7. Terror Notice
7. Terror warning
An urgent meeting was convened, and each professor attended with a letter.
When I checked, they were all the same letter. On the letterhead containing Pier’s second notice, crooked letters were randomly pasted as before.
The chairman of the board, who was sitting at the top of the table, saw me and called me.
“Oh, you’re here. You will sit there too.”
“Yes.”

We had already talked about certain things before we came here. I didn’t have to attend, but I decided to keep my seat because it was better for the professors to clearly recognize me for future operations.
I can already feel this and that. A scrutinizing gaze, a subtly hostile gaze, and an intriguing gaze.
I don’t think you need to react to each and every response. I quietly sat at the far end of the table.
Professor Sui, who was sitting next to him, nodded slightly. I feel like I haven’t seen you in a long time. Is it because it was right after the major surgery?
Perhaps he was taking a shower, but the person who normally wore brown hair in braids was wet and slightly tousled today. Apparently, he came in a hurry after hearing the news of an emergency call.
“Alem… Something… “
But Sui looked at me with mysterious eyes for a long time. It must have recognized that I had done something unreasonable. An awkward laugh came out naturally.
“hahahaha, that’s how it goes”
“He has become more handsome-“
“Yes?”
“Oh.”
Professor Sui quietly covered his mouth.
“What did you just say?”
“Ah, no. I’m just glad the surgery went well.”
It sure looks healthy.
I looked in the mirror this morning and was shocked. My skin, which had been inevitably dull after rolling on the battlefield for a long time, became elastic and chewy, and all blemishes had been completely eradicated.
At this point, all I can think of is that the stones of the earth brought all of my future health and compressed it into three years. It has 3 years left to live. To be honest, I don’t really feel it, and right now I can only see the good things.
As I was continuing my thoughts, Sui spoke to me quietly.
“Alem, the meeting is about to start.”
“Yes?”
“The seats are almost full.”
While I was lost in my thoughts, professors appeared one after another. Even though they were called in the middle of the night, they had a spleen look. Among the warriors, only those who have the will to protect the middle dimension and academia do not ascend to heaven and become professors.
“Well, it’s almost almost here.”
The chairman finally opened his mouth.
“It looks like everyone received the same letter. Yes?”
In his hand was a peer notice.
“I was arrogant enough to add more requests. But that’s not what’s important.”
He said coolly.
“It means that they simultaneously delivered letters to important people in Academia. Also in different ways. It’s saying that peers have been running around all over the academia on their own, but seriously, it feels like cockroaches are crawling inside of me. It’s creepy.”
The murderous intent of the chairman toward Pier was incomprehensibly dark and gloomy. He was sticky as if he was dealing with a thousand-year-old nemesis.
The professors’ reactions to him were largely divided into two. The one who deeply sympathizes with the heart, the one who understands with the head but is still confused.
The difference between them was clear. It was the difference between the generation that experienced the peer crisis about 15 years ago and the generation after that.
The chairman, who looked at all these reactions, continued.
“As you all know, I’ve lived mostly on the outskirts since the Pier incident. I mean, I’ll try to eradicate it once.”
However, Peer is still slowly spreading his demonic power over Academia. That was revealed under the hot spring through the Phobos Circle incident, and the chairman eventually returned to the center.
“15 Years ago, at that time, during the entrance ceremony, I should have caught the peer who permeated into the middle dimension at all costs. But in the end it failed.”
The words that warriors from peers were never summoned through a normal process.
“Even they are strong. There are few of them, but each of them exceeds even you, who are professors. If there is an all-out war with our peers, we won’t lose, but we’ll have to take a lot of damage instead.”
At those words, some of the new professors quietly raised their eyebrows. The word “Relatively weak” Seemed to stimulate them.
I rested my chin.
“Hmm… “
The day I was kidnapped by the Phobos Circle, I heard that the kid who used strange magic was also called Pea. I don’t know the principle, but it was clear that it was magic that stimulated people’s bad memories. I wondered how many of them would be able to continue the battle after being hit a few times.
The basics of combat are to maintain an intact image. It’s not something I would say, as I’ve already messed up the image once while falling into my mind, but anyway, that’s what the standard is.
No matter how well trained a warrior is, the tip of the sword shakes in a moment of delusion, and that one hesitation kills the warrior. A distraught knight can die from a blind arrow, and a poisonous sewage can plunge a sword into the throat of an unwary strong man.
If there was a confrontation with peers in the future, it was clear that they would push in with a powerful mental attack.
Then can Academia respond at that time?
It seems that the chairman of the board had the same thoughts. He presented a countermeasure that is closest to the correct answer as of now.
“I will turn the center of Academia into a non-magic zone.”
For a moment, the audience was enveloped in silence.
Even Sui, who had been keeping his composure, blankly opened his mouth and looked at his seat of honor. All eyes were drawn to the center of the table. After spitting out bombastic remarks, he emphasized once again.
“There are a few things I realized while dealing with peers, and among them, the non-magic zone can be seen as the main stage for peers.”
“Well, then why are you trying to make the center of Academia a non-magic zone?”
One of the professors raised his hand and asked a question.
That was a valid question. If the chairman’s words are correct, it should have been the other way around, rather than turning Academia into a non-magic zone.
However, the chairman shook his head.
“Even by the standards of the Non-Magic Zone, they’re strong enough. Because besides magic, there is still a means called witchcraft. However, it is safe to say that the nightmare begins the moment you use your magic.”
After saying that, the chairman unfolded the scroll in his bosom. It was a piece of paper large enough to cover the table.
-Shamanism
Bambie (Fire that never goes out)
-Highest level of danger, immediately escape upon encounter
Lich (Undead Parasol)
-The undead army is in the outskirts, and the warriors of the academia are in confrontation
Blur (trauma stimulus)
-Remind User
-Physical system
Uggi (predation, strength)
-Able to eat anything, strong melee combat
Chaser (Stealth, Recon, Pursuit, Sniper, Clone)
– Versatile Stalker
-Phenomena
Lost (space movement)
-Spatial movement so fast that countermeasures are impossible
On the white paper, along with various pictures, their special details were written one after another. It was accompanied by the explanation of the chairman.
“This is rough information about them. Broadly divided into three types. The shamanic world, the physical world, and the phenomenal world. Among them, only the physical system can use its power even in the non-magic zone. It is safe to say that the phenomenal world cannot use its power at all, and the shaman world greatly reduces its power.”
There was a strong persuasive power in the words of the chairman who had confronted peers for a long time.
Everyone looked at the scroll spread out on the table and nodded.
“I’ll make the center of Academia into a non-magic zone, attach guards to Alem, and wait. That way we’ll see how they come out.”
The chairman spread his two fingers.
“If nothing happens, I will cancel the non-magic zone, send Alem to the non-magical zone in the outskirts of the middle dimension, and then do the same. However, if someone tries to stage a terrorist attack, then it is safe to assume that a war will begin.”
A professor asked a question.
“Chairman, then which professor is in charge of Alem’s security… “
“I already found the right person for that matter.”
As soon as the chairman finished speaking, the door to the meeting room opened.
In-young approached me, making the sound of her shoes clicking again and again. The eyes of the professors gathered behind my back, and they slowly opened their mouths in amazement. Sui, who was aware of the situation, only laughed beside me.
I looked back. There, there was the manager I had seen at the cafe before.
The chairman calmly recited the contents.
“Lisbeth, a former martial arts professor, as of today, she serves as the professor in charge of the peer response class, while protecting the safety of Alem, a hero from Eros.”
