Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

98 – Subjugation of Ella (1)

The director’s office is wide open with glass windows on all sides.

A little exaggerated, at that high place, closer to the clouds than the ground, the cheerful sound of a chess piece striking the chess board resounded.

“Hmm.”

Ella was playing chess alone.

A black piece has only one queen, but a white piece consists of a king, a knight, and a pawn.

It can be seen that black has already lost at the point the king disappeared, but Ella moved the queen around and aimed for the white king.

Of course, it is impossible for a queen to create a checkmate by herself.

No matter how free the queen is, she cannot take the king’s life if there is a pawn guarding the king who can only move one square.

“As expected, I can’t do it alone.”

Ella quietly looked out of her chessboard.

There were already some black horses that had been killed, but she put the knight and rook back on her board.

So the chess continued.

The black horse’s one-sided attack continued, and the white horses endured the attack and died one by one.

It was only after taking the life of the knight who stood by the king until the end, that the black horses surrounded the king, unable to move.

Ella lifted the black queen and knocked down the frozen white king with a faint smile.

“Enough.”

The brain simulation is roughly over.

Two people.

With just two more, it’s enough to defeat the escort knight, Alessia, and Heidel’s enlisted men, and take care of Sylvia.

After finishing her judgment, Ella pushed her chair and stood up.

I went to the shelf right next to the desk and pulled the end of a book with my fingers, and the shelf moved sideways with a small earth quake.

The cool midwinter air leaked from the crack.

Stepping on the white seaweed on the floor, Ella stepped through her secret door.

The place I entered was a small room with two coffins placed in a space with white walls.

Ella looked down at the clear glass tube with her melancholy eyes.

“…… It was just a joke before.”

From noble mtl dot com

In the transparent glass coffin were two well-preserved corpses.

One is an old woman with wrinkles on her face.

Even after he died, he was holding a sword the size of his body in his bosom, and from that appearance, he could get a glimpse of his affection for the sword he was using.

The other is a woman with dragon horns sprouting from her head.

Her body had traces of artificial filling of holes, and soil was occasionally visible as if she had dug up something buried in the ground.

The Sword Master and the Sage Raviel.

Once upon a time they were Ella’s colleagues.

One was sent first due to race differences, and Ella killed one, but she still treasured them both.

And now it was time to save them, like a joke I once made to a professor in an open practice.

As I said at the time, since the corpse was stored well, it won’t come back to life as a bare-bones undead.

“It’s been a while since we fought together.”

Ella bites the tip of her finger and paints her magic circle with red blood.

What I draw is the same type of magic circle that Anastasia drew when she was reviving the monster buried in the academy.

In other words, it was the magic circle of resurrection.

* * *

I got help from Anastasia and Lucy.

All that was left was to devise a strategy for fighting Ella based on the information I heard from Heidel.

It was not long before the day to go to fight Ella, Tina’s enemy.

“…… Hmm… ….”

Sitting on his chair, Adele tapped the desk with his pen and drool.

Where should I fight to gain an advantage?

Isn’t there a need for a magic circle that should be installed in advance?

How to distribute power to finish without dying.

It was because I was deeply troubled because I couldn’t easily think of those things.

“Too many things to think about.”

Adele rested her chin on Tina’s head, which was resting on his lap.

Tina “Eek.” It made a noise and squeaked, but I didn’t care.

He didn’t protest anything in particular, so it was accepted as being okay.

“Ha ha.”

She let out a sigh and wrapped her arms around Tina’s waist as if holding her teddy bear.

For a moment, Tina flinched at her body, but she didn’t show any displeasure this time and stayed still.

If she didn’t feel the warm body temperature, she didn’t even move to the point where she would mistakenly think she was holding a doll.

“I would have told you not to be fiery before, but these days you don’t.”

“Uh… ….”

At that time, I only felt hot when we were together, but now I have dark feelings for this natural skinship.

Tina, who naturally couldn’t answer, came up with a natural answer in her taut brain.

“Isn’t the young master having a hard time because of Tina? It is a small reward for that.”

“Is this a reward?”

“Don’t like it?”

“It’s nice, but it’s a misleading answer.”

Because being able to freely touch a little girl’s body is a reward…….

It was clear that she would have looked at Adele with contempt if someone had heard of it.

She thinks so.

“Boss, let’s do it while eating some snacks.”

The door opened and Charlotte entered the room with a basket of freshly baked cookies and a drink in her hand.

“Huh! No, this…… !”

“Billion…… !”

Tina, who was still with impure intentions at her appearance, was startled and jumped up, causing Adele, who was resting her chin on Tina’s head, to hit her chin straight.

The good news was that she didn’t chew on her tongue as Adele kept her mouth shut.

“What is not?”

Fortunately, Charlotte didn’t notice anything strange, so she put the things she had brought on her table, and she examined Adele’s reddened chin.

“Oh, nothing…… !”

“He stutters to the end. Anyone who sees it will think she’s making a fuss because she’s done something wrong.”

“Tina did nothing wrong…… !”

Not realizing that that answer would rather create a suspicious situation, Tina just stood tall and answered like a machine.

She’s still on her nerves these days because of the women who cling to Adele like worms on fire. Because it was unknown.

That might not end with the punishment of getting her on her knees and raising her arms over her head.

At worst, she might be assassinated under the guise of a natural death…….

Thinking that far, goosebumps ran down her arms and Tina shivered.

“You keep saying that, so it’s suspicious?”

Tina rolled her pupils to avoid Charlotte’s gaze, her narrow eyes examining her.

Even if they were beastmen, there was wolf blood in their blood, so their behavior when they made a mistake was no different from that of dogs.

“… ….”

At this point, Charlotte felt that she was out of place and turned her head 90 degrees to see Tina’s face, who couldn’t see her eyes.

Feeling cold sweat running down her back at her bloody gaze, Tina lowered her head as much as possible to avoid eye contact with her.

But she can’t escape forever.

The moment Tina, who couldn’t keep her head down any longer, decided that it was wrong, and closed her eyes tightly.

“Better Charlotte.”

She raised her head, which Charlotte had lowered, at the words of Adele, who was quietly eating cookies.

“Yes.”

“You will fall in this time.”

“Yes?”

Charlotte blinked her eyes and made a blank sound.

Because Adele’s escort feels like her mission to fall into herself is an obstacle worse than your absence.

But that was not what Adele meant.

“Didn’t you do that? It’s like I’m not alone anymore.”

“It was definitely a cycle, but it passed without incident, but not to the extent of concluding.”

“If there is even the slightest chance of that happening, it is right to drop out.”

To be honest, Adele was almost certain.

I’ve been doing it every single day, so unless there’s a problem with one or the other, it would be right to assume that it’s almost certain.

“But… ….”

“I don’t listen to disagreements. And I’m going to share your work with others, so take a good rest from now on.”

She didn’t like the idea of sending her Adele to a dangerous place where her life was at stake without her own escort, but Adele’s firm attitude made Charlotte reluctantly nod her head.

In the end, she accepted it as quickly as possible because she knew that if she insisted, she would be the loser.

“…… Yes.”

“Yeah, I wish I knew.”

After filling the sugar with the cookie, Adele picked up the pen again.

Originally, even if you put something like a concave, just like the people watching the game have a wider field of view than those who directly participated in the game, after talking for a while to change my mind, I felt like my field of vision was wide open, so I thought I would come up with a way now.

The moment you try to think about it after writing down a piece of strategy that has not yet been put together and just came to mind.

─ Smart.

A knock was heard.

The direction the knock was heard was not the usual door leading to the hallway.

It was on the side of the window leading to the balcony.

“… ….”

As Adele turned her head, the masked man standing on her balcony dropped her on one knee and bowed her head.

“Who are you?”

“I am the one who secretly escorted the saintess from the academy according to the head of the household.”

Dark red blood flowed through the man’s mask and covered his face.

Judging by the amount of blood loss, the blood was draining from his body to such an extent that it wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed at any moment, but he didn’t care.

“… ….”

Adele frowned at him and looked him up and down.

However, the shape of the wound on his body is unusual.

“It is our order to exclude anyone who wants to harm a saint who has become a witch, but if the time comes when we cannot keep that order due to our lack of skills…….”

An open hole, as if the skin had been heated by something high heat and melted.

It was a wound similar to the one found on the corpses of monsters scattered around the academy after Anastasia’s incident.

“At that time, I also received an order from the head of household to convey this fact to the young master.”
