I Became the Must-Have Character of the Academy City - Chapter 75



74 – Impersonation is Half Confidence -1-

While driving Clara to the ruins on the open road, an alarm visible only to Rohan appeared.

[A quest has been triggered.]

[Broken Crown Act 3]

Quest Details: You have finally discovered a clue. To find out what lies at the end of the thread, you may enter the ruins and uncover the truth. Alternatively, if you wish to proceed with caution, returning to the academy city is also a good option.

Classification: Main Story

Success Rewards: 2 Random Point Pouches, 10 Restaurant Reservation Tickets

Penalty for Failure: None

The rewards are a bit unusual this time, aren’t they?

The restaurant reservation ticket is an item sold at the store for 50P. In fact, Rohan has never bought this item.

Isn’t this like a reward suggesting you should have a meal after it’s over?

’10 tickets would be 500P.’

Compared to the reward of transcendence, it’s quite disappointing. Still, it was something he would have done even without the reward.

He decided to think of the two point pouches he received as a bonus.

Rohan took his eyes off the quest and organized the situation.

‘Now I can see the end of one main story.’

The Broken Crown can be concluded in Act 3 depending on the player’s choice, or it can proceed up to Act 4.

In Abyss City, experiencing both the end of Act 3 and Act 4 to receive all the rewards and wealth is the most efficient.

However.

Rohan has no intention of going to Act 4.

Rewards? Of course, he desires them. He would be satisfied with just receiving a lot of points like now, even without special items.

But the more greedy I become, the more real the suffering of Sion becomes.

‘I will finish in Act 3.’

Rohan decided so. He will finish before the morning sun rises.

Thus, he attempts this method.

“Grand Elder Levin Maxwell!”

The real name of the Grand Elder, which even Sion doesn’t know and only a very few among the elders know.

He felt the attention of the crowd inside the building gathering.

“Come out immediately and obey the command of the Reflux Praise Society!”

Rohan’s aim was to impersonate based on overwhelming information.

If someone appeared who knew information that should not have been exposed, the other side could not act recklessly either.

The old men over there would only receive unilateral notifications from the Reflux Praise Society. They have no means of contacting them.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

An elf, presumed to be middle-aged, walked out.

He maintained a respectful yet wary atmosphere towards Rohan and Clara.

“…Who are you?”

“We are the messengers of Lord Hex.”

“!!!”

“Even if you are ignorant, you are arrogant. I did not call for you, but for the High Elder.”

Srrng!

Rohan drew the sword that was slung over his back.

As he exuded a murderous intent that could decapitate at any moment, the elf stiffened with tension.

With an annoyed expression, Rohan approached the entrance with a sword in one hand, and Clara quietly followed.

Fortunately, no traps or security skills were activated, so Rohan inwardly sighed in relief as he grabbed the elf by the neck with a force that could break it.

“I personally mentioned the Reflux Praise Society. Do you act like this even after hearing that name?”

“Ugh! I’m sorry…!”

“Do you think this can be resolved with just an apology?”

The apology came naturally in response to Rohan’s confidence. There was no resistance.

Power is so sweet that everyone goes mad for it.

As Rohan infused his sword with magic, signaling his intent to kill, a hurried voice echoed from the entrance.

I apologize. This old man sent the boy ahead, fearing you might have to wait. Will you forgive us…?

Rohan’s head moved, feigning indifference.

Hes here.

What caught his eye was an old elf, who seemed as if he could turn into an ancient tree at any moment.

The old man, accompanied by elders, emerged with a splendid robe dragging on the floor and a staff adorned with jewels.

Rohan steadied his mind to avoid any agitation upon encountering his target.

He continued his act calmly.

Outwardly, he did not erase the look of dissatisfaction towards the elves before him.

Are you Levin Maxwell?

Yes, I am Grand Elder Levin Maxwell.

Had he already judged him to be genuine based on things like the Reverse Praise Society, the coin, and his real name?

His demeanor was nothing but respectful.

Tsk.

Rohan clicked his tongue and sheathed his weapon, throwing the elf he was holding irritably.

I will convey Lord Hexs message. Lead me inside.

Yes.

The elders lowered their eyes and made way.

Rohan walked in confidently, and Clara followed silently, bewildered by the situation, moving only by the sight of his back.

Understanding is impossible, so he just watches Rohan.

.

Walking through the abandoned building in silence.

Without matching the pace of the Grand Elder, Rohan moved as he pleased, telling one of the elders to guide him.

It is absurd for a member of the Reverse Praise Society to show courtesy or respect to another group. He is convinced that these actions are correct.

Please come inside. This is the conference room.

Without a word, Rohan confidently took the seat of honor.

He pulled a chair next to him and seated Clara.

Good. The rest will require some effort.

The situation is literally a bloodless entry. The quest is as good as completed.

Now, it is enough to fulfill Rohan’s personal desires with this situation.

Hey, you there.

Yes!

The smell of mold is terrible. Do you even clean?

Im sorry!

Rohan prodded the elder who had volunteered as a guide.

He sat back comfortably, stretching out.

While waiting for the slow-walking Grand Elder to arrive at the conference room,

Rohan scribbled the words “It’s okay” on the back of Clara’s hand with his finger.

Hehe.

Clara, relieved by Rohan’s consideration, lifted the corners of her mouth into a smile.

Unlike her own, Rohan’s hand was rugged with bulging veins, and she responded to it.

“Oppa, your hand is really big…”

Even after writing the words, Clara did not let go of Rohan’s hand.

With this contact, a sense of calm surely settled in her heart.

Without much thought, Clara placed Rohan’s hand on her thigh and wrapped it with both hands.

The girl felt Rohan, who was confidently looking ahead, flinch and become flustered.

When Rohan subtly tried to withdraw his hand, Clara held it tighter. Seeing his reaction, she became even more reluctant to let go.

“I apologize once again for my slow steps…”

“There’s no need. Sit and listen.”

At that moment, the head elder and the elders came in a group. Rohan gave up trying to pull his hand away and continued his act.

Even though Clara knew it was an act, she felt a sense of mystery in Rohan’s demeanor and focused on watching him.

“Levin Maxwell. Do you have the thirty pieces of silver that Hex bestowed upon you?”

The exact name. The head elder nodded and rummaged through his robes.

He placed the black coin on the table, showing it to Rohan.

With his arms crossed, Rohan leaned back in his chair and continued his announcement.

“Here’s the main point. Hex has found a new vessel. Today, we will determine whether to discard the vessel you have nurtured.”

At those words, the head elder’s wrinkled eyes widened.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning.

“Wh-why is that…?”

From noble mtl dot com

“We found a more certain lineage than Testarossa to kill the Great Tiger Emperor. Hex doesn’t like giving attention to low possibilities.”

“.”

“You were just part of the possibility. One of the many substitutes.”

As Rohan conveyed the words he had calmly fabricated, the Grand Elder’s hand holding the staff trembled.

“Then what happens to what I was promised and to us? We trusted only Hex’s words and Tigrova…”

“Shut up and listen. That’s why I’m here today.”

With a single word, the Grand Elder quickly quieted down.

It wasn’t that he was suppressing his surging emotions, but rather, he was listening because the awaited answer had come.

Just from his attitude, it was clear how rotten he was.

Thud!

Rohan placed two of Judas’ silver coins, which he had obtained by killing Doberman, on the table.

If you add the silver coin that the Grand Elder currently had, it made three.

A giant organization in the shadows.

One of the conditions to be officially affiliated and protected by the Reverse Praise Society or the Black Hand.

“If I give you two here, you’ll have a total of three of Judas’ silver coins. The future will take care of itself.”

“But as you initially commanded, I placed a request with one silver coin. Some have already left for the Academy City.”

“They’ll fail anyway. I saw who you picked. The selection was terrible.”

At Rohan’s firm answer, the Grand Elder fell silent.

An elf elder who had recommended Doberman from the list cautiously opened his mouth.

“The results… have not yet come out.”

“Heh, really? Are you saying I’m wrong?”

With an incredulous look, Rohan sprang up from his seat.

The head elder averted his gaze with a resigned expression.

The elder who had spoken up was one of those who were consumed without even receiving proper information. He didn’t know who had helped the head elder or what the Reflux Praise Society was.

He had merely followed along, like a bat riding the chaos of Tigrova, and ended up here.

As Rohan strode forward, the elders who knew about the Reflux Praise Society quickly stepped aside.

A fist flew through the open path.

Thwack! White teeth scattered from the elder’s mouth.

“Ugh…!”

“Don’t talk back to me.”

No one helped the elder, who was crawling on the floor after a single punch.

Everyone was just watching.

“Well, fine. It’s time to make a decision. Where is the bloodline of Testarossa? Shall we check the blade you have raised?”

Rohan glanced at the head elder.

The head elder let out a deep sigh and spoke in a subdued voice.

“Elder Yi. Go and bring him here as quickly as possible.”

“Ah, understood…!”

With that, one of the elders quickly moved to bring Zion.

A moment later.

Zion, with a bewildered expression, entered the conference room with the elder.

!?

He held his breath as he saw Rohan and Clara sitting at the head seat.
