I Became the Laughing Bell Character of the Academy

Chapter 3 of the main story to come.

Unfortunately, Chapter 3 wasn’t something I could prevent by preparing in advance.

This is because the attack by ‘outside beings’ is caused by none other than Tia’s mistake.

If I go and say, ‘It’s dangerous, stop it,’ there’s a high probability that Tia won’t listen.

To convince them, I have to tell them the secrets I’m hiding… … . No matter how much I think about it, I can only think of an ending that opens my mind.

“This time, it’s a regular corporation.”

All I can do now is, at best, lower the stack of [Ruler of Mana] or go around the dungeons of the week and grow step by step.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 2]

That’s why I was working on lowering the stack of [Ruler of Mana] at the training ground as usual.

Since it’s the weekend, there won’t be anyone to file a claim.

[0/100 until SSR grade magic is confirmed]

The moment I see the phrase, my impression is frowned upon.

How many stacks did you have before? I think it was around 60, but it seems that SSR grade magic has already appeared.

“Okay, you can do it again… … .”

Well, luckily, this time it wasn’t so miserable.

There is still plenty of time until Chapter 3 begins, and money aside from mana is not required, so there is no need to be so shocked.

“uh… … ?”

However, I understood the moment I saw the construction formula protruding from my fingertips.

I was still downplaying Oz’s bad luck.

The SSR class magic that appeared this time is a famous yet simple magic.

Phenomenon magic that summons meteorites and destroys the surroundings.

[Meteor]

“… … .”

moment.

Yes, there was a momentary brain freeze.

“Wait… … .”

I don’t know who I’m talking to, but I beg you anyway.

Anyway, this isn’t it.

As always with top-notch magic, its power is comparable to natural disasters.

Even the simple [Curse of the Icecap] was enough to dye the surrounding area pure white, and the [Thunderbolt God] had enough power to turn a dark night into day in an instant.

However, those two magics were basically not accompanied by physical force.

That’s why even if it went beyond the training ground and spread out, the damage wasn’t that great.

Of course, it is also thanks to the remote location of my dorm.

But [Meteor] is different.

If you have to divide it as a ratio, it is the ratio of 8 physical to 2 fire.

It means that there is an additional effect on the magic of taking and driving with overwhelming physical force.

“no way… … .”

The magic has already been activated. It’s just a matter of how it’s triggered.

I quickly jumped out of the training ground and looked up at the sky. If magic is unfolding on top of Tia’s barrier, there is still a possibility.

Even if you get cursed at by Tia, you will be able to secure your safety.

“Five.”

Fortunately, the magic circles that summoned [Meteor] were unfolding exactly above Tia’s barrier.

And the meteorites that started to come out of the magic circle were pulverized like dust as soon as they touched Tia’s barrier.

Certainly, the barrier that the [Solvent] put his heart and soul into is different no matter what.

Can’t even use the highest level of magic that destroys a city unit properly? After all, the name of the strongest in the world was not a lie.

It was the moment I was watching meteorites being ground like dust.

“No, wait… … .”

But, again, fate did not leave me happy.

One of Meteor’s summoning circles, which kept rising and disappearing, unfolded inside the barrier.

The location is exactly above the dormitory where I stay.

The result is obvious without looking at it.

My room, where the ceiling disappeared, this time will disappear.

This time, I will be sitting on the street.

“I am then.”

bang!

A huge meteorite fell from the sky with a clear sound and landed in the middle of my dormitory.

“Yeah, I knew it was going to be like this from the beginning.”

It’s only natural when I think about my luck. there’s no way it goes like this

Even if it is just one of many meteorites, the kinetic energy generated from its weight and falling speed is not to be underestimated.

There is no way that the dormitory, whose ceiling had already been smashed and started to creak, could not stand it.

“… … .”

Quagga Gaga River!

Moments later, the house collapses with a roar and bursts into flames.

My speed is crashing down.

My knees also collapse without strength.

I feel like crying.

[Erosion degree 37%]

It makes you want to run away from the harsh reality. Now that it’s okay, I hope Oz will do it for me.

“Oh, hmm. Hey, Prince of Oz? Are you okay for a second?”

“… … ?!”

At that moment, a voice from behind gives goosebumps.

A member of ＜Shield of Light＞… … No, it would be more accurate to say that he belongs to the leadership team now.

“Olivia Blue… … .”

Olivia Blue was looking at the horror I had created with a shivering look on her face.

“This is the highest level of magic… … .”

Could Tia have already noticed?

Anyway, so fast?

If Olivia Blue came to subdue me, I can only describe it as a very dangerous situation.

Would she think that I would follow in her footsteps after seeing what she had created?

If you’re like me, you’ll first pull out that sword hanging from your waist and think about it.

“Do you have anything to do with me?”

“ah… … !”

Feigning composure and questioning Olivia Blue in an arrogant voice, she turned towards me as if she had finally come to her senses.

“The head of Tiamat Academy is calling. The Prince of Oz.”

“The reason is… … ?”

“Even if for no other reason… … Didn’t it happen now?”

First of all, I don’t think I came here because of this misery.

But can Olivia Blue easily guess what will happen because of this horror?

She was lifting the rope in a cold sweat.

“… … I’ll go find it myself with my own feet.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Yes, she must have been embarrassed too.

I thought it was just an errand, but isn’t that the situation where I’m becoming a heinous criminal?

Yes, I understand.

If I try to lose my strength here, it will only shorten my lifespan.

So let’s calmly accept the end.

* * *

When he arrives in front of the academy director’s office, his feet do not fall due to hesitation.

“… … .”

Honestly, no matter how hard I try, I don’t think I can escape my anger. This time, the neck might break.

Or rather, is Tia still in ＜Skientia＞?

[Meteor] fell at the academy, but there’s no way that a nobleman like [Yongjae] didn’t notice it?

If you think about it, the main story has already been messed up. Tia might have already been away.

“… … Shall we go back?”

When I think that there might not be, my heart weakens rapidly.

Frankly, I don’t know how to explain the destruction of the dormitory and the burning of the nearby forest.

Even if I look at it, I think I can’t forgive you for being offended?

Considering Tia’s personality, wouldn’t this be the time when her throat was pulled out?

“Don’t hesitate so much, just come in.”

After hesitating for a while, a voice came from inside.

It’s not Tia’s voice.

A voice that is soft but has a distinct presence.

I know this voice

No, I couldn’t have known.

“I heard you came. His Holiness the Pope.”

“The boy from that time has already grown this much.”

[Erosion degree 40%]

[Erosion degree] fluctuates.

I don’t know what Oz thinks of her, but it’s not a very good feeling.

“a look.”

“… … .”

“That’s not a good look.”

Trying to contain her emotions, she looked around and saw Tia, who looked exhausted, with her head on her desk.

Why are you doing that again? It’s like a dried lizard.

“Tiamat, the student is watching. I don’t think it’s good for someone who should be an idol to show that way.”

“… … don’t bother me anymore Lucia. You make people too tired.”

“You sound funny. As a parent, I just asked you to clarify the truth of this situation, didn’t you?”

“Even so, I can’t crave people like this for 4 days and 3 nights.”

“ha… … . I can’t help it. So, let’s take a break for a while. Then would it be all right if I talk to this student in the meantime?”

Even after 3 nights and 4 days, are you still thinking of adding more?

At that level, Tia would have been difficult for her.

“Um… … .”

Tia lifts her head and looks up at me.

His eyes were full of disbelief, but at the same time he could see a deep tiredness.

“… … I don’t even know anymore You two know how to do well.”

Tia finished with those words and sagged like a fish that was slowly losing its strength after rising to the ground.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

While Lucia Domine lightly ignores Tia, activate [Contemplation] to confirm her.

[KP The Saint of Waiting]

Lucia Domine

[Saint of Waiting]. It is said that her identity is closer to that of a saint rather than the pope who is the owner of the key.

no other information Is it that she has some kind of ability, or is there no secret that she hides herself?

I couldn’t see through her.

“Is there anything you want to say to me? His Holiness the Pope.”

“Yes, of course.”

“… … .”

Also don’t budge.

Among the people I’ve met so far, KP was the only one who didn’t break his composure even when [Contemplation] was activated.

No, is it the other way around? He must have become the owner of the key because he was such an existence.

Then, the intimidation of [Contemplation] could not shake her.

“I would like to ask you one question first.”

“I see.”

Lucia Domine took a sip of the tea from the cup and began to talk in a calm tone.

“Because of you, Arrieta is in critical condition.”

But it wasn’t something that could be said lightly.

The content and atmosphere of the words are so different that it feels like a difference.

I never imagined that I would start with a rebuke from the start.

“Aren’t you feeling guilty?”

Yes, from the Pope’s point of view, Arietta can be said to be the most important symbol of the church, so it must be very important.

But you can’t say that outright in a place like this.

It’s obvious what she wants to do.

It is a provocation. I know what Oz thinks of Arrieta, so he’s been provoking me like that.

But it’s funny.

“Yes, it doesn’t cost anything.”

I, who would be shaken by such words, is not Oz.

As surprising as my answer was, Lucia Domine’s expression changed for the first time.

It’s bewilderment.

“Do I have any reason to feel guilty?”

“… … Are you different from the you I used to know?”

“There won’t be much of a difference.”

About 60% of them are different people, but I don’t think I’m that different from Oz.

Lucia Domine’s expression slowly distorted and her eyes began to take on a cold light.

Am I like this with [Contemplation] active?

It’s a pretty goofy look.

“Arrieta sacrificed a lot for you. I suffered a lot and suffered a lot. Are you saying you want to abandon her?”

“I know that she sacrificed herself for me, that she took on the hardships and suffered.”

“But how… … !”

“Because it’s a natural thing.”

The sincerity of Oz comes out naturally through my mouth.

It was a sign that the effects of [Erosion Degree] were growing, but I didn’t mind.

“If it had been the other way around, I would have made the same choice. So there is no reason to feel guilty even though I am grateful.”

As for Oz, I have never taken her pain lightly.

It’s not just me.

Alexios and Lena must have thought the same thing.

We respect her actions.

“… … okay.”

Lucia Domine blinked her only one eye, then nodded quietly.

There was also a slight smile on her lips.

“Then I will ask the other way around.”

“… … .”

“Don’t you resent me?”

I’m not sure what it would be like if I said it from Oz’s point of view.

maybe resentment… … I don’t think it will be until.

“It would be more correct to say I hate it.”

“why?”

“Because you took away my family.”

“So you haven’t abandoned your family either?”

That’s right.

Oz, too, forsakes his family and forsakes his own path.

But there was one big difference between her and me.

“Because it was a choice I made.”

“… … Selfish.”

“Are you just being selfish? I am self-righteous, arrogant and even arrogant. He is such a nasty person.”

I, Oz, are such a person.

He is a self-righteous and arrogant person who does not like to be forced by others and does not give up on what he has decided.

That’s why I didn’t like the fact that Arrieta didn’t even have a choice.

If it had been her choice, Oz would have accepted it too.

but… … .

“Arrieta told me.”

It wasn’t her choice.

“I want you to come pick me up.”

I implicitly, but clearly expressed my opinion that I did not want to go.

“Isn’t that enough reason for me to hate you?”

I could say this with as much confidence as I could.

Because the first sincerity that Oz conveyed to me was that promise.
