“Why are you rushing in like this? What’s going on?”

Nurse Karen couldn’t help but be baffled. Since Rotain Academy taught both swordsmanship and magic, there were always a lot of injured people

As a result, the infirmary had the most floor space in the academy and was always kept up to date.

However, the academy was strange today, so strange that even the infirmary was full.

Besides, it’s not the middle of the semester; it’s vacation.

The infirmary was so full that she wondered if most of the children remaining in the dormitory had been brought in.

“What in the world is it?”

In addition, most of them had fainting of unknown origin and it all began with the new professor, Perr, who was lying in her lab with foam in her mouth.

Some of the children who were using the training ground fainted, leaving marks that looked like they had been hit somewhere.

According to eyewitnesses, they suddenly shouted something into the air and swung their swords.

As well as libraries, cafeterias, hallways, classrooms and more.

Regardless of the situation, there were anomalies in which students fell.

In particular, the place that was causing the most damage.

“The central entrance on the first floor.”

Karen exhaled deeply as she slid her hand into her white gown.

The majority of the students who came down to the first floor today to visit the Academic Affairs Support Team passed out and had to be brought in.

“Among the students who visited the Academic Affairs Support Team, all the children who did not pass out used other stairs.”

As a result of their own investigation, they found that only students who came down the central hallway or used the front door passed out.

“I have to go.”

Most of the students at the academy were children who stayed in the dormitory during vacation.

It was safe to say that rumors would not spread outside the academy, but it would be difficult if this situation unfolded even after the semester started.

They could ask other professors, but this would take time. Karen decided it was better to go deal with it than to stay here.

Even though she was in the infirmary, there was nothing she could do for the students.

Putting down her stethoscope and syringe, Karen picked up her own sword, which she had wrapped in fine bandages.

If I have an enemy that injures my ally, I protect that ally by killing it. It was one of her philosophies.

“Everyone stay here. If you go outside before I come back, you will be searched.”

Rattle.

She tied her gray hair together with a hair tie and placed the prescription glasses perched over the bridge of her nose into her front pocket.

“It’s true! There was an Undead at the central entrance on the first floor!”

“Ha, but look at this. Is there anything here now?”

Arriving at the main entrance, Karen approached a wistful voice piercing her ears.

It was Meirin, who was famous for being a bad-mouth prodigy among the security guards and second-years staying here during the vacation.

“Oh! That’s what I said! Don’t you know that all the children are being taken to the infirmary?”

“I know, so I’ve been investigating this place many times, but there’s nothing like that.”

“There was!”

Karen’s lips twitched as she stared at Meirin, who was screaming.

Despite the fact that she despised rude students…

“Shall we talk for a minute?”

… Meirin deserved the title of genius, and she was the only one who had come down the Central Stairway to remember what she saw.

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

After I finished eating, the maid who came to clean up the tableware as if she had been waiting, seemed quite uncomfortable with me.

I’m sure she must be in a difficult position.

Even though I tried to be as polite as possible, I could see in her eyes she was worried that I’d ask for something unreasonable.

I was once again left alone in the room.

I wasn’t lonely or bored. In the first place, I was a person who had a difficult time feeling lonely.

Ghosts were everywhere, unconstrained by space.

[You’re quite hated, young master.]

“It can’t be helped.”

An elderly man stood next to my desk. The neatly organized appearance and clothes that were difficult to distinguish from dead people were impressive.

He was a man who served the Verdi family many years ago and is still doing so.

‘I haven’t seen him before I left for the Academy.’

Originally, ghosts pop up here and there and sometimes they hide, so I think it’s okay.

I don’t understand all of their actions.

“So I want you to help me.”

[Do you need my help?]

The man’s voice trembled for a moment at my words. After crying as if he was moved by something, he slowly put one hand on his shoulder and bowed deeply.

[Even though I have already become a ghost, there’s only one reason why I cannot leave this mansion. It was to pay off the Verdi family’s debt.]

“What is your name?”

[My name is Skalma, and it is an honor to finally be able to repay the grace I received 150 years ago from Dietros Verdi.]

“Even though I intend to resist the words of the current head of household?”

[You, who awakened me, are the true master of Verdi.]

“………….”

I closed my mouth for a moment and looked at him. I felt uncomfortable when he said that he would follow me too easily.

‘I can’t act without him anyway.’

Even if I want to jump out of the window, I can’t even stick my face out of the confinement magic in the name of protection, which was working neatly.

“Then, Skalma. Are you an earthly spirit?”

[No, that’s not true. I can’t go too far, but I can move inside Northweden.]

“What about the mountains?”

[It’s possible.]

“Good. Then go to the Northweden Mountains. I heard that the battle with the immigrants is in full swing, so I need to see how the war situation is going.”

[I will serve you, Master.]

Skalma passed through a wall and disappeared. I sat calmly and tried to decipher the magic that kept me locked up in the whole room.

It was then, the sound of heavy footsteps coming from outside disturbed my concentration.

After predicting the visitor, I asked the maid to bring a teapot and light it to boil water.

Click.

The door, which hadn’t even moved a moment until just now no matter how much I turned the doorknob, opened so smoothly.

“So, are you back after all?”

A woman with the same short black hair as me, wearing a light dress shirt and a skirt.

Deia Verdi. My sister and the woman who hated me quite a lot.

Deia sneered with her big eyes, crossing her arms.

“What was it? I heard you came back after being called a devil worshiper.”

“Hoo, did you finish what you want to say?”

Deia, like the wind rushing in through the crack in the open door, reacted with anger as her veins jumped right at my word.

“I told you not to talk like that, didn’t I? Did puberty come very late? Where’s the old way of talking?”

“—I’m sorry if you miss my old way of talking.”

But this can’t be helped.

From now on, since I became Deus, I had no intention of changing my tone.

Because it was very frivolous.

“Does it make you feel nostalgic? Do you miss the way your younger sister talked to you when she was bored and wanted to have sex?”

{T/N:- the raws are ‘그립겠니? 여동생한테 심심하면 섹x거리던 새끼의 말투가 그립겠냐고?’ and someone TLed the raws to the above sentence.}

“…That.”

Yes, Deus Verdi was a crazy person. Even in this foreign land of Northwenden, he indulged in pleasure and enjoyment. He even made sexual advances toward his own blood-related younger sister, and actually propositioned her for a night together.

He was truly a madman among madmen.

A debauched man among debauched men. In terms of womanizing, he was a pro, and in terms of liking alcohol, he was a master. But he was not particularly strong or gifted with magical talent.

Deus Verdi was just a man who carried the frontier family on his back and played tiger games in the well.

“I’m sorry.”

After all, it was the original owner of this body that I had possessed who did it.

I had to apologize. I apologized several times already, but Deia snorted.

“It’s disgusting. Act like a dog in moderation. You’re acting like an aristocrat.”

“…………..”

“I know your nature. Do you know what I was thinking when you said you’d go to Rotain Academy, leaving your girlfriend and giving up sex to focus solely on your fiancée?”

Deia kicked the sofa I was sitting on. As a result, the tea I was brewing for her overflowed and spilled onto her floor.

“I thought you’d be back in just a month, because I know how many times you change girls a week. For your fiancé, I thought she’d last a month or so.”

“…………….”

“But it lasted for three months? How badly did you live to be called a devil worshiper and get fired?”

“There’s a reason for that.”

“Reason! Yeah! There must be a reason why you’re teasing bitch! Seeing that the Bright family hasn’t asked for a breakup yet, I guess you’ve been talking about your fiancée well?”

“Haaaa.”

I was starting to get a headache.

I know I’ve hurt her, so I understand, but now she’s slowly getting beyond the bounds.

“Stop it.”

“Stop it? If you ask me to stop, I–.!”

Dark light mana spurted out from my fingertips. It gently wrapped around Deia’s body and pushed her out the door.

“Correct your words! I don’t want to see you, who comes every day and laughs like a clown and makes vulgar jokes! It’s also disgusting that you’re trying to pretend you’re normal!”

“………………..”

“Just get out of the mansion! Get out of here!”

Gwang!

The door closed, and Deia’s voice, still racked with rage, echoed like a babble from outside.

“Whoooo.”

It’s been 6 months since I came to this world.

I spent three months at the mansion and three months at the academy.

It was still a hard life.
