113 – Scene 113# Authority
*
“Twist… .”
Mondry clicked his tongue as he walked down the aisle.
A few days ago, during a practical exam for freshmen, there was an incident in which the door to the Demon World ran out of control for an unknown reason.
No one was seriously injured, but 5 students who were taking the exam were trapped inside the gate of the Demon World.
That day was, of course, the day Mondry went on a business trip.
Hearing the news, Mondry hurriedly canceled his schedule and boarded the express train back to school. Because I intuited that this incident was by no means a small incident.
Even he, the president, could not guarantee that he would be able to solve it. He even thought that he might have to borrow the help of his master, Myohail, who escaped the world.
But when Mondri finally returned to school, the situation was already over.
The barrier was destroyed and all the trapped students were revived.
And also by a man he never expected.
Mondry stopped in front of a large door.
It was the office of the president who had absolute power in the school.
I was about to knock, but the door opened as if I had been waiting.
“Come in.”
A low voice greeted him.
“Kuhm… .”
After clearing his throat once, Mondry stepped into the office of the chairman.
In the middle of it, the chairman was sitting.
He was a strangely tired looking man.
His obsidian hair rippled as he looked through the papers.
The look was superfluous and elegant, as if it would appear in a pictorial.
Behind him stood a beautiful woman in an army coat with her hands behind her back.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Did you say escort knight?
Even at first glance, Mondry was a great talent.
The pure magical power she harbored like a speculation was blazing as if it would boil at any moment.
At least she could have noticed that she was a wizard on the level of Mondry, but in the eyes of others, she must have looked like a delicate woman.
“Chairman Tristan.”
“Well.”
Mondry bowed his head respectfully.
I didn’t feel good from bowing my head to him at a very young age.
But I couldn’t help it.
Even in terms of position or family power, nothing could compare to him.
“He even looked after me on my behalf. What should I be thankful for… .”
“No need to thank. I just took care of what happened at my school myself.”
He said it insignificantly, but because of what happened that day, Tristan started to get attention again.
“by the way… . I think the photos came out really well.”
Mondry said, glancing at the newspaper lying on the desk in his office.
It was a picture of Tristan that filled the front page of the newspaper.
The image of him escaping the flames with the girl in his arms was captured in the picture.
And the title of the article was also spectacle.
[The president’s love for students that even the raging fire couldn’t stop.]
Public opinion was praising him unanimously.
Reporters were still camped in front of the school gate. To catch even the smallest of Tristan’s actions.
“The picture didn’t come out well.”
The woman behind Mondrie’s horse boasted.
“I couldn’t express even half of the president’s charm with mere photos.”
“Hello. Shut up.”
At the cold voice, the woman called Helga giggled and covered her mouth.
“For the time being, strictly block outsiders from entering. There might be people who come in looking for coverage. And don’t allow students access to stadiums that are being repaired. Until the cause is identified, access is prohibited except for those involved.”
“All right.”
“Sir, submit the estimated expenses to me. It’s been a while since I came back, but please.”
“it’s okay. hahahaha. Of course that’s what I’m going to do. By the way… .”
said Mondry, stroking his beard.
“There is something I would like to ask the chairman, but… .”
“what?”
“Four of the students trapped in the barrier said they wanted to drop out. Does the chairman know anything?”
“It must have been a terrible experience.”
Tristan responded immediately.
“There was no separate sword of hell inside the barrier.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. The worms there gave off a rotten smell.”
indeed. I barely knew
The monsters beyond the gates of the demon world must have been neglected for a long time.
They probably ate each other and became even more terrifying monsters.
Understanding that, Mondry decided not to ask further details.
Tristan continued quietly.
“Let them do it if they want to. Of course, they can readmit them anytime they want.”
“All right.”
“However, if you want to readmission, tell me to come directly. I will ‘save’ them with my authority.”
“hahahaha… . The Chairman is overflowing with mercy.”
That’s what he said, but Mondry was worried inside.
At this rate, the status of the Ruelberta family would rise significantly.
Shortly after becoming a member of Chilsung, his actions as the chairman were also unusual.
Many nobles still support the imperial family, but they do not know when they will turn their backs.
Because of this, Mondry was nervous.
A servant with greater power than the emperor.
It should never happen.
In order to restore the authority of the falling imperial family, he would have to keep the Ruelberta family in check.
‘But why didn’t His Majesty say anything… .”
Just as Mondry was thinking that, he heard a loud knock on the door.
Bang!
“Is this the chairperson’s office?”
What came through the door was a man’s voice.
No, more than that, how fearless would it be to knock like that on the door of the president’s office at this school?
To the question of the man on the other side of the door, Tristan gave a sullen answer.
“Yes.”
As soon as he answered, the door burst open.
Iron gruck.
Mondry couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes when he saw the man who entered the office with a heavy metal sound.
The man was a knight in red armor.
As far as Mondry knew, there was only one person in the country wearing that armor.
“Tristan Ruelberta, kneel now.”
A young knight of the SS took out a neatly folded letter in front of Tristan and held it up.
“Hurry up and be polite and receive the telegram from His Majesty the Emperor.”
*
‘What is this again… ?’
I was a little dazed and stayed still.
The guards came to deliver the emperor’s telegram.
“What are you doing? Without promptly setting an example.”
A knight of the SS urged me.
However, the body did not move easily.
fear?
no. It can’t be.
This body was rejecting the example.
“If it’s a letter, give it to me and go.”
Before I could even open my mouth, it was Helga who intervened in front of the SS.
“… What did you say now?”
“A telegram is a letter. give it to me.”
“Did you not hear? This is a telegram from His Majesty the Emperor. It is not an ordinary letter.”
“So, this is a letter from His Majesty the Emperor. Our Count does not kneel at scraps of paper.”
“What?! this reckless… !”
The SS trying to pull out the greatsword they were wearing.
But he couldn’t draw his sword.
“?!”
“Think carefully again. Is this really something to bring out the blade?”
What Helga grabbed was his scabbard.
It was just that action, but no matter how desperately the man pulled the sword, it didn’t budge.
The man murmured in front of the leisurely Helga.
“You guys… . What the hell are you doing?”
“I am the Count’s escort knight.”
“An escort knight? Is an escort knight or something trying to block His Majesty’s words?”
“Then I ask the opposite. Did some of the SS dare to ask you to be polite to the Count?”
“What a crazy b*tch… .”
“Crazy b*tch… ?”
Helga said, slightly covering her left eye.
“Would you like to go halfway through… ?”
Seeing that creepy gesture, the SS knight’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“Those eyes… . Are you Aslan’s?!”
The relationship between the emperor’s bodyguard and Aslan of Ruelberta was no different from enmity.
If you were in the SS, you might have heard rumors about Helga.
Even so, it didn’t sound like a good rumor at all, judging from the fact that his face was pale.
“Get out of the way… !”
Eventually, the guards gave up drawing their swords.
However, as a knight of the emperor, he shouted at me as if he had not abandoned his pride.
“Such disrespect even with the title given by His Majesty… ! Count, do you dare to challenge the authority of the imperial family while being a member of Chilseong!”
“Imperial authority… ?”
At that, I snorted.
I didn’t even have to get down on my knees.
Because the authority of the imperial family seemed too ridiculous for me to kneel.
The ‘pride’ inside me was wriggling.
“You say all the funny things.”
I sat still and crossed my legs.
And he said it with a relaxed expression.
“A challenge is what the weak do to the strong. Therefore, it would be right for the imperial family to challenge my authority.”
“what?!”
A vein stood out from the knight’s forehead.
Either way, I continued talking.
“And the reason I entered Chilsung was only for the sake of this country. It is not for the imperial family.”
“This, this reckless man… !”
“Shut up.”
“?!”
My ‘wrath’ brought him to his knees.
I expressed my ‘anger’ towards him with all my might, without any intention of looking at him.
Then he slammed his head on the floor.
“Hey, what is this… !?”
He tried to escape somehow, but he couldn’t.
Because my personality was strong enough to subdue even the knights of the SS.
“Looks like you’re thinking of talking to me now.”
“Kuh… .”
“If you really want to earn my respect, show respect first. A servant of the emperor.”
I looked down coldly at him who forced his head down.
like an evil villain.
“You understand?”
Hah! A transmigator that’s not edgy but prideful enough not to kneel. That’s is very rare.
