I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist chapter 164

164. Untier(1)

A lot has changed since the suicide bombing of Imperial University.

The Day of Magic terror incident, of course, had a great impact, but it did not become a big issue as it ended in an attempt, but this incident was of a different level of severity as it was an incident that struck the heart of the empire.

Once all personnel entering and exiting the Imperial University were tracked.

For what reason did you go out or come in, through which path did you visit and where did you come back or did you go out?

Security has been strengthened to such an extent that noble students strongly oppose it.

Thanks to that, Emilia was completely cut off from the Intelligence Agency.

The Imperial Police and the Investigation Department are wiretapping even the communications, so if suspicious communications magic is performed in the mansion, you will be immediately suspected.

Of course, I was neither intercepted nor tracked.

Because I joined the investigation team only for this case.

“Reporters will come rushing in. Then don’t keep your mouth shut, say it’s confidential and dismiss them all. If they stick around though, threaten them saying they’re interfering with the execution of official duties by the Imperial University Investigation Department.”

“What if I still catch up?”

“At that time, you can subdue them by force and hand them over to the Imperial Police. Don’t kill them.”

“·······.”

It was a measure taken by Sergei out of fear that I, a mediocre student, would open my mouth.

Of course, I can’t open my mouth easily, but reporters are usually persistent.

Those who want to get information even by using illegal methods, I’m a student who is easy going.

At that time, he was incorporated into the investigation department, which had power comparable to that of the imperial police, so that reporters could be easily defeated.

Thanks to that, I was able to enter and leave the Imperial University freely while all the other students were being pursued.

Since Emilia was isolated from the outside of the Imperial University, there was a place to drop by.

“It must have been here.”

Old Town of the Islands.

After reaching the slums on the outskirts, I stepped towards the end of the alley.

Of course, fearing that his identity would be identified, he took off his school uniform and disguised himself in shabby clothes.

‘These days, the flow of the original work is rapidly changing.’

I never expected fanatics to attack the Imperial University.

The suicide bombing is even worse.

Because it wasn’t even a story in the original.

The reason the prediction failed was simple.

It was because I was too dark about the circumstances behind this world.

Of course, he was much brighter than the average person, but he was nothing compared to the locals.

While I was controlling the flow in the sun, the butterfly effect grew bigger and bigger in the back world that I didn’t know, and it was about to be revealed in the sun.

It’s a bit late, but I had to control the shadows.

Of course, complete control is impossible.

Even the imperial family gave up.

You just need to spread your feet wide enough to anticipate the future to some extent.

For that purpose, there were about three people I could contact.

I was on my way to find one of them, the Heart Locker.

Smartly······

“Who are you?”

“It’s me.”

“·······.”

There was silence on the other side of the door.

I felt something strong.

Boom!

“Damn it.”

When I opened the door, a narrow room appeared.

The windows were wide open and tattered curtains fluttered.

It’s already splashed.

“Haa…”

I sighed and prepared the ceremony.

A flame-based spell.

It had enough firepower to completely burn down the room.

At that moment, something flew through the window with a popping sound.

“Wait a minute. I will respond to the conversation.”

“·······.”

He was a Hurt Locker.

The guy couldn’t beat the speed and said it in a hurry with his head banged against the wall.

You were in a hurry.

Did you hide any property in this room?

That wasn’t my business.

“Why did you bounce?”

“You… You’re suspicious of us right now. That’s not us. Of course, there’s no criminal in the world who says we’re right, but we’re not really. Would you have done?”

“Who said it was you? You stabbed yourself…”

“What? Weren’t you suspicious of us?”

“No. You stupid bastard.”

“·······.”

I glared at the heart locker with a disapproving expression.

If this bastard runs right now, what are the odds of winning?

Judging from the flying speed earlier, it was considerably faster than before.

If I use ‘Selection and Concentration’ on Agility, I can barely overwhelm them.

There was little chance of winning.

If Hurtlocker puts his mind to it, I will always be dead.

That means I’m not the hukou heartlocker that I played with in the sewer.

There was only one reason why he couldn’t hit me.

“How is Emilia these days?”

Because they’re holding Emilia hostage.

I don’t know about Emilia herself, but she’s supposed to have an explosion spell planted in her heart.

Of course, it was a tightrope walk.

The moment this lie is exposed, I will be torn to pieces by that monster.

I still had to make the most of it while still staying off the line.

“I’m doing well. But why don’t you ask me directly?”

“That’s because there’s no way to meet Emilia right now. The Imperial University’s security is too tight these days.”

“You are well aware of the events that led to this situation.”

“Not as much as you, but to some extent…”

“An additional request, Hurt Locker. Follow them.”

“Huh? You have to know what they’re doing. You’re asking me to find out about that first? Don’t be ridiculous, Schluse Heinkel. How can the Secret Service do something that the Imperial Police can’t catch-“

“Let’s hand over some of their roster.”

“·······!”

I threw the paper on the floor.

It was a list of some of the people who belonged to that insane cult.

I didn’t have to worry about making a mistake because I only picked the ones that were certain.

“They worship the demons. This list is their followers.”

“No… If you know this, shouldn’t you start investigating right away?”

“It’s not that easy. What they all have in common is that they are not members of the order. The moment you touch them, the order will cut off their tails and hide in a darker place.”

“Then look at me now-“

“Yes. Quietly infiltrate the Church and retrieve information.”

“·······.”

Hurlocker’s expression crumpled.

It was practically the same as asking me to become a double agent.

But he will have to do it.

Emilia is in my grasp.

Besides, since I couldn’t contact Emilia for the time being, there was no fear of finding out the truth of her heart explosion technique.

“Hold your face. I stopped the investigation department from accusing the intelligence service of being the main culprit and trying to stop you at this point.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you think it was strange? Didn’t you feel that counterintelligence was so lax?”

“·······.”

“Think carefully about who you owe it to. You can decide who to bite off after that.”

“Schlus Heinkel·······. What kind of plan are you up to?”

Hurlocker gnashed his teeth and asked.

What kind of plan is this?

From noble mtl dot com.

How can you ask such an obvious question?

I had no choice but to answer honestly.

Hurt Locker is just as good at reading her expression as Emilia, so if she lies, she’ll get caught.

“For the peace of the continent.”

“What…”

Hurlocker’s expression became strange.

.

.

.

‘For the peace of the continent?’

Hurlocker snorted.

Examining Schluse’s face, he did not show any signs of lying.

Are you good at lying?

If that’s not the case, then you’re saying those words from the bottom of your heart.

‘Isn’t he just crazy…?’

Hurlocker realized that he had misunderstood Schluss Heinkel until now.

He wasn’t someone who belonged somewhere else and worked behind the scenes.

He was an idiot who believed that he was really working for world peace.

It was only then that I began to understand that he had never been greedy for fame or fortune.

He couldn’t find such a mundane thing attractive to a madman who believed that he was justice.

“Then what are you… Doing for peace on the continent?”

“We are working hard to subdue the darkness that threatens peace.”

The moment Schluse’s empty eyes turned towards him, Heart Locker gulped down his saliva.

Looking back, he looked like a madman from the start.

“I’ll tell you specifically. The Darkness is that cult.”

Schluss pulled out a chair and sat with his legs crossed.

Then he looked at each book on the desk and said something absurd.

A church that has only gone mad at best is called the Darkness?

It couldn’t have been.

No matter how tightly wrapped in a veil, the Imperial Police and Investigation Department would inevitably find them and completely exterminate them.

It was difficult to think that the empire and this continent would perish because of one fanaticism.

“They will gradually increase their power and eventually overturn the entire continent. This is not the time for empires and kingdoms to fight. Heart Locker, you have a big role in making them realize that. Don’t point the empire’s blade at the kingdom. Now you know what to do to make it?”

“Are you telling me to be loyal to you?”

“Loyalty belongs only to your king, you bastard. All you have to do is do your best. You and I will save the continent. Do you understand?”

“·······.”

‘It’s like a crazy psychopath.’

Hurlocker felt pure fear for the first time in a while.

***

“Don’t move. I warned you.”

Kung······

I closed the door and left the Hurt Locker’s house.

There was something strange about Hurt Locker today.

I have to say he seems to be freaking out about something.

Have you finally reached the point where you feel fear just by looking at my face after being beaten by me several times?

Then I was very grateful.

In addition, today I gave Hurt Locker information about the Church.

Even if you look at it like that, since he is basically a guy with a strong sense of justice, he would have believed me a little more if I told him that he was doing something for peace on the continent.

Of course, I didn’t even say that the Mine were behind it.

If I had even said that humans and demons were at war, they would have looked at me like a crazy psychopath.

And I got the information about Marie that I had requested from Hurt Locker before.

It was only a simple personal information, but I was able to find the name of Marie’s son in it.

Phalungse Ale.

That was his name.

Now that you’ve got a name, it’s going to be a little easier to find.

I thought I should entrust the investigation to a serviceman.

“Hmm?”

At that time, a communication magic signal flowed in.

This must be the frequency used by the investigation department.

I immediately attempted to intercept the password by cracking it.

– Request support. An emergency occurs at Imperial University. A risk level 3 is issued. He also orders the return of Professor Sergei von Freust.

Three risk levels?

It was the highest level, at which the lives of Imperial University students were at stake.

If that’s the case…

[Quest: Defeat Untier.]

‘Damn it.’

I immediately started running towards the Imperial University.
