238. Head to Head (3)

“Ahahahaha-!”
The Marquis Bogart held his stomach and laughed.
No wonder, what was unfolding right in front of his eyes was worth showing such a reaction.
“Oh my God, to see the Sword Saint buried in a pile of papers. If the Saints of Spear in another Holy Land or the Saints of Fist of the Tribal Alliance see it, everyone will be amazed!”
“…Did you come to laugh at me, Lionheart.”
Lard replied with a haggard expression.
It was not too long ago that the emperor abandoned all official duties to him, saying that he was also a student.
“I’m worried about the escort, but…”
From noble mtl dot com
“This is where the ‘immortal’ Atalanta is located. Even the worst opponents can at least have plenty of time to buy you time to dispatch, right?”
“…That’s right.”
In other words, even such a powerful perpetrator would only play the role of buying time for himself to arrive there.
Even if he was criticized for being arrogant, he would eat it badly, but neither the Marquis Bogart nor Lard himself could find anything unusual in those words.
No one else, the Sword Saint himself is the strongest warrior in the Empire. He doesn’t have any hesitation in saying things like this.
“By the way, have you seen this?”
However, there was nothing I could do about the dreadful administrative work of the strongest uninhabited island.
Especially when it involves members of the Imperial Headquarters who do all sorts of things without even thinking about taking care of themselves.
The documents presented by the Marquis Bogut right away proved that fact better than anything else.
“Isn’t there an Elfante school festival coming up soon?”
“…Something like that.”
Seeing the Marquis Bogart thrusting his chin at him without hesitation, Lard answered in a flirtatious way.
Even so, considering the relationship between the Council of Elders and the emperor, I wouldn’t be afraid to offer something like this casually. Every single thing this man does always feels beyond common sense.
And the content written there feels more and more beyond common sense.
“…”
Lard read the agenda written there with a pale face.
“…Is this real?”
“Then would it be fake!”
The answer that came back with a big smile was still cheerful, but the face of the sword saint crumpled even more when he saw it.
“…Are you saying people like this gather in groups of threes and threes at the academy to see a school performance?”
It is a name that is weighty enough to be persuasive to Rad’s words that flowed out like moans.
Seonghwangguk side.
Archbishop Luminol, and his daughter, Lana Rey Del Bium.
Tribal Union side.
Two chieftains.
Even up to this point, the lineup would be like having a summit meeting, but the humans gathering from the empire were even more stupid.
Marquis Kendride, Archduke Tristan, Chancellor Sullivan.
Add to that.
“I’m going to Elfante too!”
“…Please look at me, Marquis.”
Rad said it like a moan.
Just looking at the lineup, they are people who can be seen as supporting the country. Considering that the emperor himself now has enemies in Elfante, virtually the entire leadership of the country is gathering there.
And that’s not enough.
“Isn’t it true that even one ‘scholar’ descends from the Mage Tower, which doesn’t pay much attention to the outside world? This is too much-“
Rad, who was about to say that, was startled.
As soon as he heard the name, he immediately saw the expression on Bogart’s face.
What should I say about it?
Hostility, tension, wariness, disgust, disgust.
Whatever you call it would be appropriate.
The emotion that is melted into the root.
‘…Fear?’
This man.
Being afraid of someone is very unusual.
As if there was an experience of being ‘taken away’ by something.
“That can’t be done, Sword Saint!”
However, when he uttered the next sentence, Bogart’s face was back to normal.
So fast that it feels like what Lard just saw is a mirage.
“Isn’t that an event where Doud Campbell’s club is giving a presentation? There must be many people besides me who are interested in the continent, so it won’t change anything just because I go there!”
“…Are you calling that an excuse now?”
Rad said it like a moan, but only sentences in a mischievous voice came back.
“It’s not an excuse, Sword Saint!”
-No.
No.
His expression is playful as usual. The tone is equally frivolous.
However, as soon as Rad suddenly felt the difference between his current appearance and his usual appearance, his spine stood up.
“Please prepare in advance.”
In the first place, this man.
In this place, he has come to ‘warn’ himself.
Exactly.
He must be conveying these words to the emperor through himself as the emperor’s representative.
“Changes are coming. Due to the result of the man’s fingertips. A change that will affect the entire continent.”
“…”
“Prepare in advance, you won’t be swept away!”
Although it was only at the end that things went back to normal.
There was no doubt that it was a terribly ominous sound.
“…Even if I ask you a little more about what you mean-“
“It means that you should pray that the man will be successful in dating multiple people at the same time!”
“…”
What bullsh*t.

After announcing that I would accept everyone in the club, my academy life suddenly became peaceful.
On the surface.
Usually, it was normal for the devil’s bowls to come every other day and make a fuss about it, but now
There is no Riru, who camped in front of my door since morning while working out together, nor Seras, who pretends not to be the case and follows me from behind, watching my every move, and no Yuria hesitantly asks to take a “Walk” With me.
[…What was the last one. Wasn’t that lady guilty of you?]
‘In the Duchy of Tristan last time, didn’t you hold the white devil inside his body?’
[Right?]
‘Didn’t you put a leash on that side too and make them declare that you’re the owner?’
[…Isn’t it?]
‘It seems to remain as a ‘very pleasant memory’ to him. To the point where I get withdrawal symptoms if I don’t feel it again.’
[…]
‘So he couldn’t hold it back even with guilt, so he came begging me to put on a leash and go for a walk.’
[…]
‘So you’ve made that mistake and asked me to do something like this again, I’m trash. I’m trying my best to comfort you, but…’
It seems like the same thing is happening over and over again.
Fortunately, every time he comforts you, he seems to listen to you sincerely, so his stress is relieved well, but it’s not common for him to come to you to ask you to take an ‘outdoor walk’ as if it’s a habit, even though you feel that way in the first place.
Thanks to that, the Seal of Fallen is regularly recharged with the white devil’s magic, so there’s no way you won’t be able to use that ability, but more than that, it’s more like Yuria is really opening her eyes to a strange wall, so it’s terrifying…
[…Hasn’t he already opened his eyes?]
‘Please refrain from such scary words.’
[…]
Caliban could not bear to say anything and remained silent.
You can’t see it, but it looks like it’s probably suffering from a headache and holding its head.
[…What kind of monster did you create, you.]
‘…I am reflecting on myself.’
Regarding Yuria’s condition recently, I have nothing else to say.
“-Today’s class is ideal. Thank you all for your hard work.”
While I was talking with Caliban, the professor at the pulpit said that and closed the book.
At the same time, I can hear the students around me yawning profusely.
Well, it’s a class at the Divinity Faculty that’s known for being boring. I can’t help but get a reaction like this.
In my case, it’s not really like that.
[Accumulate knowledge related to ‘Basic Divine Power Management’. ]
[ Sufficient knowledge is being accumulated. You can unlock skills related to ‘miracle’ soon! ]
“…Hmm.”
The net function of the academy class. Can strengthen me
Not the basic stats that can be easily amplified, but the abilities that I have never used before and are faithful to the ‘class characteristics’.
Recently, there has been a tendency to neglect the improvement of my specs a bit. I was able to somehow solve the situation just by making good use of what I had already accumulated.
However, now there are plenty of reasons to do so.
‘…It wasn’t the other guy, it was him.’
I have to be strong. Not to die The gray devil advised me ‘directly’.
I think that the fact that the guy who used to hit me indiscriminately no matter what I said said that, must have had a reason.
[Is that why you said crazy things that the club declared that you would receive everything?]
“Yes?”
[Your seal, every time you bump into demons, their energy is recharged. The more directly and violently they are entangled, the faster they are charged.]
Caliban
[If you do something like a match, it’s an opportunity to quickly fill your seal with all the demonic energy. Isn’t that the best if it’s only by strengthening?]
“That’s it.”
Speaking of purpose, that is the biggest.
If you get strong that fast, you’ll probably be able to hit the cut-off.
‘Obviously, around the time of the school play…’
As expected, something explodes.
Even if there is no system message, it is of course predictable. Because the Elfante School Festival was an important event where all kinds of variables came out even in the original game.
So, it is essential to strengthen myself enough to bring the ‘leadership’ of the main quest, which is rampant in all directions due to all kinds of variables these days.
[Oh, and let me ask you one more question.]
“Yes. What is it?”
[What did you say to Elijah behind my back?]
My footsteps suddenly stop.
“There is such a thing.”
[You forced me to sleep back then. What were you trying to say?]
“There is such a thing.”
[…I woke up then and tried to hear something? So, the man from Balcasus, who didn’t usually come out, came out and dragged me inside again. If you want to be sane, you won’t listen. What were you talking about-]
“Shut up, please.”
[…]
Let’s think about the crazy story later.
Because there is something more important than that. Huh?
Please.
“…Let’s take care of that later. Right now, I care about the girls who come to challenge me in various ways.”
[…Yes. That is more important now.]
The “Match” Announced earlier starts today.
The rules are simple.
Everyone is given a chance once. Choose the sport you want to challenge on your own.
If you win, I obey your words, and if you lose, you obey my words unconditionally.
[…So everyone is calm? Because you only get one chance.]
Caliban sneered and threw those words.
It seems that I can understand why no human has ever attacked me even with such an opportunity.
[Everyone knows how crazy you’ve been. No matter what the event is, you know that you won’t be able to compete with me without enough preparation.]
“Yes. I guess so.”
From noble mtl dot com
Answer with a smile.
Admittedly, I’ve been a bit prominent so far. To the extent that even humans like that would pause for a while before betting on a match.
Just.
“But I’m glad there are guys who don’t know enough about that yet.”
[What?]
I’m saying this because there’s a guy I haven’t met with yet.
That is.
The first ‘challenge’ to come is definitely this guy.
“Do you have a moment, Senior Dawood?”
Hearing the voice from the side, he stopped for a moment.
Check who said it, and put a smile on their face right away.
Yeah, it went well.
It’s a perfect opponent for warming up.
“Of course.”
After answering that, Victoria in front of her politely nodded her head.
