Even though Lucy, who was in charge of everything, fell asleep, time at the academy went by smoothly.

First of all, the commotion that arose inside the academy calmed down quickly.

First of all, the biggest factor was the face of the saint of the given church.

Fabi has long been at the forefront of the fight against evil spirits, and even at this moment, he is considered the party who solved the case.

Who could be more worried when she declares that most problems have been resolved in the midst of a barrier that is slowly being restored, and that she will resolve other remaining problems with the people of the given church?

The people inside the Academy who saw the Sword Saint blow off the dragon’s head believed the Saint’s declaration and the First Queen’s declaration that she would actively support the Saint and decided to wait for a later announcement.

The fact that most students and faculty were deep asleep inside the barrier also played a major role in calming people down.

For those who wake up from a cool sleep without knowing anything, today’s incident is just a small disturbance that occurred during the night.

Wouldn’t it be difficult to feel it when you tell people who barely woke up from a nightmare that you almost died?

Thanks to this, the atmosphere between the students who returned to the dormitory after receiving various tests from the priests and the faculty members working inside the academy was sharply different.

The mood of the students was mostly calm.

The immature people cheered that the exams were pushed back or even said they might take a leave of absence.

Someone else was worried that Soul Academy’s reputation would fall.

A man with a wealth of goods gathered together a few anxious people and sold them some crude trinkets.

Those who valued grades gathered together and opened books despite the commotion.

Some people who were greedy for power helped the knights and priests of the kingdom.

Among the dogs, there were many who ran around eagerly, hoping to attract the attention of those in power.

The atmosphere of the students was so relaxed. I felt anxious, but at the same time, I was confident that it would be okay.

However, the professors were different.

They were taking the current situation very seriously.

“The academy cannot be operated in this current state.”

Several department heads shake their heads at the words spoken by the academy’s dean, even though he is sweating profusely.

“From the distant past until now, our academy has been the target of attacks by followers of evil spirits. There is a good reason why the history of the Academy is called the history of education and the history of struggle at the same time.”

It has happened several times so far that Soul Academy has been attacked by followers of evil spirits. Each time, the Academy defeated them based on the barrier left behind by Erginus.

“So we would have tried to continue the struggle in any serious situation, but the recent situation is unusual.”

First of all, the frequency with which the evil god’s followers attack the academy has changed.

People who used to come once or twice a year at most have been causing incidents every semester lately.

Does that mean the scale has become smaller? at all. Rather, the scale of those attacking the academy has become larger than before.

Just today, didn’t the Void’s followers attack this place with the intention of finishing everything they had done?

“But what about us? Are you preparing more thoroughly compared to last year? no. Not at all. Instead, it became even more of a mess.”

When the dean openly points out the factional fight going on inside the academy, coughing sounds can be heard from all over.

Nevertheless, the dean did not hide his sharp tone.

“It is a miracle that there were no casualties at the academy today. This means that no blood was shed because the Lord took care of us by borrowing the body of a saint! What if the saint was not there! If only the Sword Saint wasn’t nearby! Do you think our heads will still be attached to our necks!?”

The sound of clearing one’s throat naturally subsides due to a strong attitude that would be unimaginable to the normally weak dean.

There is a justification for every word the dean utters, so even if it is inconvenient, it cannot be argued about.

“The great first queen of Soladin.”

“Yes. Dean. Please tell me.”

“As the dean who has led Soul Academy for several years, I would like to advise you. First of all, please stop the factional fighting taking place at the Academy. I don’t know what you want, but if Solladin’s future dies because of that, wouldn’t it mean nothing?”

“I understand. Not only will I reprimand members of my faction, but I will personally apologize to those who have left their professorship. Of course, we will also discuss with the second queen.”

“Besides, there are a few other things I would like to tell you…”

Caria, who was eavesdropping on their meeting outside the window, smiled as she saw the dean desperately raising his voice while hiding his trembling hands under the desk.

That guy also spent his last years in a very noisy manner. Ever since I was working as an informant, I’ve been saying that he would live a quiet life and disappear in his later years.

So why did my employer catch me even though I was held by a leash?

My employer treats people under him very poorly.

I’m dying because they keep asking me to do something that doesn’t even seem like a simple request.

I don’t know how many times I swallowed the thought that that would be a bit difficult.

Every time I show some hesitation, I feel like I’m a poor old lady who can’t even do this. There’s nothing you can do about it because you’re old. Even if you hadn’t told me that you understood that it was difficult to move because the cartilage was worn out, I would have refused to refuse!

shit!

Caria moved her feet as she felt sympathy for the dean’s pitiful appearance.

Still, since he used to do a lot of work, I think he will handle the work itself without any problems.

It looks like the contamination inside the academy has been almost completely resolved thanks to the employer’s recent actions.

It was also confirmed that there were no victims. Since the barrier has been completely restored, is everything done within the academy?

Things that now need to be dealt with outside the academy.

…Ugh. really. The work is not finished.

If this continues, I will die from overwork before my employer’s problem is solved!

Caria came out of the academy, shaking her head wildly, and walked towards the back alley with a long sigh.

I hope that my talented student can solve all the problems without any problems. I think if you increase the work even for him, the wrinkles will actually increase.

“Stir. Master.”

Karia arrived at the hideout that she had put a lot of effort into decorating since her return, and her eyes widened when she saw her student Alsatin mumbling.

“What kind of accident did you get into?”

“…Yes?”

“Something is wrong so they are looking at me! Caught interfering with the teleportation spell? Or did the problem arise because of the intentional delay!?”

“No! no! It can’t be! If there was a problem there, there’s no way I would be here safely.”

“…No?”

“Yes. Everything that Lady Aln requested was handled neatly.”

Caria quietly looked into her student’s eyes. There was no trace of a lie. Alsatin was only telling the truth.

“Then why are you looking at me?”

Otherwise, there’s no need to pay attention, right? Caria, who had been tilting her head as she had no clue, narrowed her eyebrows when she noticed two old men waiting in one corner of the hideout.

On one side is an old woman who works at the academy. I remember him as someone who had a pretty colorful past.

On the other side.

“…Blacksmith Inuki?”

“Oh. Do you know me? It’s been quite a while since I was buried in the wilderness, so there won’t be many people who remember me, right?”

“Because the weapons you left behind are that great. There are still many people looking for you.”

The various weapons made by Inuki are sold at high prices even after a long period of time.

Inuki’s armor, which shows its sharpness rather than rusting even after a long period of time, has its own value.

Because of this situation, many people who are looking for good weapons are looking for Inuki’s presence.

He was the one who created weapons of this size even when he was young, and he said he was curious about what would come out if he honed his skills over several decades.

“Hmm. I guess I’ll have to work hard to hide my name from now on.”

“How could someone who doesn’t want their identity revealed to be here?”

“Because there was someone who wanted to make weapons for me. I came to catch the kite because it bothered this old lady.”

“ was dragged by this old man. I have so much to do, but I wonder what a nuisance it is.”

“What are you saying? As soon as I saw that young guy’s face, I approached him with bloodshot eyes and asked, “Who is that that walked all the way here?””

“Oh my. Did I do that?”

Karia, who saw the servant’s shameless smile, understood the general situation.

So, our student was caught by these two people while he was coming to join us after finishing everything.

My student couldn’t shake off the pressure from the two people who had been through all kinds of things, so he thought he had brought an uninvited guest and was watching me.

what. It’s no big deal. I was shocked because I thought things had increased again.

Karia let out a sigh of relief, told her disciple to go do her work, and then took a seat across from the two old men.

“Hello. Mr. Inuki. Servi. My name is Narin, and I lead several informants.”

She naturally said one of the many pseudonyms and checked the expressions on the two people’s faces.

You both seem very urgent. I don’t know who he’s looking for, but he seems to be someone important.

I don’t know who caught the eye of these two, but I’m lucky.

“Can I ask what kind of person you are looking for?”

“I am close to the man who just left. I’m sure you’re close with Narin.”

“That makes me even more curious. Who is the lucky person who received your attention?”

“She is the daughter of the Aln family.”

“…Yes?”
