The Academy’s Time Stop Player

“Huhu, it’s been a while, both of you.”

Ha-jun and Han Si-young were sitting on the sofa in the principal’s office, facing Choi Joong-won.

Choi Joong-won showed a kind smile and started talking about what brought the two of them to this place.

“It’s nothing but me, I’m here because I want to ask you guys something.”

“Please?”

“Yes. Can you take a look at this document first?”

With those words, Choi Joong-won placed a piece of material on the table.

Ha-Jun and Han Si-Young started reading the material given by Choi Joong-Won, and soon Ha-Jun knew what Principal Choi Joong-Won was asking for.

‘This… … Co-episode elixir?’

[1-1 joint episode ‘Elixir’]

A story in which the main character of the episode changes for each playable character selected.

The gist of the story was as follows.

The playable character is a story in which, at the request of Principal Joong-Won Choi, he goes to the ‘broker’ who manufactures a suspicious elixir in the shadow of ‘Del Her’, a trading chapter, with cadet chairman Lee Ju-hee, and finds the elixir he sells.

The reason was this.

“Currently, strange rumors are circulating among the first-year juniors.”

A strange rumor was spreading among the cadets of the current first-year junior class.

It was rumored that if you drink the elixir sold by a broker in the world famous ‘Del Herre’, the world-famous space trading venue, you can achieve rapid growth as a superman.

“As the data shows, some of the first-year lower-class cadets have achieved extraordinary growth. Of course, it remains to be seen whether it is because of the elixir of rumors or whether this child’s talent has blossomed, but if it is because of the elixir, then we need to investigate the elixir.”

What he is worried about is probably the side effects of the elixir.

Unless it’s a legendary growth item, most of these types of elixir are accompanied by serious side effects.

“So I’m sorry to all of you, but can you get me an elixir that the broker sells? He said he only sells elixir to children.”

“All right.”

“… … .”

At Choi Joong-won’s request, Han Si-young nodded immediately, and Ha-jun was immersed in thought for a moment with a questioning expression.

It wasn’t my intention to say no.

Just because I had one question.

‘The second thing to call me is where is Lee Joo-hee… … ah!’

Then, only then did Ha-jun understand the reason for the change before the episode even started.

Come to think of it, Chairman Lee Joo-hee must be resting in the hospital with an injury.

‘Then did you call me on behalf of Lee Joo-hee?’

She must have been hospitalized due to an injury sustained in the Dimensional Dungeon episode, so it must have been that she had called me on her behalf.

And Ha-jun opened his mouth thinking about the penalty to be given due to the episode that changed from the beginning.

“Yes, I understand.”

For a moment, Choi Joong-won opened his eyes wide as if slightly surprised by Ha-jun’s answer, and gradually began to smile at Ha-joon with a benevolent smile.

“Huhu, thank you.”

The reason he was surprised was that he saw a very small change in Ha-jun.

Choi Joong-won also knew Ha-jun’s personality to some extent.

That’s why I thought that I would reject it, because I didn’t know that I would accept it so readily.

‘I don’t know what the reason is, but it looks like you’ve chosen something.’

And Choi Joong-won was half right.

As he thought, Ha-jun chose to be a little more active.

The reason for accepting the penalty while considering the penalty was simple.

I just decided not to care about the penalty.

Anyway, as long as my existence exists in the world of this game, I could be sure that the future will change and the penalty will be given unconditionally even if I try not to do anything.

So, even if it deviated a little from the normal flow, I decided that I had to solve the case somehow.

“Well then, before we go to ‘Del Herre’… … I can’t go in that state. You are very famous in the world.”

With those words, Choi Joong-won handed two ring boxes to Ha-jun and Han Si-young.

Choi Joong-won said.

“I brought a Noble Phantasm because disguise made of magic, including magic tools, can be easily found out. It’s a Noble Phantasm that can be easily disguised, so give it a try.”

Han Si-young immediately took the ring out of the ring box and put it on her finger.

Soon after, Han Si-young’s hair color and eye color began to change significantly.

His original sharp nose and jawline remained unchanged, his black hair changed to blonde, and his dark black eyes began to turn blue.

Soon after, a foreigner with a sharp impression sat next to Ha-jun.

‘Well… … .’

Ha-jun also wore a ring to use the Noble Phantasm following Han Si-young.

Then, there was a problem.

cleavage- cleavage-

“… … ?”

“her… … .”

“… … .”

Inside the principal’s office, the three were speechless and silence began to drift.

It was because a situation that surprised even the calm Choi Joong-won had happened.

“her… … Even if it’s not a Noble Phantasm, it’s a rare Noble Phantasm… … .”

A rare-grade Noble Phantasm known to be used by any superhuman.

When Ha-jun tried to use the Noble Phantasm, there was a reaction.

Han Si-young began to look at Ha-joon with absurd eyes.

And Ha-jun was also absurd and just stared blankly at the Noble Phantasm.

“Is it true?”

Global market, the place of trading ‘Del Herre’

It is the world’s largest market for superhumans, which can only be entered with an invitation made with magic tools. And there were two rules that had to be followed unconditionally in this del Herre.

‘No one should use the power of a superman to fight in this Del Her.’

‘Never break a deal.’

This was a rule set by the superman who created this space called Del Her, and everyone who entered here considered this rule as important and followed it.

Of course, that has created a black market in the shadow of this Del Her.

And the owner of Del Her also tended to condone this black market.

The reason was simple.

First, it is because this space itself does not belong to any country and is out of the bounds of the law. Second, it is because those who trade illegally on the black market are complying with the rules of ‘Del Herre’. As long as no one makes a fuss, saying that it can be used also meant everyone, including the villain.

Ha-jun and Han Si-young were able to get an invitation from Lee Del Her with the help of Choi Joong-won. According to Choi Joong-won, he received help from an acquaintance, but Ha-jun seemed to know who the acquaintance was. Probably the owner of this Del Her.

“Well then, shall we go?”

afternoon after class.

Ha-jun and Han Si-young were standing in a wide field inside the academy.

They both had a ticket in their hands and were preparing to head straight to Del Her.

“But why am I dressed like this?”

Before getting ready to leave, Si-young Han looked at Ha-joon with a dissatisfied expression and asked.

Han Si-young was wearing a black suit.

It was an outfit full of charisma.

On the other hand, Ha-joon’s outfit exudes a glamorous feeling, like the son of a wealthy man.

A black trench coat, a brown fur scarf, and sunglasses.

In addition to that, expensive ornaments.

Hajun couldn’t cover his face with a Noble Phantasm, so he changed his style by dressing up with such expensive things. Unlike Han Si-young, Ha-joon’s face is not well known.

Hajun said.

“Your appearance is too tight, so you have to disguise yourself like this.”

“… … .”

Han Si-young made a face that she didn’t like it because it was a little uncomfortable, but for the first time, she was inclined to agree with Ha-jun’s opinion. The fact that the broker selling the elixir is only targeting lower class cadets means that it only provides elixir to superhumans with weak powers.

“Once you play the role, did you remember the name? Hanvier Anzre Young?”

“… … okay.”

In addition, the names Han Si-young and Kim Ha-jun are well-known to the public, so we decided to use pseudonyms.

Han Si-young is Ha-jun’s bodyguard from a foreign country named Hanvier Anzre-young.

And Ha-Jun is Lee-Han, the son of a wealthy man.

“Let’s go when we’re ready.”

Ha-jun left the bag of money in Han Si-young and opened his mouth.

Han Si-young nodded and tore the ticket he was holding with Ha-jun with his hand.

That moment.

Whoo!

I blinked my eyes for a moment and when I woke up, I was moved to a certain place.

It was a large square with towering buildings and a fountain in the center.

Ha-jun turned his head to confirm that Han Si-young had also arrived and gave her a warning.

“I tell you in advance, never pull out the sword from your waist.”

Two disciplines exist in this space del Herre.

One of them, a battle using the power of a superman, should never be fought here.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No matter what, if you break the rules, you will be immediately registered on the black list and expelled from this space, and you will not be able to come back here again.

“Yeah, I see.”

Han Si-young nodded her head without complaint.

“You must be here for the first time.”

“What… … Isn’t that right?”

It’s actually the first time, but it’s a place I’ve been to hundreds of times when playing a game. Of course, he knew exactly where the elixir was sold.

Ha-jun took the lead and told Han Si-young.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“Do you know the place?”

“Well, there is a place where I can only guess.”

* * *

Del Herre’s shadow.

Unlike the noisy scenery we saw earlier, Ha-jun and Han Si-young arrived in front of a shack that had a gloomy atmosphere.

Ha-jun and Han Si-young opened the door of the shack and went inside.

The inside of the shack was suspiciously empty.

“Nothing.”

“Well, wait a minute.”

As Si-young Han was looking around this open place, Ha-jun looked at the boards on the floor and lifted one of the boards. Then came the stairs leading down to the basement.

“… … Stairs? How did know?”

“If you are not in the north, east, west, and south, you have to check the top and bottom. Is there any other way to an empty house like this other than the basement?”

“… … .”

Ha-joon gave a rough answer and went down the stairs.

Han Si-young sounded strangely sophistry, but it also sounded like the right thing to say, so I nodded and followed Ha-jun down the stairs.

There was a door at the end of the stairs, and when I opened the door and went inside, an old man with a brown robe covering his face was sitting in a chair and waiting for Ha-jun.

“A guest has arrived.”

The man’s voice was not serious.

As if on an echo, his voice resonated strangely, creating a bizarre feeling.

He took off Rob’s hat with his dry hands, revealing his face.

A thin-faced old man with a distinctive hawk nose.

He looked around Ha-jun and Han Si-young once and opened his mouth.

“Where are you from?”

After that, Ha-jun took out his cadet ID and showed it to him without saying anything.

It was a cadet ID with the lower class of the academy and a pseudonym.

“I heard they sell elixir, how much do you want?”

“Yeah, you were a cadet of the academy, yes.”

Ha-jun was bothered and tried to get things done quickly.

There was no way to stop time and steal his elixir.

The reason was that he made an elixir on the spot at the same time he traded.

Soon after, his eyes turned black and he began to look around Ha-jun and Han Si-young.

In an instant, Ha-joon began to feel unfavorable for some reason.

what? Did he have that kind of ability?

The reason was immediately informed by the system window.

[Penalty is given to the changed future.]

[The broker who sells the elixir is given a ‘visual eye’ that measures strength and weakness.]

When Hajun’s expression gradually hardened in the notification window that appeared.

Its voice began to reverberate in this small space.

“Heh heh heh! The elixir I made is only for the weak. I made an elixir just for them.”

Soon after, his empty jet-black eyes turned to Hajun, and the corners of his lips began to rise.

“But, what about you? Which wealthy man has the power of self-control?”

When Ha-jun’s expression gradually hardened with irritation and Han Si-young slowly tried to put his hand on the sword.

That was then.

“Huh?!”

Suddenly, he let out a sudden groan and began to tremble with his lips and hands.

As if seeing something unbelievable, he looked at Ha-jun and began to be astonished.

“Hey, hey, hey, this can’t be… … .”

“… … ?”

“… … ?”

As Ha-jun and Han Si-young were looking at the broker with questionable faces, a tear suddenly began to flow down the corner of the broker’s eyes.

“Three, my God… … Something like this… … .”

Soon after, he grabbed Ha-jun’s hand with his trembling hands, clasping them affectionately.

He slowly opened his mouth to Ha-jun, with tears in his eyes.

“Stand, please… … How could there ever be a superhuman who was so insignificantly weak… … .”
