My Game Friends Were Foreigners in Mythology

13 – How to get the Fallen Lady (1)

“…Here it is.”

When I was resting after the sparring, Iris approached me and handed me something.

It was a money bag with 500 million in it and a book of spirit.

My cheeks were swollen and bruised blue as if I had just woken up from a stunned state.

‘Did I hit you too hard?’

No matter how much I am a person who beats men and women equally, hitting her face seemed a little harsh.

No. You’re the bastard who tried to kill me in the first place, do you need to see that?

My principle is to give words back when you receive something in return.

I didn’t have to be particularly sorry.

‘Just…’

I can only wonder why she, who is in class A, tried to kill her class F and ruined her reputation.

Even if she lost, Iris’ reputation would have dug into the inner core of the Earth.

Even if she wins, the only thing left for her is the disgrace of having her F-class fight and kill her.

If I had lived, she would have suffered a financial loss of just 500 million won.

‘Really why?’

Her head, which had been running fine ever since her contract with Nyala Thotep, hit a snag.

I don’t know why she did something that would be seen as a loss to a passing dog.

Speaking of dogs, I remember Nyarlathotep talking about fox cubs snatching things up…

‘I don’t know!’

Honestly, are you my father?

It is important that I have 500 million won and the Book of Spirit in my hands right now.

500 Million is a lot of money even if you spend extravagantly for the time being, and the Book of Spirit will be the best training item that will effectively increase your SAN level.

Perhaps he will reach a point where his mind will not be polluted even if he turns into an avatar.

‘Is it okay to become strong this fast?’

The level of Class 1 A is at the level of Class C, if you look at current heroes.

Considering that level C is at the level of 30% in the industry, it is by no means a low level.

To think that an F-class, even the top 100%, achieved that level in a matter of days.

At this rate of growth, it’s not unreasonable to get an A rank within a month.

Maybe S-class…

‘Wouldn’t it be possible to get an S rank within a month?’

Two months?

Anyway, it’s a tremendous growth rate.

To be honest, if I were to become an Avatar even now, I’d be A-level… I’ve said too much, so I won’t say anything from now on.

To conclude, I became very strong.

“What are you doing?”

“…You…”

Muttered Iris with dead eyes.

“How do you…”

Turb, tumble.

Then she walked away like a broken jointed doll.

As expected, his mentality must have been broken.

Since she ate something, I wouldn’t argue that it became a slaughter battle, but she must have been a shock to her as well.

[Foreign press Nyala Totep slaps her chest in frustration.]

[Ctuga, the greatest old one, sneers at his meager chest.]

At that time, Nyarlathotep sent a signal that he was frustrated as if he had eaten a sweet potato.

[Foreign agent Nyarlathotep manifests himself.]

What?

Slurr!

A black light came out in front of my eyes along with a message.

“I’m going crazy because I’m frustrated.”

Soon, that black light took on the shape of a silver-haired beautiful girl.

Nyala Thotep appeared before my eyes and touched her head angrily.

“What’s frustrating? Isn’t that a good thing?”

I couldn’t figure out why she was angry.

The rewards were overwhelmingly ripped off and even won.

Isn’t that what happened?

“You’re innocent, but you’re too pure… You’re going to live a bit harshly in the world.”

Dori, dory.

She made a pitiful expression and shook her head.

‘What did I have to do to be more vicious here?’

Should I have just burned him to death?

“No one is as easy to seduce as a person whose mind has collapsed.”

“Yes?”

“I expected to use Stockholm Syndrome to make that woman your slave… Maybe it’s because I’m still lacking in training, so it’s a long way off.”

“Yes?”

What is this woman talking about?

You want to enslave Iris?

“I assure you, having ruled over humans with countless avatars. The more slaves, the better. Especially strong slaves with ability.”

“So you want me to make Iris my slave?”

To be honest, I’m a little calm now, probably because I’ve seen her abnormal side a lot.

‘To make Iris my subordinate like Goo Ha-sung…’

Thinking about it, I don’t think it’s bad.

In the first place, she is impatient with the situation around her.

Of course, the academy that Iris expected to win, as well as the family that supported her goods, would be hit and run.

In that case, it would be much better to make them my subordinates.

Iris is comfortable in her own way, and I’m glad that I have a subordinate that I can use.

Isn’t that a good result for each other?

“I missed the opportunity now, so let’s wait for a few days.”

Nyarlathotep narrowed her eyes in the direction the iris had disappeared.

“I’m going to do it, let’s make sure to drop it.”

* * *

[The old fox in the back mountain is disappointed in you.]

“…”

[The old fox on the back mountain leaves, warning that there will be no support in the future.]

Desperate situation.

The Constellation was disappointed with itself and practically declared abandonment.

Tiriri, Tiriri.

[Father]

The cell phone ringing at that time.

But when she saw the name on the screen, Iris couldn’t help but tremble.

After thinking for a while, she finally answered the phone.

“…Hello.”

-Ah, Iris. Hey, what’s this expense? 500 Million? Besides, the book of the spirit?

Ghostrick is still going to ruin.

If it was an ordinary family, about 500 million would be a little too much, but Ghostrick was a lot of money that the family itself was staggering.

In addition to that, the Book of Spirit at a price of about 400 million.

A total loss of 900 million won. Indeed, it would not be strange if the family collapsed immediately.

“Sorry, sorry, father…”

-This, you crazy b*tch!!

While deciding what to say, she answered with tears of guilt.

What came back, though, was the father’s swear words, which were furious for the first time.

-I was able to hold on to the ruined family because I had talent and barely sent it to the academy, but you made this kind of expense without thinking?! Tell me! Did you gamble?

“Th-because of that Constellation’s order, we had sparring with compensation as a condition, but we lost…”

– What? Lost? Who lives where? Tell me…

“That, that, that…”

Heo-eok, heo-eok.

A tight breath, a sense of guilt dancing on the bones of a donkey, tears that naturally fill up, and even a head spinning with a fever.

“To Cadet Kim Hyeon-seong from Class F…”

Suddenly, ha ha, ha ha, fast.

She caught her breath, gnashed her teeth and wept.

“I was defeated by cadet Kim Hyeon-seong from class F.”

Is this how it feels for a person facing an unavoidable death?

She trembled, afraid of the future that was only five seconds away.

-…Class F?

Awkward.

“Ah…Ahhh…”

Iris Goth Trick wanted to say something, but her wailing throat made her sound like an alien language.

Has it been said that when people get too angry, they become calmer?

A cold resentment was felt from her father.

-I didn’t even hope for the family’s revival.

A chilly voice I’ve never heard before.

“Ahh, ahh…”

-It was enough for her to become a good shaman and show that Goth Trick is still alive.

-You are the most talented shaman I’ve ever seen, and you have an improvement consciousness to match.

The best talent?

Not anymore.

The constellation has turned its attention, how can it be the best?

But she couldn’t say anything to her father, who was furious with her.

-That’s why I put a lot of expectations on you… But it seems like that put a lot of pressure on me.

-The best talent? I should have just grown up normally.

Now the tone is so constant that you can’t tell if it’s anger or calmness.

-You are no longer a Ghostrick.

And the words that came out of that voice were truly shocking.

-It looks like I overestimated you. Not to mention being the best shaman, driving the family to the brink of ruin.

No, no, it’s not like that.

I didn’t mean to do that.

-I’d rather just grow up normal… Then I could have been happy.

Don’t be disappointed with me. I worked hard for my family more than anyone else, so don’t throw it away so easily.

-I won’t ask you to pay back the money considering the affection you’ve had so far. Then… Goodbye.

Dude.

“…”

Iris Gostry… No, Iris bruised herself for about five minutes in a state of disenchantment.

Beep, Beep, Beep.

After that, she mechanically dialed the number and called somewhere.

It was her father’s number that he had just called.

-You cannot answer the call right now, please call again later.

However, before the communication sound could be heard, a mechanical sound came out.

It meant that transmission was blocked.

“Ah, ah ah…”

Kek, kek, kek, kek.

She wanted to cry out loud, but more than that, the despair choked her throat and all that came out was a weak cough.

Now, the only medium to express Iris’ sadness was tears.

* * *

“…”

A few days have passed.

Iris was visibly haggard and she trudged through the academy.

– Hey, look over there.

-Isn’t that Iris who was robbed by Kim Hyun-seong?

-Even Shibi said that Ji walked first?

The voices of the cadets like her can look at her.

– Right. However, I didn’t know that Kim Hyun-seong had become so strong, and I got robbed.

-That’s funny. Kim Hyun-seong was promoted to Class B? He was demoted to class B. Will you change your location soon?

After the sparring that day, Iris was demoted to Class B due to her conspicuous decline in ability.

On the other hand, Hyeonseong Kim was promoted to class B at once thanks to the appearance she showed during her sparring and her overwhelming increase in skills.

It is very unusual to change classes during a semester.

Because it is settled at the end of the semester and changed all at once.

Demotion or promotion during the semester is because you have become so much stronger or so much weaker.

“…”

It’s lunchtime at the academy now.

If it was the same as before, I would go to eat with my A classmates, but…

-Ah, that…Sorry?

The day I lost to Kim Hyeon-seong, I couldn’t eat with her because everyone left him.

So she ended up sitting on a nearby bench and eating her lunch.

She didn’t know whether to say it was fortunate that it wasn’t a bathroom, or unfortunate that it was like this.

She just shoved some fuel into her mouth and went about her day thinking nothing of it.

“Can I sit next to you?”

“…?”

A friendly voice was heard at that time.

“Is that okay?”

It was Kim Hyun-seong.
