The Only Male Student in the Academy

002. Duchess’ Folly (1)

Being possessed by a game after dying is a common cliché.

I, too, once aspired to become a cartoonist. I often imagined bumping into a truck bound for another world and had delusions of being possessed by a work.

Therefore, it can be said that I have been prepared for this kind of situation.

No, I was determined….

“It’s filthy… Why do I have to guide a man…”

There is a female student grumbling right in front of her.

“Why did the man come in?”

“Shh. You’re the duke. You’d better keep your voice down.”

“Aren’t you angry? I don’t understand.”

“Hold on~. Let’s go play together after this is over, huh?”

“…….”

I hear everything. I let out a small sigh.

No matter how you think about it, this must be the world of the Unknown Saga.

Is it because I played games for 1532 hours in my previous life? When she came to her senses, she became ‘Ariel’, one of the characters in Unknown Saga.

So far, so good…. Ariel is an extra among extras… , Isn’t the trend these days to be possessed by extras or third-rate villains?

But why are the two female students who are leading me to the dormitory walking hand in hand?

“…I have arrived, Ariel Beheritt. You are the second son of that noble duchy, but you know that senior-junior relationships take precedence here, right?”

As soon as I came to the door, one of the female students said that with a cold expression.

“For a man to come to Philea Academy, which has been a female academy for generations… What does the principal really think…”

“…….”

“A long-term exchange student from Beltark Academy, the second son of a ducal family, the only male student at the academy… I heard that the previous academy committed an injury case and was even suspended? His career is too glamorous. Thanks to you, our student council I decided to treat you as special.”

“You’ve done a lot of work.”

When she answered that, the woman’s expression distorted…. If you openly make me feel bad, I think my heart will break.

“Your dormitory is here. The last floor on the first floor. I sent the students from the first floor specially for you to the upper floor.”

“…That’s a really good job.”

“You think so? I know you’re coming to the first floor, and everyone asked me to go upstairs? So you didn’t put much effort into it?”

“Is that so…”

“Just go up to the second floor….If you want to be expelled, you can come up.”

After saying that, she chinned. It is a sign to enter the room.

She had no reason to refuse. I went right inside.

As soon as I closed the door, I heard the voices of female students from across the street.

“I felt really bad… Can I somehow expel him?”

“Come on, let’s relax, honey. Huh?”

“…If you kiss me, I think it will go away.”

“Anyway~. My self is a fool.”

“It will turn, really…”

I went inside quickly. I couldn’t hear the female students’ voices until I reached the bedroom.

“……What the hell is this place?”

I asked into the air. Of course, there is no way the answer will come back.

Of course. Because I know the answer right from the start. I was just taking my eyes off the truth as an escape from reality.

This is the world in the game Unknown Saga.

To be precise, it is the world in the Unknown Saga fanfic manga that I drew.

It must be the world of lily comics.

“Im sick…”

Inadvertently, profanity flows from my mouth.

I thought I would be qualified to go to heaven.

In my 28 years of life, I have never done anything really bad. It’s just that, because he gave up his studies, he was lacking as a member of society.

He must have been a good person who didn’t drink, smoke, or women.

But where is this place? Who am I?

“…Calm down. Let’s sort things out one by one.”

First of all…… I feel like I came here to die.

There are too many corners for guessers.

I often ate ramen noodles, and I often starved, but I didn’t exercise properly, and I was suffering from several diseases that modern people suffer from, such as reflux esophagitis and dry eye syndrome.

Come to think of it, I didn’t sleep well. I had an irregular life because of games and paintings.

The last time I looked in the mirror, I doubted if this was really a living human being.

Perhaps I was suffering from an illness I didn’t know about.

Looking back, I didn’t care too much about my body. As I always lived under pressure, the memory of the hospital bills being a waste came to my mind.

In that state, I even had a nosebleed. I ignored it as nothing special, but in fact, I wonder if it was a serious illness.

I thought 28 was young, but….

Did I show off my youth too much? I thought I wouldn’t get a disease that would kill me in my 20s.

… What is unavoidable

After this happened, I felt strangely relieved. Maybe it’s because he has a body that won’t be strange even if he dies. He himself was strangely convinced of his own death.

“Then, is this rather a blessing? A chance to live a second life instead of a buggy first life…”

But I can’t be purely happy….

Who would want to be the only male student in an all-girls school? Even male middle school students with shallow knowledge of s*x would not think that way.

My mental age was 28 to enter an all-girls school with dreams of a harem. We know very well, based on experience, how much women will treat men like filth.

Moreover, this is a worldview based on lily manga. A man intervening between a woman’s coupling is considered a taboo in the lily genre.

In other words, being a man is no different from a foreign substance in the lily worldview, and I am that foreign substance.

“Eva, really… It’s more suffocating than the military.”

But the military was with boys, so there was something that worked. Here, I’m going to live with my breath.

No, but.

“…Ariel, why is he a man?”

A sudden question. It’s strange when you think about it.

Ariel Beheritt.

This is also one of the characters in Unknown Saga. However, in the yard where all the students of Philea Academy became female students, only this one maintains the original setting.

… Why?

“There’s one part I’m guessing, but…”

Because Ariel is a supporting character who dies during the tutorial stage.

Other than that, there was no other way to explain the current phenomenon.

“Ariel Beheritt…. A long-term exchange student from Beltark Academy, the second son of Duke Beheritt’s family. Originally, he would have been a sophomore, but he was suspended due to an injury incident, and after an accident he was forced to attend Philea Academy. Coming…And dying during the placement test.”

Class placement test. Literally, it is a test to assign classes for freshmen, and is given the day after the entrance ceremony.

In other words, tomorrow.

“The class assignment test is conducted in groups of two, and the main character, Lucius, is placed in the same group as Ariel…”

During the class placement test, Lucius awakens to the power of a hero. And there were two reasons for awakening to the power of the warrior, and one of them was Ariel’s death.

The setting of having an accident and transferring, the setting of being a class student, the setting of being a duke, etc…. He looks like a person with something because he embraces various settings… , In fact, they are all fakes.

The production team’s directing to give Ariel a twist by killing her. Ariel is the first victim of the malice of the production crew who love Yoo-yeol.

“I see. Is that why only this guy is a man…”

Since she died from the prologue stage, Ariel has no influence in the subsequent story. Lucius also completely forgets about Ariel and lives his own life.

Since he’s such a person, I think he’s probably a male character.

To begin with, this guy wasn’t from Philea Academy. He was an exchange student from Beltark Academy….

They come from different academies, die at the tutorial stage, have no weight in the story, and don’t even have a coupling with someone.

That’s why Ariel kept her original setting, so I wonder if she became the only male character.

“I can’t help but like it…”

I have no complaints about being reincarnated as a man. To be honest, I think there are a lot of uncomfortable things about a woman’s body….

So, I don’t have any complaints about gender, but if she’s a boy because she has the fate of death, she’d rather be a cute high school girl. Hawah….

“Actually, the contents are flowing according to the original story…”

During her entrance ceremony, Tia came out and gave a speech representing freshmen. It follows the same progression as the original game.

Of course, in the lily manga I drew, there is not a single scene like the entrance ceremony.

Somehow, the parts I didn’t express in the comics should be seen as following the flow of the original work.

Then, the class assignment test will be held tomorrow as in the original story.

Then, as in the original work, Ariel is put in the same group as Lucius.

Then, as in the original work, Ariel will die tomorrow.

“Ha…”

He sighed.

It’s shocking that I entered the world of Lily, and it’s shocking that I’m the only male student at the girls’ academy, but I’m going to die tomorrow?

… Tsk. Tongue involuntarily

But her head is strangely cold.

“First of all… I can’t miss tomorrow’s class assignment test.”

Falling out because of feigning illness, or harming yourself to the extent that you won’t die…. It’s easy to miss the placement test.

If you just run away from the placement test, you will be able to survive. My experience of playing Unknown Saga for 1532 hours was telling me that.

But if that happens, I can’t control what happens after that.

“Lucius gains the strength of a warrior after seeing Ariel die.”

Conversely, if Ariel’s death disappears, there is a possibility that Lucius will not be able to gain the power of a hero.

The final boss of Unknown Saga is the Demon King.

In the final battle, the demon king is trying to destroy mankind, and the original story is that Lucius, who has awakened as a hero, stops the demon king.

But if Lucius doesn’t get the hero’s power… ? …… I can’t afford it.

“…So, first principle, follow the flow of the original.”

If I participate in the placement test, I will die. However, if you fail the placement test, mankind will perish after a few years…. In the end, either way, it’s the same that I’m in crisis.

Then, you have no choice but to choose the one with a higher survival rate, but following the original content as it is has a much higher survival rate.

The last boss, the Demon King… It’s strong enough to be unstoppable. He is so ignorant that if he doesn’t train the party properly, it’s impossible to clear it at all.

At that level, I can’t afford to keep the demon king alive. So it was good for me to proceed with the original content as it is.

“But if I proceed according to the original story… I must die.”

Who in the world wants to die?

I don’t want to die either.

“So the second rule is… That I survive.”

I keep my life while following the original work. There is no other way.

I looked at my watch. There are about 15 hours left before the class placement test begins.

Change my destiny with these 15 hours.

I must survive.

Definitely.
