back to school.
How long has it been since your heart trembled at these two letters?
Who would have predicted that after graduating from school, I would become a teenager again and enjoy my youth, after quite some time has passed.
“Transfer students and freshmen, join the ancient culture research club. If you come in now, we will give you an additional magnifying glass and excavation set.”
“If you are interested in the path of the sword, come to the Swordsmanship Research Club. It is a club that receives an excellent commendation from the student council every year, and recently attacked the dungeon at branch C-2.”
In the morning, before the first class even started.
In front of the teacher, many students lined up their desks and stacked pamphlets on them, targeting freshmen and transfer students.
“A lot.”
It was a crowd beyond imagination.
Everyone must be desperate because the club budget given by the student council increases as more members are secured.
“Is Nike somewhere here?”
Before the first period started, I headed for the table assigned to the “Victory Chef”.
By now, like Nike practiced, he would be distributing pamphlets to students and promoting to attract members.
Newly born Nike’s pretty appearance.
And the mass-produced “Petit Scented Herb Soup,” which has been researched and researched over the weekend, will surely attract people.
“Because I drank a lot of water, the rating dropped to about 1.5 tiers. You can make ten bowls with the amount that makes three bowls.”
I struggled all weekend trying to balance taste and quantity.
So where can I see the result?
“… … .”
That’s how we found Nike’s table.
In front of it, it was bleak like a closed amusement park.
“Nike, why are there no people?”
“That, that… .”
“And what about that funny witch hat? Why are you covering your face with that? He must have personally instructed him to promote the club using his striking pink hair.”
Nike was using a very large conical hat to cover her lively pink hair and her pretty and well-groomed features.
“You said publicity is important. We only need one more person.”
“But, what a shame… ! Showing your face in front of people and getting attention… !”
“Right.”
Nike lived like a savage in the forest during vacation.
I don’t even have friends in the first place.
Was it unreasonable for Nike, who was oddly insecure about himself, to advertise? I bet you wouldn’t be able to achieve this much.
“No, this is assuming.”
I already predicted a lot of cases that Nike would not help with publicity over the weekend.
After all, the only thing you can trust is your own body.
“I will do the publicity.”
At my words, Nike’s expression clearly brightens.
“Are you sure you would? So, are you just soliciting guests?”
“I don’t do anything rude like that.”
If it were me, Ha Seung-ri, I wouldn’t know, but Viktor can’t tolerate shouting and promoting like that. So we need to use a slightly more direct method.
In that sense, I hung up the sign I had prepared in advance.
「Free tasting.」
Human gothic, devoid of technique and affection.
But this will be a bit different.
shiver.
The mass-produced soup, which he had bought in a thermos bottle with the remaining money, was poured into paper cups.
spring.
The first day of the new semester.
Students tremble with tension and cold that has yet to go away.
hot soup.
this will be publicity
“… … .”
However, people did not flock to it more than expected.
Why?
“Look at that, it looks like soup is served in cups. Shall we take a cup and drink it? I couldn’t eat this morning, but it went well.”
“Hey, stop. That person is Victor. I heard from my sister You are a very scary person If you get filmed, you will be tired throughout your academy life.”
“Executive member Viktor? I know. You were famous even in our middle school. You said you split a helmet with a sword? It’s really scary… .”
Indeed it is.
This hard-looking man was holding a form in front of the tasting table, so people couldn’t come.
Why is it more comfortable to eat the food of a lady with a good impression in the tasting corner of a large mart?
“Can’t you? Nike, I’m leaving. don’t let this one go You can pour more from the thermos if needed.”
“yes! I’ll try my best!
Anyway, class 1 will start soon.
Nike wouldn’t know it, but I can’t tolerate this Victor walking into the classroom just before class.

Judging from this guy’s personality, it seems like he should be seated at least an hour beforehand. Anyway, to be strict.
* * *
let’s see
Where is my classroom in the second grade?
“Don’t block the road, get out of the way.”
“Ugh, Viktor… !”
A hallway full of people.
The poster in the center had the names of the students, their student numbers, and the class they were assigned to.
“Alecto. It’s the same class this time! Let’s eat lunch together again this year! yes?”
“… yes. Happy.”
“Deermid, where is Deermid? Even if you come, it’s the same class! This is fate!”
“Be quiet, embarrassing people.”
“what’s the matter? Didn’t we promise to conquer the Procedural Dungeon together and receive the title! We might even be able to find the crown!”
Everyone is so noisy.
Who is in the same class as you?
It didn’t matter to me.
“Am I in class A-1 of the second year?”
Class A-1.
I was vaguely anticipating it.
‘A-1’ is a collection of only the best students among the various classes divided according to grades and various comprehensive evaluations.
Most of the main characters in the game are in this class.
But originally, Viktor wouldn’t have been in this ‘A-1’ class.
Viktor disappears from the storyline after the tutorial and reappears only in the middle.
If you think about it now, wouldn’t Victor in the game have escaped this prison academy and returned to the Arclight family on the mainland, just like Victoria said?
What on earth did you do there to become a procrastinating monster?
“It’s not that I don’t know much about it.”
Anyway, as long as I’m still at the academy, there’s nothing going to happen to me, so I don’t have to worry about it.
The problem is rather this way.
“As expected, Miss Arclight is in class A-1. How can you be so perfect? They’re the same age, but they’re completely different from me. Miss Arkwright should be able to find the hidden crown. is not it?”
“Blackstar is the same class as A-1. Can we see it again this year? The battle between the princesses.”
Enio and Victorica are also in the same class.
If it’s natural, it’s natural.
“There is no change.”
On the contrary, it is comfortable because it is classic.
Victor friendly.
Finally, after reading a few more words of concern, I moved to the place where I should be.
Class A-1.
A teacher built in the best facility in this prison academy.
When I opened the door and went in, there were quite a few people seated even though it was early. As expected, this is an honor student class.
“Look at that, Victor.”
“I am really going to school. Why, it’s not uncommon for people who have been demoted to regular students to drop out.”
“Have you heard of that? Miss Arclight and Viktor… .”
Sukdeok Sukdeok.
As I entered the classroom, the students whispered something in a small voice. Originally, it would be a busy time to talk about the ‘transfer student’ who made the academy buzz during vacation.
“Everyone is interested in other people’s stories. If you can afford it, tidy up your appearance. There, Daily. Did you not wash your hair? It’s bad attire.”
“Ugh.”
The brown-haired bespectacled man who was pointed out to me shuddered.
That guy’s name is ‘Daily Rumor’.
If I remember correctly, he is the vice president of the newspaper department and a source of information. Were you the type of friend character who asked for information by saying ‘Did you hear that?’ next to the main character, Luke.
“Daily, didn’t you wash your hair? Ugh!”
“go away! Don’t sit next to me!”
At the screams of the female students, Daley grumbled, “I didn’t have time to write an article until last night,” and took shampoo and headed to the bathroom.
It’s going to be a little quieter now.
I sat in the window seat at the very back.
Sit there, cross your arms and close your eyes.
“Alecto, if the opening ceremony ends early today, I want to go shopping with you… ?”
“… yes, fine.”
It’s a new semester, but already some like-minded students are busy chatting in groups of two or three.
Meanwhile, I and Viktor were completely alone.
Originally, the first day of a new semester is like this.
It was then.
Dreuk.
With the sound of the sliding door opening, the atmosphere in the class suddenly changed.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar wave of silver hair.
Did Victoria come?
She entered the classroom with her best friend, Secretary Min-Wan – Shadi. Then, I took a seat in the middle and unpacked my luggage on the desk.
Every single action.
Sophisticated and even elegant.
However, the interests of the students were elsewhere.
“Miss Victoria didn’t really talk to Viktor. Isn’t this your first time?”
“In freshman year, we said hello every morning.”
“… Looks like they really broke up!”
I’m upset.
Honestly, since it’s someone else’s love story, I think it’ll be fun.
With that feeling, one or two seats were filled.
8:40.
With 20 minutes left before the start of the school opening ceremony, there were only two seats left.
One sits on my right.
One was just the front row in front of the podium.
No one really sits next to me.
Victor, even if you have a negative reputation, isn’t this a bit harsh?
Is this the angle where you have to eat alone in the bathroom at lunchtime——around the time when we were half joking and half serious talking to ourselves. The door opened and she appeared.
“They are all familiar faces.”
After carefully examining the surroundings with her glamorous red eyes, she found someone and walked over without hindrance and sat next to me.
“Victor, long time no see.”
“Enio.”
Enio was exceptionally kind to me.
Maybe it’s because of Victoria? He must be deliberately pretending to be friendly with me and scratching Victoria gently.
It’s just that Victoria, who was sitting in the seat ahead of me, was talking to Shadi without looking at me or looking back.
Either that or not, Enio spoke to me with a feeling of annoyance.
“Victor-kun, I thought you would visit me at least once before school starts. Why didn’t you come?”
“Because there was no reason to see it.”
“yes? I thought it would come because of the key. That’s the key to my personal warehouse. I was kicked out of the dormitory, so I was going to tell you to stay there for a few days.”
Are you real?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have to sleep in the forest where there are insects.
I just lost my stamina.
“By the way, Viktor-kun, there really was something I was looking for at the 3rd pillar. I didn’t tell anyone, but it was a really valuable item.”
“I’m glad you found it.”
“How did you know it was there?”
How did you know that the “yellow ribbon” was there? I know because I played a lot of games.
Of course, if you say such a thing, you will have to eat lunch alone in a real bathroom.
“Nothing. Various information came in when I was still a member of the executive committee.”
Goo Woo-wook.
My stomach hurt because I lied.
I hope Enio will understand this.
I don’t want to lie any more.
“Huh huh, right? I see.”
Enio nodded with a subtle feeling.
Suddenly, an ominous feeling passed by.
By any chance, if Enio sits next to me like this, wouldn’t he have to lie about his stomachache every day?
I don’t like being branded as an idiot by raising my hand every hour saying, “Use that bathroom.”
“Victor-kun, thank you anyway. I want to reply to that. Do you have time after the opening ceremony today?”
“none.”
I am very busy after the opening ceremony.
I have to take over the promotion of the club from Nike and run all day.
However, Enio seemed a little surprised by my knife answer.
“yes? Then, there is nothing you can do.”
Shuk.
It was Enio who turned his head away from me and took things out of his bag.
Rather than that, wasn’t it too much like a knife?
I wish this Viktor could speak a little softer.
Anyway.
It was 9 o’clock like that.
The door at the front of the classroom opens and a man with long black hair enters the classroom.
I’m guessing you’re in your thirties now?
He was a man with impressive dark circles.
“Uh, I can’t believe our classmate is that picky… .”
“This year is doomed.”
Fang Fang-.
“Okay, class has started, everyone be quiet. You already know very well about me. I am the teacher Bergerac. Then call the attendance now.”
Is the teacher ‘Bergeracque of the Black Flag’?
This is as far as I know.
If so, it’s time to slowly open the door.
drooling.
It’s real.
“Hoo, it arrived at the last minute!”
“It is late. Luke. Don’t punish me.”
“Ugh!”
That guy is the main character of this prison academy.
That’s Luke.
