001 – School life starting with a minus # 1
To be honest, everyone must have imagined ‘if I could become a character in a game’.
There were a lot of posts like that on D&A’s strategy cafe.
「Title: Imagining myself being rooked hahahahaha
The people who bullied me, the teachers who watched me hahahaha
First of all, treat it with the 10th tier magic Light Fury from Iljin
In particular, the guy who bullied me all the time belatedly figured out the situation and begged me to save him, but he couldn’t help it lol」
Well, I mean stories like this.
Most of the reactions to these posts were just teasing, but I thought about what it would be like if I became a character in the game at least once before I went to bed.
If I were a character in D&A, I would have been a geek to earn money. Then you wouldn’t have gone through that trouble just because you were paying off a debt of 200 million won by yourself.
Of course, it’s just a dream story.
But why did you really wake up?
No, let’s say that’s the probability of winning the lottery.
But why is this Viktor?
There are many characters in D&A. There’s Enlil, there’s Pushike, and at least Neva, who’s 10,000 years old, is fine.
Viktor is a mid-boss in all routes, so death is guaranteed.
“I am Viktor, an executive member of the student council leadership team. The delegates and the lofty student council are expelling you according to the laws left by your long ancestors and the gods.”
“I, Victoria Arcwright, will file an objection. The transfer student who dealt with Viktor… , there is a possibility that Luke Frit used an illegal move.”
“Reject The executive committee members are the ones who should lead the students. Losing for any reason is unacceptable. Therefore, as of today, I am deferring Victor’s status to a normal student.”
ground ground.
The shadows sitting on the high platform chattered.
Even when I looked up, I couldn’t see their faces because of the dazzling sunlight pouring in from the window behind me.
But one thing was certain: the shadows on the high podium were calling for complete destruction to Viktor’s life, no, to mine.
In the student council of the prison academy, for the executive committee member of the leadership team to be demoted to a regular student is as terrible as the fall of a nobleman to a slave.
At least Victoria, the vice president of the student council, raised her voice to defend me.
“Dear delegates. I’d rather ask for expulsion! Doesn’t everyone know what happened to the student council executives who were demoted to normal students? I’d rather leave… !”
“Reject.”
“Victorica, aren’t you being too blatantly protective? No matter how fiancé you are, you have to be thorough in your public life. The Arkwright family has gone too far.”
At this point, it’s beyond embarrassing.
But it was thanks to this that I was able to keep my composure even in the midst of everyone blaming me for mistakes I hadn’t committed.
「Idiosyncratic <<Steel>> is activated.”
What is a steel mentality?
Read at NovelNext.com
Quirky 《Steel》.
It must have been a trait that raised survival abilities such as defense in the game. Innumerable other effects popped into my head.
I never thought this Viktor would have had such a quirk. I knew it for the first time in 20,000 hours. It’s a mid-boss character that can’t be added to the party, so there’s no choice.
Anyway, thanks to my eccentricity, I was able to be fine without peeing in my pants even in front of the scary prison academy delegates like the detectives interrogating me.
Shall I ask you something like this?
“I have a question for the delegates.”
As I raised my hand and spoke, one of the shadows grew hot.
“I-I’m just looking at that guy’s habit… ! What kind of habit do you have to say to our delegates when you are an orphan with no genealogy? ? Even though they are students now, there are some members of the delegates who reach the sky like the Duke of Black Star… !”
No wonder people were offended by my rude and cold tone.
But if I don’t speak in this tone, I can’t help it because my lower stomach hurts like a person in a hurry to the bathroom. It’s better than pooping in front of everyone.
… Wouldn’t that be really cheap?
anyway.
There was something that bothered me in the conversation just before, so I asked without risking many glares.
“I understand that there are neither dukes nor commoners on this prison island. There must be no compelling reason for me to use honorific titles with delegates?”
In the setting of the game, weren’t the students equal under the Student Council Law handed down from their long ancestors? But the attitude of these delegates was that of nobles and superiors.
Are there any differences from the setting of the game?
I definitely want to check it out.
Whether this world is the same as D&A or if there are differences was very important to my survival somehow.
Let’s look back at the dialogues of the games we have been playing for a long time.
Among them, there must have been something about the school rules of this prison academy student council. In particular, there must have been a rule that I heard annoyingly in the mini-game quiz that sometimes occurs unexpectedly.
“Article 1, Paragraph 1 of the Student Council Act. All students are equal under the Student Council Act. There is no difference between a delegate and a regular student. Am I wrong?”
Let’s distinguish whether there is any difference between the game and this strange reality.
“That, that, that… .”
“Hmm.”
“Hmm… .”
It was evident that everyone was perplexed.
did you just ask The reaction is odd.
I don’t think it’s strange if I stay like this and become a mid-boss and get dragged away without even knowing a mouse or bird before being killed by the main character, Luke.
I’d rather just get out of here But let’s ask just one more thing that worries us.
“Just one more question. Is it true that I just got kicked out of the student council and was demoted to a regular student? I am asking if it is a demotion, not an expulsion.”
“yes.”
someone answered. It was the shadow that had been listening intently to this conversation from earlier. If you hear a voice, is it a woman? I could only vaguely tell that she was resting her chin.
“Now that you’re a regular student, you won’t be able to get protection from the student council. I don’t know where and how the fiancée’s light will be able to protect you. Please survive well on an equal prison-like island, Viktor-kun.”
The huhuhu laugh form and bewitching voice are somehow familiar. But for now, all I could think about was getting out of this place.
“Then let’s all be well.”
* * *
“I avoided expulsion.”
With a tone I couldn’t get used to, I turned around and left the judgment room.
In my heart, I wanted to take a breather, but this body, Viktor, was a strict guy who wouldn’t even allow such an action. What is a noble aristocrat?
aaa
When I left the room, I saw a wide hallway in the form of a corridor, and the wind and scenery blowing coolly through the open window faced me.
Shaaah-.
The sound of the waves is loud.
The wind that brushed my face was salty.
Naturally, this prison academy was an educational institution built on a heavenly height.
No one can get out at will.
A place where no one can enter at will.
That’s why it’s Dungeon’s Academy.
Actually, the name was given because it is full of underground dungeons, but was that a story that was revealed only later in the story?
anyway.
Facing the scenery like this, it feels new.
“It is beautiful.”
The game I enjoyed so much has become a reality and is engraved right in front of my eyes.
Whether it’s because of Viktor’s steel mentality or because of my 20,000 hours of playing time, even though it’s a situation like this, I’m even a little bit excited.
“therefore.”
What to do from now on?
Somehow, I have to survive by graduating somehow. Even if you graduate here, your ability is recognized and you can get a job anywhere.
The setting is that a diploma from Prison Academy is like a medal. If this place is like or similar to a game, it is safe to say that you will never starve to death with just a diploma.
Above all, this guy named Viktor will die if he leaves this prison academy. You’re going to become a monster for some reason.
“I am lucky to have escaped expulsion and became a regular student.”
I wanted to laugh, but my stomach started to churn quickly. After all, this guy named Viktor doesn’t react to things other than stiff and naive behavior?
But it was good.
“it’s okay.”
A regular student who is not expelled. That’s enough.
If I succeed in staying here, I might be really lucky too.
“perhaps… .”
It would not be very impossible to become rich and well-to-do in the academy by using my knowledge and wisdom.
“Is it really possible?”
Ask yourself.
The answer comes right away.
of course.
200 percent possible.
It’s a job that only I, who has been buried for 20,000 hours, no, has become oil under the deepest dungeon of Prison Academy!
“Victor.”
As I was making plans, someone called me from behind.
He turned his head to the sound of his shoes clanging and saw that his silver hair was swaying in the sea breeze.
Golden eyes with an indifferent feeling stare at me.
“Victor, I just came to beg the delegates to expel you. It’s better to be expelled and return to the mainland than to become a regular student.”
“… … .”
is it real? do i have to graduate?
There was even good will in the eyes of Victoria, who was trying to expel me.
You’re driving me to ruin with your favor.
This is worse than malice!
As I kept my mouth shut, Victoria continued to talk.
“Victor, you are my fiancé, even though it is a marriage arranged by the family. Return to the nature of the Arkwright family. If you… Neither the family head nor the brothers will treat you badly.”
Even if it’s just a facade, it’s a favor for my fiancé. Even if the family doesn’t have affection, they do their best in the given role.
That is Victoria Arclight, the student council vice president.
As a die-hard fan of D&A, I’m thrilled to see it in person… .
The problem is that Viktor, who was expelled from the prison academy, later returns to the academy as a procrastinating monster for some reason.
I was really stumped on the dot subject.
Being that way is a specification.
“Victoria.”
“Why, do you have something to say? If you’re saying thank you, you can’t do it. And don’t be mistaken. It’s not because I like you, it’s because it’s in return for all the things you’ve done for the student council and me.”
It was honestly cute to see him snorting and laughing.
Such a pretty woman as my fiancée. It was a very well deserved honor. It’s good enough to brag to the neighborhood.
But now is the time to say this.
“Our engagement is broken. I will stay at this academy.”
“… What, what?”
A reddish color began to spread on Victorica’s face, who was confident even in front of the academy’s high-ranking delegates.
But I can’t help it.
This is the only way to get away from the Arclight family, which will fall to the brink after Act 8.
I could assert that now, before the start of the first semester, is the best time.
If you know where the bombs fall, wouldn’t it be best to avoid them?
