“… … .”
I know I’m relatively out of character. A person who is told not to do something rather wants to do it.
So when Tia yelled at me not to come in, I had a mischievous thought to go in.
Of course, I didn’t really get into it. If he’s even changing his clothes, things will get worse.
10 minutes to wait outside like that.
“Should there still be more?”
“Noisy! Can’t you just shut up and wait?!”
Tia still refuses to let me into the room. What is this? Are you thinking of training me?
“If you are busy, can you just come back later?”
“Then it’s as if I’m uncomfortable with you! no it’s not? Aren’t you embarrassed at all?”
“I never said a word like that, but… … . Are you embarrassed?”
“no it’s not?!”
What do you mean?
No matter how you look at it, it seems awkward right? What happened? Maybe I’m ashamed of what I did last time.
“There is no need to be ashamed of the principal. Isn’t that something everyone goes through?”
“Wh-what?! You pervert!”
Words are harsh. Do you think there is a person as stoic as me?
I am a person who has kept the middle way in the face of numerous temptations.
If I had converted to Buddhism, I would have reached Nirvana.
“Anyway, if I can’t do it now, I’ll go back. Or can I come in? I am a busy person too. Whatever it is, decide quickly.”
“eww… … .”
I waited for Tia to come to a conclusion for about 5 seconds.
“come in.”
“… … did you have Miss Spina.”
It was Spina, her sister, who opened the door for Tia.
I didn’t even know it was because I hadn’t said a word until now. Unlike her older sister, she has a quiet personality.
It’s only natural that she doesn’t notice that she’s overreacting. Even if she had [Contemplation], she would not be able to perceive others in front of Tia’s overwhelming presence.
“Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
Spina seemed to be staring up at me, then gave me a little tug on my sleeve and thanked her.
A person who has become different from her sister.
I was worried because Tia looked like that, but I’m glad that she seems to be receiving proper home education.
By the way, the most important Tia is… … .
“What are you doing… … ?”
There was something round on the bed.
To be precise, it was Tia, wrapped in a blanket and curled up in a circle.
What the hell are you doing?
“I don’t know.”
I glanced at Spina, but she didn’t give me a proper answer either. However, there was no sign of concern, so there seemed to be no problem.
“Principal, I don’t know what the reason is, but do you want to say it as it is?”
“… … What.”
No matter how much I had to talk about it after seeing my face, Tia tossed over the blanket and pulled out only her head.
Jujutsu is also good.
“Aren’t you out of breath because of that? Even your face turned red, how long have you been doing that?”
“Never mind.”
It’s picky.
Well, this is no different than usual, so I shouldn’t worry about it.
“What are you here for?”
“That’s right. You hear that question after 10 minutes.”
“Noisy.”
Tia glares at me with grim eyes. Of course, just the head sticking out of the blanket is like a turtle, so it’s not particularly scary.
“I’m here to ask for a favor.”
“… … You have become so shameless.”
“I even saved the school principal’s life, is that difficult?”
“Everything is fine, but you have a problem with that snout. I thought I would take care of it even if I just stayed still, but why do you keep ruining your reputation?”
“Oh, I thought you would take care of it. May I ask what it is?”
“… … .”
With her eyes wide open, Tia took out her right hand from under the blanket this time and nodded.
It’s a call to come closer
“Mmm, stop.”
“… … ?”
“Oh no, come closer.”
“Which tune should I tune in to? Miss Spina.”
“I think my sister will like it if I go.”
Spina read a book by Tia’s side and replied casually.
Isn’t it too cold to hold on to the hem of my clothes and ask for Tia’s life?
“What book are you reading?”
“… … this.”
Spina stared at me, then put a bookmark in the book she was reading and showed the book to me.
I wanted it to be a fairy tale like last time. She’s a child, so wouldn’t she like that?
But surprisingly, the moment I saw the book Spina showed me, I knew that my expectations were completely off.
[101 ways to convince people who can’t be honest]
what is that
what the hell are you reading Is that a book that needs to be that thick?
I don’t know. I really don’t know.
I can’t figure out why a book like this exists.
But what… … . I’m curious.
“… … Could you lend it to me later?”
“Since you saved my sister, I’ll lend you a special loan.”
“thank you.”
I’ll read it later when I have time.
“Uh, hmm!”
“Principal, I will go there even if you don’t bother, so don’t notice it. Would you like me to take away Spina?”
I think I know why Spina was reading that book. Looking at it now, Tia has a rather troublesome personality.
“came. academy… … No, don’t go under the futon again.”
Tia went back into the futon with a fuss when I approached her.
Could it be that there was something prepared under the blanket? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be nice if you took it out right away?
“Sister, Oz is trying to secretly remove the blanket.”
“What are you doing!”
“No, I didn’t do anything. Anyway, it’s okay to come back.”
Spina opened the book she was reading and showed it with a triumphant expression.
Looking closely, it was the 22nd method out of 101 methods. it’s a subtle book.
“Hey.”
“Yes, headmaster. You seem to be in a worse mood today.”
“no it’s not? Give me your hand anyway.”
“You mean the hand? Does it matter which hand?”
“doesn’t exist. To be honest, it doesn’t matter if it’s not your hands, but it’s more comfortable that way.”
“Um… … .”
It’s something I don’t like, but I put my hand out as Tia said. Then Tia’s hand, which had come out of the blanket, grabbed my hand as if snatching it.
“Yum.”
And the scene that followed was one that could be said to be shocking.
Tia is biting my finger.
In the midst of an unknown situation, my head is turning white.
“Ahhh?!”
It was the pain that brought my sanity back.
It wasn’t a cute thing to bite lightly. That was no different from the pressure a beast exerts to split the thing in front of it in half.
Even the structure of Tia’s teeth is slightly different from that of humans. Her fangs are sharp like those of a beast of prey.
“Two.”
Tia, who had been chewing on my finger like that, spat out my hand. From the look on his face, it seemed that he had no taste. I’m pretty proud of myself
“… … What the hell have you been doing? I don’t know English.”
I want to hit him at least once, but I hold back.
It has already been 4 days since she was hospitalized.
At first, I couldn’t climb a single wall and struggled, but by now, my physical strength was far higher than mine.
Incredible resilience… … Rather, it is because her limits are beyond imagination. It takes an absurd two years for her to recover even in such a state.
2 years. 730 days in terms of days. In other words, that power is 4/730.
I’m really glad you survived.
“ruler.”
Tia, who was mumbling something like that, soon stuck out her tongue.
There was something reddish on her tongue.
“uh?!”
Surprised, I check the place where Tia was bitten. I thought it might have been cut, but luckily it didn’t.
It’s tattered, but that’s it.
Looking closely, it was her fangs, not my fingers, on her tongue.
Well, this one is also amazing.
Still, I knew now what she was going to do.
“Well… … .”
Carefully lift the fangs resting on Tia’s little tongue.
Rather, the method is insidious. It’s nothing special, but I feel immoral for nothing.
“Are you a dragon disease?”
“yes. Since you are a magician, wouldn’t it be reassuring to have a avant-garde?”
“That is not wrong. I often go alone.”
A soldier born from a dragon’s teeth.
If I had to categorize it, it would be something like a golem or homunculus made with alchemy.
I used it in practice before, but the dragon soldier is quite strong.
Even in terms of defense, it’s on the same level as SSR.
It is said that the soldier she made by pulling her teeth has similar specifications to Ung-jeong, the [Cheong-o Geosa] who continues to train in Mt. Bongnae.
“Anyway, I’m afraid I don’t know how Baekyang will react when he sees this. Still, I’ll be grateful.”
Baekyang is also very jealous.
Thinking back to Eleanor’s time, if there was something that could replace her, she might try to destroy it.
“Kyaaah!”
“What is it this time?”
“Don’t bring up his name! I thought I’d calm down now, but I’m just conscious! You bastard.”
Is omitting the context even a must-have for people who go to ＜Skientia＞? What do you mean by saying that without end?
“You seem to be in a bad mood today.”
“It’s because I’m not feeling well.”
“If I go bad twice, my hand will not be left. So don’t get sick in the future.”
“… … Your attitude is the problem.”
“Did you say something nice?”
“therefore. That’s the problem.”
Tia pursed her lips, then got back into bed. Do you hibernate because you’re not feeling well?
I understand the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed, but it is severe.
Well, since you can still talk in that state, there shouldn’t be a big problem.
Whether you look at her face or not, in the end, isn’t it up to her?
I’m sorry but I can’t help it.
“How much is this?”
“Well… … Well? Still, it was made with care, so it would be better than going around the academy, right?”
“okay.”
This will be a trump card.
Not only is it easy to carry, but it’s small and inconspicuous, so you can use it as a shield when the need arises.
Immediately, the mercenary soldiers guarding ＜Skientia＞ were at the level of the SSR.
If it were several times that, it would be able to block even Janus’ attack.
“Now is it? I’m tired of seeing your face today, so go back now.”
“I didn’t even get my point out. Isn’t that more talkative than that?”
Are you saying that just looking at my face makes me tired?
“Oh yeah. Main subject. Tell me. Because I am listening properly.”
“… … .”
Having said that, I went into the futon and did not come out. Look at the height of that indolence. I don’t want to become an adult like that later.
“I want to meet the emperor.”
“Maybe we can meet?”
“Tell me in detail. I don’t think the emperor, who has a beggarly personality, will accept my request for an interview, so I need the help of the head of the academy.”
“Oh, damn it. It’s such a probable issue that I can’t refute it.”
Tia pulled her head out of the blanket again, frowning.
Rather, did he intend to maintain that stance until the end?
“therefore? When do you want to go?”
“I do not know. The sooner the better, but I don’t think it’s polite to go to the current situation, so wouldn’t it be okay in about three days?”
“It is fast too. Still, it’s an understandable period when you look at that bastard from Antares.”
“I guess so. Absolute power is terrifying.”
“Originally, you were in a similar position.”
“Because I don’t have the strength to maintain absolute power.”
“Even Antares has no strength.”
“Isn’t your head spinning well?”
Antares Van Helios.
It’s not that great level if you consider the power of one person.
Moreover, now that she has become senile, she can defeat Eleanor at the time of entering ＜Skientia＞.
This world is a place where individual brute strength can stand against legions.
It doesn’t usually make sense that the weak can remain absolute monarchs.
But Antares became that.
There is a saying that the pen is mightier than the sword. But in this world, it is many times more difficult for that word to come true.
Because the sword is too overpowering.
In such a situation, he subdued everyone through pen and tongue.
This shows how monstrous his political skills are.
“Let’s ask Kim who said it. How do you think the emperor will move?”
“I do not know. If it were me, maybe… … .”
Antares is for the Empire.
He is a man who can cut everything for the empire.
Yes, even your own life. Then how will he act?
Now is the time for a generational shift. His twilight was not far off.
“I’m sure he’ll lay the groundwork for him to put down the throne soon.”
“Then how?”
It will take years to repair the damage done to the Empire, at the very least. And there’s no guarantee that Antares will be alive by then.
Antares is working hard now, but not in the future.
It is certain that sooner or later he will transfer the throne to one of his children.
“Wouldn’t it be bloody windy?”
And in a pretty violent way too.
