Chapter 18.1

EP – 018.1 – Class

I feel like dying.

Not figuratively, but literally.

“-The sword is the most basic weapon, suitable and flexible for any situation-”

The professor’s words entered through one of my ears while immediately exiting to the other.

In the first place, it’s just the basic stuff. There’s really no need to listen to it.

“Professor, I have a question.”

And the fact that it’s the most basic also goes hand in hand on why on earth is this person is taking this class.

The blood drained from the professor’s face when the expressionless Elnore, who was to my left, raised her hand.

“Of course, what is your concern, Princess Tristan?”

“Don’t you think the theory is too lengthy? All of that knowledge doesn’t work much in real combat.”

“I apologize. I will correct it.”

The professor stiffly laughed and said that.

It was a very bizarre sight, where the student casually commenting on the class with the professor agreeing, but no one refuted it.

If it’s Princess Tristan, no one would dare to point that out.

Nobody.

Except for one.

“Uh, I was listening?”

Elijah to my right retorted with a smile.

She didn’t look intimidated by Elnore’s cool gaze at all.

“...Don’t tell me you think that this kind of tabletop conversation is helpful in actual combat?”

“Classes are at the discretion of the professor. You are not ‘forced’ to attend.”

Elnore closed her mouth in displeasure.

Unlike Elijah, who is a freshman like me, Elnore knew that she didn’t need to be here.

From what I heard from Atallante, Elnore ‘wanted’ to join the class. “Put me with him,” she said.

“But even if it’s a basic class, it should be more practical than this-“

“Now that’s just biased to one opinion-”

The war of words intensifies.

The professor who should be leading the class was left unable to say anything; not against the next hero candidate and the Duke’s daughter.

“Then what do you think?”

“Yeah. What do you think, professor?”

And thus, this is why I feel like dying.

They went back and forth between each, before eventually throwing the bomb at me.

“...I think it’s better to continue the class for now.”

The professor looked so pitiful shivering and turning blue in front. So I went with this for now.

With this, Elnore’s brows slightly furrowed while bright smile blossomed on Elijah’s face. The professor also let out a relieved smile.

“Alright, one more win.”

There are many reasons why Elnore reigned as the final boss, but the combination of these two skills accounted for a large portion of her close range combat power.

Apart from boasting monstrous aggression, her body was as durable and tenacious as a weed. So even if you managed to land a hit, you’re nowhere near of knocking her down.

In terms of body-related techniques, it can be regarded as a combination with the highest efficiency.

And then...

[ Received Gift Reward from ‘Elijah’. ]

[ Obtained 2,000 points! ]

[ Current Points: 2,000pts]

Instead of something special, Elijah just gave me points. Still, as the main character, the points were quite generous.

However, I wish there was something more...

< System Message >

[ You have exerted more than a certain amount of influence on a character with a good alignment! ]

[ Second gift awakened! ]

[ ‘Skill: Evil Ruler’ has been obtained! ]

“...”

I really awakened another gift!

<Special Gift>

Gift #1- Fated Love

[ Obtain rewards as you gain favorability of characters with an evil alignment. ]

Gift #2 – He Who Touches Pitch Shall Be Defiled Therewith

[ Obtain rewards as you gain favorability of characters with a good alignment. ]

[ However, this is given at a much smaller level than those with evil alignment. ]

[ Instead, if you taint a character with a good alignment with negative tendencies beyond a certain level, you will receive a great reward! ]

< Skill Info >

[ Skill: Evil Ruler ] [ Grade: E ]

[ Bewitch characters of the good alignment that you have sufficiently influenced. ]

[ Character under Evil Ruler must do one thing you asked for. ]

[ Characters Under Rule: None ]

I read the text in front of me.

‘...Hmm.’

Then I read it again

No. I don’t quite understand.

To sum it up.

Does that mean that if I make a good guy bad, I get a reward?

That’s...

“...”

Is that right?
