The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 27
◈ Episode 027. (2) As expected
from a large European family, the Bentric family’s official explanation was made quickly, and despite the presence of numerous reporters, they returned with only three explanations.
The first is that this incident was carried out by Disera Bentrick, who was excommunicated from the Bentrick family.
Second, this incident has nothing to do with Rockdil Ventrick, who is currently attending Valhalla.
The third is that a person who was excommunicated from the family but once used the family name Bentrick caused a social stir, so the head of the family will personally meet with the victim and offer a separate apology.
After giving only three explanations, the Bentrick family left the stage without taking any questions from reporters.
Of course, in addition to that, the Bentrick family explained through the official media after the explanation ceremony why this incident was connected to ‘Rock Deal Bentrick’, and the contents were as follows.
Disera Ventrick had a bad feeling toward the Ventrick family who had excommunicated her, and when she was unable to succeed in her mission to assassinate a specific student and was in a situation where she had to spit out information, she used the name of Rockdil Ventrick instead of the client who had requested the student assassinate. That’s what I spit out.
Of course, naturally, people did not believe that, but the situation turned around due to the words of Disera Bentrick, who was handed over to the association shortly afterwards.
‘What the Bentrick family said is true.’
That short word.
However, thanks to that short word, the Bentrick family was able to escape from the hell that all the media had been beating hard about, and with those words, Disera Bentrick was imprisoned in Prison Tower managed by the International Association.
However, even though they were officially released from the hell of being beaten by the media, the gossip about the Bentrick family did not disappear quickly.
—-
-Why the sudden donation to the Bentrick Family International Association?- -The
visible reason for the family’s sudden participation in the international community donation process is disturbing…
-Who on earth made the anonymous donation to Valhalla Academy?
-The unresolved suspicions of the Bentrick family are equally silent families.
—-
Although this major controversy died down, articles related to the Bentrick family continued to appear.
That’s because there aren’t many materials that get as many views and as many things to eat as the Ventrick family.
In addition, public opinion on the Internet was not going well for the Bentrick family.

I’m about to sign a contract: Haha, aren’t there any dark bastards who believe in the Ventrick family’s official statement? Just looking at it, they put him to sleep by feeding him a lot of money, so it seems like he really likes money. You covered up your attempt to assassinate a student with money, you bastards.
ㄴ Tired Contractor: ㄹㅇ ㅋ Just by looking at it, you can clearly see that they are telling them to keep quiet because they are money-makers, but Ventrick, these bastards are so fucking disgusting.
ㄴ I’m so tired, can I pay for cigarettes: Haha. These bastards will run away in a huff if you tell them that the Ventrick family will give them a contract anyway.
ㄴ Korean Pony: -Ben- Welcome~ Why on earth are there so many of these bastards? But that’s it, and if they give me a contract, of course I have to go. S-class constellation’s blessing and protection are sweet~
Jojinbajinmajin: Ventrick These bastards are disgusting. If that’s going to happen, you should just be the kings, you bastards. It’s like the era of destruction almost 300 years ago. Cubs.
ㄴ Seonun: ㄹㅇㅋ
ㄴ Pakberion: ㄹㅇㅋ
ㄴ Angry Mocker: ㄹㅇㅋ

However, no matter how unfavorable the public opinion was, the Ventrick family did not provide any further explanation, and the outside world was in chaos due to the Ventrick family. Even in the midst of poverty, time passed and the grade announcement date came.

after school.
A midterm exam report card posted publicly in the Valhalla first-year student building.
The area around the report card, which was filled so tightly that it almost filled one wall, quickly began to overflow with students looking at the report card, and soon various reactions erupted from the students who saw the report card.
“Ah… I ruined it.”
“Oh, this is really going to lead to a retreat…”
The first reaction that came out was lamentation.
“Wow, it’s not that bad, is it? “It’s actually okay like this.”
“Me too? Is this really okay? “I thought my score would be lower than expected.”
The next reaction was relief.
And the last one.
“No shit, isn’t this a little weird?”
“what?”
“What the fuck, I think I went into the dungeon and caught the most monsters on the team? But am I ranked like this? How fucking weird is this? “Isn’t there something wrong with this?”
It was denial.
However.
The students, who all had different opinions, all showed the same reaction in just one place.
“First place is Kim Joo-hyuk.”
“Well, it’s worth it.”
“Kim Joo-hyuk is recognized.”
“It would be strange if I didn’t come in first place when I was beating up a top-notch villain all by myself.”
“right? “He’s top-notch, and as a bonus, he beats up the Bentrick family all by himself.” “
I admit it~”
That’s Kim Joo-hyuk’s ranking.
Basically, for most students, various emotions attach to the first place winner.
And most of those feelings tend to be bad feelings like jealousy rather than good feelings like admiration, and that was a very natural phenomenon.
The very reason for lining up by rank in the first place is the same as encouraging a competitive spirit among students.
However, none of the Valhalla students looking at the current rankings showed envy or jealousy when they saw Kim Joo-hyuk’s ranking.
Rather, the students viewed Kim Joo-hyuk’s ranking of first place as something very natural.
Among the current students, Kim Joo-hyuk has already become something that has surpassed the first grade.
That’s right, Kim Joo-hyuk started by defeating all the children of the five major families from the very beginning at the entrance ceremony, and recently, he has been dealing with villains alone.
Of course, there were all levels of villains and some were weak, but regardless of that, the students were simply in awe of the fact that ‘one student had defeated the villain who came to assassinate him.’
As a result, even though Kim Joo-hyuk was ranked first in the midterm exam, the other students did not show jealousy towards him and were only admiring him.
And among the students who are so admiring.
“….”
“….”
Yoo So-yeon and Oh Se-hyuk were staring at Kim Joo-hyuk’s name above them from different positions.
When the hallways of the student building were noisy with the announced midterm exam scores.
“Going out next week?”
“Why not?”
“It can’t be possible!”
“Oh! really?”
“If you become my assistant, you can go out every day!”
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a sigh as he looked at Liliya putting her face right in front of his nose while saying that.
“Of course I can’t be an assistant.”
“Oh why~ Honestly, isn’t this the right time to ask for something?”
“Hmm.”
Kim Joo-hyuk slightly lowers his head and thinks about what Liliya said.
Liliya opened her mouth with a surprised expression.
“oh.”
“Why do you look like that?”
“huh? “Aren’t you worried?”
“That’s right, I’m thinking about what to eat for dinner tonight.”
“….”
Lilya, who was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk with an amused expression, soon realized that his expression had changed to a playful one, and responded with an indignant expression.
“How dare you make fun of the instructor…! “Now that I see it, you don’t even use honorifics, right?”
“Newly? “He hasn’t said anything since last time.”
“…That was it.”
Liliya nodded her head so that her white short hair moved slightly and then spoke.
“So you’re not going to be my assistant?”
“…Isn’t it time to get tired of talking? “Can’t we just help in this way?”
In fact, the reason Kim Joo-hyuk stopped by Liliya’s personal office today was to repay his debt to her.
‘It certainly seemed like the reporter Liliya introduced was a big name.’
Kim Joo-hyuk was the type of person who made sure to repay whatever was good or bad, so he stopped by Liliya as soon as he had time.
“Hmm, it’s a little different though.”
“What’s different?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Liliya seemed to be thinking as she moved her white bob hair here and there, but then she glanced at me and said,
“…Can we be together all the time and can’t we?”
If an ordinary person heard these words, they might sound strangely sweet and refreshing, but Kim Joo-hyuk said them with a grin on his face.
“We don’t have time to discuss monsters together all the time. There is so much to do. “Just be satisfied with this.”
“…I’ll be satisfied with this for now. “Right now, just the information you gave me today is enough to rewrite my paper.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at Liliya as she said that for a moment, nodded, seemed to stand up, and asked as if he had suddenly remembered something.
“by the way.”
“?”
“Why are you so obsessed with monsters? “It doesn’t seem like the instructors in charge are particularly interested in their subjects.”
“Um… about that.”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Liliya touched her chin with a worried expression for a moment and then spoke with a strange smile on her face.
“I don’t know.”
“…?”
Cook, cook.
When Kim Joo-hyuk made a blank expression for a moment, Liliya smiled with an expression of great satisfaction.
“You will know when I become your assistant. Do you want to be an assistant?”
That’s what I said.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at that for a moment.
“Yes, I won’t~”
He said and stood up.
####
Disera.
“….”
He was currently imprisoned on a ship moving towards Prison Tower in the middle of the North Pacific.
Prison Tower.
It was also known as the exclusive prison for contractors, and no matter how much of a contractor he was, he had no choice but to become an ordinary human once he was imprisoned there.
That’s because the Prison Tower was a space created by the S-class constellation ‘Glory of Nothing.’
But even so, Disera did not think the current situation was bad.
‘Okay, I just have to rot here for 5 years… just 5 years…’
Disera muttered, recalling what the Ventrick family had proposed a few days ago.
They offered to let them get out of prison within 5 years if they just said what they asked them to say on the recorder.
Diserra complied without a second thought, and Bentrick did as promised, reducing his 20-year sentence to 5 years.
I don’t know how the Ventrick family used their power despite being clearly labeled as evil people, but Disera was probably good about things like that.
‘All I have to do is get out, just get out…’
Disera thought like that and gritted his teeth.
I could do anything as long as I went out.
Revenge or whatever.
That’s why Disera constantly used self-hypnosis in the prison cell on the ship.
“…It’s an unsightly sight.”
“!”
Suddenly, Disera’s lifeless eyes were filled with fear at the sound of a voice in her ear, and she looked up.
“-Kuh!?”
The next moment Disera realized that there was a dagger stuck in his throat.
Phuak –
blood spewing out from the neck.
He began to roll his eyes in terrible pain.
“Die you idiot. “There is no need for people like you in the first class.”
After that, Disera no longer came to his senses.
And the black figure who was quietly looking at Disera’s appearance.
“Apart from that idiot… Since he personally lowered the status of the organization, we should also say hello to him in our own way.”
-Soon, he muttered that and disappeared into the shadows in an instant.
