Chapter 31 Rumors (1)
I was in a desperate crisis.
I don’t know where Pascal came from or if he was thinking of something strange.
“I, sir. I can’t write an auror. Look at the faces of the students here.”
At my sincere words, all the students who watched me nodded their heads in unison. They were my reliable allies for now.
“Ahaha.”
Pascal laughed. It was a very dry laugh.
Then he looked at me and pulled his lips together.
“lie.”
There was a sense of incongruity, no, a sense of déjà vu in those words. I’ve seen Pascal’s actions and tone of voice somewhere.
who was that
“Then let’s go!”
Pascal exclaimed cheerfully as if he was making a game declaration.
Then the ghastly Auror’s sword ran through my face.
‘Hey, you crazy teacher!’
I pulled out ‘Neil Zach’s Shortsword’. Of course it was real.
gang! Kaang!
My sword and Pascal’s aura collided. A metallic sound rang out.
“Wow! You have a good sword! Frontier!”
Pascal said calmly. This one has a chill on the back with one attack.
This shortsword made of bipa steel is superior in durability and strength to ordinary weapons. Moreover, due to the characteristic of ‘Eternal Anticipation’, the sword itself is not damaged.
However, if it receives more damage than the limit, it may break altogether.
Until then, the sword is always in perfect condition, but if it exceeds the level, it will be completely shattered.
In terms of games, you can think of a sword with 100 durability as having the same performance as 100.
‘This teacher is overestimating what I am!’
There is no life in Pascal’s attack. just full of jokes
As if to quickly look at me and take out an auror to respond, I’m concentrating on making each attack annoy me.
Just like a frog gets hit by a stone thrown as a joke.
I am now a terrifying frog.
‘Ugh!’
Aww!
The short sword hit by the auror trembled. It was fortunate that while training with Atjie, he had become quite accustomed to combat.
However, this teacher doesn’t seem to know the extent of it, so if he doesn’t respond properly, he will really die.
“Ego! Come on out! I’ve even gone that far, Frontier!”
Taang!
“… … !”
Pascal forced the Auror inside and slashed my sword.
The arm holding the sword spread out, and my chest opened. Aiming for the gap, Pascal’s aura flew in a straight line without mercy.
—Damn it.

Neil Zach’s ShortswordWhoa-a-!
I weave a shortsword with the other hand and pierced Pascal’s aura with Parring’s trick.
The students who were watching the scene gasped.
“Wow, Frontier really wants Auror… … !”
“I hope it was true!”

No it’s not! you idiots!Read at noblemtl.com
No, it’s better if you think like that!“… … uh, uh?”
Again, Pascal tilted his head at the sight different from what he had imagined.
Something invisible hit the auror.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they both look the same because they are invisible anyway, but to Pascal’s eyes, they are not. Because Pascal has an auror. On the other hand, my woven shortsword is ‘really invisible’.
The students are a bit distant, and my auror appears for a brief moment and seems to be invisible, but Pascal will feel a strong sense of incongruity.
“Well, I will find out. Frontier students go back to their seats.”
“… … Yes.”
I tried to pretend my composure and turned my back.
‘What kind of child.’

No matter how much Pascal is called a ‘bad boy’, he’s not stupid and reckless. It’s just too much drive and curiosity.In other words, there is something that made Pascal behave that way.
‘I don’t know who spread the rumors, but Pascal will believe it because he has his own reasons. Trustworthy that I use an auror… … .’
As I thought about it, I realized one thing.
It reminded me of the story of Grovel, whom I met at Tayburn.
– Gregory That bastard is the problem.
– You don’t know? Gregory did not know that Serp was dead and went to his residence and was found out. Of course, the controlling crow was caught. So I’m looking for it, but haven’t been caught yet.
– Don’t forget! my brother! My little brother Rockbell! Don’t forget! I did my best!
Grovel was worried about his younger brother, Lockbell. I’m afraid Gregory will approach.
This is the information I learned while talking to Grovel, but at the time of the hut incident, Serp misunderstood that I was using ‘Auror’. Because Gregory, who gave Serf the information, was mistaken from the beginning.
In other words, it is highly probable that it was Gregory who gave the information to Pascal.
It’s still just a hypothesis though.
To verify-
“Selena.”
I whispered to Selena who was next to me. Selena was taking the same class because she was a combat student.
“Yes.”
“Investigate Rockbell. There was one little kid in the hut incident. The child’s name is Rockbell. Find out where you live and make sure you are safe. If possible, also make sure that the person named ‘Gregory’ has been in contact.”
Selena must have received most of the information about me from Mangot. You know what a ‘hut incident’ is.
“All right.”
As expected, Selena answered without further questioning.
I think I’ll keep my promise to Grovel sooner than I thought.

after school.
Queenie, the head of the Viet family, has a lot of trouble while returning home these days.
This is because she, who is in her third year, has to think about after graduation now that she is entering the second semester.
“Is that so worrying? You just have to live as the head of state, eat well and live well.”
A friend Anne, who was walking next to me, gave me a pinzan. Anne did not understand at first glance the concerns of Quinier, who had already decided what to do as the head of the household.
“If I was just going to be a merchant, I wouldn’t even go to Constell.”
“Uh… … ?”
Queenie has a dream.
Her family, Viet, was a family that went to the brink of collapse. Because she returned it with the power of Quunier, she became the head of the household.
If so, why did Viett almost collapse in the first place?
‘A family that just pursues money has no power.’
Quinier believed that the reason the Viettes fell because they did not have the strength to defend themselves.
Before she became the head of the household, the Viet family tried to solve the problem through diplomacy with other families, including the protection and defense of the family. In other words, they were trying to trade financial gains and the defense power of the family.
Knights of other families or free knights, if necessary, mercenaries were bought with money to strengthen the defense of the family.
At first, there were no particular problems. As long as fair trade continued, there was no problem in the defense of the family.
The problem was after the Knights Templar, which the Viet family bought with money, or the family, joined hands with the hostile family trying to destroy Viet.
Viet, who lacked the strength to protect herself, could not be free from coercion by force.
It was like making a deal with someone holding a knife. Of course it couldn’t be done right.
‘Right now, other families are still watching, but I don’t know when that will happen again.’
because you have to prove If she, the head of the household, has enough power, she won’t even think about tampering with it again.
After graduating from Constell, dealing with demons, and making enough achievements, knights will gather in her family as well. That way, you will be able to have a knightly order under your family.
“The question is, are you going to become a pro or a knighthood… … .”
When you become a pro, you receive a mission, and to some extent you can choose to cook. In other words, it can be carried out while serving as the head of the household.
But being a pro doesn’t mean much, so it takes time to achieve that level of achievement.
Conversely, once they become knights, they will be recognized by the surrounding families, and it will be easier to summon other knights. In many cases, the headmaster himself is the knight leader.
It’s just a matter of whether the current Queenie family and the Viet family can afford it.
– Did you hear that rumor?
Then again, something tickling in Queenie’s ear was heard. Two female students were walking and talking. When I listened for a while, it wasn’t a big deal, like someone confessed to whom.
“There seems to be a lot of gossip these days.”
Quinier is aware of the latest sparkly rumors. As a merchant, of course, she values information, and most information, down to the smallest details, flows in front of her.
“It’s a new semester. And a lot of very promising talents came into the first year this year.”
“Young people are envious.”
“yes. Two years younger than us.”
Anne grinned and retorted.
Queenie likes to get a lot of gossip. Sometimes important information can be obtained from it. It is also my role to hide the authenticity.
… … but.
‘These days, I think there are too many.’

No matter how much the new semester was, even if there were many first-year students who had many prospects.There are many rumors that have nothing to do with it, and this situation is somewhat bizarre.
The latest rumors are sporadic with no connection whatsoever.
It makes you feel some artificial manipulation.
“… … !”
At that moment, Queenie stopped walking.
On a wall in the hallway where Queenie and Anna were passing, there was a large ‘Magic Signpost’.
Magical writing was a method of writing letters on the wall using mana luminescence, without the need for paper or a pen.
At a glance, the scribbled letters look as if someone had played a malicious prank. As for the subject, the large ignorant large paper filled the void in the wall.
its content. Quinnie stopped there, as if nailed to it, staring at the pavilion.
[Queenie de Viett has an extreme phobia of corpses.]
[Queenie de Viett did not enter Constell to improve her skills. It is hidden in Constell.]
“──Ha.”
Anne, who was next to her, let out a smirk mixed with sighs. Quinnie gave me a word to worry about unnecessary worries.
“Well, if there’s a lot to talk about, rumors like that are floating around.”
“… … .”
“Queenie?”
Anne dismissed it as a rumor.
Quinn’s expression wasn’t like that.
Quinnier held her hand once, then released it, then held it again.
It was a habit to hide the trembling.

two days later.
I heard Selena’s report from the mansion.
It had only been a few days since they asked for an investigation into Rockbell, but it seems that Selena had already completed the investigation.
“Frondier. Before reporting, I have a question for you.”
“what?”
“Frondier, can you trust my report?”
Selena is a member of Mangot. It is inevitable that she and I will doubt each other.
I told Selena to betray Mangot, but that was my one-sided promise. Selena can refuse if she wants to, and I have no way of knowing which side she took.
But I had some kind of certainty. Selena will be my ally. And even if you don’t have to be an ally.
As long as Selena is who she is and has a desire to return to her family, Selena has no choice but to grant my request.
My order to report on me to Mangot ‘moderately’. In fact, Selena is already following that order. Because you’re not talking about ‘ancient language’.
“Believe.”
“… … .”
“I have no reason not to believe it. At least you have no reason to lie to me on this matter.”
“… … All right.”
Selena nodded deeply.
“First of all, Rockbell is safe.”
With those first words, Selena’s report began.
