I Will Take a Break at Academy chapter 93

093. Aren kidnapping case (4)

Pop!

The long pipe broke at its waist. Eins, who usually doesn’t say anything harsh, was very aggressive.

Even the sweet cappuccino I usually enjoy didn’t go over today.

“Blackfire… … why.”

Eins chewed his lips. Instead of coffee, the taste of blood spread in my mouth.

It was the first time I was this angry since everything was taken away because of ‘Orb’.

Of course, being angry is a classy thing, Eins quickly calms down his breathing and gently closes his trembling eyes.

“Nothing has been confirmed yet.”

It was not certain that Aren had betrayed them, and the possibility that Pompey had used his hand could not be ruled out.

Dozens of variables ran through Eins’ head.

From the assistant principal’s room, you can see the whole view of the academy.

It’s spring soon. The frozen ground during the winter melts, and the animals that hibernate stretch.

It was a scene Eins always loved.

“I will protect it.”

Eins forges a relationship alone.

“How did I cultivate it?”

You can’t entrust the academy to Pompey, who is old and not smart anymore.

Even though he was attacked by demons twice, he did not take any concrete action.

When I was attacked for the first time, I needed to make a certain decision.

“But what? Is it because the orb didn’t work for a while?”

Eins managed to calm the resurging anger.

An old raccoon, an unsalted genius. A degenerate who believes only in Orbs and does not develop.

Eins smiled bitterly.

yes, ob.

That handsome orb.

If the orb was intact, it would certainly have easily prevented the attack of demons.

Pompey must have been unfair because the magician professor neutralized it from within.

“… … So.”

Eins asked back into the void.

Do you think that’s all there is to it? Pompeius?

I can not admit it. I didn’t even want to admit it. Even Eins is in awe of the orb’s ridiculous performance.

So, I hated this situation for giving Pompey time.

The old raccoon will take this opportunity to show off the performance of the orb again.

“… … Also.”

Is it right to remove it?

I don’t have the confidence to beat the Orb. It would be even more amazing if that genius was an orb that had been upgraded the moment he was in danger.

Eins’ eyes darkened coldly.

As the impeachment of Pompey was postponed, more reliable preparations were needed.

“Arren-kun, we need to meet again and talk… … .”

Worst case, you’ll have to plan to destroy the orb as well.

right!

Eins snapped his fingers, and the smoking pipe, which had been broken helplessly, reattached itself.

profit-

Light a fire and inhale the smoke deeply.

“Cigarette smoke, it looks like my worries.”

Warriors Academy is surrounded by lush mountains, forests and rivers.

A high mountain blocks the back of the dormitory to prevent the cadets from escaping, and there is a thick forest on the left and right of the academy, where various animals, plants, and monsters live together. In addition, a large river flows by the front gate, taking the form of a perfect Baesan Forest.

The campus itself is quite large, but the Warriors Academy boasts a huge size when including nature.

Basically, nature is also a place that academy cadets can enjoy, so when clearing side quests or hidden quests, I often go to the forest or back mountain.

There is a hut found along the way. At the beginning of the 2nd semester of the 1st year, Ackerman found it while farming items.

It was probably a secret hideout used by a senior jockey a long time ago. It’s not very deep, but it’s almost deserted, so Ackerman often uses it.

‘It’s a place I’ve only seen in games.’

Seeing it in person gave me a new feeling.

Of course, I never imagined that he would be kidnapped in the name of ‘persuasion’.

For now, I obediently followed the clumsy kidnapping drama with the intention of listening to Ackerman’s story.

Ackerman didn’t let go of his guard until I arrived, as if I was suspicious, following me surprisingly calmly.

If the gossip about me that Jade said had spread, it would have reached these guys as well.

In an instant, my image changed like a great darkness, and if the main character of the rumor said that he would follow me without any resistance, even I would be suspicious.

They are easy-going and friendly, but surprisingly, they are quite good at insight. Ackerman, Fonte, and Hoya were closely monitoring me.

Well, this time I was fooled by rumors and went wrong.

After arriving at the cabin, I temporarily lost my means of contact. Just in case you didn’t know, I just gave it to you.

After that, I had to listen to Ackerman and Fonte’s speech in silence.

Ackerman’s idea was simple and resolute. It was just repeating what was said.

‘We are people! Person!’

‘Aren’t you the same? Why are you meekly submitting?’

‘You’re fighting monsters to protect someone you care about. What’s the point of yielding to orders like a familiar?’

‘That’s not living.’

His main point was that “absolutely” cadets should never be treated as weapons of war.

It is a naive and idealistic story of a 21-year-old, contrary to the purpose of the academy’s establishment, but if the subject telling the story is the main character, the approaching weight is different.

Ackerman’s actions will eventually change the king’s mind.

The protagonist is such a being.

It turns the impossible into the possible and the irrational into the rational. The road to Ackerman is only about a minute.

You kidnapped me because you thought it was right.

Well, he didn’t seem to think about what Ains would do if he kidnapped me, the impeachment was postponed, or anything else.

things will work out.

“Anyway, it’s the standard route.”

Listening to Ackerman’s words, he was taking the most comfortable route right now.

Thoughts and actions were all beginner’s introductory routes. It’s not that it’s dark or has radical ideas, but it’s just a standard for boys’ manga.

I’m glad I’m on the path I want the most. I was worried that I might be having strange thoughts without knowing it.

“Zzz… … .”

How many hours to be in the cabin so calmly.

They were brought in in the morning and held until sunset, so they were held for quite a while.

To keep an eye on me, Hoya, who was locked up in the cabin with me, is sleeping, scratching her stomach.

He’s still a stupid guy.

‘by the way.’

It’s time to step out It’s because the time I promised with Shiana has arrived.

I sang like that at the mansion, saying that I want to eat the new Warriors Pitzza menu, but I can see how disappointed Sianna will be if it is late.

That was the moment I approached the door asking to let him out.

A cool voice came to me, ringing in my head.

-I’m here to save you.

“… … ?”

Doesn’t it ring in your head? To say that, the voice was clear in my ears.

‘Who is it?’

-I am the ghost of the shadow. At Argon’s command, I came to help Aren.

‘What?’

In the dark, a bat-like creature was staring at me with red eyes. I almost screamed in surprise.

If it were me in this world, I would have sat down and got tired of it. Still, it seems to be able to withstand fear well, perhaps because it is a ‘black fire’ body.

By the way, the limb of Diamon and the enemy of Ackerman told me to help me… … ?

Even that bat monster treated me with respect and respect. This is truly crazy. Are you treating me like a ‘boss’?

Whatever my intentions, I am now kidnapped by Ackerman. In his eyes, it must have looked like his boss was in a crisis situation.

-Do you remember what Argon said?

Of course I remember.

‘There will come a time when we will need His power. At that time, I will assume that you are willing to talk with me.’

These are the words Argon left for me at Hereith Castle.

I had no choice but to use the shadow hand. If I hadn’t written it, Cain and I would have died on the spot.

So I expected Argon to approach again someday.

However, I thought it would appear during vacation, but it didn’t appear for a while, and it appeared at this timing. The timing was really bad.

Could it be that I couldn’t approach my mansion because the power of the church was holding on to it? not. If so, they would have come in contact at least once when repairing the mage tower.

Were you looking for an opportunity?

The moment I can’t shake off Diamon’s power. In other words, it seems that I was waiting for a crisis to come.

like right now

First of all, I am in the position of being watched by Diamon. Still, considering the attitude of this guy who seemed to need me, there seemed to be no need to be hostile right away.

It’s time to walk the tightrope.

‘I remember it.’

-It will be easy to talk about. More than using authority. You have become a member of Diamon-sama’s household. Of course, according to his will, I came to watch Aren from the shadows.

something I didn’t want… … !

‘In the shadows?’

– Didn’t you feel the change after using the authority?

It was as if he was talking about unknown knowledge entering his head. It felt like I was able to use shadows more freely and become smarter after Ki.

‘I felt it.’

-Once you accept His wisdom, there is no escape. It’s kind of like a drug. You will crave it more and more.

I couldn’t deny that. Because Diamon’s power, whether it be knowledge or wisdom, was truly amazing.

Could this be how Eve felt when she saw the knowledge of good and evil in front of her eyes?

It’s a power you can really become addicted to and crave.

‘therefore?’

It showed white teeth in the dark. It was sharp like a knife.

-Work for Diamon. Then you can get even more.

Demons have no help without a price.

The reason why Diamon lent me his authority and left me alone was for a reason.

Now that things have turned out this way, I really have become a subordinate of Diamon. I can’t even gamble

-Argon told me to tell you. Help Principal Eins Neromeri to impeach Pompey.

‘… … .’

Things are getting pretty complicated.

The probability that something was exchanged between Eins and Argon was extremely low.

When she was young, she lost her younger brother to a monster. There was no way Eins, who hated monsters more than anyone else, would have joined hands with Argon.

That would mean that Diamon has some nefarious plans.

The exact reason is unknown right now, but Diamon feels that Ains becoming the principal will be more helpful for the future revival of the demon king.

It is an unexpected variable.

If you push Eins, you’re helping Diamon. Is it fortunate that I was kidnapped by Ackerman?

‘You son of Ackerman… … .’

He is also the main character. It may not have been intentional, but his choices often lead to unexpected results like this. Good luck in correcting the main character 7. Envy Envy.

‘Help Eins… … .’

-That’s right. It was going according to his will, but I was wondering if the interrupter should come and intervene.

Laughter came out. It’s like a demon’s subordinate is worried about you all of a sudden.

Besides, at this rate, Ackerman and Chuck will be left behind.

It’s trouble. that’s true

Do I really have to act as a subordinate of Diamon and double spy?

I don’t know exactly what Diamon and Argon think of me, but it seems to be true that they need me.

You need an inside spy.

You must clearly set your route. Do you believe in Ackerman and stand by him? Do you take the route I thought of?

… … The route I already thought of is no different from a piece of tissue paper. Because my choice soon became what Diamon wanted.

If so, the answer is fixed.

Unconditionally stand on the side of the main character.

Think about the next day later.

If there is no breakthrough, it is also necessary to build without a plan. like Ackerman.

I saw Ackerman through the grate. Although a bit unreliable, the main character is the main character.

As long as he is fine, he can win both Diamon and Nabal. Besides, if I act as Diamon’s internal spy, it’s even easier… … .

“Well?”

I doubted my eyes for a moment.

Name: Ackerman Breed

Gender: male

Age: 18

Personality: [Courage] [Indomitable] [Justice]

Specialty: [Indomitable] [Sword Master] [Perception]

Stats: [Strength: 26] [Agility: 27] [Stamina: 25] [Luck: 7]

Power: [65/65]

Why is this kid’s stats like this?

Whatever went wrong, it was firmly wrong.

Diamon is soggy? Does not matter.

Is the story twisted? You can fix it with a little more trouble.

everything is fine Because I had the belief that with Ackerman, somehow it would be resolved.

No matter what the process is, you only have to go to Seoul.

What makes that possible is Ackerman’s unique trait, ‘The Way of the Warrior’.

It is a key characteristic of demon slaughter, and it was a fraudulent ability unique to the main character who could overcome even the demon king. You need this to easily kill the top level demons.

The reason why Acheron was not convinced by Ackerman yet is that this ‘Way of the Hero’ did not appear.

The Hero’s Path is manifested when Ackerman’s Himminche stat reaches 35. It is a characteristic that can be seen at the latest in the midterm of the first semester of the second year.

By the way… … .

Why are those bastard stats like that?!

An average of at least 30 is normal. A deceased person like me would have already passed 35 during winter vacation.

That means only one thing.

Ackerman played during vacation.

He must have been lying around in the flower field with Princess Elace hahahoho. The world would have been beautiful.

“ha… … .”

He wiped his face in despair. What kind of guy is that?

I trusted you so much that you would betray me like this. No matter how much the story went wrong because of me, you should have trained hard!

Just beat them all and stick to Diamon’s side?

Disrespectful thoughts keep coming to my mind. Did I still believe in such a guy as the main character?

Feelings of betrayal and anger welled up.

I don’t know anything else, but it’s clear that Ackerman is distracted by dating.

– Hey, where are you going?

It was Diamon and Nabal, and it was the moment I opened the door to say something to Ackerman.

—-thud!

A wave of magical energy that seemed to shake the entire mountain.

A huge power that covered the land fell like a meteor.

Who could radiate this kind of power other than the highest level of demons?

… … have. just one person

“What time is it?”

Hmm. It’s been a long time since we had an appointment for dinner. Can they handle Siana’s anger for not eating Pizza?
