The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 173



The Evil God

Late at night, I returned to Felix Hall, packed up my few belongings, and lay down on the bed.

I was tired. And my head was spinning.

“The evil spirit···.”

I rubbed my aching temples and sighed deeply.

It was as if it were true. If what the Master said was true, then it was almost a done deal that the evil spirit had descended.

It’s an unexpected event. In fact, the descent of the evil god is a rare occurrence even in games. Usually, the world ends happily before the evil god descends, or the world is destroyed before the evil god descends.

Even I, who have invested over 10,000 hours into [Harem Academy], have only seen an evil spirit actually descend three times while playing the game.

And all three of those instances happened out of the blue, very suddenly.

The screen suddenly darkened, then turned a dark red, and the bad ending credits started to appear out of nowhere.

At first, I thought it was another user’s prank. That’s because in the beginning, I was following the strategy posted by another user on the community.

Naturally, I commented on that post saying, ‘This is a rip-off. This is a guaranteed bad ending route,’ and I couldn’t help but feel hurt after that.

Because, among the users who followed the guide, I was the only one who saw the bad ending credits.

In addition, I played the game again according to the walkthrough to take screenshots to clear my mind of the frustration, and unlike before, I was able to see the happy ending credits.

Other cases were similar. There was nothing that could be a problem, but the screen suddenly turned black.

As I’ve discovered from hanging out in the gaming community, this phenomenon isn’t just happening to me.

Every so often, a post would appear on the bulletin board saying that an evil spirit had descended and caused a bad ending.

The cases were varied, but they had one thing in common: no matter what play you were doing, an evil spirit would suddenly descend.

People considered this to be some kind of bug or a trick by the developers and restarted or quit the game, and I didn’t pay much attention and just created a new character.

Even if the bad ending came out of nowhere, for me, all I had to do was create a new character.

But now, things are different than then.

Because I’m not a game character. This place is like a game, but it’s not a game.

I am alive. And this is the real world. There is no rebirth, no return to the past, and things that are dead or gone do not return.

A random thought. If this were a game, wouldn’t the bad ending credits have been displayed on the monitor by now?

While I worry about that, I also think that it’s a good thing.

“I said it wasn’t a complete descent.”

The Master said that the evil spirit he had seen was wandering around in Berheim’s body.

What that means is that the current evil spirit did not descend completely like in the game, but rather in an incomplete state.

The Master also said that, in his opinion, there is something that must be done in order for the imperfect evil spirit to descend completely.

When I asked what it was, the Master answered like this.

-“You are the vessel of sin and the one who opens destiny. For the same reason, long ago, the evil spirit showed a mad obsession with Berheim, who was similar to you.”

I don’t know exactly why the evil spirit needs me. Only one thing is certain. As long as I exist intact, the evil spirit will never descend in its full form.

In addition to that.

-“And··· the evil spirit will also want this body, which is entangled in an old contract.”

I also need a teacher. I don’t know, but I think I have the strongest teacher in the world. There was a reason why I was so fortunate.

By the way, I don’t know, but why does the Master need the evil spirit? When I asked about this, the Master answered in a calm voice.

-“I don’t know. I’ve tried to find out, but I haven’t been able to figure it out yet. I just know that it needs me because I’m tied to a contract.”

When I heard the answer, I immediately thought to myself, there’s something more.

I don’t know yet what that something is. Whether it’s playing a game for 10,000 hours or living for 1,000 years without dying.

However, there are things we know and need to prepare for.

The evil spirit will try to take us.

I don’t know what number I’ll use or when, but I’ll definitely come to this place where Daphne and I are someday.

So we had to prepare. Even if it was imperfect, an evil spirit was an evil spirit, and for now, I was the only one who could fight it.

It would be great if the Master could fight, but she is bound by a contract and cannot fight against evil.

It would be nice if someone else could fight for them, but the reality is that they currently cannot even handle sin, let alone evil.

So there is no one but me. The question is whether I can defeat the evil spirit in my current imperfect state…

-“If it doesn’t work out, shouldn’t we try our best?”

-“This teacher will help you, so let’s give it a try.”

The teacher said, “I will teach you everything about myself starting tomorrow, so let’s give it a try.”

Maybe that’s why. It was definitely a gloomy situation, but strangely, I wasn’t too worried. To be honest, I can’t imagine losing to someone after having learned everything from my teacher.

It’s just a minor concern.

-“Starting tomorrow, you will stay here. If I, a professor, were to live in your dormitory as a cadet, rumors might spread.”

-“Oh, right. While we’re at it, let’s fix that mentality that seems to only care about women. Are you ready?”

The fact that I have to stay with the teacher as before,

The fact that he had to endure the Master’s brutal beatings under the pretext of teaching and mental reform.

and.

“Dad, where are we running away to?”

A girl in floral pajamas rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up and started talking to me… no, a bluebird.

“no.”

“But what are those? Why did you pack your bags in such a hurry when you weren’t even running away?”

“He ran away and was caught.”

“Huh? To whom? Is it Dad’s height?”

I was so scared of how that little bird, who was talking nonchalantly to my father (of course not my real father) and was just a little kid, would offend my teacher and cause me harm.

“Grandma Neug.”

“Huh? Grandma?”

“There is something like that. From tomorrow onwards, you too must be prepared. Grandma is an incredibly scary person, incomparable to anyone you have ever seen.”

I was worried, so I grabbed Twit’s shoulders and spoke in a stern voice. I wonder if Twit knew my worries or not.

“Wow, so I’m going to be a grandma too? Grandma is a grandma! Grandmas have wrinkles all over their bodies and sagging breasts!”

He laughed out loud and muttered some horrible words that I couldn’t figure out where he had heard them from.

****

Early in the morning, long before the first class at the Academy began.

Four men and women who had been suddenly called were entering Daphne’s office.

“Assistant teacher.”

“Uh …

Daphne, who saw this, called the assistant who was organizing the documents with her.

Then, the assistant looked at Daphne with fearful eyes.

The assistant was obviously working with him, but in reality, he was the only one working all night, so he was thinking that he wanted to end this life as soon as possible.

That’s what it was.

“Is it very difficult?”

“Uh …

“Just go and rest for today. Here, take this and buy some restorative medicine.”

A gold coin was placed in the palm of his hand, along with a voice he had never heard before.

“Hey, hey hey···!”

It was as natural as nature that the assistant screamed, swore allegiance to Daphne, and ran out of the professor’s office at an invisible speed as if he had teleported.

“I have a secret to tell you.”

Daphne, who had been looking at the sight with pleasure, soon turned her gaze towards the four men and women who had entered the professor’s office.

From noble mtl dot com

Fran, Sage, Rose, and Daisy, who had caught her gaze, swallowed dry saliva and waited for her lips to open.

“The reason I called you was···.”

Daphne began to speak to the four men and women in a serious voice.

Unlike before, the atmosphere was serious. The content of the story was serious and demanded responsibility from the four men and women.

“···Is everything you have said so far, Professor, really the truth without a single lie?”

When the story was over, Daisy asked with trembling eyes.

“I swear by my beloved disciple, Camel.”

Daphne answered the question even while wearing a camel as a token.

“Professor. If the situation is that serious···.”

Rose, who was looking at Daphne like that, opened her lips for the first time today.

His fists were clenched, his lips were trembling slightly. He looked like someone who had prepared for something.

“How about we stay together in the log cabin until then?”

A question that Rose asked with courage after being prepared.

“That won’t do.”

Daphne answered that question in a firm voice.
