I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

59 – Uninhabited Island (4)

On the second day, I collected magic stones in the same way as the first day.

As if everyone has gotten used to it, the subjugation speed is much faster than the first day.

There were three full pockets.

At this level, without a doubt, we ranked first in the midterm practical test.

From now on, there will be no problem if you play a little more leisurely.

If nothing happens.

‘I don’t know, so let’s investigate.’

Perhaps they will start moving in earnest from tomorrow.

If possible, it’s better to deal with the incident before it happens than to react after it happens.

Immediately after returning to the coastal cave, I stopped the party members before entering the tent.

“Get up for a bit at noon today and head east.”

“East?” Asked Lando.

There was no way to specifically answer the question of why I had to go.

I haven’t seen any clear signs, and that’s why it’s strange to say that I know the future.

There is no proper basis….

“It’s my intuition, but it’s kind of weird. It’s hard to explain, but I have a bad feeling.”

I have no choice but to ask you to trust me.

To be honest, moving the entire party with only intuition is a bit irrational.

Looking at the current situation, the correct answer is to collect monsters with a whistle at night and defeat them to raise points.

“I trust Joel’s intuition. No, you have to believe it!”

Caitlyn was the first to react.

Come to think of it, she is someone who wants my intuition to be right, even for the success of her new business.

… Actually, it’s just different from the original story, so it’s best to have nothing on the uninhabited island.

Then Benedetta spoke.

“It was all thanks to Sir Joel that I was able to catch monsters so efficiently. If Sir Joel has a bad feeling, I think he should follow suit.”

Louisa and Elianne follow my words almost unconditionally.

The only one left now was Lando.

“Joel’s words are never wrong, so of course I believe them!”

It’s a bit different from the game story, especially in terms of human relationships, but it seemed good at times like this.

Because even if the evidence was intuition, they believed it.

… Having a harem is a good thing, of course.

“Then let’s get up at noon today.”

“”Yes!”” “Yes.”

***

A party of 2 male cadets and 2 female cadets caught a chicken-type monster.

I cut the heart with a knife and took out the magic stone inside.

Then he put the magic stone he took out into a cloth bag.

“It’s f*cking hard….”

“So. Killing monsters is easy, but finding them is really….”

I ran all over the forest, but I couldn’t even fill a cloth bag.

Only half full in two days.

If you share such a small amount among four people, it was almost nothing.

One male cadet sat down on the ground.

Soon there was a growl in his stomach.

I had to keep moving, but I didn’t eat much, so I got hungry right away.

“This is really hard.”

“In my heart, I want to abstain.”

Haa….

All four let out a long sigh.

0 Points if you forfeit.

Considering how despised Joel was when he got in last place for getting a low score on the academy entrance exam, it was a score he never deserved.

However, if I continued like this, I could only avoid 0 points and could not get a good score.

The female cadet muttered.

“Let’s steal another party.”

The other party members also recalled the test rules explained by the instructor right before the test started.

It doesn’t matter if you steal other students’ magic stones.

As long as you don’t attack to the point of death.

The party that luckily encountered the monsters must have collected a lot of magic stones by now.

If so, wouldn’t it be more efficient to attack the party and steal the manastone pouch than wander aimlessly through the forest?

A silent agreement was reached between the four of them.

“Anyway, let’s go around again.”

“Yes.”

The party proceeds cautiously to the east of the island.

In the meantime, I’ve been mainly going to the southern forest, but surprisingly there were quite a few monsters left in the east.

Coming to think of it, most of the cadets caught monsters in the southern forest, so they should have gone to the other forest instead of the southern forest from the beginning.

While she kept putting magic stones in her pocket, a male cadet,

“Hey, over there.”

I found a group of strange attire.

I wore clothes that didn’t show any skin at all and wore a hood with a cone.

I couldn’t even tell the gender because of the baggy clothes.

Still, it looked like a human.

“The pockets are so big.”

“They must have killed a lot of monsters here.”

“You mean there are that many magic stones, right?”

At times like this, it would have been more convenient to have a back-up dealer, but all four of them regretted it.

Still, you just need to approach from behind and open your pockets.

Just in time, the large pouch was held by the person at the far end of the group.

All four of them drew their weapons in preparation for an unexpected situation.

And one of the female students who could hide the most was put in the lead.

The female cadet cautiously approached, slowing down the sound of footsteps.

The moment she reached out her arms and reached for her pockets.

“The sacrifice came on its own.”

f*ck—.

The female cadet’s stomach was stabbed deeply with something like a red, sharp awl.

“Kuk!”

She coughed up blood and immediately lost consciousness.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

After grasping the situation, the rest of the party members rushed at the group.

“You bastard!!”

Are you doing something like this, knowing that if it leads to serious injury or death, you will feel punished?

I couldn’t understand it, but my anger boiled over.

A female cadet cast a support spell on two male cadets.

Shortly thereafter, the two brandished their swords and spears, intending to kill the man in the cowl hood.

“You’re stupid.”

Red liquid appeared as thin and long as a whip.

All the heads fell to the floor, including the two male cadets as well as the female cadet who cast the support spell.

Separated from the torso.

A silent death without even a scream.

After cutting the four corpses to fit, I opened the pouch.

In that place, each part of the human body was already full.

“Brother, it is time to wake up.”

At noon, Louisa gently shook me awake.

… I felt it every time, but it was almost as accurate as a human alarm clock.

As if I woke up first, Ellie Anne was sleeping next to her.

She was really pretty long.

There were many opinions about her among game users, but there were no likes or dislikes as much as her beauty.

“Wake up, Elianne.”

He tapped her shoulder lightly.

Then she said, “Ugh….” He rubbed her eyes.

I immediately raised her back and she grinned at my face.

“Good night, Joel.”

The unwashable environment, all three of us, had a bit of frizzy hair.

I simply combed their hair with my hand.

“Thank you, young master.”

“Thank you. I’ll do Joel’s hair too.”

Louisa and Elianne worked together to straighten my hair.

Sleeping outdoors, even in a tent, is unfamiliar.

I was just grateful that he obeyed my words without a word of complaint.

When I went outside the tent, Benedetta and Caitlyn were stretching.

“Looks like Lando will wake up the latest today.”

There was a fact that I learned while camping together this time.

Lando sleeps a lot.

If you don’t have enough time to sleep, you have to be woken up to wake up.

That’s why she usually goes to bed early unconditionally to secure time for sleep.

I wondered if it was because he had a lot of inherent power because he was the heir of the hero.

First of all, since Landau is a man, I, the same man, went into his bedroom.

Then I told him to get up at his bedside.

… I felt like waking up a senior in the army.

“Ah, Joel…. Sorry, today.”

“It’s okay.”

Stretched, he quickly arranged the bedding and came out of the tent.

Since everyone was ready, we started walking towards the eastern forest as we discussed before going to sleep.

Caitlyn, who was in the lead, stopped her feet.

“Monster!”

“Aren’t you confused with wild animals?”

“No!! This time it must be a monster!”

It was a D-class monster [Horned Rabbit].

As expected, low level monsters roamed around during the day.

You don’t have to shoot something like this with a shotgun.

He lifted a normal horse gun and fired it.

Bang—!

The rabbit’s head, which was hit directly by the magic bullet, was destroyed beyond recognition.

… Somehow, it died more grotesquely than other monsters.

Caitlyn didn’t care much and took out the [Horned Rabbit]’S magic stone.

“Come to think of it, does rabbit meat taste good? I have never eaten.”

At the academy, there were many animal-oriented dishes that I was relatively familiar with, such as cow, pig, chicken, and duck.

I’ve never eaten rabbit meat like Caitlin.

Eli Anne replied with a nod of her head.

“It’s plain. Stews are better than steaks.”

Luisa explained in detail how to cook rabbit meat stew.

Unexpectedly, it seemed to be a common meat in the Empire.

I put the [Horn Rabbit] Magic stone in the cloth bag and walked towards the eastern forest again.

Is there an entrance to an underground hideout in the middle of the eastern forest?

If there is, the occurrence of the event is unconditional.

She reached the eastern forest.

Now, if you go a little further from here, you will find yourself in the middle of the eastern forest.

But Caitlyn stopped her steps.

Did you find a monster?

“What are they? I don’t know if he’s a cadet.”

“Why is that?”

“Your clothes are weird.”

She told me the characteristics of her clothes.

A baggy black suit.

Above all, the most distinctive thing is the cone hood.

He added that he was also dragging a large cloth bag.

‘Sir….’

From noble mtl dot com

It’s too late.

I never thought that human hunting would be faster than the game story.

The past cannot be helped.

The pouch is probably full of the corpses of the cadets to be sacrificed.

We have to stop putting those corpses on the altar.

“Kill. That outfit, the one worn by the heretics.”

“Are you a pagan?”

Eli Anne opened her eyes wide.

“As far as I know, they are not human.”

“Then what the heck… ?”

“Vampires.”
