I waited for about a minute, but no response came back. The Jackal stared into Mubartrigger’s eyes and said.
“As you can see, it’s just you and me here. If you took out the knife like that, come in now.”
The knives held in both hands of Muba Trigger reminded me of the teeth of a venomous snake. But the jackal thought the venomous snake needed a modifier.
A poisonous snake that cannot bite.
The jackal deliberately spread his palms to show off his empty hands. And as he expected, the opponent only glared at him, but did not take any offensive. The jackal sighed and gazed at the ceiling of the auditorium.
“It’s 10 years in number. … Your father took your mother and son back when you were 5 years old.”
“… … ”
“In the meantime, I felt something while watching you.”
The jackal felt annoyed even as he spoke. Not because Mubartrigger is holding a sword, but about the fact that the sword he’s holding doesn’t move.
After a while he started walking towards Mubartrigger.
Tumble- Tumble- Tumble-
It was a gait that was neither slow nor fast. The jackal neither exaggerated his leisure nor caricatured the situation. He just said in a calm voice.
“It’s just the two of us listening. So now, let’s be really honest… you. Do you really have a grudge?”
“… What, you bastard?”
“Don’t bark, answer me!”
Tumble- Tumble- Tumble-
The jackal stepped on the steps of the auditorium and stopped for a moment. It was because I felt deja vu. This position now was the one where John and himself collided. Then he thought it deplorable. All in all, this bastard, with whom he had distant blood, was more meaningless than the scion of a ruined family, whom he had met less than half a year ago.
“Also… ”
The jackal said to Mubartrigger, who still did not attack.
“What about your dead mother, resenting my dad, waiting for the right time… The sounds you barked at were all bullshit, right?”
“Well, this baby.”
Turduk.
When the jackal stepped onto the podium, the two were at eye level. Mubartrigger wanted to tell the jackal not to come, but he couldn’t. The jackal added, looking at Mubartrigger, who was twitching.
“If not, come in, you old man. I am a patient without a weapon. What are you afraid of?”
The jackal walked again.
Tumble- Tumble- Tumble-
The distance between the two was less than 1 meter. As for Muba Trigger, he was in a position where he could even slash the jackal’s face if he was determined.
But the jackal said, sticking out his face.
“Let me help you some more.”
“… what are you helping me with?”
“Last year… . It was I who insisted on getting rid of your mother’s tombstone.”
“… what?”
Mubartrigger’s eyes widened.
“this… A bastard?!”
“So stop barking-”
The jackal took a deep breath and stomped his feet to make a ‘bang’ sound.
“Please! Poke me!!!”
The jackal’s voice echoed through the auditorium. Overwhelmed by that force, Mubar Trigger took a step back. The Jackal then reached over and grabbed one of the Mubar Trigger’s knives.
It was the blade part of a knife. Red blood leaked out of the jackal’s clenched fists.
“Ugh… hey! you!”
“me. What.”
“This, this… don’t you let go? It bleeds!”
“What is blood? Wasn’t it like this anyway? It must be a picture you have drawn several times. Originally, fighting is one of two things. Either you get blood or you bleed.”
The jackal looked at his own blood running down his wrist, as if he were looking at a still life that had nothing to do with him, then at Mubartrigger.
“Why can’t I stab you because I’m holding you? In case you forgot, you are carrying two knives.”
“Such a crazy bastard… You’re the eldest son… .”
Instead of letting go of his hand, the jackal gave more strength to his grip. Then, with a thump, the blood dripping from the jackal’s palm fell to the floor of the platform.
“Mubar trigger. Your excuses are always like that. disgusting fellow.”
“What do you mean?”
“You always talk here and there that you curse our family. Well, even if I can’t sympathize with you, I can understand you. What disgusts me is the next part.”
The jackal’s voice gained strength.
“Even though you curse like that, you bark at me saying that I can’t move because of the prestige of my family! why! Am I wrong?!”
The knife on the other side of the Jackal’s grip trembled. The Jackal was pleased with the anger Mubartrigger had displayed.
“okay! If not, try stabbing him now! As you can see, I have no weapon, and the other hand is in a cast. Isn’t it perfect?! This is the ‘time’ you’ve been waiting for so long. how is it? Do you think there could be a better time in your life than this?! isn’t it? Do you think now is the best time?”
Jackal punched himself in the chest with his arm as he was wearing casts.
“No matter how stupid you are, you won’t know where a person’s heart is. So, poke it! No need twice! It is an illusion to say that the opponent is a formidable enemy, and that one must prepare a sword and a great horse to attack. All you have to do is create a situation where you can cut the other person’s lifeline. And now is the situation. You’ve prepared a knife like this, haven’t you? Just stretch it out! ruler! do it!!!”
The jackal’s grip on the blade tightened even more. If left alone, the finger might be cut off like this.
“야이, 병신 새끼야! Do something!!!”
iron puck.
At the jackal’s shout, Mubartrigger sat down. The knife the jackal grabbed was left behind.
The jackal cast a look of contempt at the slumped Mubartrigger.
“Poor fellow… Prepare a hundred knives, not two knives. The only thing that can be taken with that much determination is the instep of your foot.”
Clink and do it.
A bloody knife landed on the seat next to Mubartrigger. The jackal said, rubbing the blood flowing from his palms on his waist.
“Once I overheard the maids gossip about my father… Those bitches seem to think you’re pushing me because of your bloodline.”
Mubartrigger looked at the bloody knife lying beside him.
It was a moment of bewilderment.
what was it
his long wait.
Like the jackal said, have I been talking so much about resolutions that I couldn’t even put into action?
“It is bullshit. Bloodline… That’s what I can say because I don’t know my father properly. If you had thought you were better suited than I to be the heir to the family, you would have chosen you without hesitation.”
With no response from Mubartrigger, the jackal turned around. Anyway, as Yohan said, we have to evacuate the dormitory children. He knew Mubartrigger had been learning dagger throwing for a long time. But the jackal was not wary of him. It was, so to speak, a test of oneself.
‘It’s absurd to say that you will move the empire on the subject of not being able to make even the bastard of the family on your side.’
“So please, get rid of the delusion that you can’t relax because you’re a bastard. A little.”
And until the jackal left the auditorium, Mubartrigger didn’t move.

The three main characters were silently running after me. He said he was wearing a raincoat, but since he was running with the hem fluttering, he couldn’t expect much of a waterproofing effect.
When I ran along the slope for about 5 minutes, Adrine, who had been silently following me, asked.
“Where are you going?”
“It’s a graveyard.”
“Cemetry… Do you feel like living there?”
I didn’t answer. If I answered ‘yes’ to her question, she would know right away that it was a lie.

Now I’m not chasing my life. As the developer of this game, I only know the starting point of the event [Chief Kirov].
Along with the aptitude of [Water], Kirov has another aptitude at random. And the starting point of the event varies depending on the aptitude of the random.
And her second aptitude had already been revealed by her last visit to the canal.
Her second aptitude is [Life]. The only aptitude that can create a chimera through combination.
Pirallo thought it was a ‘ghoul’, but Kirov probably manipulated it to misunderstand it.
Undead and Chimera are similar but different species.
And when she has the aptitude of [Life], an event begins in the academy’s graveyard in the distance.
Because that’s the best place to collect creature parts.
Sabaki glared ahead and said.
“I can feel the demonic energy.”
Before long, the guy threw off the raincoat he was wearing as if it was cumbersome.
“John. Thank you for one thing.”
“About what?”
“For creating a situation where I can freely vent my anger.”
It was as the guy said. After we crossed a hill, a panoramic view of the Academy Cemetery was revealed.
If you think about it, it is a place that has been steadily expanding since the beginning of the academy. In front of my eyes, there was an endless row of nests densely located on a large site.
Graveyards dug up and washed away here and there.
Originally, it was a place where soldiers who died at the academy would be buried under a well-groomed burial mound.
However, there is no such thing as a neatly lying corpse here. Adrine said in a trembling voice.
“This… It looks like the monster I saw in the canal.”
“this… this… ”
Evangeles seemed to want to say something, but he seemed to be speechless. The scene in front of my eyes can only be explained as the work of a wizard.
A man with a severed head is holding another person’s head on his shoulder. The one whose stomach is pierced eats the limbs of others, but what he ate flows down the pierced stomach.
This is their own qualifier. To be reborn as the strongest Chimera.
Guys with multiple arms tucked all over the body.
Those who have already grown to nearly 3 meters in size.
Like hedgehogs, those who have buried weapons with soldiers stuck in their backs.
They stab and eat each other, becoming stronger beings.
“Adrine. I said I would be your sword.”
“… It was.”
“Now, you should be able to check the performance of that sword.”
Madness flashed from Sabaki’s expression for a moment. He ran down the hill first. However, Adrine still had the determination she had shown in [Secret of the Clock Tower].
“I do not hide behind a sword.”
If left alone, they will surely cause a big accident in the academy.
It makes no sense to leave such beings unattended.
There must have been some awkward corners for her, but she must think that I was right when I said that she had to come here. And she moved as she thought.
Following the single Sabaki, Adrinne ran out. As expected, I threw away the raincoat I had been wearing. She fluttered her wet blonde hair.
And I looked at Evangeles and said.
“Don’t be afraid. I will be with you.”
“okay… .”
When I took out the [Arms of Justice], he also took out his sword. It is the Hermes family’s treasured sword, the [Elfin Sword].
And I brought him in not just to secure power.
I will cut off the trauma that Evangeles has right here. In this way, he will make the secret that comes down from his family blossom on his own.
“let’s go.”
As I ran down the hill, Evangeles started running alongside.
