I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

6 – Main character (1)

After the duel with the Marquis’ son, if the cadets’ perception of me changed, it wasn’t.

On the contrary, it seemed to get worse.

After the morning lecture, we headed to the restaurant in the academy for lunch.

Cadets whispered past me in the hallway.

“You know what? He said he cheated in a duel.”

“Really? No matter how much, the Marquis or the Young Master?”

“Looks like it’s real. During the duel, a magic bullet suddenly appeared from somewhere. It doesn’t make sense unless it’s a trick.”

“What did the instructor say? Cheating is also a violation of school rules.”

“I guess the instructor didn’t even notice. I think you’re thorough in that area. Or did you stab me in advance or threaten me?”

Seeing a scene that made no sense to common sense, it seemed to interpret it as some kind of despicable means.

I never saw it as a duel won by my skills or ability.

Luisa whispered quietly from the side.

“I’m sure other people will know your true worth someday.”

“Thank you.”

I was able to calm down because she was there.

No one would have expected that there would be a skill that could stop time, so their reaction was not difficult to understand.

At the bottom of the entrance exam, his talent suddenly blossomed?

Common sense makes no sense.

‘It’s really luxurious no matter how many times I visit.’

Should I say learning, there was a restaurant in the academy that could provide meals for students.

It existed as a one-story building between the main building and the dormitory building.

But I don’t know if this is a real medieval restaurant.

The chandelier is basic, and a luxurious silk carpet is laid on the floor.

Unlike the university studies I know, you sit down and order a menu and the waiter brings it to you.

There is always one waiter waiting for each table, so if you want something, he responds right away.

“Boss, what would you like to eat today?”

Luisa took the menu from the waiter and unfolded it to me.

She stood to the right of my chair and waited with the waiter.

She dared to be her waiter, but it seemed that this was also her job.

She told me that if she ate with me, she would get special treatment from me, and rather, she would hear bad words from the maids, so I had no choice but to accept it.

I skimmed through the menu.

A variety of European cuisine was covered today as well.

The taste was so good that I wondered if it was really medieval cuisine.

‘… Sometimes I want to eat Korean food.’

It may sound like I’m full, but to be honest, I’m kind of fed up with eating only western food for three meals a day after possessing.

The desire to put diced radish kimchi on a spoon with a mouthful of hot soup soared.

I want to find out if there is any similar Asian food in the world, when I have time later.

“Tenderloin steak in Madeira sauce with mashed potatoes.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The male waiter behind Luisa moved to her kitchen.

Meanwhile, she poured water into the glass with her graceful gesture.

The moment I held the glass in my hand and tried to quench her thirst,

“May I sit here for a moment?”

A female cadet spoke to me from across the table.

Long silver hair and green eyes.

A gentle look with the corners of the eyes slightly drooping.

A slightly embellished smile.

It was Eliane de Chablis.

A woman who just broke up with me.

It was the first time I saw the real thing as a possessed person, but at that moment, her outstanding beauty caught my attention.

To the point of doubting whether she is a woman in real life.

“What brought you here?”

But no matter how pretty she was, she had to be wary.

As shown in , She is a person who moves thoroughly with profit and loss before meeting the main character.

An example of this is the fact that I lost her hand to her in a letter not too long ago.

Eliane said with a small smile.

“Looks like you got a little bit of a thorn in your horse.”

… Isn’t that obvious?

Because he practically notified me of the breakup a while ago.

He probably came to see her duel with the son of the Marquis.

“Because I am a bit hungry.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Without my permission, Ellie Anne sneaked her ass into the chair across from me.

She and she ordered the lunch menu from her maid.

What exactly did you come for?

It was difficult to guess easily.

In the Story, you took a few unexpected actions.

“I’m going to the training ground right after lunch, so if there’s anything you want to say to me, I won’t tell you right now.”

It wasn’t a lie.

She was supposed to be at the training ground until the afternoon lecture.

Ellie Anne raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“I’ve seen some of them dignified duels.”

“Yes.”

She lowered her eyelids and narrowed her eyes.

Soon, her green eyes lit up.

It looked like he had used his own skill.

Special abilities are sometimes given depending on the bloodline of the family.

That’s a unique skill.

She has the [Green Eyes of Insight], As I remember.

It is the ability to see with your eyes without missing even a very brief moment.

‘Ah, now I understand.’

You couldn’t see what I was doing during the duel, so you came here to find out exactly what it was.

If I used the [Time Stop] Skill, Ellie Anne’s time in the arena would also have stopped, so of course she wouldn’t have seen my actions with the [Green Eyes of Insight].

It must be unprecedented for her.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk too much about the duel.”

“Yes? You won great, but why?”

He is really good at adding adjectives that make the other person feel good, such as dignified or cool.

Eliane’s words always need to be repeated two or three times.

“Because he reminds me of him. The rice tastes bad.”

“Oh, sorry. I didn’t even pay attention to that part.”

“It’s okay. After all, we are nothing now.”

She put on a smile at my words, but she didn’t answer.

I also just laughed and continued.

“Or did you come because you wanted to cancel the engagement under the pretext of a duel?”

“… That’s not it.”

Eliane immediately got up and went to another table.

Anyway, she is destined to fall in love with the main character of Who will soon come to the academy.

Her fleeting curiosity will disappear.

Let’s keep this in mind.

No matter how pretty she is, she is one of the heroines of the main character.

She gave me more affection than a friend, but it was me who got hurt.

***

‘People have changed.’

After lunch, Elianne drank black tea as a treat. She

She And she remembered Joel, whom she had just spoken to.

Obviously before, he was a man who was just kind and lacked the spirit of a man.

The slightest compliment made his face blush and was futile.

But just now, he showed a completely different reaction, as if the substance had changed.

She tried to find out what ability he used in the duel, but he defended it thoroughly.

‘Did I hide my abilities and nature until now?’

Then why?

Why are you trying to reveal it now after hiding it?

Eliane’s mind was congested. She

She’s Joel She thought she knew all about men, but she was arrogant.

The truth is, maybe you don’t know anything.

His words flashed through my mind: Did she come to cancel the marriage?

‘Am I clinging to a man I once abandoned?’

Her pride wouldn’t allow it.

She is the third daughter of the Duke of Chablis, but she is the daughter of the Duke.

The daughter of a duke cannot commit the vulgarity of courting the son of a margrave.

She is even the one who proposed to break off the marriage herself.

Still, I was concerned about Joel’s ability, where the [Green Eye of Insight] Didn’t work.

Because there was a flaw in the unique skill that the family had considered flawless for generations.

I don’t know anything else, but I had to dig up his unknown ability to prevent the ability of the demon’s eye from being destroyed.

“Joel-sama, attach a few people to watch your every move.”

Eliane ordered the maid in a firm tone.

“But, lady, if Joel finds out, it won’t end as normal.”

No matter how much the duke’s family ranks higher than the margrave’s, they are the same high-ranking nobles.

If the fact that you were monitored is known, it could develop into a dispute between families.

She said, raising the corner of her mouth.

“Joel is the one who is about to be banished from his family. So it can be seen that it has nothing to do with the Marquis of Jahe.”

Beyond sophistry, absurd nonsense.

I knew, but now I have no choice but to push.

It may be unfounded, but I felt like I would face worse things if I left Joel unattended.

What the hell is he up to?

Deliberately pretending to be foolish, deliberately hiding one’s strength and entering school at the bottom, deliberately spreading rumors that he was expelled from the family, deliberately acting as if he had accepted an unwinnable duel, and deliberately instigating an engagement breakup.

I couldn’t read his true intentions.

‘I’m also on top of that man’s palm… ?’

How far is he looking ahead?

Elianne’s fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly.

***

After lunch, I practiced at the training ground in [Monster Subjugation] Mode before the afternoon lecture.

As the horse gun [Standard Archebus] Is C grade, it was really easy to deal with only C grade monsters.

From level B, I was able to kill only one monster by making the most of my experience in the game.

‘Not enough.’

Monsters are up to SSS level.

Among the demons, there are individuals that are stronger than SSS class monsters.

The person who has to defeat such an enemy is a knight.

In order to graduate at the top of the academy, a knight school, you must be able to defeat an S-class even if you can’t do it in the third year.

After leaving the training ground, I pondered as I walked to the classroom.

What is the most urgent thing for me right now?

If you look at the abilities, everything is terrible, but among them, the thing that needs to be improved the most.

‘mana.’

As expected, being able to fire only 6 shots was fatal.

The option of not using the [Time Stop] Skill was out of the question in the first place.

Then how can I increase my magic power?

The magic itself written on the status window, which was determined innately, cannot be changed no matter what.

You need to be supplied with mana ex post facto.

‘As expected, there are only magical candles.’

A raw material for magic potions, magic wine, and magic cigarettes.

It’s a bunch of grass with condensed mana.

Magic power increases even if eaten raw.

Of course, if you use that mana, it will disappear.

It can be said to be an item that temporarily increases the amount of mana.

However, magic candles have a fatal flaw.

A normal human eye cannot tell the difference between a magic weed and a weed.

That’s why the price of pure magic grass without weeds is beyond imagination.

Even high-ranking aristocrats can go bankrupt if they use magic grass like drinking water.

“What is this country boy?”

“Hey, this is not a tourist spot.”

There were three men standing in front of the classroom.

Two men together called one a countryman.

“Well, I heard that I have to take classes here starting today….”

A young man with dirt on his face scratched the back of his head.

Then the two men snorted, looking as if they were bewildered.

“Yes, where are the knight candidates? New recruits go to the training center like new recruits!”

A man raised his arm high as if to strike the countryman on the shoulder with the palm of his hand.

The peasant cowered in fear.

I went straight to them.

Then she grabbed the man’s wrist.

“Hey, let’s do that.”

“What is—. No, Joel….”

Even if I gossip about my lack of skills and trickery, you won’t be able to insult me in the face.

“I will deal with this person myself, so you guys can go on your way.”

The man lowered his arm and said to the group, “Let’s go.”

I looked at the countryman they were swearing at.

Ah, it appeared at really good timing.

“Are you a transfer student?”

“Ah, yes, that’s right.”

A simple-looking rural youth.

He was wearing tattered plain clothes, as if the cadet uniform hadn’t been issued yet.

“What is your name?”

“Rando.”

“Lando. That’s a good name.”

“Thank you.”

I already know.

Landau.

He is the main character of .

I have to borrow his ability too.
