The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 131

131 – 126. Main character and sub-protagonist-1

Pelex Academy.

The foundation and core background of ‘Become the strongest at the academy alone’, it was the place where I, who was possessed by Vern’s body, dropped out of school.

There were two main reasons.

One is that the background of an academy does not help Bern grow.

And the other one is that there are many foxes who want to use Bern’s strength in the beginning.

Unfortunately, it is not helpful in an educational institution to train new heroes.

Is there a place that treats students like dogs?

Berne endured countless absurdities, but I didn’t have the confidence to endure them at all.

That’s why I chose to roam freely while kicking the academy.

As a result, I surpassed the Bern of the original.

‘As expected, being patient is not always a good choice.’

And after many twists and turns, I returned to the academy.

I have no intention of entering school and living as a student.

That doesn’t mean I want to become a professor who teaches students.

I plan to leave the academy with only the rice cake scraps left.

I will use the talents that have not seen the light of day since Kang Jun-hyeok disappeared.

[The bottom line is that you want to steal. Like a thief.]

‘Ah, it’s a big decision that I will become a hero to save the world in place of Kang Jun-hyeok!’

[Don’t you think you’re the one who’s ruining the world?]

‘I’m not sure.’

With a big smile, I passed the academy’s main gate.

Dispel magic removes blocking magic that only authorized visitors can pass through.

The intruder-destroying golem was frozen before it could even maneuver, and escaped the watchtower’s line of sight through cloaking magic.

[I never thought a world-leading academy would be so lax.]

‘It’s a place like this.’

Although I was aware that I was out of specification, it was a security system with many loopholes.

So, the monsters must have invaded from the entrance ceremony.

Anyway, Belmond, the culprit behind the incident in the beginning, has been eliminated by Rin’s hand.

In the absence of the culprit, the students are generally spending peaceful days.

It was easy to tell by the smiles on the faces of the students in the distance.

[They are all children of the same age as you.]

‘Even though I only stayed for a few days, I was once a student here.’

So I came here wearing my academy uniform.

At the time I dropped out, I thought about throwing it away, but I thought I might have something to write about, so I kept it.

I never imagined that the opportunity would come so quickly.

No one will think I’m an outsider unless they identify me in detail.

[So what are you planning to do here?]

‘I have a lot of work to do. Breaking through unidentified dungeons, finding hidden treasures, and if my memory isn’t wrong, I think there’s a demonic sword in the vault in the basement of the academy.’

[Certainly, as you said, you can subtly feel the aura of the same kind below.]

‘I’ll sweep away all the necessary items.’

[Where do you think a person who takes stealing for granted is a hero…….]

I entered the main building of the academy, ignoring Prach’s deep complaints.

The previous treasures are important, but what I have to prioritize is creating a point of contact with a certain character.

A character that showed more ripple power than Kang Jun-hyeok’s heroines who are widely spread in the academy.

It was Professor Veronica who changed the bad ending of the story.

She was a professor who was usually only mentioned by name, but she appeared at some point and reversed the writer’s impoverished drift.

Time retrogression that even God, let alone the demon king, cannot easily accomplish.

By expressing her power, she helped change the world that was ruined by Kang Jun-hyeok’s mistake.

There was nothing wrong with being friendly with Professor Veronica beforehand.

There is no guarantee that I won’t make the wrong choice either.

“Here.”

A corridor lined with machines of unknown purpose.

At the end was Professor Veronica’s private laboratory.

I stood in front of him and carefully knocked on the door.

“Who are you?”

A voice that seems to be soaked in fatigue.

I only heard one word, but I felt like I was getting tired too.

“Excuse me. I came from far away to meet Professor Veronica…….”

“An envoy who is a common merchant.”

“I am not here to sell you anything.”

“Then what is it?”

“To invest in the research Professor Veronica is conducting… ….”

Beep-!

The door, which seemed to be firmly closed and would not open, was thrown back at once.

Through the crack in the door, a scruffy, yellow-haired woman poked her head out, her eyes shining.

“Come on, please go inside… !”

“Ah, yes… ….”

Money is always right.

I wondered if money could be the best artifact to revitalize people who were almost dying.

“All I want to drink is black tea, will that be okay?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Yup! I’ll be worried about it soon, so please wait a little bit!”

Veronica throws away even the papers she was holding and runs to the tea room.

It wasn’t that she didn’t understand her actions.

Veronica Cronillas.

Kroniyas was a great family known in the kingdom.

However, as Bruno Cronillas became immersed in space-time magic, the family entered the path of ruin.

Bruno, who fell in love with the study of time and space rather than managing the territory, ordered his successor to continue his research until right before his death.

From noble mtl dot com

Because his orders were made with a blood oath, the heirs couldn’t refuse.

In this way, the heirs of the Croniyas family walked the path of destiny in which they were immersed in research one after another.

By the time of Veronica, the family had gone bankrupt.

I had to continue my research even when I was penniless and penniless.

Working as a professor at the academy, she used most of her salary for research while somehow making ends meet.

‘He was born into a broken family and his life was twisted.’

[Isn’t that enough to kill yourself?]

‘I can’t even commit suicide. If you try to commit suicide, a blood oath will be triggered and you will be in agony to the point where you can’t move.’

[You are almost like a slave.]

He is a person who brings tears to my eyes just by looking at him.

Because he had such circumstances, he must be obsessed with money.

“hehehe! This is black tea!”

“Thank you very much.”

“So I heard that you are willing to invest in my research… ….”

“Before that, let’s ask one question. Why don’t you doubt me even though I’m a student?”

“That is an interesting question. That’s right, isn’t the investor disguised as a student to join the academy?”

“Whoa.”

“Even if you are a student, there are many children from prestigious families in this academy, right? There are conditions where anyone can support me, so just because I wear a school uniform, I can’t ignore it.”

Veronica was known to be thoughtful.

Those who know exactly where they are and act accordingly.

He was the type of person you could trust if he meant something to you.

“According to the professor, even though I become an intruder, you are very calm.”

“I’m disqualified as a professor for saying this, but I like investors more than students! Even if you are an intruder, I can turn a blind eye to you if you lend me money for my research!”

“You are a slave to good capital.”

“hehehe, because it’s not the time to cover your poo.”

I was going to end it by building a friendship, but it wouldn’t be bad to steal information about the academy through Veronica.

Because he seemed like a person who would move like my limbs if I gave him money.

This is why money is the best.

“So how much can you invest in me?”

“One hundred gold every month.”

“One hundred… A hundred gold?!”

“Ah, are you lacking? Then three hundred gold….”

“Enough! Enough left over!”

Veronica hurriedly waved her hand and refused the three hundred gold.

When she said money, I thought she would take it without hesitation, but I guess that’s not the case.

“Then, I will give you 100 gold every month.”

“Yes! I am satisfied with that!”

“Then you can sign the contract here.”

I handed the paper I had prepared in advance to Veronica.

Quickly skimming through her contract, she wrote her name on the signature line without hesitation.

There is nothing wrong with a contract, as it is about reporting on research progress and sharing information.

It is said that you can receive a large amount of support every month with just that, but who wouldn’t accept it?

“Signed!”

“Okay, then take it.”

f*ck-!

When she snapped her fingers, a space opened and money began pouring out of it.

At the same time, Veronica performed the eccentricity of throwing her body into her pouring gold.

“Uh heh heh! hehehe! Money! Money!!”

How poor had she lived?

Throwing away her pride as a woman, she was insanely happy.

Really, the more I look at it, the sadder it gets.

“Ah… ! Come to think of it, the tea is all gone.”

“Yes?”

“A valuable investor is here, and it would be fine if we couldn’t serve you more black tea! I’ll be buying the finest black tea right away, so please wait a moment!”

“Oh no!”

I have no intention of drinking more.

Before he could say that, Veronica rushed out with three gold coins.

As much as her ability to act, she was faster than anyone else. I laughed at her.

With this level of loyalty already, I think Veronica will be able to have some fun later when her research succeeds.

“I bought an insurance policy that won’t fail.”

[I can’t believe this body is such a strong woman who knows how to handle time.]

“Don’t worry. Because I am sure of my ability.”

It was a time when I was sipping black tea and feeling like a president of a large company.

Beep-!

The door opened and someone entered the room.

“Professor Veronica! Please help me!”

“…… It’s fun.”

I didn’t recognize him for a moment because he was very emaciated, but there was a person that came to mind as soon as I saw his face.

The main character of Adog Choi, the trash who sleeps with my childhood friend and executes me in the end.

It was Kang Jun-hyeok.
