Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 25

Why the hell are you coming out of there?

Obviously, according to the original script, he should be lying in the infirmary after being beaten up by Kim Soo-yong, not walking in here right now.

However, the extra Ogtinc, this guy doesnt even look like hes been beaten up.

[Goddess of Destiny says shes never seen you look so surprised].

Of course not.

Theres not been a butterfly effect this big before.

Well, she wouldnt understand if I told her.

Anyway, look at him. He looks like a neighborhood bully.

He looks like the type youd find in a back alley with a tattooed arm and a cigarette.

Ogtinc enters the lecture room and walks slowly.

-Slowly. Slowly.

His steps are towards the empty seats, but something is wrong.

Obviously, there are countless empty seats in the room, but he seems to be walking towards me and not anywhere else.

What is it? Why is he coming towards me? Something is wrong with the atmosphere.

Ogtinc is coming towards me.

Common sense tells me that hes just trying to find a seat near me.

But. Ive been dead a few times now, and my instincts tell me thats not going to happen.

Well, aside from that, hes got that look in his eyes that says he has something to do with me.

And when I think about it, its weird that he wants to sit in the empty seat above me when everyone else is avoiding the seats near me.

Eventually, as expected, he steps in front of me, stops, and then gives me a smirk.

Hey. Did your family cut you off from support? What are you going to do now? You dont even have anyone to protect you?

?

What? Am I actually Kim Soo-yong? Why are you arguing with me, and when did I lose my support?

[Goddess of Destiny is dismayed by the bullys attitude].

Normally, I dont sympathize with Constellation, but for once, I do.

What are you babbling on about? When is the last time I needed support again?

.

Hmph But why dont you have that b*tch with you? You know, the one you usually have with you..

Are you talking about Riche? I was wondering why the students here didnt touch me.

Now it makes a little sense. Honestly, even though Im a Marquis son, it doesnt make sense that the students at the Royal Academy, a place that values equality, would leave me alone right now.

But as it turns out, its not that they were afraid of me. Rather that they couldnt. I dont know exactly what she did in term one, but if anyone messed with me, Im pretty sure she taught them lessons.

And I bet it was severe.

For a moment, I try to imagine her going after the guy who messed with me.

No, lets not do that.

I dont think it would do any good.

Well, shed have done it without being seen. Leave no trace.

But how did the b*stard know, I lost support? Is it just a guess?

If its just a guess, it doesnt make any sense. Its only been a couple of days since I was cut off and back on again.

To know this without guessing? Impossible.

The only people who knew about this in the first place were me, Thomas, Kersey, Constellation, Riche, and Philippe.

First of all, theres no reason for Thomas to tell him. And aside from that, I doubt theyre even close.

The other three, Riche, Kersey, and Philippe, stayed with me the whole time.

The only one left, then, is Constellation.

[Goddess of Destiny asks what hes up to].

I dont think so.

Of course, she disappeared for a week. During that time, she went to Anje, which is understandable.

But going to an extra just to tell him that my support has been cut off, I dont think shed do that unless shes got an udon noodle in her brain.

I doubt she even knows Ogtinc in the first place.

And its odd that a mere baronet would know a secret about a Marquis.

Hmm I guess its just a guess.

Certainly, theres no Riche near me now compared to first term. So its no wonder he thinks my support has been cut off.

When I didnt say anything, the corner of his mouth raised as if he thought he was right.

I guess I was right then, huh? So now you cant even be called a noble, you dont have the backing of a family, youre not as talented as your siblings, youre not even as good as your brother, youre as good as exiled, Hahahaha!

With that, the girls who had been watching me carefully glared at me. Eileen and Jenny look at me a little worriedly.

Hmmm Im going to look like an incompetent fool if I let him bully me.

You must be mistaken, why didnt I bring Riche with me?

I release the aura within me.

The aura slowly grew. It gradually fills the lecture room, beyond the capacity of a single persons aura.

Every student in the room, including Ogtinc, stares wide-eyed in disbelief.

Because I am strong.

***

Eileens eyes widened as she watched the whole thing unfold.

When did Kane become capable of manipulating an aura of this magnitude? Or does it even make sense to have an aura of that size in the first place?

Eileen can certainly be proud of her own efforts. Every day, shes been getting up early to do basic fitness training, strength training, and swordsmanship and Aura training.

But even so, as Kane has just demonstrated, its impossible to raise an aura like that, let alone manipulate one that large.

Eileen questioned herself. Kane opens his mouth, his face expressionless.

Because Im strong.

Every student in the room swallowed nervously at those words.

In front of Kane, Ogtincs face fell and he trembled.

He slowly opened his mouth.

This time, the door opened from the front, not the back.

It was none other than William, a professor at the Royal Academy.

He opened his mouth to yawn. He dragged on his slippers and scanned the room.

What are you doing up there?

I-Im sorry, sir.

Ogtinc turned away swiftly at the professors question. He sat down in an empty seat, far from Kane.

William scratched the back of his head with an annoyed look on his face.

Todays the first day of school, so lets make it quick and done. You all know how to sign up for classes, right?

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Then thats it. Just like in first term, you can sign up for any course you want. Of course, youll have to meet the minimum grade point average. Class dismissed for the day.

With that, the students in the lecture room leave, all smiling and happy that its over.

Jenny gets up from her seat with a big smile on her face.

Even though we know of professors behaviour. I cant believe how fast that was. But did you see Kain earlier?

Even though we know of professors behaviour. I cant believe how fast that was. But did you see Kain earlier?

Ugh (NOD NOD)

At Jennys question, Eileen stammered but nodded. Jenny crossed her arms and asked in a surprised tone.

What exactly happened to him over the holidays to change him so much? Did you hear anything?

I dont know, I havent seen him over the holidays in the first place, except when we broke up.

Eileen remembered Kanes expression when he unleashed his aura.

A calm, relaxed look.

-Thrilled. Excited.

Her heart began to race frantically at the thought of it.

Nono, no, no, no. I cant allow myself to fall in love with Kane again after everything that happened.

Its not polite for me to like Kane, who is trying to start over again after not seeing how much effort he put in over the holidays.

She slowly closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. It somehow calmed her racing heart.

But then she thought of Kane again, self-rationalizing that it was one last time.

***

As soon as the class was over, I left the room with no further delay.

I need to get out before he starts another argument.

I dont want to be in the lecture room for nothing, and get beaten up by him.

In the first place, the power I just demonstrated was merely to make my tiny grain of aura look convincing by using the power of Impact Manipulation. That is all.

[Goddess of Destiny says you seem to be getting better at acting].

I think so too.

I think my acting skills are probably better than most actors on earth.

Anyway, thats not the point.

If he wants to argue with me, I can always deal with that. But what matters now is why the butterfly effect happened.

Why did it suddenly change from the original? Theres obviously no reason for it.

Is it because Constellation came to me? Hmmm.

I dont think so.

In the first place, it doesnt really make a difference whether you have the Constellation or not at this point. During the school holidays, the Constellation doesnt provide much support to Kim Soo-yong. And Im giving that support to Kim Soo-yong anonymously now.

In the end, theres no reason for it to differ much from the original.

I walked nervously to his class, to see what might be the case.

Where is Kim Soo-yong now?

I ask, grabbing one of the students in the class, and he looks surprised.

Uh, uh. Professor said he was hospitalised.

Hospitalised?

I frown when I hear that. The student in front of me looks at the distant mountains as if he thinks Im upset because of him.

Well, he was injured while doing adventuring work during the school holidays, and I believe he went to the academy hospital.

He then proceeds to tell me point by point. I nodded and thanked him.

Okay, thanks.

After receiving my thanks, he blinked at me with a look that said, What did I hear?

I ignored the reaction. I walked quickly to the hospital where Kim Soo-yong was admitted.

I dont understand, obviously nothing about the original was touched except for me surviving.

According to my expectations, it should flow exactly like a love affair.

[Goddess of Destiny is surprised that Kim Soo Yong got beat up].

And Im not the only one surprised.

Honestly, he isnt someone who would get beaten up by anyone. Even Constellation is surprised.

Lets go. Thinking about it doesnt give me an answer. I need to go and talk to him, but what if he doesnt want to cooperate with Kane?

Now that I think about it, Im not so sure about the relationship between Kim Soo-yong and Kane. In the first semester, theres no mention of Kane in the original story.

The only time he appears is as an extra villain during the school holidays, and then afterwards, hes not mentioned except for a brief mention by Eileen.

Never mind, Ill figure it out when I get there. Its not like hes going to kill me for visiting him, and he doesnt even know Im the boss of the guild he destroyed.

As I walked along, I arrived at the hospital. I quickly walked inside without taking a moment to admire the building.

Room 508, was it?

As expected of a state-funded Royal Academy, the building has a warp gate.

I entered the warp gate on the first floor and headed to the second floor.

I arrived at the door of Room 508.

I knocked on the door with no delay.

-Knock, knock, knock.

Yes, please come in.

Hearing his words, I opened the door.

Kim Soo-yongs eyes widened as he looked at me, his whole body wrapped up like a mummy except for his face, indicating that he was more seriously injured than I thought.

Hes really seriously injured.

[Goddess of Destiny says that she hasnt seen Kim Soo Yong in a long time and it feels strange to see him injured like that].

Then go to him. Now.

When Im saying to myself, Get lost, to Constellation. Kim Soo-yong stammers before opening his mouth.

Yes. Why are here?

W? I heard you were hospitalised after clearing out the Dark Guild from my familys estate.

That should be a good enough excuse.

Theres nothing to be said for the arrival of a hero who, if nothing else, captured a bunch of human s*um (not me and not Riche, of course) from his familys territory.

As expected, Kim Soo-yong also kept his mouth shut to avoid saying anything.

Why are you injured anyway? If youre supported by my family, you must have a lot of equipment and potions, right?

Well, yeah, but you your atmosphere has changed a lot, eh?

I nodded at his question.

People do change, by the way, just answer my question.

Okay. Well, I dont mind telling you, but I got scammed.

Huh? Scammed?

I tilted my head, unable to make sense of the words. Kim Soo-yong blushed as if he was embarrassed by what he was saying.

No. What kind of scam would hurt you so much?

Huh Apparently, a vendor no, a scammer was selling a physical enhancement potion in your territory.

Hmm? What? Somethings wrong? No. Potions that temporarily increase physical abilities arent common, but its not like they dont sell them.

While I was in denial, Kim continued.

The potion the scammer sold me was supposed to use divine power to increase my physical strength, so I asked an acquaintance and got it, so I believed it and went to ask for a job to catch a monster that was a bit stronger than me. Well, thats it.

Is this supposed to have a butterfly effect? What the heck?

I couldnt hear what he was saying. He must be shouting something, but I couldnt help but laugh inwardly at the absurdity of his current situation.

Thats why-.

I see, I understand what happened.

Just thinking about it makes my head bleed. I feel like Im going to lose my reason. Its unforgivable, even for a man with a heart as big as the sky.

Dont worry. Ill talk to my father and catch that cheating b*stard.

I must never forgive those who play tricks with potions.

There must be more than one.

Lets get this straight.

According to him, this was about the time I was doing legitimate business.

By then, the Shadow Guild had been destroyed.

It was none other than Kim Soo-yong who destroyed the guild.

And those people were the ones who were making deals with the Shadow Guild.

No way?!

Are those scammers from the Church?!
