Avoid the Yandere Goddess

As William finished his explanation,

“Now is the time to earn points!”

“Let’s go!”

“Hurry up!”

The students rushed out of the barrier as if the assessment would end in an hour. Soon after, only the professors and teaching assistants remained in the building.

“Phew…”

Kaine sighed deeply and took off his bright red cap. Skaya, seeing this, smiled and then,

“Hey, you’re not doing this for the first time, are you?”

She lightly tapped his side. Kaine stretched his neck and answered her question.

“I just followed what I read in a novel written by an isekai protagonist.”

To be precise, he was following what he had experienced in the military.

“I think you’re cool too, Kaine.”

At that moment, Eileen joined them and suddenly praised Kaine. Skaya narrowed her eyes at her praise.

“Wow. Look at her praising you right away. She’s like a fox.”

“I just said what I thought, Skaya.”

“What? I also think he’s cool.”

Skaya responded with a resentful voice. As the two of them bickered childishly,

“Teaching assistants, gather here!”

Sion, the magic professor, waved for them to come over. The teaching assistants gathered in front of Sion. William handed them black armor and cumbersome-looking helmets.

“This armor has a recognition hindrance magic that will prevent most students from recognizing you.”

At his words, Skaya tilted her head and asked a question.

“Professor, do I have to wear this too?”

“It’s faster to see it than to explain. Try it on.”

William handed the armor and helmet to Skaya instead of answering. Skaya, looking confused, took the armor and put it on over her school uniform. Then,

“Huh? What is this?”

Her eyes widened. William answered her question.

“The armor and helmet not only have recognition hindrance magic but also weight-reducing magic. So, it won’t be much of a burden for a magician like you.”

“Hehe… How did you manage to get such a thing?”

Skaya, who was knowledgeable about magic, was a little surprised. It wasn’t strange for her to react like this. After all, it was rare to find objects with magic imbued in them, and this armor and helmet had two types of magic.

“Stop admiring it and put it on quickly.”

William ignored her words and urged her to change quickly.

Skaya nodded and began to change into the armor over her school uniform. After about five minutes, the group had completely changed. William spoke.

“Then, from now on, you’ll each move separately, and when it’s evening, come back here.”

At his words, the group nodded and left the building.

At the same time, in another place.

Jenny massaged her throbbing temples and sighed deeply. She had a reason to feel this way.

“I didn’t think of this…”

They were already in a crisis.

“Hey! How can you turn today’s food into powder like that!”

“Then you do it, Tomato.”

At that moment, the two of them were arguing as usual. Normally, Jenny would desperately try to stop them, but she understood why they were so sensitive. They couldn’t even get food properly.

‘We need to find food and shelter somehow…’

A sudden crisis had emerged. To be honest, Jenny had been overconfident, thinking that with their superhuman abilities, they could easily find food and shelter. She thought they could hunt animals in the forest for food and make a shelter in a cave or build one with trees. But,

‘I was too careless.’

Yes, even with their superhuman abilities, creating something was a different matter. After all, if it were that easy, why would there be a specialized profession called a constructor?

‘Sigh… No, let’s think positively.’

Most of the students at the Royal Academy were nobles. In other words, they weren’t the only ones facing this situation. In reality, most of the other students also didn’t have any equipment and had never lived in the forest. Jenny, in her mind, rationalized the situation.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, a low voice rang in her ear. The three of them turned their heads.

“Huh? Mark?”

“Kaine’s brother?”

“Uncle?”

Kaine’s other brother, Mark, came into view. And he was holding a bear that was twice the size of a person.

.

.

.

Mark couldn’t help but be puzzled by the three people in front of him. Their eyes looked at him as if he were their savior.

“Mark, that bear looks delicious…”

Willy, who had been hungry since morning, wiped the drool from the corners of her mouth and stared intently at the bear. Mark immediately understood why they were looking at him like that.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you this bear.”

“… you want to abandon your family”

Willy, who usually had a stoic expression, spoke with a serious face. Then, Jenny and Lisanna also,

“That’s right. You can’t just abandon your family like that. We should help each other when we’re in trouble.”

“Kaine’s brother, listen to what they say. Look at your sister’s face. She looks serious, doesn’t she?”

Willy’s words were reinforced by the other two. Mark was at a loss for words. Jenny, well, that was understandable, but Lisanna, who usually bickered with Willy, was now joining forces with her. Mark wanted to ignore the three of them and leave, but…

‘Can I even escape from here?’

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine himself escaping from this situation. Mark sighed deeply and made a proposal.

“Sigh… As Jenny said, I’ll share it with you. I’ll also teach you how to butcher it. But it’s not for free.”

“What do you want?”

At his words, Willy tilted her head and asked. Mark thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

“Boss monster strategy.”

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Kaine, who was playing the role of the boss monster, was taking a break.

“Phew… This is also hard work, really.”

He had thought that he would be having an easy time, but this role was more challenging than expected. Not to mention the thick armor he had to wear under the scorching sun, and the bugs that kept swarming around him in the forest. As a result, he had been bitten by mosquitoes in several places.

[The Goddess of Fate says you look quite tired.]

At that moment, Fate sent a message, looking at him with pity. Kaine shook his head.

“It’s not that bad. I’m just annoyed by these mosquitoes.”

He was just irritated by the mosquitoes buzzing around him. And to begin with,

-Roar!

Knowing this would happen, he had prepared in advance. Kaine took out mosquito potions from his ring of dimensional storage and applied them all over his body. After a while,

‘Then, I guess it’s time to move.’

Kaine, who had applied the potions all over his body, stood up from his seat. Then, he turned up the volume.

-What’s wrong with Kaine today? Did he eat something bad?

-Yeah, he’s been acting weird, like some kind of teaching assistant concept, and he’s been really harsh on the students.

-Tell me about it. My friend said it was really annoying.

His ears rang with his own gossip. Well, anyone can gossip, right? After all, how can anyone live without gossiping?

“Yeah, people can gossip sometimes.”

As Kaine nodded with a kind face, the constellation sent him a message filled with questions.

[The Goddess of Fate asks why you’re going to those who gossip about you.]

“Huh? I’m just going to talk to them?”

Would I really go and beat them up for gossiping about me?

.

.

.

About two hours had passed since the field assessment began. Just two hours. Despite the short time,

“Boss monster! Run!”

“Escape!”

“Damn it!”

For the students, hell had unfolded. And that’s because,

‘Where are the guys who gossiped about me?’

Kaine had been beating up the students who gossiped about him. He looked around and used his detection skill. Then, he sensed a student trembling behind a nearby rock. The student sighed in relief, thinking he hadn’t been noticed.

“Phew… I guess I’m safe?”

“What do you mean by safe?”

“Aaahhh!”

A boss monster in pitch-black armor appeared behind them. The boss monster punched the student on the top of his head.

-Thud!

The student couldn’t dodge the attack and,

-Thud!

He fell to the ground as if he were about to kiss it. The next moment,

-Flash!

Light shone from the bracelet on his wrist, and then he disappeared. Apparently, he had failed the assessment.

“Tsk tsk. Why do people gossip? It’s their own fault.”

[The Goddess of Happiness expresses her surprise at your sudden change of attitude.]

Kaine shrugged and clicked his tongue, and Happiness showed a surprised expression.

‘Why? It’s their fault for gossiping about me. It’s only fair.’

Kaine felt wronged in his mind and turned on his game settings ability. Then,

‘Let’s stop stressing and check on Sien. That guy.’

Kaine used the map view to search for Sien in every corner of the island. Then,

‘Hmm? That’s unexpected.’

Contrary to his expectations, Sien was doing the assessment with his group members. Kaine narrowed his eyes at Sien on the screen, looking suspicious.

‘Hmm. Something seems suspicious…’

At that moment, a sudden assumption popped into his mind. Kaine wanted to confirm if his assumption was correct, so he,

‘Let’s see…’

He moved the viewpoint of the map here and there. After about ten minutes,

“That’s right.”

Kaine looked at the ‘real’ Sien on the screen and raised one corner of his mouth. At the same time, he realized why the Cult had scouted Sien.

‘Seeing this, Sien’s ability is perfect for being a spy.’

His trait was none other than cloning. Therefore, if he wanted to, creating an alibi would be as easy as pie. Of course, people aren’t stupid, so they wouldn’t completely let go of their suspicions, but,

‘But to use such a good ability for that…’

Not only did he betray me, but he was also wasting his ability. Kaine cursed him in his mind.

[Phew… I need to finish this quickly and go kill that guy, Kaine.]

Sien, unaware that Kaine was watching him, smiled triumphantly and gossiped about Kaine. Kaine, hearing his words, stood up from his seat.

“Then, let’s go and ‘wash’ him.”
