By the time the end-of-semester party was over, the academy dean had been feeling what it was like to have one’s lifespan shortened.

People everywhere started asking him for things.

The starting point was the first queen of the Kingdom of Soladdin.

On the day of the end-of-semester party, she came in disguise and looked around the academy. She saw what she didn’t like and announced that she would put her people in the academy.

This is not consultation, but unilateral notification.

At first, the dean tried to resist for the independence of the academy, but he was helpless in the face of pressure from the nobles who funded the academy.

In this way, the first queen’s notification was semi-compulsorily permitted.

After that, the second queen came and said that she would also include her people.

The dean, who had been expecting Queen 2 to step forward from the moment he accepted Queen 1’s request, smiled and accepted her request.

I thought it would be more beneficial for the academy if the second queen’s people also came in and kept each other in check, rather than being filled with the first queen’s people.

The problem was that as these requests continued like crazy for three months, professors at the existing academy began to protest.

Those who raised their voices asking where the independence of the academy has gone are leaving, and those who came in through positions of power are taking their places and adjusting the conflict between professors.

The dean, who has aged dramatically over the past few months, has decided to step down from his position as soon as this year ends.

I felt like if I spent any more time in this crazy place, I would die from exhaustion before I could fulfill my purpose.

When the dean was wondering how to naturally step down, Carl, one of the academy’s professors, visited the dean’s office.

The dean broke into a cold sweat at the appearance of the knight, whom he rarely met because he was busy working as a professor and serving his master.

What’s happening again this time? What happened that brought the knight of the Arn family here? Is this related to the discovery of an evil spirit’s follower on the streets not long ago?

“A follower of an evil spirit has infiltrated the academy.”

What Professor Carl said was worse than anything the Dean could have imagined.

A follower of an evil spirit entered the academy!?

Doesn’t this mean that the safety measures created in conjunction with the church did not work at all?

The good news was that the students of the academy, including the saint, had already subdued the followers.

If the saint had not made the first move, a great disaster would have unfolded during the academy’s entrance ceremony.

“How is the situation going now?”

“There were no injuries, and the followers of the evil spirit were guided to the church by the saint herself.”

“…It means the cleanup is already over. Thank goodness. thank god. I can’t tell you how fortunate I am that the saint is here.”

“The saint who solved this problem was…”

“…Hmm? What did you say, Professor Carl?”

“No. I’ve finished the story, so I’ll go back now.”

“That’s right. ah. Please also convey your gratitude to the saint and other nobles. I will visit you separately later, but before that, I should at least tell you my thoughts in advance.”

However, the dean’s relief did not last for more than a day.

The second queen’s confidant came to know about what had been quietly handled inside the academy and presented a crystal ball connected to the second queen.

“Dean. How on earth did this happen?”

Queen 2’s confidant came and presented a crystal ball connected to Queen 2.

Not long ago, a follower of the Void was discovered on the streets, and he asked if it made sense to relax internal inspections of the academy. The second queen’s protest about whether personnel verification was being done was completely normal, so the dean could not say anything.

Of course, I could say it. Things like that it was impossible to verify personnel due to the chaos caused by the royal family’s power struggle, or that even though people from the church were called in to check, nothing was found.

“Please understand that I will send someone to check the barrier once again.”

“Yes. All right. 2Queen.”

However, the dean knew that making excuses would only arouse the other person’s anger, so he quietly lowered his head.

After that, the dean received complaints from numerous noble families and other academies, and each time, he felt fortunate that it was concluded before anything happened.

If I had found out about the problem only after something went wrong like last year, I would have lost my head physically.

Just when the dean, who had been dealing with all kinds of people’s protests, had finally found time to catch his breath, a girl appeared in the dean’s office.

A person who was despised by everyone in the kingdom until a year ago, but has now become a talent that all powers want to attract.

A young lady whose beauty is highly praised by the apostles of the Arts Church and other members of the Church, calling her the incarnation of the goddess.

A genius who is evaluated as having the potential to change the landscape of the continent in the future.

Lucy Alln had visited the dean’s office.

She entered the room in her school uniform and took a seat on the sofa without even saying hello to the dean.

The expression “insolent” suited Lucy’s appearance as she crossed her legs and nodded at the dean as if showing off, but the dean could not say anything to her.

Because the lady in front of me was the one who saved the Dean’s head from being blown off by solving various problems at the academy.

The dean, who was blessed again this time, smiled and took a seat across from Lucy Alln.

“What are you doing at this late hour? Lady?”

“I have news that will shorten the life of our poor dean.”

“…News that could shorten your lifespan?”

“Are you curious? If you ask me if you really want to hear it, I can tell you something special.”

“What. What are you talking about?”

“Puhaha. It looks like he was really scared because his voice was shaking. It’s difficult. You’re so scared, but I thought you’d take your breath away if I told you this news.”

“What should I do?” muttered to herself, Lucy tapped her chin and the Dean carefully lowered his head.

“Please be merciful and share the news. Lady Aln.”

“Hmm. Since the dean looks so miserable, I will be a kind person and help you.”

Lucy giggled and took out a piece of stationery from her arms. The dean who received it froze after checking the seal on the letter.

If the dean’s eyes were not mistaken, the seal contained in the letter belonged to the church that gave it.

“What are you doing? Open it and read it. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.”

The dean, unable to resist the urging, opened the letter and fell to the floor when he saw the words inside.

What was written inside the letter was that the church that gave it would directly condemn this incident.

In other words, it was said that the religion with the greatest influence on the continent would directly hold the dean accountable for his sins.

“Wow. Were you so happy that your legs felt weak? I’m glad you like it so much.”

“This. Is this real?”

“Have you had trouble with your memory because you stayed up too much at night? Who is my friend? I can’t believe it’s a lie.”

The Dean’s eyes fluttered as he remembered who was next to Lucy Alln, and then he quickly raised his head.

There must be a reason why you brought this to me. Otherwise, you would have just watched me die!

“What. What do you wish for? Youngae.”

“Me? I think it would be fun to see the incompetent dean struggling and languishing in despair.”

“Please. I will do anything. I will do anything, so please help me.”

I can somehow overcome the condemnation of other nobles. The Dean is also a nobleman and a powerful person in the Kingdom of Soladdin, so it is possible for him to end up being reduced to an old man in the backroom.

However, it is not the given church. If the church you gave him directly condemns him, his acquaintances, his family, and his country will all abandon him.

“Are you really going to do something?”

The dean, who had been praying by banging his head on the ground several times, raised his head only after hearing Lucy Alln’s voice.

“Yes. of course. Youngae.”

“Then lick it.”

“…Yes?”

“Was I speaking in a foreign language?”

The dean, seeing the shoes flapping in front of him, licked his lips and then cautiously opened his mouth. However, instead of allowing it, Lucy pushed his forehead and made it fall out.

“Puhhh. I said this as a joke, but I never thought they would actually do it. I guess the person who grew older wanted to live even if it meant struggling in an ugly way?”

“…”

“Swear that you will work for me. Then, I will stop the condemnation of the church you gave me. Even a senile dean would understand this, right?”

“…Yes. All right. Youngae.”

“Ah. And I have one more thing to ask you. If you are the dean, you can listen.”

“Please tell me anything. I am willing to follow.”

“I would like to bring one of my attendants.”

‘I didn’t know things would work out this easily.’

After completing my oath with the dean, I felt embarrassed by the fact that things had progressed so easily.

I thought it would work out well since it was my grandfather’s plan, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.

‘…Isn’t it a bit hard to even guess that this incident isn’t known?’

In the first place, the fact that the evil god’s followers had invaded the academy was not spread anywhere. Unlike the commotion on Academy Street, this incident was handled quietly.

The priests of the church who took the followers only think that Fabi did something, and they don’t even guess that a problem occurred at the academy.

So what are the things that have put pressure on the dean so far?

Excluding the first two queens, most of them are fakes created jointly by the Newman family and Caria’s subordinates. So, the dean was scared by the fake protest and gave in.

Grandpa’s plan was like this.

First, I scare them through the second queen, who is related to me.

Then, I put pressure on them with a mix of real protests and forgeries that I can mobilize within my network, and finally, I deal the final blow using a letter from the church and that’s it.

Part of the plan was that the dean’s office intentionally made a strong sell. That way, you can take the oath without the dean noticing anything strange.

‘I guess so.’

Soon the dean would realize that he had been completely fooled, but by then it was already too late.

Since he has already made an oath with me, he has to follow my words as much as possible.

There was no way he, a scholar and nobleman, could endure the dishonor of breaking his oath. By doing this, I was able to find a proper source of information instead of Luca, who might make an unexpected move at any time.

This is what people with a normal way of thinking like. Unlike crazy people like Luca and Rasha, you can follow your thoughts, so you can do things with confidence.

‘It’s not a particularly great reason. ‘I need Erin to do my makeup perfectly.’

‘That’s not the only reason. ‘This is more important than you think.’

Grandpa, the god you serve wants me to be cremated and pray!
