I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist chapter 118

Episode 118. Counterattack Prelude (1)

Unconsciously, I rummaged through my pockets.

It was only after I felt the soft touch of my fingertips that I felt relieved.

After making sure that no one was around, I pulled out a handkerchief.

A white handkerchief with a pink ribbon as cute as its owner.

“Seup… ha ha ha….”

I couldn’t stand it, so I brought it close to my nose and sniffed it.

The reverberation of Emilia’s magical power still remained on the handkerchief.

I savored its unique scent.

Anyone who saw it might call it a pervert, but there was a reasonable reason why it had to be like this.

It is very important to distinguish Emilia’s magical reverberation.

Last time I was kidnapped by Jin, it was enough to find Emilia.

But what if you were away from Emilia for a week and then you forgot the scent?

What if I came back to the Imperial University without forgetting it and had to find Emilia with the reverberation again?

Just imagining it was terrifying.

For that reason, I had to periodically smell the handkerchief so as not to forget Emilia’s scent.

Of course, if I smell it too often, my smell will soak into it and become useless, so I was careful.

If only there had been a guarantee that my body odor would not come off, I would have kept my nose in the handkerchief all of my spare time.

“Shall we go back now?”

I had to go back slowly.

The atmosphere was heated up by the duel, but the military dance meeting was still in the middle.

With Kane sacrificing his honor to bring the knights down to Pellin, now it’s our turn to work.

“I wonder what’s going on….”

Erica yawned loudly and stuttered.

Hearing the loud shouts amongst the strangely excited knights, he was too tired to stand still.

I wonder what the replacement commander-in-chief was saying that everyone could not follow, but then agreed to follow the duel in one shot.

It was difficult for Erica to understand at all.

“Well?”

next to the barracks.

Finding Schlus Heinkel standing there alone, Erica sticks her head out.

Schulz’s expression looked anxious.

As if engulfed in anxiety.

okay. It was like when someone addicted to something showed withdrawal symptoms.

He rummaged through his pockets with trembling hands—

‘Yes?’

He took out a white handkerchief.

what is that

A thing with a ribbon was never something a man could carry.

If you’re an adult woman, you’ll usually wear something with frills or something.

It was definitely a handkerchief suitable for a young girl.

With that handkerchief, Schlus-

‘Huh?!’

He brought it to his face and sniffed it.

At first, I thought I was mistaken for wiping the chin, but it wasn’t.

Schulus was constantly taking in deep breaths and exhaling repeatedly.

As I watched it, I could only think of one thing.

‘A change of shape….’

stinky cub.

Erica turned away with disgust and—

“Erica? What are you doing here-“

“······································································!

I ran into Iris.

At that moment, I thought that I shouldn’t show Schlust to Iris.

At the same time, he didn’t want Schluss to find out that he was also spying on him.

Erika, who became desperate by two desires, drew a magic trick in an instant, then drew a world of cognitive decline and wrapped herself and Iris.

It was a barrier that elaborately hid its traces so that no one could detect it.

Even if it’s a sensitive Schlus, I’m sure you’ll notice.

“Uh…?”

“Wait a minute.”

I waited for a few seconds, covering Iris’s mouth.

But there was no way Schlusus walked over and nodded his head.

Successfully hid the barrier…

Against that Schlus Heinkel.

When I was young, I felt more proud of my stomach than when I pressed the teachers at the speed of calculations at the academy.

“Ugh!”

“Oh sorry.”

With a moan of dissatisfaction, Erica finally remembered Iris’s existence and removed her hand.

“What is it?”

“No. Iris, maybe you….”

“Perhaps?”

“············”.

Have you ever given Schlus a handkerchief?

Or has your handkerchief been stolen recently?

I tried to ask, but the sound was stuck in my throat and couldn’t come out.

I couldn’t help but ask.

The answer was scary.

Whether Iris was right or not, something felt strange.

‘driving me crazy.’

In hindsight, everything surrounding Schlus was suspicious.

Iris seems to have met Schlus in the past.

Come to think of it, there was also an engagement scandal with the Crown Prince.

Although recently, His Majesty the Crown Prince took off the ring and his voice has diminished.

Other than that, he is an overly friendly ascetic.

Like the daughter of a loyal mercenary, as if he had promised eternity.

A geek prodigy who follows Schlus so well that it is second to none.

It seemed that only Erica herself did not know Schlusus well.

“Iris.”

“yes?”

I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Erica decided to solve the question that had been rotten by herself for a while.

“What’s your relationship with Schluss Heinkel? Did you two meet before coming to Imperial University?”

“············”.

Iris opened her mouth slightly for a moment, made a surprised face, and then smiled softly.

I was a little unlucky.

It’s as if you’re saying that it’s all a predictable question.

If Iris was thorough, he would have thought of an answer to such a random question.

But it was of no use if you were going to escape like a loach.

This time, I’ll hold on tight until I get a satisfactory answer.

“That’s right. A long time ago. We met 10 years ago.”

“10 years ago….”

It was an unexpected answer.

There was no way Iris was lying.

“I asked what’s the relationship? It’s hard to say exactly, but… it is. It would be better to say that Schlust is the only person who knows the insides of my mask.”

“What….”

Iris put her index finger to her lips as if it was a secret, and then smiled and passed Erica and went back to the barracks.

Confused, Erica stood tall and stared at Iris’ back.

The sound of being the only person who knows what’s inside the mask…

You mean that Schlust knows what you can’t see even in front of my old friend, right?

“under······.”

It was strange.

I thought that my hatred for Schlus would grow stronger if I heard such words.

Strangely, I felt betrayed.

To Iris, not Schlus.

No, it was a slightly different feeling from betrayal.

Erika, who tilted her head and pondered-

“Jealousy? Eh, ah. No wonder-“

“Erica.”

“Huh?!”

I jumped in surprise at the loud voice I heard from behind.

Schlus was standing right behind him.

“Let’s go back to the military meeting. You also have a story to tell.”

“Yes······.”

Schlusus stood next to him, patted him on the shoulder and headed for the barracks.

After discovering the following Schlus, Iris’s face turned red.

The two of them, who were a little far apart, suddenly became close enough to rub their hands and started talking.

Looking at the back of their heads, Erica felt her mood rise.

It was a strange feeling that was difficult to explain.

“I think it’s the first military dance meeting since that day.”

A barracks with a solemn atmosphere.

Feline looked around and lowered her voice.

“It was three days when it was difficult to enter the fortress after being chased by the enemy. However, the situation has changed. The strong imperial knights commander has been revived and reinforcements have arrived. I think it is time for us to unite and try to counterattack. is there?”

“There is not!”

The knights responded with a loud voice.

Before the duel, I wondered if the guys who were fighting against Pellin were right.

Of course, there were still some guys with their arms crossed, staring at Pellain’s ears, and displeased faces.

Still, there was nothing they didn’t like.

In the end, he must have completely agreed that the enemy had to fight back.

“First, let’s go over the problems we’re facing now. The most urgent thing to solve is the enemy camps surrounding the fortress.”

It was definitely very annoying.

Although distributed slightly sparsely, the enemy was clearly besieging the fortress.

“It’s still only infantry, so it’s not a big burden, but once the enemy starts building siege weapons in earnest, it will be quite difficult. At that time, you won’t be able to even escape.”

“············”.

Of course, the siege was not complete.

The extent to which knights can break through if they put their mind to it.

Actually, earlier, when we entered the fortress and when we returned to rescue the commander of the Imperial Knights, we pierced through the enemy.

For civilians, however, the story was different.

You will be blocked by enemies approaching the fortress.

This means that they will not be able to receive any supplies sent by the upper ranks hired by the suppression forces.

“We already have a chronic supply shortage. We are in short supply except for drinking water. It is urgent to sweep the enemy’s camp once and make the siege unthinkable.”

“That I agree with. The enemy is underestimating us.”

Kane nodded and helped.

“We will attack at dawn. The goal is to dismantle the encirclement. If the enemy heavy cavalry appears, we will refrain from clashes and move in the direction of keeping the troops warm. Then the charge formation will be…”

“Ah. I have something to say about that.”

“···········?”

I couldn’t stand it and interrupted the meeting.

At most, wizards came to reinforce them.

There is no reason to fight the same as before.

“If an enemy heavy cavalry appears, it will face-to-face and rotate.”

“What, what?”

Pellin’s eyes widened.

But that didn’t stop me from talking.

“Let’s put magicians into the charge formation.”

“Magicians in charge formation? But what if they are captured by the enemy?”

“············”.

Kane frowned and protested.

Pellain didn’t say anything about this and just stared at me.

Certainly that was the common perception of wizards on the battlefield.

An existence that becomes a burden immediately after pouring out one or two powerful firepower.

That is why it was practically suicidal for the wizard to come out of the defense and attack.

There are even assassins like Hurt Locker who specialize in hunting such fearless wizards.

Of course, his body is that hard, so I’ll leave out a monster like Sergei who broke through a castle by himself.

“I will participate in the charge formation, but I will use it defensively. The target is not the enemy’s infantry or anything like that. If the enemy’s heavy cavalry sorties in large numbers, then we will aim to destroy the enemy cavalry.”

“······································································!

There was a reason why I didn’t bother to use grandiose magic when I came here.

There are five top-level wizards of the Empire here.

No, except for Trier and me, there would be three.

In any case, if an enemy who didn’t even know it was charging in a dense formation to destroy our cavalry…

At that time, I was thinking of making a surprise attack with a bang.

It was necessary to make full use of the magic power that the enemy did not have.

“The enemy has become excessively powerful and so on. We are more than that.”

The knights were forcing their morale to float, but the general soldiers seemed to have reached their limit of fatigue.

It was a miracle to have survived without sleeping for three days in a state of low morale.

“Nothing else is needed to boost morale. A monumental battle. A meaningful counterattack. A great victory that will shock and terrify the enemy. We are here as reinforcements to deliver that victory.”

“If you deal a heavy blow to the enemy cavalry… it will definitely raise your morale.”

“It doesn’t stop there. We’ll take the 4th castle at once.”

“··········································································?!”

The knights looked at me and the party standing behind me with eyes that were hard to believe.

Looking at their faces, all of them had similar expressions except for Iris.

me? There were aspects that seemed to say.

okay. you have to
