Finally, the academy welcomed the opening of school.

School started the week after the tournament, and thanks to that, the schedule felt like hectic.

In particular, when I finally thought that I had entered the same time zone as the start time of the game, I felt a heavy burden on my shoulders.

‘It has no choice but to become heavy.’

What guides the scenario is the playable.

no.

To be precise, it was me playing that playable.

To be honest, I want to solve the scenario after the characters grow on their own, but in the end, it was impossible to solve without my will as a player.

They won’t have milestones like the quests in the game.

‘In the end, I who know the information is the main character.’

It was a story that I, who entered the game, had to lead the scenario with the 13th playable character, Adrias Cromwell.

In the end, I clearly remembered that my will is the key to progressing the scenario.

‘Unlike games, there are a lot of variables and I can’t even load a save, but I try everything I can.’

I looked at the subjects I signed up for.

“Then first.”

Aside from the minor episodes at the beginning of the semester, the first chapter scenario was a problem.

Kyler Schutzman.

Like Charon, he is a black magician and professor who has hidden his identity, and is the boss of the first chapter.

After the scenario he creates, clues flow from his office that there are other warlocks at the academy.

‘Because of that, the atmosphere inside the academy flows strangely.’

After all, this was the starting point, and it was safe to say that I was going to die.

If it wasn’t for that clue, there would have been no reason for the cool-headed Charon to be in a hurry, and there would have been no reason for Adrias’ identity to be discovered while carrying out his unreasonable errands.

‘If I solve this, the cause of my death will disappear a little.’

In order to sew the first button well, I had to solve Kyler first.

To listen to the lecture, I came out of the dormitory and went to the lecture building, and the stinging eyes were stuck.

It felt worse than when I first made the Everlast Potion in the past, but the atmosphere was different from back then.

It should be a bit fearful but also envy.

Anyway, I tried to ignore it and moved on to the first lecture of the new semester.

The lecture I applied for this time was aimed at the professor in charge rather than the subject itself.

‘Convergence and manufacturing of potion Kyler Schutzman.’

I already knew most of his information, but to catch a tiger, I had to go directly into the tiger’s den.

Maybe Kyler knows who I am because of what happened at the rally.

But I didn’t care at all.

In the first place, I am a body that is said to be the divinity of the potion world.

It wouldn’t be unusual for me to take classes related to potions.

“Student Adrias! Student Adrias Cromwell!”

As I was walking, I saw someone calling from afar.

He seemed to be a faculty member, not a student, but for now, he stopped and waited for him.

“oh my. short of breath Are you Adrias student?”

“yes. That’s right.”

The man who called me was Morgan, one of the staff at the academy.

As far as I know, he is one of the staff who works directly under the principal, but I don’t know what business he has with me.

“Do you have time?”

“I was on my way to a lecture right now.”

“ah. I haven’t been able to check it yet. If so, will you have time after the lecture is over?”

“yes. It doesn’t matter, but what’s going on?”

“Principal Deos wants to meet with you.”

interview?

A meeting with Deos.

“why?”

“... ... no.”

I didn’t even bother to say anything, so I decided to leave it alone.

Rather, it felt like returning to a peaceful daily life, so it wasn’t too bad.

Then Lucia stabbed me and said.

“sick?”

“no.”

“It’s not all better, is it?”

“yes. I’ll probably take the bandage off when it’s all healed.”

But thanks to the regeneration and recovery potions, I got better so quickly.

If it was another person, he would probably still be in the hospital.

“But senior.”

“why.”

“How did you get hurt like this?”

At Lucia’s question, I shyly turned my head.

I thought of an excuse in advance, but it’s a little like saying it.

“I got hurt a little while training to prepare for the finals.”

“Aren’t you working too hard? If you practice one more time, you will become a corpse.”

okay. I think so too.

That was what I thought after winning Hosan, but how can you think the same thing as me?

Fortunately, Lucia didn’t seem to be puzzled, so she roughly nodded.

“You have to be careful in the future.”

“Aren’t you sorry?”

Lucia asked with a slightly subdued expression.

I was a little surprised and thankful that she seemed to miss me more than I did.

I don’t think he was a character with this kind of personality, but he became very close with me before he knew it.

“If it had been a real battle, I would have died. You should be grateful that it was a tournament.”

“Isn’t that too drastic? Anyway, if it wasn’t for that injury, it would have been the same as if you had won the championship.”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sorry, but there’s no such thing as an if, so I guess I should.”

When I said that I couldn’t help it, Lucia opened her sleepy eyes even more and looked at me as if she was upset that I didn’t agree with her.

what if you look at it that way what to do

“Senior than that. You can wield a sword like that, can you make me a potion?”

“I also signed up for herbalism this time.”

“eww. It seems like a waste of talent.”

... ... what do you mean?

While I was listening to Lucia, who is more talented than anyone else but lazy, an assistant professor came into the classroom and started setting things up.

‘That guy is also a black magician. Alexander Tiburn.’

He was a senior student until last year, but it seems that he joined Kyler as an assistant professor this year.

The game scenario was like that in the first place.

That guy was also the enemy he would later fight when clearing Kyler.

‘I’ll watch it for now.’

Timing is what matters.

You can’t prevent what Kyler will do in advance.

No, I couldn’t exactly block it.

There were two reasons, but one is that it is not an incident that can be prevented even if you try to prevent it.

Another was that in order to dispose of Kyler, an incident had to occur because he needed clear evidence that he was a warlock.

It’s an event that can’t be prevented anyway, and when it happens, Kyler is discovered to be a black magician.

‘There is some time between an incident and Kyler being named the culprit. I will take care of it first by using that gap.’

Only then could I secure or eliminate the clue that another black magician existed inside the academy.

jump.

Kyler finally entered the classroom.

Light chestnut hair and sad eyes.

He was a man with a bright impression unlike Karon, but his personality wasn’t too bad.

Rather, when I first played the game, I was surprised to learn that he was a warlock.

“Nice to meet you. Everyone. I am Kyler Schutzman, who will be in charge of the fusion and production of the potion.”

Kyler’s eyes turned to me as he greeted me with a smile.
