Academy Survival Gallery – Chapter 5

Weekly Disappearances (2)

****

Knock, knock, knock—

[Hey! Ares!! What do you think you’re doing right now?! Aren’t you going to open the door? You said you’d open it!]

“…….”

She was still outside, not leaving, and knocking on my door.

It had already been an hour.

No, was it really her outside the door?

Was the one making Lana’s voice really Lana?

Title: What do I do, this fucking bitch still hasn’t left;;;

She’s been knocking for over an hour

It’s been over 40 minutes since I stopped answering, but she’s still knocking on the door

I think I’m going to lose my mind

I’m seriously going to go crazy

Is there any way to get rid of her???

[An hour is a bit much lolol]

[NightRat: If you don’t want to die, just ignore her and sleep. Don’t you have earplugs or something?]

ㄴ[Ares: No, you’re telling me to sleep right now when she’s doing that outside???]

ㄴ[NightRat: Then what choice do you have. Are you gonna stay up all night and then go to school to study?]

ㄴ[Kyah, that K-style passion for studying is still the same even after death]

ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: But getting a failing grade will fuck you over, so studying is important too]

‘No, is studying what’s important right now…!’

But I had no choice.

Just as NightRat said…, if I stayed up all night, it would affect my studies the next day.

Especially since I had to memorize things like history I was hearing for the first time in classes with material I was hearing for the first time.

The reality was that every single day was precious to me.

Because they said that if I got a failing grade, in the worst case, it was a dead end.

‘They also said I could get caught looking at the gallery during an exam….’

Cheating would result in an immediate 0.

A confirmed failing grade.

The gallery screen was only visible to my eyes, but during an exam, the proctor could apparently detect it….

Anyway, nothing was going my way.

Title: Baby’s gonna sleep now

I will now try to go to sleep using this fucking bitch’s voice as a lullaby.

Fuck.

[Wow, he’s really going to sleep lolol]

[NightRat: Good thinking. If there’s no other way, that’s the right move.]

[Hikikomori: It’s great that this newbie adapts so quickly.]

[ForGlory: Falling asleep while listening to the obsessive voice of a female classmate ooh-yah ooh-yah]

The moderately cheerful comments on the post were a comfort to my heart.

The thought that I had comrades with me calmed my mind a little.

But…

Knock, knock, knock—

[Hey, Ares. You’re not going to open the door, are you? Huh? Why aren’t you opening it? Why? Why the hell not?]

“…….”

At the sound of the knock on the door that followed, my calmed heart began to waver again.

I pulled the blanket over my head and covered my ears.

‘Please just go away…, please….’

However, the thing outside the door did not stop.

Knock, knock, knock—

[I get it…, it’s you, isn’t it? Ares…, what did you do to the others every week? That’s why you’re not opening the door. Right? …If you don’t open this door, I’ll assume you’re the culprit. Are you not going to open it? Ares, you’re listening, right?]

Title: What’s with this fucking bitch??

She says the reason I’m not opening the door is because I’m the culprit in the disappearance case???

You bitch!!! You’re the one who killed them all!!!

Comments

[NightRat: Hey, I thought you were sleeping]

ㄴ[Ares: What am I supposed to do when I can hear her….]

[So you’re getting framed by the culprit and being suspected too?? That’s rough lololol]

[This calls for a slap across the face the next day]

Knock, knock, knock—

Knock, knock, knock—

Knock, knock, knock—

The sound of knocking continued, and Lana’s voice did not leave from beyond the door.

After a while, she even started shouting.

The content was mostly threats.

Things like she wouldn’t let me get away with it, or that she would avenge Mia.

‘Ah, whatever, I’m sleepy….’

But as a little over three hours passed like that, it seemed even I, who had been trembling in fear, had gotten used to it, and drowsiness washed over me.

In the end, I really did fall asleep using the voice of an anomaly telling me to open the door as a lullaby.

Title: A refreshing morning

I woke up and I can’t hear the voice

…It’s okay to open the door, right?

…That fucking bitch is gone, right??

Comments

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: You went through a lot lolol]

[He really slept through that LOL]

ㄴ[fr, what a heart of steel]

[NightRat: If the sun’s up, she’ll be gone]

ㄴ[Ares: What if she’s there??]

ㄴ[NightRat: That girl?? Then I guess it was really that girl knocking on your door at night]

ㄴ[lolololol so it wasn’t an anomaly but a real person]

ㄴ[Hikikomori: I doubt that’s the case, but it’d be so absurdly funny if it were lolol]

I started my refreshing morning with the gallery.

The reason was simple.

“…….”

I had to open the door soon, but I was afraid to open that door.

“…….”

Is she really not on the other side of the door anymore…?

Of course, I knew I didn’t need to worry this much, but.

After experiencing such a terrifying event yesterday, I was being extremely cautious.

“…….”

Ah, fuck it, it’s morning.

If I die here, it’s fate.

Fling!

In the end, I stopped hesitating and threw the door open with all my might.

“…Phew.”

Looking at the empty hallway, I let out a breath.

How foolish.

Stupid bitch

Begging me to open the door in the middle of the night

But in the end, she got tired, gave up, and went back

[Hikikomori: Just reading the text, it sounds like a pure-hearted girl who was wronged by a total asshole lolol]

ㄴ[The demonic Ares who makes anomalies obsessed with him LOL]

ㄴ[RedNightSky: Now she’ll keep hitting on him like that until her limbs are scattered to the four corners of the earth lolol]

ㄴ[Ares: Hey, fuck, that’s not a joke]

The academy during the day was so peaceful it was as if the night had been a lie.

Chirp, chirp-chirp~

The sound of birds chirping and the slight scent of grass.

The cool morning air made even my chest feel refreshed.

“Hi, Ares! You woke up early today, didn’t you?”

“Ah, yeah. Hi, Levin.”

The cute anomaly NPC Levin greeted me, same as always.

It was a peaceful morning with nothing different at all.

“…….”

“Ah, it’s Ares. Hi.”

However…

Just after I arrived at the classroom, the moment I came face to face with Lana, who was just about to leave, that refreshing feeling vanished without a trace.

Her voice, which had been calling me from beyond the door all night yesterday, now greeted me in a friendly manner.

“Hi….”

“What’s wrong? You have a strange look on your face. Did something happen?”

“What…?”

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost or something.”

But Lana’s reaction was strange.

Title: Hey, what’s with this bitch??

The girl named Lana who was knocking on my door yesterday.

When I met her in the classroom this morning, she said nothing of the sort happened??

I asked her if she wasn’t knocking on my door in front of my room all night yesterday, and she said I must have been dreaming, fuck….

What the hell is this???

Comments

[NightRat: It’s one of two things.]

ㄴ[NightRat: Either that anomaly yesterday was imitating Lana]

ㄴ[NightRat: Or Lana is bullshitting you]

ㄴ[Ares: I’m confused as hell as it is, and now they’re playing the game like a piece of shit;;;]

ㄴ[Wow, the highest praise lolol]

ㄴ[NightRat: Can’t be helped. Judge the female students based on what you feel when you meet them during the day.]

I was confused.

Because the possibility that Lana, who I was sure was not human, could be human had arisen again.

“Hey, have you found out anything?”

“…About what?”

“What do you mean, what? About the kids who are disappearing every week!”

“It’s only been one night, how would I know anything?”

“…Is that so? …You’re right, I’m sorry.”

“…….”

Was she pretending not to know?

Or did she really not know?

Title: Let’s just be honest, you fucking bitch

You were the one who came to my room yesterday!!!

Why are you pretending not to know and cosplaying as a detective!!!

Comments

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: I know that feeling all too well]

ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: You wanna set a fire too? It’s super effective!]

ㄴ[Ares: This bastard is trying to find a partner in crime]

ㄴ[lololol I remember when that bastard set a fire even though everyone told him not to]

ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Hmph…, but I was serious]

ㄴ[In some ways, this bastard seems more like an anomaly]

I was confused about whether Lana was human or an anomaly.

But that wasn’t actually the problem I needed to worry about right now.

Because I just had to come up with an answer as to whether she was human or not before graduation.

The immediate problem lay elsewhere.

Knock, knock, knock—

[Hey, Ares. Are you going to keep the door closed today too? Are you just going to keep running away like that?]

“…Go away.”

[Why? If you have nothing to hide, then open the door. It was you, wasn’t it? You’re the one who took Mia, right? Tell me the truth. Otherwise, there’s no reason not to open the door—!!!]

Kwang—!!

“Ugh, you fucking bitch!! You think I’m gonna open the door?!”

[Open it—!! I said, open it!! Otherwise, you really are the culprit…!! I’ll tell everyone and have you killed!!]

Title: It’s already the 3rd day

There’s that saying about three visits out of sincerity

But fuck, at least Liu Bei came bearing gifts

Does this fucking bitch just knock on the door like a maniac, for real!!

Let me get some sleep!!!

Comments

[NightRat: Absolutely do not open it]

ㄴ[NightRat: If you open it, even out of anger, you’re fucked that very moment]

[Unlucky Zhuge Liang LOL]

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Then what, wanna set it on fire?]

ㄴ[Ares: As if, you fuck!]

She came to my door every single night.

She would come, knock on the door, and shout for me to open it.

If you don’t open the door, you’re the culprit who took the others.

If you don’t open the door, I’ll kill you.

To be honest, I wasn’t really scared of her knocking and talking to me anymore.

It was just the fact that I needed to sleep at night, and she was pounding on the door, not letting me sleep.

And so, time passed, and on the night of the 5th day.

Knock, knock, knock—

[Ares…, please open the door…. If you open it now and we talk properly, your misunderstanding will be cleared up]

“Misunderstanding, my ass….”

I was out of my mind from the overwhelming sleepiness.

Title: Taking questions

Not me, that bitch

She comes every single day, and now that I think about it, this fucking bitch is pissing me off???

Why are you the only one asking questions and I’m the one answering??

Can’t I ask questions too??

So I’m taking questions

Sexual harassment is OK

Honestly, where else would I get a chance like this?

Let’s throw some dirty questions at a female student for once

• • •

The comments were explosive.

[This crazy bastard has finally lost his mind lolololol]

[Wait, I’ve been preparing for this very day]

[This bitch reminds me of when I did that?? I’m dead]

[Hikikomori: I’ll get her pregnant with my questions]

[NightRat: What should I ask….]

And so, having received everyone’s feelings, I attempted to have a conversation with her.

Knock, knock, knock—

[Ares, are you not going to open this door? Open it now. This is your very, very last chance.]

“Fine, I’ll open the door.”

[Really? Good thinking.]

“If you answer my questions.”

[What is it? Ask me anything]

“Have you ever had sex?”

[…….]

No answer came back.

“What, you haven’t? That’s surprising.”

Kwang—!!

[Are you messing with me right now?!! Open the door!!!]

“No, you fucking idiot. I said I’ll open the door if you answer, didn’t I? Don’t you want me to open the door?”

[…….]

And a moment later.

After thinking for a bit, she soon answered.

[…I haven’t.]

“Okay, next question.”

Kwang—!!

[You bastard!! You said you’d open the door if I answered the question!!!]

“When did I ever say it was just one? Are you perhaps a little slow? Did you think opening the door would be that easy?”

[…….]

“Alright, then, here comes the next question~.”

I had already lost sleep for five nights.

You fucking bitch.

If I don’t do at least this much, I won’t be able to vent my anger.

“Girth and length, what are your preferred measurements in centimeters? …Ah, you wouldn’t know since you haven’t done it. Pass.”

[Hey, you bastard—!!!]
