091. Aren kidnapping case (2)
For a saintess’ meal, it was not light, even shabby.
crusty bread and soup.
This was almost the only meal allowed to the saintess candidate.
If you set your mind to it, you could eat something that would make your upper legs bend, but Belle didn’t have that luxury.
No, I didn’t exactly enjoy it. didn’t want it
Everything she wears, eats, and spends is church money. Every time you write, you owe a debt to the church.
In fact, there was no way the church would be condescending to such a thing.
The debt spoken of here is a kind of debt of the mind.
Right before Bell died of starvation on the street, the only place to feed and sleep right now was the convent.
I went in unknowingly with the mind to live and see, but I had to pray to an unknown god every day in an ascetic life, and I had to use my behavior and words carefully.
Belle dreams of becoming a merchant someday, earning money without wanting to, and eating delicious food to her heart’s content.
For her, life in a convent was an unsuitable outfit.
‘crying. I’m dying of frustration.’
When she is alone, it’s a habit she spits out.
Since she, who had no religious beliefs at all, became a candidate for the saintess, how full of spirits she must have felt.
‘Isn’t the pope crazy? What the hell are you looking at?’
I was thinking of escaping from the church as soon as possible, but now I can’t even take it off.
However, Bell did not give up. All she had to do was wait for the day she graduated from the academy and was officially designated as a saint.
At that time, I really receive a revelation from God… … . Belle, who had no religious beliefs, would never become a real saint.
So, I was going to hold on until I graduated from the academy. While saving money to avoid getting caught up in the church.
I don’t want to be in debt to others, so I’m saving it, but the reaction of the priests was amazing.
– Truly a saintess candidate! I was impressed by how he continued his ascetic life.
– What matters is the soul, not the body. Eating soul food is more rewarding.
-Now, let’s pray together. Following the example of the candidate saint.
It’s time to indulge.
When I arrived at the academy and met the vice principal and talked about admissions, I realized that I had to spend three years at the stuffy academy.
In particular, damn bread.
Tears covered my eyes when I thought of having to eat only cheap bread every day when I wasn’t using the student cafeteria.
“… … Do you really want to pay for the treatment?”
Now that my thoughts have reached this far, there is a man who naturally comes to mind.
He’s someone I happened to know.
The first time I saw him, he was a bad person who pushed me and left without an apology, and the second time I found out that he was a cadet at the same academy.
And something I just found out today.
“The famous Blackfire?”
Blackfire was very popular in this church.
It was a family that the church regarded as enemies, so even Bell, who only dozed off in history class, knew the name.
But lately, things have gotten better. I think I spent too much money… … . Have their lands been recognized as holy by the church?
“It’s really funny.”
The under-eyes were dark and the eyes were dark. Besides, it was a completely different move from the person who was so white that he was even pale.
This is why human images cannot be trusted.
well, i’m not interested
The important thing is that Blackfire has a lot of money.
“Enough… … Wouldn’t it be okay to receive the treatment fee?”
I don’t ask for much, just asking for a meal is okay, right? Would you have too much money?
Pizza who is famous here at the academy?
Even smelling the savory cheese made my limbs tremble. Aren’t you going to ask me to pay for the smell? while doing.
“Saeng, now that I think about it, it’s disgusting!”
After pushing a person that hard and leaving without an apology!
When I first found out it was Blackfire, then it is! And I nodded my head at the notoriety.
As I was diligently trying to get eaten by Aren, I felt a sense of shame.
“… … Me too.”
I’m not in a position to insult others.
have no faith Let alone miracles or blessings, they cannot even memorize prayers properly. I just entered the church to live right now.
But she became a saint. Isn’t that actually cheating? against that many people.
“huh. When did I ask you to become a saint?”
I was sweeping the church yard as usual, but I was suddenly dragged away and became a candidate.
I felt guilty that I might be cheating on the church and its believers.
“… … I feel bad too.”
Bell had a complicated situation of her own.
Who would have known that a nun who could not memorize a single prayer would become a saint?
When I thought of acting as a blessed, faithful candidate in the future, Bell felt that the road ahead was bleak.
If he is found out that he is an impostor, he will be in big trouble, let alone get kicked out.
“I do not know… … Let’s eat the pitzza and die.”
Even if you go, a piece of pit jja is fine, right?
“Ha, it’s a perfect day to go to a restaurant.”
Bell laughed self-deprecatingly and chewed on the tough bread.
* * *
“ha.”
I have a bad headache.
I never thought the snowball I went to for the ‘Ghost of Herace Castle’ mission would grow this big.
The cost of drinking honey once instead of Ackerman was too great.
“The more I think about it, the more angry I get.”
is this going to be like this?
The climax of the third act, which should have been held before the final exams, came about before the start of the semester.
My heart was complicated because I had no idea what would happen tomorrow.
Like it or not, the fact that the impeachment trial of Pompey was brought forward was because of me.
I need to take responsibility and fix it.
no… … must be returned unconditionally.
First of all, I have to testify in the hope that nothing will happen tomorrow.
route is determined.
It was necessary to raise the level of the cadets to the next level in order to wage war against monsters more easily in the future.
It’s good to choose Pompeius and taste the power of the ‘Orb’ in the final chapter, but as expected, putting the main characters’ abilities on top was a little more advantageous for attacking.
Each route has its pros and cons, but there is no choice because it is a situation where you have to choose right away.
In the future, I have no choice but to take a route that is a little more passable and easier to cope with various situations.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had a good rest this semester.”
I clicked my tongue and opened the door to my newly assigned dormitory.
“… … ?”
A presence was felt in the room. There is someone.
He must be my roommate, did he arrive early? He’s a pretty ambitious guy.
“Hick. Oh, how are you!!!”
My roommate, who made eye contact with me, stood at attention as soon as he saw me and shouted loudly.
what is this guy
“who… … ?”
First of all, I was wary of the embarrassingly loud voice and exaggerated movements.
Finding a roommate as comfortable as Viktor is like picking stars from the sky.
“I-I! This is Jade Argen, a freshman in combat!”
This blonde haired green-eyed boy who resembles Viktor introduced himself as Jade.
“Jade?”
“Yes, yes!”
a guy i know
He’s the most usable guy among the 283rd combat freshmen.
He is a terrible practice bug who longs for Ackerman and only trains hard to follow him.
“But why are you here… … ?”
Without realizing it, the words came out in vain. Damn, it’s a lie.
“Yes, old? Sin, sorry! get out… … Will there be?”
Jade asked, putting her hand on her backpack.
“The words came out wrong. No, why are you looking at me like that?”
did you do something wrong to me When I gave him a suspicious look, Jade drew in his breath and said.
“No, no!”
“… … .”
what the hell
This guy, who was strong wherever he went, asked why he was doing this, and Jade finally confessed.
“I am Blackfire… … I was nervous because of that.”
“Yes.”
“Am I scared?”
“Yes, yes! no. Rumors are so nasty! Sin, sorry!”
Jade answered with a strong discipline. I didn’t even hit it, but it looks like that.
Well, even in my memory, Jade was like a new recruit who just joined the army.
“Wherever you go, monsters cling to you, you beat the Witch of the Crimson Flame single-handedly, and even threatened the church?”
“yep.”
“Are there rumors that all of this is because of the demon worship?”
“… … .”
This time, it was difficult to answer, so I answered after a pause.
“Eh, the last thing will be a malicious joke. It wasn’t that serious of a nuance.”
“The image is still garbage.”
“… … Wrong!”
I don’t know how the hell this rumor started to spread, but it wasn’t entirely false.
‘Isn’t it half right?’
Well, that’s not what matters. This absurd rumor is spreading among freshmen.
‘No. As far as freshmen know… … .’
It’s something you already know.
My image was going to hell with sinabro. Among my classmates, it seemed like they washed it well, but at this level, it’s not the starting point, it’s a minus.
“Who did you hear from?”
“I’m from the countryside, but looking at the fact that it has spread there… … I don’t know… … !”
“Hmm.”
Not one or two people hated me in the first place, it was possible. We cannot rule out the possibility that it was a malicious rumor created with the intention of burying me from the beginning.
No, it was like a rumor that someone deliberately made. It’s pretty specific, and I can feel the intense malice.
‘What… … I don’t care about that at all.’
Are you used to playing the villain?
What would a native do like that? On the contrary, it wasn’t bad because if you were afraid of me and avoided me, nothing bothering me would happen.
It’s enough if you look good only to the really important people around you or professors.
A solid human relationship is an important law.
by the way.
“How long are you going to stay so alert?”
All I saw was uncomfortable.
“ah! that, that… … .”
“Be comfortable. I don’t hit.”
At least roommates have to stay together for a year, so there was a need to clear up misunderstandings.
.
.
.
.
.
“Is that true?”
“uh.”
“I never dreamed of it! As it turns out, the black fire of the vicious rumors was a combat senior!”
“Why don’t you take out that bastard’s ugly side?”
After talking for about 30 minutes and clearing up the misunderstanding, it was Jade who expressed a certain amount of friendliness.
Originally, he was friendly and not a bad friend, so it didn’t take long to become close.
Could this be how Viktor felt when he welcomed his freshman roommate?
When I realized that I was a ‘senpai’, I suddenly had the thought that I should do something better, so I said a lot in an unresponsive way.
He wouldn’t be friendly enough to drink and become friends like Viktor, but this was a pretty finite attitude.
“yep! Hehe. Please take good care of me, senpai!”
“… … okay.”
I heard seniors say Time flies.
Jade said that she wanted to ask me a lot, and that she was excited to be roommates with a combat senior.
Originally, I knew that the tension was somewhat high, but after becoming a roommate and even talking about private things, this guy is as talkative as Viktor.
‘It would be worth watching if these two were roommates.’
We exchanged a few words, and the time passed quickly.
it’s time to sleep
Tomorrow is the day to stand on the testimony stand, take the side of Eins, and impeach Pompey.
The final chapter of Act 3 came suddenly.
It was embarrassing, but I couldn’t skip this.
‘She eats mustard while crying.’
It’s going to be a tiring day. Mentally, the energy consumption will be quite large.
Worrying about what might happen.
Still, I have dinner plans with Sianna in the evening after work is over.
Visiting the new menu of ‘Warriors Pitzza’, which has become an almost regular event now.
During vacation, Ciana promised to go to the first day of the start to sing.
‘Seeing Sianna deliciously eat pitzza, that must be healing too.’
Because it’s a beauty that heals just by looking at it.
“Well, then! I will turn off the lights!”
“uh.”
“Sleep comfortably. Seniors!”
Suddenly, the atmosphere is an army.

Necrotula
Windsorbing Tears
Torma’s Trial
Purifier
Eight Tree Shield
Elemental Bomb x2
shadow hand
Acheron
Ansura’s Jade Jewel
Liana’s Force Field Generator
Doombia’s 8-Hour Prophecy
It’s been a year since I fell to the academy.
When I checked the items I had collected, I could confidently say that it was not a bad year.
‘I only collected net worth.’
In terms of games, most of them are cheat-level items. It’s a scam to collect just one, but it goes without saying that there are several.
He was a hidden item, not to mention Necrotula, and a symbol of my identity.
The Tears of Windsorbing or the Trial of Torma are the best cost-effective items that I use regularly.
Purifier, Acheron, and Eight Tree Shield are the strongest arms given only to protagonists.
Diamon’s power, Shadow Hand, should not be used if possible, but it can be said to be a trump card.
Aside from that, I’m confident that I’ve only collected a lot of hard-to-find items, but if this goes well, Ains said that he would like to give me his treasured items as a gift.
If it’s a big man like Eins, the treasured items must be amazing. My mouth is drooling all the time.
I suddenly experienced the highlight of the third act from the beginning, and as I pondered over how to overcome it well, I came to a conclusion.
thorough preparation.
You have to be well prepared so that you can respond to the variables as well as possible. I’ve been preparing well so far, which is why I’ve brought it this far.
It will be the same in the future. As long as I’m prepared, things go smoothly.
It’s a headache since Ackerman keeps getting away from the main story, but what can I do.
I have no choice but to use my head more and prepare thoroughly. As a result, I had to check the items I had again. What is needed or lacking in the future. Thinking about when and where to use it.
No matter what happens in the future, just looking at my splendid collection gives me confidence that I will be able to overcome it somehow.
‘… … .’
By the way… … .
Why are you so anxious?
Even if a monster appeared right away, he was confident enough to easily slice it up.
Aside from my confidence that I could get through anything, my insecurities continued to plague me. I guess it’s kind of intuition.
Even if you are overflowing with confidence, it is best to flow without any variables. According to the story, within my control.
The anxiety I felt now seemed far from it.
I kept feeling like something was going to go wrong, that things wouldn’t go the way I wanted.
‘The back of my head feels sore from before.’
