I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

The Righteous Thief

The saintess watches, and Leo opens the door to my room with the key he received earlier and enters.

Not long after, he came out of my room.

In his hand was a glass bottle.

I can’t clearly see the contents, but I’m probably right about what I think.

After he had a conversation with the saintess, the two moved again.

The saintess seemed to be leaving the dormitory.

Leo seemed to be headed for his dorm room.

After both Leo and the saintess disappeared.

I finally got out of the back of the planter.

Without making a sound, I quickly went into my dorm room.

Still wearing the cat mask, I opened the window to my room.

Okay, it’s winter, so the sun sets early, so it’s already dark outside.

At this level, there is no risk of being caught even if there is someone below.

I leaned out the window.

Carefully stepping on the window sill, using mana, he soon started climbing the wall.

It was fortunate that there was a drain pipe to hang on.

Somehow, I feel like I’m only improving my stealth skills, not my fighting skills.

Anyway, I headed to Leo Epsilt’s room window.

The location of his room was already known.

Holding onto the window frame of his room, I cautiously raised my head.

It’s dark outside anyway, and thanks to the mask, it won’t be noticed by him.

Leo Epsilt had already arrived in the room.

After checking that he even put the glass bottle in the desk drawer, I went back into my room window.

—

the next morning.

no, dawn.

Fighting against the coming Suma, I came out of the dormitory.

Of course, with the mask on.

I don’t know if anyone is already roaming around this early in the morning, just in case.

And, my choice was right.

This time, it was sleepiness.

And I was nodding and moving around in peace because I thought that no one was around.

As soon as I turned the corner of the building, my eyes met the princess who was running in the distance.

Ho-oh, the princess wakes up early in the morning and exercises.

A human being like me is unapproachable diligence.

By the way, is it because I exercise when there are no people?

Her tracksuit was a bit exposed, to say the least.

No, it’s not that much exposure again.

Maybe it’s because of her status as the other’s princess.

In addition, sweat profusely, probably because of the intense running…

I shook my head.

Damn, what are you thinking about?

I quickly activated my footwork and disappeared behind the building again.

“for a moment!”

The princess shouted from far away.

Ignoring her, I headed the other way towards the restaurant.

Today’s hiding place is behind the trash can next to the restaurant building.

It was the best place to check the restaurant entrance without anyone coming.

… Except for the smell, it meant the best place.

Anyway, after waiting for a while, people started coming to the restaurant for breakfast.

I watched them intently.

Eventually, the person I was waiting for.

After Leo Epsylt entered the cafeteria with a few party members, I quickly headed for the dorm.

I go into my room, open the window and make sure no one is under the building.

Now, unlike yesterday, the day is bright, so I have to move quickly.

With my wall-climbing skills, which I had become quite proficient in now, I moved to the window of Leo’s room.

The windows in his room were unlocked, without the reward of polishing his window picking skills to minimize traces.

Well, I don’t normally lock the windows of my dorm room either.

Who would have thought that some madman would break into the dormitory through a building window in the middle of the academy?

Anyway, the thoughts I had while sneaking into Leo’s room through the window.

‘Is this a completely flawless thief?’

But well, what I’m doing isn’t bad, it’s good, so it’s okay.

Lord… no

‘Goddess, please allow me to become a just thief today.’

I muttered to myself as I rummaged through Leo’s desk drawer.

After all, it’s a goddess who chooses a woman like Esther as a saint.

He’s a thief, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I took the glass bottle out of his desk drawer.

As expected, the glass jar contained a single strand of black hair.

At this point, laughter came out.

I really hope it’s this simple, Leo Epsilt.

I scanned the floor.

Shortly thereafter, a single yellow hair held in my hand.

As she dipped her hair in the magic dye she brought with her, Leo’s blonde hair soon turned black.

I took my hair out of the glass bottle, put it in my pocket, and replaced it with Leo’s dyed hair.

OK, the operation is a success.

—

a few days after that.

The items requested by the family have arrived.

Everything went according to Leo’s plan, but there was one problem.

That’s right, Leo’s magic skills.

Of course, just drawing a magic circle on parchment doesn’t make it scroll.

Making scrolls was to put magic itself on parchment.

And of course, Leo didn’t have the skills to do that.

But if Leo didn’t have the skills, all he had were party members.

There is no Felice, and Aine has neither skills nor trust.

At least the other three women were pretty reliable.

Of course, knowing the importance of this event, I didn’t tell them about the plan.

If what I needed last time was a saint, what I needed this time was Veronica.

Leo sang Veronica Eltwin.

“Yeah, what’s going on?”

Veronica asks that.

It was Leo who felt that her attitude was a little strange recently, but she was the perfect fit.

“Veronica, can you make scrolls?”

“uh… What, is it possible to make it?”

Veronica asks why are you asking such a thing.

To her, Leo offered a Swallow parchment, a magic quill, and mana ink.

“Make one. With bondage scrolls.”

“uh… ? uh… ”

As soon as she heard those words, Veronica noticed Leo’s plan.

I hope you can use such a disgraceful method!

Growing up in a magic tower, she was naturally familiar with many magic tools.

She recognized the Swallin parchment at a glance.

A parchment that aids in casting a spell and disappears immediately after casting.

It’s perfect for leaving no evidence.

The reason she didn’t even bother to use commercially available scrolls was understandable.

Commercial scrolls were a problem because their effects were so clear.

If you hit Louis directly during the duel, anyone will notice the oddity.

However, it is different to make this by hand, using only parchment and mana ink.

Unless her master crafted it, it wouldn’t harden for a few minutes or so.

So people won’t even notice.

It’s power, just stopping it for a while is enough to be a threat in a duel.

Veronica thought for a moment.

Even if he refuses anyway, there are elves.

In the process of completing the scroll, the magic takes place and shines, so if you fail on purpose, you will be caught.

Eventually, Veronica started crafting the Bondage Scroll.

After everything is over, Leo thanks her, but Veronica doesn’t hear.

Because Veronica’s head was now full of Louis.

She had been thinking a lot since the last time.

I felt so sorry for Louie.

At the same time, it was Veronica who was so upset that he hit her.

‘What are you doing, Louie! You’re in real trouble!’

Come on, May Louie apologize to himself.

If you do that, he will apologize and tell you about Leo’s plan.

Louie doesn’t even look at himself.

As the day of the duel drew closer, Veronica became increasingly anxious.

—

Leo takes out mana stone powder, a scroll made by Veronica, and an alchemy solvent that melts Louis’ hair.

he has a sinister laugh

I didn’t have to tell Veronica.

He started doing simple things with the materials.

Eventually, the ordinary bondage scroll was reborn as a bondage curse scroll targeting the owner of the hair.

—

A few days after hiding in Leo’s room and changing his hair.

In the meantime, he sent a letter to his hometown, ejaculated his father, and received a potion preparation.

Everything is ready, and I smile.

Today was finally duel day.

I don’t even know how the first class went.

The classroom was already noisy with stories about our duel.

Taking a glance, Leo’s face was also very confident.

Yes, just like my face.

It was hard to hold back the laughter.

With my tailing skills, which have now grown to a great level, yesterday, I even confirmed that he was handing something to Elin Nidia.

Finally, it’s combat practice time.

The cadets of the same class headed to the gym with excitement.

Well, I understand.

Originally, watching a fight with a mirror is the most fun.

If so, I won’t let them down here.

When I arrived at the gymnasium, Professor John Hatton was awake for some reason.

In addition, there was Professor Ian Dexter, the observer of our duel.

An expectant Professor John welcomes us.

Prior to the duel, Professor Ian sent the two of us to a makeshift waiting room.

Is this the original procedure, or is it Professor Ian’s work at Leo’s request?

Well, it didn’t really matter.

Originally, I wouldn’t have noticed.

Since I was expecting it, I felt a presence before long.
