I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Nero the Black Cat

“Whew… ”

I sighed helplessly.

Anyway, I had a lot of work today, and I decorated the end with a splendid splendor.

“aah, really!”

I screamed like a madman to myself.

No, I thought you were alone.

“Hey!”

Guess who was there

‘Oh, it’s a shame.’

I hurriedly covered my face.

I glanced around and saw that one of the young girls was also running away.

One more white-haired girl…

‘Wait, it’s a familiar back face, isn’t it?’

Come to think of it, Aine also had gray hair.

It seems like the length of the hair or the size is similar…

No, that must be an illusion.

Because Aine followed Leo earlier.

They are cadets with all-natural colored hair, for fear that it is not a world where a fantasy game has become a reality.

White hair and silver hair were also quite common.

By the way, while getting angry with Veronica, all the energy in her body was drained.

Obviously, when I screamed and hit her, I felt terribly relieved.

How long has passed and now all that is left is a sense of disappointment.

And again, depressed.

I just wanted to go back to the dorm and rest.

I just want to lay in bed like this and forget everything and go to sleep.

And, of course, I wasn’t allowed that kind of time.

What I need to do now is not to rest, but to uncover Leo’s conspiracy.

It wasn’t anyone else, it was that Leo Epsylt.

No matter how hard he tried, I couldn’t even imagine how he would work hard in preparation for a duel with me.

We have to find out what the shady and secret plan he’s hiding.

Because I didn’t believe in Leo Epsylt.

No, because I definitely trusted him to do something mean.

With that as the basic premise, I started making plans.

You never know when he might move.

It could be this evening right now.

With my tired, immobile legs leading to the dormitory, I walked towards the academy’s canteen.

‘I was going to eat this slowly.’

It’s not really necessary yet.

Also, it was difficult to eat right now.

That’s why I left it alone, and it’s useful for revealing Leo’s plans.

“ha… ”

I sighed again.

Sighs increased a lot these days.

‘I will break the money again.’

Helon Academy was huge, so there were several canteens inside the academy.

Right now, there was even a post office within the academy.

From small kiosks selling only drinks and snacks.

There is also a kiosk that sells tools and materials to be used in class, various equipment, and even books and toys.

And now the place I’m going to visit is the latter.

‘Are you sure you got this at the 2nd year summer festival?’

This performance is an item.

After I entered the academy, I was in the process of wiping out almost all of the giyeon.

First of all, this Louis Wallenstein body was not very talented.

That’s why you don’t get corrupted by touching things like magic.

Anyway, I had to get stronger even by using Giyeon.

Of course, I put a lot of effort into it.

Second, there was a risk of losing Giyeon.

Leo Epsilt, you’re such an asshole, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Now that this world has become a reality, NPCs have also become real people.

However, this was not related to combat, and it was only when I was in my sophomore year that I was able to obtain it.

So I didn’t have to go out and get it first, but now it’s different.

It is an item that can be obtained around the summer festival, but the summer festival itself had nothing to do with the story.

This is an item that will be helpful for the story of the dark side that comes later.

It’s a summer festival, it was an event for the service scenes of heroines.

Ah, thinking about the summer festival makes me feel calm again.

The first year summer festival was enjoyed with Veronica at her strong insistence.

It was really fun at the time.

Well, it’s still in my head as something I don’t want to even remember now.

At the end of the festival, I made an appointment with her who would not grumble while watching the fireworks.

Let’s come to the festival together next year.

Ha, such a promise must have been erased from Veronica’s mind long ago.

I feel bad that I still remember.

Anyway, I arrived at the kiosk with such needlessly eerie memories.

“welcome… ”

The illusion of a sagging voice flows from the counter.

It was a voice that made even those who heard it faint.

Anyway, my mood was already low due to what happened just now.

I looked through the whole stall.

Also, the desired items were not even displayed.

I can’t remember for sure, but in the game, it’s clear from which shelf next to which number it is.

So, you can save money if you get it then.

In any case, it was not during the summer festival, and there were no displays, but I was convinced that it would be in this store through my own guesses.

I turned to the clerk who was hanging out at the counter.

“to… what’s going on… ”

As I approached with nothing in my hand, the clerk said in annoyance.

“I can’t find what I’m looking for.”

“If it’s not on the shelf, it’s all gone… ”

No way.

“I’m trying to buy a summer festival mask.”

“… … ”

The clerk gets up slowly.

“No, why are you looking for a summer festival mask in winter… ”

A little mumbling clerk.

I followed her as she moved towards the door that appeared to be a warehouse.

“What would you like… Eagle? Or a lion? If not… ”

“As a cat, please.”

“cat… ? You have a very special taste… ”

She paused for a moment, but eventually entered the warehouse.

“Okay… One is enough… ”

A voice comes from inside the warehouse.

‘Maybe I would have been worried because I didn’t have enough money to buy one.’

Thinking like that, I shouted loudly so that even the inside of the warehouse could hear it.

“Give me everything in the kiosk!”

There was silence for a while.

“Is it all… ?”

“Yes!”

A clerk comes out of the store with a box.

Well, what about one box?

However, she goes back in and comes out with another full box.

It will break more money than you think, but it’s still okay…

The clerk goes back into the warehouse and comes out with a box.

please stop…

After going back and forth two more times, she stopped moving.

A whopping five boxes of cat masks were piled up on the floor of the canteen.

“… … ”

Swallowing tears of blood, paying with trembling hands.

I left the kiosk with five boxes of masks.

“Goodbye… !”

There was still no energy, but it was a voice that looked happy.

The money I had was scarce, so if I had just one more box, I could not have bought it all.

My hands are still trembling with unexpected expenses.

Because of the damn Leo bastard…

‘If I bought it during the 2nd year summer festival, one would be enough.’

I stumbled into the dormitory carrying five boxes.

bang!

Put the boxes down like throwing them away.

I quickly started putting on the masks one by one.

‘This is normal. this too… ‘

I sent four boxes like that, and the last box.

By the time I was exhausted, I was holding a mask with a peculiar feeling in my hand.

A feeling came.

‘This is it.’

When I put the mask on, it felt like it stuck to my face, unlike the hard masks I had before.

I smiled a little.

An item that adds stealth to the wearer, blocks noise, and even has a weak level of cognitive impairment magic.

There is no such thing as accidentally peeling off and revealing its identity.

The name of the item is…

‘What was it? go to nero Was it a Pluto mask?’

It’s been years since I dropped out of the game, so I can’t remember these little things.

Anyway, it doesn’t help much in battle.

It is a very good item for following someone, hiding their identity, or infiltrating somewhere.

For example, like in the original game, an academy cadet visits a dark area.

‘Or, like me, the duke follows his restraint.’

If Leo notices that I’m prying on Leo’s back, he’ll find another way.

If the professors find out that you are following the opponent you are dueling, the problem could become bigger.

It is a big deal if other cadets find out that the traitor Wallenstein is following the heir of the Epsilt family.

Either way, a bad situation.

To avoid that, he spent a lot of money to get this item.

As I said before, Leo Epsilt can move right now, even tonight.

With my mask on, I cautiously went out into the hallway.

Even if it’s a cognitive impairment magic, it’s of no use if you stare at it in the hallway.

After making sure no one was there, I cautiously headed to Leo Epsilt’s room in the dormitory.

Luckily, no one was walking in the dormitory hallway now.

When I was relieved for a while.

From over the corner, someone started to hear footsteps.

‘What?’

If you just take off your mask now, you become a normal cadet walking down the hallways of the dormitory.

However, I also check the item’s performance instead.

He moved quickly and hid behind a flowerpot in the hallway.

And, I was right.

It was Leo Epsilt who appeared from the corner.

He even had something in his hand.

Capturing him heading somewhere, I muttered with a smile on my lips.

“You’re lucky.”
