[Penalty incurred!]

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw something I never wanted to see again: 『The Penalty Window』.

Permanent Debuff: The Fate of False Evil

The user's lifespan and vitality will be massively reduced!

I almost screamed without even realizing, but as soon as I looked at the window and saw what was written at the bottom, I lost even the energy to do so.

Stack: 2

Special Stack: 1

"What the hell is a special stack?"

It seemed something had gone really wrong.

"I, I..."

I was looking at the system window and heaved a deep sigh while Irina was mumbling next to me, drenched in cold sweat.

"...Get out of my room."

When I furiously said this to Irina, her eyes grew wide open, and she rushed out of the room.

"Frey!! How are you feeling?"

"Hoot?"

"...You stay out as well, Serena. Call the doctor later."

I ordered Serena, who barged into my room and asked about my well being along with the owl on her shoulder.

The next moment, the white owl flew from her shoulder and perched on my head with a hoot.

"Hoooot!!"

"...This guy, he's still the same."

As I petted the owl that had suddenly perched on my head, I asked Kania, who was standing there with her head lowered, unable to look straight at me.

"So, who are the people that discovered my identity?"

As soon as I asked her, she inquired with a serious look on her face.

"...What do you mean by people?"

"Well, according to the penalty window that appeared in front of me, it seems two people have discovered my identity."

Upon Hearing this, Kania began staring at me, speechless.

"It's all right... According to the prophecy, there's still a chance to clear the game even with 5 stacks."

"But..."

"Yes, of course, the difficulty would increase considerably. It just states that it's actually possible, but it does mention the fact that nobody has ever been able to achieve it. But I need to try. So..."

"But that is not the problem, is it?..."

I tried to wrap things up as positively as I could to reassure Kania, but she settled down at the edge of the bed and held my hand as she began to speak.

"...Young Master, do you know how long you have been out?"

"Hmm... One month?"

"It has been three months."

"Oh, god."

When I heard Kania's words, my head began to ache.

"...When are the final exams?"

"Tomorrow."

"You've got to be kidding me."

Of course, not just the final exams, there were a lot of other things piling up that I needed to resolve. So I ruminated how to deal with this situation, but soon gave up thinking about it because of my headache and decided to close my eyes for a while.
