I Became a Fortune Teller in the Game My Little Sister Made

Chapter 26
Is This a Class? (1)
『 Translator – Divinity 』

Just like the week, the three days passed quickly.

The things that happened during that time weren’t so simple, but…

“The Saint and Eileen… will be fine, right?”

Actually, even if I didn’t intervene, Eileen’s problem would eventually be resolved.

In the epilogue after the ending, it was mentioned that Eileen Teddybear would awaken as a Saintess after a long period of suffering.

But then, Eileen would suffer until the ending…

‘The Saint is the problem.’

If I hadn’t intervened this time, the would have disappeared from Romance Academy.

In the game, a nun named Ruina noticed that Eileen was a Saintess and ran away, and the player had to persuade the Saint, who chased after and kidnapped her.

In other words, the player was a safety device to prevent the Saint from going off the rails.

‘This time, it got twisted, and he even kidnapped and interrogated her.’

Fortunately, I was able to intervene midway and ‘persuade’ the Saint.

If the Saint started going off the rails here, he would continue to rely on violence and murder, eventually withdrawing from the academy.

After that, he would disappear without a trace, and Eileen would take his place.

Ultimately, everything was resolved, so there was no problem, but…

“Huu…”

…I still seemed to be deeply attached to the past.

Seeing my mother in someone else who was different in face, height, personality, and voice.

I must have been a bit out of my mind because of that. My right eye was still throbbing from overusing .

“……….”

As I lay quietly in bed, organizing my thoughts,

Countless questions arose and disappeared.

What happened to the reality over there, how did Jisu put me in the game, was it really Jisu who sent me here…

Those worries kept popping up.

“Ah, whatever.”

But all of those were meaningless to think about now. Tomorrow will be hectic enough, so I should relax for now.

The entrance ceremony is over, and I’ve finished one event, how can I be this exhausted already?

The days at Romance Academy will truly begin soon. And since I’m in the special class, it will be even tougher.

I took a deep breath and gathered my resolve. It wouldn’t be too late to think about those worries after reaching the ending.

“…And one thing is certain.”

[PS. Do your best!]

That last sentence on the status window, still shining in the corner of my vision.

There’s no way I, as her older brother, wouldn’t remember that phrase that Namgung Jisu always had on her lips like a catchphrase.

Whatever it was, she was definitely involved, so if I investigated after returning, something would come up.

I got out of bed, checked my clothes, and left my base.

With the feeling that I could do it, I strode forward energetically!

“But why is the gathering place a mountain?”

I’ve never seen this kind of start before.

Why does it feel so… ominous?

***

“Welcome, special class students.”

An elderly man with his white hair tied back in a ponytail and an eyepatch over one eye, covered in scars.

He was wearing ordinary clothes with no sense of authority, but the greatsword at his waist swayed menacingly.

With a violent smile on his face, he stood on top of a boulder and looked down at the students.

…Wait, why is that man here?

Isn’t he in charge of outdoor classes and ?

No way?

“One, two, three, four… eight! Everyone’s here.”

As I was watching the elderly swordsman with a sense of foreboding, Liu approached me before Rain, who seemed to be trying to come this way, could.

And then she turned around and gestured to Rain. What was she doing?

“Hey, it’s been a while? Lackey.”

“…Miss Liu. I haven’t given you an answer yet.”

“Shut up. You’re going to accept it anyway, right? Besides, you know you haven’t told me your secret yet, right?”

“Of course. I was planning to tell you after class today.”

Anyway, it’s been three days since I saw her, but Liu Yan was still as arrogant as ever. The dark circles under her eyes were gone, so it seemed like she was sleeping well.

While giving a casual reply to the strangely energetic Liu Yan, I glanced at the elderly swordsman.

“My name is Scarlet Redfield. I’m a so-so swordsman.”

No, even if the strongest person in the world says that…

“Hey, lackey. Be careful of that geezer.”

“Well, he’s Scarlet Redfield.”

Scarlet Redfield. The old swordsman was a character Jisu always gushed about, saying he was the coolest.

This man could be summed up in a single sentence.

That old man is the strongest in the world. Period.

“Well, well, this special class has quite a collection of talented individuals.”

Redfield, seemingly unconcerned about my and Liu’s chatter, looked around at the special class students, each with their own distinct personalities.

“We have the two royals from that country.”

“…It is an honor to be recognized, Mr. Redfield.”

Kim Seong-il and Kim Eun-ha stood upright in a formal posture. Since Prince Kim Seong-il was the future emperor, it seemed like Princess Kim Eun-ha was the one responding.

Anyway, this man was practically equal to the emperor, if not more, so no one was surprised by the princess’s polite words.

They just recognized the old man’s status from this.

“And we have the siblings from that family over there.”

“My name is Lucas Arthur. It is an honor to meet the great hero of Africa!”

“I am Rain Arthur. The honor is mine as well.”

“Haha, it’s good to see young ones being so polite to an old man.”

The Arthur siblings were standing a bit away from the royals, also in a formal posture.

Especially Lucas Arthur, as a meritocrat, seemed somewhat moved to see Scarlet Redfield, the pinnacle of those with strength, in person.

…More importantly, why do they both keep looking this way? Especially Rain, you’re staring intently at Liu and me.

“And we also have the Saint.”

“May the Lord’s grace be with you.”

“That’s good. I’ve been saved by that Lord’s grace or whatever countless times.”

The Saint was standing in the middle of the gathering place with a smile.

Fortunately, he wasn’t looking this way, but… I could still feel that he was very conscious of me.

Well, it was understandable considering what happened a few days ago, but I hope he wouldn’t say anything strange.

“A Hero, this is quite unique.”

“………….”

“It’s good to be reticent.”

Abel Legion was leaning against a tree, the only one who didn’t even respond to Redfield’s words.

For a moment, the eyes of the royal siblings and the Arthur siblings turned towards the Hero, but he just closed his eyes, unconcerned about their gazes.

Redfield also seemed unconcerned and moved on, but that Hero bastard was quite the tough one.

“Ah, the Billionaire.”

“…Liu Yan.”

“I apologize for what happened at the casino last time. Haha!”

…Casino?

I glanced at Liu, and she seemed quite angry, but she was still being polite.

He didn’t rip Liu off at the casino, did he?

The strongest person in the world, gambling with his physical abilities and winning money? Right?

Even in the game, he only played the role of a training NPC, so I didn’t know much about his background or settings, which made me anxious.

“Lastly… the Fortune Teller.”

“Yes, I am Namgung Min.”

“I know you well. You left quite an impression on me because of the entrance ceremony.”

“You flatter me.”

Well… I did cause a bit of a scene in the maze.

But it shouldn’t be a big problem. They’ve been doing that maze every year, so there must have been many students who tried to incite others like me.

Ultimately, it was an escape failure, so it’s a relief that I seem to have caught the instructors’ attention.

“Anyway, now that everyone’s here, let’s get straight to the point.”

Redfield, after looking around at the special class students once again, opened his mouth.

“To put it bluntly, you guys don’t really need the regular academy classes.”

“……….”

“………….”

“……….”

…Wasn’t the academy a place to learn?

Even the special class had regular classes, didn’t they?

“Ah, I’m not saying there’s nothing to learn. It’s just that your jobs are the problem.”

“…Ah.”

Our jobs.

I roughly understood what he was trying to say.

“The academy’s classes are tailored to each job. with , with . There are many people with those jobs, so they are taught by instructors of the same job.”

But the special class was different.

This was literally a gathering of ‘special’ jobs.

“However, jobs like and are different. There might be others with the same job, but the academy can’t systematically teach them. Not to mention jobs that are unique in the world, like , , , and .”

That’s true.

Romance Academy wasn’t a place to learn new common sense like a high school or university.

Strictly speaking, it was a vocational academy, a place to develop the job you possessed.

In that sense, I understood that special jobs, which were unique or extremely rare in the world, had no or insufficient specialized education.

“Um, Instructor Redfield?”

“Is that a question? Go ahead.”

“As far as I know, there are quite a few .”

But those guys and I are different.

wasn’t a special job in the first place, it was a common job that could be found easily, like .

So, why am I here?

“That’s true. Even though you’re the first to enroll in the history of Romance Academy, I heard they created a curriculum for when the academy was founded, just in case.”

“Then why am I…?”

“But you’re different from those , aren’t you?”

Different? I hate Fortune Tellers, but we have the same job, don’t we?

…Liu? Rain? Lucas? Saint? Your Highness?

Why are you all nodding?

“The fortune-telling of ordinary has an average accuracy of about 20% only in extremely limited situations, but you boast a 100% accuracy rate so far.”

“……….”

“At first, many instructors opposed giving you a dedicated exam since you weren’t even a special job, but that principal bastard actively pushed for it. And that judgment was spot on.”

The principal… actively recommended it?

The principal I know is an extreme discriminator.

This mysterious class, and why does it seem like there are so many discrepancies?

“Eh, I’ll just be blunt.”

“Please, do.”

“If you weren’t in the special class, you would have crushed all the other students.”

“Excuse me?”

“What do you think the academy’s evaluation criteria are? Of course, there are grades, but the number one priority is how well you utilize your job, and in my opinion, there’s no one among the new students who uses their job better than you.”

Rain, stop nodding. Lucas, stop smiling as if you agree.

And Liu, I haven’t decided yet, why are you shrugging as if you’re proud…

I just lied about fortune-telling and used knowledge from the original work, and this is what happens.

“Well, looking at it that way, you’re the most important one in this class.”

“…Excuse me?”

“Good. Now that we’re done talking, I’ll explain about the class.”

Whir.

Redfield kicked the rock beneath his feet, and a hologram appeared next to him. So that rock was a mechanical device.

The hologram map, which displayed the entrance of the mountain we were standing on in 3D, zoomed in and glowed.

“I said earlier that you can’t have classes according to your jobs, but Romance Academy has created many special classes and successfully graduated them all. And there’s one lesson we learned from that.”

Thump.

Redfield, who pointed at the middle of the mountain with a branch he picked up from somewhere, grinned.

“Special jobs, they grow on their own if you just throw them into the field.”

…?

What?

“So, the first class is a field exercise. The lesson: mountain climbing! This mountain is artificially populated with monsters, traps, and various magical barriers.”

Wait, hold on.

“The first one to get to this target point through all of this is done with class! If you can’t find it, class continues until midnight today!”

What is this? Sparta?

This wasn’t in the game?

“A word of advice, no matter how well you fight, if you can’t find the way, it’s all for nothing! Haha!”

Dash.

With those last words, Redfield quickly disappeared into the forest.

As expected of the strongest person in this world, I couldn’t even see him disappear… anyway.

Mountain climbing? Magical barriers, artificial monsters? Traps?

This is too far off from my expectations.

“Finding the way…”

“Traps, monsters, and barriers…”

“…It’s a kind of maze?”

Liu looked at me.

Lucas turned his head towards me with a resigned expression.

Rain hesitantly approached.

Princess Kim Eun-ha looked at me with a smile.

The Saint, seeing all this, ran away first as if he had faith in me.

“…Um, hello?”

Why are you all looking at me like that?
