I Became the Laughing Bell Character of the Academy

Lucia Domine’s expression was completely unreadable.

It’s different from before. If she really wants to hide her feelings, [Contemplation] won’t be able to see through them.

It would be difficult to see her sincerity through her expression.

That monster is superior to Tia in terms of poker face.

No, if you think about it, Tia doesn’t want to hide her feelings in the first place, so I think the comparison target is a bit wrong.

“Arrieta was born with the destiny of a saint. The fate was a storm that would sweep not only the child, but everyone around him. Is there anything to be expected?”

Yes, it was to be expected.

In fact, Alexios and I, who were close to Arietta, became the [successor of the King of Sorcery] and the [King of Fist], respectively.

What is the probability that those with the talent of the century are gathered in that small monastery?

“We were the only ones who could protect her from the storm.”

“You are arrogant.”

“But it is also true.”

It was the church that protected Arrieta.

Yeah, considering the situation at the time, it’s not wrong.

But that didn’t come without a price.

“How has Arrieta’s daily routine been?”

Did she say she was born with the destiny of a saint? But she probably didn’t have to grow up to be a saint.

In the end, the church only approached Arrieta with a political stance.

“I don’t know much, but I can tell just by looking around that Arietta went through a lot of hardships.”

Just looking at the ＜Shield of Light＞ that protects her is obvious.

Just by looking at Olivia Blue’s agony as she chewed her lips, you can tell something.

Doesn’t that mean that even the Holy Knights, who were united by their faith, are worried about Arrieta?

“Yes, I will admit it. hardship? I did. I did a lot. She did it to the extent that it would be considered appalling in the eyes of the common man.”

“Are you still saying you saved Arrieta?”

“That level of suffering was nothing compared to the weight of fate Arrieta had to endure.”

Lucia Domine said as if that was the problem.

Because she was a saint, she took it for granted.

“I can assure you that I grew up much safer than when I was with you guys.”

A person named Lucia Domine is very. Yes, he is a very bad-tempered person.

But she overlooked something.

“You said you were confident, so I’m sure too.”

I’m not a good person either.

“I wouldn’t have.”

Was swept away by a huge fate and became the [successor of the King of Sorcery]?

That’s not even funny.

Isn’t there no way you can get the title of ruler of a country just for that reason?

The fate of that saintess was, in the end, just an opportunity.

“Even though it was difficult, painful, painful, Arrieta would have been happier with us.”

What Lucia Domine did was certainly not wrong.

Her actions are all out of good will, and what I say is nothing but forced.

But what?

“I am so sure.”

Oz is such a person.

Even Lucia Domine couldn’t help but lose her poker face at my confident remarks.

She looked at me with stunned eyes and spoke in a trembling voice.

“You talk slickly about a subject you don’t even know a woman’s heart.”

“… … .”

“I heard that there are many women around you, but… … Indeed, judging from the way he speaks, it is clear that he has never been in a relationship.”

“… … .”

No, you suddenly bring up that topic here? It’s cowardly to go away.

Lucia Domine’s words seemed to hack my heart.

I recently heard from Eleanor that she only trusts her face and speaks without thinking, but I can’t bear to hear that from others.

I believe in this perfect probability of Oz, but am I not even using it?

No, if you think about it, there is a high probability that the original Oz was also an outsider when it comes to love. Did the magician who was challenging the gods even think about it?

“It’s not that I haven’t been in a relationship, it’s that I haven’t. It could be said that I couldn’t afford to pay attention to that because the road I had to go was rough.”

“… … .”

answer anything!

Don’t stay silent!

“Looking at what you were expecting because you were a little grown-up, you are also a normal adolescent after all.”

“… … Is that even a problem?”

Honestly, it was a humiliating assessment, but denying it here only adds credibility to Lucia Domine’s remarks.

“All right. Arrieta will have a hard time, but it’s not bad.”

“Don’t judge me arbitrarily.”

“Oh, didn’t you know? Just as you are an arrogant person, I am a person with my own standards.”

Lucia Domine smiled and rose from her seat.

“Uh, shop?”

At that moment, Tia, who was resting her head on the desk, raised her head with a twinkle in her eyes.

Her hair was wagging like a tail.

Rather, is that a real tail? how do you move?

“No, Tiamat. Are there still things left to say between us?”

“I have nothing more to say.”

“Then you will hear my complaint again one-sidedly.”

“Eek… … .”

Lucia Domine smiled at the end of those words and then approached me with soft steps.

Tia’s eyes were shining, as if she wanted her to leave, but Lucia Domine didn’t even look at the door.

“You will continue to live that way.”

As usual, Lucia Domine began to pray for me.

But still, the content is unforgiving.

“Your life will be difficult and difficult to understand. Even if others try to understand you, you will not be able to accept people’s understanding with your unique frustration.”

Just by listening to the content, I can tell that she hates me as much as I hate her.

bad personality

“I can’t bless your future, but… … .”

“No, can’t I at least bless you?”

Wasn’t it a prayer? Were you just blaming me?

“I know your purpose.”

“… … ?”

“As a servant of God, I cannot give blessings even to that challenger.”

“what… … .”

The moment I looked at Lucia Domine at those meaningful words.

Their eyes met her only pupil.

I was used to it. I just had to get used to it.

Those eyes had the same cool light blue color as the ones she had been looking at in the mirror every day.

[Contemplation]

Lucia Domine had eyes like mine.

“It was a very worthwhile meeting. The successor of the King of Darkness.”

“… … Yes, His Holiness the Pope.”

Are all KPs nothing but monsters?

It was the same she was reading about the other person.

* * *

Tia, who had been silently watching the meeting between Lucia and Oz, carefully opened her mouth after Oz left.

“What do you think?”

“He was a fun person.”

“You didn’t ask that?”

Tia lifted her head from the desk where she had been sitting with her head down with a puzzled look on her face.

“What do you want to hear?”

“Um, is the secret he holds dangerous or something?”

“If you were curious about that, you would have prepared the place from the beginning.”

“… … .”

Tia smiled and stood up and walked towards Lucia.

Her pupils dilated vertically as she looked into Lucia’s.

“Yeah, it was a coincidence.”

I hadn’t even thought of Oz’s eyes in the first place until she asserted that they were the same kind as Lucia’s.

“You can’t help but wonder, right? Because he has the same eyes as you.”

“Tiamat. It is, after all, just a characteristic of each person.”

“But I only know two people with those characteristics. There were only two of us in this wide world.”

Tia had never thought deeply about Lucia’s eyes until now.

It was because she was a saint chosen by God. There is nothing strange about having one or two of those peculiarities.

But if there were more peculiarities like that, there’s no way I wouldn’t be bothered by it.

Because those eyes are so alien.

“do not worry. Mr. Tiamat. He will be fine.”

“I’m asking him what he saw?”

Lucia Domine sighed as she met Tia’s serious eyes.

It was Tia’s chronic problem to question things she didn’t know until the end.

In such a state, they wouldn’t care too much about each other’s position.

“I did see a few things.”

Lucia Domine finally decided to tell Tia what she had seen.

Of course it wasn’t all.

I just wanted to say something that Tia could understand.

“He was a hard worker who had accumulated many failures.”

The [Successor of the King of Sorcery] was a being who overcame too many adversities to be called a talent.

“I personally don’t hate challengers like that.”

“Hmm… … .”

Tia had a disapproving expression, but she soon recovered her mood and leaned back in her chair.

“Okay, so what… … done. just.”

“Whoops.”

Lucia knew.

It has already been 50 years since Tia and her faced each other.

She knew very well that Tia liked more than anything else a man who failed and never stopped trying.

Tia will eventually get her doubts about Oz out of her head.

As the head of the church, Lucia could not bless Oz.

However, ‘Lucia’ herself had a slightly different opinion.

‘I can’t congratulate you, but… … .’

I would be able to cheer him on in his hard struggle.

‘I don’t like it.’

Because Arietta was like her daughter.

‘A child has to be let go of the nest someday.’

I decided to tolerate Oz’s arrogant challenge.

* * *

After the conversation with the pope and Lucia Domine, he hurriedly left the place.

“under… … !”

I made a mistake. I should have doubted it the first time I couldn’t see through [Contemplation].

Just as I understood her, she also understood me.

Since Lucia Domine was an NPC that was not implemented as a character in the game, I couldn’t imagine what kind of power she would have.

If so, how far?

How the hell did you even know about me?

Did you even know about the existence of a country other than Oz?

“no… … .”

[Contemplation] is the eye that sees the essence.

And when I saw Lucia Domine, I couldn’t tell much.

I couldn’t confirm the problem of the soul. If so, so would she. It is possible that [Contemplation] was interfering with each other’s power.

Furthermore, her powers and my powers will be slightly different in nature.

My [contemplation] gives ranks and titles to certain people, but it’s hard to imagine that that would apply to Lucia Domine.

“then… … .”

His hasty steps gradually become more relaxed, and his confused head cools down again.

Transparent windows in the hallway.

I check my reflection in the window again through [Contemplation].

[Heir to the SSR King of Sorcery]

Oz Quo Vadis

The first thing that caught my eye was the title and name that represent my identity.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 2]

[Space Barrier Lv. One]

And it was information about the skills I possessed. When I looked at other people, I couldn’t see the skills they had.

But that’s literally because, unlike me, their powers aren’t triggered by skills.

In fact, there was nothing written about the magic I learned.

“yes… … .”

That’s right, I was the only one who had this skill in the first place.

My [Contemplation] is activated as a skill.

It can be said that this is not a characteristic of [contemplation] alone, but a characteristic of an individual named Oz.

And under the notation for that skill, new information appeared.

[Those who challenge divinity – Seal]

Why didn’t I think to check this out?

When [Erosion Degree] reached 40%, I gained a new ability.

divine magic.

Until now, I had thought that special moves would not exist, but I was able to correct that misunderstanding by fighting Alexios.

What mattered was what I was thinking.

It was not a good thing to be trapped in a mold as a mage, and it may not have been intentional, but thanks to Alexios, I was able to get out of that mold.

[Those who challenge divinity]

It was a skill that was only in the recovery period in the game, but now I know that the basis of that ability is divine magic.

“I guess I should go say hello to Alexios?”

I was thinking of having a conversation anyway.

It would be a good idea to ask if you can rent a place to sleep.

* * *

I knew the location of Alexios’ dormitory from the beginning.

Because of the influence of [Contemplation], I was able to know if there was an existence that was equivalent to the SSR level, no matter how far away it was.

Above all, there was a point where he had been paying attention to avoiding Alexios.

Wouldn’t it make sense not to get involved with someone who is overtly hostile?

“Everything, why are you here… … ?”

I can feel that the students who have found me are paying special attention since it is a road that I don’t normally go around.

Some even walk backwards as if they had encountered some kind of beast.

Well, I understand.

It’s a well-known story that Alexios and I don’t get along.

Needless to say, even I, who have no friends, have heard the rumor.

Since they didn’t even come close to each other’s dormitory, it must have seemed like some kind of unwritten rule, and it would look like I broke it.

Anyone who sees it will know that I fought Alexios every time I ran into him.

“Well… … .”

No, isn’t that the wrong word?

When we first met, I blew up the exam hall with [Petit Breath].

The second time, the battle could have started had it not been for the restraints of the ＜Shields of Light＞.

and third.

I put the [Curse of Icecap], the highest level of magic enough to freeze a part of the forest.

“Anyway, Alexios is the problem?”

I inserted the magic, but it was Alexios who created the trigger.

i’m not bad

“where… … .”

Ignoring the reactions around them, they proceed in a straight line towards the dormitory where Alexios is staying.

When I arrived at a remote place with little people coming and going, I saw a familiar type of dormitory.

“As expected, I thought this bastard would have been quarantined like me.”

If you think about your usual behavior, it is natural.

“Hmm, hmm.”

After examining it with [Contemplation], Alexios seemed to be in the dormitory.

Seeing that Mana is in a fairly stable state, maybe he’s meditating?

But I don’t care.

“Alexios.”

I knocked lightly, but there was no answer back.

Are you thinking of pretending not to be there?

“I know you’re inside, so why don’t you come out for a second? Let’s talk.”

“Go away, you asshole.”

After joining forces to defeat [Myungwang], I thought we’d gotten closer, but it’s a tone that makes people feel sad.

If so, there is no choice but to bring up a topic that has no choice but to come out.

“I have something to tell you about Lena.”

After saying that, after a while. The door opened and Alexios appeared, with an expression crumpled with annoyance.

“… … What’s going on?”

“Can you let me in first?”

It would be better if you rent a room for both.
