52 – Exploration

“…So, is everything okay?”

“Yes.”

-Hmm…

After the martial arts competition, another week had passed.

It took longer than expected to talk to Veronica one-on-one, but…

Fortunately, when the martial arts competition was settled,

It was only then that I was able to meet Veronica, who had time, in the magic engineering preparation room.

“…Could you take it out again?”

“Wait a minute.”

-Suck.

“…Not yet.”

The pattern isn’t even half full yet.

The reason I found Veronica right after the match.

It was because of the newly updated quest in the status window.

————————————————————————- ————

Quest (1) ▽

While the holy sword was sealed.

Activates tissue within the owner’s body.

Efficiency is improved when performing actions related to the body. (Currently 41%)

It is now possible to summon the Holy Sword.

When summoning the holy sword,

The physical ability is greatly increased!

Currently charged mana: 47%.

————————————————————————- —————–

< ??? > Rescue (0/1)

————————————————————————- —————-

Quest reward => < ? >

The quest window is clearly different from last time.

In the description window, along with a notification that the summoning of the holy sword has become possible,

I also learned the remaining amount of mana required for specific summoning.

As a result of the experiment, if you pour average mana per day without anything special,

A feeling of being filled up by 6~7%?

‘By the way…’

The problem was this.

Rescue of

??>,

Compensation too >

‘No, it’s not a mystery.’

What if I don’t tell you the details of the quest and I don’t even tell you the reward?

I tried to find a clue about the Holy Sword in the school library, but.

In history books, there is only a story that a warrior with a holy sword saved the human race.

I couldn’t find any books containing information about the holy sword.

“… I want to know more about the holy sword.”

“Do you know anything else?”

At my words, Veronica clenched her chin,

She thought for a moment, twirling her burgundy hair with her fingers.

“Ah! Maybe…”

She opened her mouth as if she remembered something.

“Oh. Did you remember something?”

From noble mtl dot com

“That… That might sound a bit odd.”

“You can speak comfortably.”

“…Didn’t you hear hallucinations somewhere?”

Hearing hallucinations?

“Um… There was no such thing.”

“… I see.”

“But why are you suddenly talking about that…”

“… I thought she was just still sleeping.”

Whoa.

Veronica let out a small sigh before opening her mouth.

“It looks like something happened to the fairy inside the holy sword.”

“… A fairy?”

Come to think of it, there was definitely a description that a light fairy resided in the holy sword.

‘A fairy…’

So the true identity of the one to be rescued is the fairy of light?

“… Thank you, I think I’ve solved my curiosity to some extent.”

“Okay, I’ll try to find out about that kid, too.

More than that…”

Sug-

Veronica’s hand lightly stroked her right wrist, which was emitting a soft light.

“…Isn’t that really cool?”

“It’s okay… You don’t have to worry.”

“You don’t have to hide it from me… Tell me anytime.”

“…Yes.”

In fact, after accepting the holy sword,

I have a feeling that the helplessness that comes at night has gotten a little worse.

There was also an increase in physical ability.

Now I can handle mana to some extent, just like other vampires resist light,

I thought it would be possible to resist the darkness to some extent…

Still, though, it’s not so much of a concern.

“Then I’ll let you know if anything else goes wrong. Thank you.”

“Yes, I could have listened more slowly if I had more free time… I’m sorry.”

“No, thank you for your hard work then.”

Tak.

I closed the door of the magic engineering preparation room and came out into the corridor of the annex.

‘…A fairy.’

Fortunately, experts about fairies know.

Since we decided to have dinner together tonight, I should ask.

**

“Huh? What?”

“… Just be quiet.”

Eating dinner,

Leaving behind Yoon Mirae, Morhan, and Bell.

She opened her mouth while sneakily showing the pattern on her wrist to Elena.

As for the holy sword, I already wrote it brilliantly in martial arts competitions.

It was an atmosphere of understanding to some extent when they said that it was an artifact that was in the storage room in the house.

“Yeah, do you feel anything for me?”

“Do you feel…?”

At my words, Elena frowned and thought for a while.

“… Loneliness?”

“What do you mean?”

He’s talking nonsense again.

“…Can you feel anything from the pattern on your wrist?”

“Ah..! That… Sorry!”

-Wrist…Wrist…!

Only then did Elena begin to stare intently at the pattern on her wrist as she rolled up her sleeve.

“… Pretty.”

“… Anything else?”

“Um… Ah! Something… Sounds familiar…? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before…”

“Huh? Where did you see that?”

“That must be…”

Suddenly.

“What are you talking about?”

“…A surprise.”

When I looked up at her,

At some point, Mirae Yoon was standing in front of me.

“… Well, go first and have a chat with the kids.”

“What are you talking about, and… Gossip?”

Mirae Yoon pointed her finger at Mor Han and her bell and opened her mouth.

“…With me?”

Ah.

The mute Morhan,

And Bell lacks communication skills.

‘This is definitely an impossible combination to talk to.’

“…Sorry.”

“You don’t know, but without Elena, the conversation can’t go on. More than that…”

“Huh?”

“You know what I said the other day, that gloomy senior.”

Ah.

The senior who fought with Kaela during the martial arts competition.

She sure said that if she knew anything about the senior, she would tell me…

“…It was the same club as that senior, Shin Jong-gil.”

“Shinjonggil?”

It’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

As it was, after the ranking test,

I thought that the guy who had been messing around in various training sessions was somehow quiet…

“…Do you still keep in touch with Shin Jong-gil?”

“Because families are connected… I do it occasionally, as it is mandatory,

Something… I think people have changed a bit.”

“How?”

“Should I say I’ve become somewhat humble…? I’m not flirting like I used to.”

“…Really?”

With a senior who is presumed to be intertwined with Dimension.

Shin Jong-gil has a different personality from the original work.

… Something smells.

“What’s the club name?”

“… I heard you’re not interested in clubs?”

“Not because of the club, but because of that senior…”

“…Are you interested in that senior?”

“No… Some!”

Yoon Mi-rae withdrew her sinister eyes and smiled.

“I’m kidding.”

“… It’s not like you’re joking when you say it.”

Don’t you ask what kind of relationship you have with Seong Jin-ha the other day…

I’m sure he wasn’t like this character in the original work.

“Ah. But really, that club is a bit suspicious.”

“… What’s suspicious?”

“…The senior who is the head of the club there.”

“A senior?”

“It looks incredibly suspicious.”

“Hey…”

No matter how you say it, what do you mean by what it looks like…

“No really! It’s because it looks very suspicious?”

“… You’re rude to seniors, so what’s the name of the club?”

“Club name? Sure…”

**

The next day after school.

Smart.

“…You don’t have to follow me.”

Leaving behind Elena’s answer that she couldn’t remember exactly about the holy sword,

First of all, I visited the club room with Yoon Mi-rae to check if the incident related to ‘Dimension’ was actually happening.

“Well, let’s say I’m going to visit the club once… I told Shin Jong-gil that I’m going to play once.”

It seems like you’re just trying to solve the troublesome things all at once.

The hallway of the two-story building in the annex.

… Clubs exist in the academy as well.

As well as clubs related to martial arts such as swordsmanship and archery.

There are also clubs close to hobbies, such as reading clubs and travel clubs.

I didn’t look into it because I thought I wouldn’t have enough time to do club activities, but…

-Yes~

The name of the club written on the door.

-Gate’s analysis and statistics club.

It’s a club name that looks really dirty and uninteresting.

It is a miracle that Shin Jong-gil even joined such a club.

Knocked up.

The club room door opened and a man walked out.

“Hmm? A freshman…? Are you aspiring to join?”

“No… First, a brief tour…”

First of all, the moment you try to answer with a pretentious smile to make a good first impression.

The appearance of the senior in front of me caught my eye.

A fairly rare purple hair with a moderate physique.

A kind-looking senior with a friendly smile.

But…

‘…I can see why it looks suspicious.’

The senior president of the ‘Gate Analysis and Statistics Club’,

Has eyes so small that the pupils cannot be seen.

It was a so-called narrow-eyed cat.

**

“Ah, Jong-gil was your friend~ You can sit comfortably and wait.”

Fortunately, due to Yoon Mi-rae’s secondary fire, who was standing next to me in a daze,

I succeeded in entering the club room naturally without being suspected.

Dalgrak.

“Coffee or iced tea?”

“…Coffee please.”

“Me too.”

-Um hum heung heung~

Looking at the back of the senior who is stirring her coffee while humming her hum.

“…What did I say, what if you actually harden?”

“No… That.”

I honestly have nothing to say.

I told you not to judge people by what they have,

Because I thought it was extremely suspicious with the person in front of me.

Tak.

“Here, here.”

“Ah… Thank you.”

… Something is burnt in the coffee, right?

“What’s wrong? Go ahead and have a drink.”

“… Don’t you eat seniors?”

“I don’t really like sweets.”

The narrow-eyed senior was waiting for us to drink her coffee.

I quickly sent a signal to Yoon Mirae with my eyes.

‘…You should drink it first.’

‘You really…!’

‘You don’t have combat skills, so if something happens, I’ll have to deal with it.’

“…Why? Don’t you like the coffee?”

Awkward.

“Ah… No, I’ll have a good drink.”

Mi-rae Yoon took her cup and glared at me for a while.

Huruk.

I carefully took a sip of my coffee.

“This. This!”

“Ha ha ha! How does it taste..?”

“…!”

Bulkkeok.

I couldn’t believe it, but this person too…!

“… Delicious!”

“Yeah, I don’t really like sweet things, but Jong-gil likes it when you burn it like this. The secret is half a spoonful of brown sugar!”

“…”

“…Why did you wake up all of a sudden?”

“Wait… I’ll go to the bathroom.”

Jumping.

Buck and go.

… What are you doing?

What is suspicious is the senior or Shin Jong-gil who appeared in the martial arts tournament,

It is not the club itself.

I go to the bathroom naturally,

Shin Jong-gil and a gloomy senior who arrived in the club room at some point were sitting in their seats.

“…You.”

The two look slightly surprised when they see me.

… Now I’m going to start investigating in earnest.
