104. Confirmation and Report
Cain Kherson is playing a separate character called Dane Clyde to the outside world.
His personality is nothing short of frivolous.
That is how it should be.
The more you act as an ‘approachable and easy-going person,’ the easier it will be to fit into the Academy.
So to further appeal the concept,
I think I got caught on purpose while playing around at the gambling table with the principal…
I met the wrong person.
“This guy thought he could communicate well, but he’s been playing around since the first game? How dare he attack someone’s back!”
“If it’s not a misunderstanding, it’s a conspiracy! I’m innocent!”
A scuffle running on a parallel line,
Miho holding the hilt of a sword.
Her eyes met hers.
“Instructor Ivan. You’re here at the right time…”
The principal is the highest commanding authority.
Miho is stuck in a deadlock because although she must listen to her orders, common sense dictates that she should not cut off the chairman’s wrists.
Just looking at him, he looked very tired.
The principal issued an ultimatum.
“Ivan, try to convince Miho. This principal is responsible for everything? Do you know how much I walked?”
“How much did you lose?”
“Three gold coins! Thinking about it again makes me mad. Hey, just cut it from the shoulder down!”
“Three gold coins…”
I was born a gamer,
Even in this situation, for a moment I thought, ‘Should I just rely on the situation and really cut my teeth?’
There is no way Miho would really cut it,
Because there was no way Dane would just be cut off.
I took out that amount of gold coins from my pocket,
It was placed on the principal’s table.
“Let’s cool off a little. Would someone as high as the chairman of the board do something like that at an entertainment venue like this?”
“Oh, it’s cheap?”
“It’s a reasonable inference. Cards are ultimately made by people, so sometimes defective products come out.”

“That’s right! Our teacher Ivan knows something!”
“Then, let’s guess.”
From what I heard, it seems like they got caught as soon as the game started, so there were endless ways to get around it.
I picked up the Ace of Spades that Dane had left behind, and in an instant, everyone’s eyes were focused on it.
That fleeting moment,
Zeuk-
I succeeded in swiping one of the scattered cards.
Of course, it would not have been possible to fool Miho and Dane.
Miho kept quiet because she was a normal person who didn’t want to cut off someone’s arm for something like this.
Not to mention Dane.
“The number of cards themselves will be the same. Let’s guess.”
As soon as the words fell, the principal turned on the light in his eyes and guessed the cards, but soon became speechless.
“It’s true. No, wait. It wasn’t…?”
“I understand you’re excited, but let me untie the rope now.”
A man named Ivan Kherson,
At the same time, the image of an instructor has changed significantly.
First of all, I am a human being who also has the perception that I am a b*tch. Thanks to that, I became persuasive.
I know this because I did some gambling when I was young.
This happens often.
Ivan’s argument is,
In the end, it worked.
“…Tsk. I’m sorry.”
“Next time, please speak verbally. “I feel like I’ve aged ten years.”
Successful in persuading the madman.
The principal gave me back the three gold coins I gave him.
It was fortunate that the game fell over as soon as the first game ended.
If you had played normally before and got caught, the excuse that ‘the card was defective in the first place’ would not have worked.
Miho withdrew her hand from the sheath as if waiting for the principal’s words,
A sigh of relief was heard from somewhere.
“Whew… I thought I was seeing real blood…”
When I looked back, I saw Professor Hera sitting in the corner of the room as if she were dead.
There was that gentleman too.
I think he was weighed down by the atmosphere of the other three and instinctively erased his own presence.
“Miho. Can I enter the board instead of you?”
“Of course.”
I naturally took a seat next to Hera.
It seems that it was originally Miho’s position, but it is obvious that these two victims were forcibly mobilized to kill time for Dane and the principal.
Hera frowned and sat down again on the table.
Miho took a couple of steps back with a look of relief on her face.
It seems like both of them just want to leave, but I don’t think those two, who are crazy about entertainment, will ever let that happen.
“Then, do you have a new card?”
“You know. Uh, Ivan. Are you going to hit it instead of Miho?”
“At least, your skills will be more impressive than Instructor Miho’s.”
“Well, Miho lost a bit too. Since you are my lover, try to save your energy.”
“Oh, were you two in a relationship like that? “They say it’s Russell’s two-wheeled carriage, and it’s such a fitting pair.”
I decided to play a card.
Of course, I have no intention of having fun.
What I have to do.
Revealing the truth about the visit of a member of the church from the principal and reporting my intention to Cain.
There are two of them,
I guess we can use this opportunity to kill them all at the same time.
—
So, the gambling scene started with Miho appointed as a guard and spectator.
A place overflowing with dopamine,
It was always noisy and the same wherever we went.
After the principal touched her forehead and thought about it, she added a few more silver coins.
“Raise… Yes, Raise. Ah, Instructor Ivan. What was the question?”
“It’s a sad comment that doesn’t really need to be called a question, but is there anything going on in the church these days?”
“Umm…No, no. I was prepared to be bothered by sending a few priests since it was vacation, but why is it so quiet?”
My guess was correct.
There was no need to modify the plan.
“That’s strange. “I think I saw a priest as I was passing by.”
I looked at the principal very subtly,
She replied, chewing something without thinking.
“I guess I saw it wrong. “Those gentlemen may be a bit annoying, but they are not the ones who try to cross the line.”
“Hmm, I think I definitely saw it, but…”
“I said no, you idiot.”
I looked at Dane.
We haven’t decided on hand signals for each other, but
Maybe it’s because they are the owners of the same stigma.
Or maybe it’s because we share the same blood.
What I want to convey,
I think I understood it perfectly.
Towards me who caught the existence of the religious cult,
Dain nods and smiles.
“Hoo. Professor Emeritus Ivan, were you a believer?”
“That’s not true, but I’ve become a bit more interested in it lately.”
“The body is crying out for faith. “It may sound presumptuous, but I wouldn’t ignore the voice of my soul.”
While rubbing your chin as if you were interested,
He did not take his eyes off me.
“When you become a religious person, everyone speaks in similar ways. Mr. Chairman, are you taking speech training at the church?”
“I feel so sorry for you for not being able to recognize spiritual attraction.”
“Look at me. “I can’t say something like that in my right mind.”
A principal who knows nothing,
A sly Dane.
And me.
We were having the same yet different conversation.
Dain opened his mouth again.
“Anyway, it’s a shame. “If a priest from the religious order had really come, he would have rushed to comfort the soul right away.”
This is what the words he said with his eyes fixed on me meant this.
I asked if the target exists.
He’s asking if he will step out of his line.
If Adela hadn’t gotten involved, I would have nodded to her.
“This is unfortunate. “I also have business with the priest of the church.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Yes. “Things are a bit complicated.”
“Then, I will gladly give up my turn.”
“No, you people. “How much longer do I have to talk about the priest who never came to feel relieved?”
Because it was not a problem that could be solved by simply killing him, I conveyed my inner message that I would take care of it and that you should not step forward.
He looked puzzled, but nodded.
That’s it. I checked everything,
Dain’s solo actions have also been prevented.
Once this board is cleared, I will wake up naturally.
As I was thinking that, I heard a lament coming from next to me.
“Ugh, I’m suffocating…”
“What, Hera? “You don’t want to do it?”
“Oh, no! No!”
“It’s not your turn. “I guess I’ll have to risk more or die.”
“Lord, I’m going to die…”
Even though I don’t have the courage of Miho,
A poor soul who was forcibly dragged to the board.
“Ah.”
“Huh? Professor Emeritus Ivan. “Why are you doing that?”
“I’m sorry, but I think I need to get up soon.”
“Huh? Are you going to jump out?”
He says so, but the principal seems to be more disappointed about the situation itself than about the financial loss.
I told her.
“It’s a long-awaited vacation, so shouldn’t I try using the lab?”
“Oh, if you say that, I can’t catch you.”
“Hey, Ivan! Did you say you’re doing research?!”
As soon as the word research came out of my mouth,
Hera sitting next to me jumped up.
“Keu, keuhm! Professor Emeritus Ivan, that’s good. “There is a joint research topic I would like to propose to you, and I also-“
It was written on that face, ‘Please take me out.’
Beams will come out of the eyes.
But unfortunately, I have no intention of going to the lab. I was just making an excuse.
And, even if that is not an excuse…
“This is for 4 people, but if we go to Hera, there will be 3 people left?”
“…Ugh.”
“How about this? Should I cut off my wrist and control it with magic? Huh? Do I really have to do that?”
“I’m sorry.”
The only person the principal would obediently let go was Ivan.
Hera nodded and sat down.
However, I also looked at Hera.
And she spoke in passing.
“Joint research. Interesting.”
“…Eh? What?”
“I’ll find some time later.”
Hera is not needed to get over this event right now.
However, it was a bit disappointing that she was treated as an extra.
Professor Hera, because she was objectively a huge elite.
At that age, he was serving as a professor at Russell, so it was safe to say that he was a genius among geniuses.
Beyond even her excellent abilities, her aspirations bordering on idealism are holding her back.
An unlucky person who has not been able to achieve mediocre results so far.
If you maintain a proper relationship with her,
It was clearly a space left with the calculation that it would be helpful someday.
“Really? Are we really doing joint research?”
“Yes.”
You probably didn’t know that I would agree,
Her face shining with her eyes shining.
The principal, who was looking at Hera and me blankly, He said, shuffling the cards.
“Joint research. Joint research is good.”
“Yes.”
“Within a tightly closed lab door, two intellectuals enjoy an endless discussion, putting aside the concept of time. It’s fascinating.”
“Oh, that sounds incredibly romantic. Aren’t those two also a man and a woman in their prime?”
“Ah, you crazy… Let’s just shut up. How are you still alive with something like that?”
The principal took a look at Miho, who was standing behind me.
The advice was more serious than ever.
“Ivan.”
“Yes.”
“I believe in your conversion, so you can listen to this with one ear and ignore it, but I’ll leave it at that.”
One look at Hera,
I turned my head and took a look at Miho,
She made eye contact with me for the last time.
“I hope that the first major accident I will deal with this year will at least not be a passionate murder by a swordsman who was distracted by his lover’s betrayal.”
Ah.
It might seem that way.
I was worried because the principal didn’t know what was going on.
I have not the slightest interest in Hera.
I’m not really dating Miho-
Sweet…
In an instant, I felt a chill down my back.
The tingling sensation was enough to make me recognize it as life.
A fox beast holding my shoulder.
She spoke in a lower tone than usual.
“Listen carefully.”
He showed the ultimate in method acting.
—
After many twists and turns, I was able to escape from the principal’s office.
Well, now all that’s left is to do.
The guest who enters the office where Adela should be,
All I can do is welcome you with all my might.
It may be a little harsh, though.
