“The personnel in the middle guard, in case the vanguard collapses, should constantly maintain tension without letting their guard down and support the core positions of the party according to the situation.”
“For example, if enemies are swarming a teammate in the vanguard, students capable of healing magic should keep a close eye on the front line, and if a horde ignores the vanguard and rushes in, they should support the party’s area magic caster so that their chanting isn’t interrupted.”
“The party is always fluid, and according to the situation…”
Lev Denec.
And the student council president of the Magic Department, Liris.
Aria, who had been hiding and watching the conversation between these two, was confused with many thoughts in her head even though she was in the middle of class.
The first point of confusion was this.
‘Why are the positions of the two reversed?’
Clearly, up until a week ago, Lev Denec was completely in the inferior position.
-Miss Liris! Please don’t abandon me!
-I will do everything you tell me to do, just give me your orders!
-Please, please, damn it! I’ll be a helpful existence in any way…
After being broken in the mock practice with Edwin and getting beaten left and right, he was eventually expelled from the student council.
After that, he started going downhill, confessing to Melissa and Aria.
But Liris came to Lev Denec first, and conversely, she started desperately clinging to him and begging.
It was an appearance that didn’t match her usual demeanor.
That’s not the end of it.
The following bombshell revelation from the student council president.
-I, I…! I’m the one who messed with the selection test…
-Junior, I did it because I hated you so much, you disgusted me. But… it wasn’t you. Rather…
The statement that the demon rag appearing in this test was because of her.
The student council president was the cause of this incident?
If this was true, it would be a major problem that would be dealt with seriously even within the academy.
Moreover,
-A demon? No? You were the high-ranking demon I had been longing for and searching for… Right?
-So save me… Make me a demon…
According to Liris’s additional words, Lev Denec might really be a demon race.
And not just any demon, but a high-ranking one.
It was consistent with Aria’s suspicions and speculations.
However, he maintained a consistently bothersome attitude throughout,
-Sorry, but since we’ve seen all we don’t want to see, let’s go our separate ways now. No need to meet again.
The most shocking thing was that when she was about to go berserk, he even slapped her to calm her down.
-Come to your senses, you.
‘What on earth happened between the two of them?’
It was too confusing.
Aria thought that at times like this, it was important to become even calmer.
What was certain was that Lev Denec had definitely changed greatly, enough for even the student council president Liris, who had become an outstanding student with excellent skills even among 2nd years, to notice.
The fact that he attacked Edwin without reason.
The fact that he took down the rag in one shot during the test.
And the occasional waves of dark magic power felt from him.
Lastly, unlike before when he was nosy about others, his uncaring attitude also showed that he had truly changed.
‘Not Lev Denec, but a different personality.’
Once again, an absurd hypothesis was formed in her mind.
In the end, with this state, it was going in circles.
She vaguely knew that the questions would only keep increasing.
Now the suspicion was sufficient.
For Aria, monitoring him was definitely not a waste of time.
Like that, she waited for the lecture time to end.

“Ugh…”
I groaned softly as I put an asterisk on Chapter 2.
For now, I wrote it down as I remembered it…
It got quite bothersome.
The current point should be considered the beginning of Chapter 2,
and Caeran, the target I must restrain in order to return alive, properly appears in the Academy Grade Match.
And since Edwin gets promoted to B-grade in the Dungeon Investigation Practice part,
it’s natural for the presence of the main characters to be faint at this point.
But Liris, who should slowly start to show interest in Caeran or Edwin, suddenly accelerated towards me.
Fortunately, even though I had to slap her, it seemed like I somehow managed to calm her down.
Perhaps the content got a bit twisted due to my intervention.
But I can’t just sit still either.
The inflation of the demons is much worse than the main characters’ inflation.
If I hadn’t prevented the revival of the Water Dragon in advance, the game might have ended right there.
So while the main characters are growing,
I have to secretly patch things up for them, knowingly or unknowingly.
‘I really need wind archery…’
Additional damage through mental unification with wind archery, the Water Dragon’s Blessing I obtained this time, and enchantment magic, 3x critical hit damage, 3x weak point attack.
Finally, the legendary crossbow weapon, which had very little data in “Reincarnated Hero”.
If you’re a veteran player, you can’t resist this one-punch combination.
It’s a strength that only exists as an ‘if’ that can’t even be completed in the game.
In other words, once I get my hands on it, I’m confident I can win even if Grandpa Ultra-Hell Difficulty comes.

“…Since it’s the first class today, let’s end it here.”
The class ended earlier than I thought.
This was also good news for me.
‘I’ll leave right away.’
As I packed my luggage and got up from my seat,
“Hey, you.”
“?”
A little one was looking up at me right next to me.
Bright brown twin-tailed hair.
“Report to me what you talked about with Selena this morning!”
It was Lily Forget, a non-foundational heroine and a member of Caeran’s harem.
A typical cute character, with a commanding tone as a characteristic.
“This situation feels familiar somehow.”
“What?”
It reminded me of when I fell here and confessed to Aria…
“No. I’m busy, so ask Selena directly. Then, take care.”
“No, where are you going! I’m asking you! What did you do in the test too? That’s why Selena is distracted like that!”
Ah, during the selection test, she was also on Selena’s team.
But now is not the time to get involved with her.
Because there will come a day when I’ll get involved with her even if I don’t want to.
Hmm, what was it?
Something she hates.
“Shorty.”
“What? I’m not a shorty!!”
“Little kid.”
“I’m not a little kid either!!!!”
Usually, when you tease these little characters by calling them shorty, they throw a fit.
It has a cute charm, but today I’m really busy.
“Hurry up and tell me!!!”
Even though I steadily built up villain points, she wouldn’t let me go.
“I said I’m busy. Get out of the way.”
“I won’t move, even if I die, unless you tell me what you did to Selena!”
She was single-minded.
To think she was this sincere towards Selena,
but she falls head over heels for Caeran and ignores all her advice, and ends up regretting it.
Why are there so many tsunderes in this game…
Unfortunately, my situation isn’t favorable enough to care for even this kind of character.
I had no choice but to chant the magic spell.
“Do you like me?”
.
.
.
As always, the confession attack is a powerful spell on par with high-level magic.
Whether innocent or stupid… when Lily heard those words, she was at a loss for words,
and after stammering,
she looked around once,
and suddenly her face turned red,
and she started crying and sobbing.
The villain passive, maybe it’s worth investing in.
Even though we’re the same age according to the setting, I felt guilty as if I had made a child cry.
“……”
In the end, I left only a handkerchief in front of her and headed to where the circulation train was.
Tomorrow’s schedule is packed with classes, so today is the only time I have.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Aria, with her graceful appearance, was already receiving a lot of attention despite it being a new semester.
-What are you doing after class? Want to go to the cafeteria together?
-What classes are you going to sign up for? Let me know.
Of course, such initial interest in school life was too grateful for her, who had lived modestly and considerately,
but Aria had something else to prioritize.
Lev Denec.
As if blatantly showing that he had somewhere to go, he was about to leave his seat with a heavy backpack.
‘He’s probably thinking of using dark magic again.’
Surveillance magic had its limits.
To secure clear evidence, she had to follow him after all.
Follow him as secretly as possible, and if she gets caught, ask him directly and suggest accompanying him.
If he refuses to accompany her…
She’ll tell him she’ll report what he talked about with Liris to the academy.
The moment she made up her mind, Aria felt a tingling emotion.
In fact, she was afraid.
Before she knew it, her suspicion of him had turned into fear.
Perhaps he might be a demon race after all,
and judging from his attitude towards Liris, he might belong to a very strong group.
But Aria’s grudge was stronger than that.
Her desire for revenge for her family was forcing her feet to move, even forcibly.
‘I can’t miss this opportunity…’
She quickened her pace.
If Melissa found out about this, she would probably scold her terribly.
But if there was even the slightest chance, she couldn’t involve her.
Melissa was a duke’s daughter, and unlike Aria herself, many people were connected to her.
Perhaps because Aria’s feelings reached,
‘!!’
On the platform waiting for the circulation train, she easily found Lev Denec.
‘This time for sure…!’
Aria’s resolve was more noble than ever.

[i wonder at what point do i start sounding crazy?]
Sounds very corruptable
Mr. Translator, are you alright? Is that a note when you rush the translation so there will be a lot of paid chapters? Either way if you’re really feel like going crazy, maybe it’s better to rest a little, listen to music, eat something good or sweet, sleep adequately, playing games you enjoy to distract yourself, or let your desire/ambition flow a little bit (make sure it’s not disturb yourself your principles or others heavily).
You could also do a box breathing to calm yourself in the short time, it’s always effective for me at least. Box breathing is when you breath for four seconds, hold it for four seconds, exhale it for four seconds, hold it for four seconds, and then back to breath again for four seconds. Usually, at least for me, you will only need 1 cycle of box breathing to feel calm already if your problem is not that hard to face against.
