Academy’s Genius Swordsman

39. Rhodolan (1)

#39

Ronan succeeded in capturing Cyrilla and Eduon. They were led and carried away by the hands of the soldiers who followed. The soldiers took basic measures to prevent Cyrilla from dying during her arrest.

“The elf is bleeding profusely. Bring potions and bandages.”

Below Cyrilla’s left knee was neatly cut off. Her bleeding stopped only after pouring a potion.

“Hey, what the hell is this? Are your limbs growing?”

On the other hand, no such action was taken for Eduon. Tentacles like buds were protruding from the place where his limbs were.

The soldiers who carried Eduon on stretchers became contemplative. Ronan approached and snatched the torch that one of the soldiers was holding.

“Give it to me.”

“Oh!”

Chi profit! Ronan lit all four cuts with a torch. Ughhhhhh…! A moan of pain escaped from the mouth of the fainted Eduon. The struggled tentacles shrank and stopped playing.

It was a scene where the taste of rice was dripping. Ronan spit on the floor and muttered.

“Nimi, is this some kind of magic?”

“I don’t know because I don’t have any knowledge in this area either.”

“No matter how wonderful magic is, I don’t want to learn anything like this. But where are these cubs going? There is something I must ask.”

“Well, it’s a crime against the Empire, not the individual, so I’ll probably be escorted to Rodolan right away.”

“Rhodolan? A prison floating in that sunrise?”

“okay. The interrogators there will vomit everything they know.”

Ronan was also familiar with this place. Screaming Fortress Rodolan. A place where criminals who have harmed the Empire are imprisoned and interrogated without cries and tears.

The interrogators of Rodolan, who work with sadism and tenacity as their basic skills, said that they literally ‘by all means’ to get the confessions of the suspects.

“If you are uneasy, I will arrange a separate meeting for you, so don’t worry too much.”

“Damn… you look great today, Instructor. Really.”

That looks great. Hearing those words, Nabirose’s eyes widened for an instant. She snorted and pointed to La Mancha with the tip of her chin.

“Heh, by the way, what a unique sword. Did the master doron make it?”

“yes. Will you kill me?”

Nabirose affirmed in silence. The energy emanating from the sword was unusual. If it weren’t for the body as an instructor, I would have wanted to try changing it and swinging it later.

“Anyway, you worked hard, Ronan. The work you and your friends have made will be reported to the principal as soon as they return.”

“I just did it because I could.”

“It may not be possible to win an award in a vacant place because it happened in a secret place, but there will definitely be a separate congratulations. As someone who took care of Gran Cappadocia, thank you.”

Nabirose smiled brightly. The crooked corners of his eyes were sullen. After all, it was the first time I saw him smiling properly.

Maybe he’s a really nice guy like Adeshan said. With that thought in mind, Ronan supported Eduon’s limbs with a torch once more. Chi profit!

“Uhhhhhhhh…!”

Ronan headed to Gran Cappadocia with Nabirose. Rescue work was in full swing in the ruined forge. Phileon’s educators and the imperial army dressed in light were busy moving people and supplies.

“there! Let’s clear the wreckage first. Be careful not to damage the equipment that is still in good condition.”

“Yep! Major Avar! I’m happy to see you even like this!”

“Sometime after you’ve been discharged from the military, what’s the Major… Come on, let’s do our best!”

Avar, the Imperial swordsman instructor, was commanding the soldiers. Dozens of animal-shaped spirits were carrying the wreckage. An elf with a pierced ear, presumed to be a spirit, was watching the scene with a long cigarette.

“Wah ha ha ha! You still can’t afford it, little brother. I haven’t seen you in a long time, what’s this?”

I also saw the appearance of the hunting instructor Gidokan. He chuckled as he handed Didican a glass of water, leaning against the wall. It was impressive to see Didican, who was much larger, behaved respectfully in the world.

“I’m sorry, bro.”

“I’m sorry! If you like it, I’d like to teach you the kidokan style self-defense right away…but now I have to go down there. Maybe there are still people left!”

“Your brother is always full of energy. Have a hard time…”

Prayer Khan, who was snoring, ran towards the mine. He was making a significant contribution to finding the wounded, as Ronan expected.

Didican, who met Ronan’s eyes, raised his hand to greet him.

“Oh, Ronan. Have you met the king of the cave giants?”

“There was something bigger. We also found a new site for Gran Cappadocia.”

“Site···?”

Seeing Didi Khan’s whereabouts, Ronan grinned. He still looked haggard, but most of the wounds on his body were gone.

Maybe Sita fixed it. Didican said, pointing his thumb to a corner of the ruins.

“Oh, your friends are gathered over there. I was indescribably indebted to you. Thank you so much.”

“All right, man, you saved Doron.”

“It’s not just because of Doron inspiration. A lot of people were injured, but few died.”

Suddenly, Didi Khan got up, shaking his legs. He bowed in half and thanked Ronan.

“You saved the future of smelting as well as Gran Cappadocia. Thank you very much. I will not forget.”

It was a huge thank you. Ronan smiled once, then headed to the place Didi Khan had spoken to.

It was a place to lay the wounded who had not yet been moved to the ground. The wounded were lying groaning on long rows of bulkheads.

“Can I leave it over there?”

“Yeah, yes. The young lady is still very strong…”

Before long, I saw Marya carrying five boxes of relief supplies. When she found Ronan, she shouted warmly.

“Ronan, you are alive!”

“Then are you alive or dead?”

Marya put the box down. She approached with her arms wide open and hugged Ronan.

“Why are you hurt so much?”

“I took the giant’s fist with a sword.”

“You’re making strange noises again…”

“But can’t you just let it go, miss? I really want to die.”

He was suffocating because of his large chest. With her face blushing, Marya hurriedly left. Ronan looked around the scene and patted her on the shoulder.

“Good work. I brought a lot.”

“yes. Everyone took their work more seriously than they thought, so I did something… well worth it. What exactly happened down there?”

“I’ll explain it properly when I get back. It’s a long story.”

“Ah, you suffer!”

Ronan, who passed Marya, followed the giant. Asher and Sita lay side by side in the most necked position. Ronan squatted down on their bedside.

“Good job.”

“Heh Uhhhhhhhhhh… Ronan?”

“Piyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

Both of them appeared to be clearly exhausted. It was due to the excessive use of energy in the rescue operation. Ronan continued to speak while scratching Sita’s stomach.

“My skills improved, Asher. The Archmage was just there.”

“Oh, no… I am nothing…”

“At times like this, be proud of yourself, man. Without you, all those dwarfs would have been dug in the ground without having to dig their graves.”

“That, like that…”

“It was possible thanks to you and Marya. Thank you for following me from Nimburton. Asher.”

Ronan said quietly. Water filled Asher’s large eyes. Sita, who was rolling around with her wings outstretched, cried out as if she was sad.

“Byeah!”

“Sita, you too.”

It was he who killed the giants and removed the culprit, but the sword is only a sword. It would not have been possible without the help of the people around me. Recognizing the importance of talent again, Ronan said with a smile.

“Then I will go. I am resting.”

“Uh… where are you going?”

“I have two bastards hanging out.”

Ronan followed Nabirose and the soldiers in charge of the escort to the ground.

After walking for about an hour up and down the winding road, an open night sky unfolded before my eyes. The wind that swept through the lungs was incomparably refreshing compared to the underground ones.

“here is···.”

A turquoise forest swayed beneath the distant cliffs. Ronan’s eyes widened at the scene where he felt a sense of déjà vu. Stopped by when visiting the Penardo Fountain. It was the Shemo Forest near the archipelago.

“The time has come to come…”

The officer in charge of the escort looked at the pocket watch. Suddenly, something huge flew from the other side of the night sky. It was a convoy dispatched from Rodolan, pulled by two griffons.

– Pyuoooooooo!

“No kidding, really.”

Ronan saw the griffon and stuck out his tongue. The guards dispatched from Rodolan were all dressed in black clothes and wearing a mask in the shape of a bird’s beak.

They put additional restraints on Cyrilla and Eduon, who had already become assholes. Cyrilla, who woke up late, opened her eyes wide and shouted something.

“Jamka···················· Eup !!”

hooked. One of the guards saw this and put a syringe into Cyrilla’s neck. As the green drug flowed in, Cyrilla lowered her head.

The handover was completed in less than five minutes. The guards, who remained silent until the end, got into the convoy with the two men. Ronan shook his head as if tired.

“They are very quiet people. I wouldn’t be welcomed at a party or something.”

“You know how to distinguish unnecessary actions.”

The soldiers faltered and retreated from the wind pressure generated as the griffon flew away. Ronan was relieved only after the convoy vanished as a dot.

Ronan returned to Gran Cappadocia to help people. The rescue operation was completed around noon the next day.

“I’m here, Lucy…”

“Oh! Why are you like that Molgol? What happened?”

“I’m going to sleep for a bit… well… I take off my socks…”

dump. Ronan returned to the dormitory with a scruffy pace and fell on the bed. He was able to shake off the fatigue that had accumulated in his body only after sleeping, which spread throughout the day.

“…what is this, this?”

After two days, Ronan woke up with Sita and a letter lying on the bedside of Ronan. Ronan yawned loosely and ripped the seal off.

Ronan’s eyes widened as he read the letter slowly.

“···already?”

A letter from Rodolan informed the end of the interrogation of the two men.

****

The sound of the waves was harsh. A salty sea breeze ruffled his hair. An elderly man who came out to meet me bowed his back and greeted me.

“Both of you worked very hard to come a long way. Weren’t you uncomfortable?”

“Okay.”

“It wasn’t bad. I almost had my ass split horizontally.”

Nabirose kept her promise to make room.

The afternoon of the day the letter was received. Ronan and Nabirose moved to Rodolan in a vehicle pulled by Griffon. The ride was the worst, but I could endure it thanks to the beautiful sunrise from the sky.

“I’m happy. Then follow me.”

The old man with a soft smile turned around. A bird beak mask was hung from the waist of the man dressed in black, which was different from what the guards had worn before. said Nabirose.

“I am an interrogator, not a jailer. Of the many nightmares a prisoner of Rodolan must have, it is the most terrifying.”

“Nimi, are you an inspiration who likes people like that?”

“Don’t you know that you can’t judge the world by appearance alone. By the way, I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing.”

“why?”

“Even if you think about it a thousand times, it is not a place to bring students. If it wasn’t for you who caught them, I wouldn’t have brought you no matter what.”

Nabirose frowned as if displeased. Ronan raised his head and looked at the screaming Fortress Rodolan. Rising out of the middle of the sea, this gigantic, spiky structure looked like a reef capable of stranding any vessel.

When the door of Rodolan opened, an unexpectedly stylish and neat space caught my eye. Ronan thought this was a pretty decent job. However, limited to the deaf.

Ripped screams and sobs echoed from all directions.

“Ahhhhhh! Stop, stop!!”

“Kill me, please kill me…!”

“Hey hee hee hee hee …”

Ronan followed the man to the depths of the fortress. On either side of the long hallway were thick iron gates. Different screams could be heard from beyond each door.

I must have walked for about thirty minutes along a maze-like path. Finally, the old man stopped walking.

“Im here.”

In front of him hung a door that looked much thicker and stronger than he had ever seen. The old man with a long, complex-looking key turned to the two of them and said:

“A formal document will be reported at a later date, but first I will give a brief summary of what I found out on Rodolan. Nebula Clazier. That is the name of their organization.”

“Nebula clazier?”

Ronan tilted his head. It was a name I had never heard in my previous life.

“yes. They were behind the large-scale accidents of unknown cause that took place all over the continent over the past year. Cross-validation has been clearly completed, such as the great fire that swept through the Nalanda granary, and the explosion that took place at the Engineering Lab Etemen.”

The old man is Cyrilla and Eduon. So, I listed the crimes committed by Nebula Clazier. All of them were felonies that could have a significant impact on a particular field. After hearing the old man’s explanation, Ronan raised his hand and asked a question.

“Did you ever even say what ‘the coming of the stars’ was?”

“That’s… the first time I’ve heard of it. Was there anything like that?”

“okay? they’re fucking bastards I ask what.”

“Oh, I thought I spit it all out, but there’s still something I’ve been hiding…”

A crack-like smile appeared on the old man’s face. Ronan almost put his hand on the hilt of the sword in the eerie energy that had flown in for a moment.

He put the bird beak mask on his face. It was a mask reminiscent of an eagle digging up a corpse.

“I feel sorry for the old woman. I don’t know Nabirose-sama, but Ronan-sama is still a young student. I am afraid that it may shock the young mind. Are you really okay?”

“I was the one who cut off the limbs of those kites.”

“Fufufu… it will be a different look than it was back then.”

The old man did not ask any further questions and put the key in the doorhole. The door opened with the sound of dozens of locks moving. A terrifying groan that could hardly be believed to have been made by a human could be heard quietly.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

“Shut up! Turn it off…”

“Fuck.”

Ronan, seeing the appearance of Eduon and Cyril, narrowed his brows. Showing it to 100 people was so terrible that ninety-nine people, excluding the blind, would vomit or faint.

A playful voice rang out from under the Inquisitor’s bird beak mask.

“Did you have good dreams?”
