52 – Gorgeous Theater Department (3)

Is it because I have been the advisor in charge of the theater department for a long time?

Or is it because he is a professor who has come into contact with countless cadets?

Zenon was explaining today’s schedule to the new members with a fluent speaking skill, unlike Dahlia who was rambling.

“Before we welcome you, we will first see your acting skills. “It doesn’t matter what position you have or whether you have great abilities.”

“All we want to see from you is how much you can enrich our stage. Why? Because this is the theater department. “We have to stand on stage and truly convey our emotions to the audience and create magic that moves their emotions.”

“From now on, we will call each person by name. New members who are called can show acting appropriate to the situation and emotions presented by us on stage. “Oh, it’s a bit difficult to do everything, so let me demonstrate first.”

After finishing his explanation, Zeno went up on stage and asked the cadets in the theater.

“I will try to act like an actor who has gone crazy. This actor loved acting so much that he sold his soul to the Seven Deadly Sins. Our new members, that’s okay, right?”

All the cadets in the theater nodded or answered his mana-filled question.

On the other hand, I had to have doubts while looking at that scene.

It was worth it. The performance that Zeno announced that he would show was not an act, but Zeno’s own story.

That wasn’t the only thing that was puzzling.

‘It wouldn’t have fallen during this time, right?’

As I remember, it was after the next year’s festival that Zeno, who was crazy about acting, sold his soul and became corrupted.

The reason for that was because he felt jealous of a new student who showed better acting skills than himself, who had devoted his entire life to acting.

‘Have you been thinking like that since then?’

As I watch Zeno slowly coming to grips with his emotions, I feel like he could have done that.

“I know what you want.”

As I was contemplating this, Zeno’s voice began to echo throughout the theater.

The eyes turn to the stage as if fascinated.

I see Zenon slowly taking out the dagger from his chest.

-Aaaaah!

It was an instant. As soon as Zeno took out his dagger, he slashed his own forearm without hesitation.

“···!”

“Um, is that called acting?”

Then most of the cadets began to focus on the stage with their mouths covered or their eyes wide in surprise.

“I brought you what you wanted. So please covet my greed, my jealousy, and my past pride.”

Zenon’s right hand draws a black magic circle on the floor. Drip, drip, Zenon’s blood falls into the black magic circle.

His knees bow. His expression changes.

Shedding tears. Burst into laughter

Talk to the devil.

On the one hand, he gets angry, and on the other hand, he rubs his hands and asks earnestly.

“I will capture these miserable and meaningless souls and offer them to you. So!”

Zenon stands up from his seat. The black light emitted from the black magic circle is absorbed into his body.

“Let me tell my eternal story to everyone.”

There is silence inside the theater. The flow of mana that had been distorted near Zeno returned, and his once violent expression returned to calm.

He turns his head. His thin lips open with a faint smile,

“Haha, how was it?”

He asked. How was his own acting?

“···!”

Then all the cadets clapped their hands and cheered as if they were fascinated.

I, too, gave thunderous applause out of admiration.

Because I was also immersed in his emotions and received his emotions keenly.

I had no choice but to admit it.

Really, his acting skills are outstanding, as if he gained it by selling his soul to the devil.

*****

After Zenon’s demonstration performance was over.

The new members stood on stage one after another and performed passionately in accordance with Zeno’s requests.

‘It’s serious.’

The problem is that the actions unfolding in front of you feel more like ‘play’ rather than ‘acting.’

“Get rid of it, greed! Yes, I will take your head!”

When asked to express the fight against the Seven Deadly Sins, Fran clumsily swings his sword and shouts.

And then, after hearing the shout, Dahlia and Damon place their hands on their foreheads and can be heard muttering quietly.

“I’ve never seen acting like that in my life… By the way, Damon, how many times have we told him that greed is a woman?”

“Seven times to be exact. In my opinion, he will never be able to date. “I’m really sure.”

Is it because I heard an extremely correct evaluation? My head nodded reflexively.

“You’re good…”

“I guess so…”

“It’s of a high standard.”

As I was doing that, I heard nonsense coming from next to me.

When she turned her head, Rose and Daisy, who had been ‘playing’ rather than ‘acting’, were looking at Fran with envious eyes, and Lily, who had not yet been able to ‘play’, nervously placed both of her hands at her. Was gathering in his chest.

“···.”

When I saw that, I had to reflexively nod my head again.

It was worth it. The ‘talent’ that Rose and Daisy showed on stage a while ago was more than enough to envy Fran’s acting skills.

-“Huh, allow me! You are a match made in heaven!”

Rose, who was standing on stage, said that while stuttering her words.

For your information, Rose’s role was that of her teacher who had to chase away her noble daughter who came to ask for permission to marry her beloved student.

-“Ah, ahhh! “If you do this, you’ll be in trouble!”

Daisy, her face red, fell down on the stage and said that.

For reference, Daisy’s role was that of a wizard in a warrior party who had to deal with a fallen warrior, but she seemed to have completely misunderstood the meaning of ‘opponent’.

‘At least these guys are better.’

I looked at Seiji, who was sullen, and then blamed Zenon.

As expected, Zenon ended up giving Seiji the role of a woman who was blinded by love.

-“I have big breasts.”

Clumsy tone of voice, hand position that makes it embarrassing to even speak.

When I think about the catastrophe that happened just a moment ago, I put my hand on my forehead.

“Next is Seo, Seong… No, Lily!”

As Fran comes down from the stage with a triumphant expression, Dahlia’s voice, still distraught, can be heard.

“Immanuel.”

Lily made the sign of the cross with a determined expression as if she was going to fight a war against demons, and then she went straight to the stage.

I looked at that figure closely.

Honestly, I was looking forward to it. Because I was able to see the acting of a saint that I never imagined I would see in a game.

Whether she is ‘acting’ or ‘playing tricks’.

It was very obvious that the scene that would unfold in a moment would be a scene that would never be seen again even if I were paid hundreds of millions of dollars.

“Here, I would like to treat you as a member of the theater club and not as a saint, would you mind?”

Zenon asked Lily, who stood politely on stage for the first time today, whether her status as a saint was great.

“Of course.”

“Okay, what role should we ask Lily to play?”

When Lily answered, Zenon immediately showed an amused expression and began to carefully look through his notebook, which seemed to have various roles written down.

“This will be fine.”

“Anything.”

“Could you possibly act as a priest exorcising demons?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s begin.”

“Professor?”

The moment Zenon was about to clap his hands with a satisfied expression, Lily looked at Zenon and called out.

“I’m sorry, but could I ask you to act opposite me?”

“Sangdae Station? Oh, are you asking me to play the role of the devil?”

“Yes, if possible.”

“Ha, haha! Of course not! “Let me go up.”

Was Lily’s request that much of a request? Zenon immediately got up from his seat and started heading towards the stage.

“You can start right away from the moment I step up.”

As he said that, Zenon slowly raised his emotions. The expression changes.

It was amazing. It seemed like he was smiling happily earlier, but now he’s smiling full of pure malice.

And it wasn’t just Zeno whose expression was changing.

‘Oh.’

Lily’s expression was also becoming quite serious. Her once powerless crimson eyes are sparkling with life. Her expression, which seemed like it would be tense, begins to become stern.

-Chiik.

I didn’t think of that. Lily seemed to have been waiting for this moment, and before she knew it, she was lighting a candle in her mouth.

“Hehe, hehe, hehehe?”

Zenon approaches Lily, twisting his body in a realistic way.

Seeing that, Lily’s dainty lips open, and her delicate hand reaches towards him.

“You foolish soul dominated by greed.”

“Huh, huh?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“You are coveting someone else’s body and imitating it.”

Pure white light radiates from his hands. Zenon, who was approaching Lily, frowned harshly.

“My faith is sharp enough to cut through your vain desires.”

“S-don’t be damned!”

“My heart is sacred, and it will erase your greed.”

“Hey, you heavenly galboy!”

Zenon runs towards him. The light contained in the saint’s hand erupts and attacks Zeno.

“You corrupted one, please apologize to the one who loved your desires and disappear.”

-Aaaaah!

“Quaaaaagh!”

The theater is engulfed in pure white light. Zeno, who played the role of the devil, falls to the ground, sheds tears, and cries out in pain.

“···.”

The light disappears. Zenon, who had fallen in place, wriggled.

There is silence on the stage, and the cadets who are watching this blink their eyes.

“Ha, ha ha!”

What broke the silence was the sound of Zeno’s laughter, who was lying face down in his place.

He stood up, straightened his tangled hair and gave his thumbs up to Lily.

“Lily, you were truly the best.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“Now, everyone applaud Lily for her excellent performance!”

Zenon smiles brightly and invites applause from the cadets.

The cadets who saw that had to applaud with a look of fascination.

“Wow…”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t applaud as my mouth was wide open.

Did he recognize me like that?

The saint who was coming down from the stage gave me a subtle look.

I met his gaze and quietly nodded.
