48. A warrior who started to be criticized in all communities.

The entire academy was in an uproar.

This was because something unbelievable happened even after hearing it.

Supplies suddenly ran out from the portal.

This alone was quite surprising.

However, it is said that the elixir came from there. And then the King of Sal, known as the strongest assassin, appeared and stole that elixir.

Soon, several Third Awakenings came out to chase King Sal. There were also warriors and saints there.

However, it is said that even though they all came forward, they failed to catch King Sal.

Additionally, in the aftermath of the battle, most of the slums disappeared.

It was truly an amazing story.

That’s why the academy is in an uproar.

Naturally, the community was also in an uproar.

-(Truckster): I got goosebumps. Doesn’t that mean King Sal has been hiding in the academy the whole time?

-(Choi Kang Dun-jae): I’m more surprised that only the elixir was stolen.

-(Academy’s Third Beauty): I heard the entire kingdom was wanted for stealing the elixir?

-(Truckster): My father has ties to the royal family? I heard that His Majesty was angry.

-(Academy’s Third Beauty): Well, if there were that many elixirs, the Mercenary King would have presented them to His Majesty.

I nodded, looking at the community.

I’m not sure if my wife’s father actually has ties to the royal family. But it was true that the King of Aachen was angry.

I was able to hear it directly from the dean.

‘The king of Aachen is also a person. When it comes to elixir, I’m bound to crave it.’

Of course, the fake elixir evaporated into thin air. It was a little different from the actual known story.

The known story is that King Sal ran away with it.

But I didn’t believe that story.

I arrived at the scene a little later than others.

At that moment, it was time for the hero to attack King Sal with the thread of mana.

And at that time, I could feel the existence of the King of Sal disappearing.

It wasn’t dead. It didn’t feel like that.

It seemed like he probably used a special ability.

‘The special ability to run away without a trace…’

It was the moment when King Sal’s special ability, which had been unknown until now, was revealed.

Anyway, the warrior claimed that King Sal ran away with the elixir. That’s why people currently believe that King Sal has the elixir.

But I thought differently.

‘There was definitely a faint smell of Vita 800 in the air.’

I couldn’t avoid the feeling that my senses had improved thanks to the medicinal effects of Vita 800. I could definitely feel the sweet scent of Vita 800.

I could feel it even more clearly after just drinking it.

Of course, it would have been difficult to feel if King Sal had run away with the Vita 800. The scent was felt because the Vita 800 dispersed into the air.

Moreover, I could see that the warrior’s expression was quite bad.

Of course, since I missed King Sal, it had to be bad.

But I felt something different.

Should I say it looks more like an expression of embarrassment than anger?

I endured it for a long time while being overlooked by the warrior party. It wasn’t that difficult for me to distinguish the warrior’s expression.

And looking at the warrior’s appearance, I was able to guess one thing.

‘What if the hero disassembled the elixir?’

If the elixir had been disassembled by the warrior’s skill, it would have made that kind of expression.

No matter how much of a warrior he was, the elixir had that much value.

‘It’s enough to make His Majesty angry. Probably, the hero also knew his mistake.’

Plus the faint scent of Vita 800.

Although it is just a guess, there is a fairly high probability that the hero disassembled the Vita 800.

However, unfortunately, this was just my guess. There was no accurate evidence. So I couldn’t attack the hero with this right away.

Oh, and the hero’s disassembly of the slums didn’t attract any attention.

From the nobles’ point of view, all they did was clear out the city’s vagabonds. Rather, the majority of people praised him for doing a good job.

Even though he killed thousands of people, he was still praised. This was truly possible because it was the Middle Ages.

In any case, the mistake was made by the warrior, and he received no blame.

Instead, I was being praised for doing a good job.

It was a truly unreasonable situation.

But I held on tight. Originally, the community would have been mobilized right away.

But now was not the time.

‘Now is not the right time. Everyone is only talking about King Sal and Elixir.’

It wasn’t right to suddenly talk about heroes. There is a thing called timing.

I waited and timed it. I couldn’t just talk about Salwang forever. Originally, the community thing would change periodically.

About three days passed like that.

Before we knew it, the controversy over King Sal had cooled down. They kept saying the same thing, so there was nothing to talk about.

And around that time, a strange rumor began to circulate in the community.

As expected, the leader, the strongest genius, started the battle.

-(Strongest Genius): Does everyone know that? That the community might disappear?

Pierre, the strongest genius, was a fairly well-known named user. After all, he was the first person to have a conversation with the famous pioneer.

And such a famous name visited a small and medium-sized gallery(?).

Of course there was an uproar.

-(Trick Trickster): Awesome! Are you really the strongest genius?

-(My breasts are really big): Wow! I love you, brother!

-(I hate English professors): Crazy! The strongest genius who was only in the study gallery is coming here?

I thought some celebrity was visiting. Named users received great treatment in the community.

However, the strongest genius was not as flattered as usual. They just conveyed information quickly. It was because there was a lot of work to do.

-(Strongest Genius): Someone is impersonating the prince right now. The community might disappear because of that. If the impersonator impersonates all other users, it’s over.

-(My breasts are huge): Wow! Really?!

-(I hate English professors): Ah! I’ve heard of it! I thought it was just a minor problem, but it turns out it wasn’t.

-(Chest VS Butt): That’s right. Imagine pretending to be a pioneer. It must be really scary.

-(Strongest Genius): Anyway, Galju is also looking at the current incident very seriously. So everyone, please try to keep the gallery from disappearing.

Surprisingly, the strongest genius did not bring up the story of the hero. It was different from the study gallery.

And there was a reason for this.

‘The hero’s image is not that bad in other galleries yet. So you have to approach with caution.’

Since it was a study gallery, I was able to criticize the warrior as much as I wanted. In other galleries, it wasn’t even possible.

It was a hero who achieved the great feat of a truce by fighting against the Demon King who invaded the world. I couldn’t swear easily.

So the strongest genius was just conveying information.

‘You’re doing as well as I told you to.’

Of course, the strongest genius did not make this decision himself.

I was worried that Pierre might run wild, so I coached him in advance.

And he showed that he followed my words well. It was quite extraordinary.

‘Strangely enough, you listen to me well, don’t you?’

I think saving him from the hero last time was really important. They treated me as if they were the head of the Iljinhoe.

If you do what I ask you to do, you will inevitably find out about my nickname. Nevertheless, Pierre diligently did what I told him to do.

I didn’t say I was special for no reason.

Anyway, Pierre continued to wander around the gallery and spread these stories.

Perhaps because it was spread by a named user, the rumor spread very quickly.

-(Wang Juaji): Could it be that the real community is disappearing?

-(I am a named user): Hey, there is Galjoo.

-(Wang Juaji): Galju also said there is no way now.

-(Noble): If my gallery disappears, I will cause a riot. My rare nickname is disappearing!

Soon many people began to feel an immediate threat to the survival of their community.

Naturally, stories related to this also spread. The atmosphere I wanted was created.

In particular, people began to become anxious to find the culprit.

Naturally, all kinds of people’s names came up. But it was all quickly buried.

However, at this time, the writing of the strongest genius, who only conveyed objective information, began to change.

-(Strongest Genius): You guys know what? If the gallery disappears, it is the warrior who will benefit the most. ah! Just so you know.

He threw a light suspicion to the community.

He did not directly say that the hero was the culprit.

But the impact he left behind was enormous.

-(Noble): Ah! Is that so? I heard that the warrior gets the most criticism in the study gallery!

-(White Bread): Wow! Surely the hero is not the culprit?

-(Academy Dean): It certainly seems like the warrior would be the happiest if the gallery disappears.

Soon people started talking about the warrior. This was the power of named users.

‘I knew it would end up like this.’

And this is where the characteristics of the community came into play.

If you try the community even a little, you will understand. Evidence wasn’t that important to them.

All you needed was plausible circumstances.

Gradually, people began to point out the warrior as the culprit. As they were just playing around, they started to accuse the warrior of being the culprit.

Thanks to this, the warrior’s reputation soon began to decline.

The number of people who believed that the hero was the culprit began to increase rapidly. This was the case in almost all galleries.

Of course, I wasn’t openly swearing at the hero. No matter what, I couldn’t directly curse at the world’s hero.

But I was able to complain.

-(Choi Kang Dun-jae): No matter how much you are criticized in the study gallery… isn’t it too much to try to get rid of it altogether?

-(Academy’s Fourth Beauty): That’s right! This is too much! Even if it’s just me, I’m still a Rarenik!

-(Academy’s Tenth Beauty): Wow, fourth! I’m really jealous!!

-(Truckster): I am the real Rarenik. Oh, and there’s also a rumor that the hero secretly took the elixir.

-(Ravens Doll Jersey): Really? Didn’t King Sal run away with it?!

-(Choi Kang Dun-jae): I was really disappointed in the warrior this time. I thought he was a just person, but he wasn’t.

Many users expressed their dissatisfaction with the hero.

Almost all students attending the academy were like that. Even the professor expressed his dissatisfaction.

Naturally, the warrior had no choice but to be under tremendous pressure.

That was the case just by looking at the study gallery.

-(Bermin Hipster): No!! Why would a hero do such a thing!! This is a real conspiracy!

-(Maximilian): A worthless bastard. Just keep making excuses like that.

-(Real Maximillian): Hey! Fake guy! Do you want to search? Just try to get caught!

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): Haha…

First of all, the warrior fiercely defended himself.

He also knows the current situation. No matter how humble he was, all the academy students were pouring out their complaints against him.

Even a warrior known for his thick face would have a hard time withstanding this.

Maybe that’s why he stayed in the community and continued to advocate. Now, people have gone beyond just Dragon Qui and called him Dragon Qui Captain.

‘Is this the level of addiction to communication?’

Anyway, the community atmosphere went as I planned.

‘After all, newbies(?) can’t help it.’

Of course, it was a very good situation for me. It was clear that the warrior’s reputation was declining.

But right now, I haven’t been able to enjoy that fun situation.

This was because the most important problem had not been solved.

Just now, the fake prince was writing. And I just had to watch it.

It was like that.

I still hadn’t caught the impersonator.

Although it was successful in lowering the warrior’s reputation, the community was in a dangerous situation.

It was difficult to enjoy it to the fullest.

‘Ha, what kind of guy is this?’

I don’t know who he was, but he was a very careful guy.

That was when I was sitting in the classroom and sighing.

“Hmm, over there!”

Someone spoke to me.
