By Fongrind Territory (2)
‘But what’s going on?’
It was good that his feet got out of hell, but when he reached the front of the dean’s office, a feeling of insecurity that had not been seen until recently blocked his way.
Even though I thought it would be no big deal, the reluctant feeling of seeing a crow or a black cat did not fall from my heart.
He told me to come to the dean’s office immediately.
If it was about the kidnapping incident the day before, I wouldn’t have told him to come immediately.
Something is strange.
With that thought, knocking on the door of the dean’s office kept getting hesitant, but nothing could be solved by just avoiding the problem and avoiding it.
As soon as I made up my mind and knocked lightly on the door twice, I opened the door vigorously as if I had been hesitating before and went inside.
“Jessica vongrind, a freshman in the Knights Department. I called and came to you.”
“… … … sit there Jessica student.”
In the dean’s office, instead of the mountain of documents he had seen before, there were two teacups filled with steaming tea that had just been brewed.
There were some unknown pills lying around the teacup on the dean’s side, but I guess I was about to take them.
‘You don’t have a good complexion, do you have some kind of disease?’
Considering that high-ranking wizards are not as susceptible to disease as well-trained knights, it was a bit strange to have medicines in this place.
Dean Marina took a pill to see if that thought had been passed on to the dean, and he smiled and said,
“This is a pain reliever. Even if you don’t get sick, you get headaches like other people… .”
“Ah, that’s right. Stop out of curiosity… By the way, did you have a headache because you took the medicine?”
“… … … Yes. First of all, let me have a cup of tea. It is a tea made with chamomile, but it is said to have a calming effect.”
Headaches, peace of mind, as I listened to those words, I began to feel more and more convinced that there was something there.
I just wanted to ask what happened right away, but the dean’s haggard expression did not let his mouth open.
How much time had passed as the steaming tea was carefully brought to my lips.
Whether it was thanks to this car or the passage of time, it was when my mind calmed down to some extent.
The dean put down the teacup so that it made a tak, and he opened his mouth slowly, taking a deep breath mixed with emotions.
“Student Jessica, don’t panic and listen. barriers… The news has come that the walls of House vongrind have been broken.”
“… … … yes?”
At first, I doubted my own ears. Or I thought Dean Marina’s information was wrong.
It was hard to believe that the barrier had not been broken at all, even after hundreds of years had passed.
“… What the hell happened?! who… No, some tribe broke that barrier… !! Could it be that the tribes were united like before?!”
“No, it’s hard to believe more than what I just said, but the barrier has been broken by just one person.”
“What joke… .”
I was about to say what kind of joke you are, but when I remembered that there was someone close to me who could do that, I shut my mouth.
If you think carefully about the incident where I was kidnapped the day before, isn’t it the same as breaking through the barrier of the academy for a small number of humans with great power?
“Well then, who… .”
“According to the report of a survivor, the name of the person who broke through the wall alone was Jeongnam Baek. I don’t know the details, but in the South it is known as Correa.”
“Corea… .”
As I pondered the name, I remembered the story of running around among the soldiers that a knight of the family once told me.
It is like a ghost story that 80 years ago alone broke through the wall and caused numerous casualties.
If he was still alive, why would a ghost who would have been well over 100 years old come and return?
“Reportedly, after breaking through the wall, he went on his way to the estate of the vongrind family.”
“Hey, Yeongjiro?! Then Dad… !! Mother and older brother… !!!”
“… … It is reported that Count Vongrind intercepted Baek Jeong-nam who attacked the territory, but was defeated and seriously wounded.”
“ha… !! ha… !!!”
When I heard words that were more shocking than saying that the wall had fallen, I felt like my heart was collapsing like a wall that had collapsed.
Thinking of my father, who said he was seriously injured, and of other family members who might have been injured, my breath became short as if I had sprinted.
Even if I drank the tea in front of me at once to calm myself down even a little, I didn’t feel the same effect as before.

My heart, which was beating like crazy, calmed down a bit when the dean, who I couldn’t see, cast some magic on me.
“The family… What happened to the other family?!”
“Fortunately, it is said that the other families were able to prevent damage in advance because they evacuated with the drivers who were nearby. Rest assured that the Earl is also injured, but his life is not in jeopardy. but… .”
“but?”
“The man named Butcher said that he was still looking for the wounded and fled Count to see if there was any resentment against the Fongrinds.”
Naturally, in the midst of doing so, he was inflicting extraordinary damage to private houses and estates.
Also, due to the collapse of the barrier, barbarians and beasts who had no choice but to suck their fingers in unexplored areas due to the barriers came over.
Due to the runaway of superhumans breaking through the wall alone and the attacks of barbarians and demons, the territory has already turned into a place that is not strange even if it is called hell.
“Well, then, it can’t be like this!!”
“… … What would you do if you couldn’t stay still?”
“I’m going to the estate right now!! Go to the estate and immediately… !!”
“What are you doing right now? You mean what Jessica can go there now and do?”
“That, that… !!”
Even if it was an old country, I could not return any words to those words, as I was well aware of my own strength through training with him.
… I am not Ian
Not only Correa, who said that he had seriously injured his father, but even the barbarians did not know if I could handle it if it was a tribal chief.
“It has already been decided that the Royal Knights will go out, and the Archmage has also been dispatched to subdue a man named Baek Jeong-nam. In addition, many influential families send reinforcements, so Jessica, please be safe and live as usual. That’s what Jessica’s student’s father wants——!”
The dean’s words were interrupted by the sudden sound of the door slamming open.
I turned my head to see something, and there was Ian, who had his head bowed and his face was not visible.
The scholar, who had a bewildered expression on his face for a while as he opened the tightly closed door, asked with a trembling voice.
“Hey, student Ian?! What are you doing now? Are you sure you were overheard now?”
“yes! I was secretly eavesdropping behind the door, wondering what they were called!”
When he said that he overheard me so proudly, he couldn’t think of anything to say to the dean, so he couldn’t say anything and his mouth twitched.
“Jessica!!”
As usual, when his gaze, with a sense of innocence, turned to me, I felt as if my atrophied heart was relieved a little.
“Do you want to go home? Then let me go and take you.”
“… … .”
Wouldn’t it be great if I could just nod my head at those words?
But it can’t be. Because I can’t put myself at risk, even someone who has nothing to do with it.
“As I said before, even if you don’t go, I will go south.”
“… Go, are you going?”
“Yeah, it’s small, but there’s also my estate there, and I can’t ignore it just because I have a new residence. So say it without any hesitation. I want to go? Don’t you want to go?”
With that said, he held out his hand, and when I woke up, I was holding that reliable hand.
“let’s go.”
*****
[According to the report of the survivor, the name of the person who broke through the barrier alone was Jeongnam Baek. I don’t know the details, but in the South, it is famous as Correa.]
Baek Jeong-nam. Correa.
When I heard those two names, I felt a shock as if I had been hit hard in the head.
It was because there was a possessor who could guess one of his names and nicknames.
Gintokan: That idiot said that Baldosul originated in Japan, but in fact, Baldosul originated in Goguryeo, not Japan. As proof of this, a mural painting of a Goguryeo tomb engraved in the middle of the 4th century shows a Goguryeo man using a baldo technique.
┗Baldojae: Crossing the line… .
As a person who protects the purity of baldosu, I have to deal with the crazy maniac that other possessors don’t know about.
By defeating him with the kicking technique that he insulted and devalued, this time it proves the superiority of the kicking technique.
“let’s go.”
I opened the door and went inside confidently, holding Jessica’s hand and running outside.
Did you say that the Royal Knights and the Archmage were preparing for a campaign?
If the Knights Templar or the Archmage ran into him more than I did, it shouldn’t have happened where he would injure himself or consume his stamina.
Even if I had to fight in a disadvantageous situation, I had to stop it no matter what.
“Jessica!! I’ll bring Hori first, so you… Jessica?”
While holding Jessica’s hand and heading out of the academy, I stopped for a moment because there was no answer no matter how many times I called, Jessica looked up at me with hazy eyes.
“Jessica?”
“… … uh? Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve been dazed for a while… .”
“I wish I had calmed down. Then I’ll get some Hori, so you’re ready to go to the mansion. got it?”
Leaving behind Jessica, who nodded silently, I hurriedly headed for the mansion.
