Avoid Yandere Constellation

During the Royal Capital Festival, the Royal Academy holds a tournament among the students.

It’s a simple tournament where students compete within their respective grades.

Since I’m in the first grade, I’ll be competing against other first-grade students.

Of course, there are almost no magicians or priests, as only Skaya among the first-grade students can instantly manifest a spell.

As I thought about the grade tournament, I arrived at the venue without even realizing it.

I approached a staff member at the venue.

“Excuse me. I’m a participant. Where should I go?”

“Oh! What’s your name?”

“David von Kaine.”

The staff member scanned the list of applicants and, upon finding my name, nodded and pointed to the participant waiting room in a businesslike tone.

“Please go inside and wait there.”

“Yes, I understand.”

With that, I entered the participant waiting room.

.

.

.

As expected, the top students of the first grade, such as Kim Soo-yong, Skaya, and Eileen, were not in the waiting room.

Okay, then I have a good chance of winning.

I sat in a corner like a school outcast, thinking that I could easily win, when someone entered the room.

-Creak!

The person who entered was none other than Jenny.

Jenny looked around, turning her head to see if she knew anyone in the room, and her eyes met mine.

“Huh? Kaine! What are you doing here?”

“Why do you ask? I’m participating too, so I’m here.”

“You? I thought you weren’t interested in these things?”

I’m not really interested, but there are points at stake.

“Well, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to participate once.”

“Wow… Then we might end up facing each other.”

“Hmm…”

Now that I think about it, that’s true.

To be honest, I was only thinking about the well-known students, but I had forgotten about Jenny, Eileen’s friend.

Isn’t she also a supporting character, so she’s well-known?

“Damn it. I guess I can’t win easily.”

Jenny is weaker than the top students, but that doesn’t mean she’s not good.

During the last evaluation, she quickly found the surveillance crystal ball with her insight.

She has her own techniques and is quite skilled in handling aura.

If I weren’t here, Jenny would have had a high chance of winning.

It’s no wonder she hangs out with Eileen.

Friends usually hang out with those similar to them, right?

There’s always a reason why Eileen and Jenny are friends.

As I was feeling a bit disappointed, Jenny also showed a similar reaction.

“Damn it. I spent all my allowance, so I came here to earn some money.”

“Huh? Then, if we meet in the finals, will you let me win? There’s a prize.”

“Wow… Kaine, you’re really…”

At my suggestion, Jenny bowed her head.

Am I being too shameless?

To be honest, I was just joking, but since we’re planning to put on a show at the Royal Capital Festival, it’s natural for Jenny to react like this.

“I knew you had a bad personality, but I never thought it would show even in the grade tournament.”

“Huh?”

Jenny said this, but she extended her hand to me.

“Your body is honest, unlike your words.”

“That’s how life is.”

That’s right. The prize money was too big to refuse.

We shook hands and formed an alliance.

“Hey, listen. What are you up to?”

A guy with a menacing appearance approached us and started picking a fight.

Since I’ve been keeping a low profile, guys like Ogtein are starting to act up again.

“What am I up to? Do you have any evidence?”

“……”

The guy couldn’t say anything in response to my question and just scowled.

I ignored his reaction and continued.

“You’re accusing me without any evidence. Hey, and it was just a joke. Why are you taking it seriously?”

“What?! It was a joke?”

At my quick change of attitude, Jenny, who was listening beside me, widened her eyes and looked at me with a betrayed expression.

Did you take it seriously too?

To be honest, I’d like to cheat too, but something feels off, from the missing points to the ongoing quest.

So, it’s better to just compete fairly.

The system is quite unfriendly in this regard.

During the duel with Ogtein, I called Kim Soo-yong as a proxy and won, but I didn’t get any points.

Well, aside from that…

“If we cheat with our skills, the professors will find out.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

Jenny nodded in agreement.

I immediately turned to the menacing guy.

“Hey, did you hear that? It was obviously a joke. Why are you taking it seriously? If you had kept quiet, you could have avoided half the trouble.”

“Grrr!”

The guy trembled at my words.

He looks and acts like an extra.

“Hey, stop trembling here and just leave. You’re disgusting.”

“Tch! I’ll get you later.”

The guy said this and turned around, acting as if he was someone important, and returned to where he came from.

His words were also like those of an extra.

I really feel like slapping him.

As I was thinking this, a scrawny-looking guy approached us.

“Um, excuse me…”

“What? Do you have a problem with me too?”

The guy shook his head in response to my question.

“No, it’s not that. I heard that Dillon is involved with some bad people. Are you okay?”

“Who’s Dillon?”

At my question, Jenny looked at me as if I was an idiot.

“The guy you just fought with is Dillon.”

“Oh, really?”

“Damn it. You didn’t even know his name?”

“I don’t need to know the name of a guy like that.”

I said this and turned to the scrawny-looking guy.

“Okay, thanks for letting me know. By the way, what’s your name?”

“Me? I’m called Frac.”

Frac? That’s a unique name.

Well, it’s not that unusual to have a name like this in a game world.

After all, there’s a Korean name like Kim Soo-yong in the game.

As I thought this, we chatted while waiting for the tournament to start.

.

.

.

As we chatted, the tournament began without us realizing it.

I could hear the cheers of the crowd.

From the sound of it, there must be a lot of spectators.

Well, that’s to be expected.

Usually, the most entertaining fights are between the weakest opponents.

In reality, the grade tournament, especially the first-grade matches, is a competition between the weakest students, so it’s natural that it’s popular.

Of course, my match with Jenny won’t be that interesting.

“There seem to be a lot of spectators.”

“Yeah, that’s how it usually is. The fights where the weakest fight are the most fun.”

Jenny nodded in agreement.

As we chatted casually, Frac, sitting next to us, trembled and looked at us with a stiff face.

“Aren’t you guys nervous?”

“Huh? Well, a little, but not too much.”

“Honestly, I don’t have much to lose even if I lose.”

“That’s true, but…”

Jenny nodded in response to Frac’s words.

At that moment, Professor William opened the waiting room door and called out to Jenny and another participant named Henry.

Jenny stood up, brushed off her knees, and left the waiting room with light steps.

“Kaine. I hope you’ll be so scared after seeing my skills that you’ll drop out. That way, I can win easily.”

“Yeah, get lost.”

At his response, I raised my middle finger and turned my attention to the upcoming match.

Jenny and Henry appeared in the arena.

The two listened to the rules from William, nodded, and moved away from each other, putting on protective suits.

The suits had gauges, indicating that the match would end when the gauge reached zero.

In the game, there was just HP.

Well, reality and games are different, after all.

As I was thinking this, the participants around me were discussing who would win.

“Hey, who do you think will win?”

“It’s obvious. It’s Jenny, of course.”

“But I heard that Henry has been improving a lot lately.”

“Really? Then, it might be hard to tell. Henry was originally one of the top students.”

The participants made these comments and then focused on the match between Jenny and Henry.

Henry seems to be a skilled student among his peers.

He wasn’t even mentioned in the game, so I didn’t know anything about him, but he seems to be well-known among his peers.

But… well, there’s always a reason why someone is an extra.

To be honest, I can predict how strong Henry is, even if he’s considered an extra among his peers.

Even if an extra becomes stronger, there’s a limit.

As I thought this, I turned my gaze to the arena.

-Thud!

As expected, Jenny was mercilessly beating up Henry.

Wait, is this a match?

When there’s a big difference in skill, it’s normal for one person to get beaten up, but the match in front of me was more like Jenny beating up Henry and even trampling him.

Is she just here to relieve stress?

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that moment, Eileen, who was watching Jenny’s match from the audience, was covering her face with her hands.

“Eileen, weren’t you close to Jenny?”

“I don’t know that person, Skaya.”

Jenny’s behavior was so embarrassing that Eileen’s ears turned red.

As the two of them felt embarrassed by Jenny’s actions, William stopped Jenny’s ‘justified’ assault.

Jenny, who had finished her match, looked around at the audience with a relieved expression, as if she had relieved some stress.

The two of them covered their faces with their hands, thinking that Jenny might recognize them.

However, Jenny had exceptional insight and immediately noticed them.

She waved her hand and shouted,

“Eileen! Skaya! How was my match?!”

At her shout, the audience around them all turned to look at the two.

Skaya’s face turned red, and he muttered,

“Eileen, I feel embarrassed alone.”

“No, I’m embarrassed too.”

The two of them pretended not to have heard Jenny’s shout and bowed their heads.

Jenny, seeing their reaction, smiled smugly and shouted even louder,

“The two people covering their faces are participants in the Royal Tournament!! Everyone, remember them!!!”

With that, Jenny entered the participant waiting room.

The two of them vowed to get revenge on Jenny later and sat there, their faces red and trembling.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that time, the next participants, me and Dillon, were getting ready to go out.

As I stretched and prepared, Dillon smiled maliciously and said,

“I’m lucky. I can stomp you from the beginning.”

“……”

I deliberately ignored his words, and Dillon’s forehead veins popped out, making his already menacing expression even more fierce.

Dillon looked at me with a murderous voice and said,

“Don’t think you’re safe just because it’s a match. If you take damage beyond the gauge, you’ll get injured.”

“Huh? Really? That’s great.”

“……What?”

Another eunuch will be born today.
