“You need to divide the area.”

Luke came to his senses and stood in front of the blackboard.

“You really suit each other well. You should have been a professor a long time ago… .”

“President.”

“Ahem. Continue.”

The president, who had been smiling happily, coughed and stepped back.

“If you heard from the president, you all know what’s going on now.”

Everyone nodded.

First of all, Nia and Bena saw Gernom in person.

“I heard from my older sister!”

“… I am to my aunt.”

Palace and Fabiana heard the news of the demon’s resurrection from their relatives.

“Honestly, I don’t believe it―”

“Fortunately, no summary is needed.”

“… … ”

Fabiana, her words cut off, glared at Luke.

Luke paid no attention and drew a map of the continent on the board.

To be honest, the only thing Fabiana did wrong was talking rudely to Elin seven years ago.

I just wanted to bully her because she resembled Natia.

“The demon will go to each region to dismantle the marks and retrieve the souls, but the final destination is the capital.”

The capitals were drawn with such precision that they looked like a printer.

He put a dot on it and wrote ‘Imperial’.

“To be precise, that’s the purpose of Carlchad Bertain.”

Germ has no purpose.

I just want to fight the Continent and watch Elin suffer.

However, the contractor, Calchad, is coming to target the emperor.

“The capital and the palace will be protected by Berklin, Rochefort, and the Academy.”

“I will take responsibility and lead.”

The president pounded his chest.

From the moment the Academy joined, the capital became considerably safer.

Even though she’s obsessed with Luke to the point of being ugly.

He is a gentleman whose hobby is collecting pretty girl figures.

Because the constitution that was loved by the ancient spirits was a force that could never be ignored.

“It would be better for others to protect their own clan and nearby areas.”

Naturally, the Palace of Berkeley and the Palace of Rochefort are the capitals.

Fabiana of Raceton to the West.

Nissen’s Bena was put in charge of the south.

“I doubt that will happen, but if you do, don’t even think about confronting the devil directly.”

What they want is not the devil’s seal.

In the first place, the only thing that could hit Gernom was Leo’s Dragon Sword.

The seal must be prepared by Luke and Elin.

Stalling time and reporting as quickly as possible.

And minimize damage.

This was the role that the Demon Seal Army had to play.

“I believe you understand. Then let’s disband.”

Those who nodded heavily stood up from their seats.

* * * * *

I left the academy.

The plan has been delivered, so the other graduates will be led by the president.

It is unknown whether one believes in the resurrection of an ancient being or not.

That was also something the president had to take care of.

Luke turned around and took in the vast academy grounds.

A place where I had to adapt as soon as I landed in this world.

It was a small world to Luke.

“Teacher?”

Ellen made a question mark with her hair down when Luke suddenly stopped walking.

“Why?”

“… … Well.”

Luke stroked Elin’s head.

It was a sudden action.

If you ask me why I did that… I just wanted to.

Prison.

Elin also enjoyed Luke’s touch, lying in his arms without saying anything.

“I feel a little emotional today.”

Elin, who had been purring like a listless cat, raised her head.

Because it’s emotional.

It was definitely a word that didn’t suit Luke.

but.

“Because it seems like the end is coming.”

I felt the end approaching.

I wasn’t talking about the end of the world.

I have a gut feeling that if I can just overcome this crisis, I will have escaped the bad ending.

Well, didn’t Ellen grow up so well?

Elin, who should have been frustrated and despairing about her talents, became a great wizard.

He should have been assassinated long ago, but he was alive and well.

He is so healthy and happy that he puts a leash on Luke.

… … Thinking about the ending, I started to doubt whether it was right to grow up well.

I decided to focus on the fact that I survived.

If it’s for Elin’s happiness, I’ll take a leash… … Well, whatever. Let’s just move on.

“The end?”

Of course, that’s Luke’s idea.

Ellen was annoyed by Luke’s words.

“I will definitely save you, teacher.”

I felt uneasy when I saw Luke smiling with such a composed expression.

I wonder if the teacher is thinking bad thoughts again?

Or building a dimension at the cost of one’s own life… .

“… … !”

Creepy.

It was just a thought that popped into my head, but it seemed pretty plausible.

Didn’t you already have a record of making a contract with Bertain at the risk of your soul’s destruction?

If you want to sacrifice yourself and lock up Gernom forever… … .

They had to tie up its limbs and carry it around using space magic.

“That’s not what I meant.”

Luke waved his hand in surprise at the sight of her increasingly cloudy eyes.

“Then?”

“I can’t tell you right now.”

Chorus.

In the blink of an eye, my limbs were bound in chains.

As expected, Luke said calmly.

“I promise. I will never sacrifice myself.”

“… … ”

Elin stopped the chain that was coiling around her like a snake.

He looked at Luke as if telling him to continue.

“There are many things I deliberately left out. Your Majesty, you know that too.”

“… Yeah.”

Even without that, I had been having doubts.

I felt strange when I met the ancient beings.

He kept talking about Luke with the nuance that he was not from this world.

“Have you not asked on purpose until now?”

“… Because the teacher looked troubled.”

“Yes, that’s right. So thank you.”

Luke smiled softly.

“I’ll tell you everything when this is over.”

Elin suddenly felt uneasy.

I heard it from Bena.

You shouldn’t let someone say something like that before something big happens.

“The things the princess was curious about, and the sincerity I wanted to convey―”

“Stop!”

“eup eup.”

Elin covers her mouth.

Luke blinked as if to ask why.

“Just stop there. Don’t say things like that so casually… … .”

Before Ellen could even finish her sentence.

Flash-

Flash-

Flash-

The air around Luke glowed with light.

To be exact, it was the light emitted by the long-distance communication paper in the inventory.

Flash-

Flash-

Contacts pouring in like crazy.

Because it definitely means something happened.

“… It’s because of the teacher.”

Elin glared at Luke with resentful eyes.

* * * * *

Ellen released the chains.

If something happened, it had to be dealt with, regardless of the resentment.

Luke took out a piece of long-distance communication paper.

He still had an expression on his face like he didn’t know what he did wrong.

“What is this… .”

Notifications are printed in a dizzying manner.

Luke checked Aurora’s contact first.

Seongguk decided to take charge of the east.

Did Germ first appear in the East?

After sending the reply, I opened the following contact.

It was a call from Tristin, a secret agent who had gone down south.

Tristin sent the situation in an urgent handwriting.

Life forms in the Southern Great Forest exhibit unusual phenomena.

The docile prey attacks the predator.

Predators eat each other.

It is certainly a strange phenomenon for herbivores to bite carnivores.

In addition, monkeys are said to have flocked to the territory and are trying to destroy the castle walls.

My head started to spin.

So what happened in the East?

Wasn’t it the devil’s doing?

But it’s not like these coincidences can happen at the same time…

Twinkle-

The calls kept pouring in without stopping.

This time it was Leo’s long-distance communication as he headed west alone.

Luke frowned.

Unlike the East and the South, it was certain that there were Kalchads in the West.

I don’t think he’ll act separately from Germ.

What the hell is going on?

“What’s going on?”

Luke’s serious expression.

Elin snatched the long-distance communication paper away.

After carefully reading the events that occurred simultaneously in three places.

“… It all seems like it’s Gernom’s doing.”

I came to a conclusion.

“But that doesn’t make sense.”

“It makes no sense that these things happen by chance.”

“… … ”

“Anyway… I can tell what Gernom is trying to say.”

Ellen bit her lips tightly.

“You are being asked to choose. Where to save and where to discard.”

Where there is no blockage, there is none.

And the sign will definitely be dismantled.

There are three places you can block it.

Forces a choice.

Germ’s trick has begun.
