I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Episode 6

Late at night when everyone is asleep.

Even the most unruly and mischievous students of Somerset do not stay awake until midnight.

Occasionally, when only the sound of insects from the open front door tickled my ears, it was my mouth that suddenly broke the silence.

“I want to go home.”

want to go home.

As I did yesterday, while staying up all night reviewing the theory of wind magic, I suddenly wanted to escape from reality.

so earnestly.

I wanted to go home.

Within 30 minutes to be exact.

[NEXT EPISODE]

I. broken peace

:D-1

“Give me back… … .”

Even if you try not to be conscious of it, you keep looking outside.

The time indicated by the clock tower.

23:30.

In 30 minutes, the first episode of ＜Academy Summer Turge＞ begins.

It’s called ‘The Night Raid’.

It is an unprecedented situation in which the invasion of monsters is allowed for the first time since the founding of Summer Turge, and the starting point of the seriousness of the story.

Despite the fact that the Empire’s barriers are still standing strong, it becomes known that from now on, the barriers alone will not be able to cope with monsters.

‘For now, the tower will be safe… … .’

Tuck, Tuck.

I tapped the floor with the tip of my index finger. It was a habit that came out when I was anxious because I couldn’t calm down.

Underpass.

This monster that was discovered for the first time has a gigantic earthworm-like appearance, although it is rare to encounter it on the ground.

As they say, deep and wide tunnels remain in the place where they passed, but already under the ground of the continent, complex tunnels like ant burrows are drilled all over.

Small, low-level monsters can freely move there, and the moment the end of the tunnel touches the inside of Summer Turge is today midnight.

“No one comes out.”

rattle!

It was my small wish of crawling down to the first floor and sitting down on my butt in front of the cold staircase.

Until the sun rises, please, may no students go outside the Tower of Truth.

The reason why it is limited to the Tower of Truth is that some characters, including the original protagonist, staying in the Tower of Freedom have already left the Tower at this point.

It was also confirmed that the related events were proceeding normally.

You should not move hastily.

Because every single one of my little movements will become a variable and work.

‘I don’t have any problems yet.’

Of course, there can be no change at all.

Because there is no main character in this world, and I am not the main character, but Rocktrin. The important thing is whether I can handle the variables that have occurred.

In that respect, variables should not have occurred in the Tower of Truth, where the main characters of ＜Academy Summer Turge＞ are gathered together.

According to the standard, students staying at the Tower of Truth are not involved in this event at all. It means everyone was asleep.

Even if you actually play the game, it’s usually only after a month or so that the main character can talk to the child for the first time.

Until then, there are almost no events to meet the people of the Tower of Truth.

What if the main character staying in the Tower of Truth gets hurt?

‘I can’t handle it.’

As a producer, I don’t know how the aftermath will blow.

From this first event, ‘Night Raid’, casualties occur. It’s because of the rules of Summer Turge.

In particular, offensive magic, which forms the mainstream, cannot be used recklessly except during classes or in specially permitted spaces on campus. Because none of them are risk-free.

In the first place, magic was researched and developed as a weapon to deal with monsters.

If you get caught, you can’t go beyond the minimum good, and depending on the scale of magic, you can be immediately expelled. There are also precedents.

But I soon realized.

“what are you doing.”

That said, I shouldn’t have done it.

I also overlooked the fact that I am one of the characters in this game.

The so-called flag was put on.

“I came out to cool off for a bit.”

“here.”

“I have some circumstances. ha ha ha.”

Even if you don’t look back, the cold voice without a pitch is very characteristic. Above all, the air was really chilled.

“Yes.”

Despite my eccentricity of squatting on the steps of the dark dormitory lobby with my hood on, Euril didn’t look too surprised.

No, to the point of asking first, it was like Aulil had responded quite well. The problem is that he tried to pass me by and go outside.

“Can you just say thank you?”

I spoke to Euril, who was walking past me. It was obviously ironic.

“Enough to cover the newspaper.”

“Where did you do that?”

“It was hard to let go.”

“I am the one who moved it.”

“okay, thanks. okay?”

“You seem heavier than you look.”

“Are you kidding me?”

Euril stopped and stopped.

And no kidding, it was really heavy. Euryl herself is a little taller than her peers, but the clothes she is wearing are inexhaustibly thick.

It was the same even now.

“Would you like some air?”

Why is Auril, who should be asleep, leaving the tower at this time? It was a question that had to be answered first.

“I woke up Someone kept knocking on the desk downstairs.”

“He’s such a bad guy. Maybe a lake?”

“Room 1303.”

Oh, it’s because of me.

It seems that he kept knocking on his desk while studying. I also stayed in my room until 11 o’clock and then came down. Habits are so terrifying.

The fact that Rockstrin is staying in Tower of Truth Room 1203 is openly posted in ‘Monthly Summer Turge’.

Isn’t this an invasion of privacy?

“Be careful next time.”

“Yes. But if you go out like that, you will get hurt.”

The conversation shouldn’t be cut off like this, so I pointed to Auril’s feet and said.

Contrary to her mysterious and cold impression, Auril has a setting that she is surprisingly clumsy.

Things like not being able to change a dress or something, being unable to use a knife and tearing a steak with a fork.

I can’t even tie my shoelaces properly.

What a shame.

“Shall I tie you up again?”

“done-“

“Because I am an expert at this.”

I had to be a bit forced here.

I quickly caught Euril’s foot as she was about to step backwards, and untied all the loosely tied shoelaces.

“… … what are you doing.”

Auril was embarrassed.

It was so sudden that I couldn’t even move my feet. I didn’t know that I would catch my feet in the first place. A white face was buried under the scarf.

I got down on one knee and bowed my head. It was a posture that could only be seen at the traditional knight ordination ceremony. Things like this old hood aren’t meant to be worn.

Since Auril is also a princess, she must have had memories of doing this to her escort knights when she was young. Of course, there is no sword and no vassals in this place.

“It takes too long.”

Judging by the expression on his face, it seemed that he was not in a bad mood.

“It is done.”

“Something is strange… … .”

that’s not natural

By the time Euril’s face began to distort as he grasped the situation, I had already taken five steps back.

I had to tie a string.

The inside that should be tightened is left loose.

The suicide prevention knot that was used for combat boots in the army boot camp was tied on the outside only.

“It’s tied well.”

It has been tied ten times, so it will take quite a while to untie.

It was a disaster, especially for Euril, who always wore thick gloves.

“What are you doing!”

“Wah ha ha ha. wahaha.”

Even if Euril glared at him with fierce eyes, there was no way to explain it. I just laughed out loud.

Just think i’m crazy

“Miss Lee… … .”

Perhaps admitting that I was insane, Euril gave up the conversation and struggled, trying to untie his shoelaces somehow.

But that’s for a while.

I immediately realized that it was impossible and sat down. Auril’s dexterity level is 3. It’s the same as the average Rockstrin.

I would have been able to loosen it if I took off the gloves, but that’s not the case. Even at late hours, this is the top lobby where people often come and go.

I have no choice but to go back to my room.

“… … ha.”

“I have a terrible disease that makes me want to tie a knot just by looking at the string. So go back quickly.”

“I woke up. because of whom.”

“What about class tomorrow? It seems that second graders have morning classes.”

“I’m not listening.”

I pretended not to know and asked.

Auril rarely attends classes.

In addition, since the events assigned as options are very rare, it is very difficult to build friendships and recruit them as colleagues.

Since he is not particularly interested in the achievement of magic and does not want to be seen by others, the setting is that he can only meet occasionally in the early morning or late at night.

“You must be cold.”

“It seems so.”

“You don’t know because you’re a freshman.”

From the time Auril was born, her body had a chill instead of warmth.

It was a terrible curse.

Possessing vast magical powers that he could not even control, he froze everything around him without even realizing it.

I never wanted to study magic or write anything, but I was suddenly given a 4-star rating.

The whole body was wrapped up tightly to keep the thin warmth and at the same time to protect the people around it.

“I have a cold.”

Of course, it was only a stopgap measure, and it was inevitable that there was a cold air around them.

Perhaps thinking it would be comfortable to show it off, Euril lowered the scarf for a moment and blew on.

Crisp.

The cherry blossom petals picked up near the stairs froze and crumbled in an instant.

“awesome.”

mate.

I applauded as if I had seen a feat.

I had no intention of sitting for long anyway. Because the intended purpose of not allowing Auril to go outside was accomplished.

As a result, he blew away his favorability rating, which he had barely built up due to his work at the previous playground, but as long as he stayed at the Tower of Truth, it wouldn’t be difficult to meet him anyway.

“I can’t speak.”

It was a subtle expression. If you look at the corners of your mouth, it looks like you’re smiling.

In any case, it must be returned.

Somerset’s dormitories, the three towers, are safe because they are built on high ground.

Since it was unstable from the beginning, there was a need to strengthen the foundation work. Therefore, the underground in this vicinity cannot be penetrated by nydus.

However, there is no guarantee that the monster that has crawled out of the nearest exit will not reach the edge of the tower.

And they won’t miss the scent of a human nearby.

“There might be others as dangerous as me. Wouldn’t it be better to climb up before the other shoe is tied too?”

“I thought so.”

“Be careful. Don’t fall.”

“You say it well with your own mouth.”

It was Auril who got up first.

The time is 11:55. Slowly, it was time for me to move, so I got up.

what. But Euril couldn’t take his feet off at all.

“Why are you standing there—”

Kihik!

All I could hear was laughter.

An unpleasant frictional sound, like scraping metal, obviously not human.

Suddenly, something’s head popped out of the bushes in the garden.

A look that does not assimilate at all with the beautiful scenery of the Summer Turf campus.

When the big head, which was out of balance on the short, gray body, waddled and swung its arms.

“oh.”

Pak!

I don’t know how that was possible with Rockstrin’s blunted physical abilities.

I threw myself without a moment’s hesitation.

He pushed Euril down with one arm, then stretched out the other and uttered a line he had practiced over a thousand times.

“”Wil Tro Tass (Wind, Compression, Projection)””

Average talent.

Average mana.

Without even a single bit of basic knowledge, the only magic I learned by wringing out my crappy brain for two weeks.

“Wind Blade”.

[The spell is largely divided into three stages: attribute, form, and solution. However, this process, which seems simple at first glance, is so complicated that it takes several months to accept it one by one… … .]

support position!

The wind, compressed to its limit, surged.

The gray head that had been laughing viciously flew away and blood gushed out.

At the same time, a terrible pang came. it’s on the arm

It would hurt more if I looked at it, but I couldn’t help but look down as I thought about it.

“Sigh.”

hurt.

it hurts

It’s ironic, since I designed it. There is a setting that that small low-level monster, Gremlin, [carries around a small blade that I don’t know where I picked it up].

And when it enters the battle event with the player, it takes the motion of throwing it.

“Why is the monster… … ?”

While Euril sat down and muttered in dismay, I tore the other sleeve with my teeth.

You can see a lump of metal that has penetrated deep into the forearm. The rugged blade ripped through the skin mercilessly, and the flowing blood stained the student’s robe red.

I bite my molars hard, but I’m not used to the pain in the first place.

I hate getting hurt, I hate being sick.

Just a normal human being

“So what did you say? They said it was dangerous.”

“Are you hurt?”

“Don’t worry, go upstairs and get a good night’s sleep.”

It will all be over by morning.

With a swish, he pulled out a hand-length dagger and threw it on the floor. Even if her personality is that way, she’s a princess, so she doesn’t have much tolerance for things like this.

Anyway, Euril wasn’t hurt, so there’s no problem. I just jumped out of the tower.

“her.”

It’s like this.

The monsters were already scattered all over the place. That’s because the main character isn’t in the tower.

Even after hundreds of tests, I don’t know how the situation has turned out on this side, as I only played from the main character’s point of view.

Unfortunately, I bit my lip as I saw the phrase slowly changing after all this had happened.

[CURRENT EPISODE]

I felt like I was going to get goose bumps.

It is no longer NEXT.

A full-fledged episode, the beginning of a terrible story I made up.

[CURRENT EPISODE]

I. broken peace

– 1. Night Raid

: It’s been a long time.

In this era where peace has become a sweet drink and made people drunk, old walls and collapsed watchtowers are no longer a big deal.

You will have to fear the future sooner than you can imagine.

As I read the phrase I wrote myself, I thought again about the thoughts I had just 30 minutes ago.

Also.

want to go home.
