Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death

chapter 40



Outside the library window, it was raining heavily. Literally, it was spring rain.

I asked, pretending not to know what the system logs revealed.

“Who hit you?”

“Who is it?”

“What about you?”

“Do you mind?”

“I came with a face like that, but I don’t care. I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t seen it.”

“I am in tears… . When I asked for help, I was shocked.”

I persistently persuaded the guy who was about to leave the library to sit down. Mubartrigger said, ‘I came here thinking no one was there.’ he grumbled briefly. Then he lowered his head and opened his mouth.

“I was taking a nap when it came in out of nowhere.”

“To your dorm room? Did you see the face?”

“If you see it, what will you do?”

I said, recalling the emotions of my school days.

“What the heck, ma’am. You should tell the teacher.”

“Ahh. My maid and I are the only witnesses. I will trust you.”

“Don’t be sarcastic, kid.”

“Why didn’t you believe me back then?”

Of course, you can’t answer with ‘I thought it would be an annoying event’.

“I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

“done. Stop worrying and do what you do. Because it’s embarrassing.”

It seemed like a deep-rooted emotion. My acting with the aptitude for [cheating] made it seem like he was really worried about himself, but he didn’t soften his heart.

A sigh comes out.

It was difficult to read the expression on Mubartrigger’s swollen face. The figure of him sitting with his back hunched and his fists clenched was refusing to speak.

‘Isn’t it something that can be prevented through conversation?’

It was already past 11:30 at night, but the phrase written in the [User Guide] remained the same. No matter how persuasive he was, the figure of ‘killing success rate is 50%’ did not change.

The method of killing the jackal is obvious. Among the current academy students, Evangeles was the only one who could face the Jackal in a head-to-head match.

In the setting of a savior from another world, yes.

The Jackal knew this Mubartrigger’s hatred from the beginning. However, in the original work, there is no flow of lynching or attempting to kill.

Again, I tried to reason about the reason for the event that did not exist.

It was an easy guess.

Instead of Sabaki, I got the attention of the children at the [Bastia’s Shining Ceremony]. The Jackal, who judged me as a competitor, tried to gain more popularity through a jewel auction, but even that was blocked by Adrienne.

It is not unreasonable for jackals to bite crab foam.

By the time it was getting dark, Mubartrigger, who looked out the library window at the clock tower, got up quietly and left the library. This time I didn’t stop him either. Anyway, roll call time was approaching. And I, too, was in a situation where I had to solve the problem in front of me first.

The smell of death was conveying the clear intention of the dragon disease.

‘Come within an hour.’

Like the spring rain, the raindrops were not very thick. Through the wet raindrops, I walked without a word.

It is a 20-minute walk from the library to the dormitory.

When I arrived at my dorm room, I changed my damp clothes and looked at the desk. There was a letter along with 13 jewels.

[The payment for the jewelry has been completed, but you have not paid me the price. This will be collected by tomorrow. Be warned that interest will accrue if not collected. -Adrine-]

I smile bitterly at the luxurious handwriting. Since he is threatening to charge interest for questions rather than money, I might have to call him a private seller.

Anyway, she kept her promise. The desk topped with colorful jewels was so dazzling that it made me dizzy.

I tore up Adrine’s letter and sat down on the desk chair. Then, he took out the [Sword of Mulcan] that he had put in his inventory.

It was obvious what I had to do.

I picked up the jewel and brought it to [Mulcan’s Sword].

[The amount of curses applied to Mulcan’s sword has been changed.]

[897/1,000] => [795/1,000]

[The amount of curses applied to Mulcan’s sword has been changed.]

[795/1,000] => [639/1,000]

In fact, numbers are meaningless now.

Because I was sure of the completion of Haeju anyway.

[Frantimo’s Jewelry Collection].

The total amount that can be unlocked with the jewels that go up in the auction is fixed. With a 900 that just fell right.

In the first place, I confirmed that I had entered the 800th level with the jewels I acquired in [First March], so there is nothing to worry about.

[The amount of curses applied to Mulcan’s sword has been changed.]

[639/1,000] => [616/1,000]

[The amount of curses applied to Mulcan’s sword has been changed.]

[616/1,000] => [572/1,000]

The jewels that can buy a tolerable house are disappearing in front of my eyes.

The more jewels were fed, the more Hae-ryang fell. Then, finally, when there was only one jewel left, the number [66/1,000] was displayed.

Now there is only one left.

I looked at the last remaining jewel. This gem, which spreads a blazing red color, actually has a name that matches its color.

Reflected light, as if someone were playing a joke with the red light.

The reason why this jewel can be sold and sold at the auction house is because no one knows about the reality of this jewel.

Of course I will be an exception.

Information about the jewel appeared before my eyes.

[Dokkaebi Fire (Jewel)]

[Rating: Legend]

[This jewel functions as an ‘enchantment’ when combined with a weapon in any form.]

[Enchant Content: Dokkaebi Illusion]

Illusion is, literally, a technique that makes you see an illusion. Needless to say, this tactic goes well with my characteristic, [Cheating].

“Now, roll call starts from the first floor! Students in each room change into bedtime clothes and wait for the roll call.”

The roll call comes up from the first floor, so it takes some time to reach it.

I brought [Goblin’s Fire] to [Mulcan’s Sword].

Then the expected system log followed.

[The curse of typification applied to ‘Mulcan’s Sword’ is lifted.]

[The additional event of ‘Sword of Mulcan’, ‘Equipment of Justice’ has been cleared.]

[Reward Item: Secret Point]

[Reward: 3 points]

Satisfies. Following [Frantimo’s Jewelry Collection], big event rewards are being gathered.

The enchanted jewel, the fire of the goblin, slowly disappeared, and a white light began to dwell on Mulcan’s sword. It was a light of soft brightness. Before long, the shape of the sword collapsed like well-kneaded clay and began to change its shape.

And the white light disappeared.

After the form is reconstructed, it can no longer be called a ‘sword’.

Literally, the totality of arms.

‘Okay.’

I finally looked at the transformed ‘armor of justice’.

The sword in my hand has become an object that encompasses all the weapons of the time. The two pillars extending from the wide handle, one was the sword body and the other was the spearhead. The sword handle itself is a miniaturized model of a bow rod, and a model of an iron ball of a mace is embedded in its center.

To give a general review, it’s literally a jumbled mess of different things.

I recall the details that I set up. In the era before the empire was even formed, the goblin siblings on Dokkaebi Island made it as a joke.

The explanation was as follows.

[Equipment of Justice (Amorphous Weapon)]

[Rating: Myth]

[The shape is transformed according to the user’s will.]

[The goblin illusion function is enchanted in this armament.]

For a while, I was looking at my armor, which had escaped my brother, when I heard a knocking sound.

Before I could say anything, the door creaked open.

It wasn’t a duty officer.

The woman who came to my door smiled softly and said.

“It feels new.”

“It hasn’t been long since I left here, but I feel a sense… I’m not surprised anyway.”

“Are you surprised? to what… Ahh. That is the sword John used.”

“Can you recognize it at a glance?”

“yes. It’s the same color that reflects the moonlight.”

Even seeing this strangely shaped weapon, she showed no sign of surprise. Certainly, Arien has changed somewhere. She observed the [arms of justice] in my hand for a while and said.

“Did the sword shape change? Having experienced my own oddities, I am not surprised by these experiences.”

“I want to know more about the miracle I experienced. Now, point to the sound of footsteps in this building.”

During roll call, the only person walking in the hallway would be the officer on duty.

The wizard of sound closed his eyes for a moment, then stretched out his finger and pointed to the floor. Then the finger moved slowly.

from right to left.

“Looks like it’s on the third floor. Now I’m stopped again… . Now I can tell him apart by the sound of his heart.”

“great.”

I was sure

The details of the location she tracked through ‘sound’ were as delicate as the life that [smell of death] announced. However, there was an important difference.

Her tracking is ‘linear’.

This is why she was able to point out the location of her steps with her finger. Unlike ‘smell’, ‘sound’ can pass through matter.

On the other hand, the life I feel is connected along the open window. If you close that window, the [smell of death] will also be blocked.

“Perhaps someone who is an enemy of John… Are you an officer on duty?”

“no.”

“… sure?”

Instead of answering, I walked towards the window and looked out the window. The murderous spirit transmitted through the nose informed that the subject of the murderous intent was at the entrance of the eastern wall of Frantimo.

“Arien, listen carefully.”

The moment of decisiveness has come.

“Once the roll call is over, we’ll go into the room right downstairs.”

“… Do you know someone’s room?”

“Similar. From there, you will have to track the location of the footprints as you did now.”

Arien nodded.

I looked at the weapon in my hand. Then he planned more than victory.

Now, in the [Grade President Election] event, the only thing that remains as a sub-event is the [1st year midterm exam].

Of course, education in this world is one of Johan Espertz’s strongest advantages.

If I combine my already secured popularity with Adrine’s topicality created in the [Frantimo Jewelry Collection], I should be able to win the jackal in the election.

And in an election that has already been won, the important thing is not to create bad gossip. For example, ‘The dormitory has become a mess because that guy came in with a mercenary bottle’.

And, I had a way to get rid of those anomalies. A way to defeat that speared battle machine without sound or rumor.

With Arien’s help and this weapon’s ability, it would have been possible.
