25 – Saint Elaine (3)

Whether it should be said that it is the best academy in the capital, the internal facilities as well as the student dormitory were very well equipped.

Although the setting was built hundreds of years ago, the inside of the academy grounds were as clean and stylish as if they had just been built.

“… It seems to be better than most aristocratic mansions, but here.”

Aside from the neat finishes and sophisticated interiors, the inside of the dorm was so wonderful.

Not only was a single room per student guaranteed, but even that single room reminded me of a 5-star hotel in my previous life.

In the dormitory lobby, which is the size of a department store, there was always a receptionist waiting, and if you wanted something, you just had to press the bell to call.

It seemed like I could bring an extra servant, but I couldn’t afford that right now, so I decided to bring Risha if I had a chance later.

I was assigned a room on the upper floor.

It’s precarious, but it seems that the count gave the royal class to the count.

Because the location of the academy site itself was so good, even on the lower floors, the scenery was not obtrusive.

The room was made up of a two-tone combination of black and white, which was gorgeous but not excessive, and each room had a different shape.

It seems to have been prepared for black, the symbol color of the dull Altein… Honestly, it was much better than our mansion.

Unlike the mansion with all-black wallpaper and only photos of Reina, various famous paintings and high-end furniture on the walls add luxury to the room, giving it a comfortable feel even though it is a dull color.

I threw myself on the thick mattress and enjoyed its softness.

‘I think it’s good that I came here.’

In the luxury that I have never felt in my previous life.

Could this be the life in the other world you’ve been dreaming of?

“… There are still many things to go through.”

It didn’t take long to enjoy this leisurely peace.

Now that we have entered the starting point of the game, there will be major events that will affect the story in the future.

I took out a black notebook from the inside pocket of my jacket and opened it.

After I came here, it was a notebook in which I wrote down the rough story and events of the game.

Among the letters written on each page, I checked the ones written at the top of the first page.

April, Midterm, Mine Raid

It is the event where the chain of the game called Hero Saga begins to roll in earnest, and the first event in which the demons driven to the East Continent slowly begin to appear.

It was a time when demons, called high-ranking demons among demons, and demons in human form, unlike ordinary demons with bizarre appearances, appeared in this world.

‘The name must be, Mephi… I think it was something.’

The image of a guy in a ridiculous clown costume with a face painted white and makeup dripping red blood, with a tear-stained smile was still deeply embedded in my brain.

Maybe that’s all. Despite being a man, the body tights and high-pitched voice made me feel uncomfortable throughout the game.

Now it’s to the point where you actually have to see it.

‘From the start of the game, the difficulty was filthy high.’

Not befitting the first boss that gave the main character a moderate ordeal, he had considerable strength.

It felt like a mob that was supposed to appear in the mid-to-late half came out of nowhere. Unbelievable for an early boss, the multi-level phases and extreme difficulty made him a talker in the community.

The problem is not only that.

He even showed the appearance of a demon without blood and tears, even killing dozens of students at the gymnasium where the midterm evaluation was being held.

It appears in an instant, ‘cuts off’ the students at once, plays with the main character, and then disappears before the follow-up instructors arrive.

This guy is the first boss.

From this alone, you can see how overwhelming the existence of Mine is.

And this is a fact that only I know.

Even if the demons appear now, it is certain that they will be treated as lunatics, asking how the demons they drove out hundreds of years ago can come to the Central Continent.

The hundreds of years that demons disappeared from the continent is enough time for humans, whose lifespan is less than a hundred years, to forget.

I closed the notebook.

‘In the end, I’m looking for a way to minimize the damage… .’

To be honest, it doesn’t come to mind at all.

If there is anything comforting, is it that there is a main character and that I am in the body of Altyn, who will originally go to the side of the demons?

“… I don’t know.”

He sighed for the ground to disappear.

There is a grace period of about 3 weeks left, so I hope there is some progress in the meantime.

A clock that only comes in on this screen, or an attitude that doesn’t open. Whatever.

“Thank you!”

I was watching Elaine bowing 90 degrees in front of me.

It must have been an action to show appreciation for the previous incident. Because humanity can be seen as one of the virtues of a saintess.

all good this

But why.

“Why do you come all the way to the classroom to do this?”

After the entrance ceremony, today’s academy curriculum began.

Naturally, I entered my class, A class, and was preparing for the class.

Elaine, who was supposed to be in Class F, came and bowed in front of me.

Naturally, everyone in the classroom looked at me.

Among them, there are those who started talking behind their backs, frowning.

It feels like Raina doesn’t even make eye contact these days.

‘I’m curious too.’

It’s nice to show thanks, but why the hell are you doing this in the middle of the classroom?

Maybe you’re trying to seduce me?

I said as quietly as I could while looking at the top of Elaine’s head, who was still lowering her head.

“… OK, now go back. please.”

“Yes? That, but still… .”

“no. I’ve seen enough of your sincerity. Classes will start soon, so it would be good to go back to class.”

“… yes.”

Elaine with a dissatisfied expression.

The gaze of those around them is very stinging.

I need to get it back soon-

“Are you even laying your hands on a woman from a lower class? Altein.”

A brown-haired man approached me with a mean smile.

why didn’t you come

“Stop worrying and take a seat. Hans.”

“I can’t do that. I witnessed your ugly deed.”

“Oh, no, this is—”

“stop. I’ll take care of this one, so go back. Nothing good to do with this guy.”

“Not that… .”

“Don’t you know who this guy is?”

Hans, who started giving a lot of shit because he couldn’t intervene on his own, started to gossip about me.

“A family that fell in disgrace due to human trafficking, and a despicable beast who buys illegal slaves to fulfill his desires. To be honest, he’s from a family that wouldn’t be strange if he was deprived of his title at any time. Doing that even in the sacred academy.”

As if the after-effects of being disgraced by Reina still remain, the behavior he still acts like a child.

While talking about aristocrats like that, he treats Elaine, a commoner, carelessly.

Like Raina and this guy, why are you not listening to people like this?

Perhaps the reason Altane quit the academy was because he was fed up with these guys.

‘It’s done, so go back.’

I quietly winked at Elaine, who stood at a loss for words behind Hans.

Elaine shook her head and refused, but Elaine left the classroom while looking back several times amidst the staring eyes that seemed completely ignorant.

‘It’s starting from the first day.’

One day, no sooner or later, wouldn’t rumors that he was a scum who touched commoners with the title of a nobleman be added?

I ignoring Hans who was chattering in front of me and fell face down on my desk.

There was still time before class started, so it was to get some sleep.

This is also very helpful in distracting attention.

For me, who had mastered the Assassin life over many years in my previous life, this was a piece of cake.

No matter what other guys say, no one will touch you as long as you lie down like this.

Hans, who had been talking for a while, also went back to his seat when I didn’t respond.

As time passed again, the quiet classroom began to become cluttered.

This implied that everyone’s eyes had turned away from me.

I stayed there for a while with my eyes closed.

*

After the morning class, I grabbed Elaine who had returned and headed to the garden.

“sorry. because of me… .”

After Elaine, who had been apologizing with tears in her eyes, sat down on the bench, I sat down next to her.

I didn’t mean to bruise her for apologizing with her hands on her lap.

At least the would-be saint wouldn’t have come with a bad heart.

“I didn’t mean to say anything. It just wasn’t the right time.”

“… Yes.”

I kind of scratched my head. Looking at Elaine staring at me with wide eyes, I couldn’t think of anything to say.

Risha was 16 and Elaine was 17.

Since she entered the academy at a young age and went through something like that, the person who should be comforted should be Elaine herself.

The way she thanked me or apologized showed that she had the qualities of a saint.

‘This kind of girl is the next saint.’

He looks younger than he did in the game.

Elaine, who can be seen as Risha’s same age, is a girl who has just entered high school in Korean age.

This is the age when you are just starting to grow physically and mentally.

“Anything to say… Do you have it?”

Elaine looked up at me while moving her thighs.

I lifted her slender wrist.
