7. Terror Notice(Complete)
** 7. Terror Notice(Complete)
A few days have passed since Peer’s warning of terrorism occurred and since the center of Academia was converted into a non-magic zone.
However, contrary to expectations, nothing had happened yet, only the professors and a few students who knew the situation were bleeding. It was a very strange feeling to spend my daily life in a peace that could be broken at any moment.
Especially, the chairman emphasized to me several times.
The war has already begun.
I feel frustrated that I still don’t understand what that means. I’m even thinking that it would be nice if I could fight on the battlefield since my body was all better.
Professor Lisbeth is now in charge of my escort, leaving her old cafe out of business. However, among the cafes I have been to so far, there was no coffee taste that followed Lisbeth’s cafe.
So I stopped by.
She smiled as if Lisbeth was dumbfounded at the unexpected return to her shop.
“Is there a reason you came here other than other cafes?”
“The manager’s coffee is the best at Academia. Unfortunately, no one works here.”
“…Well, can I get you some coffee?”
I didn’t really expect that, but before I could say anything, Lisbeth put on her apron in her familiar manner. Looking at it like that, he looked like a store manager, not a professor.
Asked Lisbeth, who had crossed over the counter before she knew it.
“What about the menu?”
From noble mtl dot com
“The one I always ate.”
“A cafe latte, right?”
Lisbeth hummed her tune as she entered her store.
Even though she used to be a martial arts professor in the past, it seems that she can’t help herself with her recent habits. And she didn’t like Lisbeth either. She’s always been on edge keeping up with the escorts for the fortress, so she’ll need a break like this sometimes.
I also picked a random table in the hall and sat down. I was supposed to wait and look out the window until the coffee was served.
Then the entrance door opened again.
I thought Lisbeth was leaving for a moment, but her footsteps continued into the hall.
When she looked away, Winds was looking around her store with her awkward look. Then our eyes met.
“Huh?”
“…..”
I don’t know why it feels like we meet so often these days.
“Senior, what are you doing here?”
“Ah, well, Lisbeth would not be there, but it was strange that the store was open… “
Winds forced her stiff head back to look inside her store. At that time, the sound of grinding beans came from the kitchen.
Hearing that, Wins nodded as if he had stopped by a cafe as a vigilante leader.
“Hmm, that’s fine.”
Winds turned his back and creaked and creaked toward the entrance.
-…No, now there’s something to be bothered about… You made up… ?
Muttered so quietly to himself, he suddenly sat down at the table across from me. This series of processes was absurdly shameless, and the rest of the snort came out.
“Would you like some coffee, too?”
“Uh. What. That’s how it is.”
Winds answered mechanically and clearly, turning his head towards the counter and shouting. She seemed to be calling for Lisbeth.
“Sister, I am here!”
– Huh? Winnie?
“That Americano!”
-…hahahaha…..
After a moment of silence, Lisbeth’s desolate laughter could be heard from across the corner. It was creepy for some reason, but Wins didn’t seem to have time to care about that.
After that, there was silence for a while, and there was no conversation between us until the manager served us two cups of coffee.
In the first place, we weren’t in a friendly relationship to talk about something.
“Hmm, hmm.”
Since a while ago, I had been staring out the window while smoking, but my legs were shaking again and the table was shaking. This is how the coffee turned upside down.
“…..”
If you’re going to be so awkward, why did you force yourself to sit in the front seat? To think that there would be an idiot who carefully prepared a cushion of thorns and sat down on it.
I had to say one thing.
“Why have you been so restless since before?”
“Huh? Am I okay?”
While saying that, Wins bit the straw in the cold coffee. The casual person seemed to be burning inside, so he sucked it all the way, and the coffee in the glass disappeared.
That’s one shot.
The behavior was funny, so I asked insinuating that I should try pouring some oil.
“When are you going to bring the eggs and tomatoes?”
“Poohyuk!”
Wins, who gently returned the coffee from her mouth to her cup, glared at me with her blushing face.
“You, you… “
“Tell me after wiping anything that spilled in your mouth.”
“Sup.”
Winz, at a loss for what to do, wiped her mouth with her handkerchief and looked at me.
“That… Did you really mean to bring it?”
“You really meant to let go? Your name is the leader of the vigilante?”
“…..”
“The higher you are, the more you have to make sure of these things.”
I briefly recalled the past.
In a time of chaotic warfare, how many top heads promised young people victory in the war and then fled through the back door. Innocent soldiers were ground in order for useless flesh to live for a few more hours.
Since the world has become more and more chaotic as we go, the commanders who betrayed humanity at a cheap price in order to prolong their lives were beheaded by me before they were defeated by the monsters.
I assure you, if you’re learning that lesson to the extent that rotten eggs and tomatoes are mashed into your clothes, you’re trading cheap. If I wanted to, I could have harassed Winds by explaining these things for an hour, but I decided to stop.
What are you fighting with a kid for?
“No, not that…” “
Seeing Wins desperately tie her up, she only smiles.
But when I heard the meaningless excuses, I suddenly had that idea. How old is Wins?
One of the things that surprised me after coming to the middle dimension was that quite a few warriors couldn’t tell their age just by their appearance. It is said that from the moment you come to the middle dimension, your body age will hardly pass, but the principle aside, it was important that you do not age. There were times when I was terrified because the hero who looked like a child was said to be 40 years old.
I have even heard that in a certain dimension, there is a wizard who has succeeded in reconstructing the body beyond the point where the aging of the body has stopped due to the use of mana at its extreme. According to Orien, the surgery I received from the chairman was similar to that.
Anyway, yes.
In the middle dimension, even if you try to catch someone and hit the age, the possibility of failure is remarkably high. This was an unchanging truth limited to the academy.
“How old are you, senior?”
So I asked. While I was curious about it, and while the words slowly started to come and go. Winds, who flinched briefly, answered her question with a question.
“How old are you?”
“How old do you look?”
After thinking about it for a while, Wins casually pointed a dagger at the heart of the person.
“Honestly, when I first saw you, I looked a bit thin and looked like I was in my 30s, but now I’m a little better… Mid-twenties?”
Um.
It was dry at first. Well, it might be a natural thing to say since he rolled the battlefield like that. Still, I lived to hear that I was handsome once…
I said that I would not fight with a child, but within a minute, I couldn’t help but spit it out because my mouth was itching.
“When I first saw you, I thought you were 13 years old. Since he found out he was a vigilante, about fifteen years old?”
“…Are you going to fight?”
“Didn’t you say that you died first?”
“Aren’t you 13 years old anyway?”
“You are greedy. That’s a lot of hitting.”
The engine is starting slowly.
I don’t know what kind of start it was, but we were staring across the table before we knew it.
At that time, Wins said clearly.
“Hey, I can’t. Let’s get older at the same time.”
“Good.”
“Just in case, don’t be ashamed of being exposed later when you say that you are younger.”
“Don’t call seniors because of their age.”
Winds started counting, squinting at her eyes.
“This bastard… one.”
“Two.”
Three.
“Twenty-five.”
“Twenty seven.”
Right after we revealed our cards to each other, we were locked at the same time. For reference, I said twenty-five. Does that mean Wins is twenty-seven with that face?
“Ha.”
It seems that Winds was also shocked.
“What is this kid?”
As soon as she realized she was two years older, her attitude changed. What is it, why are you so upset?
“How about counting by body age?”
“Come now?”
Winds snorted at her.
“Hey, call me older sister.”
“…”
There is no reason to call him that with the excellent avoidance name of senior. I drew the line thoroughly.
“Senior, since you are two years older, let’s not act childishly like this.”
“Huh, who started first?!”
I mentioned Professor Sui, who is synonymous with gentleness. It always came to mind when I saw Windows. A person who is the perfect antipode to Wins, who stands at the apex of frivolity.
“If you have eaten twenty-seven, shouldn’t you have a more calm taste? Like Professor Sui.”
“What?”
At my words, Wins put on a dazed expression for a moment.
“No… no… Wait, how old do you think Professor Sui is now?”
“Uh, sure… “
I suddenly realized that I didn’t even know Professor Sui’s age.
Soft brown ponytails, skin that only looked like someone in their early twenties, and a youthful appearance. I naturally assumed she was my age or her sister.
“Uh uh… “
A terrifying cosmic fear engulfs me. You suddenly start to feel dizzy.
“Oh, no. Wait.”
“Ha, didn’t you know?”
I don’t want to know.
I really thought so.
Seeing my bewildered reaction, Wins raised the corner of her mouth and began to draw closer with her subtle movements. And her voice is lowered to a whisper.
“By the way, if you know Professor Sui’s age, you will also know the store manager’s sister’s age… evil!”
Suddenly, Lisbeth appeared from behind and slammed a bean on the crown of Winds. Winds, who had been hit by her unconsciously, cried out while protecting the top of her head.
“Oh, sister! Keep hitting me!”
“Now I am not a store manager, but a professor. And who told you to reveal such secrets on your own?”
“Because I haven’t done it yet?!”
“Still?”
“Ah.”
On this day, in the end, I didn’t hear how old Professor Sui was. It was thanks to Lisbeth’s restraint.
I lay down to sleep, but I couldn’t sleep for the first time in a long time. The feeling of having a dubious secret right in front of you that you wanted to know but didn’t want to know was going crazy.

The next day, Gared went missing.
