There is one week left until the midterm exam. The sound of classes disappearing from many of the academy’s classrooms.

Professors who know Soul Academy’s murderous test range are considerate of their students and give them some leeway. Of course, some professors do their jobs regardless of whether students scream or not, but most professors pay attention to what their students think.

In any case, the students who enter the academy are those who will hold considerable power in the future.

Originally, I would have been locked in Joy’s room studying during this period, half of my own choice.

Joy always invested all her time in me even when I had classes, so there was no way she would leave me alone when there were no classes.

Not long ago, I had the feeling that my intelligence might be improving, so I was willing to throw myself into study hell.

But now things have changed. Luca: How could I study when it became clear that this troublemaker was going to risk my future and life to do the damn thing?

‘Yes. Anyway, we have Faybe.’

Faby’s right to speak is considerable. Especially in areas related to evil spirits, he would be higher than the king of a country.

If she were to say that something was going on inside the academy, even if it was a faction of the first or second queens, they would have no choice but to listen to it, and if that happened, Luca’s plan would be greatly distorted.

‘Right. I found out too late.’

But I don’t think it will collapse in vain. There are things that Fabi and I have done, and there’s no way Luca wouldn’t take that into consideration.

You might not know it before the plan got underway, but now that it has progressed to a certain extent, Luca will start struggling the moment the situation becomes ambiguous.

The current reality is that even the dean of the academy cannot do anything of his own accord.

Although it is possible to use Payby or my connections to disrupt the plan, it is absolutely impossible to make a move so radical that it destroys the plan itself.

shit. I want to bring in Benedick, my decisive weapon. If Benedick came in with the knights, we would be able to crush the hordes of evil spirits!

But since Benedick said he was going to talk to a relative of the Arlen family, I haven’t been able to contact him!

Until last year, the person who contacted me once a day is now in a situation where I may or may not contact them once a week!

Looking at the slightly tired look on that monster-like Benedick’s face the other day, it was clear that talking to the collateral of the Arn territory was not easy.

…Still, if it were Benedick, if I really desperately asked for help, he would drop everything he was doing and come.

Because he is that kind of person. Because he is a human being who would do anything for his daughter.

Knowing that, I couldn’t put any more pressure on Benedick.

It’s true that it’s easier to have Benedick, but it’s not like you can’t proceed with work just because you don’t have Benedick.

It’s a shame that we can’t see Luca’s devastated face after being smashed by a monster, but that’s about it.

‘I want to let the other person do whatever he wants.’

Now, even if I just move, no big change will happen.

So, rather than provoking the other person, it is better to let the other person proceed with his or her plan.

There is one week left until the midterm exam. Even if Luca spends an extra week, there won’t be any dramatic changes. The week given to me is completely different.

‘First of all, let’s say something to the people around us. After that, you have to move around like crazy.’

“So, I’m done with playing with idiots.”

After hearing Lucy’s story, Joey felt his thoughts stop for a moment.

Professor Luca is trying to work with a Void follower? The Luca who has achieved so much at the Academy over the past few years?

“Hmm. That guy.”

However, Arthur, who was next to Joey, looked calm.

“Poor prince. What do you know about that dirty pervert?”

“An accident that happened when I made a bet with you last year. I thought it had something to do with that guy Luca.”

Lucy’s eyes widened slightly when she heard Arthur say that there were some suspicious circumstances, but nothing happened after that, so she didn’t take a deeper look.

“It’s amazing. I thought the poor prince was just being stupid.”

“It’s true that I was just fooled. The reason I didn’t go one step further was because I didn’t want to bother the beehive.”

Arthur let out a self-deprecating lament, wondering what he, who was so close to being an illegitimate child, could do, then leaned back and crossed his arms.

“In the end, what you’re saying is that we should prepare for what you’re trying to tell us, but don’t make the first move.”

“Hehe. As expected of a clumsy prince, you are quick to understand.”

Lucy’s laughter makes other people’s eyes turn subtle.

Are you throwing yourself into danger alone again?

Are we just objects to be protected?

Can’t they trust themselves?

Everyone thinks that way, but they don’t say it out loud.

I suppressed my worries in my mind, fearing that these complaints would be a burden to Lucy.

“Alone again?”

Frey’s voice burst out in the sudden silence.

“Deadly.”

Others reprimanded Frey for his seemingly inconsiderate behavior, but Frey didn’t care about that at all.

“Do something fun by yourself.”

“Stupid prosecutor. Because I’m going to suffer for you, the idiot, right?”

“Go together. I want to be next to Lucy.”

“Hmm. what. It doesn’t matter.”

“It doesn’t matter!?”

“It doesn’t matter?!”

“Does it matter!?”

Everyone uttered a word in surprise at Lucy’s unexpected words, but when they saw Lucy’s glaring eyes, they cleared their throats and took a step back.

Lucy, who was looking at him, giggled with her mouth half covered with her palm, and then turned her gaze towards Frey again.

“The funniest part is probably this one, right? This shabby, sloppy academy is full of idiots who believe in the void.”

Those gathered here understood what Lucy was trying to say.

If I truly cared for them like babies in a stroller, I would have taken them with me instead of leaving them alone.

Because I trust them, I am leaving them in this place where I am not confident.

“If you’re so scared of the idiot prosecutor that you want to run away and scream, I’ll take you with me. What should I do?”

“…Mmm. okay. I want to stay here.”

When Frey stepped back, hiding his regret, Lucy smiled cutely, like an obedient puppy, and left.

Those left behind looked at the closed door and had different thoughts.

“For now, I will give advice to Brother Cecil. Even if it doesn’t go into detail, we need to prepare for your brother’s forces to move.”

After Arthur said what he was thinking, Joey continued speaking as if he had been waiting.

“Then I will tell the ladies to be careful. Since it happened during the last kidnapping incident, it won’t seem too strange.”

“Then, I will tell the church that I don’t know what will happen. Everyone is on edge because of what happened at the beginning of the semester, so I think there will be a quick response when something happens.”

“Saint. This may be rude, but I didn’t tell the story to all the priests.”

“Don’t worry. I will only tell this to people I trust.”

Arthur still seemed worried, but Faby smiled softly despite his eyes.

If it had been Fabi in the past, she might have been displeased with me, but not now.

As she was able to see with her own eyes that not everyone has warmth just because they are under the Lord, she knew that Arthur’s worries were not entirely wrong.

That’s why I was able to nod my head with confidence.

Because Fabi could see people with the warmth of God.

While everyone was telling their stories, Frey suddenly stood up.

“Fray. Where are you going?”

“To train.”

“…Training?”

“Training to cut down whatever comes in front of me. This time, I’ll cut it down before it reaches Lucy.”

*

Phew. I’m glad the excuse worked. It would have been very annoying if Frey had stuck to me so persistently. It helps that he’s just an idiot.

‘It’s not that big of a deal. ‘It’s a bit difficult to prepare something as big as we did at the Burrow Estate, isn’t it?’

If you want to create a miracle, you can do it. I will visit Count Artea’s house and give you prayers and blessings, and then you will be able to get everything you want.

If that doesn’t work, you can talk to the Pervert Apostle and tell him that he will make a personal accessory for Count Artea.

Nevertheless, there are two main reasons for not thinking about this.

One is that it stands out too much.

I’m already attracting attention because of my jewelry. Why don’t I cause a miracle? Isn’t it clear that the church you gave me will be looking at me?

From my perspective, as I should not be found out as an apostle of God, their interest is just annoying.

Another thing is that Luca will be happy if I cause a miracle.

Think about it. Something that a student like me cannot and should not cause is unfolding under the scenario created by Luca.

Then Luca will die smiling even at the last moment.

Thinking that I had created a work of art called myself.

That can’t be possible. do not do that.

That bastard’s final fate must be in vain.

How much have I suffered from that bastard Luca! I can’t let you go comfortably!

Although it is a one-sided grudge beyond the monitor! Anyway, I can’t see him walking away smiling!

‘I’m going to call Luca the person he likes the most and the person he hates the most in the world.’

‘yes.’

He is a person who was with Luca when he lived as an adventurer before becoming an academy professor.

A person who brought despair to Luca with only his own talent.

Current Geomseong.

A person who should have had a very important influence on Frey in the original game’s story.

‘How would a dull rock feel when seeing stars shining in the sky? How fun would that look be when facing a brighter star?

Just thinking about it makes me smile.
