chapter 16
16 – Woof!
No matter how much of a prisoner I am.
Capturing and handing over a living human being has a high risk factor.
First, he decided to examine the liver from the corpse, and received some of the body that had died after being tortured.
When receiving the body, there was an unfortunate incident where the butler looked at me strangely.
The humans of the Lercier family have done so many extraordinary things.
In the end, ‘the youngest master… ‘ He handed over the body without saying anything.
‘I don’t know if it’s right to say that I solved this well.’
I decided to proceed like this for a while, thinking it would be better than getting caught stealing a corpse later.
‘Then later on, we can just capture the Celestial Church members.’
Anyway, all you need is a story created based on the experiences in your head.
I don’t need the other things, so I thought I could just put them back.
We mainly brought corpses that seemed to have many stories to the Welcome Museum.
“Um… This is 3 coins, this is 2 coins… Hmm! “This is 13 coins.”
I didn’t get as many goods as I thought.
I realized that even if I did this repeatedly, it would take a considerable amount of time to collect 10,000 coins, so I felt the need to find another way.
‘I guess there is no way to get a lot at once.’
I wondered if there were any hints in the original novel, so I thought back to the missions that Yeoju had completed.
I was able to realize that the more a situation affected many people, the higher its value.
‘That means… After causing the Heavenly God Church to cause a big problem.’
If you catch that guy and sell all of her related memories, you can make a lot of her coins.
She thought it was definitely worth a try and decided to go ahead with it while watching the situation.
‘Of course, until then, I’ll have to keep selling the corpse’s memories.’
I decided to continue the work, thinking that there was nothing I could do until it grew to a certain level.
* * * * *
From that day on, he repeatedly sold the memories of the corpse provided by the family and then returned it to the family.
At first, even if the body was returned, there were some who looked at it with suspicion because the very idea of taking it was strange.
As I continued to show them my obsession with magic research, at some point the reason for taking the body changed to ‘magic research.’
‘So from that day on, things went without any problems.’
On the contrary, the manager had pre-packaged it to cheer us up, so to a third party, an extremely bizarre daily life continued to unfold.
I was wondering if this was really right, but I was doing it faithfully.
An issue that had been postponed at the Academy for a while finally came to light.
“Do you remember what you said back then? “I said I would prove that I solved the problem in 10 minutes.”
I clicked my tongue as I saw Delia speaking with a somewhat confident expression despite her fatigue.
I was so busy, but having to solve such a trivial problem was extremely annoying.
‘It’s so annoying, should I just ignore it?’
Most things can be solved with force anyway, so I thought I would just pretend not to notice.
I had previously calculated that there were many benefits that could be gained by solving the problem roughly, so I decided to just endure it and deal with it.
‘It would be better if I could at least sleep at this time.’
Anyway, I answered briefly, thinking that there were too many people with nothing to do.
“I remember.”
“Thank goodness. “I just happened to bring you a problem to prove that you cheated.”
He smiles brightly with a ‘hehehe’ voice as if the problem he brought was quite difficult.
I continued speaking, thinking that the bright smile and dark circles around her eyes did not match.
“Really? If so, you probably didn’t forget those words either. “If it is proven that what I said is not true, I will do whatever it takes to make you keep what you said.”
“… Everything, of course. But honestly, there’s no need to worry about that, right? “You won’t get this question right anyway.”
I don’t know if you say that because you want to believe that, or if you say that to show others that you are confident.
No matter what, it was clear that further conversation was meaningless, so I looked at him as if I was pitiful and spoke.
“It’s so noisy, so shut up and let the problem arise.”
Delia must have been moved by those words as she narrowed her eyes and glared at me.
She then said, ‘Ha, I see,’ and pointed behind her.
“Then let’s go to the auditorium. “Because there are people who can verify whether the problem and the answer you gave are correct.”
At those words, I nodded and headed to the auditorium.
* * *
Originally, if there was a suspicion that someone had committed misconduct, the academy was the first to initiate an investigation.
The academy is not even making any comments, let alone investigating.
Rumors quickly spread that Dern had indeed committed misconduct and that the Academy was trying to turn a blind eye to it.
‘Of course, no one says this out loud because they are afraid of the Lercier family.’
Recently, the incident on the rooftop and the incident in the principal’s office have changed somewhat.
It started with a rumor that I was the center of all sorts of collusive relationships, and then spread to a rumor that I actually took the exam itself.
‘Because of that, people I wouldn’t have been able to make eye contact with normally.’
I can see that he is secretly glaring at me and expressing his dissatisfaction.
They seem to think that since they are the victims, it is natural for them to treat me like this.
‘If I talk about this one by one, it will only get ugly.’
As I passed by and ignored him, he glared at me even more strongly and expressed his silent dissatisfaction.
‘It’s so annoying.’
I sighed, opened the door to the auditorium that Delia pointed to, and entered.
‘… Under. ‘That’s crazy.’
When I opened the door and went in, what I saw was a crowd so large that I thought the entire first year had gathered there.
The moment I came in, they closed their mouths and just stared in silence, showing their dissatisfaction.
‘I don’t have the courage to curse first, but I have the courage to attack everyone together.’
I slowly moved forward, feeling deep disgust at those people who gave me their confidence without even confirming the truth yet.
As I went up to the podium, Delia took a deep breath and spoke to me.
“Then… “I’ll start verification now.”
After hearing that, I nodded and spoke.
“As much as you want.”
“… “The first problem is this.”
Perhaps it was a problem created with the help of experts, and a formula with somewhat difficult elements caught my eye.
As soon as I saw the problem, which was far beyond the level of a first grader, I started laughing.
Delia speaks to me somewhat confidently.
“Why can’t I solve it? That’s right, you passed the test by cheating… “
“I solved it.”
“… What?”
“The formula seems plausible, but the whole thing is twisted. In particular, the magic connection point is the most unstable, and I don’t know why I put the formula created by Ai Dern in it when I didn’t need to use it.”
I deliberately went into each detail and told you what was wrong and how to fix it.
It didn’t fit my personality to tell you all this.
If I gave away the information here, a situation like this would happen again, so I wanted to stamp it out so that no one could even suspect.
After explaining in detail for about an hour, I can see Delia’s face turning completely white.
I guess he didn’t know if I would answer more accurately.
I talked to her, looking at her like that.
“What’s next?”
“Okay, the next question is this… “
The most important thing in this situation was ‘How do I appear to others?’
The answer to the problem was presented as if it were a simple problem that did not even need to be thought about.
Of course, in order to explain the answer, I had to give numerous reasons, so it took some time.
As time passes, Delia looks at those around her with a pale complexion, as if she sensed her own end.
Looking at Delia like that, I calmly opened my mouth.
“Are there any more?”
“There’s more, but… “
You must have realized that it was meaningless even if you tried.
Nevertheless, I did not hesitate to bring up the next problem and explain it again.
Towards the end, Delia was sitting on her chair near her with an expression of almost giving up.
The current situation was more vain than I thought, and the students who had gathered to see my downfall were quietly leaving.
It wouldn’t be any good if they found out we were gathered here.
The result was obvious, but it seemed like they decided there was no need to watch it.
I spoke to Delia as I watched the auditorium gradually becoming empty.
“I told you clearly. “I’m going to be my dog.”
“… “That is.”
“Now it’s too late to say it was a joke or a lie. “Because you are already in a situation where you have to take responsibility.”
“… Ah.”
Delia fidgeted as if thinking of an excuse, but then she cupped her face and spoke to me.
“… “At least keep it a secret from our family.”
“Let me think about it.”
Once I had her write down her slave contract, I was going to sell all of her stories to her library.
‘And she is going to be treated like a slave.’
Rather than a decision based on emotion, a decision for maximum efficiency.
I was about to go back after making that decision.
After all this fighting, I thought I should at least get some light revenge, so I spoke briefly.
“Then let’s start barking like a dog.”
“… “What?”
“Didn’t you tell me? “I’m going to be my dog, so you can bark like a dog.”
“…… “
After hearing those words, she tried to run away as if she couldn’t help it.
“Can you take responsibility for that action?”
He freezes at my words and starts yelling.
I looked at her like that and laughed at her.
If you think about it calmly, it was just an argument between students, so there’s no way the family would intervene and take responsibility.
It was just funny to think that the world might collapse if you really didn’t listen to me.
Honestly, if the family protested, it would only get ugly, so it was a matter that could be overlooked.
She doesn’t seem to think so.
I gritted my teeth and muttered in a low voice.
“… Bruise.”
“What?”
“Woof! Bruise! “It’s a bruise!”
I really like the red face buried in shame.
Looking at her like that, I turned her body around just like she did, leaving behind her words, ‘Well done.’
‘Then I’ll use that guy later.’
For now, I am deciding to finish the remaining research.
I can hear one of the students still remaining mumbling something in a low voice.
“… “I can do that well too.”
I checked to see what all the fuss was about, and completely unexpectedly, Rumi’s profile caught my eye.
I wondered if this was what Rumi had said, so I quickly went over there to check.
She couldn’t ask about this because Rumi had left the auditorium before that.
‘You must have heard wrong, right?’
I looked away again, reminding myself that this was not the kind of person who would say something like that.
