100. One article tells you how to attack both the hero and the duke.

I wrote quickly and in nice handwriting.

‘Okay, let’s play peacock together.’

If an attack was made with this information, the duke was bound to suffer as well.

But it didn’t matter.

No, it was actually good.

‘No one knows the trickster’s identity anyway.’

I released the information I had saved to the community.

-(Trickster): Does everyone know that? I also heard this recently…

-(Strongest Genius): Oooh! What great information did you bring again…!!

-(Mana is my friend): Anyway, he never appears quietly.

-(Noble): Hmm, that appearance doesn’t change.

Everyone reacted with anticipation to my appearance. Because every time I wrote something like this, the community went into an uproar.

-(Trickster): It happened when a general meeting of professors was held regarding the expulsion of a former warrior. At that time, everyone remembers that the expulsion was overturned when the hero donated 300,000 gold, right?

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): How could I forget that!

-(Strongest Genius): Ha!! It was the most disgusting news I’ve ever heard!

-(Dongnaeil): Is there anyone who forgets that?

-(Noble): Why are you suddenly bringing that up?

Everyone immediately focused on my story. I put a smile on my face when I saw that.

As expected, attacking the hero was the most fun.

I started writing quickly.

-(Trickster): Back then, everyone just cursed at the professors. But there is a hidden secret here.

-(Strongest Genius): Huh! no way…!

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): Could it be that the hero bribed the professors one by one?!

-(Bermin Hipster): What are you all talking about?! There’s no way I could do that!

It was like that.

I tried to reveal the alliance between the hero and the duke.

However, simply revealing the alliance had a weak effect. So I did what I had been saving up for.

‘Just don’t reveal it. Just to spice things up a bit.’

Actually, I was planning on hitting a little too much.

Surely it’s because I finished something big?

Strangely, my head started spinning.

I attacked the duke and the hero first.

-(Trickster): At that time, only the noble professors were against expulsion.

-(Noble): What do you think?

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): What do you mean? no way?!

-(Strongest Genius): Does this mean that Duke Philip has stepped forward?

After all, it was Pierre. It definitely showed growth compared to before.

I quickly replied to his post.

-(Trickster): Yes, it couldn’t have happened otherwise. And of course, there’s no way they would have done that for free.

-(Strongest Genius): If it’s not free…?

-(Trickster): They say the hero offered a considerable amount of bribe. It is said that the warrior paid a bribe of about 100,000 gold to the duke, and thanks to that, he was able to avoid being expelled.

-(Bermin Hipster): It’s all a conspiracy!! Absolutely not!

Immediately the warrior protested.

But his words didn’t work.

The influence on the community between the hero and I was different.

Soon most people started to believe me.

-(Princess Princess): I can’t believe something like that happened!! I can’t stand it!

-(Pea): Well, there’s no way the professors would have opposed it just because of the money.

-(Big deal): It was definitely strange. Now I understand a little bit.

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): Even more than that, the Duke is really disappointing, isn’t he?

-(Raven’s Stone Fist): Haha! The duke was sneaky from the beginning! I knew it!

If the hero and the duke just made an agreement, they couldn’t have done much damage.

However, if the hero avoided expulsion by paying a bribe, the story would be different.

‘You’ll find out that the apology he just made was all a lie.’

He pretended to everyone that he donated 300,000 gold with a sincere heart, but behind his back, he actually used a bribe separately.

No one will believe anything such a person says.

Moreover, it was inevitable that even the duke would suffer a huge blow.

In fact, there were already quite a few people who doubted the agreement between the duke and the hero.

Representative examples would be the professors who were in the conference room at the time.

Suddenly, the entire noble faction began to defend the hero. Anyone could see that the higher-ups had moved.

But everyone stayed quiet because they didn’t know why the duke came forward. There was a possibility that the duke really trusted the hero and helped him.

But what if the duke took a bribe from the hero?

If you do this, the story will be completely different. This was because it was an unfair act no matter who saw it.

Perhaps, it will also be a huge blow to the duke.

‘The bribe tag will follow you for the rest of your life. This is quite a bit of bad news for politicians.’

I smiled in satisfaction.

I was able to aim for Iltypi(?) with just the information I had saved. It was quite a profitable business.

‘And you don’t even know my identity. So it will be more confusing.’

If I had revealed this information right away, they might have found out that I was a trickster.

At that time, the only people in the conference room were the dean, the professor, the warrior, and me. A clever Duke might have suspected that I was a trickster.

But now a lot of time has passed. After this point, it was inevitable that some professors would open their mouths.

‘At some point, the rumor would spread. ‘I used it well before that.’

Of course, the duke knew this well. You probably have no idea that I am a trickster.

In any case, this news did not stay only in the study gallery.

There were also people who each time copied my writing and introduced it to their gallery.

But I caused a big scandal. It was also a scandal between a famous noble leader and a warrior.

The community, which was already struggling, started to go crazy.

I quickly looked at the rest of the magic paper.

I also looked at other galleries.

-(Breaking News Man): Breaking News!! The study gallery is going crazy right now!! It is said that the hero avoided expulsion by bribing the duke!! Everyone, if you have a study gallery paper, check it out!

-(Aachen Daily): This is truly shocking news! Now, surprising news has arrived. It’s a bribery scandal between a hero and a duke!

-(Academy Daily): Breaking news! A bribery scandal between a warrior and a duke has erupted! This is a case where a warrior bribed a duke to influence aristocratic professors…

Soon, people who acted like reporters began to appear in the community. This seemed to be an inevitable social trend.

And they quickly spread this news to other galleries.

Thanks to this, everyone became aware of this incident in less than an hour.

I looked at that with satisfaction.

It worked better than I thought. It seemed like it was an attack that was an appropriate mix of truth and lies.

‘It’s true that the hero and the duke actually made an agreement. Plus, I just added a little bit of seasoning.’

Anyway, I had a great effect with just a little bit of writing.

Did they say the pen is mightier than the sword?

Once again, it felt like that was right.

Of course, the hero denied it until the end.

-(Bermin Hipster): No! I didn’t give you a bribe or anything!!

It was correct that it wasn’t accurate. This was because no actual bribe was given.

But no one believed what he said.

-(Strongest Genius): Yes. The guy who escaped expulsion through bribery.

-(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): I’m really disappointed until the end.

-(Manana is my friend): It’s getting more and more disappointing. Stop talking.

People of this era still had a somewhat pure(?) side.

To be precise, they tended to be easily incited by false information. This was because, unlike modern times, there was no immunity to this.

To put it simply, it could be said that he was easily swayed by the words of influential people.

And I had more influence than anyone else.

‘Perhaps it has greater power than the three public broadcasters combined?’

That’s why it looked more like this.

Of course, it wasn’t good to do this often.

There was a way to become resistant to anything. If you use this too often, it is bound to wear out.

But it was okay to use it like this occasionally.

‘The duke must have been quite embarrassed, right?’

I also acknowledged that the duke was smart. I was quite embarrassed when they suddenly attacked me using an impersonator.

‘That was also an attack that impersonated the prince and made a fool of his image.’

It could be said that it was a fairly elaborately designed attack.

However, the duke had a feeling of looking down on the community.

Actually, if I were a duke, I would have tried to come up with a named nickname somehow. It’s also a nickname equivalent to Trickster.

But does this mean that the limitations of medieval people are inevitable?

He underestimated the power of community. And I was able to see the rewards.

Perhaps, if he had just a nickname like Strongest Genius, it would have been a bit of a defense.

‘Well, if you don’t know, you’ll have to suffer.’

In a way, it was like revenge for the impersonator incident.

Although I stayed quiet at the time because I benefited from it, it was also true that it was quite a pain.

I felt quite refreshed.

It was to poison both the warrior and the duke. It was even weirder when I was in a bad mood.

‘As expected, the community is the best.’

Thinking about it again, I think we did a great job creating a community.

Of course, not from the perspective of the hero and the duke.

It won’t be much either.

***

A neat, four-room dormitory.

Currently, there was a man there with a very stern expression.

It was Duke Philip, known as the head of the aristocratic faction.

He was in a pretty bad mood right now.

And it was clearly visible on his face. It was a sight that was very difficult to see normally. The other three roommates looked astonished at the sight.

Of course, even if they were roommates, they were just his subordinates. That’s why I became more restless.

“How dare you… insult me?”

He continued to look at the magic paper.

Currently, he and the warrior’s curses are coming up quickly on the magic paper.

-(Combat Gentleman): Tsk tsk, you have a lot of money, but you take bribes from warriors? It’s really pathetic.

-(Marquis): The original person adds. And the duke is young. The head of the noble faction was also inherited from my father.

-(I hate professors): After all, there is nothing you can do about having a golden spoon.

-(Dog and Pig Gulp): I heard it was pretty amazing, but I guess it’s all made up?

These were people who normally wouldn’t even look at him. However, using the anonymous space as a weapon, they were swearing at him.

Of course, this was his first time experiencing this phenomenon. That made me even more angry.

He gave orders to his subordinates in informal language. I just couldn’t bear it.

“Find out the identity of the trickster right now!”
