Alchemist After Possessing

96. Taunt

96. Provocation

Sotia Notified Ansync that Sonia is participating in the Melgard Tournament. Ann Sink sees me and says she will help Sotia a little, and she takes her shield from somewhere and gives Sotia a lesson.

In the meantime, I’ve been rehearsing the stabbing position. Due to this confrontation with Sotia, my chronic problems were more and more exposed to the surface.

That’s just because the muscle strength is weak. I thought that if I properly mixed and used alchemy items, I would be able to overcome it. But isn’t using a spear fundamentally a warrior?

It doesn’t make sense that warriors have weak strength, so I think I should invest time in strength training.

“Now, let’s stop here for the morning, let’s have lunch.”

Ansync said that while clapping his hands. He seems happy to meet a good-hearted and talented fighter like Sotia Sonia.

He used to earn money by tutoring in the past, but as he said, he stopped taking disciples as the disciples he raised with blood and sweat died one after another. Even so, it seems that the pleasure itself of nurturing disciples has not been abandoned.

“Ansink man is really amazing. You said that when he went to the old academy, he was called Weapon Master, right?”

“Yes. It’s also the reason why I became Master’s disciple. He is not only talented, but also has a great personality.”

When I said that, Ansync, who was walking ahead, shook her shoulders. He’s pretending not to hear, but he must have pricked up his ears to hear our conversation.

So we went into Ansink’s house and had lunch with apple pie and milk. And then, Ansink had strawberry wine. Me and Sotia brewed the strawberry tea we brought and enjoyed tea time.

It was when I was about to leave the house for the second round of training. From the second floor, the sound of the door opening and the sound of stepping on the stairs can be heard.

“Dad, where are you going in the morning… “

“Is Ruby awake? I went out with my disciple for a while.”

“…… “

Ansync’s adopted daughter, Ruby Cavian, came down from the second floor. She looks at us and is speechless. After she looked at the plates on her table. She said nothing and she went up to the second floor.

“Is this your daughter?”

“Yes. Miss Sotia. She is the kid who will be your junior next year. She hopes to go to the Mel Guard class.”

“I see. I guess I will have a junior too.”

“Please take good care of my daughter later.”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Then let’s go.”

Ansync got up from his seat and said that. His expression is dark for some reason.

“Master’s expression is not good. What are you doing?”

“… That’s great. Woros, your powers of observation are always amazing. Come to think of it, I noticed right away that I like alcohol.”

“If the sun is up and you’re drunk, everyone notices.”

“Is that so?”

Ansync sighs deeply.

“Because Ruby is your age too. You guys know Ruby’s heart better. The truth is. I’m worried because Ruby is in a rebellious period these days.”

“Rebellion period?”

“Yes. Go into her room quietly as she just did if you’re docile. It means tick-tick every day. I don’t know what she wants.”

After hearing Ansync’s words, I got the hang of it. Ruby is a half demon. She has not told anyone about it, including Anne Sink, and because of that, she wonders if she can live with Anne Sink, a normal human being herself.

Ruby actually loves her father very much. After Ann Sink’s death in the final chapter of Part 1, she develops an extreme hatred of humans. I will prevent Ansync from dying. The problem is that no one dares to catch why Ansync dies.

If you raise her Ruby’s affinity with Rin Len, she will be able to hear her circumstances. She says that her father died because of her sleep, and there is an event that brings her to tears. As an orphan, she used to regret saying to her father, who picked her up and raised her, that she only made sharp noises every time.

Even if she becomes Anne Sink’s disciple every round, the situation is the same. Part 1 When she returns after being away from the academy for a spring break event, she comes with the news of Ann Sink’s obituary. Ansync is a special person to me, but he’s one of many NPCs from the game maker’s side, so he might be treated that way.

It’s just one of the NPCs that will make the main character stronger, and it’s just a supporting role that will save Ruby Cavian’s character.

In , There are quite a lot of information that seems important but intentionally hidden, and one of them is Ansync’s death. Whether it’s the game company’s philosophy, things that were supposed to be hidden are never released.

I think it was a choice with the next project in mind. Even if Ansink’s treatment was harsh, he focused on his adopted daughter, Ruby Cavian. In the epilogue of , After Rin and Len graduate, there is a scene where the new main character enters school, and at that time Ruby is in 4th grade. In other words, she is the body that becomes the senior of the protagonist of the next film.

Perhaps the story of Ansync might have been unraveled in the next film. No, I would have thought of releasing it. Yes, if you listen to the QnA of the creator, Ruby Kabion will be the next one. Because she said she plays the role of Lerisha.

Speaking of Larry Xia, she guided and helped Lin and Len. Wasn’t she the best supporter, colleague, and senior? If Ruby were to inherit such a position, she would have her share.

Anyway, I have no intention of letting Ansync die. Additionally, I want to release the relationship between Ansync and Ruby. Yes, Anne Sink loves her daughter very much, and Ruby also loves her father very much. In order to do that, you should keep an eye on Ansync and prepare for the danger.

“Master. We will wait a bit.”

“What do you mean?”

“Did you know that Ruby just looked over the plate?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

I held out the teapot and continued.

“It has incredibly delicious strawberry tea in it. I developed it. Please bring me this and apple pie. You should be very hungry by now.”

“Is that so? Surely. It seems so… I get it.”

“Yes. Bye.”

Ansink gets up from his seat, grabs a kettle of strawberry tea, and runs to the kitchen in a hurry. Apparently her daughter is hungry, so her heart seems to be in a hurry. Ansync went up to the second floor and returned about three minutes later. He had a somewhat relieved face.

“Ruby. Then he started eating the apple pie I gave him.”

“I see.”

“Then. Thank you for being shy. He said he would eat well.”

Ansync smiling dad. Ruby is actually not a difficult person. She’s just a girl who doesn’t know how to be honest about her feelings. Looking at her like that, the problem was that Anne Sink believed only what she saw and approached her.

Ruby suffered from a high fever. She can’t communicate her feelings, she says she’s all better now, and Ann Sink believes that and she goes out for a drink or something like that.

Anyway, Ansink’s daddy smile stayed with us until the end of the training night. Having finished today’s training like that, Sotia and I said our goodbyes to Ansink and went back to our room.

“Ansink man. You are a good father.”

“Yes, he is a wonderful man.”

Ansync talked about meeting Ruby during training. The story is that when Ann Sink went out on a mission to subdue monsters alone to make money, he rescued Ruby from the monster nest and brought it back.

Sotia liked that heartwarming story. She had made a promise to Ann Sink that if Ruby joined Melguard’s class, she would come and take care of her.

“Come to think of it, don’t seniors study subjects?”

“Of course I do. She intends to close her shop early for the time being and spend her time studying.”

“Then, why don’t you join us? Me and Eldenia-nim.”

“That would be nice, but there is a prior promise. Because I decided to study with Nishia and Denas-senpai.”

Sotia looks disappointed at my words.

“If you don’t mind, come to the store with your textbook. Come join us.”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course. The store people will also welcome you.”

“Oh, I see. Eldenia-sama wants to see you too… “

Sotia hurriedly covers her mouth. Chatting afterward, she passed through District 3 and came into Melgard’s realm. As she was, she passed through District 4 and was going to reach District 6, where the greenhouse and the grounds of the cult were located.

But she said Sotia said that she had to stop by Melgard Dormitory to get her textbook she lent to a classmate, so she decided to stop by Melgard Dormitory.

A silver-haired monster might appear, so I walked while checking the potion. Sotia and I arrived in front of the Melgard dormitory. The aftermath of the freezing incident is still lingering, and the guards are busy patrolling.

“Senior, thank you very much for coming with me even though it is my personal business.”

“If you only receive textbooks, it won’t take long, don’t worry.”

“Even so. Thank you in many ways. That… Thanks to the senior, she was able to escape from the slump. Because my dream has become clear.”

Sotia says that, twisting her body in her shyness. It’s good for my juniors to rate me highly, but if I entrust my dreams in this way, my shoulders become heavy. As I was thinking about that, I heard a male voice from behind me.

“Ohh, who is this? Isn’t that Woros? And Sotia is there too?”

And the owner of the voice. It’s a shoulder to me out of the blue. I turned my head and looked at the man walking on the shoulder.

Someone said, he’s the second-year student in Melgard’s class. This guy is quite an opportunist, he treats students who are judged weaker than himself, and he is also a person who is more respectful than anyone else in the presence of a big player like Leri Shah.

A person like that walks me by the shoulder as if he knows me. He seems to be perfectly aware of me as his down.

“Sotia. Proud Melgard’s second-in-command. It’ll be a big deal if you hang out with a guy like this.”

“… !”

At his words, Sotia widens her eyes and clenches her fists. She sees her eyes twitch, that’s mad. Sotia doesn’t get angry easily. Even in the original work, there are very few scenes where she gets angry. But once she gets extremely angry, she can’t be easily stopped.

First of all, with the thought of dealing with this situation, I grabbed his hand and forcibly removed it.

“Quite frankly, you have no qualms. It is in front of the junior. Isn’t it a bit harsh to say that he is this kind of guy?”

“Whoa. The guy who was busy running away when he saw me last year… Ah! It’s true that it’s in front of a junior-“

“Enough with that.”

Sotia took a step forward. She put her hand on the hilt of her sword. I bet you It can be said that Sotia is stronger than this bully. That means that. Sotia has her eyes completely flipped. She means that if she swings her sword at this bastard, she will have an accident.

I gulped down her saliva and turned her around to look straight at her Sotia and opened her mouth.

“Sotia. Be still.”

“No. I’ll take care of it, senior-“

“Do you remember what I said in the corridor of the Shiza Education Building?”

I have told Sotia before. If someone ignores me, I will cling to them tenaciously and hit them with their skills. Sotia then recalled the story she had told her, then lowered her hand from her sword and stood behind her.

“Hey Sotia. She’s in the same Melguard senior line, so I’ll give you advice, but this guy is—”

“Hey.”

As I cut him off, he looks at me with his eyes narrowed.

“I won’t talk too much. Just say sorry and I’ll just let it go. This is your last chance, so think carefully.”

He opened his eyes wide as if surprised by my provocation. It was said to provoke, but the words “Last chance” Were also sincere.
