Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 4

4 – Admission attempt (1)

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a fantasy world?

That was a question that could not but be answered differently depending on the person.

That’s right, there wasn’t really anything that could be called the right answer.

It could be a sword.

It could have been magic.

But now, no matter what anyone says, I will only mention one ‘existence’.

‘Dragon.’

What to hide?

The blonde girl sitting next to me right now licking a lollipop is none other than that dragon.

A cold sweat runs down my face.

Until just before, of course, there was a lot of chaos, but of course it wasn’t comparable to now.

It was a failure to enter the academy, it was nabal, and I had no choice but to suffer from the extreme instinct to return home.

To repeat, now I just wanted to go home.

‘Why is this woman here… ….’

I looked at her with her bewildered gaze.

I know her identity.

I knew her name.

Gold Dragon ‘Zmei’.

At this point, it is the last remaining dragon in this world, and also the dean of the academy, which is the background of the game.

If you look at it from the player’s point of view, not from a possessed person who has fallen into this world, should I say that it is a character that feels like a helper that is always present in every work?

Based on its mighty power, there are times when it deals with enemies that the player cannot handle.

Sometimes, there are times when he makes the game go smoothly by giving advice in passing.

Later in the game, depending on her playstyle, there wasn’t even a way to get herself into her party.

In other words, she is just one of the normal characters in the game.

Was it popular in its own way?

There were dozens of things that could be called moe elements, so it wasn’t too strange.

To be honest, I can’t stand the ‘blonde dragon girl’.

“… ….”

Um.

I glanced at Tsumei, then lowered her eyes again.

It’s not a big deal, it’s true that I was stabbed myself and avoided my eyes.

Didn’t the dragon have mind reading?

“Kuhm!”

“?”

The words got off the rails for a moment, but I wanted to tell you that Tsumei is not a dangerous person.

There is no reason for me to shake myself like a small animal.

I didn’t do anything wrong, and she wasn’t a mindless dragon enough to punish humans who passed by for no reason.

‘…… I know.’

But, this wasn’t as easy as I thought.

There is no particular reason to be afraid. There was no need to be nervous.

Whether or not I’m wary of her in the first place, her attitude doesn’t make any sense.

Why?

‘So what… ….’

Simply.

What can I do now?

If you are on guard, what are you going to do?

‘hahahaha.’

All of a sudden, I started to feel shabby.

No, it’s natural if it’s natural, but should I say it’s a bit disappointing?

However, it was too much of a waste of my life to surrender myself to such a despondent mood and cast ‘I don’t know’.

If you don’t want to be reduced to ashes after being hit by a breath, let’s just keep quiet and maintain an attitude of respect and respect.

That’s for the best…….

Girl, not much time has passed since Tsumei asked me a question.

She didn’t answer, saying that she was blank for a moment, but Tsumei didn’t seem to care.

Just staring at me and gnawing at a lollipop.

…… Of course, just by looking at her, I had no choice but to shoulder a huge burden on her shoulders, but that wasn’t Tsumei’s business.

Still, I was given my own time, so it wasn’t like I wasn’t doing anything.

First, take a deep breath to calm down the tension.

The heat starts to cool slightly.

I could feel my reason slowly returning.

To be honest, there is nothing I can do right now.

However, it was possible enough to forcefully roll his stiff head.

‘…… Hmm.’

Let’s think a little calmly.

Tsumei.

Gold Dragon Tsumei.

No matter how much they press me with dragon fear, there was no reason for me to be afraid.

Rather, this was an opportunity.

‘Come to think of it, it was like that.’

Now that my head is cold, I can have a little normal vision.

I take one look at Tsumei, who is still staring at me, and then glance up at the academy building.

This gold dragon is the head of that academy.

Established within the Empire, but separated from the Empire, the continent’s best educational institution, equipped with the ‘power’ to break away from the Empire’s mighty influence.

It was not built by the Empire.

It is an educational institution ‘built by dragons’ and ‘for humans’.

In other words, only she could call herself the owner of this academy.

And my goal is to enter the academy.

It was to somehow follow the flow of the main story.

‘Think about it, there must be something.’

I have seriously thought about the world.

To the point where I wonder if I’ve ever worked my head properly, I overworked my brain so fervently.

Isn’t that what you’ve been thinking all along?

The possibility that there will be an arrangement by the game company for Dante, a person with special abilities, to enter the academy.

If you don’t get into the academy, the game itself won’t progress.

So there was a good chance that something was ready.

Even if it’s a ‘slightly differentiated tutorial’ from other playable characters.

‘──Ah.’

It was then that I met Tsumei’s eyes once again.

It seemed like I had found the answer.

*****

‘…… Is not it?’

The gold dragon, Tsumei tilted her head, feeling a strange feeling.

She was wandering around the campus in the midst of the academy’s entrance examination, with a purpose of some kind.

To find the fun you may have missed.

As a result, it was none other than a boy.

No, should I say young man? Since he came to take the entrance exam, he must be an adult.

But well, actually, that wasn’t the point.

What Tsumei cared about was not that external appearance, but the strange ‘sense of difference’ she noticed in the silver boy’s attitude.

At first, it was just plain curiosity.

Why are you sitting with such a desperate expression on the subject of failing to pass that simple first test?

At that age, I would have been able to vaguely grasp the extent of my mana talent.

So I approached and looked at it.

She doesn’t think there’s anyone who stands out, she’s just talking to him to satisfy her short-lived interest.

From noble mtl dot com

-Hey brother, what’s going on? You don’t look good.

There were two main reactions that were expected.

To feel a sense of shame or shame.

They both felt similar, but in fact, it didn’t matter much to Tsumei either way.

It was literally just a short-lived whim, so unless there was even a fairly fresh response, I thought of patting him on the shoulder and then leaving.

By the way, I did.

-Uh.

What should I say about that reaction?

I can’t explain it properly, but the texture was a bit different from what Tsumei expected.

The gloomy expression hardens in an instant.

The two eyes began to fluctuate endlessly.

No matter how you think about it, that wasn’t a normal reaction.

It wasn’t even the kind of reaction you would show when you see a girl who is just plain pretty.

If you have to put it that way, yes.

It was a reaction that felt like I was facing an uncontrollable monster right in front of me.

What Tsumei felt at that moment was that sense of difference.

Instinctive intuition works with a ‘thrill’.

There is no reason. There is no reason.

But I just noticed.

The fact that the young man in front of him might know his true identity.

‘Mmm… ….’

But, was that just an illusion after all?

Tsumei salivated internally and scratched her cheek.

Roll her lollipop in her mouth.

It was sweet.

‘They don’t answer.’

Right now, at this point, she wasn’t quite sure about her intuition.

She radiated her peer at the same time as asking her question.

Of course, that would put a lot of pressure on a young human, but the level itself was certainly appropriate.

Even though it was a bit of a burden, it meant that it wasn’t a terrible level of coercion that there was no way to overcome it.

But the fact that the answer still hasn’t come back means that in the end, she’s not able to open her mouth because she’s been weighed down by that level of pressure.

Unfortunately, the odds that the sense of alienation she felt were simply an illusion increased.

‘Jeep.’

Chimei licked her lips with regret.

I felt something, but it was definitely a hunch.

She had a strange feeling, as if she knew something about herself.

‘Well, is that strange as it is?’

Slipping her arms around her, Tsumei raised one of her eyebrows.

If you think about it, yes.

Actually, her face wasn’t particularly well known.

A lot of people probably know about the gold dragon ‘Tsumei’, the founder of the academy.

But if you’ve ever met her face to face, well?

Even within the academy, only a handful of people knew Tsumei’s face.

As far as common sense goes, her average citizen 1 cannot recognize her.

‘Hmm, I’m sure it’s like that.’

Remembering that fact, I naturally nodded my head.

At the same time, Tsumei realized that he had melted and ate all the lollipops.

“Um.”

Then he casually pulls out two more lollipops from his pocket.

Tsumei stares at the strawberry-flavored candy and the grape-flavored candy for a while.

Within a pitiful expression, she handed out a strawberry-flavored candy to the young man.

“Brother, actually, this is my favorite flavored candy… …. Since you look so tired, I’ll give you one.”

Suddenly, the title and tone returned to the way they were at the beginning.

“Now, hurry up. I don’t know what’s going on, but candy isn’t sinful, right?”

As a sign of strength, Chimei peeled the skin of her candy and handed it to the young man.

“hahahaha… ….”

Did he read Tsumei’s sympathy from those expressions and actions? The young man let out a bitter laugh.

Then she nodded and accepted the candy.

He put the candy in his mouth and spat out a word.

“It’s a lollipop that the gold dragon peels, so should I call this an honor?”

“Ahahahaha, what glory.”

At that, Tsumei laughed and shook her hand.

“It’s just plain candy, De… ….”

Stop-

That’s when she noticed something odd about her.

Her reaction was slightly delayed, but she blinked her eyes blankly and quickly turned her head away.

“Huh?”

A feeling of bewilderment lingers in Tsumei’s expression as he looks at the young man.

-What did this guy just say?

It was the look in his eyes as if he were saying that.

“Actually, I know a store that sells super sweet lollipops. Chu X Chups…….”

However, despite Tsumei’s stare, the young man really didn’t care and just continued talking.

“I’ll buy you hundreds of them, so could you put me in the academy as a special admissions student?”

“???”

It was a bold attempt to solicit.

To the point of sending Tsumei’s spirit far away to the other side of the continent, even for a moment.
