Then everything makes sense.

The dark guild was related to the cultists. It’s clear that the cultists deliberately scammed Kim Soo-yong with a potion that looked like holy water, as revenge for Kim Soo-yong destroying the dark guild.

I can’t forgive these bastards for daring to scam in the David’s territory!

I feel like I need to grind them up and drink them to feel better.

Even though I was chosen by the constellation and called a saint by the Saintess, I can’t forgive their actions.

Even Satan would cry at their lack of humanity.

Kaine opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“Kim Soo-yong, I think I know who the culprit is.”

“Huh? You think you know?”

“Yes, I think it’s the cultists.”

Kim Soo-yong, hearing Kaine’s words, tilted his head in confusion.

“Why would they do that?”

“When did they ever have a reason? Anyway, when I investigated the dark guild you destroyed, I found something like a drug.”

“What?! Was there something like that?”

“Yes, and I know that the place producing the drug is the cultists.”

Kim Soo-yong lost his words for a moment after hearing Kaine’s words. Kaine continued.

“Didn’t the potion you drank look similar to holy water?”

Kaine hit the nail on the head, and Kim Soo-yong’s shoulders twitched as he widened his eyes. Kaine ignored his reaction and continued.

“How was it? Did your throat feel a little hot while drinking it?”

“Yes, yes, it was definitely like that.”

“Then it’s them. The drug found in the dark guild was that.”

Kaine sighed deeply, looking sorry, and continued.

“Phew… I’m sorry. We should have caught them sooner. Anyway, we’ve cleaned up the criminals in our territory. I’ll give you a special gift.”

“A gift?”

At Kaine’s words, Kim Soo-yong looked confused. Kaine extended his hand to Kim Soo-yong’s face.

Kim Soo-yong flinched at Kaine’s hand, which didn’t seem to fit his usual behavior.

But contrary to his expectations, his broken bones, dislocated bones, and damaged organs all returned to normal.

Kim Soo-yong felt his body recovering and widened his eyes.

“Huh?! What’s going on?!”

“I told you I’d give you a gift.”

As the recovery was complete, Kim Soo-yong cut off all the bandages wrapped around his body. He repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists, speechless for a moment. Рâℕó₿Ěs̈

Okay, it’s a little different from the original story, but it’s not a big deal.

“Then I have something to do, so I’ll go first. Take care.”

Kim Soo-yong was so shocked by the current situation that he didn’t even respond to Kaine’s words.

[The Goddess of Fate is about to say something about your humanity… no, never mind.]

Damn it. Just say it, you bastard.

Kaine glared at the constellation in his mind as he left the room.

.

.

.

Five minutes after Kaine left the room, Kim Soo-yong finally came to his senses and raised his head.

“That guy has definitely changed.”

In fact, Kim Soo-yong doesn’t know much about Kaine. He had only seen him from a distance, drinking and throwing things, during the first semester.

But he can tell.

The Kaine he saw today is completely different from the one he saw back then.

Back then, Kaine seemed desperate and broken, while now he seems more relaxed and kind.

But aside from the change, how did he heal my body?

My body was in terrible shape. During the golem extermination quest, I drank the drug produced by the cultists, which was supposed to increase my physical abilities, but instead, I felt dizzy and my body was in chaos.

In that state, I was mercilessly attacked by the golem, and my bones and organs were severely damaged.

Fortunately, the Royal Academy gave me a transfer scroll in case of an emergency, so I survived.

But the high priest at the hospital said that my body would need at least a week of intensive treatment.

Even a high priest said it would take a week to heal such injuries, but Kaine healed them instantly.

As far as I know, Kaine is supposed to be incompetent. How did this happen?

I feel frustrated.

Usually, when I don’t have information, I would ask the constellation, and she would tell me. But now that she’s suddenly disappeared, I feel blocked.

Phew… no, I shouldn’t rely on the constellation.

To survive in this world, you can’t rely on anyone.

The only person you can completely trust is yourself.

Anyway, is Kaine really incompetent?

“No, that’s not right. I’ve only heard rumors that he’s incompetent. I’ve never seen his abilities myself. His personality could have been like that because he was in a bad mood at the time.”

According to the rumors I heard, he was a maniac with a broken personality. When I saw him drinking and throwing things, I nodded in agreement with the rumors.

But.

The Kaine I saw today seemed like a just and kind person.

He seemed to be extremely upset that innocent adventurers, including himself, had been scammed by the cultists.

Not only that, but he instantly healed injuries that even a high priest would have a hard time treating, even though he had destroyed the dark guild.

Treating those injuries wouldn’t have been easy.

I don’t know what ability Kaine used, but he healed my almost-dead body instantly. There must have been some kind of cost to do that.

And come to think of it, didn’t the David family anonymously support me for destroying the dark guild? Could that also be…

Now that I think about it, it’s strange that the David family would anonymously support me, even though I destroyed the dark guild.

It would have made more sense if they had called me directly.

But when I think about what Kaine did today, everything makes sense.

He supported me, and today, he sacrificed something to heal my injuries instantly.

It’s clear that Kaine is the one supporting me.

I don’t know why he’s helping me, but it’s certain that I received help from him.

“I’ll have to repay this debt someday.”

With that thought, Kim Soo-yong checked his body once more and left the hospital room.

.

.

.

I left the hospital and headed back to the Academy’s main building.

Hmm… which lecture should I take?

To be honest, the only thing I think I have talent for is ‘that’.

The problem is whether to call it talent or potential, but anyway, that’s the only hope I have.

But if I take a lecture based on ‘that’, I’ll definitely be treated like a crazy person.

…No, it doesn’t matter if I’m treated like that now.

William didn’t show it, but he probably thought the same thing as the students. And the other professors would probably feel the same way.

But even if I’m treated like that now, what’s the harm?

After being treated like a crazy person so many times, I’ll probably just shrug it off if the professor treats me that way.

Well, I’ve decided on one.

Now I just need to choose two more to meet the minimum credit requirement.

Anyway, I need to train my strength and endurance, so physical education is a must.

No matter what kind of power I use, training won’t be a waste.

So now I have one left…

The most bearable one is the swordsmanship class, which I’ve trained the hardest for so far.

But.

To be honest, I have no talent for it.

Thomas, Eileen, and Mark are all talented in swordsmanship and aura manipulation, but Kaine is clearly lacking in both.

As I walked while thinking about this, the constellation sent me a message.

[The Goddess of Fate asks what you’re so worried about.]

Hmm… should I ask?

To be honest, the constellation, despite being a young granny(?), has a lot of knowledge due to her age.

Not only that, but she also has a good eye for things due to her experience.

Okay, I’ll ask her.

“Excuse me, which lecture do you think I should take?”

[The Goddess of Fate suggests taking the constellation’s lecture.]

“Isn’t that boring as hell?”

[The Goddess of Fate asks what you mean!!]

No, it’s definitely boring.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that other lectures will be interesting, but to be honest, the constellation’s lecture is just like reading the Bible at church.

If it helps, I wouldn’t say anything.

To be honest, I know almost all the game settings, so I don’t see the point of taking that lecture.

[The Goddess of Fate says she can explain how interesting the constellation’s lecture is.]

“No, I don’t really want to know.”

[The Goddess of Fate confidently says that you can learn about herself.]

“No, I don’t want to know.”

I rejected her suggestion, but the constellation ignored my words and kept sending messages, trying to explain about herself.

I ignored her self-praise messages and made my way to William’s research room.

.

.

.

I arrived at William’s research room and knocked on the door.

“Professor, it’s Kaine…”

“Come in.”

Before I could finish my sentence, William opened the door and let me in.

The research room was similar to William’s appearance, with books scattered on the floor and an untidy desk.

It seems that the saying about physiognomy being a science is true.

To be honest, William’s appearance makes him look like he would be stuck in a corner of his room.

As I marveled at his physiognomy, William opened his mouth with an expressionless face.

“So, have you decided which lectures to take?”

“I’ve decided on all but one.”

“Hmm? Is there something to worry about? Considering your family, swordsmanship, aura manipulation, and physical education seem like good choices.”

Well, that’s common sense.

But the problem is that my body has gone beyond common sense.

“Well, that’s true, but after what happened in the first semester, I’m going to take magic lectures instead of swordsmanship and aura manipulation.”

“What?!”

At my words, William looked at me with a puzzled expression.

That reaction is to be expected.

It’s common knowledge that the David family has talent in swordsmanship and aura manipulation.

But no matter how I think about it, I don’t have that talent. So I checked to see if I had any talent in magic, and

…I’m not sure if I have talent, but I felt a lot of mana in my body, unlike the small aura.

But.

Even if I have mana, there’s no one in the knight family who can teach me magic, so I couldn’t learn it on my own.

So during the vacation, I focused only on increasing my mana. I didn’t do anything else.

To be precise, I didn’t do anything.

And to be fair, it’s not my fault.

To be honest, when I played the game, I just pressed buttons. How can I learn magic on my own?

That’s not my fault.

Damn right.

As I was feeling wronged in my mind, William opened his mouth with a nonchalant expression.

“Well… it’s your choice, so I don’t need to interfere. I understand.”

Hmm… that’s unexpected.

To be honest, as a professor, he should have forced me to change my choice, but William respected my choice and just accepted it without saying anything.

I was about to think that it was unexpected, but

As he showed his apathetic attitude, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Yeah, it seems like he just allowed it because he was too lazy.

William yawned, shedding a tear, and asked,

“Hmm… so what about the last one?”

At his question, I slowly opened my mouth.
