I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Episode 8

[Huh, are you going to try it now?]

[There’s nothing I can’t do. Why, are you afraid to be with that commoner?]

[What is it, a bout?]

Although Lockstrin Aindarok has been ostracized from the crowd of freshmen, he has never witnessed the situation unfolding.

It is possible for the main character to jump on the bandwagon without intervening, so this part was progressing on its own.

Summer Turge doesn’t care where you come from.

If you have a talent for magic, pass the entrance exam and pay the tuition, your admission will be decided.

A dispute between nobles and commoners.

It’s an obvious story.

“A practice room?”

Kanin asked.

“There was a fight between the boys. Six people.”

The practice room is one of the spaces where the use of offensive magic is specifically permitted.

Even in class, if you can’t use magic, you can’t learn. It doesn’t matter if you use offensive magic in the practice room.

However, there are conditions.

“Who is the observer?”

“There won’t be.”

“At times like this, I don’t think Wirain is necessarily wrong.”

When students use magic in the practice room, there is a condition that there must be a full professor level observer.

Fighting between students was unacceptable, so it was naturally kept secret from the professors. Late at night so you don’t get caught.

They believed that since one of the two rules was followed, punishment could be avoided to some extent even if caught. They were like immature children.

“The exit to the practice room is blocked by monsters. It was unreasonable at my level.”

“what?”

“Okay, don’t rush.”

Kanin’s face hardened.

Does that mean that enough monsters have appeared that Rockstrin can declare to be a ‘group’?

‘It’s a senior.’

Kanin had encountered only one high-level monster while walking around the outskirts.

At the time, he did not know which tunnel a man of that size had entered, but it was a shame because he encountered it himself.

Advanced monsters are not easy to see, even for professors who have reached 5 stars.

The practice room is to the northwest, close to the center. At least it wasn’t far.

However, the area around the practice room where they arrived was already a messy field.

“what happened… … .”

“Mage, be careful!”

Chew!

Something like a tentacle flew out.

The wind barrier opened by Baeller deflected it in a brief moment. Hana Kanin could not take her eyes off from below.

“This, this is something.”

It was an absurdly large hole.

Can this really be called a tunnel? Rather, it could be said to be the entrance to some kind of hell.

Kanin asked cautiously.

“Rockstrin.”

“Yes.”

“Were there any high-level monsters?”

“there is.”

high-level monsters.

It is a terrifying monster enough to destroy a small city in an instant.

There is no place to step on the randomly dug-out floor, and the famous Summer Turge roadside trees are cut into pieces like sorghum cans.

Lockstrin Aindarlock.

You mean he fought here?

Even then, he barely survived with an injury of that size and called for support.

“You suffered.”

“… … Yes.”

“You have done enough.”

Because monsters have magical powers, when they reach an advanced level, they can’t hide their presence and scatter them around.

I could feel it when I came closer. Two high-level monsters.

“Wait a minute.”

“All right. Be careful.”

Baeller bowed his head and retreated.

Going down the dark stairs, Kanin smelled the faint smell of blood. The practice room, which was built spaciously to accommodate hundreds of people, was quiet.

up up

However, the only sound was the loud clashing of the monster’s teeth. Kanin’s hand holding the staff trembled faintly.

there

There were no children.

* * *

“You’re out of your mind, you.”

“What do you mean?”

“Did you fight against your superiors? And that’s just how it ended?”

“haha.”

Let’s put it like that for now.

It seemed that I had committed the trail in front of the practice room, but the truth is like this.

[Wait, what are you talking about outside?]

[Uh, hey. I don’t think now is the time for us to fight, right?]

[It’s a monster!]

Just before the fight begins, an unexpected roar is heard nearby. When I came out, the outside was already a messy field.

The story is that the children are forced to join forces regardless of their social status to face the huge threat of high-ranking monsters together.

So, the traces of magic around here were not made by me, but by other children.

Of course, the new students had to buy time by attracting monsters into the practice room, so the player who was a spectator had to call a helper.

And why we had to match the time.

“professor!”

Not long after, Kanin appeared.

Surprised by the sight covered in dark red blood, Baeller shouted.

“Never mind. It’s not my blood.”

“All right, I’m glad. First of all, I’m fast, so call the ambulance… … .”

“No need.”

Kanin’s voice was chillingly cold.

He has a habit of forcing himself to cool down when he is restless. Perhaps because of the aftermath of the battle, his steps seemed precarious.

But above all, something that Baeller felt was strange.

why no one

won’t you come along?

“There were no students inside.”

“Yes? Hey. Aindarroch. I’m sure there are students inside… … ?”

“I said there was.”

“What, what are you talking about?”

I didn’t have enough time to answer them one by one. Even though I knew it would be like this, my heart beats like it would explode after facing the results.

“Rockstrin.”

cooong!

Kanin’s feet rolled on the ground.

A pile of dirt with a radius of 20 m all gushed out and filled the hole. It was a magic manipulation worthy of the great mage’s prestige.

“Go back and make sure.”

“What do you mean?”

It’s obvious what will come out of that mouth. Even so, her voice and her outstretched hand trembled.

Kanin opened his left hand. I carefully accepted it with both hands.

Aldin, Cromwell, Zigsen… … .

It is a name tag with a name that is all too familiar. These are the names I personally searched for on foreign websites.

six pieces. Since they are the same freshmen, they run into each other every class.

Even from a distance, seeing them chatting with each other made me laugh for no reason.

Thinking that I wouldn’t be able to see her in a few days at most, it might have been a pity or a sense of guilt.

“… … There were no students left alive.”

The voice buzzed with dizziness.

From the first episode, these six children die.

It is so decided.

If I had brought Kanin in 10 minutes earlier, of course I could have saved the children.

I was able to stop them early in front of the Freedom Tower.

The fight itself could have been stopped long before that.

-I didn’t do that.

Because it changes the future.

Because I don’t know what the consequences of the six surviving students will be.

“Be mindful.”

no one can blame me

“You have done your job.”

What’s the deal with the death of a few supporting actors who don’t have any importance?

I played the game a few times and it didn’t matter. Ingredients for creating a gloomy atmosphere.

It was meant to be consumed like that, and it went as planned.

“None of the students can deal with two high-ranking monsters.”

“Is that so.”

“Go back to the tower and rest. I’ve woken up all the professors, so things will be over before long. I will definitely pass on your contribution… … .”

dizzy.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been up all night often for the past few days. Or was he so fucking selfish that he stopped even thinking about it?

In case I forgot, I held onto the name tag in my hand.

“Baeller, Rocktrin to the Tower of Truth—”

pop.

The voice cut off.

* * *

It was quite an age.

A vague sense of anxiety about the future came to me at first glance.

‘How long are you going to live like that?’

Not a single word was wrong.

The indie game market is unstable.

It is not uncommon for games that have been made with great care and attention to be buried without receiving any special support.

But money has been a secondary issue for me throughout my life.

‘Listen, this aristocratic fellow. Actually, he was an idiot who almost got kicked out of his family… … .’

It was just fun.

I was satisfied with being able to do what I wanted to do, and I was happy with the fact that I was leading a life with it.

Watching a small world made by hand.

Is there anything more enjoyable than that?

To love the stories I created with my own hands and the people who live there.

Is there anything more you’re willing to do?

“oh. I opened my eyes.”

It was an unfamiliar ceiling.

Soft curves calmly. The decorations in red and gold are gorgeous, but not flashy.

The top floor of the Tower of Truth has a more aristocratic color than any other room, to the extent that the imperial family would not be dissatisfied with it even if they stayed there.

“… … why.”

“Magic depletion, exhaustion, dehydration, mental and physical weakness, low blood pressure, hypothermia, I wondered what kind of strange rag Baeller had brought, but what the hell!”

It was the voice of a child. Hearing that lively voice should have cheered me up.

My body felt heavy, as if I had fallen into a pit.

“Your Highness’s bed always has 3-star recovery magic. The ambulance team was called in because they were understaffed. It is 6 am.”

“thank you… … .”

“Thank you, not me, but Her Highness.”

I only slightly turn my eyes, and the child is nodding his head vigorously. I just bowed my head.

Maria’s delivery was concise and clear, making it easy to grasp the situation.

So, is it your child’s room?

Except for the place, the move is the same as the stupid protagonist. Even though it’s later to meet Ai-sama in person, he’ll pass out there too. I had no intention of following this.

I forced myself to stand up.

“It caused trouble.”

“I like not going out. Because it was crowded.”

Ai pointed out the window and said.

It was barely dawning, and crowds of people flocked to all corners of the campus.

It was only natural that Summer Turge, the cradle of the Empire’s talent, had been attacked on a considerable scale.

“Today is just like this.”

Although I still have a lot of work to do, I laid down for now. Healing magic needs to be accepted. The softness that makes you addicted is a bonus.

Then I suddenly realize

“Hood… … .”

“Maria washed it and left it out. It was a strange thing.”

“Is your highness all right?”

“Are you worried about me? Ugh, I don’t think it’s okay.”

Could it have been hurt?

It must have been the first time he had ever seen a monster, so even a child could have been taken aback. Appearance is fine… … .

“Looking at it makes my heart tickle, makes me want to reach out, and more than anything, resisting that urge is so much fun.”

No, that’s not what I’m talking about.

The child muttered as he closed and opened his fingers. This guy’s charm doesn’t cover the time.

“Is this love?”

“I don’t think so. never.”

“It’s a pity.”

It’s time to share a joke.

Now I had to face reality.

Even though Ai-nim didn’t ask, he saw my expression change and started talking. Anyway, he’s like a ghost.

“Eight people are dead.”

Then, I glanced over. Are you fine? Check it out and talk.

“Six freshmen, two servants.”

“And.”

“About 70 people were injured. Fortunately, there were no outsiders, so there won’t be much friction.”

It was past midnight, so there must have been no outsiders. The one responsible for the negligent management was the Empire’s own academy, Summer Turge, so in that case, there was a high chance that they would have to pay a huge amount of compensation.

So fortunately, that’s how it ended. for this princess.

“You are heartless. I’m a freshman like you.”

“Haven’t you ever spoken a word? Neither do you.”

“I… … .”

I tried to smile, but the corners of my mouth went up and my expression became weird.

“Because the cases are a little different.”

“know. You said you were trying to save him? Aren’t you wrong? Forget it.”

I didn’t do anything wrong.

Aini’s words are not wrong. From this guy’s point of view, ‘Locktrin Aindarlock’ could definitely be like that. The guy is not guilty.

But for ‘me’.

“Tk.”

The child went to work.

At least, the dog barked blankly. Even though I was worried for a while because I wasn’t relaxing my expression, Ai-nim soon reached out his hand.

“Not good, not good… … .”

shuck, shuck.

What I thought was a puppy was reversed, and instead, Ai-sama was stroking my hair. There was no time to ask what I was doing.

Stopping your hand abruptly.

“Ouch! I couldn’t stand it!”

Screams daintyly.

In the end, he couldn’t resist the charm of level 10. I wonder if I was thinking of defeat, or something like that.

I couldn’t hold back my laughter, so if I was going to cheer myself up, I succeeded absurdly.

“Anyway! Even if it were me, the two would have been difficult. Don’t be too heartbroken.”

“Not even one. majesty.”

If that high-ranking monster wasn’t Kanin, but another clumsy professor was brought in, the ending would be bad.

I emphasized again with a firm face.

“Never. You shouldn’t get hurt.”

“Yes? okay… … .”

Even the quiet Euril managed to save herself by throwing herself.

I wonder if it would be of any use to a child who doesn’t know where he is going. I had no choice but to ask.

“There was a letter addressed to Count Aindarok. It seems to have been sent from the family.”

“A letter?”

By that time, my heart had calmed down, and I calmly accepted the letter Maria held out. Shining golden shield.

It was the pattern of the Aindarlock family.

In particular, the black wax seal signifies that the letter was sent directly by the owner of the house.

“Looks like Marquis Coltman sent it. That rocky person also seems to know how to write a letter.”

“Anyway, don’t go anywhere and rest in peace! I guess I have to go somewhere.”

It is not polite to peek at such a letter. The child left the room with Maria, and I was left alone to carefully open the envelope.

Would you like to send me some money?

[Rockstrin Aindarok.

The courage to steal an heirloom at will is imaginary. I paid ten times the price to buy back the wealth you sold for a bargain.]

From the moment you read the first sentence.

Although it was very brief, I lost my mind that I had barely regained.
