Episode 38 – At the Edge of Peace

#One

day.

Veronica walked around the dormitory, figuring out the movement of the target.

Two days.

In order to carry out the mission, the list distributed to the professors was changed.

three days.

Additional information was received from the Imperial Family.

That was pretty helpful information.

four days

She made contact with someone.

After sharing bloody stories, they returned.

five days.

Some of the surveillance systems inside the academy have been paralyzed.

The effect will last about two days.

sixth morning.

Because I slept with my eyes open, I didn’t have to tidy up the futon.

If I was at Master level, it would be okay if I didn’t sleep for half a day.

“Whoa-.”

She let out a small sigh and looked at the people going to school on campus.

Originally, while they were away from the dormitory, they had to supervise and manage the working maids, but-.

Veronica’s outfit today was quite different.

Pieces of armor sticking to tight tights.

Her black hair, which could be said to be her symbol, was pouring down on her nose-length mask.

Tidying up her ponytail, she sank into the shadows.

‘Manus. The first thing to get rid of-.’

I figured out everyone else’s movement.

As long as there were some professors who were under pressure from the imperial family, it wasn’t difficult to manipulate them comfortably.

only one.

Except for Caesar Manus.

<Today, many of the Academy will die.>

<You have to save those who are in danger. If anyone else notices it, just deal with them.>

What did the imperial family believe in and plot such a thing?

As a contract worker, she had no way of knowing.

A few days ago, it seems that Manus has reconciled with the eldest son of the Berkeley family-.

The sigh only deepened.

said the imperial family.

If she fulfilled a few more tasks, she would take action so that she could fully live as the head maid.

‘-I have no choice but to believe it.’

It was my only hope.

It was the only way to escape from the bloodstained souls who had left without even screaming.

She rode through the shadows and caught someone in her gaze.

Caesar Manus.

He was in class with an expressionless face.

Even though I was in the second year, I saw the most vicious elemental science, especially the dark hair that was taking the third year class.

Today was a day, I had to look for an opportunity while staying by his side.

Class time passed really quickly.

Professor Trail added a word before class ended.

“Everyone should know what was communicated tonight. Don’t forget that you are also the power of the academy and wizards dealing with the dead.”

“-yes.”

“Please familiarize yourself with the duties assigned to each of you.”

Mythos Academy said so.

In any case, they would fight under a stable magic circle and under stable command.

Knights and guardians are protected by wizards and only need to shoot magic safely.

‘-I hope so.’

Organizing the textbooks, Manus thought about what he had to do today.

Chances are, until the sun goes down today.

He hurriedly moved to the first grade classroom.

This episode wasn’t about being the only one surviving.

-It was a reality, not a game, so I wanted to work harder.

In order to save even one person, I must tie up the shadows that sway behind me now.

As expected, Veronica moved as he thought.

‘But why me?’

Originally, there is a text saying that she is hiding from an unnamed extra.

Once again, it seems that the flapping of the butterfly’s wings has led to something.

Rather good.

I didn’t have to search hard.

He pretended not to know, and acted naturally.

The first graders also looked very nervous.

“senior.”

“I will tell you what to prepare today.”

Class A.

And even Melanie from Class B.

Libby from the Bauer family hurried off to somewhere as soon as class ended.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Judging by the fact that she is holding a note, it seems she has received some orders from Melanie.

Shadow, and then Manus glanced at Libby before returning to the first year.

Manus handed out notes.

“Prepare this and come to the club room until the sun goes down.”

“-All right.”

Cale gently raised his hand.

Her eyes trembled as she read the note.

What’s going on?

Manus asked with his eyes.

“No, I don’t have any money.”

“we are here.”

“-ah.”

As soon as they were in a hurry, Manus handed them a few gold coins.

Cale’s face brightened.

Yes, now Cale was a commoner, and of course he didn’t have much money.

There was a subsidy, but it was just enough to cover food and livelihood.

Until Melanie asked for a sub-quest, she had to live as a mistress.

Artifacts have to be sold through formal procedures, so it takes time to deposit.

Anais and Melanie, who were next to them, widened their eyes.

“Kale, you should have told us.”

“that’s right. We could have helped-.”

Cale laughed bashfully, but showed no reaction.

Anais, who didn’t like the look, pouted.

What’s good about friends

“Don’t be sorry, tell us anytime. got it? please-!”

“-huh.”

“Ooh, we need a lot of supplies and artifacts. So, I will help you.”

What can I do, I can pay it back later.

My friends asked me not to feel pressured at all without hesitation.

“-thank you.”

“what. you’re our friend Like friends help each other. You can pay it back later by becoming a great wizard.”

“huh.”

They were very warm and pure friends.

Manus couldn’t stand the sweet look and moved on.

Looking at it, it reminded me of my school days when I couldn’t do that.

I bought something at the tool store and went to the dormitory to write down something diligently.

Should I kill him now?

no.

If you kill them in the dorms, the problem becomes bigger.

They should pretend to have died at the hands of the dead as much as possible.

‘Anyway, studying even at a time like this-. After all, you’ve been working behind the scenes.’

The more I looked, the worse it got.

He was a talented person who would become a great person in the future.

Much more than yourself spying in the shadows.

Perhaps, a talent that could surpass even Laves, who is praised as the greatest wizard of all time.

The imperial family may have recognized his talent in advance.

In the shadows, Veronica watched the blooming talent.

His back figure looked gigantic, and demonic nature dwelled in it.

Not a single moment, not a single step, not a single breath was wasted.

“after-.”

Manus wrote something down and put it in his bosom.

I took out a thick book from the bookshelf and left the dormitory.

The outside of the window was already stained red.

The sun goes down.

At the same time, peace will also prevail.

“It’s done.”

The thick scent of mana was felt even in the shadows.

His steps seemed impatient.

It wasn’t long until the sun was completely gone.

club room.

The first graders had arrived in advance and were checking the items they had bought.

Each of the notes Manus handed out had different items written on them.

Pearson, who specializes in auxiliary magic, has a scroll that can summon a one-time familiar, and an auxiliary magic artifact that blocks access.

and holy water.

Anais, who is good at wide-area magic and consumes a lot of mana, recommended mana potions, defensive magic scrolls, and disposable magic jewels.

Melanie bought a potion that clears the mind, a magic armor that makes the skin itself hard, and an artifact that can push nearby enemies.

“By the way, Cale. what did you buy?”

“-I have this.”

There was a lot of clinking of bottles.

A bottle that rattles and pours.

this is sick too.

that’s sick too.

Byeongbyeongbyeong-.

“Hey, what is this? Aren’t they all potions?”

“That’s right. This must have cost a lot of money?”

“Why, why is the potion only for you… … .”

Cale shook his head at Melanie’s question.

Why did you ask me to buy this?

Cale hadn’t even thought about that.

click-.

The door opened, and white hair burst in.

Alano, who was busy preparing for the crazy night, appeared.

“Oh, everyone has gathered. however… … What is all this?”

“Ah, senior. This-.”

Pearson, who has a natural wit, quickly stepped forward and explained.

All explanations were quickly and verbosely drawn.

If Anais had not stopped Pearson’s mouth in the middle, the explanation would not have stopped until the sun had completely set.

After hearing the whole story, Alano gave a small admiration.

Manus.

He was more interested in these juniors than he was.

No, maybe that extraordinary and grotesque head made this possible.

Honestly, I was thrilled.

“This is amazing. Manus hasn’t come yet. In fact, I also have a request from Manus.”

Alano looked out the window.

The sun was setting, and the red sky was turning dark blue.

Even the air turned to a stuffy feeling.

“Kale.”

“-yes.”

“Can you learn this now?”

What she held out was a bar with three classes written on it.

– Suddenly here?

Cale, who usually doesn’t show his emotions well, was particularly flustered.

Not long ago, Manus came to the student council room.

Then he handed the book to her and asked for it.

<Ask for juniors. I will try too this time.>

<You are not the only one who is sensitive about death.>

His words, eyes, and facial expressions were more trustworthy than the professors who eloquently told him to trust only them.

This is a request from a close friend.

I thought I would do my best to help.

Cale, who received the book, alternately looked at the book and the scattered potions.

Sarak-.

When I opened the book, there was a small piece of paper inside.

The elegant handwriting stood out.

『One divine magic of light attribute / Learn two magics of each attribute that you are confident in. The recommended magic is marked on the page.』

It was blunt, but meticulous hands could be seen.

The note continued.

Cale’s eyes scanned the letters.

“Your role is to kill as many as possible. You will have to unsparingly reveal your hidden skills.”

After that, I noticed a few dots were stamped on it.

It seemed like he was trying to write something, but it was a sign that he hadn’t written anything.

What was he trying to say?

Suddenly, Cale developed a habit of following his thoughts and thinking similarly to himself.

Because she respected Caesar, who had heard of the great name since she was a child.

It is clear that Manus was worried about-.

“Kale. If you can use magic enough, join me. We will be working hard in the meantime.”

“-but.”

“are you okay. Just, can’t we just block it on top of the castle wall?”

“I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

Pararak-.

After she finished speaking, she unfolded the finely trimmed page.

3 classes.

Complex and geometric lines filled the page.

As she began to concentrate, blue mana flowed out around her.

Seeing this, Alano led the freshman juniors out of the club room.

The sight of them heading towards the wall was quite spleen.

‘Manus.’

Allano thought of Manus.

why he didn’t come here.

Alano pulled out a small note from his chest.

『The shadow is targeting me.』

He said he had business to do alone and headed to a place where people were rare.

It has its back against the flowing river, a place where the dead do not dare to enter.

will go there

Who dares to target Caesar?

My friend was worried, but she had work to do.

He cannot disappoint his friend who believed in him.

It was bustling outside, and darkness fell.

When the end of peace was let go, frenzy came as if it had been waiting for it.

[aaa-!]

The feast of the dead has begun.
