Episode 293 Confession (1)
The entire ecliptic was in shock.
Bartolomeo, the head of the conglomerate bourgeois, is assassinated, and Cardinal Humbert of Quo Vadis, a religious chant, is missing.
The ‘night hound’ was pointed out as the chest water.
The night hound broke into the banquet where Bartolomeo and the academy students were together and took Saint Dolores as a hostage and held a cowardly hostage. In the process, it is said that Bartolomeo made a heroic sacrifice to save all the students.
A truly holy, heroic death.
Unfortunately, however, most of the survivors who survived because of Bartolomeo’s sacrifice stated that they had no memory of that time.
A student named Piggy stated that he fell asleep and did not see anything at all, and a student named Sinclair who was present at the scene showed symptoms of aphasia and short-term memory loss due to an overdose of sleeping pills, shock to the head, and psychological shock.
Lastly, Saint Dolores, who was directly taken hostage, also stated that she could not see anything because her eyes were covered with an eyepatch.
Bourgeois Demian, the deputy head of the bourgeois family, put an end to the case by issuing an official statement saying, ‘We will deal with the situation as quickly as possible, and the confusion will soon subside as there is an informally appointed successor to the position of head of household.’
… … however.
No matter how much a big accident occurs in the whole country, it is human beings and petit bourgeois who feel the small things in front of them right now more and more important.
Academy Colosseo.
The biggest issue here was the upcoming final exam and parent visit day.
No matter how much it is that the bourgeois assassination case is shaking the whole empire, there is no issue as important as the exam for students.
“Now, we are going to reorganize the gymnasium in preparation for the final exams!”
“In case of an unexpected accident, check the mana stones beforehand!”
“Is it possible that the promenade for parents to look around is so bleak? Let’s plant some more trees!”
“If possible, plant it as a large tree. I also sow a lot of flower seeds!”
Parents soon visited the school, and large-scale beautification work was taking place here and there.
As soon as Principal Winston returned, he started a large-scale greening project.
Large trees and beautiful flowers were planted throughout the campus, and soft music was played throughout.
In addition, Principal Winston, who expressed great regret over the abnormality of the magic wall during the midterm exam, doubled the strength of the barrier by adding new magic stones.
Beautification business and security business. These two were the main tasks of Principal Winston.
Students’ opinions on this were divided.
“Why is the principal doing such a large-scale construction as soon as he returns? Busy at school.”
“Well, you haven’t had much success since you’ve been away for a while. I have no choice but to push forward like this urgently.”
“Hey, the school is half land and half trees. I’m not crazy about trees… … .”
“A lot of mana stones came in. Now the magic wall will become incredibly strong.”
“what the. Parents are coming, so look at the construction to show them off. Not an army… … I will do something like usual.”
“Would you mind? I heard that even the 7th generation families send representatives for this parent observation class.”
“Yaya, I heard that there are even families where the head of the household comes directly?”
Meanwhile.
Dolores overcame the shock at the bourgeoisie and returned to the front line as the student body president.
Contact with companies, selection of mana stones and landscaping trees, unit price negotiations, transportation and landscaping, etc… … .
She was at the forefront of all these complicated tasks.
“Soon parents will be visiting the school. Many high-ranking people, including the seven generations of the Empire, are coming, so let’s not neglect the hospitality.”
According to Dolores, the student council executives worked hard.
Most families send high-ranking officials as agents, but there are rare cases where the head of the family comes directly, so it was a part to pay attention to one by one.
While countless students prepare to greet distinguished guests.
‘Phew… … .’
Dolores sighed inwardly.
‘I have to go and meet Piggy and Sinclair.’
After what had happened that day at the bourgeoisie, he had seen Piggy a few times, but never seen Sinclair.
It is because the diligent child does not go to class and locks himself in his dormitory room and never comes out.
Part-time jobs are punks, volunteer activities are punks, and clubs are punks.
Everyone was surprised and whispered about the change of Sinclair, who had always been sincere.
‘He looked very confused. Hey, it’s natural to be shocked when you see someone die right in front of you.’
Since Dolores is a saint, she has seen many people in pain and dying, so she has less psychological resistance, but Sinclair is a commoner girl who has grown up flawlessly.
Of course, the shock is bound to be great.
‘Still, I’m glad Sinclair didn’t say anything in front of reporters.’
Sinclair is smart. He is not a kid who can recklessly explode a bombshell in an interview without a back seat.
‘Come to think of it, you said you were sharing a room with Bianca, right?’
However, Bianca said that she and Sinclair hadn’t gotten along very well lately, so she didn’t go back to her room.
‘I can’t do it.’
Dolores thought she should visit Sinclair’s room at least tonight.
And in order to do that, you have to quickly get rid of the things that are now overdue.
“ruler. Let’s do our best again.”
Dolores cheered herself up, grabbed a pen, and began writing.
… … And in all these big and small changes.
<Announcement on Ranking Match Schedule>
The final exam, the final exam for freshmen in the 20th grade, has begun.
* * *
a week later
As the final exams almost came to an end, the results of the ranking match were almost all out.
The final exam was conducted by dividing the scores recorded during the midterm exam into sections, differentiating the level, and then collecting partial scores by having a real competition between students in that section.
The upper level is promoted, the lower level is suspended. This simple rule inspired all students.
Bikir, who was the top overall scorer during the midterm exam, saved face by defeating Lowro and Middlebro of the Cold Weapons Division and losing to Hivero.

In Cold Weapons, Bianca defeated Sancho after a close battle to advance to the final, and was about to face Tudor in the final match.
In the fever donation club, Grenouille and Sinclair are about to compete in the final.
The match between Tudor and Bianca, Grenouille and Sinclair was supposed to decorate the end of the final exam with all the parents watching.
And for this final, which everyone was watching, the four students were preparing especially hard.
Among them, Sinclair’s enthusiasm and tenacity were great enough to make everyone’s tongue stick out.
… Push!
The door to the gravity chamber opened and Sinclair, wet with sweat, walked out.
A black sleeveless tee and combat pants.
Sinclair, who withstood 11 times the gravity with a body without a handful of mana, sat down in a chair with an exhausted expression.
“… … Whoa.”
No one could approach Sinclair, who sighed deeply.
Of course, it was because Sinclair, who had been confined to the dormitory for a while and then came out for the final exam season, was showing unprecedented venom.
All of the elites of the Fever Army that I have encountered before the final exam rankings have been KO’d within 1 minute.
Even though they were aces with good midterm grades, they were also in the same tier as Sinclair.
Sinclair became extremely reticent and monotonous in all his actions.
sleep. meal. training. sleep. meal. training. sleep. meal. training.
He didn’t talk to anyone around him and focused only on what was in front of him.
Relationships with friends who were usually close were also strained. His cold tone and gaze, as if he was deliberately trying to sever her affection.
It was as if he became a different person overnight.
She also gave up volunteering at an orphanage, which she had been forced to do if there was no time.
Even when the children at the orphanage sent letters saying they wanted to see them, they just crumpled them up without reading them.
All the part-time jobs that I used to do responsibly have given up.
Even when Bianca, who shared the same room, was worried, she didn’t answer.
at that time.
“… … !”
Sinclair, who had not paid any attention to her surroundings until now, suddenly raised her head.
At the same time, the door to the front gravity chamber opened and someone came out.
… Push!
13 times gravity. Scores recorded only naked.
Clouds of steam rolled in and Bikir walked outside, drenched in sweat.
Then Sinclair opened his mouth.
“… … My older brother is still amazing.”
Sinclair, who acted as if she was going to organize all her connections, was the only person she spoke to first.
Bikir nodded and wiped the sweat from his face and body with a towel.
Sinclair jumped up from her seat and hurriedly followed him.
“What does 13 times gravity feel like?”
“What should I do to survive without using mana?”
“What do you usually eat? When do you sleep?”
“How the hell did you get so strong? What kind of training did you do?”
“Did you just lose to Hive this time? Are you tired of being noticed?”
.
.
To Vikir, Sinclair was the same as before.
She was still a bright girl with lots of questions.
… … but.
Even Bikir was able to notice that Sinclair’s last question had a slightly different energy than usual.
“Hyung, what are you doing tonight?”
“assignment.”
“I’m not going to do it all night. It’s not even that difficult.”
“There are also assignments from other major classes. It’s a night crop.”
“… … Chit.”
Sinclair’s lips parted at Bikir’s blunt words.
“Don’t you have time even though it’s very late? Even at dawn? You’re not going to sleep!”
“At dawn, the assignment will be over. why.”
When Bikir asked, Sinclair hesitated for a moment before speaking with great courage.
“… … Gwa, if you don’t mind, would you like to have a late-night snack in my room?”
