The Status Window Disappeared

The most common job at the academy (1)

A vicious character that interferes with graduating from the top of the class because it is not enough to follow him.

That is the Chris that Rosefeld sees.

Illesis comforted him with a strangely flushed face and a shrug.

“are you okay. You already lost Chuck anyway.”

“That’s right.”

‘But you were originally such a cool personality’ I forcibly swallowed the sound.

Illesis went one step further and carefully estimated the remaining exam schedule.

“hmm… If I get 3rd place in the next test, I think Rosefeld will be the top by a narrow margin. Shall we arrange that?”

“what? no. why do you want to do that? Weren’t you supposed to be graduating first?”

“No, I just need to get a scholarship every semester. You don’t have to graduate top of the class.”

Illesis, showing strange enthusiasm, asked Chris with burdened eyes.

“But what do you want to do? After all, is it better to marry a princess?”

“hmm? That, that’s not very good. Like you said, it’s no different than having enemies with him already.”

Only then did Chris answer with difficulty, following the flow of the story.

To think that Illesis would think of our situation this much.

I am grateful, but at the same time I am perplexed.

In the first place, he was a fake wearing Raiden’s mask.

It’s a body that doesn’t know when to leave this academy.

So I didn’t want to trouble her unnecessarily.

“Even if you can graduate as the top of the class, it would be a shame if you didn’t. Don’t worry about me and do your best. If you do that, Rosefeld’s suspicions will become real.”

“Oh yeah? Sorry. I guess I was a little mistaken.”

Illesis left without a soul after answering Chris’s request.

Maybe it’s because he’s been through some mentally difficult things, but he seems to have severe emotional ups and downs today.

Chris decided to leave her alone for a while, so he went back to his inn and left the letter.

The moment he left the inn again for dinner.

I felt a soft gaze on the back of his head.

In Chris’ experience, this was nothing out of the ordinary.

‘I’ve been tailing you for some reason. For what?’

Elgar’s quest, searching for the black flag, epic items, etc… There were so many suspicious corners that it was hard to pinpoint.

Chris hid himself on the other side of the alley and observed the follower’s movements.

But, by the way, isn’t the unidentified shadow that misunderstood Chris as running straight to the dormitory?

It was quickly covered by the shadow of the dormitory, but the body of the shadow was unmistakably a woman’s.

Chris’ dormitory is for men, so there is no reason for women to enter.

He guessed her purpose and moved quickly.

‘Are you aiming for an epic item!’

Other than that, there was no reason to rob the dormitory.

Epic items belonged to the user, so there was little fear of them being stolen, but that didn’t make them feel safe.

First of all, the fact that a student has an epic item is itself a problem, and black flag guys might have found a way to transfer ownership of the epic item.

They also invented a class change function, so I couldn’t put my mind at ease.

The mysterious intruder broke Chris’s door all too easily and went inside.

It’s a very sophisticated skill to have been caught following him.

Chris, who had been peeping at it from downstairs, waited quietly outside the room to find out her purpose.

Usually, sentries in places like stealth action games act blind when they turn slightly to the side, but a person’s field of vision is wider than they look.

Our eyeball is a semi-protruding structure, so it can cover an angle close to 270 degrees.

Because of this, Chris couldn’t even dare to peek into the room.

Just eavesdropping on the sounds leaking from the back of the room, aiming for the decisive moment.

Fortunately, the intruder’s search did not last long.

She swallowed her breath as if she had soon found what she was aiming for.

‘what? I didn’t hear anything like tearing the fabric.’

Epic items owned by Chris are cleverly hidden under the bed.

A structure that cannot be removed without tearing off the padded fabric at the bottom of the bed.

So it means that what she found was not an epic item.

But it’s still too early to be relieved.

Compared to the epic items, the level is a bit high, so the long sword in his closet can be a nuisance.

Chris entered the room only then, noticing that the intruder was not moving.

She was staring at something in front of the table and almost fell to the floor in shock when Chris appeared.

“Ah!”

“What are you doing?”

Chris looked at Rosefeld, who looked like he might faint at any moment, and asked stupidly.

I don’t know why I’m more surprised when I sneak in and find out.

What was in her hand was nothing but a letter from Elgar.

Rosefeld didn’t know what to do and made an excuse, but Chris couldn’t hear it properly.

A nobleman the size of a princess broke into the boys’ dormitory and stole letters.

It’s really good for useless action.

He stopped her and asked the most important thing.

“How did you open the door?”

“I have a master key for the dormitory… … .”

He probably abused his status as a relative of the dean.

If Chris trips properly, no matter how much the princess is, it’s something that can’t just go over.

But Chris had no intention of reporting her.

What should I do if I report it for nothing and get caught by the dean?

Instead, he decided to focus on more important things.

“So, why did you sneak in like this?”

“Yeah, I want to see this.”

Rosefeld showed the letter in his hand with a timid expression.

Apparently, he witnessed Chris receiving the letter and even overheard the conversation with Illesis.

Chris let out a sigh of relief and asked sarcastically.

“Are all your questions answered now? Can I close the library door soon?”

“ah… is it so.”

Chris left the room with Rosefeld and locked the door again.

He was about to head to the restaurant as before, but stopped for a moment when he felt Rosefeld following him.

Then she quickly matches his steps and stops in the seat next to him.

“… … .”

An uncomfortable companion followed in silence.

Rosefeld didn’t start talking until he almost reached the restaurant.

“I am sorry. Hiding in a room on purpose… … .”

“ah.”

Chris was genuinely amazed at her actions.

This woman’s apology was so late that he knew that he had already received it.

However, if I point out that here, it just makes me look like a narrow-minded guy.

He just hinted that he was going to get over this finely.

“are you okay. I was very surprised when I received the letter too. The princess must have misunderstood.”

“Is that so? So after all, Raiden-nim didn’t know what was written in this letter?”

“If I had known, I would not have received such a letter now.”

When Chris spits out something he doesn’t mean to say, Rosefeld eagerly agrees.

Her admirers gathered one by one as the restaurant got closer, but she subtly defeated them and walked away with Chris.

He worried about when this woman would separate from him.

I think I’ve said several times that I’ll leave this matter up for discussion, but I don’t see any sign of backing down yet.

Entering the restaurant, he bumped into Illesis, who had just finished eating.

As soon as she sees Chris and Rosefeld together, her expression changes to look betrayed.

“Ah, Elesis. let’s eat together.”

“are you okay. I have already finished eating.”

Elesis suddenly respectfully respects and distances herself from Chris.

Chris, very perplexed by her attitude, invited her again.

“What are you talking about? You usually take it twice… ouch!”

Illesis, who had cut off Chris’s ankle without saying a word, left the place, exuding a chill.

The moment Chris panicked and tried to chase after her.

An academy worker came up to him and informed him of the news.

“Raiden High Sword, this is a call from the dean. Please go to the dean’s office right now.”

“yes? Now?”

It’s not a normal thing to see that they call me at all times during mealtime.

Rosefeld was kind enough to let him go.

Chris feels strange and walks into the dean’s office.

The dean, who was sitting in the dark office, had a much heavier and darker atmosphere than he had seen before.

She sat him down and let out a deep sigh.

Chris decided to play at all.

“Dean, it’s okay. I won’t tell anyone about Rosefeld-sama… … .”

“huh? Why is Rosefeld? Isn’t that why I called you?”

“?”

Then why is it so serious?

Before Chris could finish his thinking, she came in quickly.

“Looking at you closely, it’s not Raiden? Even though he used some very high level shapeshifting spells, he’s bound to get caught if I look closely. Elgar’s servant. What the hell were you thinking hiding in my academy?”

“!”

The dean accurately pointed out not only that Chris was a fake, but also the existence of Elgar who was behind it.

He tried to grab it, but… If I hadn’t been confident in the first place, I wouldn’t have brought this up in the open.

The dean glared at him as if he were going to eat him and grunted.

“I want to torture you to my heart’s content, but there’s nothing good about me rashly touching the person of the demon king. Come on, tell me! For what reason did you plant people in my academy?”

Having regained his composure with difficulty, Chris quickly grasped her intentions.

She managed to pinpoint the existence of a spy named Chris, but unfortunately, the man behind him was too big.

Elgar is already hiding in the capital of Seidran Kingdom.

If she gives up her seclusion now and starts rampaging, the people of the city and the students at the academy will die in droves.

I’m not sure I can win against her, and even if I do, I’ll have to pay a heavy price.

That is a situation that, as the queen of the academy, I must avoid at all costs.

So, let’s figure out Elgar’s intentions.

If compromise or negotiation is possible, you can drive it there.

For the dean, like most people, all-out war is literally the last resort.

A lot of thoughts ran through Chris’s head.

Eventually, he found a plausible answer and carefully lucked out.

“Can I really tell you? When this is known, I… … .”

“If you don’t talk, you will die right here.”

“If you get shot by Elgar-sama, it won’t end with dying. Even if you die, you will suffer forever. OK, I’ll tell you. Anyway, if the dean would cooperate, it would be much quieter and faster… … .”

After moderately seasoning, Chris spat out as if walking on a blade.

This is a clear crisis.

However, depending on the immediate response, it may turn into an opportunity.

He made a very bold move.

“My master is looking for those who have sneaked into the academy. They are sorcerers who stole the master’s research results and went into hiding here.”

“Hmm, then, if we find them alone, will we go back?”

“I guess so. It’s not what the master wants to overextend. Otherwise, the kingdom of Sade would have been in a sea of fire long ago.”

“Without your strength… It was a bluff. Quickly tell me their names. If I can get the demon king back quickly, I’ll think about helping out as well.”

“great. Their name is Black Flag. A secretly organized magical society. If we find these guys, the master will be gone soon.”

Chris, who finally threw a trump card, looked at the opponent’s reaction nervously.
