Chapter 47

"So you're telling me that Do Jin-hak... no, that I was classmates with Professor Alfred?"

The campus of Masterclass was beautiful to look at with its cherry blossoms in full bloom.

However, I couldn't see a single flower. Instead, as I walked quickly through the garden, the words Oh Jisung had just spoken kept replaying in my head.

"I heard from Professor Alfred that she owed a lot to Professor Do when they were at the training institute. Apparently, Professor Alfred's friends had gone missing, and Professor Do had helped with the search... Professor Do, is something wrong? Your face looks pale."

I must have had a serious expression on my face, because Oh Jisung in Cafe Untni looked at me strangely.

The situation was serious. A new setting had appeared that didn't exist at all in the previous playthrough.

‘Adding a new setting? How could this happen?’

It was hard to believe, and I didn't want to believe it.

Rushing out of the cafe, I headed straight for my office. I opened the door and immediately called for Caesar.

"Caesar, search my training institute records right now. Check if there's anyone named Alfred Clementine among my classmates."

-Searching Professor Do Jin-hak's training institute records...

-Search complete. 1 person named Alfred Clementine has been found among a total of 112 classmates.

Caesar displayed a single photo as a hologram upon completing the search.

It was a group photo, seemingly taken during a training institute trip.

In it was Alfred Clementine, with a youthful face as she is now.

And next to her stood Do Jin-hak.

‘...It's real. The Vice-Principal was right.’

How could this have happened?

A new setting added to a new playthrough.

In the original story, Do Jin-hak and Alfred Clementine were strangers, but in this playthrough, they were set up as classmates.

And I could roughly guess where this strange setting came from.

‘The incident where he saved her missing friends... it's similar to what happened in the previous playthrough.’

The students of Alfred Clementine who had gone missing in Yongmun Mountain.

It was similar to the incident where he saved the students who were about to become sacrifices to the Imugi.

‘This can't be just a coincidence.’

It couldn't be a mere coincidence that the new setting added in this playthrough was similar to the events of the previous playthrough. Clearly, the events of the 138th playthrough had influenced the settings of this 139th playthrough.

If I had to guess the reason for this...

‘...Is it because of the inherited skill?’

There was no other explanation. Perhaps because the Genius 1 skill I had acquired from Alfred Clementine in the previous playthrough was inherited in this playthrough, the incident with Alfred Clementine was also inherited.

"It's unbelievable."

I muttered, looking up at the clouds that covered the window. It felt like the [System] that made up this world was looking down at me from above.

Why did the system implement this phenomenon?

I couldn't understand the reason. Perhaps it's simply because if only the skill is inherited, the setting would collapse. For someone to have the Genius skill, it would make sense if they had some connection with Alfred Clementine.

‘...Wait, shouldn't Do Jin-hak have the skill, not me?’

When I thought about it, that was right. In this playthrough, it was Do Jin-hak, not the blood demon me, who had a relationship with Alfred Clementine. Logically speaking, the Genius skill should belong to Do Jin-hak.

‘Maybe it's a kind of bug...’

The world of Military Chronicle recorded the most massive amount of data in history.

‘Even after dying and coming back 139 times, this world is still a mystery to me.’

It's absurd that things like infinite restarts and skill inheritance even happen.

‘Anyway, I don't like these unexpected variables.’

My head was spinning.

I'd inherited a total of three skills from the previous playthrough:

Dragonkin Affinity

Genius

Speed Reading

"...Why are you bringing that up now?"

"Personally, I hate that thief, so I briefly investigated the case."

"What are you talking about?"

Seo Su-kyung spat out the words in a suddenly cold tone.

Instead of answering, I called Caesar.

"Caesar, play video number 3."

-Playing video number 3.

A holographic video appeared in the middle of the room.

It was a video of a room, shot from a phone. Recognizing the familiar interior, Seo Su-kyung's face twisted.

"That's... my dorm room? Did you secretly come into my room and film this?"

"While chasing the thief, strangely enough, the trail led to your room. I was filming to leave evidence, but I ended up capturing a strange scene."

I told Caesar to fast forward the video. The video then moved to a secret room hidden inside the house...

-”Huff... Haa... Huff... Haa...”

Seo Su-kyung appeared, burying her face in someone else's gym clothes.

"!"

A sight she didn't want anyone to see.

Witnessing this embarrassing scene, Seo Su-kyung's face turned pale and her hands trembled.

'It's effective as always.'

In the previous playthrough, I discovered Seo Su-kyung's abnormal fetish, and in this playthrough, I decided to exploit that weakness.

So, before officially arriving at the academy and interviewing with the vice-principal, I sneaked into the academy and hid in her dorm room...

'I easily caught Seo Su-kyung's weakness.'

I remembered the date when Seo Su-kyung stole Shin A-sol's gym clothes from the list of thefts in the previous playthrough.

Of course, for Seo Su-kyung, who didn't know about it, this situation would seem like a nightmare.

"Why do you have Shin A-sol's gym clothes? Why do you enjoy smelling them? I won't ask. Everyone has different tastes."

"It's not like that..."

"Is it not? Should I show this video to Shin A-sol?"

"Ugh!"

Imagining the worst-case scenario, Seo Su-kyung's pupils were so blurry that she couldn't focus.

'As I felt in the previous playthrough, she's terribly afraid of Shin A-sol leaving her.'

I understand why she relies so much on Shin A-sol. Especially considering Seo Su-kyung's abnormal upbringing.

However, I wonder how she managed to hide this side of her in the game.

'Come to think of it, I saw it often in the Military Chronicle community. Strange people supporting Shin A-sol and Seo Su-kyung as a 'womance'.'

I just thought it was a peculiar preference back then. Maybe they saw something I didn't.

"Why are you doing this to me...?! What have I done wrong...?!" Seo Su-kyung shouted, sounding extremely wronged.

And she was right, to some extent. This playthrough's Seo Su-kyung hadn't done anything to me yet.

"There seems to be some misunderstanding. I'm not trying to punish you. I'm just trying to make you a good offer."

"An offer? Threatening people with videos like this...?"

"I'd appreciate it if you'd think of it as guiding a student who's gone down the wrong path."

Seo Su-kyung could only gape, speechless.

But I was simply stating a fact. In this playthrough, I won't do anything to damage my reputation.

'I have to make the Deconstructionist a major department and become its head.'

There's no other way after hearing about my relationship with Kim Taekhee from Do Jin-hak. If I don't build a reputation that surpasses Kim Taekhee's, I'll be kicked out of this academy anytime.

'If I had to give it a name, the "Path of the True Teacher" route would be appropriate.'

In the 139th playthrough, Do Jin-hak will be a very special teacher unlike any other.

First, let's start with the moral education of this audacious girl.

"Well then, the offer I'm going to make you is..."
