Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 230
Castile is truly beautiful.
It is a beautiful land with many things to see and play, as if it occupies the largest land mass in the empire.
Even though it is the land of my enemies, and the land of his children and his people.
Adela never hated Castica.
It’s probably because of one person.
Adela smiled bitterly.
After half a year, the person I wanted to see so much
It’s also the way to come back and meet them.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t upset.
good good good
Should I say something is wrong?
I looked into Han Si-ha’s eyes, making excuses in her own way, and listened to his conversation.
There, Adela could notice that she did it without difficulty.
That Han Si-ha’s words are mixed with lies.
Adela muttered softly with her arms crossed.
“What are you hiding?”
It’s just that you’re tired of trying to get yourself back somehow.
couldn’t hide it
In the first place, there is no such thing as a great person to thoroughly hide that.
“You’re the only one who doesn’t know that you have all the marks on your face.”
tt
Adela murmured briefly, clicking her tongue.
“Next time I come, I’ll figure out what it is.”
I skipped it this time because I was sneaking around, but I won’t look at it a second time.
With that promise, Adela got into the wagon.
* * *
The day after Adela raided the central barracks (?).
I got off the wagon, creating a sandstorm.
With only a cane, I took Basil to a familiar place after a long time.
It was an Arkenent Territory a little far from Castica.
She waved her hand as if Solia was waiting in the distance.
“Han Shiha!”
Arkenent was attacked by the rebels more frequently on the outskirts than in Castica.
There were areas outside the control of the Empire, so it was a chaotic place.
I came here because of Solia’s request for support.
The first thing to do was to understand the situation.
After the war, Solia made a formal request to me for assistance only twice.
There was one time when there were so many enemy forces that the Arkenent Spirits could not handle,
This is the second time…
Something is strange.
this stillness. this peace.
I looked around and frowned.
How come it’s okay to look back?
From the traces of having a cup of tea peacefully, to the soldiers lying down and dozing off.
I don’t remember ever since the war had this place been so peaceful.
I asked, scratching my head.
“What’s up?”
“Nothing happened… !”
then… Why did you call me?
I was speechless at Solia’s arrogance.
In response to a very prompt answer, I asked one more time as a courtesy.
“Is nothing really wrong?”
“yes.”
When I look at it, it looks like nothing is happening!
Then why did you really call me?
“It’s a request for support.”
“right.”
“Is this a request for assistance?”
I am also quite a busy person.
But after calling this far away, nothing happens?
this is right?
Maybe this… .
Adela’s work happened yesterday, so my thoughts naturally came to that direction.
no way.
I spoke with a confident look.
“Work is an excuse and I called because I wanted to see you.”
“… ?”
“Right?”
For a brief moment, the look of contempt returned.
what.
Wasn’t this
Solia, who was at a loss for words, muttered with a shocked expression.
“big… why… Are you that confident?”
“Is it worth it?”
“… No luck!”
Solia put her hand on her forehead and sighed.
Judging by the look on his face, it seems like he’s misunderstood.
Hmmm.
I turned the topic around while coughing for nothing.
“No, then why did you call me? I didn’t mean to invite you to talk.”
At my prompt question, Solia pointed at the soldiers with her hand.
Except for a few guards standing on guard, he looked like he was leaning back in the barracks, enduring his sleepiness.
“Can you see those people? Nothing has happened here in the last week.”
Solia’s quietly reciting words.
“Not only here, but the whole of Arkenent. No, the neighboring town is as quiet as a mouse. Nothing really happened. The same is the case with the Schwarz Islands.”
Schwartz Territory.
It was a town that had never been quiet since the war.
The warlocks were coveting the Arkenent Spirits, and, of course, Solia had to fight like Adela for as much time as she did.
Thanks to Solia, the Arkenent Spirit was holding on.
For the first time on such a land was given time to rest.
It was certainly good news that it had been peaceful for a week, but it seemed like she knew what Solia was trying to say.
“It’s strange that nothing happens on the battlefield.”
Even just a week ago, the writers who were aiming for this place with great enthusiasm disappeared completely.
It’s not just the Arkenent Spirit.
All the other provinces nearby.
“I don’t know the details of other places. How about Castica?”
“… It was peaceful here too.”
“It’s so weird.”
It’s strange because it’s peaceful.
As if caught in their trap, it was as if he had been caught in the eye of the storm, so it was a sound of anxiety.
There is no way Abaddon will come out now and suddenly come out to end the war.
Being overly peaceful means that you are planning something.
I don’t know what kind of plan he had, so he went into an abrupt reorganization, but… .
The highest possibility was also the cube.
“Are you crazy about the cube?”
“I think the same.”
A total of five cubes.
Among them, Abaddon, who stole the cube of January and the cube of emotions.
The dongle and square one are well tamed by me, so that’s the only thing left.
“A cube of living spirits?”
A cube with amazing power that can revive the dead.
Its whereabouts are still unknown, but it is highly likely that Abaddon has already taken it.
Even in the original, the cube of living spirits belonged to Abaddon.
Then go back to the starting point.
The only remaining cubes are the ones I belong to.
Abaddon will surely try to get all five cubes in my hand… .
“… .”
Solia looked at me with a serious face.
Here is a human with two cubes that Abaddon coveted so much.
It’s even owned, so you can’t take it away!
“Such.”
I smiled awkwardly and scratched my head.
“I must have been thrilled because they wanted to catch me and kick me.”
In fact, it wasn’t that Abaddon didn’t attack.
The Castica Territory had only been defended that much, but there were countless experiences that almost killed him.
Of course, it is somewhat chilling in the spine in that it is questionable whether it was Abaddon’s history.
Solia muttered with a cold face.
“If anything happens. I don’t want to make that assumption, but… .”
Solia continued to speak with a trembling voice, as if her mouth could not be released.
“I think you will be in danger.”
It’s still not an established fact.
Abaddon might have taken a step back just to have time to reorganize.
But, if.
If Abaddon gathers scattered troops and attacks Castica.
I wondered if I could stand it.
Of course, if it’s a risky raid, it’s a bit more realistic to attack the Ecliptic rather than Castica first.
If you are vigilant, you could be really hit in the back of the head.
“I have to prepare.”
keep in mind
One branch is one, not two.
A blown neck never comes back.
Therefore, this level of overreaction is not a problem at all.
I will ask the Imperial Palace for support, and borrow a little more of Han Tae-soo’s power.
In addition… .
I looked back at Solia and smiled.
“This is probably… Do you think this should be the one to ask for support?”
I didn’t come here for this, but somehow the subject seems to have changed.
Solia smiled as if she was taken aback by my clever words.
“Of course.”

same time.
In the dark hallway of the NGC area, only the voices of the two men reverberated.
Maybe it’s because it’s an arched structure in the shape of a cave?
The exchange of words here resonates quite gloomily.
Sepia was walking along Abaddon and listening to him.
“… Is that why you gave up on entering the Arkenent Territory?”
“right.”
According to Han Si-ha’s guess, what Abaddon was aiming for was the Arkenent Spirit.
It was a land that I tried to take over and over again.
An area with excellent commerce.
It’s a coveted area, but not for that reason.
In order to obtain the Count of Arkenent, who had a deep ties with the Castika family, Abaddon relentlessly targeted the Arkenent Territory and the surrounding areas.
To Abaddon, Tae-soo Han was like an Achilles heel, an existence that evoked a terrible sense of inferiority.
Without Cube, he was strong enough to keep up with him for the rest of his life.
The reason for giving up such a meaningful area and entering into an abrupt reorganization.
It was to attack Castica.
He collected three cubes and became stronger than before.
By now, it was time to prepare for a battle that would turn the tables.
Abaddon laughed lightly as he shared my plans.
An impression that is too weak for a child who is plotting this huge scheme.
Whenever Sepia saw him, he thought that he was a different person from his true image.
Then Abaddon called her.
“sepia.”
“Yes.”
“What happened to Han Si-hyuk?”
Sepia’s eyebrows rose at the sudden mention of the name.
It was a little embarrassing because it was the name Abaddon had spoken about after two years, but he made an effort to open his mouth calmly.
“Hasn’t it been quite a while already?”
Officially, Han Si-hyuk’s whereabouts are missing.
Sepia is hiding Han Si-hyuk, but Abaddon doesn’t know.
A cold sweat seemed to flow, but he persevered and said.
“I haven’t seen him since then.”
“I did.”
“Yes, it is.”
Abaddon shook his head and called Sepia again.
“sepia.”
“yes.”
“I’m not good at prophesying, but… I know very good prophets.”
Abaddon smiled slyly and dragged the horse.
“Do you know what they all said together?”
“What? Did you prophesy that we would accomplish a cause?”
Abaddon grinned at Sepia’s naive reply.
It was as if his mouth was stuck in his ear, perhaps because he liked the answer.
“That wouldn’t be bad, but it wasn’t that kind of prophecy. It’s that little boy who is annoying in every way. It was a prophecy about him… .”
Abaddon hummed and looked up at the light on the wall.
Hearing those cruel prophecies can’t help but feel better.
Abaddon looked back at Sepia with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said softly.
“They said a survivor of the Blasted Lands would kill Castica’s heir.”
“… .”
A prophecy that Sepia had also heard before.
What is the reason for bringing this up all of a sudden?
Her face turned cold.
Abaddon continued, as if enjoying her reaction.
“And, I want that prophecy to come true. Not only do I hate Tae-Soo Han, but I hate him even more.”
The survivors of Catablam would be Han Si-hyuk and Adela.
Abaddon muttered, mentioning the names of the two men.
“A little boy named Adela likes him so much… Well, I’m not the one who separates the desperate love like that. Perhaps the other is more likely.”
Sepia had a foreboding of Abaddon’s words.
He was smiling, but his eyes were not smiling.
“So I need Han Si-hyuk.”
A man fit for prophecy.
A human who can handle Han Si-ha, Abaddon’s thorn in his eyes.
So Abaddon opened his mouth.
“Sepia, I mean. There are two kinds of hatred in the world.”
One is an incompetent person.
second is.
“A man who deceives me.”
Abaddon stared at Sepia with cool eyes.
“Where did you hide Han Si-hyuk?”
