Title: Listen Up, Cutie
The place you’re in is hell.
While it’s fine during the day, I recommend staying in your room at night and not wandering around.
It’s fine if you don’t listen; we’ll just meet again here as the deceased. ^^
Don’t try to pick up girls indiscriminately.
That b*tch might not be human.
Of course, if your d*ck (TL Note: A crude term for penis, ‘kkuchyu,’ implying lust) takes over your brain and you can’t resist, go ahead and jump them.
We’ll just meet again here as the deceased. ^^
Make sure to attend your classes diligently.
If you get failing grades, things could go to hell for you.
Of course, if you’re too lazy, you don’t have to.
We’ll just meet again here, …you know what I mean, right?? ^^
And finally,
If you want to live, you have to survive until graduation.
Just surviving isn’t enough, though.
This damned school will send you back in time with an even more vicious difficulty if you simply graduate.
Most people die early in their second playthrough.
There’s no day or night then.
Your task is to find a female student.
No, no, I’m not talking about that girl you’re lusting after and trying to jump.
You need to find a female student who is a ‘real human’.
What? There are too many female students, you say?
That’s right, and that’s the most fucked-up thing about this school.
You have to find a ‘real human’ among them.
Among your first-year classmates.
You’re probably starting to get an idea of what happens if you pick incorrectly, right? ^^
Let’s not meet as the deceased.
Sincerely, a loser whose brain was dominated by his d*ck (TL Note: ‘Kkuchyu,’ a crude term for penis, implying lust)…
Comments
[Lunchbox Collector: Damn, this is a masterpiece.]
[Hikikomori: LOLOLOL So you couldn’t overcome your own instincts either?]
– [Student Council Terrorist: No;; The student council president was seriously so pretty, I thought they were 100% human, I swear???]
– [Hikikomori: So you set it on fire and committed a double suicide…? What twisted love.]
– [Student Council Terrorist: If they had begged for their life there, I would have confirmed them as human, but they turned out to be a monster…]
[It’s really hard to find a real human;;]
[ForGlory: Why do you keep adding that old man-like ^^;;]
– [It’s even funnier coming from an old man LOLOLOLOL]
[Honestly, I still don’t have a clue.]
[Night Rat: After sunset is the most dangerous. 58000 stars.]
– [Still, sometimes events make things okay, right?]
– [Night Rat: That just increases your survival rate; it’s not completely okay.]
“…What the hell is this?”
I carefully read the Wonder Academy guide written by the user [Student Council Terrorist] from the friendly gallery.
After finishing it, my mind reeled.
Yet, simply denying reality blankly wouldn’t change anything.
I was quick to accept things, after all.
To be honest, there was a chance that the users of this gallery were collectively trying to trick me.
Perhaps *they* were the villains.
I might genuinely be experiencing normal happiness, having transmigrated into a fantasy academy novel.
But…
“……”
*Thump, thump…*
Inside my dorm room, after the sun had set.
A strange chill crept over me.
There was nothing at the window, yet I felt a peculiar gaze.
And from the direction of my room’s door, too… I sensed a presence.
Was it my imagination?
It could be a delusion.
Thus, I had two choices.
1. Believe this was a fantasy academy novel.
2. Believe this was an insane monster academy.
“f*ck…”
Naturally, I had no choice but to pick option 2.
If I believed option 2 and was wrong, I’d just be a fool.
But if I believed option 1 and was wrong, it meant death.
“Anyway, it’s telling me to find a human female student, right?”

Title: So tell me who’s human
You guys said you died while attending this school.
Wouldn’t it be better to find a female student who’s a real human first???
So, at least tell me what they look like.
If I know that, I can just survive until graduation, right?
****
I posted a plea for help on the gallery.
It seemed these users were friendly towards me.
Moreover, since they appeared to be people who had experienced Wonder Academy themselves, they would surely tell me the female student’s description.
“Ah, a comment already…”
A reply appeared almost instantly, and I checked it without delay.
[Student Council Terrorist: Unfortunately, I can’t tell you.]
“No, why?!”
The answer that came back was negative.
Unable to comprehend, I immediately asked for the reason in a reply.
– [Anonymous (1809): No, why????? Why can’t you tell me????]
The Student Council Terrorist’s comment appeared immediately, as if they were typing in a chat.
– [Student Council Terrorist: The school we were in and the school you’re in only share the location; the people are all different. The anomalies that appear can also be different.]
– [Student Council Terrorist: Aside from the major death events I explained above, some things do overlap frequently, but more often than not, they don’t.]
– [Student Council Terrorist: So I can’t specifically point out who it is. You have to find them yourself.]
“Goddamn it…!”
– [Anonymous (1809): What kind of fucked-up situation is that????]
– [LOLOLOLOL]
– [The newbie is pissed off LOLOLOL]
– [Night Rat: They have every right to be pissed LOLOL]
I clutched my head and let out a sigh.
I had transmigrated, thinking it was a fantasy healing academy novel of swords and magic.
I never imagined it would only be a facade, and the reality would be a horror version of Where’s Waldo…
“…Wait, swords and magic.”
Just then, something flashed in my mind.

Title: Can’t I just kill those monster bastards???
This is fantasy, right, anyway??
When I first arrived, that kid named Levin asked me if I wanted to take sword or magic classes.
So, can’t I just learn, get stronger, and then slice them up??
It’s fantasy, damn it, tell me I can!
Without fail, comments quickly poured in.
[LOLOLOL This new recruit is quick-witted, at least.]
[How can you think of killing them right away?!]
– [It’s because they haven’t experienced those monster bastards yet LOLOLOL]
– [Ah, true LOLOLOL]
– [Anonymous (1809): Why do you only talk in your own inside jokes…? So, I can’t kill them?]
The others merely laughed and joked, offering no proper answer.
Feeling frustrated, I replied, asking again for clarification, and a response followed.
[How many people here do you think haven’t thought of that? LOLOLOL]
“……”
Indeed, they weren’t fools.
On second thought, it was a foolish question.
That’s why they only laughed and offered no proper answer…
“Huh…?”
Just then, an familiar fixed username appeared.
[Student Council Terrorist] commented on my post.
[Student Council Terrorist: So, between swordsmanship and magic, which did you say you were taking?]
“…It won’t work on those monster bastards anyway, so why is that important now?”
However, there might be things I, who had only just grasped the situation, didn’t know.
I dutifully answered their question.
– [Anonymous (1809): I said magic.]
Immediately, a flood of comments appeared beneath it.
– [Oh, shit, you’re screwed.]
– [LOLOLOLOLOL]
– [Can’t resist magic, huh LOLOL]
– [Student Council Terrorist: Tsk…, it’s going to be tough from the start…]
“No, why, why…!! Explain the reason!!”
[Anonymous (1809): I shouldn’t choose magic??? Why is everyone making such a fuss??]
– [Student Council Terrorist: That’s not the peaceful Hogwarts you’re imagining;;]
– [Student Council Terrorist: Both swordsmanship and magic involve dangerous events when learning something new.]
– [Student Council Terrorist: But usually, magic is the toughest.]
“Damn it…”
I let out a deep sigh.
[Anonymous (1809): I just wanted to take classes with a super pretty girl…]
I wrote the comment, hoping for some comfort after sighing.
And beneath that comment, several more began to appear.
– [Ah, was that Levin, by any chance??]
– [Student Council Terrorist: This bastard got charmed by Levin, LOLOLOL]
– [RedNightSky: No wonder they just chose magic out of the blue LOLOL]
– [Levin is pretty, though.]
“What…?”
Reading their comments, I felt bewildered.
They had clearly just said that the people in my academy and the people they experienced were all different.
[Ah, Levin is an exception.]
As I posted that question, comments poured in.
[Levin is like a tutorial guide NPC.]
– [RedNightSky: They’re also kind of like a helper NPC LOL]
[Levin is pretty…]
[In my case, Levin was a guy.]
– [Are you gay???;;;;]
– [Don’t you ever think she might be a girl…?]
“Levin is… a tutorial NPC…”
[Student Council Terrorist: So, the possibility of Levin being a heroine is simply zero, so definitely don’t pick her, okay?]
My first love, which I had harbored for the girl I met today, was brutally shattered.
No, putting that aside.
“To think I chose magic, happily following her, without even knowing that…”
I felt pathetic for having chosen hard mode for such an idiotic reason.
[Student Council Terrorist: Anyway, try your best.]
– [Student Council Terrorist: Ask if you have any questions.]
And so.
My survival in this Wonder Academy began.

Title: Don’t Be Scared!!! Newbie!!!
During the day, it’s mostly safe!
No, just think of it as safe. It’s easier that way.
Because if something happens during the day that you can resolve, you’ll live.
And if it’s something you can’t resolve, you’ll die.
And anyway, you need to find a human among the female students.
So, get close to the female students and observe their condition!!
But don’t just pick up any girl and end up getting confession-bombed!
You’ll end up like me.
[Anonymous (1809): This is like being told to look right and left at the same time…]
– [Lunchbox Collector: Ah, for now, just enjoy the beginning like a school rom-com!!]
– [Anonymous (1809): How can I enjoy it when I know it’s a school horror suspense, damn it!!!]
The next day.
Bolstered by the gallery’s collective encouragement, I headed to Wonder Academy once more.
‘This is a horror academy…?’
The gloomy, chilling atmosphere that had permeated the dorm room last night.
With the arrival of morning, not a trace of it remained.
“Hello, Ares! Fufu, you’re up early!”
“……”
“Ares?”
Stepping out of the dorm and walking a short distance, Levin appeared and spoke to me.
I nearly screamed instinctively but managed to hold it back.
It was thanks to her bright and refreshing demeanor.
“Yeah, Levin. Good morning.”
“What’s wrong? Your vibe is a little different from yesterday, almost subdued…”
“……”
‘This b*tch isn’t human either, they said.’
*Tremble, tremble…*
*Clench…*
But I recalled a comment someone had left in the gallery.
[As long as you don’t go, “Hey, you monster bastard!!! How dare you try to deceive me!!!” and punch them, nothing much happens during the day.]
[Just approach them as if they’re human.]
“Haa… it’s just, I was wondering what I’d do if I couldn’t get close to my classmates again today.”
“Hee hee, Ares, you have a surprisingly delicate side, don’t you?”
“Do I?”
“Yep! Anyway, I see~.”
At my words, Levin gave a cute smile and glanced at me.
She tilted her head slightly and asked me with a beautiful smile.
“Then I’ll help you! With Ares getting close to your classmates!”
“……”
‘Such a pretty girl is actually an anomaly.’
‘A being that is not human, hiding its true identity.’
It was a hard reality to believe, but I accepted it.
And I focused on what I needed to do to survive right now.
“Wow, really? Having Levin help would be so reassuring!”
‘I must find a female student who is a real human, no matter what.’
‘I must survive that way.’
