Chapter 53 – Final Exam

Episode 53 – Final Exam

The final exams have finally begun.

As expected, just like in the midterm exam, I only solved what I could and took pictures of everything. After eating, I stopped by the dormitory and happened to receive a warm package that had just arrived.

“The sender… Roxana Sprouse?”

It looks like they sent something in return for finding the video.

I immediately unpacked it.

“What is this?”

All that was inside was a single ring surrounded by luxurious gold leaf, and stationery and instructions placed on top of it.

When I take out one of the letters, the letters written in cute handwriting catch my eye.

[I heard that Prince Ruan found the video. In return, I send you a gift. The manual is also enclosed, so please read it.

Dream of Roxana Sprouse.]

I folded the letter and opened the manual after hearing the concise and neat explanation.

[A single pill to increase energy.

It is a single pill made by mixing the horn of the Ssangaksa Temple, the liver of the Cheollima, and various medicinal herbs, and is very effective in improving stamina.]

My eyes turned from the manual to Danhwan.

“This is an aphrodisiac, right?”

I’ve gotten this item a few times in the game. At the time, people grumbled and asked why they made something like this when it was a game that didn’t even have 19+ elements.

At the same time, I was secretly looking forward to it, but I was angry and enraged that the 19+ rate was a piece of cake and there wasn’t even a common kissing scene.

Anyway, the important thing is that Roxana Sprouse has sent me an aphrodisiac.

“What does this mean?”

Suddenly, Yasu’s voice passes through my head.

-Maybe we can use this as an excuse to become a special friend!

Is that really what it means?

I was very shaken for a moment, but then I remembered what kind of person Roxana was.

“That can’t be possible.”

When I think about it, he is the one who puts a harpy in the freshman class placement test and makes her get raped.

It’s okay to pass this off as a joke that’s often played. After coming to a conclusion, I quickly regained my composition.

“Well, it’s still not bad.”

Whatever the intention of the person who gave it, as a man, you cannot deny that it improves your stamina.

Above all, by changing the words to energy and stamina, you must eat it because it ultimately means that your physical strength stat, which is the basis of it, will increase.

I swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Gulp!

The sweet pill that entered my mouth melted in the blink of an eye and gently passed down my throat.

[Stamina: 92 -〉 97]

Stamina increased by a whopping 5.

At the same time, I was impressed by the heaviness coming from the crotch while lifting my pants.

“Wow, that’s amazing?”

Even at a glance, it looks like it has grown by 5cm.

He was originally quite sturdy, but at this level, I don’t even envy black people in porn.

In fact, I had the impression that as the stamina stat grew, the stamina became stronger and the size gradually increased, but it seems that all the 5 stamina points gained this time were concentrated downward.

As expected, the elixir was amazing.

I wanted to make a lot of money and just randomly consume elixirs, but I couldn’t do that because it took time to completely digest the energy, and the effect was significantly reduced if I took it multiple times.

I boldly erased the temptation that came my way and organized my things.

Keep Roxana’s letter in the subspace pocket, and everything else goes to the trash can.

After cleaning up, I lie down on the bed.

“Anyway, is it time to make a decision?”

The date is now June.

Since I decided to receive instruction from Cain only for the first semester, it meant that the transaction would end in a month.

Will I be able to grow well by training alone without Cain’s help?

I assure you, no.

Not only will it be a hassle to train, but if you can’t even do it properly, your growth rate will slow down several times.

In the end, there is no choice but to advance the relationship with Cain somehow.

“I guess I’ll have to go to the information guild sooner or later.”

There is a lot of work to be done.

*

Early in the morning, I was circling the vacant lot, and as soon as I completed 100 laps, I fell to the ground.

“Huh… “Huh!”

Exciting! Exciting!

My heart is beating like it’s going to burst.

Today, she had something to say to Cain, so she put all her effort into finishing it as quickly as possible, but it seemed like it was a bit too much.

However, contrary to my thoughts, a feeling of pride was seeing out of my heart.

‘It took less than an hour.’

On the first day, I spent the entire morning just walking 100 laps around the vacant lot, but I definitely grew a lot.

Even now, unlike then, isn’t the movement suppressed using infinite thread?

If it hadn’t been for the double restriction using the infinite thread, the entire vacant lot would have been covered in less than 30 minutes instead of an hour.

I was lying down to catch my breath and woke up when my sweat cooled and I could feel the cool breeze.

When I look inside the store, I see Cain sitting on a chair at her counter, looking at a magazine.

I approached him.

“Are you done already? It’s definitely faster.”

“Yes. Thanks to you.”

“Okay. Then, take a look at what you learned last week. But what did you learn last week?”

Whether he had truly forgotten or was intentionally trying to make him angry, Cain couldn’t remember what he had taught him just a week ago.

Facing those rotten eyes, I took out a pile of documents from my subspace pocket and held them out.

“Rather than that, please look at this.”

“What? What is this?”

“You will know when you see it. “This is very important information for Cain.”

At her meaningful remark her, Cain stared at my face her and then moved to her documents her.

The expression on his face her, which was somber at first, becomes more determined, and his hands her his turn faster as he flips through the documents. He read through all the documents in an instant.

There is silence for a moment.

Then, before I knew it, Cain grabbed my neck with one hand and lifted it up.

Sigh!

“Wow!”

The pain of constricting one’s breathing.

I instinctively grabbed Cain’s forearm and tried to pull him away, but it was no use.

His humble appearance, he is a monster over level 300. It is impossible for someone like me to overcome the steel-like muscles that cover his entire body.

‘Fuck, there’s all this!’

I’m not surprised by Cain’s power his his his. What was more surprising was the speed. I glance at where I was sitting and belatedly see that Cain’s afterimage is disappearing.

It was so fast that an afterimage was left behind for a moment, making it look as if the body had split in two.

At that time, Cain asked her with a growl, his eyes shining brightly.

“Where did you get this?”

“Ugh! “It’s useful information, right?”

“Say it the right way. Otherwise, you will die here.”

As if it wasn’t a lie, Cain’s body gushed out with deadly force. The will of an expert like that becomes a weapon in itself. The suffocating pressure and fear of death consume me.

But no matter what, I have already experienced death.

Thanks to this, I was able to continue the conversation slowly without panicking.

“This is information obtained by requesting the Information Guild. Otherwise, where can I get it?”

“Dog sound! Do you think I haven’t even tried that? This is information that not even the Empire’s intelligence department can find out. This is not information that an information guild or the like can obtain. Where did you get it? If you lie one more time, I’ll blow your fucking head off. “Tell me!”

I can say for sure.

Cain cannot kill me.

Because the information written in that document is just as great and valuable.

‘There’s no way I could easily give up on the clue to revenge.’

Approximately 10 years ago, he lost his lover to the Necromancer, an apostle of the Dark Church.

Even his body was taken away, and now, as the necromancer’s loyal puppet, he has become an enemy of the empire, so he can’t help but be desperate.

I gave a prepared answer.

“Hehe! As expected, you are not fooled. Actually, this is information I obtained from my family.”

“Your family? The Marquis of Friuli has this information? “Do you think I will be fooled?”

As Cain said that, he slowly relaxed his hands, probably because he thought there was a possibility.

This is because, according to common sense, it is best for a first-year academy student, who is just a fool, to rely on his family to obtain such information.

Now all you have to do is give a reasonable reason.

“Really. The Marquis of Friuli is located on the northern outskirts, making exchanges with other territories difficult. The opposite also applies. It is difficult for the marquis’ information to go to the center.”

“So the intelligence department didn’t know? Anyway, this is not it. “How could I leave information about the Dark Church?”

“Or maybe the intermediate book that conveys information was omitted.”

“Are you saying there is a member of the Dark Church in the Intelligence Department?”

“Yes. “Then doesn’t that explain it?”

In fact, there is a spy for the Dark Church within the Intelligence Department. It is only at the terminal level and does not have enough authority to control information.

If they had been able to penetrate that deeply, the empire would have already fallen.

But the truth doesn’t matter.

The goal is to make Cain think that might be the case.

Then, naturally, my suspicions are covered.

“Do you believe me now?”

“… Let’s say so. Then what is your purpose? Why are you telling me this? “What is that?”

The time has finally come.

I suppressed my pounding heart and revealed my true purpose.

“Please accept me as a disciple.”

“What?”

“I ask you to accept me as a disciple. I have to become strong. There is only one month left in the first semester. I will continue to seek out useful information, so please keep teaching me.”

“… Such a crazy guy.”

The strength completely drained from Cain’s hands.

As I was stroking his neck after reuniting with the ground after a few minutes, he nervously scratched his head and asked.

“Is that really all there is? “You took a risk just to ask for something like that?”

“Is that something like that? I will become stronger no matter what. I don’t mind risking my life.”

I was sure I wouldn’t die in the first place, and more than anything, if I don’t do anything because I’m afraid of death, I’ll end up being crushed by reality.

I must become strong in order to achieve revenge.

Cain seemed to have read that determination, then let out a long sigh and turned her back.

“Follow me.”

“Yes?”

“Follow me. Because I have a place to go.”

And then he walks away without listening to the answer.

I stared blankly behind me for a moment, then realized that this was no different from consent, and followed in a huff.

We arrived at a warehouse in the corner of the store.

There are no items, but it looks strangely neat, so it looks like they took good care of it.

At that time, Cain lifted the wooden plank from the floor.

Kkei Iik─

“Go in.”

Stretching out beneath the wooden planks were stairs leading to the basement. Magic stones are placed at certain distances, so the long passage is clearly visible.

When she looked at Cain curiously, he frowned at her and urged her.

“I would have told you to go, right? “Do I have to say it twice?”

“You have to tell me what it is.”

“You will know it when you see it. Don’t make them say the same thing, but move quickly.”

Anyway, this guy’s stubbornness.

I was frustrated, but seeing no answer, I shook my head and walked down to the basement.

After a while, we arrived in a large square-shaped space.

“What is here?”

“It is a training space. “It’s where I write.”

“The place Cain used?”

“Okay. “Did you really think I hung out at the cafeteria every day?”

I couldn’t bring myself to say that.

As she awkwardly scratched her cheek, Cain clicked his tongue and walked toward the center.

When I stepped on the circle on the floor, a magic circle appeared in front of me with a tremendous sound of magic flowing, and magic bullets were fired from within.

Pabababang!

A total of four magic bullets, one per side, aim for Cain’s gap.

Of course, he just dodges without even moving his feet.

Like that, the magical power split the air and seemed to be absorbed into the wall on the other side, then doubled in size and was shot out again.

8, 16, 32 like that.

The magical bullets, which continued to double in number, soon reached the point where they captured the entire field of vision.

Now all I can see is countless magical bullets and the sound of them all exploding.

Then, at some point, all the magic bullets disappear as if washed away.

And Cain also disappeared.

“What? Where is it?”

The moment I looked around in wonder.

“You must have seen it well, right?”

A familiar voice was heard right next to me.

Startled, I turned my head and looked at Cain, who looked very calm.

“Ahh! It’s a surprise! “Why don’t you act a little more popular?”

“Do we really need to do that? Try to train your energy more. Now that I am the teacher, you must adapt to me.”

“Oh, have you really decided to accept it now?”

“Because that’s the deal. Then go and try it too. From now on, I plan to practice here in the morning. “Stop walking around the vacant lot.”

“Really? I like it! “I’ll give it a try.”

I confidently headed to the center.

Looking at what Cain did earlier, I understand that it is a mechanism that activates when you step on the circle in the center and stops when you step outside.

So even if you miss the magic bullet, as long as you get out of the circle, you won’t get a follow-up hit!

After activating the magic based on that judgment, what greets me is endless violence!

Even if you use up your desperate energy to escape from the circle, the magic bullet does not stop firing.

In the end, one mistake became an eternal torment, and he was hit by magic bullets until he was about to die, and then passed out.
