54 – 12. There is a fortune teller after the election
Two weeks after the survival test.
Things that were broken during the exam had already been restored, and most students had forgotten the afterglow of the exam and returned to their daily lives.
A strange rumor began to circulate.
“Did you…Hear?”
“A fortune teller? Of course I heard about it. You said you could tell me anything?”
A rumor about a fortune telling book that predicts anything and the prediction is sure to come true.
The story that started with a few red-haired, bulky, blonde students slowly began to spread throughout the academy.
A fortune teller run by a talented person who was the valedictorian and ranked 3rd in the survival test.
It may not be possible for students in a special vocational class who take the same class every day, but students who rarely see him will inevitably perceive him as a mysterious and capable fortune teller.
The rumor that had been widely known started to catch fire thanks to one person.
“Hey, Sasaki.”
“Hmm.”
“You…Is it true that you went to that rumored fortune teller?”
“…Yes. I was recommended it by my sister.”
“How was it? You and Namgoong Min moved together at the entrance ceremony, right?”
“I can’t tell you the details, but… One thing is certain.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It was just enough to change my sister’s heart.”
“……Huh?”
Remarks by Ito Sasaki, a representative student of Japan and the strongest
Sword in the first year.
There have been quite a few students who say fortune-telling is useful, but Sasaki Ito’s words inevitably had a different weight from them.
Because he was one of the Academy’s biggest celebrities.
And so the fortune telling epidemic began at the Academy!
…… It wasn’t.
“So, are you going?”
“Are you crazy? The bokchae you have to give is as much as your skills. They say bokchae is an equivalent exchange.”
“Ugh, well. How much is Bokchae worth with Namgoong Min’s skills?”
Not only did the rumor spread that ‘Nam Goong Min is brave’, but also the rumor that ‘the fortune that should be given to him is as great as his skills’ also spread.
Since divination and lucky fortune are equivalent exchanges, the general consensus is that fortune telling is bound to be as great as Namgoong Min’s outstanding divination skills.
Not all students are upper class. Even though most students knew about fortune telling, they had no choice but to be reluctant to go.
But.
“Still…I’m going to go.”
“What!? Where’s your money?”
“With the scholarship I received this time, I will be able to hear at least a word. I will try to pray somehow.”
“Why on earth…?”
“I… Am anxious about the future. I want to get some advice. Isn’t it cheap to think like that?”
Namgoong Min’s fortune telling was not at all untouchable.
Those who can afford the debt. Those who want to receive fortune even if they have to pay a fortune. Those who want to hear advice before making an important choice.
Each story was different.
Simple interest, uncertain future, unrequited love, important choice, worries about school.
Slowly, Namgoong Min’s fortune telling book was becoming the last bastion for academy students.
“Hey, I heard you’re worried.”
“…Uh.”
“You said you were thinking about dropping out.”
“That’s right…….”
“If that’s the case, how about going to a fortune teller instead?”
“I want to go, but I don’t have money. You know that, right?”
“What does it mean to be a good friend? If it’s money, I’ll lend it to you. Come back, you bastard.”
“You…!”
He said, A place that answers any questions about the secrets of the world.
He said, This is the place where the bravest fortune teller in the world is located.
As they say, this is a place that gives advice that solves any problem.
He said, however, it is a place that demands compensation commensurate with its competence.
So, people are saying to be careful and to visit cautiously.
If you ask a fortune teller about the future and secrets, you ask for something in return.

“They say…”
“How did that happen…?”
“Isn’t a good thing a good thing? In fact, I heard that the income from multiple bonds has also increased.”
“That’s true.”
I sighed and took a bite of mixed coffee.
I liked the taste, but now it feels bitter for no reason.
However, the visitor sitting across from us seemed to be smiling the whole time.
“You’re in trouble too, comrade.”
“Please stop using such embarrassing names.”
“Aren’t we comrades who receive the same punishment? Why should we call them brothers?”
“Do you want to get stuck between the tables again?”
“Oh my, it’s such a problem, let’s stop.”
Saint, Raphael Martina.
The evil spirit who was swinging the mace had become an ally and was smiling.
“By the way, can you come to the fortune teller? The church won’t look at it favorably.”
“Rather, it was sent by the church. They told me to receive it as a way to kill time.”
“……Is that okay?”
“Not everyone who is part of the church follows God’s will. I know that I am an extremist who believes in the Bible, so don’t worry.”
“It’s really novel.”
He is a fanatic who knows that he is extreme.
Isn’t this the scariest category?
I laughed, took a shot of mixed coffee, and put it down.
“So, what is your business?”
“……There is a response from Sister Ruina.”
“…It took quite some time.”
It’s already been over a month since I confronted the saint about Eileen’s problem, gave false information to Sister Ruina, and watched her reaction.
However, no matter how far away the church headquarters is from this floating city, it is very strange that a response has come only now.
The saint nodded, perhaps thinking the same thing.
“It seems like there is a secret line of its own that will take some time. If you use the church’s contact network, you are bound to get caught by me.”
“What was the reaction?”
“It’s a success. You could say it caught the bite.”
Nice!
I cheered internally.
The overthrow of the Church of the Saints was the only event I did not play.
There is no help in solving this, be it game knowledge or anything else.
So I started cautiously, but luckily it seems to have worked out well.
“‘I am losing my qualifications as a ‘… Luckily, Sister Ruina and the people behind it seem to believe this. My acting probably also had a big impact.”
“Saint, please continue to postpone. We must continue until they take action.”
“No problem.”
Raphael Martina is losing his status as a
Saint.
It was false information that the saint and I had leaked to Sister Ruina.
This is the best news in the eyes of those who were ruined by the saint, and if it is revealed to be true, it is information that can bring down the saint at once.
For this purpose, the saint continued to act in churches and academies.
‘It was like that in Survival as well.’
No matter how much you fight against a warrior, a saint is not an opponent you can easily defeat.
Even if you are pushed by simple strength, you can keep getting up like a cockroach.
The fact that such a saint was defeated by a warrior in vain was part of the acting.
‘You have to make them believe it gradually.’
The ultimate goal is to have Sister Ruina’s mastermind impose an inquisition on the saint.
To those who claim that Raphael Martina has lost the qualifications to be a
Saint, if he lets up on his acting and shows himself as a
Saint, the game will be over.
He takes the initiative in the name of expelling heretics who doubted the saint, and wipes out the church in one fell swoop…… That was the gist of the plan.
‘Still…… ‘There’s nothing to do.’
Actually, even though the plan seems grand, I don’t do anything.
I just decided on the first piece of false information to give to Sister Ruina.
After that, everything from losing power, inducing the Inquisition, and purifying the church after the trial was the work of the saint and his associates.
All I do is meet with the saint periodically to listen to his progress and say a word or two.
Shouldn’t we do something?
It was a bit of a prick on my conscience, but I guess it wouldn’t be a problem to think about it at that time.
I left everything to my future self and just relaxed in my chair.
Actually, that wasn’t the problem right now.
“Anyway, the rumor is… There’s nothing we can do about it now.”
“Give up, comrade.”
“Please shut your mouth.”
When I think about the rumors, my head hurts.
Obviously, the only thing I asked Hwang Jin-woo, Sasaki Kaede, and Kite etc. Was to promote the fortune telling book to my friends.
How did this happen?
“…Yesterday, I received 10 million won in fortune.”
“Oh, isn’t 10 million won a day worth a lot of money?”
“At least 10 million won per person.”
“……How many people came?”
“There are 10 people.”
100 Million.
This was the money I received just by briefly speaking to 10 people.
Originally, the fortune telling shop I had in mind was something that various characters could visit when they were having troubles and get involved in their character events.
It’s completely different now.
‘Even if you ask my parents about their business, what do I say? ….’
More than anything, the problem was that not only the characters I knew but also characters I had never seen in the game came.
If it was a minor concern, he planned to do something about it through Like he did with Hwang Jin-woo, but when asked about things like his parents’ business, he had nothing to say.
What’s more, I can’t just pass it up when I bring 10 million won as a gift.
So, I solved personal problems with game knowledge and
Observation, and returned the bonds, saying that I had no future for business or stocks.
Even so, there were some people who brought 20 million or 50 million won each as bokchae, so it ended up being 100 million won.
“Well, if it’s a comrade’s point, it’s a skill that I recognize, so I guess I can get that much.”
“……………….”
However, we cannot avoid it forever.
I knew the answer to this problem. I turned my gaze away from the saint and glanced to the side.
That status window floating in the air.
＜1 Hour and 32 minutes left until the job quest appears!＞
‘What is that notice?’
That status window that suddenly appeared this morning foreshadowed a future job quest.
Just like the last quest , If you clear it, your job skills will be strengthened.
That might be able to solve the problem now.
‘In the end, all I can do is do things between the wild and the wild.’
All you have to do is predict the future with game knowledge and obtain information through .
With this, it is clear that difficulties will arise in running a fortune teller in the future.
So even if you really don’t feel like it…… I guess I have no choice but to use the job skill , No, .
As I was lost in thought for a bit, the saint who had finished drinking the mixed coffee stood up.
“Comrade, I’ll just go back now.”
“…Ah, saint, I hope you have a hard time in the future.”
“Comrades too.”
…… That guy has some sense, too. If you see me looking worried and get up right away.
But you stood out in class last time because of that, right? And because of that, you ignored me being bullied, right?
Just thinking about it makes me angry again. When I take the test at the Great Lakes in 10 days, prepare for one more round of teebagging.
“……No one is coming.”
An hour and a half after the saint left. No one is coming.
That’s right, it’s almost midnight right now, so it’s time for everyone to sleep or rest for tomorrow’s class.
Of course, the fortune telling shop would have been closed, so no one would come here.
If it weren’t for the status window, I would have closed the fortune telling shop a long time ago and been watching TV at my base.
It’s a job quest, so you can’t ignore it……
＜20 Seconds left until the job quest starts!＞
…… Ah, it’s about time.
But why does it start at midnight like this? Not even the last survival test.
“5……4……3…….”
Inadvertently, I count down the status window.
See how important it is──
Bam!!!
“──Is Namgoong Min here!!”
“……Yes?”
12 O’clock at night. If you have common sense, it’s time not to visit a fortune teller.
Nevertheless, there was a group of people who kicked in the door.
“……Chairman, it is rude to open the door roughly.”
“You are a beautiful senior.”
“As expected, you are the Chairman! I am impressed by this servant!”
“hahahahaha! That was a knightly stance!”
“……….”
There are three faces that you often see while playing the game, and one helmet.
That group consisting of three men and one armored man…… The student council was clear.
They are led by Lily Whiterose, the student council president and a chivalric madman.
More than anything, it was clear at the time that he was behaving without common sense, such as coming to a fortune teller at midnight.
Even in the game, the student council was a group with one screw missing!
“Namgoong Min junior! This is the first time since I last saw you on the mountain. Have you been a knight?”
“Ah…Yes.”
“A knight does not talk too long! Junior, be sure to remember this!”
“Yep.”
Well, it’s definitely Lily Whiterose.
Seeing it in private like this, it’s worse than I thought.
“So, what’s going on?”
“If a fortune teller comes to your fortune telling shop, there’s only one thing to do! Look at fortune telling!”
“As expected, Chairman, this is a knightly declaration!”
“hahahahaha!”
And what was the blonde boy next to Lily who was flattering her all kinds of things…… Was he a clerk?
I forgot the name.
“Beautiful senior, even at this late hour, your appearance shines!”
“I’m wearing a helmet right now.”
“Still, I can’t hide your beauty.”
“hahahaha, I see! As expected of a knight!”
A male student who acts so grumpily that it makes you feel nauseous is an accountant.
I also forgot the name.
“Chairman, my junior is panicking.”
“Well, since I’m a junior who doesn’t yet have the skills to be a knight, I should show chivalry by giving in as a knight among knights!”
“…Yes.”
The Latino male student sighing and adjusting his glasses is Vice President Samuel Lipson.
It is memorable because it is a role that goes through hard times in the game.
‘Seeing it in person, it’s amazing.’
One chivalrous madwoman, one flattering subordinate, one grumpy subordinate, and one common sense subordinate.
These four are the infamous student council in the game.
The only ones that come out properly are Lily and Samuel.
“Namgoong Min junior! This Lily Whiterose speaks like a knight!”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Yes, please say so.”
“Did you know that the student council president election is just a week away?”
“I know.”
Student president election. This is the event where Lily Whiterose and the student council first appear.
Although it is an event right before the big event called the test at the Great Lakes, it is very memorable in many ways.
But why is that?
“I hope you can help us there!”
“Yes, help…Yes?”
What?
“I heard a rumor about my junior. He is a brave fortune teller who is the closest to chivalry among fortune tellers who lack knighthood!”
“……………….”
“So, please, please tell me whether I can be reappointed as student council president!!”
“……Chairman.”
Are you a politician who visits a shaman during the presidential election?
…… Yes, that’s true.
Anyway, I can’t accept this.
It’s beyond my abilities, and Lily Whiterose was reappointed anyway, so there’s no need to get involved with this crazy student council………
[Job-specific quest:
Student President Lily Whiterose and her student council ask for your help!
She may be a little crazy, but she’s quite capable! Her reappointment is sure to bring peace to the days of Romance Academy!

“Please!! This is bokchae!!!”
Tong.
“I heard the rumor about you! You have to pay a bonus equal to your ability! It’s a small amount, but I tried to raise it from the student council budget!”
“30 Billion.”
“Please take a seat, sir.”
There is a need, um.
I decided to welcome the student council with a happy heart.
