Grow With In-App Purchases

44. Before school (4)

When an employee enters the office where he is working at the academy.

The staff who were waiting for her came rushing in.

“How was it?”

“What are you doing?”

What they are curious about is the sponsor she met today.

The academy usually receives donations from many aristocratic families.

However, a person who was a commoner but had consistently sent donations without any conditions for a period of 10 years was so unusual that it became a hot topic even among the employees.

“Unexpectedly, he was very young. I thought a benevolent old merchant would come out, but it wasn’t at all.”

Today, a sponsor who has not shown his face once even though he has donated for 10 years finally met an academy employee.

When I first saw it, I had my doubts.

‘Did you send your son?’

However, it was a misunderstanding, and I could see that he himself had been sending donations for 10 years.

“Even if you hit it a lot, mid-30s? At first glance, he looked like he was in his late 20s or early 30s.”

“Nonsense. So, you mean you’ve been sending donations since you were in your 20s.”

“When I was 20, I went around getting pocket money from my father and mother.”

“Couldn’t that person have a lot of money in the family too?”

“ah… Well, I heard that there are quite a few rich merchant families among commoners these days. Would that be the case?”

Donations sent without exception for 10 years.

It was something that even a commoner could not ignore.

No, what if you show a disrespectful attitude and then get pissed off and refuse to pay any more donations?

‘I have to take all the responsibility.’

That’s why, despite being a commoner, I had no choice but to treat him politely.

Fortunately, the patrons did not show disrespect to the staff either.

“If that’s the case, there’s no way there won’t be any requirements. Did you really meet, but didn’t make any demands? Like a decoration or something.”

If you are a wealthy commoner, you will long for the aristocracy and use evil to somehow fit into their society.

What if you donated money to the academy for 10 years with the intention of getting a medal?

It’s not something that makes no sense at all.

“No, I politely declined because the students wanted to meet me. At least he said he would receive the letter.”

“Wow~ Then you made a donation with a really pure heart.”

“And looking at his appearance, he was dressed neatly, but he didn’t look like a person with a lot of money. I wasn’t wearing anything very expensive.”

“Then you made the donation yourself?”

“Maybe it is? He looked just like a mercenary, but… .”

Hearing that he had a very good body, he thought he was a mercenary, so he made a sharp inference, but everyone laughed at him.

“Puhahahaha! mercenary. The words are too harsh. Even if you’re a commoner, it’s not that discriminatory.”

“Oh, did I talk too much?”

“They’re ignorant and shallow people risking their lives to make money. A mercenary donating to the academy? That’s ridiculous.”

To nobles, mercenaries are lowly people who don’t want to talk.

“Anyway, I wonder what he did to make so much money.”

“I just pass it on as if I have a lot of money.”

What the sponsor does is only a brief topic of conversation.

Even now, he hadn’t shown his face for 10 years, and it was only because he suddenly appeared that he got attention.

“If you listen to the story, even if you are a commoner, it is not bad if you have a rich house. I heard that it’s better to be treated well and live?”

“Yeah, no matter how commoner it is. Then, what if half a penny is born?”

Here, half-penny refers to a person who has no ability because he is not awakened despite being a noble.

In an aristocratic society, Banpuni belongs to the ‘handicapped’, and it is impossible to inherit the family or inherit property.

“They said I would marry a real commoner? That’s just how it is!”

“Things like that are only done when the family is ruined to the extent that the title of nobility cannot be maintained. I’d rather die than do anything like that. What are the sins of the children to be born?”

From the point of view of the nobility, it was a very dishonorable and obscene act.

It’s probably normal if you can’t carry your face up because you’re shy.

In fact, nobles who married commoners often concealed the identity of their spouses.

“Are you working now? If you are still curious about our sponsor, why don’t you look around the VIP room? It didn’t look too bad. In fact, I thought he was a nobleman at first.”

A strong muscular body, a voice with a firm will, and fair skin that shows that it has been taken care of.

In addition, neat and tidy clothes, not old clothes that can be found in common people.

Putting all these reasons aside, the reason why I suspected him of being an aristocrat rather than a commoner was the clean scent of his patron.

“It smelled good.”

“You seem to be washing well, not like a commoner.”

Commoners are dirty.

I am so busy eating and living that I neglect washing my clothes.

Wealthy commoners with a lot of money do not wash their bodies clean.

They couldn’t understand why they had to wash every day.

That’s why the sponsor was misunderstood as an aristocrat.

It was because he had a neat appearance unlike a commoner.

But the atmosphere was not good.

It was something that showed excessive interest in the common people and could be branded as a person who really tried to do well for money.

So everyone pretended not to be interested and scattered to find something to do.

However, in a corner of their heads, information about common VIP sponsors was imprinted.

* * *

On the way back after forging a relationship with the academy.

The target I had to meet was not just one employee.

After that, I met a few more people.

After talking with them, when I finally went back to the general store, the day had turned sour and it had become night.

Several days have passed since that day.

I came here with a VIP invitation from the academy and stood in front of the academy gate for the first time.

Already, the school gates of the academy were busy receiving visitors.

It is full of crowds who came to see their sons and daughters in action, or to see the skills of the academy students.

In order to enter the school gate, you had to have an admission ticket or invitation, and when I showed you the VIP invitation, the staff quickly moved away.

“Hey… Academy!”

At the scene of the academy that I saw for the first time, exclamations came out of my mouth.

Flower trees in full bloom were congratulating the students on their entrance and the start of school.

I followed the people to the academy, referring to the signs.

“Ohh.”

The academy has raised countless heroes over a long period of time for the survival of mankind.

Its majesty was so great that it was quite overwhelming.

Some students were laughing brightly, and some were trembling as if they were nervous that the exam was about to begin.

Whether they were afraid or looking forward to it, the faces of the students did not have a great darkness.

Everyone is spending their youth with their friends.

‘I miss you.’

A daily life that I, born as a commoner, can never regain.

In my previous life, I lived as an ordinary student just like them.

I didn’t know then

To think that I would miss the days when I was a normal student when I was reincarnated into the world that served as the background in the game and struggled with difficulties.

Being swayed by the shop system that blurs the distinction between reality and games, he struggles to keep this world from perishing.

‘It’s better than no strength. If you know the outcome but there is nothing you can do about it, what would be a less interesting life?’

You can’t fight directly into the contaminated area.

Because I’m not a noble who can survive in the polluted area.

It’s a real f*cking thing.

The only thing you can do after letting them know the future is to watch from behind.

Beep beep!

[Ah–microphone test ah–I’ll let you know. In a moment, the grading re-evaluation exam will begin. Guests, please hurry up and take your seats. We remind you once again. Since entrance is not possible after the exam begins, guests are requested to move quickly and take their seats.]

It seems that he spent more time looking around the academy than he thought.

Before I knew it, the academy informed me that the exams were starting.

I didn’t have to wait in line to get into the VIP seats, so I moved slowly.

“This way, sir.”

When I showed the VIP invitation, the staff kindly escorted me to my assigned seat.

Spending money on this flavor! It was a treat that made me think of it.

The temperature was perfectly adjusted, probably because it was a VIP seat, and the chairs were soft enough to wrap around the hips and waist.

And the first thing I thought when I sat in the chair was that the location was amazing.

It was so close that I could see the students fighting with my own eyes without having to look at the big screen.

Something like transparent glass was protecting me in case of an unexpected situation, and it seemed that the inside was not visible from the outside.

‘A VIP invitation is definitely worth it.’

Now I can be sure that the donations of the past 10 years have not been in vain.

smart tock ㅡ

I was sitting there, satisfied with the service in the VIP room, when there was a knock on the door from outside.

“Come on in.”

“Excuse me, sir. I’m here to prepare refreshments. Is there anything else you need?”

It was an employee who brought a cart full of food.

I received a simple ham sandwich-like bread and beer and sent it.

The bread was amazingly soft and delicious.

“What is it, you’re dumb.”

I expected it because it was beer that nobles drink, but it didn’t taste very good.

Probably most aristocrats asked for wine, not beer.

Beer could not be taken out at all, so it seemed that he had brought it.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have tried drinking wine.”

I turned away from wine because I didn’t like it, but I didn’t expect beer to taste this bad.

While I licked my lips with such regret.

Finally, the highlight of the academy.

The grade reassessment test has begun.

Whoops! pop! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! pop!! pop!!

“I mean, there’s everything here, too.”

Firecrackers shoot up into the sky and explode with a pop.

Colorful firecrackers announced the start of the academy festival and cheered for the upcoming important exam.

“How fun.”

The reason I came here was to see the difference between SSRs and normal people who didn’t appear in the game.

In order to save this world, we need as many talented people as possible.

But can only SSR characters save mankind?

Even though it didn’t appear in the game, is there no one with outstanding abilities like the SSR character?

To answer that question, we had to find out how much of a difference there was between a normal person and a character.

In that respect, an invitation from the academy staff will be of great help.

‘Even if I didn’t get an invitation, I was going to buy a ticket and come.’

As a bonus, you will be able to check how much Fran and Shine have grown in today’s game.
