I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 15



Only Noblemtl

Episode 15

Episode 15. Please be my friend(1)

“Hehe, that’s really great.”

Standing in front of the mirror, I couldn’t help but be amazed.

A uniform disguised as a school uniform.

The golden thread embroidered on the wrists and key points made the uniform look even more stylish.

The fit was perfect too.

It was natural since it was made to fit my body type.

‘This is all for free. After all, this is the best academy in the empire, isn’t it?’

Annwood Academy, where I entered.

School uniforms were not the only thing that was supported here.

Food is free, textbooks are free, and even the dormitory.

It was all free.

‘I was so fortunate that they provided me with a place to sleep from the first day.’

A dormitory for one person, estimated to be about 8 pyeong (approximately 8 pyeong).

From now on, I planned to bow three times to Annwood Academy every time I wake up.

‘… … ‘Has it already been a week?’

After the entrance exam, I was given a fairly long break of a week.

As soon as I was assigned a dormitory, I fell asleep.

From the first day of possession, to understanding the situation, to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tests, to the secret test and written test.

It was a very eventful day for a Possession beginner.

“Hehehe, what is for breakfast today? “I’m looking forward to it.”

Annwood Academy’s chefs are all top-notch.

I stopped by the restaurant without missing a single day for a week.

It was no different even though it was the day the class started.

I took a leisurely step towards the restaurant.

Of course, I didn’t just play around for a week.

While taking a break, we summarize the hidden pieces, strategies for boss monsters, and major events that occur in each episode.

A list of members that are good to recruit in the future and a route to efficiently become stronger.

‘It’s written in Korean, so even if someone reads it, they won’t be able to understand it.’

This means that even security is perfect.

I opened the information window and checked the current status.

[Zero]

Lv: 11

Strength: 20

Agility: 20

Intelligence: 20

Stamina: 20

Horsepower: 20

Potential: 0

Points held: 10

Possessed skills: [Translation S], [Interpretation S], [Mental Defense S], [Information Window S], [Crinkling Speech S], [Predation S], [Shop Window S], [Cleaning S], [Ominous Energy] B], [Open eyes F], [Super regeneration F]

Title held: None

The rewards received after clearing the first main quest are as follows.

Level up 2, 10 gold, and [Shop Window S] skill.

[Shop Window] was a skill I had never seen before.

After checking, surprisingly, what they sell there is… … .

‘There was only one stat point.’

A special shop where you can get 1 stat point by paying 100 gold.

This does not only mean gold given as a reward when completing a quest.

It seemed that stat points could be purchased with money in this world.

‘Are you sure. ‘Because I was able to purchase items with the gold I received as a reward for clearing the quest.’

A street vendor at the Academy Fountain Square.

I bought a newspaper there and received 9 silver and 8 copper in return.

10 coppers are 1 silver, and 10 silvers are 1 gold.

In other words, 100 copper is 1 gold.

The problem is that the price of a newspaper is only 2 copper.

‘It may be cheap, but on the other hand, the value of 1 gold is very high.’

But what you can get by spending 100 gold is only 1 stat?

This is an incredibly inefficient store.

Yes. In the eyes of others, the [Shop Window] skill is a trash skill.

But the way I see it.

‘It’s a crazy skill.’

I was originally going to use most of my stat points in other ways.

This is the ‘potential’ stat, which is a hidden piece in the stat window.

Stat points are automatically distributed to characters in the game as they level up, and special skills are unlocked whenever their potential reaches 100 units.

However, custom-made characters are different.

You can raise your stat points as you wish.

Meanwhile, what was discovered was the hidden piece of potential stats.

Every time you invest 100 points in the potential stat, one skill is given ‘randomly’. even.

‘Given S rank.’

In this game, S rank means highest proficiency. It truly boasts immense power.

Look at the [Mental Defense] skill I have.

Didn’t they even block the illusion magic of Elester, the 9th Circle Archmage?

‘But they give you an S-rank skill that is the same level as that?’

The words ‘scam, scam, scam’ will inevitably come out.

Of course, there was a problem with giving skills ‘randomly’, but there weren’t that many bad skills.

‘If something like sky-splitting or absolute defense comes out… … .’

It can be eaten raw until the final boss.

‘The old people even called this potential gambling.’

Anyway, by repeating this potential gamble, any shitty character could become a character that plays more than one person.

This is a play that I, too, preferred.

Because the final boss was the goal.

“… … .”

Ah, but why do I only have 10 pts left?

It’s because I gambled on potential.

As a main quest reward, I went up 2 levels and reached level 11, and collected 100 points.

The potential stat that automatically increased due to leveling up was 10. I invested 90 points there and gambled on the potential.

So where are the skills that came from gambling on potential?

Isn’t it down there?

[Cleaning: S]

Sweep and wipe clean. Swish swish.

… … Yes. That’s the skill I acquired by spending 100 points.

[Cleaning] I will do it.

cleaning. Cleaning… … .

lol.

All I can do is really laugh. Of course, it’s a joke.

In a way, it was a more vicious skill than [Open Eyes].

‘I lost 10 levels worth of stat points and got cleaning… … I’m going crazy, really.’

In the first place, hidden pieces using potential stats were only for stagnant people.

To obtain the Gaejeokgi skill and attack the final boss.

Could it be said to be a rerolling of the “Academy Heroes” world?

‘It’s about to restart.’

But it was a game, so I was only able to do that. Now this is reality.

This means that restarting is impossible.

‘Someone save me!!’

The good news is that you obtained the [Shop Window] skill?

Because if you have money, you can gamble with potential.

The problem is where to make money, but it is important to have a way.

“Hehe, shall we first overcome the crisis in front of us?”

Solving hunger is the priority now.

I was sitting in a corner of the restaurant and just had a drink.

A blue window appeared before my eyes.

[Main Quest #2]

-Make friends!

Make three friends. To clear, the other person must truly think of you as a friend.

Make friends (0/3)

Reward: 100 exp, 10 gold, [Subspace S] skill

Penalty: All stats reduced by 3

Make three friends?

At first glance, it’s an easy quest. But in reality, that wasn’t the case.

The characteristics of my appearance are narrow eyes, [cringing tone of speech], and [ominous energy] skills.

In addition, he has the appearance of being considered the representative criminal of the continent.

Most kids run away whenever you talk to them, so there’s no way you can make friends.

Wouldn’t it be 10 times more difficult than meeting people on a regular basis?

but.

“Hehe, it’s worth a try.”

Even after all this, I am still called the most popular person in Korea.

A mere 10x penalty won’t be enough to stop it.

Besides, you’re already a slave… … Oh, no, haven’t you already made one friend?

The second quest seems to be easier to clear than you think.

“What, are you alive?”

Just then, Luna came with food on a tray and sat down in front of me.

The uniform-style clothes and skirt match very well.

Luna was cute today as well, seeing her for the first time in a week.

Is it because the child will be the sacrifice(?) for my quest?

“Miss Luna.”

“why.”

“Hehe, we are friends, right?”

“… … What bullshit? “Oh, the food tastes bad.”

Luna picked up the tray and went to the far corner and sat down.

It was then that I realized something was wrong.

Maybe this quest.

I may never wake up again.

* * *

Classes began in earnest in the morning.

All teachers participated in class with enthusiasm.

Although the class was uneventful from the first day, no child was dissatisfied.

Children who did not have this level of patience would have been eliminated in the first test.

‘Hmm, it’s worth listening to.’

Graduated from a prestigious university in Korea.

I went through the door of a large corporation in one go, which is called the eye of a needle, and in the meantime, I passed the professional exam and promotion exam in one go.

He even had a talent for financial investment.

‘It’s possible to live a life as a stagnant person because you can afford it.’

It was one of the reasons why I had to defeat the final boss and return to reality.

Because a lot has been achieved in reality.

‘I have to show off at the stagnant water cafe.’

Anyway, it was a class worth taking for the most part, except for subjects that required basic knowledge.

I rolled my eyes and looked around.

Where I am currently is in the advanced class.

In addition to Luna and Raimon, most of the main cast were here.

Of course, I had no intention of becoming friends with them.

Because they have to fulfill their role as a first party.

‘The problem is the composition of the two parties I will be in charge of… … .’

Wouldn’t it be okay to just select Joo Joo-yeon?

… … It’s not as easy as it seems.

Characters that had an impact on the story had to be excluded, and those belonging to the noble faction could not be arbitrarily excluded.

‘If you take away the children who are like your own limbs… … ‘Because everyone will gather around and beat you up.’

The initial stage of “Heroes of the Academy” is the Academy.

Although the story is mainly about children, the content is not.

‘Factions among nobles are valid here, even at the Academy.’

A faction of nobles in the Empire.

It is said that their children also join forces and fight here.

Of course, compared to them, it’s just child’s play, but there are times when children’s fights become adult fights.

‘If you were from a commoner or lower class background and played the game, there were a lot of people who would fight with you.’

There are good nobles, but the ratio is low, around 1 to 9.

Anyway, the kids are already busy fighting, so you’re taking one of them out?

It would have been perfect to be accused of being a devil and burned at the stake.

“Let’s end today’s class here. more.”

Break time between classes. The classroom became noisy.

There were children who occasionally looked at me, but they did not show any particular interest.

A synergy created between [ominous energy] and an impression similar to criminals on the continent.

It was difficult. Because I had to make friends.

‘A quest is a quest, but… … Only then can you catch the boss monster.’

Since we are friends, I use it as a body bread.

Since we are friends, I use it as a sword.

Since we are friends, we risk our lives(?) instead.

What a beautiful friendship this is.

But no one is my friend.

I couldn’t understand it at all.

Meanwhile, someone came into my field of vision.

It is none other than Raimon.

The child who fought during the 3rd exam, and one of the characters who becomes a member of the first party.

Perhaps because of his cute appearance and timid personality, many children talked to him.

“Well, there’s everything like this!”

But is it because of its nature as pure evil?

All of the children who talked to him left with their faces shaking.

This is indeed a character worthy of being called ‘Nug Raimon’.

A profanity used as a substitute for pad lip among users of stagnant water.

When I saw it in front of me, it really deserved to be called that.

‘Although I am a member of Party 1… … Wouldn’t it be okay to have a friend to complete the quest?’

I won’t become your friend right away, but I’ll have to put in some work.

It’s hard to become friends with Luna, whom I’m close with, but it’s even harder for the others.

“Who is this pretty-looking woman in her 30s?”

Another girl huffed and left Raymon’s side.

… … hmm. Should I just give up on this quest?
