62 – Exchange Meeting (2)
Even among followers like her, there is a group that many people don’t want to associate with.
It is clear that those gathered here are their masters and loyal servants of ‘Alzeros’, who will reign as the legitimate rulers of this world, but that does not mean that all of them have good personalities and are free from conflict.
Rather, if you ask which side, there are quite a few people who are not very close to each other.
Squads who are impatient to cut each other’s throats or engage in sword fighting just by meeting.
That’s why, now that Aljeros is gone, the leader who leads the group, collectively referred to as the substitute by borrowing his name, has set some rules.
I don’t care what happens to someone else’s life, but it’s an undeniable fact that if it damages the power, it will have a huge impact on that person’s resurrection.
Anyway, back to the story from the beginning.
There is one person who is particularly avoided even among followers who are impatient to kill each other.
It’s not a matter of having a bad personality, it’s just a being that triggers people’s instinctive rejection.
“Cheating Geek! It’s just that it’s not a death squad. I wished it had taken a little longer. Chick!”
A man next to him frowned at the grotesque voice that sounded like he was scratching at a blackboard.
His name is Sirius.
From noble mtl dot com
He was a man who was given a final mission with a warning from the deputy after failing to recapture Astesia’s blessing in the Wizard’s Forest not too long ago.
He thought that as long as his comrades were helpful, he would not care about the outside, but he felt the need to change his mind today.
Just as much as that, the presence in front of him, the fraud flowing from the phantom, was alien and bizarre.
Even if it’s not just that unpleasant voice.
“Still, I will definitely pray for the power of the academy today. According to the information, many of the professors and instructors who were stationed inside went to Igrexia.”
Even so, Sirius didn’t show a bad mood and recited the details as calmly as possible.
At this, the phantom’s body bent bizarrely like a willow tree swaying in a strong wind, and his lips drew a dark smile.
Because of her body, which is not even human, it was already difficult to describe it as a smile.
“Cheating Geek! If so, I might be able to expand my work a bit! It is said to be the cornerstone of Alzeros-sama’s resurrection. I’m sorry if it ends small! Catch!”
Responding to Sirius’ words saying that he was right, the phantom uttered lines like a fanatic and his eyes radiated.
As the dense magical energy flowing around filled the confined space, Sirius felt his body being crushed by something.
Although he looks like a dry branch of a tree, he is not someone to be taken lightly.
Realizing that he was at least three numbers higher than himself, he quietly expressed his skeptical opinion.
“Then what will you do if you fail? They say it’s over if I die, but when the time comes, is there any way to withstand the wrath of the deputy?”
When this mission fails, Sirius hears and knows that there will be no more chances.
That’s why the attitude to the mission was different and different, but on the other hand, I thought it was because I wasn’t afraid of death anymore.
However, sometimes a greater pain than death comes.
Sirius implicitly asked the phantom if he was prepared to endure it.
Even if Phantom is considered to be quite powerful among his followers, the agent who was given power by Alzeros is far above him.
If you fail with too much prestige of your own abilities, and then be severely punished at the hands of that agent, even a phantom will not have the resilience to suffer.
“Kick! All you have to do is not fail! Snuggle Geek!”
“So much confidence.”
However, despite his warning, the phantom was relaxed.
Actually, since it was something Sirius had said, he had no intention of hanging around with it.
It’s not like he doesn’t know why Phantom is so confident in the first place.
Perhaps among his followers, no, even in this empire, there are few people who can handle hallucination magic as skillfully as Phantom.
To be more assertive, it can be said that there is none.
The unique magic that clearly embodies your world, especially the Phantom’s ability, which is located near the end, will not be completely destroyed even if you bring the five heroes of the Great War.
Of course, the story would be different in the case of the [Witch of Fear], The owner of the Mystic Eye, but she had already passed away a long time ago.
That’s why Sirius, in his heart, thought it was a game that he had actually won when Phantom said he would participate in this mission.
It would be even more certain if his abilities were combined.
‘If there is one thing I am uneasy about, it must be Olberus.’
The biggest variable is the existence of Olberus, the current manager of the academy and the seat of the Five Great Heroes.
Sirius’s true intention was not to go too far for that, but it seemed that it was not enough to change the mind of the Phantom who had already made up his mind.
It was only thanks to Phantom’s ability and plan that the majority of the power that was in the academy was taken out in the first place, so we have no choice but to wait and see.
As for Sirius, all you have to do is complete the mission no matter what.
“Cheating Geek! You better bring your stuff! I’ll help you get into hiding. Snuggle Geek!”
“Let’s do that.”
Coming out of the cabin, the two of them took a step and looked at the academy building below the ridge, their eyes shining.
Finally, the fireworks that signaled the start of the gig were about to rise.
* * * *
After joining Lizerote in the student council room, I immediately led him out of the building.
The solicitation of clubs for the 2nd and 3rd graders had just begun, and it was almost nerve-wracking to see so many cadets running around like ants, both inside and outside the building.
He came to me a couple of times and invited me, but I must be interested.
I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to join if it was a good club, but there was no offer that I was interested in.
– Chit, it’s annoying. Why does this body have to hide in the shadows of this first year and act like a hunting dog….
Meanwhile, Lizerote, who had been hiding in my shadow, muttered and muttered something that I couldn’t tell if it was from my heart or to myself.
If you see him muttering with the telephonic magic, he probably didn’t mean to spill out unintentionally.
It’s clear that everything is telling me to listen.
I’m dying of noise.
“Senior Geo, can’t you be patient for the sake of the cause? The person who is said to be the ruler of darkness is so narrow-minded….”
– Heh, you speak well. The one who dared to confine this body, the ruler of darkness, in the shadows.
According to the original setting, being in the shadows isn’t just frustrating, but I heard that it’s quite comfortable because you can see all the outside sights and there’s space inside.
Anyone who sees you will think you are in prison.
Above all, I don’t know what’s the point of mumbling about a story I decided a few days ago.
A three-year-old boy.
“Let’s not put too much weight on what we agreed on in advance. Why are you like a child?”
– I don’t like that brazen attitude! Well, if only I hadn’t owed Sir Olberus… !
I wondered why he obediently listened to my request, and that was the reason.
Well, originally, I would have had to live a lonely life without the arms of my mother, who should have raised me, but thanks to Olberus, I was able to survive, so I can’t express how grateful I am for that.
With that in mind, I’ve deliberately asked Lizerote through Olberus, but… Well, that was a good number.
Anyway, others won’t be able to hear the full sound of Lizerote, so I’m afraid I’ll look like a lunatic because I feel like I’m talking to myself.
Maybe that’s why the invitation to join the club has noticeably decreased since a while ago.
“Come to think of it, when did the martial arts start? I want to take a look.”
I’ve been exploring the site since morning, and I’m on the verge of yawning.
Lizé Lotte, the student council member, would know the schedule of the exchange meeting in detail.
– Did you forget what you said out of your mouth? You’re such a carefree guy in a situation where you don’t know who might come from where.
“I don’t see any signs of moving right away, so I wonder if it will be okay. Besides, other people are busy enjoying social gatherings, but if you’re the only one walking around awkwardly, there’s a high chance that you’ll stand out.”
– … I feel stupid for not being able to refute. The ball starts in 30 minutes, so you guys can take care of it. Joy.
Lizerote continues to say that she can’t do anything because she is bound by the shadows anyway.
I don’t know where the setting of covering my face was sold, but the attitude towards me is as comfortable as it is.
Well, it’s better than not talking to each other because it’s awkward.
By the way, this guy reacts sensitively, as if he’s strangely angry, whenever you talk about a prom…. If?
“Senior, are you upset with me because you regret not being able to attend the prom?”
– Do you think this body is a child! It’s not because I blew the opportunity to show off my cool side to others!
… It was real.
Speaking of the ruler of darkness and all, isn’t this just an 8-year-old kid who just wants to be praised?
Senior Sheppy handled this kind of guy well. She wonders if being a babysitter is her vocation.
