090. Aren kidnapping case (1)
Originally, I was scheduled to return to the academy the day before the start of the semester without any special plans.
why is there such a thing An ordinary life.
Like everyone else, I unpacked my things the day before, grumbled because the class was starting, and was excited to see my friend again after a long time… … .
I decided to do a cosplay of an ordinary person like that. I wasn’t even allowed that. Damn.
In the end, I returned to the academy three days early with Sianna.
It’s okay, Siana followed with the excuse that she wanted to see the animals and plants quickly.
It was a choice that I couldn’t help because I felt sorry for leaving only Siana at the mansion.
After roughly unpacking my belongings in my newly assigned dormitory room, I headed straight to the vice-principal’s office.
The road to the vice principal’s office was quite complicated.
For some reason, it was because the guys who looked like priests were waiting in front of the vice principal’s room.
Seeing as they were formal priests and not priests, it seemed that ‘Bell’, a candidate for sainthood, was talking with the vice principal.
‘Not the principal’s office, but the vice-principal’s office?’
A sudden thought made me guess that Pompey was not currently in the academy.
Is it as expected as well?
I think I understand why Ains urgently called me.
I didn’t know when the conversation with Bell would end, and I didn’t want to wait idle, so I decided to knock first.
The moment I passed by the priests mumbling as if praying and was about to knock on the communal room door, I was shocked! The door was violently opened.
“uh?”
Her gaze overlapped with pastel-toned light purple eyes.
Bell Irushi.
It was a girl who had just become a candidate for sainthood and was going through a hectic day.
As soon as she saw me, she must have recognized my face, so she closed the door and opened her eyes wide. He seemed to be saying something with his eyes.
“Eh?”
“… … .”
I keep my mouth shut, wondering what to say
“excuse me. You know me!?”
It is to say something that does not deviate from expectations in the slightest.
As you know, I’ve seen it countless times in games, and not too long ago, I was embarrassed because of this kid.
A bad relationship with the main character from the start… … Absolutely not a good sign.
I really need to raise the luck stat, but it’s to the point where I’m worried. In fact, I am a walking variable magnet.
Everywhere I go, variables stick to me and I’m going to go crazy.
Anyway, while I’m at the academy, the course of action doesn’t change.
I’m not good at Siana or Cain now, but I plan to absolutely avoid the relationship and Ackerman that will arise in the future.
“I know. See you again.”
I replied languidly and tried to pass her.
“Were you an academy cadet?”
A tone that touches the back of the head. This is the bell I always hold on to wherever I go.
If you ignore it, it is obvious that you will feel worse and harass them. Besides, now that I know I’m an academy cadet… … This girl will persistently bother me if she wants to.
Let’s deal with it properly and let it go.
Looking back to answer, wasn’t Bell raising the corner of his mouth in a bewildering way?
What are you thinking that makes you smile like that? I’m anxious anyway
“Yes.”
“Hmm~”
Bell crossed her arms and pondered something.
I just said that it was annoying and that I should get rid of it, but a saintess is definitely a saint.
Looking at me with that beauty and such an incomprehensible smile, it feels like my guard is relaxed. But, let’s calm down. The opponent is a saint with no faith.
You must not think of a benevolent image of a saintess.
So, after pondering for a while, Bell spat out the words.
“What is your name?”
Being conscious of the gazes of the priests around me, I asked my name as politely as possible.
“This is Aren.”
“Oh, castle.”
“Candidate Saint? It is time to stop.”
Belle seemed to have something more to ask of me, but a priest held her back.
“… … I know.”
Bell closed her lips as if swallowing empty breath. She glanced at me for a second, then wrinkled her eyes. It’s a face that looks like it’s up to something.
ha… … .
“Looks like you’re both busy, so let’s talk later, we.”
However, at the urging of the priest, he left only these words and quickly turned around.
sick boy.
If they ask for medical expenses, give them a moderate amount, and don’t deal with them.

“I am sorry to call you this. Aren Blackfire.”
“no.”
“Principal Pompey is on his way to have the orb, which he improved during vacation, verified by the royal family.”
“Yes.”
She was trying to persuade me before Pompey’s return.
I never thought I would be able to face the sympathy before the beginning of the semester. It’s something I don’t really like.
Eins Neromeri.
What this woman told me was that the vote to impeach Pompey had been set for tomorrow.
“You won’t have to drag it out too long. Pompey says he’ll arrive tomorrow morning, so we’ll proceed right away at lunchtime.”
“… … Is that so.”
The highlight part of the third act was pulled because of the variable that was created by me. The timing is much sooner than expected.
Originally, it would have happened right before the final exam.
The greed of Eins and the board of directors must have also played a role. Still, it would have been nice to bring Pompey down quickly while he was frantic.
speedy conclusion.
They were going to kick him out of the academy before this semester even started.
I expected it, but it wasn’t good news either. Because it was proof that we were straying too far from the flow of the story.
The fact that the merit of my future knowledge disappears means that anxiety grows and things that are difficult to cope with continue to happen.
Eins put down the teacup and looked at me with cool eyes.
exactly… … He was much more venomous than before the vacation.
“Did you know that the frequency of monsters appearing all over the kingdom has recently increased?”
“I know.”
According to the occasional news, organized monster raids have become frequent in the border area, and strange things have increased, such as discovering dungeons in deep mountains and caves.
Naturally.
Although it was very brief, Regalug escaped from the sealing sword and showed off his influence, and the followers who reacted to him woke up from a long hibernation.
Like the king of destruction, his followers were also the most violent of the three demons.
So, without waiting for the right time, I hit the bow like that.
Moreover, now that Regalug has disappeared somewhere, the anger of the followers will pierce the sky.
The story of ＜Warriors Kingdom＞ gets darker as time goes by.
The fresh and bright atmosphere comes to an end during the first year. After that, a gloomy atmosphere continues against the approaching darkness.
If it weren’t for the cute and gorgeous heroines, I would have stopped playing the game right away.
“The monsters that have been rapidly increasing recently… … It’s not a coincidence.”
If you think about it a little, you can see that this is not an issue to be taken lightly.
Eins realized the seriousness of the situation earlier than others and began to prepare.
“The original purpose of the academy is to train a combat group for cannabis. The cadets must be familiar with it, right?”
every know It’s a peaceful time, so it’s being used for maintaining power by gathering nobles and talented cadets.
In the first place, academy cadets are no different from living combat weapons.
Eins wants to return the cadets to their original purpose.
A monster that slaughter monsters.
I nodded at Eins’ question, and Eins smiled contentedly.
“Thank you for your understanding. As expected, there is something in common with Cadet Aren.”
Such an illusion is a bit difficult.
“Back to the point. There is only one thing I want.”
eyes like steel The reason she called me was to quickly win me over to her side.
She is a pupil with ambition and her own firm philosophy. He wasn’t the type to change his mind just because someone persuaded him.
It is the look in his eyes that he will definitely get what he wants no matter what.
… … It feels like the intensity of the desire for the principal’s job has become stronger than I’ve seen in the game.
Eins snapped his fingers, and something spun out of thin air! appeared.
“I hope you will testify against him at the impeachment vote in a day.”
.

In fact, it is an issue that requires further consideration.
If the highlight of the third act is pulled to the beginning of the semester, all the middle steps are omitted.
This means that you may skip episodes that could affect the story later, as well as Ackerman’s growth and acquisition of necessary items.
Of course, there was no episode that was ‘must’ pass by. The main content of Act 3 is to calmly go through the second year curriculum and grow.
It can also be seen as an opportunity to grow rapidly before full-fledged confusion comes from the fourth act, the second semester of the second year.
In other words, even if the principal was replaced at the beginning of the semester, it didn’t seem like it would be a big problem since everything went smoothly after that.
What I’m worried about is the omission of the process right before the third act highlight.
Whoever Ackerman chooses, the other is bound to go berserk.
If you side with Pompey, Eins will use a radical move to destroy the Orb.
If you side with Eins, Pompeius activates the orb to show off its power, putting the academy in danger.
The defeated side will not be able to set foot in the academy anymore.
If I testify right away tomorrow, the situation will end before they go crazy.
So what about the losing side?
I thought about it while spinning my head, but I couldn’t come up with an answer. Because I don’t know unless I experience it.
This is why I was constantly wary of the story going wrong. Because it is completely unpredictable.
However, I had to go through the highlights, so my answer was ‘yes’ in the end.
It is an unavoidable fate.

“Are you really going to do it?”
“I don’t have a choice.”
Fonte asked. Ackerman, who was quietly sharpening his knife while sitting on a rock, answered seriously.
Ackerman, who suffers from troublesome problems, always sharpens his knife with an expressionless expression. It is a habit to always prepare for battle.
They were friends who knew his habits well, so they took this situation seriously.
“no! What do you say when you suddenly appear after being stuck in the Duke’s castle all vacation and not contacting me? Let’s kidnap Aren!?”
does that make sense?
No matter how, a cadet kidnaps a cadet. That’s scary! The cowardly Hoya was horrified by Ackerman’s crazy proposal.
“It’s just holding on for a day. not testify. I don’t mean to do anything bad.”
“If kidnapping isn’t bad, what is?”
“Is that so?”
Hoya replied with a straight face at Ackerman’s shamelessness. Ackerman says it’s more important than that, and he just says he can’t help it.
“No, can I really trust you!?”
Hoya asked again.
The plan to kidnap Aren was absurd, but even more absurd was the impeachment of Principal Pompey.
During the vacation, the impeachment was already being prepared, and it was news that a decision would be made through the impeachment meeting tomorrow.
Usually, Ackerman and his friends have built up a lot of friendship with Pompey by breaking various quests.
Since the arm tends to bend inward, they naturally leaned toward Pompeius. It is impossible to just leave it alone.
More than anything-
“yes. I clearly heard the Duke of Trello talking. Vice Principal Eins said he was thinking of training the cadets as weapons of war. It is his educational policy.”
Talks were already circulating quickly among the aristocratic families. About the direction of the Royal Academy. And about who will lead the academy better.
Opinions were also divided in the social world.
There were parents who did not like their children being treated as weapons of war, and there were also those who wanted to raise the family’s honor by defeating monsters.
However, monster raids have recently become more frequent, and due to the two demon revival incidents, the atmosphere was slightly leaning towards Eins.
As the situation is the situation, the time has come to grow strength again.
“It has to be stopped.”
Of course, Ackerman was the opposite.
It was unacceptable to see the cadets not as people, but as weapons of war. for whatever reason.
Although the original purpose of the Warriors was to train combatants for cannabis, there is such a thing as ‘good’.
However, what Eins planned was absolutely unacceptable. If I really did, I would have to live like a machine without moving.
“Certainly, I wouldn’t call it good news.”
Fonte began to sympathize with Ackerman’s words. Hoya also thought the same. I wanted to quietly graduate from the academy and live as a wandering mercenary… … . The impeachment of Pompey is news like a thunderbolt.
The tough academy life flickered before my eyes.
swish swish! However, Hoya shook his head.
“But it’s not kidnapping, is it?” … ?”
“I have to convince you first.”
“What if?”
“I will make it happen.”
Ackerman sometimes behaves like that with unanswerable stubbornness. Of course, that stubbornness has never been wrong, but it is true that every time I hear it, there is no answer and my breath stops.
It takes a long time and patience to understand Ackerman’s stubbornness.
What is the reason for that baseless stubbornness?
Hoya grumbled and was anxious.
“Anything else can. But we have to stop it from happening so suddenly.”
Principal Pompey is giving us a little more time to get ready. After thinking for a while, Ackerman added.
“Just postpone the impeachment meeting a little bit.”
“Is it difficult to vote without key witnesses?”
“Is not it. Since Cain’s family threatened him that he would no longer be involved… … .”
“I guess the only thing left is Aren.”
During the vacation, Ackerman learned a lot from interacting with Princess Elise.
It was difficult for Duke Trello to agree with Eins’ education policy, as his precious daughter, Elise, suddenly entered the academy.
So, I spilled the story to Ackerman.
Ackerman was voluntarily stepping out to stop Eins as he intended.
We roughly agreed.
Even if it’s a somewhat unreasonable plan, somehow convince Aren not to testify!
If that doesn’t work, let’s take a little bit of time by kidnapping them.
As the conversation progressed, a forgotten issue came to mind.
“… … Cain, what do you think?”
It was because of Cain, who had kept his mouth shut for a while and exuded a cold aura.
Bad move bro
