Chapter 123 – 123. Fake
“Do you mind if I take a moment?”
“Whoa! Professor Erica!”
Professor Per Petra is startled when he sees Erica Bright entering the lab.
She waved the prosthetic hand she had been fiddling with earlier and greeted Erica.
“hello! Joe, good morning!”
“Yes, that’s right. “I’m sorry, but can I talk to Professor Deius for a moment?”
At Erica’s gentle request, Professor Per immediately goes outside, his pink hair flowing.
“How can you hear a sloshing sound rather than the sound of footsteps when a person runs?”
Findenai, who was making tea next to me, clicked his tongue as he looked at Professor Per’s hideous chest.
When I glared at him angrily, Findeneye shrugged his shoulders, took out a cigarette from his arms, and put it in his mouth.
“I went to smoke a joint.”
Finden Eye thought he had quit smoking, but soon started smoking again. Maybe he didn’t like it when he didn’t bother to smoke it even though he had the tobacco I gave him?
“Well, I’m going too.”
Owen, who was helping Professor Per, also goes out making a fuss. Ever since she found out that Erica was my fiancee, she seemed to have developed an obsession not to disturb their time together.
“What’s going on?”
Since I don’t have any lectures today, I’m not too busy because I plan to do research with Dark Spirit Love using the research equipment I ordered earlier.
The sense of urgency flowing from Erica’s expression when she came to see me envelopes me.
“Aria is truant from class.”
“… … .”
At those words, my eyebrows furrow involuntarily.
Aria is absent?
She knows that I like her to be a student, so she is trying to remain a student as much as possible.
That’s the only reason I stay in the academy where there’s nothing to learn.
“I thought something was strange because he didn’t show up in my lecture, so I checked. “After your lecture on Monday, I haven’t been to any classes.”
If an average student were to say that he or she did not attend class, they would just say that.
There are surprisingly many students who skip school, simply want to have fun, or oversleep.
Since students live in a dormitory and choose to listen to lectures on their own, accidents occur due to high autonomy.
But there’s no way Aria wouldn’t come out with such a trivial impulse.
“I guess I should go.”
I felt like I should go to the dormitory.
“I’m going with you too. “It’s a women’s dormitory, so a female professor will have to accompany you.”
Erica offered to accompany us as if she had been waiting, and we headed to the women’s dormitory.
Even though it was 10 a.m., there were still many students in the dormitory.
Since the lecture times are different for each student, some students do not attend lectures in the morning and choose to attend lectures in the afternoon, or make one day off.
The female students were not very happy to see me, a male professor, entering the room, but since Erica was snuggling next to them, they just said hello and passed by.
“It wouldn’t have happened without me, right?”
“Yeah, I see.”
Certainly, if it weren’t for Erica, we would have been blocked several times before reaching Aria’s door and it would have taken a lot of time.
smart.
“aria? “Are you inside?”
Erica knocks and asks. But there was no answer from inside, so I glanced at the dark spirit next to me.
The dark spirit showed that he was a ghost and just peeked his head into the door.
and.
[De, de, Deius?! What kind of situation is this? … .]
A dark spirit who calls out loudly. I immediately put on my mana and forced the doorknob to get in.
There, floating in the air, was Aria cross-legged.
Ungi Jo-sik’s posture often appears in martial arts novels. Throughout the room, mana was swinging violently like a whip, rejecting our approach.
“W-what’s going on?”
Erica was looking at me as if she was looking for an answer, but I couldn’t help but wonder what Aria’s intentions were for doing this.
As I saw mana gradually starting to leak out of the door, I thought I had to stop.
Did they feel that we were popular?
Aria deliberately begins to slowly withdraw mana back into herself, but soon becomes completely quiet and slowly falls to the floor.
“professor?”
Aria suddenly opens her eyes and tilts her head to look at me. She was next to Erica without even giving her a glance.
“What’s going on here?”
Aria looks like she really doesn’t know. Since he wasn’t going to lie to me, I thought he didn’t know what the problem was.
“I heard you haven’t been to class for two days now.”
“Yes?!”
Aria’s eyes widen in surprise and asks Erica if it’s real. Sighing her head, Erica nodded her head.
“Yeah, your grade is in trouble now.”
Erica, who thought it was no big deal, spoke lightly, and Aria muttered to herself and scratched her head.
“Has it been that long? “I think it’s only been about 30 minutes.”
“Ha, Aria. “What on earth were you doing?”
What on earth did I do to make two days feel like 30 minutes, and what was the flow of mana that was hitting everywhere just now?
An explanation was needed.
“Oh that. I feel like there’s something strange about my body. “I’ve been having frequent headaches lately, so I tried purifying my internal mana and body waste.”
Is something like that even possible?

I really thought I could do something similar to Moorim’s Ungi Josik. I remember that in the game it was just a matter of resting, but there were no skills like that.
“sorry. “I’ll go straight to the lecture now.”
Aria tidied up her disheveled hair and, while looking at me, immediately grabbed her notebook and tried to leave.
I figured it wasn’t a big deal after all, so Erica and I waited outside the door for Aria.
The moment Aria, who had roughly packed her bags, came out the door and passed us.
Thick flesh came out and stabbed towards Erica. In an instant, a right hand filled with speculation came in, aimed precisely at my neck.
Quang!
“Ugh!”
[My, I saved it!]
If the dark spirit hadn’t used mana to push me, I would have ended up in the same situation as Erica, who was grabbed by the neck and thrown against the wall.
A heavy breathing sound comes out from the corner of Aria’s mouth as she tries to suppress Erica and me at the same time.
Aria is glaring at me with anger and hostility while holding down the struggling Erika.
“Who are you.”
“what are you talking about.”
I frowned at the unexpected question, but started looking for a way to save Erica.
If things are not right, Erica’s neck will be broken by Aria’s hands.
Although it was a sudden situation, it was dangerous to panic or get excited, so I asked calmly.
Aria’s words were enough to confuse me.
“Professor, where have you gone? How dare you disguise yourself as a professor in front of me? “Don’t you think you only have one life?”
“Calm down, Arya. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it’s me. Deius Verdi.”
I make a blue flame burn in the palm of my hand. The necromancer’s flame.
I hoped that this flame, which only a necromancer could create, would act as proof that I was me.
Aria gritted her teeth with a disgusted sneer.
“Seeing as he’s a warlock, I guess he’s Dante? Have you come for revenge? “I warned you, Professor, that if you touch anything, I’ll kill you.”
I felt dizzy even standing there due to the heavy death of the returnees that surrounded the entire hallway.
“Come to your senses. According to common sense, how could Dante’s warlock infiltrate the academy?”
“I don’t know. But you did it now.”
Aria’s hands become stronger. The more Erica struggled, the more she struggled.
Pretending to struggle, Erica places her palm in front of Aria.
Golden light pouring down.
Aria’s body literally floated and flew through another door behind her, breaking the window and being pushed out.
It is not a simple magic of light, but a suppressive magic mixed with spirits.
“Huh! “Huh!”
Erica was holding her neck and gasping for breath, and I patted her on the shoulder and told her good job, then immediately ran after Aria.
Likewise, he jumps out the window and lands easily with mana wrapped around his body.
Even though she was hit hard by Erica’s magic, Aria’s vision was briefly blurred and she quickly came to her senses.
“Aria, are you coming to your senses?”
Aria grits her teeth and replies with still hostility to my words.
“I told you not to pretend to be a professor.”
“Hehe, I am the real Deius. “The Kim Shin-woo you know.”
I didn’t really like saying my original name in this body, but I needed to trust Aria first.
She suddenly thought I was someone else.
“Yes, I will admit that they look similar. “I don’t know how you know the professor’s real name, but you are definitely a fake.”
I feel a sharp shock spreading through my head. I thought I had seen something exactly like Aria’s reaction somewhere.
A moment of concern.
To the extent that even I was surprised, my brain spit out an answer to me so quickly.
“no way… … .”
Cheeeeeek!
Aria’s left foot slides on the ground and her strides widen. Since she doesn’t have a sword, she takes a stance, probably thinking she’s going to use martial arts to fight me.
“Do you know that the play you did cost you your life?”
“aria.”
“Shut up, I know they look similar. “You are not a professor.”
“From now on, listen to me carefully.”
Why did she change like this?
I’m not sure yet, but the symptoms were almost identical to those I knew.
This is not knowledge gained from the game, nor is it common sense learned on this continent.
Earth knowledge.
Was it a simple trivia book I read before?
Or maybe you saw it on a TV program?
Or did I just accidentally remember something someone told me?
anyway.
“I suspect you have symptoms similar to Capgras syndrome.”
Capgras syndrome.
A symptom of believing that a person you were close to has changed into a ‘different’ person who looks exactly the same.
When they look at their family, they believe that it is someone other than their real family in disguise, and in extreme cases, they even see themselves in the mirror as strangers.
“I’m sick?”
I take a deep breath and continue speaking cautiously to Aria, who looks at me with suspicious eyes.
“It’s okay, just stay calm and take deep breaths. “I will help you.”
For some reason, it is not yet clear, but Aria is currently suffering from Capgras Syndrome.
So I tried to calm down as much as possible.
“after.”
Aria raised the corners of her mouth and clenched her fists tightly.
“You really speak like a professor.”
