I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 239

Episode 239
Episode 239. Modify the rabbit (1)
That afternoon, at the training ground.
I was lost in thought as I watched Luna and Regé playing around.
‘Midterms are just around the corner. The real episodes will begin soon.’
Alex, Raymond, Rodelyn, Yuridia, and Victoria.
This is the first episode where all the main characters join together, and it signals the beginning of the game in earnest.
‘Carpathian Dispatch.’
Suddenly, a riot of dark magicians and demons began throughout the empire.
The Empire sends troops to deal with them, and Lizvelt appears in the defenseless Carpathia, and ‘erosion’ takes root.
If you don’t remove the ‘host’ before the roots are fully established, you will never be able to remove the erosion.
A situation where the land at the center of the empire may turn into a land of death.
The Empire turned its forces to the Carpathians, but until then they needed ‘something’ to buy time.
Eventually, the empire pulls out its ‘trump card’.
A desperate plan to ‘send students from Annwood Academy’.
‘Only the second and third year students will be deployed to the battlefield. The plan was for the first year students to be in charge of search and supply.’
Of course, as is always the case with plans, things don’t always go as planned.
Lower-level demons appear and attack the students, sprinkling blood on the battlefield.
At the moment when the children are in danger, the main characters come together and fight against them.
– That would be the central theme of the ‘Carpathian Invasion’ episode.
By the way, the boss monster does not appear. This is because this is a mid-section episode, not the end of Chapter 2.
On the other hand, there were named monsters. Four of them.
It’s a battlefield where there are four guys who can use [Predation].
A chance to get four skills for free!
‘Of course, there is something else I’m really after.’
Yes. This time, what I’m aiming for is a named monster that the main characters missed, and a legendary demon that users have never caught before.
The 6th level demon, Marvelga.
-Killing him. That was my real goal.
‘The plan is perfectly set. The problem is… … .’
Firepower. Firepower was the problem.
The reason why users haven’t been able to catch Marvel until now was simple.
It was because the firepower, the ‘attack power’, was lacking.
When Marvel falls into a dying state, it flies into the sky and escapes, creating a defensive barrier.
The number is a whopping 10,000.
The problem is that you have to destroy this within 1 turn.
Since we’ve just entered the middle of Chapter 2, the main characters’ secret skills damage is only 300-400.
But, to deal 10,000 damage in one turn, and that too with only ranged attacks? It was impossible.
of course.
‘But this doesn’t apply to me right now.’
A title that increases attack power, and stat increases through training in [Mimicry of God] and [Fleur Family], which allows the use of fraudulent attack skills.
The Holy Sword, which is considered rat poison to the devil, and [Pitch Black], which doubles the final damage.
‘What if a critical hit occurs here?’
Even if you’re not very good, you should be able to inflict about 5,000 damage.
So the problem is how to deal the remaining 5,000 damage… … .
“Squeak!”
“Rege, why are you suddenly like this?”
“Wow, I have an ominous feeling that someone is plotting something terrible… … .”
Regé immediately went into alert mode.
It looks like he’s going to run away at any moment.
‘That’s why I don’t like quick-witted brats.’
Yes, the child who will take care of the remaining 5,000 damage.
It was none other than Reje.
‘A powerful long-range single dealer. No character can keep up with Legion of the Bamboo Spear.’
However, with Reze’s current specs, he is short about 2 to 3 thousand.
That is, there was only one thing I had to do before being dispatched.
‘I’m going to transform that pufferfish rabbit into a super cannon rabbit!’
Of course, it wasn’t easy.
‘Power is power, but you have to fix your weak heart that can’t kill a living being.’
Since the emergence of the ‘Magic Gun’, Reze has been a character that many users have studied.
With over a hundred articles being posted every day, it goes without saying how active the research was and how much interest it received from users.
That’s why the old Regé was finally abandoned.
There was a reason for leaving the battlefield when the general attack technique called wide-area technique was activated, but there was a bigger reason than that.
‘The critical hit didn’t happen.’
One for you, one for me. A spear build that makes it fair for everyone.
For that, ‘critical’ was essential.
As in any game, a critical hit that allows you to inflict 1.5 to 2 times more damage. Also known as a ‘critical.’
But no matter how much you raise your stats, no matter how much you target vital points, and no matter how much you use items and mystical powers to increase your critical hit chance to 100%.
None of Reze’s attacks were critical hits. Not even once.
-Isn’t it a bug?
-It must be a setting.
-Carrot! Carrot!
-Oh, this is a really crappy setting. What kind of settings are these?
-Carrots are great! Join the ‘Carrot Group’! Get a free carrot grown by me who resembles Rege!
Ongoing research, users’ hearts exploding instead of critical, and endless carrot eating!
So people started leaving Reze one by one.
The last words left by Carrot Dan, who was left alone to study Leger until the end, were as follows.
-9th year as a hero of the Academy. I’m leaving now. I have someone to protect in place of Regé.
This is information I found out by chance while talking, but it seems that Reze is afraid of killing. It seems to be related to the setting where critical hits don’t explode… … I don’t know how to fix it.
I’m shameless, but I’ll leave the recipe to you all. Everyone, eat lots of carrots!
So the last remaining carrot group left.
With a picture of his daughter who looks exactly like Regé.
‘The fear of killing… … It’s a headache.’
Changing a character’s ‘heart’ in this game is both easy and difficult.
It means to do as you please.
‘It won’t be an easy situation. No one has ever succeeded.’
Above all, chance, growth, elixir, and mystery.
I would be sorry to eat it myself, so I feed it to that rabbit? And then he runs away from the battlefield?
You’ll die in a fire right there.
But what if.
‘What if Regé succeeds in overcoming his fear and lands a critical hit?’
The ‘Spear of Reze’ build, which maximizes the skills of the magic gun and Reze, is a build that goes all-in on attack power.
It’s already powerful, but if it explodes, most guys will fall in one hit.
This means that you can kill the enemy before he uses his AoE ability.
‘Anyway, it’s impossible to change Reze’s personality right now.’
In other words, now Reze has to deal ‘5000’ damage with only pure damage, without any critical hits.
So, from today until the dispatch, I was going to seriously harass the rabbit… no, I was going to make it stronger.
There’s a carrot, a training ground, a legion, and a whip(?) for encouragement.
Everything was good, except one thing.
“Hmm~ Is this your private training ground? Not bad.”
… …except that Adonis is here.
Why is he here?
“I had a deep conversation with Charon. He did a lot of great things, even more than I thought.”
“Haha, thank you for the compliment.”
“You even turned down the offer from the rat? That’s really brave of you. Hahahahahahaha!”
Clap! Clap!
Adonis patted my back, saying something was so good.
Grandpa, don’t hit me. You’ll bleed.
I’m not kidding. My HP was seriously depleted.
“Coolook, coolook!”
The pain was so bad I felt like vomiting blood!
Could it be that Victoria also became so sickly after being beaten by Adonis?
It was when I thought it was a reasonable doubt.
Luna suddenly got up and ran towards us.
“Hey! I told you not to bother my friend!”
“When did I say I bullied him? This kid is weak, that’s why he’s like that. Hey, tsk tsk. I guess I should make him some medicine.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll build it for you!”
“Haha, you’re right.”
“Eww! This is killing me!”
Luna, don’t ask! You’ll die if you do!
But contrary to my worries, Luna quietly returned to her place.
Adonis just looked at the sight and smiled faintly.
“He’s a good boy. Isn’t he?”
I could feel the subtle air flowing between Luna and Adonis.
There is something. Something I don’t know about.
no way……!
‘Is this love?’
… … I think it was passed on to Yuridia.
That couldn’t be possible. Love. It was ridiculous.
I’m not sure, but that’s probably why Luna doesn’t rush at Adonis.
‘I guess they’ve been sorted out.’
Go to Adonis, challenge him to a duel, lose, get depressed, bite off my head.
It’s a perfect introduction, development, turn and conclusion.
‘So that’s why you got hurt. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, so it doesn’t matter… … .’
Whether or not you used ‘Ilseom’ was important.
Luna’s daydream isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty good now.
Above all, there was no way to avoid Adonis’s discerning eye.
Adonis discovers the existence of Luna, the sole survivor of the Lester family?
This was a pretty big problem.
‘Because you never know what variables might arise.’
As Luna’s story unfolds, I can get involved, or I can leave my party and go for revenge.
Although unlikely, Adonis could have presented Luna’s head to the Emperor.
The character you’ve been raising with care since the start of the game leaves the party or dies?
There was nothing as big as this.
“Hmm… … By the way, Zero, you’re doing something quite dangerous. Not only are you raising a loyal vassal, but you’re also raising an assassin. Are you dreaming of assassination?”
“… …An assassin?”
“There he is. A truly fearsome assassin!”
Where Adonis pointed, there was a rabbit.
I’m talking about Reze, who fell over while moving the magic gun.
‘That’s… an assassin?’
Indeed, as Adonis said, he was a truly fearsome assassin.
Because that kid is the only assassin in the world who will get run over by his own gun!
“Haha, you misunderstood. That’s just an ornamental rabbit.”
“Ornamental? Why do you grow such things?”
“Because if I don’t take him with me, some kid will bite me.”
Adonis nodded as he looked at Luna.
“So, is that girl Luna dreaming of assassination? She’s a scary girl, despite her looks.”
… … Where on earth did Adonis’ thinking go wrong?
First of all, I have to prove that Regé is a safe child. Otherwise, I think something quite troublesome will happen.
“Haha, it doesn’t make sense that Reze is an assassin. Look at that weak figure!”
Reze was literally like a rabbit in the meadow.
Weak muscles that can cause you to get crushed by your own gun.
Poor physical condition that makes it impossible to run for even a minute.
Rabbits raised organically(?).
In short, it means that the child is 100% harmless.
“Can a child like that commit an assassination? It is absolutely impossible.”
“Certainly… … I see. It seems it was my misunderstanding. I’m sorry.”
“Haha, it’s okay. It’s enough that the misunderstanding has been resolved.”
“By the way, that magic gun… … It’s a fascinating thing. Technological advancements are always amazing. I’d like to see it fired, would that be okay?”
“As much as you want.”
Just then, Reze finished preparing to fire.
Reze’s gun was aimed at the wooden doll.
“Hmm… … As expected. The presence is faint. Even though it’s so close. What a mysterious child.”
“So that’s why you thought he was an assassin. Don’t worry. As you can see, he has a hard time firing even one shot.”
“Didn’t you give that kid a weapon that’s too heavy? I wonder if he’ll be able to shoot it properly.”
Now, Regé shoots his gun, Adonis leaves the training ground after confirming the power, Luna trains hard, and I swing my whip and train Regé.
I thought, ‘Everyone will have a happy day.’
It was that very moment.
Luna, who was next to him, began whispering something unknown into Reze’s ear.
Regé nodded and pulled the lever.
The [Overcharge] skill attached to the magic gun. This was the lever to use it.
Mana swirled inside the magic gun.
A small storm made of blue mana.
‘Hey guys… … ?’
Boom!
Manatan was fired, and the aftereffects caused Adonis and I to have our bangs blown back.
Penetration, penetration, penetration!!
Kwajijijijik-!!
The wooden doll that was hit directly by Manatan disappeared.
It’s not broken. It just evaporated.
One of Reze’s skills, the overwhelming density of mana due to [Concentration S].
It was enough to vaporize the wooden doll.
“… … .”
Adonis had a blank expression on his face, his bangs slicked back.
Luna put her thumb up on her neck and laid it to the side. And… … .
Jiiiiiiiiik-.
… … He drew it sideways. It was a gesture that suggested he was going to cut off your neck.
Adonis looked at me. His eyes spoke.
‘If that’s not an assassin, then what is it?’
– He said.
