Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death

The entrance door to the C building dormitory had been smashed. The officer on duty, who had been sleeping well in the duty officer’s office, was punished, and the entire dormitory was in the midst of a group spirit.

“These conscienceless bastards. Doesn’t it come out? Is this whole being punished for just a few guys?”

Suppressed curses flowed among the children who had been lying on their stomachs since dawn.

“Fuck seriously, who broke down a door that was in good shape?”

“Come out now, really… .”

John didn’t even feel guilty.

He only accepted the children’s complaints as scripts for scenario lines. Evangeles kept his teeth clenched and said to John, who was standing right next to him.

“Our first test is a swordsmanship test… I’m shaking… .”

John said nothing. If they knew that Yohan, who could be said to be the one who caused the problem, had no stress at all because he used [Auto Skip], everyone would be frothing.

It lasted for two hours trying to cool off. Due to the ‘Mulcan Statue Incident’ not too long ago, the academy was in a state of serious about vandalism. It wasn’t until 10 minutes before the test started that the punishment was over, and Evangeles continued to stretch down and shake Yohan up.

“It’s over… . Were you asleep?”

“Oh yeah? I didn’t hear you.”

“I’ve said it several times… .”

John stretched out greatly. On the contrary, he had completely forgotten his fatigue. It was the effect of [Auto Skip]. Evangeles was a little puzzled by the calm-looking John.

“If you think you’ve passed on this, you’re mistaken! Students who are related to this or have witnessed it must report it.”

“… Why are you only fucking with us? Others may have done it.”

Yohan walked towards the small infantry sergeant without saying a word.

Evangeles also grumbled and followed John. It rained intermittently throughout the night, and among the grass planted by the roadside, water-drenched flower buds were opening their mouths.

“It really feels like spring because the flowers are blooming.”

“Mud there.”

“Ah, thank you… . But why didn’t you come to the party yesterday?”

“just. I have no intention of dancing.”

Evangeles took John’s words differently. Ida wants you to meet another man.

This childhood friend, who couldn’t think of his friend’s younger sister as a woman, tried to keep her away.

for Ida.

I was sorry, but there was nothing I couldn’t understand. Evangeles chewed his lips a few times before speaking.

“okay… . It’s not like people’s minds don’t go their way. I understand, John.”

“Well? human heart? What are you talking about.”

“It’s okay, man. Because I understand… uh? But what is it?”

On the way to the Soyeonbyeongjang, there was a stall that I hadn’t seen before.

Evangeles reached out for the stall. On top of the newsstand, there were several newspapers with a sign saying ‘Academy Newspaper first issue’.

“Academy Newspaper? did you have something like this You don’t seem to be getting any money.”

“It’s a founding issue.”

“… what is that?”

“It means the first newspaper published.”

Yohan also pulled out a copy of the newspaper and skimmed through the titles. The Academy’s newspaper department. According to the setting, the wealth was created on the day Johann Esperts entered the hospital. And the newspapers they publish at regular intervals are a kind of window for users to deliver information about routes they haven’t taken.

There were 5 articles in total.

‘A case of damage to Mulcan’s statue in the labyrinth.’

‘The mysterious godfather who appeared at the auction house.’

‘A place for socializing at the academy in full bloom.’

‘The birth of a new wizard!’

‘The Frodo family promises comfort for weary students.’

The first four articles were quite predictable.

‘Mulcan’s statue in the labyrinth is damaged’ is an article that appears when the [Sword of Mulcan] event has been completed in the original scenario. At the end of the article, there will be a word attached asking that anyone who witnessed the damage at the time or has a clue should report it.

‘Mysterious rich man who appeared at the auction house’ is also an article that appears conditionally. An article that appears after clearing the ‘Frantimo Jewelry Collection’.

Perhaps, the interview with Adrine was recorded here.

‘Academy in full bloom’ is an article that pops up at this point without any preconditions. It’s about the party Ida was supposed to throw yesterday. You can notice the likability between the characters through this article, but it wasn’t Johan’s interest right now.

And ‘A new wizard is born!’ is an article that appears when an apprentice wizard is discovered. There should be something written about Bona Mana and Arien.

However, the last article was unfamiliar from the title. You mean the ‘promise of the Frodo family’? John tilted his head. Frodo was the family name of the Jackal, who would become a strong competitor to Adrine in this election. The content of the article was as follows.

[There was a situation where a circus performance before the march was canceled due to an accident not too long ago. As readers know, circus performances are one of the most valuable consolations offered to the soldiers defending this empire. Accordingly, Jackal, the eldest son of the famous Frodo family, lamented that such a performance had been delayed, and informed the Academy that he would give a performance in the name of the family.]

The jackal’s intentions seemed clear. At this point, to perform a circus performance in the name of the family can only be seen as aiming for the votes of the election.

But there was another fact that was even more irritating. The fact that the deviation from the scenario he caused occurs as a more extended exception.

‘It’s a performance. It’s annoying.’

Again, an unexpected story is unfolding. This means that unpredictable developments gradually intervene.

As for Johann, he couldn’t guess whether it was a circus or what kind of popularity the jackal would gain through the performance.

And the moment he arrived at the small training ground, John forgot about the exception the jackal had caused.

“uh? He’s the one I haven’t seen.”

John also looked in the direction Evangeles was looking. There, a short man with a wooden sword stood glaring at Bastia.

It was Sabaki.

The only character who has not been able to show up in swordsmanship class.

Before Yohan could even sort out that complicated feeling, Bastia spoke in a booming voice.

“The late ones. Grab a wooden sword and stand there. The results of the swordsmanship test will be evaluated by watching the duel.”

Johann looked at the bracket standing next to Bastia. It was as if Sabaki’s line had been added in a hurry to the pre-planned tournament bracket.

Yohan had to quickly organize his position while looking at the bracket.

According to what he planned the event for, this swordsmanship class will have a slightly different meaning depending on the purpose of the [Grade Principal Election].

All cases can be divided into three major categories. Depending on the attitude of the main character, Johann Esperts, to the election.

First, if you want to become a school principal yourself.

The second case is to make Adrine the grade president.

Finally, if you remove your hand altogether.

The last case is irrelevant, and since the first case is not taken into account, it can be set aside.

For the second time John wants to progress, there are better progressions than getting first place in swordsmanship class. It is to thoroughly destroy the jackal. Conversely, in the worst case, a jackal defeats an opponent he could not defeat.

Johan climbed up his tournament line, assuming victory. It was either Evangeles or the Jackal to meet in the finals. Aside from winning or losing, the development of these two characters is fully predictable.

But the problem is the person he meets right before that. On the line of his own tournament, a character whose power is difficult to guess at present intervened.

The scammer in the original scenario, Sabaki.

It wasn’t easy to guess just by looking at the system logs.

‘How much has that guy recovered?’

As the children brought their wooden swords one by one, Evangeles dragged Johan’s arm.

“John. Let us also bring a wooden sword.”

“… okay.”

Walking in the direction of the wooden sword barrel, John struggled to accept the situation. And I tried to recall the original development of ‘Savior from another world’.

Without question, the best move is to just get first place here. And in the original development, there is only one case where Yohan can get first place in this swordsmanship class.

The case where Sabaki voluntarily does not participate in the test.

At the same time, this is also the case where Sabaki and Adrin are dating. However, as long as Adrine had already become interested in him, it was an impossible case.

If Sabaki had been completely resurrected, it would be meaningless to worry about this matchup itself. It was impossible for any character other than Yohan to defeat the intact Sabaki.

But variables have arisen.

Because his recovery is incomplete.

The worst case is when Sabaki defeats himself and loses to the Jackal. This means that Jackal will be ranked first in the swordsmanship class, and he will almost monopolize the votes of the male students.

In the original scenario, this would hardly have happened, but it happened anyway. Upon understanding this, John’s thoughts became clear.

‘It’s unsettling just to suppress variables.’

The most certain move is to defeat both Sabaki and Jackal.

Yohan decided to use the variable given to him.

First, Evangeles picked up the wooden sword, and then Yohan put his hand into the wooden sword case. However, Johann did not choose the wooden sword that Bastia had prepared.

‘Inventory.’

After putting his hand into the wooden sword barrel, Johann picked up the [Arms of Justice] that he had put in his inventory. That mythical weapon is an item that can become any weapon that existed at the time, and a wooden sword is a weapon with a deeper history than an iron sword.

Of course, there were wooden swords at the time as well.

Inside the wooden sword barrel, the shape of the [Arms of Justice] changed. Before long, John stood among the children in line, holding the legendary weapon that had become a wooden sword.

No one noticed that his wooden sword was different. Only Bastia looked at the two remaining wooden swords and said, ‘Huh? Didn’t you bring it according to the number of people?’ I just said.

And the woman who made eye contact with him for the third time said as if making excuses.

“… I’m not here to meddle in your class.”

“Oops. You are welcome to intervene, Ms. Yuli.”

Yuli pursed her lips several times before speaking.

“The student named Sabaki standing over there is not fully healed yet. Aren’t you worried about him?”

“What do you mean? Don’t you want to take the test yourself?”

“Bastia, I am also the student you captured. If it were me, I would be sorry.”

“Originally, boys grow up getting along with each other.”

Yuli sighed and then spoke.

“I’ll take you if you feel like overdoing it.”

“Please. Me, by the way, Ms. Yuli.”

“I refuse.”

“I haven’t told you yet.”

“Aren’t you trying to be cool?”

“Well. Shouldn’t it be too?”

Bastia gave up too quickly.

He cleared his throat and stood in front of the children. In a rather tense atmosphere, several children complained.

“It’s raining and my feet are slippery.”

“The conditions are the same anyway.”

“Your clothes get dirty.”

“It’s gym clothes. Go back and suck it.”

“The kids in Building C came here for fun. It’s not fair.”

“whatever. Did I do it?”

The weather had cleared, but the wet sand was still muddy underfoot. And Bastia continued to indulge herself.

“The bracket is as written here. I will start the swordsmanship test from now on. Try to entertain me from now on.”

The last words were words that came out of Bastia’s inner thoughts.
