The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All Chapter 50

The expressions on their faces when they saw the earrings were quite a sight to behold.

Han Soo-Young looked at with a surprised expression, and the senior male student, whose na I didn't know yet, opened his eyes wide as he looked at the earrings I was holding.

Because even at first glance, he could tell that it was a high-end item.

Co to think of it, in the early stages of the ga, rare level items were also extrely rare.

As I recalled the hazy mories, he tried to smile.

“Oh, yes. By the way…… Um, what's your na?"

“I'm Yoo Ji-Hyuk.”

"Oh, yeah. Since I'm older, I'll speak casually. Is that okay?"

The guy who spoke informally from the beginning is now what?

As I looked at him as if to say do whatever you want, he began to explain to in a tone as if he were teaching .

“The artifact is, you know? It's very delicate and minute...… Yes, it can be said to be a crystal of magic engineering. It takes three days and three nights to engrave a magic circle on a single crude stone. I understand the feeling, but isn't it too exaggerated to say that such an earring that looks plausible on the outside is an artifact?"

I nodded at his words and handed it to Han Soo-Young.

I glanced once at Han Soo-Young, who accepted it without a second thought, and then I looked straight at him.

"Thank you for worrying about , but honestly, it's none of Senior's business, right?"

"What?"

“I bought this earring with money from her.”

I calmly lied and looked at him with a stern look.

“If sothing goes wrong, it’s my responsibility, and I don’t think it’s your business.”

"What? No, what did this bastard say in such a way...… .”

“If you don’t have anything else to say, is it okay if we leave?”

Saying that, I deliberately placed my hand on Han Soo-Young's shoulder.

Han Soo-Young flinched, but she didn't hit my hand or avoid it.

“I and Soo-Young decided to go to the reading club together. We're a little busy."

At my words, his expression gradually twisted into anger.

I glanced at him with a smile.

“So, Senior. Please keep your eye out a little.”

At those words, he reflexively looked at Han Soo-Young.

I couldn't see Han Soo-Young's expression, but sohow I felt like I knew what kind of expression she was making.

“Soo-Young, this bastard now…… .”

“Sorry, Senior, but my thoughts aren’t that different from Ji-Hyuk’s.”

"What?"

Han Soo-young spoke to him clearly, with a voice that seed to hold it in.

“It is uncomfortable that you keep texting and calling , it is uncomfortable that you keep talking to in the club, and it is very burdenso and uncomfortable that you keep approaching like this. I've told you so many tis. You really don't know why I don't co to the club these days?”

Han Soo-Young took a small breath and began to shoot back.

“You seem to be spreading so weird rumors, which really pisses off and makes feel like I'm about to say sothing bad, so please stop. And just to make sure, soone like the Senior is never my type and I have no intention of dating you, Senior. So, please don't talk to again."

Han Soo-Young added a little.

“Before I really kill you.”

Then she suddenly began to walk along, pulling .

I turned around and saw him looking at with an indescribable look on his face.

I can't rember his face, so I guess he is just an extra I don't need to worry about.

Just as I was thinking it was no big deal, Han Soo-Young, who was walking while holding my hand, let out a big breath as if she was relieved.

“Oh, I'm relieved. I should've done this earlier.”

And she held out the earring I had given her earlier.

"Here. And thank you for sticking with earlier.”

"No, you can keep those."

"What?"

I quickly added an explanation before Han Soo-Young misunderstood.

"I went that far earlier, but now, if you don't wear it, it'll beco even more annoying. It's really an artifact, so you can wear it."

“No, how could I do this…… .”

Han Soo-Young hesitated and muttered while holding the earrings, but to be honest, from my point of view, it was far more beneficial for her to have it.

I wouldn't be able to use it anyway, and considering the incident that would occur at the Guild Invitation Ceremony in a few days, Han Soo-Young's strength had to be raised as much as possible.

In the guild invitation, the events unfold differently depending on who the main character is.

Among the two, Choi Hyun-Woo and Han Soo-Young, it is already known a long ti ago that Han Soo-Young is closer to the main character, so the main event will probably revolve around her.

If there's one problem...… .

“…… .”

I just hoped that Han Soo-Young wouldn't take it in a different way.

Earlier, I was a bit pissed off and angry, so I didn't feel like I had done anything wrong, but when I thought about it in a slightly calr state, it was like I had dug my own grave.

Because giving earrings as a gift wasn't a common thing.

“I can't even use them anyway. Let's just say you're borrowing it and return it later."

At my words, Han Soo-Young pondered for a mont, and then carefully put them in her pocket.

"…Thank you. I'll be careful and return it to you.”

“I'm really just lending it to you. It doesn't an anything."

"I know."

While we were talking like that, we arrived at the library.

As I was surprised at the scale, Han Soo-Young added that the whole building was a library.

We went inside.

The interior was much more splendid, but when I stopped for a mont, overwheld by the scale, Han Soo-Young skillfully pulled as if guiding .

It was like a front desk, where so students and librarians gathered.

And a female student, who noticed and Han Soo-Young, got up from her seat and looked at us.

"Hi."

“Hello, Senior.”

Han Soo-Young greeted her with a friendly manner that was clearly different from the guy before.

As I bowed my head, the girl looked at , fixing her glasses.

“Are you him?”

“Yes, I'm sorry to co now.”

“You don't have to feel sorry. To be honest, more than half of the students just put their nas on the list and don't co.”

With those words, she handed a piece of paper.

When I received it, with simple rules and precautions written on it, she explained to in a quiet voice.

“If you read it, you will know pretty much everything. Unlike other clubs, we don't have many external activities. There are only occasional book reports or thesis presentation competitions. There are prizes and extra points at stake, so if you're interested, try participating.”

"Yes."

“And if there is one thing I can tell you, you have to take turns doing volunteer work with five people every week. It's not a lot, about ten hours a week altogether, and you'll be helping the librarians with so simple tasks. And since there are so many people, you can think of it as one or two turns per sester.”

"Yes, I understand."

Hearing her explanation, I vaguely rember.

Obviously, sothing small happened during the volunteer work, but I can't rember the details except for one thing.

Even so, I figured it was probably not important, given that I didn't rember much about it.

It must have been a event.

"Then there's nothing more I can tell you. Bye."

After greeting us in a light manner, she sat back down and continued her work.

I shrugged my shoulders and looked at Han Soo-Young as if I had nothing more to say.

"Since we're here, why don't you borrow so books?"

Han Soo-Young nodded as if she had been waiting for my words.

“Shall I? Then see you here in an hour."

Watching Han Soo-Young disappearing at a fast pace sowhere, as if she had been waiting, I also turned around.

I was thinking that since I was here, I might as well look for so hidden skills or items.

It was definitely in the philosophy part.

That was the only information I rembered.

And when I saw the bookshelf spreading out like the sea, I imdiately put my mind to rest.

Not joking, I thought I would have to stay up all night at least a week to find each one here.

Yeah, it can't go that easily.

It was when I gave up thinking so and took out anything I could get my hands on.

“It’s surprising. I thought you weren't interested at all."

I let out my breath involuntarily at the sound of a voice right next to .

And I frowned at it and spat at that side.

“Please, why don't you go around giving off signs of human presence?”

"If you want, I'll do that from now on."

"Hush."

"Oh."

The owner of the voice was Jin Ye-Seul.

She licked her lips at my point and smiled as she looked at the title of the book I had pulled out.

“The boundary between humans and monsters. It's a very difficult and arcane book."

“That's none of your business, have you been following until now?”

Even though I asked like that, I got chills in my spine.

I didn't notice at all.

I got goosebumps thinking that Jin Ye-Seul had been following up until now.

If so, what was she thinking and following ?

But at my question, she waved her hand slightly.

"No way. I just saw young mas...… I an, Ji-Hyuk, I saw you entering the library and followed you.”

As I was putting the books back in, Jin Ye-Seul was looking at with the sa smile on her face.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about sothing. So I ca along."

"What?"

“Well, so in short, it's this.”

Jin Ye-Seul stared at .

"Of course, I said I would give you loyalty, but I didn't an that I would give you free loyalty, did I? So, I wanted you to slowly give an opportunity to trust."

She twisted it around, but in short, it was like this.

Please tell the whereabouts of the remaining legacy.

At the sa ti, I pretended not to hear her secretly threatening .

Jin Ye-Seul was still looking at with a smile on her face, even though I was intentionally ignoring her as I took out another book to read.

I thought she'd stay like that until I showed so kind of reaction.

I fixed my eyes on the book and opened my mouth.

“Anyway, there's sothing you can do for at the guild's invitation."

“What do you want to do?"

As if she had been waiting for it, Jin Ye-Seul's eyes lit up and she approached .

She then stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, like a snake aiming for its prey.

"I'll let you know when the ti cos, so for now, just stay still."

At those words, Jin Ye-Seul twisted her lips as if she was slightly dissatisfied.

But I couldn't help it.

The Guild Invitation was one of the Academy's most influential episodes.

With so many guilds, governnt officials, heroes, hunter associations, and even broadcasters and civilians, it could be seen as nothing short of one giant event.

And, as always in this kind of event, Orhe Academy is attacked from the outside.

In the aftermath of the attack, they fight off the main perpetrators of the cri and grow up to beco famous in their own way.......This was the main story.

And as it may be natural in a way, all conditions, including stories, roles, and main antagonists, were different for each playable character.

The problem was that I couldn't rember them properly.

‘It’s not even in the setting book…… .'

The only thing I rember is that Choi Hyun-Woo and Ahn Do-Hoon will have a duel.

Alice Blessbuck moves with Cass Lyle.

And Jin Ye-Seul's psycho temperant will appear here for the first ti.

In addition, I had no way of knowing how the main antagonists would play out, since they appeared in different ways depending on who was playing the character.

If Han Soo-Young was the main character, there would be a Red Case, but considering that the Thorns Cross Society recently appeared at a different ti than the original story, I couldn't even be sure of that.

In the end, it was sothing that had to be adjusted according to the situation.

And in such a situation, it was clear that the existence of Jin Ye-Seul, who had a certain amount of force and fast mobility, would be a great help.

"And please don't co this way until I call you."

"Well…… Can I ask you one more thing? It's just personal curiosity."

Jin Ye-Seul pretended not to hear my request.

She then looked at and asked, with her mouth smiling, but her eyes not smiling at all.

“I've been thinking about it, but why aren't you learning his legacy? I've thought about it a lot and it's a little...… Strange.”

"I wonder what you an."

I snorted at her as if I had heard a nonsensical question.

“He was a man who had made a great thief of himself and wandered his whole life without a single decent place to settle. Do you think he's the kind of great man who would give it all away just because it's his blood? It's even more strange that you left a trace in the first place and died.”

And I added as if I didn't want to talk anymore.

"Why, do you want to tell you all the reasons why I didn't collect all of that human legacy?"

Then she shook her head and looked at .

She looked at with eyes full of incomprehensible emotions, and then looked away.

"But…… .”

Jin Ye-Seul nodded as if she had accepted.

Fortunately, I was able to get away with it because it was a question I had expected in advance.

In other words, it ant that Jin Ye-Seul was still suspicious of .

I took a small breath and waved my hand as if asking her to go away.

“Anyway, just wait until that day. If you do it right then, I'll hand over one trace. Find it out or not, it's up to you."

Shadow Walker's legacy was the only way to control Jin Ye-Seul.

So I would never give it away easily, but I had to give it a little bit at the right ti so that she could be patient and follow .

“I’ve been waiting for years, so it wouldn’t be a problem to wait a few more days.”

“…… .”

At my order, Jin Ye-Seul bowed her head as if she understood.

As I was breathing a sigh of relief that I had sohow managed to make it work, Jin Ye-Seul muttered a small 'Oops,' as if she had rembered sothing she had forgotten.

“I almost forgot about it. I was originally looking for you to give you this."

With those words, Jin Ye-Seul took sothing out of her pocket and held it out to .

I received it reflexively.

“What is this?”

When I opened the envelope, there was money inside.

When I looked at her as if asking for an explanation, Jin Ye-Seul had an expression on her face as if she had given what she should have given.

“My part-ti job.”

“…?”

You told to get a part-ti job then.

Seeing Jin Ye-Seul adding like that, I was at a loss for words.
