Thanks to her, she attracted the attention of all the students in the academy. Some of them were surprised by Alicia’s behavior. . . and some of them recognized Oswald’s face and were shocked. . . . . . .

I stood out too much from the first day. This plan to attend the academy quietly had been completely messed up from the very beginning.

‘𝘜𝘨𝘩. . . . . . .’

And on top of that, I’ve attracted the attention of someone I didn’t want to see!

He looked at me with a look of disbelief. After all, it was an event and incident that had never happened before the regression.

‘𝘞𝘰𝘸, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘢𝘻𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦.’

For our protagonist, Gilgamesh, Alicia was an object of affection and resentment. 「In the Final Chapter」, there were many relationships of affection and resentment when playing as Gilgamesh, and one of them was Alicia.

Before the regression, Gilgamesh had developed a relationship with her that was like a lover but not a lover, but she was killed by the bloodthirsty Bahamun. Because of that, another heroine ended up becoming his lover.

Under the gaze of the protagonist Gilgamesh, they soon arrived at the white tower. On the first floor of the white tower, there was a window for various administrative tasks, where Oswald simply filled out and submitted a readmission application.

“Student Oswald?”

“Do you have time for an interview with the Headmaster?”

At those words, Oswald looked at Alicia, who was next to him.

“Hmm. . . . . . . I’ll wait downstairs.”

“You don’t have to. . . . . . .”

“No, I have something I need to tell you.”

“ . . . . . . . ”

Looking at her with a tired face, Oswald boarded the elevator that was going up. The elevator was a magitechnological device, also known as magicpunk, that combined a steam engine and magic.

Ding!

“Welcome, Student Oswald. The Headmaster is waiting for you inside. What would you like to drink?”

“I’ll have some coffee.”

“Yes.”

Oswald entered the headmaster’s office, watching the secretary who led him in with a smile.

“Yes, was there anything inconvenient during your stay?”

“Well, there were many things that were inconvenient. . . but I guess it’s something I have to endure.”

“Hahahaha, yes. First of all, I’ve heard from the Order. I never imagined that. . . you would challenge that ritual.”

“It was a life that I had already discarded anyway.”

“Anyway, I hope you will do well during your time at the academy. But more than that. . . it’s amazing that you’re alive after receiving such procedures.”

“Yes?”

“Hahahaha, you don’t even know what procedures you received?”

“ . . . . . . . ”

Gestalt said with a meaningful smile that he had put them in as good things. . . . . . .

‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘶𝘺 𝘥𝘰?’

“Anyway, it’s promising. With that kind of ability, you’ll be able to do it even if you don’t have any magical power.”

“Do you know what was transplanted into me, Headmaster?”

“Do you want to know?”

“It would be more helpful if I knew.”

“First of all, drake skin was transplanted into your skin. It won’t provide as much defense as a legendary dragon, but it will provide enough. It won’t be visible from the outside. . . but when you’re attacked, drake skin will appear on the part that was hit.”

“Ah. . . . . . . ”

“And your eyes are the same, the eyes of a drake have been transplanted. The magic circle is engraved on the pupils themselves to disguise them, so there should be no external discomfort.”

‘𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘶𝘱.’

It also seemed certain that it would affect the agility level. This was because agility also had the function of increasing dynamic vision.

“And I’ll be watching your back from time to time. So don’t make any big mistakes.”

“Yes, I will be in your care.”

“Yes, I’ll let you go now.”

As he left the headmaster behind and went downstairs, Alicia stood up as if she had been waiting.

“There are no more appointments, are there?”

“ . . . . . . . ”

The place she led him to was. . . . . . .

“Vanguard?”

It was in front of the Vanguard building.

“I’m a Vanguard member now.”

“No way. . . . . . . ”

“Whatever you’re thinking. . . come in first.”

“ . . . . . . . ”

In the end, he followed her into the building. As he passed by, some of the Vanguard members recognized him and frowned. . . but Oswald didn’t care.

He followed the corridor and arrived at Vanguard Room 2.

‘𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘮 2?’

The Vanguard is ranked according to the sub-room number, and the authority that can be exercised and the number of investigators that can be accommodated increase.

As he entered Room 2, those who greeted her. . . but they frowned when they saw Oswald, who had followed her in. Of all the people, they were students in the same class. . . Among them was someone who had a bad relationship with Oswald.

‘𝘛𝘢𝘺𝘭𝘰𝘳. . . . . . .’

Born into an ordinary civilian family, Taylor was recognized for his talent in spirits and entered the academy as a scholarship student. In the process, he became the target of Oswald’s malicious bullying. In a word, he is someone who can’t be good with Oswald.

Alicia shouldn’t be unaware of that. Why is she trying to drag him into a place where he is?

‘𝘈𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦.’

Thinking so, Oswald quickly glanced at the investigators inside. Except for Taylor, they were all close to Cadet Alicia.

They were not all people with great influence.

Then Taylor got up from his seat and asked Alicia in a sharp tone why Oswald was there.

“As I said before. . . I told you I would hire an investigator who knows about them.”

“You didn’t say it was Oswald. Have you forgotten what Oswald did to me?”

“No, I haven’t forgotten. But it’s hard to get into that place without Oswald’s help.”

“In that case, I can’t work with Oswald. I quit.”

“What?”

She looked flustered at his words.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of getting involved in pointless mischief.”

“Pointless? You’re still the same.”

“I think I’ve seen enough. . . I’ll be going now.”

“Oswald!”

Alicia called out to him, but Oswald ignored her. To put it bluntly, it was related to the 3rd Prince episode. 

‘𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 3𝘳𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺, 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.’

The 3rd Prince is a villain, but the part related to the devil will be revealed directly in the episode related to the succession to the throne later, so if I come out now, I will only suffer losses.

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.’

When I left the Vanguard building.

“Ha! It looks like you haven’t changed a bit, coming to the Vanguard as soon as you arrive?”

“ . . . . . . . ”

Today is a day of bad luck.
