Academy Pure Love Prison Guard

16 – Miners Are Happy (1)

On the day after roaming through the royal road for two days.

Preparing for the upcoming event, I visited Class F.

I narrowed my forehead at the unexpected two trials.

“Oh, it seems there is indeed fate between you and me.”

Kerrion, who still wore a dark smile, greeted me warmly.

I thought I wouldn’t see her face outside of the dormitory.

Of all things, we happened to be in the same Class F.

Now it’s time to be careful with my buttocks.

Still, Kellion is a nobleman.

Since it wasn’t even revealed which class he was in the official guidebook,

It wouldn’t have been surprising if he suddenly said he was in F-class.

Rather, the biggest concern was the pink-haired cat, Soin, who took his seat behind him.

“Kana, why are you in F class?”

“Well, there are some circumstances.”

Kana stumbled on her words as if she didn’t want to answer.

Because of that, it was difficult to ask what those circumstances were.

“It’s happening sooner than expected.”

It was expected that changes would happen someday.

But I never expected it to happen this quickly.

Even his personality seemed strangely different, and I even doubted if he was really Kana Persian.

However, there can’t be two such unique characters, and since he himself claimed to be Kana, no one else could be.

“Hmm? Isn’t it actually good?”

The head that regained its composure sat down and turned on the happiness circuit.

Anyway, there aren’t many events related to Kana.

She’s not even a combat heroine, but rather a lover heroine, so it’s okay to not have her.

On the contrary, contact with Lily and Rain will increase now that Kana has left S-class.

That meant Lily’s pure love ending was getting closer.

“No matter how much it’s for Lily, I can’t do N*TR.”

The best way is to capture all heroines except Lily.

Telling me to do N*TR for pure love is contradictory.

“Cuck!”

“Where does it hurt? Are you okay?”

I only thought about it, but bloodshot eyes appeared.

NTR is not good for your health, after all.

I wiped off the blood on my lips and reassured Kana, who was worried about me.

‘Ah, that’s right.’

Using the handkerchief I received from Caelion,

I recalled a memory that had been sleeping on the other side of my mind.

“Hey, check this out.”

“Oh, is it a gift?”

As I handed her the neatly wrapped box, Caelion effortlessly caught it.

Whether she was dark-skinned or gay, I still couldn’t tell,

but since I received help, I couldn’t just let it slide. I prepared for this.

“This is…”

Unwrapping it, a clean handkerchief revealed itself.

– Surely this will please your friend as well.

Although I initially mentioned it was a gift for a friend,

the shopkeeper added some strange advice.

Did they think I was giving a gift to a girl?

More than that, the embroidered flower on the handkerchief.

I definitely heard the name before, why can’t I remember?

“Keshia….”

“Ah, that’s right. It was definitely a name like that. But how did you know?”

Even if she looks like a parasite orchid, knowing the name of a flower is something.

Amazed by the fact that a flower’s name came out of Caelion’s mouth, I asked,

and she coyly responded with a modest smile, saying it was nothing special.

“Thank you. Never would I have expected such a repayment.”

“I don’t want to owe anyone like this.”

Especially if it’s a debt from someone like Caelion.

There’s no intention of leaving even a small debt for the sake of harmony.

If such debts accumulate and have a negative influence on Lily, it could be dangerous.

“But why is there nobody else besides you guys? What about the seniors?”

Clearly, F-Class is a special class that doesn’t divide according to grade.

Since we don’t even have classes, we have to share the same space with the seniors.

But there were no seniors in sight, not even other people besides us.

Keirion shrugged at my question and replied kindly.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t meet them either. It seems that the seniors had no intention of coming out as you did.”

“Well, it’s weird to come out when there’s no class.”

It’s never stupid to treat Kana and Keirion.

Rather, senior citizens only use their time efficiently.

In keeping with the meditation of the four major academies, the Iris Academy provides high-quality facilities and equipment.

If your skills are good, you can even get an individual research lab. What more is needed to be said?

Of course, it is impossible to use FBA for official purposes, but if you use it well, you can gain your own space.

“By the way, Ron. How have you been?”

“Well, I just wandered around a bit.”

Answering that, he fumbled with the beads inside his bag.

The beads he was fumbling with right now were, in fact, the fruits of his labor – one of the essential ingredients of the magic sword.

[Pure Heart].

It looks like an ordinary glass bead, but it can be said that it is a unique item containing the pure feelings of the children.

The ingredients are 10 items containing pure feelings of children.

Common items such as glass shards or wildflowers received as quest rewards from children in the slums become the ingredients for the [Pure Heart].

‘Never thought the day would come when I’d make this again.’

If you’ve played the game, you’ll understand how frustrating it is.

It takes 1 week at the shortest and 2 weeks at the longest to make a [Pure Heart].

‘The problem is that either way is vague.’

If you want to make it in a week, you have to reschedule your classes.

In that case, you won’t have enough ability to equip yourself and become useless.

Even if you take classes and make it over two weeks, the boss battle will be over by then and you won’t have anywhere to use it at that time.

“`

However, it’s not as if I won’t make a magic sword. If an early weak magic swordsman has weak equipment, how will they survive?

“At this point, a lot of people give up on being a magic swordsman.”

It still comes to mind freshly, just like yesterday.

The heartwarming scene of when the influx of users wanted to be magic swordsmen and all the other users tried to stop them.

Also, the bitter sights of newbies who couldn’t overcome the first level’s gate and eventually quit due to their stubbornness.

“Of course, it was a problem during the game.”

When the foreign element of myself and the freedom of F group were intertwined,

problems disappeared completely seamlessly like snow melting in spring.

While Raine increases his stats by attending classes, I make a magic sword instead.

And at the critical moment, everything is resolved when I hand the magic sword over.

“Of course, it’s difficult for someone like me without much knowledge of the game.”

The quests given by kids boast the most terrible difficulty in the game.

Most quests are about finding things but the issue is that even the kids don’t know what to find.

Specifically, they only know about its features without knowing the name of the item.

They ask about the features repeatedly like the game Twenty Questions until finally reaching the 20th question to barely discover the identity of the item, and then they end up helping find it.

This must require explanation, especially since they have to do it 10 times total.

“It’s hard to even get materials related to attributes.”

Luck was on my side this time for discovering it.

If luck wasn’t on my side, I’d have to wait until later to obtain it.

Moreover, there was a wandering merchant I encountered at that time.

I could say that meeting him was also lucky.

“With this, the next phase will go smoothly. Now, what remains is the silver.”

The remaining material is 3 kilograms of silver.

Since silver can also be used for accessories and magic tools, the amount of 3 kilograms is too much for my funds.

However, once the preparation made before creating the “pure heart” works out well, I can obtain 3 kilograms of silver, secure funds, and train all at once.

Caw! Caw!

“Screech!”

A sudden visit from a black crow.

Startled by the crow’s cry, Kana’s fur stood on end as she began to be vigilant.

“That crow is….”

“My guest.”

Replying to Kerryon with a voice tinged with uncertainty,

She calmly approached the crow.

Bound to the crow’s foot was a small note, indicating that it was no ordinary wild crow.

Caw―!

As the note was untied, the crow flew off somewhere.

Perhaps it was returning to its owner once again.

“Jeonseogu? It’s my first time seeing a crow used for jeonseogu.”

“Well, usually, we use other birds.”

Upon checking the note, the expected contents were written:

– Ron, the student, should promptly come to see the responsible professor.

***

Knock, knock.

“W-who is it?”

“It’s Ron. I came after receiving the summons.”

After finishing a brief introduction and stepping back,

The door slowly opened, revealing the face of the female professor peering out.

“…Then, come in.”

“Yes.”

Could it be that this is the professor I met during the interview, the professor assigned to Class F?

Can I consider this another fateful encounter?

Guided by the professor, as I entered inside, I couldn’t help but admire the atmosphere, which was different from what I had expected.

Although her voice sounded frightened, it turned out she was quite innocent.

The dark atmosphere filling the room vaguely hinted at the professor’s specialization.

“Department of Black Magic.”

From the presence of skulls and eerie objects scattered about, it’s hard not to think of anything but black magic. One shouldn’t judge a person solely on their appearance. Who would have thought that this seemingly innocent professor was actually a black magician? Would anyone have noticed?

“Is everything alright?”

Only when we finished looking around did the professor open his mouth.

“There have been a total of three reports filed against you this time. Do you know what that means?”

“Yes, I understand.”

I couldn’t not know; it was what I was aiming for.

Responding calmly, the professor handed me three sheets of paper:

＜Nursery Volunteering Activity＞

＜Farm Diary＞

＜The Price of Mining＞

“Choose one of them. That will be your punishment.”
