I Became a Darkened Extra chapter 3

Episode 3 – Entrance Ceremony Clown (1)

3. Entrance ceremony clown (1)

The day before the El Prime Academy entrance ceremony.

Main gate of Duke Crusiv Castle.

“······Are you really going to just do that?”

Leon’s father and the head of the Crusif family, Lok Crusif, had a very sour expression.

“What more do you need?”

“······.”

Leon tilted his head with a suspicious smile at his words.

Nobles who go on long journeys are usually accompanied by servants, a coachman, and a carriage to assist them.

Especially if you are a high-ranking noble who is a member of the duchy.

However, Leon was now standing on top of a horse.

It has been a long time since I sent away things like attendants, servants, and carriages because they were considered cumbersome.

“Flain seemed very upset.”

Plain is Leon’s personal servant and the first person he encounters when he wakes up in this world.

“That guy, he was really excited that I was going, right?”

“······.”

Leon planned to stay alone at the academy without any attendants.

Every time he walked around, he felt uncomfortable and felt like he was going to die.

There was a lot of work to do at the academy without anyone knowing.

Every time that happens, it’s cumbersome to make excuses, and there are more eyes and ears to pay attention to.

I also didn’t like the idea of a big middle-aged man sticking around all the way to my dorm.

The reasons were numerous.

I didn’t really have anything to carry.

All Leon has on his body is a sword strapped to his waist.

Even the clothes were not luxurious clothes worn by nobles, but ordinary clothes that emphasized mobility.

Locke, who began to worry about the prestige of the Cruciv family, let out words that were close to a sigh.

“You are a member of the Crusiv family. “If we continue like that, what will the world think of our family?”

“Hey, is there really anyone who recognizes me?”

“······.”

That’s right.

Locke quickly agreed and nodded his head.

It was probably from then on.

Six months ago, when Leon suffered a serious injury due to mana reflux during training.

Has the experience of coming back from death changed him?

His son Leon has changed beyond recognition.

To be honest, he doubts whether he is really his son.

The somewhat gloomy and gloomy appearance that had been shown before was completely thrown away.

Just by slicking back his hair, which always fell in front of his eyes, his impression completely changed.

I don’t usually go out of the house.

Even if I occasionally went to a banquet hall where nobles gathered, it seemed like no one would recognize me because I was just sipping drinks in the corner.

If you had seen Leon even once before, you would never have guessed that he was the same person as he is now.

Loke’s eyes turned to Leon’s waist this time.

Immediately his teeth ground together with a loud sound.

“Oh no, you ended up taking that sword too.”

At first glance, the sword in the simple black sheath may look like an ordinary iron sword.

However, the identity of the sword is the Cheonsaegeom (天碎劍), one of the three treasured swords of the Crusif family.

It is a famous sword that can buy several small manors if put up for auction.

Although Locke was strongly opposed to it for six months, saying it was too early for a prosecutor who was not even an adult.

No matter what we tried, Leon finally came out with it attached to his waist.

Locke gave up on his son’s obsession that bordered on madness.

However, it was an essential choice for Leon, who knew what dangerous things would happen at the academy.

We had to strengthen our military power even by borrowing the power of tools.

‘You should take care of all the good things first.’

It was Leon, who had thoroughly uncovered the family’s report.

If Locke knew what items were in his subspace pocket, he would definitely faint.

“Leon.”

Leon’s mother, the Duchess, Elliot Crusif spoke softly.

“Yes, mother.”

“······Don’t cause too big an accident.”

Elliot has already grown tired of all of Leon’s eccentricities and crazy behavior over the past six months.

She was someone who couldn’t tell someone not to cause an accident.

“hahahaha. “I will try.”

“······Aren’t you saying you will do that even if it’s just empty words?”

Leon pretended not to hear and grabbed the reins.

“I’ll just go. Mother, father. “Please take care!”

Dag-dak, dag-dak.

“······.”

The sound of the horses’ hooves became distant.

Looking at the smoke rising from the corner of Leon’s mouth as he left the gate, Locke and Elliot let out a long sigh.

“Honey. “Is that really the Leon I knew?”

“That’s right. “Should I call this good or bad?”

The Duke and Duchess were secretly worried about Leon, who had an unmanly personality.

I was distraught to see my son, who had changed so much even though he had now changed.

* · * *

As soon as Leon walked away from the Duke and Duchess, he immediately took out a candle and took a bite.

“Huuu······.”

Long smoke billowed out in the cool late winter air.

In his previous life, he quit smoking early because of his health.

I liked the fact that with this body, no matter how much you smoke, it will not harm your body.

Leon smoked his cigarette and headed to the nearby warp gate.

The warp gate, the only one in the duchy, took about 30 minutes by leisurely horseback riding.

Elprime Academy, located in the southeastern part of the Empire, has a rare warp gate installed.

“Where are you going?”

When we arrived at the warp gate, the wizard operating the gate asked Leon.

“El Prime Academy.”

The warp gate usage fee is quite expensive.

Leon answered briefly, took out a gold coin and flipped it at him.

Ting!

‘Aha!’

Dark black hair like the night before, and red eyes like burning flames, which are the characteristics of the Crusif lineage.

From Noble mtl dot com

And the wizard, who knew that the third Young master was old enough to go to the academy, immediately recognized Leon.

‘This is the third Young master who talks a lot these days!’

There were rare rumors within the duchy that the third prince had become strange.

There were many things that were said by the employees of the Duke’s Castle that were hard to believe.

“Prince Leon, I hope you enjoy your life at the academy.”

“Thank you.”

Wow!

The magic field on the surface of the gate rippled, and soon the color changed.

Leon stepped forward with a slightly excited heart.

Jiying!

There was no special feeling.

If you walk a few steps forward, the surroundings change.

He arrived in the city of Elaim in an instant.

Thanks to El Prime Academy, the number of people coming and going increased, making it a naturally formed metropolis.

There was a straight street leading from the gate to El Prime Academy.

“Oh…”

Thanks to this, the long El Prime Academy was visible at the end of Leon’s field of vision.

Leon strengthened his vision with mana and looked inside like a telescope.

Golden buildings that sparkle in the sunlight and exquisite and beautiful sculptures.

Meanwhile, there were students walking around carrying swords or holding thick books at their sides.

It’s wider than you think?

Leon tilted his head and rode towards the main gate of his academy.

Dag-dak, dag-dak.

The two guards guarding the academy’s main gate stopped chatting when they heard the sound of horses’ hooves approaching.

A simple outfit without a backpack, a piece of tobacco hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes rolling brightly.

‘What is that hillbilly?’

The student burned the tobacco.

When the guards saw him, they immediately thought he was a commoner who came from the countryside and didn’t know anything.

The biggest thing was that there was no carriage, or at least no servant.

They did not have the wit to immediately think of the Crusif family upon seeing the black hair and red eyes.

“Stop. Are you a new student?”

“I’m a new student.”

The security guard snorted at his absent-minded attitude.

“Oh my, what about the admission certificate?”

Leon took out the admission card from his chest and handed it to him without saying anything.

“Student, you seem excited about being newly admitted to El Prime Academy…?”

The guards were speechless when they saw the name Leon ‘Crusiv’.

The astonishment was clearly visible in the wide-open mouth and eyes.

“Sin, sin, sorry! Young master!”

Both heads were lowered deeply, almost as if they were touching the ground.

“Be careful next time.”

The academy pursues equality excluding status, but that only applies to cadets and teachers.

For a single security guard, the power of the Duke family is something to be feared.

Leon smiled and passed them by.

The guards were grateful to Leon for being generous and let out a sigh of relief.

Where is the dormitory?

Leon decided to move after entering the dormitory first.

Of course, he could have arrived on time for the entrance ceremony, but there was a reason why he arrived a day early.

Because there is an exciting event taking place starting tomorrow, the day of the admissions office.

‘Jake. Real name: Creek. ‘We have to find him.’

There was a high probability that he had come to the dormitory in advance to prepare.

Dag-dak, dag-dak.

The more you look at the academy, the wider it becomes.

Korea’s university campuses look ridiculous.

Leon arrived at the dormitory with difficulty, asking directions from the cadets who would now be his seniors and looking at the signs.

Leon got off his horse and entered the front door of a dormitory whose size was reminiscent of a museum.

In the lobby, cadets and the house superintendent who managed the dormitory were seen sparsely.

Leon turned to the housemaster who looked like a nice person.

He was a middle-aged man with gentle eyes and a warm expression.

“Hmm? “Are you a new student?”

“Yes, yes. “I came a little early because my house is far away.”

Leon handed over his admission certificate along with his answer.

“Really? Let’s see… Ah! “Are you the prince of the Cruciv family who said he was coming this time?”

Unlike the guards, the instructors at the academy treat the princess the same way, even if she comes.

Of course, the attitude towards it is bound to be a little different.

“You don’t have to go to this building, you just have to go to Building 1 on the other side.”

Children of noble families use crown 1, and commoners use crown 2.

Of course, the rooms in Building 1 are much larger and nicer.

No one considers this level of discriminatory treatment.

It was even more strange that the prince and the commoner shared the same 10-pyeong room.

Even though Leon knew this, he deliberately headed to the second building first.

“Oh, I see. Thank you however······.”

Leon scratched his head and smiled slyly.

“I don’t know the route very well, so could you at least draw me a map?”

“Hmm, I understand. “If it’s your first time here, you can do that.”

The housemaster nodded her head willingly and headed to the desk to find her pen and paper.

Leon naturally followed behind him and began quickly flipping through the list of residents on the desk.

‘······Here it is. Jake, room 306.’

There were not many cadets enrolled yet, so it was easy to find one.

Creek.

A spy from the Gamelon Republic and the culprit of the suicide bombing that took place on the day of the entrance ceremony.

And he was destined to act like a clown in front of hundreds of cadets tomorrow.
