After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

17 – Debt

Wake up in the morning at dawn.

Ian finished training at dawn as usual today.

“Whoa.”

From noble mtl dot com

These days, I’m gradually increasing the intensity of training.

The time for the ‘Battle Training’ event is approaching.

A fairly important event that determines grades and scholarships. From a story point of view, it is also a starting point that serves as the foundation for future scenarios.

‘The villains start to appear.’

Of course, I do not intend to intervene in all of the happenings. It’s because I’m in a situation where I’m not busy with taking care of my body, no, even taking care of it.

The concept of watching one step away from the story.

I plan to keep that distance.

In the first place, Pongpong is also an existence that disappears from the story for a while after the suicide attempt.

‘It’s embarrassing if the story line goes wrong.’

The moment I returned to the dorm with a promise to continue training and growth.

“What is this?”

It was the bill that welcomed Ian back to the dorm.

Bills stuck to the door like barnacles.

Still, it’s a cheap lodging near the academy.

There is even a reminder note attached to this kind of thing, so…

“I feel like my life has been properly X.”

A burst of laughter.

It’s an absurd laugh.

How much debt did you have to put something like this on the door?

Shall we take a look?

“Oh.”

After checking the contents of the bill, I managed to hold back from bursting out with double desire in the morning.

“Pongpong, you crazy bastard…”

The amount of debt is by no means ordinary.

I thought it would be vague, and I promised myself that I would check it out and prepare…

“200 Gold…?”

200 Gold coins.

If converted into won, it is 200 million won.

In fact, the maximum credit loan that can be received as a pompong.

It is said that it was clever in a slang word.

“Please tell me you bought land in the metropolitan area.”

Of course, there’s no way that Pompon is like that.

Of course, the heroines lost all their assets.

My head is dizzy.

Fortunately, the interest rate itself is quite low.

It seems that there are special tuition loans for Lichten Academy cadets and living expenses loans.

In terms of South Korea, it is no different from Hankuk University’s medical school, so it’s natural in a way.

“At this rate, bankruptcy.”

The 100 silver coins left by Pongpong are all his property.

Thirty silver coins are just the interest to be paid this month. Considering other living expenses, I think I can last for about two months at the longest.

“… I have to pay the tuition soon. This side has to get a scholarship somehow.”

My hair is soft.

But it’s not at all overwhelming.

I was thinking of any number of ways to make money. It just didn’t move into action.

Because it was the decision to focus on possible growth. Of course, things are different now.

“First of all, the most effective way to earn…”

Of course it is stock.

Eh why stock in fantasy?

What I thought when I first encountered stock content in Panta X Arca. However, when you write stocks directly on paper rather than stocks on your phone, you naturally realize. Oh, it seems that stocks have existed for a long time than I thought.

Anyway.

Excluding the hassle of going to the stock trading guild and trading one by one, stocks are the most efficient way to make money.

I know the events that will happen in the future and the guilds that will play an important role in those events.

Fortunately, it’s still time before the full-scale events take place.

Ian took out an empty notebook and held it up.

[ Ecomana ]

A rough timing, a new guild that will start trading in about two weeks.

Ecomana Guild is a guild that creates new mana that replaces ‘mana’, the most important resource of Panta X Arca. Basically, in Panta X Arc, where magic engineering is extremely developed, the value of mana as a resource is enormous.

Ecomana Guild’s stock was initially criticized for being a fraud and was treated horribly, but…

Afterwards, the guild representative shows a performance of operating the mana train using ‘Ecomana’, setting a record for a legendary stock price rise in the Lichten stock market.

“Of course it was a scam.”

What.

There is no problem if you know about scams and get caught.

A story about eating and drinking.

Ian nodded in satisfaction.

Rather, the problem is on the other side.

“In fact, the seed is not important in stocks.”

This is the problem.

I don’t have any money right now

“Should I accept a request?”

If you register in the Quest Guild, you can receive several requests. However, if you get it wrong for no reason, you could become a prey for the non-virgin heroine. You might need to be a little careful with this one.

I think I need to think about this a bit.

“It’s already this time.”

It’s already time to go to school.

There wasn’t even a day that wasn’t busy.

◆

” This afternoon, we will form a combat training group. As this is a joint class with one class each from Magic, Priest, Recon, and Knight Faculties, I hope everyone has some plans to form a team so that there are no more than four people. “

After class in the morning.

Violet, the professor in charge of Mejai, held the students for a while saying that she had instructions.

“In combat training, there are people who are seriously injured every year. Be aware of this.”

The atmosphere in the classroom was quite heated.

From the beginning, the name of the class is ‘combat training’.

Training to fight gigantic monsters like real battles.

Although they are not real monsters, they are monsters recreated through magical engineering. Its strength and violence are also reproduced, so the risk is definitely high.

“Then, let’s all gather at the second arena in the afternoon.”

I have to build a team again.

Anyway, with Ian’s current reputation, you can’t normally gather team members.

‘Recruitment of team members is abandoned.’

It can’t be done anyway.

I quickly gave up and came out.

In the afternoon, having classes outdoors, I thought of forgetting my lunchbox outside.

I plan to do some light running in my free time.

After eating like that and going around the training ground.

Ian stood in front of a magic engineering drink vending machine nearby.

I’m thinking of grabbing a cold drink.

One can a day is free as a welfare for academy students.

“Preferably with carbonic acid.”

It’s like drinking a glass of soda.

I saw a pretty familiar face walking from afar.

‘…Sylvia Laurent?’

Sylvia Laurent. 4.5 Stars.

Although he did not make it to the ranks of the official heroines of Fanta X Arca due to his low potential, he was a popular character for his unique charm.

The special thing is that he belongs to the academy’s highest grade class, ‘ether’. And the fact that she is the head of the upper rank ‘Laurent’.

Laurent is a guild in competition with the heroine Emilia’s guild of Raymond. Of course, the horse is a competitive opponent, but there is a feeling that it is somewhat lacking.

Anyway.

That sounds rich.

It is said that there is nothing wrong with being close.

Besides, I know enough about Sylvia’s tastes.

Ian looked at the blonde passing in front of him. She then spoke her words carefully.

“There…”

“Huh.”

Sylvia gave her eyes a glance, then quickly turned her head away.

Somewhat furrowed eyebrows, slightly bitten lips.

No matter who sees it, the face that doesn’t like this side.

But she couldn’t afford to argue.

— Slippery!

“Kyaaak!”

Sylvia stepped on the lid of a drink that someone had thrown away.

She frantically tried to balance herself.

—

Just like that, my foot slipped on the mud and I fell unsightly.

Sylvia soaked in muddy water full of luxury clothes and bags.

Ian, who was dodging to one side, muttered.

“…I was going to tell you to be careful.”

Sylvia got up and came over here in a huff.

“You’d better watch your mouth.”

I felt that I was in a bad mood.

But she didn’t curse or threaten her beyond that.

As for Sylvia, she’s like an arrogant young lady.

Ian calmly shrugged her shoulders.

“Ha ha.”

Sylvia let out her sigh. The moment she was about to pass by.

Ian murmured softly.

“I can help you if you want. The clothes.”

“…Help? You?”

“Yes.”

“How? Can you do the laundry for me?”

Sylvia raised the corner of her mouth as if mocking.

There was mud all over her white face.

Ian nodded her head.

“I can give you some purification.”

“… Purification?”

“Yes.”

“You know how difficult that is…!”

“Okay, hold my hand.”

“As expected…”

She seems interested in her. She frowns at her straight away.

She has a face that wants to see all kinds of perverts.

Of course, her Ian was not hit.

It’s an expression he’s adapted to while playing Fanta X Aka.

“So are you going to the dormitory? Now?”

“Not really.”

“Isn’t it Laurent’s injury? You can calculate the risk and return.”

“……”

After thinking for a while, Sylvia took her hand.

She knew it.

Luxury clothes. Luxury bag.

She is a person who strives to make her image really sophisticated and classy.

She hates ‘common people’ too much.

Is it a concept like a arrogant second-generation chaebol?

Since she is so good with her calculation skills, I thought she would definitely come to take her hand.

‘Anyway, washing dishes is very useful.’

Ian lightly cast her power.

Sylvia’s dirty clothes and body become clean in an instant.

“… What is this. How the hell do you…?”

Ian slipped the bandage she had taken out of her pocket into the admired Sylvia’s bag.

“Okay? I’m coming. Good job.”

With this, this child has earned enough points.

◆

I’m angry because I can see that Raymond’s company is secretly trying to extend their power to the academy…

‘Ah. Really, why are you like this today?’

An alleyway of an academy building.

Seeing Ian standing in front of the vending machine, Sylvia frowned at her.

It’s a tough day, but Ian is involved.

Of course, the reason I know Ian is because his rumors are the worst in the academy.

‘… It’s too late to go back.’

After thinking for a while, she decided to just go through, and she fell into the unexpected mud.

Ragged clothes and bags. And her dignity.

He even felt embarrassed that he showed it to Ian, the official worst cadet of the academy.

The moment my stomach was bubbling.

From noble mtl dot com

“Okay? Then I’ll go.”

It’s really clothes and body, so Ian left cleanly after purifying it as it is.

“… What?”

Such embarrassment is short-lived.

Sylvia was stunned as she looked through her bag.

The inside of the bag is perfectly neat.

‘Muddy water must have gotten into the bag.’

A cadet from the undergraduate class, not even the top class Ether, could handle purification magic this perfectly?

“…Is it a coincidence?”

I can’t believe that.

Did you cheat or something?

Sylvia, who was looking at her bag with bewilderment, stopped at her seat.

“Is this…?”

A small band-aid caught my eye.

She noticed that there were small cuts on her own hands.

However, it is impossible to wear such a shabby thing on the body of a son of the Laurent Merchant.

It was clear that Ian had thrown it into the bag earlier.

“Whoa.”

Sylvia lifted her bandage with her fingertips with a sigh.

An infinitely low-grade band-aid.

There is a picture of a puppy that looks like a child’s play.

Her eyebrows quivered.

“Did you think I would use this kind of folk stuff?”

Such self-talk for a while.

She looked around Sylvia.

She suddenly swallowed her words.

She then looked back at the dog picture on the bandage.

“Hey…”

A silly sound came out of her mouth.

She carefully peeled off her bandage and applied it to her wound.

“So cute…hehehe.”

Smile. Sylvia raised the corners of her mouth.

It was a rather silly laugh.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been laughing like that.

“Lady Sylvia! We have to go quickly!”

Sylvia’s expression became serious in an instant.

It didn’t take long for her to return to her original face.

“Yes. Let’s go.”

A proud woman was standing there again.
