32. Society (7)
Damage from the explosion accumulated on the body, causing terrible pain.
He clenched his teeth until the tendons on his forehead swelled up, endured the pain, and moved according to his instincts.
“Professor Lucas! Here you go!”
Someone blocked my steps.
Harriet Bloom.
He is the dean of the Combat Faculty.
slowly approached him.
“Here, look over here.”
As I followed his hand, I saw a dead body of Baltan with the joints of his body bizarrely broken.
“Looks like someone touched it. By the time I arrived… … .”
Bloom shook his head in regret.
“Anyway, I was really surprised. I don’t think the demon must have taken the form of the president and was mixed among us.”
Passing by him, who was constantly chattering, he inspected Baltan’s corpse.
It’s definitely the right shot.
But there was a big problem.
… … How did Harriet Bloom know about this?
A little while ago, Harriet Bloom was not present.
was deliberately excluded.
Q&A dance.
Before he noticed it, he was aiming for a surprise attack.
School Academic Award. Deyan – Locke Sword, Foot Sword (拔劍).
Aerok’s traditional swordsmanship, Locke Sword. Among them, Deyan’s foot sword boasts a speed beyond recognition.
Sugung-
However, my sword slashed through the air in vain.
I realized the lack of stats.
“haha! Professor Lucas. you’re having a lot of fun yet… … I wouldn’t even feel bad.”
He knew everything about my condition.
Silence descended.
“Since when did you know?”
“The suspicion is from the first meeting. Certainty now.”
“Hey, can I ask why?”
Harriet Bloom.
He has been one of my guards from the first meeting.
because-
“Because I never revealed that I was of a different race.”
Although Lucas’s race is a heterogeneous race by setting, no one can recognize the fact that it is a heterogeneous race unless he reveals his identity as a human being.
The reason Lucas tried to thoroughly learn the language was also to perfectly blend in with humans.
But Harriet’s first greeting was-
-It is an honor to meet the Count of this race of the rumored race. Her name is Harriet, the dean of the Combat Faculty.
From that moment on, I was wary of Harriet.
Knowing a secret that no one knew was suspicious enough.
“Kah ha ha! right. Well, I think I’m being overly wary because of the peculiarities of your race.”
“… … .”
I deliberately refrained from speaking.
From here on, it’s out of my setup.
It is true that Lucas’ tribe is a heterogeneous race, but the detailed settings were not made. The reason was simple.
because it’s extra
However, the reactions of the demons I have met so far were all the same. As if there was something about Lucas’ race,
They acted as if they were their nemesis.
“But there’s one strange thing I’ve noticed while watching you… … Why don’t you use a bow?”
“Are you obligated to answer me?”
“ha ha ha! Still, I have a bond with them, but it’s too cold.”
“I don’t have any attachments to demons.”
“Then wouldn’t the child next to you be very upset?”
“Stop playing with puns.”
Whatever the case, he had to end it here.
‘Can I?’
No, you have to do it without yourself.

My future survival depends on it.
Kuwaaah!
Activated the aura and pushed a large amount of points.
Like a huge pillar of fire, it blazed and boasted a tremendous presence.
It’s not just about putting an end to the bastard.
Seeing this auror, I wanted anyone to come quickly.
It’s kind of like a beacon.
“I guess it’s not the ‘that’ race, it’s the energy of a huge perm. It would be unreasonable to fight within the barrier.”
It seems to have quite a bit of leeway for that.
But I can’t afford that.
As much as the hugely inflated size, the points also escaped tremendously.
There is no time.
“I’m sorry, but let’s end our meeting here. Next time we meet, it will be quite interesting. At that time, I will come well prepared, so be prepared.”
Curl-Rung-!
A fissure like a black hole appeared behind it.
“See you again, Professor Lucas.”
Can not be done.
I can’t let him go like this.

As if not to miss him, the support continued.
There is no time to even make such a judgment as to whose technology should be used.
It’s just the posture I’m most familiar with.
He raised his sword high and lowered it towards him.
Wow-!
Clink-!
Before he could fully lower his sword, the sword could not withstand the aura’s energy and broke.

Meanwhile, he had completely disappeared beyond the crack.
Ha ha ha-!
His laughter sounded like hallucinations.
* * *
Curl-Rung-!
The space was distorted for an instant, and a being spewed out of a huge crack.
“Ouch, ok… … .”
from one shoulder to the abdomen.
It is a deep wound that looks like it will be separated at any moment due to a large vertical cut.
“Oh, Orpega-sama!”
“Hurry up, get Orphega-sama!”
A large number of demons gathered around Orpega.
“Are you okay, Orphe… … .”
Kwajik!
“yes?”
In an instant, the arms that were facing Orpega flew away.
Before I even feel any doubt,
Wow!
This time, the entire upper body flew away as if something had been cut off.
“Oh, Orpega-sama’s meal has begun! Everyone run away-!”
But it was late.
Crazy! Aww!
Quad Duck! far!
Odd, oh, oh, oh!
Shut it off!
When the sound ceased, there was not a single living thing left around him.
Suddenly, Orpega’s eyes, which had a split body attached, opened.
“ね. 👑👑👑👑”
The traces of Lucas that were clearly left on his body, which were not healed even by his regenerative ability.
Wiping the deep cut, Orpega laughed like a madman.
If only I was a little late.
No, if Lucas’s sword had overcome that energy even for a moment, he would have already been dead.
It was a shocking result even if it was impossible to use all of his own power because of Grasco’s barrier.
‘Next time, I’ll cut you in half. Look forward to it, Lucas.’
Orpega’s eyes gleamed with madness.
* * *
“professor!”
Lit ran quickly and looked around me.
“Are you okay? Are you really okay?”
“Okay.”
Actually, I’m trying my best not to tremble with my whole body, but I can’t express it.
“Baltan is… … He’s dead.”
“Is Baltan the one who made a ‘covenant’ with you?”
She nodded her head quietly.
“then… … .”
But because of the professors approaching from there, the question had to be swallowed up.
“Professor Lucas, what the hell is all this?”
Ronald asked, looking around with a bewildered expression.
“There was one more.”
“Are there other demons?”
“for a moment. Dean Harriet… … Come on, please!”
He responded by nodding his head.
“Hey, this can’t be!”
Ronald seems to be very cocky.
If you find out that the Ritt next to you is also a demon, you will faint.
“It seems like things are getting too big. Take action right now… … !”
“No, I think you don’t have to do that right now.”
If a demon is enough to subdue a monarch-level bullet at once, it must be a fairly high-level demon. Since even such a guy has retreated, there is no big risk for the time being.
It was better to quietly build up the internal stability than to develop work by taking measures.
“by the way… … Heinz, do you know where he is?”
Perhaps the current state of Heinz that Ronald is most curious about.
But I don’t know this either.
I should have kept the bullet alive for that reason.
‘But if it’s the Aerokh Intelligence… … ‘
There is still hope.
“We are looking into it. I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
“Yeah, it’s encouraging that you say that. ha… … .”
Ronald’s troubles seemed deep.
“Right now, the positions of the president and the dean of a department suddenly became vacant. I know that the professors are working hard, but starting today, even if I stay up all night, I will fill that gap… … .”
Since the place for two people is a seat, the space will be huge.
It looks like there will be chaos in Grasco for a while.
… … I hope it gets resolved while I go to the conference.

For the knights, the ‘Society’ was like a tower.
The hottest potato this year at the conference is by far, Lucas’s ‘Battle with Demons seen from the situation on the Eastern Front’.
The lecture on the thesis was originally scheduled for the first day, but for some reason it was postponed to the last day.
Therefore, the people who flocked to the conference for the lecture were quite disappointed, but they were not without income.
All of those who initially gathered here were enthusiastic about Lucas’ ‘Battle with Demons as seen from the situation on the Eastern Front’, so it was a place to share various opinions derived from it.
In a way, it could be said that it was rather a divine move to be placed last.
Because the derived theories were also diverse, the debates favored by the ‘scholars’ were constantly taking place.
By sharing various opinions and breaking down the theories in detail, you can explore knowledge from a new perspective again.
This bizarre enthusiasm was not limited to those classified as ‘scholars’.
Those classified as ‘practitioners’ also attended the conference with great expectations from Lucas’ lecture.
It was because it was an opportunity to see the demonstration of Lucas, who is called the hero of the Eastern Front.
Besides, because of what happened in ＜Kylon Pavilion> a while ago, it was very fragmentary, but didn’t it reveal the power of Lucas?
Like those who adore strength, they were having a fun (?) time in their own way, comparing each other’s martial arts.
In fact, it was almost like a festival atmosphere.
The only thing far from this atmosphere was the faction gathered around the president of the society, Alan.
Like those who cries out for ‘schoolism’, they were sensitive to orthodoxy.
I didn’t like the situation where the theory of a stranger, even from Lucas, was heating up the academic world.
What’s more, do you think the conference is a neighborhood event, change your schedule at will, or force yourself not to participate if it’s not possible? There wasn’t much of a thorn in the eye.
Therefore, they aimed to make Lucas’ nose flat by thoroughly analyzing ‘the battle pattern with the demons seen from the situation on the Eastern Front’.
It was intended to make it possible for those invited to the conference for the first time to experience first-hand how great the authority of this conference is.
I was planning on doing that, but… …
‘Hey, can you come up with something like this?’
‘Theoretically perfect. The verification process is no problem at all.’
‘under… … Lucas, isn’t he a god?’
‘The fact that a thesis can be so much fun makes my undergraduate days feel so unfair!’
‘I want to go back to school days.’
Rather, he came to respect Lucas academically.
Of course, because of Alan’s eyes, he couldn’t express his feelings.
But to them, Lucas is an idol they admire, and his lectures have become like a concert.
‘Lucas… … With all the honor of this Allan, I will watch with my own eyes how great your lecture will be. And after all the lectures, I must… … .’
which-
‘I’ll get you an autograph on this thesis.’
So did Alan.
