Avoid Yandere Constellation

[You have completed the quest: Stop the Terror!]

[You have defeated the quest boss, Ashad.]

[You will receive 2,500 points and the additional reward ‘Demon Magic’ as a bonus.]

[You have completed the ongoing quest: Avoid Death.]

[You will receive 500 points as a reward.]

Reward messages flash before my eyes, making me dizzy. My status window shows 3,000 points and the talent ‘Demon Magic’ has been added.

I never expected that to be the reward. Honestly, I thought I’d just get some extra points, but I never imagined I’d get ‘Demon Magic’ as a bonus.

Let me check it out. I closed my eyes and concentrated to feel the power within me.

There was a cup’s worth of magical power, a grain of rice-sized aura, and finally, a significantly larger amount of dark Demon Magic within me.

I thought having Demon Magic would be useless unless I had at least as much Aura as he did, but the system was kind enough to give me a generous bonus. Of course, I still can’t use it like Ashad due to my narrow circuit pathways.

I have a separate plan for that. But the real problem is something else.

If I use this power in front of others, I might be mistaken for a demon and get beaten with a staff. And if I’m unlucky, Ange might kill me on the spot, thinking I deceived her.

Hmm. I can’t hide it with effect quality, can I? That power only allows me to adjust the strength of the effect externally.

Even if I can weaken the Demon Magic further, it will eventually be discovered if someone witnesses it.

Yes, effect quality won’t work. Then maybe I could… Ah!

As soon as I thought of that, a light bulb seemed to appear on top of my head, and an idea flashed through my mind.

With this, it’s not about hiding, it’s about deception.

No one, not even the Constellation or Ange, will suspect it’s Demon Magic when I use this.

Game Settings Ability: Volume Control, Effect Quality Adjustment, Color Settings, Map View, Inventory, Cash Shop…

Color Settings.

To put it simply, it allows me to change the appearance of any power.

In other words, even if I use Demon Magic, I can make it look like Holy Power, Aura, Mana, Qi, or any other power. Of course, it’s only a superficial change, but that’s fine.

No one will notice anyway. Considering the characteristics of Demon Magic, changing the color alone might raise suspicions, but using it with Effect Quality will eliminate any doubts.

For example, I can change the color of Demon Magic to Aura and maximize the Effect Quality. Then, the sharp and rough nature of Demon Magic won’t feel out of place.

In reality, if Aura is released to that extent, anyone would feel that way. There’s no need to worry about this.

Okay, let’s buy the Color Settings ability. I clicked on the Color Settings in front of me, feeling like I was shopping.

[To unlock Color Settings, 1,750 points will be consumed. Do you wish to purchase?]

A system message appeared.

Without hesitation, I clicked the purchase button. The points in my status window decreased from 3,250 to 1,500.

I wanted to test the Demon Magic and Color Settings ability right away, but I had to go to where my clone was because a truly evil demon was about to die soon.

So, I needed to go there immediately. I used my Stealth ability and started walking.

I sneaked in without the students noticing and signaled to my clone to come out. The clone nodded and stood up when our eyes met.

“Ugh!”

“Hey, why are you getting up, Kaine?”

“I’m going to the bathroom, you idiot.”

“Oh, okay.”

Jenny nodded in understanding at the clone’s response.

“Even if you’re in pain, you still need to use the bathroom. Do you know where it is?”

“Yes, I know. You don’t need to follow me.”

“Yeah, and don’t collapse on the way. I’ll get in trouble with Eileen.”

The clone nodded at Jenny’s words and headed towards the bathroom, or rather, where I was.

“Looks like you got the final blow, huh?”

“Yeah, thanks for your help.”

The clone nodded without saying anything. He must be curious about the additional reward since he has my memories, but he didn’t ask because he knew the Constellation was watching.

You’re quick on the uptake, just like me. I put the clone into my dimensional ring and then casually returned to Jenny.

“Hey, why do you suddenly look so fine?”

I had a ready-made excuse. I pointed to the Holy Cross and said,

“I healed myself with this. You saw me do it when I fought Ortein, remember?”

“Oh, that’s right. Why did you wait so long to use it… I can guess why.”

Jenny nodded, looking convinced by my explanation.

As Jenny and I talked, Eileen and Skaya approached us with refreshed expressions, their stress seemingly gone.

“Hey, why do you look so fine, Kaine?”

“What happened?”

“Well, it’s like this…”

I explained to them the same way I had explained it to Jenny.

“Now that I think about it, I forgot about that. I was worried for nothing.”

“I forgot about it too. Why was I even worried about him?”

… What’s this feeling? Why do I feel like I’ve been given a toy only to have it taken away? I felt a bit upset for some reason, but they seemed to have genuinely worried about me. Shouldn’t I be happy about that?

[The Goddess of Fate says she was genuinely worried about you!]

Why are you lying when you were watching me instead of my clone? As I was baffled by the Constellation’s audacity, Lucy, her voice not matching her body, shouted,

“Professor Butler! The Warp Gate is working!”

At her words, the students cheered, thinking it was all over.

And so, the first main episode came to an end.

.

Meanwhile, at that moment, the Goddess of Fate gazed at Kaine on the screen with a loving look in her eyes.

Oh… What should I do? I want to meet him so badly.

She had observed countless mortals, from the people of this world to those called heroes.

But eventually, they all became boring, no matter how interesting they were at first. The longest she had stayed interested in someone was with Kim Soo-yong.

In other words, if it were an ordinary mortal, like an Academy student, the Constellation wouldn’t have shown this much interest in Kaine.

She would have probably treated him like an insect. But the actions he displayed today far exceeded her expectations.

Even though he could see the future, it was almost impossible to stop Ashad, who had become one with the demon.

With a team consisting of Kim Soo-yong, William, Sion, Rain, the Saint she disliked the most, and Buckle, the chances of defeating Ashad were slim, at best 1%.

If I were Kaine, I would have honestly called Ange, even though it’s a bit obvious.

Of course, she would have had to explain to the professors, but her safety was more important than anything else. So, calling Ange would have been the most reliable option.

But Kaine didn’t do that. I don’t know the exact reason, but judging by his actions, I think he was aiming for the awakening of both Kim Soo-yong and Rain.

Sometimes, those with the potential to become heroes surpass their limits. And most of the time, this happens when their anger reaches a breaking point. Of course, even for those with heroic potential, the chances of surpassing their limits are extremely slim.

I don’t know exactly what future Kaine saw, but I’m sure he didn’t follow the original timeline.

Knowing this, it seems that he aimed for the awakening of the two people with the most potential. The first piece of evidence is that he knocked Rain unconscious just as Ashad was about to use something.

This alone suggests that he was aiming for Kim Soo-yong’s awakening. I don’t know how Kaine knew about the relationship between Kim Soo-yong and Rain.

Having observed Kim Soo-yong for almost a year, I noticed that he held Rain in a special regard. Kaine must have used this to push Kim Soo-yong beyond his limits.

And the second, more concrete piece of evidence is the induction of Rain’s awakening.

I don’t know if Kaine intended to awaken Rain as a Saint, but he seemed surprised that she didn’t wake up from his sleep magic.

At the time, his expression seemed to say, ‘Huh? Isn’t this the time she should be waking up?’ Now that I think about it, he must have aimed for Rain’s awakening as well.

Yes, there was no other reason for him to have that expression. The Constellation looked at the screen, thinking about Kaine’s performance today.

He seemed so refreshed, having stopped the cult’s terrorism.

Ah, I shouldn’t think like this.

I want to pounce on him. I want to feel his warmth. No, I don’t even ask for that much.

At the very least, I want to meet him in person and have a conversation. I want to hear his voice directly, not just through the screen.

My heart was pounding.

Even just watching him on the screen made my heart race like this. Then, what would it feel like to meet him in person?

I want to meet him so badly that I’m willing to spend my power. I’ve never felt this desire before.

Is this love?

It must be.

According to my research, when you’re in love, you experience the same phenomenon as your loved one. I never understood love before, but now I do.

I used to not understand when mortals said they would do anything for their loved ones, but now I can relate. And I also understand why they feel jealous when their loved ones interact with someone of the opposite sex.

I want to make him look only at me, but…

“…”

Sigh. I need to be patient. If I meet him now, it might be good for a while, but it will only cause me harm later.

If I do that, all the messages I’ve sent to conserve my power will be in vain. Come on, be patient. Now is the time to wait.

It’s not long now.

If I can wait a little longer, I can fulfill my desires. For the Constellation, who has lived for an eternity, waiting is not a difficult task. This moment of waiting is just a fleeting moment.

I must endure.

The Constellation tried to suppress her desire as much as possible, her cheeks flushed and her breath ragged, as she gazed at Kaine on the screen with loving eyes.

“I love you, Kaine. I’ll come to meet you soon ♥”
