Chapter 126 – Identity Revealed
-Ttogak Ttogak.
In the corridor wide enough for several people to pass in a row, the sound of someone’s heel touching the floor echoed.
It was a red-haired female student walking down the corridor, stepping on the smooth marble floor.
She was able to find something peculiar about her, which was that her hair and eyes were the same color.
In other words, her red hair and red eyes.
In the El Pario Empire, there was only one lineage that passed down red hair and red eyes to their offspring.
A long time ago, when the apostle of the evil spirit ran rampant, the seven heroes united to stop him.
Among the seven heroes, it was the Alemis family, widely known as an aristocratic family and a master of magic, whose origin was the archmage ‘Ignus Alemis’, who was good at super-high flame magic.
And, among the members of the Alemis family in this generation, only one student was enrolled in Noble Academy.
“Professor Prelda. This is Helen Agnes Alemis. May I come in?”
“Please come in.”
It was Helen Agnes Alemis, who visited Senior Professor Prelda’s laboratory.
She is the eldest daughter of the Alemis family, and it is believed that she inherited the blood of the progenitor, who was specialized in fire magic.
Perhaps that is why, compared to children of her age, the latent mana in her body was far greater.
However, Helen, who had difficulty controlling her mana for her age, would often cause accidents.
For this reason, Frelda, who had taught her magic for a long time at Noble Academy, taught her how to handle her mana.
With the help of Prelda, Helen was able to control the enormous amount of mana contained within her body, and based on this, she was able to occupy the Noble Academy’s Magic and Chief.
“What are you doing here today, Helen?”
Prelda put down her papers for a moment as her Helen entered her lab, then looked up at her Helen.
“I came to ask Professor Prelda something.”
“Hohoho. You can sing comfortably when we are together.”
Watching Helen speak in a hard, businesslike tone, Frelda smiled at her and demanded that she sing comfortably.
“Okay sir.”
“Okay, sit down for a while. I’ll serve you some tea.”
At Frelda’s words, Helen called her her teacher.
This title was used by Helen when she first received her teachings from her frelda.
At that time, she was five years old.
“So, what business did you come to this old man’s lab with?”
Prelda created boiling water in her air, and as she threw tea leaves into it, she asked Helen why she had come here.
“One of the freshmen who entered this time came to visit me because he was worried.”
“Hmm?”
Frelda was surprised that Helen was interested in someone.
Of course, it was because Helen had never been interested in anyone before.
“Oh my gosh, our Helen is finally interested in a man!”
Frelda was delighted as if Helen had decided that the man she was interested in was a man.
Hagi, the relationship between Frelda and Helen has been going on for almost 10 years, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the two are family.
“No, it’s not like that! It’s just because I’m curious about something!”
“Whoops.”
A deep smile appeared on Frelda’s lips as she looked at Helen, who shook her hand as her face turned red.
She makes an excuse that she is not, but did I say that her strong denial is a strong positivity?
On the contrary, the attitude she showed was enough to tell that Helen had developed a crush on someone.
“Yes? It wouldn’t be if it weren’t for you. So, who are you curious about?”
In response to Helen’s refusal, Frelda put on her mischievous smile and asked her if she had come to find him like this because she was curious about who she was.
Information about the freshman who just entered this time was already crammed into Frelda’s head, so she could talk about her freshman without looking at her documents.
“That, that’s it…”
At Frelda’s question, Helen hesitated and played with her fingers.
Frelda opened her mouth, holding out a teacup full of her strong brew to her, so that her Helen could talk to her comfortably without her impatience.
“It’s okay. Have a cup of tea and calm yourself down. When you’re ready to talk, then talk to me.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Ah, yes. Thank you.”
Helen took the teacup that Prelda held out to her and took a sip of her tea.
Helen thought that as she drank the tea that Prelda gave her, her confused mind seemed to calm down.
“Whoa, I think I’m finally clearing my head. What kind of car is it?”
“Tea leaves picked from tea trees that grow in the northern regions.”
“I see. Whoo. The name of the person I’m curious about is…”
Having succeeded in clearing her mind once again with Frelda’s question, Helen cautiously opened her mouth.
When Helen’s mouth opened, Frelda wondered whose name would come out of her mouth.
“This is a freshman named Adalbert Rainmed.”
“Adalbert?”
When the name Adalbert came out of her Helen’s mouth, Frelda began to search for someone with the same name in her head.
And after a while, she found out who Helen was curious about.
“If it’s Adalbert Rainmed…Are you referring to the freshman who applied for the martial arts department and swordsmanship department this time?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Why is that person?”
Frelda wondered why Helen was interested in this man.
Simply put, is she interested in a man as a woman?
If that’s not the case, are you trying to preoccupy talented people in advance so that you can raise the power of the family as the next head of the Alemis family?
What made her interested in this student?
A lot of thoughts crossed her mind.
“Well, there was an accident on the street a while ago.”
At Frelda’s question, Helen briefly explained to Prelda the accident that had occurred on the street not too long ago.
Someone had molested him, and when he was about to escalate into a fight, Adalbert appeared.
Adalbert made the molesters run away, and he said that he would repay him.
Having heard all of her stories, Frelda nodded her head in agreement.
She wasn’t interested in it as a member of the opposite s*x, wasn’t she asking because she wanted to help her in return?
Contrary to her expectations (?), It was a bit boring and uninteresting, but she was asking her own disciple anyway, so Prelda told Helen what she knew.
“The student named Adalbert Reinmed had a mercenary life, if there is anything special about it, his parents are unknown. Other than that, he avoided the attack from the entrance exam instructor and counterattacked?”
“I see. As expected, I thought that would be the case with him.”
“Hmm?”
As she gave her explanation of Adalbert, Helen nodded her head, saying she knew it.
Seeing her like that, Frelda expressed her doubts.
You thought so?
No, you didn’t ask because you were curious about who it was?
“What do you mean, Helen?”
“Hmm…”
As Frelda puts her question to Helen as if inquisitive, she wonders whether Helen should say this or not.
But after a while, Helen looked around and began to open her mouth cautiously.
“Teacher, have you ever heard of the ‘White Death’?”
“White…the death god?”
When the word ‘white reaper’ came out of Helen’s mouth, Frelda became more curious.
“If it’s the white death god…”
She pondered the words Frelda was the White Reaper from Helen’s mouth.
And soon, she was able to think of someone.
“I’ve heard of it. He’s a mercenary with tremendous skills who lightly hunts monsters belonging to the high-risk group, such as ogres and trolls, right? I heard he retired a while ago. I wanted to invite him as a professor at our academy, but it was a bit disappointing.”
“Actually… Adalbert Rainmed is highly likely to be the same person as the White Death God.”
“What, what?”
The shocking words that came out of Helen’s mouth startled Frelda.
Why?
It was because Prelda knew all too well how influential the existence of the White Reaper was in the mercenary industry.
A mercenary with overwhelming skills who can lightly slaughter the strongest creatures on earth, such as trolls and ogres!
That legendary mercenary was saying that he was now a freshman at Noble Academy.
“Helen, is that true?”
“Yes, sir. When I mentioned that name, Adalbert’s atmosphere instantly turned cold. At that moment, it was as if an evil spirit had appeared in front of me.”
Helen vividly conveyed her feelings to Prelda at the time she met him, and Prelda listened to her Helen’s words and fell into her troubles.
What if Adalbert was really the White Death God?
This was not a problem that I could solve alone.
Somehow, I had to catch him.
Because he was worth it.
