I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Forever 17, Alice Schiller

“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

I muttered as I climbed the low hill.

I heard a letter from Count Wallenstein today, so I saw that Count Ansberg’s funeral would be held.

And we have to attend the funeral as a courtesy.

‘It should make sense.’

It’s good that I haven’t seen Felice lately, so why am I going there?

When I think of her who was angry with me for trying to catch a gargoyle…

‘Oh, I’m mad again.’

In the end, she didn’t believe me until the gargoyle raid actually happened.

It seems that he only came to my dorm and tried to apologize.

Well, it’s already late.

I’ve already decided not to care about her.

It’s a funeral. Father alone is enough.

“Whoops, whoops… ”

I started out of breath.

What I was climbing now was a hill in the corner of the academy.

Some say it’s a mountain.

Anyway, there are several buildings.

It is a huge academy with several canteens and even a post office.

There was even a forest within the academy and a small hill in the middle.

It is also a huge academy.

And in a small cave at the top of this hill, a legendary cadet lives.

—

“Master, can I tell you a scary story?”

“yes? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“No, it’s a hot day, but I’m going to tell you a story that makes the back of your neck feel cold.”

“… Disciple, it’s midwinter now, isn’t it?”

“Anyway.”

I started talking.

“In this Helon Academy 2nd year Class A… There is student number 13, which does not exist.”

He speaks with a gloomy voice.

“I heard that he was a student who entered the school ten years ago… ”

A gulp and swallowing sound is heard.

“It is said that her lifelong wish was to graduate from this Helon Academy. However, due to an accident, the goal cannot be achieved… ”

“… … ”

“Eventually, she becomes the academy’s mastermind, showing up every rainy Friday the 13th to take the students… ”

“… Disciple.”

“Yes?”

“Is that, by any chance, about me?”

“Ah, misunderstanding… ”

Whoops, whoops!

“Oh, it hurts!”

“Is this, teasing the teacher to say that he came after no nosebleeds for over a week!”

Slightly small body, worn-out academy cadet uniform.

Cat ears sticking up on top of her head, and a tail protruding from the back of her skirt.

It is a gift that appears as an event in the game, and my teacher.

Suin the cat, Alice Schiller.

The cat punch she threw at me was quite painful.

“Now, wait a minute!”

To divert her attention, I hurriedly showed her some food from the academy canteen.

“huh! Are you trying to buy me food! You’re going to insult me… yum yum… ”

It was too delicious to be scolded for.

Soon, her cat punch stopped, and the food I brought with me quickly disappeared into her mouth.

“Mum mum… yum yum… ”

I looked at her with a bit of pity.

Until I came, she was hiding here in a cave in the hills.

It is said that they ate rats and birds, or dug up and ate wild snake roots.

In the game, you have to search for her several times and ask her to accept you as a disciple.

This is a world where games have become reality.

At the time of our first meeting, I happened to see her eating, and I immediately bought a lot of food from the store.

Immediately I was able to become her disciple.

I looked at her with a bit of a strange look as she stuffed the food into her mouth.

‘You look younger than me… ‘

Alice Shiller, after some kind of accident decades ago, entered the Imperial Academy as a castle of refuge.

The beastmen were frantic to catch her, but this was the Imperial Academy.

It is impossible to arbitrarily send someone to arrest an academy cadet.

Of course, they asked the imperial family or the president directly.

Neither side would tolerate touching the current academy cadets.

Hey, Helon Academy is the pride of the empire.

Touching the Academy’s cadets arbitrarily had something to do with the prestige of the Empire.

In the end, the prisoners gave up and decided to wait.

Alice is away from the academy during vacation.

Or, after graduating, they will eventually be caught.

After such calculations, the method she chose was ‘paid’.

For more than a decade, she has remained a permanent sophomore in everyone’s mind.

… Of course, the same goes for academics.

She has been repeating paid pay for ten years.

When the dormitory became unavailable, she hid into the forest within the academy.

A small hill in the middle of the forest, a small cave at the top.

It was Master’s new dormitory.

In her words, it was like climbing a mountain for training.

Oh.

In this game, the beasts are set to live in a country far to the east of the empire.

East means, after all, Moorim.

It’s insanely bizarre, but it doesn’t make sense at all.

Master, who has already finished eating, pricks his ears when he sees my pitying eyes.

“What? What a bad look in your eyes, my disciple.”

“It’s about the mood.”

“Well, anyway. It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so I’ll have to check that my skills aren’t rusted first. Come on, let’s spread the footwork!”

she tells me sternly

For reference, the one that I used usefully when following Leo was the walking technique I learned from Master.

Blowing mana into my legs, I exclaimed.

“Amyoung Shinbo Form 1, Shadow Walk!”

damn it!

“I told you not to give imperial names to herbivores, my disciple!”

I grabbed my aching head and spread my footwork in front of her.

Her expression changes to delight.

“Well, it’s not bad. You can move on to the next step.”

She tells me what she always tells me.

“As others say, if you master this step to the end, you will be able to hide yourself from any formidable enemy.”

“Is that true?”

“okay. Right in front of you, roughly 0.1 second… ?”

“Useless… ”

damn it!

Like a cat, it has good ears.

I muttered really little…

“This is done. Why did you come only now? Isn’t it too late?”

“Ah, that… ”

I told her everything that had happened in the past few days.

From subjugating the gargoyles, banishing the party, to winning the duel.

Because she also told me her secret.

I can’t say I fell into the game, but the other stories were the only thing I had to share with her.

After hearing all of my stories, she said it as if it were cool.

“Ahh! I’d rather be good! In the first place, I didn’t understand why you were helping them!”

she is smiling

I also laughed a little awkwardly.

Hey, it is the salvation of the heroines, so prepare for the resurrection of the demon king.

Because we couldn’t talk about the future like that.

Because she left out that fact, she always felt frustrated with me.

But now there’s no such thing.

Her expression also looks cooler than ever.

“But, what are you going to do with the party activities in the future… That is a concern.”

Although I say

“Ahhhhh! On the contrary, it was banished! In a duel, I’m going to have a good time! Ahhhh!”

She was so cool that she couldn’t stop laughing.

After a while.

After receiving training from her today, my body was drenched in sweat.

I said goodbye to her

“Ah, Master. It’s vacation soon, so I can’t come here during that time.”

“What! My, disciple!”

she urgently calls me

For some reason, he hesitated for a while, considering that he called in urgently.

“My disciple… I’d rather practice closed-gwan training with Master Lee in a cave during vacation… ”

“Goodbye!”

“Ah!”

Leaving behind her earnest cry, I quickly descended the hill.

—

“A petty bastard… ”

Alice murmurs.

Of course, it was the story of his disciple.

The idea of doing closed-gwan training together in the cave was something he himself had the courage to suggest…

I never thought I would run away without looking back like that.

“huh!”

Anyway, she remembered what she heard today.

For some reason, the disciple treated his party members well for no reason.

She always complained about it.

Not to mention, the actions of the party members hearing from Louis made me tremble.

At last, the disciples came to their senses and felt like they had abandoned them.

It was Alice who was worried that the disciple might accept them again.

In addition, I heard him worrying about not knowing how to conduct party activities.

After all, party activities would be difficult if you were alone…

She made a decision for her disciple.

By the way, he is a sophomore, and his student is now a sophomore.

If this much time has passed, perhaps the pursuit of him has stopped.

Yes, in ten years, even rivers and mountains change.

If he joins the party, the student will be thrilled, right?

“Fufu, the disciple must be very surprised.”

Finally, it was Alice who had finished her training and decided to descend.

Although it was a mountain, no, the hill was a little too low for a descent.

—

“No, really?”

I wasn’t crazy.

Is the original Gaju seat such a vacant place?

Seriously, I doubt it.

I’ve replied several times saying I’m not going to the funeral.

Finally, Count Wallenstein came to pick me up.

Yes, right here to the academy.
