by adminEpisode 66 – Exchange Battle 8 –
Professor Cosmos may not be as strong as Professor Maximilian, but he is a formidable enemy in his own right.
It is a very powerful enemy with unique magic.
He’s even a professor. You can legally view records about me.
It means that he also knows that I won the sparring with Professor Maximilian.
‘There is no chance of winning unless you use Auror Awakening… If you use Awakening, you can win, but… Can you win?’
can win.
But it’s hard to win.
Because that professor is not the end.
There is a large involvement of the Evil God Church here.
If someone else intervenes for me, who lost one arm, it would be the end.
‘There’s no way the same strategy will work this time… ‘What should I do?’
At the last festival, threatening the princess with her life worked.
That’s because they weren’t prepared, but there are surprisingly many ways to subdue them in the same situation.
If you just spray something like a colorless and odorless sleeping pill, you will fall asleep without any problem.
I just wasn’t prepared for it.
‘Is there no way?’
Professor Cosmos is one of the people who gave me the moving magic circle.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the magic circle, but it might be possible to neutralize it.
If that’s the case, it means nothing to me.
‘Should I try gambling…? ?’
There is a high probability that my magic circle will be fine for now.
The people who created this magic circle were senior professors or professors equivalent to them.
The reason they were not suspected was because they were already in high positions and there was no reason for them to be suspected.
But even though I checked for abnormalities, there was a problem with my magic circle?
Of course, it would mean that there is a traitor.
Whether it’s real or not, there will be an investigation.
I don’t know anything else, but if a saint intervenes, it’s over.
So let’s assume this is normal.
Then the answer came out.
We can move together.
“… I’ll give it to you this time, but… I will definitely find it.”
“You are leaving obediently.”
“You may be idiots, but you are not imbeciles who will fall for the same operation twice.”
“Huh. Thank you for your high evaluation. Still, I was robbed by you two or three times.”
The reason I made this choice is simple.
Because you have to mislead him.
If I go back, I will definitely call the professors.
Then the professors will come here soon.
Even if Cosmos is an academy professor, he is an individual.
It is impossible to defeat Maximilian, who is second only to the president, and other professors, through pure force.
So we changed the strategy.
For him to approach me in reverse.
He’s not sure what my combat power is, but at least he thinks I have lower fighting power than him because I would have attacked him if there was a chance of winning.
Then, naturally, it would be better to stun the witnesses to deter them.
They will try to manipulate magic to prevent their location from being determined by me.
That’s the right time.
“Unfortunately… Abraxas Cadet? Are you going to tell someone else?”
It was good.
Got it.
I was leaving far away without looking back on purpose.
He caught me as if he felt something suspicious about this.
Now if you attack me like that.
All you have to do is use the angel to create a gap and perform a spatial transfer while in contact with the princess.
So this time, my victory is-
“Because I thought of a better way.”
He must have suddenly remembered something.
I made a simple sound by crossing my thumb and index finger.
Then, the space transfer magic circle from the Academy attached to my wrist began to rebel.
I hesitate for a moment at the momentary change.
What happened?
“That magic circle in your body… That’s not moving to the academy… It’s about moving it to a specific location.”
If it’s natural, it’s natural.
You might be able to create a magic circle to move to the academy.
There is no need to make it.
It would be better to create a magic circle that allows you to go anywhere just by entering the coordinates.
‘But why mention it?’
no way…
“You’re going to use me to escape?”
“You know very well.”
under. It gave me goosebumps to say such an obvious thing so confidently.
Although I am a first-year cadet at the Imperial Academy.
He is the kind of person who has reached the level of Auror Master.
‘It was rather good. If he’s after me… Conversely, my side’s chances of winning increase.’
Contrary to his expectations, I am currently at the top level in the entire empire.
Of course, that means he is in the top 100 of the empire’s population of over hundreds of millions.
Although he was a long way from being truly the strongest.
At least it means that you don’t have to waste time dealing with professors.
-First, please show yourself to the president and tell him to come here.
[to? Is it okay if I get caught?]
-That gentleman is a person whose expression would not change at all even if I were chosen by the Heavenly God and became a saint. So it’s okay.
The reason I couldn’t defeat him all this time was because I was afraid there were other enemies around.
It is unclear whether it will be possible to defeat it, but if others intervene, even if they defeat it, the princess will be taken away.
But if he targets me, in the end all I have to do is hold on.
It goes without saying that defense is more advantageous than offense.
Stopping an opponent and withstanding an opponent’s attack have completely different levels of difficulty.
‘Take it slow and take as long as possible. The angel will inform the president of the truth shortly, so the president will arrive within 3 minutes. 3 minutes. You just have to last 3 minutes.’
3 minutes against the professor.
It may be difficult, but it is bearable.
Because I have endured against another bishop before.
Also, if I die, this magic circle loses its meaning, so I can block it.
It’s enough to deal with Cosmos, who is weaker than Professor Maximilian.
Puck~
Something beyond my awareness strikes me.
I couldn’t figure out what the situation was.
Why?
Why did this happen?
The situation is still not fully understood.
‘Was it a third party attack? ?’
A lot of thoughts pass through my head.
We reconsider countless possibilities and grasp reality.
‘surprise attack? no. There is no reason to make a surprise attack if it is a surprise attack that escapes my awareness. Ability beyond awareness? ‘Where on earth is such a person?’
But for a moment, a person crossed my mind.
One person, I don’t know about the others, but the person who confronted me.
“… No way?”
I looked at Professor Cosmos with puzzled eyes.
“Hide the power… Because it’s not just you.”
He revealed his secret.
no way. I never thought he would have hidden his true power.
With this much power, he could have taken Professor Maximilian’s position.
Because I’ve been here much longer than Professor Maximilian.
But the fact that I didn’t do that…
It means that we have been waiting for this moment for a really long time.
For the benefit of hiding power.
‘bet… It’s a failure.’
worst case.
My body is having a hard time moving.
There is still quite a bit left until the angel comes.
Of course, if I apply the magic circle imbued on my body, I will immediately reach the headquarters of the Evil God Church.
Should I give up?
‘give up?’
her.
Since when did I care about such things?
I am a dead person.
This life should not have been given to me in the first place.
There was an original owner of this life.
God gave me a second life.
A normal human life ends once.
My first life, and what should have been my last, ended 18 years ago.
“It won’t work out the way you want… It will… ”
“Don’t worry so much… I can’t get out of here anyway.
My role is… All we have to do is move you to headquarters. I am now destined to be arrested by the Academy faculty.”
He seemed to want to reassure me.
He asked about his situation.
I don’t really blame him either.
Because I don’t have any special thoughts about the Evil God Church.
“Keueuuu.
Eventually, my body must have reached its limit, and my eyes slowly began to close.
My consciousness went dark as I watched Professor Cosmos’ hand approach me.
=======
When I opened my eyes, my body was tied up.
The surroundings were dark, and a woman, presumed to be a princess, was lying next to her.
Distinguishing them was easier than I thought.
After checking through my senses, I found that my body was similar to that of a princess.
Cook – Cook –
As a result of poking it with my foot, it was someone who felt warmth, not something else to deceive.
There is no particular reason to tie up anyone other than the princess, so she will be beaten.
‘Is this the headquarters of the Evil God Church or something similar to it…? ?’
I looked around through my senses, but I couldn’t sense anything.
It’s clear that you’re trapped.
ruler. Let’s do the calculation here.
The failure was my mistake, so I don’t blame it.
Now this place is the headquarters of the Evil God Church, or a place equivalent to it.
Since they probably know the princess’s abilities, there are probably many strong people out there.
‘What should I do?’
There was no other way.
There may be a way, but there was nothing I could do with the information I was given.
What should I do?
A time when I continued to concentrate on my thoughts.
[Uh… Is there a way?]
Petroel’s voice stuck in my head.
what. I was able to follow you.
Then say something sooner.
I immediately conveyed my will to my guardian angel.
-Petroel. So roughly how many people are around here?
First of all, what I need to do is figure out the power.
If it’s full of assholes, just take out the Heavenly Sword, break free, and take on the Musou.
[Well, that… First of all, there are many people who seem strong… There are also a lot of people. The majority are weaklings, but the numbers… I think it’s in the thousands?]
If you look at the numbers, it seems like it really is the main base.
I was just hoping for that one possibility.
‘no. Just how powerful was the Holy Emperor that caused this uproar just because of its current status?
It’s probably the difference between the United States right after the fall of the Soviet Union and the United States after 2008. Is it really something that people can make fun of that much?’
Of course, one-to-one correspondence is impossible.
The United States was the most powerful country at the time, and the Shenghwangqing was overwhelmingly the strongest among ideological groups, but when compared to the actual powerful countries, it was always pushed back.
The fact that Seonghwangcheong is within the territory of the empire will have a significant impact.
However, even if Seonghwangcheong was weakened, that was only for internal reasons.
There are still lower-ranking priests and saints who brag about their power to the outside world.
People are making an uproar saying that Seonghwangcheong has become weak.
For me, I don’t have much empathy.
‘First of all, is there another way? I don’t know how strong the enemies are… ‘I don’t think there’s any way.’
I was just wasting my time thinking like that.
“This… What happened… ”
Alice Tantalotta got up and asked me.
“Abraxas English… Is that you?”
I felt something strange.
How did you recognize me?
Are you trying to trick me? It’s too weird for that.
That’s why I didn’t say anything for a moment.
Nothing was said.
There was only silence in this room without any sound.
That silence lasted for quite some time.
However, due to the princess’s reaction, I had no choice but to cancel that idea.
Because the sound of a woman sobbing broke the silence.
“Please… please… Somehow… anyone… please… ”
She was screaming.
Why on earth is it doing that?
It is probably related to the incident in which her mother, the Empress, died.
‘I wonder if Ayun was like that when I died.’
I do not know.
But I am certain that she is the princess. You should answer me.
“Me. Here it is.”
A short remark.
But it is a word that implies everything.
Of course, you might not believe me.
If it were the princess’s personality, she would be suspicious first.
The reason the princess muttered about me was probably because I saved her from the danger of being kidnapped.
But the princess exceeded my expectations.
“Does it exist? Is it true?”
As soon as she heard what I said, she tried to somehow move her body towards me.
Like a newborn baby trying to crawl.
After arriving at me, she buried her face in my body and sobbed.
“Do you want to live?”
The calculation was completed while looking at the princess.
It reminded me of a past experience I had forgotten.
It would be nice if the world always went on peacefully, but ironically, human life tends to have a lot of ups and downs.
A disaster that can never be overcome by individual humans.
There are times when things like that happen.
There is no point in blaming the world when such things happen.
It doesn’t matter if you resent the world after falling into the abyss, you have to prepare for it when disaster strikes.
“Yes… C.”
Agreement flowed from the princess’s mouth.
I gathered my composure and spoke straight away.
“Princess, I have something to ask you. If a cat and a dog are shipwrecked, and the cat with a lower metabolic rate eats the dog, it can survive. That’s the only way.”
The prerequisite for executing this strategy is the princess’s will.
Whether the operation is successful or not is separate from the princess. Because the princess is important for what happens after that.
“Even if a dog eats a cat, both will die even if they don’t eat anything. So is it bad for cats to eat dogs?
And if the dog accepts that fact, doesn’t the cat have to feel guilty?”
So I had to ask.
I found a way, but there was a possibility that she wouldn’t accept it.
However, contrary to my expectations, the princess did not say anything for a while.
I barely noticed it.
“Are you willing to sacrifice?”
And the princess really discovered my hidden intention.
I didn’t want you to know.
“Why… ?”
Why?
That was the result of rational thinking.
I am not afraid of death.
That’s why I was able to put my death into action.
As a result of putting it that way, if I think rationally, I just thought that it was better for one of the princesses to get out alive than for both of them to die.
If I had been able to live, I could have lived by abandoning the princess.
But it’s hard.
Then it is right for the princess to live at least.
Because that’s the benefit of this world.
“Why are you doing that? Are you falling in love with me? It’s rude to be loyal, and selfish to be chivalrous.
However, he is not afraid of death at all and has no hesitation in his work… You feel like neither fame nor wealth means anything to you.
It just seems like you pursue it because it makes it easier to do things. how… How is that possible? ”
I couldn’t say anything to that.
Because it was true.
In my past life, I have already experienced my reputation, wealth, health, and relationships being destroyed without notice.
And what I felt at the end was that they were means.
Connections, money, fame? They are means.
It’s nice to have, but if it becomes your goal, it won’t end well.
That’s why even the princess will be saved.
Because I am that kind of person.
“Princess. There’s probably a notebook in the back of the second desk drawer in my dorm. Please make sure to watch it.”
“Don’t use such strange words. Can’t we both go out together? Or at least explain why I am the only one who can go out.”
“Because I might not be the next person to open that notebook.”
“Can’t you hear me?”
“Ah! If your benefactor says he will save your life, listen to everything until the end!”
That’s a notebook with future information written down.
If the third princess, who is currently the weakest on her own, obtains the notebook, she could aim for the position of emperor.
However, the princess remained steadfast.
If I don’t give a proper explanation, they will never get out of the way.
‘okay. what. It doesn’t matter because it’s the last time.’
Someone once said that one of the ways to persuade someone is through sincere communication.
So I decided to tell you my secret.
Why do I show such unusual behavior?
“Princess. Why do you think you are afraid of death?”
This is bullshit that anyone who hears will laugh at.
People know why they are afraid of death without even having to say it.
But because I am me, that statement is not nonsense, but a serious question.
Because I have never shown fear of death.
The princess thought for quite some time and then answered.
“… Because everything else is unknown. Just like someone who is swimming for the first time is afraid of water.”
“That’s right. But what if there is someone who has experienced death? How would you act if someone had already died once and knew what it felt like?”
“That… What are you talking about… ”
I will die anyway unless a miracle happens.
So, I will leave behind at least the princess.
And so that the surviving princess does not feel guilty, we need to reduce the psychological shock.
“I am not afraid of death.”
What if human fear comes from the unknown?
“Because the pain I have already endured once… There is no need to be afraid anymore.”
I have no reason to be afraid of death.
Because I died once.
However, the princess did not seem to believe it.
Of course.
Who can you trust?
So, I guess I should tell them a story that can give them trust.
“Princess… This is one person’s story. A story about a person who died while living in another world and finds a new life.”
And this is a story that no one in this world would know except me.
I started talking about it in front of others for the first time.
