“What is all this?”
Evan looked at the materials in front of him and widened his eyes.
I laughed at this.
“Materials for me to study.”
To be precise, it was data related to black magic.
Those materials piled up like a mountain.
“Then why did I call you?”
“You said I will train.”
I have no intention of getting help from Evan in learning black magic.
Anyway, Evan doesn’t know about black magic.
So trying to help would only be a burden.
What Evan had to help with was the field of practice.
“I will learn magic by myself, so please be my opponent.”
Dalian opponent.
That was Evan’s job.
The people around me are busy with other things right now, so I had no one to deal with.
Then I just remembered Evan.
There was nothing he could be doing right now, and considering his skills, it was appropriate for him to be my opponent.
“Then what am I supposed to do while you learn magic?”
I tapped the contract signed by Evan.
“You should read the contract carefully and sign it.”
“What? That will allow access to the tower… … .”
“Is there only one? Is the paper that thick?”
Evan opened his eyes wide and looked at the contract.
He signed the autograph without thinking.
“Even if it is a paper handed over by someone you know, you should read it carefully.”
“you… … !”
I burst into laughter as I looked at Evan in surprise.
“Don’t worry. Because I didn’t do anything weird.”
I handed over the contract to Evan.
Evan read the contract slowly.
There were only good conditions for the content.
“It’s just that I belong to a temporary researcher. Instead of using the materials from the matop tower, all you have to do is share the data you researched. You own the research itself, so you don’t have to worry about sharing.”
“Hmm… … .”
Evan read the contract a little, then put it down on the desk.
“… … Why don’t you read more?”
There was still much to talk about.
Whether it’s about salaries… … Welfare benefits… … .
There were a lot of things I wrote with a lot of care.
These were the items that I made with all the power I had as a senior researcher.
Instead of hitting this stupid guy in the back, he took great care of me.
By the way.
Throwing away my splendid works like that?
“I think you would have done well.”
“Hmm… … .”
Did I just add something weird to the contract?
Hearing those words, I felt like I wanted to slap the back of the head for nothing.
“Anyway, are you saying that I can stay here and fight you?”
“right.”
Evan sighed and shook his head.
First of all, the story was told.
“How long?”
“one month.”
“It’s been a month… … . What happened after that?”
“Uh, yes.”
what will happen in a month.
The academy had a decent sized event.
It is the day many seniors return to the academy.
The day the saint comes to the academy.
“Then there is a homecoming day.”
‘The academy is the place where the saints meet their last, the ‘home’ of the saints.’
Homecoming Day was not a word made based on seniors.
The day the saints return to their homes.
That was the Academy’s Homecoming Day.
“The rebels will then move.”
I don’t really know the purpose of Aryandor.
I knew the rebels would move then, but I didn’t know they would come to the academy.
Still, I was thinking of going to the academy.
It is the place to go to Haruna, the most troublesome part of Aryandor.
The place where his sister Beatrix slept.
Because it was the place where Aryandor would come to the future that Haruna read.
To be honest, I want all the capable people and soldiers in the empire to protect the academy.
However, I couldn’t do that.
When that happens, Aryandor will change direction and aim for the imperial capital.
Because there is no need to aim at the academy.
The collapse of the capital is more damaging to us.
So you have to be prepared.
I had to create the strength to not lose to Aryandor.
We move as many troops as we can.
to draw out the maximum power.
Aryandor had to win.
“i get it. Then you know that.”
After hearing all of my stories, Evan tried to leave the room.
“Where are you going?”
“Study my magic while you learn it, didn’t I?”
“Oh, it was. By the way.”
I got up from my seat and raised the corners of my lips.
“Come to think of it, there was one thing I entrusted to you.”
Evan tilted his head at this.
“… … Work?”
“Yeah, I have something urgent… … .”
Everything I said today was true, but these last words were Gura.
It was revenge for roughly throwing away the contract he had made with great care.
***
The place where Evan is now was where Ian, the commander of the Imperial Army, stayed.
What Rudy did was to deliver a letter to Ian.
I thought it would be easy, even if it was a little annoying, but it wasn’t easy at all.
It was impossible to enter through the front door, and there was an uneasy corner to entrust a letter to someone else.
So Evan directly infiltrated the Imperial Army.
Getting to the place where the commander of the Imperial Army was staying was not an easy task.
The imperial army’s security was very strict, and they had to work very hard to get to where Ian was.
Let’s go through so much trouble and reach Ian… … .
“Rudi Astria sent you?”
“… … yes.”
Evan exhaled as if exhausted and looked at Ian in front of him.
“Why did a guy who can even use space magic send you?”
“Oh, is it space magic?”
Ian read the letter roughly and threw it in the trash.
“Tell me that you will find out.”
Evan looked at Ian with a puzzled face.
“… … Is that the end?”
“then… … ?”
When Evan heard the answer, he let out a deep sigh.
“All right… … . then.”
Evan tried to turn around like that.
Then Ian opened his mouth.
“Oh, and.”
When Evan turned around, Ian was smiling mischievously.
“Rudy asked you if it was a good experience. It’s a good practical experience, isn’t it?”
“Practical experience… … .”
An older brother, a younger brother, a star… … .
Evan groaned inwardly.
“Then I’m really going… … .”
“Oh, don’t go out in trouble, just walk out the front door. Don’t tell the soldiers.”
“… … .”
“You don’t need to do two real-world experiences, right?”
That way, Evan was able to get out and get a friendly guide from the soldiers.
***
‘ah… … .’
shabby neighborhood.
Small children are gathered, and there are only a few priests who are adults.
“Boy!!! Dangerous!!!”
Kudang Tang!
Suddenly, a girl jumps and rolls on the floor.
The little boy who was there looked at the girl with bewildered eyes.
“… … Lady?”
The girl called Saint jumped up from her seat.
“Hey, aren’t you hurt? Look where!”
“Wait, I think the saint is injured.”
The child looked at the knee of a girl called Saint.
Blood was dripping from the girl’s knee.
Still, the girl did not care about her knees.
I just looked around at the child in front of me.
“I’m fine! you! Where are you not hurt?”
“yes… … .”
“phew… … . thank god.”
There was a girl watching the scene quietly.
That girl was Haruna.
‘… … Is it a dream?’
Haruna looked at the girl called Saint.
The girl was already a dead saint, Beatrix.
‘This was a few years ago… … .’
It seemed like 10 years had passed.
He probably said that in the future he saw, that kid was hurt.
It was only slightly up to the knee, but… … .
Now that I saw this scene in my dream, Beatrix’s knee was pretty badly scratched.
Nevertheless, Beatrix was smiling brightly.
A person who never thought of himself, but only thought of others.
Such a person was Saint Beatrix.
He was a really stupid person.
When the scene ended, the scene changed in an instant.
Beatrix was looking at Haruna with sad eyes in front of her.
“Haruna, a saint is a guide. A guide who watches and sometimes guides the world on the right path.”
“Guidance is a dangerous position. Sometimes you may have to take responsibility.”
“But, when the world is on the right track. When people get to the right place. The sense of accomplishment at that time, the joy at that time is truly indescribable.”
“Haruna, I hope you can feel this joy someday too.”
With those words, the dream ended.
Haruna opened her eyes and got up from the bed.
“The guide… … .”
Beatrix was like a mother to Haruna.
Haruna was born in a rural village and had a very poor family environment.
taken from noblemtl.com
My father always used violence, and my mother didn’t care about Haruna.
It was Beatrix who saved him from such a situation.
Beatrix has always looked after young Haruna and taught her how to survive in this empire.
Haruna learned how to survive as a saint from Beatrix, and learned dimensional magic.
The day she learned dimensional magic, the first future Haruna saw was the destruction of the world.
Aryandor was destroying the Empire, killing everyone, and destroying the world.
Haruna was surprised and asked Beatrix about this future.
‘I finally figured it out… … .’
Then Beatrix had sad eyes.
His eyes were more pitiful than ever.
‘You don’t have to worry. I… … I’ll try to change it somehow. somehow… … .’
But Beatrix did not solve it.
Even though he sacrificed himself, he couldn’t change it.
‘sorry… … . You passed the responsibility on to the rest of the children… … .’
She said she was responsible, but in reality she was sacrificing herself to create opportunities.
In a future where there was no chance, she gave it a chance.
So I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
gotta catch it somehow
Haruna stood up.
“A guide.”
Today is four days before Homecoming Day.
It was the day Haruna headed to the academy.
