Episode 226. The Best Time (3)
Workers were working diligently to restore the destroyed village.
Most of the village was reduced to ashes due to the sudden terrorist attacks by the water people and elves, and there were quite a few casualties due to the Vladimira School.
The severity of this situation was extraordinary, as the town was home to wealthy people and nobles from all over the empire.
The principal and other board members were busy calming down the angry citizens and nobles.
Although they didn’t completely calm down, they didn’t scream or raise their voices in anger.
Thanks to the quick response of the faculty and staff, there were no casualties because they risked their lives to protect themselves.
I respect the opinions of the students as I have received a favor from them.
Under the night sky with a full moon.
People’s anger has subsided somewhat, but the incident is not yet completely resolved.
People spent the night in Alighieri Town as the aftermath of this incident was still being dealt with.
Since the incident itself occurred in Alighieri, there were often people who blamed Alighieri.
But there were plenty of elements in Alighieri’s defense that would silence their opinions.
The demon king in the guise of an emperor, who is bound and under hypnosis.
The mastermind behind this incident.
The moment the morning dawned, discussions about what to do with him began.
* * * * *
Jack-
The full moon sets and the sun begins to rise over the horizon.
As the sunlight slowly rose, birds began to chirp and people began to wake up, squinting their eyes.
After they woke up, the village was still under construction.
A clear view of numerous artificial golems carrying all sorts of equipment and luggage to repair the village was presented.
The view was clear from the hill in Bachelor’s Square where I was standing.
“So… what is that…”
There were a lot of people gathered here now.
At least everyone I knew was there, if not as many as the people discussing the aftermath of the town’s siege.
Among them, Professor Radian was blinking his eyes in surprise.
“Are you saying that the reason you’ve been a fraud up until now… is all because of the curse?”
Now I can talk about Liar’s hesitation.
It was because I was now somewhat freed from the curse thanks to the two saints who each held my hands.
This is what happened the moment I made contact with her after talking to Nevia last night.
That is why I did not miss this great opportunity and invited everyone here.
Although I couldn’t call the board members, I was able to call my friends and seniors, including the professor in charge.
“The Liar’s Curse…?”
Trisha, the newspaper editor, muttered.
“If I don’t lie, I’ll die?”
Professor Stella Yang was very surprised to hear the story so far.
“You’re not alone, your family is all there”
“Is the entire family under the same curse?”
“So that’s why the family fell.”
“That’s right.”
Krona, the daughter of the Delaware lord, Kent, the second-year representative, Markray, the head of the art club, and Bayman, the second-year alchemy major, also recite one or two songs.
“So that’s why you became a liar.”
Mary opens her eyes wide and responds with understanding.
And my mother, father, and younger sister next to me also had expressions of emotion.
I finally felt liberated from the life of persecution I had been living under the Liar’s curse.
However, I haven’t found a way to get rid of the curse itself, but at least I wonder if there’s a way to escape from the silent treatment.
“Radon, I think I finally understand why you joined our newspaper club.”
Once you get into the newspaper department, you can write exaggerated advertisements at any time.
Trisha quickly understood how it structured itself around the Liar’s Curse.
Everyone else sitting there had a similar reaction.
If the reason I’ve been living as a lying, troublemaking bastard up until now is because of a curse, then I can understand.
“So, you enrolled Radon in this academy to find a clue to lift the curse?”
“Yes, because that clue required a rare flame called the Eternal Flame.”
Certainly, if there were an Eternal Flame, it would be possible to avoid being silenced as is now the case.
But that alone doesn’t necessarily lift the curse.
There are several other ingredients that are needed. I had heard from Shaikhar what they were.
“To be precise, we would need the archive itself.”
The archives that exist in Alighieri are the result of research created by the great sage Dantia, and were constructed by her successors through their interpretation of that research.
It is currently used for convenience functions such as student ID cards and as the ego of artificial golems, but it also boasts endless other uses.
Even in the main story, the Archive is used to nullify Machia’s reincarnation privilege or to lift the curse placed on Mirona.
So I could quickly understand that the method of removing Liar’s curse and removing Machia’s reincarnation privilege were almost the same.
“You’re not thinking of sneaking into the academy like a thief and stealing it, are you?”
“That’s possible. I was planning on finishing my third year with pride and receiving a graduation certificate.”
When Professor Radian asked cautiously, I answered with a hollow laugh.
These days, there are so many people targeting archives that it seems like professors are becoming more sensitive.
“What can you do if you don’t even know how to steal it in the first place?”
“Well, only the principals know how to get it out.”
The past principals of Alighieri are descendants of those who have trusted Dantia and the Millennium Tiger for 300 years.
Because they inherited Dantia’s will, they are the ones who have taken on most of her research and have protected it until now, no matter what the situation.
However, Demora, who was the former principal, is an exception.
Because he was merely a temporary measure brought in when the education system changed due to the sudden outbreak of the Demonic Clan War.
So, even though I knew how to take out the Eternal Flame thanks to the information I roughly received, I didn’t know how to contact the main body of the archive.
And when peace comes, he changes his profession because he feels it doesn’t suit him.
Stepping into Doomsday at the sudden invitation of Enviel.
That was the reason why he couldn’t take out the archives other than by touching the barrier even though he was the former headmaster.
“So, in the end, does that mean I have to hold out until I graduate?”
“There’s nothing I can do. Will asking the principal really solve the problem?”
The main body of the archive cannot be viewed by anyone except on the day of the graduation ceremony.
In the main story, it is very difficult to open it because Principal Keiten is killed by Enviel followers.
There, you can see the main character Lyman racking his brain while reminiscing about his past.
Of course, such a shocking development will never happen.
Machia was completely subdued, and thanks to Enviel Cosplay’s efforts, her followers became as docile as dogs.
Not only did Chapter 5 end so easily, but Maquia, who triggered the events of the next and final chapter, is currently unable to act.
Now, I just need to leisurely finish my undergraduate life by the time I graduate from my third year.
`As expected, Easy Mode knows the answer!`
However, that does not mean that all of the main story’s events have ended.
Because the curse that still remains on Mirona must be lifted.
If you solve that, Lyman will be able to completely abandon the bad ending route and reach the true ending.
`The main character dies in the main story, but I wonder what will happen here…`
300 years ago, she lived as a girl named ‘Maya’, but died before Lyman’s eyes due to a curse.
And although you are given a total of 5 chances to reincarnate, in reality, it is just a wishful thinking.
All five lives ended in the same death when a certain period of time was reached.
To lift the curse and cancel Machia’s privilege, Lyman sacrifices his soul.
“By the way, where are Lyman and the princess?”
“If it’s the princess, she’ll be discussing it with the citizens. And I think I saw Lyman there too.”
I had a bad feeling about Radian’s answer.
Mirona is also a descendant of Emperor Carmine.
When you think about the Emperor’s actions in attempting to destroy the continent, you will surely feel resentment towards Princess Mirona.
If anything, it is highly likely that the nobles, blinded by imperial power, will insist that she be hung on the gallows.
But since our protagonist is by our side, no one will be able to say anything.
Now that time has passed, the 30% of Lyman’s power granted to me has returned to its owner.
Touching Mirona would mean the destruction of the continent.
“But radon, is that erosion rate still accumulating?”
At Stella’s question, I checked the window.
He immediately straightened up.
<`Curse of the Liar` Erosion Rate - 47/100>
`Fuck`
I clearly saw the erosion rate decrease to the maximum while transforming into Envyl and talking loudly yesterday.
If there were negative numbers, it would be possible to live your entire life without ever having to lie.
But unfortunately, this damn curse didn’t have any such comfortable features.
It’s like a burst water pipe, no matter how much you try to stop it with your hand, it just keeps pouring out.
“I guess I’ll have to lie first. In a situation like this, no one would read a newspaper or a novel like mine.”
It was the same for my family here.
They will be restless because they don’t know how high the erosion rate has risen.
“Uh… Then do you want to try it on me?”
Jenny, who was listening to the story, smiled brightly and said.
It didn’t look all that good because it was like saying he would become a punching bag while smiling.
“Then try it for me.”
“To me too.”
Then, Ruska and Angela also proudly give their permission.
In that part, I felt an ominous feeling inside.
“Are you really sure you won’t get angry?”
“of course.”
“of course!”
This isn’t like, ‘Of course’ or anything.
While I was feeling anxious, it was my younger sister Amy who spoke first.
“You guys are ugly.”
“…!!”
“…!”
Silence fell on the bombshell statement that made people lose their fear.
Jenny and Ruska almost exploded with anger for a moment, but they held back and remained calm.
“And…”
Phuong-
Amy continued her lies as she transformed into a muscular figure.
“I’m actually a guy.”
“Phu-phu!”
“Poohahaha!”
Everyone burst into laughter at the words that came out like that.
Among them, Bayman alone shouted loudly, “Our Amy is the best!” Although I don’t know what is the best about that muscle monster.
Next it was mother and father’s turn.
“Are you two professors dating? If so, I think it would be better for you to break up.”
“yes…?”
“You two are not a good match. Especially Professor Stella, don’t you know that gorillas can’t marry their relatives?”
“….”
The two of them were no less difficult.
Is this the power of those skilled at telling lies solely through verbal skills?
Yeah, it’s a lie. It’s all a lie.
The faces of the two professors who understood and endured it were reflected.
Somehow, I had a feeling that if I just stayed still, I would fall behind.
“Jenny, you have a ghostly face.”
“…what?”
“Put on some heavy makeup and look in the mirror. Then the world’s creepiest ghost will peek out right in front of you.”
Jenny suddenly made a dumbfounded expression.
“Ruska, you may think you’re mature, but you’re actually very childish. You have such a pink heart.”
“….”
“What should I say? Should I just call him a neighborhood kid who brags about things in the back alleys?”
Jenny made the same expression.
[Erosion rate reduction: -60%]
[+6000 Credits]
The more this happens, the sweeter the erosion rate decreases.
I continued to lie with that momentum.
Most of the comments focus on the fact that he is ugly, but that’s nonsense.
This is because there is nothing wrong with their appearance, as they are obviously beautiful girls.
“And… and by the way.”
Lies keep coming out one after another.
Before I knew it, my mouth was running wild and so many lies came out that I couldn’t control them.
Maybe that’s why. Now I’m so tired that I can’t move my mouth.
More than that, my body didn’t move.
Why is that?
“I think this will be a good place to start.”
“Yeah, I listened to you as much as I could.”
Jenny and Ruska speak to me with bright smiles.
Judging from the smile, it seemed like she had endured my lie.
“But why does it feel so refreshing?”
“Hahaha, really? We were the ones being teased, why on earth?”
Jenny and Ruska question how they endured it.
But they were ultimately shocked.
Because they had blood on one hand and in the other hand, they were holding me by the collar, beaten to death and turned to dust.
“Eek! Radon!”
“Hey, what’s happening all of a sudden!”
The two were greatly embarrassed and floundered.
They seemed to have no recollection of what had happened in the meantime.
`You guys did it.`
* * * * *
A scene was seen of students, professors, and parents joking around.
There’s a saying that it looks warm from afar, but is painful when seen up close.
A male student was being beaten by two girls who had lost their minds, while parents and teachers were laughing and exchanging bloody jokes.
‘Why…’
Grisha, the lord of the tower and number 4 of Doomsday, secretly observed the happy atmosphere.
He was able to find traces of Aisha that he had been looking for.
I feel it from that boy who was beaten so hard he turned into a blood clot.
`Why…!`
And there was another person who attracted attention.
One of the parents, Scylla Crowler. Grisha’s eyes began to grow bloodshot at the thought of her being alive.
`My daughter is dead… why are you…`
He disappeared from the scene, his expression distorted with anger.
Only a cold, bitter wind remained there.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
