New Threats(1)
When he returned from his dream after a lot of hard work, his vision was filled with Maria and Persia’s face.
He must have been very anxious about sleeping.
In particular, Maria’s side seems to be subtly shocked.
“Master, did you have any nightmares? You look worse than before…”
“Oh, no. I slept well.”
Considering the feelings of Maria and the Demon King, he hurriedly denies and wakes up.
When I asked Silvia and Elfriede, who had just returned, the time, the major class was just around the corner.
I took the summons who were engrossed in the board game and left without delay to the classroom.
Although the name of the Department of Classical Magic is that it is directly under the dean, there are not many cases where the dean actually conducts lectures.
In addition, due to the national injury, the public lecture overlapped, so I could not attend his classes for quite a long time.
Of course, Eolin was also a great summoner and professor, so there were no major complaints.
The fact that there were only three students was also a factor that I liked.
“Welcome everyone. Let’s start a little early today.”
The dean, who was waiting in advance in the classroom, started the lecture without delay.
As he foretold, the focus of the second semester will be dimensional summoning.
That’s exactly what Russell was trying to use the other day.
Due to the nature of summoning a whole part of another dimension, it is difficult to activate and consumes a lot of mana…
Once activated, it will boast a tremendous amount of power.
It would be fine to trigger it as a delayed spell at the beginning of the battle.
The dean generously shared the results of his research during his summer vacation.
“I decided to name the technique Dimensional Summoning. It will be difficult to use right away, and I will have to build it up from the basics, but… Russell brought it up at the end, so the power will definitely be there. So, is it okay to use this for the 2nd semester lecture? “
“Yes, please.”
The professor tailors the lecture directly to the student.
This is also a miracle that is possible because the number of quota for major classes is so small.
As I was getting ready to take notes, Persia, who gave me a quill, lowered her voice and asked.
“Master, by the way, you know the Prince Albion of Einclad I met last time, wouldn’t it be better to tell the dean about that?”
“Even if you say that… Albion didn’t do anything. And there’s no need to say it?”
“yes?”
Albion is a student with a sense of uneasiness to the point that even the Demon Lord warned him…
As long as I’m just paying attention, I’ll be fine.
The dean overheard our conversation and nodded slowly and small.
“All international students from Einclad are subject to monitoring by the academy. Even if they become students of our academy, they are from foreign nobles, so we cannot leave them in peace. What happened last time has already been reported.”
“Well, I heard that Albion is a Michael-class summoner…”
“In other words, it’s only at the level of Michael. It’s hard to damage the academy or the kingdom alone to that extent. Even if all other international students participate, that doesn’t change.”
Only the dean can describe Michael as ‘barely’, but I agree with him.
The hagwon was already considering international students as a target of concern.
All they can do is, at best, take political responsibility.
Considering the gang of Viscount Telamere last time, I don’t think it would be difficult.
The dean sighed as he stroked his long beard, tilted his head and vomited his true intentions.
“To be honest, I wish Essha could hold her accountable… Oh, let’s pretend I didn’t hear that.”
“I wish I did too! Ah…”
“This guy, how come he’s been quiet lately.”
Persia, who fervently agreed with the dean’s words, hid on my lap, avoiding Medusa’s honey chestnut.
I put him back on the desk and concentrate on the lecture.
As Russell had been studying until the last moment, Dimensional Summoning was no joke.
Even if you are only learning the knowledge that precedes the use, your brain is likely to break.
When the long pain, which did not feel like two hours, was over, the dean quickly got up.
As always, the bell saved us.
But today’s work does not end here.
I followed him and hurried to the main square.
An ultra-long-distance transmission gate that Russell ate earlier.
Today is the day to celebrate the reconstruction.
It has been a while since there has been a national award, so it will be held modestly, but the workers who have been overworked day and night will have a special feeling.
It seems a bit like getting students to participate in events like this, but…
I’m not in a position to complain if other people don’t know.
Taking out the cloak with the school’s pattern on it, he recalled Russell’s face.
‘It was dirty because we were together, let’s not see each other again.’
We gathered in the central plaza while shaking our heads and shaking off our thoughts.
As I am not yet a supporter of the academy, I headed down the podium…
Elena was staring intently at me from above.
She’s a royal, so it’s only natural for her to be there.
If you stay still like this, it will come down from Elena’s side, so you can’t help but move up.
Then, with a satisfied expression on her face, she quickly narrowed the distance.
While I was hardening my body at the burden of staring at me, the dean calls her aside for a while.
“Helena. Let’s talk for a second…”
“Yes? Ah… I’m fine. Please do that.”
The dean made a moorish suggestion, and Elena simply agreed.
I turned my head, thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal.
The high gate had a much cleaner and brighter impression than before it was broken.
Because the name is a reconstruction commemorative event, the employees preparing for operation are shaking in Busan.
Persia, who was waiting with her front paws neatly gathered, noticed it and trembled.
“Master. Can I make it work?”
“I’ve repaired it at the best, but I’ll have to test drive it.”
With a light response, keep an eye on Albion and other international students.
They were assigned to the very front, just below the podium.
At first glance, it may seem that you have been given special privileges, but in reality, it is a perfect place to be watched.
As soon as I cared about it again, the commemorative ceremony began.
Of course, it is a boring and boring official event, so the reaction of students is not very good.
But the dean quickly changed the mood.
“By the way, everyone must have regretted that the festival was cancelled… Three days from tomorrow are public classes. Instead, don’t play too loudly.”
“Uh, this…”
“It’s practically resuming the festival.”
Pupils roaring with excitement.
In fact, there was nothing to be embarrassed about because Elena had condoned it.
When I looked at her expression without realizing it, a smile came back as if it was okay.
but. This is much better than being depressed all the time.
A commemorative ceremony continues as Edel and Medusha are calming down next to them.
As if to finish it quickly and enjoy the festival, the test drive started without delay.
Of course, there is no reason for things to go wrong, as we have only rebuilt what was once destroyed.
The staff at the gate fired a pillar of light without specifying the coordinates properly.
It was a little funny because I thought that it would be a proper exam like this, but if I do it right, it costs a lot of money.
Light is emitted from the structure that looks like a horn split left and right.
As he climbed straight up and pierced the clouds, the faces of the staff and professors brightened.
“Well, normal operation check completed. The output is also stable.”
“If this is enough, there will be no problems in practice.”
“Okay, it’s a festival!”
The cat professor with his tongue stretched and stretched went round and round with Persia.
It looks like they are already excited because they are looking forward to the food of the festival.
I was looking forward to tomorrow with a smile too.
The last employee checking the gate made a meaningful noise.
“Uh, that…”
a little before that.
The demon king within me also began to send magical energy through my whole body.
It wasn’t until the battle stance, but it was about the stage before that.
I followed her guidance and looked up to the sky.
In the sky pierced by the pillars of light, there was a pupil that felt somehow familiar.
The lengthwise torn eyes of the reptile’s eyes were beyond common sense.
The power that is transmitted even when looking up from a distance.
There are very few summoned creatures with such extra-large eyes.
“Huh, giant?”
“No. It’s a vertical pupil. That’s…”
“Old dragon! Maybe even bigger than Eshas-sama.”
While the professors were making their conclusions without difficulty, the guards who were waiting around the podium raised their spears.
The dean let out a small sigh and dried it.
“It’s useless. I didn’t use any reagents in this test run. That’s the incarnation body… It’s only a part of the body that’s been summoned.”
It certainly can’t have a physical effect, but I doubt the intent behind it.
The eyes that were looking for Esha after chasing Link’s bundle were black.
In such a subject, even the pupils were black, so it was barely distinguishable through the strength and weakness of colors.
I naturally looked towards the international students, but Albion and others raised their hands as if claiming innocence.
“It’s not over there. The masters of the Book of Heaven are…”
As soon as the demon king guessed the culprit of this commotion, new eyes appeared.
This time they are blue, red, and green respectively.
Although it looks a little smaller than the black dragon that first appeared, the owners of a huge body comparable to Eshas.
They didn’t even say a word to each other and just followed Link’s bundle… So it felt even more terrifying.
“I heard that there are 4 old dragons.”
“Track the coordinates! You need to know which dimension you visited…”
“Ah, it’s gone!”
The old dragons disappear without any regrets as if they have achieved their goal.
Where they were, only the night sky, crescent moon, and starlight remained.
It seems that Eshas was in the royal palace… but even the thick walls of the palace wouldn’t be able to block the gazes of the old dragons.
The dean, who sighed and nodded nearby, hurriedly returned to the dean’s office.
“How did the reagent react… Did the rebels already stimulate it? It could be a bit dangerous.”
“Dean, then the festival is…”
“Do as planned. Because you need time to deal with it anyway.”
The dean is quite trustworthy, unlike usual.
However, this is not a situation that can be solved alone.
If it’s an old dragon of the same level as Essha, of course, it’s SS rank.
Even if he was summoned as an incarnation, it would be that much, so if he became an enemy, he would suffer immensely.
Persia murmurs anxiously while Letty is trembling in my front pocket.
“If those old dragons are even summoned to the truth…”
“Then I’d rather be lucky.”
“yes?”
“No. Let’s go back as well.”
I couldn’t get over Sylvia’s glare, so I went back to the dorm with everyone.
She was obligated to keep me safe.
It is difficult to change the atmosphere by talking about a simple festival that will start tomorrow.
After washing his tired body and putting a steaming teacup in front of him, he relaxed a bit.
Persia, who doesn’t like hot drinks, filled a teacup with ice and poured tea into it.
It has to be brewed with hot water first, so it is an unavoidable choice.
“You’re still eating troublesome…”
“Still, it tastes even better as much as you put in the effort!”
“Beep?”
Suffering from a familiar commotion and taking out a book, Sylvia, who was wearing an apron, suddenly moved her hand to her waist and approached the window.
Elfriede and Elena are nervous about their apparent vigilance.
Thanks to this, I am also strengthening my body, but in the darkness of the night, a familiar figure came through the window.
“Louise, I’m here to play… Wow!”
“Why are you doing this, Maria? Ugh, why are you here?”
As I watched the precious ladies break into the men’s dormitory, I closed my eyes.
Christine, who came in with a smile on her face, clicked her tongue when she saw us with sullen expressions.
Even Sylvia, who took a slumped pose, responded that it was understandable, but when she found Elfriede and Elena, her eyes began to strain.
“Did everyone play like this on weekdays?”
“Ah, even the bed in the master bedroom…”
“Welcome. Would you like a cup of tea?”
“Hey, line up.”
Medusha calmly handed the tea, and Ethel rejected the two of them.
Persia, who was waving her tail in a welcoming way, showed the reaction she had expected.
“There are a lot of people, but we play board games! We played it before and it was fun.”
“Look. We’re too late.”
Christine, who swallowed a sigh, made a meaningful sound to Maria, whose face was blushing, and sat around the table.
I just kept my mind blank and focused on the description of the game.
