Magic Chronicles : Fallen RaceChapter 70: Chapter 70: Teacher Reji’s Secret to Winning Favor
1/4
The next day, Vielsia, who had been distracted throughout the morning class, was the first to rush out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang.
She slowed down her steps only when she was about to reach Reji’s “private office.” She straightened her clothes, adjusted her sleeves and collar, pushed up her glasses, and took a deep breath before knocking on Reji’s door.
Knock.
Knock knock.
Reji opened the door and saw the elf princess standing outside, who had arrived at the exact time they had agreed upon yesterday. He invited Vielsia in.
Vielsia sat in her usual spot, but the meticulous Reji soon noticed some subtle changes in the elf’s appearance compared to yesterday.
For example, her hair, which was previously left loose without any particular style, was now tied into a beautiful chrysanthemum braid.
Her uniform had been changed to another set with a “skirt series.”
Furthermore, the stockings on Vielsia’s legs, which used to be as thick as autumn pants, were now much thinner and more figure-flattering gray long socks.
It’s quite normal for a girl to change her daily outfit.
However, if she keeps stealing glances at you with a “wanting to be noticed” feeling, that’s not very normal.
“Miss Vielsia, your new hairstyle today is really lovely.”
Reji, of course, did not hesitate to praise her.
The elf girl, who had been a little nervous and anxious earlier, immediately relaxed and showed a happy and satisfied smile upon hearing Reji’s compliment.
“Thank you, Teacher!”
“Teacher, you also. also. uh…” Vielsia originally wanted to return the compliment to Reji.
For example, she wanted to praise his mental state.
However, the sharp-eyed elf girl could now sense that the human in front of her seemed to have not slept very well last night?
It was as if he hadn’t rested at all and had instead engaged in some intense ‘physical activity’.
“Cough, nothing’s wrong. I was too excited after having a pleasant conversation with Miss Vielsia yesterday, and I couldn’t sleep well because I had to meet Teacher Yeno today. So, I ended up reading books about ‘ancient history’ all night and stayed up late.”
Reji coughed lightly and pointed to the thick pile of books on his desk as evidence.
Vielsia immediately nodded, looking very understanding. As a book lover herself, she could relate to the feeling of being unable to stop once she encountered something she liked and staying up all night to finish it.
Afterward, Reji started discussing “ancient history” with Vielsia.
Time flew by.
Soon it was noon, and Reji glanced at the system interface showing Vielsia’s favorability stuck at 49% without any further increase. He actively interrupted the elf girl who was still listening attentively.
“Let’s end it here for today, Miss Vielsia. I see it’s almost time for Teacher Yeno’s class to end.”
“Ah, right! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I almost forgot about it!”
Vielsia apologized repeatedly for being too engrossed in listening. She had promised yesterday not only to come to Reji for further study but also to help establish a connection and introduce Reji to Teacher Yeno.
After analyzing the situation last night, Reji concluded that Teacher Yeno would be a crucial source of information for him.
However, using Teacher Yeno like this would be a waste. Reji wanted to kill two birds with one stone and make better use of the situation.
There was a high probability that Teacher Yeno did not know Vielsia’s true identity and regarded her as an ordinary female student interested in ancient history.
The purpose of Teacher Yeno’s invitation to Vielsia was self-evident. He wanted to pull her into the organization and brainwash her into becoming one of their people.
And what did this mean in Reji’s eyes?
It was an opportunity.
An excellent opportunity to increase favorability.
As a player with the title of “Unforgiven”, Reji doesn’t like to take things slow when it comes to favorability. He prefers to speedrun it.
Ꮇ∀ᒪƎϺρҮƦ.ƇՕƜ
Let’s take a simple example.
There is an item in the game called “Favorability Cake.” As the name suggests, feeding it to a companion will significantly increase their favorability.
However, the game has a limit on this, which is the companion’s fullness value, restricting the number of times a player can feed them “cake” per day.
So, what did I do?
I also creates another item called “Emetic.” When the companion reaches their fullness limit, I use the emetic on them and then feeds them cake, induces vomiting, feeds them again, and repeats until the favorability reaches the cake’s limit.
Another example is that each time a companion participates in a battle, gets knocked down, and is “revived” by the player, it generates a lot of favorability. So, every time I gets a new companion, I didn’t rush to level them up.
Instead, I used a group of level 1 companions to fight monsters that are tens of levels higher, letting the companions get knocked down repeatedly, and then repeatedly reviving them to quickly increase favorability.
As for the rest, such as putting low-favorability companions in the “homeland,” kicking them out as soon as they reach full favorability, and not mentioning the basic operations, let’s not discuss them.
In short, this gathering is undoubtedly a heaven-sent opportunity for Reji to speedrun Vielsia’s favorability. Creating a crisis and then selflessly helping as her hero, it is an old trick, but it’s genuinely useful.
The only thing that slightly worries Reji is that Vielsia is an elf princess and a five-star character, so her strength is definitely not low. Even if the elves have declined thousands of years later, she should still be around level 30 or 40.
Whether the human Professor Yeno and others can create a sense of crisis for Vielsia is unknown.
However, it doesn’t matter.
Reji still has a backup plan.
In the *second week of the game*, he lacked many things, but one thing he had no shortage of was powerful demons who could bring a sense of crisis.
“Let’s go, Miss Vielsia.”
Everyone spends one dull and ordinary day after another.
But sometimes,
They encounter the most beautiful and fortunate day of their lives.
At this moment, Professor Yeno felt that he was experiencing such a day.
“So, Teacher Yeno, Teacher Reji is also very interested in ancient history. Eh if it is possible, can you also let Teacher Reji…”
Vielsia was currently doing her best to introduce Reji to Professor Yeno.
The elf girl knew that Professor Yeno had a somewhat reclusive personality and didn’t like making friends or interacting with strangers.
So, she was actually quite worried.
However, in reality, all of Vielsia’s concerns were unnecessary.
Professor Yeno didn’t even listen to what the elf girl was saying.
His eyes behind his glasses were fixed on Reji.
Staring at this human, who looked exactly like the portrait that his “Master” had once given him!
‘It’s him!’
‘The task that the Master gave me!’
‘Killing this young man!’
‘If I kill him, I will become a new human and achieve great accomplishments in the upcoming new world, just like the “Chosen One” of the past!’
Teacher Yeno tried to control his body, which was shaking intensely due to excitement.
He forced a smile on his face that he believed was friendly and approachable.
“Of course.”
“I should say that our gathering is lacking members like Teacher Reji.”
“So, I propose that we don’t wait until the day after tomorrow. Let’s move the gathering to tonight instead. I believe everyone is eagerly looking forward to welcoming our new member~”
