Chapter 49 – Chapter 49 Magic School Shutra (1-33)
What is every gamer in the world obsessed with?
Interesting story? Good gameplay? A charming character? Low probability gacha?
… Let’s subtract the last one.
I can say one thing for sure.
It is a one-sided game.
Hints to break through the situation at the moment of crisis that the main character is in.
Critical with a 1% chance to explode in a critical situation in a showdown with a boss.
A character like a one-shot man who can defeat everyone with a single shot.
A card with a probability of 0.0001% that will not come out….
… Again, let’s leave out the last one.
Like this, a game with one shot hits the jackpot. I think.
Gamers are always addicted to one shot and cannot get out of the game.
And it was the same for me.
Even though he is clearly in danger of dying, he expects a shot that may explode.
But if that were real, the story would be different.
If you die, the game is over again.
Even hardcore games can restart the game even if the character is deleted.
But not life.
Still, I was a gamer.
Even though it was just like NTL genre games….
I was able to realize once again that I was buried in the possibility of oriental medicine.

“….”
When I opened my eyes, what was reflected in my field of vision was a scene of two women talking.
It took me a while to remember who they were, even though I was familiar with them.
As you can see, it was night.
I just kept staring blankly.
His mouth was not open, and nothing entered his ears.
As I kept looking at the two of them, at some point, I noticed my gaze, and one of them hurriedly left and the other rushed at me.
He buried his face in my forearm and kept saying something.
“-_____—_.”
What do you say, it didn’t come into my ears at all.
But at some point, a sound slowly began to flow into my ears.
“Huh…Hehe….”
I wasn’t talking
I just kept crying and wetting my arms with tears.
“….”
I wanted to open my mouth and say something, but I couldn’t even move my lips.
But I concentrated all my strength on the other arm, lifted it up, and placed it on top of her head.
Then he pulled everything up and opened his mouth.
“… Are you okay?”
“Ahhhhh!”
The first time we met, a girl who didn’t seem to shed any tears at all.
It’s not cold-blooded, but it’s an existence cut off from the world.
A woman like that was crying bitterly in front of me.
“Thanks…. Thank you for being alive…. Ugh….”
I said it was hard, but I gave an answer.
But it was satisfactory.
Because the answer I wanted was just her voice in the first place.
Someone entered the room.
It was Sonya and the old woman.
At first glance, the white-haired old woman looked like a professor at this school.
The professor came up to me quickly, took a hard look at my face, and said:
“What a world… I never thought you would wake up.”
“Are you okay? Status….”
“Once you wake up, there will be no problems.”
Sonya and the old woman were talking earnestly to each other.
The old woman came back to me and shoved something into her mouth.
“Suck!”
“Eat you bastard!”
“Kek… Keck… !”
Her throat choked and she thought she would die.
‘No, damn, I’m really going to die!’
Just put it in your mouth and you’ll eat it on its own.
I wasn’t putting it in to eat, I was shoveling it in.
After the stuff was pushed into the stomach, the body slowly began to relax.
“Ha… Ha….”
“First of all, it’s a medicine made for purifying mana. It’s still experimental, but after a while, we’ll be able to talk. Then I’ll be on my way.”
“Thank you. Professor Magta.”
When the gray-haired professor left, silence enveloped the room again.
Luna seemed to have calmed down somewhat, as she held my arm and bowed her head.
It was Sonya who broke the silence.
She came up to me and put her hand on my forehead and said.
“It’s okay?”
“… Yes.”
I could feel my body slowly recovering, but it was still difficult to answer.
Sonya pondered, then proceeded with the story.
“The dean will come in a little while. Pretend you don’t know unconditionally.”
“What?”
Sonya explained the whole situation.
Destruction of mana golems, trespassing in the arena in the forest… And….
Death of an assistant professor.
The assistant professor, who died as a mummy, was so rotten that even some people who arrived at the scene vomited.
The problem was that even the dean couldn’t figure out exactly how such a death had taken place.
Fortunately, there were no cases of death from mana drain, so it seemed that the exact cause could not be found.
“I don’t know what happened, but take it off as you don’t know. In particular, he said he couldn’t even remember the death of an assistant professor….”
“But he….”
“Listen to me!”
Sonya screamed urgently.
“If Suho had even 1 percent involvement in the assistant professor’s death, he wouldn’t be able to get out of here alive!”
“….”
“Shutra School is a place that looks brilliant and great on the outside, but in reality it is completely different!”
Sonya began to tell me what the dean was like.
I thought for a while.
What the dean said to the students….
(If there is a student who aims a knife at the professor at this school, I will punish him first.)
I could never easily forget those words.
And suddenly a person came to mind.
‘Armonia?’
[….]
‘Oh, is there a communication problem? Fucked me.’
[… Did someone who knew that there shouldn’t be a problem act like that?]
‘Uh?’
Certainly, Armonia’s voice was not different from usual.
But there was weight in her voice.
‘Uh… Are you mad?’
[Why, did you not follow what I said? If I had asked for outside help, this situation would not have come.]
‘No, then Luna….’
[Luna Stadtfeld’s death was just an accident.]
‘What?’
For the first time, Armonia’s words made me laugh so I couldn’t even answer her words properly.
But her next words changed my mind.
[If Suho died, what would Viola here think?]
‘That….’
No answer came.
[And….]
‘… ?’
[What were you planning to do with this ship without a guardian?]
‘….’
Armonia told me in the beginning.
It cost a lot to summon me, and even disposed of everything….
Armonia genuinely recognized the value of my existence.
‘Sorry. I’ll be careful next time.’
[That doesn’t make sense.]
‘… I’ll be more careful next time.’
[That doesn’t even make sense.]
Armonia was adamant.
There is no such thing as a perfect situation in this world. I thought it was necessary to gamble in a dangerous situation.
‘No, I know what will happen….’
[To Suho, Mr. Viola and the ship… And… Is my weight only that much?]
‘….’
At Armonia’s words, he thought deeply about her.
Come to think of it, when I first met Armonia, she was alone.
Considering that she was alone from the start, it certainly wasn’t.
I don’t know who I was with before, but now I was.
I don’t know exactly who she perceives me as.
It could just be a well-chosen hidden card, or you could recognize it as a colleague.
However, her cry earlier did not contain such a universal emotion.
I don’t know exactly what emotion it is, but that’s what I felt.
‘Sorry, I’ll put my life first in a dangerous situation now.’
[This is a sufficient answer.]
Only then did Armonia relax her mood.
After barely calming down Armonia, she turned her attention back to Sonya and Luna.
Sonya had been repeating the same thing to me in a different way.
The gist of the speech was simple.
Just avoid the fact that you were involved in the death of the assistant professor.
Those words were being said not only to me, but also to Luna.
“Okay? Luna student. She just needs to explain that she was knocked out by a mana golem.”
“Yes….”
Luna grabbed my arm and said something similar to Sonya.
“Whatever happens, tell me you passed out with me.”
“… Yea, I got it.”
Click.
The moment I answered, someone carefully opened the door and entered.
Was the dean
On either side stood two old professors.
One was the professor who had put the medicine in her mouth earlier, and the other was a male, a face I had never seen before.
The dean looked at me and said.
“Are you feeling well?”
“Yes…. Sorry. Can happen now….”
“Heh heh heh, it’s okay. Please sit down.”
The dean smiled casually as usual and walked to the bed.
He got right to the point.
“I want to ask you about what happened today.”
“… Yes.”
“What did you do to break into the arena in the forest?”
We started the conversation under the pretext of violating school rules from the beginning.
I calmly explained.
I heard about Luna on the way out to the restaurant, and she said that she immediately ran to the arena in the forest.
And she said that she asked the girls who told her story to tell Professor Sonya about her situation.
“Why, Professor Sonya?”
“… He was the most trustworthy professor.”
“Hmm….”
The dean looked at Sonya softly, then at me, as if telling me to continue.
Afterwards, he explained thatheheard a commotion in the forest and was forced to enter without permission.
After entering, he explained that he couldn’t remember because he was attacked by a golem.
The dean looked at me with a questioning expression.
The intimidation was no joke.
“Why didn’t you ask for outside help?”
“… It was because of Luna. That’s all.”
“Hmm….”
At my words, Luna was embarrassed and started to fidget.
However, even with my words, the dean’s expression was not convinced.
The dean asked the two professors on either side.
“Have you noticed anything about today’s incident?”
“After…. Sorry. No matter how much I looked, there were only traces of mana drain. The strange thing is that the assistant professor probably isn’t at the level of being absorbed by the golem, but I couldn’t figure it out.”
“Although traces of brain attribute mana were also visible, she was a bitter trace to the golem.”
“Hmm….”
Upon receiving the report from the two, the dean closed his eyes and thought deeply.
Fortunately, superconducting bullets were supposed to disappear once used.
However, the iron ball I used must have been around, but there was no separate story about it.
‘Didn’t he have much interest because he was small?’
[It was moved outside while Suho passed out. Fortunately, it was a simple iron ball, so there was no great difficulty.]
‘Five! After all, our CEO.’
While I was admiring it, the dean looked at me closely and opened his mouth.
“Then you used magic on the golem, right?”
“Yes….”
… Something was unsettling.
‘It feels like I’ve been caught….’
[Still, I’m sure I won’t do anything harmful. However, he is not a purely zodiac person, so you have to be careful. There are certainly beings who refuse even if the god’s representative commands them.]
He said he was a very dear person on his side.
There was no law telling him not to leave because he was in a bad mood.
Because in this world, you are the main character.
The dean closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
Sonya and Luna, who usually kept their composure well, were also sweating slightly because they were nervous.
In the room that had been silent for 10 minutes, the dean’s voice echoed with a smile.
“I’m going to look into things a bit more today, but I’ll move on.”
Sonya and Luna let out a sigh of relief when they avoided the dean’s gaze.
By the way….
“But in the end, he invaded the school property without permission and damaged the golem, which is a private property….”
The moment the dean’s words continued, Sonya’s face was tense, and Luna looked at the dean with a puzzled expression.
Finally, the dean looked at me and finished his remarks.
“Students will have to vacate the dormitory by tomorrow.”
