I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 40

-Ah. Our Korean Air will be landing in Japan in 10 minutes. We hope you all had a pleasant flight.

The students looked out the window excitedly.

“Wow. Is that japan? My first trip to Japan.”

“This is my first time traveling abroad. I look forward to it.”

However, there were students who showed a cold reaction.

“You didn’t come on a trip, you came to visit the ‘dungeon’. Did you forget?”

“Ugh. A bastard without romance.”

“What?”

Soon the plane landed in Japan.

“Come on. Everyone from Class 1 A, follow me here.”

All the students followed the homeroom teacher out of the airport.

A middle-aged man was standing outside the airport holding a placard.

[Welcome to ‘Elpon’ Academy Class 1-A Japan.]

The homeroom teacher walked towards him and offered to shake his hand.

“Oh. You were with me. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“This is the person who provided the accommodation for us to stay this time. He is the owner of the Ohikima Inn.”

“Nice to meet you.”

He said with a gentle smile.

However, the children’s expressions were gloomy.

The desire to go somewhere and play right now seemed like a chimney.

“This person decided to provide accommodation completely free of charge for the students of ‘Elpon’ Academy. For two nights and three days.”

“Wow. Really?”

At the word that it was completely free, children’s eyes began to light up in an instant.

“Yes. My child is also attending an academy in Japan, but he doesn’t look like anyone else. I just look at the students and they all look like sons and daughters. hahahaha”

He smiled kindly.

I smiled.

You act well.

In fact, he has a different purpose in renting the inn completely free of charge.

“The dungeon you will experience starts at 3:00 PM. I will send the detailed location to each cell phone.”

“Teacher. Is it 12 o’clock now?”

The children’s eyes sparkled.

“Tsk-“

The homeroom teacher clicked his tongue.

“Teacher. Please. Until then, it’s free time. Yes?”

“……Yes. Okay, I’ll give you some free time until three o’clock.”

“Really?”

The children began to gather in groups that were close to them.

“Just.”

At the words of the homeroom teacher, the gathered children stopped.

“You have to go in a group of two.”

“Ah-“

I heard the children’s original voices.

“Then let’s do it without free time.”

“Is that a really good idea for a pair of two?”

After that, Joe was randomly called by the homeroom teacher.

By the way, I kept feeling the stinging stare next to me.

I turned my gaze to the side.

Jeong Ha-yeon’s mouth was sticking out.

Hayeon Jeong and I are in the same group.

I probably wanted to be in the same group as Radeon, but I guess it’s dissatisfaction because I’m in the same group.

“If you go to school separately from your group members, your class attitude will be drastically cut, so everyone be prepared.”

“Yeah-“

Students began to scatter in groups of twos and threes.

“…..”

I looked at her without saying a word.

Originally, on this trip, she gets an item that will help her awaken.

That item was obtained when Cha Ji-yoon and Jeong Ha-yeon went together on this trip.

The problem is that they are now in the same group as me.

I have to take her to her place with that item.

“Hey. Where are you going?”

I told Jeong Ha-yeon.

“You don’t know.”

“We’re in the same group, so why do we have to go together?”

“Just because you’re in the same group doesn’t mean you have to go together.”

“Your teacher said that if you don’t go out together, your attitude score will be greatly reduced.”

“It’s not like the teacher is following you and monitoring you, so how would you know that?”

“….”

“Anyway, then you go alone, right? I go then.”

Jeong Ha-yeon turned away from me.

I can’t do that.

Diriririring-

“Hello?”

I could feel Jeong Ha-yeon’s ears pricked up to this point.

“Yes. Teacher. It’s not different, but ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’, who is in the same group as me, says he doesn’t go out with me? Attitude score..”

She rushed to me.

She hastily took the phone away from me.

“hahahaha. I am going with the teacher. Do not worry.”

As she said that, she glared at me.

“That’s actually not on the phone.”

“What?”

She looked at her cell phone as she said that.

She finally confirmed that the phone was not ringing.

“Crazy man. You were surprised.”

She made her cheeky expression.

Then she turned her back on me.

“Then, I really want to go this time.”

“Ah. But next time I will really call you.”

I told her.

“…..”

Her steps stopped.

He sighed and came closer to me.

It’s really nice to hear when you say something nice like that.

“Yes. What do you have somewhere to go? You have to kill time before 3:00.”

Jeong Ha-yeon said.

“Uh. There is?”

“Really?”

“Uh. Let’s go to the Artifact Shop or look around. There may be items that can be useful after entering the dungeon.”

“…I have a lot of artifacts anyway?”

She took out the many artifacts she had stored in her subspace cloak.

Not only are there a lot of them, but they are artifacts that are difficult for ordinary people to find at a glance.

As expected, she was the daughter of the president of the ‘Hunter’ association, so there were many valuable artifacts.

“I know where there are artifacts that will surprise you.”

“I’m not very impressed by the artifacts. Anything is there. Wouldn’t it be better to go get something to eat?”

“Just trust me and come. I know where the good artifacts are…”

I took a taxi.

She got into the taxi unexpectedly.

I called the taxi driver for my destination.

Ten minutes later.

We arrived at Ginza Street, which is famous for its luxury goods.

“Let’s get off.”

“Uh.”

Jung Ha-yeon got off the streets of Ginza and looked around her.

“Where should I go?”

“Just follow me.”

Jung Ha-yeon started to follow me without a word.

Soon my steps stopped in front of the artifact shop.

[‘Akasaka Sacas’ Artifact Shop.]

The exterior of the building was very luxurious.

At first glance, it was clear that this place only goes to wealthy nobles.

There was a huge waiting line in front of the store.

At first glance, it seemed like we would have to wait several hours just to get inside.

“Hey. Are the queues here too long? By the time you get here, isn’t it past 3 o’clock?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

I skipped the line and started walking toward the store entrance.

“Hey. Aren’t you in line?”

Jeong Ha-yeon said.

“It doesn’t matter. I made a reservation in advance.”

“What? You made a reservation? Are you in a place like this?”

Are you in a place like this?

That word is a little harsh, but it doesn’t really matter.

As I opened the door and tried to go inside, the guide stopped me.

“Guest. You have to stand in line. It’s embarrassing to cut in line like this.”

“Look at that. Do you have to stand in line? Let’s just go get something to eat.”

I turned on my cell phone.

[‘Akisaka Sacas’ VIP Ticket]

It was a ticket I got from Cha Ji-yoon.

I turned it on and showed it to the guide.

“Ah. I have offended you. You don’t even recognize the VIP, come inside.”

Then the guide’s attitude changed 180 degrees.

“What? Were you a VIP here?”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at me as if she was surprised.

“Where can I direct you?”

The guide said.

“Please guide me to the place where the ring artifacts are gathered.”

“Yes. All right.”

I was following the employee.

“Hey.”

Jung Ha-yeon tilted her head and said to me.

“Why?”

“Don’t you go around wearing something like a ring because it’s cumbersome?”

“…..”

“I’ve never seen you wear a ring before? Didn’t you hate it?”

That is actually a misunderstanding.

It’s just that I couldn’t get the ‘Ring’ artifact because I didn’t have enough money.

Of course, I can’t find it even now.

“Uh. I hate rings. That’s why it’s okay not to wear them.”

To say that I didn’t wear it because I didn’t have money was a bit too much, so I showed vain pride.

After following the guide, a store full of ring artifacts unfolded.

Jung Ha-yeon looked around the store with her eyes sparkling.

“Oh. As you said, there are a lot of useful artifacts here, right?”

I looked at the ring with the crystal in it.

That ring is the one she must obtain.

“Big. Big.”

I cleared my throat.

“Hey. Isn’t this very pretty?”

I whispered to Jeong Ha-yeon.

“Oh. It’s really pretty.”

Jung Ha-yeon burst into admiration as she looked at the ring.

“Is she that pretty?”

“Uh. To the point where I just want to wear it even without the artifact effect.”

“You want to wear that?”

“Uh. It is very pretty.”

I let out a sigh of relief.

I’m glad.

Originally, that artifact is a must-have for her future growth.

I’m glad you like her.

“Then, what is the price of this?”

I asked the waitress.

“The price is 10 million won.”

“…Yes?”

Did I get the price wrong?

Originally, the price of this artifact is 300 million won.

This artifact is not just pretty in appearance.

The artifact’s ability is to double the magic recovery amount.

That’s why the price is quite expensive.

“Ah.. Actually, the items we have are not ‘genuine’.”

“…Yes?”

That moment.

A notification sound rang.

[‘Setting’ Change ‘Crystal’ Ring – Difficulty to obtain was judged too easy. It raises the difficulty of obtaining it.]

“….”

f*ck.

How did you want to get it so easily?

“The original ring we had was stolen, so we put a replica ring on display.”

“….”

The difficulty suddenly rose.

However, the outline is roughly captured.

Who stole this ring?

It sucks. It’s a pity

Still, even though it’s just a fake, wouldn’t the hidden function be the same?

The superficial ability of this ring is to double the amount of magic recovery.

However, there was also a hidden ability.

I channeled Nam Do-yoon’s unique magic into this ring.

Tee-Ring-

A blue interface popped up in front of me.

[‘Crystal’ ring (fake) – Effect: None]

-Hidden effect: Increases all stats of the wearer by +0.1 Per day.

I grinned.

Although it is only a fake, this function is still intact.

“Then could you give me this ring?”

“Really? It’s fake, but are you okay?”

“Yes.”

“Then I will get you out right away.”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at me like that and put on a blank expression.

I said that to Jung Ha-yeon.

“Hey.”

However, she did not react.

I kept staring blankly at that ring.

“…?”

She quickly turned her gaze from the ring to my face.

My eyes met hers.

Her pupils started shaking like an earthquake.

“Hey. I am going to the bathroom.”

I left this place in a hurry like someone running away.
