There are two main factors that can increase your intelligence in the game Soul Academy.

First of all, semi-forcibly level up using elixirs, skills, items, quests, etc.

I have tried it several times so far, but it has failed due to realistic problems, and since I do not like studying that much, it is a method that I will continue to try.

Another one is the Jeonggongbeop. Invest the time you spend at the academy into studying and gradually advance.

It’s not much different from how I improve my physical abilities through hard training.

When this was still a game, it wasn’t that difficult to raise intelligence to a certain level.

All you had to do was press a button to study a specific subject, and the character would study on its own.

There was just a problem of efficiency, but the act of increasing intelligence itself was not very difficult.

But when it became reality, the story was different. Just as I had to move my body to improve my physical abilities, I had to take classes and study to improve my intelligence.

Early part of the semester. So, since I thought of this world more as a game than now, I didn’t pay much attention to raising my intelligence.

Since I was semi-forced to choose the profession of Paladin, I thought I only had to raise the stats needed for it.

So I just slept all day during class and didn’t even think about studying for the test, so I just focused on tricking myself into passing it.

However, as time passed, the story changed.

I thought this world was just a game and couldn’t move on. Now I feel like I am a person rather than a character. I could no longer accept the intelligence of 58.

no! Think about it!

It doesn’t matter if the character in the game is a jerk!

What does that have to do with games! A character just needs to fulfill his or her role!

It’s none of my business no matter how much of an asshole he acts on a regular basis!

But the reality is different!

In reality, you can’t live like a fool!

This has to do with my pride!

‘grandfather. ‘Not even a day has passed since I told you not to beat me with facts?’

‘ah. yes. I guess so. Since dementia has arrived, I will understand. I’m glad you’re in Mace. ‘It’s a bit difficult to treat someone who’s drooling.’

After easily subduing my grandfather, I headed towards Avery. Even though he has a dirty personality, he is a guy who works hard at self-development. You must have figured out everything, such as the scope of the test.

“…Uh. If it’s Lady Lumley, she hasn’t returned from outside yet.”

However, Avery was not in the academy. One of the ladies staying next to her said that she went to raid the dungeon outside.

Since the commoner was talking about seducing her, Toby must have said something to Avery.

“Test scope?”

“Okay. Bridesmaid.”

The next one I chose was Vichy, but the range of classes she took was very different from mine.

So, I couldn’t get everything I wanted with just her.

“Ha. It’s really useless. You will have to live as a bridesmaid for the rest of your life.”

“…I’m sorry.”

“Ah. And take this.”

“What is this?”

“A dungeon that would be nice for you and people as insignificant as you to stop by.”

“Uh. Uh oh. Thank you?”

“I have something that will be helpful to you, even if you are a poor bridesmaid, so go even during vacation. If you’re going to be on the floor for the rest of your life, it doesn’t matter.”

After searching for various people in my narrow network, I had to take the last resort.

“Test scope?”

Joey tilted his head after hearing my question.

“I don’t know?”

“No. I know everything.”

“Then what is it? You don’t want your competitors to know? I didn’t look at it like that, but there’s a dark corner?”

“I was just puzzled because it was the first time Lucy had asked me something like this. If it were anyone else, Lucy would ask, so what would I hide?”

Puzzled? why? You all know very well that I don’t usually study.

He puts his head on the desk every class and laughs, so how can he know the scope of the exam?

Joy asked me about a subject I didn’t know and told me the scope without a moment’s hesitation.

I can’t believe I keep all of this in my head. Joey: Contrary to what he actually looks like, he is a model student.

“More than that, Lucy. What happened to the story about the barrier?”

“I heard it’s difficult right now because the dean is so incompetent?”

“Really?”

Joy was visibly upset when told that it would be difficult to do it right away. There must have been a lot of burdensome aspects in correcting the barrier.

After telling Joy to practice, I returned to the dormitory and opened a book.

good! Now all I really want to do is study! This time, I will escape from the trap of having an intelligence of 58!

After making up my mind, I opened the book and after about thirty minutes had passed, I quietly spoke to my grandfather.

‘help! ‘Douuum!’

‘got upset!? Are you mad just because I said that!?’

‘That’s Okay! Don’t say anything! What am I? ‘Do you think I’m a loner who has no one to ask for except my grandfather!?’

He said something like that and got angry!

How did such a narrow-minded person become a hero?!

I guess the Bible doesn’t even say anything about generosity or anything like that!?

Actually, all believers who worship the god of pervert pedo are like that!

…Except Fabi!

I was so excited at the moment that I said I didn’t need it, but when I tried to find a place to get help, I felt at a loss.

Anyway, I have maintained first place so far by using various tricks.

That kind of person suddenly knows nothing! Who will believe you if you shout out!

It’s even hard for me to explain the situation properly because of my Mesugaki skill!

What do we do? What should I do?!

The best thing to do would be to bow to Grandpa, but I don’t want to!

If I do that, my grandfather will be so arrogant and say something!

I can’t see that! Just thinking about it makes my stomach turn!

After hearing my grandfather’s teasing, I suddenly got up from my seat, put down my book, and went outside the dormitory.

Then, I sneaked out of the dormitory and knocked on Joy’s dormitory door.

“What’s going on again? Lucy?”

“…”

“Lucy?”

“I came to keep an eye on Idiot to see if he was being lazy. ruler. Idiot. Tell me what you learned!”

*

Joy smiled happily as she looked at Lucy furrowing her brows next to her.

Lucy relies on me first. This would have been unimaginable in the past. Because I was the type of person who just needed help from Lucy.

“Idiot.”

“…Yes?”

“Facial expression: Do you know how disgusting you are right now? You look like such a stupid fox.”

“J. Me? Is that what my expression looks like!?”

Joy, who was frightened by the story that she was like an animal that had given up her personality, quickly calmed her expression and looked at the page Lucy had opened. Just to change the topic, talk about studying!

“Huh?”

Is there anything to worry about in that part? I learned it in first grade too.

It’s a bit more advanced, but considering Lucy’s grades in first grade, it’s definitely something you should know, right?

“Lucy? What do you not know about that?”

Lucy purs her lips after hearing Joy’s question.

This is Joe, who has been with Lucy for a long time. She didn’t say anything, but it’s not hard to guess what she was thinking.

“You really don’t know everything?”

“…”

“…Why?”

A feeling of shame appears on Lucy’s face as she reveals her honest emotions since last winter vacation.

I’m not joking, I really don’t know what’s written there.

After realizing this, Joy wondered if she was dreaming.

Doesn’t that make sense?

Lucy did not miss the top spot throughout her first year at the Academy.

Even though she was lacking compared to her actual skills, she always maintained grades that could be considered top-notch.

How can you not know that?

Lucy isn’t stupid and there’s no way she could have forgotten that just because a few months have passed.

Joy, who was questioning her growing doubts, froze for a moment when she saw Lucy keeping her mouth shut.

The Lucy that Joy knows is a confident person in any situation. This means that if there is something you are lacking in, you are someone who will come out stronger.

Why can’t she even say a single word properly?

Something happened.

It’s clear.

There was something.

Otherwise, there’s no way Lucy, who always took first place as if it was a given, would forget this.

What heightened Joey’s suspicions was the fact that Lucy often ran into danger voluntarily.

Wasn’t it not long ago that she was willing to risk her life to move forward?

Joy, who vividly remembers the scene at that time, once again suspected that Lucy had done something dangerous without their knowledge.

that’s right. Last time, I broke the ceiling of the dungeon where Erginus was!

How could something that causes a phenomenon that even the Grand Wizard can’t understand be easy to obtain!?

What happened to save it?

“Lucy! You!”

Joey, who was about to ask what happened again, remembered why Lucy was trying to hide dangerous things and pursed her lips.

Lucy hides her troubles because she doesn’t want to worry us.

But is it really worth doing it?

Wouldn’t that tarnish Lucy’s sacrifice?

Lucy’s story unfolds in the mind of Joy, who has a rich imagination thanks to reading numerous novels.

Lucy, who ran into danger alone and lost something, tried to hide him, but eventually felt her limits.

So, after thinking about it, I came to find someone I could rely on and ask for help.

“Black.”

“…Huh?”

“Ugh!”

“Huh? Idiot. Why are you suddenly.”

“Lucy! If you don’t know anything, ask anything! I’ll do my best to let you know!”

“Uh. Uh oh. okay. Do whatever you want.”
