This is Ariel’s current stat. You could say it’s literally garbage.

In Unknown Saga, 5 stats are distributed per level.

So, since Ariel’s current level is 14, she should have a total stat of 70, but Ariel’s current total stat is 51. She is 19 short of stats.

In addition, Ariel’s position belongs to the Magic Combat Department, but her strength and skill stats are higher than magic.

Feeling a headache, I also checked Ariel’s skills.

Consistently low-level skills…. These are the skill levels that make me wonder if the idiot who beat many students is really right.

Even the level of the warrior skill Is much higher than that of the magic skill. It’s to the point where I don’t understand why this guy joined the magic combat department.

“There is no answer… I can’t survive with these skills…”

I sighed.

During the placement test, a monster called ‘Shadow Wolf’ appears.

Actually, it’s not that powerful a monster. It is a monster that is only level 40, and it is a miscellaneous mob that can be easily hunted later.

However, Ariel’s current level is 14. If she fights the Shadow Wolf 100 times, she will lose all 100 times.

“Levels and stats are idiots…. Skills are idiots too…”

Then there is only one way left.

“There is no choice but to solve it with items.”

In Unknown Saga, a character’s strength is determined by a total of three things.

The first is stats, the second is skills. And the third is the item.

Among these items, it takes time to raise stats and skills, but you can immediately gain strength by simply equipping an item.

“Should I say fortunate… There is ‘that item’ at the top of this dormitory building.”

Unknown Saga was a game with a strong exploration element. Even in places unrelated to the main story, there are ‘hidden points’ where items or skills are hidden.

There are hidden points in all sorts of strange places.

There are hidden points embedded in cliffs, or hidden points embedded in the sea…. Even after 1532 hours of play, the last hidden point I found was in the ground.

By comparison, the top of the building is fairly honest.

If you only get ‘that’, you will be able to overcome tomorrow’s crisis somehow.

The problem.

─Just go up to the second floor…. If you want to be expelled, you can go upstairs.

The words I heard from the student members just now come to mind.

According to the original story, this would have been a male-only dormitory. So, as it was, there wouldn’t be any problem going up to the top of the dormitory building.

I should have. In this world, it has become a female dormitory.

“It’s really hard to pay for it…”

If you don’t want to die, you have to prepare for expulsion. Are there any unreasonable things like this?

However, no matter how hard I try, I can’t come up with more ideas than this.

I can’t.

…… You have no choice but to climb the women’s dormitory building.

I stayed like that for 10 hours.

… I couldn’t help it. She didn’t have the confidence to go up to the roof while avoiding the eyes of the female students in broad daylight.

So we waited until nightfall.

Without leaving the room. Continued for 10 hours.

“Princess Beheritt, I brought you a meal.”

Fortunately, Ariel was the second son of a ducal family.

“A meal?”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t you usually eat at the student cafeteria?”

“Most of the students do, but Young master was instructed to treat them with utmost respect.”

I had been shutting myself in my room with the determination to starve, but a maid suddenly came and said that.

From what I’ve heard, it seems like this is a common thing at this academy.

It is an academy where descendants of heroes, heirs of giants, candidates for the next lord, children of high-ranking nobles, royal families of foreign countries, and even the crown prince attend.

Students with high status are treated appropriately. The maid explained that such a system was in place.

‘Come to think of it, there was such a setting in the original game.’

There was definitely a setting that each student had a slightly different room. Commoners use narrow rooms, but the higher the status, the wider the room.

“Shall I bring you another meal?”

The maid asked. She

She had no choice but to do so, of course she didn’t. Maybe she won’t be visiting the restaurant in the future.

That’s how we safely spent the evening, and after a long wait, we met the night.

3:40 Am.

In a landscape where the darkness of night has settled down and even the sound has disappeared. The moonlight is pouring in the cold, still air.

In the middle of the night when emptiness resounds, I let out the breath I have been holding back.

Open the window.

Then I pushed myself in.

“……Is this really true?”

He muttered as he pushed his fingers into the cracks in the bricks.

This was the conclusion I came to after much thought. Climb the outer wall and go to the rooftop.

Of course, the desire to use the stairs was like a chimney. But what if you run into a girl passing by?

“I don’t know f*ck…”

With a curse, I pulled myself up.

My heart is pounding. I feel like dying.

Maybe I made a poor choice. I was regretting it more fiercely than at any other moment in my 28 years of life.

Come to think of it, this seems crazy. Would it have been better to just quietly climb the stairs?

My hands are shaking from tension. I am very concerned about my hands sweating.

I am afraid that my hands will slip because of sweat.

“Huuu…”

But I had no choice but to hold my breath.

The only male student who got into an accident and flew away. Has a prior conviction for causing injury. Caught climbing the wall of the girls’ dormitory?

You have to do well to be expelled…. In some cases, wouldn’t it be taken as a s*x offender and rot in prison?

Either way is obviously the worst, it will be socially dead, and humanity will be destroyed because you can’t participate in the placement test….

I decided to change my mind. It’s better to fall As long as you don’t die, you can somehow solve it with potions.

So let’s not get caught.

It’s okay to leave, so let’s not get caught.

So carefully, step by step…… Go up

‘Is it worth doing more than I thought…….’

I think it went up about 2M. Suddenly, I started thinking about it.

My body is lighter than I thought.

Indeed. Ariel’s age is a bright 17 years old, but Kim Il-hwan was a diseased body at the age of 28. Even if the specs are different, it will be different for a long time.

Although she is weak compared to her level, Ariel has combat abilities anyway. This guy is also an adventurer, so her physicality will be completely different from that of ordinary people.

‘Okay, if it goes up like this…….’

“Senior, have you seen him? I mean the male student who entered the school today.”

I was about to go up when I suddenly heard a voice from up there.

I was startled and staggered, but fortunately I did not fall. I thought she was dying….

“Ah, you mean the boy from Beltark Academy? I saw it from far away.”

“Why the hell is a man coming to this academy?”

“They say he’s the second son of a duke. Couldn’t he have thrown in a lot of money to seduce a woman somehow?”

“I’ve never done that before, Sifal…”

I murmured softly. It seems that there are still students who do not sleep.

‘… That’s it. A lily situation where roommates flirt with each other.’

According to the Unknown Saga setting, the dormitory is a two-person room system. As an exception, I am the only one who occupies a single room at the moment, and that is because I am the only male…. In the original work, there were several scenes of roommates talking at night.

It’s really funny to do something like that in the middle of the night, but…… , In the first place, the semester has not yet started. Only freshmen have a placement test tomorrow, and other grades don’t have classes yet, so it must be like that.

“You came here on purpose to see a woman…? That’s a pervert… Senpai, I’m scared… What if that guy suddenly attacks me…?”

“Shall we sleep in the same bed tonight? My kitten.”

“Seo, senpai…♡”

“It’s f*cking sick…”

Cats freeze to death. Go back to your hometown.

I sighed and climbed the wall.

I only slept for 3 hours…. I’m tired to death

Still, I really like being young. Seeing how he got rid of fatigue after only 3 hours of sleep, I realized how much garbage Kim Il-hwan’s body was.

“Nice to meet you, everyone. I am Professor Brahms, who will be conducting this placement test.”

Freshmen are gathering in front of the dormitory after breakfast.

It is an elderly professor who is waiting for such a freshman. Surprisingly, he was a man.

It seems that only the students have changed gender. Just as Ariel, who has no weight in the original work, is still male, I wonder if the professors, who are nothing more than extras, also maintain their gender.

“This class placement test will be conducted in groups of two. We will announce the groups from now on, so those who are called come forward to identify their partners.”

A line that still lingers in my memory. Development of the original. As expected, the placement test is going as far as I know.

Should I regard that as a misfortune or a stroke of luck?

With a complicated mind, I cross my arms and inadvertently look at my right hand.

The middle finger of the right hand. There is a clunky ring that wasn’t there until yesterday.

This is the result obtained during the early morning.

“I will call Team 23. Team 23 is… Lucius, and Ariel Beheritt….Come forward.”

The teaching assistant, who was calling the students by name, has a slightly stiff expression.

Those eyes looking this way are wary. A face that seemed to see something unpleasant, very different from fear.

And it’s not just teaching assistants.

Noisily.

As soon as my name is called, a strange atmosphere forms among the students.

Responses vary.

There are a lot of people who are wary of me like my teaching assistant, there are a lot of people who look at me in a bad mood, and there are faces that show curiosity, even if it’s very small, but it’s not much comfort.

‘I think the reaction was more severe than the original.’

Ariel is known as a delinquent and her transfer student, so even in the original work, she was very close when Ariel’s name was called.

But the reason why the students of this world are agitated…… Maybe for some reason different from the original.

Let’s think of it as the margin of error. I just want to consider it that way.

Anyway, since I was called, I moved forward.

Like the miracle of Moses, the female students are divided.

At the end of the walk, receiving all kinds of attention, there is a girl.

Her light brown hair sways and her skin is very white.

Slim body. Leather armor surrounds its body. It’s a bit sleeker than the one I drew in the manga, but it has a more feminine look.

“You are Ariel Beheritt. Please take good care of me.”

Lucius held out his hand to me with a heroic smile.

Do not hold hands.

Say instead.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of getting to know you.”
