How to Survive at the Academy chapter 155

Crepin Subjugation (6)

The former head of the family, Brahms Rothtailer, was poisoned in the process of usurping the second-in-command of the imperial family.

Uncle Baine Rothtailer was slain by the Ain for being abandoned in a battle that was bound to be defeated, and his mistress, Marie Rothtailer, assassinated by a rival family.

In addition, many others died while playing under the control of power. The throne of Gaju, where Crepin was sitting, was stained with blood.

Nevertheless, he never resents anyone, gets angry, or goes crazy… He sat quietly on the throne and contemplated the world.

He certainly rose to the position of second-in-command in the imperial family, condemned rogues who tried to take advantage of the family, and destroyed rival families who were fighting against each other.

Gradually, he became less afraid of killing people, and taking advantage of someone was taken for granted. He hides his true self and walks around the estate as if he were a benevolent duke, but the path he walked was always reminiscent of the smell of fishy blood.

From the time he was born to the present, he became a villain in order to survive, and he did not try to justify that fact or be understood by anyone.

The words that his forefather Brahms Rothtailer whispered to him when he took over the state are still in his mind.

Only one of the two can survive for a long time in this world of scheming and dark battles.

either a hero or a villain.

If you can’t be a hero, be an outright villain.

Do not rationalize, do not feel remorse, and simply reign as a villain.

The roof of the annex of the Roth Taylor mansion.

Hundreds of heavy loads were placed on Crepin’s shoulders, who was sitting on the railing looking down at the estate.

nothing is light

If the law of sacrifice is completed, more than half of the gathered distinguished guests will die. In this way, Mebulor will feed on the souls of the noble and grant Crepin the power to wield that power for the rest of his life.

“… … .”

He had many excuses left.

There are many ways to justify yourself as a villain and give reasons for your twists and turns.

For example, expectations and trust for crepins.

The faith of Arwen and his vassals who trusted him until the end, who decided to roll through the mud. In the end, he sent me that crepins would be the right way… Infinite trust without any conditions.

It could be said that the weight made it difficult for him to step back any longer, pushing him further and further down the path of darkness.

――It was just like the situation of the first act boss Yenika, who is currently running towards Ed’s room.

Or, it could be remorse for what was lost.

His mentor, Brahms, who had to die in the process of usurping power, or his mistress, Marie, who had to die in a fight. If the characters he had to lose remain thick in his heart, whispering in his ear to not compromise and become a staunch villain… That’s pretty reasonable.

――It was like Glast, the boss of Act 2, who finally died due to remorse for his lost daughter.

If not, it may be vain.

At the end of his power, he climbed up by killing many, but in the end, all that was left was a large mansion and a large estate.

All of his family members died or were scattered, and Arwen, who followed him to the end, made a half-mamma with his own hands.

In the end, all that is left of his life is great power and power, so even if he borrows the power of an evil spirit, he has no choice but to run to the end of the road… Not too bad.

–that… It is the circumstances of Lucy, the boss of Act 3, who has lived as a strong man all his life, and has lost his reason for living after losing Gloct.

Whichever direction you take, it won’t be too bad.

Crepin thinks so, but does not compromise in any way.

The half-broken railing is like a king’s throne.

Sitting firmly on it, he bows his head and waits for his time.

Born as a wicked man, and dies as a wicked man until the moment of his death.

He discusses the world as a pure evil that is not defiled until the end.

That was the attitude he took throughout his life to survive.

As long as his purity is fully established, no wind can shake him.

＜Failed Swordsman of Sylvania> Act 4 final boss.

California Crepin Rothtailer was contemplating the world.

* * *

The dagger split the tentacles.

A spirit expression appeared, and the flames rose, and the tentacles were completely cut in two. The moment Ed grabs the sword and leaps back again, the flame of the mug burns the entire hallway.

I wondered if the controlled users had been swept away and the road was cleared, but soon the Gremlin broke the window and broke in.

-Kyaah!

Demons making a vicious sound ran towards Ed’s body with their knives, but the wind picked up and hung all the gremlins against the wall.

The white-haired girl who appeared as if swishing and rising behind his back waved her hand once more. The gremlins are crushed by the pressure of the wind as they are, and they are all burned by the flame of the mug that follows.

So Ed ran across the hallway on the first floor.

Running down the hallway was the same for Jenica and Clarisse. The two of them crossed the hallway of the central mansion and arrived at Ed’s room, just smashed the locked door and went inside.

I was thinking of quickly grabbing Ed’s wand and leaving, but the room was bigger than I thought, so I was confused about where to start.

Ed’s wand is quite bulky. After searching under the bed or behind the closet, I found Ed’s wand under the large work desk.

As it was, Yenica grabbed her wand and handed it to Clarisse.

Yenika was forced to remain in the central mansion and escort the distinguished guests. It takes too long to go directly to Ed after all the distinguished guests are gone.

Saint Clarisse has the protection of the Holy Law that can protect her body from almost any kind of attack. It’s pretty safe, so it was perfect for someone who could deliver a cane.

Clarisse nodded and quickly turned around, holding her wand tightly. At that moment, Jenica called Clarisse to her feet.

Clarisse turned her head puzzledly to see Yenika, who looked at the letters spread out on Ed’s personal desk.

Due to the huge volume, I couldn’t read all the contents. However, a feather that had fallen between the letters was trampled on by Yenika.

I picked up the feather, grabbed the tip, and flipped it around… Soon after, he handed the feather to Clarisse.

When Clarisse was puzzled, Yenika added that they would share it with them.

On the first floor of the central corridor, Selaha was leaving the central mansion with Dest.

The garden in front of the central mansion had already been slaughtered with all kinds of monsters. It was a trail that Ed ran wildly as he headed to the annex.

Princess Sellaha narrowed her brow and looked around. The ruins of the Roth Taylor mansion are still teeming with monsters.

Dest dissuaded Princess Selaha that it could be dangerous to go out any further. Selaha pondered for a moment, then shook her head and walked out through the garden.

Meanwhile, Sinir Bloomriver, who was leading a group of distinguished guests, sighed in relief.

Thanks to the hordes of spirits that Yenica dragged along with, he was able to protect the lives of the remaining nobles. In addition, thanks to Yenica drilling through the corridor in the central mansion, a route was secured to get out of the mansion.

Sinir hurried out into the hallway, leading a group of distinguished guests. Carefully and calmly, holding my breath, I made my way across the hallway towards the exit.

Still outside the window, the air was full of spirits fighting with the gremlins. The VIPs swallowed dry saliva and held back the urge to run away.

Everyone is heading towards their own destination. Even as they ran with their own goals, time was passing steadily.

Perhaps the most cornered among them… It was Tanya Rothtailer.

-bang! bang!

“… … .”

The workers were kicking the door of the food pantry. Tanya hugged her shoulders and trembled.

A spire that rises in the center of the mansion site.

In the storage room in the middle of the spire, Tanya was holding the door closed with furniture.

―Paah!

―Papaduk!

A wooden door pierced through the gremlin’s dagger, and a creepy eyeball appeared through the hole.

“Uh, uh… .”

Tanya quickly reinforced the door and ran into the storage room.

* * *

– Kwagwang! bang!

Breaking the road was a breeze.

Utilizing the power of Mug and Raysia, she saved most of her consumables, magic equipment.

It was also necessary to save some magical power, so Merylda’s power was only partially manifested and used.

Just by adding basic elemental magic on top of that, the road was straight and I was running up to the second floor of the annex of the mansion.

The second floor of the annex was full of more ghastly monsters. Even the smooth tentacles had all kinds of bizarre flesh attached to them and pressed them with greater force, and the red-skinned gremlins threw their knives with the berserk magic applied to them.

―aah Kyaah!

The appearance of the users making bizarre sounds almost no longer remains in human form. It feels like limbs are attached to a lump of flesh.

It was a sight that made my stomach nauseous just by looking at it, but I clenched my teeth and used magic to subdue them all.

[ Master Ed! Now that we have secured space on the stairs, let’s go straight up! This candle mug will check the rear! ]

“If you don’t clean up the hallway, you could get hit in the back of the head!”

[Then I’d rather… Wouldn’t it be better to break down the roof entrance once you get to the roof? ]

“… Yes, that makes sense!”

Receiving Mug’s words, I quickly ran up the stairs.

[ Ooh! My words worked! He even became such a dignified lieutenant spirit, yet he could even play the role of a bookmaster… I’m proud of myself… ! ]

In fact, if you think about it a little calmly, you can come up with a plan that is not too difficult, but I didn’t bother to point it out and go in and kill the excited Mug.

[Master Ed. A horde of gremlins will appear at the top. ]

Calm Laysia has been reporting the situation above. I gathered more mana and blew a wind blade.

– Crisp! Casa Sasak!

As I watched the group of gremlins being swept away, I realized that the firepower of my basic magic had risen quite a bit.

It is not easy for a gremlin to produce enough firepower to wipe out a group in one hit, no matter how many gremlins they fight.

Stepping on the falling gremlin’s corpse, he climbed the stairs and climbed again and again. His body was already covered with the blood of his enemies.

As I walked up the stairs of the mansion, avoiding the bizarrely swollen flesh here and there, I finally came to an open hall.

The stairs end here once. This is because the third floor of the annex of the mansion consists of one large hall.

To get to the roof, you have to run across the hall and run up the last stairway.

This hall boasts the largest scale in the annex. The space was named ‘Rostailer Hall’ after the family name… Almost all of the outer walls had already been blown away.

Cool and well ventilated. The starry sky is also clearly visible.

In the distance, you can see Lucy, who is hitting and pounding with a whistle with the Mevula, and the sight of the spirit corps facing the gremlins embroidering the night sky is also impressive.

It was the moment as it was about to cross Roth Taylor Hall.

―Kukgeuk, Kguggeuk.

In the center of the hall, a figure standing up with a strange twist was seen. More than half of his body had already been covered in bizarre flesh, and it seemed that he had no reason left.

I checked the face and frowned. It wasn’t a very good relationship, but it was spherical anyway.

One of the two knights who came to Arken Island to kill me on the orders of Crepin Roth Taylor.

The eagle knight Kadek glared at me with only white eyes.

At that moment, huge tentacles burst from all sides of the hall, breaking the floor.

* * *

― ‘You look good, Tanya.’

― ‘What is this feather, Arwen sister?’

― ‘The feathers of wild birds of the Pelvelo region.’

It is now a faded memory.

Tanya, who was sitting on the terrace and held in Arwen’s arms at a warm moment… She smiled mischievously as she touched the feather ornaments she had put on her hair beautifully.

― ‘It’s really pretty… .’

― ‘Sometimes I decorate my hair like that, or I hang it on my collar. Men even put it in the front pocket of a tuxedo.’

― ‘By the way, my sister also decorated her blouse dance. They fit so well.’

– ‘yes.’

Arwen gently wiped Tanya’s face, and suddenly had a sad expression on her face.

― ‘The wild birds of the Pelvelo region are so colorful. When a feather is picked from one bird, it rarely overlaps with the color of another bird’s feathers. That’s why it is said that there is a custom of sharing feathers of the same color among the family members and decorating them.’

– ‘Wow… okay… ?’

― ‘I sent one to Ed and my father… Will you decorate your body? I don’t know.’

When Ed’s name appeared, Tanya’s expression darkened even more.

It’s been a week since Ed and Arwen parted on the terrace.

After that, Ed seemed to be in deep trouble as he was locked up in his room alone, without talking to anyone.

Tanya, who was young and ignorant, was so afraid of Ed that she was attached to Arwen.

― ‘I wish my sister and brother would reconcile quickly… .’

– ‘Tanya. Maybe me and Ed will never be able to reconcile again for the rest of our lives.’

When Tanya heard that, she was in tears.

Arwen was feeling it. At the time of affirming Crepin, Edwa had already crossed a river of no return.

Having lived his whole life as Crepin’s successor, Arwen had a deeper understanding of the Crepin Rothtailer than anyone else. Arwen sympathized with the creffin to the bone.

Perhaps the crepin roaster will eat even Arwen himself to the limit. Any means that can be mobilized are men who mobilize them.

Even if Crepin considered Arwen to be nothing more than abandonment, Arwen was ready to affirm him as his daughter and family. Arwen is such a person.

Crepin’s life is full of blood.

It is a life in which he has built himself up as a villain in order to stand on the throne by himself.

Without a single understanding, he will live alone as a wicked person until the day he dies.

The only people who can affirm such an obnoxious man are his family.

If you’re the only one who can understand his bloody path, he’s willing to go to the dark side for him.

However, Arwen couldn’t force his decision even on his younger brothers.

Ed, who separates and advances, is also Arwen’s beloved younger brother. You can’t force him to make sacrifices.

Crepin is one of the poisonous species.

If Arwen dies or is no longer worth using… The beast will reach out to Ed and Tanya.

So, no matter what happens, clench your teeth and persevere.

In order to protect the younger siblings who follow their own choices while walking in a different path, Arwen himself must never die first.

– ‘Tanya… Listen to me.’

Arwen hugged Tanya tightly and spoke.

― ‘Your father always seems so lonely, but on the contrary, he is a lonely and pitiful person. Probably no one in the world will understand.’

– ‘sister… .’

― ‘And, Ed and Tanya… You are my younger brothers who I really love you too. Because I’m greedy… I want to hug everyone… .’

Tanya could clearly feel the strength coming into the arms that were holding her tightly.

– Wrath!

Suddenly, Tanya came to her senses and raised her head.

I was so distracted that I was resting, leaning against the shelf of the storage room.

– Bang, bang!

The gremlin was still knocking on the cellar door. Tanya went deep into the cellar and opened the window.

It was quite high as it was on the central level of the spire. There is no guarantee of safety if you jump, and there is no guarantee that you will be safe from monsters if you land on the garden side using wind magic.

Tanya, who was looking out the window with the wind blowing in the sky, swallowed dry saliva. Then, suddenly, he turned his gaze towards the annex.

Roth Taylor Hall, whose exterior walls have collapsed, revealing its interior.

The man standing there looked familiar. Tanya swallowed dry saliva and climbed onto the window sill, gathering magic power.

My legs started to tremble.

* * *

―Aww, Kaak! Kaah!

―Kwaang, shhh!

A human form was revealed from the cracks in the raised tentacles. The girl, protected by the tentacles from the underground, came up… familiar with

One arm that shouldn’t have been sprouting up. The same goes for one leg.

However, compared to the slender opposite limbs, it is quite bizarre. Rather than flesh, it was closer to the shape of the patched flesh. This was also Mevular’s power.

The fluttering blonde hair is similar to Tanya and Ed’s hair color. I’ve already seen it once in the basement.

The girl, who bloomed like a flower among the tentacles, was holding a sword in one hand. It was the great sword ‘Day of Dawn’ that had penetrated the girl’s body until recently.

And behind the waist, he was wearing a sword about half the size of that. It is one of the swords used by the first sword lord Luden, ‘Crime’.

The girl jumped straight out of the tentacle and landed in the center of Roth Taylor Hall. and… The head of the Eagle Knight Kadek was cut horizontally.

– Crisp!

Cardek’s neck rolled on the floor a few times, and then disappeared as ashes. So was the body.

It happened in an instant.

“The power of Mevular comes at the cost of mental suffering. I’d rather die sooner rather than later.”

In the center of Roth Taylor Hall, a slender girl standing in the moonlight put her sword on the floor.

Then, he got down on his knees towards Kadek, who was disappearing into ashes, and quietly put his hands together in the moonlight and prayed.

“Kadek, he has dedicated himself as a vassal of the Roth Taylors for a long time. This is the only thing I can do for you, so maybe I will be punished severely in the afterlife.”

“Sister Arwen.”

“I’ve already put it all down, Ed. I went the opposite way with you. Even if he embraced all the sins of the world, he decided to affirm his lonely father until the end. Even if the road ends in darkness.”

The girl kneeling next to the sword and praying is strangely sacred, even though one of her limbs has a terrible appearance.

“That’s the conclusion I came to while living as Roth Taylor’s successor, watching my father, and being with you. Maybe your dad doesn’t even care. I’ll just be an abandoned horse, a good scapegoat to use.”

“… … .”

“Nevertheless, I decided to affirm my father until the end. Otherwise… Father will die in loneliness until the end.”

Arwen got up again.

“So, I can’t get past this. For you and for you.”

From noblemtl.com

Magic energy wrapped around her body, and power entered her body. With all sorts of auxiliary magic draped around… Slowly raise your upper body.

In one hand, he picks up the huge sword, ‘Day of Dawn’, and in the other hand he pulls out Luden’s holy sword, ‘Dawn’.

These are the two swords that symbolized the time when he lived as the heir of the glorious Roth Taylor.

“Go back.”

“… … .”

“The Roth Taylor family is over. Now live your life. I will end it here with you.”

In ＜Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman>, he was a person who was not even known about his existence.

Neither the boss nor the hidden boss can be seen anywhere.

Finally, as Ed Roth-Taylor, as a member of this damned world, I feel like I am facing my destiny.

A girl standing in the way.

The forgotten heir, Arwen Rothtailer.

In the center of the hall, she was receiving the moonlight with her bright eyes open.
