  While I was about to open the store, out of curiosity, I found Isolet still glaring at me sitting in front of me as she slowly opened her mouth.
I decided to check the store later and started listening to Isolet’s words.  

  

 

  “…Frey, are you all right?” 

 

  “What?” 

 

  “Last time… at the auction house… that incident…”

 

  As it turns out, after Irina left, Isolet just held me back because she was concerned about my well being. 

 

 

  Isolet clearly told me the other day that she won’t treat me privately as acquaintances anymore.
But here she is talking to me casually without even realizing.
I stared at her for a while and then soon opened my mouth.  

  

 

  “Oh, in the back alley?” 

 

  “…Frey!” 

  

 

  As I spoke about the back alley in a calm manner, Isolet yelled at me, which caused some of the surrounding teachers to flinch and glance at us.

   

 

  “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about the date we had at that time…” 

 

  “…Don’t force me to draw my sword in the staff room, Frey.” 

 

  “…Sorry.” 

  

 

  Isolet returned to her cold stiff state, when I poked her chronic disease condition, then I began to speak calmly. 

 

 

  “Back then, a strange aura engulfed the auction house, so I escaped the auction house while exuding stellar mana.” 

 

  “…Is that so?” 

 

  “Hmm, are you mad because I left you behind? You should know very well how much of a selfish bastard I can be, don’t you? And even if I possess stellar mana, it’s the size of an ant… I couldn’t afford to protect you, Professor.” 

 

  “…Right.” 

 

  “And in the first place, the Professor has surpassed the level of a mere swordsman… Shouldn’t you be able to withstand that aura on your own to a certain extent? So don’t be too angry at me?” 

  

 

  In order to be hated by Isolet, I spoke in a tone that was as cold as possible, and then used my ⟦Mind Reading⟧ skill hoping that her emotional state might have changed… However, a moment later I had no choice but to sigh. 

  

 

[Isolet Arham Bywalker’s current emotions: Disappointment/Concern/Doubt/Regret/Pity]

  

 

  ‘The contempt and rage are gone… but the concern is still there.
If she stays like this, she will be in trouble…’ 

  

 

  I was wondering what I could say to make her hate me, since if this situation continues, Isolet’s life will be in danger.
But soon I opened my eyes wide when I discovered one particular emotion standing out amongst the others.  

  

 

  ‘…Doubt?’ 

  

 

  According to my ⟦Mind Reading⟧ skill, Isolet is currently ‘doubting’ me.
I’m not even sure what in the world that means. 

  

 

   “…Professor.” 

 

  “What is it?” 

  “Well, is there something you want to ask me?” 

  

 

  In the end, after contemplating for a while, I decided to ask her. 

  

 

  “…Yes, I do want to ask you one thing.”

  Isolet hesitated for a moment, but then soon glared at me and asked.

  

 

  “What’s your relationship with Kania?” 

 

  “..What?” 

  

 

  I flinched and asked her what she meant with an absurd expression on my face.  

  

 

  “…What do you mean by relationship?” 

 

  “Literally what it means.
Remember unhealthy relationships are forbidden in the academy.” 

 

  “…I’ve never heard of that before.
You will be shocked if you knew what has been going on behind the scenes of the academy.”

  When I responded shamelessly, Isolet glared at me with a cold expression on her face and said. 

  

 

  “Frey, I’m not in the mood for jokes.
I stopped by the dorm earlier this morning, and while I was passing by the hallway… I saw Kania grabbing her stomach when she came out of the dorm with you.”
 

  “…Is that so?” 

 

  “Of course, it was when you were distracted and looking elsewhere.” 

  

 

  Having said that, Isolet momentarily paused, then soon opened her mouth with a blush on her face.

 

 

 “Whe-When a man and a woman come out of the same room… and the woman is holding lower abdomen… The only possibility that I can think of… is that…” 

 

  “…….” 

 

  “…Am I wrong?” 

  

 

  As I stared at Isolet with a puzzled look, when she shyly asked that question and turned her gaze to the side.

  

 

 “…Have you ever considered the possibility of Kania having a stomachache?” 

 

  “That’s… but then her reaction at the cafe… as expected…” 

 

  “…Professor, are you having trouble with your urges?” 

  

 

  I was getting annoyed listening to her ignorant delusions any longer, so I raised my voice a little and asked irritatingly, Isolet momentarily shut her mouth and muttered shyly.

   

 

  “Anyway, unhealthy relationships are forbidden.
Next time something like that happens in front of my eyes…” 

 

  “…I’ll take my leave then.” 

 

  “…Yes, goodbye.” 

  

 

  Judging that further discussion will just be a waste of time, I got up from my seat feeling a slight headache.  

  

 

  “…Frey.” 

 

  “What is it again?” 

  

 

  However, just as I was about to head out of the staff room, Isolet suddenly called me in a low voice.
As I slowly turned to face her, wondering what else she was going to say, I found Isolet looking at me with a serious expression on her face.
 

  “…A sword’s purpose isn’t to slay people, it’s meant to protect them.” 

  

 

  Eventually, she caressed the sword beside her and spoke words that were quite familiar to me.

  

 

  I stopped for a moment and let those words sink in, as they are the ideals I wield my sword for.
But a moment later I retorted. 

  

 

  “So what?” 

 

  “… Don’t treat her too harshly in the upcoming duel.” 

 

  “Well, you don’t need to worry.
It’s a duel between two losers anyway.” 

  

 

  After giving her a vague answer with a smirk, I walked out of the staff room and muttered inwardly. 

  

 

  ‘…Sister still remembers those words.’ 

  

 

  Feeling somewhat better, I walked down the hallway humming to myself, but when I recalled what I had done to Irina, I began to feel depressed again as I trudged back to the classroom
  

 

  Maybe I should go for a drink today. 

  

 

 . 

 . 

 . 

 . 

 . 

  

 

  “Hmm…” 

  

 

  Meanwhile, Isolet, who had been carefully examining Frey’s expression, muttered while sitting in the staff room with her hand on her chin.

  

 

  “…Was it an illusion after all?” 

  

 

  Frey’s life was being threatened in more ways than he had expected.

  

 

 . 

 .

 . 

 . 

 . 

  

 

  “Ugh, my head…” 

  

 

  I was feeling restless, so after class and a few drinks with some aristocratic students, I returned to the deserted dormitory and threw myself on my bed.

  “…Did I drink too much?” 

  

 

  In my previous life, I used to drink a lot to relieve my stress of committing evil deeds, and since I felt a bit depressed today, I decided to drown my sorrow in liquor like old times.

  Thanks to this, my body feels exhausted on top of being severely wounded and my vitality and lifespan being massively reduced. 

  

 

  However, because of my high mental strength, I can’t help but feel a little better whenever I drink to my heart’s content.

  

 

  I’m known to the world as a lightweight who gets drunk after drinking half a bottle.   

   

 

  “… Let’s check out the newly acquired skills, shall we?” 

  

 

  Grabbing my throbbing, aching head, I opened the newly unlocked skill store window, and a large window appeared in front of me 

  

 

 

[Store / Elementary Skills Level 2]

– Life Force Recovery (1000pts)
Description: Permanently slightly increases the life force recovery rate.
(Total amount does not increase)

– False Evil’s Deception Lv2 (700pts)
Description: Permanently slightly increases the persuasiveness of lies.

– Inspect Lv3 (1000pts)
Description: The Inspect skill numerically displays the degree of how good or evil a person actually is.
(-100~100)

  

 

  “…I definitely need to buy the first skill.” 

  

 

  Since I’m already in such a state after only getting penalized once, I think I need to buy the first skill as soon as possible. 

 
  

   Of course, it won’t increase my life force or lifespan that has already been depleted… but it will still be quite helpful to have my life force recover faster, since when I infuse life force into Kania at night, my body remains languid for the rest of the day.

  

 

  ‘…The rest of the skills would be nice to have as well.’ 

  

 

  After giving the second and third skill a brief glance and rating them as useful in my heart, I tried to close my eyes to get some rest before Kania arrived…

  

 

 Notice

[There is an important change!]

  

 

  “…Huh?” 

  

 

  As soon as a notification window popped up, I stretched out my hand with a bewildered expression. 

  

 

 Main Quest: Hidden Route!

Achievement Method: In the ❰Performance Evaluation❱ scenario, make a bet with Irina and force her to take the ‘Oath of Death’ while maintaining lower favorability with her.

 

Quest Content: Win the duel against Irina!

  

 

  “…Oh, this.” 

  

 

  And as I was reading the contents displayed in the prompt, I soon lost interest and swiped it away without even glancing at the reward.

  

 

  My ancestor, who already mastered the game, mentioned this particular hidden quest in the prophetic book.   

  

  And according to the prophetic book, this hidden quest shouldn’t be accepted.
The rewards are great, but if I accept this quest, the probability of Irina discovering my true nature as False Evil will skyrocket.
   

  

  It’s a hundred times better to be a mana supplier than blowing my cover.
Because if I get penalized once more, I really don’t know what will happen. 

  

 

 – Thud 

  

 

  Thinking like that… I was about to close my eyes this time, but the dormitory door was slammed open.
It seems like Kania has returned. 

  

 

  ‘…Ha, it can’t help it.’ 

  

 

  Since now that I have skill to increase my life force recovery rate, I was about to rest for a while until my body recovers… but seeing Kania return; I was about to get up from the bed to share my life force.

  

 

  “Y-Young Master…” 

 

  “..
.Kania?” 

  

 

   For some reason, I found Kania holding her belly and gasping for breath as I hastily rushed to her side. 

  

 

  “…Kania what’s wrong all of a sudden?” 

 

  “M-My stomach… the stellar mana… the side effects…” 

 

  “…What?” 

 

  “Ha…! Don’t touch me…!” 

  

 

  Since she complained about serious abdominal pain, I put my hand on her stomach, but Kania fiercely shoved it away. 

  

 

  “I-I’m sorry… But… I can’t stand it any longer… I-If you don’t do anything… my stomach… Ugh…!” 

 

  “…Kania? Kania!!” 

  

  After struggling to continue her words in a trembling voice, she soon grabbed me and shivered.

  

 

  “No more… it’s unbearable… I know it’s a shameless request, but… please help me before it’s too late…” 

 

  “…Ha.” 

  

 

  As I silently watched Kania, who began to look at me with tear-filled eyes, I eventually heaved a sigh and carried her to bed
   

 

   I’m afraid tonight might be a little long.
