I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

Kenneth, who briefly appeared at the academy. As soon as the next day came, he set off for Heartron Dungeon with the search party.

The fact that Keynes had gone down to the basement of the Heartron Dungeon the other day was being controlled by Ryard.

Is it because of that?

Kayneth looked as surprised as possible as he went downstairs. Like someone coming down here for the first time.

and… … .

“Captain, over here… … .”

Two of the three students missing over three days were found. No, to be precise, I should say that it is a body part that is presumed to belong to two people.

“… … It’s terrible.”

“Anyway, to the Witchbeast… … .”

Several monsters inhabited the basement of the dungeon. Various monsters that Keynes had not yet discovered.

No, rather than not finding it, it would be more correct to say that the Demonic Beasts, who had been hiding in the energy of Kravey, gradually revealed themselves.

And the only things found by the search team were a slender right arm and a rag presumed to be a male student’s uniform. The right arm was also found badly damaged.

“Were there two girls and one boy among the missing students?”

The captain of the 2nd Investigation Unit wrapped the right arm and rags of the school uniform, presumably a woman’s, in a white cloth and put them in a subspace pocket.

“Where is Viscount Ardennes now?”

“It must have moved to the opposite passage with the 7th Search Party.”

At the agent’s answer, the captain frowned for a moment.

“… … damn.”

The search crew slowly escaped the dungeon while subduing the demons.

And let’s take out all the items recovered from the entrance of the dungeon,

“This, this… … .”

Kayneth looked at the damaged arm with trembling eyes.

The stout middle-aged knight, the leader of the 2nd Search Party, lowered his head for a moment, closing his eyes.

“… … We presume it belonged to either Lady Hess or Lady Sophia.”

“Ha, is it just one person?”

“That’s right.”

“then… … !”

The voice of a child as if he had not given up hope.

At that, the middle-aged knight shook his head.

“… … Inside the dungeon, no objects or body believed to belong to Lady Sophia were found. Of course, as the Viscount thinks, there is a chance that Lady Sophia is still alive. but… … .”

The search party found traces of someone subduing the Witchbeast. not one or two

The search team found a whopping five corpses of witches. Because of this, the search team had the possibility that the missing students might be alive.

but… … .

“I have already investigated all of the inside of the dungeon.”

He was sure there was no chance that Sophia was alive.

And the moment he received confirmation of his sister’s death, Keynes knelt on the floor in despair and shed tears.

On the other hand, Endairon, who was watching the scene, made a look of disgust.

-… … You are a great guy too.

He let out a small sigh, but used his ability to make water flow from the corners of Kayneth’s eyes. It shows how she cries over her sister’s death.

And the effect of the acting and directing that Endairon and Keynes showed was truly amazing.

Everyone on the search party turned their heads in silence at Kayneth’s smoke.

and… … .

“… … sorry.”

The 2nd Investigation Team leader bowing his head and apologizing.

to him… … .

‘no. I’m more sorry.’

Keynes felt a little guilty about the middle-aged knight’s sincere apology.

But the smoke didn’t stop. It was for a long time to show everyone that ‘I am sad right now’ while weeping and shedding tears.

And the newly dispatched knight of the Spey One family to keep an eye on Kayneth… … .

Swoop.

“damn… … .”

He stood quietly on top of a tree for a while.

Kenneth kneels on the dirt floor, hugging the slender woman’s right arm and crying.

The knight turned his head while raising his mask up to his nose.

Endairon, who gazed intently at it… … .

-It looks like you’ve been duped.

He told Keynes about the situation.

‘… … .’

Showing off his sparkling performance, Keynes put on a satisfied expression in his heart.

however… … That’s only for a while. He got a little goosebumps. I had never heard of or met a girl named Hess.

To hear the sky collapse while hugging that person’s right arm.

‘… … sorry. Lady Hess.’

Kaynes sent an apology to Lady Hess, who was living happily in heaven, and immediately returned to the island.

* * *

“Sofia-sama must be… … .”

“It looks like Kayneth knelt down on the dirt floor and wept.”

“The Spay One family says they are denying Sophia’s death, saying that the owner of the arm has not yet been properly identified. Even the funeral… … .”

Everyone in the empire was fooled by Kayneth’s acting. Sophia’s disappearance was considered death.

Also, the Spey One family declared that they would not hold Sophia’s funeral until accurate evidence was found, as if denying the reality.

The Hwanggun, who was conducting an investigation into Narak’s Dungeon and Heartron’s Dungeon, completed the investigation within a month without obtaining any significant results.

Meanwhile, the academy has stopped all practical evaluations conducted in dungeons.

Even Kayneth’s score, which had already been perfect, had become zero.

There were quite a few students who were dissatisfied with that, but the academy did not twitch an eyebrow despite the students’ strong opposition.

“Damn it, anyway, this isn’t it!”

“Still, they said that all the students in the practical skills test this time received low scores. The A-class cut-off won’t be that high.”

“Still, the fact that I get this kind of score… … !”

Students swearing while looking at the performance evaluation scores displayed in the hallway.

In response to their complaints, the Vice-Chancellor of the Academy summoned the professors in charge of the magic and swordsmanship departments and pointed them out.

“Aren’t you too picky about scoring?”

The scores of the students hit the floor to record the lowest level ever, and the vice president had no choice but to notice from the parents of the students.

Nevertheless, the professors had no choice but to open their mouths with bitter expressions.

“According to the school’s practical evaluation standards, these scores are not wrong. In the meantime, the first practical evaluation was a test that students could easily take the score.”

The first practical evaluation where four people form a group and get points.

If even one of the group members had a special talent, the students included in the group could naturally receive high scores even if they lacked their abilities. That is the structure of the 1st practical skills evaluation system that has been maintained so far.

However, when the first practical evaluation was canceled, the academy derived a score by integrating the second practical evaluation with the canceled first practical evaluation.

The structure of 50 points in the first practical test and 50 points in the second practical test became a structure in which 100 points were obtained in the second practical test.

“To tamper with the score set by the magic tool… … .”

“However, there is a possibility that controversy may arise in various ways if the subjective parts of professors are reflected. Of course, by next semester, I plan to improve the system inside the magic tool so that I can set a slightly higher score.”

Hearing the professors’ remarks, the vice president let out a small sigh and put his right hand on his forehead.

“… … But there were students who got 100 points.”

“Yes, the 6th grade standard is 97 points, but on the system set for the 1st to 5th grade standards, Keynes’ ability is set at 100 points. He should be called one of the greatest geniuses of the Rabadian Empire’s history.”

Kayneth’s ability made even magic tools recognized.

The vice-chancellor burst into laughter.

“If you are evaluated at 100 points in all aspects of magic casting speed, power, and efficiency, and are talented enough to cast 4th circle magic in succession… … . He’s certainly on par with the greatest geniuses of all time.”

In general, in order to cast the second spell after casting the first spell, preparations were required in many ways.

The mana discharged outside the body while using the first magic.

To replenish it, circulating mana in the body at high speed was evaluated as one of the most important abilities for wizards.

Two things are required for this task.

It was to understand the theory of magic accurately and to move the mana in the body freely as if it were one’s own body.

However, in the case of Keynes, as if the process had been omitted, the second… … Then, the third spell was cast.

From noble mtl dot com

That’s the 4th circle magic.

“also… … You are the blood of the Spey One family.”

“Among all the students of the Spey One family, he is definitely a unique student. It is said that now they have become independent from the Spey One family and have established a family called Arden… … .”

“The Spey One family must always be with Arden. There is no change in the fact that Spey One’s influence will grow even bigger.”

The Vice-Chancellor didn’t like Spey One’s mighty power.

The professors also couldn’t express themselves because of the behavior of the students of the Spey One family.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t carelessly touch the score set by the magic tool.”

“Professor Eliken is worthy of your word.”

The professors’ comments were right.

The vice-chancellor nodded once, and then burst into a small laugh.

“… … Who the hell brought the nickname ‘the incompetent child of the Spey One family’ and attached it… … . It’s really funny.”

The conversation about the practical evaluation that resumed like that.

As a result, there was no change in the practical evaluation score.

The highest score in the first semester practical evaluation for 2nd to 6th graders is in the range of 60 to 70.

On the other hand, in the first year, Keynes proudly received 100 points, bringing surprise to the academy once again.

“Huh… … . First place is 100 points, second place is 64 points?”

“There is a difference of 36 points between first and second place, right? What kind of cases do you have?”

“… … In the first place, it’s even more strange to take the first year practical test with Kayneth’s ability.”

“I heard from my seniors that with Kaynes-kun’s skills, he would have gotten 100 points in the 3rd year practical evaluation test. I just heard that Keynes is so special that he only appears once every few decades?”

Students muttering dissatisfaction with their low scores.

However, after checking Keynes’ performance evaluation score, they began to burst into astonishment. He scored 100 in both the midterm and practical evaluations of the first semester.

Is it because of that? The students looked at him like a monster.

However, among those gazes, there was also some sadness mixed in.

“If Sophia sunbaenim hadn’t been through that kind of thing… … .”

“I think a lot of the smile has disappeared from Kayneth’s face.”

“Every time I see you trying so hard to smile, it really hurts my heart.”

“Who the hell did that nonsense… … . No, more than that, why did you finish the investigation already?”

The classmates couldn’t help but look bitter whenever they saw Kayneth’s awkward smile.

However, as time passed, the assassination of Sophia gradually faded from people’s memories.

It’s just that he’s careful when dealing with Kayneth.

The existence of Sofia slowly began to disappear from the students’ minds.

but… … Despite the fact that more than a month has passed since the assassination, there was a woman who lived each day happily with Sophia’s death.

“Kuhhhhh… … . I don’t know who it is, but is it really good at catching pests? Parasites of such low bloodlines must be eradicated quickly! Kenneth, that bug, too… … .”

As soon as she was expelled from the academy, Serene immediately returned to her hometown.

When she heard the news of her breakup with Crown Prince Regalus E Labadian, she went on a rampage like a madman.

Then he locked himself in his bedroom and cursed Sophia and Keynes with resentment.

Did her wish come true?

Sophia and Kayneth were clearly threatened in many ways. Of course, there was nothing wrong with Keynes, but Sophia is missing… … . Furthermore, the possibility of death was being discussed.

“Kuhhhhh… … . Kenneth, you die too. Come on, follow that nasty bug… … .”

Serene giggled as she cut the dolls in the bedroom with scissors and a knife.

Seeing her like that, the maids got goosebumps.

The maids, who started running down the corridor as if running away, reported Seline’s life moment by moment to Celia H.

“Whoa… … .”

Celia let out a long sigh at the maids’ report.

And then, as if resigned to something, he quietly closed his eyes.

Episode 61

61. Smoke (3)

“Serine is insane, and Sophia is dead too… … . The only thing left now is Millien.”

“The head of the household also showed signs of trying to promote the engagement of Lady Milien and His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Celia nodded as if it were natural.

“Yeah, that should be it. Rather, after Ellen takes over as the head of the household, I must hurry up and clean up the trash in this mansion.”

Long golden hair glistened in the sun.

Soon, her red eyes turned to the teacup.

As if to calm her complicated mind, she lifted her teacup and took a sip of the tea water.

“By the way, how is Delt doing these days?”

At her question, the maid hesitated for a moment and hesitated to answer.

Then Celia looked at the maid and gave a warm smile.

“Tell me.”

“That is… … .”

The maid conveyed Delt’s academy life intact.
