chapter 32
“How did you know?”
“How would you know?”
John did not explain. I just checked his status window without saying anything.
[Name: Mubartrigger Frodo]
[Class Rating: Sub Character]
[Strength: 3, Agility 3, Sense 3, Health 4]
The class rank means the weight that the character occupies in the scenario. Sub-characters are highly likely to be characters involved in incidental events.
And this character had an additional explanation attached.
[User Guide]
[This character is a character who has a strong repulsion towards Jackal. In the indifference of the surroundings, his power of action grows.]
thought John.
‘It’s a character that should be moderately ignored.’
Mubar Trigger Prodo.
Like the sorceress he saw in the auditorium, it was a character he didn’t remember. I was still unfamiliar with the [User Guide] item. Mubartrigger, who just saw Yohan’s expressionless expression, sighed and said,
“I bet the honor. I don’t intend to fight.”
“Sounds like honor. What kind of honor do you think a guy who lied about his family name has?”
Mubartrigger did not repeat the lies that had already been exposed.
“okay… . then he cheated That doesn’t mean I falsified the admission process.”
“You don’t have to make excuses to me. It’s just a word I said out of honor. It must have its own circumstances.”
“okay. There are circumstances… .”
“ah. until there. I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.”
John waved his hand. I had no intention of listening to the detailed story of a person who was not even the main character. However, Mubartrigger’s expression looked serious.
“I really want you to listen.”
There was desperation in those eyes. John let out a small sigh.
“If you have something to say, keep it short.”
“I am the bastard of the Frodo family.”
I guessed. If it’s a situation where you can’t name the family name properly, it’s probably for that reason. However, John did not know why he had to tell him that.
“… What does that have to do with me?”
“So I know a lot about jackals.”
Mubartrigger carefully raised himself.
John withdrew slightly, but did not stop it.
“I want you to be the principal.”
There is a faint feeling of uneasiness. In the original scenario, there is only one person who can push Yohan to become the grade president.
This is Hermes.
And in this case, you will either take the route of falling in love with Ida, or you will take the route of breaking up with Ida and your relationship with Evangeles.
But now, a child who is neither this nor the other is urging him to run for the school year president.
It felt like there were more and more exceptions in the scenario.
John asked bluntly.
“why?”
“You are a character with a lot of buzz. It’s not that the jackal tried to enslave you for nothing.”
John shook his head slightly and said.
“I didn’t ask about my chances of becoming the grade president. What are the benefits to you if I become the school principal?”
Mubartrigger lowered his voice.
“I just need to make sure the jackal doesn’t become the dean.”
“Why is that?”
“A jackal is someone who gets what he wants by any means necessary. When he becomes the head of the school year, he will take over the teachers and students at will… . And wouldn’t it be nice for you to be the school principal too?”
“What do you like?”
When Yohan made a calm expression, Mubartrigger frowned.
“Are you deliberately pretending to be a distribution?”
“no.”
“Hmm… , don’t you know… .”
Mubartrigger tilted his head.
“The family that became the school principal is given priority in negotiating in the academy’s delivery business. Also, the money given to the teachers by the family of the school year is not a bribe, but packaged as support money… . Did you really not know?”
When John didn’t respond, Mubartrigger spoke in a still low voice.
“It’s not for nothing that the academy head of the academy gets into a fight with the academy president. There is immunity for trivial violations of school rules, and rather, you have the right to form a leadership team and punish ordinary students. When Jackal becomes the school principal, it’s very obvious what kind of kids he’ll gather and what he’ll do. Then I will have to do this damn thing again.”
A faint revulsion showed on John’s face.
Of course, we have to stop the jackal from becoming the school principal. And as Mubartrigger said, there is also a way to become the school principal himself. However, in that case, too much personal time is devoted to school principal duties.
On the other hand, if you push her to the grade level while you have a good feeling with Adrine, you can catch the three rabbits at the same time: check the jackal, the benefits enjoyed by the grade level, and Adrine’s growth.
Clearly the latter is an advantage.
As John’s silence lengthened, Mubartrigger added again.
“Isn’t the jackal the head of the school year? Then all the businesses in the school will be subordinated to the Frodo family funds and all the teachers in the school will be subsumed. It takes less than a month to get there, so I’ll bet my chin that was hit by you.”
“… … .”
“John, did you tell me? Is it a jackal’s tail? I won’t deny it. But what do you do? If you go against him, you will be ostracized and punished.”
Mubartrigger thought that Yohan was worried. But in fact, Yohan was thinking about the lines of the scenario he had written.
“What do you think about being an adult?”
“… What?”
“There may be many things… Wouldn’t it be that at least he could handle his own business?”
Mubartrigger pondered for a moment the meaning of John’s words. Then he gritted his teeth. The student who defeated Bastia, Johan Espertz.
It didn’t take long for expectations to turn into embarrassment, and embarrassment to disappointment.
Mubartrigger said with a grim face.
“but. Do you know what it means to be born a bastard? Every day… .”
“Ahh. I hear you.”
Johan entered the dormitory building, leaving Mubartrigger behind. I decided to follow the [User Guide]. You don’t have to listen to a new wave drama where you can’t call your father “father” and you can’t call your mother “mother.”
***
Another person was in front of my room. It was a soldier carrying a red bag on his side. Standing with a somewhat annoyed face, he looked at my face for a moment and said.
“Room 1025. Johann Esperts, right?”
“yes.”
“It came in front of you. I’m angry… . receive.”
It was fluke.
He pulled out a pocket with three colorful letters.
“It is a reward for the past march. Check the amount and sign here.”
“… It’s more than you think.”
“I heard that they take care of me more because I came late. If I had known it would be like this, I would have deviated from the marching route.”
I roughly checked the gold coins in my pocket and signed. After sending the flue bottle, I entered the room and checked the time.
5:52.
There are still 6 hours left until roll call.
A good time to get involved in an event.
All the stationery that Yeontongbyeong gave me was from girls. At this point, the love letters Johann Esperts receives are an indicator of the protagonist’s popularity, and Chapter 3 is at its peak. The absence of Sabaki, who would have monopolized the popularity of the original female students, and my prominence, which I had to reveal to make up for it, must have had an impact.
I lightly ignored the words of the brave female students to meet at a specific place after the roll call saying that they were interested. Because all romances in this game have bad endings.
I tossed the stationery randomly into the trash can and sat down in front of my desk.
‘The important thing now is this side.’
He took out the cards he had hidden in his sleeves. It was the card the sorceress was holding. There were no marking patterns attached to the edges, and no thin pictures were added. Even if I had prepared such a trick, it would have been unreasonable to use it in a situation where I was choosing a card myself.
‘Then when did you change it again?’
Conceptually, it was impossible.
I am definitely a snake that rises above the ground and a blindfolded person.
And he hid the card with the Yeonji tree on it. However, the card I brought and took out had a completely different picture.
I remembered the words of a wizard named Pirallo who gave me an aptitude test.
‘If there is a kite, we will meet again.’
Relationships in this game are made, not waited for.
That’s why I came with her card hidden in my sleeve.
The system log of the woman pretending to be a fortune teller in the auditorium is as follows.
[Name: Piralo]
[Character Rating: Sub Character]
[Strength: 2, Agility 4, Sense 4, Health 4]
[Special skill]
[Arrangement of Destiny: Arrange your cards according to the character’s fate.]
[Card Manipulation: Transform and manipulate your cards according to your will.]
[User Guide]
[Pirallo is a disciple of Archmage ‘Ong’ and the only friend of the academy wizard ‘Kirov’. As a magician who can inherit food, you can become her disciple if certain conditions are met.]
Of course I know the meaning of the words mentioned in the [User Guide]. It’s because it’s put in the configuration document.
Eating succession law.
Although it is a sub-character, it means that she is a character who can pass on her magical talents.
In the world view of ‘The Savior from Another World’, magic is not an ability that can be used just because it is learned. It is an ability that can only be obtained if the luck of nature, which is called magical talent.
‘But is it made of events?’
It’s not a character I remember, so I can’t guess anything other than what’s written in the [User Guide]. If it is related to her, what kind of event will it lead to?
I didn’t have to think long.
There was a bang and a knock on the door.
“who are you?”
“Johann Esperts, right? Open the door!”
It was a familiar voice.
‘The thing to come has come.’
When I opened the door, Pirallo yelled at me without hesitation.
“Have you seen it?”
“What?”
“Hey, you kid who will be slapped on the cheek by Ong! Be honest. Have you seen the card you stole?”
I answered politely at first.
“Sorry, stop because the picture is too pretty.”
“Ah, this kid is just!”
The cane fell on my head with a bang. It was a great swing that brought tears to my eyes.
Piralo raised his voice and said.
“The meaning of a card opened in a place where I can’t see it changes!”
“Does the meaning change?”
She almost snatched the card I held out and took it.
“It becomes an unavoidable fate!”
“yes?”
“If you draw death or calamity, it actually happens to you!”
Ugh, was there such a thing?
Pirallo said, still building blood.
“you! In what order did you pick these?”
I said, recalling the order in which I took out the cards.
“River water. thread. The order of the flowers.”
“This, this, this, in that order?”
“yes.”
After checking the card with his own eyes, Piralo sighed heavily. Then he hit my crown again.
“Ah. It really hurts.”
“I was beaten because it hurt. Because of you, all the kids tested after you got the wrong results!”
“ah… , I didn’t know that. I’m really sorry.”
“Why the hell did you steal my card?”
I looked at Pirallo and said.
“I want to see the wizard again.”
“why? Do you like older people, you precocious kid?”
“no. I wanted to ask you something about my reincarnation.”
“Rebirth… ? Oh, I’m going crazy, really!”
The sorceress tousled her hair and said.
“Reincarnation itself doesn’t mean much anyway. If you are born again, all memories of your previous life will disappear.”
Piralo turned and walked out of the room. And I quickly approached her and took her hand. Looking down at his held hands, Piralo spoke in an icy voice.
“Will you regret it if you don’t get rid of this hand now?”
“Wizard.”
I said softly.
“I have memories of my previous life.”
