Intruder (1)
An empty lot with a haunted house.
Narsha, who was sitting on a nearby bench, took a deep breath. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
“Ha ha… ha…”
A haunted house.
Contrary to what I expected, it was insanely scary. All of the ghosts’ faces were hideous, and their distinctive facial expressions and restrained body movements were vivid enough to be believed to be real.
It was terrifying enough to leave a trauma.
In particular, the quadrupedal walking ghost chased from the underground warehouse…
“eww······”
Narsha wrapped her arms around her and trembled. It was creepy even thinking about it again. That time when I looked around because I felt uncomfortable behind me.
jerk- jerk-
Something walked out of the haunted house exit. Fortunately, it was not a quadrupedal ghost. No, it might have been better to be a quadrupedal ghost. Now I felt as much shame as fear.
“·······”
Five minutes after Narsha escaped from the haunted house.
Leonard came out calmly. There wasn’t even a hint of fear on his intelligent face. After looking around for a while, Leonard moved towards the bench where Narsha was.
Narsha hurriedly lowered her head. He looked at the ground and murmured softly.
“Please don’t come… just go, please…”
Contrary to the earnest wishes, the signs are getting closer and closer.
Narsha glanced straight ahead. Leonard cut the distance in half. He lowered his gaze again and chanted as if in prayer.
“I’ll live a really nice life from now on… someone please take him with me…”
Otherwise, you may be ashamed and commit suicide.
Our ancestors who didn’t do anything for you, you can help us this time. Yeah?
Narsha raised her head once more. This time I didn’t fall right down. It was because Leonard and I met eyes.
“ah······”
Leonard standing right in front of you.
he said with a light smile.
“It ran well. For someone who isn’t afraid.”
It kind of looks like a laugh.
I was pretty proud of myself. Narsha snorted as if it were absurd.
“what? I wasn’t really scared at all. My legs hurt, so I came out in a hurry because I wanted to sit on the bench.”
I naturally massaged my calves. Then, pretending to be as relaxed as possible, I leaned back on the bench.
“It’s nothing, but what? They were just like kids.”
“okay. He did.”
Saying so, Leonard sat down next to him. Narsha shook her shoulders. He slowly turned his head and looked at Leonard.
why is he sitting here There are many benches around.
······Are you openly showing off now?
Narsha was subtly wary of Leonard. I slightly lifted my pelvis and moved away about 5cm. Either that or not, Leonard stared at the night sky in silence. Stars that seemed to pour down were contained in his eyes.
The feeling of fear disappeared.
Heart rate subdued calmly.
Leonard’s fragrant body odor flowed into the gentle breeze. I felt comfortable for some reason. This kind of thing is so annoying.
“Write!”
Narsha took a deep breath in through her nose. Her little nostrils closed tightly, blocking out his scent. I tried to deny it anyway.
By the time he was breathing more and more, a group of wizards appeared from afar.
“Where are you?”
“I heard you were headed this way.”
“Uh, he’s sitting on the bench over there.”
One of the buzzing crowd pointed towards the bench. Before long, they came in droves.
“Hello professor.”
They were members of the student council.
Leonard then shifted his gaze. As I looked at the members in silence, Selina, the student council president, took a step forward and said,
“I came to report the incident and thank you.”
“…?”
Narsha tilted her head.
Aside from reporting the current status of the incident, why do I say thanks to him? As if answering that question, Selina reported succinctly.
“The roller coaster has been decided to be suspended, and the festival will be resumed after rechecking the rest of the booths. It will probably take about 30 minutes. And thanks to your help, there were no minor injuries among the roller coaster riders.”
Selina looked around at the members around her. Soon, as if they had reached a consensus, they lowered their heads and sang in chorus.
“””thank you.”””
A student council that delivers thanks and thanks for accidents that occurred during the festival.
And the best defense wizard in the empire sitting right next to him.
Only then did the puzzle fit in my head. Leonard had prevented the accident. Well, it didn’t make sense that the roller coaster that was in operation had derailed, and no one was hurt. Aside from the fact that there were no fatalities, it was a bit strange that there were no bruises. It was also.
Well… I hate to admit it, but it was a little cool.
really very little.
“·······”
Narsha subtly lifted her pelvis. He walked over to Leonard again. Would you like to brag about sitting next to such a great person?
“No thanks. no need to be sorry It’s not your responsibility in the first place.”
Leonard responded warmly. It was a scene that made everyone happy.
Selina shook her head with a grim face.
“no. We are the organizers, and if an accident happens, it’s all our fault. I’m sorry for always taking care of you…”
“I will do better in the future.”
“Yes… I will definitely try to do that.”
It was a time when a heartwarming conversation ensued.
Another group of wizards appeared. This time, they were the first faces Narsha saw. Does Leonardo not know them? Or did he react that way without knowing it?
In an instant, his eyes went cold.
He looked around at the men who were lined up solemnly and said.
“Architecture Club, all responsibility for this incident lies with you.”
The tone is quite different from when dealing with the student council.
As Leonard’s frosty voice spread, the atmosphere around the area became chilly. The cool wind stopped as if frozen, and the members of the architecture club were terrified at once. Some even swallowed dry saliva.
“Regardless of the outcome of the accident, the punishment will have to be met.”
“Yes… I’m prepared.”
A male magician spoke on behalf of the other members. At first glance, he looked like a club president. Leonard asked.
“Are you the president of the architecture club? You said you won a gold prize in the Empire Architecture Contest?”
“Yes, it is. This is Pario, a 3rd year attacker.”
An offensive pario.
It was a name that even Narnya had heard before. He is a promising architectural prospect in the empire.
It is a blue chip in the architecture world that wins awards in every competition.
How could such a student have such a big accident?
I couldn’t figure it out even if I tried to guess, but it was certain that a red flag had fallen on his path ahead.
It’s not that it’s not, it’s because Leonard looked very angry.
The deputy professor at the Imperial Academy, and the most promising archmage candidate. His influence in the Empire, especially in the Academy, is beyond imagination. A word from him, a line of evaluation he left, could determine the lives of students.
To such Leonard, it was safe to say that his academy career was over because he was quickly filmed.
As if he was aware of this fact, Pario’s pupils trembled nervously. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his complexion turned pale.
Leonard said.
“It is not right to leave the responsibility for an accident to an individual, but it is a different story when it comes to the leader of the group. That is the weight of the seat.”
He lost his father at a young age and inherited the family home.
The weight of the crown that Leonard, who will lead the Imperial Guard, will feel every moment.
Even if it looks good on the outside, there is a lot of pain inside. There is an invisible pressure.
Leonard, who overcame all of that and grew up.
Achievements achieved by enduring harsh winds.
Now, Leonard wasn’t simply reprimanding.
It was suggesting the path that Pario should walk in the future and the way to grow further.
The aspect of a true teacher that warms the heart.
“You decide. Whether to disband the architecture club and record this incident in the general comments of the other members. Or will you bear all of it?”
Realizing the deep meaning, Pario shed a single tear. I fell to my knees in shock.
“I will… I will bear it. I will take everything.”
Did the foolish disciple think he finally realized it?
A small smile crept across Leonard’s lips.
“good night. Come to the Adonis coffin by noon tomorrow. Let’s give him the punishment he deserves.”
＊＊＊
That night.
Yerina leaned on the balcony of the mansion and looked at the distant sky. It was a night full of stars.
The sky trying to keep it dark and the stars shining in between.
It was as if I was painting it in my head right now. Even if I tried to forget, to erase somehow, one person kept coming to my mind.
“・・・・・Today was an opportunity.”
Yerina muttered as if sighing.
The moment came when we were alone, without even the Ministry of Magic agents, but in the end we couldn’t say it. I lacked courage. To be precise, I couldn’t overcome my fear.
I was more indecisive than I thought.
No, he was a coward.
Words I couldn’t quite say.
However, I got an unexpected answer.
– You don’t have to tell me if it’s difficult.
As if I saw through the pain in my heart
– No matter what kind of person Yerina-nim is, no matter what the reality is. I will always treat Yerina.
As if to comfort the heartache of the past
─So you can stay as it is.
The words were delivered in a warm tone, as if confronting the world that denied Yerina’s identity. It was the advice that Yerina needed to live a special life.
At the same time, it was also a pleasant answer to cover up the confused emotions.
“·······”
Yerina recalled her conversation with Leonard. The more I thought about that moment, the more I became greedy.
80 years of life left.
If I had to live somehow in this world.
If you have to have children like everyone else and grow old dreaming of a future together.
The desire to be with Leonard.
Yerina stared blankly at the stars. A few meteor showers fell over the gloomy sky.
──────!
A landscape that makes a wish come true.
There was no evidence, but Yerina felt a certainty blooming in a corner of her heart.
As if it was meant to be with him from the beginning.
As if the estranged ties will be reunited.
＊＊＊
next day.
I waited for Pario at the Adonis Hall. I sat down on the podium and looked around the inside.
“·······”
It was a narrow space to manifest the wide-range attack magic [Ultimate Flame]. However, the risk was too great to practice fire art outside. Due to the nature of conversationalism, it could spread into a big fire, and above all, the fact that I had mastered attack magic was likely to be exposed to the outside world.
It was the fate of ‘Himsunjjin’ that couldn’t be helped.
If there is one trick, it is to set up a special space in the basement of the Adonis Hall. In a word, it was a way to make a tunnel.
There was no need to worry about fire because there were only rocks in the basement, and there was nothing to be exposed to the outside because it was a strictly indoor space.
The problem is how to make it secretly…
Fortunately, we rescued a worker yesterday.
He succeeded in attracting talent who would later become the best architect in the empire. Since I was in the position of the top, I was sure about joining.
“It’s almost time.”
I watched the wall clock.
As soon as the clock pointed to noon, the door to the Adonis Hall opened. Pario, who was looking around hesitantly, found me and approached me right away.
jerk- jerk-
determined step.
Eyes with a strong will.
I just liked the attitude.
“Hello, Professor. I have come to fulfill the responsibility you spoke of yesterday.”
Pario bowed his head politely.
I handed him a piece of paper.
Last night, it was a blueprint for the underground training center I made using my “aesthetic sense.” Pario, who confirmed the contents, came out with bewildered eyes and looked at the blueprints in turn.
“What is this?”
“The price you are responsible for.”
At the same time, it is a cornerstone to prevent “Second Attack by Luca Delos”.
It’s for the people, so it won’t be too unfair. It will also help Pario’s proficiency.
“How long do you think it will take?”
“That’s going to take a week, assuming you’re doing it alone.”
it’s a week
It wasn’t too bad. It took longer than expected, but I’m the only one who uses the Adonis tube anyway.
I said with as much weight as I could.
“As a result of thinking about it all night, I decided to replace the four suits with labor. A week is enough to pay for your sins.”
“yes? ah······”
Pario, who was dumbfounded for a moment, soon came to his senses. He looked at me with his twinkling eyes.
“You are saying that the sins committed through architecture should be repaid through architecture.”
Is that how it works?
It was only from my point of view that I was grateful for giving meaning to it. I nodded.
“Go if you know.”
“yes. I will do my best.”
Pario bravely headed for the shower. It does not mean that you will take a shower, but it is because the entrance to the underground training center is designed as a shower room.
He closed the shower door. There was no noise from the construction, probably because a separate magic field was installed.
“·······”
Adonis Hall, where the languid silence lingers.
Unavailable for the next week. In other words, I couldn’t do ‘Attack Magic Polishing’, which took up most of my daily routine.
The time that suddenly exploded.
It was at that time that I was thinking about how to use it as efficiently as possible.
Ki-Ik-
The door to the Adonis Hall opened. Soon, the sound of shoes echoed inside.
Again – Again – Again –
Silhouettes getting closer and closer.
Fantastic body that exudes sensuality and admiration.
The one who suddenly appeared in the Adonis House was Reina, a mind-reader and defensive magic professor.
Reina covered her mouth with one hand.
“uh? Professor Leonard?”
His eyes widened as if he was quite surprised.
It was embarrassing to me as well. I asked without hesitation.
“What are you doing here?”
“I stopped by the field inspection car before the practice lecture.”
“You mean the practice lecture?”
“yes. This time, I was in charge of the intermediate defense magic class. Originally, I went outside the academy to practice, but this time, a defense magic training center was opened, right? So it was decided to proceed here.”
I donated, but strictly speaking, the Adonis Hall is owned by the academy.
Regardless of my doctor, I could decide whether or not to use the Adonis tube. That’s why it was decided to use it for practice purposes without notifying me.
It was like thunderbolt news to me.
There is no place to practice fire art any more, and now the underground training center is under construction.
Reina smiled lightly, whether or not she knew my feelings.
“Anyway, it’s been a while.”
It’s been a while.
It’s the first time we’ve met since Professor Z401 Sentry. It was around that time that I almost lost my first virginity to Reina.
Now that I think about it, my father’s words to be careful of older people were absolutely right.
It was then.
“And talking to Professor Leonard.”
Reina brushed her long straight hair. The sensual neckline was revealed, and the eyes became even more nightly.
It was somehow ominous.
“That’s why there are only two of us left.”
“·······”
I stared at the shower without a word.
It’s not.
There’s a guy digging a hole down below .
