‘Continuing the strange rumor, is it Claude… I got a job at a general store and there is no quiet day.’

Edin seemed a little tired.

“……”

Saella thought after seeing Edin’s expression.

‘Edin is bothering me.’

Aside from the uncomfortable look on his face when he heard his name earlier, it was clear that he wasn’t very happy about the visit of a guy named Claude.

“Shall we process it?”

“Yes? Oh, no.”

In response to Saela’s sincere question, Edin was shocked and shook his head.

I feel like if I say that even by mistake or as a joke, I’ll really kill you.

Anyway, after calming him down and going outside, I saw Claude signing autographs for students with a proud expression on his face.

His face was a little drier than before, and his eyes were dull, so it seemed like not being able to sleep for a few days due to the curse of insomnia had taken a toll on him.

“Uh, hey. It’s been a while?”

Claude, who was signing autographs for students, spotted Edin and said hello.

Claude pushes away the students who had gathered to sign his autograph and approaches Edin.

He looked at Edin and handed him a note.

“Come to the place written there by the time written down. Because it’s not something worth talking about so openly. Don’t tell anyone and come.”

He speaks in a whisper so low that only Edin nearby can hear.

Of course, Saela, who was behind her, heard the whole thing as she had sensitive hearing.

“Hey. Don’t get too close, right?”

Saela immediately stepped forward and pushed Claude away from Edin.

“What the fuck? This elf bastard.”

Claude frowned and tried to say something.

“…!!”

I flinched in surprise at the unusual energy I felt from Saella and closed my mouth.

After being dealt a blow by Mureos, who was stronger than him, Claude went from being a neutral person who didn’t care about his strength to being weak to the strong.

Although I was curious as to why an elf like this suddenly appeared next to Edin.

I wasn’t really interested in that anyway.

No, I wasn’t that interested in Edin to begin with.

I just want to take revenge on Chairman Mureos by using him.

“Anyway, come there. Understand? This is an order from the guild elders. You know if I break it, right?”

“……”

Edin was dumbfounded at the sight of Claude holding an order with a confident expression.

Even though there were instructions from the guild elders.

How can you confidently speak in such a commanding tone to someone you kicked out with your own hands?

‘Could it be that I still look like a subordinate who follows his orders?’

I thought it was really stupid if you really thought that way.

They say they’re here to talk about things that are difficult to talk about, but they openly come into the academy, gather students together, and turn off all aggro.

It was a true feast of arrogance and stupidity.

“Elder? The elder said he had some business to do with me.”

However, it is an order from an adventurer guild elder.

Apart from Claude’s attitude, this was something that could not be ignored.

In a larger sense, the Adventurer Academy is part of the Adventurer’s Guild, and in the end, Edin is still part of the Adventurer’s Guild.

That’s why you can’t carelessly disobey the elders, the upper levels of the adventurer’s guild.

I don’t know if there is a special reason, but there is no reason to refuse.

Maybe Claude’s attitude is more stupid and bold because he knows that.

“Mr. A, if you just come, you will come. Why do you have so many questions?”

When Claude became irritated, Saela’s eyes, who were behind Edin, sparkled.

“Hey, rookie warrior. I am not currently a member of the Academy or the Adventurer’s Guild. You are a warrior, it is the guild elder’s order, and I can kill you regardless.”

Those eyes were sincere.

I was planning on putting an arrow in my temple right now.

Claude, who sensed the sincerity, was startled and took a step back.

“City, fuck. Are you crazy? So do you think you’ll just stay in the guild? Not only you but all the elves will be subject to purges from the entire continent?”

Although he was a little scared, Claude did not give up and responded.

Although there was some exaggeration in what he said, it was not completely wrong.

The adventurer’s guild has now grown enormously in size, and has deep connections with influential figures from each country.

Even though it is Mureos Avantredine, which is in the top five on all continents.

Lunarin Brettis, the third daughter of Count Brettis, a famous magic family in the Myos Empire.

Even among the elf race, Saela has exceptional talent and has achieved S-rank adventurer status.

Order to exterminate the entire adventurer guild.

What if, instead of becoming an adventurer, heroes from all over the continent who have settled down somewhere else rush to capture you?

It is safe to say that, at least on this continent, there is nowhere to live safely.

This was the reason why he could not disobey the instructions of the adventurer guild elders without a proper justification.

That’s what power is.

No matter how powerful an individual is, in the end, he cannot win against a group that is entangled in power.

However, there is only one thing that can beat it.

“What should I do? Edin is more important than those things.”

It was ‘madness’.

Pure madness.

That alone made me free from the bonds of this world.

“Well, what is this crazy guy…”

When Claude saw Saela’s eyes filled with fearsome madness, he felt fear not from the magic or powerful aura.

I felt a more fundamental and horrifying fear than that.

“Ah, anyway, I said it clearly. Got it?”

Anyway, Claude tried to go back as if he had finished his business.

But then.

“Please wait.”

A white-haired beauty slowly descended from the sky.

The light purple robe flutters like wings, adding to the mystery.

He was the chairman of Mureos.

“If you had anything to do at the academy, I would have told you to come and talk to me.”

Chairman Mureos looked quite angry.

The reason is, as I just said, Claude disobeyed the chairman’s words and acted on his own terms.

After hearing that Claude’s purpose for coming to the academy was Edin, Chairman Mureos immediately told him to bring him to him instead of leaking elsewhere.

However, Claude ignored those words, bypassed the guards, and came alone to meet Edin at the general store.

“True B. I’m not your subordinate, so why should I listen to that? The guild elders here also gave orders.”

In front is Chairman Mureos.

Behind him is a crazy elf with eyes shining with madness.

Although Claude came out strongly to Chairman Mureos, he was very embarrassed on the inside.

‘What the fuck? I just came to meet Edin. Why do I have to be among these monsters?’

That damn old woman who cast a curse spell of insomnia.

A really crazy idiot.

After all, both of them were monsters that Claude could not defeat even if he fought them wholeheartedly.

Claude was caught in the middle and surrounded.

He decided to get out of this place quickly.

“My business is done. It’s not like I had an accident at the academy. Leave me alone.”

I had told Edin not to tell anyone, so I didn’t expect him to tell Chairman Mureos.

In the first place, I haven’t even told Edin that I’m aiming for Mureos’ chairmanship, so there’s nothing the chairman can find out if I ask him anything.

‘Well, even if he knew something, he wouldn’t say it because I told him not to.’

Edin is an errand boy or subordinate from long ago who still listens well to what he says.

Claude was thinking that much.

So I never thought he would disobey his instructions.

“Edin, what’s going on? Did that man say something?”

“No, whatever. I didn’t say much.”

And in fact, he did not say anything, just as Claude instructed.

‘Kkkk, yeah. I remember very well who I am.’

Of course, that wasn’t the reason Claude expected.

‘It’s annoying right now, so let’s just send it back.’

Although it was an order from the elders, no proper reason was given anyway.

I didn’t even mention how important it is.

I concluded that it wouldn’t matter if I just ignored it with the excuse that I was busy with work.

No matter how great the elders are, there is no reason or content.

It is said that they were too busy to follow instructions that did not even explain their importance.

You can’t talk about severe punishment or extermination based on that.

Well, I don’t know what it’s about.

Considering that it is not something to talk about here, there is a high probability that it is not normal.

‘There’s no reason to listen.’

In the end, this doesn’t even convey the content properly in the first place.

It was Claude’s mistake as he openly came to the academy and delivered instructions in a strange way.

‘I studied hard to help a guy like that. ‘I was such a fool too.’

Of course, thanks to that, I was able to accumulate knowledge and skills and be where I am now.

Anyway, Edin decided to just let Claude go and completely ignore him.

“Are you okay?”

Chairman Mureos asked Edin while glaring at Claude who was leaving.

He seemed worried about retaliation from Claude and the elders.

“It’s okay. I don’t plan on going anyway. You can explain the reason appropriately. They’ll probably think it’s Claude’s fault too.”

Saying that, he crumpled up the note and threw it in the trash can.

I didn’t even read the content at all.

But at that time, Saela sneakily approached him and asked him.

“Edin, the place written on that note. Shall I go and process it after checking it?”

“…Oh, no. Can you not ask that question?”

Still, it was a bit weird to suddenly kill him.

Rather than feeling sorry for Claude.

A storm that arises due to the death of a warrior.

He thought about the damage it would cause to Edin himself and the people around him.

“Oh, yes.”

Saella looked slightly sullen at Edin’s answer.
