Academy is frowned upon but not dark-Episode 193

Chapter 193

193fury. teacher and disciple(12)

The possibility of suddenly cutting my head off and dropping it..

It's a friendly atmosphere, but if it's Charon in front of you, it's more than enough..

Because he was a man called ‘Bad Ending Maker’ among users..

Is it because he saw my cautious attitude? Charon smiled and opened her mouth..

“As you expected, Mr. Douglas is alive. But I can't tell you what his current condition is..”

I thought to myself, sighing in relief..

It was natural that Charon would not reveal information about him. Douglas is currently.

‘Because I'm cursed by the devil.’

The devil's curse forced him not only to stay in the Holy Kingdom for several years, but also to change his name..

Let’s skip over what kind of curse it is. What's important now is getting Douglas to join the 'Volcan Punitive Force'..

I was about to tell you why I should bring Douglas on board..

“And don't worry, he's already decided to join..”

……I already decided to join?

At that moment, goosebumps ran down my spine..

‘Is it really an empire?…….’

Nonsense information about skulls standing up.

There were a few more side pieces of information, but that was the only main piece of information..

In general, it is natural to let down one's guard..

This is because the world is currently completely unaware of the existence and fear of the ‘undead’..

Although there are hundreds of thousands of skeletons buried in Kalos, the first thought that comes to mind is 'how strong can a bone be?'.

‘Of course, the rat sent by Charon confirmed that it was not an ordinary skeleton. Even so…….’

It doesn't make sense to go to fight across another country with this kind of information, and it makes even less sense to deploy several Charon-level strongmen..

So I can't help but get goosebumps.

‘Are you saying you won't let your guard down at all?…….’

It was a moment when I realized once again the horror of the empire..

‘Luna is also a problem... … It will be absolutely impossible to save Rodelin..’

Since my life is at stake, I decided to play as safely as possible..

After studying hard for several days after entering the academy, the mind map that led to the final page was completed..

‘Rodelin’s Salvation’ was not included in the mind map..

‘Because no one has succeeded in saving Rodelin..’

What I'm playing now is a survival game disguised as 'Academy Heroes'.

So it was natural that I gave up on Rodelin..

In the first place, he was only given a slave seal, but he moved well until the final boss battle..

But every time I saw Rodelin's face, that thought would stir..

‘The thought of 'I want to save you'.

But now, seeing the empire's response power, that thought came to mind..

Save Rodelin from those guys.?

‘Hey, hehe!’

I don't do it because it's dirty..

In the first place, saving Rodelin will be enough for me to return to Earth and challenge myself after surviving this survival game..

“…….”

I shook my head slightly to shake off random thoughts..

That the Empire is a scary bunch, and saving Rodelin. Because this isn’t what’s important right now..

The important thing now is that the empire is moving as I think, and the survival probability of Eleister, Charon, and Lucia has increased..

‘The probability of killing Volkan has also increased..’

that was important.

huh? There is only one more 8-star knight, so why make such a fuss??

It has to be that way. Former Douglas, now known as Adonis.…….

‘Because he is the owner of the holy sword.’

After losing its owner, the two holy swords lost their shine..

Although the power of the 9th Holy Sword Artena that I currently have is weakened, it will not be difficult to deal with the current Volkan..

“Are all your questions answered now??”

“Hehehe, that's enough. If you're the hero Douglas, you've got a lot of power..”

“It's not good to let down your guard. Just as we confirmed their existence, those in Kalos at that time also confirmed our existence. A lot of time has passed since then, so he ran away.…….”

“Either set a trap and wait. It's got to be one of two things..”

“…….”

Taaak!

Charon grabbed my head..

No, what did I do wrong?!

“Hehe, why are you hitting me??”

“That's right, since the guy who knew it might be a trap said 'enough is enough'. It's true that Douglas is great, but does he know how old he is??”

“I don't know the details... … She was around seventy when she had her funeral, so she must have been over eighty.?”

“He is eighty-three. It's been a long time since I became an old man..”

If you think about the average age in this world, you are the oldest among the elderly..

So it was natural for Charon to worry..

“9Since you are a castle knight, you must be better than most people. But compared to the days when he was called a hero, he will fall far short..”

This was a fact I also knew well. Because I learned the theory related to ‘mana’ during class..

As you age, problems arise not only with your body but also with your mana..

Currently, Douglas has 8 stars… … No, what I'm saying is that he probably won't be able to achieve the level of power of a 7-star knight..

but.

‘2One of the great holy sword's abilities is the goddess' protection..’

[Goddess' Protection].

A crazy skill that removes all status abnormalities and brings your physical abilities back to their prime..

It may only be for a moment, but it will be able to demonstrate a power comparable to the past..

It was a time when I was thinking about the episode in the game where Douglas first revealed the appearance of the two holy swords..

“I paid, now it's my turn to get paid.”

It's a price?

I had no choice but to make a question mark above my head..

We have business relationship. And the information I just received was something I had the right to demand as an information provider..

But you treat that as a ‘price’?.

Did they decide to use their superiority in power to kill me??

“……A glimpse.”

“yes?”

“Make sure Luna's Ilsom is sealed for the time being..”

Only then did I understand Charon's intentions..

Luna is now able to use Ilseom quite well..

Anyone who has seen a glimpse of the Lester family even once may suspect Luna's identity..

Charon's worries and concerns will be through the sky..

‘But I can't bear to ask you to protect Luna... … As a second-best solution, you're asking for sealing off Ilseom, which could cause problems.?’

I am the one who told Luna from the beginning, ‘It is forbidden to touch one’s face in front of others.’.

It doesn't matter if you listen to Charon's request..

The problem is that Caron made a counter-threat under the guise of a ‘price’..

‘How dare you mention the sacred price??’

It was a very, very cheeky act..

It seemed like we needed to establish our relationship once again..

“The information I was given today must have been a reasonable price..”

“In every transaction there is a service..”

“The owner has no intention of providing service.?”

“If you are thinking about future transactions, you should know how to provide at least a small service at this point. That's the owner who is good at business..”

“So, does this mean that Teacher Caron will also provide services? It's a hassle to send and receive, so why not just skip this service??”

In slang, the expression ‘let’s go out’.

The owner next door… … No, Charon, the imperial rat, started shaking her fists..

But you won't be able to swing your fist carelessly..

This is because the life of Luna, whom Charon cherishes, is at stake..

“after… … . Okay, good. what do you want?”

Charon lowered his fist. She seemed to have exercised superhuman patience.

It's a price... … Of course, you can also ask for money or artifacts here..

but.

“Hehe, it seems a bit odd for us to get paid for something like this. One word is enough.”

“……word?”

“Yes, the word 'please'.”

“……!!”

Right now, it was more important to show the arrogant Charon an example..

What happens if you put personal feelings into a sacred transaction? What happens if you break the rules?.

‘I'll teach you discipline.’

Yes. This was an act to discipline Charon..

I wasn't acting like this because I had an opportunity to make fun of Charon. really!

“…….”

I looked at Charon, who was moaning while moving his lips..

Come on, Charon. Come on tell me.

request.

‘It would be better if you also added the word ‘please’.!

“married couple…….”

wealth?

“……obituary news.”

“yes?”

“The news of your death may ring through the academy tomorrow..”

……Must be a joke?

Charon’s sunken eyes caught my eye..

Um, I see. Are you serious? Well, I guess the prank was a bit harsh..

“Let's change the conditions. Please especially tell me why you are so worried about Luna.…….”

Taaak!!

Charon hit my head hard..

He's a real bad guy. Trying to make a deal by force?!

“Hehe, I learned that forcing service from the owner is not a good consumer.…….”

But I had no choice but to stop talking. Because Charon raised her fist again.

“……But Mr. Caron is a regular customer. It is natural to provide service..”

Only then did Charon lower his fist..

So I was forced to provide the service..

“Actually, I've already said it. Don't use it in front of other people..”

“But you asked me to do that? He seems like a cocky guy.”

Isn't it you who tried to eat the sacred price raw??

He puffed out both cheeks and complained..

Charon's vicious hand grabbed my face and I immediately exploded..

“……Are you still not going to tell me what the deal was with Renia??”

Charon's grip holding my face. Through it all, I could see his unknown eyes..

What kind of relationship was the Caron and Leicester families??

“It's not like it doesn't exist. The deal that Teacher Charon made with Renia. I am willing to trade with that information..”

“……Are you saying we should disclose the transaction with Renia to each other? Not a bad idea. As long as you don't lie.”

“Hehe, you noticed it.?”

“bouncer.”

I reacted as if nothing had happened, but inside I was very puzzled..

The fact that you realized I was lying.

You reveal that so casually.

‘Although I expected it… … She could have just pretended not to know and scolded me? How can you tell me so obediently? What is your intention??’

It feels like the battle with Charon has become more complicated..

Charon said, taking his hand away from my face..

“Well, that was only when I survived..”

“Hehe, that’s surprising. Is he insecure??”

“There is too little information. It's even weirder to be confident when you're sticking your neck into the enemy's jaw. More than anything…….”

More than anything?

“My instincts are speaking. It won't be an easy fight.”

Charon seemed to have decided that Volkan would choose to fight rather than flee..

Can you instinctively know that fact? Is it like Leger's idiot fur radar??

“Personally, I don't think running away is a shameful act. Fighting even when you know you can't win is a foolish act..”

“You're being noble enough to tell me to run away when I'm at a disadvantage..”

Charon grabbed my head. This is now a habit..

“I also have similar thoughts, so don’t worry. This is a fight that will start from a disadvantageous position, and the enemy will not let us go quietly. but…….”

Charon's words stopped there..

When he opened his mouth again, the moonlight went behind the building, turning the room into darkness..

“What if... … If I can't come back, then Luna…….”

Because the room was dark, Charon's face was not visible..

But it seemed clear what Charon was trying to say..

‘Are you trying to ask for Luna when you are in the wrong?.’

For a moment, I felt a little irritated..

Because it was so different from the Charon I knew..

“To say such a weak thing... … That's not like you. Have you become more sensitive as you get older??”

“what……?”

“Isn’t it enough to win? Before fighting, do not be confident of victory or defeat. Who taught that??”

The Charon of today was not the Charon I knew..

How do you know that when you've only been together for a few months??

well. In general, can we say that 18 years is ‘at most’??

‘I must have taken Charon's classes at least tens of thousands of times and fought thousands of times..’

So I had no choice but to know Charon well..

Rough but clear.

They treat you harshly from the front, but take care of you from behind..

There are times when I treat them so harshly that I call them harsh, but deep down, I only think about the students..

The Charon I knew was that kind of person and teacher..

Yes, people like this are like Lucia..

‘He must be someone you can call ‘master’..

Well, it's not a good thing because it's not specified in the system window like Lucia, and it's a teacher who isn't fun to make fun of..

For him who is anxious, just this once... … Okay, let’s provide a service..

“So come back victorious, Master..”

A brief silence. Charon's faint laughter broke the silence..

“……bouncer. I've never had an arrogant bastard like you as a disciple..”

“Hehe, is that so??”

“He seems like a cocky guy. If you say something like that again, you should be prepared. I'll take your tongue out.”

Mumbling and muttering.-.

After that, Charon’s cries filled the room..

Well, now the Charon I know has returned. Although it was a little noisy.

‘That's probably why they judged this fight to be dangerous. Is there any way I can help??’

-There are some elements of anxiety... … Only the best of the available troops were carefully selected..

The word ‘anxiety factor’ that Charon said a moment ago got on my nerves..

I was sure. One of those unsettling factors is.

“Lucia would also be included..”

“……I can't believe I'm being called an anxiety factor by my students. This is something I really want to tell Lucia..”

Charon only refuted what I said, but did not deny it..

It meant that Lucia was one of the unsettling factors..

‘I guess it's because I didn't listen..’

This is a bigger problem than you think.

On the battlefield, it is important to basically ‘unify’ opinions..

Starting with whether to attack, defend, or retreat..

Operation, forward direction, personnel distribution, strategy, etc..

When things go differently than expected or when you are in a crisis, personal sense and judgment take precedence..

‘It is an absolute rule and a discipline of the battlefield to move within a set framework..

‘Judging by the number of members, it is highly likely that Elester or Charon will be planning the operation..’

Although their relationship with Charon has improved recently, their relationship can never be called 'good'. furthermore.

‘There's no way that slut Lucia can follow other people's words..’

Charon would also know this well..

That's why Lucia was included in the 'unsettling factor'..

‘It was like that in the game, but I know better now that I see it in person..’

It's impossible to get Lucia to follow orders..

‘Unless they are on a leash as thick as a chain.…….’

therefore.

I can give it to Charon..

A chain, a leash made of very thick and strong iron..

“Well, let me give you a gift to cheer you up..”

“gift?”

I took a photo out of my pocket and threw it..

Charon looked at the photo and immediately burst into laughter..

“Kkkkkkkk! You… … How on earth did you do this??”

How did you do it? Of course.

“Hehe, it's a secret..”

Under normal circumstances, this would have been an action that would have resulted in a punch. But Charon was busy bursting into laughter.

The photo I gave to Charon.

It was a group photo taken with Lucia today before we parted ways..

Lucia's uniform cosplay(?) photo.

Now that Lucia, who is well over 30, is wearing the academy uniform, Charon is bound to fall out..

“If you threaten to spread that photo, Lucia will have no choice but to follow your orders..”

“Wasn’t Lucia your teacher? But he is recommending threats. He's such a cocky guy..”

“Of course it's not free. Because this is a deal.”

“Sigh, yes. It seems worth it. Okay, what you want?”

“This is to control the information that Lucia has recruited disciples..”

Information that I, Luna, and Leger have become Lucia's students..

This information is only known to Charon and a small group of rats at the moment, but it will soon leak out everywhere..

Lucia said that the alliance should be informed, but Luna and Leger may reveal it without their knowledge..

Those who are the first to hear information that comes out of nowhere.

‘rat.’

And the person commanding the rat was right in front of my eyes..

“Ugh, are you trying to buy me some time to grow? I guess you're scary too..”

“Isn’t it obvious? I'm an ordinary student.”

“Ordinary students do not threaten their teachers. Without taking advantage of the teacher's weaknesses,.”

“Hehe, is that so??”

Kong!

Charon grabbed my head. It was a very light honey chestnut..

“The deal was concluded. You are doing your duty as a student..”

Charon leaned half out of the window..

Has time passed? The moonlight began to shine through the window again..

“until i come back.”

And so Charon left. into the moonlight.
