To be exact, they were a clan of assassins.
“Have you been cursed by the Demon Lord?”
“I had secret business with the demons, so I went to the demon temple, but an accident occurred and I was cursed.”
That secret business was an assassination request, and I could bet my new dragon daughter on it.
“please! Our clan must repay the favor! Please allow me to become your servant!”
I was appalled when I saw her not only kneeling down but ready to hit her head on the floor.
‘You’re taking the strongest assassin clan as your servant. Never… .’
For a moment, I blinked.
‘… Is there anything that won’t work?’
The reason Amanda was doing this was because of the clan’s laws, so there was no need to worry about betraying her.
On the contrary, it was like gaining the most reliable subordinate.
‘… ‘He’s probably much more reliable than Hans or Linden.’
The problem was that it felt uncomfortable.
‘If you make a mistake, you could end up entangled with the Sun and Moon clan.’
The Sun Moon Clan was also a force that played a part in the scenario.
One of the 16 main characters was also from the Sun and Moon tribe.
‘Yes, it’s a shame, but let’s give up. Anyway, Hans and Linden are enough for me… There’s no way you can do it. ‘Damn it.’
I was silent for a moment.
Thinking about the pitiful images of the two of them, I suddenly felt like giving up on Amanda was a huge waste.
In the end, I came up with a trick.
“refuse. “Having someone like you as a servant will only cause trouble.”
“ah… !”
Amanda’s eyes were colored with disappointment.
Of course, my story wasn’t over.
He continued speaking urgently.
“However, if you want to return the favor, I can’t force you to do that. Since we are both fellow professors, I will help you when you need it.”
I don’t want a deep relationship, but I’ll accept your help!
“Thank you, benefactor! Is there anything you need right now? “Please tell me anything!”
I thought for a moment as I looked at Amanda’s loyal eyes.
In fact, there was exactly the help I needed right now.
“… “Can you retrieve the monster’s body?”
“of course. They want to use it as material for magic research. Just say the word. “I will get you manticores, hydras, griffins, and any high-level monsters.”
“… That’s okay, the flesh should be soft. So, it’s easy to chew.”
“… … ??”
“And you, where is your home? “Is there a yard?”
“You got it in District 1? There is also a yard. “Why is that?”
After all, a rich assassin clan.
I got a house in District 1, the most expensive area in the Free City.
‘I’m in District 5, next to the slums. It’s also a single room.’
If you are envious, you lose.
“Why… .”
It was difficult to explain why, so I hesitated, but a small face suddenly popped out of my arms.
-Kyuyu!
“!!”
Looking at Amanda’s startled eyes, I sighed.
“… Please take care of this child for a moment. “Just until I get a new house.”
Where I live now is sensitive to noise between floors, so it wasn’t an environment where I could have a baby dragon.
‘Fortunately, the dragon race is a clan of solitude, so they grow up on their own and don’t particularly look for their mom and dad.’
When dragons raise children, they prepare a nest for them and then leave them alone.
They only protect it from a distance, out of sight, and let it grow alone.
‘Are you saying that in solitude we can realize and grow on our own? ‘I don’t understand it with human common sense.’
It was fortunate for me.
however,
-Kyuyu?
As I was about to leave, the baby dragon tilted its head and let out a cry.
“… “I have to go.”
-Kyuyu?
“… “My house is too small for you to come.”
-… Kuyu.
A cry that somehow sounds sad.
“… The wood on the floor is all rotten, so it will make a lot of noise every time you walk. “The mercenary living downstairs has a dirty personality and I won’t tolerate it.”
-Pad-da-dak!
Surprisingly, the baby dragon seemed to have understood what I said, as soon as I said that, it jumped down and started walking quietly.
– Kuyukuyu.
I will be careful and cry as if to ask you not to abandon me.
In the end, I said something I regret.
“… “If you leave it to us, it’s a cancellation.”
“Benefactor?”
“Instead, please get me a soundproof magic tool.”
Amanda nodded.
“As expected, the benefactor is a warm person.”
“… no.”
“I have had the opportunity to meet baby dragons many times while working as a descendant of the Sun and Moon tribe, but this is the first time I have seen them so happy.”
-Kyuyu!
Just as Amanda said, the baby dragon was rubbing its face against me and smiling excitedly. It wasn’t some kind of dragon, but looked like a baby puppy.
I made a complicated face.
‘I can’t help it. It would be troublesome if, if left unattended, it becomes crooked and grows into a female dragon of destruction.’
So, it was a choice I made because I was worried about the future of the world, not because I was reminded of myself in the past, when I grew up neglected by my parents.
‘Anyway, it’s the new semester soon.’
I looked away.
A quiet academy campus without students.
That will change in a few days.
It was the beginning of a new semester.
This means that the scenario has finally come to an end.
Now it was time for the protagonists.
* * *
The protagonists’ time.
It wasn’t a wrong expression.
To be precise, it could be seen as students’ time.
No matter what anyone says, the main players of the academy are the students.
In fact, as the new semester approached, people were paying attention to students.
“In any academy, there are many great new students.”
“Yes, Rubiness Academy is also a contender this time.”
“Not only the direct descendants of the magic and swordsmanship masters, but also the disciple of the Light Dragon and the son of the Margrave of the North Sea chose Rubiness Academy.”
“Is that all? Although it is unofficial, ‘him’ in the imperial palace has also decided to enroll in Rubiness Academy.”
“Huh, the ‘him’ of the imperial palace? Really? “His Majesty the Second Prince must feel uncomfortable.”
The Academy’s role in imperial society is enormous.
Numerous connections are made through the academy, and all kinds of cultural and social activities take place in connection with the academy.
The Academy was not called the flower of the empire for nothing.
Everyone was interested in who would be admitted as a freshman and who would stand out.
It could be seen as ‘entertainment’.
There are many media outlets that specialize only in Academy Awards gossip.
However, it wasn’t just freshmen that people paid attention to.
“Did Rubines Academy also say that the new faculty members are gorgeous this time?”
“I heard that, but it didn’t seem like there was anything special about it, contrary to what I expected. “I can’t believe Confucius Banregi is the head of training and education.”
“You’re worse than half a Confucius. “I think everyone was just putting on a show.”
The class’s evaluation among people was still poor.
However, not everyone thought that way.
“Maybe it’s true that anti-Confucius has changed.”
“Oh, really?”
“Of course, I don’t believe it either, but I keep hearing similar news.”
Of course, this reaction was only partial.
The majority reaction was this:
“Couldn’t the Duke of Ecclesia have broken family tradition and manipulated the media?”
“Yes, I believe it has to be appropriate. “If you only heard the rumors, you would think that Confucius Ban was some kind of legendary genius.”
I couldn’t help it.
Because I’ve known my class as trash for over 10 years. The roots of prejudice were deep and deep.
However, there were some who looked at the class from a completely different perspective.
“… “It seems that the unknown star in the Heavenly Ark of Prophecy is Ban Confucius.”
It was Second Prince Renius, the apostle of Ouroboros!
“This is difficult. What kind of variable will anti-Confucianism be? “I can’t leave it alone.”
“Would you like to use your own hands?”
The 2nd Prince shook his head in response to his subordinate’s question.
“You can’t do that. There’s no need for that. “I plan to stab the anti-Confucius’ weakness.”
“What if it’s a weakness?”
“It is character.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“!!”
Second Prince Renius twitched the corner of his mouth.
“Even if Confucius Ban is a genius who has not been accrued, he still has weaknesses that cannot be overcome. “It is a bleak personality that cannot be tolerated.”
Suha nodded.
It wasn’t called Banregi for nothing.
“The class is not students, but professors. What a professor needs is not just outstanding skills. There is no way that someone like Ban could play the role of a professor properly. Please give the following instructions to the Minister of Education, the Marquis Maximum.”
After hearing the second prince’s instructions, Suha nodded with an expression of admiration.
It was a ruse that Ban’s humanity could never overcome.
“This time, Ban will be removed from Rubiness Academy.”
An official letter from the Ministry of Education was sent to Rubiness Academy along with the confident voice of the 2nd Prince.
* * *
The entrance ceremony day has finally arrived.
‘This is the appearance of the main characters.’
Soon the doors to the auditorium will open and the students who will attend the entrance ceremony will enter.
I waited with excitement and a mixture of anticipation and anxiety to see the students.
‘Indeed, what kind of main characters entered the school?’
In addition to Catherine and Rivelle, the main characters would have entered one each of the knight department, the liberal arts department, and the auxiliary department.
‘Please avoid the urethra.’
He was the main protagonist of the Faculty of Liberal Arts.
Just thinking about the urethra gave me a chill.
‘You should also avoid villain-type protagonists. In particular, ‘massacre’ is a no-no.’
For reference, the 16 main characters are classified as follows.
Four main protagonists.
Four sub-main protagonists.
Four supporting protagonists.
Four villain-type protagonists.
What I wanted was the four supporting characters.
His role in the scenario is small, and the ups and downs he experiences are gentle.
‘Otherwise, the sub-main characters are pretty good.’
The worst were the main protagonists and villain-type protagonists.
Especially villain-type protagonists.
As the name suggests, the default setting in the scenario was the villain.
If they are not ‘rehabilitated’, they will act as villains. Even as a terrible super-named villain.
‘Especially in cases like ‘Massacre’, it’s the worst. Given the background, rehabilitation is almost impossible, and preventing evil deeds is extremely difficult.’
“Students enter!!”
Finally, students started coming in and soon I noticed a familiar face.
A boy as handsome as a statue.
‘Terne of the famous swordsman.’
He was the sub-main protagonist of the Knight School.
He wasn’t my favorite protagonist because he seemed too drawn and had a strong personality, but I could still say he wasn’t bad.
Next, the ‘named students’ came into view.
‘They play an important role in the Rubines scenario.’
The problem was the other main characters.
‘… ‘Why can’t I see the other two?’
There should be one person each in the liberal arts and auxiliary departments, but there was none to be seen.
‘There must have been one person assigned to each department, right? why?’
At that moment, an ominous chill ran down my spine.
‘… Did you really miss the entrance ceremony? ‘Both of the other main characters?’
Entrance ceremony tinkle.
Although it was generally difficult to imagine, it was quite possible for the protagonists.
‘There are many protagonists with unfaithful personalities.’
There are more than 5 candidates who immediately come to mind.
The problem is that most of those candidates are bombs that must be avoided.
‘… Both Yodo and Slaughter had extremely unfaithful personalities.’
