Chapter 58-2
The students in the class turned their attention to me because of the sound of the door opening, and among them were Eileen and Jenny.
Eileen stared at me, or rather, my neck, with narrowed eyes.
Jenny looked at Eileen and said, “Hey, you’re gonna pop your eyes out like that.”
“Ah! But look at the band on his neck. It’s hard not to notice it.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Jenny nodded in agreement with Eileen’s words.
I pretended not to have heard their conversation and sat down in the empty seat.
Then I looked at Eileen for a moment and thought deeply.
Hmm. It seems completely impossible for Eileen and Kim Soo-yong to be involved now.
When I think about it, it’s unavoidable.
The reason why these two are involved is none other than because Kane died.
But now, I am Kane.
So, from the moment I survived, the two of them cannot be involved with each other.
Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.
Even if I want to die, I can’t die because of regression.
So, this is something I have to bear.
Well, let’s think about it later.
It’s not like anything has changed right now.
Just for a moment when I had such thoughts.
-Crrrek!
William appeared at the front door as usual, yawning.
“Ahem. Let’s quickly take attendance and let me know the details. Then we’ll finish.”
“””Yes.”””
William explained about the upcoming Royal Academy tournament festival with a face that seemed annoyed to death as he called attendance one by one.
“Well, as you all know, the festival will soon be held at the Royal Academy. So, we will have a competition-like event at the academy. It will be posted in the notice. If anyone wants to apply, come to me.”
With those words, William attached various types of papers to the notice board and quickly left the classroom.
At the same time, all the students rushed towards the notice board.
Meanwhile, unlike the others, I sat in my seat and fell into deep thought. And I had a reason to do so.
Why? Why isn’t there a quest appearing?
Based on my experience so far, there would definitely be a quest at this timing.
However, unexpectedly, no quest appeared.
I went into the quest window just in case.
‘What?!’
Damn. How did this happen? As someone who has experienced the butterfly effect and knows the future, I had confidence that I wouldn’t be surprised easily.
But I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw the phenomenon unfold in front of me. And for good reason.
[Quest Occurrence – Grade Tournament Competition.]
[Explanation: The grade tournament competition, which will be held at the Royal Academy soon, is scheduled to take place. Rewards will be given to the winner.]
[Reward for Winning: 1,000 points.]
Without me realizing, a quest was already in progress with a half-forced condition.
What is this? This has never happened before.
Until now, whenever a quest occurred, a system message would always appear in front of me.
But now, unlike before, there was no system message, and it was already listed as in progress.
…No. Let’s not cling to fixed ideas too much.
As I think about it, the power itself is a power I am not aware of.
Without realizing it, I’ve developed a fixed mindset.
But that’s not the problem.
Honestly, it’s worth considering participating in the grade tournament.
After all, all the top-ranking students participate in the Royal Tournament.
In other words, none of the top-ranking students participated in the grade tournament.
Well, then I must be a candidate for winning.
Not only has my circuit expanded due to the last potion, but all the secretions in my body have been released.
As a result, it is possible to efficiently use magi or mana, and my circuit has clearly become stronger than before.
Anyway, that’s not the important part.
The quest in progress is not just about the grade tournament.
[Quest Occurrence – Cross-dressing Contest.]
[Description: The Royal Academy will soon hold a cross-dressing contest. If you win this contest, you will receive a reward.]
That’s right. A cross-dressing contest. Damn it. Why me?
As I read the quest details, I feel dizzy. No. S*it.
Why does this crazy system make me go through such a trial? What did I do wrong? To you?
Actually, it’s called a cross-dressing contest.
It’s no different from telling me to die of embarrassment.
For a moment, I imagined myself cross-dressing and standing in front of people.
Ugh, damn it, just imagining it makes me feel miserable.
It’s also possible to apply anonymously.
Of course, assuming that William doesn’t spread the rumors.
Anyway, if I do it perfectly.
Assuming that I participate in the cross-dressing contest… I briefly imagined myself perfectly cross-dressing.
Damn it. I can probably win.
In my memory, the cross-dressing contest is mostly for those who apply as a bet among friends and end up with a penalty.
In fact, there are mostly those kinds of people, because the prize for winning the contest is only 100 gold, a trophy, and a ring that looks a little expensive.
Therefore, there are no serious participants, so to speak, it’s just like a penalty contest.
Well, the Royal Academy is also doing it as an event, after all.
Anyway, if I seriously participated in cross-dressing, I would have a good chance of winning.
But… there’s no reason for me to do it. It’s just a quest in progress.
In the end, if I don’t apply to William, it’s all for naught.
While thinking like that, I unconsciously shifted my gaze to the reward.
[Reward: Ability to Change Nature.]
‘Nature change.’
For example, if I release ‘Magi’, it is possible to change the nature of the ‘Magi’ like other abilities.
In other words, it means that I can keep the fact that I have ‘Magi’ a secret from others, including the Anje and priests.
Even though I have confidence in not getting caught in my current state, the original variable still exists.
So, what I want to say is…
From today, I am a woman. Kyaaaahhh!!

Meanwhile, at that moment, someone was watching Kane from afar.
