Academy
“Let’s do it in moderation. It’s Professor Felix’s lecture time.”
“Hey, don’t leak anywhere and wait for me in the dormitory. You’d better be prepared if you run away with a strange excuse like last time.”
“The Ministry of Magic secretly brought in alcohol…”
Yooseong narrowly opened his eyes as he watched the boys walking away.
Thanks to the skillful shedding of blows with the dark moon type 16, I was hardly shocked, but the atmosphere around me bothered me.
It wasn’t a place where people were rare, and they were being harassed right near a huge building where people occasionally passed by, but no one paid attention, let alone stopped them.
This meant that no one was used to it so much that it didn’t seem strange to them.

[You can use ‘Leon’s’ skill]
‘hi?’
– Who, who are you? How are you moving my body?
‘You can’t just call me and ask me.’
-Oh, no way…
Leon, who paused for a moment to see if there was a clue, spoke in a voice full of desperation.
-Please help me! I’ll give you anything you want, including my soul, if you just get me out of this hellish situation!
‘Let’s get the soul and use it somewhere… for now, let’s move around.’
Arriving at the dark space at the back of the building, Yuseong first checked the status window.
Name: Leon
Occupation: Fighter
Level: 59

His physical abilities slightly higher than his original body, and his wisdom and magical powers were low.
While punching and kicking the air for a while, he heard Leon’s voice in Yoosung’s head.
-Well, if it’s not rude, may I ask your name?
“Han Yuseong. Just call me Yooseong.”
-You are Yoosung. My name is···.
“Leon, I know. By the way, are you on the strong side in this world?”
– Oh no. I’m just a simple academy cadet. Compared to the knights and mercenaries, I am a newbie.
“You’re asking the wrong question. How does it compare to the cadets here at the academy, not in this world? When you don’t put your selfishness into it and purely look at your skills.”
-···I think it’s below average.
“It’s ambiguous.”
In fact, if there were circumstances such as hiding power, the story would have been easier, but if it had been like that in the first place, it would not have received a D+ grade.
‘The key is how much synergy the dark moon 16 types and martial arts will exert…’
If it was a world where only physical abilities were encountered like the third quest, I would have been confident, but this place is a world where magical energy and the ability to use it exist.
It was ambiguous to determine the exact direction until I directly bumped into it and checked the level.
“Tell me everything first.”
-What do you want me to say…
“Tell me your personal information, how you were bullied, why you stayed at the academy even while being bullied, information about the people who bully you, and anything else you think I need to know.”
– Oh, do I have to tell you?
“You don’t like it? Should I just go?”
– Oh no! I’ll tell you everything! First···.
The explanation, which I thought would end soon, continued until the sun that was high in the sky went over the horizon and night came.
It wasn’t so much content that it took this long, but in the middle, Leon, whose emotions were intensified, burst into tears, so I couldn’t help but read it and resume the conversation.
“To sum it up in one word, I came to the academy to raise the fallen family, but I was filmed and bullied. This is it, right?”
-Aren’t you compressing too much?
“The simpler and quicker everything is, the better.”
It is said that he has stood out since he was a child, that he endured bullying thinking of the family members who consistently support his tuition and living expenses even in difficult situations, but that he has recently reached his limit. Even if you know it, you don’t know it, but it’s not that important.
“So what have you tried to do to get out of the bullying so far?”
-I told the professor in charge, but I was kicked out after hearing that I shouldn’t bother with fighting between the kids.
“In addition.”
– Again?
“Could that be the end? If the professor in charge said no, have you talked to other professors? To the people above him? The dean or vice-president?”
-My professor is one of the most powerful and influential professors. He ignored it, but other people couldn’t help me.
“You said you didn’t say anything. So, have you tried to resist those who bully you?
-That, those guys are many, and I am alone. If I resisted, I would be bullied more severely, so how could I resist?
“Oh my God, you didn’t even resist?”
Hearing Yoosung’s words, Leon shouted with anger for the first time since the conversation started.
– What are you saying that you know about me? Ask others for help! Resist Bullying! Yooseong-nim said that because he had never been harassed by these guys…
“Have you ever been bullied?”
-You can… Yes? what did you just say?”
“I’ve been bullied.”
It’s not a memory I really want to recall, but when I was in middle school, Yoosung was taken as a prey for poor quality guys.
-···What kind of bullying did you experience?
“It’s not that great. The first time we met, he suddenly asked me to buy some snacks.”
-So what did you do?
“I said to pay for the snacks. I was so innocent at the time that I just thought it was a friend’s request.”
Recalling the expression he had at the time, Yooseong burst into a small smile without realizing it.
“He made an absurd face and said to buy it with your money, and I said why do I have to buy your snacks with my money. Then suddenly he grabbed me by the collar and punched me.”
-Did Yoosung win?
“I lost. The class started and stopped in the middle, but I was beaten one way.”
– Did you lose?
“Yeah, I was very weak.”
There is no way that a middle school student who has never fought in his life can win in a fight against Iljin.
It was natural if it was natural, but what made Meteor different was that it didn’t end there.
-So you’ve been bullied ever since?
“No, during break time after class, I went to him and asked him to fight.”
– Yeah?
“Of course I lost again. Then I lost at the next break, after lunch, and before I went home. And when I asked to fight again the next morning, they just mumbled something and pretended not to notice. I just avoided it because it was dirty.”
-···What were you thinking at that time?
“Well? Even if it was a long time ago, I can’t remember right now. I don’t know if it was because of resentment or pride, but one thing is for sure, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I bow down? I think I was thinking about that.”
In the process, I didn’t feel the slightest sense of justice to resist injustice.
When the Iljins gave up on themselves and targeted other children to harass them or use them as shuttles, Yooseong neither tried to stop nor paid attention to them.
Yooseong was just a selfish and ordinary human being who was just angry at the unreasonable situation.
“The outcome of your resistance doesn’t really matter. You might lose and your professors might ignore your opinion. The important thing is to let them know that you’re not something to be taken lightly. Why do you have to put up with it when you’re not doing anything wrong? You’re not even angry. ?”
It was a nonsensical remark, but when I thought about it, Leon, who was being bullied in the midst of bullying, had a high chance of just hearing it with one ear and letting it go with the other.
“It looks like you said something useless. Well, you must have your own circumstances…”
-It seems that Yoosung is right.
“yes?”
The family will suffer damage.
If you resist, more bullying will come.
can’t win anyway
It was not my fault, but I had to endure it.
There is not a single thing that he has done wrong.
It was a very obvious fact, but Leon, who was so used to irrational situations, could only realize that he was not wrong after hearing Yoosung’s words.
– I realized my mistake. I’ll hit it myself. If you fail… you don’t have to complete the academy to revitalize your family, so working as a mercenary wouldn’t be a bad thing either.
“Keuheum, what do you do that? I’m just watching an exorcism and eating rice cakes.”
-no. Delegating my work to Yooseong-nim…
“I’ll take care of it, so stay still!”
-···Yes.
Yooseong, who managed to prevent a crisis that almost blown up the quest, sighed in relief and stood up.
“Where do you eat?”
-There is a restaurant, but it’s late, so it’s probably closed now. I have some snacks in my room, are you okay with that?
“Guide me.”
Following Leon’s guidance, Yuseong moved to the dormitory through the dark night road.
It was a little bothersome to see the people I encountered from time to time looking at me pitifully, but for now, filling my hungry stomach was the priority.
-Go into the room in the left corner.
“Is this right? Let’s eat something and rest, then talk in detail.”
widely!
The moment the door opened with the sound of rusty metal, Meteor rolled on the floor with the feeling of being pulled by the collar.
“My Leon, have you grown up? I told you not to leak anywhere and wait in the dormitory. How dare you chew my words?”
A boy with an expression and posture that touches on a subject that is a handful smaller than himself.
Yooseong, who blinked for a moment and tilted his head, said belatedly, bumping the palms of his hands.
“That’s the guy I saw at lunch!”
“What? You bastard?”
“I have a bad memory. Can you tell me your name?”
Leon told him his name, but Yooseong deliberately provoked the boy by asking his name.
Embarrassed by the first reaction, the boy immediately smiled and closed the open door and started walking forward.
“Have you let go of them lately? He died today…”
puck!
The sudden excruciating pain that came from the pit of the stomach caused the boy to sit on the floor without knowing why, clutching his stomach and letting out a thin moan.
‘How’s the soundproofing here? Do you tend to hear the sound from the next room?’
-I can’t hear it most of the time because it blocks the sound with magic, but why are you asking that?
“I’m trying to catch a person, but it’s difficult if I get interrupted in the middle.”
“You bastard! How dare you know who I am!”
Yooseong smiled brightly at the boy who ran towards him with an expression like a savagery, and returned the answer.
“I don’t know, but shall we take some time to get to know each other?”
this is not a game
