283 – Jaerong (1)

Games are meant to be enjoyed. Pursuing extreme efficiency is losing the essence of the game.

So, originally, I would have done everything without pursuing efficiency. It must have been more interesting because it was a test with many variables.

But I put everything else aside and worked efficiently to watch Kara dance and sing.

The problem was that if you only looked at the theory, it was extremely efficient, and even that was virtually memorized, so there was no one who could properly implement it.

That’s why I asked Karas. Because he was the type of person who wanted to do something when he saw something interesting.

“Kara.”

“Why?”

“I have to keep my promise.”

“No…”

Kara couldn’t help but be taken aback, as if she didn’t know that my theory would come true without a single error.

She made a bet that she knew would not work out, but it paid off spectacularly. And the content of the bet is to go to a performance.

From Kara’s point of view, she probably doesn’t want to do anything more than go to a concert and dance. Dance is a dance for the sky, that is, for the gulag.

Do you dance that in front of people? It’s a bit like blasphemy, and more than anything, the gulag will hate it the most.

‘I’m just teasing.’

I’m making fun of it because I know that well. Kara will probably ask for something else.

Kara wearing a dancer’s uniform and dancing in front of many people. To be honest, I don’t like that either.

As I said before, if Kara does that, I will go up to the stage and dance myself.

“······Isn’t there something more urgent than that? I heard it’s happening at the end of the year?”

Kara seemed to have nothing else to say, so she changed the topic. If there was anything more urgent than the performance, it would be a demonic invasion.

As Kara said, the invasion of demons is more important. It will really start when she performs.

“Don’t change your mind. You must keep your promise.”

“··· ···”

Apart from that, I will get what I want. Kara laughed at my stubbornness.

Even I promised to compensate Karas for taking the test on her behalf. It’s something very trivial.

If it’s Karasu, she’s likely to ask for some bizarre reward again, so I nip her in the bud beforehand. Fortunately, he seemed to think so and moved on.

“Sister. Do you know any songs?”

“Is that true? The only songs that exist are our country’s traditional songs. Moreover, they are closer to tribal songs than national anthems.”

“Can you call me now? Then I think Sibardo will pass.”

“Do you want to die?”

Luna also made Kara bleed by giving her a check, not sure if it was a joke or sincerity.

It’s fun because there are more ways to pressure Kara in many ways. It will continue to be like this for a while.

“Thank you all for your hard work over the past year. It must have been hard for everyone to run all the way here.”

After the exam is over, we return to the classroom. Marlboro encouraged us again with a tired look.

The test was a little late because the test site was a sea of fire, but somehow I finished it.

Then he glanced at me and opened his mouth in a tired voice.

“The test results will be out within a week. Until then, it’s an official school day, but it’s practically a vacation. It doesn’t matter if you don’t attend class, but you can spa with the professors if you want. “

Usually vacation begins immediately after final exams, but the academy is a little different.

It’s vacation, but I guess it’s similar to being a senior in high school after the college entrance exam.

You can rest well to end the year, or you can spar with professors.

‘After just one week, all the professors will go home.’

There will be quite a few professors returning to their hometowns. There must be only a few professors left at the academy.

Among them, the one that remains is Marlboro. He is a person who lives here with his family to begin with.

Who would have known that it would be the beginning of a tragedy? Fortunately, that will no longer be the case.

‘Who is left? I’m not sure because the future has changed slightly.’

Most professors go on vacation to their hometowns. Not many people stay until the end of the year.

First of all, the only certain people are the professors in our class, including Marlboro.

Most people have no reason to return to their hometown or should not return.

If the Academy collapses, it will be a reliable force, but if you are not careful, it may turn out to be the opposite.

“Thank you for your hard work this year, and I hope to see you again next time.”

Marlboro said and walked out of the classroom. You might have guessed it from those words.

Once assigned, professors stick with it until the end. In other words, even during my second year, I stayed with professors including Marlboro.

‘As long as there are no victims during the demonic invasion.’

I like being around professors who are familiar with my position. It may be of great help in future plans.

In particular, even if you don’t know other people, you have to live like Godin. If Godin dies, the development of magic will be forced to stop.

‘I need to check what Jane is doing.’

Maybe it’s because I’m in a hurry, but I guess I’ll still be stuck in the studio at the end of the year. In fact, it might be better.

Because the workshop is located in a somewhat remote location and the defenses are strong, it is unlikely to be breached.

Moreover, even though Jane is weak in strength, she has a variety of weapons in the attack and defense.

If you use that weapon, it will be quite possible to protect yourself.

“Sister. Are you going to come to class?”

“Why? I think it would be better for me to do personal training. “What about you?”

“Me too. You know who I train with.”

“Oh, that’s true too.”

Just check the test results and that’s it. Training can be done with Rod.

I also plan to be treated like a dog by Rod for a week for future plans.

Even if you are not a Lord, you can train with Rize. The only way to do it is to develop regenerative power.

“Kara.”

“Huh?”

“I have to practice singing.”

“··· ···”

Anyway, he’s trying to sneak away. Kara looked at the distant mountain at my point.

If she continued here, she could have been in trouble, so it would be better for her to keep her mouth shut for now.

“Umm… Sivar?”

“Huh?”

“Let’s talk about this separately later. I don’t want to be a clown.”

“Okay.”

If that’s the case, it’s good for me. Because this was the original purpose.

Afterwards, before returning to our respective dormitories, my friends and I headed to Rod’s residence.

As roughly expected, the devil will invade soon, so we need to make a detailed plan.

“You came.”

“Saint? And next to her…”

“Oh, hello…”

And there were some unexpected people in Rod’s residence. None other than Rize and Erica.

As always, Rize looked calm in her nun’s clothes, and Erica looked somewhat haggard.

The confident look I saw before has disappeared completely. It looks like he was abused by Rize.

‘Even if you are abused, you are still worth it.’

It’s not a very welcoming face. However, it is a clear fact that it is a great addition to military power.

In addition, there were Eli and Porori, who must have been called in advance. It seems that all the people and animals that can be called have been called.

‘But doesn’t Erica know about Porori?’

If it was to be included in future plans, it might have been mentioned in advance. If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter.

In any case, Porori is expected to play a big role when the Academy collapses. Although he may have gained a lot of weight, he must still maintain his strength.

Anyway, everyone who could gather was gathered, and the empty seats were replaced with chairs, and we talked in order.

“So what happened…”

“Really?”

“Yes. I…”

There is a saying that when three women get together, dishes break. The number of people gathered here is much higher than that.

I spent some time eating pre-prepared snacks while we talked. Of course, it’s sweet potatoes.

Porori didn’t seem to have anything else to say, but he was eating sweet potatoes deliciously. For reference, this also includes Neoburi and Pidgeot.

“Why are they talking like that?”

“I don’t know.”

Even Kara was laughing and talking loudly. Even if it’s a shame, it’s clear that she’s a woman by nature.

But this didn’t last long either. There were times when the conversation was interrupted, and Rod appropriately intervened.

“It would be best to end the small talk here. There isn’t much left.”

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

As soon as Rod brought up a heavy topic, the atmosphere also calmed down. There isn’t much time left to laugh and talk like this.

After that, Rod winked at Rize. It is a signal to speak first.

After recognizing Rizedoi, he nodded and opened his mouth her in his characteristic friendly voice her her her her.

“As you may have heard, there is a very high possibility that demons will invade the Academy at the end of this year, especially on the anniversary. The evidence we have collected so far shows this.”

“··· ···”

“Looking at this, there is a high probability that the Academy Monument will be destroyed no matter what we do. Even if we join forces, it will be difficult.”

What Rize said is right. No matter what happens, the Academy Monument will inevitably fall.

You could think of it as some kind of inevitable event. Even if Rize and Lord join forces, it is meaningless.

“If the monument collapses, the monsters outside will fall into a kind of confusion. If that happens, there is a high probability that they will push inside.”

“The words…”

“This means that monsters inside can also come to the academy if we are not careful. The area becomes tangled up in an instant.”

The Academy Monument is recognized as ‘territory’ by monsters with excellent instincts.

Sometimes hungry monsters crawl in, but the cases where they invade to survive are slightly different.

But the monument deceives the monster’s instincts. So if they are neutralized, the monsters will fall into confusion.

“It would be best to start by stopping those monsters and controlling the chaos first. But stopping the monsters doesn’t mean the devil won’t come in.”

“Are you saying it’s real from the moment the devil invades?”

“That’s true, but the devils will only act and take a step back. If the devil himself steps forward, he will become a public enemy.”

As Rize said, it is too risky for the devil to step forward directly. And pulling them out is the primary goal.

“To do that, we need to attract the attention of the demons. We also need to gather as many people as possible to control the chaos.”

“They say we have to attract people… Maybe a performance?”

“Yes. They said they would perform on the anniversary, so it should be enough to attract attention there.”

Rize said that and looked at me.

“Brother Sivar.”

“?”

“Please do me a favor.”

“······Huh?”

With that request, people’s attention was drawn to me.

“Please try to minimize the damage and draw the attention of the demons.”

“······Me?”

“Only Brother Sivar can do this.”

Rize bowed her head with an earnest request. It would be very difficult for her to bow her head.

I was taken aback for a moment and looked at all the eyes focused on me. Each person has a different facial expression.

“What.”

Why is everyone looking at me?

“Why. “What.”

Why are you looking at me?
