Chapter 160 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is the Hero, the Half Is XXX
Most students may have toured the academy grounds to some extent, but there are also students who came to the academy just in time for the entrance ceremony.
To be considerate of such students, they were given two hours from the entrance ceremony in the auditorium until they arrived at their assigned classes so that they could take a brief tour of the inside of the academy.
‘And at this time, the first incident of the original part 2 occurs.’
Eugene, who knew this very well, was said to have been waiting for the Academy entrance ceremony, which would soon be over, and his eyes were shining so coolly that no one could notice.
+++
I must emphasize again that Orbital World, the original work featuring the world possessed by Eugene and the Orbital Continent, was an academic film.
Part 1 is for 1st graders, Part 2 is for 2nd graders, and Part 3 is for 3rd graders. It is an academic drama comprised of 4 parts, in which students go on a journey to subdue the Demon King’s army after graduation, which can only be completed by taking the true ending route.
Therefore, basically, accidents only occur within Orbital Academy, and even if accidents do not occur within Orbital Academy, incidents are likely to occur largely related to Orbital Academy events.
In that sense, the entrance ceremony for juniors in their second year of study was a good time for an event to announce the beginning of Part 2.
Even though it was an entrance ceremony, it wasn’t the main character’s entrance ceremony. In the end, it is an entrance ceremony where first-year juniors enter the school.
That’s why they were attacked on the day of the entrance ceremony, which often appears in academy dramas! The cliche itself was difficult to use.
It was a cliché that, in order to be used, it had to be used at least on the day of the entrance ceremony when the main character of the first part enters school.
Well, because Orbital Academy’s defenses were at an enormous level, the original Orbital World could not use the cliché of the Demon King’s army or Crescent attacking the entrance ceremony.
In reality, it would have been difficult for the two organizations to attack the Orbital Academy in the center of the system unless it was a truly large-scale attack.
However, if you set up such a large-scale raid to fulfill the cliche of an entrance ceremony raid, the enemy’s power would be so enormous that a player who had just started the game would have no choice but to die without doing anything.
Therefore, unfortunately, in the original Orbital World, the first part, the first-year entrance ceremony, goes smoothly.
Instead, there was an event where users who were accustomed to the daily life part and the romance part had to enter the academy’s underground dungeon in order to experience the RPG part tutorial.
However, this part has nothing to do with Eugene at the moment, so let’s skip it.
The important thing is that the cliché about the academy being attacked was not used in the first part entrance ceremony, and it would be difficult to use that in the second part.
In other words, originally, no significant incident would have occurred at the academy today when Eugene entered the combat department as a first year student.
In fact, in the second half of Part 1, where the main heroine to be targeted is decided, and the beginning of Part 2, where the proper dating part begins after the second semester, most of the routes were passed easily.
At least, there are a few events taking place along the main heroine route where the protagonist gets to know the newly added sub-heroines.
… However, depending on which main heroine’s route it is, nothing really happens at the entrance ceremony.
Even later, when trying to target a sub-heroine rather than the main heroine, an incident occurred today, the entrance ceremony, depending on the sub-heroine being targeted.
‘But before he died, the main character went down the harem route.’
In other words, depending on the route, some kind of event may occur other than the cliché that the Demon King’s Army and Crescent attacked on the day of the entrance ceremony, and the route that the main character is currently on is the harem route. In other words…
‘The main story of all heroines progresses comprehensively.’
… That’s what it meant. What does it mean?
Originally, the day of the second part entrance ceremony passed without any problems if you entered the princess route, magician route, or half-dragon route, but in the case of the hero route, an incident of some kind occurred.
And the harem route is a route where, in addition to the hero route, events that occur if you try to take the assassin route or the idol route also occur as a bonus. In other words…
‘Even if the main character gets a dead ending, as long as he was on the harem route before then, a complex event that combines all the routes will occur, so just today, the entrance ceremony, at least two events will occur.’
Eugene, who was well aware of the fact, naturally consulted with Yeonhwa and came up with a plan for the event.
‘An event that occurs when you enter the Hero route for the first time. An incident that signals the beginning of a full-fledged check on the Demon King’s army.’
The hero route is the route you enter when you choose Genos, who was chosen as a hero, as your lover. Since the lover is a hero, it is a route where you are determined to oppose the hero’s main enemy, the Demon King’s Army.
If I were to go this route, would I barely encounter another main enemy, Crescent, and would I mainly deal with guys like corps commanders and the Four Heavenly Kings?
And since the harem route also includes the hero route, it is certain that the devil’s army’s plot to play tricks on the academy begins in earnest from today, which marks the start of the second year.
‘… As many as two corps commanders hide inside the academy’s underground dungeon.’
He was a corps commander. Corps commander. Also called the Ten Demons, the final strength of the Master-level Demon King’s army consists of only 10 people who lead the Demon King’s army.
An event in which as many as two of the 10 maximum strength members, who can be said to be on the same level as the Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon King’s personal guard, are mobilized.
‘To be precise, it was a grand harem route that originally only mobilized one person, so two people were mobilized.’
If you originally took the hero route, one corps commander will appear as the first-year main villain and another corps commander will appear as the second-year main villain.
However, in order to go the harem route, as a result of adjusting the likeability of the main heroines and not deciding on a relationship with one person, even the main villain, who should have appeared in the first year, ended up appearing in the second year.
‘Today’s entrance ceremony announces the appearance of those two corps commanders.’
To be exact, the two corps commanders didn’t attack the academy today, the day of the entrance ceremony.
However, when playing the original game, the player is only presented with a cut scene that hints that two army commanders are hiding inside the dungeon and plotting something.
And it plays a role in making the player who sees the cutscene naturally attack the academy’s underground dungeon after the entrance ceremony.
‘If you ignore that cut scene and think it’s a big deal, you’ll be in big trouble.’
The talented students who entered the academy, as well as the main heroines and sub-heroines whose talents are so overflowing that they shine like starlight.
Two corps commanders infiltrated the dungeon to determine their growth rate and, if possible, check and kill them.
As they are such corps commanders, if they do not understand and stop their moves in advance, the only thing that awaits them is a dead ending where the main characters and heroines are wiped out.
‘Dungeon Break.’
Normally, the Academy periodically sweeps away the Enemy from the lower floors for maintenance purposes.
Therefore, the underground dungeon of the Academy does not have dungeon breaks in most cases.
The two corps commanders who hid in the academy dungeon soon forcibly increased the number of enemies, causing a dungeon break.
As it was, an attack was launched from the center of the academy towards the academy with a huge number of enemies.
‘If that happens, it’s over.’
Even if this operation was successful, it was an operation that could not only destroy the academy but also inflict a serious blow to the empire.
Even though it is thrown as a check, if you hit it directly, you will be struck out.
Therefore, the player who ignored this and received a game over naturally had no choice but to enter the dungeon to stop the two commanders’ plans.
‘Even if you are a person who only enjoys the romance part and wants to get past the RPG part with only choices, you have to enter the dungeon itself first.’
Even if everything is left to the power of the main heroines, the dungeon exploration itself must proceed.
And as a result of continuing to explore the dungeon, the protagonist and his party discovered the location where the two corps commanders were carrying out their tricks. They reported the fact to the Academy and immediately formed a punitive team.
‘Because there are two corps commanders, it is a subjugation in which all the swordsmen and ghosts that the empire can mobilize are mobilized.’
As a bonus, the main character group that will fight against the Demon King’s army in the future, that is, the Hero Party, can also participate in the battle for actual combat experience against the Demon King’s Army.
‘The time limit was two weeks, right?’
The time limit for starting the subjugation war is 2 weeks in-game time. In other words, if you do not discover the corps commanders’ masterpiece within that time, the dungeon break will occur and the game will be over.
‘But now that I think about it, the main character is behind, right? The warrior became my slave. Among the remaining main heroines, the Crown Princess would have become a nuisance in the corner by now…’
The other two main heroines also probably have no intention of returning to the academy yet. When Eugene realized that fact, he was able to realize that the current world line was a world line that had already reached a dead ending.
‘… If I didn’t step forward on behalf of the protagonist, the academy would collapse and the empire would suffer a major blow and collapse?’
They were relieved that they had somehow prevented the relations between each country from being completely ruined due to the machinations of hostile forces by stealing the warriors who would be put up for slave auction.
However, as soon as he entered the academy, an event was taking place that would have caused humanity to collapse if he did not intervene.
Even when I thought about the fact that this event was just a passing event in the original, I could only sigh.
‘Even if it is a subjugation team, the corps commander cannot actually subdue it.’
Even if nobles and swordsmen participated in the war, in terms of status, even the corps commanders were not inferior.
As I said there, from the point of view of the Demon King’s army, this incident itself was nothing more than a check and it didn’t really matter if it hit or not.
… In other words, if the plot they were carrying out was discovered by the subjugation team, the two corps commanders would be blown away.
‘In a way, it is an event that feels like a brief encounter with the main villain that the protagonist and his group must deal with during their second year of school.’
In short, these are the final bosses of Part 2 for players! Do you feel like it appears to tell you that?
‘The problem is that in the harem route, the main villains of all routes appear in addition to those guys…’
Therefore, it was better to get rid of the final bosses of each route as quickly as possible as soon as they appeared.
‘Even if I were to get rid of it, I wouldn’t be able to get rid of it until at least the next event where the corps commanders appear…’
In any case, an event that will lead to the destruction of the world if not prevented will begin today at the entrance ceremony.
If this had been the original work, a cut scene would have appeared in front of Eugene by now showing the two corps commanders conversing and plotting inside the dungeon.
However, the main character who has to stop it ends up being stabbed by a woman. In the end, it was Eugene who had to suffer to survive.
‘… No, to be exact, it’s a connection.’
Although Eugene felt like sighing at that fact, he soon decided to think of this as an opportunity.
If you think about it differently, wouldn’t it be an event where two corps commanders openly appear in the middle of enemy lines?
Of course, the subjugation itself was difficult because it was essential to mobilize Ozone to deal with these two corps commanders.
There was no way the corps commanders did not know the moment the ozone moved.
No, no matter how secretly they moved, if Ozone was their opponent, there was a way for the corps commanders to escape.
