“uh… What’s up… ?”
Fang couldn’t understand what had happened to him. He clearly confirmed that this building was the dormitory where ‘Johan Espertz’ was located, and had infiltrated his room. Then, as soon as I opened the door, I pushed the window toward the volume of the bed.
Fuuk-
The slashed spear went in strangely deep. Feeling puzzled, the canine removed the spear and quickly pulled back the blanket. Johann Esperts was not there. It wasn’t John who was killed by his spear, which penetrated the duvet, but two pairs of pillows.
The canine immediately realized its meaning.
‘It was camouflage?’
It was the last thought he could get right.
He touched the floor with the spear in unconnected thoughts. If it hadn’t been for that, it would have collapsed.
His body slowly hardened as he stood on the spear. It should be said that it is a superhuman will. He had his head pierced, and the light that pierced his head had penetrated the ceiling as well.
It wasn’t long before the owner of the room returned. Accompanied by a female magician from a circus troupe.
Even though the sorceress had vowed not to be surprised, she almost screamed at the sight in front of her. It is because of the face of a person whose lower chin is missing. It was so hideous that it was terrifying.
John said as he approached the frozen fang.
“I must say it was the bad luck I encountered during the march. don’t introduce The mercenary soldier who came to kill me, the fangs of Hidesolau.”
John’s subsequent actions were equally bizarre. John changed the shape of his bow back to a sword. It was the same sword that saved him when he first met him by cutting down the academy soldiers.
He thrust the tip of the sword into the dragon soldier’s chest.
“And the heart of a dragon soldier is made of dragon teeth.”
I waited for a while for the blood to flow down the blade, and something caught on the tip of the sword.
After he plowed through a few more times, something that looked hard suddenly fell to the floor.
It was a curved, cone-shaped tooth.
Yohan read the explanation in the system log.
[Hidesolau’s Fang (Spoil)]
[Rating: Superlative]
[A dragon’s tooth that can also function as a core of magical power. It also has an inestimable value for hunters.]
Arien looked at Yohan holding the bloody object and barely opened her mouth.
“The interest… Are you the ‘enemy’ John spoke of?”
“Enemy… .”
Yohan paused to read the system log that appeared before his eyes.
[You have killed the dragon soldier, ‘Hidesolau’s Fang’.]
[Additional rewards are obtained by attacking beyond the progress level.]
[Reward Item: Secret Point]
[Reward: 3 points]
he was satisfied Although there were twists and turns, it was a situation in which items and rewards were obtained as a result.
This [Secret Point] is the cost of using Jeong Yo-han’s skill. He had only used [Auto Skip] and [Simulation], but there were many more expensive skills in the list of Jung Yo-han’s skills he had seen. Having already confirmed the utility of the two skills above, I was looking forward to the utility of the other skills on the list.
“You did that before. John has an enemy to deal with.”
Johan could recall the words he had said before sending Arien away to Bastia’s mansion.
‘I have an enemy that I have to defeat in the end.’
‘I can’t carry you around doing such a dangerous thing.’
And for John, the definition of ‘enemy’ was simple. Everything that blocks the progression to the true ending was the enemy.
“You should say ‘Iza too’.”
“… Are there many people you hold grudges against?”
“Well, it’s similar.”
“I’m curious.”
Johann did not immediately resolve Arien’s curiosity. Rather, I thought about the progress of the events.
At this point, there are a total of two events that could change the face of the [Grade Principal Election]. One is the [Frantimo’s Jewelry Collection] that he has already cleared, and the other is the [Social Party Hosted by Ida].
If [Frantimo’s Jewelry Collection] is an event that contributes to making Adrinne the grade president, then [Social Party Hosted by Ida] is an event for Johann Esperts to become the grade president himself.
Ida Hermes, the younger brother of Evangeles Hermes, is a character who is very interested in clothes, and at this point, he would visit Frantimo’s clothing store with several friends and open up his face.
A large number of first-year students must have participated in the party she hosted.
But I didn’t intend to become the school principal myself, so I chose to do something more important – namely, meet the academy wizard.
Johan silently accepted Arien’s gaze.
A character he created as an extra.
But now its importance has gone up.
‘I need you.’
Her black hair, which hung down to her waist, seemed to shine while she was not seeing it.
It must be proof that Bastia is treating her well.
As John’s silence grew longer, Arien asked.
“Are you having trouble telling me?”
Yohan let out a small sigh and pondered what story he should tell.
As long as it was revealed that Arien was a magician, it was necessary to properly raise the affinity with her.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what the ‘proper’ line is.
I’ve never made anything like a strategy against her. Even the information about her floating in the system log was all new to John.
[Name: Arien]
[Class Rating: Main Character (Wizard)]
[Strength: 3, Agility 3, Sense 4 (Hearing 8), Health 3]
[Special Magic: Listen (Lv. 3)]
[Inferring information beyond logical thinking based on the sounds you hear. She can respond to subtle sounds and interpret the emotions contained in them. You can clearly distinguish and resist sounds of fascination, fear, and hallucinations.]
[Special Magic: Telling You-(0Lv)]
[This ability has not yet been developed. This magic has a separate spectrum.]
[User Guide: As a character with the characteristic of ‘reflection’, her magic will receive explosive buffs or debuffs depending on her relationship with the person she is with.]
Shoot aaa-
Outside the window it rained again. And Arien was so sensitive that she could count the sounds of the rain one by one. Thanks to this, she was certain of one characteristic of her magic. sure
As for herself, in front of John, the depth of magic deepened.
Arien added as John’s silence lengthened.
“explain it to me please. I want to know about John.”
“Well… .”
John’s expression, which has the characteristics of [cheating], was natural. But Arien knew before John spoke.
that he was going to lie.
It wasn’t logic.
The sound of his breathing, the sound of blood running through his veins, the sound of his heart beating, were telling lies.
But even if it was a lie, it didn’t matter.
After all, she had never imagined that she could ever be with John. Unknowingly, John must have been a son of an aristocratic family. And John also knew that he was a slave sold to a circus as a child.
She just wanted to hear John’s voice. So, she listened to John’s stories all night long.

Ida was upset.
The party he hosted was literally a hit. A lot of kids from the same grade came to visit, and everyone had a great time. Under the patronage of several clothing store owners, people danced in colorful dresses. A wonderful couple was born, there was a surprise announcement from the Frodo family, and even the newspaper members forgot the text that they were covering and enjoyed dancing and drinking.
But I wondered what was the use of it all.
In fact, there is not a single person she wants to please.
Ida stared at the dress hanging in the closet. It was the dress she wore to the party. A party that the person who really wanted to show off the dress did not come.
There was one person who approached her politely.
‘It’s a nice meeting. Thank you for hosting such a party, Miss Hermes.’
‘You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Mr. Jackal Frodo.’
‘It would be a crime to stop a girl in such a nice dress. If you don’t encourage me to dance, I think I’ll go to the academy’s brothel. Will you save me?’
Ida stared at the jackal’s outstretched hand and grabbed it. And following the melody of the violinists, the two of them started to step.
It was actually a dress that stood out for its unconventional beauty. All the male students participating in the event would glance at Ida. A costume that is transparent enough to reveal the inside at a glance.
However, rather than being raunchy, it felt like it was gorgeous with a pattern that harmonized with the flesh color.
When the tempo of the music slowed down, the jackal spoke in a low voice.
‘It’s a sheep. Could you help me?’
Ida had already formed a wide circle of friends among the girls. Ida, who had had similarly toned conversations with boys a few times, guessed the help the jackal was seeking.
‘Do you have someone in mind?’
‘yes. That’s right.’
‘Do you need my help? I bet no one would refuse the Frodo family’s bastard’s request for companionship, right?’
‘It gives me a little courage to say that. But now I need your help.’
‘Who do you like?’
The jackal didn’t even hesitate.
‘It’s Hermes.’
‘yes. I’m listening.’
‘This is Hermes. The woman I’m interested in is.’
Ida missed a step once. The words I wanted to hear from Yohan had come from someone else’s mouth.
The jackal quickly supported her and said.
‘Of course Miss Ida is beautiful, but I won’t fool you by saying it was love at first sight. I am a goal oriented person. I need your skills.’
It was a novel confession for Ida. There were men who approached her because she was cute or pretty, but there were no men who approached her because of her ‘ability’. However, Ida, who had been seriously thinking about it, was puzzled. ‘What kind of ability did I have?’ After reading Ida’s expression, the jackal added.
‘Time would have been equal for everyone. But among them, only Ms. Ida was able to gather people and hold a party like this.’
‘… You must have been short of things to praise. Seeing how noble the word ‘play well’ is.’
‘I don’t go this way to people who are in short supply of compliments. Being able to unite people is the most important ability than anything else. I would like Miss Lee Ida to support my run for the school year president election.’
‘Ahh. Are you running for school president?’
‘yes. If I have to hang out with Ms. Lee Da in order to receive a support speech, I am willing to do so. Please let me know if you would like something else. I want to listen to you.’
‘… I’ll need some thinking.’
‘You just have to decide before the election day.’
It was a little different from his view of love. But for one thing, I was able to re-evaluate the jackal. At least Jackal was respectful of those who needed him.
When she returned from dancing, Ida changed her opinion of her older brother, whom she had always thought was stupid. On that day, her older brother, Evangeles, was not stupid, but seemed like a brainless person.
‘It’s you. How about that style?’
‘How, what?’
‘Look closely. His smile resembles Yohan’s. Like the hairstyle.’
‘… yes. go away.’
‘Or is he? It’s called Kuridora, but I heard that she also has a hobby of hunting.’
A knocking sound interrupted the pathetic brother’s words.
“Hey, let’s go take the test~”
It was only then that Ida looked out the window and checked the time. It seemed that he had been up all night again.
“… yes. I’ll go.”
Eventually, Ida, who finished preparing herself, left the dorm room with the children.
Ida’s route to class was always fixed.
She often skips breakfast to keep in shape. And I didn’t go straight to the class place. A long way back through dormitories B and C. Maybe on the road you might run into John.
And on that day, an interesting situation was unfolding in the vacant lot of dormitory building C.
While everyone in the dormitory was lying on their stomachs, one of the officers shouted with a red face.
“You bastard who broke down the dorm door, are you really not coming out?!”
