“If my stamina bar was depleted, my body should have been unable to move, and there could’ve been risk of greater injury, yet rushing forward recklessly while still enveloped in magical power—what’s the point of that? You’re not a fighting rooster.”
“………There’s nothing I can say to that.”
“…Umm, I’m sorry?”
As I reprimanded the two of them from the bed, they scratched their heads, at a loss for words.
“………Haa.”
In the meantime, while glancing at the character illustrations in the scene, I found myself unable to say anything more.
“Haa… it’s true, if someone was pretty enough, everything else would be forgiven. Even though I’m clearly the victim here, I feel guilty scolding these two.”
Because Kang Ayul, who always ranks high in character popularity votes, and Lee Seo-yoon, whose looks rival hers, were playing Asoma sincerely, it was difficult for me to even utter harsh words toward them.
“Will you not do that again from now on?”
“………Yeah.”
“Yes, from now on I will not fight where Seo-ah can see…”
“……Absolutely where Seo-ah can’t see.”
“‘You’re definitely going to fight anyway, aren’t you?”
Perhaps because I’m a deterrent, they won’t fight like they used to.
But, that’s enough.
“Well, as long as I keep being around the two of you, you won’t fight, and you will cooperate and assist the protagonist of the original story, right?”
“Both of you, I trust you.”
With that, I got up from the bed.
–Wobble!
“…Hey!”
“Seo-ah!”
As I almost lost my balance and fell, Kang Ayul and Lee Seo-yoon quickly approached me.
“I’m fine, I think my legs just lost some strength.”
When I gestured for the two coming toward me to stay back, I checked against the wall if I had left anything in Kang Ayul’s room.
“Ah, I’ll take the school uniform.”
Using psychokinesis, I levitated the soaked school uniform, escaping back to my room like fleeing.
–Why is Ayul stopping me?
–Just leave her be for now. If you want to go, pass through me.
Seo-yoon was trying to come toward me but Ayul seemed to have stopped her… But, I don’t have the time to thank her for it right now…
“Thank you.”
I simply expressed my gratitude with a faint smile that Ayul could see, then entered my room by swiping my keycard.
“Well, this is my room.”
In contrast to the previous Yun Se-ah, my desk was a mix of neatness and disarray. Inside a special safe lay notebooks filled with the original story’s scenario in case I forget.
“Seo-yoon really only ransacked the wardrobe, it seems.”
It looked like neither the desk nor the safe in my personal room had been entered. Just, that was the feeling I got.
“…It’s soggy, this school uniform.”
–Shaaaaa!
I filled the bathtub with a little water and tossed the drenched school uniform into it.
-Plop!
“I have spare uniforms, so… For now, I’ll soak it in water and then use my power to do a quick wash.”
After putting the uniform into a basket with soap dissolved in water, I used psychokinesis to move it around, then wrung out the water, completing a five-minute wash in no time.
Even though the washing machine is available, somehow it feels better to wash it by hand.
“…Hmm, since I sweat so much, it makes sense to take a shower.”
Even though I changed clothes, I don’t think anyone washed my body for me.
Still, as I had technically become a man, with Yun Se-ah’s memories and my own experiences combined, I was in a strange situation where I couldn’t resist either path.
“No, it’s probably nothing, hah. Surely.”
The jasmine-scented shampoo I used felt out of place compared to the usual lavender scent, but I’ll chalk that up to a mistake.
-Tap.
After quickly finishing my shower, the lavender fragrance similar to Yun Se-ah’s filled the room.
“Hm, this is the scent alright. The familiar lavender.”
I must have been mistaken earlier because of the confusion.
-Flop!
I flopped onto the bed and stared at the empty ceiling.
“Ugh……all the upcoming events…”
Some female students from out of town will be jealous of Hanae Sakura and secretly torment her, and she will be saved.
In a temporary evaluation with a mad复仇귀who’s obsessed with killing monsters, a character under the control of a demon becomes unable to distinguish friend from foe and must be subdued.
For a survival assessment in an artificial dungeon, due to the manipulations of demons, C~B class gates were suddenly created within the dungeon, and cadets will have to tackle them together.
An event where a jealous second-year tries to stop Seong Ah-rin’s overwhelming magical talent.
An episode involving joining a club where a duel with an insane combat enthusiast ensues.
During the student council president election, after defeating all the rivals, a user who expected a duel with Yun Se-ah is left frustrated as she is overwhelming defeated without the fight even starting.
An episode where Eclecia is kidnapped by external forces during a trip with the club members and is rescued.
“Wow, there’s just so much.”
All these episodes happen in the first semester of the first year.
When I played the game, I was thrilled at the amount of content, but isn’t this a bit excessive from a human perspective?
Among most of these events, there are almost none where casualties don’t occur.
My task is to protect the children who will be crucial reinforcements in the upcoming battle against Mephisto, guide the protagonist to moments that will aid her growth, and ensure that she successfully beheads Mephisto.
To smoothly carry out all these actions…
(The next day)
“I want to resign from the position of Student Council President.”
It’s necessary to ditch this student council presidency.
…
…
…
“I want to resign from the position of Student Council President.”
-DING!
“What? Leaving the student council president position?”
“Ah, don’t worry. I can continue fulfilling the duties until the election day.”
The next day, my strike announcement threw the student council room into chaos.
“Has something happened, President?”
“Could it be the aftermath of protecting the vice-president and the transfer student…”
“No, that’s not it. Honestly speaking, I feel like I can’t defeat Ayul anymore. Also, as for me, running the company and managing the duties of the student council president simultaneously is pushing me to my limits.”
“………”
Kang Ayul’s gaze is on me again.
‘In order to firmly support the protagonist from behind, I must let go of the position as student council president.’
Student council president election.
Just by the name, it might sound like a peaceful election where campaigning and voting lead to the selection of the student council president…
But, that’s not the case.
‘It’s actually a selection competition with the title of academy strongest person, disguised as a student council president election.’
Those who seek the position don’t register as candidates but submit application forms for a tournament.
Every year, around 300~400 challengers gather, not all of them aiming for the presidency but students come for different reasons.
To carve their name into the academy before the midterm exams, to fight the renowned strong individuals, or to be selected into the student council by showing one’s worth to the next president.
Of course, a common feature in academy stories is that high-level guild scouts come to observe the important exams, midterm evaluations, or collaborative tests.
The student council president election, being an event like midterm exams, invites high-ranking officials from various guilds to look for promising students, meaning that the strongest people gather.
‘The most powerful person among all grades becomes the student council president, a very important rule of Raon Academy.’
Still, I wonder why it’s called a student council president election. Shouldn’t it just be called the Student Council President Selection Contest? Is it because changing it is bothersome?
“It’s disappointing, plans for last year’s revenge have fallen through. I’m just annoyed by the sound of someone stealing from an empty house.”
“You’ve already won the real combat exercise yesterday, so people who know will think that Ayul is more suitable to be the student council president.”
Last year, Yun Se-ah reached the semifinals with five remaining and defeated the top and second student of the third year in 15 seconds.
‘In the final, she spread a gravitational field and used the brief moment when Ayul was immobilized to unleash a flying kick from above, achieving a 10-second knockout.’
It was an utterly dominating battle.
It was overwhelmingly majestic, making anyone watching feel reverence rather than jealousy, so overwhelming that it seemed like the march of a tyrannical king.
‘There’s even a video record, so I could properly examine it.’
I was quite shocked because it was very different from Yun Se-ah’s usual pattern where she would unleash relentless energy attacks during boss fights.
‘If she had laid down a gravitational field in a boss fight… even with an invincible speed core, you wouldn’t be able to dodge anything.’
I knew that a gravitational field could slow down the opponent’s movements, but I only just learned that it could be created by powerfully spreading telekinetic force across the ground.
‘First, the preparation time for hovering is too long… but if I can shorten it, creating a gravitational field could allow me to hover toward the slowed opponent.’
However, I can’t create a gravitational field.
The output restriction of the earrings must be lifted… Unfortunately, Eve’s subtle threat to not destroy the earrings forces me to look for other possibilities.
Doping is banned, and I’ve already eaten so many elixirs that I would choke if I ate more, making it meaningless.
Hidden pieces? There aren’t enough hidden pieces to feed the main character and her companions.
My hope is, of course, Star Magic and the staff.
I’ve already planned to acquire Star Magic during the semester, so I’ll set that aside for now… the important thing is the staff.
Could it be because she can already perform without one, making it too overpowered in terms of gameplay for players to strategize against, or is it simply because she doesn’t need one?
Anyway, Yun Se-ah doesn’t carry a staff.
But, I am not the game’s Yun Se-ah.
A staff can only be beneficial. If a world-class killer who can handle dozens of armed opponents with one sword learns to use a gun, how much stronger would they be?
‘Staffs sold outside the academy have decent performance, but…’
They are insufficient.
Meanwhile, my steps have left the student council room and are heading toward a classroom.
[1st Year Class D]
-Click!
Instead of Class A where the protagonist is, this is Class D where academically underperforming cadets take their lessons.
-Smash!
“Ugh…!”
“At your level, you don’t belong in this academy…”
As expected, troublemakers were bullying the weaker students.
The state of the desks was a chaotic mess, and it seemed certain. Students who performed poorly during the entrance exam and were demoted were bullying the less capable D-class students placed in Class D to bolster their diminished self-esteem.
“Just cast healing spells and let me carry you, why are you clinging to this striker’s pride…!!”
“Hold on.”
However, I do not have time to focus on such dropouts.
“What do you w…?”
“Step aside, minor mobs.”
-Break!
“AAAAH!”
“Be quiet.”
-Clang!
After forcing the first thug into a trash can using telekinesis, likely dislocating his shoulder in the process, I quickly looked around.
“Is Miss Baek Sia here?”
A student who lacked materials to make weapons but, after an accidental meeting with the protagonist, realized her talent and went on to become the guild master of Korea’s highest-ranked blacksmith guild, crafting Battle Suits that made countless mecha fans ascend to heaven.
The craftsman who can make my staff is here.
