318 – Moonlight (2)
Theo got off the carriage late while grabbing Ney.
‘······Well. ‘It’s funny that he became the Great Warrior of the Moon just because he went crazy for two days.’
Judging from Nei’s words, it seemed clear that the moon god was keeping an eye on the Ki practitioner.
So, Theo convinced himself, thinking, ‘It will be okay if I continue to train consistently.’
‘Anyway, training is training, but there are more urgent things than that.’
We must rally people to fight against [Leaning Mind].
Even at the minimum, the expected number of people is around 100.
Theo is not only the academy’s students and faculty, but also outsiders.
In other words, the plan was to take advantage of even people with shallow relationships who only had a superficial relationship with each other.
‘It will be 5 minutes before the opening.’
Where large numbers of people gather, incidents and accidents, big or small, inevitably occur.
So, a representative to lead the personnel in each part was essential.
‘Okay, let’s start from here.’
Theo began to draw a big picture in his head.
After completing some detailed planning, Theo contacted Taylor.
“Taylor. I have something to ask you very urgently. It may be difficult, but I hope you will listen.”

A few days later, in a quiet suburb located about half a day’s carriage ride away from Ellinia Academy.
For some reason, the place, which was rarely visited by people, was crowded with people. The number of people reached about two hundred people.
Most of them were academy students, but there were also occasional faculty members and outsiders.
People recognized familiar faces and started chattering.
“The Department of Heroes, the Department of Knights, the Department of Magic… Regardless of which department, all the famous students have gathered. Oh, you’re here too? Awesome, awesome.”
“Hey, look at how his face has improved. Aren’t you being too strict during vacation? Oh, were you invited by Theo too?”
“Yes, a person who works for Theo came to our territory and gave us an invitation!”
“Instructor, it’s been a while since I saw you. “This is the first time we’ve seen each other since you were assigned to the Heroes’ Department, right?”
“I see. There is no communication between the Department of Business Administration and the Department of Warrior Studies… So it’s nice to meet you at least like this. “Theo gave me a good seat.”
“Ugh. “A cute junior invited me, so I skipped everything I had to do in my schedule and came… It’s just that there is no separate Dottegi Market.”
“Slow down your voice, Oliver. “Others listen.”
“Did I ask you to listen?”
The sound of people chatting began to die down.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
It was because of six people walking towards them.
The people’s eyes widened when they recognized their identities.
“Seo, you are a saint!”
“Three… “I can’t believe I’m seeing the Demon Hunter here.”
“Ugh, wow… Why is the head professor coming out of there… It’s vacation right now…”
Isabella, the first saint of the Lenimid doctrine.
Guardian Knight Claire.
The head of the Shalon family and former second-ranked warrior, demon hunter Maximin.
Locke, head professor of the Department of Warrior Studies.
Eisha, a top-ranked first-year student in the College of Warriors.
And even Theo, the great warrior of light, was born after 200 years.
The six people stood in front of the people.
Maybe it was because there were so many people who are difficult to see even once in a lifetime, but no one spoke first.
People just stare at the six people with faces stiff with tension.
“······.”
In the heavy silence.
Theo opened his mouth quietly.
“Hello, I am Theo Lin Balderk, a first-year student in the Warrior Department at Ellinia Academy. First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to come all the way to my humble request.”
Theo bowed his head towards the people.
People’s hard faces softened somewhat. They applauded enthusiastically for Theo.
Theo opened her mouth again.
“I am thrilled that every single person responded to this sudden request without any prior notice. “I’m still young, but I think I’ve lived a good life.”
Theo’s sly jokes, which were different from his usual authoritative image, brought smiles to people’s faces. All the people with stiff faces suddenly disappeared.
Theo met her eyes one by one.
Then he spoke in a quiet voice.
“······If you have read the invitation, you will know that I am under great threat to my safety. They are a huge force operating in secret all over the continent. It would be appropriate to say that it is everywhere and nowhere. Those who previously invaded the academy were also members of this group. “It’s only a handful, though.”
Shock appeared in people’s eyes.
They looked at the people next to them and started whispering.
The whispering grew louder, but Theo did not stop them and left them alone.
Just Theo recited with a deep tone in his voice.
“······The name of the group is [Turning White]. “They are a collection of people who worship the Black Devil, make contracts, and have a twisted mentality to color the world white.”
“······.”
The whispering stopped in an instant.
People pricked up their ears and listened to Theo’s voice.
“[Turning White] Is composed of countless dot structures. Although it is said to be a point organization, there are many places that cannot be underestimated. For example, [Ford Company], The continent’s leading venture company, whose dirty and ugly truth has now been uncovered in detail by the religious sect. And······”
Theo’s next words were enough to surprise even the current warriors who had gone through many hardships.
“The Empire’s second-ranked guild [Lining Mind] Is also a loser. Among them, Guild Master 『Gold Sun』 David is also a contractor with the true Great Devil. [Lining Mind] Desperately wants my life.”
People looked at Theo with disbelief.
Theo wasted no time in getting down on his knees toward them.
“······Please help. [Turning White] Is an enemy too powerful for me as an individual to fight against. We need the strength of all of you.”
When people were speechless and looked blankly at Theo.
A man said.
“Hey, our handsome and talented junior. “I’m sorry for breaking the solemn atmosphere.”
[Ataraxia] It was Oliver, the guild’s divinity.
Hundreds of people’s attention was focused on Oliver.

Oliver continued his words without any sign of hesitation.
“My junior talks about [Turning White]. They’ve known about our existence for some time now. But the more you dig into it, the more incredible they become, right? “David, this is the first time I’ve found out that that idiot has a contract with the Great Devil.”
Oliver naturally called the master of the very large guild ranked 2nd on the continent an asshole. This is because Oliver and David once ate together as children.
Since it was a fact known only to those in the know, most people gasped and looked at Oliver.
Oliver raised his finger and pointed at Theo.
“Avoiding is one way, junior. Is there any need for you, junior, to step forward and confront those guys who have no answer? No matter how good it is to realize justice, if you fall behind, it’s all over. Am I wrong? “Are you confident that your seniors can make thousands more loaves of bread than me?”
The middle-aged people, including Maximin and Locke, only glanced at Oliver for a moment and did not refute or defend him.
Theo stood up silently and said.
“That is not the path of a warrior I pursue.”
Oliver laughed.
“Huh, what is the path of a warrior that junior Dang Choi is talking about? Do you mean to bring justice to all the bad guys you see? Even though you are the great warrior of light that has appeared for the first time in hundreds of years, let’s look at our reality. “That Maitre that your junior ate was a contract worthless, right?”
Oliver spoke passionately.
“Even if you end up in a dog poop, life is better, junior. Without going too far, let’s just look at that idiot, David. That bastard has been as genius as me since he was young? But they said they even made a contract with the Great Devil. Then the power would have become hundreds or thousands of times stronger. Even if everyone here rushes in, it won’t work. “That bastard is on a different level.”
Theo shook his head.
“I didn’t invite you to fight David.”
People tilted their heads.
Oliver asked back.
“Then why did you collect it?”
“I would like you to deal with the executives of [Leaning Mind]. “Without exception, all executives deeply agree with the twisted spirit of [Turning White].”
Oliver said, looking around at the people.
“Well, if you’re a member of this caliber, it’s worth it, as long as you’re not under contract with the Great Devil. There is the demon hunter Seonbaenim, and there is also the imperial black panther. But what about the most important thing, David? “David alone is stronger than all the executives combined.”
“One of my sponsors has decided to help me secretly. Among the people I know, he is one of the strongest people on one hand. He and I will catch David together.”
As Theo said this, he looked into the distance into space.
Other people also looked in that direction, but there was only a huge tree there.
Sararak─
However, the leaves were fluttering. As if someone had just been there and then disappeared.
