    Episode 114 – Ordinary sword, great sword –

    ‘For what reason?’

    The emperor’s behavior was clearly strange.

    Even though I received the real information quite a while before I arrived due to the sudden news, it felt like it came down particularly suddenly.

    From my perspective, the Guardian can be a definite ally.

    It might be true from Alice’s perspective, but she believes in me.

    From the emperor’s point of view, it is strange not to have any doubts.

    In Korea’s case, this means that Kim Jong-un, who safely suppressed an internal coup, will suddenly defect to South Korea.

    Of course, Kim Jong-un has a lot of karma, so it is difficult to respond one-on-one. That roughly means that’s the intention.

    ‘If the emperor is capable, he should never be overlooked, right?’

    And yet, they awarded me this medal.

    This means that the emperor at least thought that this would be beneficial.

    It would actually be beneficial, but how would the emperor know about it?

    ‘What on earth do you know? and… Why are you giving up your position in the Royal Guard?’

    I can tell that the emperor is showing some kind of interest in me.

    However, they are not approaching first.

    It felt strangely waiting for me to do something.

    ‘It seems friendly to me, but…’ ‘Why?’

    There are quite a few reasons why you treat me so well.

    no. The problem is that there are too many of them.

    The youngest Auror Master.

    I learned the ghost sword technique.

    They know all kinds of techniques.

    Etc.

    However, except for the fact that he is the youngest Auror Master, none of them are worthy of the emperor’s obsession.

    And if the Emperor knew that he was the youngest Auror Master, it would be right to have him reveal that fact and then boast about it.

    With power at the level of an emperor, even if I don’t force it, I can guide it in a direction that reveals my power.

    But I didn’t really see anything like that.

    ‘I don’t know. They say we have to meet face to face this time. It will be roughly known.’

    It is not advisable to wrestle with the unknown.

    I’m not worried about a typhoon coming.

    Just like it would be better to think about how to deal with a typhoon when it comes.

    Because no matter what you do, a typhoon will come.

    ‘How… I think I’m halfway through dropping out… ?’

    Than the time spent at the academy.

    I spent a lot of time away from the academy.

    Even though I had those questions, I was still a student at the academy.

    =========

    “So… What on earth have you done this time? ?”

    “In the words of luxury people… I think Abraxas did something?”

    “What? First of all, I heard that they stopped the legion by offering it as a sacrifice to a saint.”

    “I guess he did something with the guardian of the World Tree after that. That’s why the Guardian came to the Empire.”

    Before going to the imperial palace, the academy decided to award me something extra.

    The Academy is involved in awarding medals from the imperial family.

    It is said that there is a political reason why the Academy does not give an award, as it may be a backlash against the imperial family.

    “But is this all about singing? What did Abraxas Yeongsik receive?”

    “You probably benefited diplomatically.”

    “With elves? Aside from the guardians, elves aren’t that threatening, right? Although I don’t know each person’s skills.

    There was a rumor that the population was so small that the entire population was a baron, not a baron.”

    The Golden Lion Medal is one that has rarely been awarded within the empire.

    First, I called all the students together.

    Because detailed circumstances were not communicated.

    Most people didn’t seem to know much about this.

    There were so many high-ranking nobles that it would have been difficult to call them on a sudden schedule.

    How did everyone end up like this?

    They’re not the type of people who move without reason.

    “Then let’s get started.”

    With those words, a man comes up to the gymnasium’s podium.

    He was a familiar person.

    It was Maximilian.

    This time, he is acting as a representative of the professors, but seeing as he is doing this without a separate position.

    He seems to be a person who is recognized by everyone.

    When I thought about it, considering that no one was saying anything about Maximilian, it seemed like the name Younggeol had value.

    I heard that he played an active part in subduing the demonic realm of the Seonghwangcheong government.

    “The only public academy in the great Helium Empire. One of the cadets of this imperial academy. The great Arthur Tantalotta was awarded the highest honor, the Golden Lion, by the current Emperor.”

    Maximilian continues.

    Most cadets look at him in boredom at first.

    This is because everyone knew who would receive it anyway.

    “Sleep… What do you get?”

    “I guess I heard wrong, right?”

    But some people have doubts.

    This is because it was not revealed to the cadets what they would receive.

    The only ones who are directly known to be receiving the Golden Lion are the faculty.

    This happened because the employees only knew that Abraxas was the target, without knowing that fact.

    Just as servants know about their master’s circumstances.

    This is because this incident was reported by employees.

    The faces of the ordinary cadets looked shocked for a moment.

    Immediately, I was filled with astonishment.

    Beginning, development, crisis, climax, ending.

    It was an expression that followed the flute of a truly perfect scenario.

    “… The second princess must have made a move.”

    “Are you taking care of your boyfriend? ?”

    “If you look at it, it’s probably just because they’ve been politically grilled. Because elves haven’t had to fight for tens of thousands of years… As for being politically swayed… ”

    What I learned through this incident is that elves are humans.

    in other words. Humans also have the sense of being the chosen people that elves had.

    Since the result has occurred, the result is aligned with the cause.

    How can humans who have never actually encountered an elf expect an elf?

    This is a story that would truly make a guardian laugh.

    “No, think about it. Although there are several incidents happening right now. How do you meet a guardian and how do you do something like that?

    When we went there, we just went inside. The princess and the saint were special cases, so even if there was an exception, even the top 4th graders and 1st graders couldn’t participate. How does Yeongsik participate in the war?”

    “Definitely… The person who really came up with the plan was someone else, and the princess’s opinion is that she passed it on to Abraxas Yeongsik… ”

    At this point, I really get curious.

    Even if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to know his inner thoughts unless he was a person who appeared in detail in WFS.

    I just extract a conclusion by combining past life experiences, current life experiences, and many other things.

    Are they really doing this out of antipathy towards me?

    Or is it for another reason?

    Of course, there is no way for me to know that.

    I have no intention of caring.

    Why bother worrying about such things in the first place?

    I am a person who participates in exchange competitions wearing a ballet uniform because I am not interested in fame.

    Of course, I was cheered there because of Toto Chung.

    “Of course it’s manipulation. Or it’s just nonsense. If you were a princess, wouldn’t it be possible to force the elves to behave like that?”

    Rumors spread and gain weight.

    This is because human memory is not accurate, so variations occur.

    Also, because perfect neutrality cannot exist, the speakers’ perspectives tend to be mixed.

    So, when the rumor spread and reached the source again, it had deteriorated significantly.

    That’s it now.

    “So… In the end, are you saying that Princess Alice deliberately manipulated it for her favorite Yeongsik?”

    “The circumstantial evidence is not clear. Even though the royal family sounded the alarm, Abraxas did not even follow the ceremony.

    Even with the exception of the teaching staff, elves, and the saintess, no one has ever seen the spirit ceremony. That means you didn’t follow it from the beginning.”

    “And even if Yeongsik came up with something to solve the saint’s problem. There is no way you can do that in English alone.

    It’s safer for someone else to do it. On the other hand, the princess may have passed something that someone else came up with to Yeongsik because of merit.”

    “And what was the deal with the guardian of the World Tree?”

    “How can Yeongsik fit into that position? This is possible because the princess is the representative of the empire and the saint represents the Holy Imperial Office.

    I heard there was someone among the faculty who couldn’t get in? So, the princess forced it in… It must be a lie.”

    Because everyone was talking about things that were very distorted from the truth.

    There are many different opinions.

    Through auric enhancement, the stories are transmitted to my eardrums.

    At least I felt like I knew what the intention was.

    ‘It seems like someone has spread a malicious rumor.’

    Alice actually helped me a lot with this story.

    That is a level of influence similar to that of a king ordering a general to go on a campaign.

    Admiral Yi Sun-sin was also not appointed by King Seonjo to the position of commander of the three provinces.

    Just as if the expedition had not been permitted, no merit had been achieved.

    It is normal for the monarch’s abilities and the general’s abilities to be treated separately.

    No matter how difficult the situation is to operate without Alice’s help.

    It is clear that he is specifically targeting Alice.

    It’s not because manipulation is impossible if Alice is excluded.

    According to the story, Alice, who would have made a definite contribution, is casually told a story that could antagonize her.

    One way or another, in the end, the person in charge in Abenheim is Alice. The fact that the late Emperor takes credit for this situation means that Alice ultimately contributed.

    This development is unnatural.

    ‘what? Was that person the criminal?’

    As you can see, one side is starting to openly slander.

    Surprisingly, this is a cadet who knows.

    Ariana Crowfield.

    The eldest daughter of the Duke of Crowfield.

    She, the first princess faction, is probably the main character in this commotion.

    “Of course the princess did something of some sort, right? There are people who are curious about the obvious.”

    “You don’t even know that much. It would be nice if other nobles could follow Princess Ariana’s vision even a little… ”

    “That’s correct. How many humans on this earth can fight against the Guardians right now? They say that the Guardian of the World Tree has similar skills to the Sword Saint.

    Abraxas Yeongsik was avoiding Sword Saint, right? I truly doubt whether you will have that level of courage.”

    “Rather, these rumors are not very good for Abraxas Youngsik. A false story will eventually come to an end. If you explode it when it is small, the damage will be minimal.”

    “Haha. Those are great words.”

    It was truly disgusting to see them licking each other.

    How could that happen?

    No one said anything.

    No one cared.

    We were finalizing it by paying attention to each other and asking questions.

    Then suddenly their mood changed.

    She turned her head and looked at me.

    And her eyes and mine resembled each other.

    I could see the corners of Ariana’s mouth turning up when she noticed me.

    The corners of my mouth went down like point symmetry.

    ‘aha. ‘Is this what you’re going to do to fuck me?’

    I had a long history of bad relations with her.

    She hated me very much because my behavior had not been normal since I was young.

    [How can you be born under a marquis and act like that?

    His blood is the third most noble in this empire, but his actual actions are no different from those of a civil servant… What do you mean?]

    [What does that matter? no. I wasn’t born because I wanted to be born in the first place. The princess and I are not actually related, so it would be beneficial to not pay attention.]

    [It’s a problem because I can see it. Unlike other dirty things, you can’t ask an attendant to clean them up, so wouldn’t I be asking you to do it myself?]

    [Usually, if there’s something you don’t want to see, it’s right to clean it up yourself. If that’s not possible, covering your eyes is the fastest and most efficient way.

    There are many things in the world that are inherently impossible. It would be good to learn that in advance.]

    The bad relationship started from then on, but I was banned from going out for a while and we didn’t have any chance to meet again.

    It seemed like it started again this time.

    Perhaps the reason why they couldn’t say anything to me during that time was because the president directly put a stop to rumors and such, so it wasn’t noticeable.

    It was probably only today that I realized it.

    That was also why it felt different from other political attacks.

    She is really thinking about it now.

    You can’t actually achieve what I’m saying there.

    ‘He’s been like that since long ago. ‘I don’t know how big a repercussion it would be to be born into a duke’s family and have preconceptions.’

    Perhaps this is because there are very few politically dangerous situations.

    The age difference between her and the second child was so great that in fact, she had already won the succession competition.

    ‘I’ll have to write a novel later.’

    I think that if you spray it on that territory, it will be enough to deal an effective blow to the Ariana Big Jul field.

    The name of the book is “State and Revolution.”

    The original author is Vladimir Lenin.

    I ignore the aftereffects because they are not my territory.

    “Abraxas Cadet must come up to the stage.”

    Either way, the world was spinning.

    The pitiful war of nerves between the two of us was casually broken up by the professor’s words.

    I ran to the professor’s call one step at a time.

    I wasn’t interested in the ball anyway, so I just wanted to finish it quickly.

    “As an academy cadet, this cadet has made great achievements and, unusually, His Majesty the Emperor personally bestowed the Golden Lion Medal. The Imperial Academy was also impressed by this and awarded him a separate medal.”

    Let’s stand in the auditorium without talking much. Soon after, Maximilian entered and Sergei Darmor appeared.

    After that, nothing really happened.

    Both Earth and here are places where people live.

    There was no particular difference when a student received an award.

    After all the presentations were over, I went to my seat and had the most boring time ever.

    This is because Sergei’s speech, which is the concept of the principal of this academy, began.

    Why on earth do principals, on Earth or here, like such boring speeches?

    I really had doubts.

    As I entered that boring speech, I thought about the next thing.

    Something like how to obtain a branch of the World Tree through an ingenious strategy.

    Time goes by so quickly, a sentence that a Korean adult male with only a few days left to enlist would not be able to stop crying if he heard it over and over again.

    It was clear that the person who said time was money did not know much about the world.

    The president’s speech, which controls time, was in progress.

    “And surprisingly. There are people who put in the effort to visit this academy. Let’s all say hello.”

    One sentence stuck right in my eardrums.

    The mood of the cadets who are bored with the new rice cake or who are on the verge of slander changes.

    I was also one of them.

    “It was done so suddenly that the Academy did not prepare properly… You guys should at least welcome them properly.”

    Who could it be?

    There was no one in particular that came to mind.

    Among the people at the Academy who could say something like that, there were quite a few people related to me.

    Because none of them could come here like this.

    These included the Emperor, the Emperor, the First Prince, and the Duke of Winterfield.

    None of them came because of me.

    That’s what I thought.

    Until I realized that it wasn’t just one person who came.

    “This is where Lord Abraxas resides.”

    “That’s right.”

    The door slowly opens, and everyone’s eyes are filled with astonishment at the person entering.

    This is because the fact that it was revealed directly by the Academy made it unlikely that it was false.

    The human who appeared on the other side of the auditorium.

    “Nice to meet you. Everyone. There might be someone who knows. There may be people who don’t know. Let me explain about myself.”

    A key figure in this incident.

    A person who can be argued as the strongest in this land.

    “The head of the imperial guard, he is called Marx Frazer.”

    “I am the advocate of the elves. A person called the guardian of the World Tree.”

    The strongest of the empire, the swordsman.

    He was the strongest of the elves and the guardian of the World Tree.

    uh.

    Just sleep.

    Why are you coming here?
