Chapter 396 – Motivation

Now, the hero’s gaze is one day, and the silver money’s trial is three days away.
In the meantime, the nobles showed busy movements.
The move was a manipulation of public opinion.

The target was surprisingly not Dre.
He had been working to raise the reputation of the nobles, including Silmoney, and to make Dre’s public opinion bad.

What they are passionate about now is to lower the rating of Dre’s acquaintances.

“Did you hear that? The fact that the sword of mad flames framed Earl Silmoney. I heard that his acquaintances encouraged him to do it?”
“No? Why?”
“I don’t know the details, but I heard that those acquaintances are aristocrats, so they want to put down the Sers noble and sit in the public office they occupied?”

Such words were circulated on the streets with only a few minor changes to the words.

“Oh my God! What kind of guys are they?”
“Probably…The students who are related to the teenage families.”
“Ah. So, is that Gold or Clarir a bitch?”
“Usually they are on high places like floating islands, so why don’t they see commoners living well? Why do they frame nobles who are good at work?”

In that way, notoriety circulated among those associated with Dre.
A little thought made it clear that they had no reason to do it for the sake of Serth’s office, but that didn’t matter to people now.
They needed someone to complain about the uncomfortable situation.
It wasn’t just the successors who were being criticized, but even Heart, Grise, and Blizzard were being disparaged together.
No matter how much it was, it was very unusual for a teenage family to be criticized in Sers, even though it was not said openly.

As a result of the concerted efforts of almost all the aristocratic families of Sers, public opinion is leaning toward Silver Money.

But it was still not enough.
If there is physical evidence, it is public opinion and anything else is ridiculous.
When nobles struggled with the need for greater power, a new possibility arose.

Even by those who thought they were on the side of Yeodre.

“Huh? Blizzard supported the nobles saying they were right?”

Gold nodded at my slightly surprised words.

“I heard it was.”
“Hmm.”

That uncle What are you really thinking?
Gold told me before Nova. It was said that the nobleman would meet Silmoney and his followers.
I thought it was a warning to me at the time… Are you actually doing something that harms me?
No, of course I know you’re doing something to get the lead, but what’s the point of encouraging bad rumors? If I’m sarcastic, is that the end?
Are you underestimating me…?
[It’s very likely.]
[Drehem is seriously underrated compared to his skills.]
Umm…

I was thinking about when my dignity would be established, but Gold said in an angry voice.

“So you’re trying to get the leader position?”
“Can you guess what I’m thinking?”
“I’m sure he’ll pretend to please the aristocrats, gain public support, and bargain with his older brother.”

It was similar to my thoughts, but I’m sure it came out of Gold’s mouth.
Unbelievable.
Even I am underestimating myself!
[Isn’t that an objective evaluation?]
[Drehem’s self-reflection is excellent!]
Fuck this
Even my diners are looking down on me.
Fuck things. I’ll go inside sooner or later and I’ll end up killing this Malachia bastard.
[? Why only me…]
Disgrace is far stronger than me.
I think you’re outnumbered by me too, but I think you can beat it at least.
[To be underestimated! Come in! Melt it!]
This little baby lizard is going to get stabbed in the stomach…!

I muttered inwardly, but Gold continued.

“I understand you’re anxious since you’re staying at the Hart and seem to be friends with Gryze again. Nova… Stupid.”

Gold spat out in displeasure, gulped down the tea in front of him and slammed it down.

“It is against the oath of a hero to fulfill self-interest even though you can’t help your older brother when he sees you doing the right thing.”
“…”
“Has Blizzard already lost its power and forgot its heroic instinct?”

Gold that laments poetically.
A hero’s oath. That’s what I said last time.

“What is the Hero’s Vow?”
“It is an oath that the ten heroes swore to themselves to save Prunar and the dizzy world.”
“Um…”
“It was a very simple oath because Prunar dislikes complicated words.”
“What?”
“Let’s help the batter if we can afford it. Let’s not be too greedy.”
“…”

A very human nobleman.

“In the first place, even if our hearts go, they are dissatisfaction that will disappear without passing if we respond properly. What are you trying to do with something like that?”
“Okay?”
“Of course. Apart from Blizzard, Gryze, who would step out at a time like this, is also silent, but if the Heart family is determined and presses them, the nobles of Sers will have no choice but to save themselves.”

It is because there is no physical evidence because the source of the rumor has not yet been identified, and it is also because there is no actual damage to the business hosted by the teenage family, only rumors are flowing.
I’m not swearing at you, but the sales of the heart family shopping mall are the same.

“In the end, it just looks like it’s being rioted by the loud voices again… The majority are silent.”
“…”

That’s what I like as well.
Do you mean that the majority of people do not speak out even in unequal circumstances?

“Nova forgot her duty as a hero and was blinded by her position as the leader. Whoa.”

However, he muttered displeasedly that his ability was certain.
For now, I’ll block the nobles’ unpleasant movements in Heart or Grise.

You don’t have to.
The more they do that, the more pleasant it will be when you cook them later.
[I have no choice but to think about it.]
Then what do you think
[Think about killing the women next to you with your penis.]
You sick bastard…!

After that, I went to school on good terms with Gold.
To hear what happened to the polls Nelf and Clarir had conducted.
There are three days left in the investigation of Real Money, and being investigated does not mean that you will be immediately arrested, so there is more than a week left to create a favorable situation for me, but it is good to work.

“Then let’s see it at home.”
“Ok.”

I waved my hand on the back of Gold, who was moving away.
It’s home.
I must have said the other day that it was time to leave Heart Street, but now it feels like home.

But I’m going to go out soon.
Regarding my stay, Gold is really unconcerned, or rather seems to like it, but Gal is uncomfortable.
I can’t make the landlord uncomfortable.

After that, I contacted Almiraz.
After meeting Nelf and Clarir, you should see her.
I promised to let her pierce her mana orb once a day.

In fact, what I am doing now is a very inefficient method.
I do have a good method in mind.
By the way, before trying that good method, I want to ask if this theory is possible. Because if I’m wrong, I’ll be screwed.

If there was anyone to ask, the only one was Kitz.
However, this true warrior, I haven’t even seen him peep his nose for the past two weeks.
Sometimes when I see Homun and Mari at the academy, they don’t act together with the hero’s party…

That bastard. Where is she and what is she doing
Since he was wary of Harut, he must be doing something…

As she pondered, she went looking for the student council president’s office where Clair would be.
Gold told me that Clarir would be there and he gave me the approximate location and asked if I would like to go with him, but he refused, just to take a walk.
It was because I had been attending the academy for quite some time and I thought I would be able to find it on my own.

As a result of putting my hands in my pockets and hiding from the students, I returned to my seat in about an hour.

Chew. It’s like the fucking wide Prunar Academy.
I can’t.
I sighed and used floating magic for the first time in a while.
In my case, I can only soar up, but there is nothing like this to check the bottom.

Immediately after that, the large buildings on the ground rose until they seemed so small.

[Beep]

A strange noise came from behind.
Even without looking back, I could tell it was something living.

[Go down.]

But I couldn’t help but look back at that voice.
An old, weary voice.
Because it was the voice of a reporter.

“What?”
[…
“I thought you were gone, but were you still at school?”

It also seemed to be working properly.
The other day, when he soared into the air with Lena, he said that he had come to check who it was by riding the fish god angel.

“Where are you giving me an order, bitch. Do you want to die?”

I’m usually polite, but it’s different for this bastard.
I still haven’t forgotten how you tried to take my Lena away.
What a fucking year.
Put a machine on the ceiling and talk to it?

[Be careful.]
“Who? You? Why don’t you threaten me after you get your original body back? It seems like you can’t use proper spells with that body.”
[Heroot has prepared something.]
“…”
[He has no mercy. And cunning. It’s questionable when it will happen, but if it does, then Lena will also be aiming for it.]
“Why do you say that?”

I tried to shoot Lena with the meaning that you were aiming for Lena, but the reporter beyond the communication was flat.

[I wanted her talent, but a hostage to Herroot. Even if you do well, it won’t be more meaningful than a test subject. I don’t want that.]
“You speak as if you weren’t treated as a test subject.”

There is no reaction even though it is sarcastic.
No, communications are off.
The fish made a beeping sound and turned its body, then trembled and walked away as if it were afraid of me.

“…”

After glaring at him for a while, I checked the exterior of the building where the student council was supposed to be on the ground, and then shot down.

He gave me some advice, and it’s forbidden by school rules, so I’ll just listen to him asking me to go down.
And it took another hour to find the student council room.

It’s so wide.
Central building. Usually, there is only one spacious room, the student council room, but like the big Prunar Academy, the entire building is the student council room.

Only 2 or 30 people are using such a building. I envy you.

When I entered the building, the students looked at me and held their breath.
Oh fuck
Being a reporter, I forgot to meet a bastard and hide my presence.
그 씹새끼 다음에 만나면 척추를 뽑아 놔야지.
[It’s my anger…]
Fuck it!
[TT]
?
How did you do that

As I chatted with Malachia, I nodded lightly at the students watching me.
Then, I got into a quick posture, and no matter who saw it, I was a model student. The glasses-girl with the appearance of ‘ said a big hello.

“Hello! Instructor Yeodee!”
“Yes. Yes. Be quiet…”

But starting with her, her greetings began.

Surprisingly, they look more like well-dressed insiders than ordinary people.
That’s why it was so fucking burdensome for me.
Fuck things.

I found the student council room in the center.
I grabbed the doorknob, which looked like a blue tree of unknown material.
The cool feeling in the hand was pretty good.

Knock once.

Smart smart

“Come on in.”
“Excuse me.”

When I opened the door and went in… I saw Clair sitting firmly in the middle of the piles of papers on either side.

She lowered her eyes and eagerly stamped her seal.

“You’re working ten days.”
“…”

Why the fuck you bitch
I was upset, but I looked around without showing it.
Except for Clarir’s desk, the tidiness seemed to show her neat personality.

“You were really the student council president. Clair. But weren’t you a sophomore?”

Wasn’t this school until the 4th grade? 4th grade is the graduating class, so even so. Shouldn’t the president of the student council be a 3rd year student, not a 2nd year student?

I asked because I was a little curious, but no answer came back.

“…”
“Clarir?”
“…”
“Mr. Snow Blizzard?”
“…”
“Yumma.”

Only then did Clarir flinch.
I thought I would look at it fiercely, but I shrugged her shoulders and put her eyes down.

…What’s wrong with him?
It’s the first time I’ve seen such a calm Clair.
She laughed and said everything she had to say even when the mudders slapped her in the face.

Hmm… Let’s take this opportunity to take a closer look at the face.
She usually just glared at me, so I was busy avoiding her eyes.
So she hadn’t been able to get a good look at Clarir’s appearance, but now that she had her head down, she was able to take a closer look.

Starting with her coveted breasts that can be called busty, although not as big as her older sister, her slender neck and white jade-like skin. Black hair like a waterfall that contrasts with that skin.

Certainly, just looking at her appearance, she resembles Yerin.
It’s just that if she, Ye-rin, always had a warm expression, she might not have had that impression because he was always cold.

Did you feel my stare? Clair raises his eyes and immediately lowers them.

“What are you doing?”
“…Did you come to be angry?”
“?”

Why am I angry
No, considering this bitch’s attitude so far, there’s a lot to be angry about.

“Or… To declare war…”
“What kind of bullshit?”

He said it was bullshit, so he tried to stare at me, but then hurriedly lowered his gaze.

“…? What did you do to me?”
“I am not.”

Are you not what a bullshit
…Ah.

“Is it because Mr. Nova sided with the nobles?”
“!”

Clarir is taken aback.
Ah. Was it because of that
But why does Ji feel intimidated?
A bitch who is always happy to talk to me.

“You don’t act like you.”
“…That’s right.”
“Is that so?”
“You, to El…”
“…”
“Because you did that.”

Clarir difficultly ended his words.
So be it
But. It must have looked like it could break a little in the eyes of others.
Even though I’m a bad kid, if the other person tries to keep the line, I’m the type to protect it.
Nova is still keeping the line.

“Well. At that time, it must have been a bad look to others. I admit it.”
“…”
“But. Leo got all my acquaintances involved, and Nova-san isn’t that far yet.”
“…Hmm.”

Was that a bit vague answer?

“Mr. Nova is pretty common sense, so he won’t do that. So he has no reason to be mad at you.”
“Is that so.”

Clarir answered with a sigh.
The straight black hair that flowed with the sound of breathing gave the impression of a princess in a fairy tale.

“But what is it? Were you worried about that?”
“…! Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t worry about being hated by you…”
“You’re afraid of my anger. Aren’t you aware that what you usually say to me is much worse?”

That’s even more infuriating.
I added, but why are you staring at me?

“Yes. Well… Yes. I was a little worried about that. Yes.”

What was it A short silence before.
And I think you’re lying now.

I didn’t bother asking, so I decided to just reassure him.

“Please take care of Nova-san so that you don’t get lost.”
“…That kind of thing is impossible.”

Clarir suddenly looked out of his window.
He narrows his eyes and speaks as if forlorn.

“Father won’t listen to me.”
“…”
“Because I won’t need it.”

He said something carefree, but he felt resentment.
He thinks like that too. I just thought you were a perfect superhuman.

“I don’t know what the circumstances are. At least I need you the most.”
“…”

Clary Le, who stares at me with his mouth slightly open.
I was misunderstood.

“Ah. In the Blizzard family.”
“…Uh-huh.”

Clarir laughs as if it’s absurd.
Then, suddenly, he looks straight and stares.

“Please do not insult the Blizzard family.
“Yes.”
“Also, your performance as a lecturer is perfect, but please be punctual for lectures. If you have a student status, please come into the classroom. And…”
“…”

Why is it selling time again?
Still, there was me who didn’t care if I got used to it.

… Was an illusion.
After an hour or so, I felt that his real ear was going to bleed, so I reached out and covered his mouth.
Then he stopped for a moment, glared at me ferociously, and soothed it again… Ugh. It’s been a fucking tiring year anyway.

After that, Nelf came to the student council room on his own, so it’s a shame, it almost took a while to hear about the poll progress.
For your reference, they have only been contacted and are still collecting responses from students.

What I’ve been through today…

Yes what It won’t be too late even after the competition is over.

Tomorrow is the hero’s gaze.
The next day is the start of the trial.
After tomorrow’s tournament, I’m worried about Milia, so I’ll have to call her to Heart.

And the next day.

The first round of the hero’s gaze finals was held.
