074. I want to rest (3)
The price of touching the mother black dragon that was hatching the eggs was very high.
“… … Shouldn’t we settle the situation before it escalates?”
To the extent that the directors were sweating, Delina Blackfire showed a terrifying appearance.
-How did you manage the academy, so the cadets are attacked by monsters inside the academy?
– Did this happen in the first semester?
-If such an unpleasant incident happened once, you should have behaved properly. Nothing has changed.
– Why does the board exist?
– You seem to be keeping this a secret right now, right? I will not stand still. I’ll tell the whole world.
– I heard that Abella’s child was also injured. can you afford it?
– My child, still hasn’t opened his eyes.
-Give me time? Are you kidding me right now?
Again and again.
She chews on the nonsense of the directors one by one and exhales her breath.
There was a commotion, and it was only after calming her down that I could add an explanation that I would deal with it as quickly as possible.
“Whoa. It’s a big deal to bring in the black fire that has been quiet for 100 years.”
“Anyway, the family must still have power. It’s not easy. Tsuttsut.”
“If we let it go, it would spark fire on us too.”
“What should I do?”
Silence hung over for a moment.
It was not a matter to be easily overlooked, and it was not a story to be easily put into the mouth.
But if you’re weighing the future, it’s time to make a decision.
“Shouldn’t we fire the principal and overhaul the entire academy? It won’t be like this.”
All the board members agreed with that statement.
innovation. According to the board of directors, what the Warriors need now is to break the mold of the old generation and move forward anew.
Even if it’s just a formal look.
“Then, after all, it would be better to leave it to Vice Principal Eins, right?”
“Anyway.”
“He is the right person.”
* * *
“I understand that it is still difficult to think properly. Aren cadet. But this is a very important matter, so I came here directly. The future of the academy is at stake.”
Her hair, neatly tied up, stands out. The will to not worry about useless things stands out. She is a typical workaholic.
Eins Neromeri.
A talented person who has risen to the position of sympathizer from the magic world. However, the unfortunate genius who always had to play the role of a second person due to the genius of Pompeius… … .
In particular, she felt the wall made by Pompeius. Her thesis, ‘Relationship between the sixth element and dragon heart’, was a huge hit in the magic academy, but all the glory and attention was taken away by the ‘Orb’ that appeared in the same year.
The orb was a perfect object even for wizards.
Although she was pushed by Pompey, Eins loved the academy and was proud of it.
So, he rose to the position of vice principal and has been working for the academy in silence. The academy has been constantly evolving thanks to her efforts.
The problem is the two monster attacks that took place this year.
Due to this, the performance of the perfect orb was questioned, and the position of Pompeius was shaken, and it was said that the free operation policy of Pompeius was rather harmful.
Pompey is an old relic.
We need a new academy, a new head.
Eins was the person who naturally came to mind because of these circumstances.
“Make Academy Stronger Again”
The Warriors are weak. The monster is born. We must prepare for the great war to come. We need to train strong cadets. All kinds of goals came to mind.
At this opportunity, he brings Pompey down and becomes the principal. I will make the academy strong again. The desire he had been hiding, Ains no longer hid.
To Eins, the existence of me was no different than a winning card that would surely bring Pompey down.
If it is revealed that the cadet was attacked by monsters inside the academy and fell into this situation, Pompey must be held responsible.
Of course, since Zeros also disappeared, the situation will turn even more unfavorable to Pompey.
After all the calculations were finished, Eins deliberately approached me.
With a signed document requesting consent to bring down Pompey.
“All you have to do is sign the paper. Aren cadet. Of course, I’m not asking you to sign it right away. What happened to you, what did the principal do, how complacently did you deal with it… … . I want you to think of the same thing.”
Vice Principal Eins is calm but clearly appealing. Pompey is a rotten rope, follow him.
The feeling of holding onto Pompey’s leash unintentionally was very strange.
Because my signature document was a weapon that would deliver a decisive blow to the impeachment of Pompey.
“… … I’m done talking about this. How is your body, Cadet Aren?”
Eins skillfully gets away from the main topic and worries about me. It’s all calculated words and actions to score points for me.
At the end of autumn, the wind of academy reform blows.
Eins quickly gains support for his long-dreamed ambition and plots to topple Pompey. Among them, the most powerful card is me. The biggest victim of a monster attack. A word from me can shake the royal family, the cadets, and the parents of the cadets.
As I went crazy with this thought, I felt sorry for Pompey again.
Because he had a lot to say.
Deianne was responsible for the Orb’s operation problem, and this semester, she was mostly ignoring the situation because of Zeros. However, since Zeroth disappeared, I took full responsibility… … .
For one reason or another, the supporters of Pompey, who bought sympathy, are also formidable.
The flow of the first semester of the second year flows in the composition of Pompeius vs Eins.
Of course, the winner is determined by Ackerman’s choice in the game story, and the future academy moves are divided.
If Pompey wins, he will take the current atmosphere of freedom as it is, but will slowly change the academy by explaining all the unfair things he has done to the royal family.
If Eins wins, the academy will change into a slightly stiff and suffocating atmosphere.
Who is better, there are only individual differences.
This event is just the difference between facing Diamon and Regalug in the future.
I jumped on the trend and dreamed of a leisurely academy life for the first semester of my sophomore year, but somehow I was put in a situation where I chose the future of the academy instead of Ackerman.
sh*t.
“Cadet Aren?”
After thinking about it for a long time, I forgot to answer.
“ah. it’s okay.”
“Looks like you’re still in good shape. I was too hasty. stop getting up Think about what I said slowly, and if you have any questions, feel free to come to me.”
Eins said only the necessary words and then disappeared.
After a while, Cain, who was outside, also accepted the signature form and entered the hospital room.
“What do we do?”
“Well. You do whatever you want.”
“but.”
Cain, now a little more active, quickly agreed and read the signature.
I also saw the signature. It was full of negative things about Pompey. If you read carefully, there is not a single word wrong.
Pinch the current academy for overall system problems, and definitely reprimand it.
Eins is also a person armed with his own philosophy and firm convictions.
It is said that he only looks like a villain because he is at the opposite end of Pompeius, but he is not an absolute evil like Deiane or Zeros.
“Whoa… … .”
My head hurts.
Even while I was lying down, the third act was progressing in synab.
Still, in the first semester of the second year, there is no storyline that must be followed, so you will be able to take a breather.
‘I just need to solve the Siana problem.’
I remembered what to do slowly.
He told Hilda to return the holy sword with the contact bead, and Lorena contacted her saying that she would go see her after being discharged from the hospital.
All that remains is to hear the Church’s answer from Viktor and when Pompey returns, confide in him the true story behind the disappearance of Zeros.
I also need to figure out exactly what the number of Diamon connections on the status window is.
Other than that, the promise of going to eat Warriors Pizza with Sianna and Cain?
I had a lot of work to do… … .
Right now I just want to rest. It is because the body is very worn out.
The final exams are over, and there is only about a week left in the semester, so I should focus on recovering slowly.

Igrid’s receding back view.
Dana wanted to bury himself in his broad back. I wanted to beg you not to go.
However, it can’t be. Because Igrid has a mission to save mankind… … If you hug him here, if that happens… … .
Ahh.
Dana ran.
salvation of mankind.
love.
In front of these two crossroads, she made a selfish choice for the first time in her life.
–!
Wow, Dana wraps around Igrid’s waist and buries her face in his back. Igrid turned around without a second’s hesitation, kissing her cherry lips… … .
.
.
.
.
.
‘Well, this is this… … !’
Cain was startled by the manly sentence and closed the romance novel.
The title is 『Igrid and Dana, Destiny and Love』. It is a book borrowed from the library by Cain, who remembered what Ponte was reading one day.
To Cain, who always had to grow as a knight, romance novels were like forbidden books. But not anymore. Read what you want to read, and eat the dessert you want to eat!
Rebellion is rebellion, and spiritual growth is growth. Cain enjoyed happiness he had never felt in the slightest deviation.
Of course, reading romance is only when Aren is soundly asleep, like now.
When Aren opened his eyes, he was too shy to read the novel.
That would be too… … .
At first, I was worried because Aren was struggling with near death after undergoing surgery. There was no room to think of anything else. First of all, it was important that Aren was alive.
After Aren woke up safely, I felt relieved, and other thoughts came to my mind.
In particular, Cain’s dark history came to mind.
Crying in Aren’s arms, giving her a lap pillow like a lover would do for an hour, embarrassing conversations about thank you and how to repay the favor… … .
For Cain, who had never brought even ‘reason’ into the boundaries of cognition, those things were enough to make her face red.
The joy that Aren woke up safely is short-lived, but after the memory of that day came to mind, Cain couldn’t look straight at Aren’s face for more than two seconds. My heart raced when I saw Aren, and I didn’t know what to do because those memories came to mind.
‘Why did you do that then, ha… … .’
As much as possible, pretend not to. Although he is ticklish, he is disturbed these days as he is attacked defenselessly by Aren’s dry smile that he occasionally sees.
“Whew… … .”
Whether or not he knows Cain’s complex mind, Aren is in the land of dreams.
Perhaps because of the deep wounds, Aren spent a lot of time sleeping.
I spent half of the day sleeping, and when I was awake, I would look out the window alone and think.
During treatment hours, he quietly receives treatment, and when Professor Julius comes, he silently joins in his prayers. It’s a ritual to heal mental pollution.
Thanks to that, Aren’s recovery went smoothly. The terrible torn wounds and the scars on his left arm have healed a lot, so that daily life is possible.
‘That clear water looks really good.’
Cain is also recovering by drinking the holy water every day. Even though it was okay, I couldn’t help it because Aren forced me to feed it.
It’s a trivial daily life.
A relaxed daily life that is different from the suffocating daily life of practicing every day.
This is the reason why he is still stuck in the hospital room even though his left arm has already healed and he has been given permission to leave the hospital.
I want to be with Aren a little longer.
now that was good
The biggest reason of all is-
Drooling!
“Aren! Aren! I’m here!”
It was because of that terribly cute and lovely girl who came to visit me every day.
“Aren fell asleep. Lower your voice, Siana.”
“yes? Was Cain there too? hi!”
Siana answered without hesitation. Then he strides in, sits next to Aren, and exchanges the flowers for new ones.
From the moment he himself began to feel the excitement from Aren, being wary of Siana’s existence was something that even Cain could not help.
Last morning, after seeing Sianna’s tears… … I had no choice but to care about Siana.
If such a pretty and cute child really likes you and takes care of you with utmost sincerity, you will have interest that you didn’t have before.
So, Cain clings to the side with the excuse of being sick. At least he should have known what Cyana was saying to Aren.
Cain is trying hard not to be pushed out of the gap between Aren and Sianna, and he is developing feelings again.
Cyanna usually brought a packed lunch or herbs to feed Aren without the nurse’s knowledge, but today something was different.
Aren opened his eyes at Cyana’s visit and asked.
“Siana… … ? You’re here. But what is it?”
“Yeah, this! Someone please tell me instead!”
As Cyana boasted, the item she presented to Aren was none other than the Purifier.
“Instead, you asked for it to be delivered?”
Aren fell into deep trouble for a moment.
Did Hilda and Cyana know each other? Even so, wouldn’t it be right to deliver the goods directly? Although Shiana is a trustworthy person… … .
“Yes. I ran into that senior on the way. I recognized it at a glance because it was Aren’s sword! I did well!”
“Good job. Thank you. By the way, Shiana, are you familiar with Hilda-senpai?”
“yes? no? Hey Aren. Aren is discharged tomorrow! Are you going to eat pitja tomorrow?”
Shiana answered my question gently, as if using tai chi. You came to receive the holy sword even though you didn’t know each other? The topic was so natural that I couldn’t even talk about it anymore.
What the hell happened between Hilda and Cyana?
“Pizza? oh yeah let’s eat Is Cain going too?”
In an instant, Siana and Cain’s gazes collided. It would have been a moment of less than a second.
However, at that moment, Aren had no way of noticing how many fights had come and gone.
Aren is just
“yes. I’ll go.”
“haha! I’m glad Cain is going too. It will be fun.”
I just heard good answers from both of them.
“Then, will you meet me in the afternoon after class?”
“yes.”
I have work to do in the morning.
It is because of the interview with Pompey.
It’s only a verbal interview, but in reality it will be a time to hear the truth about Zeroth’s whereabouts and the demon raid incident.
and another one.
It is also time for Pompey to convince him of a surefire card to fight against Eins, who is tightening his leash.
A student being wooed by the academy principal and vice principal.
This was a really funny thing going on.
* * *
When I went to the principal’s office the next day, the sealing sword, Acheron, was waiting for me.
To be precise, with Pompey and Gilliot holding the sealing sword between them.
“Cadet Aren. Don’t you have something to tell me about this sword?”
To point out again, the sealing sword is a damn dangerous item that makes me go crazy even after equipping the damn shadow hand.
By the way… … .
Why is the sealing sword here instead of stuck on the floor, and why do those two look fine?
-Nice to meet you, attendant.
What makes me even more crazy and jumping is that the sealing sword is calmly talking to me.
What is this all about!
