“… Hmm.”

“Is it true that Harang-nim personally gave the order?”

Anna’s expression, which at first glance seemed angry, made her sigh.

When Anna says, “the target I gave the order to”, she most likely means the Cheonma Shingyo.

Of course, I didn’t give an order to raid the palace or anything… .

It is also true that I have a history of asking them for things, and that I have to take responsibility for them.

“That’s right.”

I nodded my head.

“Why on earth… .”

He scratched his head at Anna’s disappointed look while gritting his teeth and disassembling it.

There is nothing that cannot be understood in her mind.

You must be upset because the kids I introduced suddenly raided the palace.

… It’s a little unfair to me though.

I don’t know how the request to catch spies and hand them over to the headmaster changed into a request to take them with me to raid the palace.

Well… there must have been some misunderstanding somewhere.

And the dissonance that comes from a lack of communication is usually the fault of the person making the request.

In the end, it’s my fault.

“… Then I’ll go first.”

I sighed deeply and waved at Anna, who had come out to greet me.

“The weather is chilly, so you should hurry up and go inside.”

“Stop right now… Ugh!”

-thud!

He kicked the ground roughly and jumped toward the sky.

Anna briefly raised her sword to block him as the wind pressure from my jump hit her.

“Fuck… !”

After that, he looked at me with a vain look as I continued to move away.

“Um.”

Watch him for a while.

He turned his gaze back toward the cabin, toward the east, and let out a deep sigh.

“We’ll meet again someday.”

I don’t plan on staying cooped up in the cabin anymore either.

We can clear up the misunderstanding then.

now….

Color- Color-

“… He’s just sleeping soundly.”

The stability of the anonymous person is the top priority.

I was able to roughly confirm that the nameless body was not strained due to optimism.

That doesn’t give me peace of mind.

After arriving at the cabin,

When all surrounding gazes disappear, you should examine more closely.

I wondered if I was being too overprotective….

What can I do?

For me, anonymity is the top priority.

And it is strange that even though I only used optimism, I still haven’t woken up.

“Just wait a little longer.”

He kept kicking the air with his distorted eyebrows.

―――――――――

After that, a rumor spread throughout the empire.

A monster that causes all sorts of natural disasters just by passing by has appeared in the world.

* * *

“Then, the principal definitely got involved.”

I don’t know why intervention is important, but I nodded because it’s not wrong.

“Um, well… yeah.”

The anonymous man lay down on the spot, his whole body relaxed as if in relief.

“Thank goodness… .”

“What’s fortunate?”

He asked with a slight frown.

Isn’t that actually a bad thing?

Because of that, I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding, and if I think about resolving it, I think I’ll have a headache again.

And that’s not all there is to ask.

“Why did you use the children to raid the palace?”

A question that has been floating around since the day before.

Why did the Three Swords of the Heavenly Demon Sect join hands with a spy who infiltrated the academy?

The anonymous man opened his mouth as if he knew I was going to ask.

“To catch it more clearly.”

“Are you sure?”

When I tilted my head and asked for further explanation, the anonymous man nodded once and added.

“According to the investigation of the mixed sword, the spy hiding in the academy was not alone.”

“… Of course, it’s the Academy.”

Of course, I had some idea that the scale of the attack on the academy was too large for one person to handle alone.

But, as if his thoughts were a little wrong, Myeong shook his head slightly.

“It wasn’t an academy, their goal was the empire.”

“… Empire?”

“Yes, the raid on the Academy was the personal desire of the Reaper, and it is presumed that the one who brought the Reaper in had a grudge against the Empire itself.”

“Huh.”

Well, if he had intended to ruin the academy, he would have already achieved it once he successfully infiltrated as a professor.

Because the person who has the greatest influence on students’ common sense and concepts is not someone like the principal, but the professor who teaches the class.

The best way to destroy a group is to shake it from within.

But, when you’re infiltrated as a professor, why would you incite the Reapers to attack you?

As the tail is long, it can be caught.

This means that it is completely unnecessary.

“Yes, at that point, we started investigating on the premise that the spy was behind a single group.”

Once the spy’s identity was revealed, they said they investigated everything from where he moved, to the people he met, to anything that seemed different from his usual behavior.

You worked really hard in just two days.

“… But who was that spy?”

Only then did he realize that he hadn’t said anything yet, and with an awkward expression, he let out a final ‘ah’ before continuing.

“He was the professor we met during our first class.”

“Ah… That rascal.”

also.

From the very beginning, it seemed like he had quite malicious intentions in trying to make me his assistant.

“Did you succeed in finding that group?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“… Okay, keep talking.”

A somewhat long, anonymous speech followed.

“First of all… .”

The professor was growing impatient with the siege closing in, and at that moment, the place that appeared like a savior, Cheonmasingyo.

Although it wasn’t easy to make contact at first.

Hongeom shows himself investigating not only himself but also everyone in the academy.

It is said that this was done to make people guess that the ‘Academy’ is a group that holds a grudge or is targeting them.

After that contact, things progressed smoothly.

Since we confirmed that the other party was a group and not an individual, we could not hastily arrest the professor.

Another option would have been to capture the professor and interrogate him.

If he didn’t have much information, or if he used some kind of sorcery that didn’t leak information, there was a chance he could just cut off the tail and run away.

So, it was used as a method to wipe out that group at once… .

“Good agitation, they are going to attack the palace… .”

“That’s right.”

He sighed deeply, stroking his throbbing hair.

… No matter what, isn’t the palace a bit too much?

If we are not careful, there is a possibility that the children of the Heavenly Demon Sect will also be stamped out by the Empire, and… .

“Did Anna know this?”

“… Maybe, yes.”

“What is vaguely maybe? Maybe… .”

He narrowed his eyes at the nameless man who was tilting his head as if he was not sure.

“The identity of the professor, who is clearly a spy, and the fact that he is a group and not an individual have been made known to everyone.”

“… Really?”

It seems like they didn’t communicate at all.

As I nodded and listened, Moo-myeong rolled his eyes and continued speaking.

“However, the way it was notified was closer to a notification.”

“… What.”

“I heard that Anna left a note of what will happen in the future in the principal’s office.”

“…”

Only then did I begin to understand why Anna was looking at me that way.

No, you’re just leaving a note?

Isn’t it more like a notification than a notification itself?

And I’ve never seen the contents of that note itself, so this is just speculation.

If only it had been written as a short message, ‘I will raid the palace with my spies the next day.’

“… Wouldn’t we look like criminals?”

Isn’t that right? Since they actually attacked together, it seems like he might be the culprit.

“Isn’t that okay?”

“The children of the Shingyo were members of the Empire before they became members of the Cheonma Shingyo. What’s so good about that?”

As my words continued to speak in a sharp tone, Myeong-un changed his posture politely and continued speaking.

“It’s a little different, they are members of the Heavenly Demon Sect before they were imperial citizens.”

“… Isn’t that the same thing?”

“It’s a little different. All of those who gathered at Cheonmasingyo were born and raised in the slums.”

When he nods his chin to suggest more, the anonymous nods his head.

“They will never feel a sense of belonging to the empire.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes, most people consider the teacher who gave them direct grace as their savior rather than the empire that neglected them.”

“… Hmm.”

The nameless man continued speaking with a sly smile.

“And, there is nothing for the Master to worry about.”

“… I’m worried.”

“Yes, are you worried that the Three Swords might harm the people of the empire?”

“… Well, that’s right.”

The anonymous man smiled as if he knew this would happen and continued speaking.

“Immediately after the raid, the sky fell, signaling the three swords to leave the scene.”

“So optimism… .”

“Yes. If you want to convey your thoughts without speaking, wouldn’t it be a great skill?”

I was speechless for a moment, looking at the anonymous figure who was still smiling.

By the way… I’m the savior?

At first, they were not people who gathered with good intentions, but people who gathered just for me… .

As if he noticed my thoughts, the anonymous person smiled faintly and continued speaking.

“Master, isn’t hypocrisy also a good thing?”

“… Hmm.”

I feel like I’ve heard that before… .

“No matter what the intention, the seeds that the Master planted have bloomed into beautiful flowers.”

I think you can be a little proud, he said, nodding his head as he looked at the small, anonymous note.

Yeah… yeah.

Whatever my intentions, the children I raised made those choices and achieved their own results.

I just have to congratulate him on that achievement.

No matter how the process went, Anna and the knights of the empire would eventually succeed in suppressing the group… .

“Well… I guess what’s good is good.”

“That’s right.”
