, the rotating plate completely ignores the laws of physics and passes through all the gold and silver squares… … .
‘Oh shit.’
Headed to the shit-colored compartment.
In the meantime, I was convinced that the instinct that had been tormented by the system of this game would stop there.
drip-
‘uh?’
But, perhaps he had a conscience, he moved one more narrowly and stopped at the silver square.
‘phew… … .’
A sense of relief comes
If this really came out as shit, I’d send a truck at any cost, really.
[You have acquired the consumption item, ‘SB-IV’]
▶SB-IV
Disposable items.
Boosts the power of the skill. The power doubled depends on the number of Roman characters.
It is stored between teeth and can be bitten when used.
[‘SB-?’ has been registered in the store. You can now purchase the item in the shop.]
‘… … Good?’
To be honest, it exceeded my expectations.
According to the description, it is said that it boosts 4 times its original power since it has Ⅳ, which means 4 in Roman letters. If you use this item on the skill copied from the school certificate… …
In a moment of crisis, it seemed to be a means of saving my lifeline.
‘Didn’t you say you can buy it in the store now?’
Just in case you don’t know, I’ll have to pick up a few more. This gold shop also has a repurchase cooldown, so it is better to buy it in advance.
Enter the Gold Shop and find items that start with ‘SB’.

Well. I think I saw something.
Is it because it went by too quickly? everything seems to be in vain chuckle
Once again, I checked it slowly and step by step.

Grasco Academy President Heinz
* * *
The interior of Grasco was cluttered for a while.
All lectures were suspended, and a committee was formed to investigate a series of incidents in which demons appeared.
“Professor Lucas, did you know this was going to happen before the practice started?”
“I never knew.”
“Then, how are you going to explain the demons appearing in your lecture?”
… … This absurd hearing begins for that very reason.
Read at NovelNext.com
Members of the committee, who have been throwing out such ridiculous questions, will also know that the hearing itself is absurd.
However, in a situation where a single small clue cannot be found, doing this is the only way to calm the public’s interest, so there is no help.
“I heard that it was the students attending your lectures who made <ARF>, the system of <Kylon Pavilion>.”
“That’s right.”
“Did you know that in advance?”
Well, this is a bit of a sharp question.
In fact, the fact that Aylon developed all the core technologies of Dust Industry is not a known fact.
Answering the truth here gets a little complicated.
“I was just guessing it might have something to do with it.”
I just skimmed it like this.
A lot of questions came and went after that, but it wasn’t very productive.
In the first place, they wouldn’t be able to reveal the background from which Levi was summoned.
‘We have to find the real mastermind.’
not lit Levi’s nuance was something like ‘Lit is just a tail’. In other words, there is an upper line of Ritt.
There was only one ‘Demon Hidden in Grasco’ that I described. The rest were the kind of humans who sold their souls to demons like pets.
However, there is something hidden that I did not describe.
I can’t even collaborate with them.
This is because there is literally no way to know who is a demon. They could be mixed amongst the members, and in the worst case, they could all be demons.
‘I need to meet Lit.’
Lit not seen since practice.
Find him and you can get a clue.
Originally, I would not have even thought of this because my life was precious, but not now.
Thanks to the sharp increase in favorability, there is no need to feel threatened with life.
“… … If so, let’s make today’s hearing end here. It’s good to go back, Professor Lucas.”
As soon as the hearing was over, he hurriedly got up.
You already know where Ritt is.
* * *
This is where all the garbage generated in Grasco is collected.
This place, where a huge fire burns its tongue, burns garbage, creates a pungent smoke, and stinks, is not a ban in Grasco, but a ban.
In this sparsely populated place, a man haunted.
‘Lucas, he’ll kill me if he finds me.’
The moment when Lucas killed Levi was thrilling.
It felt like the old congestion had gone down, and the old resentment had been washed away and my soul had been purified.
But what happens after that is a problem.
Lucas knows who he is.
In such a situation, the demon, Levi, appeared.
It’s clear who’s going to be suspicious.
Ritt hid himself.
I wondered if Lucas had escaped from there safely after that, but his survival instinct suppressed those worries and hid himself.
This is a place where no one comes. So it is suitable to hide.
Also, the landscape is very similar to the place where he was born and raised.
feel at ease
‘brother… … .’
Watching the roaring flames, I uncovered the memories I had buried in one side of my heart.
His older brother who lost his life because of Levi’s betrayal.
He, who was practically like his father, was killed by that Levi’s scheme.
Little Rit, who had no choice but to hide and watch the scene, was only able to face the memory fully today.
“It’s over, brother. I wanted revenge, Cook… … Still, what could be more savory than being stabbed to death by one’s own bones? Do you think so too?”
But, of course, the answer that comes back is-
* * *
“Hmm.”
I know where Ritt is.
the problem is… … .
‘Why is it a garbage dump?’
-Where all the garbage in Grasco gathers. There is a hiding place for the demons, Ritts.
For one sentence like this, I have to set foot in this stinky, hot place.
Curse, the me of the past.
It was clear that Ritt was there, but his footsteps did not fall. Since then, the stomach has been very weak.
Already, the sour smell tickles my nose, to the point of making me nauseous.
But you have to go.
You have to find Ritt, who is hiding there, and ask for the top line.
So, I live.
I know… … .
I know… … .
Uneasy.
The moment when I would rather turn away.
[A new notification has arrived.]

[Ricky9239 sponsored 500G.]
Yep, it’s not disgusting at all. There is no separate Fex series.
Thanks to the huge wave of support, the conflict was completely gone.
Enjoying the fragrant smell, we went deep into the garbage dump in search of Lit.
‘Now it’s time to see… … .’
Slowly, the medicine teeth fell off and the stench started to stink again.
What kind of garbage dump is so spacious?
I hurriedly followed the trail of Lit.
“It’s over, brother.”
someone’s voice is heard
Ritt is the only one crazy enough to talk like that alone in this kind of environment.
I hurriedly moved on.
“… … I wanted revenge, Cook… … Still, what could be more savory than being stabbed to death by one’s own bones? Do you think so too?”
It seems like there is some kind of story behind it.
I didn’t even write anything like that.
There’s no time for doubts.
You must hurry.
“… … I must have taken my chance for revenge.”
“School, Professor… … .”
At the sound of my voice, Lit opened her rabbit eyes and looked at me.
“I think we have something to say.”
Let’s go out and talk
There was something wrong with Ritt’s lines, but now this stench has reached the point of penetrating into his brain. Let’s think about that later and leave.
“Follow me.”
