My Game Friends Were Foreigners in Mythology

11 – To me, the academy is murder (3)

As there are few shamans, there are no constellations that support them.

This is a phenomenon that occurred because the mechanism of witchcraft is completely different from that of magic.

There is currently only one constellation that supports shamans.

‘The old fox of the back mountain.’

Currently, all shamans, without exception, have contracts with this constellation.

[An old fox from the back mountain is talking to you.]

“…?”

Iris Gostrick was the youngest daughter of an ancient family of shamans.

In fact, 50% of shamans could be regarded as belonging to her family, ‘Ghostrick’.

Among them, she has a talent that is beyond heaven, and at the same time as she awakened, she succeeded in signing a contract with the Constellation.

But it was the first time she had experienced this phenomenon.

The phenomenon of her constellation talking directly to her.

“Muh, what’s going on?”

[An old fox in the back mountain gnashing his teeth ferociously, ‘My servant was beaten by the damn guy.’ Says.]

“Lord, are you saying that one of the shamans was beaten by a villain?”

This is right from the point of view of the old fox in the back mountain.

There are still few Shamans, so every time one dies it’s a huge loss.

But that doesn’t make her Constellation talk to her.

[The old fox on the back mountain said, ‘Kill the damned henchman.’ Says.]

“Yes…?”

The bloody bastard’s henchman.

Why don’t you tell me to kill that damn bastard yourself?

Why are you suddenly ordering yourself to be killed in the first place?

Iris stared at her message, confused.

[The old fox of the back mountain will make a contract with you to incarnate if he kills his henchman.]

“…!”

Still confused, she couldn’t help but open her eyes at the message.

What is the Incarnation Contract?

Isn’t it the direct contract of the Constellation, which can only be done by one per Constellation?

Of course, the person who signed the incarnation contract takes the strongest position among those who signed a contract with that constellation.

‘If that happens, I can revive Ghostrick again…!’

Ghostrick.

A family of shamans with bones that have produced countless talents so far.

Unsurprisingly, due to the small number of shaman talents, only the name remains today.

As a shaman born there, she has a natural talent and wants her family to be revived.

“But if you kill someone, you become a villain…?”

The problem is that as a hero, I was reluctant to just kill an innocent person.

[The old fox on the back mountain said, ‘It’s no problem if you become an incarnation.’ Says.]

“…”

This is definitely the right story.

He killed people and suddenly became an ‘incarnation’.

Then people will think like this.

– Ah! He killed a person, but looking at the fact that the shaman’s constellation allowed him to incarnate, the dead guy was actually an asshole!!

A modern day where constellations reign over humans.

The Constellation’s actions were the judgment seat that determined their sins.

[An old fox in the back mountain said, ‘The only right person right now is you, who is closest to him.’ Says.]

“…Who is the target?”

[The old fox in the back mountain is ‘Kim Hyeon-seong from Class F of the Academy.’ I answer.]

Kim Hyeon-seong from Academy F class.

I don’t know the name or the face.

But she had to make up her mind.

‘If I refuse here, I’ll go crazy.’

If you refuse here, you will be stamped by the Constellation and you will not be able to receive proper support.

If so, her long-cherished wish of ‘revival of the family’ will be over forever.

But.

‘If you kill me…’

If Kim Hyeon-seong is killed, the ‘revival of the family’ will be confirmed.

“Ha, I will.”

So Iris Gostrick decided to kill him.

In sparring for everyone to see, showing all the appearances of being promoted to incarnation, preventing any gossip from coming out at all.

And that was the dumbest choice of her life.

* * *

-Hey, did you hear? I heard there’s a Dalian this lunchtime?

-Who?

-Class F and class A. I don’t know the details.

-f*ck, is your conscience broken?

The news of the two fighting spread quickly throughout the academy.

Class A and Class F fight. Of course, it’s a material that can’t help but burn.

This was no different than a heavyweight champion saying he was going to have a match with an elementary school student.

-So you can’t see it?

-Of course you should.

Of course, that didn’t mean I wouldn’t watch it.

Honestly, even if you’re like me, if you say you’re going to fight with a muscle hyung-nim in elementary school, you’ll think it’s f*cking fun~ and run to see it.

“Which weapon should I choose?”

Sitting in the waiting room, I looked at the weapons for sparring and asked.

[Nyarlathotep, a foreign correspondent, says to pick up anything and mess around.]

You mean it doesn’t matter what the weapon is?

“…I’ll just listen to the ones I’m familiar with.”

Knuckles.

Weapons such as swords and spears were too difficult to learn, so they were used for simple punching.

Actually, knuckles are the weapons that helped me fight the most.

Well, I never won in the end, though.

Sure.

You can feel the cold sensation between your fingers when you kick the knuckles.

Because of that feeling, I definitely felt that the sparring was about to begin.

I said that Nyarlathotep was fine, but it is true that I am worried.

It’s strange that I’m not worried when there’s a difference of 5 steps.

Ugh.

At that time, the cell phone vibrated.

-Please enter now.

It was a Kakao X AutoTalk message telling me to go in soon.

I saw that and got up and slowly entered the arena.

The size of the competition hall was quite large because it was perceived as a kind of dueling ground.

It’s comfortable to think of it as the size of a fairly decent playground.

When I entered the arena, Iris Gostrick stood across from me with a spleen expression on her face, and the audience seats were full of people, as if they had heard the rumors.

-Wow!!!

The crowd cheers without knowing what people are thinking.

All of them were wearing their academy uniforms.

-Iris!!!

But no one cheered me on.

Of course not. Because the names are completely different. I’m losing my spirits.

I sighed heavily and took a stance…

“Kim Hyun-seong win!!!”

At that time, a huge shout pierced my ears.

When I turned my head with a puzzled face, I saw a familiar face holding a placard and shouting.

[Kim Hyun-seong, the strongest in the universe]

He was Goo Ha-seong, whom I brainwashed with my abilities.

‘…I don’t want to be cheered on.’

I wonder if there were many people cheering for me, but since there was only one, I was rather embarrassed.

I ignored him and returned to my stance.

“You’re not going to beat me anyway. Why don’t you just prepare to get hit as little as possible?”

Iris, standing across from you, makes a shy provocation.

Honestly, whether you lose or win, from the point of view of taking 500 million won, such a provocation is acceptable.

And if she dares to do weightlifting and offends her, it’s me who loses her heart.

I still have an unfavorable image, but I can’t take on the position of treason.

“The couplets begin.”

The teacher in charge of the referee for the matchup shouted roughly to start the matchup with an expression of annoyance.

* * *

Standing in the arena, Iris continued her thoughts with her serious face.

‘Is this correct…’

I don’t even know what crimes the aspiring hero committed… Is it right for her to kill someone who doesn’t even know if she committed a crime in the first place?

Since the Constellation ordered her to kill her directly, the bad guy would surely be beaten.

If I had even offered up the incarnation contract as a reward, I would have committed a really great sin.

But she still didn’t know what kind of person she was, and the thought of whether it was right to kill her overcame her.

‘No. Killing is right.’

A hero is someone who kills a villain.

It is right to kill evil people to the extent that the Constellation gives orders.

Didn’t you say that he was the henchman of the villain who killed the shaman in the first place?

Then it must be a villain.

‘I don’t know why you’re at the academy and stuck in class F, but…’

For her ultimate goal, ‘revival of the family’, she kills a villain.

That was the only thing Iris could remember.

Turb, tumble.

After waiting for a while, someone walks slowly across the street.

He frowned as if he didn’t like the situation.

Then he looked around her a few times and stopped in one place.

[Kim Hyun-seong, the strongest in the universe]

I followed those eyes and looked in the same direction, and there was a man holding a placard that was embarrassing even to others.

‘…I’m all embarrassed.’

I don’t know why he was cheering for Kim Hyun-seong, but he was in a situation where he was embarrassed.

This was the first time I felt sympathy for a villain.

‘I don’t intend to watch it though.’

She made up her mind again and opened her mouth mockingly at Kim Hyeon-seong.

‘I learned that the basis of winning is fighting spirit.’

“You’re not going to beat me anyway. Why don’t you just prepare to get hit as little as possible?”

As the saying goes, the match is decided before she gets into the ring, so she tried to eat the fight first like last time.

I lost the fight last time, but I firmly believe that the war of nerves will be different.

However, he did not respond to her determination.

No, his expression didn’t change at all, as if there was no blow.

‘Tsk.’

Slightly annoyed by that fact, she took the same pose as him.

“The couplets begin.”

Academy teacher’s nonchalant match start signal.

She quickly began to roll her head.

‘First of all, with magic to strengthen the body…’

Flame!

“…!”

At that moment, a ball of fire flew at her at great speed.

Shuuk!

After barely avoiding the fireball, she glanced away at her fireball.

Puong!

A fireball of tremendous destructive power.

Even though the firepower is so great, the fire doesn’t even go out.

In that moment, she realized.

I’m not worrying about whether it’s right to kill him,

He had to worry about how he could live on his own.
