I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

21 – Getting ready

Delia returns to the staff dormitory after completing her work as a healer’s apprentice.

She changed into her nightgown and lay down on her bed. She

She ran out of magic candles, so she said she’d bring them to me today, but she said….

Smart.

Someone knocked on the door.

She carefully asked who it was without opening the door.

“This is Luisa.”

“Oh yes!”

Joel’s exclusive maid, Luisa, was brought into the room.

She immediately opened the bag.

It was filled with only magic candles.

How much is this at the market price?

Delia gulped down her saliva every time she saw it.

Luisa looked at her like that and said.

“You know you shouldn’t embezzle, right?”

“No, of course!”

Delia smiled shyly.

She said she wished Louisa well and then she left the room.

Now it’s time to make magic potions.

I took out a mortar and pestle and began to grind it finely.

It wasn’t difficult, but it was tedious and the most time consuming as it had to be done slowly.

‘If I tell you about her sister, Joel will hate me too….’

A monastery is also a place where people live.

As word spread that Delia’s older sister had an affair with her Demon Kingdom, her orphans, her nuns, and priests all shunned her.

There was even a voice saying that the cheating girl who was involved with the Demon Kingdom should be kicked out quickly for the sake of others.

In the end, she went to another monastery on her own feet.

But she was no different there either.

She was exiled when rumors spread about her family.

‘I don’t want to go through that again….’

That’s how she went from monastery to monastery and was taken to a small church in the countryside.

It was because her nun grandmother there felt sorry for her.

It was like her adoptive mother.

She But she passed away from old age the year before last.

Fortunately, she was able to discover her talent as a healer and started working as an academy and apprentice.

So far, there are no rumors about her sister in her academy, so she has been able to get along smoothly.

‘My father would have no choice but to give up.’

In the first place, it was close to being forced.

She wanted to tie the knot properly, so she asked for her demons to be captured.

It would be wisest to deceive yourself that you are an orphan who does not even know the face of your parents and that your family does not exist from the beginning.

Let’s be satisfied with our current life.

The healer teacher who guides him is also strict at times, but basically kind.

If you follow Joel, the Marquis’ son, even after he graduates, you will be treated well as an exclusive healer.

While transferring the magic herb powder to another bowl,

Bang—! Bang-! Bang-!

A gunshot rang out.

Because of her surprise, she spilled some of the magic vinegar powder.

“Uh, what should I do? This expensive one.”

She honestly said that she made a mistake and had no choice but to take half the price of the magic potion this time.

As she sighed, the hallway outside her was noisy.

“My name is Joel?!”

“No again?!”

It was the voice the instructors shared while running.

‘Joel?’

When there was a gunshot in the academy, it meant that someone had a fight.

Joel could be hurt.

Delia got up right away and started running in her pajamas.

She followed the instructor to the field.

A small garden appeared in front of the cadet dormitory.

There Joel stood there with his horse gun down.

Across from him, three sophomores were rolling on the floor, bleeding.

I was relieved to see that there were no major traumas on his body.

“What is it, Cadet Joel?”

The instructor asked Joel in a serious voice.

Joel sighed and explained.

“The seniors suddenly attacked me. I wonder if I’m using Delia as a plaything, while she says nonsense.”

All three of the second year cadets had weapons in their hands.

And their hearts all stopped.

Joel had killed three sophomores.

Delia approached him and asked.

“Joel, aren’t you hurt? ?”

“Sorry to startle you at night. I dodged all of the seniors’ attacks, so there’s no problem.”

“That’s right. Be great.”

The instructors who came to the scene were silent.

I wonder if it’s true that Joel took down all the seniors in the second year by himself.

Even with the same first year, it is difficult to win in a 1v3 situation, but he doubted how he had killed three people who were stronger than the first year by himself.

A female professor approached Delia.

“Let me ask you something. Have you ever been unfairly instructed or coerced by Candidate Joel?”

“Nothing at all! There is no aristocrat as kind as Joel!! You decided to become an exclusive healer because I asked you to do so! Please don’t spread rumors about Joel!”

“All right, all right, calm down. I was asking for confirmation.”

After that, the instructors took Joel to the newspaper room.

Anyway, a necessary procedure since you killed three cadets.

Delia stood at the door of the newspaper office waiting for him to come out.

Kik-.

After about three hours, Joel opened the door to the newspaper office and walked out.

Delia smiled as she stood in front of him.

“Joel, are you okay… ?”

“No, it’s nothing special.”

Depending on the case, torture or threats are also conducted in the newspaper room.

She once examined his body with magic.

Fortunately, there were no injuries.

A bit of muscle pain.

“Cham Delia. I have something to tell you. Would you like to come to my room for a minute?”

“Oh yes!”

I followed Joel into his room.

It was a room that was still neatly arranged and luxuriously furnished.

It truly felt like a high-ranking aristocrat staying there.

Delia sat down on the bed.

Then he put his butt on the wooden chair.

“I don’t care who your family is. No matter what other people say about your family, I don’t. So don’t be afraid.”

“I really… ?”

“Trust me.”

Joel grins.

For some reason, her heart beat faster.

Would you let this person stay by your side even if you found out about his family?

I was anxious.

But she was full of expectations.

As expected, the yellow butterfly this person has been looking for?

“Boss, it’s almost bedtime.”

“Oh, yes. Delia, let’s talk again later.”

Delia said “Yes, good night… !” She said and went back to her room.

The corners of her mouth twitched as she started making magic potions again.

[You have killed a human.]

Drugs are spreading faster within the academy than the story of the game.

As I was on my way to Delia’s room, three 2nd year cadets suddenly attacked me drunk on drugs.

In that case, Delia’s father is more likely to come to the fore during the first semester or summer vacation.

I could investigate her father by myself without Delia, but it’s best to enlist the help of her daughter, if possible.

It was the same in the game story.

Because of her, she brought her into her room and tried to establish a relationship of trust with her, forcing her a little bit of her.

“Boss, would you like to have more than one lover?”

“Huh?”

Luisa suddenly brought out her nonsense.

“You have only one lover.”

“Yes, Bocchan, you are right. She has one lover.”

As far as I know, empires are not polygamous.

Monogamy.

Then, of course, the lover means her fiancee or wife.

I don’t think Louisa was referring to any other woman she was cheating on as her lover.

Listening to my answer, Louisa smiled contentedly.

It’s a pretty smile, but I don’t understand the purpose of the question….

“Then good night, young boy.”

“Okay, sleep well Luisa too.”

“Yes.”

She blew out her candle and left her room.

I covered the blanket and went to bed.

The next afternoon.

I was thinking about going to the mercenary guild with Lando since the class was over.

“Bocchan, a message has come from the head of the household.”

Louisa said, hurriedly running.

From noble mtl dot com

It’s kind of ominous….

This was not a part of the game story, so I couldn’t predict it.

“What is it about?”

“That…. The head of the family has designated Julian as a candidate for adoption.”

I know that part.

That’s why Elianne was embarrassed after receiving the public proposal yesterday.

Julian is currently the most promising person in the academy.

On the other hand, I, Joel, come last in the entrance exam and have the worst reputation in the academy.

From the perspective of the Marquis, even if I graduate at the top of my class, all I have to do is not expel him from my family.

After that, it wouldn’t matter if we set up a competition for succession with Julian, our adopted son.

“That’s why the head of the family took issue with the boy proposing to Elianne on a fake.”

“Um….”

This part seemed to be the aftermath of yesterday when I publicly announced my intention to reunite.

A blatant intention to assign Elianne to Julian, who has a promising future, rather than assigning Elianne to me who has no prospects.

‘Eliane cannot be taken away from Julian….’

As long as Marquis Jahe gave me direct orders, I cannot go against them.

There is only one way left.

It is conveyed to Marquis Jahe that Julian is not suitable for adoption.

Challenge Julian to a duel and prove he’s weaker than me?

… Difficult.

Yesterday, three 2nd year cadets were able to win only after using the [Time Stop] Skill four times using [Pistol of Thought Offender].

It is now impossible for me to beat a powerful man with a top graduation.

‘The most fatal problem for Julian.’

Use of illegal drugs.

I was going to give Elianne an aphrodisiac and a fertility booster right away.

Shall we search his room for some medicine?

No, it is meaningful only when accompanied by the Knights.

There is no camera in this world, and there is no way to prove that the medicine I submitted was really in his room.

‘Shall I make Eliane accuse me?’

This is also difficult.

Perhaps she fed black tea to the animals to see what medicines were in the tea.

In other words, the physical evidence has disappeared….

In the first place, she probably wouldn’t easily decide to accuse her because of her personality.

The moment she makes an accusation, she will quarrel with the Baekga of Jahe.

“Louisa.”

“Yes.”

“Have someone observe how Julian is doing.”

“Okay.

She has no choice but to set a trap for herself to do wrong.
