peaceful weekend.

“…I’m really going to die.”

I complained of muscle aches in bed when everyone was relaxing.

I take a break every day following Akasa’s words that I’m not in the stage to overwork my body yet, but it was hard as it was.

His body began to ache to recover, and the pain he had endured in the process came out mercilessly and he complained of injustice.

He said it wasn’t the size he could tolerate, and his molars were about to be ripped apart by the pain that seemed to tear his entire body to pieces.

‘It’s the worst.’

Even after repeating it for only 5 days, it reminds me of the years I spent in the anthill.

At times, it was so difficult that I thought of giving up on everything and living alone while farming.

After eating a hearty breakfast, in the morning, he attends an affair class with magic, skips lunch and starts training right away.

With that momentum, he constantly overworks his body until evening, then eats Akasa’s special energy drink and starts training again until he goes to sleep.

It was a schedule that was only possible when a person was really full of the spirit of improvement.

The repetition of the life of sleeping, waking up, taking classes in the morning, recovering the body, pouring everything back in the afternoon, and sleeping like fainting.

If I hadn’t been able to get a weekend getaway, I might have gone crazy.

‘As a disciple of Akasa, this is really good.’

Mirinae Academy does not give permission to go out unless it is really special.

Moreover, it was even more so if it was a freshman who had just finished the first week of class.

Going out at a time when they were supposed to get used to the academy was something they should never have done.

‘That is the position of general professors.’

This is only superficial, but if you look closely, there were first-year students who often went out.

For example, if Crown Prince Velos of Skeria asks a professor who has a family in Skeria to go out.

He would have accepted Bellos’ request unconditionally by creating a reason why it didn’t exist.

It was an extreme example, but there were many cases where a first-year cadet could go outside like this.

In my case, I am a disciple of Akasa, so the only request I would ask was if she actively helped me to get the right to go out.

She was in a position to issue outing passes, and most of them would listen if they didn’t cross the line to encourage me.

Going outside was like lying down and eating rice cakes.

‘Let’s go.’

After lying in bed and resting for about six hours, my body recovered to the level of movement.

Surely the training was working or not, the muscles were gaining little by little within that short time.

Usually, if you do this much, your body will be ruined rather than growing, but it was definitely different even if something was different.

thud

thud

With every step you take, you hear the sound of something heavy hitting the floor.

I had no choice but to walk upright with a weight of at least 260 kg.

‘Now, let’s go make some money.’

money.

It is an essential element for living and the first condition necessary to set up equipment.

It had to be completed as soon as possible in preparation for the near disaster to come.

‘It is not enough to earn enough money for that.’

I thought about selling Woongbak’s head on the black market, but I gave up because it was too short-lived and there was a high possibility that the demons would find out.

I don’t know that I was the one who caught the low-level demons, but I’m sure I’ll keep chasing the traces, so it was better not to go to the black market.

‘Then what’s left.’

It didn’t matter as much of the cost of living was taken care of in Miri.

What was needed was a lump sum.

Clearing the dungeon was the easiest way to get such a pound of gold.

Creating a camouflage identity, then registering with the Adventurer’s Guild and working as a mercenary.

The problem was that even if he disguised himself, he had no achievements to prove his skills anyway, so he started from the bottom.

In that case, you might have had to struggle to raise your grade by doing some cleaning in the sewer for several months, let alone money.

‘Then there is nothing more than gambling.’

If there was no black market and no adventurer guild, all that was left was the casino.

Gambling is the only thing you can hide your identity and get into right away.

‘The camouflage ID card is really scarce, so after I buy one, I can wear thick clothes and put a beard on my face.’

In the case of gambling establishments, there is no thorough identification check.

Especially if it’s where I’m going in the future.

‘Shall we try Hantang?’

It was time to show the gamble of the deceased.

“Khahahaha! Business is doing so well these days!”

“That’s it.”

Bulging room.

The sound of loud laughter and the sound of bending your back and rubbing your palms echoed through the room.

Casino boss Festford rolled over on his money cushion, touching his big belly.

“That’s why it’s best to steal money from the rich.”

“That’s it, hehehehe.”

sweet dessert.

When I heard the name, it seemed like a sweet cafe, and in fact, there was a camouflage cafe on the first floor.

However, after going through a few special procedures here, the true form of sweet dessert is guided underground.

Although it was an illegal operation, a lot of people came in because of the fact that it was operated as a member system and the stake was very high.

“I think it’s genius. Thinking of running a membership system.”

“That’s right. Besides, I even thought of doing business in the tiger’s den rather by installing it near the academy, which is known for being the most secure!”

There is good security around Mirinae Academy.

Using this in reverse, Festford set up a gambling house just a short distance away from Mirinae Academy.

It could be said that he perfectly dug into the loophole of who would dare to set up an illegal gambling place near Mirinae.

Thanks to that daring, a lot of wealthy people came in, and Sweet Dessert continued to trend upward.

“Even if you say you are rich, you have no choice but to lose unless you have made money from gambling, and you don’t know that.”

“Doesn’t everyone believe in the success stories they’ve walked so far?”

either congenitally inherited or acquired successively.

Unless you made a lot of money from gambling, of course you had no choice but to lose to the dealer.

But the rich believed in their senses and patterns of success.

“Since it was so successful, I thought it would happen again this time, but it’s not!”

Festford delved into this very well.

The dealers were thoroughly educated on how to win big and lose little, and they themselves were carefully selected and selected, so it was a gambler itself.

Should I call it a talent of the shadows?

“The membership system can be seen as very crazy.”

“With a structure in which only those who have been certified inform the procedure, the perfect argument to let you know that those who passed the procedure are already certified! I was impressed!”

“Isn’t it design, not logic?”

“The term logic seems more difficult, so wouldn’t this be more appropriate?”

“Um, that’s right. The guy who came out of school is definitely different no matter what.”

“It’s all thanks to the graceful Festford-nim. Hahaha!”

Struit, who was actively flirting next to him, clapped and roared.

I didn’t do it for no reason, and it was possible because Festford gave me a big chunk of rice cake every time I hit a good match.

If it wasn’t for that, what reason would you have to stick around with a spit-and-smiling guy?

The world of the shadows had no affection and was only driven by business.

“Now it’s time to get crowded.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As I was wasting time laughing and talking and boasting about money, the clock was already pointing to one in the morning.

Due to the nature of the gambling hall, it was crowded from dawn, so Festford stopped being lazy and got dressed.

Since most of the guests were wealthy, they had to show their faces once in a while to please them.

Tips and alcohol for those who lost money.

It was his job to memorize cheers and clumsy winners’ prayers to those who won the money.

‘Well?’

As Festford put on his clothes and checked the inside of the gambling room, he noticed something different.

‘No screams?’

Usually, when those who are aiming for a lot of money bet a lot of money, after losing it, there is a scream.

It’s normal to hear screams of disappointment when you win with a small bet after being intimidated by a high dividend.

For some reason, I didn’t hear anything like that today.

Wow aa!!!

“what…?”

All you hear is cheers and the enthusiasm of victory.

This was not the picture Festford wanted.

He quickly rolled his eyes to find the cause of this situation, and he was finally able to find it.

‘That’s him.’

A slot machine, Lucky Triple Seven, installed to rob customers of even change.

There was a middle-aged man with a long beard stroking the slot.

Up to this point, it was the same as usual, but the result was different.

“7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7!”

“Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!”

Every time the man spins the slot, they all make the same sound like a fanatic.

ding!

As if in response to the sound, the slot machine was showing a side that he would never normally do.

Number 7 that stops first

ding!

Number 7 that stops second

“No no…”

ding!

Contrary to Festford’s heartbreaking cry.

The third stopping number is also 7.

“Re…jackpot…”

The first jackpot to open was hit.

“…Catch him right now.”

It was the first big deal for Sweet Dessert.
