I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist chapter 108

Episode 108. Schlus Heinkel (2)

Branden Heinkel.

The cardinal certainly looked at Schlust and exclaimed cheerfully.

Is it possible for someone who knows Schlust’s face to have the same last name by chance?

It’s obviously blood relative.

Erica came to that conclusion.

“Shulus! Long time no see! Do you recognize me?”

“············”.

“Ha. hahahaha. I forgot. It could be….”

Although the cardinal approached us warmly, Schlust was just smirking without a word.

no, that bastard is crazy

What a shameful thing to the Cardinal…

No, it seems that the two of you know each other, so why are you ignoring me?

Just as I was itching to ask a question, Einz hit the player.

“Shulus. Maybe it’s your family?”

“hahahahaha. No. I only lent my last name to Schlusus for a while. I had to hide my identity.”

“Aha······.”

It wasn’t blood.

Did you just borrow your last name?

To Schlus, a commoner, a figure as many as cardinals?

From what I’ve been watching, it seems that Schlus isn’t even a devout believer.

I had absolutely no idea what had happened.

“But I didn’t know he was still using that name. Did you find your mother?”

“············”.

“It seems that you haven’t been able to find it. Well. It was a natural story to see that you are still living under that name…”

“············”.

The unknown story continued.

The only strange thing was that the cardinal spoke in a bewildered way, and Schlusus continued to ignore it.

As if angry about something.

It was a strange situation.

“I’m so excited that I’m late to greet you. Saint Iris. This is Cardinal Branden Heinkel.”

“It’s been a long time.”

“That’s right. Ha ha ha.”

“This is my close friends. Erica von dem Liechtenburg and Einz von Wiegenburg. And Trier…”

“This is Edengart Trier von dem Schulzenberg.”

“Yes. Welcome. Please come inside.”

Do you have an acquaintance with Iris?

In a way, it was natural.

Iris is a saint who was ordained directly by the Pope.

Because there were so many arguments, the cardinals seemed to be very ferocious.

After shaking hands with everyone in the party, the party was guided and entered the large room inside.

“The Pope is telling us to wait a minute. It seems you are not ready yet.”

“okay······.”

In front of a burning bonfire.

The party sat down in a narrow room in the spacious room and lit a bonfire.

The inside of the church was so well ventilated that it felt cool.

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

Schlust enjoyed such silence, but there were two who could not stand it.

“So earlier…!”

“Schlusga…!”

Einz and Erika, who raised their voices at the same time, looked at each other.

Although they were two people with completely opposite personalities, there were, of course, overlapping parts.

Yes, I wonder if I have a personality that I can’t stand.

“So why did you give Schlus the cardinal’s surname?”

“That’s it….”

In response to Einz’s question, the Cardinal was staring at Schlusus and paying attention.

He nodded his head in response without saying a word.

But Iris just stared at the cardinal without saying a word.

The cardinal quickly realized the meaning and closed his eyes tightly.

Schlust said it was okay to speak, but Iris sent a signal of refusal.

It seemed that Iris’s story had to be put aside.

“Back in the day, when I was only a low-level priest. It was a time when the war with the kingdom was in full swing. At that time, a boy was pushed down by the river passing in front of the Iceburg Temple. . . . No, a nun came with a boy. He was already seriously wounded and was about to die.”

“···········?”

Any way you look at it, the boy was Schlus Heinkel in the context.

However, it was the first time for Erica that he had suffered fatal injuries and had been taken to the temple.

I only knew that he had disappeared after the Battle of Iceburg…

Gradually, intrigued, Erica began to focus on the cardinal’s story.

“When the boy woke up and was recovering, the kingdom army came. He asked if the son of the iceburg castle guard was here. That’s when the pseudonym Schlus Heinkel was born.”

“Then the name of Schlus is also Cardinal-sama…?”

“No. That’s what you came up with.”

The more she listened, the more Erica felt like she was falling into a bog.

What was Schlus doing and he was washed away by the river, and why was the kingdom army looking for him?

And then, why are you still using the fake name you made to avoid being pursued by the Kingdom Army?

At the moment when Erika was confused, Einz went out to inquire in more detail as to whether Einz was also a long-time member.

“So why did Schlust fall into the water? Why was he injured? Did you go to battle?”

“hahahahaha. I don’t know more than this.”

But the cardinal chuckled and refused to answer.

At the moment when Erica and Einz seemed to be going crazy, it was after they had caught some clues in Trier.

‘There was only one time when the army of the kingdom pushed down to the imperial land. It was only during the Winter Offensive.’

The period was narrowed down to the time of the winter offensive of the kingdom army.

That night, Iceburg Castle allowed thousands of Kingdom troops to penetrate and went to the brink of fall, but miraculously succeeded in defending it.

But the strange thing is that there were less than 30 defenders left on that day.

In fact, even after the battle, the Kingdom Army was leading a thousand troops.

In a castle that had already successfully infiltrated, a thousand elite soldiers gave up on the castle and fled, crushed by the momentum of only 30 guards?

The words did not match.

‘And the army was looking for Schlus….’

Let’s say that we lost the battle we should have won.

But, why would the Kingdom Army, who should not stop advancing, spend time looking for a boy or something?

How the hell did you judge the boy’s worth?

‘Maybe it wasn’t the boy… Schlus who led the battle to victory at that time.’

Trier looked into Schlust’s face and tried to read his expression.

Of course, there was no harvest.

Because his expression was always expressionless.

‘Ummm…?’

At that time, Trie’s eyes widened as she tilted her head back to straighten her back.

Schlust’s hand pulled back.

It was covered by Iris’ palm.

He slipped his fingers between his fingers and held them.

For a moment, I doubted that I had seen it wrong.

Looking forward again, Erica and Einz had no idea what was going on behind Schlust’s wide back.

“You’re going to die of frustration! Can’t you just tell me in a cool way, Iris? Do you know something too, right?”

“Ask Schlust. If Schlust allows it, you can say anything.”

“Schlus! Only you allow it! What a great past! Tell me once!”

“············”.

“Schlus?”

Schlus didn’t answer.

No, I guess I didn’t even hear the question in the first place.

He remained mournful, expressionless.

Einz felt a sense of incongruity, took his hand in front of Schlusz’s eyes and shook it.

Even if he suddenly applauded in front of him or snapped his fingers, Schlusus didn’t show any reaction.

It’s as if you passed out with your eyes open…

“Why are you like this, Shulus?”

“Iknow, right.”

It was the moment when Iris pulled out her hand with a calm smile.

“Ahhhh!”

“Surprised!”

Schlusus took a deep breath and woke up.

Trie was startled by his sudden reaction and did not know what to do.

Breathing heavily, Schlusus was examining the faces of the party one by one.

But his expression was strange.

I was terrified…

Rather, he had confused eyes.

It was the first time I had seen Schlust look like this.

Only Iris was watching this situation calmly.

***

I was wondering what we were going to do.

When Iris suddenly grabbed my hand from behind.

I didn’t make any effort to get rid of it.

I just wanted to know why.

Are you just trying to make fun of me and enjoy the reaction?

Or is there something on purpose?

‘uh?’

At that moment, a feeling of suffocation as if pressing down on his whole body came over.

vision is blocked

The muffled voices also ceased.

All that was left of me was a warm touch on my left hand.

‘sh*t.’

I’ve been through it a few times so I can say for sure.

I guess I’ll just be trapped in a barrier.

Did he do something, but he grabbed my hand, embarrassed me, and secretly opened a barrier?

Yes, it was of no use to me.

It’s okay if you destroy it right away.

‘what?’

However, no matter how much I looked, I could not find the magic of the barrier.

I tried to use ‘selection and concentration’ for mana sensitivity just in case, but there was no magic trick that appeared.

It was impossible even with the hands of a magician to hide the magic so cleverly.

Now I had to draw a conclusion.

There is no barrier that surrounds me right now.

It was a little confusing, but now I really get it.

It wasn’t a barrier, it was the influence of my abilities.

‘My own memory….’

The ability to overwrite reality if activated strongly.

Even the random wind had triggered my Gatrol ability, which I couldn’t control.

Perhaps it was the memory before Schlusus learned to see and hear with mana.

But then, what was the reason that his abilities were so intensely expressed?

Maybe I’ll hold onto Iris’s hand?

‘uh?’

Then a warm hand opened my fist and started tickling my palm.

No, this wasn’t tickling.

It was writing.

-My Name. I’ll let you know.

I’ll give you my name.

great. tell me

‘Cause I’m not going to eat it

-Iris.

oh crazy.

– What’s your name?

The puzzle pieces were slowly coming together.
