Academy’s Genius Swordsman

< 83. The Great Operation (7) >

#83

The second floor, which was not lit, was enveloped in the quiet moonlight. Illyl’s mouth opened slowly.

“Wow!”

The view of Phileon Academy spread out over the spacious balcony. Originally, visibility was limited due to the wall surrounding the site, but from this house facing the east gate, you could appreciate the beautiful campus.

“Let’s go out and see.”

“Huh? yes···!”

Ronan took Iril to the balcony. The cool night breeze ruffled my hair.

From the elevated field of view, more than usual caught my eye. I could see the street where the students came and go, the street lamps lined up on either side of the road, and I could see the spires piercing the sky and the river running through the middle of the site.

Even at dawn, when the sun had not yet risen, lights were lit everywhere in the Phileon Academy. Ronan, who suddenly raised his index finger, pointed to the building in the corner of the campus. It was the Navardoze House, the dormitory where he was staying.

“I live there.”

“Wow, that’s really close…! Is this the place you told me in a letter last time?”

After checking the distance, Iril’s eyes lit up. In fact, the distance from the Navardoze Pavilion to the new house was only about ten minutes by leaps and bounds.

This was the main reason Ronan chose this house. I liked the intruder prevention magic that was enchanted in five layers, and the secret shelter in the basement. In the end, the best safety measure was proximity.

No matter what happens, I can run within a month, and if I’m in a hurry, I can send a sit-up. Judging by the speed of Sita, it would have taken tens of seconds to get here from the dorm window.

Being able to see where the younger brother was staying at any time was an added bonus for the sister’s psychological stability. Iril, who was enjoying the night view, suddenly spoke with the main voice.

“Thank you, Ronan. really.”

“So, do you like the house?”

“yes. very···!”

Illyl shook her head again and again. Tears of emotion were running down her cheeks. Ronan, who had a slightly chilly nose, avoided his gaze. He quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and sighed in relief.

‘···Finally solved it.’

The work that I had been aiming for since entering Phileon has come to an end. Now it seemed like I could just relax and walk around. As long as he doesn’t develop even a terrible homesickness, there’s no need to go back to Nimburton, far away.

Ronan turned his head, recalling the days when he suddenly faced Schlieffen and chose a house. Whatever his intentions, his child played a major role in saving such a nice house.

Schlieffen was looking at Iril’s back as if possessed by something. Noticing Ronan’s gaze, he hurriedly sighed. Ronan chuckled.

‘An easy-to-understand bastard.’

Sometimes I thought it would be okay to invite him over to my house or ask for Iril’s bodyguard. It’s probably over-motivating. Then Sita, who flew through the night sky, sat on the railing.

“Bye!”

“Are you here?”

According to Ronan’s instructions, he was on the way back after reconnaissance to see if there was anyone following him during the move. Iril opened her eyes and stroked Sita’s head.

“Oh, Sita. Where have you been?”

“Baya~”

“hehehehe, do you like your new house? Now you can come here instead of Nimburton.”

Sita flirted with Iril without any other report. Fortunately, it seemed that nothing had happened. Ronan returned to the room while Iril was playing with Sita. He opened his mouth, looking at Asher and Schlieffen alternately.

“Thank you everyone. Thanks to you, it worked out well.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“Oh, no. There were a lot of things… but I was happy to be able to help.”

Asher added a little. ‘There were many things.’ Ronan giggled and snapped his fingers as if remembering something.

“Oh, you should bring your parents too, Asher.”

“Yes. Anyway, I want to finish it before summer comes.”

“Yeah, ma’am, I thought about it. There is no use in regretting losing everything.”

“Hey, you lose. then···.”

“That’s what it means. Anyway, I will help you unconditionally, so tell me when the time comes.”

Asher nodded shyly. He was also well-prepared to bring his parents to Nimburton.

Now that Nebula Clazier was shivering, it was not known when or what was going to happen. Schlieffen, who was standing with his arms crossed, opened his mouth.

“So when do you unpack?”

“Can’t we do it a little slower?”

“I can’t believe the eyes of a savage like you. Start right now.”

Schlieffen said firmly. They went straight to unpacking and deploying. No matter how little they brought, it was not an easy task to put the living expenses of a house in an appropriate location.

Fortunately, Schlieffen and Asher were there to make the job easier. Schlieffen, who has a great sense of aesthetics, gave instructions, and Asher used telekinesis to arrange the furniture.

“no. If you put a flowerpot there, it spoils the aesthetics. A little further to the right.”

“Well, then, can I leave it here…?”

“It is appropriate. What’s your name?”

“Oh, it’s Asher… yo.”

“Okay, Asher. I heard that I was born and raised in the same village as Ms. Lee, is that true?”

“yes? That, by the way… yo.”

It was an awkward, but well-matched combination. They finished cleaning up by the time the sun came up. When I unpacked all the belongings I brought from Nimburton, the empty house was finally equipped with a living environment.

“Wow, it’s over! Everyone worked so very hard! Let’s go eat!”

A young Seogwang was crossing the kitchen. Iril, who hurrahed, went out to serve breakfast. Since the only ingredients we have right now are potatoes, the menu naturally became potato stew.

“This. Can I really eat it?”

“Stop shivering, scoop it out and eat.”

They sat around a messy wooden table brought from Nimburton and ate. Schlieffen ate the meatless potato stew as if it were wine from the emperor. Seeing this, Iril said excitedly.

“Wow, are you in your mouth? As an aristocrat, I thought you wouldn’t like this kind of thing.”

“very. It’s delicious. That’s pretty much it.”

“hehehehe, there are still many! Eat more!”

Schlieffen nodded. As he received his fifth bowl of potato stew, even a rose of roses appeared on his face. Even the warriors who faced the demon dragon Orsay didn’t seem to have that kind of expression on their face.

병신새끼. Ronan, who was so miffed, quietly went up to the second floor. He ran out of the balcony and took a cigarette out of his pocket.

“I can’t stand this.”

I had to suck it up quickly before it got caught by Iril. He spit out smoke as he watched the students walking to and from the campus. By now, Professor Baren must have gone to work. As Ronan was thinking about various things, a noise suddenly passed through Ronan’s ear.

“···No!”

“ok?”

“···sir! Be patient!”

It was a familiar voice. Ronan turned his head in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, people gathered in a circle as if watching something. Among them, Jaipa’s subordinates, the beasts, sprouted up like scarecrows in a wheat field.

‘Why are those hairy guys there?’

Ronan leaned his torso out of the balcony. At the center of the crowd stood three men and women. Ronan’s expression was wrinkled.

“Damn it.”

Jaipa and Nabirose were facing each other. Daetae also didn’t look very good considering that Urusa was held in Nabirose’s hand. Adeshan in her school uniform hugged her and screamed.

“Instructor, calm down! You can’t do this here!”

“But have you not seen it, Adeshan? That old cat taunts me.”

“It’s just eye contact!”

The mana flowing from Urusa’s sword was almost visible from here as well. Ronan let out a swear word and jumped off the balcony.

“Because I don’t want to be unlucky…!”

If even one of them wielded the wrong sword, it would have been very uninteresting. Ronan, who arrived at the destination quickly, hired the prisoners who were just watching.

“You children, do you have hair on your brain? The whole area seems to be flying away, so why are you just looking around?”

“Kid, little one. Don’t you know who that woman is? You are a former swordsman.”

“How do we get in the way? If it’s the lieutenant, I don’t know…!”

“Oh, it’s useless.”

Ronan stepped forward through the crowd. Before long, the two swords and the restless Adeshan caught my eye. Jaifa, who was silently looking down at her, opened her mouth.

“You still have a fiery temper, Nabirose. I thought it was a bit harmful because I became an educator.”

“Okay, pull out your sword. If possible, I’d rather use your sword instead of that toothpick.”

“Ho Seung-sim lives high, but you know that, right? You cannot defeat me.”

At that moment, the sword of Nabirose disappeared from view. No one but Ronan and Zayfa saw its trajectory. Whoo! As soon as Urusa drew a semicircle in the air, a crescent-shaped sword was shot toward the sky.

A gigantic sword with a diameter of 200m, splitting the puffy clouds that had drifted overhead in half. The onlookers’ faces turned white. An interesting voice came out of Jaifa’s mouth.

“…that’s interesting. I’m a lot stronger than I was back then.”

“Are you ready to try something now?”

“A light exercise might be fine.”

A tendon swelled in Jaipa’s hand holding the Unwoldo. The tails of the beasts were curling up under the bridge.

There was an atmosphere between the two sword castles that seemed to roar and rush towards each other at any moment. It was the car that Nabi Rose was going to set foot on first. Ronan leapt above the crowd and landed between them.

“Damn, what are you bastards doing here?”

“Ronan?”

Adeshan’s eyes widened. Nabirose stopped. The heightened tension was released, and time began to flow as usual. Jaipa, who smiled as if the steam was missing, picked up the Eonwoldo.

“…Is the moving done well?”

“Well, yes.”

“Good. I have to go slowly. I’ve told the lieutenant, so take the bounty from the nearby guards.”

“prize?”

“okay. The old man from Nebula Clazier you killed was a well-known wanted man.”

Jaifa revealed that there was a significant bounty hanging around the neck of the old man who wore the star’s protection.

Ronan nodded. This was another unexpected income. Nabirose, who had been stunned, snarled, aiming the tip of her sword at Zayfa.

“Why are you talking recklessly with my disciple?”

“When you see that you can’t even mix words, you seem to care a lot. It deserves it, though.”

“Don’t turn around. And Issarani, what are you talking about?”

“Listen to that for yourself. Well, this child and the morning star of the Empire all stood on two legs in my greeting. He had good disciples.”

“what?”

Nabi Rose narrowed her brow. It was a car that Jaifa was trying to say something. The crowd split sideways, revealing the lieutenant Wearlion. She saluted Jaifa and opened her mouth.

“Captain. Your Majesty the Emperor has called. I think you should go to the Imperial Palace right away.”

“Damn it, that’s why I was quick to open it… I got it.”

Jaifa clicked his tongue. It was natural, but he didn’t seem to have very good feelings for the emperor. In the first place, it was a relationship that was forcibly connected by a blood pact. The lieutenant who saluted Nabirose also looked down at Ronan and said:

“Thank you for your cooperation in the arrest. Please be sure to accept the bounty.”

“okay. What’s that name? I see you often, but I’ve never heard your name.”

“I am Major Nemea belonging to the Imperial Knights.”

“Wow, that was very elite. I think you’ll get along well with one of our professors, can you introduce me?”

Nemea flinched as if in bewilderment. Ronan smiled at the unworthy behavior. Jaipa took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

“Then I will go. I’m looking forward to the festival of swords, Ronan.”

“A festival of swords?”

Ronan tilted his head at the unfamiliar name. Jaifa did not answer. He moved to the Imperial Palace as if being dragged along with Nemea’s lieutenant and his subordinates.

The fiery giants disappeared from view after a while. Adeshan, who had been standing still for a moment, staggered as if his legs had lost strength. Ronan hurriedly supported her.

“Ah, thank you.”

“what. Why all of a sudden? it’s okay?”

“Ugh…but…in fact, I must have been a little nervous…”

Adeshan’s breathing was rough. Ronan, who realized the cause later, twisted his lips. Jaipa, who caused Fang Night, could be seen as an enemy of Adeshan.

“shit. I don’t know what to do. thank you for your effort.”

“Ugh, I’m really fine now. Thanks for your help.”

Adeshan got up, loosening his support. It was not unreasonable to show such a reaction since we had been standing face to face for a while.

Rather, it was a shame that he did not scream or faint. You are the person who directly contributed to the cause of your parents and older brothers’ deaths. At that time, Nabi Rose, who was still staring into the air, approached Ronan.

“Ronan. Is what the cat said true?”

“yes?”

“I mean, I was greeted and I was standing on my own two feet.”

“Uh… is it? If the greeting is talking about that damned surprise, you’re right.”

Nabirose’s eyes widened. She continued, calming her emotions with a deep breath.

“Tell me everything that happened with that old man. without missing anything.”
