VERITAS
Kwachang!
A huge explosion occurred in the dimensional rift that Leon and his party entered.
A wave of terrifying magical power pouring out with him.
“Hey, what the hell is this!”
“This magic wave is by no means an A-grade dungeon. S, no, it’s an EX-grade dungeon…!”
The academy’s junior assistants, who do not know what happened here, were taken aback by what happened suddenly while guarding the front of the dungeon where the students entered.
Obviously, until just a moment ago, the magic wave flowing from the dimensional rift was pointing to an A grade, but why is it suddenly changed to an EX grade?
“Everyone, be prepared! Breakouts happen!”
It is unfortunate, but the students who entered the dungeon for the graduation exam must have been annihilated by this powerful magic wave.
If so, this phenomenon of pouring out internal magic must be a breakout where the dimensional rift is connected to the takeover.
A dungeon that traps monsters from the demon realm, escape from the dungeon.
“The teaching assistant, who is good at wind magic, immediately gives communication magic to the president! Tell them that the breakout of the EX-class dungeon has occurred!”
In the chaotic atmosphere, for the safety of the students, the guards of the magic tower, which were waiting near the dungeon, gathered one after another.
This graduation exam is a place where all the prospects of Matoap, including Princess Ailee, the successor of Karma Tower, and Catheus Forest, gather together.
Naturally, they dispatched a guard from the magic tower so that they could provide immediate support if there was a problem with their safety.
However, the faces of the wizards who had gathered like that were contorted with dark expressions.
Even if it wasn’t for the wind attribute wizards who excelled in magic observation, everyone in this place could feel it desperately.
No one can bear the existence of evil lurking in that darkness.
Only the aftermath that flowed out beyond the dimensional rift was draining away the mental power of all the wizards in this place.
And by the time that such a confrontation had passed for more than 30 minutes,
“Coming out…!”
The dimensional rift expanded and opened its gigantic jaws as if vomiting a nightmare.
The wizards froze their bodies and minds with fear, expecting evil to pour out from within, but only 10 students walked out of it.
“This is what the hell…”
The wizards, who were preparing to fight against evil with the determination to die, fell into an unknown situation.
“No one died…?”
“Breakout? Have you ever attacked a dungeon?”
“Say something that makes sense. You felt that magic too. It’s an EX-grade dungeon! It’s not a place that only about 10 students can attack.”
“However······.”
In fact, not a single monster came out of the dimensional rift.
Not only did the students not die, but they appeared to be unharmed with no serious injuries.
What surprised me the most was the academy president, who came to the scene after receiving a report on the situation through communication magic.
“…how the hell? Are you saying that only 10 students subdue the Demon King who had no choice but to seal it because even the gods could not kill it?”
No, to be more precise, Leon subjugated it.
From the beginning, Leon was the only one who was expected to become the biggest obstacle in this plan.
The other students were merely collateral damage caught up in the process of killing Leon.
Ailee Philost, the second princess of the Philo Kingdom.
Because it was predicted that they would never be able to survive in that dungeon with their skills.
However,
“Are you saying that not one of them came back alive?”
Leon and Ailee approach the confused president.
“Academy President, Marquis Riccardo bin Presti. Now I speak to you as a princess, not as a student at the academy. I thought you were a bit smarter. I should have known how to cover the people I want to be close to and those I want to keep away from.”
Ailee said, but Ricardo tilted his head and held out his flippers.
“What do you mean by that? Princess?”
“okay. If it were you, there would be no way you would have left a tail that could be caught. But what about Bruce? Can you really trust that stupid kid?”
“I have no idea what the princess is talking about.”
“Isn’t your position in the turret makes sense? The Academy’s president is a Magician of the 6th Circle. So far, past presidents have not missed the stage of the 7th circle, so they must have been compared to you a lot. In order not to miss the position of president of the academy, did you try to prove your ability to them by linking with Matoap? But then, couldn’t he prove his competence as an educator and not as a wizard? Couldn’t we have put more effort into nurturing the future generations rather than politics?”
At Ailee’s words, Ricardo finally shut his mouth.
Ricardo’s expression was still calm, but the magic of the circle in his heart was shaking uneasy.
Ailee described the academy president as an educator, but the reality is different.
The position of president of the academy is a political position.
As a position, it guarantees an equal position with the masters of the four major magic towers, but in fact, it is a part of the long tradition built up by the magic tower, and it is a position that cannot but be swayed by them.
The president of the academy is at best in a position to wield absolute authority over young wizards graduating at the age of 19.
The faculty members belonging to the academy also belonged to the magic tower in a larger area, and in the end, they had no choice but to pay more attention to their position in the magic tower than the academy.
In the country, if the royal family had paid more attention to the authority of the academy, there would be no reason for him to make such a big deal.
On such a topic, when the person who was the royal family of the kingdom who was responsible for the situation raised the truth, he was upset and could not keep his composure.
Leon squirmed into Ricardo’s gap.
[“Blow the truth.”]
The power of mental magic possessed by the power of nightmares.
Put the language of truth on it and command it.
If there was a priest with divine power in this area, he would have been astonished by the divine deity he felt from those words, but Ricardo could not feel any emotion from Leon’s words.
The words flow naturally as if it were one’s own judgment to the end.
“What do you think of the academy, Princess?”
“What about the Academy?”
“Did you tell me to focus on fostering future generations? Where do those who have been trained like that go? Eventually, the children I raised go to the magic tower after graduating from the academy. It’s a system in which the more I try, the more the power of the magic tower increases. But in the country, the royals of the kingdom have neglected the academy. How can you say such a thing when you have allowed the Magic Tower to rule as a part of the magical science world?”
Ailee couldn’t answer.
Clearly, it was as Riccardo had said.
Ailee had never cared about the Academy’s system until now.
Even she thought that the Academy was a part of the magic world, so she, as a royal, should not touch it.
royalty and the tower.
The two groups of people in power respected each other’s powers and maintained their balance as they were inaccessible to each other’s domains.
But if you think about it, the royal family should have given more power to the academy.
Matop must have interfered with the academy’s education until now under the rule that only those in power enjoy power.
Even if you want to spread better knowledge and truth, how can you train a great successor when the towers above the academy do not allow it?
Perhaps Riccardo wanted to increase the authority of the academy by attaching himself to Prince Bruce, one of the royal family members, and focus on fostering successors as an educator.
“But that doesn’t mean your choice is right.”
Ricardo’s remarks were close to a confession, but that alone could not arrest him.
His remarks were merely a complaint against the current system and could not be evidence that he was directly involved in this case.
But Ailee wasn’t worried.
“Bruce has repeated countless assassination plans to kill me. Do you think I wouldn’t have put a watch on him?”
Ricardo’s eyes widened slightly.
“Until now, Bruce had been careful too, but he wanted to kill me, so he put too much effort into it. Perhaps in exchange for the promise of Ma Tower’s cooperation, he had no choice but to kill Leon. But this time, Bruce’s tail will be caught.”
If so, Ricardo and his marquis family will destroy the Gu family as a crime of treason.
In fact, everyone who has had even a slight connection with the Marquis family of Presti will have no choice but to get involved in this case.
Watching the scene, Leon realized that this was also an event that started with him.
If Princess Ailee had been buried and died in the mining city of Aios, as in the original history, Prince Bruce would have been satisfied with her position and would not have such an unreasonable number.
Even if Ailee survived, if Leon did not develop his skills and work alongside her entourage, if Leon did not try to make contact with the women of the Tempest and Forrest families and cause them to stir up a wind of revolution in the magic tower, Bruce would have to There would have been no need to mobilize even the unknown demon king, a secret existence.
Thus, Leon encountered Miji and subjugated him.
This series of processes felt like a well-crafted script.
As if Leon was destined to meet the unknown.
In order to remove the shadow of despair that will come to the Radiant Continent in the future.
If Leon didn’t subdue the unknown demon king here, would the Radiant Continent and humanity be able to defeat him?
A command that exerts force on the world.
So, considering the perfection of the Demon King who deals with the 5D concept, perhaps at the moment the unknown descends on this earth again, all the lands of mankind may have become the possessions of the Demon Realm.
The unknown demon king, who deals with the unknown concept with power, gains strength by revealing his existence to the world, so it may have been difficult to subdue it even with Leon’s power at that time.
All conditions were met, and in the end the world was saved.
Leon felt that way and felt a bit uncomfortable.
It was as if I had become a puppet moving in someone else’s script.
* * *
It was revealed to the academy through the badge-type magic projector that Leon and his students wore on their chests to score graduation exams, the process of attacking the dungeon.
In the end, Arya Rothbane took the place of the senior graduate.
It was clear that Lily and Anna also had dazzling performances, but nonetheless, they could not be compared to Arya’s magic.
If only 3 months, no, even 2 months had more time, Lily and Anna’s circles would have achieved 4 and they would have been able to exert magic equal to or more than Arya’s, but there was no meaning in the assumption of what if.
However, Lily and Anna also seemed to be satisfied with their grades.
Lily took the second seat and Anna took the third seat.
And Leon Farostel, who defeated the Demon King himself, was excluded from the evaluation of the graduation exam.
Leon’s ability was too heterogeneous to be evaluated as a simple magical ability.
However, he could not ignore the achievements of subjugating the Demon King, so Leon’s graduation was recognized as a position of honor and 0 rank above the senior.
And what happened to Riccardo,
“Bruce has all confessed.”
Evidence of Prince Bruce’s gossiping about the unknown demon king has already been made clear by the watchdogs that Princess Ailee has attached to him.
However, in a situation where only Riccardo and the elders of the Flame magic tower and the Wind magic tower had to find evidence of their involvement with Prince Bruce, Bruce confessed everything on the condition that his punishment be lightened.
Of course, I don’t die, but I don’t know if living in a dark dungeon for the rest of my life is a light punishment.
And Leon was called the king of Philo Kingdom.
By subjugating the unknown demon king, he paid off the burden that the royal family of the Philo Kingdom had been carrying, so it was to commend him for his work.
Originally, Leon’s consular record, which would have been an evaluation video of an ordinary academy graduation exam, spread across the continent and caused a great stir.
Among them, the name that became the most controversial was the name that the unknown demon king called Leon.
God of truth.
In addition, the fact that it dealt with the ‘Dragon’ that was not allowed to the Yongin people until now became widely known, and the wizards’ interest in Leon’s magical abilities was skyrocketing.
It was even more so after it was revealed that it was Leon who taught Lily and Anna about the magical resonance of the wind and earth elements, which are said to be legends.
With everyone’s interests gathered, Leon asked the king for a reward for subjugating the demon lord.
“Please grant me the fifth tower of the Philo Kingdom, VERITAS.”
