Episode 26 After the wind has passed.(2)
* * *
There were many people in the dean’s office.
Except for me and Aina, there were 11 people.
Eight S-Class cadets, Vincent Muller, the head of the S-Class, Oscar Sharma, the dean, and Chloë Lumiel, the president.
“Come on. Park Seong-jin’s student. Are you all right?”
“Yes, as you can see, I am healthy.”
“I am glad that you are. Anyway, you did a great job. No matter how S-class, it would have been quite difficult to defeat a C-level villain with a serial card implanted body, but you can do it.”
“It was difficult. By the way, have you finished handling this raid?”
“No way. A villain’s raid isn’t something to be dealt with so easily. Because there is a lot to investigate inside, lectures are also closed for a week. Also for the safety of the cadets.”
Well, that’s right.
It’s good that I knew exactly how this raid was going, but from the academy’s point of view, it’s not something that can be overlooked, so it’s quite annoying and annoying.
“Anyway, you did well. But, how did you know they were villains? Of course, villains sometimes attack when the cyclone lands in Ainir, but we have not been able to identify exactly who the villain is and infer its movement.”
“I figured it out with my imaginative power of foreknowledge of the future.”
“okay… ? That’s right. But, Chloe said, your thinking power doesn’t seem to have much to do with your foresight.”
Chloe Lumiel said so?
That’s weird. I had no contact with Chloe Lumiel, how could Chloe Lumiel know that?
I’ve only met her twice.
On the podium at the entrance ceremony, and time to compete with Jade.
Of course, I confessed that I could see the future, but I never showed any signs of reading the future in battle, so I can doubt whether my foresight is really my ideology.
However, that does not constitute a basis for convincing myself that my imaginative powers are not foreseeing the future.
How did Rumiel see through my lies?
There is no way that there was any contact with another Park Seong-jin, who was originally the owner of this body.
Until he awakened his ideological powers, this guy was just a man who lived a very ordinary life.
There was no way he could have a relationship with someone who stood at the top of the world like Chloe Lumiel.
“I don’t mean to question your ideological power, so don’t worry. At the time when the power of thought was just awakened, the power of thought was unstable, so if the mysterious ability you showed in the entrance exam was a time-related ability, then you might be able to see the future. But don’t be too overconfident in your ideology that hasn’t been fully awakened yet.”
… I did.
The original ‘I’ knew how to handle all other ideological powers, and used all other ideological powers in the entrance exam.
And it makes sense if Chloe was watching the whole scene at the scene.
“Yes, thank you for your consideration.”
“Well, in any case, it is true that you and other S-Class cadets made a great contribution to preventing this incident, so the Academy wants to give you a light award.”
“thank you.”
“You have no reason to be grateful. It was our academy that received the favor.”
“But what about the prize?”
The other guys frowned at my blatant question.
I know it looks rude.
However, it is better to buy the stigma of eradicating villains simply because they want material rewards, rather than to flirt with tension and get various doubts.
“Is that important?”
“We fought with our own lives, but wouldn’t it be disappointing if we didn’t get an allowance commensurate with it? There must be a reasonable compensation. I think that material rewards are more intuitive and better than just a prize or a piece of paper. In fact, most of the heroes who play on active duty are not driven by money.”
At my words, the atmosphere in the dean’s office instantly became chaotic.
The other cadets stared at each other with sullen faces.
Vincent stares at me with eyes that want to kill me.
Even Chloe, who is laughing out of breath.
The only thing holding the same atmosphere as before was the Oscar in front of me.
“It’s not wrong. Is there any reward you want?”
“Well, even if you say that, it’s not that I didn’t expect material rewards. I just hope you get some credits or something.”
“That’s all I can listen to. How much do you want?”
“I think 10,000 credits would be fine.”
“i get it.”
Oscar took out the terminal and fiddled with it a few times.
As soon as the operation of his terminal was finished, an alarm sounded saying that 10000 credits were added to me and the other guys’ terminals as well.
cool and nice
“Is this enough?”
“I am okay. are you?”
Everyone nodded as if that was enough.
All the eyes that were staring at me, where did they go, they were all wandering around for the huge sum of 10,000 credits.
After all, there is no problem in the world that money cannot solve.
“Then let’s settle this roughly for compensation. Before we talk for a moment, is it okay if I smoke a cigarette?”
“Then give me one too.”
Having said that, Oscar took out two cigarettes and lit them in his and Chloe’s mouths.
The two of them smoked cigarettes in a very delicious way in front of the students.
This candid appearance of the Great Triangle of Heaven was unexpected, and everyone had a puzzled expression on their faces.
Even me and Vincent.
On the outside, he seems like such a normal and human person, but is he really communicating with a villain?
Of course, the reality is that I know ten roads in the water, but I do not know the people in one road, so I know that it is not good to just trust this person.
However, it is my sincere wish that this person and I do not fall for each other.
If I fight against this person, there is nothing left.
Of course, anyone would want to refrain from fighting Oscar, who is one of the strongest characters in the Dacapo Dream universe.
But that’s not the only reason I’m reluctant to face the Oscars.
Of course, if he was a villain from the beginning, no matter how strong he was, he would have to get rid of it eventually, but he is still the dean of Trinity Academy and a hero for all.
At least, even if he died or disappeared, he wanted to die under the name of the Great Triangle of Heaven.
And, this is simply my greed, but I want to keep a good relationship with him.
It’s because all my human relationships have been destroyed since I was brought into this world, which was practically in distress.
As long as my goal is to ‘prevent the destruction planned for the Dacapo Dream’, it is good that the Great Triangle of Heaven is on my side until the end.
Because I need a foundation to support me with a huge goal that doesn’t fit the topic.
Of course, I know that it is difficult to build good relationships with many people due to my destructive sociability, but I have no intention of letting go of my dreams.
… Oscar, who was the party, didn’t seem to care at all whether I thought about it or not.
He just rubbed the cigarette out and put it out.
“Then let’s start the story again.”
“yes.”
“First of all, the story of this raid will be known to the outside world, is that okay?”
“It must have already spread, so what does it mean?”
“You’re quieter than I thought.”
“After graduating, you will be famous anyway, but I think you became famous in advance. What.”
“That’s great confidence. Can we even know that future foreshadowing?”
“You may think so.”
First of all, I know that everyone here will become famous heroes after graduation.
Besides, everyone here is doing well on their own without my help.
Rather, it is me who needs help.
look at this case
Embarrassingly, I didn’t do anything.
I just borrowed their names, and the actual contribution they made is not that great.
It was solely the responsibility of the other S-Class to solve the raid case.
I dare say this because, to be honest, I still feel like a dream come to this world.
There is almost no sense of reality.
Even though I went through death through reckless actions like yesterday, I still feel that this world is simply entertainment like a game or a novel.
However, to these guys, this world is clearly real.
Now it was the same for me.
So, I also needed to be a little serious.
The problem is that such an opportunity has not yet been prepared.
As is the case with all living things, people tend not to be able to judge their situation soberly unless they receive a shock so great that their minds flash.
So do I.
So I needed an opportunity.
Of course, it would be nice if there was a good opportunity to do so, but it was a sad reality that usually such events inevitably approached tragic.
So, paradoxically, I will need to be more serious.
Please do not face tragedy.
“Well, then that’s fine. It’s all up to you, too. You can go out and see.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“Say nothing.”
After all the others, including myself, bowed their heads, they began to leave the dean’s office one by one.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Meanwhile, an object in the dean’s office caught my eye.At first glance, it looks like an ordinary hand mirror, but I know the reality of that object.
Alice’s Strange Mirror.
Is Alice’s Strange Mirror, a Legendary Artifact, appearing here?
There are different classes of artifacts.
It is classified into Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic, and there are some special cases called Elemental Legacy that do not fall into these categories.
And Alice’s strange mirror, which is classified as a legend, is an object that allows you to move through space without any cost.
Even without restrictions on distance.
It’s not even an ability like imaginative power, so it can be used anywhere.
That said, even the villains imprisoned in Zaratan Prison can take it out.
… I did.
The purpose of the masterminds in this raid was to ascertain their existence.
Knowing the original story of Naya Takapo Dream, I know it’s Alice’s Strange Mirror, but most people don’t even know it exists.
That’s because even low-level artifacts that don’t reach hero grade are kept very tightly packed, and the classification of grades isn’t too difficult.
Perhaps Alice’s Strange Mirror is an object that has not yet been graded.
It was supposed to be used by villains in the movie, but what happened?
Was it stolen from Oscar?
Or did Oscar give them to them?
… Either way, I’ll have to be more vigilant about Oscar.
Still, I’ve confirmed that it’s still in Oscar’s hands, so it’s better.
At least, even if Oscar had an affair with the villain, he was in his hands for the first time.
He’s not openly showing off that he’s having an affair with a villain.
I hope he’s not having an affair with the villain.
Putting an end to someone I know with my own hands is because I absolutely want to decline.
It is something everyone wants to refuse to put a knife into an acquainted person, but severing my relationship, which has almost been annihilated, with my own hands, is a sad thing.
I’m not the kind of person who would end easily just because I wanted to end it, but if he was a villain, he had to.
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“no.”
“Well then, go ahead.”
“Yes.”
When I left the dean’s office, my mind was very confused.
* * *
“Are you a fun guy?”
“Yeah, good or bad, he’s hard to guess.”
“Oscar, you are so savvy.”
“Chloe, do you know how old we are?”
“Fufu, can we take it as a story about fighting?”
“You and I are old enough to grow old. You can’t escape from the winds and waves of time.”
“Yes, I hope you will not regret your choice.”
“Life is a series of regrets.”
Chloe didn’t answer.
He quietly turned around and left the dean’s office.
Oscar thought.
“If you knew the future, would you be able to break this causal relationship?”
