Episode 82 – At the Swindler’s Word, There is No Salvation

#One

Academy history professor Mia watched the game quietly.

Her instructions to Lupera were simple.

All he had to do was bring the prepared medicine near the monster.

If the drugged monsters start rampaging, everything will be over.

Being a teacher has many advantages.

That stupid traveler still only knows that this place is a holy place.

However, the tower was just a field of opportunity.

If Lupera was doing well, he thought it would be okay to gradually increase the number of people.

‘If you take over the academy first… … Even nobles can be driven out. Huhu-.’

It started as a small dream.

People look down on commoners.

Even though there have been commoners throughout history, nobles are always unafraid of commoners.

I just wanted to change the perception.

As the years passed, she suffered all sorts of tragedies.

My parents were unfairly taken away, and I wandered in an unknown estate.

It was easy to hide the past because he was a commoner, but a stable life was just as far away.

‘I will definitely create a world where commoners stand tall.’

The ideal of her walking on the thorny road soon became a desire.

She did what she could and entered the academy in search of talent.

And, she knew there was space to make her dreams come true.

It was a field of opportunity, and a place where a huge flow could be made.

Where no one knows, she has been preparing for years.

It took quite a few victims, but it was okay.

Because they were all nobles.

“Let’s see the strength of the nobles.”

She looked at the evaluation where no one cared.

In his hand was the answer sheet that the students had worked hard on.

This is her professor’s office.

Of course, it was a place no one could approach.

No, I thought so.

smart-.

“This is the head maid. May I come in for a moment?”

“Oh yes, come in.”

She straightened her expression and replied.

head maid.

how long ago did it change

It was said that he had been dispatched from the great family, Caesar.

She thoroughly checked her surroundings to see if she might catch the pod.

The door opened, and she found the maid coming with a bundle of test papers.

Does the maid do anything like that these days?

“Professor Trail is busy, so I came instead. Excuse me.”

“no. You are suffering a lot.”

“It is overrated. I just do what I have to do.”

While laughing at each other, they didn’t take any action.

The maid took out a small bottle from her bosom.

Professor Mia asked with her eyes as if what it was.

The head maid opened her mouth with a small smile.

“Students asked for it. The name… … Oh, he was a Morris student.”

“ah-. thank you.”

“Then, suffer.”

Arden quietly withdrew.

The door closed again, and Professor Mia looked at the bottle suspiciously.

Someone gave you this for yourself?

“You have to be able to believe it.”

It was the same at the academy.

There were also those who quietly ignored them just because they were commoners.

No, it didn’t matter.

She just wanted to believe that.

Their eyes, their actions and questions, their… … .

Professor Mia put the bottle aside with a displeased look on her face.

sparkling drink.

Originally, he had a personality that would not have accepted it, but the name Maurice was taken.

‘He was a commoner too. Shall we use it with friends?’

In that sense, you should drink this drink well.

She put the sparkling drink in her personal belongings bag.

Thinking of her next plan, she called out Lupera’s name.

“Lupera, Loupera, you should be good to me.”

She continued to score as she hummed.

In my heart, I wanted to mess up the evaluation of the nobles, but if I did, I could have been kicked out of the real academy.

In the meantime, she saw an answer sheet that looked like it could be sucked in.

“… … what.”

[Caesar Manus]

Seeing his name written in elegant handwriting, I felt a surge of anger.

tyrant?

Yes, it was a fitting name.

It was also a name that must be brought down someday.

However, contrary to her instinctive hatred, reason was praising him.

Point out the main points, neatly organized narrative type.

Multiple-choice, not a single question wrong.

However, the last question was not written at all.

“So it is. It’s still too much for a sophomore level. Whoops.”

The last question had no answer sheet.

During the meeting for the final report, did not a very good story come up?

She giggled and let her imagination run wild.

Even his already twisted mind, and what kind of miracles the child Manus had performed.

without realizing it all.

Lupera remembered.

the sweet dreams she gave me.

The rope of possibility she gave.

It showed a secret stairway that could bring down those up there.

She taught history and was very knowledgeable.

Also, there was a secret that only Lupera knew.

In fact, she is quite well versed in alchemy.

‘The result is this.’

Mulberry-.

The sound of opening the lid was very pleasant.

He quietly approached the monsters.

Poor bastards, locked behind bars, waiting for their moment to die.

Lupera looked around to follow the professor’s orders.

There were guards guarding the cage, but it was a mission that could be fulfilled without going near us.

Out of sight of the guards, he spread the reagent on the floor.

‘This is it.’

It was a simple mission.

However, the aftermath will never be small.

The reagent Professor Mia gave was a reagent that awakened the ferocity flowing inside the monster.

A sweet smell spread.

The ones who smell it first will have a stronger effect.

And, the guys in front were monsters for the ‘nobles’ to deal with.

‘You’re going to watch them run off. and… … I’ll take advantage of that gap and go up step by step.’

Recovery magic was not omnipotent.

Because what the injured fear the most is the trauma, not the healing of the trauma.

Although the injuries were completely healed with recovery magic, there were also those who had great trauma and their talents were weakened.

This was exactly what Lupera was aiming for.

Professor Mia said she had an interview with Professor Trail.

What number did you write there?

<I’ve taken care of it, so don’t worry.>

<I’m roasting Professor Trail, it’s not work.>

<Rather, I liked that it was neatly organized. That’s stupid ->

The words I heard in the space of just the two of us.

It was a secret message that allowed Lupera to act without hesitation.

After completing the mission and leaving quietly, a shadow appeared.

“hmm-.”

Umbra, who had watched all the actions of the man, Lupera, moved Mana.

He sniffed, sniffed, and collected some of the reagents scattered on the floor.

It was hard to find a sample as it had already permeated the floor, but the Umbra were excellent.

If you can’t achieve it with only this level of skill, you won’t lose face as a shadow protecting Caesar.

Mana swept the floor, and the shadow skillfully took samples.

‘It’s the first reagent I’ve ever seen. but… … Something ominous. Let’s start by looking at it.’

Although Umbra possessed a wide range of knowledge, it was impossible to find out at once even an independent invention.

How to find out everything by taking a sample and researching it in various ways.

He disappeared again, as usual.

No one knew he had come and gone.

In the meantime, the breathing of the monsters inside the cage began to grow rougher.

[I will report it.]

“Speak.”

[After spraying an unknown reagent, he returned to the square.]

“What color is the reagent?”

[It was red.]

“I get it.”

Manus rose from his seat.

Combining the information that came to mind, I guessed what reagent Lupera used.

missing child.

A delusionist who wanted to attach a last name to himself and become a tower noble.

Calling herself ‘Annabelle’, she wanted to become a puppet to punish nobles.

What Professor Mia said.

All of them were disgusting, and remarks that shook my mentality.

‘I must have used red, blue, and white reagents.’

The blue reagent has the effect of summoning demons.

The white reagent controlled the demon’s ego.

Lastly, the red reagent was a reagent that greatly increased their abilities.

I don’t know when she first developed that reagent, but it’s probably one of them.

then-.

‘I must move quickly.’

It would have been nice if you responded earlier.

If you act without justification, you will be the one who suffers.

The other person is still an academy professor.

Now that we have the evidence, we can move.

The place he headed was where the chairman was waiting.

There is still a little time left before evaluation.

gotta go fast

“I wonder how the chairman will turn out.”

As I was moving my steps, organizing my thoughts, I felt a presence following me before I knew it.

Manus quietly opened his mouth.

“What is your reaction?”

“There was no reaction. But she left the catalyst behind, so she won’t throw it away because of her personality.”

“Good job.”

“Whoops, that’s an overstatement. This is fun.”

Aden’s voice rang softly.

Difficulty missions that are too easy compared to the past.

Manus thoroughly kept his promise.

If you suspect Professor Mia, you can order her killed.

However, he didn’t.

It was a just cause, but it was felt that it was also to keep the promise with Aden.

“Go and tell Cale to be careful.”

“-All right.”

the shadows have moved away

smart-.

The old-fashioned door rang with a resonant sound.

Chairman Nyx called for him to come in, and Manus took the sample he received from Umbra and went inside.

“What is it?”

“Lupera, who came back from the tower, has these reagents.”

“Let’s see.”

Nix took the sample and put on the monocle.

As if it were an artifact, it contained subtle mana.

After looking at the reagent for a while, he hardened his complexion.

He would have found it too.

The chairman asked with a serious expression.

what the heck is this

“What is going on?”

“It seems that Lupera made some kind of contract at the tower. It must mean that unknown forces are working secretly within this.”

“In the academy… … It could be. All right. However, the evaluation must continue. Manus. I will believe in you.”

Manus nodded.

“Interrogate Lupera. Today, I will enter the tower.”

“All right.”

Nyx gave an appropriate answer.

it’s time to move

First of all, we should start by destroying the enemy’s plan nicely.

There is no villain that goes all the way in this game.

It’s just their job to do their job and disappear.

I’ve been leading the story so far, so it was time to leave.
