With my memories completely restored, I recalled the plan I had made with my clone a few days ago.
.
.

[You have died.]
What? Why did I die?
Just a moment ago, I had finished the match with Jenny, and we had walked around outside for a while.
There was definitely no one around…
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure out why I died.
Hmm… Anyway, the quest wasn’t cleared.To be honest, I thought that even if I cheated, since I did it myself, the quest would be cleared, but the system didn’t acknowledge it.
Well, then I won’t cheat in this loop.
Let’s think about why I died.
In a situation like this, it’s pointless to think alone.
I took my clone out of the Space Ring and explained to him what happened in the previous loop.
“What do you think?”
“Hmm. I have a vague idea, but don’t you think it’s that?”
“…… Assassination, right?”
At my question, the clone nodded.
Indeed, that’s the only explanation that makes sense.
Suddenly dying of a heart attack is as unlikely as being struck by lightning, and even if I did die that way, it doesn’t make sense that I wouldn’t know the reason.
Therefore, it makes sense that I was killed by a single blow from a cult assassin.
In reality, when I played the game, this episode didn’t reveal how I died.
It’s the same as how I died in this loop.
With this in mind, it’s certain that I was killed by a cult assassin.
Damn these bastard creators, why didn’t they make this episode properly?
It’s frustrating that I don’t know how I died, and even if I counter-attack the assassin, I don’t know their identity or the type of attack they used.
It just appeared as simple text, right?
May the creators go bald!!
As I cursed the creators in my mind, the clone, who had been watching me, asked,
“Master, what do you plan to do?”
“Hmm. Yeah, I think it’s unlikely that the assassin will target me again.”
In reality, it’s not just about preventing the assassin from targeting me; there’s no guarantee that the cult is only targeting Kim Soo-yong.
So, there’s a need to kill the assassin.
I can’t let him keep infiltrating the Academy.
Hmm, is there anything useful…?
With that thought, I scrolled through the cash shop and looked at the items.
“Hmm? Is this it?”
Memory Absorption Device.
As the name suggests, it’s a device that absorbs memories and can also restore them.
While it may sound like a ridiculously overpowered item, it has a drawback: it only works if the target willingly accepts it.
When I played the game, I wondered why such an item existed, but now that it’s in reality, it seems useful.
By using the Memory Absorption Device to erase my memories and act as if I hadn’t returned, I will move just like I did in the previous loop.
Since I don’t know when the assassin started watching me, there’s no more certain method than this.
If I act with my memories, I might unknowingly raise my guard.
I purchased the Memory Absorption Device for 500 points.
A memory absorption device, like something out of a movie, appeared in mid-air.
I caught it before it hit the ground and handed it to my clone.
Then, I explained my plan to him.
The clone listened and nodded in agreement.
“So, you want me to erase the memories of the previous loop and the Memory Absorption Device, right?”
“Yes. And you and Origin will keep watching me. If you see anyone suspicious, we’ll catch them. Most likely, I was killed in a place where no one was around. They probably knew my schedule or were following me.”
“Okay. I’ll tell Origin.”
After hearing the clone’s response, I handed him the items needed for the plan: a spare score, Origin’s bracelet, the Memory Absorption Device, and an empty Space Ring.
The clone put everything except the Memory Absorption Device into the Space Ring.
He handed me the Memory Absorption Device and said,
“Ready, master?”
“Of course, clone.”
With that, the clone pressed the button on the Memory Absorption Device.
Light emerged and enveloped me. -Whee! Click!
I accepted the light and discarded all unnecessary memories.
.
.
.
I woke up from my thoughts.
I looked at the clone and asked,
“You restored my memories because you found something, right?”
“Yes, I’ll explain.”
After listening to the clone’s explanation, I trembled.
“Damn it. I feel embarrassed.”
“I understand.”
The reason I’m trembling now is not because of the assassin.
To be honest, I can accept that Frac is the assassin.
The reason I feel ashamed now is that Origin saw me cross-dressing.
Well, I was prepared for this when I made the plan, but now that the clone has told me, I feel embarrassed.
“Hmm. Let’s stop talking about that and think about how to deal with the assassin.”
“Okay.”
So, the two of us put our heads together and thought of various ideas.
After about an hour, we decided on a plan.
“Then, let’s contact Kim Soo-yong first.”
.
.
.
The next day, I headed to the participant waiting room for the grade tournament finals.
When I entered the waiting room, unlike yesterday, only Jenny was there.
Jenny looked at me and smirked.
“Hey, can’t we just cheat?”
“No, we’ll get caught.”
“Why not? We can fight convincingly and then you can win in the end.”
I’d like to do that too, you bitch.
I’d love to use the method Jenny suggested, but I already used it in the previous loop.
However, the fact that the quest is still in progress means that even a little cheating will prevent it from being cleared.
Now that I think about it, it’s good that the quest is still in progress, so I don’t have to cheat in this loop.
Normally, I would have lost my memories and had to cheat with Jenny, but thanks to the system’s odd behavior, that didn’t happen.
Anyway, she keeps trying to seduce me, so I need to provoke her once.
“Scared?”
“Hey, do you think I’ll fall for such an obvious provocation?”
“So, are you scared?”
Jenny, who usually plays the role of a dealer, has become a tanker, and her face turned slightly red, finding my provocation annoying. (dealer means tha usually Jenny is the one that tease others)
“Damn it. Why is it so annoying when you make that expression on purpose?”
“Alright, I’ll stop. It’s not your fault that you’re scared of my skills. So, I’ll go easy on you.”
“Hmm. Can you handle it?”
At her question, I smirked.
“Hmm? What do you mean by ‘handle’?”
“Damn it. It’s so annoying when you deliberately make that expression. If you lose to me, I’ll milk it for a year.”
“Hmm~ That won’t happen~”
Jenny, annoyed by my response, grabbed my collar and shook me.
-Bung! Bung!
Jenny’s reaction is quite fresh.
Usually, she’s the one dealing damage to Eileen, but seeing her as a tanker is quite satisfying.
As she shook me by the collar, William opened the waiting room door and spoke.
“Both of you, come out.”
“Yes, sir.”
At his words, we left the waiting room.
.
.
.
While Kaine and Jenny were changing into their protective suits in the arena, there was a group of people in the audience watching them.
“Who do you think will win, Eileen?”
“Hmm.”
At Skaya’s question, Eileen closed her eyes and thought.
Lise, Kage, and Skaya looked at her with curiosity, waiting for her answer.
After 3 seconds, Eileen slowly opened her eyes and spoke.
“If Kaine shows the same level of skill as yesterday, I think Jenny will win.”
“Really?”
At Skaya’s question, Eileen nodded.
Indeed, Kaine’s overwhelming performance against Dillon and the other participants yesterday was surprising.
However, it’s difficult to beat Jenny with that level of skill.
Jenny doesn’t usually train much and tends to hide her skills, but her abilities are almost the strongest among the first-grade students, excluding the top students.
Even if she’s in perfect condition, if I let my guard down, she can land a hit.
So, Jenny’s skills can’t be underestimated.
After hearing Eileen’s explanation, Skaya and Lise were somewhat surprised.
“I knew she had some skills, but this is unexpected.”
“Yeah, it’s like you’re talking about a completely different person when you explain it.”
At their question, Lise and Eileen also nodded in agreement.
“I also felt like I was explaining about a different person when I explained it to you, Skaya.”
“Well, anyway, Eileen, you think Kaine will lose, right?”
“Hmm… Yes, I guess so?”
Eileen couldn’t say no, as he had just explained why Kaine would lose.
Skaya turned to Lise and asked,
“Lise, who do you think will win?”
“Of course, I think the young master will win. Unlike you, I believe in the young master.”
“……Yes, yes?!”
Lise’s sudden attack caught Eileen off guard.
Before Eileen could explain, Skaya also joined in.
“I also believe in Kaine, who was taught magic by me. I’m betting on Kaine winning.”
Eileen was stunned by the double attack and blushed, shaking her body.
“I, I also believe that Kaine will win!”
.
.
.
Meanwhile, at that time, Kaine and Jenny heard Eileen’s shout and laughed.
“Hey, why is your ex-girlfriend acting like that over there?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t really want to know.”
That’s because it’s obvious that their conversation is pointless.
Anyway, that’s not the important thing.
What’s important now is the plan.
To kill the assassin who is targeting me, I need to do my best in this match.
In the previous loop, Jenny and I cheated, but before the final match, I told her to fight a real match.
So, here, I need to show signs of exhaustion to lure the assassin.
Additionally, I need to win to get points.
In conclusion, there’s no time to think about their pointless conversation.
As I was thinking about this, Jenny had also finished changing into her protective suit, and William approached us to explain the rules of the final match.
“Unlike the previous matches, the final will be a best-of-three. The first to win two matches will be the winner. Any questions?”
At his question, Jenny raised her hand with a bright smile.
“Professor, is there no break time after each match?”
“There’s a 5-minute break, but you can’t use potions or artifacts during that time.”
At his words, we nodded. William looked at each of us and said,
“Then, I’ll take it that there are no more questions.”
With that, William moved away from us.
Simultaneously, the match began.
So, for my plan and points, I will fight a real match with Jenny, without cheating.
