Episode 123. Am I an ally? (3)
Jason, who received the Nobel record as a gift, had a rather pleasant expression on his face.
If you look at the guy’s face at that time, it feels so romantic that there is no one else who is truly in love.
But if you think about the actions in the main story, you can see that it is a distorted desire.
He is a man who does not know morality and cannot properly understand the concept of love. He simply treats everything other than himself as an object.
`A stick is the best medicine for that kind of guy.`
I gave the Nobel record as a gift, pretending it was a good thing, just like I did to Mary before.
First, I lied and gave it to Professor Stella, saying it was her taste.
I don’t know if you’ll really like it, but it’ll probably suit most women’s tastes.
I’m looking forward to bedtime, since you asked me to read it right away tonight.
`But surely… I wouldn’t be opening my eyes to strange tastes like Mary?`
No way.
Mary had at least some personality, but Jason doesn’t have even a speck of that… Honestly, I don’t know what will happen.
Above all, Jason cannot achieve that love regardless of his inclination. If Trisha had been left alone like in the main story, then it would have been different, but here, he has a new partner.
In short, Jason is having an unrequited love affair with a woman who already has a partner.
Honestly, I was shocked that Professor Radian became a couple, but aside from that, it created a pretty interesting situation.
Considering Jason’s actions, it’s actually good that he’s a cheapskate.
`But what on earth did he say at the end?`
I lay in bed thinking, because that’s the last thing I heard from Jason today.
-They say that the 7th generation of leaders have infiltrated the academy with one more person. It seems like they put them in to prevent continued failures… but I don’t know who it is.
There’s word that another Doomsday official has enrolled.
It’s already hard enough taking care of Jason, but if another guy comes along, things will get even more annoying.
Besides, since we don’t know who they are, it seems like it’ll be more of a headache than the Shadow Troopers.
‘Among the guys under the 7th constellation, was there anyone who could be admitted undercover?’
Even if there is one, it is only a trump card that is difficult to pull out carelessly.
For example, there is the mid-boss of Chapter 5, `Aisha, the Wings of Fury`.
But it’s a mid-boss, and it’s a monster that’s difficult to defeat even if all the playable characters except Lyman attack together.
I don’t think Doomsday would use that massive weapon any time soon.
“But why do my ears tickle so much….”
My twitching ears keep me from sleeping. My eyes can’t close properly because I feel like someone is talking to me.
My eyes were closed, so I was acclimated to the dark and could clearly see the darkened room. I could hear people snoring from the bed across from me, which was behind a curtain.
As I thought that the single room was much lower… my eyes closed on their own.
* * * * *
The circumstances surrounding the installation of a bed vary from person to person.
Whether you can’t sleep because you’re excited, worried, or have serious concerns, these are the worst troublemakers that always keep you awake at night.
When something important or something that absolutely needs to be done comes up, your mind becomes active until you come up with a solution.
Especially if you go to bed at that time, you will wake up the next morning and find yourself going to school or work in a panda state.
“I shouldn’t have thought about it in the first place.”
Nevia Cromag’s mind was also clear. No, rather than being clear, it was so bright that it felt like it was going to burn brightly.
The bed in the first-star dormitory boasts the most luxurious facilities. Despite savoring its warmth and coziness, it was impossible to fall asleep.
“Radon Crowler, it’s all his fault.”
After thinking about that guy, everything became strange.
It felt like I was lost. Just paying attention to his presence for a moment made my vision seem strange. It was so distorted that I lost my way home.
“If only I hadn’t met that man… I would have enjoyed a stable life.”
A lion chosen by God and given his power. Although she is called a saint, she is not a saint on the inside.
In fact, even when I was first chosen, I had my doubts. Why was I given light to a child rotting away in the slums?
It was impossible not to doubt the sanity of the god who had so brazenly chosen her as a saint.
It gives power and authority to the crooked. At first I thought so… but now I don’t know.
─I got the power.
─I got the position.
─Those who support him came into being.
─You can escape from the slums that are like a cesspool.
─You can escape from your trashy mother.
Why bother when you can achieve all of this at once?
No fool would sit still when they have a ladder leading to a place they’ve always looked up to.
Even though it may not be heaven, it will certainly not be hell.
There you could learn sorcery and magic.
He even discovered a hidden talent called ‘Ga-hee’ that he almost died without knowing about.
You can get whatever you want. Once you set your eyes on something, you will never let it go.
Someone is gossiping. They say that my insides are very dangerous.
Someone says confidently that they will help me get what I want.
It is cowardly to talk behind someone’s back. Thinking so, Nebia naturally followed the latter’s words.
I just ran where the sweet scent led me. As a result… I fell into the abyss.
“If only I had just stayed still back then….”
She had already heard the plan from Jason before she entered school. It was decided that Nevia would cooperate on the condition that she would get everything.
The holy sword Rosaria used by the previous saint. If I could just get my hands on it, I could drive out that vixen woman and be revered as a true saint.
But after meeting Radon Crowler, my thoughts started to change. What he said never left my mind, and I became obsessed with him.
This won’t work. I declared it when I finally met Jason again.
Ask them to let you leave the plan out.
`Actually, it doesn’t matter if I don’t get my hands on the Holy Sword. I’m very peaceful right now.`
But the plan had to be kept secret. She knew everything, so Jason wouldn’t let it go.
It was then that I was injected with the bloodworm while I was letting my guard down.
“If I knew this would happen… If I knew this would happen….”
The parasites that have infiltrated her body have assimilated into her bloodstream.
These blood-thirsty insects can kill an elephant by draining it of all its moisture in just a few seconds.
Even the bloodthirsty insects respond only to the will of their master.
Jason can kill Nebia in an instant just by waving from afar.
The cause of this was a moment of carelessness.
‘You said it was a secret, but if you hadn’t dropped all the escort believers…!’
At that time, Nebia absentmindedly drank the black tea that Jason had handed her. He had already predicted Nebia’s hesitation and had soaked the bloodworm in the tea.
Even if the most outstanding magic techniques are used, it is not easy to cure.
The magic of the Holy Spirit is only effective against things like poisons and parasites, and it is not easy to get rid of parasites, which are organisms that hijack the body.
It will take a long time to find a solution, but I wonder if Jason will just sit there and not notice.
Moreover, his subordinates have already infiltrated the clergy and are spying on them.
‘Should I tell the believers right now? If they ask for salvation… I can drag that damned human to hell. But…’
You yourself are also at risk.
If you tell the Pope about this right now, he will have the authority to search and seize Jason.
If that happens, his involvement with Doomsday will be exposed… and he himself will also be exposed for his involvement.
Jason, who is upset by that fact, will not stay still either.
There is a high possibility that he will attempt to commit suicide.
‘It’s scary… I mean, it’s scary.’
I am afraid of death.
Before I knew it, tears were forming in my eyes.
There is no other way to be free from him. Then, you will be able to hear the voice of the selfless saint who risked her life to reveal all the truth.
But she is only a saint in name. Nevia’s heart is not wide enough to devote herself to others.
I am just a mere human being, feeling ordinary joys and sorrows and succumbing to the fear of death.
‘But… Still… ‘
I don’t want to admit it. I absolutely do not want to admit that I was originally a being without qualities.
He thoroughly denied that he was not the vessel of a saint.
─God must not have chosen you for nothing.
─If that’s the case, then there’s no point in giving me light.
─I also had a hidden talent.
─It is definitely fate that I was chosen.
All the weak, worn-out people know how to do is justify their delusions. They don’t stop even though they know it’s a candy like a drug.
And she completely denied the fact that being a saint was actually like being on a bed of thorns.
Because then escaping from the slums becomes meaningless.
I got out of hell and now I’m in hell again? How could that be?
‘It won’t be. It shouldn’t be. It has to be… .’
Regrets are creeping in.
Tears flow down the temples and moisten the temples.
I didn’t feel like getting a good night’s sleep.
I can’t stop wondering where it went wrong.
If you fail to win the presidential election, you will be judged to be truly useless and will be killed.
Only tears sparkled in the darkness, as if she was longing for someone to help her.
* * * * *
There are more pests than usual today.
It’s so funny to see them running around like animals that have found their freedom every weekend.
“This is so disgusting.”
Jason speaks while looking out the window. White flower petals fall in front of the transparent glass.
It was the time when cherry blossoms, sometimes pink and sometimes white, were in full bloom.
“Anyway, once spring comes….”
It is not yet in full bloom, but there were still many faculty and students out on an outing.
What was particularly odd was that a man and a woman walked around as a pair.
Clang!-
Jason uses his strength to cover the window with the curtains. His face turns red with anger and he opens his mouth.
“I guess everyone is gathered here.”
There were four cadets standing there, speaking softly.
They all looked different.
The male student standing on the far right had blue hair, and because of the shadows around his eyes and his white skin, he could easily be mistaken for a ghost.
The magenta-haired female cadet next to her had unfocused eyes, and the black-haired male cadet right next to her had a scar etched into his face.
And the male cadet on the far left had magic circle-like tattoos all over his hands and arms.
“How is your condition?”
They answered Jason’s question obediently.
“Lenka Uslan, there is no problem…”
“Helk Mangelo, is there anything you want to tear up? Just tell me.”
“Lavender Branch, whatever you do now, it doesn’t matter. Kick!”
“Slave replicant, Ihadongmun.”
They speak differently from each other, and they put their hands in their pockets or act badly in front of the instructor.
Although it was obvious that he had nothing to say even if he heard the loud voice, Jason smiled at the sight instead.
Because they were Jason’s confidants who entered as freshmen.
“Do you like the new powers you’ve been given? Are there any side effects?”
Everyone nodded in agreement to that question. This time, too, their tone of voice was different.
“With that power, you’ll be able to be placed at the top of your class during the placement test. That’s due next week, so train properly….”
“Instructor! Instructor! I have a question!”
The unfocused female cadet interrupted and asked.
It was a rude behavior, but he didn’t say anything because he knew her personality in advance.
“What is it?”
“I heard you injected the bloodworm into that green-haired saintess, but why her? There’s the princess right next to her.”
A girl who casually blurts out this topic and impertinent questions. It could have been annoying, but instead, she explained it without complaint.
“Princess Mirona is not suitable for seduction. She is so pure and righteous that it is highly unlikely she will cooperate with our plan.”
Rather, the princess Miro and the princess were more suited to be saints. Not only did they have good personalities, but they were also good enough for someone like Nevia to surpass.
That’s why Nebia was easier to tame than Miro.
“Unlike the princess, Nevia is just a person with a good face. It was because she was such a weak person that she could be easily swayed.”
“Aha~”
“And I have a friend I’d like to introduce to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another cadet walked in leisurely.
The brown-haired male cadet was a freshman named Marclay Lairt.
But unlike before, his pupils had turned red.
“I am a new recruit who will be working with you from now on. Let’s work together well in the future.”
“….”
Four people waving their hands as if to say goodbye.
It was a rude greeting that didn’t even contain sincerity, let alone a voice.
But MacRae didn’t even express his intention to say hello.
“Keuhihihihi!”
He just laughed in an unpleasant way, as if he was possessed by something.
“It’s been well renovated.”
Jason smiled with satisfaction at the sight.
The smile, dotted with ominousness, was like a writhing poisonous insect.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
