I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist chapter 128

Episode 128. Retake (1)

There were those who didn’t believe it.

I wondered if there could be a way in the world to make a whole castle out of charcoal.

Even if it was possible to create such a thing, there were those who were angry that it would not be possible to write it in only half a day.

“Yeah! Say it’s all true! But would you use it because the rioters are crazy? There’s a saint in here!”

They rationally developed their own logic and preached that there was no way that magic could be invoked.

“ah······.”

“uh······.”

But the moment when the magic finally became visible.

The moment the purple light began to glow horribly above their heads.

Their reason and logic melted away.

“Damn! Escape!”

Even the remaining Southern Republic Army units tried to escape through the back door.

From the moment they saw that, the thought of running away dominated their minds.

Maybe it was a bait to deceive us by putting in the saint.

Or, they rationalized their decision with excuses such as that the suppression force was concentrated on the defense enough to use a vicious number.

For now, there was no other option than to run away.

“What about the saint and the residents?!”

“It was a command to leave it alone! Only us get out!”

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

Everyone was shocked and unable to speak.

However, none of the dogs objected.

There should be no civilians living in the castle, including the saint.

All of them had to be subjected to the brutal slaughter of the repression forces.

Not a single person could be left behind to witness the fact that the Confederate Army had first noticed and had only withdrawn their troops.

“I would like to inform the residents of the 4th castle. As a result of analyzing the giant magic that has appeared in the sky, it has been concluded that it is not an attack technique. The 4th castle is safe. ·”

Broadcasts using communication artifacts began to flow.

But the broadcast just kept repeating the same sound over and over.

“The fourth castle is safe. So, residents, please rest assured and engage in your business. To all residents of the fourth castle…”

The communication room was already empty.

Communication Artifacts continued to release recordings.

The back door was already closed, and all the military units were far away from the 4th castle.

However, the residents of the 4th province still firmly believed in the broadcast, packing their evacuation bags and then unpacking them again.

Gooa…

Now I could clearly feel the heat emanating from the ceremony.

Even though it’s midsummer, it’s already well past the hot level.

When I lifted my head, I could see that a red figure the size of a large mountain was coming down.

“ah······!”

Only then did the residents notice.

It wasn’t like a red circle.

It wasn’t a painting in the sky.

It was a sphere.

A crimson fireball blazing and burning.

Everyone raised their necks and looked up at the sky, feeling intuition.

now that he’s dead

“Huh? Over there!”

Then there was a child who was immaturely pointing the other way.

“Why is the flag going down?”

“···········?”

This naturally turned people’s heads.

The gates of the 4th star.

The flag of the southern republic was going down from the flag hoisting platform of the castle gate, which was nothing more than a signboard for the fourth castle.

It was around the time when everyone was dazed not knowing what had happened.

“Huh? A fireball?!”

The spell began to swallow the fireball again.

The fireball, which had been slowly descending, went up again and hid its shape.

In an instant, the heat and the red sphere disappeared-

Whoops…!

It was scattered in all directions like an explosion of purple light in the air.

And there was nothing left.

As always, only the blue sky.

The residents suddenly wondered if everything that had just happened had been a dream.

***

sh*t.

When he snapped his finger, the core of the technique was destroyed with a light sound.

The formula that lost the core could no longer maintain its shape and just collapsed.

Because the size of the drink was so large, it was so beautiful that it was even destroyed.

‘It’s a little sad.’

It was the magic that consumed the most mana after the lightning magic in the Wrist Forest.

If I said I didn’t want to see it explode, I’d be lying.

However, as there were the villagers, the prisoners of the suppression army, and even the saint below, I had to destroy it with tears in my eyes.

I’m not a psychopath and I couldn’t let that explode.

“Enter quickly! You must take control of the castle gate first!”

However, the work wasn’t over yet.

Now I have to neutralize the castle’s defense capabilities…

It worked out so well that I wondered if it could be this easy.

There were really no rebels left inside, only a few poorly armed castle guards left.

“Ha, surrender! I will surrender!”

“It’s surrender!”

“············”.

Of course, most of them were not deployed in battle.

Was he frightened by the sudden attack of fully armed knights?

All the guards surrendered without even thinking of putting a finger on the handle of the sword.

It made some sense to think that it must have felt like a local reservist was standing guard with an old M16 rifle and suddenly an enemy tank appeared from behind.

“The 4th castle is safe. So, residents, rest assured…”

“scent.”

Broadcasts that seemed to have been heard were streaming continuously.

Was it to prevent the residents from even thinking of evacuating?

It was truly a terrifying idea.

If you did this, I would be grateful.

Because the 4th Star provided a good opportunity to turn their backs on the rebels.

“You must hurry to raid and occupy the defensive facilities. You must make sure that the enemy does not re-enter through the back door. And Schlus-nim.”

“Well?”

“We have to go do the most important thing.”

“···········?”

Pellin looked at me and said seriously.

the most important thing?

To be honest, I didn’t even get it.

There’s nothing more urgent than quickly overpowering the castle’s defenses.

Is it okay to miss out on core power like Pellin in a game where you have to run here and there because there are so few numbers?

“Here you go, Commander-in-Chief…”

“Good job. Go quickly.”

“Yes.”

Taylor handed something wrapped in a cloth to Pelline and hurried to run.

oh He seemed to know a bit now.

Pellin gave a chin sign to follow, and I followed without a word, nodding.

“············”.

“············”.

A quiet spire with no one in it.

We ran up the endless circular staircase.

As the sound of the wind slowly drew closer, it seemed that they were almost there.

Finally, a half-open wooden door appeared.

The moment Pellin slammed it open and jumped out-

“Wow!”

“Felline!”

Pellin was about to roll down the steep spire as it was.

The center of gravity had already shifted to the outside.

Just as Pelline was about to step back, I managed to grab her hand.

If it had been a little late, it would have been impossible to save the future Imperial Swordsman…

“Ugh…”

I applied force with both hands and barely pulled Pellin inside.

Combined with the armor and long sword, the weight was no joke.

“Huh! I almost died!”

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

Pellin, who jumped towards me in an instant, hugged me tightly.

There was no misunderstanding.

It must have been because he was pulled this way, so he had no choice but to hug him.

“It’s like a dream, really. I never thought I’d be able to retake the Fourth Castle with this force.”

“Recapture is not yet, Pellain. Even if it was stolen, there could be a rebellion within it at any time and it could be taken away. This is the beginning.”

“Okay. Shall we take that first step? I’ll go upstairs and lower the rope. All you need to do is pull the rope.”

As if holding her back, Pellain hurriedly turned around, picked up a piece of cloth that had fallen to the ground, and poked her head out the door.

It was quite high.

At least in this vicinity, there was no structure higher than here.

It was true that the steepness of the spire was steep, but it seemed that there was nothing that could not be climbed if you looked carefully and set your feet.

Soon Pellain rolled up the cloth, put it in her mouth, and began to climb the walls of the spire.

“Wow······.”

It was a terrible speed.

After all, it’s a cat beast, isn’t it?

Pelline, who had just arrived at the top of the spire, the flagpole, was to untie the rope and drop it down to me.

“Okay! Pull it!”

“I get it!”

I pulled the rope as hard as I could.

until it can no longer be pulled.

Suddenly, there was the sound of fluttering from above and the sound of the fabric fluttering in the wind.

I fastened the rope to the back wall and poked my head out the door.

The national flag and symbol of the suppression force.

A black eagle painted on a red background was flying in the sky.

Even outside the 4th star, if my eyesight was good enough, I could see it from the 3rd star.

This is what we were declaring.

The 4th Star fell into the hands of the suppression forces.

This signal must also have been seen by the wagons following them with their equipment.

By now, you should be safe with your armor and weapons inside.

“Ugh! It’s a little hard to come down!”

“Leave yourself to me.”

“Hey!”

No, I didn’t mean to jump into my arms.

I had to receive the falling Pellin with my whole body like a special force advancing through the window.

“Cuckoo!”

It felt like being run over by an elephant.

I flew backwards and collapsed with a feeling of suffocation for an instant.

After recovering my lost vision for a while, I noticed that Pellin was sitting on top of me and laughing out loud.

“I’m sorry, Schluss. You have made a very serious disrespect to the investor.”

“By the way. I’ll have to dispose of all the shares tomorrow.”

“Ah! I’m really sorry! I was wrong! Please, that’s all!”

“It was a joke.”

“ah······.”

Anyway, he was like a guy who lived his whole life without knowing that it was a joke.

It would be fun to make fun of.

I caught my breath and got up.

I feel like my lungs are a little shriveled.

Is there any permanent damage to this or not?

If there was, Iris would have to get treatment.

“If it’s just raising the flag, shouldn’t it be okay to send someone else?”

“No. It’s a matter of carrying the flag of the empire and putting it in the heart of the enemy, but you can’t have anyone do this. If you ask someone else and the flag is damaged… Ugh. I hate to imagine. yes.”

“············”.

okay. Pellin was such a guy.

A guy who can’t let go of all the responsibilities without taking on his own.

As the leader of the Knights Templar, whether it rises or falls, he was willing to take on all the responsibilities.

“Did you even drag me into carrying the sacred flag? If it gets damaged, do you want to share the responsibility in half?”

“No. Because I trusted Schulus-sama. Even if I make a mistake, Schluss-sama will correct it. Actually, you caught something that almost fell because you were too hasty, didn’t you?”

“············”.

I was joking.

Fellin, who did not understand, gave a serious answer.

Believe me…

Just as I completely trusted Iris, Pellain seemed to trust me.

I never imagined that I could be someone’s absolute trust.

It felt kind of odd.

It’s embarrassing because I’m tickling for nothing.

“Let’s hurry. Somewhere inside the castle, there may be a fierce battle going on.”

“That’s right. Let’s go to the support right away.”

“············”.

What kind of face am I making now?

Not wanting to be seen, I quickly turned my back and started going down the stairs.

“Mr Schlus.”

“············”.

“Last time, you let it go naturally, but I also have to say thank you.”

“············”.

He didn’t respond.

There was no other great reason.

It was just that I was so out of breath that I couldn’t speak.

That said, I couldn’t stop talking about it in this urgent situation.

It was the prerogative of monsters like Triena Pellain to be able to speak so calmly while jumping down the stairs at a sharp speed.

“All members of the Holy Knights are of the same mind. Without Schulus-nim, we would never have survived. We all respect Schlus-sama.”

“············”.

I think the person to be respected is wrong.

Because all you had to do was buy your stock since the days when it was cheap, hold it in your hand without ever selling it, and return the dividend over and over again.

From my point of view, I have invested nothing but a little penny.

“Sulus-sama is our hero.”

“············”.

“I don’t know if you want to deny it, but we think so. Just be aware of that…”

“············”.

Pellain’s voice crawls in at the last minute and then cuts off.

After that, there was no conversation between us.

It was just going down the endless stairs.
