This Is Not a Game Chapter 32

Academy

More at noblemtl com

Just because you are in the sun doesn’t mean you don’t know what happens in the dark, and being in a high place doesn’t mean you don’t know what happens in the low places.

There’s nothing to be gained from getting involved, so getting entangled in it is annoying, so even if you know it, you pretend you don’t know.

So was the king.

Anyway, there would be no problem with the boys and girls of the prime of life, whose blood was boiling, gathered in one place. I had at least guessed that there would be some level of bullying, discrimination, and division at the academy.

But knowing it and seeing it with my own eyes were two different things.

“Can this be common sense? Cadets get drunk and run amok and drop an innocent cadet out of the building? That’s on graduation day? Then how terrible things happen in normal times!”

A situation in which an existence the size of a king personally witnessed an unprecedented situation in which drunken cadets threw other cadets out of the window. Naturally, the mood of the day hit rock bottom, and as soon as the graduation ceremony and the ceremony were over, the king ordered a strict investigation into the situation.

“Leon! That bastard acted! We fell into a trap!”

“Well, so it’s true that we usually harassed her, and it’s true that we called her there that day, that’s true, but… no, what happened that day is different? We didn’t do it!”

The perpetrators consistently maintained their innocence, but their claims were far-fetched.

The cadet who had been bullying for the past year suddenly became a different person from a few days ago and started beating all the cadets.

However, the victims and professors were threatened by the cadet and kept quiet.

They called for negotiations, but they suddenly sprayed alcohol and threw a punch in anger, kicked off a table and a wall, and threw their bodies with all their might out of a window completely opposite from their original position, and fell.

The gibberish itself, which could not be understood even from an objective point of view, excluding all prejudice, was concise and clear.

“Leon? Although his achievements are not great, he is a cadet with diligence, which is rare among young people these days. With a single-minded determination to raise a collapsed family, he never shows displeasure and always works hard to train himself, and there is no cadet like him.”

“They’re very mean people. They hang out together and quarrel with the other kids. They go out to play whenever they have free time. Rumors abound about why they came to the academy. I never thought I would do something like this.”

The professors and cadets unanimously praised Leon as a model cadet who was deeply loyal to the king and country and devoted to his studies. blamed

In addition, a considerable number of cadets showed their injuries, saying that it was evidence that they had suffered, so the result was as if it had been decided.

“…The following 17 cadets violently assaulted other cadets, did not work diligently in their studies, and committed an unspeakable horrific act of threatening an innocent cadet by force and throwing it out of a window while intoxicated. I will pay compensation of 1,000 gold coins to the victim, Cadet Leon, and order expulsion from the academy and imprisonment for 3 years.”

“Oh, no! Then you’ll be beaten to death by that father!”

“Judge, please take a look!”

“Judge, please forgive me just once! Judge!”

“No. Please don’t change it. I have no intention of changing it. Go back quickly.”

It is rare for such a harsh judgment to be handed down.

Coincidentally, however, the power and influence of the perpetrators’ families were not so great, the professors at the academy unitedly insisted on strong punishment, and the king was paying attention to this trial.

And on the evening of the day the perpetrators were sentenced, dozens of people gathered in an empty lecture hall.

“We all kept our promises. Now it’s time for you to keep your promises.”

“It’s a promise.”

Yuseong smiled as he looked at the professors and students surrounding him.

He was acting desperately pretending to be confident, but he was able to see through the fear and humiliation hidden beyond that. I wanted to push and pull a few times and burn my heart, but I remembered the experience of almost dying to Felix and immediately took out my smartphone from my arms.

‘The teachings of Professor Felix…’

Kwajik!

A smartphone that was horribly broken to hand over.

The moment an old professor gestured, the smartphone was engulfed in flames and turned into ashes and scattered. Inwardly, Yooseong, who prayed for the peace of the smartphone, which had not even finished the installment, said with a bitter expression.

“I also kept my promise. But don’t forget. I have another magic tool like this. If the negotiations are not kept, or if I die or go missing due to reasons I cannot understand, someone will inform His Highness the King. I will deliver another magic tool.”

“Doesn’t you believe us? If you get rid of one thing, just get rid of the rest neatly…”

“I don’t believe it. Think of what I’ve been through. Would you believe my professors if they were like me?”

“Kheuheum!”

A situation where the leash is grabbed by the other person.

It wasn’t very pleasant, but I couldn’t refuse, so I had no choice but to step back and offer the last line.

“Okay. If you use it instead to intimidate or profit the people here, we will not stand still. We will do whatever it takes to make you and your family pay for it, so you must keep your promise.”

“That’s what I want to say.”

“… Chit.”

As Felix, who had been having a snowball fight, turned around and kicked his tongue, the professors and students hurriedly followed him and started to leave the classroom.

After everyone left, Yuseong, who was left alone, stretched his arms out.

“Ummm! Did this end roughly? How does it look to you? Are you satisfied?”

-·······.

Leon remembered what had happened.

I thought my academy life was over because I suddenly beat up the cadets, but I turned the situation around by threatening the professors and cadets using a mysterious magic tool, and I called out their names without thinking to say to pick out the cadets I can never forgive. I even got kicked out of the academy.

In the meantime, it is a bonus that he received a hefty reparation, a guarantee of evaluation from professors, and a promise that he would never interfere with or be disadvantaged in his academy life in the future.

-··· Satisfied. Really, I’m satisfied.

It felt like all the pain and suffering I had experienced over the past year had melted away.

Every time Yoosung did something, he felt a thrill in his heart, and every time what he said was fulfilled, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

That’s why I couldn’t help but regret it more.

“I have to go now.”

-Are you really going?

“Then do you want me to continue occupying your body like this?”

– To be honest, I think that would be better. For the revival of the family, Yoo Seong-nim is better than me…

“Then take the quest again.”

-Haha, I’d love to, but I’m not sure how I was able to decide on help either. Instead, if a desperate situation comes to you again, you might be able to request that quest. When that time comes, I believe that Yoosung will come to help again.

“As long as someone else doesn’t take it first.”

-Thank you very much! This grace will surely someday…

* * *

“I’m working for a fair wage, but I’m making people’s minds wander for no reason.”

Yoosung scratched his nose with a shy expression.

In the meantime, he had completed several quests, but he had never had an emotional connection with his clients.

Unlike Aris, who struggled only to survive from the monster that was about to take his life, Leon had a lot of time to talk, but only a few conversations, and Philip, who broke up with him in less than an hour. I was quite seriously immersed in it, and because I had a conversation whenever I was bored, I formed a vague friendship.

Are you feeling a bit regretful?

“Whoa, I’ll take a break for now and check the reward tomorrow…”

Yuseong, who turned to throw himself onto the bed, was frozen at the sight unfolding before his eyes.

A naked man and woman wrapped in a shallow blanket are entangled in each other, looking at each other with dazed expressions.

Yuseong, who had been rummaging through his pockets for a while, belatedly remembered that his smartphone had turned to ashes in another world, and inadvertently asked a question.

“May I know what month and day it is today?”

Maybe it’s because I was asked an out-of-the-ordinary question in a situation that was out of common sense.

As if possessed by something, the man picked up the smartphone next to his bed and said the date.

“…March 28th.”

“Six days? In terms of ratio, it’s almost 1:1? I don’t know how the alternative time ratio is set. If it makes a difference…”

“there···.”

“Oh, sorry. Go on.”

Yooseong quietly opened the door and came out of the room.

“Kyaaah

He heard a hideous sound from behind, but Yoosung wasn’t a far-sighted person enough to care about such trivial things.

Coming out of the motel, Yuseong rummaged through his pockets and sighed.

“Damn, I didn’t have a dime, did I?”

Living in Leon’s body, he forgot for a while that Earth himself was broke.

Although he obtained a lot of gold coins through the quest, he would be treated like a psychopath at once if he held out gold coins on Earth and demanded calculations, and cashing out also required prior preparation, such as finding the location of the gold and silver rooms and cross-verifying to measure the value of the gold coins.

But right now, I didn’t have the money to stay somewhere right now, and I didn’t even have a smartphone to research information.

“Hey, mister going there.”

“Kuh, kuhuhm.”

“You’re clearing your cough right now. Yes, you’re looking back now. Do you have any money?”

“…Well, think of it as an extra quest.”

A cruel smile appeared on Yooseong’s face when he discovered the bullies arguing with passers-by. And that night, after purchasing a new smartphone and having a satisfying meal, Yooseong was able to fall asleep comfortably at the hotel.
