I Became The Academy’s Narrow-Eyes chapter 101

101 - true understanding

101 – true understanding

the one wearing the mask.

This is one of Huivien’s favorite romantic novels.

and Jess.

He is the male protagonist of the masked man.

Jess is an extremely ordinary person with an intelligent but weak impression befitting her job as a librarian.

However, in fact, his true identity is the heir to a swordsmanship family that was falsely accused and exterminated as a traitor.

Jess thoroughly hid her identity and the swordsmanship she wielded.

If either of them is discovered, they will be accused of traitors and will lose the daily life they have so hard to find.

Then one day.

Pia, the female protagonist, a girl from an aristocratic family Jess longs for, is in danger.

Jess gets into trouble.

If you use the forbidden swordsmanship, you can save Pia.

Instead, he will again be driven around as a traitor.

Jess didn’t want to lose her daily routine.

However, he did not want to leave Pia alone in danger.

After thinking about it, Jess comes up with an idea.

It is to create a fake identity that allows you to use the forbidden swordsmanship to your heart’s content.

Thus, the one wearing the mask was born.

Whenever Pia was in danger, a masked person appeared without fail and saved her from danger.

The masked man was a traitor.

But he walked the path of a hero.

With the sword of the forbidden traitor, he defeated villains and helped the weak and the good.

A monster that appeared in front of Huivien’s party.

Just as he defeated terrible monsters and saved them with the forbidden power of black magic.

Is that why?

Huivien suddenly remembered a scene from The Masked Man.

The moment when the heroine, Pia, is in a desperate crisis.

It was a scene where Jess, the male protagonist who was with Pia, disappeared and appeared as a masked man to help her.

It was surprisingly similar to the situation Huivian was in now.

“Ceylon…?”

So, without realizing it, Hwibien looked at the monster and called out his name.

Just like how Pia looked at the masked man and called Jess’ name.

“…!”

Then, immediately embarrassed, he covered his mouth.

‘What am I saying?’

I guessed from the previous battle.

The monster in front of him was one of the greatest wizards on the continent and at the same time might be on a similar level to his mother, who was also strong.

A black magician who has reached the level of transcendence.

The identity of that stupid, pathetic, ugly, spoiled, stupid, and irritating man is a black magician who has reached the level of transcendence?

It was unbelievable.

‘uh…’

Hwibien, who had been denying and denying her thoughts like that, was once again taken aback.

-The masked one is Jess. Nonsense.

The image of herself denying the connection between Ceylon and the monster was very similar to that of the female lead, Pia, who felt and denied the connection between the male lead Jess and the masked man.

‘Crazy… I need to read some novels in moderation.’

Of course I know.

How foolish it is to overlap your own situation with the situation in the novel.

knowing

Huivien couldn’t stop the foolish accident and continued.

– How can I believe your story of approaching me while hiding the fact that you are the son of a filthy traitor?

I beg you. Just say nothing and disappear from my face. What doesn’t accuse you. That’s the last thing I can do for you.

-Jess, why… ! Why did you save me!? I treated you so harshly… ! Jess! No! Open your eyes, Jess!!! You can’t go like this!!! Saying thank you… I couldn’t even say sorry… ! ah… no…

Pia, the heroine of the masked man, was engrossed in the fact that Jess had hidden from her the fact that he was a survivor of a traitor family, and could not see the man as he really was.

I couldn’t believe all the actions and emotions he showed me, and I didn’t accept the character of Jess itself.

Later, he realizes that the reason why Jess was accused of being a traitor was a false accusation due to a conspiracy plotted by a political opponent, and realizes that the actions and feelings he showed towards her were sincere.

By then it was already too late.

While reading The Masked Man, Huivien felt a sense of frustration and contempt for such a Pia.

If it were me, I would never have done that.

I think I would have listened to Jess’ story first.

Therefore, Huvien assumed a receptive attitude.

What if the identity of that monster is really Ceylon?

That would surely be a shocking fact hard to accept.

Ceylon’s identity is a black magician who handles forbidden powers.

To think he was hiding his identity as a black magician and deceiving people.

but.

That black magician saved himself.

therefore.

Wouldn’t that black magician, in fact, be essentially a good being like the one wearing the mask?

Just like Jess was unjustly accused of being a traitor.

Wasn’t there an unavoidable situation that Ceylon had to become a black magician?

‘Come to think of it, then-‘

Huvien remembered that Ceylon was embarrassed when he announced that he would participate in the dungeon raid.

At that time, Ceylon had said that because Huvien had been resolutely participating in the dungeon raid, she couldn’t entrust the dungeon raid to the person she had in mind.

‘Originally, I was planning to simply attack the dungeon using the power of black magic, but the plan went wrong because of me.’

A hypothesis popped into Huivien’s mind.

***

Ceylon- worried about Huivien.

One day, I’m afraid that Huivien will activate the power contained in the necklace that he cherishes and start raiding the dungeon.

So I’m afraid that I’ll be attacked by the terrible monsters of the black magicians nestled deep in the dungeon.

So, Ceylon tried to clear the dungeon on behalf of Huivien.

However, Huvien stubbornly insisted on participating in the dungeon raid.

Ceylon is in trouble.

Who would believe it if there was a black magician monster with transcendental power beyond 7 stars in a 5-star dungeon?

Besides, it would be suspicious for a mere commoner to have such tremendous information.

Ceylon pondered over and over again.

Then, in the end, he comes up with an idea.

It is to create a fake identity that can freely use forbidden power.

So, Ceylon appeared as a true Harassin at the decisive moment.

Killed a monster using the power of black magic.

And by turning all of this into true Harasin’s plan, Ceylon’s crime of endangering people with false information was also put on the false identity.

why?

Simple.

To protect his daily life while helping the woman he loves.

Just like Jess, the male lead in The Masked One.

***

It was perfect.

In Huivien’s own opinion, the hypothesis he came up with was perfect for this situation.

Ceylon attacked this dungeon while taking the risk of losing his daily life.

why?

It is determined.

Because I don’t want to be in danger by clearing this dungeon without Ceylon.

Then why?

Why didn’t I want to put myself in danger while clearing this dungeon?

It is determined.

because i’m worried

because you adore me

That is why he was for me even while dedicating his life.

‘Upset… !’

Huivien smirked at the displeasure(?).

“what?”

Hwibien, who had been in delusion for a long time, was in agony.

When the agony was over, she finally came to her senses when she felt the numerous gazes directed at her.

All attention in the place was focused on her.

Because she fell into deep anguish after doing an unknown act of calling the monster Ceylon.

“Ceylon… ?”

“Come to think of it- where the hell did Ceylon-kun go!?”

“Oops- Ceylon!? Ceylon!!!”

However, no one has reached the same conclusion as Huvienne – no possibility.

They belatedly began looking inside the cave.

Looking at them, Huivien felt a sense of elation.

‘I didn’t know this guy’s identity- No, I’m the only one who doubts… ?’

It was as if another private yet special world had been created in this world, in which only the man and himself were included.

of course!

All of this is just a possibility.

Huivien was actively looking forward to such a possibility – no, just worried.

Huivian questioned the monster with such worries (?).

“Where is Ceylon?”

A black magician at the level of transcendence-

The party admired Hwibien’s courage to treat an existence that claims to be Hara in a normal way.

No matter how much he knew he wasn’t an enemy, he treated a warlock of that level normally.

It wasn’t easy.

At their reaction, the monster shook his head and looked at the others.

“We, the ‘true’ Harasin, are observers. tuner. shadow soon. Dedicated in places invisible and unreachable. It does not possess like the light, and does not covet like the darkness. Light must not bow down to the shadow like this.”

The monster paid homage to Huivien’s courage with a voice as if a deep abyss were igniting with self.

“… !”

With that powerful voice, Daltasian’s face became deeply enlightened.

“… ”

“… ”

and others.

The strong wariness and fear that stood in their faces as they looked at the monster were being diluted.

The monster was clearly an evil being who wielded forbidden power – a black magician.

From noble mtl dot com

However, the monster saved people from danger with its forbidden power.

And don’t ask for anything in return

Neither does it force respect and awe.

On the contrary, he shows respect to those he saved.

The monster they could see now was a warlock and Harasin.

It was a being worthy of hostility, darkness itself.

However, its essence was closer to pure light than any power they had ever experienced.

Values entrenched in them.

There was a very slight gap there.

If done well, it is a gap that only one warlock and Harasin can squeeze through.

It was a minor but significant change for some.

It was the moment when the right-handed people were born.

“No, so where is Ceylon?”

Either that or not.

Huvien questioned the monster with an annoyed expression.

The party was astonished at Huivien’s attitude.

How could you treat that being like that even after seeing that series of appearances?

Have you not understood the true nature of that mystical being?

It was the opposite.

Huivien’s actions were because he understood the nature of that mysterious being better than anyone else.

Huivien is considering a possibility.

She reflexively thought of Ceylon shaping up inside that mask.

With that slippery face.

‘Ah, why are you so annoying!?’

Then, I felt an unbearable humiliation.

It was an absolutely huge flow for someone.

First.

It was the moment when the understanding of Ceylon was born.

    She became genre savvy and comes closer to the truth

    I want her mom in the harem.

  3. In a way she’s using a novel’s plot to deduce another novel’s plot

  4. PolarBearPunch says:

    This girl is the smartest character in this story… either that or Ceylon is such a cliche that only a girl addicted to romance novels can somewhat understand him.

  5. Arcus 101 Arcus 101 says:

    Well if you remove the romantic part of her theory, she got pretty close, pretty much on point.
    He did make a fake identity to be able to use his power freely(though she got the timeline wrong), he did plan on doing it alone with his ability, and he did frame his secret identity so he wouldn’t get blamed. Is this what you would call trope savvy?

    It seems like reading novels increase our overthinking capabilities 🗿
