Episode 22. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot (4)

“yes?”

“Are you on my side? That’s my question.”

Luna’s eyes are quite serious.

It really means that that is your question.

“hmm… … you’re right. I don’t think we’ll ever become enemies… … .”

“Okay, that’s enough.”

A small smile appeared on Luna’s lips.

really? Is this the end? Don’t you even question me?

What if what I said was a lie? But this lady.

Luna, unaware of my feelings, was busy staring at something blankly.

As I followed the line of sight, I saw many people.

Holding hands, playing together, laughing together.

‘The appearance of friends.’

Admiration and envy.

An emotion somewhere in between was hanging in Luna’s eyes.

Only then did I realize the intent of Luna’s question.

Maybe Luna was afraid of losing me, her only friend.

I was so afraid of that that the first thing I asked was a question that would help me identify my friends.

‘Are you stupid…? … ‘What if I lied?’

Am I going to believe it unconditionally just because it’s what my friend said?

The future of this character is obvious.

You will be abandoned, hurt, and eventually die.

Because that’s the cliché of this culture.

“… … .”

Luna is still looking at the people on the street.

I decided to give Luna a small gift.

“Miss Luna.”

“why?”

“It’s a gift.”

When I took my hand out of my pocket, the balloon popped out and floated into the sky.

I grabbed the string at the end of the balloon and handed it to Luna.

She held the line carefully.

“Huh, huh! Not even a child. “Do you know who would like something like this?”

“Hehe, is that so?”

“But I won’t throw it away. “Because it’s a gift!”

Grumble, grumble.

Luna continued to complain.

They say this is something only children play with.

But Luna won’t know.

That you are smiling right now.

He is smiling brightly like a child.

“Hey, come quickly! Let’s eat that and then go in! “I live!”

Luna started running forward.

The sunset began to turn orange and light yellow.

Luna’s balloon was caught right in the middle of it.

Luna was still smiling.

“Miss Luna, then you fall.”

“I’m not a child!”

I followed Luna with a grin.

Ah, but that guy from earlier.

Didn’t you say you don’t have a wallet?

An ominous feeling passed through my chest.

That’s how I am.

I lost 2 silver.

* * *

“Ah, that crazy parrot? “If you’re an academy student, there’s no way you wouldn’t know.”

“Have you ever seen the devil? here? “Look, are you crazy?”

After giving me a little smile, I left. This is because the conditions have been met.

Characters that would have been NPCs in a game.

While talking with them, we solved the conditions for unlocking the hidden pieces one by one.

“Do you know that our academy was built on the spot where the holy sword was placed?”

“Yes, the holy sword that was stuck in the ground while the hero was killing the great devil. “After the hero’s death, I became more famous because no matter what I did, I wasn’t chosen.”

“But that holy sword disappeared without a trace 20 years ago. “Who took it and how did they take it?”

There was no system notification, but I could tell that it was a stagnant place.

With this, all conditions were met.

Conditions for obtaining [Imitation of God].

‘The timing of the attack is the following weekend.’

Originally, I wanted to wait for Luna’s growth to increase the success rate of the strategy.

Because I could afford to wait a week or two.

But things have changed. It became a situation where we had no choice but to proceed as quickly as possible.

It has been a long time since the idea of ​​[Imitation of God] changed from ‘it’s good to get it’ to ‘you must get it’.

because… … .

“Today, we will spend time sparring with our bare hands. “So that we can pair up two by two.”

It was the day of Charon’s class.

As he values ​​practical skills, he often took classes that required physical use.

“Next, Zero and Alex. “Come up.”

“Now, please take care of me.”

Alex bowed to me and took a stance.

I cursed internally.

Alex. A person who will become one of Annwood Academy’s ‘Five Fingers’ in the future.

You will be the ‘main character’ of this novel.

‘… … Information window.’

[Alex]

Lv: 12

Strength: 28

Agility: 17

Intelligence: 10

Stamina: 37

Horsepower: 13

Potential: 5

Possessed skills: [Hard Worker S], [Sense of Justice A], [Charisma A], [Swordsmanship C]

Title held: Natural hard worker

-I am a natural hard worker. The skill growth rate is always tripled.

-I have a very good sense of justice. When fighting with someone with ‘evil’ tendencies, +20% is applied to all abilities.

Why is Alex the main character?

Emphasis on effort, justice, passionate fool, shining appearance, unbreakable heart, etc.

Although it has the characteristics of a typical growth-type character found in boys’ growth-oriented comics.

This is because there is only one Alex to choose from when you first play the game.

‘After playing as Alex, you can play the main cast, and after that, custom play becomes possible.’

Is it because it is only for beginners who are playing for the first time?

The main character, Buff, is also a great character.

Additionally, he is one of the main members of Party 1 along with Rodelin and Raimon.

I suddenly found myself sparring with such a being.

So, it was natural for me to have a tantrum in my mind.

Not only did I not know how to fight with my bare hands, but I could have broken at one point due to the difference in stats.

“… … Hehehe, I guess I lost.”

“Yes? what?”

“Because I’m the type of person who doesn’t get into meaningless fights.”

I walked down the sparring grounds at a leisurely pace.

I hate meaningless fights, but I hate being sick even more.

When I declared surrender, the surroundings instantly became noisy.

“no way… … I was wondering if I could finally show some skill… … .”

“I know. “I know you’re hiding it on purpose, but it’s too much.”

“I guess it’s a ploy to raise the ransom, right? It’s the same with Teron not coming… … .”

“You never know. “I might get third place due to luck.”

Murmur.

Giggling.

Giggling.

Among them, there were children who laughed openly.

This is because the information that I ranked 3rd in the entrance exam is information that only a few people know.

“Be quite.”

A word that Charon spoke softly.

But it was clearly heard by everyone.

The son-in-law instantly became quiet.

“Zero, what did you just say?”

“… … “I said I don’t fight meaningless fights.”

“It’s a meaningless fight… … It sounds quite ambiguous to my ears. It’s not because you’re weak… … then.”

Charon’s eyes lit up.

“Does this mean that the opponent is too weak to be worth dealing with?”

The sparring hall was filled with silence.

I can’t even hear the sound of swallowing.

I was just trying to avoid getting hurt, but I ended up creating such a serious situation.

As expected, he was the teacher I hated the most.

“Then we can make it meaningful. Come up. “I will deal with you directly.”

Fuck you. You really can’t avoid swearing unless it comes out.

How on earth can things go wrong like this?

‘Let’s stay calm. There is a saying that even if you are bitten by a tiger, you will survive as long as you come to your senses.’

I slowly went up to the sparring hall. And then he faced Charon proudly.

What I realized when I came to my senses was like that.

Charon was not a tiger, but a murderous tank, so even if he came to his senses, he would die.

“Go for it, Zero. “I don’t think it would be a meaningless fight.”

Charon’s eyes shine sinisterly.

Well, my intuition as a stagnant water comes. I think I found a hidden ending.

Here is the hidden ending where you die at the hands of Charon.

“Ugh, how can you stand so proudly?”

“I know. “Just looking at it gives me goosebumps.”

I could have survived if I had trembled, but I can’t because of the [Mental Defense] skill.

It’s a skill that doesn’t work as I want. I’m really going crazy.

The problem is that even that spirit is captured by the [Mental Defense] skill.

Just knock him out! How can you fight a murder tank with your bare hands?

But something has to be done.

So this is what I chose.

“Hehe, I surrender.”

“… … surrender?”

“yes. Because that’s the only way I can survive.”

Now I don’t know how to fight, and I can’t sit still and die.

So surrender was the only answer. I don’t know if this will work.

“Kkeuk, kehaha!!”

Charon burst into laughter.

The laughter didn’t last long. He opened his mouth with a straight face.

“Are you saying you don’t like it unless it’s real combat? “You know very well that you are very arrogant right now, right?”

“Hehe, is that so?”

“Very much so. Zero, I will give you 3 penalty points.”

It’s 3 points. It’s pretty strong.

I’ve felt it since last time, but it’s strangely aggressive towards me.

Do you hate the appearance of narrow eyes?

But the Charon I know is a character who doesn’t pay much attention to these things… … .

“Wait! “It’s not fair!”

Luna intervened, raising her hand.

After all, my slave… … No, they are friends.

Charon’s eyes turned to her.

“It’s unfair? “Why do you think that?”

“Well, that’s right… … Sparring with the teacher is not part of the class. Surrender is also an option!”

“That’s great. “I give you 1 store point.”

“to… … ?”

The children, including Luna, were dumbfounded.

It was the same for me too. This guy, Charon, is such a strange guy that I have no idea what his standards are.

“In fact, surrender is one of the good options. In practice, it can be said to be a very good option. but!”

Right now, this is a class, not an actual game.

Not only did I disrupt class for personal reasons.

I did not fulfill my duties as a student.

“You have also blocked your partner’s potential for advancement. If you were a competent person, you should have helped me. “Isn’t that a friend?”

Charon screamed.

These are certainly valid reasons for me to receive a penalty point.

“It cannot be said that theory is more important than practice. But theory is just as important as practice. Especially if this is an academy where you can learn.”

Charon took his gaze away from Luna.

Then he glares at me.

Something seems very irritating… … Maybe it’s my imagination?

“So, 1 point for disrupting class, 1 point for failing to fulfill your duties as a student, and 1 point for eliminating the possibility of your friend’s advancement. A total of 4 penalty points will be imposed.”

“Hehe, then isn’t it 3 points? Why 4 points?”

“Oh, that made me feel bad, so I added one more point. “Do you have any complaints?”

“… … doesn’t exist.”

I’m full of complaints, but I can’t help it.

Because it’s much better than dying.

“Zero, you are a very lucky person.”

“yes?”

“It just so happens that next week’s class is the practical training you want.”

Charon’s mouth was torn from side to side.

Wow, was he a person with such diverse expressions? surprising.

“If you prove your skills in the actual game you love so much, I will not only cancel your penalty points but also grant you a store. how is it? “Isn’t it good?”

Wow.

I’m going crazy because I love it, Murderer Tank!

“Today’s class ends here. more!”

Charon disappeared like the wind.

I think he was smiling with satisfaction.

‘… … I can kind of get a feel for it.’

The children left the sparring grounds in groups.

There were also children who thanked me.

This is because Charon’s class ended in 20 minutes.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Hehe, Miss Luna. “It would be better not to interfere next time.”

“huh? why?”

“I can feel it.”

I have a feeling there’s something between that damn Caron guy and your family.

It came very quickly.
