Episode 93

The rearrangement of the case proceeded quickly.

With the appearance of Gaion, the king of the beast, the scene was quickly settled, and the professors were rescued by Jacques Nir himself.

Their complexions had turned pale and looked like they were about to faint, but fortunately no one was dead.

As soon as the faculty came to their senses, they asked the academy for help.

The academy responded quickly to this incident.

Not long after, a large number of medical staff from the academy moved through space and generously supported Elixir and other precious potions.

As a result, the total number of casualties was 72.

Of these, 23 died.

It was surprising that more than half of the 141 people who had come for training at the super-large ruins were killed, but everyone seemed to agree with the size of the dead monster’s corpse.

However, the noble families could not contain their astonishment at this situation.

“You must give a proper explanation for this incident!”

“Even though casualties are common, isn’t this serious?”

In principle, when entering the academy, it is clearly stated that casualties may occur due to various safety accidents and unexpected coincidences.

However, it is the academy’s responsibility to investigate the difficulty and various risks of the ruins before dungeon practice.

They demanded a proper response, saying that this incident was the academy’s responsibility.

The Academy’s response to such a strong backlash was simple.

“The academy is fully aware of the responsibility for this incident. Therefore, as a result of secretly investigating the incident, the true culprit was different.”

The culprit pointed out by the academy was the former family of Shield of the Sky, Zachnir.

“According to what we have learned through the cooperation of Zachnir, in order to restore the former glory, they have brought in the former Eightfold Queen, the Shadow Queen, and used numerous relics to isolate the professors from the space. Securing Enemy Evidence… .”

The news announced by the academy made the nobles who had been pricked for a small profit become their flagship.

“What? The Shadow Queen is back?”

“I’m going crazy. I thought he was retired due to an injury… .”

“… Isn’t that what you’re aiming for?”

Shady Queen.

Until three years ago, she reigned as the queen of the shadows and made many people tremble.

The news of her return caused so much commotion that the death of an academy student was dismissed as a small matter.

When sight was so far from the deaths of students, the academy once again announced shocking news.

“The academy will not forget this because of their deeds, and Jacqueline, the Shield of Heaven, has declared that they will be punished directly. And I assure you that the Academy will help Zachnir and you will not get any benefit in any way… .”

Palgang is going to come out and punish them.

In other words, it was like announcing that it was going to be wiped out completely.

Normally, if something like this had happened, the Empire or other armies would have intervened and intervened, but this time their actions were so great that no one came forward.

In addition, even if it is a royal family of a ruined country, it is a royal family.

Those who looked at them as an element of chaos in their hearts welcomed them with open arms.

In less than three days, the entire family of Jacquenir faced their best work, and the battle was over in less than half a day. There was no battle.

As he declared, they were only punished.

The interest they held went to the families of the dead students, and the common students were given an amount satisfactory to their parents.

The remaining members of the family were all executed at the hands of Zachnir.

“In addition, the leader of the investigation team, who did not complete the proper investigation, will be imprisoned in a dungeon after breaking the circle, and the remaining members of the investigation team will fire their positions and deprive them of their rights.”

Therefore, no one raised any objection to the content published by the Academy.

It was natural in a way that it was not possible to examine all of the ruins in a single survey.

So the case was finally over, their punishment.

The students’ deaths were only worth that much.

Other freshmen were given a temporary break for a few weeks.

It was because the professors were unable to proceed with the class due to the use of anti-magic.

“… … We remember that they were great students, and they were the brightest talent for the academy, and we will never forget those who left first… .”

The dead students were buried in a park-like cemetery located inside the academy.

It was one of the benefits that an academy student could enjoy.

The students who had left for training in a relic other than a mega-sized site were relieved that they did not go there, and the friends of the dead student fell into sorrow.

Allen looked at their graves for a while before moving on.

There was no destination.

Wherever your feet touch, you just move.

As I was walking, my eyes suddenly came to a corner of the park.

Long, ivory-colored hair.

Rachel was squatting in a corner of the park, clasping her chin with her hands and looking somewhere.

Allen went there too.

“What are you doing here?”

Allen sat down next to her. Rachel answered in a subdued voice.

“I’m here because I’m depressed.”

A small tombstone was erected in the direction she was looking at.

“If you’re depressed, isn’t it better to be somewhere else than here?”

“When I’m depressed, I just want to be more depressed than to relax by looking at something funny. How about you?”

Her calm sky-blue eyes lit him up.

“Your condition wasn’t very good either. It’s okay now?”

“… I am, yes. I still can’t say it’s that good.”

Allen shook his head as if promising himself.

“I am OK.”

“Allen, it’s not your fault. It was just an unfortunate accident. With a sudden shift in space… .”

“I know. I mean, I know.”

that the accident happened because of him.

“But it’s something that can’t be easily forgotten, isn’t it?”

She leaned against his body with a grin on her face, as if she knew she couldn’t help it.

“Still, can you overcome it? Because you are.”

She looked up at him in a soothing tone. Her sky blue eyes were filled with concern for him.

Allen smiled a little, as if it was nothing to worry about, and answered as usual.

“Yeah, it won’t take long. Then I have work… .”

Rachel tidied up his disheveled collar as he got up.

“See you this weekend. at the North Gate.”

‘Can you overcome it?’

can you forget

Allen sneered and shook his head.

None of it was easy to do.

As he turned around, his heart burned again. The fire burned louder than before.

The hot water over my head wet my hair and washed my body. Allen was drenched in water to sort out her feelings.

It was one of his long-standing habits to be immersed in water hot enough to burn himself.

Drops of water dripped down the skin texture.

Allen looked back on his actions at the academy.

Through the Black Book, he found out about the battle between Benjamin and Julius, and used him to forge a relationship with the second prince who would become an enemy of Julius in the future.

Before returning, he cured Benjamin, who would have ended up with a disability, and sold the Elixir recipe to the Alchemy Tower to raise money.

Even before entering the school, she supported the Sindri siblings, who must have lived a difficult life through Catherine, and secretly contacted the Ring Bridge through them.

There were rare days when he did not go to the Academy’s library, and he did not miss even a small auction through Enelia.

‘Are my actions not enough?’

it wasn’t enough But it wasn’t enough.

Allen did everything he could to prepare for his place.

As proof of that, Arcandus and Karik will now arrive in Elpis within a few days after completing the organization’s maintenance and begin their activities, and the time has come to settle the task entrusted to Linbell.

However, Allen’s actions were only thorough against the future Julius. I didn’t think of him as he is now.

‘then? What can you do by blocking Julius’s current actions? If I stop now, will Julius really come back?’

What he was aiming for was to gather those who had revenge against Julius.

To a certain extent, let’s face the fact that there were victims, and I made a promise in the chimera magician’s workshop.

Even so, he thought that if he was within his reach, he would not turn away like Benjamin.

‘By the way, why?’

Weren’t you determined to do anything to get Julius back in the first place?

The faucet turned and the water temperature increased.

Even now, that feeling has not changed.

However, getting too close was the problem.

‘Yes, it doesn’t matter that Julius killed them.’

The problem is that I’m too close to them.

It was the first time they had an equal relationship with the exception of family members and subordinates, so I gave them affection. I went too deep.

It feels like a momentary escape.

Would Allen be so disturbed by the death of a stranger at the hands of Julius?

Have you ever felt the same anger you have now?

‘No. Rather coldly, he would have brought in contact with the surviving survivors.’

Anyway, his behavior never changed in the past or now. Wasn’t he aware of the fact that there were as many dead people as a mountain by his side even before he returned?

I have come across this scene countless times through documents.

It was just the first time I felt and experienced it myself.

Twisted the faucet. Hot water poured out than before.

‘Yes, this can be used as an opportunity.’

When you attract people with a vengeance to Julius, you can empathize with them and give them a sense of unity that they shared the same experience.

Twisted the faucet again. The body of a giant is not burned at this temperature.

‘Initially, we’ve only been together for about a month, right?’

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a cause to attract others through a month’s time? You just have to be more careful in the future.

To prevent a situation like this from happening again.

thoroughly.

The size of the stake has grown. If so, can you come and bite me now? Or play a new game?

He is already riding on the dragon’s back.

The ending will be one of two.

Whether it’s eaten by a dragon like anyone else, or taming a dragon to become a dragon warrior.

“… Come on!”

blurred vision. It was probably the effect of being in a very hot space.

“… Prince Ren!”

Still, I wanted to raise the temperature even more today. However, perhaps because of a facility problem, the temperature rose too low today. Then again-.

The bathroom door swung open and her black hair fluttered. As the sandalwood scent drew closer, purple eyes met Allen’s.

“… Linbell? Why all of a sudden… .”

“I’m worried because you haven’t come out even after three hours. But why is the temperature so… Oh, get hot!”

She hurriedly moved and turned the faucet in the opposite direction.

The faucet turned smoothly without a single sound.

She then took a familiar large towel and began to serve him. Allen was surprised at first too, but she was accustomed to serving her.

Allen, who had changed all his clothes, asked her at that time.

“But what happened all of a sudden?”

She had been working on Allen’s assignments for the past three months and was barely visible.

I was planning to call in the near future to carry out a project I had planned a few months ago, but not now.

“… Hehe. Confucius was worried, and her mother told her to go instead because she couldn’t come because of her auction schedule.”

She smiled clumsily like a child trying to hide her fault and began to trim his hair.

“Hmm… Well, it’s about time, so this should be fine.”

When he didn’t mention her fault, she moved her scissors slowly with a bright expression on her face.

“You grew up a long time without me. Confucius is right here, right?”

“Yeah, that’s enough.”

“I know everything about Confucius.”

She trimmed her hair with a sullen face. Although she hadn’t seen each other for months, her skills were becoming more proficient.

“You seem to have improved your skills, did you practice separately?”

“yes! Living next door too messy… ah.”

She stiffened for a moment, as if thinking of something as she spoke. Then she moved her hand again and carefully opened her mouth.

“There is a person I would like to introduce to Confucius.”

“Who is that… no way.”

Nodding her head as if Allen was right, she shouted at the door.

“I forgot too, so I’ll call you right away! Illyana!”

When she finished speaking, the door to the dorm opened and she saw a girl.

A gray-haired girl with pierced ears, fangs exposed outside her lips, and a rather pale look, walked in slowly, looking at them with an unknown expression.

“My name is Illyana from the Faculty of Engineering.”
