I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 267



267 – The Witch of Discord and Her Assistant #1

267 – The Witch of Discord and Her Assistant #1

Self-objectification is important.

Especially if you are facing a scary situation where you might fight a dragon.

What can I do in battle?

The only talent I have is swordsmanship.

That’s right.

My swordsmanship skills are the result of a body that has been trained in many ways and the time I have poured into it.

“But, it is a descendant of Arclight swordsmanship.”

Unless my mana level increases, my swordsmanship is at the level of a residual skill that can only be used by ‘humans’.

This may be the limit of hard-working geniuses who cannot become geniuses.

Moreover, I am not sure whether my swordplay will work on a living natural disaster or a dragon called disaster.

“I’m probably a tank.”

If there are no variables, I think I will stand in the front row and play the role of protecting the wizards or long-distance hitters in the back row.

“Of course, there are variables.”

「Artifact」.

This refers to important tools that can be obtained in the latter half of the game.

If I were to briefly explain the setting, it would be ‘an item imbued with the power of God.’

So artifacts appeared important in the story.

From noble mtl dot come

In general, it had overbalanced performance.

Dalgak.

The dice in my pocket are probably one of those “Artifacts.”

The potential shown when fighting Nyx was unusual.

“I don’t even know how to install it. “I don’t even know what abilities you have.”

If we can find the right method and use it well, wouldn’t it be an important ‘key’ to many events that may occur in the future?

“I’ll have to get an appraisal first.”

D&A had a system called “Unconfirmed item”.

The performance of the dropped item is indicated as “?”.

If you give this to a “Scroll of Appraisal” Or go to an “Appraiser NPC” And ask for an appraisal, the abilities hidden in the item will be revealed.

Even for the same item, there are many different options depending on your emotions.

「Is Choi Sang-op’s Vorpal Sword out? The reason bragging posts like “It’s popular so I’ll post it!” Kept coming up was because of this randomness.

“I don’t have a roll of emotions right now.”

‘Unidentified items’ of legendary level or higher appear in the latter half of the second semester.

So since there was no need to appraise, there was no need to keep a huge amount of ‘scroll of appraisal’.

“Do I have no choice but to go to an appraiser?”

NPC in charge of item appraisal.

When I thought of him, cold sweat ran down my back.

“I hope nothing troublesome happens.”

━Hiooong…

Kkongkkung, who was listening to me muttering to myself, was trembling as if he felt uneasy somewhere.

I just pat that guy’s back with my hand.

“Okay. “The only thing that’s bothersome is a side quest.”

* * *

Student center where the student council works.

If you walk nearby, do you come across a lake?

I heard that there was a legend that fairies would appear from the lake and bring a legendary sword, or that they would take heroes to Avalon, a sanctuary located in a secret area of the lake.

“Nymph Bigi, splashing around in the water… !”

“Arnoy is splashing around in the water again…” ” ! Even this Ariol cannot lose… !”

“So the nymphs of the ditch… Watching Tenebris spread ink… !”

“Hoeeeh… !”

Splash, splash.

I don’t know if the stories about the legendary sword or Sanctuary Avalon are true.

It seemed clear that this was a lake where fairies appeared.

“What are you guys doing there?”

“Ahh… ! I asked who it was and it turned out to be Chef Victor… ! We are the nymph sisters of NV Company and are trying to get along… !”

I don’t know what it is.

They’re probably just playing around.

“This month’s newspaper is publishing a special issue on nymphs… ! Hoeh… !”

There is also Hoenoi.

It’s good to be friendly with each other.

“Victor, what is going on in this fairy lake…” “?” ? Are you here to make delicious slushies for Arnoy and his nymph sisters who are having a hard time playing in the water? ?”

“No.”

Chuuk.

All the nymphs drooped at my answer.

These guys are easy to understand.

“Instead, if you come to the club room in two hours, I will cut up a watermelon for you.”

“Indeed, Victor is a friend of nymphs… ! It’s very nymph-friendly… !”

“Yes.”

“Why is the response so dull… ? ?”

“Yes!”

The nymphs seemed satisfied with my enthusiastic response.

Then Ariol says “Ah” And holds out something to me.

“This Ariol, while swimming in this lake, he discovered something amazing…” ” ! It’s a gift for a stubborn chef… !”

Is it by any chance the legendary sword “Caliber”?

Was the story about fairies bringing swords from the lake true?

Zech.

Crash.

“… “This is.”

“It is clearly a great treasure… !”

“I see.”

What Ariol gave me was a rusty dagger.

You gave me the dagger that was in the water.

「Dagger that fell into the lake: A dagger that looks quite ornately decorated. It appears to have been a valuable item in its own right before it rusted. It’s like you can’t even peel an apple.”

It’s subtle.

If it is destroyed, it can be used as “Scrap metal,” Which is the basic material for crafting.

Since I received the gift, let me say thank you.

“Thank you, Ariol.”

Suk suk.

As I stroked Ariol’s wet hair, Ariol said, “There are a lot of these things in this lake…” ” ” ! There will be a lot to pick up in the future… !” He said in excitement.

Will nymphs’ visits to the lake continue in the future?

Maybe the nymphs will actually pick up the legendary sword.

Anyway.

“Then everyone, just play quietly.”

I left the lake.

The place I’m heading to is a cabin located near the lake.

A cabin with an apple tree planted in it.

“Is it here?”

Nothing has changed from the game.

One thing that is unfamiliar is that the apples are golden in color.

「Golden Apples: Crunchy and delicious summer apples.」

As I picked an apple and put it in my sleeve, the cabin door suddenly opened.

“Who is picking my apples carelessly?”

I heard a rather somber female voice.

When she turned her head, she saw short black hair inside the cabin.

The skin was as white as snow or ice, and the eyes were as cold as icicles.

“Morgan.”

“Call me Eris. She might confuse that name with another representative, Morian.”

“Representative Eris.”

When I called her name her correctly, her expression her relaxed as if her anger her had subsided.

That alone made the atmosphere around me feel a lot more relaxed.

“Victor. I don’t know why the most famous person in the academy came to Eris’ office in her. “Let’s come inside first.”

Slurp.

Representative Eris disappeared into the cabin.

After taking a few deep breaths, I entered the cabin.

Saaa-.

There was a chill inside the cabin that was unsuitable for late summer.

There is also a strange chemical smell.

Gag-gul-.

A frog in formalin was crying with its stomach half open, puffing out its cheeks, and it was quite a chilling sight.

It’s not just frogs.

━Gegegeongge Garigegeong.

━KongKong.

Gecko lizard.

Even to me, seeing animals like dogs and squirrels being ‘stuffed alive’ was a bit of a horrible and inhumane sight.

━Churi Churit!

What kind of animal is that?

Is it a bird?

Anyway, seeing animals with half-dissected bodies, unable to die and stuffed in formalin containers, reminded me of a nightmare from my childhood.

Even at D&A, I hated coming here because of the particularly gloomy atmosphere.

Maybe that’s why Eris was someone I couldn’t get attached to even as she got older.

“You can sit on the sofa.”

Eris appeared carrying a tray.

There was tea in the cup that was bright red like her blood, but I couldn’t tell what it was brewed with.

“So, what brought you to visit me? Victor, you’ve been avoiding me.”

“I was avoiding you?”

“No?”

“…”

That’s right.

I was avoiding Eris on purpose.

But.

There is no particular reason for visiting such a guy.

“There is an object I want to entrust to you for appraisal.”

Eris, who appears in this lake cabin, plays the role of an appraiser NPC.

Like Enio, he can be said to be an expert in his own way when it comes to dealing with black magic.

“It’s an emotion.”

“I will do it in return.”

“Before you reciprocate, you and I are not in a relationship where we can empathize with each other’s feelings. “I think it would be right to do my favor first before asking for a favor, right?”

As expected.

Like Enio, warlocks are thorough in giving and receiving.

Price and sacrifice.

If you don’t have these things, they won’t listen to you.

Of course, I liked that one too.

Give and take.

It’s neat.

And this is the reaction I expected.

In the first place, you can meet Eris as an appraiser NPC after clearing the sub-quest “The Witch of Discord and Her Servants.”

If my prediction is correct.

Now this guy will say this.

━I was just thinking that I needed an assistant these days.

“I was just thinking that I needed an assistant these days.”

As expected.

Even in this situation, there is a sense of pleasure in knowing that things are going as expected, like filling in the right pieces of a puzzle.

Eris said.

“Even though she is an assistant, she is not something grandiose. The only thing they can do is bring me the materials I ask for or watch the experiment from my side. Animal assistants were useless.”

━Croak.

“Be quiet, Pepe. You said you were locked up there as punishment for breaking the dish last time. “If you keep being noisy, you’ll get an extra week.”

“…”

“Anyway, animals are like this. Only if you punish them will they understand you. But if you were a human, you would listen to me a little better, right?”

“By any chance, if I make a mistake, will I be punished? “It gets put in formalin like that.”

“You don’t have to make mistakes.”

What kind of answer is that?

But it was a sufficient answer.

Eris’ sub-quest “Discord Witch and Minions” Was the only sub-quest that gave a bad ending if failed.

If the quest fails, the main character Luke turns into an ‘animal’.

That’s the end of the game.

As a child who was moved by junk food in front of an elementary school stationery store, I was shocked by the development of a side quest with a bad ending, and I have been afraid of Eris ever since.

Just looking at Eris beyond the monitor made me feel uncomfortable.

Even more so, a living, moving 4D Eris.

You have no choice but to avoid it.

Of course, it cannot be avoided now.

I need to get an appraisal.

“Good night. “Let me be your temporary assistant.”

The content of the sub-quest is obvious anyway.

Picking golden apples, collecting monster eyeballs, etc.

These are quests that I have never failed in since I was shocked when I first saw the BED ending.

You can do well in Ludens, which has become a reality.

Zech.

At that time, Eris took out a piece of paper.

“Then let’s write a contract. This is a soul contract. It must be written without any lies. Every paragraph, every piece of content. Even one letter of your name. “If there is even the slightest lie, you will be punished.”

“Bee?”

“Yes, it is a curse on the soul. It’s going to be scary. As powerful as the resentment of the nymphs. However, if Victor hates lies more than anyone else and is honest, it probably doesn’t matter.”

Palak.

Eris finally put down the paper in front of me.

“This…”

And the questions written there were quite embarrassing.
