XLIX.

“Okay. It just so happened that it worked out well. As you know, I have risen to superhuman status as a wizard and am the dean of this academy, the cradle of intelligence. So, naturally, I had such concerns. Why is the Demon King suddenly invading the continent? What do you think? Olivia, a candidate and princess?”

“That’s… … .”

Is there any way to know?

The reason is not even mentioned in the oracle.

Olivia’s confident snout suddenly closes.

“Okay. You probably didn’t have the presence of mind to think about that, right? Because he must have been busy enjoying his position as a candidate. It must have been more fun after I was lucky enough to pass the evaluation.”

Wow, that must really hurt.

He’s like a cruel old man.

“I came to this conclusion after long thought and consideration. Wouldn’t that have given the Devil an excuse to invade? There must have been something on this continent that maximized negative emotions.”

Exclamations of exclamation come out from all over the place as Dean Hu says those words. The exclamation ‘Ah!’ that sounds like the sound of a fool making a sound.

And with nodding, irregular waves appear in various places.

“But isn’t it strange? Meanwhile, the continent was generally peaceful. Of course, there were times when bastards like emperors without any sense started a war by fooling around in the name of a war of conquest, but that also fizzled out after a while. why? Whose gate? Because of the intervention of superhumans like me.”

“Dare to build an empire now!”

Olivia was just about to lose her temper and then made eye contact with the dean and her face turned pale. That princess has felt this before, but she really can’t understand the atmosphere.

“So, the scope was further increased. In the past, even further back, I remembered that there had been a disaster on the continent that even superhumans could not have done. Can you guess what it is?”

It seems like the question is being asked to Princess Olivia, who is pale and can’t even breathe properly, but it is actually a question to the nobles, royal family, and influential figures on the continent.

“No way? That?”

“Ross… T?”

“Are you talking about roast?”

“Roast… .”

The same words carefully flow out from all over the place, turning into a buzzing noise. As if saying a cursed name carefully.

“Okay. A terrible, scary, and cursed plague. LOST. There it was.”

I had guessed that Dean Hu would mention the roast. So there was a person who looked carefully.

Emperor of the Knight Empire Alfonso and Emperor of the Magic Empire Clyton.

The two were fidgeting so much that anyone could see them. As if someone had suddenly been stabbed in the side with a finger.

“But do you know that the cursed plague roast is a plague ‘created’ by human hands?”

“Yes?!”

Even Olivia was so surprised that she asked a question out loud. And it wasn’t just Olivia who was surprised.

The noise from the nobles and influential people who had gathered to watch the game and because I was out for the first time in a while was surprised and the noise grew louder.

At the same time, the energy from Dean Hu’s body seeped into the bodies of the two emperors, as if they wanted to show it off. Before the surprised Olivia could say anything,

“The magic I just cast is a magic that everyone involved in the academy knows.”

“What!”

[# ◦

“That!”

“Of course, you know that you are sensitive to news inside the Academy, right? Candidate Olivia?”

Olivia must have felt an instinctive sense of foreboding at Dean Hu’s words, so she nodded her head in agreement with difficulty. At the same time, he glanced sideways at his father, the Emperor of the Alfonso Empire.

“First of all, you will need proof. To check whether the magic was applied well. ‘I’ll ask you a question.’ What is gender? Lie and say you’re a woman. The leaders of two empires.”

In response to the Dean’s question,

“He’s a man.”

“He is male.”

The two emperors’ answers came out as if they had been waiting. And the emperors who actually answered were surprised by their incomprehensible actions.

Rather than telling the truth, you may have been surprised by the fact that you answered Dean Hu’s question.

“This is a magic originally developed as an interrogation magic. If you can exercise your right to remain silent, there is no way you will be interrogated. If I ask a question, I am sure to answer it. Now then, ‘I’ll ask you a question.’ How was roast born?”

And the bad karma that the previous generations of the two emperors had built up and was forcibly buried, giving off a terrible stench, began to pile up on the arena of the Green Crown Battle through the voices of the two emperors who had been enchanted with voice magnification.

It gave off such a terrible stench that everyone turned their heads.

◈ ◈ ◈

A terrible truth that becomes uncomfortable and even unpleasant when you know it.

It is inevitably said in a public place like this, through the mouth of the person concerned.

Since Dean Hu’s question began with ‘how’ rather than ‘who’, the inconvenient truth about the Plague Lost flowed out of the mouths of the two emperors from start to finish.

The ambitions of two empires.

An experiment that began with a plot to destroy the kingdom’s productive capacity through plague and return the nobles and powerful to the empire.

And the mutation that occurred.

The atmosphere became tense at the point when people became irritated, saying they did not know that even the capital would be in danger.

Didn’t someone stop him?

Of course there were such attempts. But Dean Hu was not an asshole and did he just ignore that?

At first, Dean Hu half-killed those who tried to interfere, but after that, those around him stepped forward to stop those who tried to interfere with the ‘forced confession of conscience.’

While the forced confession of conscience began, there was a lot of noise, but the noise quickly subsided.

And people slowly began to realize what someone had said.

When did Dean Hu, the superhuman figure of Circle 9, who stands quietly in that stadium, become a superhuman?

And what happened when he ascended to superman!

Even more directly, whose daughter is the statue of a woman erected on the way to Evergreen Academy?

and,

“Marlene de Bourbon.”

The moment that name came out of the mouth of Dean Hu, the person involved and the father,

Creepy…

Everyone who heard that voice felt an eerie feeling that made the hairs on their entire bodies stand on end.

It was not only the people involved, Alfonso and the figures of the Cleton Empire, but also Gray, who was a bystander and cheered on Dean Hu, was no exception.

This was proof that Dean Hu was so angry that he could not control himself.

“Margaretta de Sheeran.”

The name that Dean Hu then sighs out is the name of a priest who, like his daughter Marlene, died young while treating a plague while using life force instead of divine power.

“Helena Rose.”

“Cecilia Lobarov.”

“Jelt Luda.”

Dean Hu called the names one by one, firmly but carefully, as if peeling off precious wrapping paper.

Containing desperate, terrible sadness and suppressed anger.

at that time,

“Bona de Pisa!!”

A voice filled with divine power and resentment spread across the stadium, which was filled with an eerie atmosphere, like a razor-blue head.

There, where everyone’s attention was focused, was an old knight, his entire body covered in golden plate mail, standing upright and shedding tears.

Dean Hu then looked at Noh Knight with sad eyes at the unexpected sight and nodded. No, I nodded.

“Chionia Blentte!”

“Martyr de Bonblanc!!”

“Hestia Royna!”

“Rovero Silva!”

Then, as if they had been waiting, someone’s name came out from everywhere. Those names that are called with a feeling of vomiting blood become flames and burn brightly.

And when the surroundings become quiet by fussing or holding back crying instead of calling your name,

“I did not forget their deaths.”

“… … .”

“From then until now, not even for a single moment.”

The dean’s quiet declaration struck everyone’s hearts.

On this day.

The semi-humans suffered internal injuries that required a month of rest to recover, and the two emperors were unable to return to the empire.

This is because a large number of superhumans and semi-superhumans who had gone into hiding and had not been seen since hearing the news visited Evergreen Academy.

It goes without saying that they included those who lost family, relatives, or acquaintances in the plague roast.

And not only did they not allow the two emperors and their guards to leave Evergreen and return to their own country, but they also kept watch over the emperor like guards watching over a criminal.

It is extremely unlikely that this will happen, but nevertheless, in order to prevent the incident from going astray by the emperor committing suicide or something like that.

The two emperors of the two empires are under stricter and safer guard than when they were in their respective imperial palaces. Although the person escorting is giving a murderous gaze to the person being escorted.
