I Became The Academy's Narrow-Eyes

67 – Token of Friendship (2)

This incident gave me three realizations.

one realization

It was the fact that the hero grade artifact had a value far beyond my expectations.

The reason Adoni with long nails carried this necklace of courage in his pocket instead of hanging it around his neck wasn’t simply because the necklace’s design was cute.

Treasures have magical powers.

A spell that blinds people and turns them into greedy monsters.

Adoni was wary of a situation in which people who recognized the value of this necklace would turn into monsters and attack him under the influence of the magic.

I also realized this for sure on this occasion.

In the future, we promised to be careful and cautious in handling artifacts of hero grade or higher.

two realizations.

It was the fact that this world, contrary to what I felt and hoped for, was full of all sorts of dangers.

I’ve been thinking

What would have happened if Miss Aedrin and Miss Miz had gone to get the necklace appraisal without me.

I don’t even want to imagine.

The unimaginable would have happened.

Fortunately, I was by my side this time, so nothing happened to them-

Demons, warlocks, harassin, monsters, criminals and more.

This world is full of all kinds of dangers.

And, the people around me were placed at the center of a world full of dangers.

I didn’t know when I would be in danger again without me.

I felt like a mother who had given her child to the waterside.

It’s not even a false analogy.

The average age of admission to the academy is twenty.

The three of them, Ms. Drin, Aedrin, and Ms., were also twenty-three of them belonged to the category of adults by social standards.

But, by the standards of the world of power?

The three of them were still children.

The qualities that people in this world are born with in relation to mana begin to be expressed only after the growth of the body, which is a container for mana, is completed and stabilized.

in other words.

By the standards of the world of power, academy freshmen can be seen as children who have just taken their first steps.

Miss Drin, Miss Aedrin, and Miss Mizu, all three of them are people who are above the main cast of the game.

In the future, it has the potential to be reborn as a strong person who will not be defeated by anyone.

But if you look at it right now?

Even if the three of them worked together, it would be difficult to defeat one of the long-clawed Adoni.

If it was a game, I wouldn’t have to worry about it.

At the beginning of the game, it’s a situation where you encounter Adoni with long nails, which you only encounter in the middle or late game, and put you in danger.

however.

This was real life, not a game.

I don’t know when the gap between the game and reality will occur that I don’t know about.

Like that, the heroes, including those three people, might be in a crisis they can’t handle.

What would happen if the heroes suffered serious injuries and became crippled or died?

It is basic that my fragile and delicate mentality receives unbearable damage.

Maybe, there’s a problem with clearing the quest and having trouble seeing the happy ending-

In the worst case, it could have been directly linked to a bad ending.

So I thought.

Let’s grow our heroes.

It is to help the growth of heroes by mobilizing all the means I have.

To endure any hardship and adversity.

The method that immediately came to mind was to farm all kinds of elixirs and artifacts and give them to the heroes.

with that start.

I was thinking of gifting Miss Aedrin with a necklace full of courage.

like that.

I was faced with a third realization.

Enlightenment three.

A woman’s heart is complicated.

To the point that a gamechanger like me would never understand.

I just wanted to present the necklace to Miss Aedrin.

But when the series of events surrounding this necklace came to an end.

“Ceylon. I really appreciate it, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to accept or buy that necklace now. I beg of you, please correct the mistake I made to you.”

Miss Aedrin said that and vehemently refused my gift of a necklace.

“Fool, I really appreciate it, but I don’t think I’ll ever get that necklace right now. But if you give it to me, I’ll take it.”

what is this person

In any case, Ms. Miz said so, and urged me to rectify the mistake I had made with the sheep I had given.

In the end, unable to deliver the necklace filled with courage to anyone, I returned to my room, that is, to the guest room of the Rebringer Mansion, and lay down on the bed in agony.

‘What did I do wrong to the sheep we gave?’

In order to determine the cause of the mistake, he recalled what had just happened.

‘Did I get angry because I prepared only Miss Aedrin’s present…?’

It seemed that way.

Therefore, the way to heal the wounds I inflicted on our sheep was determined.

It is to prepare a gift to give to the sheep given.

‘That’s great, I’ll give you this necklace-‘

After thinking for a moment, I immediately changed my mind.

A voice came from deep within me.

-Is that the best? You slit-eyed idiot~ (Echo)

surely.

Looking back, I don’t think this was the case.

This is the necklace I was going to present to Miss Aedrin.

But when the number is wrong, you give it as a gift to the sheep you gave it?

It’s not like I’m tinkering with anything.

It was disrespectful to both Aedrin and Drin.

‘Let’s find a new friend-no gift.’

A gift for the given sheep.

‘What would be good?’

At the same time, the first option that came to mind was ‘food’.

The sheep we gave had a different passion for gastronomy, not gluttony.

the problem is.

These days, what I do every morning, lunch, and dinner is to cook and serve the food to the sheep.

While serving the menu with more care than usual, ‘This is a gift prepared for the amount you gave’ Blowing a wink?

‘There will be anger that wasn’t there.’

While trying to present a 2nd grade artifact to Miss Aedrin, you see her trying to cook for herself?

No matter how dishonest our sheep were, they would not be able to tolerate the rise in pouting level.

‘Is that the only thing…’

In the end, the final option left was another 2nd-class artifact.

Obtain a level 2 artifact and present it to the given sheep.

Originally, it was nothing new to me, who was planning to help the sheep grow by dedicating all sorts of artifacts and elixirs.

‘see…’

So, the first thing I did was open my inventory.

Unexpectedly, the reward for the quest that was cleared after killing Dalaai was prepared there.

“Whoa…”

[Random box (maximum reward level hero)]

In professional terms, it was a situation where Adari did not come.

When you need a hero-grade artifact at the right time, a hero-grade artifact appears?

This is almost a revelation from God.

“You’re lucky.”

Works after entering the line.

I opened the box after saying that line first.

Then, a completely different scene unfolded from when the previous box was opened.

-Boo-wook~

Instead of a brilliant light, the box emits an unpleasant sound, like gas leaking behind a person in a bad mood, and then disappears in vain.

‘Oops.’

And in my hand-

[Item: Flower]

[Rating: Normal]

Description: Flower

A bright golden flower was held in her hand.

‘A true story?’

Normal grade items come out of the max grade hero random box?

Even at this time?

‘Isn’t it too careless?’

No matter how you look at it, isn’t it right to present a hero-grade artifact that has a nice appearance and complies with the abilities to present to the sheep given here?

‘It looks like a flower.’

I never thought the day would come when I felt like a fairy with an unusual mask.

Plan A, which was the easiest and fastest way to obtain hero-level artifacts, became a flower.

‘…well, it’s pretty.’

The vivid golden color reminded me of the amount I had given, so I was in no mood to say anything about the flower itself.

So, I let out a sigh and thought of plan B.

‘Academy.’

It was the place that came to mind when I conceived of Plan B.

As the academy is the main stage of the game, all sorts of artifacts were hidden in the academy.

In fact, as a newbie, I was only able to figure out the whereabouts of all the artifacts, but only a small part.

Fortunately, among the few artifacts whose whereabouts are known, there was an artifact suitable for gifting to a given sheep.

The difficulty of getting it is not too high.

At least by my standards now.

If you just enter the academy site as a student, you might be able to get it easily.

Just a few days later, I will go through the academy entrance ceremony and evolve into an academy freshman.

In fact, the hero grade artifacts could be seen as a winner.

‘okay.’

all clear.

Feeling relieved, I got out of bed and headed for the door.

To go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

“huh?”

“…!”

That’s how I head to the kitchen, oops.

I ran into the sheep I gave.

Our sheep looked at me and smiled bitterly.

“Ah, that Ceylon… I don’t have much appetite today, but I don’t think you need to prepare my meal for dinner tonight.”

“Huh…!”

That the sheep you gave skipped meals?

Apparently, the situation, the heartache suffered by the sheep, seemed to be more serious than I thought.

‘What do we do? Why don’t you go and rob a back alley right now?’

That time when even extreme options came to mind.

“Huh? What is that?’

The sheep’s gaze turned to my hand.

“Hmm? Oh, this.”

flower.

no see.

‘The name of the item is also a flower, and the description is also a flower. Aren’t you sick?’

Anyway, I just thought it was fine.

What would be the most valuable way to use a normal item or flower that came out of a maximum-rated hero random box?

I could confidently say

“As you can see, it’s a flower– if you don’t mind, would you take it?

“… what is it all of a sudden?”

She turned her head coldly, as if she wasn’t interested.

“When it comes to flowers, there must be many people besides me who will give them to you.”

Even so, that gaze was looking sideways at the flower.

“So, this flower. Doesn’t it look like the sheep you gave?”

“yes?”

“The first time I saw this gorgeous golden color, I remembered the amount I gave.”

I took the flower next to the sheep’s head and compared its color.

“By the way- Oh, it must have been my mistake. Looking at it now, Miss Drin’s blonde hair seems to be much clearer and more beautiful.”

I smiled innocently and held out the flower to the sheep who gave it to me.

From noble mtl dot com

“Nevertheless, please, would you accept it? If the sheep I gave you would accept these flowers, I think I’ll feel very good right now.”

Random box rewards can be turned into a happy circuit if you use them with value.

“…”

The sheep he offered carefully received the flower with both hands.

Then, as he brought it to his nose and smelled the scent, a subtle smile spread across his calm expression.

Soon, the sheep I gave bowed to me and carefully opened its mouth.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Ceylon. I’ve caused concern with my immature behavior. Thank you for your concern.”

“Yes? hahahaha, I don’t know what you’re talking about~ It’s as if I gave the flower as a gift with a different intention~”

“Whoops, is that so?”

that day.

Our sacrificed sheep changed his mind and joined the supper.

At the seat of the sheep who participated in the meal, there was a bottle of flowers that I had presented.

I don’t know why, but it seemed that the mood of the sheep we gave was relieved to some extent.

‘With that much, I’ll be able to hold out until I get the artifact, right?’

It was fortunate.

***

The main auditorium of Ain Academy where the entrance ceremony is in full swing.

There were people standing on the balcony railing and looking down.

A badge of a color other than white placed on the chest of the school uniform.

They were academy seniors.

“Hanahan?”

“What’s Hanahan-nim doing…?”

Even among the upperclassmen of the academy, there was someone who drew attention.

“Huh? Meloin. What’s the matter? You’re watching the entrance ceremony.”

As one of the 8th generation, the Han family is a master of magic representing the continent and the owner of the Blue Mage Tower.

It was Hana Han, the second son of the Han family.

A cold impression that goes well with the cold navy blue color that comes with waist-length hair.

Meloin didn’t bother to answer, just looked down at the freshmen with a cold gaze.

Then, the man with a light impression who asked him a question, ‘huh?’, immersed in thought, covers his mouth as if he realized something.

It was belatedly remembered that this year, the ‘swordsmanship genius’ of the Han Han family was entering the academy.

“uh?”

“Looks like it’s starting.”

A man with a stocky body and a handsome face that didn’t match at all stood up on the podium.

-This is Herion Dedler, the representative of the entrance exam officer for the swordsmanship club.

How long would it have been for Herion to continue talking about the swordsmanship entrance exam and the test participants as the representative of the swordsmanship entrance exam officer?

-Then, I will announce the top of the swordsmanship entrance exam this time.

In an instant, the cluttered atmosphere on the balcony is tidied up.

The upperclassmen of the swordsmanship department started talking about a common theme with excited faces.

“Who do you think this chief will be?”

“Aren’t you sure it’s a Rebringer?”

“I heard that the mana sensitivity test result came out as 4 stars in the first test?”

“Oh my God. Four stars at that age?”

“What chick just turned 20 is on the same level as me?”

“What a ridiculous monster.”

Most of them predicted the head of the Rebringer and looked up at the podium with faces full of expectations.

Looking forward to the appearance of a proud junior who will be called soon and come up on stage.

-Senior of the swordsmanship entrance exam, Ceylon. congratulations. Please come up on the podium.

“?”

“?”

“?”

However, when a different name is called, a question mark rises above their heads at the same time.

“Ceylon…?”

Even Han Han, the melodrama who had planned to go down the balcony immediately if he didn’t hear Han Han’s name, chewed on the name with a puzzled look on his face.

Soon, a man climbed onto the podium and spoke his feelings.

-Hey~ Sorry for the delay. I’m the chief! I wondered if Instructor Herion had called the wrong name without fail. Ha ha ha ha ha.

He’s too good to win the top spot after defeating a genius with monstrous talent, Drin Libringer-

It was light.

The unique impression of smiling with eyes open was as light as if it would fly away if the wind blew.

In response to the junior’s speech, another upperclassman in the swordsmanship club muttered.

“That stupid guy is the representative of the freshmen of the swordsmanship club…?”

Instead of juniors who would be proud no matter where they were presented, juniors who would be ashamed no matter where they were presented.

One of the seniors in the swordsmanship club looked at the freshmen in the swordsmanship club, wondering if something was wrong.

“…”

The freshmen’s faces showed the emotion of ‘resignation’.

“What the hell happened in the entrance exam…”

The muttering of one of the upperclassmen represented everyone’s feelings.
