“You bastard! Don’t you stand there?!”

When Hindrasta suddenly jumped off the rooftop, Dian threw herself after him.

“What on earth did I do wrong!!”

Hindrasta, who landed on the floor and rolled several times, got up and shouted.

“I’ll tell you what I did wrong, so come here!”

“Are you crazy?!”

Hindrasta thought as he ran away to the north gate with all his might.

I don’t know how he figured out that I was the source of the rumor, but let’s leave the academy first.

If you get caught, the minimum is death, but if you escape, you can survive if you’re lucky.

That guy said last time that the hero isn’t here, so even if he comes to catch me right away, I’ll have enough time to run away.

Neither that guy nor that Dian guy can use tracking magic, so if you go to another kingdom far away from here, you’ll never find it.

If you had the ability to find me, you wouldn’t have chased me for months during the war.

“I won’t kill you, so stop!”

Hearing Dian’s chilling cries behind him, Hindrasta regretted his past self.

I lived quietly and well for 10 years after the war, but what could have caused me to be so upset? .

But you can’t just pass by when the board is ready for you!

If he hadn’t been alone with that human woman, and if that stupid black bitch hadn’t shown me that he likes Dian, I wouldn’t have done it either!

It’s wrong for the person who stole it, but it’s also wrong to leave the door open so they can steal it?! That’s right!!

But what on earth is that dark elf good for, a crazy guy like that? I don’t understand. anyway!!

“It’s your last chance! If you don’t stop now, I’ll scold you even if you stop later!”

Hindrastar almost stopped for a moment due to Dian’s threatening cajoling, but in the end, he persevered and ran outside through the north gate.

If you go straight from here, you can enter the city through the eastern corner of the city center. If you blend in with the crowd there, you’ll never be found.

Even if he was Dian, he wouldn’t be so intelligent that he would commit the atrocity of beating up a pretty and cute female student and dragging her by her hair in full view!

Of course, Dian wasn’t that stupid and so he caught Hindrasta before entering the city center.

“Ugh!”

Hindrastar suddenly stopped and screamed when he saw Dian blinking in front of him.

It stopped so suddenly that the entire ground was shaken up and the paving stones stood up like lizard scales.

“Please help me! A professor is trying to rape a female student! Please help me!”

Hindrasta cried out desperately, but there was no one to help her.

Coming all the way from the North Gate to run away from Dian was rather self-inflicted.

Run away? Kneel down? No matter what you choose, it is inevitable that you will eventually be beaten by Dian.

Then, Hindrasta got so scared that he lost his temper and made the worst choice.

Hindrastar exploded the aura.

As he gathered the aurors with all his might, blood began to sprout like spider webs on Hindrasta’s forearms and nape of his neck.

As the aura that boiled like crazy flowed through the veins, Hindrasta’s entire body seemed to be covered in a brightly shining net.

Kwasizik, Kwasizik, Kwasizik!

The paving stones and floor caved in, unable to withstand the weight of the aurors, and the pink pigtails burned upside down like the flames of lava.

[I can’t live like this anymore!!!]

When Hindrastar shouted Dragon Roar with his human body, birds from the nearby forest flew up in unison, cackling.

The body of a weak polymorph woman, but inside is a mighty white dragon.

If she truly works hard, no one can stop her… .

Sigh!

“Kkieek!”

Dian’s finger broke through the aura and hit Hindrasta’s forehead.

Hindra Star, who was reeling from the impact of shaking the goal, managed to regain its balance.

If I hadn’t been wearing an aura, I would have fainted immediately… .

Sigh!

On the second night, Hindrasta collapsed.

About thirty minutes later we returned to the academy.

“Bwaaeaeaeang!!”

It is very noisy because Hindrasta, who follows behind, is crying.

So who wants to make a fuss so shamefully? It’s like a dragon with poor discernment.

First of all, I succeeded in keeping that guy quiet for the time being.

Now, we need to stop the muddy atmosphere and educate children about psychological warfare.

“Pellemia. Let’s work together with me.”

“What is it?”

When I visited the professor’s office, Felemia smiled as she adjusted her glasses.

“It’s about Sophie students, let’s organize this as a practice for psychology warfare subjects.”

“I roughly understand what you mean. This is a response to the spread of rumors, right?”

“Exact. How did you know?”

“If you do this for a long time, you can roughly tell a person’s intentions just by looking into their eyes.”

“From now on, I will have to close my eyes in front of you.”

“Still, there is a way to know everything. Anyway, how will you do it?”

I told Felemia what I had in mind.

Pelemia said it was a good idea and made a few suggestions, and we gradually refined it.

However, Pelemia keeps asking me a bit too much and trying to make eye contact.

When I made eye contact and wondered why this was happening, I suddenly felt something sharp and intangible coming at me and then bouncing.

At the same time, Pelemia flinched and took a small step back. Seup, that… You’re using technology on me.

When I blocked her technique, Pelemia never made eye contact with me after that.

“Professor Ismera. Let’s talk for a moment.”

When we went to the head professor’s office in the theory department, Ismera was scared and quickly backed away, as if she was carrying an unclean contagious disease.

“Don’t come in!”

“Yes?”

“Talk there!”

Judging by the reaction, Ismera also seems to have heard part of the rumors going around among the kids.

“Tomorrow, I plan to gather all the students in the main auditorium and give them some education. I think you should know.”

“Tell that to the principal!”

“Okay. I told you clearly.”

When I left Ismera’s professor’s office and went straight to the principal’s office, Kirrin stood up and greeted me with a smile.

Normally, the reactions of the elf Ismera and the dark elf Kirrin should be reversed.

“Dian! What’s going on?”

“Principal. Tomorrow, all students will be in the main auditorium… .”

“Do that.”

All of a sudden, Kirrin agreed.

“Huh? You haven’t even said anything yet?”

“You’re trying to clear up any misunderstandings about this, right? If that’s the case, I totally agree.”

At that, Kirrin’s face blushed and her ears drooped. It’s quite cute that it looks like a puppy looking for praise.

The next day, as I reported to Kirin, I gathered all students and faculty in the main auditorium.

As soon as we went up to the podium, the students started chattering and there was silence for a moment as they waited for it to die down.

“Joyooong!!”

However, when it showed no signs of abating, Orc Brog let out a battle cry that chilled the stomach.

The students lost their blood and fell silent at the terrifying shout, and some professors from the theory department stumbled and almost collapsed.

“I, the chief combat officer, am disappointed in you all.”

When the auditorium became quiet, I slowly opened my mouth.

“I never thought you would be like this. I feel like all the hard work I’ve done so far has been in vain.”

The students, so mesmerized by the battle cry, could not say anything and just looked at each other.

“There’s been a strange rumor going around these days. You will know what that means without me having to say it myself.”

After looking around at the students, he continued.

“This is a rumor intentionally spread on campus by the Department of Combat.”

“Wow… ?!”

I heard a sound of breathing coming from somewhere.

“You probably learned about ‘incitement’ in psychological warfare class. There, you.”

“Yes, yes… !”

The student sitting in the front row who was singled out by me got up nervously.

“What is incitement?”

“It is to encourage others to do something or take action… !”

“Public opinion manipulation?”

“It is an act of an individual or group distorting public opinion through distortion of facts or false information for the individual’s personal purpose or the benefit of the group!”

“I know it well!!”

When I shouted, the students flinched.

“Why on earth did the special mission academy students, who will become key agents of the empire in the future, fall for such absurd rumors? This senior combat officer is disappointed that no one recalled the content from the psychological warfare class and had no doubts. Were you guys dragged here?!”

“No!”

“Professor!”

Then someone bravely raised their hand.

“I understand everything you said so far. However, many students saw Professor Dian and the first graduating class president together. How would you explain that? Surely you wouldn’t say that all of this was just an act?”

“Of course not. Because that’s true.”

“Aaaa! That’s ridiculous!”

A scream was heard from somewhere.

“In the meantime, I have been teaching advanced courses to Knightley students, who are the academy’s top students. Knightley was the only student who met the very strict criteria, and it could be seen as a special favor, so it was kept a secret until now.”

“This is an advanced course? Are you talking about night infiltration, Bruen Plateau wild horses, and academy alumni trolls? Do you have any evidence?”

“Combat department professors here are witnesses. Professor Waver, Professor Anna, Professor Orendi.”

As the professors I called each came out and testified that they had participated in all of the events, the students began to whisper.

“Do you understand now? You all were fooled. It puts to shame everything that the chief combat officer has worked hard to reorganize since taking office.”

One by one, the students lowered their heads, and funny enough, Kirin, who was standing next to me, also lowered her head as if she was criticizing herself.

“But it’s not too late.”

He said, slamming the tip of his practice wooden sword onto the floor of the podium.

“The instigator spreading rumors and causing chaos in the academy is still active. Here, the chief combat officer would like to make a suggestion.”

When all the students looked at me, I was silent for a moment and then spoke.

“The psychological warfare practice in the first half of the year is to apply what you have learned in class to sort out the truth and find the instigator. I will give full marks to the person who finds it in the first half of the psychological warfare subject. Exams are of course excluded.”

“Ma, perfect score?!”

“But you need to bring solid evidence. I don’t want to catch a live person. The deadline is next week. Considering the size of the academy and the number of people, a week is enough.”

Pelemia is famous for its poor scores, so it is said that no one has ever had a perfect score in the psychological warfare subject.

It is said that if you find the person spreading the rumor in this situation, you will receive a perfect score without even taking the test, so this is a fairly extraordinary reward.

As expected, the auditorium became noisy as students talked excitedly to each other.

The source of this uproar is the ambiguous relationship between me and Knightley.

Even professors of the Department of Combat Studies came forward to explain it, and it turned into empty bullshit that had no credibility at all.

Therefore, the students will truly believe the lie that I intentionally spread rumors for the purpose of practice, and since I offered a huge reward, they will turn on their eyes and go find the instigator.

Of course, there are probably no students who point to Hindrasta as the instigator.

Hindra Star has prepared an escape corner in advance in case she gets caught by me, and it is highly unlikely that students who do not know Hindra Star’s original tendencies will notice it.

Instead, through the process of finding the instigator, children will quickly learn the ability to deal with situations that create social chaos by spreading rumors. That’s enough.

Unlike other combat subjects, I had a lot of concerns about how to practice psychological warfare, but I never thought such a good opportunity would come.

“Now, wait a minute! What are you talking about?”

Knightley screamed something over there, but it was drowned out by the other kids’ voices. If you have anything to say to me, I’ll come back later.

Now that we’ve sorted out the situation to some extent, shall I get ready to go to Linus’ house?

I made a promise to go on the weekend tomorrow.

First of all, let’s hit that thing on the head one more time.

“Why are you hitting me!”

“Looking at your face, I get angry again.”

When I fed honey balm to the head of Hindrasta, who was loitering outside the auditorium, Hindrasta started crying again.

But wait… .It could run away again while I’m away… .

Just throw them in the troll prison together? But magic doesn’t work well on dragons… .

So do I have to drag myself to Linus’ house this weekend?
