Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 5

5 – Entrance Attempt (2)

“…… Chu X Chups, I’ve never heard of it. Is it that delicious?”

Chimei focused her eyes on me with worldly seriousness.

A more solemn expression than the last time he pressed me with Dragon Fear.

To that, I erased my laughter and answered.

“Yes. It is literally the best lollipop in the world.”

First of all, this is not a lie.

It’s the standard of the world I’ve lived through.

“Whoa… ….”

Tsumei’s eyes shone sharply.

As if trying to see through my thoughts, she narrowed her eyes.

And for a while, a snowball fight under the guise of a war of nerves continues.

“… ….”

“… ….”

“…… Ugh.”

It was none other than Tsumei’s low sigh that broke the brief silence in the exchange of glances.

“What is this doing? I didn’t come all the way here to play with words.”

“Isn’t candy still important?”

“Of course that is—but—no, not that!”

Tsumei, who was about to agree to my words for a moment, suddenly stood up.

“Now that’s not important! What did you just say!”

“Tsk.”

I thought I could just skip it.

“Are you tongue-tied?!”

“Not really.”

“I don’t think so?!”

This is Ms. Tsumei who grits and picks up nitpicks.

Even if I shouted at her, I am not the one who would be frightened by her youthful appearance.

I held out both of her hands toward Tsumei as if I were handling a ferocious animal.

“Whoa. Calm down, Dean. Excuse me, but it’s burning right now.”

“What, fire? I am not a red dragon!”

No, I didn’t mean it that way.

Is it more important now than anything else?

I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.

I nodded with a somewhat serious expression.

“Well, there is a difference between gold and red.”

But apart from that, I’m not sure what I’m talking about either.

Isn’t it the same reptile as a gold dragon or a red dragon?

Of course, this was not the kind of word that could be brought out. Because I didn’t want to take a breath.

“Take it for granted… ….”

Still, Tsumei seems to have been somewhat satisfied with my answer. Seeing that he calmed down his anger by pressing down on his temples with a more deflated expression.

Her eyes were still sharp, but compared to just before, she had regained her relative sanity.

“…… What are you? How did you recognize me?”

She asked, and I tilted my head at her, pretending to be puzzled.

“You guessed it, didn’t you? That I would have seen through the dean’s identity.”

“I thought it was an illusion.”

“Oops. Unfortunately, it seems that it was not an illusion.”

At my calm reply, Tsumei’s expression wrinkled with an indescribable feeling.

How should I describe it?

‘Hmm.’

If I had to sum it up in one sentence, it was an expression as if I was contemplating ‘Kill him or save him?’.

As for the look in his eyes, it wasn’t particularly bloody, but I couldn’t help but be a little scared.

Of course, I didn’t reveal that inside out. Is there anything to look down on?

‘Well, it seems that I have already looked down on you as much as you can look down on… ….’

I laughed.

I thought that it was not something I could say confidently about the topic of shaking my body after being hit by Dragon Fear.

‘But.’

But that was that, this was this.

I started to stare at Tsumei with quite serious eyes once again.

“…… What are those eyes?”

As if she had lost all of her jeans after being caught up in my pace for a moment, she received my gaze and took a half-step back as if she was strangely reluctant.

Looking me up and down as if on guard was a bonus.

Slightly hurt.

In fact, isn’t it rather me who deserves to be wary of the other person?

I scratched the back of my head with my subtle mug.

To be honest, I’m not sure what expression I should make now.

‘…… Well, anyway.’

After calming down for a bit and thinking about it, it seemed a bit absurd to just say ‘the situation is not good’.

It’s not a dangerous situation. No, I knew that from the beginning.

That said, it was true even if I excluded the safety of my life (?), Which I had to worry about right away.

Isn’t it?

This blonde girl standing in front of me right now is, in name and reality, the most powerful person in the academy.

If there is someone who can help me, if there is someone I can get help from.

At this point, Tsumei was the only one.

Her Even if the emperor of the empire comes, there is no way to push her away.

The emperor held the greatest power on the continent, but there were always exceptions.

The academy was one of those exceptional places.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, it feels like an inviolable sanctuary.

‘And I need to go to an academy like that right now.’

It’s new, but I felt the tension creeping up.

Even in the middle of it, I didn’t forget the candy Tsumei handed me, and I munched it in my mouth. It was definitely sweet.

‘Whatever it is is fine.’

I set a goal.

The direction I must go, the first thing I must do to survive in this world.

That was nothing else.

I gritted my teeth and stood up.

-Originally, life is about school ties, regional ties, and blood ties.

Where did you hear that?

In fact, sources and grounds were not that important.

The key is that in the end, the element of networking is essential to living in the world.

It wouldn’t be much different from the world in the game.

Of course, none of the three, school ties, regional ties, and blood ties, were established between me and Tsumei…….

‘Kuhup.’

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, in the end, people in this world have to be the best.

Flash!

I opened my eyes and started moving towards Tsumei.

From noble mtl dot com

“What, what is it?”

Are you at least briefly overwhelmed by my momentum?

Tsumei began to stride her backwards, looking incongruously flustered.

And I didn’t miss the opportunity.

“Dean!”

Shout out with confidence!

I grabbed Tsumei’s slender shoulders and knelt down with her.

“Uh, uh uh uh?”

I didn’t care that Tsumei, who couldn’t keep up with the situation, rolled her eyes, and immediately put on a desperate expression.

“Help me just once! Think of it as saving a young middle school student, please give me a special admission!”

It’s okay to be ugly, it’s okay to be sloppy.

If only I could get into the academy!

Whether it’s coddling with candy or hanging by the hem of my skirt, I’ll do whatever I can to survive in this world!

“Woah, crazy! What’s wrong with him!”

And the next second, I was kicked by Tsumei’s outstretched leg!

“?”

Huh?

Puck!

“Yup.”

With a short moan, the vision reversed.

What the f*ck was that?

‘Mo, it feels like my neck is broken… ….’

Plop!

Reaction or coping?

There is no such thing. The dragon’s kick was sharper than I expected.

The weak possessed chair lost consciousness.

“… ….”

It was a fainting that was greeted in a very funny way, which put the determined resolution to shame.

Slightly, no, a little embarrassing.

*****

– Hmm.

Tsumei frowned.

Crush-

She casually took out a lollipop and looked down at the auditorium with slightly ambiguous eyes.

It was during the height of the entrance ceremony.

-It seems to be subtly lacking.

-What do you mean, dean?

The answer came back to herself, but Tsumei continued her words without being surprised.

-The students who entered the special case. Should I say something ambiguous?

-What do you mean by ambiguous?

– I mean numbers.

-Ah, you meant numbers.

The woman shook her head as if she understood the added comment.

She was Tsumei’s secretary.

At the same time, he was Tsumei’s most trusted subordinate.

-It’s a bit like three people, but if only one more person was added, the picture would have been better.

-I understand that the students who were admitted under special circumstances were selected by the dean himself…….

The woman’s half-question contained the meaning of, ‘Then why didn’t you pick one more person a long time ago’.

But Tsumei shook her head. She has a look that doesn’t deserve it.

-I also tried to pick one more. But what if I can’t find a good guy? It’s a pity, but we have to proceed as it is, well.

She didn’t answer that, but she could understand to some extent what Tsumei was trying to say.

The jockeys entering this year were truly outstanding, worthy of being said to be the best of all time, and especially when it comes to special admissions students.

As the woman looked down at her auditorium, she slowly began to think of the ‘three’.

She was first of all the granddaughter of the Sword Saint.

Has the rumor spread throughout the empire that even the swordsman in his heyday surpasses swordsmanship in terms of sword skills?

She is a woman After all, she had seen the girl’s swordsmanship once following Tsumei, so she was on the side of having quite a few expectations.

A week after the entrance ceremony, I have no doubt that I will occupy the top or second place in the first overall evaluation that will begin around that time.

Then there is the Saint of Chastity.

An existence that proves the existence of a goddess and symbolizes all faiths in this world. She was her second exceptionally admitted student.

Not to mention her ability to heal and protect based on her divine power, and according to what I’ve heard, her personal strength is pretty good as well. She

She was an interesting talent as well. It was also unusual for a saintess to enter the academy.

Lastly, the eldest son of the Finnear family.

The story of getting recognition for the divine spear sealed by the first head of household hundreds of years ago was already famous throughout the continent.

Even Tsumei burst into exclamations of exclamation at the news that Shinchang had started serving a young man as his new master, so no further words would be needed.

The woman took her eyes off her main auditorium and turned her head towards her Tsumei.

Her woman, in fact, was in a state where she didn’t quite understand what her superior had just said to her.

Are you saying you don’t like the number ‘3’?

Or it has a different meaning.

– Mmm.

She thought she had been with the gold dragon in front of her for quite a long time, but there seemed to be a lot she didn’t know yet.

At that point, the woman stopped her thoughts and began to focus on her entrance ceremony again.

-Three, three…….

And.

Even then, Tsumei was touching my lips with a worried expression.

With a lollipop sandwiched between her index and middle fingers, she muttered in her meaningful voice.

-Wouldn’t a special child show up?

A special child who can breathe life into this boring life.

*****

Flash-

“… ….”

I remembered.

That was a scene from Tsumei’s memorial episode.

In the first place, Tsumei had planned to select three or more students with special exceptions.

At the time she saw the story, she couldn’t think of anything else, but when she thought about it, there was definitely something unusual about it. She wouldn’t have needed to put such a description, like.

In fact, this is the yard where a new job called Dante emerged.

How much more so is such a new class the only playable character with no mana?

Since the situation is so unfortunate, I don’t think it’s strange to regard that fleeting reference as a kind of foreshadowing.

Ssiik-

I slightly raised the corners of my mouth.

‘Like, of course.’

Damn I believed you.

In that case, there could be no arrangements made by the management for Dante.

Are our game companies not that lax?

Although he has a tendency to suck money a bit.

That was a level that could be passed over as aegyo.

“Why are you smiling? Feel bad.”

Huh?

It was then.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side, and only then did I remember what kind of disaster (?) I faced at the end.

That’s why, I’m sure I got hit right away by the kicking of a pretty blonde girl who was extremely flustered–

“… ….”

Um.

I don’t want to think about it.

I forcibly cut off my thoughts and turned my head.

My body creaked, but I tried to ignore it.

One strand, two strands, three strands of golden hair just came into view. And, uh…….

“Tsumei?”

“He’s just calling out the dean’s name now. Aren’t dragons very funny?”

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the blond dragon junior high school girl who was taking care of me came into view.
