Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 136
Episode 136
136fury. Deal with Lucia(2)
“Our family is cursed by the devil? It's really varied..”
Lucia picked her ear with her little finger. Like it's not worth listening to anymore.
Even though I said that I knew a secret that could lead to the downfall of the family, a secret that the family was keeping secret, they just laughed it off and dismissed it as bullshit..
‘Still, he is the eldest son of the Lucid family?.’
It's very relaxing.
Does this mean that age cannot be ignored? This is the charm of older people?
then… … It might be a bit better.
‘Well, that's not what's important right now..’
Lucia looks like nothing is wrong.
But inside, you're probably very nervous..
It is an undeniable fact that the Lucid family is under the devil's curse. Moreover, the devil's curse…….
‘In fact, it's no different from a transaction..’
When a devil encounters a human, his suggestions can be broadly divided into two categories:.
‘‘Contract with the Devil’ and ‘Devil’s Curse’ are just that; the former is a transaction for personal gain..
It is a serious crime worthy of summary execution..
On the other hand, the latter, the devil's curse, is not a contract in which one or both parties benefit, but a contract that binds both parties by creating a 'promise' that must be kept or performed by each other..
It is a contract that may weaken the devil's power depending on the situation, so it is not treated as a serious crime..
step.
‘There is a clause that says only if you report it first..’
Of course, the Lucid family did not announce this fact. Even if you are from a prestigious family, there is a high probability that you will receive punishment equivalent to execution..
No, since they are from a prestigious family, they will be punished even more..
So I have no choice but to feel tight inside..
As if to prove it, Lucia spoke up when I kept my mouth shut..
“No matter how much you want to be taught by me... … The joke was too harsh..”
“Hehe, you're dismissing the truth as a joke. Isn't it Lucia's fault that it's too much??”
“Maybe so. You look confident, very nice to see. Well, okay. So where should I listen? Why do you think my family is cursed by the devil?.”
Lucia said that and burst into laughter..
An article that could only come from a weekly magazine that was on the verge of being shut down due to low sales. The attitude is to dismiss it as such..
But I could tell that the intention was completely different..
‘Are you trying to determine whether I really know it or not and at the same time find out where the information came from?.’
The goal is to determine the truth and at the same time confirm the source of the rumor and prevent further rumors from spreading..
It's not a bad decision.
Except that the other person is me..
“Hehe, everyone in the Lucid family has a nanny or something similar.?”
flinch-.
Lucia trembled..
Did he realize his mistake? She opened her mouth hastily..
“What's strange about that? My nanny has been with me ever since I was born..”
“That's what's strange. Children of other prestigious families often fail even before they reach adulthood. Isn't it such a strange thing??”
“It's because we're close. And our family doesn't abandon people carelessly. I guess it's a repayment for taking care of me..”
“Hehe… … Well, you could look at it that way..”
Lucia stroked her hair and continued speaking..
“ha… … I'm not saying your logic is full of flaws.?”
“Which part is like that??”
“Of course, from beginning to end. First of all, what's wrong with having a nanny with you? It has nothing to do with the devil's curse.?”
No, there is a very close correlation. That's why Lucia speaks so passionately..
“The claim you are making now is no different from claiming that you are under the devil's curse that says, 'Members of the Lucid family must be accompanied by a nanny.' Why does the devil put such restrictions on me??”
“Hehe, there's no need to understand their thoughts, right? I guess he's a pervert..”
“Ha, yes! Let's say you're right. But take a look around.”
I glanced around. Training center we often use.
There was nothing different from usual. If I had to pick one, it would be that a little bit of the blood I shed earlier was on the ground.?
“If you had eyes, you would see it too. I don't have a nanny with me right now. According to your argument, I should have had a nanny by my side. How are you going to explain this??”
As Lucia said, it is Lucia and I who are currently here. There were only two of us.
For your information, these days, my nanny was looking for another groom candidate after eyeing me..
I saw you working at the restaurant again today. What did they say? Is that the best place to observe??
Still, he said that there was no child like me, so he would take care of things for me every time I went to a restaurant..
Anyway, it's clear that there's no nanny here right now..
Therefore, Lucia's claim that 'nanny has nothing to do with the devil's curse' is extremely valid..
but.
“I never said you had to have a nanny around..”
“……what?”
“I just said that the people of the Lucid family bring around nannies or equivalents. I didn't say you had to stick together..”
“That's it!”
Lucia screamed..
Lucia, who was relaxed in any situation, was busy fussing..
That's a good response. This means that there is no longer any time to show off Lucia's unique charm that is unique to older people..
“What am I doing with a child... … I'm going. Don't make a joke like that again. Because next time you will never see me again.”
Lucia placed her hand on the training room door handle..
But she had no choice but to stop.
“It's probably for protection purposes..”
Stand tall.
Lucia stiffened. So much so that you can feel it even from behind..
But it's still too early to be surprised.
“I'm not saying you should protect your nanny. Quite the contrary, the nanny…….”
They stick around to protect the people of the Lucid family..
Kwaang!!
“Ugh!”
A scream naturally came out of my mouth..
When I came to my senses, I found myself pinned against the wall..
Standing in front of him was Lucia, with fire pouring out of her eyes..
The wall of the training center that even A-class [Ilseom] could withstand was broken, and he was trapped inside..
I couldn't believe it even though I experienced it with my own body..
“……Did you see it? I am strong. It's also much stronger than the nanny. But the nanny protects us? Does that make sense??”
“Cough! Well, that's the devil's curse..”
“what?”
“‘In case you encounter ‘those guys’. The people of House Lucid can't do anything..”
It's the same for 'those guys' who can't do anything, but it's not a simple matter..
Because members of the Lucid family have many people to protect..
An object that everyone nearby must protect..
Moreover, if the people of the Lucid family leave after seeing the devil, it will arouse great suspicion..
In other words, the nanny is a preparedness plan to respond when that situation occurs. In other words…….
“A scapegoat to bide time while you run away, right??”
“……!!”
visor!
The sword was pointed at my neck again.
The difference is that the tip of the sword touches the side of the neck, not the front.?
It means that you are really in danger of getting your head cut off..
“dare… … How can you insult someone who devotes himself to his family and family in front of me? Even if my head falls off, I won’t have anything to say.”
“Hehe, the hero of the empire would kill a student at the academy. You will be greatly criticized.”
“doesn't care. Killing an unknown child like you can't even put a blemish on my honor. If anything, your reputation will be higher for killing the dark side.?”
The honor that Lucia has built so far is so high that it is okay to kill dozens of innocent people..
So there is no lie in what Lucia said just now. Except I'm in the dark.
“Hehe, you'll regret it if you kill me.?”
“……Are you saying they have installed a safety device?.”
“Isn’t it obvious? I told a trusted colleague. Oh, of course we don't know yet. They just told me to go to a secret location and open the letter if I didn't contact them..”
“…….”
The devil's curse on the Lucid family.
The way to prove this is very simple.
If the emperor gives an order for confirmation, there will be no way to avoid it..
“……I don't know how I found out this information, but it's unfortunate. 'Cause we have a way around it.”
Yes, I know. your dirty looks.
I see you guys doing things you should never do to protect your family..
The disgusting face hidden behind that nobility..
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of times in the game..
Because I saw it clearly.
“They're probably trying to prove it through Miss Rodelin. She escaped from the devil's curse…….”
A unique being, destined to embrace all the sins of the Lucid family..
Because it's a poor child.
Lucia's eyes grew noticeably larger..
She lowered her sword, staggered and took a small step back..
“you you… … How on earth do you do that?!”
How did you know? Of course.
“It's a secret.”
When I said that while covering my lips with my finger, Lucia looked at me in vain..
Why are you talking like that? It's a signature pose that I put some care into..
“……Pfft.”
I pulled myself out of the training ground wall..
I got cut here and there by a piece of rock, but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't move my body..
“you… … What on earth is this??”
“Hehe, I don’t know. First of all, Lucia… … Let's just say I'm on the same side as you. For your information, the Lucid family's affairs will be kept secret, so you don't have to worry..”
“……how can i believe that?”
What are you going to do if you don't believe me??
I shrugged my shoulders, and Lucia slightly lowered her head. Lucia realized it too..
The fact that no threat can be posed to me.
The scale's axis is completely tilted towards me..
Now, it's time to start negotiations in earnest..
“So, let's make a deal..”
“transaction?”
“Yes, I wanted a deal from the beginning. Lucia is the one who created this situation. Isn't that right??”
I will tell you about the survivors of the Lester family, and I ask you to teach me swordsmanship..
It was Lucia who refused. Did you realize that fact?.
Lucia frowned heavily..
“You know, it's not fair to keep your mouth shut after only being taught for a month. So let me ask you two more things..”
He said, pointing one finger at a time..
As I said before, the first thing is to faithfully guide us for a month..
“Help me when I ask for help. However, I will limit it to three times..”
“……So there are five in total..”
“Hehe, it's still an advantageous deal for Lucia. Do you not like it??”
Lucia closed her mouth..
Three or five.
It's a cheap price compared to protecting the Lucid family's secrets..
Lucia nodded nervously..
Two additional things were put on the scale:.
Now finally.
“I ask you to share information about the people who did this to the Leicester family and form an alliance with me..”
“……alliance?”
“Yes, the Lucid family and me. It's about building alliances..”
Lucia frowned. An alliance between an entire family and one individual..
Although our alliance is limited to the Leicester family, I am just an academy student..
Even if your pride gets hurt, it will hurt too much..
“I'm sorry, but that's difficult. Because it’s not something I can decide on my own..”
“I don’t mind telling the Marquis..”
“……what?”
“This means that I don't mind letting Marquis Luke know of my existence..”
“I'm sorry, but Rodelin and I have different fathers. They're not like us! I won't leave you alone?”
I'm sorry, but it's the same here..
I am.
‘I'm going to punch that disgusting bastard when I see his face..’
To protect the family, to protect family members, vassals, and other people..
That disgusting bastard who forced Rodelin to sacrifice himself..
I will definitely scold you..
“No, no matter how much you think about it, it’s impossible. I want to see my father. no way. Don't you know if you deserve it?…….”
It's a qualification. You definitely need to have some qualifications..
You would have to have a certain level of skill to get Marquis Luke interested..
You have to be at least a 6-star knight to catch it at the end of your eyes..
But there was 'one thing' about me that he couldn't help but be interested in..
“Let me prove it. be careful.”
“what?”
Now is the time to show off your secret trick..
I took out a sword and a pocket watch from subspace..
A sword held tightly together with a pocket watch..
The left and right feet move forward and backward, controlling the stride length..
He raised the sword he held with both hands to the sky..
Sigh.-.
When I slightly spread the back of my hand, the pocket watch began to fall..
Lucia's gaze turns to the sword raised to the sky and the falling pocket watch..
[[Open eyes] When I used the skill, her gaze met mine..
click!
I hit the ground and stepped on the open pocket watch..
Lucia's body suddenly stiffened. At the same time.
The fourth secret of the Lucid clan.
split the sky.
