Episode 79

A long procession made its way towards its destination.

No major incidents occurred while moving away from the academy.

The monsters trying to attack the procession met their death in the blink of an eye at the hands of the professors. Whether it was because of the large number of people or because of the name of the Academy, the hordes of demons did not appear.

On the first night of leaving the academy, nothing happened except for the addition of a crew member.

“Hello, hello. Nice to meet you all.”

Miled Pseudos.

One of the student council members I met when I first met the 2nd Prince, and a third-year senior who took on Allen’s team during dungeon practice.

“Are you formally greeting me for the first time? Please do well in this practice.”

A laid-back expression with fuchsia hair, and a great affinity.

Allen turned to look at the crew, who were concentrating on her story.

“Does everyone know about the Academy’s history?”

The location of Galshudin Academy is exquisite.

It’s not just that the holy sword is in the city, or that the relics of the ruins are flowing in.

More direct than that, it is in the harsh environment that comes into contact with the holy sword.

The desert environment is harsh.

In particular, it was appropriate to say that the Galshudin Great Desert, one of the super-large magic scenes, is more vicious than the ordinary desert.

The scorching midday sunlight and the cool night chill rising on the sand at night.

Numerous monsters appearing from nowhere and traps in ruins buried in the sand.

Sandstorms blowing at specific intervals were a bonus.

It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to withstand the day and night temperature that differs by tens of degrees, and mercenaries working there must purchase artifacts that cost several gold.

In order to explore such a large desert, he had to take a lot of risks.

Surrounded by such an environment, it could be said that Elpis carried a heavenly fortress on its back.

“However… But, you know there are fools, right?”

In the past, there were several moves to attack the academy.

“There was also a merchant association who was dissatisfied with monopolizing the artifact… , nobles who were dissatisfied with the treatment their children received, and even the kings of exiles whose eyes turned to greed.”

However, the attack never succeeded.

never once.

“As far as I know, the Academy has never taken any serious action, has it?”

There was no movement to gather soldiers, let alone an official statement.

“Then how did the enemy who tried to attack the academy… .”

At Evan’s question, who was concentrating on the story, Milred in front of him laughed strangely.

“How do you think it would be?”

“I’ve never heard of Elpis being attacked… .”

all failed

Elpis.

Befitting the meaning of hope, those who rushed at them like fire moths with lust were burned to the brim with their ends as well.

“That’s how the academy is today.”

“It seems that the environment of the great desert itself became a wall of blessing and blocked them… . It is also the reason why a climate where people can mix regardless of class or race has been created.”

An empire cannot be invaded, and no nobleman can exercise power.

However, the Academy exerts a tremendous influence through the excavated artifacts.

It was right to say that half of the Academy’s special status, not swayed by any country or race, was formed thanks to such geographical help and holy sword.

“Okay, you are smart. Junior William.”

In less than a few hours, she naturally blended into the party, stroking William’s hair as if she had done well.

“That, thank you!”

William blushed in embarrassment. Next to him, Ariel opened her mouth with an unsure face.

“then… , Are you saying that the fact that the student council president is a commoner is not a symbolic meaning, but a real skill?”

“That’s right too! The president is a real monster, right? Because if you stroke your hair, your best decoration will be ruined… Would you like some sweets?”

Milred bit the crunchy cookie before Ariel could even refuse. Ariel grunted the sweets that had entered her mouth with a subtle expression.

“Hmm, I… .”

“Ah, Evan-sama wants to eat sweets too!”

“No, not that… .”

Evan shook his head as if that wasn’t the case, but the cookies flew in at a faster speed than that.

“Is it delicious?”

Seeing the faint satisfaction on Evan’s face, it didn’t seem like he hated it.

Milred, who had silenced Evan in an instant, turned his head to Allen, the only one who had not intervened in the situation.

“You don’t need Allen?”

“I am okay.”

“I heard that the vice president helped me. For the junior, I will even cut the apples specially.”

She pulled out an apple from the subspace and smiled haphazardly as if she knew what was going on. Allen waved her hand to signify that she declined.

“It’s really good. Instead, I have a few questions for you, would you mind?”

She turned pale in a sense of disappointment and put the apple back in.

“If you don’t like it… Ask, yes! I will explain everything I can explain!”

Allen asked the question she had in her mind, cherishing the thought that her personality, which had changed to lively again at once, was unpredictable.

“then… , is it really true that Milred-senpai is joining our group?”

“right!”

“Wasn’t it only sophomores who could apply for practical training?”

She raised her index finger and shook her head.

“Nono, considering the difficulty of this mega-large ruin, it has been changed to be able to apply for the third year as an exception. I did not know?”

As she turned her gaze to the others, she shook her head as if she had never heard of it.

“My sister didn’t even tell me.”

“The seniors in the club didn’t say anything… .”

“yes? okay? The student council obviously asked the president for approval, but… ,”

As she tapped her lips with her index finger, she tilted her head.

“So, the application form was only for sophomores. I thought it was because of next year’s exchange meeting again.”

“Exchange meeting?”

“ah. I don’t know about 1st grade yet. The academy holds exchange meetings with Matop every year.”

“… I think I heard it from my sister. No, that’s not important.”

Ariel asked directly, returning the story she was about to fall into the conversation of the exchange meeting.

“Then the third-year senior who applied now is Milred-sama… .”

“Call me Milred Sister!”

“Yes, there’s only Milred sister, right?”

“Even if not… There will be only a few who applied from the student council.”

In response to her answer, William asked in a trembling voice if his anxiety had returned.

“Well, isn’t that dangerous then?”

“maybe… .”

She looked out the window of the carriage and smiled meaningfully.

“It won’t happen. never.”

“yes!? Even if the information received separately from the student council… .”

“It’s a woman’s sense~”

Milred smiled again and answered.

“No, what do you mean… .”

Despite William’s weak voice, she couldn’t stop laughing.

“it’s okay! it’s okay! It’s not the first time I’ve been to a mega-scale ruin! So you can rest assured!”

“… That’s the willpower.”

“right?”

The group was relieved of the tension in her cheerfulness.

Allen narrowed his eyes at the sight.

No one else seemed to notice, but Allen could see.

The fact that her gaze instantly touched one of the carriages in the procession.

Allen’s sensibility developed five senses more meticulously than before. Therefore, even if it was only a fleeting time for others, it was enough time for Allen to check the place where his gaze reached.

‘If nothing else happens, the safety device will be sufficient.’

Allen, feeling the ripple that covered the whole area, loosened the tension that had been tight since he came to the academy.

The destination began to approach.

“Are there any uncomfortable places?”

“If the food doesn’t suit your palate… .”

“It’s edible, so don’t worry.”

“If you have a separate order… .”

“I’ll take care of it, so go ahead.”

Jacquesnir looked at those who were leaving the wagon with a sad expression on his face.

All of them must have been one of the only dozens of professors in the academy, and they were nervous about whether they could even have a conversation in front of them.

“I don’t think it’s as high as I thought it would be.”

Zachnir smiled bitterly and shook his head.

There are only eight places in the world.

It sounded great, but it was just a pretense.

Jacquesnir knew that there were many strong people hiding in the world, except for the eight.

That their skills are one step behind them.

It was also because he knew that his former opponent was weak in long-term battles.

If it weren’t for that, he would have fought yearly battles, and he would have been the first to reach out.

“… I didn’t mean to be quietly at the academy.”

Jacquesnir leaned over the swaying wagon and fell into thoughts.

sky shield.

Youngest arm.

The only heir to the now lost divine magic.

“… Heir of the ruined kingdom.”

Few people know this identity.

The world was not idle enough to remember the successor of a country that had already collapsed a hundred years ago.

That is why, even now that he has become eight, few people know of his other identity.

It was natural, it was natural.

It is said that rivers and mountains change in ten years, which is a whopping 100 years.

Time enough for those who were boys to die and return to the soil.

Nevertheless, there was something that was not forgotten and continued. Even if it’s a useless delusion.

Jacquesnir remembered his father as a child.

‘You must take revenge.’

‘Who are you talking to?’

‘Of course to those damn academy bastards.’

‘… why?’

‘Didn’t you destroy our country and the royal family?!’

Even my father, who said that, had never experienced that time.

He misses the times he has never experienced and is obsessed with revenge, claiming that the country he never had in his hands has collapsed.

Jacquesnir received such a teaching, and the support of the whole family and his talent and luck overlapped and ascended to the Eight Rivers.

After that, after receiving an invitation from the Academy and taking on the guardianship of the city… .

‘I cut ties with the family.’

Because your horizons have been broadened.

He spent his whole life trying to achieve his family’s goal, but only when he came to the academy realized that it was useless.

After spending a few months at the academy like that, I got to where I am today.

“Hey, I have to do what I have to do.”

Maybe it was because I had been out of the city for a long time, so I had a lot of thoughts.

Zachnir closed his eyes and slowly raised his senses.

At the level of students, they wouldn’t be able to notice their senses.

Some of them were skillful enough for him to pay attention to, but… .

‘Still at the student level.’

100m, 200m, 300m… .

Gradually widening his scope and fully exploring the area, he raised his eyebrows.

At the end of the detection range, something caught and then disappeared in an instant.

“Is it an illusion… ?”

A few kilometers away from the procession of wagons.

The mysterious woman stared at the carriage where Jacquenir was sitting with a smile on her face.

“Byonna-sama, you’re not approaching me anymore… .”

The man sitting next to her looked at her, sweating profusely.

“If you get any closer than this, he might notice.”

She ignored him. To her attitude, the man cautiously added another word.

“If you don’t follow our plan, Bjornna-sama’s work will be disrupted… Kek.”

“I know, I know… Why are you nagging so much?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry… .”

“I’ll take care of it, so shut up.”

He was urinating at the momentary rise of life, and he stepped back with a pale expression on his face.

“When people who have already been ruined have such pride… , ttt.”

she knew too

It’s like I have to leave now.

According to the information they obtained from the academy, the super-large ruins will soon change.

I wonder where you got this information.

Even if they say that the family is already ruined, I wondered if it would be possible to mobilize the power of the family.

“However… , it’s a shame.”

It is a grudge that has accumulated for three years.

Even if the resentment could be resolved soon if he endured it for a few days, it was not easy.

“Still, soon.”

Not much left.

There is much more undiscovered about the ruins than what has been revealed.

So, even if you lose your life because of a dangerous ‘trap’ in it, wouldn’t it be unavoidable?

She hid herself from the intangible waves waving in the distance. Soon, a sense of sensing swept through the area.

It was an enemy when there were only two days left to reach the ruins.
