108 – Scouter
“There are conditions? No, more than that…”
“Yes. You must be wondering why he would do that.”
This is exactly what Professor Bergen said.
Of course Professor Bergen is a good teacher for me, but
In this case, it is also a proposal that Professor Bergen has too much to lose to be called the bond between a teacher and a student.
“… Are you okay?”
“If the fact that I secretly took you out is found out by the head of the school, the trust I’ve built up until now will collapse.
In severe cases, it could result in disciplinary action and even deprivation of the professorship.”
“You know that, why…”
“That much.”
Sug-
“… That much. It means that the condition to bet on you is important to me.”
“…”
At this level, I’d rather accept the request out of curiosity.
“What are the conditions?”
“Take one girl away.”
“…The girl?”
Is this person…
I’ve never seen anything like this…!
“… I think you have a strange misunderstanding, but that girl is my niece.”
“Nephew?”
“Yes. My name is Eris, Refleca. This year… I will be 14 years old.”
Reflecain is Professor Bergen’s original family name.
It was a family led by Professor Bergen’s father, a hardliner aristocrat famous enough to have been the main family that caused wars in the past.
It fell into disrepair after the Queen ascended the throne and declared severance from Professor Bergen’s family.
As of now, it’s safe to say that he has nothing to do with Professor Bergen.
Nevertheless, to ask such a favor.
“It looks like there are complicated circumstances.”
“… It’s more common than you think for helpless and innocent children to get hurt by dirty adults.”
It seems like it’s an unpleasant fact to say such things to a student,
With a frown on his face, Professor Bergen opened his mouth.
“… To be honest, I know the conditions are tough. If you refuse, I won’t berate you or resent you.”
“Hmm…”
I need to think about it here.
Going to Merveus to apply while deceiving the eyes of the academy.
As there is still some time left,
If you crave a little more method, there may be a way to get out of the body without risk.
Even if I decline this offer here,
I don’t think Professor Bergen will ever try to keep me in check or tell Veronica.
However,
It is not too late to come up with these thoughts after listening to Professor Bergen’s proposal to the end.
“…The only thing I can get out of it. Am I the only one?”
“No. Rather, it’s impossible with only you.”
?
“Don’t underestimate the principal. Even if you roll your head clumsily, it’s only in the palm of your hand,
Even if you and I are leaving for a special class alone, there is a high chance of being suspicious due to the nature of the time.”
“…Sure?”
“I will report this to the principal. ‘For the protection of Rai and Seong Jin-ha, I will take a protective measure under the guise of practice.'”
“What?”
I can roughly understand what Professor Bergen is talking about.
Veronica would know.
I don’t know if it’s Sungjin,
That I will try to get out of the academy by any means.
The Merveus border is quite close to the academy.
If you send them away under the leadership of Professor Bergen in the name of practice…
“… That’s plausible.”
“Yes. And in order to cheat more completely, we need at least three more special class students.”
Certainly,
It is more natural to practice in a special class as a team than to leave alone with Professor Bergen.
“… 3 People.”
As much as you can unconditionally bring out the important card Seong Jin-ha,
Professor Bergen’s guilt for neglecting four students will also increase.
“Isn’t this enough to end with discipline?”
“…If you guys come back unharmed, maybe they’ll give you a waiver.”
“That’s not something a professor would say. That’s it.”
“That’s how much I believe in it. If it’s you guys, I think you’ll be able to do enough to guard my body.”
Although he looks stiff on the outside, he is basically someone who knows how to care for students.
Perhaps you sincerely think so,
I’m sure you suggested this request too.
The reason why we dare to ask students is simple.
With the third party unable to participate,
If Bergen, the academy’s professor, takes hostile actions against hardliners, it becomes the academy’s preemptive strike.
So, if you wait for the dimension that may intervene at any time,
A situation in which Professor Bergen’s nephew might find himself.
No matter how hard you try to sneak in,
Among vampires, Professor Bergen was too famous.
‘I have to hide my identity.’
If we get caught before the dimension intervenes,
It should be regarded as unauthorized intervention by students beyond the control of the professor.
In the first place, the rebuke of the professor for failing to lead the students will grow,
At least, there are more holes to get out of politically than the professor himself is getting caught.
In a nutshell,
In the worst case, if you drop out of the academy, you will no longer belong to the academy.
And for the biggest reason,
That I am in a position where I must head to Merveus right now.
“…I feel so sorry for the kids if I do this?”
“That depends on your usual benevolence. And… I think there are enough of them for me to judge.”
“I don’t know.”
“Then let’s do this. After you gather the four of us, talk to me again. I’ll change the conditions.
Priority should be given to rescuing Eris, a replica, rather than stealing it.”
Think of it as a priority,
It meant that if you really thought it was impossible or if your life was in danger, it wouldn’t matter if you couldn’t rescue it.
‘… Really.’
Contrary to what he looks like, he is infinitely weak towards children.
“Good.”
“Okay. Then let’s finish what we’ve been doing.”
Lastly, the appearance of Professor Bergen getting up from his seat,
The conversation about the long deal has come to an end.
**
The next day after school.
As a result of worrying about the four people Professor Bergen talked about all night,
I was able to decide the members to some extent.
And now to be sure of that,
I was walking towards the stable where the cella was.
Not long after,
I arrived at the stable and opened the door.
“Selah. Dad’s here…”
-Hee hee hee!!
She had grown so big that she had torn down the wall, and Sela, who lived in a space where three horses lived, could not be seen.
I heard that you were happy that you were assigned a wider space than other horses,
Only the roar of a black horse roaring loudly.
“… Where did you go?”
It was then.
– Beep!!
On the outskirts of the stable,
I heard the familiar cry.
“What, did you go out for a walk?”
Come out of the stable,
Following the cries, we walked out into a wide open space.
“Beep!!!”
“…?”
Sella has grown to an enormous size,
I saw a smiling face looking at me.
‘… What is it?’
-Salangsalang.
She felt good about her face for the first time in a long time,
Her wagging tail is the size of an adult’s body.
With a little exaggeration,
It’s big enough to reach the 2nd floor of a dormitory if you stand upright.
“When did you grow up like this?”
“… Maybe two weeks?”
“Wow!!”
In the wings of Selah,
A woman’s voice was suddenly heard.
Of course,
Her true identity.
“…What are you so surprised about?”
She was Selina, calmly riding on Sella’s body and looking at her side.
“…Was there?”
“Of course. I’m here all the time except when I’m at school?”
-Wow!
“…You don’t seem to care much about Selah.”
“…”
Selina’s eyes sting as she caresses Sella with her skillful hands.
“So. What did you come for in two weeks? Sela’s dad?”
“… What did you come for? Of course you came to see our cellar.”
“Keeeing… Keeeing!”
“Ogu! Yeah. I missed my dad!”
-Swap.
…Now when she stretches her arms all the way,
I can’t even stroke her face.
“… You’ve grown a lot.”
“Beep! Beep!”
Of course, it’s still not as good as the Drake or Griffin seen in the World Tree battle,
Still, this size is enough to be called a dragon.
And with this, it became clear.
‘… It must be difficult for Selina as expected.’
As much as Selina and Sella are connected to Mana,
The two were inseparable.
However, in this expedition, where you have to hide your identity as much as possible,
To go around with a flying dragon this big is to advertise who we are.
‘In the first place, I might be able to bring Sella out.’
I don’t know if you know what I’m thinking,
A guy who acts cute to me with bright eyes.
“It’s just the size, but are they doing the same thing?”
“I’m still a child… Look at what I like! I come to see you often. You know this is child neglect, right?”
“…Sorry.”
I’m even more sorry,
A long-term business trip was scheduled soon.
Away from Selina’s constant nagging at her with a smile,
On the pretext of having an appointment, I ran out to the gym and sat down on her bench.
-Teouk.
“… I guess I’ll go as I thought.”
“What were you thinking?”
“What!!”
‘I’m sure no one was there…?’
I suddenly heard a voice from the seat next to her and turned her head in a hurry.
A vampire with crimson eyes.
Grade looked at me and gave me a mischievous smile.
“Ahahahaha! I’m sorry. This is a new skill I just learned. Are you surprised?”
“… That usually surprises me.”
I was surprised.
‘I didn’t even have a chance to come out of the shadow…’
Let’s calm down our surprised hearts,
Grade took a drink from his waistband and handed it to me.
“Drink this. So. What were you thinking?”
Gulp.
From noble mtl dot com
“Ah. I thought…”
That’s right.
“… Just fine.”
Coming to think of it, it was a situation where I had to go find a grade anyway.
Of the 4 members, Seong Jin-ha and I are unconditionally fixed.
In that case, there are two remaining seats.
Selina had just checked and came to the conclusion that it was impossible.
In that case, I would try to be as inconspicuous as possible among the rest,
A member of the special class with high skills and practical sense.
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
“…Can I ask you a favor?”
The person I thought would be suitable as the third member was,
The crimson-eyed vampire boy in front of me is none other than that.
It was grade.
