BXBX NOVEL Chapter 163 - [? Round] I’m ready
Chapter 163 - [? Round] I’m ready
Who was the vice president of the student council? This time again, I had no idea.
“Excuse me. A student from the secondary education center went missing during a field investigation. According to eyewitness accounts, it was said that he disappeared while fighting with an intimidating man who caused numbness just by making eye contact with him.”
She was a very intelligent and beautiful woman. She wore a monocle and a well-groomed brown suit that fit her curved figure and calm expression.
“Then you came to the wrong person.”
Those who made eye contact recognized me as a pushover. There were countless irrationalities and absurdities that I experienced since the 1st playthrough due to my appearance being as gentle as a rabbit. How much inner struggle had it caused for me?
“…What is your relationship with Noebius, the Dragon King?”
“Ha! It seems that you underestimate me because I look naive! Auntie! Do you think I’ll obediently answer your question?”
“A-Auntie…?!”
Wrinkles were drawn on her forehead.
“Listen. I am a very busy man. I’m not free enough to deal with a strange woman looking for a missing middle school student in an elementary school dorm. If you understand, then get out.”
“The missing student’s name is Kyle. Do you still not know?”
“You’re persistent. I have no obligation to answer. Why don’t you just stop bullying weak elementary school students? It’s very ugly.”
“…It is not just the appearance of the suspect that I have learned from an eyewitness account. A blue wyvern tied to the stables of this dormitory, and the two friends whom you acted together with for days also match.”
She was a very persistent woman. I started to feel unpleasant.
? Race: Miracle Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Queen (Charm → Domination↑)
? Skills: Magic ZZ Mana ZZ Five Senses Z Charm Z Leadership Z…
? Status: Holy Grail, Divine Beast
Was it because she was the student council president? The higher the Charm, the higher the Dominance of the job Queen. But when it came to this woman’s fighting power, she wasn’t very good. Rather, it would be much more helpful to be a Witch whose Mana increased the more beautiful they were.
She wouldn’t be an easy foe, though. It was too much to make a mistake. Could I finish her in one shot by surprise? It didn’t matter if I tried or not. If I attacked a middle school student who trespassed into the dorm and my score dropped, I could fall away from 1st place.
The problem was, there was a chance I would be beaten instead. From the 1st playthrough, magic wasn’t my specialties. There were quite a few opportunities to acquire it, but I avoided it because it was a pure fantasy ability. It was still the same now.
I knew some theories to fight against it, but this was my first time dealing with a wizard in the Transcendent Realm. So there were many variables to consider.
Even so-
“I would like to ask for your cooperation. The missing student was the vice president of the secondary education center student council. We’re not trying to penalize those involved. We’re looking for a replacement for the missing vice president. If you defeated him, you would naturally take over his place.”
I stopped thinking. The surprise attack was, of course, on hold. No, I must not do it. Defeating the vice president of the student council would make me the vice president of the student council. Then, if I kill the student council president in front of me by surprise, I’ll become the president of the student council, right?
A landmine to go through the secondary education curriculum regardless of my grades! If her explanation had been a little late, I would have been taken to the secondary school student council without knowing what happened.
“Auntie. I won’t say it twice, so listen carefully. I’ve never killed a middle school student during the festival. Just look at my abilities. Do you think I can beat a middle school student like this?”
“We’ll see about that.”
The student council president fiddled with her monocle.
“It is no use measuring my combat power with a magic tool. In the first place, it was made for natives who couldn’t see the abilities, right? So why would you do such a pointless thing…”
“It’s a special tool.”
“Special?”
“Yes. It measures combat power based on the achievements the target has accumulated over their life, not their skill and level. A student who does well on the written test isn’t necessarily smart. That’s why this tool was developed.”
“There are all sorts of bizarre tools, huh?”
Measuring combat power based on the achievements that had been accumulated? It wasn’t even funny. What if the person who could defeat the Demon Lord Pedonar with one finger was a pacifist and did nothing? Their combat power would be lightly evaluated because no achievements were accumulated.
It was complete nonsense.
“…Isn’t your combat power strange?”
“Of course, it would be strange. To measure the combat power of a peace-loving good hero in such a low-objective way—”
“It’s too high.”
“…What?”
“This isn’t the combat power that can come out from an elementary school student, is it? Even if you enter the upper classes of the secondary education curriculum, there will be no sense of contradiction. Considering that there is a limit to the achievements that can be accumulated in the elementary education center… your combat power surpasses even a secondary school student…ah! This was a big leap. No matter how good you are, you’re still an elementary school student.”
That’s what she said, but she looked me up and down with a sharp gaze like an aunt choosing a luxury bag.
“What you looking at? There weren’t any handsome men around you, huh?”
“There are too many to count. Hmmm! Rather, I think it’s a waste for a talented person like you to rot in the elementary education center. There is a reason why you’re on the fifth floor of the dormitory that has been sealed for over seven hundred years.”
The atmosphere flowed poorly. I decided I shouldn’t keep talking to this woman.
“The way you measure combat power by achievements is strange. You can’t compare a middle school student who caught one troll to a diligent elementary school student who caught a hundred trolls. I am just a sincere hero.”
“This tool isn’t that…”
“Gosh, you’re so noisy! Auntie, if you’re going to say bad things, just get out of there!”
I pushed the student council president, who I couldn’t kill as I wanted, out the front door. She looked like she still had a lot to say, but I didn’t care.
Click!
And I made sure to lock the door. It locked automatically, but I dead-bolted it to make sure it was closed.
“Student Kang Han-soo. There’s no point in locking it. She can enter the floating garden on the roof of the dormitory.”
Elise had a troubled expression.
“You said no one could come in there?”
“A transparent barrier would block a normal student. However, the other party is the student council president, who legitimately entered the fifth floor. The system will be flexible enough to allow her to go the other way.”
“What a convenient flexibility!”
It had always been strict and inflexible on my report card! Speaking of which, I decided to ask Elise one more question.
“You said the vice president of the student council was her boyfriend?”
“I did not give false information to Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. Anyone who helped with a cumbersome practical test in their school days would become their boyfriend, right? The reason the student council president is in such a hurry is that the vice president of the student council, who was doing the job for her, disappeared.”
“Oh, I see.”
I heard the truth I didn’t want to know.
“I know exactly what happened because I’ve watched it all through the name tag. It wasn’t Kang Han-soo who killed the vice president of the student council, but Noebius, the Dragon King. But, of course, we will never pass this information on to the student council president. It’s against the rules.”
“Then is it legal to read my thoughts?”
“It’s legal because it’s part of a proper education.”
It was a relief that the Demon King didn’t get caught because the MAX-Class dormitory was spacious. After all, she would perfectly misunderstand that I treated the Demon King Pedonar as a subordinate if she saw his pitiful appearance where he was living as a freeloader. Using this as an excuse, I might be scouted by the secondary school student council. That alone should be avoided at all costs.
“I think I should avoid going outside for the time being.”
I couldn’t help the two porters grow, but once the two were accustomed to the flow, they would be strong enough that I wouldn’t need to take an active role. So should I say they’re accelerating? If things go on like this, I should be able to return to Earth in a year.
Or so I thought at the time…
*
“This must be the academic monopoly of a transcendent being.”
Otherwise, this situation couldn’t be explained. There was no way my score and ranking could be like this when I stayed in the dorm all day.
? Score: 36485
? Rank: 1
My score kept going up even though I didn’t do anything, to the point where special measures were required. However, it was also difficult because the student council president of the secondary education center, who I expected to give up and go back soon, wandered around the dormitory-like a hungry hyena.
Elise explained.
“It’s not like Graduate Student Kang Han-soo’s grades just go up. There’s a bonus for taking care of the Demon King, who should have been cared for by the teaching staff. Whenever Noebius, the Dragon King, who is automatically registered as a pet, plays an active part as the trainer, you also get some points. And even in the city where the elves live, a mission completion is recorded from time to time, and points are coming in.”
“Boss K…!”
Putting a knife in my back with a smile, isn’t that what I should be saying? I did nothing. I didn’t even contact Elf City, let alone visit it. However, there were frequent records of perfect performance for various duties.
- Curing the depression that the Elf Mayor’s daughter suffered from 200 points
- Actively helping with paperwork at Elf City Hall: 10 points
- Breathing new energy into the Elf City: 40 points
- Delivering dreams and hopes to the lower Elven races: 500 points
- Increased the Elf City’s security rate to 90%: 30 points
Who the hell was me who was active 24 hours a day in Elf City? My dear companion Noebius was also formidable.
- Defeating the angel knight Kriel by trampling on him: 20 points
- Defeating the fallen angel Eurapoel brutally: 50 points
- Execution of the incompetent Angel Mayor Boruel: 30 points
- Putting the Archangel Shabriel in critical condition: 100 points
I didn’t do anything, but I was given points indirectly from those around me. If it went on like this, I would be dragged to the secondary education center while asleep. It wasn’t easy to lower my score with penalty points. Inside the dorm, I was the king. Harming the maids and vandalism didn’t cut my score. Even a bizarre situation in the reverse direction happened.
For example…
- You have earned 3 points from the broken pot!
- You found 10 points on the body of the maid Narsha!
-Successfully taunting Demon King Pedonar: 2 points
- You found 2 points in the closet drawer!
…It was like this. Others were howling for even one point, but I gained two just by making eye contact with a mermaid sunbathing in the pool. While saying that the seduction was successful…
It was certainly dangerous at this rate. I had to go out of the dormitory and start sweeping up penalty points.
“Well? My son-in-law, are you finally leaving?”
The Demon King, who was reading while lying on the soft sofa, glanced at me as he meddled.
“Because things aren’t going well.”
At this rate, it seemed like I would end up as the overwhelming number one.
“I can sympathize with you because this is a prison for me as well, but isn’t it something you can think of? If you want to live in this tough world, it’s better to be a little stronger. And worrying about your abilities disappearing is also in vain. I will never cooperate with my sister, after all.”
“You never know the future.”
And what was the point of being stronger than now? I couldn’t even engage in filial piety that everyone else did.
“Demon King, I think it has been a long wait.”
I slowly pulled up a new force. I wasn’t just playing while I was locked up in the dorm for almost a year. One reason I despised my colleagues from the 1st playthrough was negligence. They were just thinking of playing around all day. In front of weak villains, they bluffed a lot, and they cowardly attacked the strong villains in a group.
They made no effort and were jealous of the hero. And how about when they heard that the fearsome Demon King who wanted to destroy the world had been resurrected? Or when the Demon King’s subordinates scattered around the world were harassing people?
Despite that, my colleagues laughed and chatted leisurely. I couldn’t understand it at the time, and from that moment on, I learned sincerity.
Even now, decades later. I am constantly looking for ways to become stronger and grow, and if there is something to learn from others, I don’t care whether they are a demon or an enemy. God was no exception.
“Hero! If you’re a spirit, you have to use specialized attributes like a spirit. Isn’t it too much of an abuse of human racial characteristics? What a possibility…”
The Demon King muttered as if it were absurd. I shrugged.
“My attribute is human, after all.”
Now I wouldn’t look back but move forward. I won’t hesitate or stop until I move away from number one.
‘Because I’m ready.’
“Ha! Secondary education center?”
Damn headmaster. If you want to send me there, just try it. I would destroy the secondary education center, after all.
