Academy is frowned upon but not dark-Episode 196
Chapter 196
196fury. Maestro Volkan of Battle(3)
The journey begins again with the joining of Adonis.
Although the destination was not far away, Charon's mind was in confusion. It was because of the information given by Adonis..
The castle is much more corrupt than expected, the suspicious behavior of the newly crowned high priest, the construction of a temple that is close to a castle, etc..
There was a lot of information, but it wasn't that information that confused Charon..
‘The saint is fake…….’
He is the person with the greatest amount of divine power of all time..
Isabella, a saint who is revered as being as merciful as her beauty..
Its fame has long since spread beyond the castle and empire to the entire continent..
‘According to the information from the rat, it was said to be an incredible divine power and that he had seen a miracle before his eyes.…….’
That wasn't information that was overheard, but was information delivered by a rat who disguised himself as a high-ranking noble and met Isabella in person..
Since other people showed similar reactions, it was an undeniable fact that Isabella was the newly chosen saint and the most outstanding saint among all saints of all time..
‘But that Isabella is fake.?’
Charon had no choice but to fall into confusion..
Where on earth did the information get wrong??
No, did saints really exist in the first place??
If Seongguk was a being created to justify their actions,?
‘What if all the oracles said to have been given by the goddess so far were fake, and the powerful people of the Holy Kingdom gave oracles according to their taste??’
It means that the continent was being controlled by mere humans and people with dirty desires..
‘How many wars have been fought so far because of the ambiguous contents of the oracle?……!’
As soon as the thought reached that point, Charon felt nauseated..
“Charon.”
“……Yes, Adonis..”
“I know it's confusing, but let's focus on the task at hand first..”
As Adonis said. Now is not the time to be lost in thought..
Investigating Kalos and punishing the warlock were priorities..
“Yes, I understand.”
“Uh-huh, didn't I tell you to focus? I told you to be comfortable with me!”
Adonis had the appearance of a young boy..
If Charon used the honorific title towards him, everyone would think it was strange..
In order to prevent such unfortunate incidents, Adonis recommended that we be treated comfortably and use informal language..
“……i get it.”
“Well, that's not enough. So, what do you think of giving orders? Then I think it would be natural..”
“The vanguard looks dangerous. Please help me over there…….”
“……What kind of grammar is that? I think you need more help than the vanguard..”
I tried several times after that, but it wasn't easy..
When Adonis was ‘Douglas’, a hero of the empire.
Because I clearly remembered the majesty he showed..
“Aren't you making it too difficult? You just have to be comfortable with it..”
Lucia came closer and put her arm around Adonis' shoulder..
Shoulder to shoulder. Charon saw that and immediately lashed out..
“make yourself a little uncomfortable!”
“Hey, I have to do at least this much. The man's actions now are no different from saying, 'This kid is actually Douglas.'.”
“grunt…….”
Charon had nothing to say..
Smoke to hide Adonis' identity.
It was an undeniable fact that Lucia was doing much better than him..
“I don't think it's acting, but a sincere attitude towards children.…….”
“Hey, it's your mistake. I'm just acting great. Yes, Adonis?”
“Yeah, that's a great performance. No, I think it's been like this since we first met.?”
Hot!
Lucia thought. Maybe it's because he's over 80 years old, but he's very quick-witted..
Lucia hurriedly spoke up..
“But it's not too late?”
“What do you mean??”
“It seems like people back there already think it's suspicious..”
It was just as Lucia said. Everyone following behind was glancing in this direction from time to time..
Curiosity, doubt, caution, envy, jealousy.
With a gaze full of complicated feelings.
“……I made a mistake.”
Yes. It was Charon's mistake..
Adonis' youthful appearance makes him look younger than fifteen years old..
It's surprising that a kid like that just joined, and he's having a friendly conversation with the leadership.?
It was natural to feel suspicious..
‘I can't believe I made this mistake…….’
This is because the first information received from Adonis was so shocking..
It was a time when Charon was putting his brain to work to come up with a solution..
“Okay, leave it alone..”
“but…….”
“Guessing who I am is also a skill, so it doesn't matter. If a fight breaks out anyway, you'll have no choice but to show off your skills... … More than anything…….”
Adonis smiled as he checked every aspect of the punitive force..
“Aren’t these children who will soon lead the empire? There is no reason to keep it a secret.”
Yes. Although more than a dozen people are missing, they are called the ‘rising stars of the empire.’.
Soon he will be in charge of the backbone of the empire..
I gave them the information that Adonis is alive if it would help them, it won't have a negative impact..
“Being cursed may be a problem... … It won't matter because I'll be dead soon. My life will end before the trial is over..”
“That's right. What on earth did you come here for? Instead of watching the grandchildren play in the back room.”
“…….”
Taaak!
“Why are you hitting me?!”
“I hit him because he deserved it! Adonis, what kind of manner of speaking is that?!”
“They say take it easy, take it easy!”
“It’s so comfortable, isn’t it?!”
“Isn't that a valid reason? You get a fair beating too!”
“hate!”
Toda da da da da-!
Ride, ride, ride-!
Charon and Lucia, two beasts began to fight..
Adonis saw that and burst into laughter..
‘Charon… … I thought he was old, but he wasn't. I can still work for another dozen years.’
This is Charon, a little over sixty years old. By Adonis' standards, he is pale(?) young..
Adonis looked back with a satisfied smile..
‘You can reveal your identity, but... … It's not good to give too many hints. I need to keep some distance from Charon..’
Suddenly, Lucia's words to me to go home and watch my grandchildren's tricks came to mind..
‘Now that I think about it, I didn't even see my children's faces. I never thought I would receive orders as soon as I set foot on imperial soil.…….’
Children are children too, but it's been a while since I wanted to see my grandchildren's antics..
But it won't be possible until this mission is over..
“It's okay to say it's a replacement, but... … I guess I should watch the tricks of my juniors..”
It may not be able to match the cute grandchildren's antics, but it will be enough to make you feel nostalgic for the empire..
But Adonis was completely unaware..
Grandchildren showing cute tricks.
I'm already over 20, and I'm no longer old enough to joke around..
* * *
Dust cloud created by Charon and Lucia's clash.
The members of the punitive force that followed them were in serious trouble..
“Why are they fighting all of a sudden??”
“Isn’t it a battle for commander??”
“To challenge that Charon to a fight... … You're crazy..”
“Rather than that, shouldn't we first decide which side to stand on??”
“I'm Lucia.”
“me too.”
Usually, in times like this, there's a joke that goes, 'The one who wins is on my side.'.
But there was no sign of such words coming out at all..
That's because they were so afraid of Charon..
‘No, it's not just Charon that you have to fear. That kid needs to be on guard too.!’
That kid. It was referring to Adonis, a young boy with golden hair..
Of course, those who fear Adonis…….
‘monster! There's a monster living inside there!’
It was Viscount Jackfield's third son, Kiel..
“Edwin, did you find out who that kid was??”
“hmm… … I do not know. Judging from his golden hair and noble appearance, it seems clear that he is a nobleman... … Among the spear fighting families I know, there is no one like that..”
Broad but shallow relationship.
If Edwin, known as the water strider of the noble party, didn't know, it was safe to assume that everyone here didn't know either..
It was then. Adonis walked towards them..
“It's coming this way! Everyone be careful!”
“……Kiel, is that something to be so scared of??”
“You, you don't find that strange?”
“huh? Well, it's strange.”
He is suspiciously friendly with Charon and Lucia. but…….
“I'm just a kid?”
Astheon responded as if it was no big deal..
Kiel felt like screaming..
‘That guy, who was just a kid, almost cut off my head! I didn't even see the spear pulled out.!’
But I couldn't say that. Because she's admitting that she lost to the kid..
While Kiel was feeling so frustrated, Adonis arrived in front of them..
“Hello everyone.”
“huh?”
“Did you just say hello? Is there something wrong??”
People narrowed their eyebrows.
Because Adonis' tone of voice was that of an old man..
Kiehl thought he was arrogant and believed in his skills, while the others…….
‘ears, cute!’
……I thought Adonis was cute.
Children of aristocratic families tend to grow up relatively early because they are educated in the family, and sometimes there was a child like this..
‘A child who pretends to be an adult..
If you see a child acting like an adult from the perspective of real adults,?
It's natural to be at eye level and be cute..
Of course, the atmosphere also played a role..
A commander worse than the devil, following an arduous march, he heads to the battlefield where his life must be risked..
The cute(?) Adonis who appeared in this situation was like sweet rain in a drought to them..
People immediately bombarded Adonis with questions..
“What family are you from??”
“It's a secret.”
“What did you come here for??”
“……I'm here to help?”
“Wow! They said they were here to help! So cute.”
The women flocked to Adonis' side, and the men began a small meeting..
“Too young. But if you still called me... … Do you have a special talent??”
“There is a high probability that it will be an exploration type. Do you have great senses??”
“Maybe they're on guard duty. Because there could be an attack. Well, there's a good chance we'll be together until we enter Kalos..”
Kiel was shocked when he saw that..
Instead of being wary, you're making the wrong decision, and you're loving the monster by surrounding it.?
It was natural for Kiehl to yell..
“this person… … What are they doing now? Have we gone crazy as a group??”
“What is it, Kiehl? Why are you doing this all of a sudden??”
“That thing has a monster inside it. Everyone stay away. If you don't want to die.”
“…….”
From Kiel to Adonis, from Adonis to Kiel.
Everyone's gaze shifted back and forth a couple of times. and.
“hmm… … okay. Every man has a monster inside him. But he's still a kid, right? I guess it's still there too.”
“……Astheon, low quality.”
“I was just telling the truth. Look, even on my body…….”
“Wow! Adonis! Close your eyes!”
shaking-.
Kiehl's body trembled as he watched a skit unfold before his eyes..
“Oh my, is he jealous now??”
“They say male jealousy is ugly. That makes perfect sense.”
The women whispered together.
Kiel suddenly becomes an ugly man. Edwin tapped him on the shoulder..
“hmm… … You were mean to this. Are you jealous of your child? Well, I'm always on your side, don't worry, buddy..”
The day will come when I will be comforted by naughty Edwin.!
“Ugh, ugh.……!!”
Kiel started screaming..
Unfortunately or fortunately, people's attention was focused on Adonis..
“I want some candy?”
Silvia, Lucia's friend and classmate at the Academy, gave candy to Adonis..
Since the child was three years old, she carried sweets here and there..
“hmm… … I will receive it gratefully..”
Adonis did not refuse. because.
‘heated.’
The curse didn't just change his appearance. Even my tastes have changed..
I ended up having a child's taste buds..
For him, the temptation of candy was not something he could resist..
“Carrying candy... … He's such a great kid..”
“Ouch! cute.”
The women couldn't stand it any longer..
“Look at how soft my skin is.”
“Are your cheeks stretching out? The elasticity is amazing.”
“My hair doesn't seem to shine?”
“Where do you use Sanghoe products? If you tell this pretty sister, I'll give you a candy..”
Sigh! Squeak Squeak Squeak!
Every time Adonis spoke, the women went crazy..
Adonis came to see the juniors' antics, but ended up receiving a lot of cuteness..
