Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 10

10 – Admission Success (2)

Tsumei thought.

Seeing through your true identity is surprising, but not impossible.

There are countless mysteries in this world.

There are also things that cannot be identified even with the power of a gold dragon.

There have been quite a few humans who have lived for thousands of years and have powers that would surprise even Tsumei.

Some humans have accumulated efforts only with human bodies, and have reached the realm of mythology.

In the present age, the swordsman was like that. He was one of the few superhumans that Tsumei treated as equal to himself.

Another human, in one particular field of magic, even surpassed the realm of a dragon.

Once called the Great Mage, he has now become a forgotten ancient figure…….

‘Assuming that this guy was born with a talent similar to them, it’s not nonsense.’

It doesn’t have to be force. Power is not limited to violence.

‘For example, the ability to read the opponent’s information through simple observation.’

It is a foolish idea.

However, since it is not impossible, it should be possible to consider it.

Tsumei’s eyes narrowed.

Yes. To say it over and over again, it didn’t matter at all that he noticed his true identity.

At first, it just bothered me, and it only aroused a little interest.

Crushing the disconnected space with pure ‘power’ was a completely different story.

After somehow resolving the incident at her entrance ceremony, the first thing Tsumei checked was the space where the boy had been thrown for a while.

The results were rather shocking.

A handful of teddy bears inside that have turned to ashes?

Of course, that was also sad, but there was something else more important.

It is understandable to some extent that the various household items inside were shattered.

They didn’t have any special powers in the first place.

It was only visible in Tsumei’s field of view.

As if it was forcibly torn apart by some irresistible ‘absolute force’, the scene where the magic that made up the space itself was broken.

It is impossible to even dare to attempt recovery.

I couldn’t tell from Tsumei. What kind of force, and in what form must be applied to produce this result?

It was confusing, and a ray of doubt slowly started to emerge.

Tsumei stared at the boy Dante in front of him with dimly shining eyes.

If you think about it with a little common sense, it’s a question you can’t help but think of.

What if this kid in front of me was really human?

And according to her appearance, at best, she’s about 20 years old.

…… He had to be unable to break the dragon’s sever space no matter what.

It’s normal when you can’t create a single crack, let alone cause permanent damage like now.

“Ha… ….”

Tsumei was dumbfounded again and let out a dejected laugh.

I am certain.

Reason was talking.

Don’t trust the boy in front of you. You shouldn’t trust fragmentary information that can be grasped on the surface.

If possible, it should be excluded.

If that’s impossible, you’ll need to keep it by your side and continue to closely monitor it.

I don’t know what kind of tendency he has.

Tsumei didn’t know for what purpose she wanted to enter this academy.

She only knows one thing.

The person named Dante is clearly an element of uncertainty.

That was all.

“…… Yes, you.”

So she asked a question.

I want to hear the answer, I want to know the identity.

“What are you doing? How.”

With a little bit of impatience, I hope that my eyes are not wrong.

*****

She felt that she had to answer well.

Tsumei didn’t throw out the words without thinking. If I talk nonsense here, they’ll probably judge me as dangerous right away.

‘I can’t do that.’

Tsumei was the owner of this academy.

Like it or not, the safest place in the world for me to live.

Ironically, it may be the most dangerous place, but anyway.

Right now, I am in a position where I have to sit down at this academy.

This means that the person who needs to be seen the best is Tsumei.

It means that if you look bad, you can go to the goal with one breath.

‘I can’t help it.’

Decisions were quick, words were even faster.

“Do you know about the power of supernatural ability? Dean.”

If you can’t tell the truth as it is, at least don’t lie.

I want to be as honest as I can. To convince her of her.

*****

“…… So, you have the same kind of ability as that astrological love from the east. Are you saying that it was thanks to that power that I came out of my disconnected space?”

To Tsumei’s question, I silently nodded her head.

Her expression subtly changed.

I want to say something, but I can’t think of anything to say.

Anyway, it was a very ambiguous expression and gaze. I scratched the back of my head and spoke first.

“I said it like it is. I admit that the power output is quite strong, but the penalty is so damn good that I can’t use it often.”

“Ummm… ….”

Tsumei let out a quiet voice. Even if I didn’t completely believe my words, the doubts and disbelief in the negative direction seemed to have somehow subsided.

So I had to push now. To prove my innocence(?), This method was the best.

I reached out and pointed at my wrist.

“Now, look.”

“What?”

“My clothes. You’ve become rags.”

At my words, Tsumei frowned at her for a moment and narrowed her eyes.

Even to her own eyes, it was true that her clothes were in tatters, so the expression itself loosened up right away.

“…… You mean that’s the price of using your abilities? Burning.”

“Causal pain, to be exact.”

After she nodded in affirmation, Tsumei asked again.

“Are you sick?”

“It hurts so much. I thought I was falling behind.”

It was an immediate answer. Tsumei glanced at me as if she were looking at me with pity.

“That’s right.”

It is a bonus to add a short word.

That’s when there was a moment of silence between me and her.

Tsumei had a pensive expression on her face, and I looked at her while pretending not to.

It was inevitable. Because she was the one holding her by my leash right now.

‘Perhaps he’s suspicious.’

If it’s natural, it’s natural.

When Tsumei checked the scars left on her severance space, I was there too. I fully understand the embarrassment she must have felt.

As much as there is a crazy penalty, the ability called ‘Thunderbolt’ showed considerable power.

Nothing else, it tore through the severance space the gold dragon had created. It was certainly an ignorant method, but the performance was excellent.

It’s not strange if Tsumei thinks, “Isn’t there something else with him?”

‘Honestly, I think I would have been suspicious.’

Because he did such a thing with a body without a handful of mana.

Uselessly self-objectification is good. I didn’t get stabbed, but I coughed for no reason.

‘…… Anyway.’

So, in the end, there was only one thing I had to do.

Without holding anything.

Unable to prove anything.

To get Tsumei’s trust and acceptance somehow.

“After.”

Take a short, deep breath. It was important from now on.

This was a version where I had no choice but to go out in a low profile from the beginning.

I need to make a deal, but I can’t give you anything right now.

Then what should I do?

“The dean.”

First of all, after giving out everything you have, you should just beg for help.

“As a premise, I have a reason to enter the academy.”

I said, and Tsumei made a disapproving expression.

“…… Yes what I don’t know why, but in the end it worked. Because I became a real special admissions student.”

Even if I put aside the various problems that occurred during the process, I thought it was a success because I succeeded in entering the school as I wished. Saying that, Tsumei raised her eyebrows.

It was half sarcastic, half gruff.

But I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

Because I didn’t know how much of a fuss the ‘fourth exception’ was.

“Aren’t you in a position to be kicked out of the dean’s eyes anyway? That makes no sense.”

“Hmm.”

Tsumei did not deny it.

Rather, she just nodded her head with a look of course.

So what I had to focus on wasn’t this worthless special position that I got right away.

Gulp-

I swallowed dry saliva.

Tension begins to creep in.

In the first place, as long as Tsumei puts her heart to it, she can bite as much as she wants.

Nevertheless, she selected me as a special admissions student.

Why?

Even if it’s for a short period of time, there’s a good chance it’ll go viral.

It was during the entrance ceremony that I suddenly received preferential treatment.

At the time, many people were watching my sudden appearance.

Not only freshmen, but also upperclassmen, professors, and staff. The number of officials from the academy who gathered and gathered must be well over a hundred.

– Helena. He, introduce him.

-Yes?

-Let’s insert it as the fourth special admission student. …… By on-the-spot decision.

-Yes???

-Oh, hurry up! I’ll explain everything later!

At that moment, Tsumei had already taken the risk. She

She didn’t have a contract, nor did she have a deep trust in each other.

A normal oral promise indeed.

Whether you keep it or not, there won’t be any problems.

She did not betray me.

‘So.’

I also needed to show some sincerity.

“The dean.”

I looked straight into Tsumei’s eyes and listened to her words.

“You tie me up with the Word Spirit.”

“Huh?”

Chimei was shocked and asked back, but I continued her words regardless.

“I don’t think I can tell you everything as it is. After all, I have quite a few important secrets. So it’s the next best thing.”

“What, what?”

“It’s a word.”

Tsumei asked reflexively, and I smiled smugly.

From noble mtl dot com

I came up with it, but I thought it was a pretty good trick.

“On condition that I do not lie to you, and that I do no harm to you or your academy. Besides that, plus a few more, I always make a contract in your favor. Wouldn’t that be enough to trust me?”

I have to enter the academy, and Tsumei holds the authority.

For me, that means I have to earn her trust.

However, there was no way to increase reliability in a short period of time. Well, of course it would.

‘So what should I do?’

If it was not possible to bring about a noticeable change right away, it was necessary to dispel her doubts, even if it was a little drastic.

“It’s good that I entered the academy, and it’s good that you can verify me. I think it’s a good condition, isn’t it?”

I added a few words to drive in a wedge.

“I’ll be the best in name and reality, so please accept it. In effect, I voluntarily go into your ‘servant’.”

And.

Flinch.

“The bell…… ?”

It was at that moment that a rather mysterious emotion came to Tsumei’s eyes.

Compared to any other eyes I have ever seen, the color was clearly different.

I was a little taken aback.

…… What are those useless twinkling eyes? Have I misunderstood something?
