Surviving as a Con Artist at the Academy Chapter 211

Episode 211. What is he saying now?

Before the magic banquet began, Ruska had a dream.

One night when the full moon was out, something unfolded in her consciousness as she was sleeping comfortably.

It was a memory so real that it was hard to dismiss it as a simple dream.

The people who appeared in my dream were King Talema, who I once considered my enemy. And my younger sister and friends, who I can say are the reason for my current life.

The story is about a younger sister, Angela, who suddenly falls from the sky, and a friend, Radon, whose body turns to sand and disappears.

From Ruska’s perspective, it was a nightmare no matter what anyone said.

Above all, it was perfect because Talema appeared.

`That wasn’t just a simple nightmare either.`

Because of the sense of incongruity I felt in the dream, I wondered if it might be a precognitive dream.

At first I thought it was a lie, but I was able to confirm it after hearing the story from the spirit king that Radon brought.

That means the precognitive dream was correct.

‘We have to stop it immediately.’

At that time, my whole body was cold.

I felt like all my bones were frozen with alertness.

Angela falls to her death and Radon turns to sand and dies.

To avoid that precognitive dream, Ruska did not have a single day off.

Everyone felt threatened by the information the Spirit King gave them, but Ruska rolled over the most to avoid the crisis.

– On the fifth day of the Magic Banquet, corpses will appear. The leader is a man who was once the king of Papyas. And another one is…

The former king of Papyrus.

Just hearing those words made Ruska half lose her mind.

Since then, I have been training my body without rest.

In order to prepare for the decisive battle that would take place on the 5th day, the shortcut was to utilize one’s own special skills.

Starting with training to withstand Jenny’s freezing attacks, he even immersed himself in the Purgatory Volcano.

Even though the conditions were difficult for a human to stand in, Ruska held out for several days.

`Oh, I almost forgot that.`

When I was training to strengthen my body, all my senses were always heightened.

Every time that happened, a vision began to appear before my eyes.

But I already knew that it was just an inch away.

The ability to see the future and a strengthened body.

If you receive the power of the full moon there, you will be able to explosively increase all your talents.

`But…`

In fact, the ability to see the future was not perfect.

I felt dizzy every time I used it, and when I first had a precognitive dream, I couldn’t see any details.

I don’t know about anything else, but the dizziness was the biggest problem.

I was able to cover it up to some extent by using a new device, but the moment I released it, all the dizziness that had been building up came rushing back at me.

I had the feeling in my head that a dam was bursting because it couldn’t handle the accumulated water.

`But there is no limit to the Shinsuhwa as long as the full moon rises.`

In a state of transcending limits, you will not experience dizziness.

If it was a full moon, I was relieved because the spirit king himself could provide it.

I must stop that precognitive dream by any means necessary.

Kill Talema, who returned from hell.

Protecting the only hopes of life.

“No… Nooooooooooooooo!! Ruska… You bitch!!”

And now, we’ve achieved it all.

If I hadn’t been fully prepared, I probably would have been knocked out after a few hits.

Although they were mortal enemies, Talema was a formidable opponent.

`But the prophetic dream came true.`

Angela fell just as in her dream.

However, there was no problem because Professor Radian accepted it from below.

And radon was also turning into sand.

“No…!! I can’t die like this! I can’t die like this!!”

Talema, disguised as Radon, was screaming at the end.

His body was gradually turning into granules and disappearing.

It matched the composition I saw in my dream.

“I… I’m a man who will soon reach the top of the world! I remember… I remember! The silver-haired girl who crushed me at the magic banquet back in school!”

The Radon I saw in my dream was actually Talema.

Relieved by that fact, Ruska smiled.

however…

“I’ll kill them all! Everyone who stands in my way must die! I’m the strongest! I’m the strongest!!”

I didn’t like the fact that he kept making nonsense and babbling that didn’t even make sense in the form of Radon.

“You guys who rebel against me… you all must die!!”

Even as she disappears, Talema shows madness and obsession.

A furious Ruska trampled on him and said:

“Kill me once.”

Ruska opened her mouth coldly. Upon hearing those words, Talema moved her arms with fire in her eyes.

“Yeah, you too… Huh?”

But both arms were gone.

One arm was amputated, and the remaining arm was disappearing into sand.

The same was true for the legs.

No magical power comes out of the body.

There was no such thing as a means of killing.

“What are you doing? I told you to kill me.”

“Ahhh… Aahhhh!!”

Talema, who had only the upper body left, suddenly burst into tears.

“Please! Please acknowledge me! I want you to acknowledge my talent!!”

Now he started begging strangely and throwing tantrums like a kindergartener.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ruska turned her back on Talema.

He doesn’t know what kind of life he’s lived. He probably has a bad past, but he’ll be okay.

But what do you want me to do?

“Please me…”

Talema, who was called the worst monarch of the Papyrus, has finally disappeared.

His grains were scattered and scattered in the wind.

There was not a single will left by him.

“It’s all over.”

After ending the bad relationship, Ruska looked at the moonlit night and prayed inwardly.

I hope that my mother in heaven’s foolishness will be alleviated even a little.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“you also.”

And Ruska sat next to the real Radon.

Exhausted, his fox ears and nine tails drooped.

Of course, Radon was also covered in wounds.

“That doesn’t mean the situation is completely over though.”

Civil war was still raging throughout the town.

Thanks to the counter to Diablo Lane, our people regained their fighting spirit, but enemies continued to appear one after another.

Although there were big names blocking external enemies, there were also quite a few who did not.

“Who the hell brought those guys to the festival?”

“Who are they? His Majesty the Emperor and his children.”

“Is he a saint?”

“What I’m saying is.”

Originally, there were many forces hostile to Alighieri.

Even if the royal family is caught up in the controversy of this incident, they can be revived by gaining their full support.

There are elves and beastmen in the village.

And from the rear towards the sea, dark spirits were swarming.

“What should I do? I don’t have the strength to stand up anymore.”

“Me too.”

As of now, the two of us could not fight.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they didn’t have the power to stop the enemy.

“Let’s leave the rest to Princess Mary and Princess Mirona.”

“The princess is okay, but is Mary okay?”

Well, it may not be attractive because it has a lot of eccentric aspects…

“But he’s the kind of person who does it when he has to.”

Ruska quickly agreed after hearing that.

Because I had previously worked on a mission with Mary.

“So is our turn over?”

“Are you sad?”

“It’s not like that in particular…”

Ruska sighed, feeling like she had been pushed down to a supporting role with less screen time.

The moonlit night was truly beautiful, but it was a shame that there was nothing more to be done.

Radon, who read her expression, took something out of his arms.

“Do you know what this is?”

“huh?”

It was a piece of paper with blue flames on it that I had taken from Talema.

Oddly enough, it wasn’t hot at all when I touched it with my bare hands, and the paper didn’t turn to ash.

It was not a flame with the property of burning.

Radon explained what it was.

“It’s the Eternal Flame.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s on the seal of the Alighieri diploma.”

“I came to this academy to get this.”

When asked why, Radon smiled and said,

“You told me then. You wanted to know a secret about me.”

That day, I woke up feeling anxious because of a precognitive dream.

Jenny seemed to know about Radon’s unfortunate circumstances, but Ruska himself did not.

That was so sad. But that sadness was relieved tonight.

“Have you heard of the Liar’s Curse?”

I could hear everything from Radon.

Why he acts as a scammer.

And what curse was placed on the Crowler family?

Only after hearing that explanation did everything make sense to Ruska.

“Then why do your family members make strange noises all the time…”

“It’s all because of that curse.”

“haha…”

However, information about the curse can never be spit out.

It is said that in order to ignore this, you absolutely need the Eternal Flame in your hand.

When Ruska heard that information, she let out a silent scream.

“Jenny was the first to notice it because the diploma was in the Chainsilver mansion.”

“Then I’m second?”

“yes.”

Although it wasn’t the first, it wasn’t a bad feeling.

Because he had to share a secret that only Radon knew.

Slurp-

The blazing flame soon died down.

It seemed as if the effect had completely worn off as I was telling the truth.

“The lights are out? Are there any more?”

“I searched the other bodies, but they were already gone.”

After all, I had no choice but to graduate and get the seal.

At that moment, Ruska felt weak and leaned on Radon’s shoulder.

As the fox ears and nine tails gradually disappeared, dizziness set in.

“Wait, can I lie down next to you?”

Maybe I saw too much of the future while fighting a little while ago.

It was the worst dizziness I’ve ever experienced.

Now I didn’t even have the strength to stand.

“Thank you for your hard work. Get some rest.”

Radon stroked her head and made her sleepy.

Thanks to that, Ruska was able to fall asleep with a pleasant expression even though she had a headache.

“Hmmmm…”

Ruska, who usually had eyes like a beast.

But with her eyes closed under the moon, she looked like a noble and hazy girl.

“mom…”

Ruska’s sleepy voice could be heard as she fell asleep, leaning on the boy’s shoulder.

* * * * *

“mom…”

“I’m not a mother.”

It was no use telling Ruska, who was already asleep.

I adjusted Ruska’s crooked brown muffler to fit her well.

He was always the kind of kid who would walk around with his eyes wide open, but looking at him like this, he looked just stupid and not much different from Jenny.

`It’s not particularly new, though.`

My whole body ached from the effects of the battle I had just had.

Right now, I didn’t have the energy to call Aisha and Muto.

“Come to think of it, it was even bleeding.”

Suddenly I touched my head and there was blood on it.

I didn’t realize when it had flowed, but I took out Man-young’s raindrops and applied them to the wounded area.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve taken this out.”

Just one drop healed the wound to some extent.

This time, he dropped it on Ruska’s wound and passed it into her mouth.

“Yum yum yum… Hehehehe…”

Ruska’s expression became bright as if she had eaten something delicious.

I almost laughed because it felt like I was watching a real toddler.

That was when.

[The power of the demon is manifested within the body.]

[All abilities increase dramatically.]

[The duration is 24 hours.]

“The time has finally come.”

A body that was tired suddenly feels full of strength.

The 30% of the power I had received from Lyman had finally awakened within my body.

`It happened really quickly.`

Several days have passed since Lyman infused me with his powers in the hidden space beneath Alighieri.

I couldn’t apply that transcendent power immediately after receiving it.

If I had applied it without a countermeasure, my body would not have been able to withstand the power of Lyman’s machine.

‘It probably popped like a balloon.’

The power of that demon is not compatible with the human body.

I waited a few days without applying it to allow it to adapt to my body.

Now I’ve released my power.

I laid the sleeping Ruska down in a comfortable place.

And then he stood up from his seat and moved towards the next plan.

`But that doesn’t mean we can just wipe out the enemy with this power.`

I am currently a student at Alighieri.

It’s obvious that there will be many people who will ask where the demon lord got such power.

Then, negative public opinion towards Alighieri will only increase, bringing us closer to a bad ending.

`But you don’t have to do it `like this`.`

As I had done before, I tried to use my skills to change my appearance.

That was when.

Gugugugu!-

A loud noise was heard from somewhere in the village.

I looked up as a huge shadow fell over the village.

There was a giant battle robot standing proudly in the center of Alighieri Town.

`What is it?`

Why the sudden genre deviation?

… I thought so, but it turned out to be made up of numerous golems gathered together.

Although it is a type of golem, which is a fantasy element, it still causes genre confusion.

There is only one person in Alighieri who uses golem style to that extent.

Atop what appeared to be the Golem’s cockpit was a Bayman Dreadnought.

and…

`Huh?`

Amy, why is he there?

My sister was asleep in the seat next to me in the bay.

What the hell is that situation!

Kwakwang!-

Cookies, cookies, cookies! –

A slew of magical baptisms poured down on the giant golem.

But the unmoving golem swung its huge arms at the wizards who had fired their magic.

The enemies fled under the pressure that felt like a building was falling from the sky.

And from on high came Bayman’s cry.

“I will protect my love!!!!”

What is he saying now?
