late night near midnight.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a black figure galloped through the north gate of the academy. It jumped over the fence in an instant and headed straight into the forest..
A boy wearing a hooded hood.
The boy with blue hair swaying in the wind was Alvin Addict, the current student council executive running for the next student council president..
“Whoa.”
Shortly after hiding completely in the woods.
Alvin let out a breath he had been holding in and looked around. She immediately confirmed that she was not feeling the presence, and then hurried her steps again..
After a not short time has passed.
He stopped only after reaching the center of the forest. After that, Alvin looked at the withered old tree..
“It must have been like this?”
Elvin muttered a low voice and immediately squatted down in front of an old tree and dug up the ground..
how long has it been like that?
As I was digging the ground for a long time, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in Elvin's hand..
“This…….”
the tip of the old sack.
Upon discovering this, Alvin moved his hands more busily than ever before, and before long, he pulled out a complete bag..
Immediately after checking the inside.
Alvin's face was dyed with a flower color..
“it was good.”
A satisfied smile on your lips.
In the meantime, the moon that had been hidden by the clouds came out and illuminated the inside of the sack in Elvin's hand..
Inside were blue tea leaves. It is an object called Droga's leaf. Alvin looked at this and made an ecstatic expression..
‘I was a bit dubious at first…….’
The first time Erwin learned about the Droga leaf was when he was introduced to a wizard by a distant relative, a collateral branch of the family..
The wizard presented a special tea leaf for Erwin, who suffers from insomnia, and it is the Droga leaf in the sack..
‘Originally it was said to be poisonous.’
However, if the leaves are removed, dried in the sun, and brewed into tea, the toxicity disappears and only the unique efficacy of Droga remains..
High uplifting and strong arousal effects, and even the effect of falling asleep quickly. Thanks to her, Alvin was freed from her long-suffering insomnia..
‘Of course, it is somewhat addictive…….’
Same goes for alcohol and cigarettes..
So I didn't really care.
‘and one more.’
The leaves of Droga are useful other than brewing them into tea. It is the fact that it is used as a material to recruit the executives of the student council..
In particular, the current student council president, Anton, and Mond Parzeca, whom I met during the day, fell in love with the charm of leaves, just like Elvin..
Thanks to this, Alvin received strong support from the executives and ran for the next student council president..
Is that why? Alvin cherished Droga's leaf like a treasure. She then put her sack in her backpack and then she got up..
“I'll have to go back soon.”
The north gate of Arsene Academy is reinforced with patrols after midnight. Recalling this fact, Alvin immediately moved to the academy..
some time after that.
After escaping the forest, he tried to climb over the fence and return to the dormitory, just like he did earlier..
But at that moment.
I heard a voice grabbing my feet.
“……Elvin Addict.”
A voice full of chill.
Two shadows that came out from behind blocked Alvin's path. Girls with light blue and purple hair respectively.
“where are you going?”
“Leaving the academy this late at night isn't against the rules?”
It was Iris and Camilla..
Alvin couldn't hide his embarrassment at the appearance of unexpected people..
“why are you here…….”
“I came to cooperate with the search because there was a student who escaped from the back gate..”
“Rather, will you answer the question first??”
Camilla prompts for an answer.
Alvin, who hadn't grasped the situation yet, still had a puzzled look on his face. She just quickly regained her composure and calmly stated the situation..
“I just took a little walk.”
“……Are you talking about a walk??”
“Yes, as I was walking aimlessly, I came all the way here without even realizing it. Oh, of course I'm willing to pay for violating the school rules..”
Lies that come naturally.
Still, it's perfect as an excuse. Alvin had a smile of repentance inside..
“hehe, yes?”
Camilla, on the other hand, had a strange face..
Eyes shining as if they were not. Alvin frowned at the slightly displeased gaze..
But that's only for a while.
Alvin was taken aback by Camilla's question..
“So what's in that bag?”
“Big! nothing in particular…….”
“There's no way a bag with nothing would be so bulging. know me as a fool now?”
Camilla's narrowed eyes.
An incisive comment soon followed..
“If you're going for a walk in the first place, why do you need a bag? Even though I have nothing to bring.”
“It's really no big deal. I just said that because it's just plain tea leaves..”
The word tea leaves is scary.
Iris and Camilla's eyes flashed. However, she could not continue the inquiry. She was because of someone who burst into the conversation..
“Then I want to see inside even more.”
“Hu, Your Excellency the Marquis?!”
Theoric Al Gorfant.
One of the five Masters of the Ruben Empire and an honorary professor at the Department of Military Science.
Alvin froze at the sudden appearance of Seoric. Theoric then spoke again..
“Cadet Alvin. can you hear me?”
“yes? uh, what do you say…….”
“You asked me to show you the inside of your backpack..”
the moment I heard that.
Alvin instinctively realized. If you hold on here longer, you will only lose yourself. So, she obediently put her backpack on the floor..
“……All right.”
Above all, in the current Empire, Droga's leaf is a little-known herb. So, if you ask me why I have these things, I'd be happy to say that I was going to use them for magical experiments..
Meanwhile, Seoric, who received the backpack, checked inside without hesitation. The moment he saw Droga's leaves, Theoric murmured softly:.
“oh, it was real.”
“Yes, as I said before, these are very ordinary tea leaves. I have been suffering from insomnia lately, so I often worry about it.…….”
When his innocence was revealed, Alvin continued to answer with a relieved face. At that time, as he listened to her story, Rick Seo's expression suddenly hardened..
“what? I was worried about this?”
“that, yes.”
what? what did i say wrong?
Alvin nodded his head in a daze and rolled his eyes here and there as if he was anxious. At that moment, a number of people showed her presence..
“……!”
Guys popping up from all sides.
It was an inspector under the Military Faculty and a special task force under the direct control of the Magic Faculty. They immediately surrounded Alvin and opened their mouths with hard faces..
“Elvin Addict.”
“You are arrested for violating imperial law..”
“The crime is for attempting to take and bring in Droga leaves, which are designated as high-risk drugs..”
“……yes?”
Alvin asked blankly..
As if I still don't understand the situation.
“Stomach, a dangerous drug? what is that…….”
“go and talk.”
“drag it!”
Meanwhile, the Inspector and Task Force agents did not answer Alvin's questions. He just bound him and took him to the academy..
After Alvin was dragged away.
Iris and Camilla stared blankly at Droga's leaves spilling on the floor..
“From the outside, it looks like an ordinary tea leaf, but it is a super-dangerous drug.…….”
“Is this such a dangerous herb??”
Iris turned to Theoric..
Facing her gaze as she asked cautiously, Seorik silently nodded..
“ah, you guys don't know.”
Turning around, he drew his sword..
Then, he pokes a leaf of Droga that was rolling on the floor and continued his explanation..
“This is a drug with strong hallucinogenic effects. At the same time, it was the cause of the Western War..”
“……yes?”
“Ha, but the war in the west…….”
“You probably learned that the war was sparked by a quarrel between nobles, but in fact, it was a reason that was appropriately made up after the war..”
At those words, the two girls widened their eyes..
If someone else had said this, they would have dismissed it as an unfunny joke..
Because he was a nobleman who directly participated in the Western War and one of the heroes who ended the Western War along with Berze Erkazan..
“The truth is that the fight to take over Droga's colony was the cause..”
“Then why did you hide the truth?”
“I decided it was dangerous for this plant to be known to the world. It's not too addictive at first, but if you keep taking it, it will eventually become a ruin..”
Finally a terrifying answer.
Theoric trampled the leaves of Droga that had spilled from the sack with his feet..
“I was relieved well over 10 years after completely destroying the distribution network, but I never thought I would see it again like this..”
It was with a somewhat bittersweet smile.
Some time later, the bag containing Droga's leaves was secured as an important piece of evidence. Soon after, the inspector and the task force approached this way..
“Excuse me, Your Excellency.”
“How to trace a procurer?”
“Oh you don't have to worry about that.”
“yes? but…….”
“It's okay, so leave it to me. Because Ulan and Dillia cadets are on the hunt.”
Arsene's Master and Archmage.
As soon as the names of the two came out, the inspectors and the task force immediately shut their mouths. If the two of them stepped out, it would be a matter of time before they caught the helper..
‘apart from that…….’
Meanwhile, after answering.
Seoric's complexion darkened..
“……I'm feeling a bit ominous.”
I couldn't figure out why.
That's why Seoric kept his mouth shut and looked at the western sky. It was the direction of the imperial castle of the continent's most powerful country, the Ruben Empire..
2.
Meanwhile at that time.
By the time Alvin was arrested at the scene.
On the outskirts of the northern forest, a wizard was speeding along the forest road..
“omg! Huh Eok!”
A wizard who flutters an ashen robe.
A rough breath rose to the tip of his chin, but he couldn't stop. It was because there were beings fiercely pursuing him..
‘Damn, damn! damn!’
Abyssal Worshiper, Rav.
As one of the executives in the organization, he came here following instructions from his superiors..
he has only one purpose.
It is to deliver Droga's leaf to Elvin Addict. He didn't know why he had to convey it, but he obediently obeyed the order..
However, it was judged that it was dangerous to meet and deliver the leaves in person, so the leaves were delivered by burying them in a pre-arranged place..
I've already moved like this three or four times.
So far, nothing particularly problematic has happened. So, thinking that it would be similar this time, I took on the mission without thinking about it..
‘however…….’
It was a little different this time.
It was good until I buried the sack containing Droga's leaves in the usual burial place, but it was because a warning suddenly came to my head right after that..
【There are guys following you.】
【get out of the woods as much as possible.】
The Lord of the Abyss, a follower of Lacus.
At that whisper, Rav immediately left the scene. He had no doubt of warning. Because the subordinates were beings specialized in surveillance.
However, the escape time was not long..
It was because, just as he was about to escape the forest, he was suddenly attacked by a fierce sword strike..
“……!”
At the warning of instinct, Rav managed to dodge the attack. After rolling to the floor, he stood up again and soon identified the assailant..
pale blonde girl.
The moment he faced the turquoise eyes shining sharply under the moonlight, Rav realized the identity of the girl..
‘Isabella Elead!’
The nemesis of the abyss mentioned above.
It is one of the seven stars that will later light up the darkness of the abyss. At the same time, he was also the existence that Lacus calls the hero..
When Rav's eyes were shaking.
Ibela, who quickly fixed her sword, began pouring sword strikes over and over again. Rav frowned at the constant barrage..
“Kut! keew!”
Wounds all over the body.
Perhaps Ibella's purpose was to keep hurting her and distract her from concentration. Then she couldn't use magic normally.
But Rav was different..
‘don't look at me funny!’
Rav is a high-level wizard. No matter how brave he is, he is overwhelmed by a girl who is not even 20 years old and is not weak enough to interfere with his magic..
That's why he completed the magic formula with a high degree of concentration. The moment he tried to put magic on Bella's face after closing the gap between her.
“……uh?”
A bewildered expression bloomed on his face..
The magic formula was completed and mana was blown into it, but the magic did not activate. Then Bella's sword flew through the air and pierced her shoulder..
“kkeaak!”
With a scream mixed with pain, Rav staggered and collapsed into his seat. With him, she just realized why the magic didn't work..
Silver haired girl with pointy ears.
It's because of discovering the wizard who is scattering tremendous magic power behind Ibella..
‘Dylia Arpen!’
Mana's Lover.
The most powerful wizard in history, said to have recently reached the level of a great wizard..
The moment he confirmed Dillia's existence, Rav realized. She realizes that she has no chance of winning even if she fights against a wizard who blocks the magic itself..
“ha ha ha…….”
Truly a precarious situation.
Facing the overwhelming talent gap, Rav lowered his head in resignation..
“……is this far.”
But I haven't given up yet.
Because a bizarre smile bloomed on Rav's lips. After a while, he raised his arms high and shouted in a booming voice..
“Ah, abyss! Please accept the flesh and blood of this insignificant servant..”
“……!”
The moment I saw this sight.
Dillia's face hardened like stone. It was because she had seen a similar sight before..
This was the action of the Abyss worshipers who attacked him during the Trial of the Hero in the Gorge of the Principality of Arpen during the past summer vacation..
“Stop it now! I'm thinking of killing myself!”
Along with Dillia's urgent cry, Ibella's sword moved like a flash. Looking at this, Rav smirked..
‘It's great to notice…….’
It's already late.
The moment he realized that there was no chance of winning, Rav let out all the mana he had stored in his body..
A sneer formed on Rav's lips as he saw the two girls hurriedly rushing towards him. But at that moment, an unexpected attack struck him..
oh oh oh oh oh!
A sudden loud noise.
At the same time, I felt a tremendous pain in the back of my head, and my eyes turned white as well..
‘just what happened……?’
Rav tried to quickly grasp the situation, but couldn't. It was because he let go of his mind with intense pain..
and the result.
The magic of the abyss, which was on the verge of runaway, calmed down again, and Rav collapsed on the ground like a doll with unraveled threads..
“……uh.”
“Lord, you're not dead?”
Rav's body without even a slight movement.
When Dillia and Ibela were embarrassed.
“Okay.”
With a calm voice, a man with a huge body made his presence known in the place where Rav had been..
“Because I hit it easy.”
Ulan, a muscular barbarian with waving auburn hair, spoke as if it was not a big deal..
holding a stick dripping with blood.
