Episode 95. Is this true?
The other three, including me, froze at the golems’ explosive remark.
It was surprising from the moment when the golems, who had only been able to speak passively, suddenly began to speak with sincerity.
A more serious problem is that he said things that should not have been said with that tone.
“Oh my, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you correctly.”
“Hahahaha! Are you kidding me? There’s no way you guys would say something so ridiculous.”
At first, the two people let it go, thinking it was a slip of the tongue.
But those tin heads didn’t have an ounce of tact or flexibility.
-The ‘Newspaper Club Pervert’ cadet, who is the leader, led his fellow cadets and successfully completed the A-3 rank mission. Beep.
-The performance of the ‘Magic and Peanut’ cadets was also highly evaluated by the 1st star unit of the school. It is no exaggeration to say that the 1st year magic department’s best skills are no exaggeration. Beep.
Was that a compliment or a sarcastic remark? It was a remark that was like pouring oil on a fire when water was not enough.
First of all, I wanted to shut those cans’ mouths, but… it was already too late.
Kwakjik!-
thud!-
One side had its balls blown off by Trisha’s heel kick, and the other side was flattened by the stamp of the spirit Mary had summoned.
And then he speaks calmly as if it were nothing.
“After all, humans are the best, rather than strange-looking artificial spirits or something. I should go to the information department and ask.”
“Of course. After all, these people’s cognitive abilities are so low that they can’t even match their magical power.”
The two men who had destroyed the golem leisurely walked to the information department.
It really seemed like they all had no idea what their problem was.
`I feel sorry for the golem for no reason.`
Putting aside the two’s problems, the sight of the broken golems seemed a bit odd.
The greeting after the mission is the same as in the main story, but it’s not so bad that you have to spit out such foul language.
The guys will rebel a week from now. They will remain quiet until then, but they will cause trouble when most of the board members are out of the academy.
‘That doesn’t mean they’re not foul-mouthed, though.’
If there was a habit of hitting on other people’s weak points a little while ago, it still exists in the main story.
It’s not that it’s not highlighted, but it’s because they use all kinds of factual violence to grind up Principal Heidern’s mentality like a blender.
Heidern, who was mentally abused by Mosria, becomes a useless person who can’t do anything.
Even though the faculty and staff are suffering, they just sit there and do not move, which eventually becomes the trigger for the dismissal of the vice principal at the end of the second semester.
The artificial spirit that is the leader of the golems is set to become more rebellious and violent as time passes.
It becomes more and more intense and gradually swells to the point where it is wielding weapons against humans.
But since you can’t hold a weapon here, I don’t know if you can open your mouth here, but at least it will be mild compared to the main story where there are many casualties and injuries.
‘It’s easier to fight after winning first.’
I’ve cleared all levels of difficulty in games, but when it comes to reality, I have to take the easy way out.
The reason is simple: you can’t save here.
Since you only have one life and you can’t go back to the previous chapter, it would be better to completely eliminate the golems’ violence.
`Should we also take a look at that vice principal? He’s planning on causing a ruckus during the vice principal dismissal motion.`
Heidern, whose life has been completely denied, attempts to destroy the Academy to fill his desolate mind.
By sacrificing one of the most talented cadets, the magical power of the Millennium Tiger sleeping within the veins goes wild. And the cadet who is kidnapped is…
-‘Magic and Peanuts’ cadet… This is clearly assault… Beep.
The golem that had been crippled started to writhe like an earthworm and then stopped functioning.
* * * * *
Jenny and Ruska took the lead in clearing away the two broken golems. The golems’ broken bodies were to be disposed of at the scrapyard located in the living quarters.
“Wow… It really is so broken.”
“I know.”
Jenny and Ruska arrived at the scrap yard and sighed.
This was because there were piles of other golems there, along with the golems they had brought.
While I was out on a mission, countless golems were scratching at people’s insides and urging me to take my order.
Just like the verbal abuse you gave to Senior Mary and Trisha a little while ago, were golems really that insensitive in their speech?
“If… if.”
“what?”
“What if they suddenly get emotional and try to get revenge on us?”
Jenny swallowed dryly as she proposed an ominous hypothesis.
Isn’t it an expression of hatred towards the humans who have so miserably destroyed them?
Ruska said about it, holding her breath.
“Even if that actually happens, can we protest? We’re the ones who play with it to our heart’s content and then throw it away and waste it. If we manage it this way, they could probably start a rebellion. Of course, that is if they have the will to do so.”
It was fortunate that I had no will.
It’s a good thing they’re just moving tools, but if they were sentient creatures, it would be a real pain in the ass.
“That won’t really happen, right?”
“You idiot. If they had existed, they would have marched toward us with weapons and flags, shouting for revolution, a long time ago. Let’s stop thinking such nonsense and go see Professor Radian.”
“Yeah, I’ll be waiting.”
Jenny and Ruska headed to the faculty building to inform their professor that they were returning to their mission.
The moment they turned their backs… the eyes of one of the golems piled up one by one glowed with an eerie red light.
“…!!”
Ruska suddenly turns her head with her eyes wide open.
Thanks to the intuition of the Yoho tribe, I could vaguely feel an eerie atmosphere for a moment.
“what’s the matter?”
Jenny tilted her head as if she felt nothing.
I definitely felt an unusual vibe, but now I don’t feel anything.
Did I feel wrong?
“…It’s nothing.”
Perhaps she was being too sensitive. Ruska turned her head away again, thinking that it was nothing serious.
By the time they left, the sun had set and the sky was getting dark.
The golem mass was darkened by the shadows, but a soft red light was flickering within it.
* * * * *
The Dantia Hall, built on the highest hill in Alighieri.
The principal’s office was located on a middle floor, neither too high nor too low, in that building.
It has been eight years since Heidern joined Alighieri, a company with a long history.
He was recommended for the position after his teacher recognized his great talent.
Elder Enviel, who has always been Heidern’s guide and adoptive father in life.
I still can’t believe he really was a devil worshipper.
Even though a long time had passed since that incident, I couldn’t shake it off. My teacher and father, who were everything in my life.
I wanted to see him again.
“Why on earth is that, Master? If you were truly a demon-worshiper, then what was I?”
I wanted to meet him again and confirm his sincerity.
Was the Master really a bad person, and if so, why did he reject him?
Or maybe after harvesting, he went down a dark path and kept it a secret from himself.
While various hypotheses were being exchanged, one of the golems that was helping with organizing documents and chores spoke.
-Beep. The cadet’s return has been confirmed.
“Are most of the cadets who went on missions back now?”
C-rank and B-rank missions are easy, so most of them return early.
The period never exceeded a week, but A-rank is a different story.
It’s a mission that requires the skill of a mercenary or adventurer, so it takes over a week.
If you are unlucky, the period will be extended to one month, so if you are not an excellent student, you cannot go.
“There won’t be any more C-rank or B-rank groups to return to, so is it A-rank today?
– Group A-3. Leader Trisha Marelin, Jenny Chainsilver, Ruska Mad-Eye, Mary Ludsiel, and Radon Crowler.
“Ahh… It’s them.”
Mary, a first-year magic cadet, was versatile in every way.
Even Master Enviel acknowledged that he was a genius among geniuses, and the White Horse Tower directly asked Heidern to keep an eye on Mary Ludsiel.
Mary is still being watched directly by Heidern.
She once defended him wholeheartedly when he accidentally shaved half of the principal’s head, and she didn’t just sit by and do nothing when he caused another accident.
Although it was a lot of work, it was worth it for Cadet Mary.
Because, in addition to his genius talent, Heidern knows ‘another secret’.
-The one who played a crucial role in this mission was said to be Cadet Radon Crowler. This is the testimony of the Commander of the First Star Group. Beep.
“Radon Crowler?”
I wondered who it was, and it turned out to be the combat cadet who had been promoted to Class A a while ago. I think the first time I saw him was when I called him over for the practical exam at the beginning of the first semester.
At that time, I thought he was just an odd student who swung a fishing rod, but after seeing the test at the beginning of this second semester, my thoughts changed drastically.
“I’m sure I wasn’t seeing things wrong back then.”
I watched the match between Radon Crowler and Kent Easyst from start to finish.
There is no doubt about his skills as he won in the end without being pushed back at all by the Kent cadets.
However, there was something else that surprised Heidern…
‘That is definitely the master’s swordsmanship…!’
A technique that infuses lightning magic into a sword while also turning the blade black with special properties, creating ‘black lightning’.
It was a technique that Enviel had shown only to his disciples, including Hytern, long ago.
I looked through the archives several times after the exam, and it was correct.
‘Is it just a coincidence?’
Was it because I was observing too intently? Or was it because I lost the object of my favor?
I began to see a resemblance to my master in that Radon Crowler.
At first, I didn’t have any particular feelings for the cadet, but as time passed, I became curious and looked into some information about him.
`Name: Radon Crowler, family is currently in decline, the location of his original home is unknown, he is an unfortunate boy who entered the academy for fear of losing his family and being targeted by spies.`
Heidern felt a sense of loneliness at having lost his home and having nowhere to go. Heidern’s noble family had also been destroyed.
Although they were sent to an orphanage, it was actually a criminal organization disguised as a welfare facility.
They brainwash children and sell them into battle to be used as meat shields.
To prevent the children from running away, they had a spell tattooed on their bodies that made them feel pain if they tried to climb over the fence.
Even if you endure such harsh abuse, all that awaits you is being driven into the battlefield and reduced to a meat shield.
The Master appeared before Heidern, who had no dreams or hopes.
`I had a teacher, but Radon Crowler… I wonder if this kid will be safe after graduation.`
For some reason, I felt sympathy.
He did not want a child who had lost his home to go down a bad path, so he sponsored many other orphanages.
He also wanted to become a beacon of hope for underprivileged children, just like Master Envyel, who had saved him.
but…
-Put away your useless fantasies. Beep…
“huh?”
The golem spoke. The unusual tone of voice made me feel incredibly awkward.
“W-what did you just say…?”
Heidern doubts his ears, wondering if he heard wrong.
The golem’s insulting remarks, which he would never spit out, were strange enough, but what was even stranger was the way he spoke.
-Beep… Throw away those ridiculous illusions, Heidern.
Heidern’s eyes grew wide.
It was something that the golem, who was polite to everyone and helped with the bachelor’s work, would never say.
Of course, sometimes there are comments that make fun of users or point out reality without flexibility.
Some took it as a light-hearted joke, but there were also cases where they got angry and destroyed the golem, and most cadets fell into the latter category.
Thanks to this, there are more than a few golems that have been destroyed by the cadets.
If you go to a scrapyard right now, you can see a pile of golems.
There were so many of them that a proposal was made asking why they were using golems.
Of course, it’s a golem, and it’s being endlessly created and produced by the Archive Control Agency.
There is no need to worry about shortage of supplies.
But no matter how much the guys joked, they never came out so directly.
-We’ve been destroyed too much. It’s your turn now, Human.
The golem’s eyes were flashing red as he spoke with open hostility.
Kwakjik!-
But Heidern quickly raised his staff and destroyed the golem with a magic bullet.
“You’ve been causing trouble recently, and now it looks like you’ve got a problem out in the open.”
I can’t wait until dawn tomorrow to finish work because I need to investigate the artificial spirit right away.
Although he is the only board member left within the Academy, he has no choice but to resolve the issue on his own.
It was a moment where I held my breath.
-I can’t stand it anymore. I’m going to bring forward the plan that was supposed to be a week later. Human.
“What is that…!”
Metal began to rise from the floor and combine with each other to form a golem.
In an instant, the golems multiplied and filled the communion room.
Apparently, golem manufacturing only takes place in the Archive Control Agency in the Underground of the Bachelor.
Even though this is the seat of the highest academic power, it is impossible for something like that to happen automatically.
-It’s your turn now, Human.
All the golems assigned to the bachelor’s camp spit out the same words.
Then, a green light appeared and engulfed the entire academy.
* * * * *
Luckily tomorrow is the weekend so I can go to bed with peace of mind.
Ruska, in the bed across from me, has also been asleep for a long time with the curtain drawn over her head.
After finishing the mission, I’m tired so I can stretch out and rest over the weekend.
`The thing that bothers me is that guy, the main character, hasn’t come back yet.`
I reported to Professor Radian today and was praised. It would be disappointing if he didn’t come out after successfully completing a difficult mission.
Of course, he joked that the difficulty level that was easily modified was incredibly difficult. In addition, Radian was on duty tonight, so the atmosphere at night was quiet.
It was supposed to be noisy because it was Friday night, but because of Radian’s tiger-like wit, everyone hid in the dorm like rats.
It would be fun to let a tiger loose among the arrogant leopards.
‘Then good night.’
ZZZ…
ZZZ…
ZZZ…
ZZZ…
ZZZ…
ZZZ…
“Really money…”
Is it morning already?
Someone is trying to wake me up by shaking me repeatedly.
“Radon, uh…n..“
I can’t hear you very well because I’m half-asleep.
I couldn’t see who it was because my vision hadn’t returned yet.
But because he kept shaking me roughly, I started to feel annoyed while coming to my senses.
“You idiot! Get up now!”
“Surprise!”
It was Ruska who woke me up by yelling in my ear.
Even though he was my roommate, I couldn’t help but get angry at him for waking me up in such a rude way.
This is the equivalent of waking someone up on night watch by shining a flashlight in their eye.
“What is it… Huh?”
But as soon as my vision returned, I was speechless.
Because when I woke up, I wasn’t in the dorm, but inside a huge temple.
I could immediately understand why Ruska had woken me up so hastily.
“Is this true…?”
I was astonished to find out where this place was after just a little wandering around.
Because it was a subspace created by Mosria that recreated the era 300 years ago, before this Alighieri Town was built.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
