Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Then everything makes sense.

The Shadow Guild had ties to the Church, so in retaliation, they must have deliberately faked the holy water as a potion to get back at Kim Soo Yong.

How dare these b*stards pull such a scam on Davids estate, I cant forgive them!

I think I should just chop them up and drink their blood to make myself feel better.

Even if you were chosen by the constellation and called a saint by the saint herself, it is impossible to forgive their behavior.

Surely even Satan would weep for their humanity.

Kane opened his mouth with a serious face.

Kim Soo-yong, I think I know who the culprits are.

What? You think you know?

Yes. I think its the Church.

Hearing Kanes words, Kim Soo-Yong tilted his head in confusion.

Them? Why would they do something like this?

When have they ever had a reason? Anyway, when I investigated the Shadow Guild you destroyed, I found some kind of drug of some kind.

What?! There was such a thing?

Uh, and I know the people producing the drugs are members of the Church.

Kanes words left him speechless for a moment. Kane continued.

Did it have a similar appearance to the potion holy water you drank?

Kims eyes widened, his shoulders twitching as he realised he had hit the nail on the head. Kane continued, ignoring his reaction.

How about this. Didnt your throat get a little hot while you were drinking?

Thats right! It definitely did.

Then it is. The miasma I found in the Shadow Guild was that. hmmm.

Kane sighed heavily, looking like he was regrets deeply, and continued.

.We should have caught them sooner, but now that the criminals in our territory have been cleaned up, I have a special gift for you.

A gift?

At Kanes words, he looked perplexed. Kane reaches out his hand to Kims face.

His eyes squeezed shut as he was suddenly caught by surprise by Kanes hand.

However, contrary to his expectations, his broken bones, dislocated bones, and damaged organs slowly returned to normal.

Kim Soo-yong opens his closed eyes as he realises that he is now recovering.

Huh?! How?!

I told you, Im giving you a present.

And with that, Kim Soo-yong removed all the bandages from his body. After a moment of speechlessness, he clutched his hand and released it.

Okay. Its a little different from the original, but I dont care if its this different.

Then I have work to do, so Ill be going. Take care.

Kim Soo-yong didnt even reply to Kanes words, somehow taken back by the whole situation.

[Goddess of Destiny is surprised by your humanity - No nothing].

No. Id rather you talk, you b*stard.

With that, Kane left the room, fuming at the Constellation.

***

It had been a minute or so since Kane had left the room. When he came to his senses, he looked up.

Hes changed. Hes definitely changed.

In truth, Kim doesnt know Kane very well. Hes only seen him from afar in the first semester, mostly drinking and bullying.

But he can tell.

The person Kane is today is very different from the person he was then.

Whereas back then, he seemed desperate and broken, today, hes more relaxed, and hes kinder.

But apart from the change, how did he heal my body?

Obviously, my physical condition was not a joke. I had consumed the drugs produced by the Church during the golem extermination mission, but instead of increasing my physical strength, I felt dizzy.

In that state, I was indiscriminately attacked by the golems, and my organs and bones were crushed beyond belief.

I managed to survive, though, as the Royal Academy gave me a teleportation scroll just in case.

However, at the hospital, an apparently high-ranking priest told me that my body would need at least a week to heal with compete bed rest.

Kane had just healed a wound that a high priest said would take a week to heal.

My understanding is that Kane is incompetent, so how did that happen?

Im frustrated.

Usually, when I dont know something, I can ask Constellation and she tells me, but since she suddenly disappeared, I feel like Im in the dark.

Ugh Stop relying on Constellation.

If you want to survive in this world, you cant rely on anyone.

The only person you can completely trust is yourself.

So, in the end, was Kane really incompetent?

On second thought, it was just a rumour that he was incompetent. Ive never seen him in action, and his personality could just be a result of something that happened to him at the time.

The rumors Id heard were that he was a broken man with a broken character. I too thought so, when I saw him drinking and throwing water.

But, the Kane I saw now, far from being a bad character, but appeared to be a righteous man.

He seemed to be incredibly frustrated when he realized that innocent adventurers, including himself, had been defrauded by the Church.

Not only that, but even if I did manage to get rid of the Shadow Guild, he was able to heal a wound that even a high-ranking priest couldnt easily heal.

It must not have been easy to heal.

I dont know what kind of ability Kane used, but he was able to heal his own body, which was almost battered, in one shot. He couldnt have done that without paying a price.

Come to think of it, the David family anonymously offered to help me get rid of the Shadow Guild, didnt they? Huh? No way.

Now that I think about it, its strange that the David family would anonymously support me for destroying the Shadow Guild.

Maybe I should have brought it out in the open.

But after what Kane did today? It all makes sense.

He supports me, and he sacrifices something today to heal my wounds too.

Theres no doubt about it, its Kane who supports me.

I dont know why hes doing it, but all I know is that hes helping me and good person.

Ill have to repay this debt someday.

With that thought, he checked his physical condition once more before leaving the room.

***

After leaving the hospital, I walked back towards the academys main building.

Hmmm What lectures am I going to take anyway?

Honestly, the only thing I can think of that I have a talent for right now is that.

The problem is, I dont know if I should call it talent or potential, but its the only thing that gives me hope.

But Im sure Ill be treated like a crazy person if I apply for a course based on that.

No. Maybe it doesnt matter if Im treated that way now?

Professor Williams didnt look at me today, but Im sure hes thinking the same as his students. And I bet the other professors do, too.

So whats the harm in being treated that way now?

Ive been treated like a crazy person to the point of getting sick of it and Im going to go along with it, even if professor thinks so, whats the big deal?

Well, thats one decision I made.

Now I just need to think of two more to meet the minimum grades.

Firstly, I need to get fit and strong, so PE is a must.

I have nothing to lose by training those two, no matter what kind of power Im dealing with.

That leaves one more to go.

The only one worth taking is the swordsmanship class, which is the hardest Ive ever trained for.

But. Im honestly not that talented.

Obviously, Thomas, Eileen, and Marc are very talented in swordsmanship and aura, but I cant help but feel that Kane has no talent whatsoever.

As I walk along, pondering my options, the Constellation sends me a message.

[Goddess of Destiny asks whats bothering you so much].

Hmmm Ill ask her.

Though I dont understand the constellation, she is a fairly long-lived woman, so she is quite knowledgeable.

Okay. Lets ask her.

Hey, what do you think would be the best lecture for me to take?

[Goddess of Destiny suggests taking a lecture on the constellations].

Isnt that a f*ck*ng boring?

[Goddess of Destiny disagrees!!!]

No. Honestly, its boring.

Of course, theres no guarantee that the other lectures will be as interesting, but frankly, Im afraid that, at best, the Constellation lectures are like going to church and reading the Bible.

I dont talk if it would help me.

Even though I pretty much know the games settings, Im not convinced I need to listen to that.

[Goddess of Destiny explains how much fun the Constellation Lecture is].

No. I dont really want to know.

[Goddess of Destiny says confidently that you can get to know her for yourself].

Nah, not necessary. I dont want to know.

Despite declining her offer, the constellation continues to message me to explain herself, ignoring my words.

I just ignore her. Im an idiot for expecting anything.

I ignore Constellations self-bragging messages and stroll into Williams lab.

***

Arriving at Williams lab, I knocked on the door.

Professor. Its Kane ca.

Yeah. Come in.

Before I could finish my sentence, William spoke first, opening the door and walking in.

The lab is similar to Williams image, with books scattered on the floor and the desk similarly unorganized.

.

!.

They say that real contemplation is science, so if theyre right, lets go.

Although, to be fair, Williams face looks like it belongs in the corner of a room at home.

While I was mulling over the idea of contemplation, he spoke up with an expressionless face.

So, have you decided what lectures youre going to take?

I have, except for one.

Hmph, whats there to choose between? Considering your family, arent swordsmanship, aura practices, and physical fitness a good three?

Well, common sense says yes.

But the problem is that this body has gone beyond common sense.

Well, thats true, but after what happened in the first term, Im going to skip Swordsmanship and Aura Manipulation and take Magic.

What?!

William looks at me like I dont know what Im talking about.

I suppose that reaction is to be expected.

The children of House David, as they say, are gifted in swordsmanship and aura manipulation

But despite my best efforts, I have no such talent. Therefore, I tested myself to see if I had an aptitude for magic.

I dont know if I do, but I definitely felt quite a bit of magic in my body, unlike the cramped aura.

But. Even if I had magic, I couldnt learn it on my own, as there was no one in my knight family who could teach me magic.

So I did nothing but focus on building my magic over the holidays. I didnt do anything more than that.

Well, not exactly.

And first of all, to make an excuse that isnt an excuse. I honestly didnt know how to use magic by myself when I was playing the game and was just pressing buttons.

Its not like Im incompetent at all.

Its natural.

Just as Im screaming in frustration. William opened his mouth with a grim face.

Hmm. Its your choice, so theres no need for me to talk you out of it. I see.

Hmmm unexpected?

Honestly, as a professor, I would have expected him to force me to change the lecture I chose, but he didnt say anything to show that he respected my choice.

I thought it was a bit surprising.

Judging by the way hes showing signs of being bothered by everything, thats another one.

Yeah. I guess he just allowed it because he thought it was annoying.

William yawned as he wiped a tear from his eye and asked.

Hmmso what are you going to do with the other one?

At his question, I slowly opened my mouth.
