Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

Russell(4)

After receiving my report, Michael chose a very simple solution.

“Let’s open it.”

“Yes? It could explode if you touch it wrong…”

“It’s wrong for such a thing to be left in the alley itself. When will Summoning Alchemy and these guys come?”

As soon as Michael’s words were finished, the people rushed to them.

I think my explanation was a bit long.

He looks at Summoning Alchemy and the students terrifyingly and says:

“You guys have already been disciplined, so don’t rush your head and answer honestly. Who and when did you bring this up?”

“Me, we got it last evening. The schedule to finish the installation on the same day was too tight…”

As soon as their testimony was over, I turned to Elfriede and Sylvia.

Looking at them, I don’t think I’ve seen them wrong.

“Then who touched it this morning?”

“Yes? Cow, did you touch it?”

“Whoever it is, it’s not us, right?”

Summoning Alchemy students looking at each other and nodding their heads.

Fortunately, Maria is not here.

Michael opened the box with an annoyed expression on his face.

The smell of gunpowder I sniffed at a special lecture in the past fills my nose.

However, it was not powdered black powder.

The contents of the box were small crystal-shaped gunpowder.

Each one is almost identical in shape and uniform in size.

“What is this?”

“Well, what we’ve prepared is just black powder… We’ve made a combination of metal compounds for fireworks, but it’s not like this.”

It seems like someone changed it.

The thought flashed across everyone’s faces.

“Is this gunpowder right in the first place?”

“I just checked the ingredients and it’s right. I mixed this and that.”

“To catch up with the amount of Summoning Alchemy and the entire investment for over a month…”

I don’t know who they are, but they’re not normal guys.

Besides, he doesn’t seem to have very good intentions.

Michael, who closed his eyes for a moment, gave instructions quickly.

“Student Department and Summoning Alchemy Department collect all the gunpowder right now. Find out if there is anything else installed… Move carefully so you don’t get caught by the criminals. I’ll report to the head of the school and cancel the schedule tomorrow.”

“Yes? So, will the festival end like this?”

“Of course it’s over. How do you keep going when this sabotage is being carried out?”

After threatening everyone, he turned to me to express his gratitude.

“Louis, thanks for the report. Leave it to us from now on.”

“No. Because the president was looking at it anyway…”

“I didn’t mean to open that. If the confirmation had been delayed, there would have been a catastrophe.”

I shook his hand lightly and left the scene.

It’s funny that I’m not a member of the student council and I’m still involved.

Still, I was not able to enjoy the rest of the festival comfortably because of anxiety and discomfort.

Sylvia, unable to see Elfriede trembling with anxiety, sighed and suggested.

“Master, I’m leaving a little early today.”

“Is that so?”

I quickly accepted it and went back to the dormitory.

The summons who returned after receiving my call signal clicked their tongues when they heard about the situation.

“It’s not the royal palace, why would you do that in the middle of the academy…”

“Medusha-sama. Please.”

He commits blasphemy like a very breath-taking thing.

I marveled again and added a guess.

“And the Royal Magnus Summoning Academy is not just an educational institution. This is one of the important bases for the defense of the capital.”

“Huh? Aha… you mean that?”

Medusha’s gaze, moved out of the window, turned to the ultra-long-distance transmission gate in the center of the academy.

A channel through which reinforcements can be called from each metropolis in case of emergency.

The perpetrators of this sabotage were probably aimed at that.

It is said that it is easy for outsiders to enter because it is a festival period, but…

Seeing something like that installed in the middle of an academy is unusual.

The gunpowder itself prepared by the criminals in the first place is quite expensive.

“Maybe they’re trying to hit the entire capital…”

“Hey, there’s Eshas here, how dare you do something like that.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Anyway, it’s a pity that the festival ended early. I really wanted to see the fireworks that were scheduled for tomorrow.”

Ethel, who was changing clothes every minute with Laurie, complained.

They couldn’t wear clothes directly, but they manipulated the elements around their bodies to create the same effect as changing clothes.

Of course, the owners of the clothing store trembled because they copied only the designs of the clothes they liked.

I used Beltern’s money to quell their grievances.

Sylvia, who was changing clothes and giving her tea, drooled.

“It’s strange. The sun has already set and there is no notice.”

“I think it’s a little late. The president will take care of it.”

I struggled to respond calmly, but I was so anxious that I couldn’t sleep, and at some point I fell asleep as if I fainted.

I woke up feeling like my head was about to break.

I couldn’t get a good night’s sleep because there were still concerns.

As usual, Medusha, who took the mount position, shook me violently and pointed out the brightly lit window.

“Louise, look at that. The festival is still going on!”

“What?”

Wiping my blurred vision once, I looked out the window and saw the school grounds still in a festive mood.

Students excited about the 6th day, the highlight of the festival.

There is no notice from the student council about canceling the festival.

Even though I felt confused, I quickly washed my body and went outside.

Have you ever caught the criminals?

They didn’t look like that kind of bastard…

As we continued to speculate and headed towards the center, a familiar box caught our attention in the corner of the alley.

That’s the box I saw yesterday.

“What the hell? You didn’t even retrieve the box?”

“Louis. Shall I come and see you?”

“No. Let’s find the president first.”

If you haven’t done it, there must be a good reason.

Wandering through the crowded crowd to find Michael, he and the student members soon appeared.

The appearance of organizing traffic in the midst of a large crowd.

As I approach him coldly, he bites his teeth.

“Sister-in-law…”

“You keep calling me strange. By the way, why didn’t you take that box away? Why do you continue the festival again?”

The culprit was caught last night.

I was unexpectedly expecting an answer that it was nothing, but I was taken aback by the explanation mixed with a sense of guilt.

“I asked for the festival to be canceled, but it was denied.”

“Yes? Why?”

“That gunpowder, it turned out that it was an Earth thing. Thanks to that, the Dimensional Watch is interfering and disrupting it.”

“I beg your pardon?”

How was it that gunpowder was unfamiliar to you?

But even so, the festival continues in the midst of this.

Shouldn’t it be even more so if it’s related to the Earth?

Facing a confused expression on his face, Michael chewed his lower lip.

It was only then that I realized the intentions of the Warp Watch.

“You’re trying to catch the culprit. If you retrieve all the gunpowder boxes, you might find out that the plan has gone awry and hide…”

Michael nodded his head without saying a word.

The dimensional watchdog weighed the lives of students and the arrest of criminals on the scales, and decided that the latter was heavier.

The mindset that it doesn’t matter if the students die or get hurt as long as they can catch the culprit.

Next, explanations such as excuses are added.

“But I left all the contents of the box empty. That was my best bet.”

If the Dimensional Guard had stepped in, neither the status of Westwall’s next head of state nor the position of the student council president would be of much help.

Thinking about where he had done that, he called for help.

“They’ll probably move just before the fireworks preparations begin. It’s probably around lunchtime. Help the students evacuate then.

“That’s what it is.”

I nodded without difficulty.

After all, the dimensional watchdog will take care of arresting the criminal.

I won’t miss it or miss it if I make it like this.

Michael sighed as if he had calmed down a bit and parted with me.

When I returned to Sylvia and the pets waiting behind me, I enjoyed the festival on the eve of the storm, hiding my agitation.

I don’t know how they’ll turn out, but they don’t stop the festival.

Still, it’s a daring arrest operation.

What the hell is the earth doing to do this?

On one side of the central square, Maria and Christine were seen walking around.

Perhaps they were also asked by Michael.

I looked around the few unvisited booths, hoping that the criminals would notice early and run away.

When you widen your field of vision, you can see outsiders set up all over the festival site.

A look around with a clear purpose.

When I trembled, wondering if I was the one in charge of this case, Sylvia said coldly.

“It’s a dimensional watchdog. It’s disguised in plain clothes.”

“Yeah? But the numbers are a bit low for that kind of thing…”

Even if they are the most elite of a hundred per day, there are only five.

Of course there are still others I haven’t discovered, but there are too few.

Since we’re dealing with a guy who even installed explosives inside the academy, can we mobilize a little more?

Sylvia let out a small sigh and said with full confidence.

“Other crew members probably went out to reinforce the mission of escorting elements such as royalty. That’s the principle.”

“ah…”

Once again, Elfriede sends a glance, ‘How do you know that?’

Sylvia must have learned the Dimensional Guard’s course of action from Uncle Henry.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Judging from it, it doesn’t look like much has changed from when Uncle retired.

“It’s good to have students as bait…”

“But why did that vassal named Henry retire from the Dimensional Watch? It seems he has a lot left until retirement.”

“They said the work was not worthwhile. Now I understand roughly what you mean.”

I nodded, remembering the face of the man who answered the same question while looking away.

While Medusha was showing a sad face.

Suddenly, the guards who were infiltrating around rose from their seats all at once.

“What, what?”

“Coming from above! Let’s go to the central square!”

If the Warp Watch had stopped camouflage, there was nothing more to see.

I flew to the main square with Michael to evacuate the students.

Immediately after, the guard’s spells and summons soaring overhead.

The culprit in this case flies away with the sun set in the middle of the sky.

“Damn, I can’t see…”

“Avoid everyone! Go back to the dorm!”

“The festival is over! Leave the stalls alone and evacuate immediately!”

As soon as the operation begins, the student council raises the volume to evacuate.

The students, who were enjoying the festival in full swing, seemed bewildered at the out-of-the-ordinary command, but when an explosion sounded overhead, they began to leave in a hurry.

The dimensional guard that soared earlier clashed with the invaders and created the noise of battle.

Fortunately, it didn’t show up among the students.

While I was thinking about it, rain of fireworks started to fall from the sky above the central square.

It is dangerous because even fairly large fragments are often mixed together.

Before I even gave the order to do something, Ethel moved on its own.

“Who are you using fire in front of?”

She muttered a sympathetic voice, and waved her hand once to erase the rain of flames.

Apart from that, the noise is getting louder and louder.

Intruders descending with their backs to the sun and the Dimensional Watch were engaged in a fierce dogfight.

“I’m sure they’ll really attack. You might be afraid of Eshas…”

Since the altitude had dropped a lot, I stopped breathing for a moment when I was able to see them.

I thought it was dazzling because of the scorching sunlight, but I was mistaken.

in the middle of battle. A bird-shaped pet with intruders on its back was emitting a dazzlingly bright light.

The figure of a person reflected small from the back of the guy’s neck.

But before they could even look directly at it, students from all directions recognized the light-emitting summoned beast.

The gigantic bird-type summoned beast was famous for this and that.

Even if you haven’t seen it in person, you’ve probably heard of the description.

“That’s Count Elcloud’s…”

“Buu, Phoenix? No way!”

Rank is S.

A rare yet powerful beast-type summoned beast.

Thanks to the characteristic of never dying, the guy who could be summoned with Jinshin relatively easily collided with the Dimensional Watch and was scattering sparks.

I clenched my teeth when I faced the summons of a family I had only heard of.

“… Russell?”

If the phoenix, the pet of our family, reappears, the summoner who ran away with him should also appear.

The figure nestled on the phoenix’s neck answered with a loud sound of a sword.
