“You already know the story that the seven gods created the world. However, contrary to what is popularly known, there is a saying that in fact, great beings are eight.”
“Is that the dice god?”
“It’s called that. In fact, no one knows the deity and name of that god. In the first place, the existence itself is extremely concealed.”
“Why?”
At my question, Torneo seemed lost in thought for a moment.
“I do not know. Only the upper echelons of the church headquarters and a few members of the Genesis Church know for sure about its existence. Perhaps there is a reason why it should not be known.”
“is it.”
“By the way, the star I gave you. It is said to be a fragment of a star that fell with the god of dice when he descended to this earth.”
“Fallen Star: Estella” had that kind of setting.
Even a simple material item has a story of its own.
It was a moment when I felt my sincerity.
“Having picked up the star by chance, I was convinced that there must be an eighth god somewhere in the world. And I entered the Genesis Church… .”
“You lost to me.”
“That’s right. That’s all I know. I think Viktor knows better whether this is a false story or a true story.”
Torneo doesn’t know much either.
Well, this guy is at the bottom of the heretic ‘Genesis Church’.
So it becomes the boss of Act 2, which is the beginning.
If you want to learn more facts, shouldn’t you meet and talk with the founder or saint of the Genesis Church?
Nonetheless, my doubts have been resolved.
I got a separate one.
I was about to get up from my seat and decided to ask one more question.
“This is the last question.”
“What is?”
“How old are you?”
“I am twenty-four this year.”
“… … .”
Is it real?
I thought you were at least in your early thirties.
A few years younger than the original me.
But the face is so crazy… .
“… Well, be strong.”
“If you happen to pick up these fallen stars from Ludens, bring them to me. We can process it into something usable.”
Processing a fallen star?
It’s new content.
I don’t know what kind of stuff they’ll make, but I’m looking forward to it.
“I get it.”

When I returned to the club room, Nike was there.
“Victor, they say you can’t spin a spider’s web!”
“heard.”
Nike seemed shocked to hear that the wolf spider, Kunky, is a type of spider that does not spin webs.
However, Kyeong-kyeong is already a family member of this club room.
You shouldn’t throw it away just because you can’t pull out a spider’s web.
He cleans well and catches mice well.
anyway.
Nike and I had an interim settlement.
“My debt has also been reduced by 20 million Renae!”
“yes.”
“And maybe it’s because I’ve been picking herbs lately, so my «Pharmacy» skill has turned into an «Advanced Pharmacy» skill! I think I can make various potions now!”
“That is a good thing.”
You could make a potion if you had the Pharmacy skill, right?
From now on, I think I can leave the potions and other beverages to Nike.
“So, while I was talking about it, I made a potion once! how is it? smells good! The name of the potion is Roe deer medicine. There was a lot of roe deer grass in it!”
A beaker from the old teacher’s laboratory.
Fluorescent liquid overflows inside it.
So, I was afraid to ask what kind of potion this deer medicine was.
Nike, however, put his nose to the beaker, sniffed it, and shuddered.
“Huh… ! Mana grows rapidly… ! Mana pumps… ! This is a deer medicine… !”
“… … .”
he’s a weird guy
Arnoi also stuck out his tongue at Nike’s bizarre appearance.
“that… . Is it a legal drug… ? For some reason, it seems to be a drug that shouldn’t be brought into this Ludens… !”
Did you leave the mysterious Nike that you danced with me in the mini Ludens?
said Nike.
“If I raise my pharmacy skill more, I don’t know if I can make a transformation potion! Or turn into a wolf! You can transform into a bear and fight! Just like my dad!”
“That’s kind of cool.”
It is expected.
And within me, Nike’s father became more and more unknown.
“I, Arnoi, have also successfully mastered ‘Nymph Vigi Running Away’ and ‘Nymph Vigi Running Away and Catching Fish’ at this forest school… !”
… It might be good to say something about this.
So I just nodded, “Good job.”
Anyway, it was a successful midterm settlement.
The work unwinds like a scroll.
Then Arnoi asked.
“But Nike is already strong enough… ! Wouldn’t it be enough without a transformation potion… ?”
“yes?”
“The thorns spewing from the floor… ! It was a very nymph-friendly and nature-friendly skill… !”
“That, that… .”
Nike was very upset.
Didn’t he think Arnoi had discovered his skill?
Suddenly, I remembered that Arnoi was excited to spread the Minotaur’s fight to the newspaper department’s Daily Rumor.
If that article goes out, wouldn’t Nike’s situation be quite difficult?
Nike trembled as I explained it.
“What… ? It would be a big deal if it became a newspaper article… !”
“It seemed so. But at this point, I have no choice but to ask. Nike, why do you want to hide your talents and talents?”
“that’s… .”
Nike was a great druid.
Is it really necessary to hide it?
Arnoy said about it.
“I think it’s because druids are oppressed in the west… ! Westerners keep away from nature… !”
Was there such a story?
The western part of the mainland is a strange place.
Arnoy adds a few words.
“However, I have heard that the West is the most beautiful and nymph-friendly land of all… ! Originally, I heard that it was a land loved by many spirits… !”
“Isn’t it now?”
“Maybe it’s because of the trampling of this and that after the War of the Roses decades ago… ? Above all, the de Winter family, who occupied the Palace of Flowers, the home of the west, has no respect for the forest… !”
like that.
anyway.
By the way.
We headed to the newspaper department.
It was because it was necessary to ask how articles about the Minotaur incident were being written.
Even though it was Sunday, Daily Rumor was writing a manuscript on an old typewriter.
“You want me to edit the article? It hasn’t been printed yet, so there’s nothing difficult about it. Then, omit the part where Nike is active? A student from Class C achieves a dazzling achievement-. It’s a pity that it’s good for an article.”
“Delete it.”
“I want, Victor bastard. How to act tighter than when you were on the executive committee. Seeing the nice Miss Nike, I put up with it.”
The article has been amended in this way.
I think I did a good job feeding the daily guy.
so the next day.
It is a morning where various newspaper articles are fluttering.
“A second grader defeated a minotaur at forest school?”
“Is this real?”
Things that happened at the forest school were featured in the Ludens newspaper in their own way.
“How important this Arnoy played. It’s written here… ! With this, graduation at the end of this year is a matter of course… !”
Arnoy was really happy.
But I was also a little sad.
The part of Nike’s activity was lumped together to the point of saying ‘Ms. Nike helped me in this and that.’
Only then will it be less than 10% of the actual activity.
But Nike liked it.
“I’m relieved now!”
Rest assured now.
The problem occurred around lunchtime in the afternoon when everyone thought so.
“Are you Nike Mokey Mokey?”
Someone came to the convenience store that was selling lunch.
It was a woman with a long sword at her waist.
He has long, elegant, blue hair.
The gaze is also calm.
Is the atmosphere a bit like Victoria?
Of course, the chest was much smaller.
Instead, she is wearing white stockings.
white stockings
it’s unique
Nike, whose name was suddenly called, feels puzzled and asks.
“… I’m Nike Mokey Mokey? Who are you?”
“I am the Akasha Keeper of Class 3 B-3. I am a member of the organization ‘Vigilante’ that protects the order of this Ludens.”
“Ah, you were a senior… .”
Vigilante.
I know these guys too well.
It can be seen as a private organization of armed students.
It is also an organization that manages the main battle system, ‘Duel’.
Why do guys like that look for Nike?
Isn’t Nike the furthest thing from a duel?
I’m already busy doing the lunch business.
I asked.
“Why are the vigilantes looking for Nike?”
“Miss Nike Mokey Mokey faces several charges. There have been a lot of reports about illegally uploading LPs at this forest school.”
“Report? who?”
“That cannot be disclosed according to the regulations.”
Who framed Nike?
The class C students who bullied Nike came to mind.
that’s what those guys do
The problem was that Vigilante’s solution was rather radical.
Vigilante’s solution is ‘Is there a problem? The two of them fight and see the match.’
“Miss Nike, if you want to prove your innocence, the quickest way would be to agree to this duel. Of course, you have the right to refuse according to the rules, so think carefully. By the way, the opponent decided to step in, Ms. Magna Delos from Class C. “
Magna Delos.
It’s a name I’ve never heard of.
Given that he’s a student in Class C, there’s a high probability that he’s talking nonsense.
Nike sighs and sighs.
“I didn’t do anything negative! However, this duel was rejected… . “
“good.”
I nodded.
Then Nike was very upset.
“B, Viktor… !”
“Okay.”
If it’s Nike, the students in class C can easily win.
Even without druid skills.
‘Pyeongtae Enio’.
‘Water Ball Victoria’
I can assure you because I’ve played the game for hundreds of hours even with the odd tree above.
There must be a tree for ‘entertainment’ rather than a main skill tree for Nike.
If you just figure out what it is, it’s like a C class student. It’s easy.
Akasha in white stockings, who identified herself as Vigilante, nodded.
“Then I got the answer. We will announce the place and time soon. By the way, it’s okay to save a great warrior, so you’d better plan your strategy well.”
Shuk.
Akasha Keeper leaves the seat with her long straight hair flying.
The uniform was a pretty cool character.
I feel like a heretic.
I need to memorize your name
As I raised my new achievement points to 88.2 in my head, Nike made a fuss.
“Victor! what to do I just took the duel! By any chance, did Viktor try to act as a great warrior instead of me?”
“no. Only then will the image of you being carried by me not be resolved. Nike, take this opportunity to show the people of Ludens what kind of person you are.”
Dueling events are crowded with people.
The nearby NPCs were buzzing around.
“And Arnoy, we pick corn.”
When people gather, we have to sell popcorn.
