I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 412



412 – Orca #1

412 – Orca #1

Western Forest.

About two days have passed since I got out of there.

The time after that was quite peaceful.

If I had to point out something that was busy and difficult, it would be preparing to explore Tartarus, an eternal hell located underground.

Conference room.

I sat down at the table and spoke to everyone around me.

“Tartaros is a place where many high-level monsters and evil spirits with a danger level of about 70 appear. Items like “Insect Repelling Grass” And “Requiem Incense” Don’t work, so you can’t avoid battle.”

There was no way to avoid encountering monsters, which meant that you had to engage in a war of attrition with the enemies you continually encountered during your exploration.

Then Enio asked.

“Then is there a ‘rest room’? The room with the fountain. The rule was that there was always one in each dungeon. A place where you can recover your stamina.”

“No. Doesn’t exist. Because Tartarus is a special place. Rather, there are only a lot of penalties.”

In a dungeon, there is no “Rest room” As it should be.

Also, even if you defeat monsters, the ‘Recovery Item’ series does not drop.

It is not self-sufficient.

You have to survive with only the consumables you brought with you.

“If my information is correct, there will be a ‘sanctuary’. A place where you can receive special blessings. Depending on which sanctuary you encounter, your survival rate will increase significantly.”

In the case of ‘Adventure God’s Sanctuary’, the probability of rare items appearing in treasure chests or harvesting loot after battle was increased by 5%.

Since Tartarus was a place to supply high-level dungeon, unique, or artifact items, I remember that the increase in the probability of obtaining it was helpful in many ways.

But.

We weren’t trying to catch monsters and do item farming.

“This is a list of sanctuaries to find first. First of all, in the case of ‘Warrior God’s Sanctuary’, attack power is simply increased by 30%. Powerful. Again—.”

Swish, swish, swish-.

No, something has been bothering my knees since a while ago.

As I glance under the table from the corner of my eye, Enio’s black stocked feet, which were reaching towards my knees, stop.

“Victor, why do you stop while talking?”

Enio asked as if he knew nothing.

Since earlier, he had been touching my knee with his foot under the table.

After returning from the western forest, Enio touched me like this knowingly or unknowingly.

“Victor, why aren’t you talking?”

“…”

Swish, swish, swish-.

Enio’s feet his start touching my knee again.

That’s how it will come out.

I grabbed Enio’s soles.

“…”

Enio seemed fine.

So, I try to tickle him a little with my finger.

Epilepsy.

“…”

Enio seemed more casual than expected.

However, when I saw it twitching occasionally, it seemed like it was just holding back the tickling.

So how about this?

I pressed the Yongcheonhyeol (湧泉穴) located slightly above the center of the sole with my thumb, which was softer and slimmer than expected. An acupuncture point that is said to raise even the dead.

Pressing it is very good for your health.

“Hi!”

Enio lifted his buttocks 10cm into the air while sitting on a chair.

Soon Nike asked, “What’s wrong?” Enio frowned and said, “It’s nothing.”

However, his expression looks quite pouty.

He even glances at me.

Slurrr-Enio’s legs falling off my lap.

Are you sulking?

Now that Enio has shaken off Nyx’s darkness, it’s easier to understand his inner thoughts, which is cute.

Anyway.

“Now that we’ve organized the items we need to take care of, it’s a good idea to take as much as we can each. Then, does anyone have any questions?”

I asked around.

Then Arnoy raised his hand.

“What should I do with this Arnoy? This Arnoy also wants to do something… !”

It’s Arnoy’s role.

This guy and the nymphs are also worthy members of our club.

Since I will be a board member of NV Company someday, I will have to play an important role here.

“I hope you nymphs, including Arnoi and Ariol, have plenty of swords. It doesn’t matter what the quality or grade is.”

“Indeed… ! I mean, I want to know… ! Speaking of the sword, this Arnoy recently saw a mysterious sparkle in the Fairy Lake… This is what I found… ! I’m going to go and check again today… !”

A mysterious sparkle on the shore of a fairy lake?

Is the exploration of Excalibur almost complete?

I hope so.

The reason I am collecting swords is because the final battle with Orca is just around the corner.

Let me check one thing first.

“Enio, are you sure that Orca was in the underground dungeon?”

I asked.

Then Enio, who had been pouting, spoke with narrowed eyes.

“I’m sure because I heard it from interrogating Tisiphone. It is said that Orca’s headquarters was located in the basement of Ludens Academy. “It is a difficult place to enter because the roads are complicated and there are many traps.”

“I see.”

I was curious where this guy’s headquarters was.

Now it seems that Orca had her base in the Ludens underground dungeon, which is closely related to Tartarus.

It would have been a great hiding place because no one would come near it.

“I don’t know the exact location?”

“Well. “I don’t know that much.”

I guess so.

It can’t be helped.

It was then.

Nike tilted his head.

“So, what is Victoria doing that you can’t see?”

He must have been puzzled by the empty seat of Victorica for the past few days.

It seems that Flora, the larger Victorica, and the smaller Victorica have no idea where they have gone. Just when I was starting to wonder about Victorica’s whereabouts, Nike asked.

“Could it be that he has ‘rabies’? I heard that these days, naughty raccoons are showing up in parks and all over the city and biting people. “If you get bitten, you have to be quarantined.”

Enio also pretended to know about that.

“I heard it too. Are you saying that the symptoms are as if you are in a state of confusion? Maybe even Victoria got bitten by an evil raccoon.”

“It’s spread by raccoons, not raccoons!”

Nike and Enio look at each other and grow.

Seriously, Victorica got bitten by a raccoon?

Are you in quarantine because of rabies?

It was a time when I thought it was unlikely.

Knock, knock-.

Someone knocked on the conference room door.

“Who is it?”

“This Arnoy is opening it… ” !”

It was Arnoy who ran and opened the door.

But there was no one behind the door that flew open.

Instead, it is just a piece of paper.

“Photo?”

It was a photo of the large and majestic clock tower in downtown Ludens.

The time in the photo shows 8 o’clock sharp.

There is only one person in Ludens who can do such a mysterious thing.

“Let’s end today’s meeting for now. Everyone can disperse.”

* * *

It was already about 50 minutes after 7 p.M.

An autumn evening when the world becomes so dark that it becomes difficult to tell whether what is coming from afar is a dog or a wolf.

I went out to downtown Ludens and wandered around in front of the clock tower.

“…”

Since the Ludens Clock Tower is a tourist attraction in its own right, it was crowded with island residents and tourists from the kingdom.

Perhaps because of the colder weather, it wasn’t uncommon to see people wearing long clothes and coats.

It is not easy to recognize the faces of people wearing hats or robes.

“This guy and that guy all look suspicious.”

Tick, tick.

How long have you been listening to the sound of the hour and minute hands of a huge clock moving?

Deeeeeng, deeeeeng-.

The sound of the clock tower rang loudly.

The bell rings at 8 p.M. Sharp.

It was when I looked up at the clock at the sound that was louder than expected.

Woowoouk-.

A cool wind blew from somewhere.

For an autumn night’s wind, it is unusually cold and bitter.

Even the cigarette-like smell of magic vinegar hit me and I felt like I was dizzy.

“Hey. Here.”

“…”

Soon I saw a man wearing deep brown robes standing in front of me.

He is as tall as me.

Only the lower part of his face was exposed, but that alone was enough to tell that he was a handsome man.

A sword was worn on his waist

The hand is not on the sword hilt.

He said.

“My younger brother. They say you attacked your father. Thanks to that, he suffered quite a few injuries and is receiving treatment from Saint Jeanne.”

Is this the story of Victorica?

Cain and Victorica clashed.

I feel like I now know the full story of how her her famous sword is her her, “Zhuwaiyu Zhi” Ended up at my waist her her her her.

“Did you call me to say that?”

I asked.

Then Orca, the sender of the mysterious letter, grins under the hood of his robe.

“How about taking a walk? “You probably have a lot of things you want to say to me.”

Clap-.

Instead of answering verbally, I placed my hand on the hilt of Juwayuse’s golden sword.

This would have sufficiently conveyed my opinion.

“Yes, Victor, you have always been an unfriendly and inflexible guy.”

Clap-.

Orca also put his hand on the sword at his waist

I have the will to fight.

“So, are you going to have a game here? “A lot of people would get caught up in it.”

“…”

There are a lot of people.

From noble mtl dot come

There will be people getting hurt.

It seemed like Orca was aiming for that and called me to this clock tower.

It’s annoying because he’s the type that uses subtle tricks in many ways.

“What do you want to say?”

I only asked Orca about business.

Then she said as if the Orca guy had been waiting.

“Victor, I salute you. “You will be the only Viktor who has survived this far, even among the many world lines and predestined fates I have seen.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Somewhere, I, who survived to adulthood, may be having a bittersweet relationship with a junior I met while working part-time at a bar.”

“… ?”

Orca tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

Then, she clapped her hands as if it was okay.

“Anyway, Viktor, my plan is perfect. If you just remove the variable called you, it will run perfectly. I want to get rid of you right now, but you’re like my brother. “Let me make a suggestion.”

“I refuse.”

“You’re rejecting me without even hearing it. There is no change. But I’ll let you speak as you please. I’m seriously aiming for the peak. Become the winner and become ‘God.’ And I will change this world.”

“…”

“Of course, this world line that is now set will be destroyed. But everyone moves on to the next episode and starts all over again. Under my control as the new master of entertainment. Everyone can be happy.”

“…”

“So I propose, Viktor. Just stay still. Don’t even say anything about joining hands with me. Just stay still. Doing what you want to do. Either marry my sister or not. I don’t care if you form a harem with other women. But don’t get in my way.”

“What can I gain by not disturbing you?”

I asked.

Then, white teeth are revealed under the robe.

“Can we understand each other now? Okay, I’m not the kind of person who offers things for nothing in return. I’ll make you the main character in the next episode. Luke, instead of that kid.”

In other words, it means becoming a leading actor on the stage that Orca is preparing.

It wasn’t a particularly bad suggestion.

It would be fun if I could become the main character just by staying still.

“What do you think?”

An orca pretending to hold out its hand.

A clicking sound comes from the guy’s wrist.

I told that guy.

“Orca, if you were a bit more kind-hearted, you might have listened to your suggestion. But I will still decline this offer. Let me ask you something. “Where did you get that bracelet?”

Old and broken seashell.

And it was a bracelet made by plaiting thin ropes together.

It looks exactly like the one I saw on the wrist of Medea, the owner of the western forest, not long ago.

It was so crude that it didn’t occur to me that there could be two such items in the world. Then the Orca spoke as if he had been waiting.

“This? This is an item called “Bracelet of Promise.” In the Land of the Gods, we mortals receive a debuff every second, and this can negate it.”

“Getting it means—.”

“Kill monsters and gain experience and items─. It’s a simple rule that even young children can understand. Is there anything you want to ask about that? “I originally wanted to get ‘permanent ginseng’.”

I guess so.

I just want to ask one question.

“Orca, were the dryads of the western forest just monsters to you? Monsters that give items and experience points when killed. Was the dryad just that kind of role to you?”

“Victor, even though I haven’t seen you, you have become a man who can tell jokes. Do dryads have a role other than killing adventurers or being killed by adventurers? “It’s a field boss made to be defeated.”

“…”

I think I know for sure now.

The reason why I want to reject Orca’s offer.

“Orca, the people of the world you will manage as a god will ultimately be nothing more than chess pieces. You will have to follow the perfect rules that you will make. In the end, it’s just a life like a prison.”

“Are you saying you’re rejecting the offer? As expected, my attempt to persuade you was unreasonable. I still do stupid things too. I did that because I really thought of you as a brother. Not anymore, though—.”

An orca shaking its head.

The guy took off his robe.

It’s dazzling because of the platinum hair that appears under the moonlight and street lights.

But what was even more dazzling was the sword pulled out from the guy’s waist.

A pure white famous sword.

「Arondite」.

It is Orca’s exclusive weapon.

“As a final act of mercy, I will let you go without even having time to feel pain.”

Orca seemed willing to come out and fight in this place full of citizens.

Rather than holding citizens hostage, it would be to not even care about them.

To this guy, citizens were NPCs.

It won’t matter how many people die.

That’s because he truly thinks that he can become a ‘god’ and reset.

No matter what, this vacant lot is unfavorable to me.

“Can’t we do it? “I’ll show you my skills, called Ludens’ iron dog.”

Hmm-.

I took a deep breath.

And he tore my clothes with his hands and shouted.

Buuuk, buuuk.

“Hieeeeek!!!”

“What? What did you just say!”

“I don’t know!”

People’s attention was immediately drawn to the loud sound.

Without missing the opportunity, I took the bridge pose and crawled around wildly.

“Arr, huh, keung! “Grrrr, growl, growl!”

I was a dog.

It’s not just a dog, it’s a crazy dog.

People look at me and scream at me because of that intense appearance.

“… “Wow, you’re crazy!!!”

“It looks like he has rabies! The symptoms are the same! It’s serious! I could never do something like that in my right mind! I guarantee it!!!”

“Run! “If you get bitten by an infected person, you’ll be in big trouble!”

“Help me!” Move! “Please save me!”

“aaah!!!”

It seems that Nike’s words that rabies were prevalent were true.

My little antics caused people to panic and run out of the park.

“Good.”

Now there are no citizens worthy of becoming Orca’s hostage.

I shook my palms and woke up.

Then Orca, who was quietly watching this scene, frowned.

“… What was that just now? Victor, have you finally turned around?”

It looks like this guy was so embarrassed that he couldn’t even attack me.

I told him.

“This is who I am now. In order to win and survive, you pretend to be crazy or do anything. Orca, you looked down on me for surviving until now.”
