Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 194
Chapter 194
194fury. Maestro Volkan of Battle(1)
“Let’s see… … The first gathering point is in the forest to the northwest.…….”
Kiel, the third son of the Viscount Jackfield family, left the inn..
It was because of the first summons to the punitive force..
whilick-.
I flipped over the paper with the meeting place written on it, but nothing changed..
Meeting place and time. That's all it says.
‘I never thought they wouldn't reveal any information…….’
Usually, when a mission is given, information about it is also delivered..
What is the mission, how many people are there, who is the commander, and where is the destination?.
However, in this mission, no such information was provided..
The only thing that was known was that it was a ‘subjugation’ mission. That's the only thing.
‘There is a good reason for keeping it a secret until the day of the summons.…….’
Seeing as they were gathering at the western end of the empire, it seemed certain that they were leaving the empire..
But this cannot be said to be information..
Missions that cross borders are more common than you might think..
‘Well, you'll find out when you go..’
The first summons to a punitive force full of doubts.
I wasn't afraid. Although he is a 7-star knight, he has not only completed one or two missions..
When he almost reached his destination, Kiel could feel the presence of people..
“Who are you??”
“It's a gutter rat. It's Kiel..”
A seal fell from the tree..
“Please present your name plate..”
Kiel took out the nameplate from his pocket and threw it..
It was a nameplate given to me when I accepted this mission, and it was a nameplate with the emperor's seal..
‘I expected it to be a big deal, but it was a mission that even involved rats... … I'm not feeling well.’
rat.
They are not dirty people as their name suggests. But they are people that I don't want to be associated with somewhere..
‘Because they even know the number of spoons in my family..’
It's not a metaphor, it really happened.
A document that was accidentally leaked into the noble world. The number of spoons and utensils in each mansion was written there..
I knew that gutters collect all kinds of information, but why are they counting spoons?.
The noble world did not understand and was filled with fear..
This is because the number of spoons in the person's home matches exactly with the number of spoons in the document..
“Your identity has been confirmed. You can go in there..”
“Have a hard time.”
Kiel knows full well that the rats are working for the empire..
It is also the duty of nobles to praise them..
Nod-.
The rat lowered its head and disappeared in an instant..
‘……Five people. No, is it more than that??’
This won't be the only entrance. So, this is a mission that involved at least a dozen street rats..
Kiel became more and more curious about the details of the mission..
“…….”
“…….”
Inside the forest, there were several guests who arrived before him..
A table that doesn't fit in the forest. Refreshments and food and drinks placed on it.
Kiel picked up a water bottle and glanced around to look around..
Red comet, blue reaper, white kite…….
‘Even Ottone, the hero of Latra? This is beyond my imagination…….’
What the people gathered here had in common was simple..
They're all guys living in the empire..
They were also people who had recently made a name for themselves..
‘Is it at least a 6-star knight level or higher? … It probably means that the people I don't even know are at that level or higher..’
western edge of the empire.
There was only one reason why such powerful people gathered in this corner of the village..
‘I guess it's to join the same punitive force as me..’
It's definitely full of great guys. But Kiehl was not intimidated..
It was because he was proud of his own abilities and that he was strong..
The fact that he was here supported that claim..
‘Let's make a name for ourselves. Everyone is below me!’
The red comet has long been blocked by the 7-star wall, the blue reaper lacks mana, and the white kite suffers from mysticism.!
Ottone, the hero of Ratra…….
There were no flaws. But he is no less than himself..
It was a time when I was internally criticizing other people..
“What is it, Kiehl’s? You too have decided to participate in this punitive force.?”
“……Edwin. It's been a while.”
“nice to meet! Why are they so quiet here... … I really felt like I was going crazy.”
‘I know. Kiehl was about to say, 'I feel like I'm going crazy looking at you,' but he shut her mouth..
Violetta's Black Shooter, Edwin.
Although his words and actions were somewhat fair, he had no choice but to acknowledge his skill with the bow..
The problem is that you talk too much and you can't understand the mood.?
‘It's hard to pretend to be friends just because we did a mission or two together.!’
He is also a noble, but if he hangs out with someone who doesn't look like a noble, his value will drop..
“Oh, look at that white bow. Is this Sasha, the white kite I only heard about? I want to compete once.”
“……I can hear everything.”
“What's wrong with what you hear? Saying you want to fight isn't a nuisance.?”
It's a nuisance! That's also a huge nuisance!
It was a time when Kiel was desperately trying to distance himself from Edwin..
“Wow! hey! Kiel! Look over there!”
“Who on earth are you making such a fuss about?……!”
But Kiel couldn't help but tremble..
Do something to yourself... … No, it's something that needs to be folded..
‘Lu, the eldest daughter of the Lucid family, Lucia!’
Dark blue hair that looks like stars in the night sky, a youthful appearance that makes it difficult to believe that she is in her thirties, and an appearance that can only be described as beautiful..
Kiel's heart started pounding..
A noble party held a few years ago.
I saw Lucia for the first time from afar, and that day.
Kiel fell in love without realizing it..
‘You have become more beautiful. If Lucia and I can get married…….’
Love is love, but not only will your family's status rise, but your own position will also rise significantly..
‘I have to say hello somehow…….’
It was a time when Kiel was so worried..
“Are you the commander of this mission? let's go say hello!”
“Well, don't be stupid, Edwin.!”
But Edwin was busy running towards Lucia..
Kiel followed Edwin while shouting ‘Nice!’ in his mind..
While making facial expressions as if there was nothing he could do about it..
“Lucia! hello!”
“huh? Okay, hi. what was your name?”
“This is Edwin. Was it about 3 years ago? I saw you once.”
“Ah, I guess so. I remember seeing the bow..”
Edwin casually greeting Lucia.
Kiehl did not miss the opportunity. He said, putting his hand on Edwin's shoulder..
“Edwin, it's rude to run and shout like that..”
“huh? is it?”
“Anyway, this guy like you... … . Lucia, I'm sorry. My friend was rude..”
“huh? Kiehl, you once said we could never be friends.…….”
“we are friends It's been like that from the beginning.”
“Kiel, you bastard.……!”
Even appealing to politeness, friendship with friends, and gentleness(?).
Although there was an unfortunate situation where Edwin was recognized as a friend, it would have been nice if he could form a relationship with Lucia..
“What is rudeness... … . it's okay. Who are you more than that?”
“This is Kiel, the third son of the Jackfield family. It's a shame, but in the world, he's called 'Kiel of the Sword'..”
“……Balgeom?”
“Yes, it's my main skill. I think it's comparable to the Leicester family's 'Ilsom'. ha ha ha!”
wiggle-.
Lucia's eyebrows twitched strangely..
‘Even this boldness of lightly crushing a traitorous family. Well, even Lucia can't help but be interested..’
What if you fall in love with yourself??
It was when Kiehl was so self-absorbed..
“try.”
“yes?”
“Try it.”
Kiel was momentarily taken aback, but then took a stance by placing his hand on the sword handle..
This was a great opportunity to showcase the skills I had independently honed in front of Lucia..
Kiehl's first original biggie.
One sword).
Kaga Gagak-!
Kugoong-!
Several trees fell, kicking up dust..
All that remained on Kiel's path with his sword was the base of a pure white tree..
“Hwiyu~ You’ve become stronger than then?”
Edwin wasn't the only one who was impressed. Everyone in this place was looking at Kiel with admiration..
“It's no big deal. It's still a long way away.”
“is it? In my eyes, it's just amazing. After all, Kiehl’s is amazing.?”
Kiel smiled to himself. Edwin this guy. Now that I see it, I see that the skill of giving praise is quite good..
That was when Kiehl was trying to control his facial expression as much as possible..
“Yeah, it was a long way away. I have to work hard.”
“yes?”
“too slow. more than anyone I know.”
Kiel's eyebrows fluttered..
It's not just slow, it's too slow?
I just couldn't admit it..
“Looks like you're dissatisfied. Then why don’t you try it with me?.”
“Lucia, I am a 7-star knight. No matter how strong Lucia is,…….”
“Pull it out. Stop talking nonsense.”
noise?
At this point, Kiehl couldn't stand it anymore..
He took a stance towards Lucia..
‘Yes, you just have to make them admit it. It makes me see you as a man.!’
Although it contains minor emotions, Kiel is a 7-star knight. There was no need for the sword to tremble due to emotion..
Kiel ran and drew his sword. but.
Tooung!
“What, what??”
“I didn't cut anything?”
“Didn't you pull out your sword just now? Are you scared??”
Amid people's various conversations, Kiehl broke into a cold sweat..
What they said was wrong. I did draw my sword. however…….
‘A half-drawn sword... … It's back to the sheath again.’
But that was all Kiel knew. Why did the sword come back? I didn't know why.
“I hit it and put it back..”
“yes?”
“I hit your sword with my fist and put it back in the holster..”
Only after a short silence did everyone realize.
Lucia struck the handle of the sword she was drawing with her fist, making it impossible to draw it..
‘Although the question ‘Is that possible?’ came to mind at the same time..
“The biggest weakness of Baldojutsu is its posture. Anyone can see that you are about to perform a foot massage, but who is waiting for it??”
“Well, then what should I do??”
“I need to pick it up quickly.”
“yes?”
“Even if the other person knows, you just have to pick it so quickly that they can't react. It's simple?”
……Is that simple??
But Kiehl had no choice but to bow his head..
“Joe, thanks for the advice. I will do my best.”
“okay. Well, I commend you for practicing your swordsmanship. You said it was the Jackfield family, right? I think there's quite a bit I can take from my family's swordsmanship..”
Kiel's feelings after receiving Lucia's guidance, even briefly, were strange..
It's good that I met Lucia, but I ended up showing poor skills..
However, I felt like I could improve my shortcomings in swordsmanship..
Instead, he failed to appear as a man. Isn’t this the relationship between teacher and student??
‘What kind of situation is this??’
It was a time when I could barely resist wanting to tear my hair out..
The surroundings became quiet. No, it went beyond being quiet and became static..
“hmm?”
It was only then that Kiel looked up and saw.
Eyes shining with evil, a face covered in scars, and a size that seems to be twice his size..
The face of Charon, the imperial rat.
“Ka, Karon? why are you here…….”
“Don't you know why people gathered here? I didn't think he was a guy who couldn't understand the situation..”
“Well, that's not what I meant.…….”
Kiehl's wasn't the only one in confusion..
Everyone here is in shock..
‘I have to go on a mission with that monster.?’
‘Then, the leader of this subjugation is Charon.?’
‘Three, oh my god!’
The ferocity of a man named Charon.
Adults knew better than students.
Not only the events on the battlefield, but also the events that happened behind the scenes..
It was because I knew the rumors and information about him well..
Even Edwin, who spoke so much, had a gray face..
“Oh, hello uncle? long time no see.”
Lucia was the only one who could approach Charon like that..
“……It must have been a while.”
“Are you saying winning a pun is more important than keeping a secret? Anyway, it's nasty..”
Lucia grunted..
Information that he stayed at Annwood Academy for a month.
Because there were so many eyes watching, it wasn't classified information, but it was still information about the location of Lucia, one of the empire's powerful forces..
‘But you're making it public?.’
There was no way Charon didn't know this..
In other words, what Charon did now is simply grumpiness..
It was natural for Lucia's mouth to pout..
“I've probably told you hundreds of times not to let others read your emotions..”
“I've said a thousand times that I only act like this in front of people I don't like..”
crunchy-!
A spark flew between Lucia and Charon..
People who saw that thought.
Maybe this subjugation war.
Maybe we should worry more about our allies than our opponents..
