There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 6

2. Too many bugs (3)

Crunchy crunchy crunchy.

As soon as he came to his senses, he hurriedly picked up food and ate it. It was an abandoned dog that had starved for several days. Tsutsui, a grown-up wife and wives, that’s a pity.

And I couldn’t eat, so I put the bread in front of me in my mouth.

A few minutes to fill your hungry stomach without a word.

By the time the fainted one was brought into the room, his pale, dead impression had been restored to some extent, and his color was gradually regaining his complexion.

And at the same time, consciousness seemed to return to normal.

“Ugh……!!”

It met precisely the girl’s scarlet eyes. The apple in her hand fell down her arm and rolled on the floor.

“Ah, I’m so disrespectful!! Sin, I’m sorry!!”

She jumps up from her seat and bows her head. It was a pity that I felt like I was looking at myself before.

“It’s fine. It doesn’t matter, so please eat.”

“Uh…”

Although she feels ashamed, she trembles with her hands as if she is hungry, and even chews the bread she has been eating.

A person whose face turned red like a blush with a moaning sound is a person whose true emotions are revealed on his face.

“Uhhh… I’m really sorry.

“We have to help each other and live together.”

After I was brought here, I decided to practice the teachings of Dusik Ahjae, the first thing I learned. As soon as she offered a favor, her dark expression faded away.

“You’re the one who lives in the front room, right?”

“Yes… Room 303. I’m really sorry! No matter what I try to buy, I can’t get a paradise card!!”

Oh, there was one more victim here.

Without a word, I pulled out a temporary ID from my pocket and showed it to her.

“Baeksanwoo… sir? Why is this all of a sudden…”

“I don’t have a Paradise card either.”

“ah!!”

Soon in her eyes, the joy of meeting a fellow classmate rises.

“Didn’t you say that the first application period was over?”

“That’s right! I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday because of that.”

An unknown sense of unity wrapped around me and her. Despite the first meeting, the inner intimacy was rising vertically.

“Is that one too?”

“Yes. This is my first meal in two days.”

“What a coincidence! Uh, but then you’re giving me valuable food?”

“Because that’s enough.”

Even so, I wasn’t cold-blooded enough to pretend to be ignorant when I saw a neighbor who fainted from hunger.

In the first place, it will be possible to issue a paradise card soon. It’s not like he fell into an apocalyptic world, and he wouldn’t have any problems with his survival if he gave him some apples and a few loaves of bread.

“I wonder if there was someone who possessed such a character on Paradise Island. How should I repay this favor?”

“Okay. What grace?”

I have no intention of getting caught, but I have no intention of being petty. I shrugged my shoulders cheerfully and passed it on as a joke.

“But what did you do that you didn’t get the issuance yesterday? You must have had a lot of time after you unpacked your dormitory luggage.”

“Ah, that’s… Did you happen to come to Paradise Island on February 23rd? At that time, a certain wizard made a riot at the pier, and after that, he lost his mind and woke up yesterday.”

Oh shit.

It seems that she was also a victim of tutorials like me.

“It’s the same. Well, other than that, there’s no reason not to apply for a Paradise card.”

As I spoke with a deep sigh, her face lit up with surprise.

“There’s another victim!”

“Yeah. I caught almost all of them, but I got hit in the back of the head and passed out.”

It’s not something I want to brag about. Because it certainly wasn’t a win.

“Ah, this story is over. I haven’t heard your name yet. What’s your name?”

“I’m Camilla Lily from the Levant Kingdom. I’m the same age anyway, can I say it comfortably? Because I’m a little uncomfortable with respectful words.”

“I don’t care.”

what? But what about Camilla Lily?

I looked closely at her face. Shiny reddish-brown hair. Jewel-like scarlet eyes. And sharp curved eyes.

Camilla Lilly, Camilla Lilly!!?

The moment I realized her identity, I managed to endure the admiration that almost leaked out without me knowing.

WA! Somehow it caught my eye!

“Camila Lilly? Is it the 17th head of the Kwon Ryu?”

“Huh? Huh??? How did you know that?”

Alas, I couldn’t control my excitement at the fact that a person I knew only appeared now.

To Camila, who was just embarrassed, I coughed twice and poured out a sloppy excuse.

“Oh, I’m from the Eastern Federation. The Levant Kingdom is next to our country. I’ve heard rumors.”

“Yeah…? I thought everyone didn’t know. I was a little surprised.”

Although not dealt with in detail in the game, her native country of the Levant was a country that could be seen as the modern ‘Middle East’.

And it borders on the Eastern Federation, which has brought the three East Asian countries as it is.

As if my excuses had worked, Camilla turned her gaze away, twirling her red-brown hair with her fingers.

“I’m not yet the head of the family. Although she is the eldest daughter of the family… it’s a long way to go to become head of the family.”

Camilla Lily.

Among hundreds of NPCs, the reason I remember her name is that she is the main character of one of the few epic quests.

There are numerous quests in Paradise Academia. It’s only natural that there is a main quest that is the center of the story.

There are three main sub-quests that can be received additionally.

A ‘Normal Quest’ with a simple content and a low reward, just like Doosuk Uncle’s done today.

A ‘rare quest’ that gives you decent performance items and money by asking for a proper battle or exploring dungeons.

And finally, the ‘Epic Quest’, which is much longer, more complex and more difficult than the previous two quests. Instead, the rewards are incomparable to the previous two quests.

Giving you legendary weapons, learning special skills, or being able to recruit very capable NPCs as allies.

Camila Lilly’s epic quest “The Road No One Finds” was the second one.

After completing the quest, he was able to receive the Paradise Academy’s only martial art ‘Flower Kwon-ryu’.

“You haven’t been the head of the family yet.”

“The current head of the household, my father, corrected it. It’s too early for me to continue. That’s why I came to Nakwon School. To become stronger.”

There was a certain fighting spirit in the scarlet eyes that promised aspirations.

But apart from that fighting spirit, I already know that she didn’t come to Paradise School just to ‘be strong’.

And the fact that she told some lies.

In fact, the current head of the Hwagwon-ryu and Camila’s father is suffering from a fatal disease.

Naturally, the family was discussing a successor, and Camilla, the current only blood relative of the head of the family and the only daughter of the direct line, entered Nakwon School to prove her qualifications.

The condition is to ‘graduate’ from Paradise School by proving one’s own will without any help from the family.

This was the reason why she, who would not bow down to anyone in terms of her status, was stifling her stomach and was holding out in the dormitory of the House of Representatives.

There is no better way to prove your abilities than this.

What… … As soon as she completes her epic quest without even having to graduate, Camilla becomes the 17th head of the Hwagwon-ryu.

I can’t tell Camila everything that’s going to happen right now, right?

Not only is it unclear whether she will believe it, but from the middle of the room, the saboteurs start to attack her with all sorts of dukes.

There is a risk of being misunderstood as a member of the room if I wander around on my own.

If that happens, Camilla will beat you right up to the point of death, right? Ugh, just thinking about it makes me feel so sick.

This world was a game, but it was also a reality.

I can’t make hasty moves without knowing how each of my actions will affect the future.

I naturally decided to change the topic of conversation.

“Then, will you apply as Arthur (Warrior) as an undergraduate?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Martial arts are not in Arthur’s Faculty, but you also learned swordsmanship and spears from other experts. Where are you planning to apply?”

I was in trouble for a while.

There are three faculties in Paradise School. As with all RPGs, there are faculties divided into warriors, archers, and wizards.

The faculty that always got the spotlight at the beginning was the warrior.

First of all, it does not require additional elements such as magic power, and it is pure combat science that simply depends on how you use your body.

Because it was easy to use anytime, anywhere, and it was an all-round faculty with no major restrictions.

“I think I’ll probably go to Arthur too.”

“We will motivate each other. Please take care of us.”

I grabbed Camila’s outstretched hand and shook it lightly.

“…well, but there you are.”

“Huh? What?”

“Can I eat a little more apples?”

* * *

“With this, Arthur’s undergraduate application has been completed.”

A staff member of the Academic Affairs Office replied with a bright smile.

“The paradise card is here. Take this certificate to the 9th Street School Uniform Store and they will tailor the uniform to your size. Be sure to tell me Arthur’s school.”

“thank you.”

“We sincerely welcome you to become the official warrior candidates of Nakwon School.”

Two days have passed since I first woke up in the temple of Canaan.

Finally, the long-awaited undergraduate application was completed and the paradise card was issued.

‘Now, at least I don’t have to worry about starving.’

I smiled and walked towards the uniform store.

A total of 5,000 Kelly for basic living expenses for the first undergraduate registration.

It was a lot of money for a living, but considering the tuition and dormitory fees that will come out of the next semester, it wasn’t that much money.

It would be even better if I got a scholarship or someone sponsors me… … .

To be honest, I didn’t think that a bridesmaid of the Eastern Federation, who had nowhere to go, could receive such a benefit.

In any case, in the future, you must thoroughly manage your holdings. It would be better to make a separate ledger later.

As I was thinking about things like that, I was at the front of the school uniform store.

Unlike a typical clothing store, it is a building that looks like a blacksmith shop. As proof of that fact, there was an occasional sharp noise of striking steel.

‘It’s a uniform. I haven’t worn it in a long time.’

Paradise Academia offers school uniforms with different designs for each department.

For example, the uniform of Ortana (mage) who is a wizard’s robe.

The steampunk style school uniform featuring a distinctive checkered pattern is from the Arin (archer) school.

And the Warrior Faculty I enrolled in… … .

“Come on! This size would be perfect!”

An old man with a twitching white mustache said, wiping away the sweat dripping down his cheeks.

In case someone is not a faculty who trains warriors, Arthur’s school uniform is in the form of leather armor.

A form of hard armor made by meticulously tanned and hardened of tough animal hides, overlaid on a white tunic.

It is much more clunky and monotonous than the school uniforms of other departments with various decorations, but I prefer this one.

Even in real life, I hated fashion that was hanging around.

“Gloves and boots may be stiff, but that’s because the leather isn’t tamed. You’ll be fine when you wear it.”

“thank you.”

“Come on, I’ll put my changed clothes here.”

In the paper bag he handed me, I folded the plain cloth clothes I was using for everyday wear neatly.

“I wish the new hero cadets the best of luck!”

My blood boils at the owner’s roaring laughter.

Once I became an official candidate, I have no intention of wasting my life at the academy. At the same time, I had no intention of moving forward.

There is only one thing I have to do to return to my original world.

Fixing the bugs that remain in this world.

As long as you work hard to solve it, Aidan will take care of what will happen in the future.

‘Complete a game full of bugs, if that’s the condition for me to go back…’ … I will gladly complete it!’

I don’t get hurt

Don’t get involved in things that won’t fit.

Let’s not be rude.

There are three absolute rules of survival that you must follow until you see the end of this game full of adversity.

Aside from the glitching technique, it’s still unclear whether the bug can be exploited. As long as you pay attention to that, it won’t be a big deal.

I made up my mind and clenched my fists.

Now, the full-fledged academy life has begun.
