Chapter 15

I-Ian?

Ian looked down at the gloomy woman in front of him without saying a word.

Aria Lumines Bell.

One of the few characters with the Divine Attribute attributes in Fanta X Aca.

If raised well, she had the overwhelming potential to grow into a powerful divine heroine, with a potential to become a saint.

This is the worst.

He thought to himself.

Aria was a heroine who didnt want to make contact with anyone, and the reason was simple.

Her unstable mental state.

Fanta X Aca had microtransactions specific to each heroine, and in Arias case, it was her Mental State.

Players had to take care of her fragile mental state with various items and attention.

The cause was the bullying and harassment she endured in her childhood.

As she aspired to become a saint candidate and tried to overcome it, her mental state suddenly deteriorated at some point.

The reason for this was unknown

It was probably because of Pongpong.

Ian recalled the contents of Pongpongs Love Journal.

The first sentence of Arias part in the love diary was quite shocking.

Me and Aria are childhood friends.

This fact had never been revealed in the game.

The diary contained stories about their childhood.

Aria, who was born into a somewhat poor family and confined to her room.

The story of how Pongpong, a noble, approached her first.

The contents included how Pongpong took care of Arias mental state and how they grew together.

It was written there that Pongpong took care of Aria with all his heart.

What to do when shes anxious, what to do when shes restless.

What board games she likes, what fairy tales she enjoys. Details like that.

Of course, the ending of the journal was not clear.

Because confessing to Aria and being rejected was the last page.

It was almost NTR level, wasnt it?

Ian tilted his head, recalling the contents of the love journal.

Anyway.

She was the heroine I wanted to avoid the most.

Unstable mental state.

Its like a fragile piece of glass that could shatter from any direction.

She even wanted to forget the memories of the past.

This is enough motivation to push Pongpong.

As if in a scene from a romantic comedy, their intertwined hands were not welcome.

Ian gently pushed Arias hand away.

!

She was startled, her eyes widened, but he ignored her.

Then he took out [Hero Daves Chronicles].

And placed it in Arias hand.

Im sorry.

Unfortunately, Arias childhood friend, Ian Blackangers, was no longer there.

It was a sincere apology.

He had nothing more to say to Aria.

Aria blankly accepted the book Ian handed her.

Im sorry.

She just stared blankly at his departing figure.

Then she looked down at the book again.

[Hero Daves Chronicles]

Why.

Aria couldnt understand.

Why.

Why would he just ignore this fairy tale book that he knew meant something and leave like that?

Whenever she was struggling, he used to read this book to her.

But why

With a soft thud, tears suddenly flowed down.

Im sorry

Ians eyes were incredibly cold.

His eyes were colder than ever before.

Im becoming dependent again without even realizing it.

Aria shook her head.

Pushing Ian away was her decision.

From the moment she rejected his confession, she made a promise.

Because I wanted to.

She wanted Ian to stay away from her.

She wanted to forget all about her dark past.

When Ian had fallen, shed felt a small part of her relieved.

But

That was because she wanted to forget her past

Now that he had returned, and was looking at her so coldly.

Did he find out?

Had he discovered her hidden feelings for him?

It was difficult.

Everything was too complicated.

Her mind felt muddled, as if various shapes were stabbing her head.

Whats an undergrad club?

He touched the frontmost tab.

Instantly, various chat rooms available for access appeared.

Oh, interesting.

It felt like handling a tablet made of ink, in a way.

[Mezai]

[Journalism Department]

[Inquiries for Joining the Council]

[Mezai Haters Club]

This time, he ventured into the free club forum.

There, several lists popped up, indicating it was more active.

[Continental Cat Association (23/50)]

[The Classy Species (9/10)]

[ Earlings Acting Up Haha (3/100)]

[S*xy Images Collection (99/100)]

[Looking for a Roommate (1/2)]

[Deep in the Shadow Forest 6-man Party, Only Missing You (2/6)]

[Emilia Fan Club (78/100)]

Oh, wow.

When theres only one spot left in a room, it makes you want to enterthe law of human nature.

He instinctively grabbed his moving hand urgently.

And then, there was the noticeable Emilia Fan Club.

Certainly, like a famous upperclassmans, she gave off the impression of being a celebrity.

The last tab is

In the modern community style, there was a familiar Forum tab.

It even had a search function.

Naturally, this called for some ego-searching.

[Ian] (Search Results: 100+)

Oh.

A considerable number of results appeared.

Of course, most of them were insults.

But among the recent posts, there were some that were not.

[Has Ian really gotten better recently? (24)]

With anticipation, Ian clicked on the title of the post.

A page turned as if a piece of paper was changing, and the ink rose.

No, really, he has changed a lot these days, including his eyes. Recently, he took first place in practical training. Something seems to have changed, hasnt it?

[]: This seems to be going viral, Ian.

Seriously, lolololol

Ian took a week off, and now hes back to working part-time.

[Anonymous 23]: Ian, welcome~

[Lawbreaker]: Ugh, its Ian!

Stop with the hate, use nicer words.

Yeah, what can we do with this [expletive]?

What a mess.

Most of the comments were insults and suspicions.

But it was fascinating that there was someone whose perception was changing like this.

As expected, when you focus on yourself, other peoples views gradually change too.

By the way, rumors were starting to spread.

[(New!) What happened when Ian jumped? There was a rumor going around about the disciplinary committee (3)]

After checking that post, Ian leaned back on the sofa.

A disciplinary committee, huh.

The disciplinary committee took quite some time from its formation to convening. Thats because each student at the Lichten Academy had a significant presence.

Ian, as well as the culprit, had time to prepare.

If I were the culprit, Id probably try to gather the heroines.

The reason for forging four suicide notes in such a complicated manner was evident.

Assuming the worst-case scenario, where the crime could be traced back to them, they had hidden themselves as much as possible.

It was well-planned and meticulous.

So, he was convinced.

Certainly, the culprit would gather the heroines to act together.

I can use that to my advantage.

If he could bring just one of the heroines to his side, he could use her like a spy.

The need to be more proactive became apparent.

A scenario that could shake the Academy was unfolding.

Confusion. There must be a way to use it.

The corners of Ians mouth rose.

Meanwhile.

9 PM.

Prominent names began to appear in Kirtoss login history.

[Lina has logged in.]

[Sharon has logged in.]

[Aria has logged in.]

[Emilia has logged in.]

However, their names disappeared from the log shortly after.

It meant a private anonymous chat room had been opened.
