Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 3

3 – Possession (3)

Academy was, after all, the core, alpha, and omega of the work.

In other words, if I didn’t enter the academy in the first place, my life as a possessor would end from the very beginning.

Aside from being embarrassed, it’s rather strange if your head doesn’t go blank.

In my head, it was tangled in an unprecedented complexity, but it was simple to summarize.

1. Oh, did I get f*cked?

2. Oh, I’m f*cked!

Nothing special, that’s all.

Can’t get into the academy?

That means there is really no room for me to interfere with the main story of this game or this world.

…… The playable character, in other words, when the player starts the game, the first tutorial they go through is the academy’s entrance exam.

It’s a tutorial made to go through easily in the first place, and of course I’ve never been blocked in that part. At least I did.

Even if depending on how you proceed with the entrance exam, you may gain positive factors in your academy life, it is impossible to fail the admission itself.

Of course, I have no choice but to harden my head.

I was about to proceed according to my plan, but I got stuck at the first step, which I thought would be the simplest.

I couldn’t pass the first hurdle of the entrance exam.

I can’t get into the academy.

Naturally?

I am the only one who knows the details, and I will live ‘outside’ the academy that I pride myself on.

‘Oh sh*t.’

A reflexive sigh leaked out.

How could a guy with such a name as a playable character fail to enter the academy?

I couldn’t turn my head more than usual.

Is it a new job and is it different from the original characters?

Are you saying this is an error intended by the game developer?

‘A person with special abilities, a person with special abilities… ….’

Dante was a person with special abilities.

Cannot use mana. It means that he is a guy who has no talent for it in the first place.

Of course, that doesn’t matter too much.

Unlike other characters who mainly use mana, he was given the unique personality called superpower from the beginning.

As long as the player’s fingers are intact, they should be able to grow to the same level as other characters, or even more depending on the situation.

You mean that’s a new job?

Am I wrong? Uh?

Yes, of course Dante has that potential.

If the game makers weren’t determined to design this new class as a trap or landmine-esque character, then it should have been.

…… But, that wasn’t what really mattered.

Growth?

As with any playable character, it won’t be difficult to become the strongest player in this world if you train well.

Isn’t this guy even equipped with a special element called superpower?

This Dante character must have potential.

I was sure of that.

By the way.

I keep telling you, but by the way.

First of all, the background of this game was, no matter what anyone said, the academy.

Unless the game company went crazy and prepared a cataclysmic update, Dante also had to have the status of a freshman at the academy.

But the first step in the academy entrance exam is the determination of mana and talent.

And Dante can’t handle mana.

That’s because he’s a person with special abilities.

“Huh.”

What an absurd situation! I sighed towards the sky.

Even in the midst of such confusion, I tried my best to figure out a way.

I don’t think the management side would have created a character called Dante without any countermeasures.

Of course there has to be something called a root. Otherwise it makes no sense

Keeping as much composure as possible, I slowly pondered.

‘Let’s think about it.’

First of all, Dante is a person with special abilities.

It was an established fact that he couldn’t handle mana.

Then, of course, Dante cannot enter the academy. Why?

The Academy’s admission criteria, the very first.

Because the first test, which could be called the minimum condition, was none other than determining whether or not Mana had talent.

But there must be a way.

I decided to try that.

I thought it would be a good idea to think of such an assumption first, make it a prerequisite, and continue thinking.

Right now, I was unable to post a question to the community because there was a blockage in the game.

Similarly, it was not possible to leave an inquiry through the official website.

This means that I have to figure out a way by myself.

‘Is it possible? This.’

Cold sweat flows down naturally. Take a look at the still long lines and the people waiting for the first test where joys and sorrows intersect.

Among them, there are those who fall, and there are those who cling to it.

It was natural.

The unfortunate thing is, is it just that I belong to one of those “Falling teeth”?

It’s a damn damn good situation.

Is there any way?

Is there anything I can do?

I try my best, but isn’t this a category that can be crossed with ‘intelligent play’ in the first place?

I can’t get an answer. It’s probably not because I’m stupid that I can’t find my way.

No, even the boss monster in the tutorial, which was made to not be broken, will give you the next quest to proceed.

But what is the current situation?

‘I’ve lost track of the boss monster, but they don’t tell me what to do now… ….’

What should I say?

Just a dirty unkind tutorial?

Summarizing, it was exactly that feeling. There was nothing more to add.

‘…… Tell me what to do.’

Frowning my face, I sat down halfway down on a bench a short distance from the plaza where the entrance exam was being held.

I don’t know how many times he said it over and over again, but that was the expression that best suited the situation.

No answer.

“… ….”

I succeeded in calming down a bit.

It is said that it was difficult to calm down the confused feelings.

But there was one thing that I couldn’t see the road.

There was nothing I could do right now, just.

-What happens if you don’t get into the academy?

A natural question if it is natural.

However, the answer to that question was never something that could be easily overlooked.

If I don’t get into the academy, I have no choice but to be thrown into this ‘world I don’t even know properly’.

To be honest, what do I know about this world?

Of course, knowing in advance what will happen in the future will be a huge advantage.

This means that we can be prepared to face the end, whether it is destruction or the end, whatever it is called.

But then what? I can’t get into the academy.

I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but in order for me to most definitely prepare for my aging (?) Countermeasures, I needed to set foot inside the academy.

It’s a world where it’s not strange to be knocked down by a blind knife while wandering around the outside of the academy.

It is not simply because of the disaster that will come later.

This world itself is a fantasy, but what if you accidentally meet a group of monsters while traveling to a neighboring city on a food tour?

‘I don’t want to think about it, really. …… Sincerely.’

In order to live safely in this world, I had to enter the academy no matter what.

In the end, what I came up with as a last resort was nothing else.

‘…… What is the academy?’

Wouldn’t you like to hire a cleaner separately?

I am confident that I can clean well. Perfectly clean.

“Hey, brother.”

It was then.

“…… Huh?”

A small shadow approaches in front of me as I sit on a bench with a despondent expression on my face like a broken-hearted boy.

I raised my head in pursuit of the shadow that entered my field of vision, or rather, its owner.

“Uh.”

And then, I got to see it.

“What’s up? You don’t look good.”

With flowing golden hair and wide open eyes.

It was a girl.

In other words, a girl.

I didn’t just lump it in, but literally, it was something that deserved to be called a girl.

Standing in front of me, holding a lollipop in my mouth, looking up at me with a very concerned expression.

Are you only fifteen?

By modern standards, he was a young guy who could have been in the 2nd or 3rd year of middle school.

He looks up at me, licks a lollipop stick after a lollipop, and touches me with a concerned look.

Generally, in this situation, how should I react?

Did I feel a new sense of shame when I realized that even such a young girl was visibly despairing enough to worry about me?

If that wasn’t the case, would I have avoided the seat with a sense of embarrassment with 100% purity?

Gulp-

…… Either way, I couldn’t be sure.

No, before that, those small questions were not important.

Swallow dry saliva.

It was clearly a reaction that stemmed from tension.

Some may have doubts.

Is there a need to feel nervous all over again in front of an ordinary cute middle school girl?

You could ask that.

Ah, but I had the intention of answering anyone who asked such a question.

-Don’t be fooled.

‘Crazy.’

Muttering a curse in my heart, I reflexively stood up.

“Huh?”

At my reaction, the girl tilted her head as her blonde hair fluttered, but that’s okay.

Should I say that I feel something?

Since he is a character that I have seen several times through games, that is, through the ‘screen’, there may be no need to be nervous or wary.

But that’s it. Of course, such a lukewarm response would inevitably change depending on the opponent.

“… ….”

I knew the girl in front of me.

I’ve captured the scene where she appears several times on the screen.

It was just a story.

…… Let’s break it down in a little more detail, yes.

Her identity, her true face.

I was saying that I would never know.

That’s why I’m nervous.

With one glance at her, it’s funny enough that her body can’t help but flinch.

“…… Huh?”

And. It was at that moment that the ‘girl’ folded her eyes into a half-moon shape, probably noticing a sense of incongruity after seeing my reaction.

Damn it!

After biting and crushing the lollipop she was holding in her mouth, she sat down next to me with a slightly different look on her face.

The white-legged girl glanced at me as if she was interested.

It didn’t go well with his appearance, but ironically, his eyes and pose suited the atmosphere very well.

“Um.”

She furrowed her brow as if thinking for a moment, then threw a word at me.

“Brother, do you know me?”

“…… No, I don’t know.”

It was half a beat late, but it was still fast enough to be called an immediate answer.

For the first time in Bing’s life, I started acting with intense sincerity.

But really, unfortunately.

“Yes, that is a lie.”

Ssiik-

The girl in front of me didn’t seem to want to be fooled by my acting.

“It’s amazing. I didn’t expect that among those who failed in the first test, there would be a child who would attract my interest…….”

“… ….”

“Hey, what are you?”

Beep, beep-

The tone of voice has changed.

The unfunny title of “Brother” Disappeared before I knew it, and the girl with those blue eyes “Slit in a straight line” Leaned over towards me.

I felt as if a gigantic monster was flicking my tongue.

While showing a strange interest toward me.

Is that an illusion?

“Seriously, how did you recognize me? Is this older sister suddenly starting to care about you?”

Anyway, I guess it’s not an illusion.

Took-

Right after that, she rested her chin on my shoulder and began to slowly hear her voice in my ear.

“Answer me, huh? How did you find out, sister? I thought I was pretty confident in Polymorph.”

To be honest, it wasn’t awkward at all to call herself ‘sister’ with a middle school girl-like appearance.

However, I couldn’t carelessly give an answer to her question.

No matter what, the eyes of this blonde girl.

A blue gem resembling that sapphire.

Saaa-

…… No matter what anyone says, it was because it was extremely similar to that of reptiles.

‘There is a voice asking you to answer the subject, who is spewing out fear.’

I swallowed my tears.

I wanted to go home.
