chapter 20
Morality has become thinner
I hope we will meet soon like this.
It seems that Leo was in a hurry too.
Well, if you don’t want your sword taken away, you’ll have to work hard.
‘Even if I did, it would be useless.’
I cautiously came out from behind the flower pot.
He continued to look around as if he was anxious.

Just like there is something stabbed.
My conviction that he was up to something was only solidifying.
“Dark Young News.”
As I mumbled that, my body disappeared into the shadow of the hallway.
Well, it was an analogy.
When I first played the game, I was wondering what kind of martial arts skill would appear in a fantasy world.
Once this became a reality, it was a very convenient gig.
Since I’m wearing the mask I just obtained, my presence in the hallway has completely disappeared.
‘Oh, I have to go see Master too.’
I carefully started following Leo.
He continues to look around, but that’s barely enough to see through me.
After leaving the dormitory, there was no danger of being caught now.
Although there are street lights everywhere to illuminate the dark campus.
Even so, there was still enough darkness for me to hide.
Leo Epsilt didn’t run, but anyone could see it and walked somewhere with an urgent gait.
‘Where? What are you aiming for?’
He is holding something that looks like a paper bag in his hand.
Maybe there is a family collaborator in this academy.
I doubted it at first.
However, Leo never met anyone.
Rather, the direction he was going was a path I was familiar with.
The direction I was going after writing the letter right after subjugating the gargoyles.
‘Is this on the post office side?’
My prediction was correct.
Leo finally arrived at the post office.
What was in hand was a letter.
After he went into the post office, I thought outside for a while.
I had no idea who he was writing to, and I had no desire to know in the first place.
But, if that’s a letter written right after I applied for a duel and sent with such a vigilant look, it’s a different story.
I decided.
I’ll have to check that out.
At the very least, I wouldn’t be beaten by the number of gnomes as I expected.
Even if that was a personal letter without any problems, well.
I don’t care because I’m not good enough to feel guilty about the guy who attacked me.
While I was thinking about it for a while, Leo finished his work and left the post office.
His hands were now empty.
Anyway, the post office is closing soon.
I won’t be sending out his letter right away today.
Rather than infiltrating the post office where there are still people, I decided to follow Leo first.
I was hoping that it would show something different.
Leo just quietly returned to the dormitory.
Follow me to the end, and make sure he enters the room.
How much did it cost to put on a mask and hide in the shadows and keep an eye on it?
He didn’t leave the room until the very end.
Convinced that I wouldn’t decorate anything more today, I headed back to the Academy Post Office.
It was quite late at night now, and I only ran into about one cadet on the way.
Of course, they didn’t even notice me there.
Unlike before, the door of the Academy Post Office was firmly closed.
All staff appear to have left work.
I secretly made my way to the back of the building.
Infuse mana into his legs, and jump up the outer wall of a building using footwork.
“Suck!”
It climbed up the drain pipe and clung to the window on the top floor of the building.
If anyone sees it, it’s the appearance of an invincible assailant.
‘As expected.’
Unlike under the building, the windows on the top floor were not properly locked.
After all, what kind of madman would have thought that he would break into the Academy post office window in the middle of the night?
I thought about breaking it if it was all locked, but I’m glad it’s open.
A good hero like me doesn’t do things like vandalism.
Open the window, being careful not to make a sound.
Since then, it has been a breeze.
I went to the storage room and searched the payment box first, but unexpectedly, there was no letter from him.
I started checking the regular mail again one by one.
… Suddenly, I feel a little pitiful in my condition.
Even if I read all of Kiyeon and Quest, Louis Wallenstein’s body is so hopeless, there are still a lot of guys stronger than me outside the academy.
I’m acting like a thief and an assassin right now.
Even thanks to his mask items and footwork, he’s not just a thief, he’s a super thief.
I don’t know, but within the academy, wouldn’t my stealth and follow-up skills be unique?
‘No, I have to catch the Demon King… ‘
I was growing up in a strange way.
While I was rummaging through the mail, thinking about various things.
An envelope engraved with a familiar sentence was held in my hand.
OK, I found it.
He sighed in relief and took off his mask.
I began to open the letter engraved with the Epsilt family crest, carefully, leaving no trace.
In case someone was not the duke’s son, I read the letter written in a rather elegant handwriting.
And, the more I did it, the harder my face became.
After reading the letter at last, I spit out a low contempt.
“Hey, is this really a hero candidate?”
I knew for a long time that he was a spoiled human being.
Still, isn’t this too harsh?
It was disgustingly low-key, and patheticly simple.
Seriously, it was a simple plan that any cadet ahead of a duel would have thought about at least once.
The only difference between them and Leo is that Leo has enough background to make this a reality.
“Potion, potion, potion, potion, potion… ”
In a situation where laughter came out, I left the room humming the potion.
After reading the letter, I kept thinking that I had needlessly over-guarded him.
That’s because Leo’s plan was disappointing.
‘No, you should consider it fortunate. Not much fun, but… ‘
It was fine.
It’s now my job to use this to decorate the stage in a fun enough way.
He wrote a letter asking for a total of four items.
One Potion, Swalin Parchment, Mana Ink, Solvent for Alchemy.
The first potion alone could have guessed his plan, but the last three were also quite suspicious.
I checked the room one last time, remembering their names.
All the letters, including Leo’s, were put in place.
I tried my best to be as careful as possible and not get distracted.
The room I checked again was not much different from before entering.
With the mask on again, I escaped through the window as I had come.
OK, that’s the perfect crime.
—
And, the morning of the next day that comes without a doubt.
Last night, something a little dizzying happened.
On the way back to the dormitory, a thought suddenly occurred to me and I lost my eyes for a moment.
what is that thought
‘for a moment. Wouldn’t it be better to just steal one of those unnecessary expensive masks instead of buying them all?’
It was a thought that hit my head like lightning.
Of course stealing is bad, but it’s part of a sublime plan to save the world.
There, this body, which had to subdue the demon lord someday, was currently suffering from financial difficulties.
After regretting it for a while, I was finally able to come to my senses.
‘No, Louie! After hanging out with all those damn bitches, how shallow your morals have become!’
While scolding myself, I ran into a student who was wandering around the academy in the middle of the night because of a random thought.
“Hee!”
It was a scream I heard often lately.
I checked my hair first because of someone who keeps hovering around me these days.
Fortunately, it was brown, not white.
“Who, who are you?”
She trembles and stutters.
Well, you should be surprised to meet a madman in school uniform wearing a cat mask in the middle of the night.
Thanks to the mask, I didn’t get caught anyway, so I melted into the darkness using footwork.
Well, in the end, it was the perfect crime.
the day started again.
Today was a rather important day.
Yes, today’s class has combat practice.
Yesterday, Leo obviously asked the professor to challenge him to a duel during the combat practice class that was coming back.
Wash properly, put on school uniform.
I left the dorm room with a smile on my face.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
The duel was rejected, and it was absurd to cancel the application once applied.
Leo will crawl on his own limb today, not knowing that his plans have been thoroughly dug up.
To be honest, I must have accumulated a little too much.
More than that sword, I look forward to seeing the old party members apologize to me in front of people.
Heading to class, I pondered lightly on the new question raised yesterday.
First of all, where are the other three materials other than the potion going to be used?
It definitely looked like an ingredient related to alchemy, but I couldn’t figure it out because my experience with the subject was mediocre.
It must have been part of his plans regarding the duel.
I bet he didn’t believe in potions and be so confident.
And next, how is Leo going to give me a potion before the duel?
That would be impossible in the yard that was caught anyway.
