Mesugaki Tank Enters the Academy –
157

The moment I saw the quest
issued by that trash bastard, I realised that when you’re too angry,
you can’t think of anything to say.

What?

Whaaaat?

The reason I’m unpopular?!

You bastard!

You son of a bitch!

Do you even have to ask?!

If only I didn’t have that
[Mesugaki] Skill, I could have recovered my reputation!

All the countless mistakes
Lucy made in the past could have been dismissed as youthful
indiscretions!

Think about my qualifications!
I have the ability to effortlessly take first place in both academics
and martial arts at the Academy.

I possess an extraordinary
charm that even makes that perverted Fox stalk me.

Additionally, I have the
background of being the daughter of a Count’s family that wields
significant influence across the Continent!

If my name wasn’t Lucy, I
would already be the Academy’s idol by now!

In fact, even with the name
Lucy, if it weren’t for the [Mesugaki] Skill, I could still be
redeemed!

Considering the influence of
the people around me right now!

Arthur, the Third Prince of
the Soladin Kingdom and a major figure in the first year of the
Academy, supports me, right?

On top of that, I’m friends
with Joy, who is a central figure among several noble ladies.

I’m also close with Phoebe,
who is immensely popular with both commoners and noble clerics at the
Academy.

In a situation where these
people support me, how do you think it would look if I hinted that I
was repenting for my past mistakes?

Of course, there will still be
people who dislike me, but many would think, “Oh, Lady Allen has
changed.”

Moreover, given my abilities,
even if they had a bad opinion of me, they might still pretend to be
friendly!

But all these advantages are
blocked by the wall called the [Mesugaki] Skill!

It’s impossible to redeem
myself because of that trashy, sloppy, brainless skill that prevents
me from speaking without including some insult!

The reason you’re unpopular?!

You’re poking fun at me even
though you know the reason?!

You’re just upset because I
compared you to that Petty Evil God and now you’re taking it out on
me, right?!

If you know so well why I’m
unpopular, then why don’t you just get rid of this [Mesugaki] Skill,
you sloppy bastard!

I was so angry that I forgot
Lady Baines was crying in front of me and Karl was trying to comfort
her. I took a deep breath.

Calm down.

This isn’t the first time
that sloppy bastard has mocked me with the name of the quest. Why am
I getting so worked up already?

Besides, even though he often
crushes my spirits, he gives proper rewards.

Let’s be angry after reading
the quest details.

Yeah. That’s the right thing
to do.

[Why is everyone at the
Academy hating you?]

As soon as I read the first
sentence, my eyes filled with rage, but I suppressed my anger with
superhuman patience and read on.

[You must not look for the
reason elsewhere! Let’s find the reason within yourself!]

However, when I read the next
sentence, I couldn’t hold back anymore and made a grinding noise
with my teeth.

You’re definitely mocking me.

You’re telling me not to blame
others but to think about how I can improve myself.

You sloppy, arrogant bastard!

Do you think I enjoy acting
like a Mesugaki?!

It’s all because of this damn
skill! You son of a bitch! If he’s reacting this directly, it means
he can tolerate being insulted but can’t stand being compared to the
Petty Evil God, right?!

Okay! Got it!

That’s your trigger button,
huh?! I’ll use it against you whenever I need to from now on!

Honestly, what kind of god do
you think you are?

You were nothing but a
background character when Soul Academy was still a game!

“Miss?”

I snapped out of my thoughts
of how to piss off Armadi when I heard Karl’s voice.

He was looking at me with a
concerned expression.

“Is there a problem?”

‘Huh?’

“Sloppy. What nonsense are
you talking about?”

“Your expression looked very
troubled.”

Could he see how heated I was?

I thought the [Mesugaki] Skill
would cover it up, but it seems my anger towards Armadi was too
strong.

Seeing Lady Baines, who had
stopped crying and was now watching me anxiously, calmed me down.

Ahem.
My expression must’ve been really fierce if she, who was just crying,
was now looking concerned.

After telling Karl to take
Lady Baines and leave, I remained alone and sat on a nearby chair to
read the remaining quest details.

[First, let’s find out why
people began hating you!]

[Investigate Lucy’s past!]

[Reward: ???]

[Failure: LOL Bunny lol]

For a quest made just to
irritate me, the content seemed surprisingly reasonable.

So, it’s about investigating
the sins of the past and figuring out a way to atone for them, huh?
It’s indeed constructive advice. Plus, it even offers a proper
reward, so it’s not bad.

But, what’s with the bunny?
And what’s with the LOLs in between?

Oh no, don’t tell me that
bunny isn’t what I’m thinking of, is it?

It can’t be referring to that
thing I shoved into my inventory after the field trip, never to be
seen again, right?

Why can’t you just say no to
reassure me?

Hurry up and say it’s not
that!

Prove that you’re not some
sloppy, perverted god who enjoys seeing your apostle humiliated in a
bunny girl outfit!

Though I screamed that, deep
down, I knew the truth all too well.

If it’s that sloppy god, he’d
definitely laugh out loud while seeing me squirm in humiliation
wearing a bunny girl outfit.

So the penalty for failure is
probably making me wear that bunny girl outfit again.

But in what situation would I
end up wearing a bunny girl outfit?

If it’s just wearing it at
home and having Fox drool over me, I can handle that.

But would that really be
enough to satisfy that sloppy, perverted, pedo, sadistic god?

If it comes down to it, I
might even have to attend the Academy in a bunny girl outfit…

Reaching that thought, I shook
my head to dispel the worst-case scenario and determined to complete
this quest no matter what.

The first place I visited,
burdened with the serious duty of investigating my past sins, was
Alsatine’s Tavern.

After considering various
options, it seemed like he was the only one who could objectively
evaluate me.

People like Karl and those
around me would undoubtedly try not to say bad things to avoid
offending me.

On the other hand, if I asked
someone who hated me like Lady Baines, I would certainly get a flurry
of emotionally charged insults.

So, I ended up coming to
Alsatine’s Tavern. Of course, Alsatine isn’t entirely neutral, but
since his business is selling information, he can probably give an
objective opinion.

“Are you asking me to
investigate the various things you’ve done in the past?”

When I posed the question to
Alsatine, he looked noticeably bewildered.

It seems that now that we’ve
gotten closer, he’s starting to express his feelings more
straightforwardly.

‘Yes, that’s right.’

“So? Do you have a problem
with that?”

“No, it’s just that a person
usually knows their own affairs the best.”

Right. Generally, it’s true
that someone knows their own actions best.

But I’m not actually Lucy.

I’m just a poor human who
possessed Lucy’s body because of some mysterious bastard who created
the Mesugaki Mod!

So, how am I supposed to know
anything about Lucy?

Of course, if I tried to
explain all of this to Alsatine, he would surely think I’m crazy,
so I prepared a proper excuse.

‘Why should I remember?’

“Why should I remember the
deeds of those sloppy trash sidekicks? They were nothing but trash,
so I treated them accordingly!”

Typical delinquent behaviour.
They don’t remember what they’ve done because there’s no reason to
waste brain capacity on such things.

Alsatine, who had been
listening, nodded with a peculiar expression.

“You do have a point.”

I had expected him to agree,
but seeing Alsatine accept it so easily left me with mixed feelings.

From his perspective, it means
it isn’t strange for me to say such things.

‘Anyway, can you do it?’

“You can handle this, even
though you’re an idiot below average intelligence, right?”

“Yes. Actually, there’s no
need to investigate. I already know everything.”

Alsatine asked me to wait for
a moment, left the room, then returned with a few documents.

“These are the records of
the incidents involving Lady Allen. As you read through them, you may
start remembering things.”

I was quite curious why he had
already prepared these documents in advance, but since it saved me
the trouble, I decided to let it go this time.

Accepting the documents from
Alsatine, I directed my attention to them.

What kind of serious trouble
had Lucy caused?

[Incident of Insulting the
King]

The moment I read the first
sentence, my head started to spin. Pressing down on my temples, I
turned to Alsatine and asked, ‘Excuse me…’

“Hey, Information Seller. Is
everything written here true?”

“How could I possibly lie to
you, my Lady?”

Right. As the only person who
knows the whereabouts of your master, it’s not like you could lie.

So, these are the deeds Lucy
committed in the past?

[When the king came to see
Benedict Allen’s daughter, she insulted him, calling him a pig-like
old man. She complained of a livestock smell making her feel bad,
causing widespread shock. Benedict Allen managed to defuse the
situation, but it was officially treated as though the incident never
happened.]

Oh. Damn it. Armadi. What on
earth is this? Who on earth would call the king of a country a pig to
his face!

To think that this was just a
summary, it was likely that Lucy did something even worse.

No wonder she’s ostracised
in high society, what an insane woman!

My heart sank after reading
the first incident, but there were still numerous others below it.

I’m scared. I’m so scared
to read this.

But if I don’t read it all,
I won’t be able to complete the quest, and I’ll have to wear a
bunny girl costume.

There’s no choice. Being
afraid won’t make what’s already happened go away.

After taking a deep breath to
steady my resolve, I read through the various incidents listed below.

[Incident of Damaging the
Church of Armadi Statues]

[Incident of Insulting the
Duke of Jer’s Son]

[Incident of Causing Chaos at
the Nig Auction House]

[Incident of Causing Chaos at
the Azelra Casino]

…Reading through these
numerous incidents, I was convinced.

Lucy really was insane.

A true anger management issue,
always picking fights with anyone in sight.

Now I understand why the
academy students retreated like they’d seen a cockroach the moment
I appeared.

This kind of crazy person is
best avoided, even eye contact isn’t worth it.

I would have done the same.

With all these incidents, it
doesn’t matter how high her charm stats are.

Is it even possible to deal
with this?

Is it possible to overturn all
this and recover her reputation?

As the word impossible started
to creep its way into my mind, I continued reading and stumbled upon
yet another shocking incident.

[Incident of Insulting the
First Prince]

[During a public event, she
called the First Prince a Hikikomori Prince. Those around who were
startled by her language tried to stop Lucy Allen, but she didn’t
back down. The situation was only resolved when Benedict Allen
urgently intervened.]

What the hell. Damn it.

She’s even accumulated bad
karma with the kingdom’s final boss now?
