Episode
69 Lancaster’s Doomsday (1)
“I’m going to turn around a lot.”
Professor Ferdinand frowned as he had called me.
“Did you tell me to go out and make money, or get something to fight?”
“We are only doing external commissioning as part of our practice.”
“Noisy! I was sent to search out the demons, but why did the conflict with the Lancaster family arise!”
Ferdinand was very angry.
“Damn, I didn’t want to get involved in this.”
“Are you going to the Lancaster family too, Professor?”
“I almost got dragged away because I was your advisor!”
“After all, you’re not going.”
“Of course! I hate political fights like this!”
He was also a professor who devoted his life to the study of swordsmanship and archeology.
“Still, since you are your advisor, the academy has to deal with all sorts of post-processing. My subordinates were also involved in this work.”
“You have to do that.”
“This guy is really… … .”
Ferdinand looked at me in the face.
“When I heard that he was returning after completing the subjugation of the demonic priests in an instant, he was delighted that a lump of fortune had rolled in.”
“How much were you planning to eat?”
“Didn’t you try to get a lot of elixirs? I was just trying to give you a chance.”
“Now that I’m talking, I ask, when will I receive the elixir given as a reward?”
“Tt… … .”
Ferdinand pulled out a blue potion from under the drawer and threw it.
“Take it.”
“thank you.”
With a bottle of blue elixir in his pocket, Ferdinand waved his hand.
“There’s nothing more to do, so let’s go. He said he had to leave right away.”
“professor.”
I took out a few folds of paper from my pocket.
“What?”
“This is the loot I put aside because I wanted to give it to the professor.”
“booty?”
“I found it in the magician’s hideout, and I thought it would be helpful to the professor.”
Of course, this is a lie.
Actually, I scribbled on the spot.
“I think it will help restore the ancient elixir ‘Amrita’.”
“… … !”
Ferdinand hurriedly checked what was written on the paper.
And I began to contrast with the various materials on the blackboard over the desk.
“Wait a minute, this is… No, how do the magicians get these data… … .”
“I heard that Magico makes an elixir called Soma. Maybe they were also researching Amrita in order to increase the effectiveness of Soma?”
“… … !”
In fact, the information written on the paper is information that Ferdinand obtained after hard work at the end of the novel.
I just handed it to Ferdinand, disguised as the material of the Magic Church.
“I heard that Amrita worked much better than the elixir we take… If the restoration is successful, I hope you will give me one sample as well.”
“No, of course! Oh my God, you came to find this, you did a good job, you did a really good job!”
Leaving behind the cheering Ferdinand, I left the faculty room.
Now if Ferdinand completes Amrita… You will be able to increase your magic power even more.
* * *
The investigation team headed to the Lancaster family consisted of three advisors.
‘Yellow Jade Sword (炎獄劍)’ Calleon Ignias.
‘The Dragon Sword’ Yols Callesius.
and… ‘Black Chain Sword’ Angela Bertinsky.
All three were graduates who had reached their peak, and were the representative swordsmen of the academy.
“I am happy to be reunited, but it is unfortunate that we have met again through such an event.”
“I think so too, Professor Joles.”
Yols, whom I had been friends with for a while, spoke to me.
“I regret that I didn’t actively investigate the facts when I was attacked at the punishment dong last time. It sounds like an excuse, but back then, it was difficult to be active in preparing for my class.”
“it’s okay.”
“Heh, it’s too late.”
Calleon, who was next to him, said in a blunt voice.
Calleon’s last attempt to overthrow the Lancaster family was unsuccessful due to lack of evidence.
“Ernas, are you sure about this?”
“I think for sure.”
“Hmm, good. You are also a member of the investigation team, so whenever necessary, speak positively.”
In fact, Caleon wouldn’t make a very good impression on me.
Because he is a competitor to his son Rufus.
But this time, in order to condemn the Lancaster family, it seemed that he was going to cover up those feelings for now.
“I just want to put aside the arguing and just get rid of Henry Lancaster quickly.”
“Professor Angela, that’s a little… … .”
“Still extreme.”
The one who interrupted the conversation was a female professor with dark hair hanging down to her waist.
The overall gloomy atmosphere was Angela Bertinsky, the ‘Black Sword’.
‘The advisor of the Angela class… In the novel, he was the Academy’s fastest swordsman.’
Although she has never been taught until now, she is well aware of her swordsmanship because she played a major role in the second half of the novel.
It is a style that quickly annihilates enemies while running across the battlefield.
‘In the novel, I’m not the person to contact at this point.’
The fact that an investigation team is sent to the Lancaster family is a different development from the novel itself.
As a result of that influence, it seemed that he and Angela were contacted at an early stage.
“What is it, Ernas?”
Angela looked at my face with eyes full of dark circles.
“Why are you looking at me with those eyes? Are you interested in me?”
Saying so, Angela reached out and grabbed my chin.
Like a female professor who is often referred to as a ‘witch’ in the academy, it was a sticky and creepy touch.
“Professor Angela, please do not harass students.”
“How are you? You don’t seem to hate it at all.”
In replying to Yols, Angela looked me in the eye.
“Ernas, you… What did you think when you looked at me?”
“I do not know.”
I smiled on purpose.
“Let’s guess what you were thinking.”
“Huh? He’s a fun kid.”
Holding my chin, Angela brought her face closer.
It was at that time that Eusrechs’ ‘reproduction of ability’ was triggered.
[Attempting to ‘reproduce ability’ for the character ‘Angela Bertinski’]
[The level of understanding of the character ‘Angela Bertinski’ is 60%.]
Thanks to Angela’s first contact with my body, I was able to try to reproduce an ability that was not in my plan.
Angelo is also a top grade grade, so getting a sword from her would be of great help.
[‘Reproduction of abilities’ may fail due to lack of understanding of the characters.]
[If ‘Re-Ability’ fails, you cannot retry ‘Re-Ability’ on the same person twice.]
[Are you trying to ‘reproduce abilities’ for the character ‘Angela Bertinski’?]
I tried to reproduce the ability without thinking.
Because I thought it was worth the risk.
[Attempting to ‘reproduce ability’ for the character ‘Angela Bertinski’]
[Judgment: Success]
[Acquires the main ability of the character ‘Angela Bertinski’.]
[We succeeded in acquiring Bertinsky Black Chain Swordsmanship (SS Rank), but we already have many abilities.]
[Ionian Swift Swordsmanship (S Rank) was successfully acquired, but there are many abilities that it already possesses.]
[I have succeeded in acquiring the Signiser Renewing Skill (S Rank), but I already have many abilities.]
[You can no longer acquire abilities because you currently have many abilities.]
[It is possible to delete the ability you currently have and acquire a new ability.]
Those were brilliant skills.
What stood out the most was the Bertinsky Black Chain Swordsmanship, the original swordsmanship developed by Angela herself.
As you can see from the SS rank, he has attained the ultimate enlightenment and has reached the state of great fortune.
But unfortunately… This is a swordsmanship developed after Angela reached its climax, and it requires the highest level of magical power.
‘So I’ll have to learn something else.’
The Signiser Renewal Skill will also be helpful, but it’s not urgent because there is already a Lichtenauer Renewal Skill.
It would be better to learn Ionian swift swordsmanship.
‘Ionia swift swordsmanship is a southern swordsmanship that pursues fast speed… Anyway, I was lacking in this side.’
I decided to acquire the Ionian Swift Swordsmanship.
Now that there are no empty slots in the slot, I decided to delete the Balahail Heavy Swordsmanship.
It was because he had mastered the upper compatible Waldfeld spear technique.
[Balahail Heavy Swordsmanship (Rank A) has been deleted.]
[Succeeded in acquiring Ionia Rapid Swordsmanship (S Rank).]
[You will not be able to try ‘Regenerate Ability’ for the next 12 days.]
Immediately after the acquisition of Ionia Rapid Swordsmanship was completed.
Beside him, Caleon let out an annoyed voice.
“I hope you do a little work, Professor Angela. Is now the time to harass students?”
“Tsuk, you’re still an uninteresting character, Professor Calleon.”
Angela clicked her tongue and took her hand away from me.
It was a really tight timing.
“Ernas, you seem to welcome Professor Angela’s touch… Is it possible that you like that kind of woman?”
Yoles asked me carefully, then immediately shook his head.
“No, nothing. It would be an act of exaltation to inquire about a student’s female preferences.”
“Professor, I… … .”
“How long have you been making strange noises!”
Calleon groaned.
“Professor Angela, hurry up and get on the Bicon carriage! You never know what the Lancaster family will do!”
“ttt, nagging.”
“Ernas! you also!”
“All right.”
Hearing Caleon’s prompt, he got on the carriage.
And he touched the Uslecht of his finger.
[Currently, the abilities acquired through ‘Ability Reproduction’ are as follows.]
— Provisional Acquisition —
[Partizan Judgment Swordsmanship (S Rank)]
[Ionia Rapid Swordsmanship (S Rank)]
[Waldfeld Swordsmanship (S Rank)]
[Liechtenauer Divine Magic (Rank A)]
[Atilion Magical Detecting (Rank A)]
— Permanent Attribution —
[Calecius Spear Swordsmanship (Rank B)]
[Eastern Magical Technique (Rank A)]
The Eastern Swordsmanship Partizan Judgment Swordsmanship.
The Western Swordsmanship Callesius Spear Swordsmanship.
The Northern Swordsmanship, Waldfeld Swordsmanship.
Southern swordsmanship, Ionia swift swordsmanship.
I’d say it’s pretty well balanced.
‘Then, the preparations are over.’
The sword maintenance was also completed.
He also took the blue elixir he received from Ferdinand.
Now, all that remains is to attack the Lancaster family and end the bad relationship.
‘Wait, Henry Lancaster, Lester Lancaster.’
The head and successor of the swordsmith Lancaster.
Thinking of those two, I strengthened my resolve.
‘Soon… Your downfall is coming.’
To completely destroy one of the six swordsmiths, I headed west with the professors.
