I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

15 – Magical Girl

“… finally.”

come. that day

I slowly picked up the letter in front of me and opened it.

A white piece of paper pulled out of my hand after the red seal was removed.

There were letters written on it that I was familiar with.

“The Phrygian Academy… .”

It is the main stage of the game ‘Hero Saga’ and the place where most of the characters in the work appear.

There are various academies across the continent, but among them, the Freesia Academy is different.

The Phrygia Academy, which trains high-quality talents to join the knights that spread throughout the empire, was able to enter only those who showed exceptional talent in magic if it was magic or martial arts if it was martial arts.

Since it is known as the capital academy, not only does it have a good reputation for recruiting outstanding talent, but even the instructors who guide students have overspecs.

The only people I can remember were the knight commanders, warriors from the previous generation, and post-humans reaching the ranks of horses.

“Place and time are like games.”

The gathering location and time were fortunately the same as the game.

The only difference from the original is that Mene did not collapse.

Redevelopment is proceeding smoothly, and there is still room for food supply.

Residents who had died have recovered their health to some extent.

This must all be thanks to Nadia’s elixir.

‘Perhaps by now if I hadn’t asked Jed… .’

I know it’s a meaningless assumption, but I was lucky to know of Nadia’s existence, who doesn’t even appear in the original story.

She introduced herself as a chemist, but she didn’t look like a normal chemist.

I think the way she looked at me was strange recently, but I didn’t say much because she was willing to cooperate for the village.

“… .”

The village is stabilizing and going according to the flow of affairs.

All that was left was to go to the academy.

The beginning of the ‘Hero Saga’ is approaching.

＜ 32 ＞

The entrance ceremony where the game starts, of course, the level starts from 1.

If my prediction is correct, my current level should be unrivaled among students.

I took out the notebook I had prepared in advance and checked the contents.

As soon as I came here, I wrote down the simple timelines of the game in my notebook.

The first event occurred right after the game started, and there was a sparring in the gymnasium where people gathered for the entrance ceremony.

Since it was an academy that trains knights and wizards to deal with monsters appearing all over the continent, it can be seen as a kind of test to see the basic skills.

Of course, it is each individual’s choice whether to go to the front line or not, but the ultimate goal of the academy is to ensure that only academy graduates can respond adequately in case of emergency.

A class assignment battle to determine the skills of students and divide them into classes with similar levels to conduct different classes.

Naturally, the main character and his party catch the eyes of the instructors and are assigned to a higher class.

‘Is it better to follow the original?’

At my current level, it was possible for any student to win.

Even if you don’t have to train separately, you can cover everything with the talent that Altane has in your body.

If you wanted to, you could stand out more than the group of main characters.

There were many benefits that could be received if assigned to a higher class.

Certainly, the benefits of living an academy are greedy.

However, in order to avoid the ending of Altane, who became the final boss and was brutally killed by the main character, I had to avoid following the path of Altane as much as possible.

‘still.’

In order to continue the academy life without encountering the main character as much as possible, you have to sew the first button well.

In order to do that, I had to follow the flow of the original work with irresistible force.

Being assigned to the highest class will make it easier later on.

‘Then I have no choice but to go a little late.’

“What do you think?”

After looking at the notebook for a while, the door opened and Nadia entered.

She had a bottle full of pills in her hands.

“What is that?”

“I’m here to talk about this anyway.”

“I can’t afford to spend anywhere else right now.”

“Why don’t you listen to the explanation? You’ll regret it if you don’t listen.”

Nadia winked and smiled. It’s a different attitude from when I first saw it.

Before long, she spread the bottles of medicine she was carrying on the desk.

Each vial was a different color.

Red and blue, green and white.

there-

“golden yellow?”

“You see that too? I have eyes to see.”

It is the eye that sees, sleeping and emitting light alone.

“It’s just shining.”

“That means this new statue.”

“body?”

“I did my own research. It seems that the efficiency of the elixir mixed with the meal is too poor.”

“The residents’ health seems to be returning.”

“It will have an effect. But there are too many elixirs in it. There are hundreds of elixirs that go into each meal.”

“Are you saying that the number of elixirs being manufactured cannot keep up with that number?”

“That’s right.”

widely.

Nadia sets the golden elixir down in front of me.

Then he raised one corner of his mouth and said.

“I found something good in the forest you went into this time.”

“better thing?… No, more than that, how do you know I went?”

“You can’t know if you act so obvious. Did you think you wouldn’t know?”

Nadia answers with a shrug.

She had a subtle smile and seemed to help me like this even after she knew who I was.

I really thought you wouldn’t know.

“for now… I thought so.”

“You mean… Anyway, that’s for later. I was really surprised to catch an Ent that reached the level of a high-ranking monster, but you didn’t check the bottom properly, right?”

“You mean nuclear?”

“The details are trade secrets— eh, how did you know?”

“It is common sense that the core will fall when the monster disappears.”

It is common sense for gamers that when you kill a monster, money and materials drop.

However, in Hero Saga, monster cores fall instead of money.

Depending on the size of the monster, the size varies greatly, but because it is very versatile, it was used as an all-purpose material, so it could be sold at a good price anywhere.

It seems that the act of making money by doing this repeatedly was also called re-harvesting, and people who make this re-harvesting a living are so-called adventurers.

To be honest, I wasn’t very interested in it because it was a nogadaseong play that didn’t suit me.

But, it can also be used for elixirs.

I stared at the dark green orb that Nadia took out.

Nadia said in a puzzled voice.

“… Oh, did you not pick it up even though you knew it?”

“Because I don’t need it.”

property is still there. There is no reason to collect nuclei and run a bundle business. I’m not as talented at making things as she is.

And when the village becomes stable, the stopped income will start to come in again.

“So what is the effect of that elixir? It doesn’t seem like simple efficiency is good.”

“right. That’s why I came to you.”

“Well?”

“Have a drink and tell me your opinion.”

“what?”

I asked again while holding the golden elixir that Nadia held out.

“I haven’t told you all about the effects yet.”

“yes. That’s why I want you to drink it.”

‘Crazy seems right.’

Now, obviously, I was her employer.

The situation where I was experimenting with my boss was absurd, so I laughed out loud.

“What if I refuse?”

“Then you should give it to Lisa. He brought something to you that he would like to drink.”

“Are you Lisa?”

No way.

Given Nadia’s personality for a short period of time, she probably wouldn’t have told Risha everything.

No matter how young Risha is, she is a 16-year-old who knows how to make sense of things. I’m not a kid who will follow someone I met for the first time if they give me something to eat.

“Then go to Lisa?”

If I refuse, will Risha eat it?

“There will be no bad effects. It’s because the energy remaining in the core was put into the existing elixir… And I brought it because I am confident.”

You don’t think you’ll drink it all the way.

I sighed and opened the cap of the elixir. Because he couldn’t feel any malice from Nadia. She must be trying to help the people in her own way.

After putting the elixir in her mouth, she spilled Nadia for a while.

‘Is there anything special?’

I counted to three in my mind and drank the elixir in one gulp.

The sweetness that comes out of the texture of eating jelly.

It was like eating konjac jelly.

As I slowly savored the taste, Nadia came over to ask.

“how?”

“Moon.”

“End?”

“Hunger is gone.”

Even though it was only one sip, I felt a feeling of fullness slowly spreading from my stomach.

It was definitely different from regular elixirs mixed with food.

“Looks like a success.”

“If you look at the effect, it seems to be so good that it can be sold on the market. I don’t feel any hunger at all.”

“It will have a greater effect on healing wounds than a normal elixir.”

“If so, this is a great invention.”

If it even heals the wound, it should be able to replace the potion.

I have never seen such an elixir even in the game.

‘If only I could make this here… .’

If you can return the village that was close to extinction to normal and develop your own products and export them, you can increase Mene’s competitiveness.

As a bonus, it will help reduce the notoriety of the Altane family that has spread throughout the continent.

“Nadia, maybe-“

“Commercialization will still be difficult.”

“… Why?”

Nadia, who interrupted my reaction as if she had expected it, pointed out two challenges for commercialization.

First, the workshop.

Since only Nadia could manufacture the elixir, no matter how good the workshop was, Nadia had to operate it alone.

It is possible to teach the recipe, but since the number of wizards who are good at making elixirs is small, it is said that it takes several years just for training.

Second is the material.

The nucleus of an Ent is not infinite. I’ll probably be done with making a few golden elixirs.

I hear that it can be done with other monsters’ cores, but I’m the only one in town who can procure monsters’ cores.

Since he, too, was going to enter the academy tomorrow, it would be difficult to commercialize the golden elixir right away.

“Because I am a wandering chemist in the first place. I can’t just stay here.”

Nadia said with a wry smile.

Her smile was that of someone who was about to leave.

I held out the neatly emptied elixir bottle to her and said.

“Then let me hire you.”

“uh?”

“For the time being, I want you to stay in the village and make the elixir. Let’s discuss the golden elixir later.”

‘I was going to give it anyway, but it just went well.’

No matter how you find it, you can’t miss it.

I handed out the bag of gold I had prepared separately to Nadia.

It was exactly double the gold Jed had paid for hiring her.

Actually, I was going to give it to you in the evening, but I guess it doesn’t matter.

Nadia’s elixir manufacturing skills are precious.

Not only the golden elixir, but her other elixirs are also hard to find on the market.

It’s good to preoccupy these skills quickly.

Nadia’s red eyes flickered at the sight of the gold pouch.

“Uh, um… .”

Nadia winced with her lips pursed.

Her red hair glowed even redder in the setting sun.

“That is for this month. If you stay in Mene, you can get more.”

There is no one in the world who doesn’t like money.

Even if it is a different world, this is an unchanging fact.

We don’t know why Nadia became a vagabond.

Because she was a character that didn’t appear in the game.

“Mene will develop further in the future. I will definitely make it.”

But I could tell that she wasn’t living a wandering life because she wanted to.

Otherwise, there is no way I would give all the elixirs I have for the people of Mene.

“But it is difficult alone. If there are no helpers, it might take several decades.”

He added to Nadia, who seemed hesitant.

“And if you don’t like the treatment in the slightest, you can leave anytime. You can write a separate contract.”
