Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 55

college robbery

I broke up with Rachel naturally.

Now that the allusion has been lifted, doubts will gradually grow. You will come to realize that Veronica’s proposal, which you took for granted, is by no means out of the ordinary.

As my obsession with making money, which was close to an obsession, diminishes, when I feel uncomfortable that something is wrong with what I’m doing, I plan to appear in the form of Arsene Lupin and help her.

Of course, Drakhan would not be obediently observing the situation. Of course, it didn’t feel like Drakhan was pouring his heart out to Rachel when he looked at the past through marbles, but there’s no reason to wait for one of his multifaceted plans to fail in vain.

But that’s only relative. For the ultimate goal of creating dragons, Drakhan carries out several conspiracies simultaneously. Among them, there are plans that really put the world in danger, so they are treated as villains in the original work.

Rachel’s experiment is just one of Drakhan’s many plans. If it comes to an alternative situation where you have to choose one or the other side by side with a much more important plan, they’ll give up on Rachel without hesitation.

That was exactly what I was aiming for.

To prevent even Drakhan from touching Rachel prematurely, tying it up with a much more important plan.

We already know what the core plan Drakhan worked on the most.

That’s the ‘red dragon of the apocalypse’.

It was an operation boasting a truly crazy scale, and it was virtually the same as saying that it would destroy the world.

Anyway, in the original story, the main character’s actions will block it, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put my hands on it first.

It looked like it had to be busy for a while.

First, I went home and changed into a phantom thief’s outfit. I’d like to meet Rachel right away and help, but it will take quite some time before I can completely free myself from the allusion and make up my mind to get my support.

Before that, it was necessary to lay the groundwork to stop Drakhan’s plan first.

The most important of these is to steal artifacts that will become the core.

In other words, stealing items from Drakhan.

Isn’t that the most appropriate method for a phantom thief?

[Aren’t you worried?]

“Well, if you get caught by them, you might die right away.”

But if you don’t get caught, that’s fine.

Besides, I have my own beliefs.

“The absorption of the pearl is over.”

definitely feels A flow of magic that became much stronger than before.

Thanks to fully absorbing the power of the pearl, I achieved rapid growth in an instant.

Of course, if you fight Siegfried fairly in the present state, you will become an icy in 1 second.

It didn’t matter that my personality was magic, that is, magic specialized in unjust fights.

What if you get caught?

Can you do anything more than meet a terrifying end?

“Then shall we go?”

[okay. It’s a comeback after a long absence.]

Today’s haircut was none other than the university.

Universities are institutions with a much longer history than you might think. It existed in industrial England, as well as in the Roman Empire long before it.

Oxford University, which is famous even on the real world right now, was founded in 1096.

It means that it was founded over 1,000 years ago.

Of course, it is quite different from what modern people think of, but the important thing is that the university is the country’s highest level of academic education.

Therefore, it is only a difference of point of view, and there are a lot of treasures that have a value that is not inferior to that of any museum in this university. Although the value is focused on the academic part, the general public cannot relate to it well.

Today’s target was the Archaeological Society within the university.

Doesn’t the name alone make it seem like a phantom thief will covet you?

So I decided to steal it.

If you do, you shouldn’t have named it Archaeological Society.

What we are aiming for this time is a treasure called an angel’s trumpet. More precisely, should I call it a relic?

It was hard to see this guy as of great value at the moment.

Recognition of an ancient relic whose purpose or source is unknown.

Fortunately, Drakhan is the only one who can guess what the purpose of this trumpet is.

[It must be difficult for children of the underworld to recognize easily. Because nothing changes with just one trumpet.]

As the Goddess said

There is a set of this angel’s trumpet. If you don’t prepare the two together, you’ll end up with a useless antique.

The reason why Drakhan dared to leave the trumpet unattended at the university was that he was putting the plan on hold because he could not find another mate.

There was no need to procrastinate any further. Immediately, I used magic and carefully entered the university building.

‘There it is.’

A trumpet sleeping in a transparent glass tube.

As for the people around him, all he had was an old professor.

It must be difficult to ensure strict security in a university where anyone can enter freely. Even that trumpet is just one of those common relics that nobody cares about right now.

It was a waste of even having to use some special trick. For a while, the professor took a break to go to the bathroom and took the trumpet out of the coffin.

And instead, I put my card on display in an empty, empty place.

In fact, until now, I had sent a notice before the crime, but today I decided to leave only the card after committing the crime.

The reason, of course, was to sneak a peek before Drakhan noticed it. If you send the notice fairly and fairly, it’s obvious that Drakhan will respond accordingly.

Although it was a pity that I broke the iron rule I had always done, I didn’t want to take on a reckless challenge knowing that it was impossible. Besides, isn’t this romantic in its own way?

what? Where did your former self-confidence go?

Didn’t you say that you would confidently fight Drakhan by powering up with pearls?

What nonsense. I never said that.

My magic skills have also improved, so stealing without being detected is called a jean.

Why do I have to risk my life to let Drakhan know that I stole in such a dangerous way?

Why didn’t I send a notice?

It was to make the person who stole the trumpet mistakenly believe that it was not ‘Phantom Thief Raven’.

In other words, the card left over there was also a plain white business card card that was different from the usual one.

The words written there were like a kind of cipher text.

– The day when the prophecy of the apocalypse will be fulfilled is not far away.

Obviously, Drakhan, who was watching the trumpet closely, will also check the contents of the card I left behind.

“Maybe there will be an uproar.”

That ciphertext is simply ‘endgame.’

This means that the operation has reached its final stage.

Then, all members of Drakhan immediately stop other plans in progress and start preparing for the final chapter. This means that to them, it is a priority over anything else.

But it’s all a lie I made up.

It was the result of using a secret that would never be known if the original was not read.

Of course they’ll realize that my cards are fake over time.

But by that time, it will already be too late to turn back.

The important thing is to never get caught that I stole this trumpet. If I get caught, they’ll try to retaliate against me, even by burning their lives.

‘Isn’t this supposed to be a terrible end?’

Is that a reasonable enough guess?

Let’s not be careless. At first glance, it looks like they just left it unattended, but there is a high probability that the Drakan guys have put up at least one barrier.

After holding the trumpet preciously in his bosom, he sneaked out of the building with the utmost care.

The moment I thought it would have ended easier than I thought, as expected, Drakhan’s barrier began to move.

Perhaps it was designed to activate when the trumpet disappears outside the set distance.

“uh···.”

Seeing the golem in front of him, he shed a sigh.

It’s not particularly big, but at first glance, it looked terribly strong.

Moreover, the sound of the golem moving meant that the owner of the golem also realized that there was a problem with the trumpet and was fiercely approaching here.

In other words, they had to leave the scene as quickly as possible.

Woo woo-.

Sparkling eyes with a mysterious sound.

Is it correct to call those eyes?

Anyway, let’s run away quickly. Of course, it was unreasonable to go back to the building again, as no one could see it. In the end, I have no choice but to break through the guy and run head-on.

All you have to do is try it anyway.

‘I didn’t know you would see growth here.’

[Isn’t this a good opportunity?]

If you think positively, you don’t. He was a golem and not a human, so he was lucky.

If time continues to be dragged here, it won’t be a good thing, though.

Jiying-!

An ominous sound like gathering something.

A bright light grew stronger and stronger in his outstretched hand.

Immediately, I prepared to use magic to counter the opponent’s attack.

When I lifted the hat on my head, it was copied in two!

Is this copy magic? He held two hats in both hands and stared blankly for a moment.

A laser beam was fired from the golem’s palm.

I stood still, holding two hats side by side. Then, the laser, which was sucked into the hole in the hat, came out through the hole in the hat on the other side and headed straight to the golem.

pop!

“···Wow.”

Without realizing it, I was truly amazed.
