I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 12



Only Noblemtl

Episode 12

Episode 12. Entrance Exam (9)

The place where Charon stopped was very sparsely populated.

It was when I entered a place where the trees were so dense that it was dark.

“… … “What is your relationship?”

Charon muttered without even turning.

Are you saying this?

He was a character who had no interest in the sexes of animals, let alone the relationship between men and women.

Luna’s face turned red and she desperately waved her hands.

“Oh, it’s nothing! Never date or anything like that… … !”

“I’m not interested in that. What I’m interested in… … .”

Charon turned around, his eyes shining.

“Luna de Lester, are you close enough to share your secrets?”

Just two sentences.

However, the conversation was enough to make Luna’s complexion harden.

It was the same for me too. Of course, the power of the skill may not have been noticeable.

“Judging by your reaction, it seems like you knew.”

Not good. First of all, Luna is the only survivor of the traitor family.

In this world, it was reason enough to die.

‘Is this really a bad ending? ‘So suddenly?’

I opened the stat window. This is not the time to save stat points.

It was a time when I was trying to invest everything in power.

“It was very bad. “If I hadn’t personally tasted the Leicester family sword in the past, I wouldn’t have known.”

“… … yes?”

“I should have built up my skills. I should have swung her sword while conserving my eating and sleeping time. I was expecting it… … “I was really disappointed.”

I stopped thinking about raising my stats.

A tone closer to rebuke rather than intimidation or oppression.

The nuance of why it was so weak proved that.

Luna seemed to feel that too.

“Now, wait a minute! What does that mean? If you know anything… … !”

“Develop your skills. “If you tell me before that, it will shorten your line.”

“What is that… … ! what! “Just tell me!”

“Telling me to forget and live… … It would be too cruel for you. But I recommend you forget about it. “That would be good.”

“wait for a sec… … !”

Luna tried to hold on to him with all her body, but it was no use.

He avoided Luna with ghost-like movements.

Luna fell down, but didn’t even glance at her.

“What is your name?”

“… … Hehehe, it’s called zero.”

“I don’t know how much you know… … Stop it. “We’ll both be eliminated, so go home.”

Elimination?

Charon passed me again with a ghost-like movement.

But I couldn’t let him go.

Because I was on a quest to pass the entrance exam.

‘What were Charon’s characteristics?’

Overbearing. Overbearing. A personality that makes communication impossible.

But a child who is confident and not intimidated in front of himself.

‘A perverted taste that I like even though I hate it.’

Yes, I like so-called strong people.

That’s what we’re targeting.

“Hehe, I can’t believe I was eliminated. “That’s funny.”

“… … ?”

“A teacher cannot give even a touch or a word of comfort to a crying child. I can’t admit it. A school like this… … .”

I glared at him while using the [Open Eyes] skill.

“I will go out on my own. “It means you didn’t eliminate him.”

Charon, who was looking into my eyes, looked away.

Is it an illusion? It felt like he was smiling slightly.

“… … is it. We can’t let you bastards insult the Academy. I will mark them both as passing. There are a lot of eyes watching at the academy, so be more careful. Well, the difference in technology is so big that I don’t think we’ll get caught.”

With those words, Charon disappeared.

The only people left here were me and Luna, who was crying with her face on the floor.

“Why are you keeping quiet even though you know…?” … .”

“… … .”

“Tell me… … please… … Someone please… … A little bit of my family’s injustice… … .”

Luna trembled and cried.

My body was shaking as much as she was.

Because you feel sorry for Luna? no!

‘I can’t believe Charon was such a talkative character!’

So fresh! It’s exhilarating! Have fun!

The reason I came forward was for Luna’s sake, but only a little.

I had a greater desire to find out Charon’s hidden conversation.

“Ugh… … .”

But it’s time to comfort Luna.

Because I’m not a psychopath.

All I was thinking about just now was taking action for Luna’s growth and future. really.

‘Like Charon said, it’s not time to know the truth yet.’

Luna’s age is only fifteen. She won’t be able to handle the truth.

In this world, fifteen is the standard for adulthood, but to me, it is a child.

Even if it’s a character in a game.

“Hehe, Miss Luna. Cheer up. “Isn’t everything going according to my plan?”

“Uh, huh… … plan?”

“It means I didn’t make you use arcane swordsmanship for no reason.”

“… … !”

The reason why Luna wants to enter the academy.

This is to obtain information from children of noble families.

If someone is accused of a crime, there is a high probability that the culprit will be the one who profits from it.

‘There is a new aristocratic power that revived after the extinction of the Leicester family.’

The best way to find out about them is to approach their children.

Because he speaks poorly, has short thoughts, and is easy to threaten.

That’s why Luna was obsessed with entering the academy.

“The reason Charon kept you alive. Do you understand?”

“… … “You probably know that there is no sin in our family.”

Accurate.

“This was before I even entered the academy. But I can’t believe I’ve already gotten this information. Hehe, we’ll be able to get more information in the future.”

“… … !”

“So cheer up. “Isn’t Miss Luna’s resentment small enough to be destroyed by something like this?”

Luna’s eyes began to glow with vitality.

“I will help you. Let’s unpack the information we know little by little. so… … “Let’s work hard together, Miss Luna.”

I will raise you very well when you wake up with strength.

Should I grow up and become a strategy horse for the final boss?

‘As expected, I’m amazing?’

Not only do you use extra characters, but you also continue to discover hidden pieces that exist in the entrance exam.

It’s so amazing that I can’t help but praise myself.

“… … “Thank you.”

“yes?”

“… … “Thank you.”

Luna tried to hide her slightly red face.

Luna, who is synonymous with being strong, tough, and a boy(?), shows herself like this.

“Hehe, why don’t you say it again? “I can’t hear you very well.”

“Go, go, go go…” … .”

go?

“I’m not grateful at all!!”

Luna’s shouts filled the forest.

* * *

On the way back to the 3rd test site.

Charon recalled the meeting that had occurred a little while ago.

‘… … I never thought I’d meet that kid here.’

Luna.

One of the descendants of the Lester family and the only survivor.

This is a child whose father and mother praised her so much that they said she was cute.

-What do you think, Charon? Isn’t my daughter so cute?

-Oh, hello. Lu, this is Luna.

The image of young Luna, hiding behind the hem of their cloaks and only showing her face to greet them, came to mind.

‘I don’t think you remember me.’

Although he was very young, it was only natural that he was in disguise.

Well, I saw him a few times after that, but it was a different face each time.

As I recalled several encounters, I thought of the Leicester family.

Leicester family.

A place that was one of the pillars of the empire.

A proud family that never gives in to threats and politics.

Because we had something in common, we occasionally interacted, but due to our personalities, we couldn’t form a close relationship.

But it’s clear that they were people I liked.

Because I thought they were the real pillars that protected the empire.

‘No, maybe…’ … .’

Maybe it was him who wanted to have a close relationship with them.

The Lester family is a family famous for its strong family love as well as its pride.

To Charon, who had lived alone his whole life, their togetherness came as a great shock and a dazzling envy.

However, he, an outsider, and someone who has lived his entire life as a spy, cannot be allowed to become one of their members.

I watched from afar and wished them happiness.

But they… … .

“… … after.”

I took a quick breath and controlled my breathing.

I was excited. Now is the time to stay low and wait for the opportunity.

Revenge was enough then.

‘No, revenge is strange in the first place.’

Because you and they have no relationship whatsoever.

Even those who were envied cannot talk about ‘revenge’ carelessly.

In the first place, the word revenge was not allowed for him as a ‘gutter rat of the empire’ who took care of the empire’s affairs.

All he can do is desperately hope that the enemies of the empire will be ‘them’.

That was all there was to it.

‘So don’t lean on me, Luna.’

Neither Vengeance nor the Academy will help Luna.

Even if the child is from the Leicester family that he was envious of, there is no one to look at him.

Distinguish between public and private life.

Because nothing is allowed to him other than work for the empire.

So I won’t reach out to Luna. never.

Passed the 3rd exam? that… … .

‘If you learn at least one thing, you will be able to live well outside. That’s why I just let you pass.’

The image of Luna fighting desperately in the competition arena came to mind.

Compared to the Ilseom used by the Lester family, Ilseom is extremely clumsy.

but.

“It was a great day, Luna.”

Charon won’t know.

There is a slight smile on his lips right now.

Charon was soon able to arrive at the third testing site.

“Are you here!”

“The third exam has ended! “There are 239 survivors!”

The instructors’ polite greetings and sparkling eyes.

I could tell that they were feeling the emotion of joy.

‘… … ‘Do you think you have been acknowledged by me?’

Delegation of authority regarding the third examination.

They had no choice but to delegate authority, but they seemed to have misunderstood that it was because they trusted them.

‘And the speed is so fast. ‘I went there during Group 13 and it’s already over?’

At least 800 people remained.

So it’s over 80 trillion, but it’s already over?

Even though I tend to get things done quickly, it’s not like this.

What on earth happened… … .

“Ugh, it’s hard.”

“This is Annwood Academy… … Indeed, it lives up to its reputation.”

“The exam ends like lightning. “I guess you have to adapt to this speed, right?”

“Hmph, this should be enough. “I’ll never give up, so let’s give it a try!”

The enthusiasm of the cadets.

They say it’s more of an interpretation than a dream. It’s exactly like that.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter. ‘Because all the time other groups are playing is waiting time.’

There will be no worries about the level of successful applicants.

These people are also instructors at Annwood Academy.

They are talented enough to be treated well elsewhere.

There was no way those people’s eyes were knotholes.

“Shall we send it to the next exam center right away?”

The instructor and the children’s eyes lit up.

Morale is so boosted that it seems like it’s going to skyrocket.

but.

‘Luna hasn’t come yet.’

Luna was lying face down on the floor, crying profusely.

Maybe he’s still crying.

The distance to here was quite long.

“Mr. Charon?”

The instructor’s eyes lit up again.

But it’s okay. Because there is a good reason.

“Wait a moment. The injured need time to recover… … “Because you have to pay for that too.”

“ah… … ! okay. sorry.”

The instructor quickly backed away.

‘that’.

Because I knew it meant a secret test.
