Avoid Yandere Constellation

[Prevent Terrorism! Quest Cleared.]

[Defeated the quest boss, Ashard.]

[As a reward, you will receive 2,500 points and an additional reward, ‘Magi’.]

[Ongoing Quest – Completed Death Avoidance.]

[As a reward, you will receive 500 points.]

(T/L: Maybe It’s Demonic magic.)

Before my eyes, a dizzying amount of reward messages appeared.

In my status window, I see that I have received 3,000 points and Magi has been added to my talents.

I never expected that to be the reward.

Honestly, I thought they might give me some additional points at best, but I never imagined they would give me ‘Magi’.

Should I check it out?

I close my eyes and concentrate on feeling the power inside my body.

There was magic power that seemed to be equivalent to the amount in a bathtub, a small amount of rice grain-sized ore, and a thick magi that was overwhelmingly greater in quantity than the other two.

It seems like Ashard just gave me the magi he had.

It’s certainly a good thing.

I thought it would be useless to receive magi if it was only about the size of rice grains, but the system seems to have given me additional rewards generously because of my good nature.

Well, it’s impossible for me to use it like Ashard, since my magic circuit is narrow, but I have a separate method in mind.

And the real problem isn’t this.

If I use that in front of people, they might mistake me for a demon and hit me with a staff.

Not only that, but if the Anje finds out she was deceived, she could kill me with a cold look.

Hmm, I can’t hide with the effects’ quality, can I?

The power is limited to adjusting the strength externally.

Even if I can adjust the magic to be weaker, if someone witnesses it, I’ll be caught.

Yeah, the effect quality won’t work. I need another plan… Oh!

At that moment, a single thought flashed through my mind, like a light bulb over my head.

This could work. Instead of hiding it, I can just deceive them.

No one will think it’s magi, whether it’s the Constellation or Anje.

Of course, it only changes the external appearance, but that’s okay.

Since no one will notice anyway.

In short, I can change any power to look convincing.

So even if I use magi, I can change it to look like a divinity, aura, mana, or qi.

Of course, it’s only an external change, but that’s okay.

Since no one will notice anyway.

If I only changed the color, it might raise suspicion since the nature of the magi won’t change.

But if I use the effect quality, there will be no chance of suspicion.

For example, if I change the magic to aura through color and maximize the effect quality, the unique sharp and rough energy of magi won’t be noticed.

Looks like, I don’t have to worry about it.

Okay, let’s buy the color setting ability.

I press the color settings in front of me with excitement.

[To unlock the color setting, 1,750 points will be consumed. Would you like to purchase?]

A system message appears.

I pressed the purchase button without hesitation.

As a result, the points displayed in the status window decreased from 3,250 to 1,500.

Although I wanted to test my magi and color setting abilities right away, I felt like a wicked demon would soon die.

Therefore, it was necessary for me to head to where my clone was as soon as possible.

I used my presence block ability and started to walk.

***

I sneaked in unnoticed by the students and gestured to my clone to come out.

My clone made eye contact with me, nodded, and stood up.

“Hey, Kane, why are you suddenly getting up?” Jenny asked.

“I need to go to the bathroom, duh.”

“Oh, okay.”

Jenny nodded in understanding at my clone’s answer.

“Even if you’re in pain, you still have to go to the bathroom. Do you know where it is?”

“Yeah, I know. You don’t have to follow me.”

“Yeah, don’t fall on your way there. I don’t want to get scolded by Eileen.”

My clone nodded at Jenny’s warning and headed towards the bathroom, or more precisely, where I was.

“You seem to be doing well. Did you have a successful final blow?” Clone asked.

“Yeah. Anyway, thanks for your hard work.”

My clone only nodded and didn’t say anything in response to my words, or ask about the additional reward that he might be curious about because he knew about my surveillance (Constellation).

As expected of my clone, he was quick-witted.

I put my clone in the Dimensional ring and returned to Jenny naturally.

“Huh? What? Why are you suddenly looking so fine?”

I had prepared an excuse in advance.

I pointed to the Holy Cross and said, “It’s because of the Holy Cross.”

“I recovered using this. You saw me use it when I had ‘Duel’ last time, remember?”

“Oh… now that you mention it, I do remember. Well, I guess I can see why you used it now.”

Jenny nodded her head in understanding at my explanation as we chatted for a moment. In the meantime, Eileen and Skaya approached us with refreshed faces, seemingly relieved of their stress.

“What happened? Why are you looking so well now, Kane?”

“Um… let me explain.”

I explained to them exactly what I had told Jenny earlier.

“Now that you mention it, I remember that. I was worried for no reason.”

“–I had forgotten about it too. Why was I worried about him?”

…… What is it? Why does it feel like a toy is being given and taken away?

.

.

.

I don’t know why, but I felt a bit annoyed. But judging from what they said, they really were worried about me.

Shouldn’t I be feeling happy about this?

[Goddess of Destiny says she was genuinely worried about you!]

No. She was watching me the whole time, not my Clone. Why are you lying when it’s obvious that I’ll find out?

For a moment, I was astonished at the audacity of the Constellation. Then Lucy yelled in a loud voice that didn’t suit her body

“Professor! The warp gate is working!”

With that, all the students cheered, sighing in relief that it was over.

And so the first main episode was completely over…
