Damn Necromancer (78)
Second Arrangement (4)
I left the whispering students behind and sat down next to Marchen.
“Okay, thank you… … .”
“Are you eating that strange lunch box today too?”
“… … yes?”
“You know what. I just added one whole potato. “Are you going to eat that?”
Marchen’s face turned red.
“Well, how did you… … .”
“I saw it. by chance.”
There is a separate restaurant, but we always ate in hiding.
So I followed along and took a look.
I felt quite sad that I was only eating whole potatoes.
“Let’s eat together today. “I will buy it for you.”
“No, it’s okay…” … .”
“Write it. People should eat well and live well. “Just follow me.”
I was just wondering for a moment.
She followed quietly and stood in front of the restaurant. Numerous food models were seen between the menu boards.
“Take your pick. “With 5 silver or more.”
It felt like 1 silver was roughly 10,000 won. Fortunately, this guy Cairn had a lot of money.
Even if it wasn’t there, it didn’t matter.
If you take out miscellaneous items from your inventory and sell them, they are silver and gold.
Perhaps because nobles were the main users, the price of a meal became steeper as you went up. Nevertheless, nobles who ate cheap food were rare.
It is a kind of cost of maintaining dignity.
“Well, I’m really fine… … .”
“You like meat, right? “Then how about that one?”
He pointed to a large piece of beef stew filled with meat on the model.
gulp.
I heard the sound of swallowing.
also.
I’ve rarely seen anyone who doesn’t like meat. The same was true for Marchen.
I ordered the menu. After waiting for a while, a stew with plenty of meat came out just like the model. It was a bonus that they provided us with plenty of vegetables to help us stay healthy.
“eat.”
First, I scooped up the stew and put it in my mouth.
A soft and rich meat flavor spread.
‘It’s delicious.’
Marchen, who was watching this, also began to eat the stew hungrily.
The happy smile that appeared seemed to suit my taste.
Well, this is probably a hundred times better than whole potatoes. I asked when I was almost finished eating the stew.
“Is academy life very difficult?”
“Whoop! “Yes, yes?”
“I asked if it was difficult.”
“Gwae, it’s okay.”
“It doesn’t look good to me.”
“… … .”
She was silent, staring at the stew.
Marchen immediately raised his head and asked.
“Is this why you helped me?”
“What does this mean?”
“… … This is what Cairn is doing to me right now. “Are you going to mock a beggar by buying him food as if he were a beggar?”
“It’s not a mockery.”
“… … “Then why are you asking that?”
The corners of his eyes became extremely gloomy, as if the bright eyes that had been eating the stew just a moment ago were a lie.
“If I say I’m having a hard time, does anything change?”
“yes. “There will be a lot.”
“no. no. “If that’s the case, I’m just a half-finner who doesn’t get the support that everyone else gets.”
It’s sponsorship.
I heard that students at the academy are actively seeking sponsorship.
Usually, the higher the noble title of the parent and the higher the talent, the more donations the child receives.
In that sense, there was no room for support to come to Marchen.
A commoner and half a wizard.
Because it was no different from throwing money on the street.
“You’re clumsy.”
“… … I beg your pardon?”
“I didn’t solidify my pride, nor did I completely abandon it. “I haven’t given up on being a wizard, nor am I burning with passion.”
“… … .”
“I may not know anything else, but I know one thing for sure. “A person who is neither one nor the other will ultimately become nothing.”
Marchen asked with his lips clenched.

“What do you know about me… … .”
“If I was going to give up my pride, I would have asked for help because I was having a hard time. “If I had stopped, I wouldn’t have gotten food in the first place.”
He spoke to her who seemed speechless.
“If I was going to give up being a wizard, I would have already left or looked into something else. If I had been burned, I would have risked my life trying to manifest. But, that wasn’t the case at all.”
It was exactly the behavior of that age group.
It’s all clumsy.
In other words, they are unable to choose and concentrate.
“… … “It’s very expensive for just getting one meal.”
“no. “I am paying the price to you.”
Minwoo Kim said with a serious face.
“I go around clumsily caring about others, so I end up in a lot of debt, clumsily getting into trouble, and clumsily holding on to my dreams. So is your life better than before?”
“Then what are you going to do with me? I’m just a commoner with no talent! Are you telling me to resist the nobles? “Should I give up on the academy I’ve already been to?”
“If I were you, I would have either succeeded or died already. Also, he must have fought with the nobles a long time ago.”
“Ha, easier said than done.”
“It’s not easy, so you have to do it. Why do you live like that? Commoner? Because you have no talent? “These are all excuses.”
“I told you. “I can’t use any magic.”
“You can still fight. no?”
Marchen was speechless.
“If you fight, will those bitches kill you? Are you going to get expelled from the academy for ruining a commoner? no? Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t do that, right? “At most, I’ll probably break some limbs.”
“… … .”
“Don’t you think that it’s better to be a crazy bitch who just rolls her eyes and runs wild than an idiot who stays still?”
“You know this well because you are also a noble. If I resist, my family will be in danger… … .”
Minwoo Kim chuckled.
“Are you really just thinking about that? “Isn’t it just because you’re scared?”
“… … Why are you saying it so definitively? “What are you going to do if that’s really the case?”
“If you were really staying quiet for your family, then you wouldn’t be so stupid in the first place. Those kids have venom in their eyes. “He must have risked his life for the apparition.”
Marchen bit her lip.
Actually, Minwoo Kim knew it too.
It’s very difficult to expect that level of action from a girl of Marchen’s age.
‘So what should I do?’
There is no reason why this side should understand that.
Helping Marchen?
In fact, it’s too easy.
We give them donations, ask them if they are coming, stop bullying, become friends, and play with them.
That’s it.
That’s a very easy way.
But is there a good reward waiting for something that both dogs and cows can do?
At least Gate Hunter is not such an unreasonable game.
You get as much as you roll.
That’s the law of this world.
The easy way and the hard way.
Minwoo Kim was a gamer who most likely chose the latter.
It was like that this time too.
No matter how much you try, the fundamentals will not change in the end. Even if I do that, this side will eventually disappear.
‘It’s just happiness that will disappear like foam.’
In order for Marchen to truly change, he ultimately had to change himself, not by others.
You must be able to fill your self-esteem, think, and act proactively.
That’s the way to be truly happy.
In order to change from the root, you first had to shake up the inside.
That was the reason he spoke bitterly.
“Let’s just look at the situation. Do you measure this and that? “I don’t think so.”
“… … I enjoyed the food. “I’ll just leave.”
Marchen got up and left the restaurant. She didn’t bother holding on.
Now that we’ve got the first topic out of the way.
Now it was time to watch what happened next.
* * *
Marchen walked with long strides.
I bit my lip so hard that blood came out.
cairn.
He was a truly rude person.
But what really pisses me off.
It was a pathetic sight of myself, unable to even give a proper rebuttal to his words.
Since when did life become this twisted?
What if you were born as a commoner rather than a noble?
When you took an aptitude test in town?
What if you fail to manifest and fall into the abyss?
When you start taking on debt and overexerting yourself to protect your flimsy pride?
I don’t know.
One thing is certain.
Before he knew it, his life had become so twisted that it was like a tangled skein of thread that he had no intention of untangling.
-You’re clumsy.
Cairn’s words pierced my heart like a dagger.
It was as he said.
He really was neither one nor the other.
She was just a commoner girl who got lucky, nothing more, nothing less.
Then, when she realized that luck was an illusion, she was a foolish girl who completely broke down.
Have you worked hard enough to kill yourself?
no.
All I did was follow other people’s classes and whine in the library.
If that is effort, it can be seen as effort. However, it was definitely not at a level that could be described as ‘deadly enough’.
-Isn’t it just because you’re scared?
Yes, it was because I was scared.
family?
Born as the fifth child, he was pushed aside by other children and was not even treated as a proper child. He was just treated as a tool to be sold.
His father, a peasant, had his eyes turned red because he was trying to sell himself to an old nobleman.
The mother was also the same.
If she hadn’t taken the aptitude test, Marchen would have been the concubine of some pot-bellied nobleman by now.
You endured it for your family?
Marchen smiled bitterly.
‘Sick bitch.’
Honestly, it was something I just said.
I’m not that bad of a bitch.
I guess I did it because I had my own thoughts. She felt like she had to make an excuse to Cairn, who seemed to be able to see right through her heart.
I knew I was already at rock bottom.
I just faced it once more today. But why does my heart ache so much?
I was at a point where I had no idea what was going on.
It was then.
“Hey, half a penny.”
A familiar voice came from somewhere. When I turned around, I saw a familiar face.
Dolores.
And even the ladies under his command.
Five women started coming towards her.
In particular, Dolores’ eyes were wide open.
“If you can’t do magic, just quietly turn off. There’s not much time left until you’re expelled, so you’ve decided to go after the guy and get caught up with him? uh?”
“Oh, my lady. As you know. Where can the vulgar blood go?”
“That’s right, that’s right. It looks like you want to catch a man and sell him. He’s famous, right? “The ending is obvious.”
I could see the ladies pretending to stop Dolores and subtly supporting her words.
Soon, Dolores came right in front of him and stabbed Marchen’s chest with her finger.
Each time, Marchen was pushed back helplessly.
Of course, we met when I was in a really shitty mood.
Really, it’s a day where nothing happens.
Everything was annoying.
Dolores in front of me, and the two-faced young ladies cackling next to me.
‘What am I holding back for?’
Anyway, like that woman said, I can’t even use magic, so I really need to get out of here sooner or later, right?
Is life important?
If you leave the academy anyway, a life like a gutter awaits you.
When I thought about it carefully, there really wasn’t a single reason to endure it.
no.
If I endured this and got expelled, I felt like I would regret it for the rest of my life.
“You lowly bitch. What are you going to do with my hair? Should I kill my whole family? uh? If only I told my dad… … .”
“… … sun.”
“… … what?”
“If you’re going to do it, do it. Just kill them all. “You f*ucking bitch!”
Thump.
Marchen tightly held on to Dolores’ hair, which had turned into a bob.
He started waving his veiny hands wildly. Dolores’ head shook like a balloon doll.
“Ahh!”
“My lady!”
“This crazy bitch has turned around! Won’t you let go?!”
Clearly, all the women gathered here were wizards. But no one thought of using magic.
Not only did I not know that Marchen, who had been living like a fool for a long time, would suddenly do something like this.
This was because it was forbidden to manifest magic on others except during class. The ladies had already become accustomed to the rules.
Eventually the most familiar hand popped out. The ladies grabbed Marchen’s head, neck, shoulders, and arms, pinching and twisting them.
Either way, Marchen, who only held on to Dolores’ hair, clung to her body tenaciously.
“Die, you bitch!”
“Let go! Argh!”
Six women got into a dog fight. It was an instant before students and professors began to flock to the chaos.
