by fnovelpia“Isn’t the cadet’s name Medis?”
“… … What?”
It was out of the blue.
I’m Medis’s ally.
“I knew that behind Medidis, there was someone behind me that I couldn’t even fathom. I think it might be you.”
“… … … .”
“I have no words. That seems right.”
No, I didn’t say anything because I was embarrassed.
How did this misunderstanding arise?
It was a bit absurd, but if you think about it, it was a plausible misunderstanding.
If he’s someone I can raise, there’s a high chance he’ll be as strong as Medis, and he also has an unknown background.
Medis said that he must inherit the fate of the first warrior.
Not willingly, but intentionally.
The force pushing it probably looked like he was behind this, and the training director connected me and Medis with that.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. I definitely didn’t say this to find a weakness. I want to help you if possible-”
“Do not help. Never.”
“… … ?”
The training center director is not good at hiding his intentions. He’s probably sincere when he says he wants to help Medis.
But why should we leave it at that?
I hate to see Medis doing well.
He must suffer more.
This means that I haven’t been able to properly decide whether to kill or save.
“Medis is like my enemy. It would be very unpleasant to help a guy like that.”
“… … Well, then who is Bokdong?”
“Do you really expect me to tell you?”
“… greatness. I’ll stop asking this question.”
To be honest, it wouldn’t matter.
The head of the training center is a guy whose thoughts are revealed externally. If you tell me about my relationship with Ronika, I might help you knowingly or unknowingly.
But if there is no help, what good is there in telling you?
The fewer people who know its identity, the better.
It’s possible that the relationship may go sour.
Therefore, I chose to maintain the status quo.
“Let’s talk about something else. Better ask as many questions as possible before I run out of patience.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Afterwards, he returned the topic to the main topic.
What is a group of Necropolis followers?
How many of them were killed in the forest.
How did they save the cadets and instructors?
What was the Arch Lich doing?
How was the high-ranking demon summoned?
Questions about the incident.
Since I had nothing to hide, I explained everything I knew.
It’s a group of warlocks who were gaslighted.
They killed about ten people.
It was said to prevent sacrificial rituals.
The Arch Lich was an exile from Necropolis.
The devil was summoned by Lich’s self-destruction device.
“Huh… Are you saying that the warlocks were tricked by the Arch Lich and attacked the training center to collect sacrifices? Why our training camp?”
“I had bad luck. With Croshell joining, the training center must have seemed like the most suitable prey.”
“So, there was even a formation system set up at the training point.”
“I understood well.”
“Instructor Croshell… ha… … .”
“Don’t worry. The Death Knight decided to deal with that guy.”
“Ah. But by now the royal investigators… … .”
“Didn’t I tell you that yesterday? If the royal investigation team takes it out, they will raid it then. So think ahead. How do we hold them accountable?”
“Huh?… .”
“I came to tell you this. I told you the full story of the incident, and I believe that if you know Croshell’s evil deeds, you will have no reason to stop me.”
“… that… … .”
“To tell you a little more, they will be ambushed by an undead.”
“If you say undead, do you mean the Death Knight?”
“I was belittling you earlier for not even being able to stop the undead. Please take that comment back. This is the time to solidify your position.”
“They are all strong. It won’t be easy-”
“It must be a small piece. Death Knight is enough.”
“A small piece… … .”
“I’m done talking about it, so I’ll go. I plan to kidnap the royal investigation team as soon as they move, so you can take care of the matter.”
“… … … .”
I opened the window and put my feet up.
No matter how smart he is, he’s not an idiot who can’t accept anything given to him.
A little help would be enough. That’s why I gave some more advice to the guy who looked back for a moment before jumping and looked at me in confusion.
“It’s not for me to say this, but you have absolutely no talent for arguing. You can tell Chalosi about me, so tell her everything and ask for help. Because he seemed quite useful.”
“That… That’s right.”
“Okay then.”
Blame~
I left the training center director’s room.
*
“What should I do… .”
I looked down from the rooftop again.
The royal investigation team has not yet left the building.
It would be right to go see Rauf during this gap, but… I could feel my student’s worry through my love skill.
Since I came out showing a weak side, my student is still wondering if I am okay. That meaning has been conveyed for some time now.
“… I guess I should stop by for a while.”
I should tell you not to worry.
But suddenly I heard my disciple’s answer.
‘huh.’
That’s it.
It seemed like an answer to what I had thought to myself a moment ago, telling me not to worry.
Oh no.
Is it because the previous skill was strengthened?
I think we can communicate a little bit even from a distance. It’s just a simple conveyance of meaning… It was a perfect skill for me.
‘Don’t go back until evening.’
Thinking of his student, he roughly conveyed his meaning. I wonder if it was conveyed well.
‘Have a good rest.’
I can feel the positive answer.
Although it wasn’t exact communication, we were able to intuitively communicate what each other wanted.
That’s pretty good.
I took a step back.
Tadat!~
I went straight down and climbed over the training camp fence.
Since we have notified the training center director, all that remains is to kidnap Croshell.
Of course, not me, but Death Knight.
“Rauf. Are you here?”
Sreuk-
“What business is it?”
The Death Knight has appeared.
Looking at what came out right away, it seemed like they were monitoring Ronika and my movements from here.
“Were you guarding it without even sleeping?”
“I don’t sleep.”
“Well, that’s right. Isn’t it boring?”
“I don’t mind if I can protect my daughter.”
I thought about those words for a moment.
Stubborn personality.
The style of being quiet and doing your own thing.
Rauf is this kind of guy.
However, he is the type of person who loses his temper when it comes to important matters, and when it comes to matters related to his daughter’s safety, he easily loses his temper and goes on a rampage as if he is killing her.
In my past life, I even destroyed the city like a fool.
I’m a little worried about this.
There is nothing worse than losing your temper and going on a rampage and being discovered by others.
This incident doesn’t really matter, but he will continue to protect his daughter from now on. There may be a need to prepare a little for the future.
“… I guess you will continue to plan to be around Ronika from now on.”
“Of course.”
“You’d better be careful. If you are a person with great spirit like the head of the training center, you might get caught without notice.”
“I will be careful.”
“No no. It’s not enough. That’s not enough. hmm… What should I do?”
“… … … .”
Suddenly, a person came to mind.
Erica.
He was the owner of Rosetta, who had previously entered into a slave contract, and is now the head of the Bankruptcy.
and… What was its name?
A warlock who works under Erica.
He was skilled in making artifacts and weapons.
Coincidentally, the Death Knight lost his armor during the fight with the Arch Lich.
In that case, how about making them fully armed?
Full plate armor.
Cover your hands, feet, and even your face.
No, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add a magical effect and use illusion camouflage magic to make it look like a human face even when the helmet is removed.
Even if he appears in front of my daughter, there will be no secondary danger.
“Okay. That would be nice.”
“… Why are you nodding your head alone?”
“I’ll give you new equipment.”
“You mean my armor? But how… .”
“It will take some time. Until then, don’t show yourself and be patient.”
“… I don’t know what it is, but I get it. Is that all there is to it?”
“… … … .”
“Why do you take a break?”
It’s business.
As I was about to bring up the Croshell incident, another matter suddenly came to mind.
I said I saw Ronika’s past life… .
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you this. I don’t know what would happen if I found out who the lord of Necropolis was.
Perhaps Seongju is watching Rauf from time to time. It was as if I was watching Ronika every once in a while to see if she was okay by sharing my line of sight.
Rauf is important to her.
If you tell this secret and she overhears, you will be in trouble.
Seongju is ruthless. The day he finds out his weakness, he might try to kill him.
So let’s skip this.
“Rauf. Now I plan to kidnap Croshell.”
“The person who threatened my daughter?… Is it okay to kidnap me now?”
The Death Knight happily took out something.
A jade-colored liquor bottle.
It looks like they’ve been waiting forever.
The day I kill Croshell.
If this guy were human, a blush might have appeared on his face.
I guess someone isn’t a Death Knight… .
“I just came from talking to the training center director. Kidnapping Croshell against the royal investigation team will actually be helpful to Ronica. That’s how quickly the training center will be established.”
“It’s a royal investigation team… Are they better off killing them?”
“There is no need to kill him. No, if you kill them, it’s better to end it with one or two people. I need to make it clear that I was attacked by the undead.”
“You’re planning to take advantage of me.”
“They won’t be able to say anything if it is taken away by the undead rather than an unknown person. If possible, I really want him to act like a villain.”
“Then I’m going to handle it alone.”
“Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to help. I’m not feeling well yet so I don’t know if it will bother me.”
“Hmm… How are their skills?”
“Skill?”
For a moment, I thought of the investigation team.
Looking down from the rooftop, there were a total of about 20 members of the investigation team that had arrived, and the only ones who came to meet the training center director were three who seemed to have high positions.
One of them is a smart manager.
The knights and wizards who were guarding her… .
“The strongest guy was in the early 6th level. One lyricist and one wizard each. The rest are small pieces and are estimated to be between 2 and 5 stars.”
“… Is there approximately 20 people?”
“Were you watching too?”
“It was far away so I couldn’t gauge his skills. But as you say, it will be difficult to ‘suppress’ them all at once.”
“Okay. It’s not a small amount of power.”
“I’ll give it a try though. They won’t all flock together, so if there are less than 5 people, you can take them down at once. All you have to do is wait for that time.”
“Oh? I was worried that it would hit me right away. I never thought I would speak for myself.”
“… What are you looking at me for?”
“He goes crazy when it comes to his daughter.”
“… … I don’t want to hear this from a 2 year old.”
“What, what?… .”
Although I digressed for a moment, it is as Rauf said.
Personnel to inspect the training center.
Personnel to inspect training locations.
Personnel to move and interrogate Croshell.
The royal investigation team’s personnel will all be split. So, all you have to do is wait and then raid.
Therefore, we waited for our time.
*
Andras, leader of the royal investigation team.
She was an official who was well-versed in the line and was achieving success without a hitch. She served as a secretary and then became the head of the royal investigation team with the help of a marquess.
In other words, it is a time when you are full of confidence.
The nobles look after you.
Being escorted by outstanding people.
Just by saying a few nice words, many people praised me.
So I thought this job was easy.
Training center leader Magnus.
When I first saw him during the labyrinth incident, I realized that he was the exact opposite of me.
Although he has good skills, he has no gift of speech and the nobles do not treat him well. If he wants to, he can fabricate incidents at will.
But what?
This is a very annoying attitude.
The cooperative attitude from before was that if you want to go somewhere and give it a try, give it a try.
Is this retaliation for quietly passing over the Labyrinth incident?
What kind of confidence is this?
It seems like he collected evidence on his own, but do he really not know that that much can be covered up with just a few words?
Originally, the plan was to conclude Croshell as the instigator and conclude the case as quietly as possible. Because that’s what the nobles want.
But the head of the training center just crossed a line.
Did you say that they were trying to cover up the incident?
What this means is that you should not just quietly pass it over but dig into it properly.
Perhaps even corruption at the training center.
That’s not to say.
Of course I have no intention of following along.
Originally, he had planned to move on quietly, but now that the head of the training center is out there, he has no choice but to take special measures for his own future.
Manipulation of events.
In other words, the responsibility is passed on to the training center director.
“Hehe. First, if we move Instructor Croshell to our prison and persuade him well, it will be over easily. I wonder if it could be used as evidence for the next incident, in the form of false accusation.”
So, Andras took Croshell from prison and got him out of the training camp.
After that some naming instructions.
Let ten people investigate the forest.
Five people to investigate the training camp.
And the five of us, including ourselves, took Croschel away and went to interrogate him. After about a week or two of fiddling around, you give notice and it’s over.
Rattling~
Everything is smooth.
Andras placed the bound Crochel in his carriage and set off, escorted by a knight.
There is no need to step foot on site.
Now, that kind of thing is just a nuisance.
The subordinates will take care of it.
All you have to do is compile the evidence or research data into the story you want and submit a report. Then the nobles will take care of the rest.
Obviously, the training center director cannot avoid responsibility.
‘I’ll make you regret daring to confront me!!’
“Khehe… Hahaha… … .”
At that time, Croshell, in the same carriage, laughed.
Andras asked, frowning at that crazy-looking laugh.
“What’s so funny? If you are worried about the future, let me give you one piece of advice. If you just follow what I say, your chance will come.”
“Ha?… The chances are shit.”
Andras felt strange.
According to the report on Crochel, he was an opportunist and a person who colluded with nobles like himself to commit corruption.
So I couldn’t understand this reaction.
Instead of cooperating, they look as if everything is over.
So, he warned.
“Do you not know the topic? You can die or come back to life according to my heart.”
“… You crazy bitch. Doesn’t he look like he’s going to die right now?”
“What?”
“Do you not feel this life? Well, what would a civil servant know? I am so humbled that I have achieved enlightenment at a time like this.”
“What on earth are you talking about…? .”
Rattling!!!
“Wha!?”
The carriage stopped suddenly.
at the same time.
Pak!!
Puffuck.
Wow!~
“Kaaah!!!!”
“Keuuuugh!!!?
“Uh, when? Ugh!!?”
An escort’s screams were heard outside the carriage.
Crochel smiled and continued speaking.
“You still don’t know. It’s over for you all. Hahahahaha!!!!”
A sinister laugh.
Andras ignored the great sense of discomfort and slowly opened the carriage door.
Flash.
“Aaaah!!!!”
Red eye glow.
I was looking down at her.
