Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death - Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death chapter 91

The wine the jackal had been carrying dwindled slowly.

Johann Esperz is originally a character who is a drunkard, and Jackal Frodo is also set to be a strong drinker.

As befits such a meeting of two people, we shared a drink for quite a while after that, but the ending was ambiguous. Around 11 o’clock, the jackal rose from his seat.

“You have to go down slowly so the roll call time will be right.”

During the [Grade Principal Election], because the election date was fixed, he approached me quickly. However, jackals tend to approach people with enough leeway when it comes to embracing people.

he said in a relaxed tone.

“I think it was not enough time to get to know each other yet. Just watch over me from now on.”

“Watching?”

“Evaluate my actions and vessel.”

“What about the evaluation?”

“What? If you feel that my intentions are not absurd, then let’s do it together.”

I pondered for a while.

Jackal’s ambition is to conquer the plains east of Frantimo within his generation and become a hero. And it didn’t matter what he meant. Anyway, if you take the true ending route of ‘Savior from Another World’, the war of attrition in the east of Frantimo will naturally end.

The main characters who formed a party with Johann Esperz kill the witch Carnes, who was possessed by a demon and blackened.

Therefore, Jackal’s grandiose plan for his life is just a fragment of the character’s setting, and it is not a matter of concern.

Rather, I was curious about the other part.

“Why are you trying to enslave me?”

“What do you mean?”

“What do you mean? The election for the head of the school year is already over-”

There was something that came to my mind. The reason Jackal wanted to become the grade president was not because of honor. It’s because of the authority given to the school principal.

I changed my words.

“Perhaps it’s because I’m friends with Ida from hometown?”

The jackal cleared his throat. It seemed to be straight. He smiled and said.

“Honestly, there is a reason for that.”

“Another reason is?”

“Because you, Johann Esperts, felt like the person leading the conversation at the academy.”

I struggled to keep my expression. The jackal, who carefully examined my face, continued.

“You won’t deny it, will you? You tricked Bastia as soon as you arrived, I heard that you saved the members of the group during the last march, you wrote a script for a play that no one expected and made the literature teacher cry, and you turned our family’s performance into a mess. In addition, you received a public confession in the election for the grade president.”

This is something you should keep in mind. Not in a positive sense, but in a negative sense. This is the reason why I was hesitant to step forward. Being at the center of fire means that there are more eyes to see, and this is an uncomfortable situation for me as I have to hide the fact that I am from the other world.

The Jackal continued.

“Everyone at the academy would agree? You… Here, he is a person like a typhoon driving a fire, and he is also the person at the center.”

I felt that the jackal was using a glorified expression to be polite. So he changed it to the word he really wanted to express.

“… You mean trouble maker.”

The jackal hesitated, then nodded.

The boy looked out the window. It was probably looking at the clock tower in the distance.

“A trouble maker… That’s an appropriate expression.”

“I don’t know if my expression is appropriate… I don’t know if your judgment that you are trying to embrace me is appropriate.”

The jackal laughed again. It seemed like an expected question.

“okay. Normally I’d say that. You shouldn’t accept such people as colleagues. It’s hard to manage a person who doesn’t know where he’ll bounce.”

It is a theory.

This is also the reason why the leader kills individuality in group action.

“But I think differently. If I can control such a person, I will be seen as someone who can even control the influence that person has. That kind of intangible power has an impact in any situation.”

When I didn’t answer, he nodded lightly and turned around.

“then… I wish you well.”

The jackal is out. He also seemed to be thinking about something. It wasn’t long before the sound of footsteps disappeared, and the sound of an older woman echoed in the corridor of the hospital room.

“From now on, you are prohibited from entering the ward! The roll call is omitted. You may freely enter and exit the toilets on each floor, but you must seek permission from the nursing officer on each floor to move between floors! If possible, don’t walk around as much as possible like a patient!”

There is a formal lights-out procedure in the dormitory, but there is no separate lights-out procedure in the ward. This is because there is a possibility that there may be patients who require an emergency. I cleaned up the scattered glass fragments on the floor and checked my inventory.

This is to check the condition of Escomin’s lock.

The item that became an icon in the inventory had the following description attached.

[Forbidden Book, Escomin (unlocked)]

[Time remaining: 0 hours 0 minutes]

Time remaining is 0 hours 0 minutes.

That is, it can be used immediately.

This [Forbidden Book, Escomin], one of the three major fraudulent items in this game, urges players to ask the right question, not the correct answer.

And the mystery of Escomin doesn’t stop at just hinting at it.

Just as I came to the conclusion of ‘expansion of random numbers’ with only the name ‘Jackal’ in the previous question, the hints given by Escomin appear in a form that the user can intuitively grasp the correct answer.

So, the important thing is the question. Preparing questions that cannot be known by other means until the purpose is achieved.

Before using Escormin, I looked at the system log that appeared in front of me.

It was to see the skill list of [Developer], another class of mine.

The system log said:

[Name: John Jeong]

[Class: Developer]

[Class level: demi-god]

[Class overview: As one person involved in the creation of this world, you can read or modify things that are destined.]

Class descriptions you’ve already seen. And below that, the description of the skill continued.

[Special Skill: Secret Code]

[Available points: 18 (a certain amount is provided each time the event starts.)

[Auto Skip (1 point): You can skip without recognizing what is destined. Perform repetitive or mechanical actions without physical fatigue or mental stress. Healing occurs while performing the action. Upon receiving a strong shock, this skill is stopped.]

[Simulation (1 point)]

[For actions with a purpose, predict and experience the results. The accuracy of the experience is based on the information the character knows]

Skills I’ve seen before.

And below that, the newly activated skill was attached.

[Switch Camera (3 points)]

[Looking into a scene for a specific character or place at a specific point in time. This cannot be based on the future point of view, but there is no distance limit for the present or the past.]

I ended up laughing. Reminds me of the original ‘Savior from another world’.

In the flow of this game, the reaction of the main characters is as important as the choice of the main character. Therefore, the events that occur between the surrounding characters were also a major factor in storytelling.

I used a very classic method to expose those surrounding events to the player. It was to show each scene from the observer’s point of view.

Bastia obsessed with God.

Jackal tricks.

The fresh romance of Sabaki and Adrine.

Ida’s heartbreaking unrequited love.

The dean’s agony of having to lead the academy.

And the element that made it possible to see other events like that, appeared as a skill to this ‘developer Jeong Yo-han’.

“[Switch camera]… .”

I thought it was an appropriate skill name. It was like a skill to peek or eavesdrop on the actions of other characters.

And there were people who came to mind first when looking at the description of the skill. If there is a problem, it is that there is not much hope.

But as a confirmation, I tried using this new skill.

“Secret code, redemption of points. [Camera switch]. Use target, pre-inheritor. camera point of view. this moment right now.”

Soon the system log, which I expected, popped up.

[‘Camera switch’ is not established for the existence of the same level as yourself.]

[‘Camera switch’ will be canceled.]

And, of course, the expectation was not without disappointment.

“Shit… .”

It was the same with ‘Simulation’ before, so it seemed that Inheritor had perfect immunity to Jeong Yo-han’s skill in advance.

“Then, after all, this is the only way.”

I tried to calm myself by looking out the window. First of all, I thought I had to calm down so that I wouldn’t make any mistakes.

Here, down the hill leading to the hospital, sparse light was leaking from all over the academy building.

“Inventory.”

I opened the inventory window and took out the [Forbidden Book, Escomin]. It’s like Dr. Chuck Chuck waiting for my next question when the clock time is over.

And I had already decided what questions I should ask. I asked a question to Escomin floating in front of my eyes.

“How should I-”

My nervous heart automatically swallows my saliva.

Of course, I have no doubt that Escomin will give a clear hint to my question. However, there is no choice but to worry about the difficulty of the given hints.

“… Let me know in advance if I can meet the Inheritor again.”

As I finished speaking, Escomin began to undo his own silver locks with a loud noise.

clap – clap – clap –

Like last time, the lock released itself. I carefully opened the pages of the thick book. Recalling the sentence about Escomin that I wrote down in the setting book.

Actually, it wasn’t a difficult recovery. There is only one line written in the setting book about Escomin.

‘This book answers any questions and hints.’

It’s not just the main information in the game. From behind-the-scenes stories related to game development to the story of Miri and me.

It was not possible to implement all of this in the game, but at least in the setting, it can answer any question in the world.

I slowly turned over the bookshelf with a little nervousness.

Then, once again, a specific character appeared on the opened page.

However, the character that appeared this time was not even the main character. And it was not even a name, but a character marked by that job.

Escomin wrote:
