Swordmaster of the Red Light District

“Ugh…”

Alesia got up from her bed and cried while rubbing her bulging crown.

My whole head was covered with lumps, so I had to suffer for a long time even after laying in bed.

“I thought you could run away…”

Alesia, who escaped in Fenrir last night, was eventually caught by Rey.

The moment Rey drew his sword, Fenrir bubbled up and overturned his stomach.

Fenrir was one of the few spirits suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Phoenix was equally terrified when he saw Rey, so Alesia, who was eventually caught on the back of her head, gave her the top of the head.

“You’re depressed…”

Alessia made a shriveled face.

It was a honey chestnut that was beaten by Rey, and it was tolerable. Because Rey hit him so cleverly, he only had a big bump, but it didn’t make his head tingle.

However, Alesia was grieved at the fact that she had lost all her friends and power in one day.

As soon as the investigation into obscene books started with Meli, the other noble girls quickly stopped Alessia.

At first, he said that he would borrow the book first, and he even offered dessert, then wiped his mouth.

“The world is so cruel…”

Alessia muttered bitterly and left the dormitory.

It was like going back to the moment when I first set foot in the Imperial Palace.

There was only one person left to call a friend, Floria, and the interest of the professors must have been less than before.

Alesia, with her shoulders drooping, stopped by the main building of the Imperial Palace in search of the professor she had made an appointment with.

“Ummm…”

As soon as I entered the main building, my eyes met Melly, who was walking down the hallway.

Alessia was about to slowly turn her gaze away, but Melly approached her with a surprised face and greeted her in a warm voice.

“Oh! Good morning, Miss Alessia. Are you here for class?”

‘…Why are you pretending to be friendly all of a sudden?’

As Alessia rolled her eyes, other noble girls also approached her and pretended to be friendly.

Alesia was momentarily confused by the change of attitude of the nobles, who had not even received a greeting until yesterday.

‘Are you going to borrow the book again?’

It can’t be.

Even after going through the uproar, the liver masses of the nobles were not large enough to borrow books again.

Alesia, who had been thinking about it, found the answer not long after.

‘Thanks to my knight!’

Rey’s existence was originally Alesia’s blemish.

Alesia herself didn’t think much of it, but Rei was always the cause of the scandal towards Alessia.

However, as of yesterday, rumors spread quickly that Rey was actually Seria’s blood and that the knight who raised his sword recklessly against Rey was nailed to the wall from the head.

Seria was a knight who made great achievements at a young age and was one of the leaders of the Altstein family.

Rey was Seria’s cherished nephew, and Rey was often by Alessia’s side.

If you take this to the extreme.

It means that he may have hated Alesia and could even fall into the affair with the Altstein family.

That is why the nobles pretended to be friendly.

Alesia, who had attained enlightenment, sighed.

‘This is the politics of the nobility!’

It was truly a shameless attitude.

How can you change your mask in one day and act so shamelessly?

If it was a criminal, it would be enough to feel disillusioned.

Alesia boldly accepted the vulgar side of the aristocratic society and decided to take advantage of it.

“Your mouth is a bit boring!”

“Oh, I’ll borrow a seat and prepare refreshments for you.”

“Can I join you there too?”

“The tea leaves airlifted from the East this time…”

Alesia smiled contentedly as she saw the noble girls reacting promptly to her words.

I thought I could spend the rest of my study abroad life happily.

*

Lopilen, who repeatedly confirmed that there were no popular people around, opened the door to her private laboratory.

After passing through the space distortion field by overlapping barriers, I was able to see a young boy sitting on a chair and reading a book.

Lopilen immediately knelt down on one knee.

“See you, Harsia-sama.”

“You don’t have to be courteous, especially in places where other people are likely to see you.”

Ray answered in a sullen voice.

Lopilen raised her head slightly and looked at Rey.

Is it because he is carrying the huge burden of saving the world?

On Rey’s face, the darkness that had descended on him was spreading through scars.

I couldn’t believe the fact that the man in front of me had been caught by Seria just a day ago and flirted with me like a child.

Lopilen felt a kind of awe.

‘Is it true that he is a hero engraved in history?’

Harsia was revered as a hero by everyone. You will have a corresponding sense of self and self-esteem.

Even so, if necessary, he does not hesitate to even pretend to be an immature child.

He was truly a terrifying and wonderful person.

“You have completed the tuning of the contract engraving with today’s ruler.”

Lopilen continued explaining the contract engraving on the circle with her knees bent.

Wizards who cut ties with the Imperial Palace are forbidden to pass on their knowledge to others.

However, since Lopilen was hired by the aristocratic family to perform the post of tutoring, fine adjustments were made to this.

“Basic magical knowledge can be transferred without restrictions.”

However, in order to teach magic in earnest, the disciples also had to sign a contract with Lopilen.

It was a contract imprint that forced them not to share the knowledge passed down from Lopilen with others.

“Considering the capacity of my celomere… I can only have one full-time apprentice at most.”

“One is enough.”

“May I ask the identity of the child you will entrust to me?”

“Dinar Mountain Legendry Orphan.”

“…yes?”

When Lopilen asked in a confused voice, Rey laughed lowly.

The only orphan with a Legendary rating, Luna.

Ray, who looked at the people who were called gifted in the Imperial Palace, was convinced that his rating was correct.

“Go and see for yourself.”

“I see, Harcia-sama.”

“Lophilen.”

Rey bowed down and whispered into Lopilen’s ear.

“Until I allow it, don’t call me Harsia.”

“…I’ll be careful.”

“Treat me according to the status I have now.”

“All right.”

Ray got up and looked out the window.

The obelisk soaring high in the sky came into full view.

“Loyal to me, Lophilen.”

If so.

“I will share with you all the knowledge that was tied to the obelisk. Even the lycilote record that every wizard under the sky aspires to.”

“I will follow you, great hero.”

Lopilen’s head bowed more deeply.

*

The people of the Counts of Phillips, including Ray, were able to spend their little time studying abroad comfortably.

It was all thanks to Seria, who carried Rey on her shoulder every day and walked around.

Around the end of the short-term study abroad, a member of the Imperial Mato Tower implicitly suggested to Alesia a proposal to extend the study period.

Of course, Alessia refused, and so the short-term study abroad end date came.

On the way home, the Phillips and Osiris families came together.

Alesia, who had been busy saying goodbye to her friends for several days, managed to show up in front of the carriage just in time to leave the tower.

Rey looked at Alesia and narrowed her eyes.

Since I was with Seria for a while, I couldn’t pay attention to Alesia, but the new size I hadn’t seen had grown quite a bit.

“Alessia-sama.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Are you fat?”

“…!”

Alesia, with her mouth wide open, hastily denied it.

“Oh, it can’t be!”

“No, from the face to the sides, the whole body was plump and full of fat.”

“Ray! Don’t frame me!”

“Twitter, that’s why you get some sweet food in moderation.”

“Ugh…”

Alesia, who noticed that the straps tightening her waist had shortened recently, dyed her face red and trembled.

Rey sighed as she looked at Alesia’s bulging cheeks.

“If you keep adding weight like that, Fenrir’s waist will come out.”

“Stop teasing me! And my spirit is not that weak!”

The courageous Alessia rode the Fenrir materialized and swung past Rey.

Ray muttered with a confused face.

“When I return to the Countess, I’ll have to start practicing swordsmanship again…”

On the other hand, Diorika, the chief professor of the Imperial Martial Tower, who came to meet him, shook hands with Rei.

“See you next time.”

“Thank you for caring for me.”

“You should do that to your aunt’s fat nephew.”

Diorica, who gave a joke rather than a joke, looked around the carriage and said goodbye to everyone.

“I hope you had a good time. Take a look.”

Everyone was greeted by Diorica according to their status.

Ray also lowered his head and opened the carriage door, surprised.

“Wow…!”

An unidentified hand grabbed Rey’s neck and pulled him into the carriage.

Rey couldn’t resist and was sucked into the wagon, and the wagon door rattled shut.

Seeing that, Diorica coughed a little.

‘Well, it’ll be fine.’

Seria said that she would return immediately after meeting Rey to the Count of Phillips.

It’s a nephew I haven’t seen in a long time, so I can understand the desire to take care of him until the very end.

Seria hated that if the fact that she was going to meet her nephew was known to her family, she would be an escort or annoyance.

Therefore, he asked him to act as if he was staying in the Imperial Palace, and Diorica accepted Seria’s request even though he was in trouble.

“Have a nice trip.”

Diorica looked at the wagon as it moved away and turned her back.

“…”

Sitting in front of the cheap wooden table in front of him, Theta was silent and contemplated.

We have just received information that the Count of Phillips and the Count of Osiris have left the Imperial Palace.

Despite the imperial warning, they recruited Lopilen, a wizard belonging to the Imperial Majesty Tower.

Lopilen was a wizard who was caught trying to do illegal research and was undergoing disciplinary procedures.

The Crown Prince was furious that they had trampled upon the authority of the imperial family, and insisted that the traitors be removed.

The emperor tacitly agreed with the prince’s opinion.

Breeze, a Royal Guard belonging to the Imperial Special Forces, who was put into this operation, knew the circumstances before and after.

‘As much as it is the order of the Crown Prince, I will faithfully fulfill it.’

The Grenadines, where Breeze had an enemy, were not strong enough to advance to the center.

Therefore, he was eager to wait in line for the Crown Prince, but Breeze saw this as an opportunity to stand out for the Crown Prince.

‘But the power difference is too much.’

Seta put one royal guard belonging to the Imperial Special Forces into this task, as well as two wizards from the silver horse tower who signed a contract with the imperial family.

On the other hand, the power of the Earl Young-ae and her party should be high, so they were two intermediate spirits and three expert-level knights.

It was an overwhelming power car.

No matter how hard the knights protecting the young girls, there was a high probability that they could not scratch Breeze’s armor.

It was rather difficult to slaughter them so perfectly.

Theta touched the pieces of armor that had been cut with her gloved hands.

From the material and smelting method of the pieces of armor, it was not difficult to find out that the source was the imperial family.

“Please leave enough traces to help get the job done and to expedite the further investigation.”

Theta handed the piece of armor to the man standing behind him.

‘Mouse’, a black agent belonging to the Imperial Special Forces.

It was a male identity.

“I’m a black agent, so even if I say I’m safe…”

Mouse put the piece of armor into his bosom and sat across from Theta.

“You wouldn’t be.”

A typhoon is about to blow after the imperial special forces remove the count girls and Lopilen.

The incident of attacking and slaughtering nobles without the least warning and consensus process was not something that could be easily overlooked.

[The Crown Prince committed an act of extravagance, and the lower ones caused a disaster without even reporting to the emperor due to the loyalty competition.]

If the story goes that way, Theta can’t escape responsibility either.

Rather, it will be pointed out as the main person responsible for causing the disaster.

“A word that has been used for a long time is thrown away. Will your Majesty protect you even after this work is over?”

“Shut up.”

As long as the emperor decides to print the crown prince, this will become a public debate.

Then, even if the theta is captured at a minimum, you will have to be locked up on the island for several years.

However, if he did not follow the emperor’s instructions, he was sure to lose something more than his life.

Theta faced the mouse, trying to hide her impatience.

“I leave the judgment to you on the spot. But don’t leave any survivors on the Count’s side.”

Victims are more prone to handjobs in silent situations.

The mouse nodded and raised the corners of his mouth gently.

“No more support?”

“That’s a funny joke.”

Including the mouse, there are only two Graduates involved in this operation.

Moreover, they were armed with all kinds of rare and powerful swordsmanship and equipment bestowed upon them by the imperial family.

It was a power that would overwhelm even dozens of unmanned expert-class unmanned people.

“No more support. Good luck.”

“This is so sad.”

Mouse stood up and asked again with a mischievous smile.

“But, there is such a thing. If we ever end up being hunted in reverse, what should we do?”

“…they’re all done by the Crown Prince and commit suicide.”

“Okay. Write it down.”

Theta shook her head.

I didn’t know if this would be the last time the mouse would ever go along with that cheesy joke .
