I Became the Academy’s Female Delinquent Chapter 27. Threat or Request

Thrud, who had led the thugs to the guard, hurriedly returned to Elsie’s house.

“It’ll be hard to go back to the dorm today.”

With a heavy heart, she rushed towards Elsie’s house in the distance.

The already ominous house was even more devastated after being destroyed.

‘Han Doyun, that guy, he didn’t wake up and cause trouble, did he?’

Thrud recalled the moment she used the Brísingamen on Doyun for the test.

She remembered it more vividly because she and Elsie had looked in the direction Doyun was standing to avoid the necklace’s influence.

‘It’s a creepy necklace.’

When Elsie used the necklace, Doyun seemed to resist for a while, but at some point, he went berserk and tried to attack Elsie.

He was excessively energetic, which was troublesome.

She had no choice but to knock him out with a punch, but it would be problematic if the necklace’s effect continued even after he regained consciousness.

Thrud thought of Elsie, who would be sound asleep in bed.

Her pace began to increase exponentially.

Sensing traces of Yarn-Greip’s power, Thrud entered Elsie’s room with a sense of bewilderment.

There were no signs of external force being applied.

Then…

*Bang!*

“Elsie?”

The first thing she saw was an empty bed.

Startled, Thrud looked down and saw Elsie passed out on the floor.

“D, did she wake up and try to leave?”

It felt like seeing her father, Sráz, passed out on the floor after getting drunk on mead.

Although there was a significant difference in that Elsie was passed out from electric shock, not drunkenness.

“If it were you normally, this wouldn’t have been a problem…”

Thrud, with a drooping brow, picked up Elsie and gently laid her back on the bed.

Then, she turned her gaze to the scene of furniture destruction that she had been trying to ignore.

Han Doyun, who had destroyed every piece of furniture in the room and was passed out wearing Elsie’s school uniform.

The sight was so exhausting to even think about what had happened that she could only cast a contemptuous gaze.

Only one small, intact drawer was neatly placed on Doyun’s hand.

Intrigued, Thrud approached and checked it.

“What is it that only this is so intact – Ah… this is Elsie’s…”

It was a drawer neatly filled with Elsie’s underwear.

It was so neat that it was evident how carefully she had handled the contents.

Even Thrud, who was always full of energy, felt drained.

Now, with a gaze colder than the Jotunheim’s blizzard, she glared at Doyun and sighed deeply.

She suddenly felt tired.

Sensing that it would be an eventful holiday, Thrud gave up thinking and dove onto the bed.

The chaotic day was chaotic until the very end.

As time passed, the moon, which had been running across the starlight, faded away.

The sun began to pour light onto the earth, and the day dawned.

***

‘Elsie, I promise. No matter how far apart we are, I will never lose you.’

Someone’s gentle voice.

A warm hand stroking young Elsie’s head.

Elsie woke up as the sunlight streaming through the skylight illuminated her face.

Elsie, who had managed to wake up feeling relatively refreshed, quietly got out of bed.

Then, she slowly examined Thrud, who was next to her, and Han Doyun, who was sleeping soundly on the floor, using the school uniform as a blanket.

“Anyone would think we had a party all night.”

It wasn’t even surprising anymore.

“…Let’s take a shower first.”

Hrókr, the family assassin who confessed his name.

It was necessary to retrace the information she had learned through him.

Elsie tapped on the door with her energy enhanced.

No electricity came out.

Relieved, Elsie picked out a spare school uniform in good condition from Han Doyun.

Finally, she rummaged through the drawer in his hand and headed to the bathroom with a determined look.

While taking a warm shower, Elsie fell into thought.

She had learned more specifically about the family and Elsie’s past through the information obtained from Hrókr, but that was all.

“The head of the family and the heir are away, and the family is being manipulated by a concubine.”

‘It’s not like a fairy tale-‘

How would Elsie have felt when she was hated by her stepmother and met her death?

Ironically, Elsie’s past was somewhat similar to her own.

“I wasn’t hated enough to be killed by my stepmother, but…”

Beyond her hazy memories, Elsie smiled bitterly as she recalled her past self.

After finishing her bath, Elsie put on a loose gown and went down to the first floor.

Her cheeks were flushed and full of life.

She leaped over the door panel embedded in the stairs and examined the crushed door.

“The hinges are torn off, so I can’t use this.”

However, Elsie’s pure strength without using energy was not enough to move it.

“Hmm- I don’t want to use my energy since I just took a shower.”

Inevitably, Elsie released her energy, pulled out the door panel, and threw it into the yard.

If she installed a new door and cleaned up the messy house, this holiday would be over soon.

“And send those sleepyheads home.”

Elsie approached the table and cast her gaze on the unopened letter envelope that she had shoved into the corner of the sofa the previous morning.

Suddenly curious about the contents of the letter that had been lying outside, Elsie decided to break the seal.

“If it’s more garbage, I’ll skewer it with Gungnir and grind it to dust.”

Declaring as if threatening the letter envelope, Elsie broke the seal and began to read the letter.

***

To my beloved Elsie.

I belatedly heard the news that you are entering the main academy of Midgard, Elsie.

This brother was very surprised because it was such sudden news.

If the head butler hadn’t told me through a personal route, I would have found out even later.

***

“Beloved Els… what the hell? And brother? Elsie’s brother?”

Sensing that the content would be dizzying from the start, Elsie narrowed her eyes and read the letter.

***

So I’m worried.

You wouldn’t go down to unfamiliar Midgard alone without consulting me.

I also suspect that woman pushed you out while Father and I were away.

***

“That’s right, that’s right. You know something.”

Based on the information Hrókr confessed, Elsie’s brother, who is presumed to be the sender of this letter, seemed innocent.

The inside story of Elsie’s poisoning was obviously directed at the woman, the stepmother.

***

If it’s something you chose of your own will, I have no intention of opposing it.

But to ease this anxiety, I think I should go see my lovely sister soon.

I couldn’t pinpoint your location, so I entrusted the search for you along with this letter to a nameless eagle.

This must also be that woman’s scheme.

I hope the nameless eagle finds you as soon as possible and delivers the letter.

As you know, that guy is so whimsical.

I just hope he doesn’t stray off course again and go to Hraesvelgr’s nest.

That way, I can quickly go to see my one and only sister.

-To my beloved Elsie, Dane.

***

The more she read, the more Elsie felt a hard-to-describe stickiness in the writing, and she became increasingly disgusted.

By the last phrase, she was holding the letter with her index finger and thumb because she couldn’t stand the unpleasantness.

“It’s a burdensome letter in a different sense.”

It was a strange content that felt like an emotion that was hard to tell whether it was affection or obsession.

Elsie put down the letter and absorbed the moisture from her hair with a towel, lost in thought.

It was a letter that felt like an instinctive danger, but she was able to obtain noteworthy information anyway.

‘Is Elsie’s brother really innocent in Elsie’s death? It’s difficult to judge until I meet him in person.’

Instead, Elsie focused on the nameless eagle and Hraesvelgr.

Both are legendary mythical creatures that appeared directly or were mentioned in the Aesir Saga.

Moreover, Hraesvelgr is a mythical-grade Jotun that she failed to summon the day before.

‘Was it because they were real in this world that I couldn’t summon them even after consuming so much energy?’

“Haaam- Elsie… good morning…”

While she was pondering, Thrud came down the stairs hugging a pillow.

It was unavoidable due to the series of misfortunes, but for the three of them, who were only supposed to have dinner together, to end up sleeping in the same room.

Elsie shook her head as she realized the reality at the sight of her coming down from the second floor.

“…Thank you for yesterday.”

Thrud must have cleaned up the mess alone because she had also passed out.

So Elsie thanked her a little shyly.

“Don’t mention it. The guard investigator said they would investigate the security in this area.”

“You’re diligent.”

“Glitnir is a city governed by the god Forseti, so security management is relatively thorough.”

“Forseti?”

Elsie flinched as the name of the god who was in charge of law and order in Norse mythology came out casually.

‘Most of the gods were only mentioned by name in the game-‘

At Elsie’s question, Thrud shrugged and replied.

“They say he used to be a god… I don’t know much about it either. Just think of him as the mayor of the city.”

There were many things to know and prepare for, but it was worth investigating the gods as well.

‘Reginleif said that the date of the martial arts tournament has not been decided yet, so there is quite a bit of time.’

Then, cutting off the bad relationship with the family before the martial arts tournament was the priority.

‘I’d gladly give up something like my family, so I wish that stepmother person would just leave me alone.’

And she needed to train this weak body that prevented her from fully exerting her abilities.

She had to be in perfect condition to draw out all her strength.

Thrud, seeing Elsie deep in thought, chuckled and turned to go back up to the second floor.

“I feel grimy, so I need to wash up too! Can I borrow the bathroom?”

“Sure. But all I have is a spare school uniform… I’m sorry, but you’ll have to make do with a bathrobe for loungewear.”

“That’s just one more reason to go shopping today!”

“…Could we maybe not go next time? At least until I’ve composed myself a little more…”

Thrud’s giggling voice faded away.

“Ugh—anyway, how long is Han Doyun planning to sleep covered in someone else’s clothes?”

He had destroyed all her favorite furniture and was sleeping so peacefully.

**Valkyrie Armament Summon: Gungnir!**

With an ominous vibration, Elsie’s ultimate armament, her main weapon, the divine spear Gungnir, was summoned.

A spear made of black metal and gold of unknown composition appeared in the air.

A chunk of energy drained away.

But she soon felt it replenishing with tremendous output.

“As expected, armaments that only consume energy briefly when summoned aren’t a problem.”

Elsie flicked her fingers, and the vibrating Gungnir began to move at incredible speed.

Elsie looked down at Gungnir, which flew as if it had a will of its own and landed in her hand, then released it again.

Gungnir began to float around her, emitting a low, ominous vibration.

“If mythological beings like Hraesvelgr or Forseti actually exist in this world, then you must have had an original owner too.”

Gungnir vibrated as if responding to Elsie’s thoughts.

The armaments and some of the items Elsie possessed were divine artifacts that, according to mythology, had owners.

“Will I get an answer just by doing this.”

Elsie got up, firmly closed her disheveled gown, and adjusted the knot.

And while getting used to the feel of Gungnir, which she had summoned after a long time, she headed to the second floor to wake up Han Doyun, who was still asleep.

*Thump, thump—*

She made an effort to ignore Thrud’s voice humming as she showered in the bathroom at the end of the hallway.

Elsie, her face flushed, pushed open the door and shouted, feeling embarrassed for no reason.

“Hey! Han Doyun! How long are you going to sleep… Oh, you’re not sleeping?”

Elsie’s eyes met Han Doyun’s, who was carefully folding her spare school uniform.

Han Doyun’s face was redder than ever.

“Uh—this, well, I’m organizing it to, uh, fix my mistake…”

The neatly folded uniforms were lined up on the bed. Even the only small drawer left at the end.

On closer inspection, the broken furniture had also been chopped into small pieces and arranged in one corner.

“I’m not going to ask what happened last night, it’ll just give me a headache.”

“Ah, yeah… thanks. Really—”

Doyun, awkwardly getting up, scratched his head and avoided eye contact.

He was embarrassed by Elsie’s appearance in her bathrobe, unsure where to look.

Elsie, regardless, walked lightly to Doyun and grabbed his wrist.

The refreshing scent of just having showered and the sensation of her grip on his wrist rushed over him, and he jumped and leaned back.

“No, seriously, I’ll forgive you for everything! Just give me an excuse to clean the house so I don’t get dragged shopping today!”

He couldn’t concentrate because of the lumps shaking every time the arm that grabbed his wrist shook.

But he managed to nod in agreement.

It wasn’t just because he had superhuman patience.

**Zoooom—!**

An ominous vibration rumbled low.

The golden spear floating around Elsie changed its angle and was aiming at him.

It was an ominous spear that he could instantly recognize was not just a simple spear.

‘Is this a threat…’

“Elsie, that spear…?”

Doyun, pointing to the vibrating spear with a hopeful heart, swallowed hard.

Elsie, unaware of Doyun’s question, just smiled confidently and pointed to the spear.

“Ah—it’s my main armament, Gungnir! You can tell at a glance, right? This is no ordinary weapon. I spent so long in the game trying to get this…”

Elsie was excited to introduce her main armament.

But she tilted her head, seeing that Gungnir was automatically aiming at Han Doyun and was ready to fire.

She had never given Gungnir the order to fire?

“Why is it ready to fire? That was almost a disaster.”

If you touch the blade when it’s vibrating, it’ll tear through anything, stone, iron, flesh—

Doyun couldn’t bring himself to smile at Elsie’s excited explanation.

Still, Elsie looked so excited that he could only nod.
