How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

25 – Wings sprout (1)

Since we finished our business in the demon realm, we made the decision to return without delay.

After a few days’ journey through the Pandemonium and the wilderness, and entering the West Continent again, the air somehow feels sweeter and cooler than usual.

“Haa… good…”

I stuck out my chest and took a deep breath.

However, unlike me, who felt a sense of liberation, Isana had a somewhat downcast expression.

“ha… I have to wear a boring disguise again… It’s been a while since I liked it… ”

Isana was constantly grumbling all the way back. I think I’ve been doing this for hours since I left the wilderness. Aren’t you tired?

I was annoyed by the continued grumbling and thought about saying something, but in the end I decided to just accept her complaint.

It’s not that I don’t understand her feelings at all, it’s because she’s had a hard time this time as well.

After traveling for a full half day in the wilderness, we finally arrived at East Hall.

As soon as I entered the village chief’s mansion, I asked Isana for the herbs I requested last time.

“By the way, Edwin Reed. I’d like to ask what you’re going to use these for.”

Isana seemed to be handing me some herbs, then suddenly grabbed the bag containing the herbs with her hand.

“What is this? That’s something you don’t need to know at all. It has absolutely nothing to do with your race. Anyway, this is a bit unpleasant.”

I frowned at her sudden action. Why is this woman doing this all of a sudden?

“No, it has to do with it.”

However, Isana did not move and questioned me again.

“The apothecary informed me that what you asked for were poisonous weeds, each one with its own powerful and unique poison. If you are asking us for these poisonous weeds to slander someone, I’m sorry, but I can’t give them away.

Ambush is an unacceptable and humiliating act for us. If I were to engage in such a thing, an indelible disgrace would be imposed on my master, let alone on me. So say it, Edwin Reed. Where are you going to use these poisonous weeds?”

There was another reason… ?

It’s a little annoying what you’re doing, but it’s not at all unconvincing in that situation.

I decided to tell the truth to Isana, who was sulking.

“These herbs are all things I will take. Are you done?”

“what… what? Edwin Reed, perhaps trying to take his own life… ”

“That’s all the nonsense.”

Even though I told her the reason, Isana’s bullsh*t doesn’t stop.

Seeing that there was no need to listen to her anymore, I quickly cut her off in the middle.

“Did he ask for something like that to die? They all have their own uses. If you don’t believe me after I’ve said this far, then I’ll take all of them at East Hall and dispose of the leftovers on the spot. Will this reassure you?”

“… If that’s the case… i get it.”

Isana still looked at me suspiciously, but she had no excuse to intervene any longer when I made my boastful words.

After the frantic conversation, Isana left for the audience room to report to Paine.

And I rented an apothecary and worked on it once, then returned to the room where I was staying.

guest room. On the table in front of me, there was an unknown pill, a bottle of holy water left over from the demon realm, and a bottle of elixir obtained from Falana.

And I was in deep trouble looking at them.

‘Is it really right to eat… ?’

The identity of the pill was a mass of the poisonous weeds I had requested, mixed with the root of the moonroot, the petals of the round leaf flower, and the leaves of the nine-stranded tree in a ratio of 2:1:1, respectively.

And this was also the last thing I thought of to lose my weight as soon as possible.

I found out about this recipe in a past life, and it was when I saw a post accidentally posted on the community of the game ‘I became an Academy Munchkin Knight’.

The game allowed various interactions with NPCs, so there were also many people who did various strange things to them.

However, one day while the beta test was in progress, a bug was found in which the polygons that make up the body rapidly shrank when a user consumed a certain combination of items from an NPC.

And the user immediately reported this to the GM, but the response was insincere and became a hot topic for a while.

The combination of specific items that the user found was to consume those poisonous plants and holy water at once, and the GM’s answer to that was ‘to take the poisonous plants each with their own poison and the holy water with their opposite energy together. It was explained that it causes a rapid reaction in the body, and as a side effect, the body rapidly evaporates and weakens.

It was a set-up play that was made in haste for probation, and there was a time when it was noisy for a long time about what kind of operation it was doing, so I was still able to remember it.

Of course, the fix for the bug was not made until the end of the beta test.

In games, there are many cases where the polygons are endlessly reduced and only the skeletons of NPCs remain, but I suddenly thought that if I could stop it in the middle, I could use it as an appropriate means.

And what I thought of as a tool for him was the Elixir placed in front of me.

Elixir is a potion that boasts the highest performance in the game and can recover all status ailments.

‘Obesity’ is a bit ambiguous to see as a status abnormality, but the weakening of the body caused by poisonous pills and holy water would surely fall into the category of abnormal status that can be restored by an elixir.

In addition, the dreaded mana sclerosis that is now in my body can be healed through the elixir.

‘okay. let’s eat.’

After much deliberation, I finally decided to try this method.

First of all, there was a difference in reality here, but seeing that the knowledge of the game I knew so far fits well here, it is highly likely that it will be applied this time as well.

And no matter how much I thought about it, there seemed to be no other way to get my weight back to normal until the suspension was lifted.

Some might say that it would be okay to just slowly lose weight over time, but the only thing in my head right now is that I want to get out of this prison of this age as quickly as possible.

The body that gets worn out with even the slightest movement, the smell of sweat caught between the folds, and even the nostrils are thick and uncomfortable to breathe, this body was hell itself to me.

I made up my mind, grabbed the pill in front of me, swallowed it in one breath, and immediately poured holy water down my throat.

And the effect was immediate.

-Chiiik…

A sound like water evaporating came from within.

Not just the sound, but a vapor-like effect that actually bloomed all over my body.

My body was slowly shrinking in volume as if it were indeed evaporating.

The flesh at the folds of the joints was disappearing at the most noticeable rate, the muscles and bones of the limbs were increasingly exposed, and a burning dry feeling spread all over the lips and tongue.

From noble mtl dot com

“Not yet… yet… just a little more…”

Anxiety in the corner of my heart urged me to inhale the elixir, but I waited with superhuman patience.

What I was using as a standard was belly fat.

After how much time had passed, I was finally on the verge of sinking into my stomach and seeing the outline of my ribs.

And I wonder if there was a blow to the internal organs, and now I started to feel something twisting in my stomach as well.

“Now!”

It seemed that my life would be jeopardized if further weakening progressed, so I quickly picked up the bottle containing the elixir.

I had no strength at all, so I managed to hold the elixir bottle while trembling with both arms, but it’s really fortunate that I opened the lid in advance just in case.

If the lid had been closed, thinking that it might have died without being able to open it, I suddenly feel a chill run down my spine.

With all my might, I brought the elixir bottle to my lips and drank half of it in one gulp.

As soon as he drank the elixir, the sound from his body disappeared, and the evaporation of his body also stopped.

I managed to set the bottle down on the table and, wringing out the last of my strength, crawled towards the bed.

And he threw himself as if he were about to fall.

– Bang bang!

“Edwin Reed, are you in? Edwin Reed!”

I woke up to the sound of a loud knock on the door and the voice of someone who kept calling my name.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but I feel like the number of fainting has become quite frequent these days.

The room was dark, and it seemed that time had passed and it was evening.

I stammered up holding the handle of the bed and lifted the clothes loosely from the floor.

– Bang bang!

“Edwin Reed!! Reply if yes!! If there is no answer, I will forcefully break down the door!!”

Even while I was awake, someone outside kept knocking on the door and calling my name.

When I heard the voice, it sounded like Isana. Did that woman really think that I was committing suicide?

– Jump!

“It’s really noisy, Isana. What are you doing with no manners?”

“Edwin Reed! You have to answer yes if you have it!! I heard there was no answer when I called because it was mealtime, so I wonder if… only… ?”

I opened the door, looked down at Isana and replied curtly.

Then, it seems that Isana, who is not to be beaten, raises her head and shoots at her, and then suddenly blurts out her words.

Her face was stained with embarrassment.

The reason why Edwin wanted to lose weight by using extreme methods

1. Edwin in the previous life: I was sick all the time, so I was skinny

2. Edwin when he first got engaged to Iris a few years ago: he slowly began to gain weight.

3. Edwin when he just got his memories back: he’s shaking his head. The )( on the face are the cheeks.

4. Edwin, who came home from school and went on a diet, lost some weight, but is still very obese.

5. Edwin took weight loss pills and recovered with an elixir: Success

I think Iris is a bodhisattva…
