Chapter 54
The next day, morning.
Now, even before Amy wakes up, she wakes up on her own.
‘Ah, it must be a day off today, but it’s so annoying to go.’
However, the fact that the school will be closed this week is a fact that only I know at this point.
If you don’t go to school, other students will think it’s weird.
I don’t want to be an angular stone.
I can’t hide that I’ve changed now.
···I immediately moved to the Hero Department.
“…this week is a holiday. I don’t have to go to school tomorrow, so take a good rest this week and see you next week.”
As soon as Locke finished speaking, I left the classroom.
Well······.
‘Sienna didn’t go to school.’
At this point, I don’t think it’s serious.
I’ll have to listen to it later to see if it’s anything special.
With that thought in mind, I immediately boarded the circle wagon.
Dumpling, tickling—
‘Let’s go to the Knights Department first.’
If the time is right now, you will be able to observe the lectures from the 2nd period.
I’ve seen all the skills of most of the Knights Faculty students, but I have something to test.
As I sat in the back seat diagonally to the right of the carriage, I recalled last night.
[Amplification Sphere]
Higher Artifact obtained from Francis.
In this work, it was used only to amplify the magic of Francis’ status abnormality, but as a higher-level artifact, it can be used for other purposes as well.
‘This object can amplify not only magic, but also characteristics.’
There is only one applicable characteristic, but this alone is enormous.
In other words, it is possible to change an expert-level attribute to a master-level attribute.
···Of course, I don’t even have an expert level.
The attributes I currently have are [Descendants of Heroes], [Twisted Nobility], [Neutralize Magic], [Eye of Observer], and [Sword Beginner].
5 in total.
Just by amplifying a beginner-level characteristic into a user-level characteristic at once is a major development.
It was originally intended to be used as a treasure trove for a relic exploration next week.
But last night, while I was practicing swordsmanship in my room with the [Amplification Sphere] in my body.
[Please select a trait to enhance.]
Suddenly a message popped up.
[Descendants of the Heroes] cannot be strengthened because it is a blood trait, but the remaining 4 characteristics could be strengthened.
So, for now, [Sword Beginner] is amplified to [Sword User]. It is even possible to switch to a different trait whenever needed.
···In all routes in this work, Neike was a certified hogu, and gave these precious things to the academy, so there was no need to experiment.
I couldn’t stand the corners of my lips rising.
‘Then what happens if you apply it to master-class attributes such as Sword Master and Weapon Master?’
It is doubtful whether I will be able to get it for the rest of my life, but hope springs up.
With such pleasant imaginations, I headed to the class room of the Knights Faculty.
It’s break time, and you can hear students chattering outside the classroom.
Drooling-
“············”.
The students’ eyes are on me.
Now, passing those familiar eyes, I stand at the back door and look around.
where are you
Oh, there it is.
I walked straight to Irene, who was sitting in the middle row of the classroom.
Irene’s eyes widen.
“All, you!”
“Nice to meet you, Irene. May I sit next to you?”
“Well, what is it…?”
“Then let me sit without hesitation.”
I sat down next to Irene.
Likewise, Mina, who was sitting next to Irene, looked at me.
“What happened yesterday? At first glance, I heard that the Braves Faculty was on hiatus.”
“I have some business to deal with.”
“That’s right. Anyway, I’m glad you came today. It’s because you didn’t say anything, Irene, she doesn’t look good all day yesterday… Eup, Eup.”
Irene, whose face turned red, covered Mina’s mouth with her white hand.
“Ah! Stop it, Mina!”
“Hey, I get it. I see~, it’s a good day, but I said something wrong.”
Mina smiled sly.
…why are you doing that? It is said that people’s hearts change a hundred times a day. Irene doesn’t have the [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity] like Theo, so it’s going to look like it’s on the outside.
Irene looked at me again.
“…by the way, are you alone today…?”
It’s kind of a subtle expression.
“Yeah. Did you mean to bring it?”
“No, no, no! Come on, I’m here.
“············”.
That’s not what I want.
I have no one to come with in the first place. Sienna is attached to it.
While thinking like that, Irene opened her axe eyes.
“Why no answer?”
“…I’ll try.”
Because that’s not what I want.
talking like that.
Eventually, it was time for the 2nd class lecture to start.
Drooling-
The front door opens and the professor enters.
Well, the professor of the Knights Faculty that I had seen before.
However, one more person comes in afterward.
“············”.
this is marie jane
Why is that sister here?
The person who goes to the Braves Department who is cool, today has a full setting again.
“This is Professor Marie Jane of the Department of Bravery, who will be giving today’s special lecture. Please welcome everyone with applause.”
─Clap clap clap clap!
applause from students.
So I clapped my hands.
Marie smiles and says hello.
“Hello, Knights Faculty students~, my name is Marie Jane, who is teaching [Introduction to Heroism] in the Braves Department. Have a good day~.”
Then Marie stood in the church and slowly looked around the students.
Then our eyes met.
Marie laughed softly.
“There are familiar faces, so I think I can do well without being nervous. Then I will start a special lecture~.”
*

I was expecting a little bit because it was a special lecture, but nothing special.
‘The Braves Department works like this.’, ‘The Braves Department kids work so hard.’ These were common stories.
“…So, insight and judgment are more important to a warrior than force. In an emergency, the captain’s choice will determine whether many people die or survive. Theo student, who is attending the lecture, excels in that area. “
Marie looked at me and said.
At the same time, the eyes of all the students are focused on me.
‘Oh shit.’
I hate it so much.
I’m used to that kind of gaze, and I’m glad I don’t have to panic because of [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity].
“Student Theo once said in a lecture at the Hero Department, ‘If you have a trusted captain, your team members don’t have to think about anything else. You just have to trust the captain’s judgment and act.’ I felt like this.”
Either way, Marie continued to talk.
aah, please stop…
“…Theo, did you really say that?”
Irene whispered in a low voice.
“············”.
I want to go into a mouse hole.
Instead of answering, I bowed my head.
* * *
It was lunch time.
I headed to the student cafeteria with Irene and Mina.
‘Well, it’s definitely a different menu from the Braves Department.’
When I came here before, I couldn’t wake up because of Siena stuck next to me.
Now I can see clearly and clearly.
I glanced at the menu board, and opened my mouth.
“Irene, which menu is delicious?”
“Ummm, what do you like the most?”
“Of course it’s meat.”
“Hmm, is that so? When I was a kid, I didn’t seem to like meat very much. Anyway, the most popular menus these days are ‘Tonkatsu Set Meal’ and ‘Dongpa Meat (東坡肉)’.
“······· Is it?”
Seriously, I don’t think it’s a game that takes care of details in useless parts.
In this work, the Eastern Empire is a country in which oriental cultures such as Korea, China, and Japan are carefully prepared.
Thinking about it that way, I crave soup.
But the soup is not visible on the menu. I don’t see it two or three times.
Shit, this is a Korean game.
…I can’t help it.
“Give me a pork cutlet set meal.”
“Huh? Theo, did you eat Eastern food as well. You just have regular meat, why?”
“… a spirit of challenge is an essential virtue for a hero.”
Sorry to be rude, Irene.
Actually, I ate a lot before possessing this body.
I took the food that came out and went to the table with Irene and Mina.
scoop, scoop.
I cut the pork cutlet and took a bite.
“·······Hoo.”
Contrary to the pompous appearance, it is quite edible.
You can feel the taste of the mainland to some extent.
Chewing pork cutlet like that, looking at Irene and Mina’s menu.
Irene’s menu is meatball pasta and bread. Mina’s menu is carbonara pasta and bread.
Unlike those sold at restaurants, the dry noodles stand out without any luster. It looks like a school luncheon.
“Yum yum.”
Irene grabbed a meatball and ate it.
But Irene is full of that stuff.
In this work, he is set to be a glutton compared to his size.
Did Irene feel my gaze? Irene asked me with a puzzled look.
“Can I give you some?”
“No, it is.”
I remember Sienna forcing me to feed her.
Ugh… PTSD is coming.
“Ugh, I see.”
Irene started eating again with a pitiful expression on her face.
