The Only Male Student in the Academy

048. Mid-boss (3)

I went into the back of the building to avoid being noticed by the other students.

Claire was rolling her eyes here and there, as if anxious.

“What are you trying to do…”

Claire speaks in a creeping voice.

I was a bit taken aback by the appearance of a rabbit facing a wolf.

‘Honestly, I didn’t want to ask this guy….’

But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no other way.

“Send me into the mirror room.”

Slightly forceful.

There is a place called the Mirror Room in Philea Academy.

Simply put, it is like a CCTV room, a space where you can look around anywhere inside the floating island.

At first I tried to tail Lucius, but

As a result of examining various conditions, it was concluded that it is practically impossible.

In this mansion battle, Lapisca will participate instead of Tia.

The problem is that Lapiska has a search skill, so if she clumsily follows her, she will be caught.

If I were a thief, I wouldn’t know. To follow only one invisibility cloak…… The difficulty level was high.

Above all, because this mid-boss fight continues in the form of a ‘mansion battle’, the melee continues.

If I make a mistake while following, I might get swept into battle.

So there was no other way to observe the battle situation from a distance.

To do that, I had no choice but to use Claire.

‘There are 4 conditions for entering the Mirror Room.’

1. An executive of the student council.

2. Member of the Leading Division.

3. A member of the Student Knights.

4. A companion of a student who meets the above conditions. (Up to 2 people)

Although Claire’s personality can only be described as damn good.

Anyway, even this guy’s combat skills are excellent among freshmen, so he’s a decent member of the Student Knights.

So, Claire has the right to enter the mirror room by satisfying the condition number 3.

As Claire’s companion, I intended to enter the mirror room through condition number 4.

I don’t really like it because it seems like he’s holding on to Claire’s weakness.

What can I do? The situation is also quite urgent, so you should use it at times like this.

I thought so,

“……I can’t enter the mirror room.”

That’s what Claire said.

“What do you mean? You’re a student knight.”

“……I was suspended.”

“Suspension?”

Claire nodded.

“……I got three F’s in this midterm exam.”

It took me a while to understand what that meant.

No, in fact, I understood right away on the spot. He just couldn’t accept it.

… Claire said three subjects or F’s?

Claire not only has excellent fighting skills, but also has a good brain. Even this guy, he goes without knowing he’s trying.

Contrary to what it looks like, should I say sincere?

Since this guy is also in a position to lead his followers, he has no choice but to train himself in order not to look down on him.

On top of that, he said he likes to make an unexpected effort to endure boredom…… I remember there being something like that.

But it’s an F…… ?

Not just one subject, but three subjects…… ?

“…Student Knights don’t look at their skills, they look at their grades….That’s why, if you get a failing grade, you’re automatically suspended.”

“I know that, but…”

“Because that’s how it happened, …I-I can’t go in.”

Claire said with a trembling voice.

…… Is it because of me?

No matter how much I think about it, there is only one thing that comes to mind. Did Claire ruin the midterm because she lost the match against me…… ?

The causal relationship is unclear….

To receive a failing grade for losing a match against me. What the hell happened….

“…If you don’t have any business, I’ll go.”

Claire suddenly turned her back.

There was no time to hold on. It wasn’t even an atmosphere to hold on to.

“It’s happened… I can’t enter the mirror room like this…”

Would you like to recognize someone else? …… By what means

At least I was able to talk to her because she was Claire, but I wouldn’t be able to talk to the other students.

How about this….

“If you want to enter the mirror room, I’ll help you.”

At that time, a voice was heard.

A voice from the air.

Just when I thought about it, it suddenly appeared.

In the sunlight, her silver hair shines beautifully.

Inorganic silver eyes were undoubtedly looking at me, but I feel as if nothing is shining.

Unknowingly, I swallow my breath.

It looks like it will be sucked in.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the strange atmosphere that was hard to think of as human.

“Hello.”

The girl greets her as if nothing is wrong.

Erea Blainclet.

A girl called the strongest in the academy was in front of my eyes.

“Come in.”

Era opened the door and guided me.

There, I inadvertently saw Era’s face.

“…Is it really okay to be like this?”

The mirror room is a place where only qualified students are allowed to enter.

Of course, if you have permission to accompany, even a normal student like me can enter, but it is a problem that Erua gave that permission.

The top of the 2nd year overall and the strongest in the academy.

Recognized for her performance in all sorts of adventures, she qualifies for her Honorary Student Knights, and no one within her academy can stand against her.

Not only that.

Her true value lies not in herself but in her mentor.

The ‘Adventure King’, who is said to stand at the pinnacle of all adventurers.

The only disciple of the ‘Adventure King’ is Erra Blainclet.

What does that mean for Philea Academy, an adventurer nurturing institution?

From noble mtl dot com

They must be like idols that cannot be approached.

Someone like that.

‘… Are you really letting me into the mirror room?’

Me, a male student, in a space where only some students can enter.

Is it just the two of you?

“No problem with the regulations.”

That’s what Era said.

I involuntarily let out a sigh.

Era…… Would you say you don’t notice? Do you think she can’t read people’s minds?

No, it would be more accurate to say that she doesn’t try to read people’s minds at all.

If someone else saw it, it wouldn’t be strange even if rumors spread.

But Era doesn’t understand that.

She doesn’t understand the rumor itself, She

She doesn’t understand what’s the matter with rumors,

I don’t understand what kind of damage the problems caused by rumors will cause.

Erra is that kind of person.

“If there’s no problem, what’s up…”

I knew long ago that it would be a loss to argue with this guy.

In terms of performance, it is a Tier 1 character, but it has already been rumored among users that its communication skills are of the lowest grade.

That’s why it’s commonly called Ebung.

‘That’s why I don’t understand….’

Why did Erua, who had little contact with me, go so far?

“Why are you helping me?”

I asked a question to someone who could not expect an answer.

Then the answer came back.

“Because I care.”

Er-A answered that with her calm expression.

… Judging by her attitude, she doesn’t seem to want to explain further.

Knowing that she is such a person, she asks additional questions.

“What did you care about?”

“Ariel.”

“…What part of me bothered you?”

“That, I don’t know.”

Era spoke with an inorganic expression.

… She hasn’t even spoken a few words, and she’s already tired.

‘You care about me…. It’s not like he fell for me….’

She was just in case, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s not that kind of character.

She is basically a character who has no interest in anything other than adventure and mentor. It is a character whose emotions have died in the first place.

There’s no way a guy like that would have romantic feelings for me.

…… So what is it really?

“So where do you want to see?”

At some point, Erea approached the mirror.

She seemed to be thinking of directly manipulating the mirror to reflect the screen.

“…The dungeon of Quilas Mansion.”

After answering that, Er A nodded her head and manipulated her mirror.

It was a skillful move, as if she had done it several times.

As magic permeates the mirror, the interior situation of the dungeon of the Quillas Mansion is revealed.

“There are a lot of people… There are no monsters…?”

Looking into her mirror, Er A raises her eyebrows as if wondering.

She had a rare human expression. Even though she has little ups and downs in her emotions, she reacts in this way to things related to adventure.

As Erea muttered, the ‘Quillas Mansion Dungeon’ had no monsters at all, putting the name of the dungeon to shame.

Instead, students from the faction of the Duke of Bamir are filling the space.

The image of Tia trapped in a prison-like place where she is tightly tied to a chair is reflected,

The images of the aristocratic students guarding the area are also reflected in the mirror.

Look in any mirror.

Wherever you look.

There is a human figure.

“Did you not hear. The dungeon of the Quilas Mansion was completely invaded by the faction of the Duke of Bamir not too long ago.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

It seemed that Errea was indifferent to her rumors, so she was late in receiving information.

I thought so.

[Is this the Quilas Mansion dungeon that Marie Ruhelif was talking about?]

After sitting in her seat and waiting for a while, Ron’s voice echoed in the mirror.

The figure of Lucius and the others ahead of the fence of the mansion is reflected in the mirror.

[A mansion dungeon, it’s an unusual dungeon.]

[Does junior Lucius not know? It is said that it was a mansion built by a professor a long time ago, but as the professor disappeared, it became a dungeon.]

[That’s what happened.]

[Let’s talk about that slowly later. So what are you going to do?]

[How to do it. It’s obvious, junior Ron. I have to run wild.]

Saying that, Lapiska raised her weapon.

A sword in his right hand. Gun in left hand.

As Lapiska lunges in front of her, she fires her gun at the aristocratic students guarding her front door.

[Intruder… ! It’s an intruder!]

[The intruder…… 3Rd Year Senior, Lapiska!?]

[Hello, juniors. I’ll pass for a while.]

Speaking lightly, Lapiska swings her sword and fires at her.

It was like an acrobatics.

She casually throws her sword from her hand and stabs her distant enemy in the shoulder.

Then, she draws her dagger and burrows into the enemy’s arms, transitioning into close combat.

She slashes through some enemies, then stretches her arm out to the side to wield a spear that suddenly shoots out of the air.

3Rd year senior, Lapiska.

She was called ‘Weapon Master’ by her students.

‘Fortunately, the lapiska of this world is strong.’

I was relieved to see that Lapis Car was doing well.

In the original work, Lapisca was a character with mixed likes and dislikes. Because the difficulty of manipulation is enormous.

Her defense is terribly low, and she has only two survival skills, but her performance is missing somewhere.

However, Lapiska can swap various weapons.

She’s a character that has everything in theory: range, damage, dash, crowd control, etc.

She was a character whose hands were overly busy due to the fact that she had to constantly change her weapon.

As far as I know, there is no player who can perfectly control the lapisca.

Even I, who played 1532 hours, gave up on playing Lapisca.

Fortunately, the Lapisca in this world is not a player-controlled character.

Humans who move by their own will.

The woman reflected in her mirror was showing 100% performance.

[Ask for support! Stop Lapisca no matter what!]

One of the students guarding the door of the mansion shouted, and students appeared from all over the mansion and blocked Lucius’ path.

But it was an obvious handshake.

If he was going to stop Lucius and the others, he should have stepped back once. It would have been a different story if I had dealt with Lucius after properly preparing and reorganizing my camp.

Unfortunately, none of the aristocratic students there knew the tactics properly.

She appeared one after another to put out the urgent fire and rushed at Lucius and the others, but were attacked by Lapiska and were defeated one by one.

No one could stop Lapisca.

‘There’s no need to worry.’

Shall we say that there is an excessive difference in skills between Lapisca, the senior in the third year, and the rest?

If you had used the right tactics, you could have stopped Lapisca, but in the end, it’s a mere student who is guarding the mansion.

It would be harsh to ask them for skills or tactics to defeat Lapisca.

“Are they friends?”

Ela, who was watching the game with peace of mind, spoke to her.

She didn’t understand what she was talking about at first. It was an overly absurd question.

“You mean Lucius and Ron?”

“That’s a name.”

“…I’m not really friends with those guys. I know them, though.”

“Then why?”

“Why?”

She wondered if there was another reason for not being friends, but she knew that Er Ah was asking for something else.

It is the ‘why’ of ‘why did you ask me to show you the situation in the dungeon of the Quilas Mansion?’

‘Speech is true….’

She thought it was very frustrating, but when she thought about it, she realized that she had never explained to Er Ah why she wanted to enter the mirror room.

Conversely, I also wonder why Erua led me to the mirror room without listening to any explanation.

“I heard that the tiara girl suddenly disappeared, and I thought it was Rose Eiffeltain. If that’s the case, I’m sure she was imprisoned in the dungeon of Quilas Mansion, which was occupied by the Duke of Bamir’s faction.”

“Hmm…?”

Er Ah nodded her head vaguely.

She’s a face that I couldn’t understand even if I pretended to.

… In the first place, Erua probably didn’t even know who Rose and Tia were.

So maybe he wanted to watch my reaction rather than listen to the contents of the answer.

‘…… It’s difficult, this guy.’

The way of thinking is difficult to understand, the way of speaking is difficult, and the place where it appears is completely random.

I can’t meet you even if I want to meet you, and there are situations where I have to meet you even if I don’t want to…… A character like a typhoon.

But he says he cares about me.

“…….”

She sighed involuntarily.

One piece of bad news.

And is there any good news?

First of all, the bad news is that he is not a character that can be controlled.

It is a character with too much randomness, but among them, he is the most powerful among the academy students.

It’s not like Claire can win, and it’s not the kind of character I can dominate.

So no matter what kind of feelings Erua has towards me…… She has no choice but to let it go.

But if there is something fortunate about it.

Is it because Erua is not a villain, and he is a character who does not have much weight in the story?

She’s a tough guy, but she won’t destroy me like Claire.

Even if she does something, she won’t exert any influence on Lucius, so there’s no need to worry about that.

She’s such a weird guy.

It’s strong enough to knock out all the academy students by itself, but it doesn’t have much weight in the story.

Although there is a dedicated route and a dedicated ending, it should be said that the number of events is significantly less than that of the main heroines.

In the first place, it wasn’t even a character whose rice cakes were all solved in the main story.

Even for me, who achieved 100% achievements in The Unknown Saga, this girl is still shrouded in a veil.

“……Maybe the rumors are true.”

“Rumors?”

“No, nothing.”

I hurriedly denied the self-involved words.

Erra looked at me slightly as if wondering, but she turned her head back to her mirror, as if her interest had quickly faded.

She feels relieved that she didn’t interrogate.

She’s peeping at the face next to him, so she has something on her mind.

That was a rumor that was spread among Unknown Saga users.

The story is that maybe she might be the main character of the ‘4th grade DLC story’.
