XCIX.

Nitas thought that Juan would never be able to refuse his offer.

“We help the family recover completely and recover from psychological trauma as much as possible.”

As is always the case with contracts, the word ‘maximum’ is a deep trap.

However, Nitas thought it was better because they were people with mental wounds that did not recover all at once. She might be able to intervene with her mind for therapeutic purposes, and if that happens, Juan and Fletcher will be dragged around by her for the rest of their lives.

“You know I gave up a lot, right? Juan?”

however,

[go away! You trashy bitch! Never contact me again! Block it!]

The answer I heard from Juan was completely different from what I expected. The communication was cut off with the message that he was more than a little annoyed and that he was going to block the person.

“Huhuhu.”

But it’s okay. Because I expected it might be like this. Isn’t Juan also one of the strongest among lowly and lowly people? I thought I could build my pride.

Nitas had no doubts. Juan will say something regretful again. So, I relaxed and waited for a call… ,

“Where on earth did Per go!?”

I couldn’t lose.

There were a total of eight fallen dragons. Five of them went to attack the superhumans and were killed, and there were only three fallen dragons left, including Nithas.

The gold dragons are Nitas, Es, and Perflamen, affectionately called Per for short.

The dragon Nitas was looking for now was the gold dragon, Fer.

This Fer is a dragon that was directly corrupted by Nitas, and it is as if he was forcibly corrupted. reason?

“Per!!”

[What did you entrust to me? Why do you call me so often? plaguy?]

This gold dragon, Fer, only responds when he is forcibly connected to the communication system and yells at him. The tone of his speech is that everything in the world is bothersome.

“I have work to do. Come back.”

[Just kill me.]

“You’d better come back quickly.”

[…] … It won’t end well for you either.]

“I don’t really want it to end well. Come back quickly. Perflamen. Lord’s only daughter.”

This is because this gold dragon is the daughter of the gold dragon who is currently serving as a slave to humans.

Rod’s daughter.

Even though a dragon no longer feels any special kinship feelings toward its children after it leaves the hatchlings, that does not mean that it completely ceases.

Because Nitas’ father was like that too.

Just the right bait to create a gap for the Dragon Lord is enough.

Nitas waited. I hope Juan gets in touch.

One day, two days, three days.

Juan was not contacted. Same goes for Fletcher.

◈ ◈ ◈

If you were asked to choose the most secret place at Evergreen Academy, there would be many different opinions. Like the dean’s office where Dean Hu stays, or the secret room from the Evergreen ghost story.

However, I am sure that people who know the existence of this space will choose this place without a moment’s hesitation. This space was previously used as Dean Hu’s personal laboratory, and has recently been used as my personal training room.

In this place where not a single magic light was turned on, and the darkness was barely driven out by a single small candle, people who would be known on the continent gathered here.

“Hmm… … . The final evidence says… … . Nitas, are you saying you can find out where the dragon of immorality is?”

The Pope of the Order of Caligo and the Sword of Caligo.

“Not exactly Gray, but me, the former Dragon Lord, and the women of Gray.”

Dean Hu and Associate Dean Fletcher.

“Then what are you doing? Let’s take a quick break and get some rest. Don’t you think I’ve been pampering myself too often lately?”

Shingung (神弓) and Geomseon (劍仙) of the Warrior’s Cradle.

“Damn old people. really. No, why turn off the lights and light just one candle to set the mood!! It’s so dark! Anyone who sees us will think we are in the dark. Turn on the lights!! You young people!!”

“Honestly, what Kanviel said is correct.”

“That’s right. What kind of bullshit is this? I’m so embarrassed.”

Kanviel the Lightning, Advakiel the Death King, and Frey the Swordsman.

“You guys, don’t do that. If you’re a superhuman, it’s something that seems to be lacking in every single thing. Is that some kind of passive thing?”

There is me, the Arcanas, and Tukhungi. I feel this every time I meet superhumans, so why is there really no normal?

I admit that I am a little out of the ordinary. But is a superhuman really a superhuman? This is so crowded with people like Dean Hu that I can’t even think of commenting on it.

“For now, let’s leave everything else aside. Why on earth did you turn off the lights?”

“This is how you feel about plotting! Ah! Young people don’t know what atmosphere is! Don’t you know romance? Romantic?”

“Has the meaning of the word romantic that I know changed? Why is there romance here?”

“Romantic test! Romantic wizard! I don’t know?! When planning a scheme like this, turn off the lights and use a quiet voice! uh?! Don’t you know?”

Dean Hu shouted with sincerity as if he could never turn on the light, but it was hard to tell whether he was serious or joking.

“Ehyo. Just ignore it. Ignore.”

“Is that so?”

“So aren’t you going to track the communication coordinates?”

“That’s right… … ?”

“And if the tracking is successful, the superhumans will take turns keeping watch. To understand their strength?”

“Yeah, right?”

“Then what are you doing if you don’t do it right away?”

There’s no way the tone of voice coming out of my mouth is good. Sometimes these superhumans have a tendency to not know when to play around and when not to.

Of course, from the perspective of superhumans, the world is easy, so you can say that you can relax in any situation, but right now, you are a superhuman, and if you act recklessly, you could all die.

“Enough joking here, let’s get started.”

“Che!”

“Inspiration is the biggest problem! This is Yeongtaeng! Just because the family is back doesn’t mean the screws are loose!”

Those words came out without me knowing because of Young Yeongtaeng’s immature behavior. An awkward silence falls as the other superhumans open their eyes in surprise.

However, I couldn’t pick up what I had already said and I thought it was better. I decided to say whatever I wanted to say without worrying about how the atmosphere was ruined anyway.

“Weakness.”

“Huh?”

“The person with the most weaknesses here is Yeonggam.”

It may be a bit of a painful story and it may be his shame, but he decided to play the villain in the hope that other superhumans would also abandon the playful atmosphere.

I haven’t seen the devil in person. However, for some reason, I did not feel that the devil, the corrupted, and the renegade beings were that light.

My instincts were warning me not to let down my guard, as if I was vaguely remembering something I had known a long time ago.

“Son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter.”

“Well, they already have treatment… … .”

“Treatment is over. I think you’ve been so happy these days that you’ve forgotten. Don’t you think you could be attacked again?”

Afterwards, the dean’s face hardened. The other superhumans had no idea what he was talking about, but Vice Dean Fletcher knew what it meant, so he also had an unusual energy.

“Can you stop it? It’s a dragon. Dragon. Just like that. There are also three dragons. If they do something, can you two, alone or together with Vice Dean Fletcher, stop them? With that mischievous mindset? Are you going to make the same mistakes again?”

I am confident that Dean Hu and Vice Dean Fletcher will never be able to stop it. It’s almost like a dragon. The class over which dragons have the greatest relative advantage is the wizard.

Dean Hu is the greatest mage of Circle 9 on the continent?

What is that?

Even so, he was a great man who could not heal his son’s family because he did not know Circle Nine’s healing magic spell.

“… Right. I’m sorry. I apologize.”

“No. I didn’t say this because I wanted to receive an apology from you. You will reject Nitas’ offer. Right?”

“Yes.”

“From some point on, whenever the followers of the Demon King launched various attacks in unusual ways, there was only one driving force that allowed me to prepare, even if it was late. Think about it from their perspective. That too, towards using very cruel, cruel, and dirty tactics.”

Afterwards, the dean removed his mischievous expression and looked at me with a serious face. The same was true for other superhumans.

Even the three women who were former mercenaries who were sitting crookedly straightened their posture and straightened their backs.

“What would I do if I were Nitas? If Old Man Hu rejects his offer, he will wonder why. And we will gather information. They know all kinds of crazy ways, so they’ll figure it out eventually. That Josef, Poppy, and Catherine have recovered perfectly.”

“Hmm… … .”

“What if you found out that information? If you were Nitas, what would you do now?”

I asked expectantly. However, the superhumans tilted their heads and could not easily answer.

why not? Don’t you know this? Such an easy question? You spoon-fed them all, right? It’s a question that just needs to be chewed, right?

“This, this… ? It’s hard? Really?”

“Huh? Well, well?”

difficult. It’s difficult.

To those humans.

“No, no matter what anyone hears, this is a scenario where they secretly infiltrate the academy and kidnap Catherine’s family. It’s so obvious, isn’t it? This obvious scenario where Catherine is quietly and secretly kidnapped while a dragon or two keep an eye on her. Can’t you just remember it?”

“What?! Such a vicious act in the world?!”

what. This idiotic reaction.

“Self~. Don’t be like that. Because they are idiots who only trained.”

“What is that… … . The villain’s most obvious repertoire is to scatter treasure maps to drive the continent’s strong people to their deaths, use elixirs as bait to lure the strong people into a trap and kill them all, and then, after losing strength, they rise up all at once and eat the continent. It’s a cliché!! The most common thing among them is kidnapping each powerful person’s family member with a story? Don’t you know this?”

“How could you have such vicious thoughts!!”

The dean looked at me with surprised eyes and was shocked.

Not only Dean Hu, but also the superhumans from the Unmanned Cradle, Vice Dean Fletcher, and the three female superhumans are looking at me with surprised eyes.

The Pope and Caligo’s sword seemed equally surprised. However, because I was the one who said that, did it seem like I was trying to act calm?

what. These people!

I’m more scared of you!

Why don’t you know this obvious and common cliche?!

“Now that I think about it, what did you say earlier? Training idiot?”

“Yes~. If you look at them, they are people who became superhumans just by staying in their closets and practicing or praying. Unlike where we used to live, wars don’t seem to be frequent on this continent, that’s just it. At the very least, even if he were the king of the clean spirits, no, even if he were the highest level spirit, he would have lived to see what he could see and what he could not see and would have understood what he was saying, but they~.”

Then the clown shook his head as if he had no answer. Even the superhumans who were in tears were busy looking at me to see if they were remembering the sins they had committed.

“So… … . Are they flowers in a greenhouse?”

“Hmm~. Well, to put it nicely, that’s about it, but to put it bluntly and truthfully, it’s a ‘no answer’. Give up, baby. It’s easier if you give up.”

Maybe I should have noticed then.

When Dean Hu said that even after pioneering Circle 9, he did not gift his son and his family with a single decent defense artifact, he should have known then!

They are, in a slightly different sense, flowers in a greenhouse.
