The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

To you who survived (1)

When the Princess of Persica came out of the imperial library the soldiers standing guard at the entrance bowed their heads in contempt.

As expected of the soldiers guarding the Rose Palace their angles were neat and clean. Even though he suddenly opened the door and came out he didn’t even look embarrassed.

Persica looked out the window and realized that the sun was setting. Come to think of it the festival period was almost over.

Princess Persica who stayed in the library throughout the festival did not feel any particularly enthusiastic atmosphere. She doesn’t necessarily enjoy the excitement of these festivals and she’s not the type of person who likes to go out that much.

However I can’t stay in the library because there are so many tiring things like imperial power disputes and imperial meetings… This festival period was a great opportunity to spend time surrounded by books.

Selaha seemed to have taken advantage of this opportunity to go on a tour with Emperor Cloel.

It is important to leave a good impression on Emperor Cloel but it is also quite important to gather more influence in the imperial family while all the important people are away.

Persica was thinking of recruiting the prime minister and important guards while Selaha was away.

Then I ended up getting too absorbed in the books at the library. I should have come out at least two days earlier.

“Shall we prepare a meal Princess Persica?”

“No it’s okay. but… ”

When I looked out the window of the Rose Palace hallway I saw a spire rising up next to the central palace.

It was a spire built for military purposes but its role faded significantly after the reign of peace. It was currently a building used for private purposes by one of the members of the imperial family.

“Since there’s no one watching at the moment I’d like to stop by the spire.”

“… ”

“Why am I doing something I shouldn’t be doing?”

Emperor Cloel was extremely reluctant to allow anyone to approach that spire. That’s because the royal family’s sore fingers are hidden there.

The three princesses were well aware of that fact so they did not dare to approach them too closely.

Three princesses each with their own values compete to succeed the Cloel imperial family. They are the pride of this dazzling imperial family. However among these three shining princesses there was an eldest son who was actually designated as the next emperor.

Crown Prince Lindon Cloel.

At one time he was a man who was by Emperor Cloel’s side assisting him and holding on to his position as successor more firmly than anyone else.

The only male among the direct descendants of the current Cloel royal family he was a strong monarch who was virtually designated as the heir.

He was the eldest brother of the three princesses and always looked down on the people with his intelligent mind and moist eyes… He was a man with the qualities of a saint.

In the days when the healthy Lindon was firmly at the center such stories even circulated among his subjects.

He is an ideal monarch who brings together the strengths of the three princesses each with their own unique traits…

This Cloel Empire will also enjoy peace for at least one more generation…

It was also a symbol of such hope.

The beginning of the imperial power dispute surrounding the three princesses was when Lindon Cloel suddenly abandoned all his qualifications as the heir to the imperial power and locked himself in that spire.

From then on the position of successor to the imperial throne became vacant and Emperor Cloel began to hesitate about which of the three princesses to nominate as the next successor… The long history of antagonism had begun.

Nowadays Lindon Cloel has become such a nuisance that he does not leave his room. She had such a miserable appearance that it put those long days in vain.

The cause is… Surprisingly no one knows.

The aides who were assisting Prince Lindon right next to him the imperial chancellor the butler and the guards were all unable to determine the cause.

One day the man suddenly lost all motivation and purpose and locked himself in his room.

There were no omens and no major events. No matter how much I asked he didn’t even answer… A man who has become helpless in everything and has become a person who lives simply because he cannot die.

Lindon’s sudden downfall was a great wound to Emperor Cloel.

I waited for the first few months thinking that he would definitely regain strength but as time went on Lindon’s condition only worsened.

Suddenly I was locked in my room with a skinny and gaunt appearance. He barely even ate the food his subjects brought him… In the room at the top of the spire with the fire in the fireplace in front of him he was repeatedly crying and laughing as if he were empty.

When the heir to the imperial family became such a troubled person the powerful people of the imperial family completely isolated him in the spire.

Led by Crepin Rosstaylor who was still on active duty it was decided to take care of the crown prince until he came to his senses and to refrain from exposing him to outsiders as much as possible. There was no benefit in letting it be known widely that the crown prince of a country had gone crazy.

Prince Lindon himself gave up his position as successor.

Just that fact… It was just made widely known.

Since then many subjects have speculated as to why Prince Lindon became strange but no one has figured out the exact answer. I’m just saying that excessive stress accumulated and one day she suddenly put a lot of mental pressure on her and her brain went crazy.

On the other hand conspiracy theories also circulated.

What made Prince Lindon like that was the work of one of the princesses who was interested in the imperial power.

Selaha Persica Fenia.

There is someone who thought of making Prince Lindon give up the imperial power and take over the imperial power himself.

And it was the Princess of Persica who aroused the most suspicion.

This is because the person who was closest to Prince Lindon before Lindon became strange was Princess Persica.

Whenever I had time I would go to the library chat with Persica drink tea together and discuss various current situations.

Since she was the Princess of Persica who spent the longest time with Crown Prince Lindon she was the person who was easiest to manipulate.

Of course if you whisper such a rumor in front of the royal family you will be immediately executed.

however… There is no way that the rumor whispered among the subjects did not reach Persica’s ears.

‘That’s a funny story.’

Princess Persica snorted as she climbed the stairs of the spire.

Beyond a few subjects who liked conspiracy theories in recent years even Selaha had looked at Persica with suspicion.

As if they had really done something to Prince Lindon.

When a piece of the truth cannot be seen the crowd begins to roughly piece together the truth.

It was Princess Persica who made Prince Lindon strange.

Since there is a truth that seems easy to fit in there are bound to be people who are tempted by it and fall for it.

However Princess Persica also does not know why Prince Lindon locked himself in his room.

I simply dealt with Prince Lindon who visited the library because he communicated best with Persica.

Persica also has fun memories of dealing with Lindon because she knows more and has deeper insight than she thought.

Have a deep discussion about current issues while drinking tea on the terrace or recommend books to each other in the corner of the library… It wasn’t a very bad memory.

I also thought that Lindon was a nobleman who could easily rise to the position of emperor.

Only now it looks like this.

– smart.

Persica knocked and opened the door.

This is a room that Emperor Cloel could not even go near when he was in the imperial court because he was worried.

Taking advantage of the festival when everyone’s eyes are looking outward is the perfect time to meet Prince Lindon.

I’ve met Lindon several times but each time I don’t get any special results.

Still it was my habit to head towards the spire whenever I had the chance even if just out of curiosity.

I entered the dark room thinking that there would be no significant harvest this time either.

I entered a room with several layers of curtains drawn and only lit by gloomy candles and blinked a few times.

Then the eyes adapt to the darkness… A shocking scenery fills my pupils.

“Brother Lee Lindon!”

Persica screamed and ran into the room.

Since this was a steeple that even the guards could not enter without permission I had to rush into it myself with my small body.

Because this was the moment when Lindon was trying to stick his neck into the rope hanging from the ceiling.

At the moment when he was about to end his own life Persica hugged his haggard stomach and pushed him away causing him to fall off the chair and roll helplessly on the floor.

“Wow… Knock knock… ”

“Brother Lindon. “What on earth are you thinking?!”

shit… shit… ! I couldn’t die again… also… !”

Lindon gritted his teeth and swallowed back tears.

“You are a pathetic human being who has no confidence in surviving and doesn’t even have the courage to die… I stared at the rope for hours but I couldn’t bear the pain of death… Courage… I don’t have the courage… !”

“Come to your senses Brother Lindon! “Why are you trying to die!”

“Persica… It’s Persica… No more… I don’t have time… Now I really have to make a decision… ”

Lindon who was rolling around on the floor quickly pulled out a small dagger from a nearby armor-shaped decoration and held out the handle towards Persica. I could sense desperation in his trembling hands.

“Persica… you… Will you finish me off… ? Even if you make a request like this your subjects will never grant it… ”

“Would it be me who would grant such a bizarre request? Come to your senses Brother Lindon!”

Lindon’s appearance gradually emerges from the darkness. He is literally a nuisance himself.

The once shiny blonde hair has become dull and sticks to the cheeks and the lifeless eyes and emaciated body resemble a scarecrow.

Persica looked at that face and swallowed one more breath.

“The reason you’re doing this… There won’t be… ”

I am… I don’t have the courage to live any longer… What is the use of imperial authority and what is the use of the Great Peaceful Dynasty? ”

Brother… ”

“I am afraid of the futility that lies ahead. Why did you find out about this? Why did you trap yourself in this swamp of fear by knowing something you didn’t need to know? ! shit… I miss the times when I was ignorant. I miss the me who didn’t know anything… ! I feel like it’s really foolish of myself to be in pain just because I know about it… !”

really… The condition is getting worse… ”

It is impossible to find the days when Persica was sitting at a desk in the library searching for knowledge.

Persica first dragged Prince Lindon and made him sit on a chair. When the cold water that his servant had brought for him was pushed into the thin man’s mouth he gulped down the water and began to drink it.

“First calm down and calm down.”

“Persica… Persica… Soon… Everything ends… I’m afraid… . I don’t want to suffer… I want to leave… I would rather throw away this humble life than survive and struggle in pain… ”

Lindon held back tears as he repeatedly screamed an unknown sound.

Still Persica seemed to have calmed down for now and sat down on the opposite side of the sofa wiping away her sweat.

I came here just in case but I still don’t think we could communicate properly.

Still if Persica hadn’t come a major disaster would have occurred. The crown prince of a country committed suicide and the entire country was almost thrown into chaos.

Taking a moment to catch her breath Persica looked around the room.

It’s still a place that doesn’t feel like people live at all.

Usually he just sat still like a corpse and dust had accumulated on the bookshelf and furniture.

It seems that subjects come periodically to clean up and check Lindon’s condition and report it to Emperor Cloel… Now even that cycle seems to be getting longer.

I wasn’t the person to become like this.

Persica sighed heavily and then her eyes suddenly turned to the ring with the royal family symbol on the table.

“This…” ”

Looking closely I saw that it was a precious ring handed down only to the heirs of the imperial family.

Owning this ring means that you are the person who has been promised the position of next emperor of this glorious Cloel royal family.

yet… “Your brother had it..”

It is not very good to see this imperial family treasure which has been handed down only to the Crown Prince since the founding of the country lying carelessly on the table like this.

In any case Lindon gave up his position as crown prince. In the first place he completely lost his will to live. It was absurd to entrust such a royal treasure to him.

First of all it seemed right for Persica to retrieve it and deliver it to Emperor Cloel. It was the moment when I gathered my thoughts and reached out for the ring.

“No Persica!”

– Cradangtang!

Lindon who was constantly muttering to himself suddenly stood up and grabbed the ring.

Lindon fell to the floor again due to the recoil and sobbed awkwardly as he held the ring tightly in his arms.

“No no no absolutely not!” Don’t touch the ring! Please never touch the ring! Especially not you! “It will never be as bad as you Persica!”

“Oh brother… ?”

“This can’t be done…” ! When you know everything you too… Maybe you too… ”

“What do you mean brother? “Please tell me straight.”

Persica placed her hand on Lindon’s chin which was lying pitifully on the floor and stroked it once.

too… You don’t have to suffer alone. What did you know and what did that ring have to do with it? Please tell me… why do you keep keeping quiet… ? There were many opportunities to talk… !”

“Persica… but… I am… ”

Brother.

Persica looked down at Lindon with a stern expression.

Lindon looked up at Persica with a pitiful face and eventually relaxed his arms little by little.

okay… anyway… It’s all over now… ”

“… ”

“This ring… It is a ring handed down only to the crown princes of the imperial family… And yet it is also the key… The only person who knows that right now is me. “I found out by chance.”

As if he had resigned himself to something Prince Lindon began pouring out the words that had been buried in his heart.

“Great Sage Sylvania.”

A completely unexpected name came out of his mouth.

“He was once a great scholar who lived in the Chloel imperial family and studied aspect magic… ”

“… yes. but… . “You were exiled to Aken Island for hurting Prince Lienfell at the time.”

After saying those words Persica couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Lienfell was the heir and crown prince of the Cloel royal family when Sylvania was at its peak.

He must have also carried this ring with him. This historic treasure of the imperial family is only allowed to the crown prince of a country.

“… ”

“At that time the great sage Sylvania… I committed a big sin and apologized to Crown Prince Lienfell. And as a courtesy to the person who harmed her I let him know what she was really studying.”

“That… “How does your brother know?”

“I went into her secret lab. There all of her research that she had accomplished while living in the imperial family was organized in an easy-to-understand manner. “Her research diaries and records all remained intact.”

Persica’s pupils trembled and she took a deep breath.

“The laboratory where Sylvania was originally… It’s not in the Rose Palace but in the Lily Palace… !”

“The records there were all superficial. The records she hid and studied… . It lies beyond the deepest bookshelves of the Imperial Library… ”

Persica’s voice did not come out at that fact.

Prince Lindon did not necessarily enjoy stopping by the imperial library. She only came to see the Princess of Persica because she always stayed there.

Prince Lindon… While going in and out of the library to meet Persica he accidentally discovered Sylvania’s secret laboratory.

And is it a joke in the sky… He also had the key to enter there on his person.

“Great Sage Sylvania engraved a magic imprint on this ring to enter her secret laboratory. whenever… So that Crown Prince Lienfell can have access to her Sylvanian research.”

“… ”

“… .What happened to Prince Lienfell after that? “It was on the record right?”

This is a famous fact historically.

One day Prince Lienfell completely disappears from history.

All that is left in the records is that he stayed away from the secular world and had no interest in imperial power. It was a sudden story but since it was a historical fact everyone just accepted it that way.

“In the lab… what… I saw it… ?”

that… that… ”

Lindon’s teeth chattered and his body began to shake.

shit… If we’ve talked this far… Even if I keep quiet you will go check for yourself… ”

“… ”

“Listen carefully Persica… ! Don’t focus on things like horoscope magic… ! If you are too deeply involved in theology if you try to get too close to the providence of the world… ! It gets eaten right away… ! In the great darkness in the providence that God protects… I’m going crazy because I’m eaten whole… !”

What on earth is this man talking about?

I can’t understand it but it’s telling a strange truth.

“I have tasted the convenience. I felt like I was going to go crazy like this. Even a dull person like me could intuit it so easily… ! It is probably the final line drawn by God who protects the providence of the world… ! A lowly human being should not attempt to penetrate the providence of the world any further than this… As they say it is the final threshold allowed by God’s mercy… !”

“… Brother… Brother… ?”

“That fact… That smart man called the Great Sage… You probably didn’t know… ”

Aspect magic is magic that understands and twists the providence of the world.

There is nothing wrong with simply analyzing the system and taking a little bit of its power.

However if you go into an area where you are completely immersed in the depths and try to completely control the laws of the world… In the face of such enormous power human reason will melt away without notice. You become a madman.

Great Sage Sylvania did not know that fact.

Nevertheless she did not stop her research.

What is the reason? Just because of a passion for learning? Just because of that humble curiosity of wanting to know the truth about the world?

The only person who knows the reason is Great Sage Sylvania herself.

“… Brother.

“Please please do this. Persica.”

Lindon appeals crying and crying.

“End my life. I am a bastard who doesn’t even have the courage to face my own death… So with your own hands… close my eyes Turn your eyes away from the coming catastrophe… Let me close my eyes comfortably… Please… . please… . Persica… ”

Persica managed to control her trembling body and flopped down on the sofa again.

My lower lip starts to tremble and an unstoppable vibration continues in my chest. It’s almost natural now to feel goosebumps running down your spine.

Eventually Persica picked up the dagger with trembling hands.

Lindon also continued to sob and tremble but eventually he relaxed his arms that were holding the ring and opened them.

The generous breasts that are easy to stab are revealed.

– Tada Tang!

However Persica threw the dagger on the floor and quickly picked up the ring.

Without even the intention of narrowing my shocked pupils I opened the door and ran out.

She busily runs down the steeple stairs lifting the hem of her dress with both hands.

Persica’s eyes… I was constantly shaking.

*There was a user with the name ‘Pepero Pepe’.

He was a user who would tell stories related to the bosses of or write boss battle strategies etc.

The first time it made a name for itself among the community was when on the day of release it completely analyzed Act 1 boss Yenica Palover and left a detailed strategy post.

After that he is also the user who defeated all of the Act 2 boss ‘Glast’ Act 3 boss ‘Lucy Mayril’ Act 4 boss ‘Crepin Rothtaylor’ and Act 5 boss ‘Holy Changryong Bellbroke’ in the shortest amount of time.

In addition to the ridiculous attack speed the information is neatly and completely organized and even the detailed behind-the-scenes information that regular users are not familiar with is completely covered. Thanks to that all kinds of rumors were going around.

In fact I jokingly said that I was an employee of the development company or that I was the person who wrote the scenario… A human being who lived in that world…

There were many other half-joking rumors but the identity of the user was never revealed. There was no one actively tracking it.

Well anyway the high-quality strategies and information he left behind were important not who he was.

From my perspective who enjoyed ‘Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint’ quite impressively… Such strategy articles were also a subject of investigation.

One time I searched for the nickname he used on an overseas portal and also searched for the email address he used.

I was wondering how you know so much about the game… This is because I wanted to at least communicate privately.

Well it’s a good thing if we can get in touch… Or you just have to do it.

As I am someone who has searched for and read various setting books this person may know more about information that I did not know.

But there was no contact. There was no information that could be used to find out where the man named ‘Pepero Pepe’ was and what he was doing.

But in a corner of a distant internet site… We were able to find traces of the blog he used alone.

Surprisingly… Pictures of the characters seen in were uploaded like a backup file.

These are pictures that I also saw in the setting book.

The image of Yenica Palover standing proudly in the student center with Glaskan’s right arm in the background.

The appearance of Explorer Glast looking up at the stars from the top of the Magic Tower.

Lucy Mayril wearing a witch’s hat and wearing dozens of layers of magic circles at the top of Mt.

Crepin Rosstaylor sitting quietly among the rubble on the rooftop of a burning building.

And even the image of Seongchangryong Velbrok floating high above Aken Island observing the world.

The pictures of the bosses that decorate the end of each act… It was listed as if it were a set painting.

However when I scrolled down the mouse wheel all the way there was another unknown picture.

I couldn’t tell what it was just by looking at the picture so I didn’t even bother to remember it. A dark large magical door-like thing is open and the back of a person wearing a robe can only be seen in front of it. It appears to be holding a large colorful staff.

The place looks like a dark basement. It looks like the flow of magical power is spreading.

As far as I know there are no such scenes or characters in .

Unlike other paintings is this painting taken from somewhere else? In any case it was unclear whether the material was worth digging into deeply.

It was late. She had to get ready to go to sleep. I left the mouse alone for a while and went to wash myself.

When you place the mouse cursor over an image file image information may pop up following the cursor after a while.

The man who was watching the file name pop up for a moment and then disappear did not notice it.
