chapter 14
14. Demon Beast Trouble
●
The Berkeley Hall, where the freshmen welcome party is held, is one of the largest and most complex buildings in Elfante.
In order to receive and control the new students flocking from all over the continent at once, it must be because there is no way to come up with an answer unless it is a building of this size.
In other words, unlike the friendly name of the welcome party for freshmen, the atmosphere of the actual event is a buzz that can be said to be far away in the middle of the market.
I feel pity when I see faculty members shouting from all sides and trying to control students in any way possible.
So, the good news is that the chances of being ‘caught’ during an event are significantly reduced when you don’t even have time to care about other people.
So now it’s time for this to appear.
◎ Clone Walker
[ Item: Special ]
[ Price: 1,000pt ]
[ Creates an alter ego that mimics the main body’s personality and behavior. You can interact with other buffs too! ]
[ Remaining points: 1,000pt ]
As an expensive point, I can feel almost no difference from my main body. It even has the ability to move on its own by learning my usual behavior and conversation patterns.
It’s not perfect, of course, but you can add one more thing to it.
◎ Buff: Enhance Charisma
[ Item: Special ]
[ Give it a personality! Various properties are added to the object. Currently 2 species open! ]
Option: Cool Gentleman
[You have no words and are clumsy! Why don’t you try to wrap it with coldness? ]
[ Price: 500pt ]
Option: Pheromone
[You can also become a playboy! Every action has an added point that makes it easy for the opposite sex to like it! ]
[ Price: 500pt ]
[ Remaining points: 1,000pt ]
You can apply the cool gentleman option to the clone side.
If this is the case, even if I control the clones a little loosely, they will mistakenly think, ‘Oh, this person is originally such a cool and blunt person!’
what is a pheromone
“…”
don’t buy
never buy
The same goes for Elijah, and especially Elnor, the speed at which his likeability rises is unusual.
No matter how lethal a charm skill is, it feels like it grows strangely fast.
To the point where I questioned whether or not this person was easily seduced by others from the start.
‘I’ll have to see a conclusion someday.’
I smile bitterly at that thought.
I know myself that running away will not solve the problem.
After all, that person is the most important person in the scenario related to the gray devil. There are scattered problems that must be solved in order to reach the ending.
As long as I have my gift, it is also self-evident that I will definitely be involved in it.
‘…But still.’
There is such a thing as degree.
I haven’t taken a single class at the academy right now. Isn’t it too soon to get involved with something more than this?
‘From what needs to be done.’
I sighed inwardly and pulled the other window in front of my eyes.
【Event: Double Date】
– That’s great! You decided to hit two important people at the same time!
-Don’t get caught until the end of the event!
-If you fail, you will be penalized in proceeding with the scenario!
[ Remaining time: 20 minutes ]
“…”
I don’t know what fluffing is.
In the first place, the plan itself is a mess. Even if someone tells me that they saw me in different places at the same time, they get caught right away.
However, it feels like it is somehow possible to hold on until the end of the limited time.
It’s right to take off the penalty right now, and even if you get caught after that, think about the back then…!
“Ah, you! This way!”
I see Elnor, who spotted me from afar, waving.
Unansweredly, he raises his hand above his head and shakes it.
The surroundings are so shit, so if you don’t do that, you won’t be able to see it.
great. First of all, if I apply the option to the clone side while meeting Elnor…
-!
-!!!
The moment I tried to tap each screen like that, I was startled by a scream that came from nearby and my body jumped.
I was so surprised that I unknowingly scratched the shop window in front of me.
“Get out of the way!”
“It’s dangerous, so all the students, get back!”
I peeked into the hallway outside the hall and saw a huge bear-shaped monster chained behind bars being escorted by several knights.
Sometimes those captured from the outskirts are escorted inside the academy. It is important as a test subject or research material.
It’s dangerous, but I know that some professors are vehemently arguing that there is no research subject of the highest level as a living witch beast.
“…”
Of course, because of that, accidents happen at the new student welcome party.
There is a reason why I put Ultrama first among the widely spread items.
‘But what…’
Probably, since the main character and the final boss are in the same place, suppression itself will be possible without difficulty.
If I just put those two in the right place at the right time.
You just have to pay attention to that part. Thinking so, I turned my gaze back to the window.
[ Option: Completed purchase of Charisma! ]
[ Option: Pheromones have been purchased! ]
[ Completed option grant. ]
[ Body – Options: Apply Pheromones! ]
[ Alter – Option: Apply Charisma! ]
“…”
what the fuck
Why was pheromone purchased, and is it even applied to me?
In the first place, this wasn’t a clone, was it something that could be put into the main body?
‘…Come to think of it.’
I was startled earlier and scratched the shop window.
But it’s like that. How the hell do I have to scratch artistically so that it goes in like this?
“Dude, what have you been blankly doing…”
Elnor, who had come closer and said so, stopped talking the moment our eyes met.
[ A pheromone effect is applied to the target ‘Elnor’! ]
no. do not do that.
please.
Elnor’s eyes widen. The breath is also sucked inward.
An alarm goes off in my head.
This pattern has existed before…!
[Skill: Activates fatal attraction…]
[…Does not! ]
[The other person is trying hard not to like you! ]
“…”
okay. It was a pattern that had existed before.
The content is a bit strange.
I don’t know why you’re suppressing it, but if it’s fortunate, it’s fortunate?
As he pondered those thoughts, Elnor, who had regained his expressionless expression in an instant, muttered while pressing down on his chest.
“Calm down. Because it is noisy.”
“…Yes?”
“I didn’t mean to you.”
Then who did you say it to?
“I did it to my heart.”
“…”
“It was noisy.”
I don’t even know what to answer when I see Elnor adding that without changing his expression.
This person, as in the original work, is sometimes seriously 4D.
“…Let’s go for now.”
Saying so, move your body.
By now, the clones would have contacted Elijah. In order not to run into them, this side needs to move anyway.
But I’m a little worried about the pheromone effect.
Will everything be alright…?
●
To be honest, it was a series of crises.
“Oh, there’s a snack shop over there. Shall we go eat some?”
[Skill: Activates fatal attraction…]
[…Does not! ]
“…How could I like that… No, it must be a coincidence.”
uh. It’s a real coincidence.
In the first place, I don’t even know your taste in food.
“This button is fine. Shall I give you a gift?”
[Skill: Activates fatal attraction…]
[…Does not! ]
“I did think that a spot on my uniform had fallen off and I had to put it on. You couldn’t have been watching me as usual. Well.”
“…”
They say they intentionally give you strange things like buttons, but I hope you don’t attach meaning to them.
It is to the point that even I am fascinated by the way he interprets each and every trivial action by himself and his emotions fluctuate by himself.
‘My head hurts…’
Still, I’m glad I’m escorting this guy with barely any problems. The clone on Elijah’s side seems to be getting along well with that side.
If this is enough, it won’t be a big deal if you just proceed as you are now.
Thanks to my free time, I took a quick look around the inside of the reception hall.
The overall scene is that students who have decided on their majors get together in groups of threes and threes, and are led by seniors and build friendships.
I haven’t been officially assigned to any class yet, so I can’t receive guidance like that.
“By the way, have you decided on a major?”
“Oh, I did.”
Actually, this is a problem that I’ve been thinking about quite a lot.
In Sera’s world, choosing a ‘major’ is actually deciding the main build.
“I’m going to the theology department.”
Elnor’s expression darkened.
“…It’s a waste of talent to not enter the Knights Faculty with your level of talent. How about thinking about it again?”
Well, it’s certainly not a bad thing to do as I say.
The power of the Tristan-type swordsmanship, which is displayed in a desperate state, has already been experienced to overflowing.
But this is the path I chose for a reason.
“There is something I want to learn in the theology department.”
“What do you want to learn?”
“There was something I wanted to protect from long ago.”
uh.
Is it mainly my life?
Divinity-related skills are the most ‘survival’ specialized builds among all the builds that exist in Sera. You can tell just by looking at the blessings that have been put into Ultramar right now, they are specialized in that aspect.
In particular, if you unlock high-level skills like ‘miracle’ later, you can play drums and drums by yourself.
Anyway, it must be a build that meets my purpose of living to the ending and going in a straight line.
‘and…’
What follows immediately after this freshman welcome event is the ‘Secret Association Jundong’ incident, which is the first chapter.
If you take a class as a major in sacred studies, there is a high probability that you will receive a great advantage there. The chapter boss is particularly vulnerable to divinity.
You can organically utilize the one-time wish ticket to use on Percy, the items to be obtained from the vision warehouse, and the ultramar obtained in advance.
[Skill: Activates fatal attraction…]
[…Does not! ]
“…”
But what are you, you explode here too.
As I was looking there in bewilderment, Elnor muttered quietly next to me.
“…So, stop doing that.”
“Yes?”
“Seriously or not… It’s hard to judge. Are you born that way?”
Having said that, Elnor shook her head and quietly opened her mouth.
The atmosphere is heavy.
“Are you aware of the curse that resides in the Tristan family, dear?”
Suddenly, a serious topic strikes. As I was looking at him in a bit of a panic, Elnor continued to speak in a calm voice.
“A madness that makes everyone in the family unable to live even half of the life they were given. The only way to control it is to suppress it through mental training. Do you know what the only suggested solution to such a terrible curse is?”
Know.
Angel’s protection.
I need the miraculous protection given to me by several archangels at the same time, not the humble level I received at Ultramar.
In fact, it’s a story that comes out of the creation myth. unrealistic.
“okay. It’s that hard. So, despite his achievements and prestige, the Duke of Tristan is never respected. It is just an object of fear that can go mad and stab people at any time.”
“…”
“But why are you so easy to come to me? What is the alternative intention?”
There is a slight chill in his voice. Looking at myself, it’s the opposite of showing off a lot more colorful emotions than usual.
So I kept suppressing it even though I kept feeling like it.
Because I don’t know why I’m approaching him like this.
“Even though I can’t understand your intentions, you are becoming conscious of you to a strange degree. I just heard that there are ‘things I want to protect’ just entering the theology department, but I subconsciously wondered if it was for me. you, who are you? What are your intentions and what do you want from me-”
Seeing Elnor muttering something, my spine jumped right up.
It seems that he got a fever because he was caught by his fatal charm and even got pheromones, and his doctor kept dragging him here and there against his intentions.
“…”
Does this look a little dangerous?
If left alone, it feels like a crack in the mentality, a precursor to depravity, will appear.
It must be clear that my existence is having more influence on this person than I thought.
“The intention is obvious.”
“…”
A sentence of mine slipped between Elnor’s words. It was great penetration, I think.
“…obvious?”
“It’s true that you’re trying to protect it, so there’s no need to think hard about it.”
First of all, it seems better to reveal my intentions because it’s good.
My means of survival is directly related to bowing hard next to him so that his mentality is not broken.
That’s not to say it’s fundamentally wrong.
“…So what is the reason-”
“If I don’t, I will die.”
“what?”
“really. If I don’t keep it, I will die. There is no other reason.”
“…”
It is a pure fact without any exaggeration.
I can only answer this much for now.
Elnor heard me and blinked his eyes with a dumbfounded expression.
“…I felt it from the first time we met, but you are a very strange person.”
“Didn’t I tell you that you often hear that?”
With that in reply, he robs his seat and stands up.
Well, fortunately, since he added something to it, it doesn’t seem like he’s going to crack his mentality like before. satisfied with that-
[Skill: Fatal attraction is conditionally activated! ]
[ Great timing! I planted a foreshadowing that will make you explosively liked later! ]
[The next time the skill is successfully activated, the effect is tripled! ]
[ The chance of opening the second gift increases! ]
“…”
– I could have done it.
What do you plant?
Are you worried that this kind of thing keeps popping up?
A while ago, it exploded once because of a great skill success, but it puts in something strange again.
Thinking so, let’s sigh inside.
-!
-!!
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred.
“…?”
No, it’s really out of the blue.
What is this?
In an instant, an abysmal battle unfolds. The entire floor collapsed due to an explosion that erupted from the basement, and a huge hole pierced the Berkeley Hall.
“In the basement…!”
“What the hell?!”
Screams and shouts come from all directions.
It is a somewhat familiar sight. chill down the spine
‘this…!’
The monsters breeding in the basement of the Berkeley Hall run rampant. This explosion is sabotage with that intent.
Demonstration commotion. Obviously, the ‘main quest’ that takes place at the freshman welcome party is correct, but it’s much bigger and more terrifying than I remember.
In the first place, such a huge explosion did not happen, but at most it was just a level where a few monsters were released from their reins and went wild!
Quickly check the clone’s location. The route I’ve drawn is clear…
[Location of Clone: Current B1 Floor]
[Status: Serious Injury]
[ Companion: Elijah Krisanax ]
“…”
yeah, shit
Somehow it came off easily.
