How To Survive as a Crazy Prince

“I didn’t expect to be intercepted after the hunt was over.”

Tarius was annoyed as he drew the string of his bow. Then he raised his aim and fired.

At first glance, the meaning was unknown, but I could see the trajectory of the arrow when I used the boost.

“… … Crazy!”

The place where the arrow pointed high into the sky would land was the head of Arya who was holding her neck and coughing.

I was the first to notice it. After that, there was no time to catch Tarius jumping off the building.

I kicked off the ground and ran to Arya. Then he grabbed the arrow that fell on his head and landed sliding on the ground. Tarius had already disappeared.

‘It’s not something that can be done normally.’

Tarius, just to keep him from pursuing him, fired an arrow that might, no, would surely kill him if Arya hit him.

The attitude that it doesn’t matter if you die in order to win the students of the same knight academy was even creepy.

‘Is it because I’m a commoner without magical powers that I couldn’t detect any presence?’

Was Tarius in the original work such an extreme guy? If not, what made him this way?

“First of all, we have to do first aid.”

But now is not the time to think about that. The injured must be treated.

“Katyusa, please take care of it.”

“All right.”

At my command, Katyusha approached Wiburn, checked the arrow stuck in his shoulder, and pulled it out.

“Ughhh… … ! Whoops… … !!”

The arrow that Viburn hit was not a pitchfork-type object used in actual combat. But it wasn’t so blunt that it wouldn’t stick. It’s enough to dig into the flesh and cause pain.

“Keep calm. First of all, we need to stop the bleeding.”

“Keugh… … Aria, Aria!”

Wiburn shouted as Katyusha healed her shoulder. Arya, who had been stiffened by the sudden events, barely came to her senses and ran to Wiburn.

“hahahaha… … . self-destruction, release… … !”

Wiburn said, reaching out to Arya as she approached. And as if exhausted, he let out a deep sigh.

“… … Coke, Coke!”

“Don’t force yourself to speak. Because I’m fine… … .”

Arya was about to say something to Wivan, but coughed from a sore throat. Wiburn shook her head and looked at Arya.

“Sorry. aria.”

Wiburn’s voice and expression, as he said that, evoked a clear sense of guilt.

“A game is a game. Can I get the magic stone?”

“I will. Now we can no longer fight.”

“… … .”

After things cleared up a bit, I took over the magic stones from Wiburn and Arya. The two of them were confused, but as if they were convinced, they took out the magic stone and placed it in my hand.

“Then let’s hear a little bit about the story.”

Unlike the original Wiburn, the current Wiburn doesn’t feel so bad.

If Wiburn, who was not a villain in the first grade, became a black man in the third grade, what made him do that? To know that, you need to figure out what kind of person Wiburn is now.

‘I don’t know how this seemingly innocent guy became like that.’

As I said before, the final boss of the Knight Academy arc was Proud. But Proud was also taken advantage of, and Wiburn was behind it.

The original wyvern used the magic of self-destruction to bring chaos to the ranks of the knight academy, and in the end, after destroying many people, she self-destructed and disappeared.

The reason for this was moderately passed over as hatred of the world in the original work, but the general discussion was that there was no inner intention. It was one of the old rice cakes that are taken out when bored, but in the end, there was no mention of it until the end, so it was forgotten.

“Wyvern, you don’t want the choir to disappear, do you? Did Arya ask for it?”

“How did you know that?”

Wiburn was taken aback by my question.

“Don’t answer questions with questions. To answer, the fact that Arya, who has no fighting ability, came to the Colosseum even by mobilizing your self-destructive magic must be because she had to do something. There were also rumors that the choir to which Aria belonged was on the verge of disappearing.”

“… … yes. That’s literally it. I wondered if it would work out somehow, but in the end, this is the result.”

Wiburne affirmed in a timid voice.

“As expected, my magical power is useless.”

Then he lowered his head and murmured. Wiburn’s face, which was described as covered in madness and futility in the original work, was that of a weak boy that can be seen everywhere. Her platinum blonde hair, which was described as unpleasant, is now tidy and tied up.

“If it’s the continuation of the choir, I’ll do something for you.”

“… … !”

As I sighed and said, Arya and Wiburn looked up.

“It would be a waste if a good voice could not be used only for this purpose. do not worry.”

“Um, are you okay?”

“It’s not a big deal for me. If anything, I’ll give you a subsidy from my side. I don’t like not being able to hear the songs near the church on the weekends.”

In fact, today was the first time I had ever been near a church or heard an aria sing, but I packed it appropriately. The two exchanged glances and expressed their deep gratitude to me.

“By the way, have you talked to Proud?”

When asked because he wondered if Proud’s personality would have taken enough action if he asked, Wiburn shook his head.

“… … It disappeared due to the reduction of the student council’s budget, so I thought it would be meaningless to say it. They seemed very busy with preparations for the Colosseum recently.”

“hmm. Was it?”

‘Come to think of it, that was the setting. It can’t be helped that it’s hard to say.’

I can’t say that I know the original work until now. Although there is no one who will understand that you do it.

‘No, maybe the gap between reality and the original story is actually growing.’

The current flow of reality is very different to grasp the situation only with the knowledge of the original work. It is better to avoid making assumptions unless it is established by the setting.

“Let’s talk about the choir like this. Wiburne, I have something I want to ask you.”

Proper verification is necessary to reduce mistakes.

“Do you know about Parabellum?”

So I asked Wiburn directly.

“ah… … .”

Wiburn’s eyes widened at my question.

“Even Crown Prince knows. No, is it natural?”

And when a story I knew came out, I reacted excitedly.

“Answer the question. Do you know?”

“Of course not. They… … .”

Wiburn, who referred to Parabellum as ‘them’, took a moment to choose his words,

“Did you pay for my tuition?”

He said as if he was sincerely grateful.

“The charitable foundation… … say.”

“Isn’t it? In addition to me, there are also freshmen who entered with the support of Parabellum.”

The information Wiburn knew about Parabellum was ‘a charity that helps poor commoners and aristocratic students’. I didn’t even know that I was in the arms business.

“Did you ask for anything?”

“I asked for good grades so that it would be worthwhile to apply. … … As you can see, I am not a very good student.”

Wieburn laughed embarrassedly. Even if it is not revealed s*xually, the mana of self-destruction has excellent potential, so Parabellum’s lineup is not bad.

‘But at this point, isn’t the setting oversaturated? There is a degree to being jumbled.’

At this point, Parabellum, while being an arms dealer and a charitable foundation, was something that worked secretly against iron blood.

After taking a deep breath, I organized my thoughts.

Roughly, Parabellum’s intentions were predictable. Like he did with Eugene, he must have been thinking of going to new students or candidates for admission and recommending them to enroll, clearing the debt and using it somehow.

‘If it succeeds properly, is it a violation of the original?’

What the hell did such an ordinary boy with no self-esteem do to become a psychopath two years later and destroy himself?

“Wyvern, come to me after the game.”

Before leaving the knight academy, I had to make sure.

“There are many things I want to ask about you.”

“Are you talking about me? There’s nothing really fun about it… … .”

“If you come, come. instead of medical expenses.”

Wiburn trembled a little frightened, then closed his mouth and nodded.

“… … By the way, Aria, is it okay?”

And after an awkward silence, Katyusha looked at Aria, who was watching the situation, and asked. Dimitri and Mi-ryung were not present as they were searching the building and surroundings.

“Even if I did first aid, I’m worried about the rest of the subject with a hollow shoulder.”

“That is also true. For some reason, I was surprised that it didn’t hurt too much.”

Wiburne said as if he was surprised. Like the original villain, he had a great tolerance for pain… … No, it was because I slightly adjusted my pain sensation for the conversation. Perhaps after leaving the arena, when the control of pain sensation is restored, he will roll on the floor screaming.

“Wait a minute, let me see.”

I approached Arya. Arya looked up at me nervously, and I closed my eyes and put my hand on the nape of her neck. Then, electricity was weakly applied to check the condition.

‘It’s not just that the vocal cords are damaged. The flow of magic is also messed up.’

I could only check very little, but it was by no means in good condition.

‘Is this a side effect of self-destruction magic?’

In the past, it resembled Katyusha’s state before I opened her senses.

“I took care of it lightly, but if I keep it like this, it might cause permanent problems.”

“that… … .”

Wiburn’s face frowned at my words.

“It is my fault. If I had released my magic in time, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Then he sighed and looked at the ground. Rather than being sad, I feel a little annoyed. Arya seemed to want to convey that with her facial expression, but it was not conveyed because Wiburn was lowering her head.

“… … Well, there’s a guy nearby who can fix it. If you take it today, you will probably be able to treat it without any aftereffects.”

You can just pretend you don’t know, but to do that, the dream is a mess.

“Oh, can you?! Who?!”

“From. We are on the same team as the archer from earlier, Tarius.”

And I was annoyed at the guy who made it into this situation, so I didn’t want to just move on.

“… … ! If we can cooperate, we will do it. Please!”

“okay. Let me know if you need anything.”

I averted my gaze from the eager Wiburne and looked at the railing from which Tarius had jumped.

‘I didn’t expect to fight Eugene’s party already.’

As long as that person didn’t come here first, I thought I’d save it all the time and deal with it last. But the situation is like this, so I have no choice but to put my hands on it first.

‘I want to eat Naengmyeon’s egg last.’

“hey. Who is currently number one in kill count?”

Thinking of something good, I asked Maseok to confirm.

“Currently, the number one kill count is——”

The magic stone’s answer came with an emotionless voice.

“This is Bernadetta.”

“… … what? Ber?”

This was an unexpected flow.
