[ Episode 184. Another omen]
Time went so fast.
Suddenly, a trio of first-year students became sophomores and were playing the role of seniors.
‘Among the new kids, there were no playables, so I wasn’t paying attention.’
There are no playables, but there are quite a few supporting characters, so I have to think about it.
Wei Yiing-
I was thinking about how to teach Serena how to learn swordsmanship naturally, but I went there without thinking, but I didn’t know Louis would be with me.
He seemed busy right now, decided to meet tomorrow, and headed back to the dormitory, but the tablet vibrated.
‘executive.’
The text that arrived was from the administration.
He asked if he could come to the principal’s office because he has business.
I had no idea what kind of business I had, but the originally planned meeting with Serena had collapsed, so I had time left.
As soon as I turned around and went straight to the principal’s office, Deos, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, greeted me.
“Did you have a good vacation?”
“yes. so so.”
I think it’s no different from before because my long hair has been cut again, but… It’s
been four years, so maybe my appearance has aged.
“Um…”
Theos looked at me with suspicious eyes before opening his mouth.
“Nothing else, we invited academy students from other kingdoms to the tournament starting tomorrow.”
Students from other academies?
This was an unprecedented development in the game.
Still, it wasn’t the twisting that was a big problem, but he nodded.
“So, student Adrias, I called because I was curious about how you would do this tournament.”
“How are you doing?”
“Are you going to win?”
I could feel Deos’ serious gaze.
“As the principal of Rodlen Academy, I hope you will raise the status of our academy in this tournament.”
“You talk as if I didn’t want to win, so I didn’t.”
“Last year’s tournament was bad luck. But in this tournament, it looks like Adrias will win as long as things don’t change. This is my personal opinion. haha.”
“It sounds like you shouldn’t hide your skills, is that true?”
“Can you?”
I shrugged.
In the first place, I didn’t lose the last tournament on purpose, I lost with my real skills.
I didn’t expect that Diene’s skills would grow so rapidly.
Maybe because of the appearance I showed at the Tower of Modras after that, they thought I was hiding my skills.
It’s just that he’s gotten stronger much faster than others thanks to his evolution.
“All right. I was thinking of winning in the first place.”
“great. let’s hope By the way, student Adrias.”
“yes. Please speak.
“Do you know Shinchang’s son?”
“Roberto from Tarmil Academy knows.”
“The student said he was coming this time too.”
The continent was wide and there were many strong people.
Among them, Shinchang Dread, the duke of the Legion Kingdom, was one of the 10 strongest on the continent.
Of course, the 10 Continents was not accurate because it was made up by the luxury men of each newspaper, but at least his reputation was a real Auror Master.
The son of such a Shinchang was attending the Tarmil Academy in the Kingdom of Legion. Originally, he was an NPC that could only be seen a few years later, but he unexpectedly saw it early.
The new spearman’s son, Roberto, was already quite famous.
He is also a troublesome guy who burns a rivalry with Rodlene Academy by himself.
“To be honest, I think Adrias’s skills have already exceeded the student’s category for a long time. I would like to take this opportunity to show the difference in class.”
“I will try.”
After that, after a small talk, we returned to the dormitory.
It seemed that he felt doubts about my changed appearance, but judging by the fact that he didn’t say anything, it seemed that he was considerate of me.
Visiting from other academies was a bit familiar because I had already been through it the other day, but I just didn’t want other variables to happen.
[Currently held points: 14890pt]
After entering the room, I checked my points for the first time in a while.
Is it because I have more time left?
‘Ability draw……. What’s good to use it for?’
For reference, it has been a long time since I checked the rewards obtained from achievements.
During this vacation, I achieved 2 achievements, and maybe I was very lucky during this time, these 2 traits came out as miscellaneous traits.
[Endurance]
-Normal
-Damage received is reduced by 5%.
[Stun resistance]
– Normal
– Stun resistance goes up.
It’s better than nothing, but it’s a bit disappointing.
So it was only natural that I would turn my eyes to the point.
For once, the convenient function that can be used every week was used every time.
It shows the best features every time as if it knows my situation, so I buy it even if it is expensive.
In the first place, the places where you can spend points are limited, so I don’t think it’s a waste.
[Purchasing Power: 1600pt]
The price increased by 100 points each time the ability was purchased, boasting tremendous inflation.
I was saving more than 10,000 points just in case I wanted to spend points on convenience features, but I was just about to give it a shot.
[Draw]
[1000 pt is consumed per draw]
[Use 1 draw.]
[1000 pt deducted.]
-Du-du-gu-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-a roulette-
like thing appears in front of you with subtle sound effects. started going back
After waiting for a while, analyzing that it could not be used in an urgent situation, the roulette results came out with all three pictures missing.
[Boom!]
[The Mr. Serpent’s scales came out.]
“Ohhh?”
It seems that they gave random japtem, but a rather rare item came out.
The Sea Serpent was a giant monster that only inhabited the ocean, so it was hard to catch and hard to meet.
Of course, one scale cannot make anything.
It’s a shame for 1,000 points, but should I say that there was some possibility?
“What will come out when it explodes?”
However, this dung mangem did not provide odds.
I was curious about the jackpot, but if the probability is in decimal units, it felt like I was wasting points for nothing.
‘But…….’
The current point is 13000.
Shall we use only 3000 more points?
-Du-gu-dugu-dugu-du-gu-du-gu-du-gu-du-gu-

-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du

.
Replaced with my 3000 point crap.
Still, for some reason, my hand went again.
Is this the risk of gambling?
‘Jackpot is knocking on the door.’
My intuition was telling me so.
Now if you draw one more time, the jackpot……
[Boom!]
[Fairy’s wing powder came out.]
……For the time being, the draw is sealed.
**
“Adrias came…?”
“yes. Seniors.”
Vivian, who happened to meet Serena on her way back from a late night training session, absentmindedly repeated her words.
Then, suddenly, I turned my gaze to the first person I saw.
“……who?”
“Nice to meet you, senior Vivian. My name is Fione Ardi, a freshman in the Faculty of Engineering.”
“Have you seen Adrias?”
“yes? yes. I saw.”
“how was it?”
“yes?”
Pione, who kept asking questions at the unexpected baptism of questions, soon realized that it was an rudeness to her senior, and answered at a loss.
“It looked so scary!”
“Are you afraid of Adrias?”
“Ah, it’s not like that, but should I say that it has an atmosphere that you can’t approach without permission…”
Pione waved her hand in confusion.
Vivian, who tilted her head at her, asked Serena.
“Why did Adrias come?”
“I didn’t hear that. I told them that I was a bit busy because I was in charge of guiding the new students, so he left right away saying I’d see you again tomorrow…”
“Huh.”
Vivian, who let out a strange hum and opened her eyes, approached Serena.
Then Serena shook her head and said.
“I never made a separate appointment with Adrias-senpai……. Ah! Louis! I decided to watch Louis too! I’m not the only one who wants to see it, so why don’t you join Vivian sunbaenim?”
“me too? Is that okay?”
“Sure!”
“okay. good.”
Vivian’s face brightened and she nodded, and Serena, who was relieved with a sigh, smiled awkwardly.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow, senpai.”
“huh.”
As soon as Vivian disappeared, Pione sneaked up to talk to the sweaty Serena.
“Is that him? Runner-up in last year’s tournament.”
“Oh right. Senior Vivian Velokan. You are a talented person like a ghost.”
“You’re a little different from what I thought.”
“huh. Be a little prickly. However, since your skills are real, no one can ignore you.”
Phione pondered and asked again.
“Are you stronger than the seniors called the Four Heavenly Kings?”
“You mean that? the difference between heaven and earth. You probably didn’t even notice it when you saw it in the morning.”
“Are you noticing?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. If you had skills like yours, you would have felt something in the match between Louis and Jamal seniors that you saw today?”
Pione, who was silent for a moment at Serena’s words, nodded slowly.
And he said it honestly.
“I was a little disappointed. I guess my expectations were high because Rodlen Academy has gathered the best equipment on the continent.”
“You can’t just look at a fragment and judge it already.”
“yes. Still, I’m not careless. Because I am still weaker.”
Then, suddenly, I remembered a man whose eyes met for a brief moment, but left a strong impression.
The person who changed the slightly disappointing first impression of the academy.
“How strong is Adrias-senpai?”
“Yes, of course he must be the strongest in this academy.”
“I’m curious. I want to see it in person. If you don’t mind, can I come with you tomorrow?”
“Yes? Well…”
Serena answered vaguely and put on a slightly troubled expression.
However, Fione asked if he had any intention of backing down.
“I really want to check. Is Adrias-senpai really that strong?”
Serena, who couldn’t bear to reject those burning eyes, sighed and said.
“ha. I’ll ask you once. If it’s okay, let’s talk then.”
“yes. Thank you, senior.”
Fione smiled brightly, lowered her head, and asked about Vivien, which suddenly came to her mind.
“That senior. It’s Vivian sunbaenim from earlier.”
“uh. why?”
“Are you dating senior Vivian or Adrias?”
“Um…well. I don’t think so.”
“Then, why did you react like that
earlier ?” I don’t know if you know it yourself.”
“Ah, strong men are popular.”
“That…I don’t know. Adrias sunbae-nim has a lot of guys he admires, but he’s a little hard to get close to, so it seems like he doesn’t see girls of the opposite sex. I’m a senior from the Faculty of Magic in the first place, so I don’t know the atmosphere there.”
“I like strong people.”
Serena stroked her hair at Phione’s words.
“Yes, yes. Whoever you like is your heart. Still, if you like Adrias-senpai, keep in mind that there is a big wall called Vivian-senpai.”
“It remains to be seen. And…”
“And?”
“no. Now go back to the dormitory, senior.”
Fione, who naturally clung to Serena after finishing the story, quietly thought to herself.
Adrias Cromwell.
Head of the Cromwell family.
…And a person who may have original sin.
‘Let’s see how strong it is. It’s probably okay.’
A dark shadow cast over her eyes.
