Avoid Yandere Constellation

We arrived at our destination and, under the control of the student council, entered the warp gate in the auditorium.

-Whoosh!

Just like the warp gate in David’s Estate, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

It was all forest.

The view from the window was like being in a jungle, with trees everywhere, and the floor was made of dirt, not concrete.

“Hey, Kane, Eileen, don’t you think there’s something installed between those trees over there?”

Jenny pointed to a spot, and we all turned to look.

Sure enough, there was a tiny crystal ball, no bigger than a fingernail, installed between the trees.

How did she spot something so small so quickly?

I already knew about it, so it wasn’t surprising to me, but I was impressed by Jenny’s ability to spot the surveillance crystal ball without any information.

I knew that Jenny was also a top student, but her skills seemed even better than I thought.

“It looks like it’s installed to prevent accidents.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Eileen nodded in agreement with my words.

I wondered when the evaluation would start.

As I was thinking this, William called out to the A-class students from the warp gate.

“Hmm, A-class, gather over here.”

At his words, we approached William.

We were the first to arrive, as there were no other A-class students.

Five minutes passed, and two more groups joined us, but no one else came.

What? Is this it?

William, as if reading my mind, scratched his ear and said,

“Okay, everyone’s here.”

“Huh? Is this it?”

Jenny asked, surprised, and William nodded.

“Yes, these are all the A-class students who applied for the first evaluation. Anyway, before I explain the evaluation rules, everyone should put on these bracelets.”

William took out bracelets with complex-looking spells from his spatial ring and handed them to us. Then he continued,

“These bracelets contain transfer spells, advanced healing spells, and point accumulation spells.”

“If you use these to hunt monsters in the forest, you’ll earn points. After three hours, the points will be added up for all three of you, and that will be your evaluation score. Are there any more questions?”

“Yes! Yes, me!”

Jenny raised her hand with her usual lively smile.

“Go ahead and ask.”

“Yes, I have two questions. First, where is the transfer spell set to?”

“The transfer spell is set to the building we’re currently in.”

“Oh… So is this place safe?”

Well, it’s not surprising that Jenny is worried, considering that there’s a building in the middle of the forest.

After all, there’s no guarantee that monsters won’t attack if they see the building.

Of course, this is only true if the building is alone.

“Don’t worry, I’ve set up a barrier to keep monsters away from the building.”

“Ah! So it’s safe! And I have another question. What level are the monsters around here?”

“I know what you’re worried about, but the most you’ll find are low-level monsters. So, don’t worry.”

“Yes, that’s definitely reassuring. If we get beaten by low-level monsters, it would be embarrassing.”

Jenny was right; it would be embarrassing to be defeated by low-level monsters.

Typically, low-level monsters are just goblins, slimes, and skeletons, which are considered weak in fantasy manga.

Of course, these monsters might be challenging for ordinary people, but for students from the prestigious academies of the Leiston Continent, fighting them is like swatting flies.

“Okay, if there are no more questions, I’ll assume that’s it. The evaluation will start in ten minutes. From now on, do your best.”

With that, William sat down on a nearby chair and closed his eyes without hesitation.

Wow, he’s going to take a nap right here.

.

.

.

Ten minutes passed, and the evaluation began.

As soon as it started, we left the barrier without hesitation.

“Eileen, should we use the detection spell right away?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure. I feel like it would be a waste to use it right now.”

“Yes, that’s true.”

Eileen nodded in agreement with Jenny’s words.

To be honest, the monsters in the forest might be wandering around freely now, but soon, they’ll be scared and hiding due to the presence of the Royal Academy students.

So, it would be a waste to use the detection spell right now.

However, this only applies to the detection spell.

“Don’t worry, I have a spell that can find monsters without using any power.”

“Huh? Do you have such a spell?”

“Yes, Kane, is that true?”

“Yes, wait a moment, and I’ll find one for you.”

So, without hesitation, I turned up the volume to about 70-80.

-Rustle!

I heard the sound of something moving through the lush foliage about 50 meters to the left. I turned down the volume to its original level and turned my head in that direction.

“I found it. It’s over there.”

The two of them looked at me with puzzled expressions and followed me.

Soon, we saw a monster, about the size of a middle school student, with a green body, wandering around.

It was a goblin, a common monster in fantasy settings.

The two of them were surprised to see a real monster, and they looked at me with amazed expressions.

This is the power of volume adjustment!

“Then, who should go first…”

Before I could finish asking who should go first, Eileen took out a sharp sword from her spatial ring with a stoic expression.

“Kane, I’ll take care of it.”

“Hmm.”

She was full of enthusiasm.

“Huff!”

Eileen took a deep breath and swung her sword horizontally, as if performing a sword draw.

-Gurgle?

The goblin’s head and body were separated before it even realized what was happening.

Wow, that was clean.

What was impressive was that the goblin was cut so cleanly that the separation between the head and body was as smooth as if it had been measured with a ruler.

At that moment, I realized once again that Eileen was a heroine in the game.

As I was surprised, Jenny nodded with a proud expression, as if her daughter had grown up so well.

“As expected of our Eileen. If Eileen takes care of the hunting, she’ll definitely be in the top ranks.”

“Wow… You’re amazing.”

“Why? What’s wrong with that? Friends should help each other.”

“No, I mean, we think alike. That’s right, friends should help each other. Hmm.”

“Huh? What?”

Jenny was a little surprised that I agreed with her, but I had to take this opportunity.

After all, when else would I get a chance to ride the bus?

So, bus driver Eileen, please give me a ride!

.

.

.

After about an hour, as expected of a named character in the game, Eileen was slaying every monster she found with a single stroke of her sword.

Thanks to her, Jenny and I were getting Eileen’s bus ride “fairly”.

Thank you, Eileen, the bus driver!

Are you aiming to be a knight in a different sense, not the usual knight?

As I was having these silly thoughts,

-Swish!

“Phew. I got them all.”

Eileen completely turned a skeleton into dust.

How can a skeleton be reduced to dust by a sword?

“Eileen, why are you so eager to hunt these monsters?”

“Well, I’ve been doing sword training lately, so I wanted to try some real-life training.”

“Do you usually do real-life training with low-level monsters?”

Honestly, how much can you learn from training with low-level monsters?

For Eileen, who has top-notch skills, it’s not even real-life training, it’s just stress relief.

As I was struggling to understand, Jenny answered my question.

“She’s addicted to training, so just let her be.”

“Oh… I see. Yeah, that makes sense.”

“I don’t feel good about you agreeing with that expression, but I won’t say anything because I have to separate business from personal matters.”

What? What’s wrong with me?!

I don’t know what expression I’m making, but Eileen’s face, pouting with her lips sticking out, seems to be laughing at me.

“Anyway, putting that aside, doesn’t something seem strange?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

The two of them tilt their heads at my question.

“As far as I know, low-level monsters usually travel in groups, but the ones we’ve found so far have been alone.”

“That’s true.”

“Now that you mention it, that’s right.”

The two of them also sense something strange and become serious, deep in thought.

…Why does this feel ominous?

[The Goddess of Fate says that you can see the future, so why are you so anxious?]

I wish I had that ability for real.

Well, I do have it, but I have to die first to see the future.

Anyway, the ominous feeling spread down my spine, so I turned up the volume as much as I could, just in case.

-Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

…What’s that sound coming from over there?

It’s not unusual to hear footsteps here, as there are many monsters and other students around.

However, the problem was that the footsteps were coming from a place where they shouldn’t be heard.

And it wasn’t just one or two people, but several.

…I need to check this out.

“I’ll be right back.”

“Huh?! Where are you going all of a sudden…”

Eileen looked at me with a worried expression, but Jenny, who had sensed something, whispered to her with a serious expression.

“It’s obviously the bathroom.”

“Oh… I see…”

By the way, I hadn’t adjusted the volume back to normal yet, so I heard what Jenny said.

Eileen blushed and nodded, feeling embarrassed.

“Go ahead. We’ll wait here.”

“Okay, I’ll be right back.”

With that, I used my body enhancement and ran to where the sound was coming from.

As I turned my head back, the two of them looked at me with pitiful eyes, thinking, “How urgent was it?”

…Damn.

.

.

.

As I ran with my body enhancement, I finally arrived at the place where the cult was about to carry out their terrorist attack.

I looked around, just in case.

Hmm. There are no surveillance cameras here, as expected.

The location of the surveillance cameras hasn’t changed from the original.

I prayed that it wasn’t the case, and as I peeked out from behind a nearby tree,

Sure enough, the cult members were wearing black robes and drawing magical circles on the ground with the blood of monsters.

Damn it.

Why? What has changed from the original?

I haven’t touched anything related to the current main episode since the duel with Ogtein.

I haven’t gotten involved with Kim Soo-yong, and although I went on a date with Eileen, it had nothing to do with this incident.

Unless I’m involved with the cult…

As my thoughts reached that point,

-Thrust!

Suddenly, a blade pierced through my abdomen.

Huh? What’s going on? The cult members are over there, aren’t they?

I turned my head back, wondering who had attacked me.

“Phew. David von Kaine. Did you really think you could survive after being targeted by the cult?”

Ashad, a high-ranking member of the cult, looked at me with cold eyes.

Damn it. What’s he doing here?! He was in front of me just a moment ago.

I couldn’t understand the situation, so I turned my head back.

…What a monster.

I thought he had used some kind of trick, but it wasn’t the case.

He had simply moved at a speed that I couldn’t perceive while I was distracted, and stabbed me in the back.

Ashad pulled out his dagger and shook off the blood on the blade onto the ground.

“I never imagined that you would force us to move up our plans.”

I wanted to flip him off, but my body wasn’t responding.

-Thud!

My body collapsed to the ground.

My abdomen started to feel hotter and hotter, as if it had been burned.

[The Goddess of Fate says you shouldn’t die!]

The constellation, which usually wouldn’t care if I died, was worried for the first time.

I felt guilty for some reason.

Still, I didn’t want to just lie here and do nothing. I used my physical and mental enhancements while lying down, and the bleeding from my abdomen became even more severe.

I wanted to heal myself with the Holy Cross, but

I have to go back in time anyway. So, let me say one last thing before I die!

“Oh… You’re still struggling even when you’re about to die. You’re not as crazy as the rumors say.”

“What are you talking about, old man? Listen carefully to what I’m about to say. I’ll make sure you join your mother in the afterlife… So, stay put…”

My vision darkened as I finished my last words.
