‘Where did the black swan go?’
I tilted my head.
People thought that the black swan had gone AWOL and ignored it.
‘Is it really AWOL? It doesn’t seem like you have a disloyal personality. Is something strange?’
Since I didn’t know anything about black swans in the first place, guessing was limited.
‘But it’s strange. Have you really never seen a black swan in a scenario?’
In my judgment, the ones worth paying attention to among the four new professors were not those from a master magic or swordsmanship family.
2 others.
It was the guy who came to Sky Island and the Black Swan.
‘Both of them barely had any presence in this training, but they don’t seem to be easy people. It must have had a role in the scenario.’
After the black swan suddenly disappeared, an even more uneasy question arose.
Am I missing something?
‘Especially the fact that this is the Ranchel Plateau. Wait, isn’t it related to ‘that incident’?’
I felt goosebumps running down my spine at the sudden guess that came to mind.
‘… no. Black swans are not demons. That’s absolutely impossible.’
Demon tribe.
It was different from the devil in hell.
They are a race other than demons born with darkness in their hearts.
The things I worry about will only happen if the demons of the Demon World, and that is the ‘Key’, intervene.
‘I’ve been preparing for the worst, just in case.’
There was no time to worry any more.
‘I need to focus on training. The score on the second day is also high, so you have to do it perfectly.’
The full schedule has begun.
“The new professors will spend the day doing volunteer work to people in surrounding settlements.”
The professors gave me dark looks.
“All of your service will be used for evaluation, so please do your best.”
They might be ignoring me because I wouldn’t be able to do volunteer work properly, but there was nothing to worry about.
‘I’ve already decided what kind of help I will give.’
After arriving at the settlement village with a relaxed mind.
I stiffened my face.
Unexpected difficulties were waiting.
‘Why him?’
A handsome boy with a gentle face.
It was the devil saint Johen!
‘Could it be that this was a rebel settlement? ‘Damn it.’
No one knew where the rebels’ settlements were located.
At that time, Jochen looked at me and smiled softly.
The famous deer saint.
It was a 100-point smile that shook the hearts of countless female fans, but my heart just sank.
“Are you the class professor? I have heard the word. Thank you for coming to help our settlement.”
Calm voice.
First, I calmed down my cold mind.
‘calm down. We only met by chance, but Jochen doesn’t know that I am the benefactor who saved him. It hasn’t turned black yet.’
Deer saint.
Blackened saint.
These are all nicknames for Johen.
As the scenario progresses, Jochen becomes darker and more evil, but it was still a story from the future.
‘Anyway, Jochen is one of the four main protagonists. If you leave it alone, it will grow well on its own. Let’s pretend not to know and act coldly.’
However, the Black Flame Dragon had an unexpected accident.
-The Black Flame Dragon reacts to the opponent’s pure kindness!
-The ‘Black Flame Dragon’s kindness’ is revealed!
“no. We feel sorry for bothering you for no reason. “I hope you take good care of me for the next day.”
A greeting that will make you feel good even when you hear it!
In fact, he was a black flame dragon who always made a fuss when politeness was needed, and only showed no sense at such times.
Jochen looked slightly surprised, then smiled.
“Professor Ban is different from the high-ranking people I’ve met before. thank you We wish you all the best today.”
I felt like I was giving an unnecessarily good impression, so I broke into a cold sweat.
‘This is okay. Now you just have to do well.’
However, as always in the world, things did not go as planned.
“Child, where has the village chief gone? “Please call the village chief, not a child like you.”
It was Kansir, a master of swordsmanship.
“… “The chief is currently leaving the village.”
“Then what about other high-ranking adults?”
“He’s away because he has some business to attend to.”
Jochen made a troubled face.
I noticed the situation.
‘They are hiding because they are the guardians of the rebel army. ‘Isn’t it strange that a remote settlement like this has knight-level skills?’
However, Kansir frowned.
“Didn’t he ignore us on purpose and leave? That’s too much. Okay, bring an adult, not a kid like you!”
“that is… sorry.”
“Uh-huh! “Is this kid arrogant?”
‘That crazy guy?’
I was freaked out.
Perhaps because he was uncomfortable because of what I had done to him throughout the training, he was constantly stepping on landmines.
‘If you touch Johen wrongly, we could all be killed at once!’
Jochen is the rebel’s saint and most important figure, so he is followed by an invisible guard.
‘If we fail, they will kill us all and move us to the settlement.’
I rushed out.
“Do it in moderation. What do you think the meaning of service is? Service means bending down and serving others. If you want to be treated well, go to the Duke of Malvern.”
“!!”
Kansir gritted his teeth and glared at me.
But, I didn’t back down either.
He’s an opponent I beat once. I could become as strong as I could for the weak.
In the end, it was the bastard who gave up.
“… Talking smugly. Just wait and see. I won’t lose in today’s volunteer work. “Anyway, there’s nothing much you, an idiot with insensitivity to mana, can do.”
Swish!
Kansir turned his back and disappeared.
The nonsense he said didn’t bother me at all, but there was another problem.
“Thank you for your help. “I was in trouble, but I survived thanks to Professor Ban.”
Jochen’s bright eyes!
Cold sweat broke out.
“… Please don’t have unnecessary misunderstandings. “It’s just that I don’t like him, and I didn’t really step up for you.”
I hurriedly looked around, but alas.
Instead, I said something that sounded like ‘I’m 200% out for you!’
From Noble mtl dot com
“hehehe, it seems like the professor is a good person.”
“… “It’s an illusion.”
“yes yes. All right.”
I frowned.
I decided to ignore it and just go to work.
‘Actually, the volunteer work I can do is limited due to mana insensitivity.’
But, one thing.
There was something I could do too.
“You’re going to set up defenses in the village?”
“Yes, it will prevent the invasion of simple monsters.”
Of course, a grand magic circle was impossible.
I don’t have enough mana, and more than anything, I won’t be able to maintain it.
However, it was possible with a simple boundary magic circle.
‘Anyway, the monsters that come down to these settlements have to be strong to reach Lv. ‘Because it’s about 1.’
Any place where high-level monsters appear is not a place where people can settle down and live.
‘I’ll do it soon.’
It may have taken a long time to do it alone, but it was a great experience for me… No, there were two graduate students.
Two people, Linden and Hans, followed my instructions and worked hard to set up the magic circle.
“No, uncle! “Don’t mess around!”
“this guy! How dare you say that nonsense?! “I was thinking about how to more perfectly carry out Confucius’ instructions!”
“Do you know that I’m just pretending to think and making jokes?!”
However, Jochen was impressed at another strange point.
“As expected, Professor Ban is different from others. “Are you doing this out of concern that you might harm the village by doing things like hunting monsters like other people?”
“… … .”
Rather, it was just that due to mana insensitivity, he could not stand out much when hunting monsters, so he gave up.
Unless it was completely wiped out on an army or knightly scale, it wouldn’t have been of much help.
“But even if you set up a magic circle, you won’t be able to find the magic stones to maintain it.”
“We will design it so that it can be maintained using the mana contained in the monster’s corpse.”
“… “Is that possible?”
“do. “Because I am anti-Ecclesia.”
Jochen’s expression became strange when he heard my name.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Strangely enough, the professor’s name felt familiar.”
I was stung.
Come to think of it, when I was treating Johen, my name was recited by the Black Flame Dragon.
“… You must have heard it through rumors. “Because my name is famous.”
“No, that’s not it… .”
Jochen tilted his head as if he was remembering, and it was at that moment that I broke into a cold sweat.
It suddenly stopped.
I felt something eerie.
‘… what?’
It felt familiar.
I’ve felt this several times recently.
‘Puppet… No, it’s similar to the feeling I had when the Lord of the Dream woke up during the entrance exam, right? Why all of a sudden?’
I didn’t feel wrong.
Grumbling!!
A loud noise rang out and the ground shook!
It was an earthquake!
“?!”
“aaah!!”
“damage!”
The town was turned upside down!
The hidden rebel guardians appeared.
The guardians couldn’t even think of hiding their identities because the situation was urgent, so they hurriedly opened their mouths.
“Saint Jochen! “You must avoid it.”
“What’s going on?”
“An evil energy has begun to leak out from the center of the plateau!”
My complexion turned white.
It was a phenomenon I was aware of.
It was a premonitory symptom seen when the evil dragon Ashstatt awakens.
‘why?’
Suddenly, the hidden episode ‘The Great Dragon’s Savior’ started.
* * *
I wanted to cry.
‘Why are you doing this again?’
When I went to rescue one problem student, I met a puppet, and when I attended the entrance exam as an examiner, the lord of the dream woke up.
But now it’s a hidden episode?
‘It’s too much! Where can I find something like this?! Knock them all out! I will not!!’
… I wanted to lie down, but the Black Flame Dragon kept me sane even in this situation.
“Can I join in too?”
“Ah, are you Professor Ban? “I heard the professor’s story.”
The leader of the Guardians who had just appeared turned his attention to me.
It was someone I knew.
Rebel leader, ‘Butcher’ Akhtor.
A whopping Lv. It was a graduate level article of 6.
It seemed as if Lyran had heard about me, and unlike his reputation as a butcher, his attitude was polite.
“It looks like there’s a problem with Gowon’s seal.”
“Yes, that’s right. The instruments are leaking out as if the devil is descending.”
“Hmm.”
“You must avoid it immediately. “If the legendary evil dragon truly descends, no one will be able to survive.”
That was correct.
Originally, in this world, the dragon race was not invincible.
Normal Lv. Because it had a strength of about 6-7.
However, Ashtatt, the evil dragon here on the Ranchel Plateau, was different.
Ascension Dragon (昇天龍).
A whopping Lv. Because it was someone who reached level 9.
