Chapter 352 – Mythology Academy
As if the members were used to it, they moved to the conference hall and began to take their seats at the large round table located there.
‘Oh… This is…’
Seong-il feels a new sense of emotion when he actually enters a place that he had only seen through illustrations.
“Seongil-kun. Would you like to sit over here?”
“Ah yes.”
The words of a female senior who seems to have supernatural powers. Seong-il settles down next to her without complaining about her consideration.
‘He looks normal.’
The appearance of a senior with superpowers that is not ugly, but difficult to see as pretty. Because her holy days turn her attention away from her, she begins to focus on her meetings.
“First of all! Our conduct department…”
A man who is in charge of students’ behavior stands up and explains the management of the clothing check that students must wear.
“…For this reason, I would like to focus on management mainly for freshmen who are not familiar with the school rules yet.”
‘I’m not even a middle school or high school student…’
Unexpectedly, Mythology Academy applies strict school rules to standards such as dress. They were forcing unified clothes and rules as one of the ways to relieve the feelings that wizards and psychics have for each other and to unite the two forces.
‘Well… It actually worked.’
It seemed like a ridiculous code of conduct, but surprisingly, the system worked. It gave me a sense of belonging, not ‘I’m a wizard or a person with psychic powers’, but ‘I’m a student at Mythology Academy’.
‘It’s just something I know roughly.’
Since she had seen almost all the endings of the game, Seong-il had already seen most of the events, and she knew everything through it, so Seong-il was not particularly inspired by the meeting of the leadership team.
“It’s on the agenda this week.”
‘Oh…!!’
In fact, the main event of the leadership team meeting. Even in the game, it used to affect the ending by solving the main agenda that occurred randomly.
‘Was it the karma system? Maybe?’
Branches and endings are divided according to how much the main character has a great influence in the game. Of course, the more positive the impact, the higher the possibility of seeing a good ending.
Naturally, he wanted to lead the world of Mythology in a good direction, so Seong-il focused on the main agenda and started listening to the contents.
“…From the first day of class, there were fights between new wizards and psychics. There were as many as three.”
“Huh? Three cases?”
Even Claudia looks surprised at the agenda brought by Albert of the executive department. Of course, because of her position, she obviously had a rough idea of the agenda, but she didn’t think it was going to happen in three cases.
“Yes, it is.”
“Hmm… What type were each of them?”
“That is…”
When Claudia asks for details about the type of incident, Albert puts on a slightly puzzled expression. When Claudia made a puzzled expression, he sighed lightly and began to explain.
“They are of the same type.”
“…Same? Could it be that the three incidents were, in fact, all related to one another? They were the same party…”
“Um… Yes or no.”
“?”
Albert’s expression confuses listeners. As everyone seems to be confused by his own words, he begins to explain the details of the incident on the magic bulletin board.
“Actually, technically, all three are separate incidents. But they all happened for the same reason.”
‘Oh…!! This!!!’
Seong-il comes to mind as soon as Albert gets off his luck. He has a hunch that one of the leading division main events has occurred.
“For what reason?”
“It’s simple. It’s a slander against the Mutual Training Act. In other words, it’s an incident caused by hate speech.”
“What? How dare you act like that at the academy?!”
‘Also!!’
After quietly listening to Albert and Claudia’s conversation, Seong-il listens to them and realizes that the problem that has just occurred is the ‘Seed of Conflict’ event, one of the leading team’s main events.
“Of course, the starting point is different… In everyday conversations, each of them lightly chatted about each other’s training methods and values, and it seems that they fought with fierce differences of opinion.”
“Haa… How are the two of you?”
“…First of all, it looks like everyone beat the wizard overwhelmingly.”
“!!!”
At those words, the atmosphere in the hall becomes warm. Some look restless. Some look sad. Some of them look like that too.
‘Stupid bastards. Let’s give it all to them. It’s a trick they used.’
And Seong-il, who knew everything about the situation, looks pathetic at their reaction.
‘On the first day of the semester on purpose, some of the watchers disguised as freshmen seized the target psychics and secretly quarreled with them on the same topic at the same time, right?’
‘The problem is that the supernatural powers, who were caught off guard by those who cleverly disguised their skills as ‘normal students’, lost without being able to properly resist their abilities other than what they thought.’
‘The watchers have only one purpose. Causing a riot based on the results of manipulation!!’
As Seongil thought, watchers felt superior to wizards based on false results. It was a situation where the supernatural powers were manipulated so that anger was planted.
‘…In fact, in the case of the first two playthroughs where the player had no information, most of them passed this event off as if it was nothing. Then I got a big nose injury in the second half.’
It may not seem like a big deal, but the ‘Seed of Conflict’ event had a surprisingly large ripple effect. That’s also true, because the observers were not aiming for conflict between ordinary students through this event, but because they were trying to sprout the seeds of implicit conflict within the leading members.
‘If the main character is ignorant and doesn’t take any action, the secret faction within the leadership team will come to the surface starting from this incident.’
‘…I’m not a transcendentalist, so it’s impossible to resolve it positively. I’ll have to use a rough method.’
Seong-il, who knows the context, vows to never let this event go the way the viewer intended.
“…First of all, since you’ve violated both taboos, this matter has left the leadership team’s hands, right?”
“Yes. Director. All three incidents violated an absolute taboo, so the matter has already been passed on to the faculty, and the wizards who inflicted serious injuries will be expelled en masse.”
“…What about the psychics?”
“I violated the taboo…But I didn’t use excessive violence against the wizards, so I think it will end in suspension.”
At those words, the hall became heavy once again. Especially the atmosphere on the wizard side. Most of them seemed to be dissatisfied with the fact that only one side was unilaterally expelled.
“Hmm… It’s embarrassing…”
“…?”
A single word spilled out of the silent hall. Everyone naturally turns their gaze to the place where the voice came from.
“Oh!! I’m sorry…”
As his eyes are focused on him, the female observer Seong-il had been eyeing a while ago appears ashamed, as if he had made a mistake.
“What’s embarrassing? Miss Yudi?”
“That… That… I’m sorry…”
‘That bitch’s name was Yudi.’
Yudy pretends to be timid and apologizes, refusing to answer Claudia’s words. Claudia soothes her and encourages her to speak up.
“It’s okay, so tell me.”
“Ugh… I thought it was a bit unreasonable…”
“…Absurdity?”
With an awkward smile and an impressive expression with narrow eyes, Yudi continued her words.
“I see… I did both wrongs, but isn’t it too unfair that one is expelled… And the other is suspended?”
“Hmm…”
Mutilated intestines. In fact, her words were not wrong at all, so everyone shuts their mouths and thinks. And Yudi, who must have gained courage after seeing that, speaks her thoughts one after another.
“Well… The wizard did something wrong… It’s because they ‘harassed’ opponents who were ‘weaker’ than themselves.”
Yudi subtly denigrates wizards as strong and psychics as weak. Her Seong-il makes an expression that seems to be the same as that.
“But… Isn’t it too biased to have someone expelled from school for hurting them because they’re so weak…?”
In fact, many wizards start nodding their heads as if it was the right thing to say. And Seong-il, who saw that scene, decides to put a candle to the plan of the watchers in earnest.
“Damn it.”
“…?!”
Yudi looks at her holy day with a hard expression as her swear words come out from the other side of her out of nowhere. Her Seong-il starts to refute her logic by looking at her in front of her like that.
“Let’s talk straight.”
“Yes? What did I do wrong…?”
Although she sounds like she’s scared or embarrassed, Yudi’s eyes look very keenly at her holy days.
‘Certainly the observer is right.’
And when Seong-il sees her eyes, she gains confidence in her identity.
“What did you do wrong? You really don’t know?”
“…I don’t know?”
“Be patient… I wonder if my head is bad.”
“What… What…!?”
Yudi hardens her expression at the continuous verbal abuse, and her anger looks at her holy day with her young voice. In fact, the other wizards were also in a bad mood, Seong-il received the aggressive gazes of the wizards at a glance.
‘Shall we start soon.’
However, regardless of their aggressive gaze, Seong-il begins to answer by cutting out the seeds of conflict that she is secretly sowing.
“It’s not that the psychic is ‘weak’, it’s that the bastards are weak.”
“…”
“It seems like he’s saying that the magician who entered as a freshman this time is superior, and the psychic is lacking. Isn’t it true?”
“…Isn’t it true that the difference was actually seen in these three accidents?”
And at such a sharp remark on the holy day, a man next to Yudi steps forward and uses explicit expressions.
‘I’m going to give that bastard too?’
The relationship between the obvious guys. Seong-il puts on her fishy smile and develops her own logic.
“You’re sick.”
“…Is this bastard for real?”
“Shall we speak frankly?”
“What?”
“It’s simple. Bring all those six asshole freshmen to me. I guarantee you, even if you sparred 1-on-6 with the exes, you could play with them and beat them up.”
“…!!!”
Seong-il’s arrogant remark. Despite the hardened expressions of her seniors, Seong-il continues her own logic regardless.
“Is it real?”
“Because this bastard wants to see you…!!”
Now, another wizard next to Yudi gets angry and spits out abusive words at Seongil. And when he realizes that he is ‘Devin’, who had been quarreling with him before, Seong-il starts to spit out verbal abuse as if it went well.
“Are you going to open your mouth again? Then how about this one?”
“…?”
“I’m going to have a 1:3 sparring against the three seniors you just told me about.”
“…What?”
“Then you can tell whether I’m bluffing or not?”
“…A madman.”
“If you don’t believe it, let’s try it?”
“…”
Provocation of the Holy Days lasting. As he gritted his teeth and fell silent, Seong-il ignored him and continued to say what he thought.
“It’s just that those wizards were lucky enough to catch moderately weak psychic powers and beat them. It was just a simple assault. If the three of them quarreled with me at the same time, all three of them were beaten by me and carried away. Would you?”
“…”
“Then, the level of wizards this year is shit, and the level of psychics is overwhelming?”
“Sophistry…”
“Don’t bullshit. It’s just an accidental result due to individual differences between a small number of people. To be honest, it’s really not the same. In a situation where nearly 1,000 freshmen were enrolled, only six students argued and accidentally came up with similar results with a psychic. You say that there is a difference in level between the wizards, and you say something that sparks a conflict between the two? Is this the lead?
“That’s not…”
“That’s why I’d like to ask the three of you. Aren’t you guys discriminatory?”
“!!!!”
“Isn’t it? From what I’ve seen, it seems like you usually have that kind of thought? If not, you wouldn’t be spouting nonsense like that, aiming for the timing like a ghost…”
“No, I’m not like that…”
At Seong-il’s harsh words, Yu-di puts on a puzzled expression. And some of the seniors who saw that pitiful expression asked Seong-il with displeased expressions.
“Oh… You’re a junior with full of confidence. No, should I say arrogant?”
“Arrogance? Me?”
“Isn’t that so?”
“Call!”
“…?”
The sorceress puts on an absurd expression when she sees Seong-il spitting out nonsense. Her Seongil looks at her like that and continues her words with her mischievous expression.
“1:4 including you.”
“!!!!!”
A female sorceress whose face turns red when she says that she will deal with her at once, including herself. Her Seongil looks at her like that and spits out her provocative words endlessly.
“Haa… Seniors of the leading team, do you still stand still even though the juniors are going so far?”
“!!!!”
Seong-il takes advantage of her own rudeness and subtly turns her psychic vs wizard into a leader vs. Seong-il.
Even the seniors with psychic powers were offended by this remark, and they also glared at her Seongil with a cold expression.
“It’s so… Disappointing.”
“…Can you not regret those words?”
In the end, when her sorceress, who could not stand Seong-il’s provocation, glared at him with her ferocious eyes, Seong-il shrugged her shoulders and beckoned to her.
“No, why do I regret it? Of course it’s a match to win.”
“Eug!!”
The sorceress was so angry that she bit her teeth hard. Seong-il realizes that his operation has been successful, and starts waving his hands in a cheeky manner to the watchers.
“It seems that the seniors here have made up their mind, but the three of them will definitely have a fight, right?”
“…”
And seeing this catastrophe, Claudia and Albert put their hands on their heads and closed their eyes as if they were in trouble.
