159. Imperial University Raid (2)
Quaang!
“What?!”
Imperial University Investigation Department.
Sergei, who was at work, was startled by the binge drinking and ran out of the office.
“What did you just do?”
“Professor! Look at this!”
“·······!”
What the hurried employee showed was a hologram image.
Surveillance footage facing the front door.
There was nothing at the front door that was supposed to be there.
In place of the large iron bars and checkpoints, only black bombing centers have been established.
I saw suspicious personnel stepping on the large soot painted on the floor and breaking in one after another.
“The barrier was broken…!”
It wasn’t an attempt to destroy the magic formula, but simply breaking the barrier of the Imperial University with firepower.
A shocked Sergei hurriedly left the building.
It wasn’t that there weren’t any terror attacks targeting the Imperial University until now, but this was the first time the barrier had been breached.
It was obvious without knowing who did it.
“The damn kingdom bastards…!”
It must be the work of the kingdom’s spies.
On the Day of Magic, they attempted terrorism against civilians, and at that moment they wondered why the Imperial University didn’t do it.
But I never thought they would push in with such unexpected firepower.
Could it be that the crows were attracted?
No, it couldn’t have been.
No matter how much a crow disregards the law, it won’t do anything that goes against the national interest of the empire.
They have been obedient to the imperial family ever since the imperial family retaliated against the assassination of the crown prince by Henderson the Crow and several crows hung on the street.
If that’s the case…
Quang!
“My God…”
In the distance, smoke could be seen rising with an explosion.
In that direction, it must be the director’s residence.
At the Imperial University, the target with higher value than the professors was definitely Schluss Heinkel.
It was no surprise that they ran straight for Schluse.
The only thing I was worried about was that the firepower was enough to break the barrier surrounding the entire Imperial University, so the explosion that had just happened would have shattered the barrier in the president’s quarters.
Boom!
“Ha·······.”
The explosion continues again.
Since then, there has been no sound coming from the director’s quarters.
Sergei closed his eyes tightly.
He expected that one day there would be a radical movement targeting Schluss.
But I never dreamed that it would happen so quickly that I couldn’t even cope with it.
I can’t believe the capabilities of the agents of the Kingdom’s Secret Service were this much.
Sergei shuddered for a moment at the fresh shock, but then gritting his teeth and kicking off the ground again.
-Professor Sergei. I found several behemoths in East East.
“Head Professor!”
At that time, Ludwig’s voice was heard from the communication magic received.
The voice was a little muffled, but not to the point of being unintelligible.
Sergei immediately turned towards East East.
-All the students were evacuated and a barrier was opened-
Quang!
-Yes·······. Just woke up.
It was an emergency.
Even Ludwig, no matter how good he is at sealing, would not be able to deal with infinitely high magical power.
“Don’t rush into it and hold on! I’ll be right there!”
-Professor Sergey, be careful. They don’t use magic.
“Yes? What is that-“
– Self-destruct using internal circuit. It is impossible to destroy them, so be careful not to get close to them.
“·······!”
Sergei’s pupils shook.
Did the internal circuits be edited using an explosive technique?
To do that, I would have had to open the heart, take out all the circuits, and carve a new one.
It was just astonishing that anyone could survive such a major operation.
-They’re trying to get closer with the recognition barrier open. I will give up Pafe to save magic. How long will it take to arrive?
“Three······”
– You mean three minutes? Let’s hold on for a while.
“This…”
-······!
“Work!”
In an instant, Sergei crossed the grounds of the Imperial College and reached East East through the forest.
Instantly, Sergei focused all his nerves on the wave of magical power.
“Huh…?”
However, I couldn’t feel the slightest sign of presence, let alone a wave of magic power.
Where did he suddenly hide?
The moment Sergei was puzzled-
From noble mtl dot com.
“Kyaaah!”
“·······!”
A faint scream was heard in the distance.
“Head Professor! You’ve been tricked! They’ve already moved!”
-Ah······!
The dormitory building is where the screams came from.
There were hardly any classes at this time today, so the dormitory must have had the most students.
What if an explosion powerful enough to break the barrier of demons occurred in the dormitory at a time like this?
Everyone will die.
Everyone without exception.
“Keuugh…!”
Sergei, in a hurry, staggered, then gave his leg a jolt and bounced off again.
I couldn’t let such a catastrophe happen.
I didn’t want to repeat the nightmare in Wist Forest.
Still, no one was killed thanks to Schluss’ amazing handling at that time.
But Schluss was already dead.
It was said that the professors should completely block each other.
In the first place, it was hard to think of relying on students in such a terrorist incident, but…
“Ah! I’m late!”
Sergei was already running beyond his sprint, causing his muscles to swell and burst, but he soon sensed his doom.
I’m sure you won’t make it on time.
If Schluss came back alive at a time like this…
Sergey shook his head, saying that of course this was a futile hope-
“Twelve intruders. Drop to the ground and surrender right now or I will shoot you.”
“·······!”
I heard a low voice from afar and opened my eyes wide.
I could hear the voices of the dead.
At that moment, I saw a vicious blue light emanating from far away and moving like a shotgun.
With the restrained movement, there were bloodstains all over the place.
“Khehehehe…!”
The three behemoths, who had approached the dormitory building, turned and started running towards the Schluses.
They radiated intense waves of explosive magic from the inside of their bodies.
But the moment Schluss snapped his fingers-
Pervert!
The magic arrow split into three branches and pierced each of their hearts.
The heart exploded and at the same time destroyed the internal circuit.
The biological bomb was safely destroyed.
“Heo-eok············.”
Arriving at the scene, Sergei looked around with bated breath.
Eight corpses died gruesomely due to disintegration of limbs.
And there were three corpses whose hearts were pierced.
“Ah, Professor. Are you here? It was a moment of fear, but you are very reassuring.”
“Ha·······.”
And now, there is one guy who is shivering with the back of his neck held by Schluss’ hand…
The situation was over.
Sergey sighed in amazement at the relaxed and composed figure of Schluss.
Then, suddenly, the hooded guy opened his mouth.
“Schluss! Put something in his mouth!”
“Yes?”
“Ugh uh uh uh uh! Uh geuk geuk!”
“Ah…”
The sound of chewing something was heard, and then the creature began to tremble.
And then, in less than three seconds, he stretched out his body.
After checking the guy’s pulse, Schluse shook his head with a firm expression.

[Complete Quest]
[You will receive 10 shop coins as a reward.]
I could have been in big trouble if I was a little late.
The madmen who had edited the internal circuits were able to track it down easily thanks to the huge waves of mana emitting.
Of course, even that would have been difficult to detect if you didn’t have as high mana sensitivity as I do.
Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to figure out that they were heading towards the dormitory while pretending to attack East Dong.
So I decided to run ahead and set up an ambush.
When I tried to use magic, I was destroyed by the supporters from the rear, and when I approached and cut it with a sword, the self-destruct attack was a problem.
So I waited until those who planted the self-destruct spell were separated from those who didn’t, then I raided the rear and cut down all 9 people.
After interpreting the spell, I killed all the people who were going to destroy it, so there was nothing that could stop my magic anymore.
The situation ended only after I pierced the hearts of those who belatedly approached me and tried to self-destruct.
It was prevented at an early stage, but it could not prevent the number of victims as there was an explosion.
From what I’ve heard, all 5 guards guarding the main gate died.
And now I…
“Chulus. Help me. These are the corpses you dismembered. Don’t you know which one is which arm and which leg?”
“How can I…”
He was helping with the field work.
As I was about to slip away, Sergei and Ludwig came and grabbed me.
Magic Exhaustion I’m tired and dying.
“Yes······· Judging from the cross-section, this is probably his leg.”
Even then, seeing Sergei’s blue-stained legs made me want to rest.
The veins had burst and he was running around until he was bruised.
Should I suffer a little more?
“Schlus Heinkel. Come over here. Let’s take a break.”
“·······.”
Then Ludwig raised a pipe and waved at me.
At first glance, it seemed like they were asking me to smoke cigarettes, but something was strange.
“Ah… I need to go to the bathroom!”
At that time, Sergei awkwardly scratched his head and fell out.
It was only then that I noticed Ludwig’s intentions and naturally followed him.
Quiet smoking area.
When Ludwig, Sergei, and I gathered there, Ludwig lit a pipe.
“Schlus Heinkel. To what extent are you aware of this incident?”
“I don’t understand the intent of your question.”
“Let me ask you more directly. Do you understand the principle of the self-destruct technique?”
“·······.”
Both Ludwig and Sergei were looking at me with serious expressions.
You may pretend not to know, but here it was a handshake.
I deliberately avoided the eyes of the people in the investigation department and brought me here.
It must be that the professor is thinking of talking to the students that he shouldn’t.
It would be a wise choice to join that discourse.
It’s a great opportunity to align with the high-ranking officials of Imperial University.
“Yes. I understand that the internal circuit was edited and the shape was made in the same form as the magic formula. I tried breaking it, but I noticed that the waves were coming from inside the body…”
“I see. You’re quite quick-witted, heh heh. Then I have a request for you, Mr. Schluss.”
“What is that?”
“If anyone asks about this case, answer that you don’t know. I don’t care who asks. Even if it’s the Emperor or His Highness, you are not involved in this case. Could you please do that?”
“·······.”
Sergei and Ludwig’s eyes grew colder.
It was a warning or threat rather than a request.
There’s nothing you can do about it.
“I will refuse.”
I gave an immediate answer.
