I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 215
Only Krnovel
Episode 215
Episode 215. The Third Force (1)
Currently I have 100pt.
Clear the fifth main quest to gain Lucia’s recognition, and earn 20pts by leveling up.
‘Fulfill the surprising conditions and get 50pt as an additional reward.’
By adding the points I already had, I ended up with exactly 100pts.
Here is the ‘Stele of the Lost Mountain God’ that increases your luck stat.
I want to gamble on potential right now, but I have to hold back.
Because you might end up with a passive skill that is visible externally.
“How about this, you can trust my abilities to this extent?”
“Haha, didn’t that take too long?
“When did I ask you to do this? If we’re going by the novel, it was about 50 episodes ago… … Oh my. I can’t even remember.”
“Sarcasm… … I couldn’t help it. Do you know how hard it is to avoid the gaze of Lord Caron and the other rats?”
If Scarlett’s words were true, it would be praiseworthy.
And one more thing to praise.
‘You don’t lie, do you?’
Scarlett must have noticed that this stone monument held mystical powers.
Mystery is a mysterious power that cannot be proven by the science and magic of this world.
People say it’s a ‘gift from God’, so Scarlett must have been greedy.
‘You could have made an excuse that someone else took it after you took it, but you just took it anyway.’
Suddenly, I became curious about his thoughts.
“Hehe, why didn’t you take it?”
“Because it’s not an ‘eternal snowflake.’”
Eternal Snow Flower.
It is one of the mysteries and the material to save my younger sister who has a disease that makes her whole body stiff.
“It sounds like I would have taken it if it had been an eternal snow flower… … Am I imagining it?”
“Of course. That’s our contract.”
Be honest. You don’t lie when you have the opportunity to build trust.
‘Good.’
In fact, the ‘stone of the lost mountain god’ that Scarlett brought was not for a successful potential gamble.
An experiment to see if there is a trustworthy being, a being that can become my hands and feet.
The intention was greater.
Scarlett, who will become famous in the future and be called ‘the jack of all trades’.
But I know little about him.
So I did a simple experiment. With something I wouldn’t mind losing.
The result is a passing grade.
In particular, I liked the movement of the guarding Charon and other rats.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“Haha, I guess so.”
“How did you know how to obtain the mystery safely?”
After telling me the location of the mysterious shrine, I told him to bow three hundred times and then destroy the shrine.
There are often ‘conditions’ required to obtain a mystery. But do you know exactly what those conditions are?
It was natural for Scarlett to have questions.
‘In games, you are not given a choice.’
– Bow three hundred times and show respect
-Just beat it to pieces
Two options:
So, you have no choice but to know the conditions.
But I can’t tell you the truth about this.
“The stone monument in front of the shrine. That’s what it says there.”
“… … You can interpret ancient languages?”
“Haha, is that so?”
It’s not a lie.
Because several years ago, users joined forces and succeeded in deciphering 90% of the ancient languages.
And I knew that 90% perfectly.
‘Come to think of it… I guess I can fill in the remaining 10% now.’
[Translation S] skill given when starting the game.
If you can even interpret the language of demons, you should be able to interpret ancient languages ??without any problem.
“Then why didn’t you collect it yourself? You could have done it yourself.”
I felt like I had to cut it off at this point.
Scarlett is someone who needs to be my hands and feet. It’s not good if she asks too many questions.
When your hands and feet start thinking.
‘Because there’s nothing more annoying than that.’
After using the [Open Eyes] skill, I lowered my voice as much as possible.
“… … You have a lot of questions.”
Scarlett flinched as she met my eyes.
After walking a couple of steps at a leisurely pace, I was able to stand next to him.
“You just focus on getting the Eternal Snowflake. Why don’t I retrieve it myself, how did I find the mystery, what am I going to use it for… .”
Gulp.
I could hear Scarlett swallowing.
Then he whispered softly in his ear.
“Is that more important than your sister?”
Scarlett’s body trembled violently, and her eyes became quite serious.
I won’t harbor useless curiosity. I’ll just think about saving my sister.
I must have organized my thoughts like that.
[Open your eyes] skill was deactivated and a closing comment was made.
“Curiosity is one of the natural desires of humans. Well, I won’t stop you. But you will never be able to obtain the eternal snowflake.”
A warning not to cross the line.
Scarlett is smart, so she would have understood this much.
“… … I understand. This won’t happen again.”
A smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.
‘I guess I won’t have to argue with Scarlett anymore.’
Because just having a head-to-head battle with Caron is enough.
“Oh, in this situation, it’s a bit like that… … but can I ask you just one thing?”
“Haha, you’re so confident. What is it?”
“You destroyed the shrine to get that stone tablet. By any chance… … you won’t be cursed, right?”
Are even the rats of the world afraid of ghosts?
Scarlett’s eyes shook slightly.
“Oh, come to think of it… … What was that thing you had on your shoulder earlier? It’s something dark and looks like a ghost… … .”
“Heeeeek!”
Scarlett jumped up.
I see. Rats can catch people and devils, but not ghosts?
You bastards from another world! Don’t ever ignore the K-Marines of the Republic of Korea again!
“Don’t you ever play that trick again!”
Scarlett shuddered.
I thought to myself as I lightly patted his shoulder.
I don’t think it will work out. We should send them to the 2-day, 1-night K-training camp that South Korea is proud of…
It was a time when I was going through brain freezes in my head.
“You, what are you doing now?”
It was Luna. She was holding dessert in both hands, her eyes trembling.
What are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m comforting you?
Well, in a way, it was natural. Our Luna is a clueless child.
Cast cast cast-.
He rubbed Scarlett’s shoulder.
At this point, Luna should be able to understand this situation.
But why? Luna’s mouth opened wide.
The strange thing is, everyone in the restaurant reacts the same way as Luna.
“Hey, you pervert!”
“yes?”
“Hey, now you’re reaching out to me too? I trusted you… …!”
I looked at Scarlett.
Well, she looks like a very kind lady. She’s put on a lot of makeup.
Only then could I understand the current situation.
In the eyes of other people, ‘What the hell is that scoundrel doing, carelessly manipulating that lady’s body!’
It must have looked just like that.
I was glad that they called me a pervert.
“It is a misunderstanding.”
Right, Scarlett?
Scarlett whispered in my ear.
“I’ll tell you in advance, this is acting. It’s not because I’m annoyed with you, but because I have to avoid people’s attention. I believe you understand. It’s definitely not because you’re teasing me.”
“… … ?”
Scarlett smiled meaningfully.
This kid, no way… … .
“Gyaaaah! You pervert!”
A shrill scream burst from Scarlett’s mouth.
At the same time.
The soles of Luna’s shoes filled my vision.
That was my last memory of the restaurant.
* * *
Rubbing rubbing-.
I rubbed the egg on the bowl.
Because there was a deep bruise on his face. And Luna’s shoe prints were a bonus.
“Hoo hoo hoo… … .”
Still, I didn’t feel bad.
Because the flashy 100pt greeted me.
Even using the excuse of being sick to get rid of the evil spirit Luna!
‘There is no need to endure it any longer.’
Who can stop me from returning to the dorm?
I took out the stele of the mountain god who lost his power in the subspace.
‘There was also the intention of testing whether Scarlett was trustworthy… … .’
Luck +3.
It’s really just a little bit of luck. Maybe something like Reze’s strength?
… … Yes, it exists, but it is a meaningless number.
but.
‘All skills obtained through potential gambling are S-rank.’
However, even for the same S-rank skill, there are ‘levels’, and the probability differs depending on the level.
[Sky Splitting] is the highest level. It can be obtained with a probability of about 0.1%.
[Cleaning] is the lowest level. It can be obtained with a probability of about 3%.
‘Considering the number of skills that exist in this game, 3% is a very high probability.’
This means that there is a very high chance of getting a trash skill like [Cleaning], unless you have the ‘Luck’ stat.
Yes, potential gambling is affected by the ‘Luck’ stat.
That’s why I didn’t gamble my potential until I got the mountain god’s stele.
‘Well, it’s obvious that I’ll be given a crappy skill this time too.’
What do you mean? Look at the skills you’ve gained through potential gambling so far.
[Cleaning], [Extra Senses].
These are skills that will make your heart swell.
If you consider that 20 levels of stat points were spent there, you can see how sad the situation is.
‘Okay, let’s see what kind of trash they give us this time.’
My current potential stat is 7.
I invested 93pts into potential while holding the stone tablet of the mountain god who had lost his power tightly in my hand.
So the skills I gained were… … .
[Your potential stat has reached 100.]
[Hidden powers are unlocked.]
[You have acquired the skill ‘Pitch Black (S)’.]
[Potential stat becomes 0.]
[Pitch Black : S]
-This is the power used by the commander of the original legion.
Final damage is increased by 100%.
Final damage is reduced by 50% against opponents with the Divine Power attribute.
Pitch black affects all powers you use.
It can be enabled/disabled.
Current status: Active
“… … This is a jackpot.”
Yes, it was a huge hit.
100%. A skill that can always inflict double damage.
That’s also double the final damage judgment.
Yes, it is a dog-snatching skill.
Along with [Imitation of God], this is one of the most popular skills and the skill that users most want to obtain.
That was [Pitch Black].
‘Of course, it’s not without its drawbacks.’
There are two drawbacks.
First, only half damage is dealt to opponents with the divine power attribute.
But it doesn’t matter. At that point, you can just ‘deactivate’ it.
The problem is the second drawback.
as soon as…….
‘That you can’t use it in front of people.’
In this world, black symbolizes ominousness.
But it’s pitch black, even darker than that. It’s bound to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
‘And on top of that, I’m using it while squinting my eyes and emitting an ominous aura?’
It was perfect for being skewered and burned at the stake.
In fact, in the game, every time you use the [Black] skill, the favorability of your party members decreases, and it even leads to them leaving the party.
‘It doesn’t matter if you have built a relationship of trust… … .’
It is impossible to build trust with all party members.
Because of this, it was difficult to use the [Black] skill even once per battle.
‘But it’s definitely not a bad skill.’
It is a skill that shows sufficient power even when used only at critical times.
Above all… … .
Zero’s first original secret.
Strike down with all your might.
Hwaruk-!
A pitch-black flame burned along my wooden sword.
Hoong! Hoong!
The same goes for ordinary swings.
A pitch-black flame darker than the deep night scattered.
Yes. [Black]’s greatest advantage and the reason why users wanted it the most.
‘It’s cool… … .’
Do you need any other reason besides that?
It’s a new feeling to see with my own eyes something I’ve only seen in games.
After enjoying the power of [Blackness] to my heart’s content, I changed it to ‘Inactive’ status.
Because if you get noticed by others, you could be burned at the stake.
The potential gamble was completed successfully.
Now.
“Haha, I guess we should move on to the next plan.”
There is no need to hesitate, now that you know that the [Fleur Family] applies to the people here as well.
Spread the training method, and raise the strength of knights, students, and ordinary people.
‘Building up strength to fight against the devil.’
The ‘Zero-type Remodeling Human Plan’, which aims to strengthen all humans on the continent.
It’s time to put that plan into action.
Of course it won’t be easy.
Many people claim that their family’s cultivation method is the most excellent, but do you cultivate a secret technique from a family that you have never heard of?
It was a story that was logically impossible.
but.
If you get help from ‘that person’, it’s a different story.
The head of Annwood Academy and the greatest fool on the continent.
President Dwyer.
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo… … .”
An ominous laugh filled the room.
