Ch.181181 – Another Organization

<181 – Another Organization>

After working on my likability, I was looking for events that could help with my functional work in the remaining time until midterms when I discovered one.

<Material Raid Event>

Students from different lectures have started fighting over limited materials.

One side is Professor Weird’s <Basics and Understanding of Mana Usage> lecture that you’re attending, and the other is the <Basics and Understanding of Imperial Magic Theory> lecture.

This complicated situation involves a power struggle between a frontier professor and an imperial professor, as well as a pride battle between frontier students and imperial students. Once you step in, you won’t easily get out.

Of course, a good child who cares about friends wouldn’t be afraid to participate in the event, right?

Considering the bad relationship between the frontier and the empire, this is an essential event that appears in every playthrough!

It appeared quite late this time around, making me think it was strange that such an incident hadn’t occurred until now, but finally, the inevitable has arrived.

‘Heheh. This means it’s a main event that must appear to the player in the game story.’

Main events naturally have higher rewards than other events.

Large amounts of points, rare rewards, and even unlocking various functions to help with academy activities.

The rewards are so enormous that you’d need to clear about 10 other events to match the balance of rewards from one main event.

Even better, it leads to a chain of connected events!

“Stop it… Everyone, please don’t do this. You don’t need to fight for me!”

But I’m losing those good rewards in real-time.

“Oknodie, as a minion of the evil organization pretending to be an innocent beautiful girl, I’ll expose your misdeeds with this strike—kyaaak!”

“How dare this insolent woman try to lay hands on Oknodie? As long as we’re here, you won’t even touch a finger on Oknodie!”

Arcadia’s followers are blocking students rushing toward me with their bodies, not allowing any approach.

I need to fight to gain experience in related functions, but since the fight itself can’t even happen, there’s no opportunity to gain experience.

“Hmph, I’m here too. Mere numbers of small fry won’t work against a formally trained martial artist… Aaaah!? What are you doing, Rozini! You already compromised!”

Rozini, the owner of fiery red hair, sighed amidst the chaos.

“I didn’t want to get involved. But I can’t allow anyone to touch this child. If Arcadia’s lackeys are stepping up, an apprentice mage of the Red Magic Tower can’t just stand by and do nothing, right?”

“You don’t need to push yourself! I’m really fine!”

“See? That precious child. How unfamiliar must she be with receiving help to say such things? I can’t just let this go, if only because I feel sorry for her.”

When Rozini stepped in, even the imperial students who were attending Frontier Professor Weird’s <Basics and Understanding of Mana Usage> lecture because they had no other available slots or free periods began to join in.

This can’t be happening.

Having these delicious chunks of experience right in front of me, only to have them stolen by supporting characters and extras.

Did they really think I’d just stand still when told to?

Do they know how high my hiding experience is?

<Hiding(196)>

<Stealth(80)>

<Infiltration(65)>

As I tried to blend into the chaos to at least land a finishing blow on some of the weaklings nearby, suddenly the ground surged up and dirt rose like a massive wall.

“Don’t worry, Oknodie. My earth magic will protect you from stray attacks.”

“Sa-Sandcooker…!”

“…Hmph. Now you understand a bit about the greatness of earth magic? Remember clearly that I’m a superior mage to Rozini.”

This wretched guy.

From today, you are my enemy!

[Thanks to the students who gained courage from your appearance, you have won the fight.]

[Main event <Material Raid> completed.]

[Awarding 10,000 points as achievement bonus.]

[Likability of frontier students increases randomly between 1-10.]

[Likability of 100 students attending <Basics and Understanding of Mana Usage> lecture increases by 10.]

[Likability of students attending <Basics and Understanding of Imperial Magic Theory> lecture decreases by 10.]

[You achieved victory in the <Material Raid> event without dealing any damage.]

[Awarding 10,000 points as special reward.]

[Protection Inducement experience +20]

[Charisma experience +10]

[Fear Inducement experience +10]

[Dark Magic experience +5]

[Observation experience +5]

[Good Child experience +3]

[Perfection experience +1]

[Observation function experience has exceeded 200.]

[Specialization activated.]

[Special effect <Auto Analysis> unlocked.]

*Protection Inducement*: The owner of this function has an increased probability of being designated as a protection target, observation target, attack target, etc., by others’ designation functions.

*Charisma*: This function, possessed by the commander class, provides bonuses to communication, animal taming, organization management, and group leadership functions.

*Dark Magic*: This function affects the activation probability, duration increase, power enhancement, and additional effects of all evil magic using dark mana as a medium.

*Perfection*: When this function is mixed into complex function activation, it increases the probability of great success for that complex function.

Ugh. I needed to raise combat functions, but ended up raising all these unrelated functions instead…

“Everyone, good work…”

“Take this, Oknodie. It’s your share of the materials.”

[You have obtained lecture material <Mana Stone Powder(50g)> needed for <Basics and Understanding of Mana Usage> lecture.]

Thanks to habitually using the ‘observation’ function to look for strategy items or collectibles, I fully benefited from the observation experience 200 special effect.

All functions have these special bonuses at every 200 points, causing changes to the function through performance enhancement, condition relaxation, or specialization development.

Difficult functions usually get condition relaxation, weak basic functions get performance enhancement, and functions targeting specific content get specialization development.

‘I wanted the combat function 200, but I can’t help what I’ve already got.’

I’ve been using this function alongside the insight function I gained from the <Developing an Eye> lecture.

The function’s overpowered nature rivals that of <Hiding>.

And for good reason.

The trait <Auto Analysis> available from observation function 200.

This analysis works on people too.

†Dorothy(Human/Apprentice Forest Keeper/Prospective Adventure Department)

†Andrea(Myin/Inheritor of the First Form of Heavenly Thunder Demon Slayer/Prospective Adventure Department)

†Eddie(Fairy/Friend of Spirits/Prospective Adventure Department)

†Ppyoi(Human/Bikini Warrior/Prospective Knight Department)

†Mainichi(Human/Intelligence Agent/Administration Department)

Name, race, class, department.

Just seeing these neatly refined names shows how convenient it is.

A function that lets me pretend I know everyone’s names, even extras whose names I’ve forgotten!

‘Heheh. Now I can sweep up likability from extras too.’

Unpopular kids’ likability shoots up just by calling their names.

-Your name is Judas, right?

-You, you, you’re StrengthAllInOneHitCharacterLover Soldier!? How do you know my name!?

-Do you dislike it?

-N-no, I like it.

Hmm.

Thinking back to previous playthroughs, they definitely liked it!

But there’s one.

One name that bothers me.

A name I glimpsed while looking at Dorothy, one that shouldn’t be here.

I followed that person and tapped their shoulder.

“Hey.”

“…What?”

“Why were you spying on the students earlier?”

“Impossible… You spotted me in that chaos?”

“Of course I did.”

I’m actually wondering how they thought they wouldn’t be noticed.

“How could you not stand out in that outfit!”

A Myin hiding their identity, a mysterious fairy with invisibility, an intelligence agent with incredibly high hiding function.

Among these formidable people, the most conspicuous person was obviously the one wearing only a bikini under their school robe.

How could anyone ignore a bikini warrior appearing on campus when it’s not even summer?

* * *

Imperial Magic Professor Layve.

At the beginning of the semester, he boasted to the imperial students:

“Don’t worry. I guarantee your grades.”

Yufi, the hero’s companion and saint.

Massgakki, the Second Imperial Princess of the Central Holy Empire.

Considering their knowledge levels, he mixed in questions from outside the curriculum under the pretext of “common sense questions” that only those two could answer.

Isabelle – 19/20

Yufi – 18/20

Massgakki – 17/20

The result was the unexpected first-place acceptance of Isabelle, a commoner from the frontier whose origins were unknown.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out that Isabelle’s acceptance stemmed from the answer sheet theft committed by Professor Bronze De Estra.

“Those frontier rats. I’ve been waiting for a chance to get revenge, and finally today has come.”

“Professor. Will that idle talk be on the exam?”

“…No.”

“Then please just tell me what you want me to do. I’m really busy right now.”

Bikini Warrior Ppyoi shocked everyone by interrupting the professor’s words.

Senior teaching assistants would have been appalled by this scene, but neither the professor nor Ppyoi found fault with it.

They all knew that Ppyoi was a special student.

“I heard that this student named Isabelle, who got high grades through Professor Bronze’s scheme, is very fond of the freshman co-valedictorian Oknodie.”

“What do you want done to that child?”

“I’ve heard rumors of an evil organization that corrupts noble virgins with promising futures in the empire by making them wear cursed bikini armor that cannot be removed, turning them into bikini warriors.”

“Heh. You know quite a lot for an old man, Professor. Or perhaps because you’re an old man?”

“Shut up. Anyway, I want you to seize the opportunity to make Oknodie wear bikini armor and corrupt her into a bikini warrior. I’ll provide generous points.”

Ppyoi happily accepted the proposal.

“Great! But you need to create the opportunity!”

That was why Ppyoi was hiding among the students, spying on Oknodie.

‘That girl has too many people around her all the time.’

She was so popular that she was never seen alone for even a moment.

During the material raid between students, an earth mage even marked her exclusively and raised sand walls to protect her, so what could be done?

Just as Ppyoi was about to give up cleanly, surprisingly, Oknodie walked away alone and they ended up face to face.

“How could you not stand out in that outfit!”

“Hehe. Hey. Do you like bikini armor?”

On one side, the shortest kid on campus whose robe hem dragged on the floor.

On the other, a bikini warrior in an embarrassing outfit wearing only bikini armor under her robe.

Despite their comical appearances, this was actually an encounter between two different evil organizations that had infiltrated Gift Academy—a scholarship student from the Wiheomhae Foundation and a bikini warrior from the Bikini Warrior Corps.
