I Became Strong At Night And Weak At Day Inside A Game

“Haam…” 

I’m sleepy…

I can’t stop yawning since morning. 

Last night, I kept exploring the forest just in case. 

It was not until late at night and late in the morning that I returned to the dormitory carefully.

Thanks to that, I can only sleep for about 4 hours at most— and I can’t even sleep more because I have 1st class.

– But wasn’t the training good enough? I’m satisfied with this body.

Of course, you will be satisfied—.

I had no place to go, so I trained alone in the forest with Deathwise—.

– Don’t train briefly when you normally have time, but schedule your training properly. That’s why you couldn’t handle this body properly for the rest of your life. 

Hmm, it’s troublesome. 

I want to use the demon sword, but I don’t want to risk my life using it properly. 

I wouldn’t even think about graduating if I put all my effort into it. 

– You fell into a different category than Theo.

You’re so mean, even though you can’t do anything alone. 

I will train as much as possible without overdoing it, no matter what. 

There is also the certainty that I can easily solve a lot of problems if I use the demon sword.

The only problem is that Deathwise is useless during the day.

Do you have something to say?

– ….

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, it must have been true.

Anyway, I’m confident that I did the best I could.

So, I’m here with Panini this morning because I worked hard at training all night. 

Thick cheese, juicy bacon, fresh tomato, red onion, and arugula are added between ciabatta, and the sauce is finished with balsamic. 

I yawned so hard that my mouth was wide open when I bit into the Panini.

As I slowly savored the complex and harmonious taste, Choco also slid my lunch box from my shoulder.

“…Are you eating a lobster in the morning?” 

What Choco was holding was a small lobster shell.

I can’t believe there’s lobster in the lunch box for animals prepared by the student cafeteria.

My common sense falters, but—this is how this world was supposed to work.

I shouldn’t expect common sense, that’s right.

Rather, what does lobster taste like?

Let alone lobster, I’ve never even eaten ramen with 0.0006% lobster content. 

Hmm, let’s order lobster at the restaurant next time.

This is really nice.

I can order food that I’ve never eaten before, even in my dreams.

I wonder if I’ll get used to things like Chateaubriand, Beef Wellington, and Truffles?

What is certain is that it is time to say goodbye forever to the time when I filled my stomach with triangle gimbap.

“Ah, it was nice to meet you just in time.”

By the time I had finished Panini, Meryl spoke to me. 

She was wearing a wide-brimmed hat today, and she was holding a textbook in her arms while touching her messy hat with one hand.

She’s always carrying a lot of thick books like that.

I asked, licking balsamic on my fingertips.

“What do you mean just in time, it looks like you have something to say.”

“Ung, I have something to ask you.”

“I was hoping you’d tell me that today is also a break.”

“It’s a normal lecture today, so give up and attend. Do you know where Leon Hilfenberg is?”

“Leon? Well, I can’t guess. Why?”

Meryl let out a sigh. 

“I have a letter to deliver today. It came from the bachelor’s side…I don’t have any overlapping classes today, and my life radius doesn’t even overlap. I don’t want to go there on purpose. I thought you would know because you’re close.” 

“That would be difficult.”

….

……

“Wait, what did you just say?”

“Since the two of you are close, it seemed like you would know if I asked.”

“No, Leon and I are close…?” 

“Isn’t it?”

I can’t believe she asked me that back.

When she asks me question after question, I don’t know what to say.

“Let’s hear it, you did sparring together and did assignments together, right? I thought you were close because I saw you together often.” 

“No, that… It could certainly look that way.”

When I calmly think about it, I can see Leon and I often did this or that.

I can’t help it if Meryl thinks so. 

“Anyway, you don’t know where he is, right?” 

 “Yeah, I can’t guess anywhere.”

“It can’t be helped. I have no choice but to wait in front of the dormitory. I’m sorry for wasting your time.”

“…No, if you’re going to do that, give it to me.”

When I reached out my hand, Meryl tilted her head as if it were unexpected.

“Will you be okay?”

“Come to think of it, I think we’ll meet later.”

“It’s not an appointment, but you think you’ll meet him later…But thank you, I lived thanks to you.”

Meryl smiled and handed out a well-sealed letter.

I accepted the letter for no other reason.

Following Leon after he follows Zeist…it’s weird to say it, but. 

I wanted to keep a little distance and see if Leon acted according to my notes.

Then I will give him his letter too. 

Anyway, the morning lecture is over. 

It is not easy to predict where Leon will be and what he will do.

That’s also true, he’s always helping people, so his range of action is a mess.

Still, the range is limited to the inside of the academy. 

Wherever someone is in trouble, Leon always appears.

On the contrary, if no one is in trouble, Leon will not appear, so it is possible to specify the location. 

Skip all that cumbersome process.

After several trials and errors, I’m following Leon now.

The current location is the main building.

Is there an effect that I wrote on the note to keep a close eye on the main building?

So, if you ask what Leon is doing… Doesn’t a teaching assistant carry half of the papers he was carrying? Doesn’t he himself go into the pond and take out the ring for the student who dropped the ring in the pond, or even take out the students who were arguing? Or even intervened.

…That kid, there is a certain amount of good people.

It’s not even a side quest with a reward; isn’t he helping others too well? 

It’s hard to believe that he can help others only with goodwill, without expecting any reward or payment.

Unmute

However, it is only when there is such a person that this world where common sense is strangely twisted can run without major problems.

Even so, Leon’s circumstances are also circumstances. 

“Even considering all that, it’s respectable.”

“About what?” 

I was surprised at the natural conversation.

It was none other than Ethan who stepped in from the side.

“What are you doing secretly here, friend!”

“You just popped out of nowhere like nothing happened.”

“I just happen to see you as I pass by?” 

“…Then just go. I’m a bit busy right now.” 

Ethan smiled and put his arm around my shoulder.

“Do you mean busy by watching Leon from a distance?”

“….”

“Don’t tell me… Are you trying to get revenge for losing to Leon in the swordsmanship match!”

“When did that happen….” 

No, it hasn’t been that long, unexpectedly.

It hasn’t even been a week, has it?

“No, more than that, you didn’t listen to that lecture. How do you know?”

“A friend who took the same subject told me about it. So, friend, are you going to take revenge? When?”

Ethan shook me with his shoulder.

Ah, I miss the cold, reticent Ethan I know.

“I won’t. It’s troublesome.” 

I replied moderately and turned my gaze to Leon.

But no one was there.

“Argh.” 

“Did he disappear in the meantime?” 

“Damn it, where is Leon again—” 

I quickly looked around.

However, Leon appeared in an unexpected place.

“Do you have any business?”

Just like Ethan, Leon naturally appeared from behind.

The smooth response freaked me out as well as Ethan.

“S, since when…” 

“From the front of the main building. I just guessed that you had a business with me because you were chasing me.” 

It means you knew from the beginning. 

– Your tailing is clumsy, worse than a 3-year-old baby. Do you even have some judgments? 

Shut up, and don’t speak harshly like a famous chef. 

“I think you were talking about how to get revenge.” 

“Oh, you mean that, right? Theo…” 

Ethan was about to say something nonsense, so I reached out and covered his mouth. 

I gave Leon the letter I had put in my pocket with my empty hands.

“The academy said it came to you.”

“What’s the matter, is this?”

“That’s it. They said it had to be delivered within today.”

“Thank you.”

Upon receiving the letter, Leon smiled.

However, that smile hardened when he saw the sender.

“…What letter is it?”

“It’s a letter from the family.”

When asked indirectly, Leon answered casually.

But it’s a letter from the Hilfenberg family.

Leon might feel a little uncomfortable, and if his face is hardened like this, it must be because of that person. 

Anyway with this, I accepted a request that wasn’t actually a request from Meryl.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the contents of the letter, but how Leon will move is more important than that.

“Anyway, I’m here to give you this, what are you going to do now?”

“I have something to do with the main building.”

Leon replied, putting the letter in his arms.

From the fact that he was around the main building earlier, I can tell that he read my note and didn’t just ignore it.

Hmm, it’s as planned.

Now I just have to sneak out.

“Then I will go.”

Just as I was about to say goodbye to Leon, waving my hands moderately.

“Wait.” 

Suddenly, Leon narrowed the distance.

Then he reached out and covered my mouth.

“…What are you doing?”

“There is something I want to check.”

What do you want to check after covering a person’s jaw area with your hands?

As expected, it’s hard to understand—.

…No, cover the jaw area?

That’s what I was doing last night.

It’s a mask, but the design only reveals the eyes, so if you cover your lower face, it’ll look the same. 

Don’t tell me this punk found out it’s me? 

Can a crisis come suddenly like this?

First, let’s step back. 

I just have to be cool and calm and answer whatever questions Leon asks.

I can do it because I have experienced enough crises and hardships in the storms of society.

Don’t underestimate the power of well-trained business facial expression management when dealing with customers who cause trouble. 

“You, yesterday…” 

Leon took the rhyme.

I focused my attention on responding to the following words.

And then, bang!

The surroundings were shattered by an intense vibration and roar.

I, as well as Leon and Ethan, reflexively looked back at the place where the explosion was heard.

It was on the second floor of the main building, on the east side, so it was on the side of the Magic Research Academic Society. 

The explosion shattered the windows all at once, and flames shot up through the broken windows.

The scenery was exactly the same as the cutscenes in Broken World that I remember.

In other words, it meant that the artifact theft case had begun. 

It was quite fast compared to my expectations.

Although the timing was already twisted since I stopped the slab explosion anyway.

Anyway, the case started.

Leon clearly witnessed the incident.

With this, all the necessary conditions are met.

Go! Leon! 

Million volts—no, go clear the main quest!
