Episode 128
The incident of the attack on the city of Matap did not end simply as a sudden incident in Estedor.
Since then, they have caused various incidents across the continent as if they were waiting, and it became common enough that entire villages were annihilated or sacrificed every few days to be heard.
But if you ask that the magnitude of the event has thrown the entire continent into chaos, it is not.
After the Great Fall, the value of force increased to such an extent that even even a small noble family was determined to use force as an essential condition when selecting a successor.
From the point of view of powers with a certain level of force, including noble families, the sudden increase in incidents could annoy them, but did not threaten them.
Only those who live in villages deep in the mountains or valleys are dying.
However, it succeeded in instilling awareness in other factions about this incident.
The atrocities of the demons who suddenly announced their existence and Esteodor seem to summon them.
The two hinted that the demon king might come to this world once again.
Accordingly, the policy of the academy had to change.
Until now, we have recruited talented people and improved our skills in case another demon king emerges after the first demon king.
However, before this incident, the world was in peace, and the purpose of the academy had to be blurred with the passage of time.
However, the ‘possibility’ that the demon king might reappear was enough to change the attitude of the academy.
In any case, their purpose was to train the new warriors and those who would help them.
That’s what changed that.
“•••Suddenly expanding the practical classes to the first grade.”
At the instructions given a few days ago, saying that it was the result of a meeting, the administrative office classified the relics of the newly enrolled first-year students, but they were astonished.
“I can’t help it, who knew that such a surprise would happen in the city of Mato?”
“What do I say? It’s just that I’m running out of time.”
At the academy, from the first semester of the third year, half of the semester is filled with practical classes.
This is because it is judged that everything that can be learned through two years of theoretical education has been learned.
Therefore, the 3rd grade students are scattered across the continent according to their abilities and solve various problems with the help of neighboring powers.
The powers of each region are advantageous because they can solve their problems with only a small amount of support, and the academy is beneficial because the students gain practical experience.
It was the students who were dying, but they couldn’t say they had nothing to gain.
I could make connections with the powers of each region, and I could estimate where I would go after graduating.
“That’s right. Who we are, we’re not machines, and how do we split hundreds of support requests in a week…”
“But if you do, it’s not us who will die, it’s the students.”
“Let’s do our best, let’s do our best!”
They sighed.
On the other hand, the forces that sent requests for support in response to the academy’s request were also not easy.
“The Balzac Kingdom, the Libre Kingdom, the three major families… No, the Empire is also
why… .”
“Isn’t it because of manpower that can be used cheaply?”
“There are many graduates in senior positions, so they must have decided on the values of the students as well as what they will be used for.”
As time passed, it was difficult to find a place without even a single academy graduate among the high-ranking ranks of the now-known faction.
With the shortage of manpower due to an accident due to Estedor, the students at the academy had no choice but to be a good support.
“Then the information they sent has just been sorted, so now we just need to divide the places according to the level of the students, right?”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
They proceeded with caution.
Like the previous relic training or the accident at the horse tower exchange meeting, even this event could not be left in the middle of a problem.
Even if it is not their responsibility, it may be natural to feel responsible.
Dozens of people have lost their lives in one of their paperwork.
“Then the next request of the Lupines is…”
“It looks like a demon contractor is summoning a demon, so please send those who dealt with him.”
“•••I don’t think this is a level for a first-year student.”
Unless you’re at least a 4th grader, ready to graduate who’s completely stabilized, it’d be dangerous to send them to chasing demons.
“Then 4th grade…”
“No, if you look at the conditions here, it is said that if you send a space wizard or someone with light magic, they will lend you a white helmet, one of the five great gods of heroes.”
“But, among the graduates, there must be no such condition?”
“Can’t you lower your gaze?”
Those words reminded them of one.
Too strong for a first year student.
Even compared to the current graduates, a majority of the evaluations say that she is superior, and her truth is unknown, but she is openly called a descendant of a hero.
“But she is specially managed by the president…”
“When I checked earlier, the answer arrived saying it didn’t matter. And, if you’re not sure, why not bring one more person with you?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Secondary, space wizard.”
A prospect who is known to have trained not only magic but also the body at the same time in the ruins training.
No, seeing that Maria Caritas got into the second seat above her, she was a genius who would not be pushed by her.
“•••Then we will decide between those two.”
“If it’s the Lupines family, one of the three great families, you can rest assured that there will be a manpower to prepare for an emergency. I understand.”
“Then the last one sent from the Dragias family…”
They thought, discussed, and decided at the same time.
Those who died after working their whole lives in the academy work for the academy without rotting in the land even after they die.
by the power of the chairman.
It was an everyday conversation that took place in the depths of the academy.
Don’t know when it will end.
[First-year students also replace half of a semester with fieldwork.]
After a week of school closures, the academy was heated by the announcement.
-Isn’t it natural that there are rumors that the Demon King will reappear?
– It’s not bad since you can build your network from now on.
-If you take advantage of this chaotic gap… .
Surprisingly, there were many people who thought it was a natural decision, and there were people who made a realistic judgment that they could make a line by accumulating a major from now on.
Allen was in the dormitory while the news that the assignments assigned to the students would be delivered sequentially from today.
He read some papers with a heavy expression on his face.
soft-
paper goes over
Quiet- Quiet-
The hand, which gradually slowed down as the paper turned, consumed more than ten minutes by the time the last page was reached.
After M… n
Allen put the papers he was reading down on his desk and fell into deep thought.
‘Dragias.’
The dark side of the attack on the harvest festival’s suspicious underground water.
I don’t know why they did that for someone else. I don’t know why they hired such thieves who were not from the 3rd generation family.
However, the information set before him states that Dragias was involved in the raid.
Psyche may have deliberately given wrong information, but Allen lowered the possibility. ‘
The most important thing in the information guild is trust.
Since they are expected to be under the control of a third force, there is no way they will yield to the powers around them, so their information will be accurate.
But I couldn’t understand why they acted that way.
‘Even Psyche said that the purpose is unknown.’
If so, what is it?
Because of the report of the Reinhardt family?
Is there any reason for the third generation to divulge the treasury of the declining count?
Or is it related to a family secret you don’t know?7
Allen’s hand rubbed his eyelids.
“•••This bastard’s family keeps coming out no matter what.”
Not only is her mother, Eliza hiding something, but her father Guy El, who is strangely obsessed with power, is presumed to be one of the dark kings.
I didn’t care because my family’s priorities were lagging behind, but it was a problem that had to be solved someday.
How did you organize your thoughts like that?
As the paper with the task he had to solve was moved in front of Allen, someone knocked on the door.
smart.
“A guest has arrived.”
You are a guest… .
this time?
Glancing through the window, it was still a long way off before the time had come to meet Maria.
I have an appointment with Rachel for dinner, so no one will be here now. Allen opened her mouth with her puzzled face.
“Tell me to come in.”
Allen answered and got up from her seat, and Enelia opened the door.
It was an unexpected guest who opened the door and entered.
As soon as he entered, Allen could feel a faint attraction in him.
“Elnix, Confucius?”
“Prince Allen. I think it’s the first time we’ve seen each other face to face in a lecture.”
He approached him with a bright smile that didn’t suit his pale face. Allen was wary, but he had a smile on his face.
“Nice to meet you. Confucius Elnix, would you like to sit down first?”
“Thank you for the welcome.”
Allen continued to ponder as he sat down in his seat.
‘What happened to you?’
Did you find out that Psyche was investigating?
No, if I had known that fact, I would have dealt with it in a ‘nobleman’ manner. I’d never have seen you face to face with a smile like this
Inelia disappeared to prepare tea, and there was a moment of silence.
said ‘
It was Allen who spoke first.
”I wonder if I should recover mental and physical stability after the Magic Tower exchange meeting? , can you get to the point quickly?”
[End it quickly.]
Allen smiled softly as he spoke, and Elnix answered with full regret.
“Of course. I know that the horse tower exchange meeting was terrible. But… I think the story is going to be a bit long, so I want to ask for your understanding.”
[I can’t.]
“Then please by dinner. Do you have an appointment with my fiancée?”
[If you have a prior contract, what will you do?]
“I’m really glad that the story will end before that.”
[Does not matter.]
Elnix spoke softly with a smile on his face all the time, just like the son of a large family, and Allen spoke more and more, stating that he was in pain in mind and body.
Their brief nerve war ended when Inelia brought the car.
click.
“It’s a tea leaf I got from an elf, but I don’t know if Confucius Elnix likes it.”
“It’s fine. Do you think the tea depends on the person who brewed it?”
So they talked for a while.
From the current situation on the continent, the academy’s grades, friendships, to the business of the family.
After another ten minutes, Allen straightened up.
How long can you not waste time chatting?
Allen, judging that, opened his mouth the moment he put down the teacup.
The intimidation of a wizard with a new role passed over Elnix, even briefly.
“Can you tell me why you came all the way here?”
The moment didn’t even last a second, so it could be called an illusion, but El Nix was able to guess that Allen did it on purpose to put pressure on him.
However, Elnix Dragias was the son of the 3rd generation family.
This kind of intimidation was something he had endured many times while he was in the family.
‘Compared to the intimidation of the first brother, this is… .’
It is nothing.
This was something that had to be done.
His ‘brother’ specifically ordered it, so I can’t give up here.
He took another sip of tea as if nothing had happened> and opened his mouth with a paler face.
“It seems that Confucius is not feeling well… Then I will put the main point in my mouth.”
He spit it out as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“Our Dragias family is going to formally invite Prince Allen…”
His gaze went down through Allen’s face.
Allen’s gaze stopped at a young age and approached him with displeasure.
“What do you think?”
Of course, you are welcome to come with your fiancé.
He handed over the invitation with a smile that could be dismal depending on the viewer.
A solicitation that is obviously full of pitfalls.
