Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 113

113 – Yeongsan (7)

There are a total of thirty-two students in the fortress. It wasn’t a large number.

And they too could feel it clearly.

At this very moment, the extremely unpleasant presence of the devil is slowly creeping in from outside.

In other words, the place felt quite patchy.

Of course, this is not a common situation. When it comes to a devil’s invasion, you can’t help but feel some degree of tension, even if it varies from person to person.

Of course, their posture can be said to be quite firm just because they do not cause severe disturbance.

There may be many reasons behind that calmness, but the biggest reason is that this is the sacred mountain of the Sword Saint.

The appearance of the devil is clearly an unexpected situation and situation.

But isn’t the one protecting this mountain none other than the strongest swordsman on this continent?

Suho’s power was too great to be scared.

Also, even though they are still first year students, they are still students at the academy. Most of them were confident in their own strength, and as such, there were quite a few cases that aroused fighting spirit rather than fear.

“…… “I also wanted to step up and fight.”

For example, Aria was like that. Because just now, she was biting her lip with an expression of quite resentment.

It wasn’t difficult to understand what she was thinking.

‘Not only the old man but also his executioners all ran away. ‘It might not be a good feeling to be left alone.’

However, it would not be wrong to say that it was something that could not be helped.

After all, isn’t she still a 19-year-old student?

Even if this was a sacred mountain and she was one of the mountain’s residents, it would be reluctant to send her into direct combat.

It is not a situation that should be taken that seriously in the first place.

‘No, the old man would probably want to prevent Aria from fighting directly even if the situation was quite serious…….’

Well, that’s the Sword Saint’s wish. The important thing is that the situation is not so problematic that Aria needs to go outside the castle right now.

In any case, it will be resolved along the lines of Geomseong and his disciples.

Lucius would have good control over the students inside the castle, and even if there were monsters that came through the net of those who went outside, we would be able to block them.

So, in fact, the current situation was not so serious that we had to be very nervous.

‘There were definitely a lot of monsters, but still, if there were that many of them, it would be worth catching them. First of all, from what I saw, there was no such thing as a high-ranking devil.’

Of course, I can’t be sure because I haven’t looked into it properly, but anyway.

To put it bluntly, it was worth doing.

“…… Rather, I must say that it is surprising that they attempted to attack Yeongsan with only that much power.”

But the last thing that bothered me was that part.

I was actually quite nervous since there was Jibril’s prophecy.

This was an attack at a level that made me relax, but it wasn’t an incident so extreme that it made me nervous.

So that’s what bothers me.

“…… “If there is something more.”

I kept shaking my head, feeling a bit uneasy. If by chance the demon of Yurin tries to do something more, what more is left?

It was around that time that I heard a voice.

“Aren’t you thinking too deeply? “I don’t think that will happen.”

And then, with that familiar voice piercing my ears, I immediately woke up from my thoughts and had to turn my head.

A girl with ivory hair was standing there with her arms around her waist.

“Riche.”

“Oh, I was just taking a dip and this is what happened. I thought something might have happened since they suddenly called me together, but…….”

Beatrice came in front of me with a disgruntled expression, lightly shaking off her wet hair. Then, the cat briefly purred, just like a cat after a bath.

Of course, I didn’t necessarily express such sentiments.

“I guess you really liked the hot springs.”

Instead, I brought up something else.

I laughed and laughed.

“If you see that they are in there all the time.”

“…… No, not to that extent.”

Beatrice frowned slightly and responded. Not really, but, well.

Anyway, isn’t good something good?

I quickly changed the topic.

“So, where is Jibril?”

The question I am asking is about Jibril.

When I’m not around, Beatrice is in charge of monitoring her.

After listening to the story, he said that they had met each other when I was away.

So he was just the right person.

“Oh, she went into the hot springs with me too.”

The answer came back quickly. Beatrice nodded her head briefly, then she took a peek and looked back at the building behind her.

“…… Hmm?”

I had to blink for a moment because it was a building I knew. Is Jibril over there? Why.

“As you can see, we are now near the barrier stone. The installation method of the Yeongsan barrier itself has some similarities with Eastern magic, or something like that.”

“Aha.”

Still, I quickly understood the explanation that followed.

As long as there is a place suitable for her abilities.

Isn’t that what we brought here anyway to prepare for something like this? If there is a way to use magic efficiently, it is right to let it be done.

The fact that the barrier is strengthened by her magic is definitely a plus.

“But, Dante.”

“Huh?”

It was then that Beatrice suddenly planted her forehead on my shoulder.

At her sudden contact, I blinked and looked back at her.

And she flinched slightly.

“…… Um, why?”

It was not because of anything else, but because the saintess’s expression was somewhat prickly.

An expression that appears very rarely when there is something you don’t like.

It wasn’t like I had any guesses, so I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.

Soon she said, ‘I made known your sin,’ and secretly crossed her arms.

“Looking at how things are going, it seems like you and Miss Djibril knew something more. Is it wrong?”

I hesitated to answer that question for a moment, then just nodded at her with a puzzled expression.

“You are correct.”

“…… Hmm, as expected.”

Beatrice pouted her lips as if she was very disapproving, and I was left sweating, unable to speak.

From her perspective, I thought it was something that could make her quite angry.

She didn’t think it was necessary to say anything, but if the situation were like this, she might feel like she was being left out.

I tried hard to find something to say, but I couldn’t come up with a good excuse.

So I just gave up and tried to admit my mistake. Because I thought it was best.

However.

“…… Next time, please tell me in advance.”

“Huh?”

Unexpectedly, Beatrice didn’t say anything more and just calmly looked up at me from below.

Her eyes were calm, so to speak, but-.

“It’s disappointing, I feel left out. “But I am your first colleague.”

I could see. The very faint emotions contained in those golden eyes.

And it was definitely not a simple emotion like irritation.

Rather, as she said, it could be said to be much closer to upset.

When I say amazing, it is truly amazing.

‘I thought you would hit me at least once?’

I was inwardly dumbfounded, and perhaps it showed on my face as Beatrice quickly averted her gaze with a slightly embarrassed look.

“Why, why? Were those words that strange? “I expressed it honestly.”

“No, it’s not strange…” ….”

“Then what, why?”

As if she felt like she was being tickled for no reason, Beatrice straightened her fur again, looking like a sharp cat like before.

Still, she adds a few words.

“…… No, it’s just that Aria seems to have become increasingly distant from you recently. It seems a bit sticky. So, I thought about changing my attitude to be a little more friendly…….”

‘Hmm.’

“Well, doesn’t it have any special meaning? I just thought I should be nice to him on a regular basis…….”

…… Those few words were a bit long, but whatever.

I quietly watched Beatrice talking gibberish.

If I were to sum it up in one word, it was as follows.

I immediately put those words into her mouth.

“They say that when a person suddenly changes, the time has come for them to die.”

And at my words, Beatrice’s body instantly stiffened like a stone statue. The look in his eyes as he looked up at me was quite a sight to see.

Of course, I didn’t care and just smiled brightly.

“Still, it’s nice to see the child become so gentle. “Are you going to continue to treat me this way?”

“… ….”

Beatrice was silent, and I smiled.

In an extremely conflicting atmosphere, silence with different temperatures falls.

“…… Ha ha ha.”

What broke the silence was Beatrice’s small laughter.

She soon had a bright smile on her face.

“I didn’t know you were expecting that much from me. Such a blatant appeal. So, you actually wanted it?”

“Huh?”

But the words were a bit strange. What?

“…… I was determined to control my temper as much as possible, but I never thought it would turn out like this. Well, okay. “If that’s what you like, I’ll do my best to accommodate it.”

“Riche?”

I instinctively took a step back, and Beatrice also began to approach me, one step at a time.

He’s clearly smiling, but his eyes don’t actually smile.

“Where are you going? “Come here quickly.”

Beatrice stretched out her hand.

I quickly turned around.

“I remembered something urgent.”

“What’s going on? “I think I can help you too, right?”

And then an untimely chase broke out.

It was not at all suitable for the tense situation.

Every time I walked around the fortress, I received puzzled looks from the students around me.

“Dante, that guy too, you have to choose the right time and place when it comes to love fights.”

“You two get along so well, I’m jealous… ….”

Among them all, Nick’s laughing voice and Aria’s small murmurs especially caught my ear.

Especially the latter.

No, this is not a good relationship?
