Protect Professor Ryan (5)
A dismal dawn when clouds obscured the moon.
The sound of rough breathing flows leisurely in the silence.
“Ha ha… ha…”
It was warm. It was a new sensation that I had never felt before.
soft. At the same time, it is insanely stimulating. The lips are so intense that they blush. The more he moved his tongue, the more thrilling it became, and the wetness in his mouth made his mind wander.
Even so… I can’t stop. It was already addicted.
Amidst the ecstasy, the woman spat out a shrill moan.
“Haaang… uhh…”
“What do you think? great?”
“Yes, I like it.”
The half-eyed woman opened her mouth. A white liquid poured out of his burning mouth.
gulp- gulp-
she drank it all Not even a single drop that drips down your lips.
“Write it… Ha… I think I’m going to live for a while now.”
······A 24-hour hole-in-the-wall shop near the Zenith building.
Elia put the pack milk on the table. I calmed my mouth with cool milk, but soon the spiciness rose again.
“Ugh… is this really spicy?”
“Is not it? Spicy but addictive? That’s the charm of Maranoo. How do you feel when you try it for the first time?”
“I love it!”
Chloe handed over her own pack milk. Seeing Elia suffering, she smiled with satisfaction.
“If you drink too much, drink this too.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
“Do you really like eating new foods?
“yes!”
A restaurant tour club recommended by Chloe in an alley.
I wanted to sign up right away, but I ran out of time because of the next lecture, and I planned to seduce Elia with Mara Noodles later.
But what is this?
When I woke up to the sound of the door closing, Leonard and Professor Reina had disappeared.
Left alone, Professor Ryan dozed off.
This is definitely a heaven-sent opportunity.
Chloe woke Elia right away. Elia, who was starving after skipping lunch and having no late-night snacks for three consecutive days, followed the fish in her sleep, and as a result, she emptied all of the soup.
“Grow!”
Elia, whose lips were chapped, put on a satisfied expression. It seemed like it was almost over.
“Elia. Do you have any clubs in mind?”
“Um… I don’t know yet.”
“What?”
A vein formed in Chloe’s temple.
At dawn, he even bought me a late-night snack with my own money, but the only thing that came out was ‘I don’t know yet?’
“If you join our restaurant tour club, you can eat new food every week. Of course, the taste is guaranteed.”
“First of all, I’m thinking of a restaurant tour club as my number one priority, senior Chloe.”
“A senior? You can call me sister.”
“…your sister.”
A strange air current flowed over the table on the street.
A friendly but not friendly atmosphere that makes you feel more uncomfortable by telling you to be comfortable.
At such an awkward spot, Elia sipped only milk.
“Shall we have lunch together tomorrow?”
“·······”
“Why don’t you answer?”
“yes? Oh no. like. Let’s eat lunch together.”
“You promised?”
Elia nodded, and only then did she get up from her seat. In the first place, I had no intention of sending it until I received a definite answer.
“Let’s go in now.”
“Wouldn’t I… be scolded?”
“it’s okay. Just say you went to the bathroom. Get up quickly.”
After roughly cleaning up the trash, I entered the Zenith building. I used the stairs instead of the elevator to avoid being noticed that I had gone outside.
That time when I went up between the 3rd and 4th floors like that.
-Nok-eo-eok!·······
A groaning sound echoed through the dark hallway. Afterwards, the screams of the girls were heard.
-Kyaahhh!
“What, what?”
“Didn’t something happen?”
“I guess so…? Bounce!”
Chloe reflexively ran down the stairs. As if he had practiced parkour, he jumped three or four stairs in one step. It was very dynamic.
“Oh, sister! Where are you going?”
“Of course you have to run away. Don’t talk and follow me!”
“Yes······? Aren’t you helping me?”
“… crazy bitch.”
After saying that, Chloe disappeared from sight. Elia, who was left alone, stood still and pondered.
What should I do?
Is it right to run away like Chloe? So what are the motives?
What is certain is that it is an emergency situation.
Maybe it was the 3rd attack by the monsters. Considering the agony and the current state of affairs, it was a sufficiently probable hypothesis.
Therefore, Chloe’s judgment is 100% correct.
However······
Z401 has Professor Leonard.
Where the best defense wizard in the empire is.
If it’s Professor Leonard who saved everyone from MT and Gladania, he’ll definitely be safe.
Besides, Ryan is a “healing type”, Leonard and Raina are a “defense type”.
In other words, Z401 does not have frequent attack wizards.
So Nara also had to go and help.
Elia climbed the stairs.
My back felt chilly from the tension, but I didn’t stop walking. Before long, we arrived at Z401, where the door was half open.
Ki-Ik-
slowly opened the door The demonic beast was not seen in the artificial moonlit lecture hall.
It was just that Professor Ryan, who floated leisurely in the air, was blocking his view.
Tuk-tuk-
Something fell from his toe. Red liquid flowing drop by drop.
There was blood on the floor near the door.
“Uh, uh…?”
Elia sat down as it was.
Professor got hit Professor Ryan, famous for his healing skills, was helplessly beaten.
As I lowered my eyesight, I saw the situation in front of me.
The thing that threw Ryan into the air.
What caught the attention of the students?
It was not a witch beast, but a red-haired sorceress.
Standing next to Rayna, she had her palms open toward Ryan, with a sharp piece of metal piercing his stomach.
Tuk-tuk-
Ryan’s life is in danger due to non-stop bleeding.
But no one came forward easily. I just stared blankly as if I was chained in place.
“ah······”
It was the same with Elia.
It was frozen to the point that the resolution from a moment ago was colorless. My hair went white and I couldn’t move at all.
It was because he felt an unapproachable aura from the red-haired sorceress.
and······
Another wizard with an aura comparable to hers.
“…what are you doing right now?”
It was Professor Leonard.
Standing at the back of the classroom, Leonard watched her with cold eyes. Reina, on the other hand, hid herself behind the red-haired sorceress as if she knew something.
The reaction of the two professors is clearly opposite.
“I just killed the warlock.”
The red-haired sorceress replied resolutely.
“For the safety of the students.”
“Ki, the knights are right… Professor Leonard…”
Reina agreed in a trembling voice.
Unlike Elia, Leonard and Reina knew her identity.
A dark blue robe, shoulder straps, and a skull pattern on the chest.
It was Amilla, a member of the Immortal Knights.
Amilla pointed at the floating Ryan.
“Professor Leonard, you didn’t even know that this man was a warlock. The one who is a candidate for the archmage.”
Her eyes turned to Leonard.
“Or did you hide it even though you knew it?”
A very calm tone. However, there was a provocative nuance in it. It was a disrespectful speech.
Still, Leonard did not waver.
“Do you have any proof?”
I asked coolly about the nature of the incident.
“Proof that Ryan is a warlock.”
“Evidence…”
Amilla glanced at Reina, and her mouth twisted.
“That’s it. If you kill it, the answer will come out.”
fleeting moment.
A ball of iron fired from Amilla’s other hand pierced Ryan’s head.
Push-!
“Oops!·······”
after a brief flurry
uhhh-
Black smoke rose from Ryan’s body. It was black magic evidence, graphite.
“This makes it clear. The fact that Ryan was a warlock.”
“·······”
“As far as I’ve heard, during the engagement ceremony, you were aware of the existence of the black magician and dealt with it… I guess it was a coincidence.”
Amilla threw Ryan’s body away. Then he boldly moved on.
jerk- jerk-
The majestic footsteps stopped in front of Leonard.
“Take care of it like you did back then. Isn’t that what defense mages do?”
A voice that can hardly be heard.
Amilla, covered in arsenic, left the classroom as it was.
“·······”
In the calm silence, Leonard looked over at Ryan’s corpse without saying a word.
His blue eyes were full of confusion.
＊＊＊
the next afternoon.
An emergency meeting was held in the Imperial Academy conference room.
Because of the black magician commotion that happened this morning.
It was a case that had already been concluded with Ryan’s death, but the scale was too large to ignore.
Furthermore, the identity of the black magician who infiltrated was not a student, but a professor. It was an issue that the academy had to clearly and resolutely address, as it could have lost the royal family’s trust.
I also attended the meeting, and Frederick’s voice announced the start of the meeting in earnest in a serious atmosphere.
– Let’s start an emergency meeting.
First, I explained the whole story of the case. I also recalled what happened at dawn.
“······”
Right before a big fight (?).
Strange footsteps echoed in the hallway. Raina and I hurriedly left the warehouse.
Amilla wanders the corridors as if lost.
Reina, who recognized her, greeted a sudden guest, and I went into the classroom to wake up Professor Ryan. I explained the general situation to him.
– Wake up, Professor Ryan. A guest from the Immortal Knights has arrived.
Meanwhile, Rayna and Amilla enter the classroom.
While there was a brief gap, Rayna discovered that Ryan was a warlock through “Mind Reading” and immediately informed Amilla of this fact. Afterwards, Amilla attacked Ryan without delay.
A variable (Amilla) that was not in the original work processed another variable (Ryan).
It was a completely incomprehensible situation for me.
why the hell
What did Amilla come for?
What was the reason for the unscheduled support from the immortal knights?
I agonized until the end of Frederick’s explanation, but in the end I couldn’t figure out the answer.
-That is all. Let’s listen to the testimony of Reina, who was at the scene at the time.
As Frederick beckoned, Raina, who sat in the witness stand, spoke.
“This is Reina, a defense professor. At the time, I was trying to introduce Ryan to Amilla. But ‘Suddenly from the Immortal Knights? Did you notice that I am a warlock?’ Ryan’s intention was read, and I informed Amilla of that fact. And then right away…”
Recalling the terrifying situation at the time, Reina’s lips trembled.
Frederick was considerate of her and asked another question.
-Professor Reina has been hiding the fact that she possesses mind reading. Can you tell me why?
“Because there is a poor perception of mind reading.”
-okay. It is a personal opinion, so we will respect it.
Raina’s testimony was relatively brief. After that, I also got a few questions.
It was just a confirmation question about the situation at the time, no nutritious question.
-All right. The following is from the Amilla Knights…
By the way, no punishment was given to Amilla.
It was a somewhat radical response, but it was followed by the mind-reader’s testimony, and as a result, Ryan was a warlock.
– I’ll listen to the testimony here.
Next, the agenda for further action.
As expected, formal requests such as ‘Beware of your surroundings’ and ‘Report immediately if you suspect someone’ were over.
There was no way to distinguish a black mage other than manifesting black magic or killing it to confirm graphite.
There was only one way to drink the holy water of truth, but it was not easy to obtain at a price like a thousand gold, so the academy had no specific action to take.
-With this, we will finish the warlock countermeasures. The next agenda is the case of temporary substitute professor.
I swallowed dry saliva.
It came eventually.
I wanted to shout “I oppose this decision!” even now.
However, the decision to become a temporary professor was solely up to the executives, and since it had already been passed, there was no way to do anything about it.
In the end, I couldn’t stop Jeniel’s entrance.
– As a temporary professor in the pharmacy department, researcher Jeniel with excellent performance was selected from the Magic Tower. We hope you will welcome us. This is Jeniel Adoble Seirion.
The aides standing at the entrance opened the huge door.
Ki-Ik-
Brilliant sunlight came along the hallway.
A few beams of light acting like lights.
The spring breeze carries the scent of flowers outside the window.
Graceful footsteps echoed across the splendid stage created by Mother Nature.
step. another step.
Jeniel, who moved cautiously, had a shy smile on her face.
like a scene from a movie,
It was such a beautiful moment .
