83. Spreading epidemic.

“Oh…! Holy woman!”

“The saint has arrived!”

“You look so beautiful today too!”

When the saint appeared, Michael, Udo, and Oliver immediately started an uproar.

In case anyone said she was a saintly fanatic(?), there wasn’t a single quiet day.

Especially after the saint stopped accompanying the warrior, this tendency became more severe.

Before we knew it, the saintess had distanced herself from the hero.

The warrior had already been excommunicated. Of course, it wasn’t a good idea to hang out with him.

That’s why he appeared alone like this.

However, I couldn’t help but look quite awkward.

And she seemed to know that too.

She approached me with an awkward look on her face.

“Joe, good morning. Jace.”

“Yes. Good morning.”

“Well… Can I beg you for a moment?”

Do you wear “? Ah, yes.”

When the saint received permission from me, her face brightened.

And then he sat down around me.

It wasn’t right next to me, but it didn’t seem to matter. Her face looked quite bright.

Anyway, people started whispering when they saw this.

“Are you completely hanging out with the department representative now?”

“I guess so. If that’s the case, then the group of over-representatives is pretty great, right?”

“That’s right. From the saint to Lucien, Pierre Bauman, and Julia. Is it amazing?”

Pierre and Julia were also indispensable talents. He was much more amazing than the idiots(?) of that group of dukes.

By the way, I happened to be referred to as a group with these four.

Before I knew it, I had formed a group of people following me, like a peacock.

Of course, I was mortified.

‘No, it’s different from the guy who brought his party members(?) with him from the beginning! And he’s not even a member of my party?’

I looked at Yulia, who was smiling secretly next to me.

Sigh.

She was smiling brightly and seemed to be in quite a good mood.

Perhaps, the current outpouring of attention seemed quite enjoyable.

‘Is that why you sat near me?’

It was obvious.

In any case, he had a personality that was truly incomprehensible.

It was then.

‘hmm?’

“Oh.”

Lucien and I turned our heads towards the door.

This was because a person who had no choice but to do so appeared.

Grumble.

At that moment, the classroom door opened.

And everyone became quiet.

Trudging. Trudging.

It had to be that way.

Surprisingly, it was because a hero appeared.

He had a surprisingly calm expression. He didn’t seem like the person who caused that mess at all.

Is it just the same as usual?

However, my eyes could not deceive me.

I saw his expression change slightly for a moment.

It was the moment I saw me and the saint together.

In that situation, it seems that even the world’s greatest warrior had a hard time managing his facial expressions. Although it was subtle, I could see the corners of my eyes fluttering.

Of course, he quickly looked away. It looked different than before.

‘In the past, there would have been an uproar.’

Still, he seemed to know his situation well.

Soon he walked towards the empty seat. It was a corner place with no one nearby.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t directed at the Duke’s gang. Perhaps, it seemed like they were trying to hide the alliance for the time being.

Anyway, the atmosphere in the classroom became awkward because of the hero.

It was just that everyone kept their mouths shut.

Now the students don’t even swear at heroes. I just completely ignored it.

Now, it has gone beyond cursing and has reached a point where it is completely ignored.

Currently, the image of the warrior can be seen as having fallen into the abyss. It seemed like it was especially so because I had to go to the academy again.

I turned my gaze away from the hero.

It was all self-earned. Although I planned it, he also committed the grave sin of lying about the length of the agreement.

I don’t even know what it was like to work with the devil. However, it was true that they lied about the period of the armistice agreement. And that alone was a big enough sin.

‘Because everyone was letting down their guard because of you. If the devil had invaded like this, there would have been great damage.’

Maybe that’s what the devil is aiming for.

‘Hmm, do you think it has something to do with sending Abyss members to Trier?’

Anyway, it was soon time for the lecture to begin.

I quickly checked the number of people.

This class was English class. It meant that it was a required subject for the major. Therefore, all 100 people had to attend.

but…

‘hmm? 99 people?’

There was just one person missing.

Cases like this were rare. Special and major classes recorded the highest attendance rates. This was because everyone was overflowing with enthusiasm.

With a puzzled expression, I began to sort out those who did not show up.

‘Who didn’t come? A saint, an elf princess, Pierre, Yulia, a gang of dukes, a prince, an archmage, a trio of saints…’

I quickly turned my head. At the same time, those who did not attend were identified.

And soon I noticed that I couldn’t see any familiar faces.

‘There’s no Iron Fist Dubalton, right?’

The dwarf who always went to Changgwan was nowhere to be seen.

I looked at the group of dwarves.

The total number of dwarves, which had been 3, was reduced to 2.

I spoke to them. Coincidentally, it was nearby so it was easy to talk to.

“Where is Dubalton?”

“Haha! You mean two iron fists?”

First of all, the way he spoke was the same as Dubalton. I nodded.

Then he said something unexpected.

“It looks like it hurts!”

“It hurts…?”

“Yes! It seems like it hurts a lot!”

“No, that’s not a tone of concern for a sick person…”

“Haha! There is no need to worry about heroes as strong as Dubalton! I’ll get over it on my own!”

“Okay.”

It was not common for the second awakened person to be sick. However, the virus was difficult for even the second awakener to avoid.

It felt like I probably had the flu or something.

But then, I heard something unexpected. To be exact, it came from the female dwarf next to him.

“What if it goes on like this?! Overrepresentation! Dubalton is in serious pain right now!”

“Severely sick?”

“Yes. I feel like I have a severe headache, diarrhea, and fever… Ah! He said he also had stomach and muscle pain! And I remember vomiting too!”

‘No, why are there so many symptoms?’

It was amazing that I remembered all of that.

Anyway, I traced my memories of my past life on Earth. And I was able to come up with a similar disease.

I remembered it right away because I had been caught before.

‘It’s similar to norovirus?’

To put it simply, I felt like I had food poisoning. It was similar to the symptoms I had experienced before.

I opened my mouth to tell him not to worry. I’m sure a Dubalton would be able to shake it off quickly.

But that was then.

“Turn disease!!”

“It’s a whirlwind!!”

At that moment, several students started shouting loudly.

‘Diarrhea…?’

And then he quickly started asking questions to the female dwarf.

“Didn’t Dubalton’s body color turn blue?”

Then the female dwarf looked embarrassed. It seemed like there was too much attention.

Still, she answered calmly.

However, it wasn’t a very good answer for us.

“Yes… I think so…”

Her answer caused a great stir in the classroom.

In particular, some people who asked questions got very upset.

“Oh my…!!”

“It’s a big deal!!”

“What should I do! Aren’t I moving too?”

And at this point, everyone couldn’t help but notice.

It was the same for me too.

‘If you say an epidemic… do you mean the epidemic that is currently spreading in the back alleys of Trier?’

I remember seeing it in the community. Some people used to tell stories related to this.

‘I said it was a pretty terrible disease?’

Those were all the symptoms that the female dwarf just mentioned. But the problem was that the symptoms did not get better. I just kept going like that.

Vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache, abdominal pain, and muscle pain were constant. He said the pain was so severe that it was unbearable.

I also heard that the contagiousness is quite high.

It was truly like a disease created to cause suffering to humans.

‘Oh my… isn’t it good to do this?’

I got up immediately.

Jump up.

And then he spoke quickly to the two dwarves.

“You two go to the dormitory right now!”

“Huh? Why me?”

“Me?”

“Uh. This is an order from the department head.”

Academy department representatives should not be considered the same as university department representatives. In such emergency situations, he also had the authority to issue orders.

Fortunately, they both listened to me.

Not only was I overrepresented, but it was also because my influence was great.

“Ah, okay.”

“Yes. Can I just stay inside?”

“Uh. Never meet anyone.”

“I understand.”

I watched the two of them leave the classroom.

And as soon as the two of them left, they immediately told everyone.

“First of all, everyone, please do not leave the classroom. I’ll meet the professor and talk about it.”

“Ah, okay.”

“Well, it won’t spread to us, right?”

Everyone was quite anxious. I didn’t know because I was busy with the hero, but it seemed like everyone was quite afraid of the plague.

“No, not to that extent.”

Although it was highly contagious, there were degrees.

If it had been to the extent of being briefly in the same room as a person who was not yet a patient, the entire Trier would have already been infected.

After reassuring everyone, I prepared to leave.

But then, the door opened and an unfamiliar student appeared.

Grumble.

“Um… Is there any overrepresentation?”

“Hmm?”

It was a first-year girl, and she was looking for me right away.

I raised my hand with a puzzled face.

“Me?”

“Ah, thank goodness. The dean is looking for you. Go straight to the dean’s office.”

Suddenly, the dean was looking for me. It was a situation I didn’t quite understand.

But I nodded quickly.

“Okay. I’ll go right away.”

It worked out better.

It was much better to meet and talk directly with the dean rather than with the professor.

“Then, I’ll come back.”

“Yes. Come back!”

“Take care!”

“You have to come quickly!”

I left the classroom while being greeted by everyone.

And quickly headed to the dean’s office.

‘Does this seem like a bigger problem than I thought?’

For some reason, I didn’t feel like it would be easy.

After solving the hero problem, another problem was looking for me.

‘Is it because I had a strange dream for no reason? ‘I’m having bad luck today.’

It was a dream where someone was giving me orders, but it wasn’t a very pleasant dream.

By the way, there was no need to worry about catching the flu virus. So did the people around me.

‘Luckily I have antibiotics.’

There was also one box of that. This was enough.

of course…

‘Hmm, it’s a bit of a waste to spend it on Dubalton.’

Iron Fist Dubalton will overcome well. It was clear. He wasn’t the second awakener for nothing.

So I ignored Dubalton and headed to the dean’s office.
