40. The elf princess sitting affectionately next to me. And the face of the saint who saw it.

“More than that, I don’t do business with people who hide their faces. Could you please take off that robe?”

King Sal made a troubled gesture at my words.

“Sorry. I don’t think that will work. Can’t you just skip it this time?”

I thought this might be a little difficult. I had a feeling I would never take it off.

I declined the request as a request, but should I say it showed a hint of determination?

‘Well, there’s nothing more serious than having your identity revealed to an assassin.’

I quickly agreed. I wasn’t expecting this anyway.

“Then, tell me the terms of my deal. Tell me why a man like you is in the academy. I want to know the real reason without lies.”

“That’s…”

“Don’t say it’s to get the top spot at the academy.”

“Tch, you’re quick-witted.”

No matter how King Sal was, an assassin could not receive territory. That was a natural thing.

Therefore, I didn’t infiltrate the academy to take the top spot.

Soon King Sal showed a worried gesture for a moment.

Then, he opened his mouth as if he had no choice.

“A dimensional portal will soon open here. I understand it will be held within approximately 10 days.”

“Portal?”

“Yes, it also appears above this academy.”

It was quite surprising information. I don’t know how I knew this.

‘Have you met a prophet?’

However, there was no way that King Sal could have entered the academy just like that.

I shook my head.

And then I spoke to him again.

“There’s no way you were admitted here just because of that, right?”

The supplies provided by Earth were amazing. But there were still some shortcomings.

“Yes, that’s right. However, it would be a different story if it included a panacea that is said to cure ten thousand diseases.”

“Panacea?”

“The items that will appear at the Academy this time are said to be sent from a country called Corea.”

“Corea…? But?”

“And Correa promised to send a panacea from the next portal.”

It was my first time hearing it.

No, I don’t know where on earth you got this information.

“How did you know?”

“It was written by chance on one of the papers distributed in Correa.”

“You barely believed that and entered the academy?”

“And… I can also see the saint…”

“Saint?”

“Hmm, actually, I’m a fan of the saint…”

I made a dumbfounded face.

To put it simply, he infiltrated the academy because of a panacea and a saint to be sent from Korea.

‘This is my first time knowing that King Sal is a fan of a saint.’

Anyway, I thought about the new information I had learned: a panacea.

Of course, there was no way something like that existed on Earth.

However, from the perspective of the people here in Newpan, there was one medicine that was considered a panacea.

‘It’s an antibiotic.’

It was also the latest antibiotic on a developed and developed planet.

Of course, to medieval people here, it would be considered a truly divine substance.

‘Now Korea is trying to give antibiotics to the Middle Ages.’

Perhaps most diseases will be cured?

As the name suggests, it could be said to be a true panacea.

I felt a great deal of interest arise. It was because it smelled like money.

Plus, I also needed antibiotics. No matter how much the third awakened person was, there was nothing he could do about bacteria and viruses.

In times like these, having antibiotics on hand will save you a lot of worry.

‘Holy power doesn’t even kill viruses. ‘I really need to get the antibiotics.’

I nodded. This level of information could be considered quite high-quality information.

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

“Then you won’t kill the prince, right?”

“Yes, I promise.”

“You can trust the Archmage’s promise. Tsk, anyway, I leaked expensive information for no reason because of that guy.”

King Sal made a mockery of the prince by cursing him. And then he quickly turned around.

“Then, I’ll go. It’s soon time for the house manager to check the staff…”

Who would have thought that King Sal would say something like that…

There seemed to be some cognitive dissonance.

Of course, I was the same way.

I am also 29 years old and currently working at the academy.

Anyway, I watched King Sal disappear.

Slurp.

He disappeared from the spot in an instant. It was as if magic had been used.

‘If we had fought, we would have been in big trouble.’

After meeting King Sal, nothing happened.

No, I actually got some good information.

Even though I couldn’t kill the hero, it was quite a satisfying situation.

‘Plus there’s money.’

I held the box and looked at the thieves, who had a fearful look on their faces.

Everyone seemed distraught about what had happened today.

I approached them.

And gave a firm warning.

“You know what happened today… right?”

“I will shut up!”

“If even the slightest rumor gets out… the 5 people here will definitely die to me. Did you understand?”

“Okay!”

Fortunately, everyone was seriously scared.

They heard what King Sal said to me. It was a story about me being the great wizard of the Abyss. Of course, I couldn’t help but shiver.

I nodded. First of all, it was late today. It was soon curfew. If you don’t go home before 12 o’clock, a signal will be sent to the housemaster’s magic item.

‘Then you get penalty points.’

This had to be prevented.

I felt the same way King Sal felt and prepared to go.

Oh, that time, one of the thieves told me something I had forgotten.

“Anyway, what should I do with that…?”

I looked at the bleeding prince and his bodyguard.

Come to think of it, I had completely forgotten about the prince and his bodyguard.

I made an annoyed expression. Still, I couldn’t help it.

“Tsk, I guess I should treat him. Still, I made a promise to King Sal.”

If left like this, he will die from excessive bleeding. I slapped him with a face that said I didn’t like it.

Still, the most pitiful thing here was the prince who fainted. We were able to provide this level of service.

‘Let’s assume I gave him 5,000 gold worth of treatment.’

I treated the prince and those who were seriously injured.

Probably, at this rate, I won’t die.

However, that was all.

I left the prince in the park.

They only treated it and left it behind.

The prince was no longer of any use anyway. All I had to do was not die.

Perhaps, when he wakes up, he will go into the dormitory on his own?

‘Are you sure I’m going to die?’

***

next day.

Today was a morning class day.

It was a subject called character studies(?), which was also a required subject for the major.

To put it simply, it was a lecture to learn proper character(?).

Of course, all students in the special department had to take it.

I also participated in the lecture with a tired face.

I was so upset yesterday that I couldn’t sleep much. So I was quite tired.

‘Ugh… the worst morning class.’

Somehow, it seemed like nothing had changed since I was a college student.

I sighed and sat down in the empty seat.

Fortunately, because we arrived early, about half of the seats were empty.

A saint and a warrior were sitting in the front row.

However, the saint’s condition was strange. Usually she would secretly glance at me. And then he blushed alone.

But it didn’t happen this time.

Probably, it was because of an incident that happened yesterday.

‘It looks like he knows he did something wrong too.’

From now on, you don’t have to do that. A mistake of this magnitude could well be forgiven.

At that time, a sudden thought occurred to me.

‘for a moment. ‘You said King Sal likes a saint, right?’

There was clearly a high probability that King Sal would be in the special department. This was because the time when he recently infiltrated and the time when the special department was created were the same.

‘And seeing as you’re talking about the housemaster, it’s true that you’re a student.’

I looked around with eagle eyes.

It would have been better to find out King Sal’s identity as quickly as possible. That way, I could prepare for the unexpected.

‘Suddenly, he could do something like assassination. ‘You have to be prepared.’

I quickly looked around.

‘A guy who likes saints…’

Many men liked the saint. That was natural.

Noble status, beautiful appearance, bursting body. If you didn’t like this saint, you wouldn’t be a man either (I don’t hate it either).

However, there were only a few people who liked it enough to call themselves fans.

From King Sal’s point of view, he would have said this without much thought. But it was very valuable information to me.

I was able to choose a total of 3 people.

‘Oliver, Udo, and… Michael?’

It could be said that these three people were the ones who liked the saint the most. Probably, even if there were no warriors, she would have approached the saint and handed her a gift.

However, the problem is…

‘All three of them are just ordinary?’

The point was that I didn’t feel like a third awakened person at all.

It felt like I was just seeing a suitable first awakened person.

It was indeed King Sal.

‘I can’t believe the disguise was so perfect…’

Anyway, it seemed difficult to find it right now.

That was when I was sighing inside.

“There’s no room here, right?”

Suddenly, a refreshing voice was heard next to me.

I turned my head.

Then I could see a very beautiful woman with silver hair and silver eyes.

It was the elf princess Lucien.

I don’t know when it came to me so silently. I guess I was so worried that I didn’t notice him.

“Yes. None.”

“Really? Well then, I’ll sit here.”

She sat next to me with a calm face.

Originally, the seat next to me was always empty. No matter how good my impression was, I was still a mercenary king. It was difficult to access easily.

And she has been sitting with Constantine all this time.

But this time he just sat next to me.

And I could see why.

‘Is it because you know that I am a trickster?’

She even confessed to me and showed quite a confident move.

Anyway, because of what happened recently, I had forgotten her confession.

I made an embarrassed face for a moment.

I received a confession from a woman who was obviously pretty enough to compete for first or second place in the world. Any man could not help but like it.

But there was a problem.

And soon the problem arose.

Seuuu.

I could suddenly see the face of the saint turning around.

As I said, the saintess also had the power of a 3rd awakened person. This meant that I could tell who was sitting next to me, even in front of me.

Soon the saint’s heads all turned.

And then she saw me and Lucien sitting affectionately(?).

In an instant, her face turned cold.
