When this world was still a game to me, the second year of the academy was the most hectic time for users.

The first year of the academy is the moment to strengthen your character, so you only need to focus on the inside of the academy.

The third year of the academy is the time to finish the game, so you only have to worry about the outside of the academy.

Being a second year student at an academy in the middle of nowhere is bound to be hectic because you have to move around inside and outside the academy and do various things.

In particular, the most difficult thing for newbies entering their second year at the academy was moving around outside the academy.

How much of a headache must it be to have to pay attention to various small external factors while conquering external dungeons, talking to NPCs, and performing quests, while also having to do work inside the academy at the same time?

Of course, once you get used to these elements, the second year at the academy is the most enjoyable.

It’s fun to see the personal stories with the characters progress to some extent. Since the evil gods’ plan is still in progress, it’s okay not to worry too much about the main story, so you can do whatever you want.

Right now, I have a detailed plan for what I need to do in my second year.

I’ve already entered the world of the game, but there are a lot of things I would regret not doing.

what. In order to do these fun things, you first have to deal with the problem at hand.

The day after I told my friends I was going out. I joined my friends early in the morning and went out to the streets of the Academy to use the magic circle of teleportation.

“Is it okay to not prepare anything separately? No matter how soon I’ll be back, I’ll have to prepare a lot of things.”

“Poor prince, you really have no independence. If you’re going to say something like that, shouldn’t you prepare in advance? How long do I have to spoon-feed you?”

“No. I.”

“Don’t worry. Unlike the poor prince, I don’t grab other people’s pants. I’ve prepared everything, so just follow along.”

As I slowly turned my gaze back, I saw Arthur biting his lip.

Other friends who were used to seeing him like that only smiled softly, but it wasn’t Bisi.

She was semi-forced to join our group because we needed Adri, and she broke into a cold sweat when she saw Arthur getting angry.

For Vichy, Arthur was a powerful man with royal blood.

“Miss Bichy. It’s okay if you don’t pay too much attention. It’s like everyday life for us.”

Fabi seemed to be concerned about Bisi, but she spoke quietly, but her consideration had the exact opposite effect.

Even if it’s half a penny, a necromancer is a necromancer. Fabi, a saint of the church who was given to Vichy, was a much more difficult opponent than Arthur.

“Hmm? Why are you like that…”

“…It’s a bit sad that this is everyday life.”

The moment Faby saw Vichy’s face turn pale and was about to say something, Arthur sighed. Then Joey laughed lightly.

“It’s not just the prince, right?”

“That’s right. Isn’t the prince the only one who is a slob? It’s okay to act like you’re being bullied.”

“That’s true. Is it right to feel relieved that you are not alone? Am I the only one who feels like something is wrong?”

“Yes. I think it’s just the poor prince. He’s the only guy at the party, but he’s the most petty person at the party. In times like this, you would use the word “stupid,” right?”

“I understand. I’ll just shut up, so please do it in moderation.”

I was about to laugh when I saw Arthur raise his hands, when I heard a voice grinding my teeth next to me.

“He seems like a fool who doesn’t even know how good what he is receiving.”

The idiot fox who was riding on my shoulder in the form of a fox was burning with jealousy.

I burst out laughing at the very direct emotion, grabbed her by the back of her neck, and threw it to Carl who was next to me.

Caught in Carl’s grasp, she struggled and tried to escape, but it was impossible.

Because it was impossible to escape from the hands of the loyal Heojeopgyeon through the body of an animal.

Soon after, we left Academy Street and headed to the outside dungeon.

The motion sickness brought on by the teleportation jinn was still there, but it was no longer to the point of collapsing.

I calmed my aching stomach by taking deep breaths and went out of the building, leaving my staggering friends alone.

The landscape of the territory ruled by a small baronial family was closer to a quiet countryside than a city.

A place where if one of the villagers confesses to someone, the rumor will spread throughout the city the next day.

Whether I received the confession or rejected it, the next day, I would see a woman I knew tapping my shoulder with a smile. As I looked at the scene, I thought about the various quests and events that existed in this city, and then shook my head.

The moment you start talking to people, you know what will happen.

My presence in such a small, quiet place would feel too burdensome.

“Over there!”

The moment I thought about that and was about to take a step back, a group of children came running toward me from afar.

what? what? Why are they running to me?

Is it because of the stupid fox?

No matter what it looks like on the inside, it’s still cute on the outside, so you’re coming to pet the goofy fox!

Thinking that there was no reason other than that, I closed my lips and prepared to present the goofy fox in front of them.

“You are here!”

I was frozen for a moment by the bold name “you” and understood the situation when I saw my picture in the pendant held out by the boy standing in front.

So, they ran in blindly because they saw a person who looked exactly like the picture in the ornament.

Without even knowing who I am.

So, you can look at me with those exciting eyes.

…What should I do with this? This is my first time in a situation like this and I feel so burdened!?

Can’t I just flutter like usual?

I may be a bit of a trash person, but I’m not at the point where I lose my temper with these innocent kids!

As I was biting my lip, thinking that I couldn’t shatter the illusion, the children started talking about whatever they wanted.

“Of course! There can’t be more than one person this pretty!”

“But you’re not saying anything?”

“You must be very shy.”

“No! This person is prettier than the picture!”

I really didn’t know what to do, so I was just thinking about how to escape, when I saw a woman running towards me in the distance, scared.

“Sorry! Noble one! My kids are immature!”

“Mom! look! This person!”

“You guys should apologize quickly too! Come on!”

Even after forcing the children to apologize, the lady continued to look at me.

Can’t I just take him with me? Why do you keep apologizing again and again?

‘…is this a situation where I have to open my mouth?! Then I think it will get worse!?’

As I was in a situation where it was difficult to keep my mouth closed or open, I was about to break into a cold sweat when I heard footsteps behind me.

“Please leave. I don’t want to hold children responsible for their mistakes.”

The lady lowered her head again at the aristocratic and stiff voice and quickly left.

Ahhh. I really thought I was going to die from suffocation.

I turned my head to express my gratitude for the help and bit my lip when I saw Joy with a happy smile on her face.

“Young Ae is also weak towards children, isn’t she?”

“That’s right. It’s an unexpected sight.”

“It’s unexpected. Prince. It is natural given the Lady’s personality.”

“Character?”

…Wasn’t they crawling on the floor just a moment ago because of motion sickness?

Since when have you been watching? How long have I been watching this?

“But it is. Lucy.”

“…Why. Foolish prosecutor.”

“When they said it was you, they probably thought Lucy was a kid, right?”

“Big.”“Sigh.”“…Cook.”

Hearing the sound of laughter coming from both inside and outside, I strengthened my fist and grabbed the cheek of the idiot who was tilting his head.

“Aha! Aha!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about~ I guess the idiot prosecutor is so stupid that he can’t even speak properly?”

After the slight commotion passed, we immediately moved towards the dungeon.

No separate means of transportation was sought. We were the ones who experienced the forced march of the Knights of Arn with our own bodies, so why would we do that?

Nowadays we are faster and more efficient at riding our legs than renting a carriage!

ah. Of course, this does not apply to Vichy. This guy, a typical necromancer, has a very weak body.

So I just handed it over to Carl. I thought it would be uncomfortable for me to carry him.

But when I put him on my back, he made a very girly expression.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. If you don’t know the inside of the shabby Karl, he is a knight himself. If you can hide your shabby insides.

For a moment, I thought about telling him about Karl’s true nature, but I thought Bisi’s red-faced appearance was cute, so I decided to just leave it alone.

Anyway, if you walk around the forest with me, you’ll find out naturally, so why disappoint him first?

…More than anything, if you don’t say anything, the reaction when your true nature is revealed will be more interesting.

We started running to where the dungeon was, and before an hour had passed, we were able to capture the scenery of the mountain where the dungeon was and the forest lurking below.

“Is it okay to go in there? I think it would be perfect for getting lost.”

The scenery of the thick forest was so harsh that even someone like me who slept there would get lost.

“You idiot. Do I look as foolish as you?”

But not for me. I know the geography of every region in the Soul Academy universe, and I also perfectly memorize the paths in that lush forest.

‘grandfather.’

‘How can I not feel that?’

As I frowned and slowly turned my head to the side, Fabi also nodded.

It was clear.

An uneasy energy was gently emanating from within that lush forest.
