XLVII.

“This festival… Something is strange. It feels ominous. That’s also very ominous!”

“Hohoho. After all, our baby is cute~.”

However, as soon as he laughed bitterly at the clown’s words, unable to refute them by saying, ‘Is that line correct in the current situation?’

“Me too!”

The witch sitting on the broomstick above my head jumps in right away, like a student running because he doesn’t want to miss the last train.

“Huh?”

“I thought that too. Ears, ears, you’re cute… .”

The blush that started from her cheeks spread to her entire face, and the witch’s ears turned red with water. She seemed like she could be called ‘cute’.

“G, it’s real!”

When I saw the witch answering so positively, as if I was nervous about something while I was just smiling without saying a word, I became playful without even realizing it.

“Really? Then prove it.”

“How… ?”

“What is it called a bird kiss or a French kiss?”

“Well, that is! Hehe!”

“As expected, it was a lie… Eup?”

I tried to end it like that as a joke, but the witch’s lips completely blocked mine. As if to stop saying useless things.

“As expected~. Walpurgis’ representative bitch! Our own lips will all be crushed. I have to correct it~.”

“Profit! Oh, no. And the representative prostitute of Walpurgis! Well, what are you doing!”

The clown left the witch’s cry behind and wrapped his arms around my neck, kissed me deeply while sucking on my lips as if inhaling, and then withdrew.

“Me too.”

Lina showed her confidence by jumping in place.

With both hands stretched out towards me. When I bent down, he quickly placed his lips on my cheek as if someone was going to steal it, and smiled happily.

Of course, when I frowned at the sticky-feeling food residue on my cheek,

“Sorry.”

He said, “He looked at my thoughts and used a cleansing magic.”

It was a fun time.

It made me wonder if there had been such a fun and leisurely time since I was awakened, or rather, since I was born.

And, as it does for everyone, time passes particularly quickly.

Eventually, as the sun set, magic lanterns were lighting up the wide street one by one, and the scheduled time arrived.

It was time for the ‘Green Crown Battle’, the highlight of the Evergreen Festival and a showcase for academy graduates, to begin.

It was a competition mainly attended by 6th or 5th graders, who were graduating seniors, and was an opportunity to express oneself to nobles and powerful people. Could this be some kind of job interview?

If you compare it to a candidate competency evaluation, you might think it’s more interesting if you only look at the ‘gruesome’ aspect.

“Hmm.”

People’s reactions are sour.

It was inevitable that the candidate competency evaluation was conducted just a week ago.

In addition to the amazing power used by the candidate, his opponents included lichs, semi-superhumans, and even demons.

There was no way that the nobles who saw something like that would find it fun, exciting, or thrilling to see students at the expert level grumbling.

No matter how boring it is, there will always be an end.

In the end, the rankings were determined from 1st to 4th, and the four male and female students were congratulating me and looking at me with sparkling aspirations.

Directly towards me in this crowd of spectators.

‘why?’

Before the question could be resolved, the person who stood on the wide non-stage was an unexpected person. Dean Hu is a person who was well qualified but seemed like he would never step forward.

“I don’t have to introduce who I am.”

The first thing to do is speak informally. Uncomfortable coughing sounds can be heard everywhere, but no one comes forward to point it out. It has to be that way. Was that person just an ordinary person?

Just because they are Circle 9, they are something to be avoided, and they are even so innovative that they will go down in history.

“Evergreen has been noisy recently. I heard there are guys who came from the continent with bags on their shoulders, right? Well, since the so-called emperors and kings came, I guess I had no choice but to take off my heavy ass to protect them.”

Semi-superhumans of the continent.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see their faces in their entire lives, but in the past few days, they have been seen in great numbers in Evergreen. That’s what the dean is saying now.

“Then you just have to be quiet and go. Where are you making such a fuss? Do you want to lose? Miserably?”

Dean Hu’s remarks were unconventional.

However, no one criticized his remarks, which were unconventional and even rude, or even shouted at him.

because,

“Pfft!”

Those who were supposed to protest were groaning everywhere.

They were targeting only the semi-super beginners in various places in the stands far away from the training ground, exerting pressure and exerting pressure, and as a result, the semi-super beginners were not even able to open their mouths, let alone getting angry, and were breaking into a cold sweat.

‘It’s a monster.’

“Okay. okay. I also understand your feelings. To be honest, I’m just criticizing it because I said it from above. How can a subordinate who puts in a lot of effort do anything when the boss tells him to do something rude? is not it? Then, if you say, “What are you doing?” and destroy the three clans, you will be the only ones who become X. Right?”

After talking to himself again, he turned his gaze away from the dean and looked at the nearest semi-superhumans.

The semi-superhumans are still sweating profusely with faces that make them want to nod their heads.

At least the knight and spiritist showed a slight nod of the head, while one of the semi-humans who looked like a wizard was now making a groan and dark, cloudy blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

“Then should I hit that head? Huh?”

A chilling warning.

That this is not a bluff is proven by the energy of Mana floating around Dean Hu.

Coincidentally, the emperors and crown princes of both empires are sitting here.

To Dean Hu, they are enemies to whom he would not mind tearing them to death.

A political opponent lands at the place where the candidate competency evaluation was conducted.

Just in case, I looked in the distance to where the Emperor of the Alfonso Empire was sitting, and there I saw a rather large middle-aged man fidgeting.

“What do you think?”

My question was directed to clowns and witches. But the answer came out of nowhere from someone else.

“I won’t do that.”

It was Lina.

He licked the ice cream he was holding in his hand—the Circle 7 wizard even used cold magic to keep it from melting—with his tongue.

“Why?”

licking. Demon. Strong.”

Although the answer was still focused on the ice cream, I was able to guess what Lina meant.

This meant that since the demons were strong, they would not kill a semi-superhuman who had the power to deal with them right here.

But that’s because Lina doesn’t know about the bad relationship between Dean Hu and the Empire.

‘Honestly, if it were me, I would just kill them all.’

To put it bluntly, wouldn’t it be okay to just kill the emperor and crown prince and leave the semi-superhumans alone? What if the demons are strong?

War?

How could something like that be possible?

In the current situation, if they stand up and say they want to go to war, pure white sexual men, fanatics of the Caligo Church, and heresy judges will come to their territory. And you will see him reciting the self-sacrifice mantra.

Moreover, there are two monsters in the temple of Caligo. A being who has reached the level of a superhuman, the same level as the later dean.

Even if you are not a heresy judge, war itself does not occur.

‘Rather, you don’t understand, right? If I were in Dean Hu’s position, I would have killed all the royal family members and installed one person as a puppet. what the.’

“Cough!”

“Wow!”

.

.

Coughs mixed with phlegm come out from all over the place. Only then did the students who had been looking at me with their heads up high on the stadium seem to have realized that the atmosphere was unusual, then quickly left the stadium and got as far away as possible.

“Witch. Can you please tell that old man?”

“Yes. It is possible.”

“Tell him to commit. There is no need to hesitate.”

The witch nodded without asking back and pursed her lips. Have you ever heard that witch’s voice? The dean’s eyes linger here for a moment and then move away.

“What do you think? Knight leader?”

This is where the dean’s eyes turned. Emperor Alfonso of the Empire was sitting there.

To be called a ‘chief knight’ by the emperor of an empire!

The Emperor of the Knight Empire, Alfonso, is known to be of the highest level as a Master due to his inaction as Emperor Ilshin.

In fact, the witch and clown who personally confirmed it was a middle-aged man who evaluated him as being at the level of a master upper level pull-up.

Emperor Alfonso, who was hesitantly trying to stand up, licked his lips as his face turned as red as the color of his multi-colored costume.

“I, I… … .”

“Dean.”

A woman’s voice suddenly enters this tense space.

It was Olivia, the princess who was sitting next to Emperor Alfonso, and at the same time a candidate. As I passed this competency evaluation, my status increased further.

“Okay.”

“It is a serious crisis situation where demons have appeared on the continent. In such a situation, I don’t think it would be helpful at all to blush with the emperor of a powerful country over something trivial.”

Although the words were glossed over, to summarize what Princess Olivia said,

-so? Don’t you need our help?

It was the same thing.

It may seem absurd, but it was a remark that made some sense. It was a reasonable statement. This is also consistent with what Lina said.

However, it is a story that makes sense from Olivia’s point of view, at a low level. According to my experience of directly fighting against demons, imperial soldiers and expert-level knights are not equipped to deal with demons.

The witch and the clown said.

From the perspective of a superhuman, there is no difference whether there are ten or twenty quasi-superhumans.

It is no different from a frog sitting in a well saying that the sky is narrow.

Olivia’s statement now.

just as expected,

“How many people are there right now who can say that they have the power you are talking about?”

Afterwards, the dean cruelly harassed Olivia with facts. Olivia, who couldn’t possibly have known the meaning of what Dean Hu said, bit her lip and couldn’t answer.

Even at a rough count, there were more than 20 semi-beginners who couldn’t even make a sound and were being held down by the later dean.

The dean smiled with one corner of his mouth raised at Olivia, whose mouth was closed like a clam, and then rubbed his fingers together as if he was satisfied.

“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.
