Chapter 16 The Assault (1)
Alex’s resistance ended briskly.
Like Alex, it will be difficult to deal with the teachers Jane and Malia at the same time.
At the time when he exposed himself as a traitor in front of me, it must be said that Alex was over.
Alex will be on the disciplinary committee soon.
From there, it is the role of teachers.
… … And it’s my turn to fulfill my role.
“After all, we need a vanguard.”
After discussing in the training room, Aten spoke as if he had reached a conclusion.
I nodded.
We confirmed each other’s roles in the training room.
If you fight as a party in the future, you have simulated what position you will be in.
Aten is one of the few people who have seen me fight right in front of my eyes.
Thanks to this, I can objectively review my fighting style.
As a result, I have come to the conclusion that it is advantageous to fight at a distance.
When fighting the Slavs in the dungeon,
When you defeat the golem,
When facing Renzo,
When dealing with enemies, I often end up close, so I have a strong sense of avant-garde, but in fact, I am the rear-end.
Most of the fight, the last attack was melee, but the ‘throw’ helped a lot to drive it there.
Injuring a Slav by throwing a dagger, making him visible,
Throw a weapon at the golem from a distance, limiting the attack method,
Consistent ranged attacks against Renzo, hiding my last moves, etc.

Now that Chryselakatos can also be used, its function as a rearguard has improved even more.“The best choice as a avant-garde is… … .”
“Aster Evans.”
At my answer, Aten’s face turned like shit.
Well, I guess Philly’s magic is still working.
According to Philly, it’s not a very powerful magic, and the more time they spend together, the more they will loosen up, but this state seems far away.
Actually, I don’t want to bring Aster to the party either.
The ideal would be to organize my own without destroying Aster’s party.
And it’s best for those two parties to advance toward the game’s strategy.
So, I don’t think the best members of Aster Party will be touched.
… … Atten was originally one of the best members, but somehow it became like this.
“Then how about that Aster’s older sister?”
“Your sister?”
Aten’s head tilted.
Aten doesn’t know.
“Elyn Evans. He’s the best swordsman among Constell’s students.”
“If you are the strongest of the Constell swordsmen, don’t you surpass Mr. Aster?”
“… … Ah, that’s it.”
Aten’s question is understandable.
Aster also uses a sword.
It is a trap of the word ‘best skill’.
“It’s not that I’m the strongest among the swordsmen. That ‘skill’ is the best.”
“… … Aha.”
Elin Evans.
The formula given to her as a ‘swordsman of the highest skill’ is obviously a tribute to her.
At the same time, it also shows her limitations.
Unlike Evans, Elin has no powers.
Also, ‘ki’ is not enough.
In the world of Etius, mana and auror are essentially the same substance called ‘chi’.
Elin has already learned the aura, and can use various techniques derived from that aura, but she doesn’t have enough mana to lead a long battle.
In the case of ‘Sunfire’, which is used as a main skill, once in a battle, and twice if overdoing it.
In other words, a character who can overcome all those shortcomings with one skill.
‘The innate stamina won’t be that good. Maybe that’s why I learned to sleep while walking.’
Elin sleeps most of the time except for training, classes, and battles.
It’s almost 100 percent, especially if you’re moving around silently.
When playing the game, it just looked like a gag element, but if you go inside and look at it, you can see its own circumstances.
“Anyway, he’s more than enough for our party.”
“Isn’t it hard to bring them in if there’s too much?”
Well.
The theory always hurts.
“You have to talk.”
Chances are not zero at all.
Since we killed golems together, we developed a kind of comradeship.
… … Is not it?
* * *
disciplinary committee.
Alex sat in the center, watched by all the teachers.
Both arms were filled with restraints.
The seat where Edwin von Behertio once sat.
Alex, who pushed Edwin, now the situation is the other way around.
“What are you waiting for?”
Someone opened their mouth.
It was ‘Isamaya’, a history teacher.
Isamaya glanced at Alex with an annoyed expression.
“In this case, the teacher betrayed Constell and put the princess in danger. This is a case without any defense or advocacy. You must immediately deport, sue, and be charged with the crime. We don’t even have a committee.”
“Isamaya-sensei, don’t be hasty.”
“I just hate wasting time.”
Despite the restraints of the other teachers, Isamaya did not back down.
“You mean the Frontier students got the evidence? That was confirmed by Jane and Malia. There is no argument.”
Jane was a little surprised by Isamaya’s words.
‘Hey. I thought Isamaya would hate Frontier.’
Isamaya had previously been humiliated by Frontier.
Frontier wasn’t taking notes, so he asked the question as a test, but on the contrary, his inner self was revealed and the students laughed at him.
As Frontier is famous, rumors about it spread quickly.
Jane said frankly.
“I’m surprised. I thought Isamaya would hate Frontier students.”
“Of course, that cheeky little boy is offended.”
Isamaya shook her head as if it was natural. There was also a runny nose.
“It is my personal feeling, and it is not a matter of misrepresenting the facts.”
Isama who says so.
Jane smiled and laughed.
“But this committee is not to accuse Teacher Alex. As Isamaya-san said, the charges against Teacher Alex are firm.”
“sure?”
“It is to understand the full story of the case.”
“The whole story is understood. I knew that Teacher Alex was a traitor.”
Malia has not yet told the other teachers about Elysia.
To speak at this disciplinary committee seat.
The most important thing at Constell is the safety of students.
Most of the people here are unaware that the Imperial Palace was involved in this case.
It’s just an extension of the Renzo incident.
Renzo attacked Atten and Frontier, and a traitor in Constell who helped Renzo.
As long as it has now been revealed that it is Alex, we have no further doubts.
“That was not the case.”
said Jane.
The full picture of the plan Frontier drew from Alex.
Although Malia had heard of it, it was very questionable.
This is especially true of the mention of the princess ‘Elysia’.
“… … So where should I start?”
Malia slowly opened her mouth.
There was so much information I got at once, but I recited them one by one.
The true culprit, Princess Elysia, is attacked by demons, and they are aiming for Aten and Rodrik.
Each time Malia brought out information, the faces of the teachers around her gradually turned into astonishment.
“… … lie. Elysia… … .”
Someone spit out a very natural feeling.
“Then we can just get rid of the magic circle that attracts those monsters, right? Did I say ‘Rafflesia’?”
“no.”
One teacher’s suggestion was rejected by someone with a single blow.
It was Vinkis, a teacher of summoning magic and magic.
“After listening to Malia, the killer had already made a plan. In other words, there is a high probability that the magic circle has already been completed.”
“Is that a problem? Even if it is complete, if we only damage the circuit,”
“If I had done that, I would probably have put my hands on the magic circle to activate. If that happens, it might cause more damage than if you didn’t know the plan. The interior of Constell will be the most cluttered.”
At Vinkis’s words, the teachers’ faces became pale.
Isamaya asked.
“Then what should I do? Are you going to have to wait for the enemy’s plan to go like this?”
At those words, Vinkis licked her lips.
After thinking for a moment, the words that came out of her mouth were unexpected.
“… … Yes. That would be best.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“You have to wait for the enemy’s plan to begin, and aim to block it with the least amount of damage.”
In other words.
Elysia’s ‘attack’ cannot be stopped as long as it has progressed up to this point.
So let the planning begin.
But as long as you know you have a plan, you can thoroughly defend yourself.
“Then the most important thing is that we don’t let the enemy know that we know the raid plan.”
“Yes. On the surface, Constell should be plain as usual.”
Understanding what Vinkis said, everyone nodded.
“First of all, you need to ask for help from those around you. We must not be caught, so we are a small elite.”
Ask for help around you, a few elites.
The teachers’ eyes naturally focused on one of those two keywords.
It was Malia de Roach.
Ampere and Atzier, the Roach family with huge talent.
“… … I will pass it on.”
Malia said in disbelief.
Jane asked.
“What about the students?”
Everyone was silent on the question.
They are the guardians of teachers and students.
However, if the students are informed of this plan, it is obvious that Elysia will find out.
Besides, will they be able to keep Constell without the students?
As a result, even if it is a direction to further reduce harm to students,
“All schedules in Constell will proceed as scheduled.”
At that moment, a heavy, subdued voice.
everyone saw him
It was Chancellor Osprit.
“Nothing will change.”
A resolute voice, as if there was no objection.
When Osprit comes out like this, the conclusion is nothing short of set.
All the teachers nodded.
* * *
In the room of the Roach mansion, I stayed in my thoughts.
There is no way to know exactly what the teachers will do against the raid.
But I’ll give you the bare minimum.
And above all, it cannot prevent the ‘attack’ from happening.
I couldn’t stop it even though I tried all sorts of things with Aster.
Rather, more sacrifices were made.
So what I do is a little different from others.
If you can’t stop it, you have to get rid of the master cap.
There is only one way.
‘Kill Elysia.’
Elysia is a determined villain, no matter what.
If you don’t kill it now, it will only annoy the player the further back you go.
However, it was never possible.
Aster gets a lot of attention from the people around him, and he can’t move freely because of the many entangled relationships around him.
I feel like I’m being watched over every move I make, so if I do anything wrong, I get suspicious.
Elysia is not in the Imperial Palace at the time of the plan, but monitors the situation inside her tower.
It was impossible to get out of Constell with Aster’s body and get there.
But if it’s me.
If it’s a frontier, it’s possible.
A country where no one cares.
‘… … It’s a road we don’t know again from here.’
The true culprit of the Aten attack, the accomplice, the future plan, and even the way to destroy it.
So far, everything has been going as far as I know.
The path to subdue Elysia is a path that is completely unknown from this point on.
“… … Well, it’s strange.”
Has everything ever worked out the way I wanted it to?
Even in the game, I failed because I couldn’t handle it all.
Failure is accustomed to
Whether in games or in real life.
[Main Quest: Attack]
– A large-scale attack by demons occurs in Constell. Be prepared.
– If the response is insufficient, there is a possibility that the named character will be lost.
I checked my smartwatch again.
Main quest I haven’t seen in a long time.
It’s been quite a while since I first got this quest.
… … You have given me enough time to prepare.
The raid is coming soon.
“However.”
I have a place to go today.
In preparation for this raid, in order to get the best helper.
It was a very appropriate time.
