44 – Hilda’s Advice

I thought to myself after hearing Hilda’s question.

‘Honestly, it’s funny.’

Mana like the ocean held within,

A 7th circle archmage who is ranked among the top ten on the continent.

I’m not saying that Hilda is funny.

It was just funny that Hilda didn’t do much in the game compared to her abilities.

To be honest, Hilda was definitely a person and principal who deserved respect.

Benevolent, honest and innocent character,

Diligence and achievement that can serve as an example to others,

The sense of responsibility that has been dedicated to the Academy for 40 years.

‘Then what do you do? ‘You just got hurt every time.’

Unfortunately, Hilda in the game was a character who always suffered.

‘No matter how much it is an academy game, it is true.’

Chaos cult groups would often creep into the academy.

Cadets and professors were frequently consumed by demonic energy or corrupted.

Is that all? When there was a little silence, terrifying beings such as ancient monsters and the Seven Deadly Sins would knock on the academy’s door, and in the end, the evil god ‘Vulginus’ even descended on Aden Academy.

So maybe it was only natural.

Hilda, who was struggling in many ways, died while struggling in the game.

“I never thought about it that way.”

I thought about this for a moment and answered Hilda, who had already come a short distance away.

“Okay. However···.”

Then, Hilda furrowed her eyebrows and spoke in a voice full of anger.

“Are you asking me to believe that you, who did not lose your sanity even in the face of beings summoned during the entrance exam, were at best affected by mental magic?”

When I think about it, it is true.

“Oh dear. “If you don’t look down on me, you’d better be honest.”

“No, principal.”

I was so offended by Hilda’s attitude of questioning me as if I was interrogating her after calling her over, I decided to confess.

“Are you saying I did something wrong?”

“That’s not true…”

“I don’t know exactly because I lost my mind. From what I experienced, the mental magic that was prevalent in the cave was clearly mixed with demonic energy. What this means is that someone presumed to be a member of the Chaos Church intruded into the ‘Cave of Training’. Is that correct?”

“We assume that.”

“Then I will ask. What kind of psychopath would lose his mind when a member of the Chaos Cult invaded? “Isn’t it natural for a normal person to try to do something, whether it be by going to a professor or finding a member of a Chaotic Church?”

“Yeah, that’s right. But what does this guy do in front of adults…”

After speaking, I felt bitter for a moment, as if I had become mentally ill, but I continued the momentum without stopping my tongue, which had been activated for the first time in a long time.

“Principal. I am a victim. “The victim lost consciousness due to mental magic and almost lost his life to an unidentified being believed to be a member of the Chaos Church.”

“But why do I have to be treated like a criminal by the principal like now? “If you were to judge the fault, wasn’t it more the Academy’s fault for not fixing lax security than my fault for almost dying?”

“And if something like this happens, shouldn’t we conduct a thorough investigation and take action as soon as possible? But why is the academy schedule continuing as is, and why are the talented professors heading to the classroom instead of the crime scene? Are you afraid the cadets will be confused? “I think you know better than me what’s scarier than the cadets’ confusion, don’t you think?”

I fired at Hilda like a rapid-fire gun, and Hilda, whose eyes were wide, was already reaping the mana she had built up.

‘I feel refreshed.’

Actually, the things I said were not something I came up with on the spot, but rather complaints that had accumulated since my previous life whenever I came across novels or games set in the academy.

But I said this all at once to the principal.

There was no way I wouldn’t feel refreshed.

“Now that I look at our little boy, he seems to have a worse temper than he appears.”

Do I feel like I am admiring myself like that? Principal Hilda softened her expression and asked me.

“Why are you so angry? “It was a joke.”

Hilda smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

And Dian saw that.

“Puhup.”

I was desperately holding back laughter.

“No…”

“Giggles, my joke was too mischievous. I’m sorry. Now, let’s sit down.”

“Igel, where are you looking at this joke…”

“It’s a joke. So did you really mean it? Actually, I was waiting for you because I wanted to tell you something, but I was so bored being alone with that guy. So I gave it a try.”

“···.”

I sat down, feeling like I was experiencing something for the first time since I was possessed.

‘Why do I feel like I lost?’

I had a doubt. He spoke brilliantly and clearly won the argument.

Why am I feeling this way?

“Carmel Cadet. First, take off your clothes.”

In the meantime, I hear Dian’s nonsense.

“Yes?”

At that nonsense, I frowned like a demon and turned my head towards Dian.

“Why are you looking at me like that? “I was hit by demonic energy, so I wanted to check on my physical condition.”

“Ah…”

Is it something like that? Feeling embarrassed that I had misunderstood, I secretly looked at the principal’s thoughts.

Then.

“Kuh, huh. Dian, that’s pretty cool.”

What you see is Principal Hilda, who is holding back her laughter and then bursts out.

“It was a joke.”

Dian had such a disgusting expression on his face that I wanted to jump right in and hit his head.

“···.”

Suddenly a thought occurred to me. It seems like there are people I want to kill more than Count Kayden, who I killed a while ago, or Green, who I killed not long ago.

No, where on earth is the point of laughter?

“Let’s stop the editorial here and have a serious conversation. “Sweetheart, this old man wants to ask you a few questions.”

Has he noticed the momentum of Ha Geuk-sang? Hilda lightened her mood and she started asking me questions.

Where did you learn swordsmanship and magic?

What kind of person was the teacher who gave the instructions?

Do you have any stories?

What are your goals at the academy?

Someone asks such serious questions.

“Oh, is the teacher pretty?”

“Ah, he was the one that Cadet Rose called out. “What would you think if I offered you a professorship?”

Just listening to it made me feel excited, and he also asked a question that made me fiddle with the sword attached to my waist.

“Can I go now?”

After vaguely answering all the questions, I asked while rubbing my tired eyes.

“Ah, it’s the last time. “This time it’s not a question, it’s an advice.”

“Please stop… No, just say something.”

“Like other cadets, you will especially have to study hard in the ‘Resistance Art’ class.”

“···?”

It was a question that made me tilt my head.

I am immune to all mental magic, as long as I am a being with magical energy, so I must diligently take a resistance class.

“Professor Zikel happened to be teaching ‘resistance techniques’ to first-year cadets. “He may have a terrible personality, but he’s better than me in that field, so I’ll learn a lot from him.”

I, who was on the verge of mental illness, was able to escape from the principal’s office after receiving meaningful advice from Hilda.

After sending out Camel Cadet.

Dian asked Hilda.

“How do you feel?”

“How do you feel?”

“Yes.”

“It’s the same with the mana and momentum that I sometimes feel. It was an absolute monster. “He even talks so well, I wonder where he came from.”

After hearing Hilda’s answer, Dian shrugged her shoulders and said.

“This is a gem I discovered.”

The principal, Hilda, who saw that, frowned and answered.

“Even if you hadn’t discovered it, of course you would have been chosen.”

Although it was an obvious answer, Dian stood up with a sullen expression.

A training ground where ‘resistance techniques’ lectures are scheduled to begin soon.

Seiji was looking puzzled at the four men and women standing in front of her.

“Well, I was really sorry last time. “We should have stopped him…”

“I know you won’t forgive me if I do this. “Still, I think I need to apologize.”

Pia and Joa were brought in by Ketil and Linda and were bowing their heads and apologizing to them.

“I felt like I didn’t apologize properly last time because I fainted, so I came here to apologize again. “I’m sorry, truly.”

“I will never do that again. And if there is anything we can help you with, we will help you first no matter what.”

Ketil and Linda, who were watching this, were also crying and apologizing to him.

“I’m fine, but…”

Sage was embarrassed. It’s not that I like them, but that doesn’t mean I have any feelings for them.

“Ah.”

While the clever Seiji was pondering, he came up with a pretty good idea.

“Then, how about helping me in the future?”

These people have feelings of guilt towards themselves.

So wouldn’t it be more advantageous for oneself to learn about feelings from those who feel guilty rather than from others?

After thinking about that, Seiji added her words to her men and women who were answering anything.

“Please follow me from now on. That would be good for both of us.”

Become your own friend and teach me about your emotions.

Sage said this with that intention, but the stance of those who accepted it was a little different.

“Uh, yes!”

“Well, order anything.”

“Choi, I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you. “For accepting us.”

Now, it was the moment when a new leader for Ketil, Linda, Pia, and Joa was born.

I was looking at Seiji happily.

‘It’s amazing.’

You are thinking of subduing your former enemies and using them as shuttles.

I guess it’s because it’s a side of Seiji that we haven’t seen in the game. Her emotions were endless, and her heart was pounding.

“Carmel, tell me honestly.”

Meanwhile, the sweet scent of roses reached her nose.

Turning her head, she saw Rose pouting her mouth.

“What?”

“You slept with him, right?”

“What nonsense is that?”

“I saw it in a book. “A man and a woman who have their first night together look at each other with affection.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“You were just looking at him, and a moment ago you even started laughing like a pervert. “He keeps glancing at you, too.”

Where on earth did he read this book to say something like this?

Had doubts, I sighed and argued back.

“Rose, have you forgotten that I collapsed yesterday and went to the recovery room?”

“Oh, that’s right. You fell without any resistance. Look at my mind. How worried I was… “I’m sorry, but are you okay?”

When I asked a question, Rose then began to carefully examine my body.

‘It’s not like I couldn’t resist at all.’

Rather, it was all swept away.

She wanted to say that because of how she felt, but she held it back with difficulty.

Because she wore a mask and hid her identity from Seiji, it seemed like there would be no good thing if she told Rose, who was glaring at Seiji.

“Shouldn’t you at least take care of yourself?”

“That would be nice, but…”

It wasn’t a bad offer. Now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve been eating too roughly these days.

“Shall I help you?”

As I was thinking for a moment, Rose smiled and asked me.

“Well, is there anything good?”

Well, even though Rose comes from a viscount family, she is a noblewoman after all, so she probably eats better at better restaurants than I do.

Thinking like that, I asked Rose back.

“Yes.”

“···.”

Rose, her face suddenly turning red, continued her words by folding her arms together as if to emphasize her chest.

“I read in a book that there is nothing better for your health than the spirit world. “It just so happens that we’re here… Wow!”

As I was listening to the answer, I had to put a balm on Rose’s forehead as usual.

I think about this every time, but I don’t know how he ended up like this. Anyway, it definitely looks worse than before.

“There, black hair and red hair.”

Then, I heard a nervous voice calling me and Rose.

“Even though class has started, are you still arguing instead of just chatting?”

When did you come in?

When I turned my head to the source of the voice, I saw the professor who had just come in, brushing up his orange hair and looking at us with a prickly expression.

“Cadets are deducted points.”

“Oh, no!”

The professor deducted points from us in a nervous tone, and Rose despaired, sounding as if the world was collapsing.

‘I was a professor.’

I looked at the professor who gave us points and thought.

Why did Hilda single out that professor and tell me?

Jikelle was clearly an extra-level professor who had no story whatsoever.
