Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 231
Episode 231
231fury. I have demonic blood, but I am not a demon.(1)
Late at night. Victoria's Dormitory.
“Hey, I guess I should go to bed now..”
“Go ahead. Stop reading fantasy novels.”
“oh! Even so, it's a great novel full of monarchy, right? Even Adonis will be surprised when he sees this! No, I will recommend it. For beginners as well……!”
“……I politely decline. I have no intention of becoming emperor..”
“Still, take it anyway. I'll hear the review tomorrow. Oh~ hohohohoho!”
rattle-.
Adonis sighed after leaving Victoria's room..
There was a book in his arms..
‘A book titled 'I, the thirteenth heir of the family, captured the Northern Grand Duke!?'.
‘It's a somewhat provocative title for young children..’
In the past, it would have been a title that would not have been surprising if it had been classified as seditious and immediately burned..
Is this really a generation gap??
Adonis looked at the title again and became lost in thought..
‘Although he is not the Grand Duke of the North... … There is a lion guarding the North.’
Lucid family.
It was a legendary family that had been defeated only once in hundreds of years..
The head of the Lucid family, who dominated the era with him, died about 20 years ago..
He was succeeded by the Marquis Luke..
‘Marquis Luke is great too, but... … The children are also from a great family..’
Led by Lucia, all four siblings were active here and there..
I first saw a child named Rodelin at Annwood Academy.…….
“A lion's cub is ultimately a lion, right?.”
The sight of dozens of children being subdued at once was truly a lion itself..
Adonis remembered that image and trembled without realizing it..
“I wrote a reflection... … Now I have to move on to the next thing..”
Adonis walked down the hallway.
It was a dormitory specially provided by Annwood Academy for the children of Seongguk..
It was a floor where women stayed, but it wasn't a problem..
“Oh my, you're leaving early today?”
“Are you working as an escort until late at night? Our Adonis is kind too.”
“Don't be upset if you lose. Just pay it back next time.”
“I want some candy?”
In fact, they even thought it was cute..
It was only natural that the children of Seongguk thought of Adonis as a ‘genius handsome boy’..
Adonis was lost in thought as he rolled the candy in his mouth..
‘Zero, what on earth is that kid??’
Although it had an ominous appearance, I could feel it sensuously..
That I have a devil inside me.
That wasn't the only strange thing..
During the last battle with Zero.
Adonis momentarily used the power of the 9 stars..
The idea was to make a hole in a place where life was not in danger and then see the reaction. however.
‘Never thought I'd stop that…….’
Currently, I am rotting inside..
9It means that the power of the castle was used, but the power was not used 100%..
but.
‘However, this is not an attack that a single academy student can block..’
Attacks that can be avoided are allowed, and attacks that cannot be avoided are blocked.?
This means only one thing.
‘Hiding your skills.’
Originally, I had planned to lose easily, but when an unexpectedly strong attack came, my body reacted on its own..
It was Adonis who clearly witnessed Zero's embarrassed expression when he blocked it..
‘I guess he was trying to escape suspicion by pretending to be moderately strong..’
No matter how much I thought about it, he wasn't an ordinary guy..
‘How can you leave a guy like that alone? Charon, what have you been doing all this time??’
I wanted to go see Charon and ask him right away..
but.
‘impossible.’
If a child, especially a child from a holy country, visits Charon, it is natural that it will attract attention..
I couldn't have done such an amateur thing..
‘Should I call the gutter rat and make Charon come find it himself??’
But that was also the case. It's like having your information leaked to a rat..
It's surprising that the rat knows how to contact people, but there is a child who can call Charon freely.?
There will be great confusion among the gutter rats..
‘The rats that survived Kalos left for other areas to deliver accurate information.…….’
Among the rats here now, there was no one who knew the identity of Adonis..
“……I can't help it. I have no choice but to solve it myself.”
Coincidentally, he threatened Zero to meet him at midnight... … No, I asked for a favor(?).
Late at night when it's just the two of us and we're not pressed for time.
It was enough time to clear my doubts..
‘You must be mistaken. It will happen.’
I tried to keep my mind as neutral as possible..
In fact, Adonis had already made up his mind..
If your doubts are cleared, nothing will happen..
But if the child named Zero cannot resolve his doubts,.
‘I guess I have no choice but to deal with it..’
Yes. I will organize it in my own way.
That child called Zero.
Even if it kills me.
* * *
11:30 PM.
The time nearing midnight.
snap-.
I put my pocket watch in my arms and wrapped myself in a cape..
Because I had to go see Adonis..
“Hehe, it’s chilly..”
As soon as I came out of the dormitory, I looked around..
No teacher, no rat, no stalker..
I jumped up and down and pretended to be popular, but no one showed up..
Only then did I feel a little relieved..
‘Because it means it's part of the story..’
‘The game ‘Heroes of the Academy’ has the option to be played twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon..
No action was possible at midnight or dawn..
Since it was morning when I woke up after going to bed, I wasn't even given the chance to choose..
Even if I tried to go out in the late afternoon, I couldn't. This is because the dormitory manager guards the entrance..
Of course, there were exceptions to this..
‘It's time for a special story to unfold like now..’
In this case, it becomes possible to be active even at night or early in the morning..
As soon as you leave the dormitory, the places you can go are displayed with a speech bubble and you can select them..
For example, with the main characters:.
‘Library ghost story, president tracking story, part-time job story, etc..’
I was able to enjoy several substories.
Anyway, even though I pretended to be popular, the dormitory manager did not show up.?
It meant that a side story was going on..
The side story between me and Adonis.
Dalianjang is located not far from the dormitory..
Even if you walk at a leisurely pace, it only takes 10 minutes. But I adjusted my cloak and quickened my steps..
Because I had work to do first..
‘Not only do you have to face Adonis one-on-one, but you also have to last for five minutes, so of course you have to prepare for it..’
9A holy knight, that is Adonis, the pinnacle of the nine stars..
To fight Adonis, 'confidence' was more important than anything else..
Yes. The first secret plan exclusively for Adonis, proudly…….
‘……You should be on your knees.’
kneel proudly.
Even the Adonis of the world would have no choice but to soften his heart..
I was soon able to arrive in front of the Dalian building..
This was the sparring hall where the exchange meeting was held today..
A place where there was no chaos like this.
I never thought I'd come to a place like that again.
‘It's spooky.’
It's called an academy, but in the world I was in, it was ultimately a school..
Stopping by the school building late at night felt extremely naughty..
Dark exterior, windows without any light, even tape put up to prevent entry..
I shifted my gaze to the wooden sign stuck behind the tape..
‘Under construction, no entry, especially first year students.!’
-The phrase was written: It was a rough handwriting full of Rodelin’s emotions..
‘Well, it would be nice if Adonis saw this and came back..’
It might be because he is such a good person..
As I entered the sparring hall, I was wandering around looking for a good position to kneel..
Where should I kneel for Adonis to smile??
“You didn't run away. I'll praise you.”
I shifted my gaze to where I heard the voice..
Golden eyes flashed in the darkness..
It was Adonis.
‘Well, I was going to get there first and kneel down..’
I failed from the first strategy..
It's okay though. Because I have the next secret plan.!
“Hehe, I can't believe someone precious is coming to such a squalid place... … I don't know what to do.”
Second secret: flattery.
Even the Adonis of the world would have no choice but to view it favorably..
“This is admirable flattery. Right! She has been deceiving her children with her wicked tongue!”
“yes?”
“I heard that there were no traces of brainwashing magic... … Wicked bastard! The devil gave me a tongue! Stick out your tongue right now!”
……No, then what should I do! You can't say, 'Hey, is Mr. Ah here?'!
But my body was honest. I stuck out my tongue and tried to prove my innocence..
‘Let's go boldly, go boldly.’
In fact, the first two secrets were very minor compared to the third..
The third secret, and a great 'proof' that Adonis has no choice but to judge me as an ally.’.
I realized after the exchange meeting that I had it..
‘Although it requires boldness and a little provocation,…….’
I decided that I could do it. That's why I came here.
As Adonis, who was glancing on tiptoe, approached me, a system window appeared before my eyes..
Meet and talk 1:1 with Adonis(1/1)
Prove that you are not the enemy(0/1)
5survive for a minute(5:00)
[4:59]
The first condition was met. At the same time time began to pass.
“……Indeed, the devil's mark is not visible..”
“Hehe, I didn't make a deal with the devil..”
“It sounds like you've done everything else.?”
“That's right. I was cursed.”
“It's the devil's curse... … There is a provision that says there will be no punishment if the person is forced to do so or if it does not harm the empire. the problem is.”
Adonis' golden eyes shone eerily..
“Is it a curse that does not harm the empire or not? That must be the problem.”
“That's ambiguous. In some ways, it may or may not be so..”
[3:53]
He walked around the sparring grounds and spoke as slowly as possible..
Time remaining, approximately 4 minutes.
“Your speech is very smooth. Do you know that the more you do this, the more suspicious I become??”
“Hehe, is that so? I'm just an ordinary student.”
“No one in this world will call you ordinary. An academy student who blocks the power of the 9 stars? Do you think it makes sense??”
“Hey, are you really saying that your level is 9 stars? Rather, don’t you think that makes more sense??”
[3:15]
I always feel this in my life, but time flies when you're having fun..
When times are hard, I don’t go crazy.
“That's not the only reason I doubt you. After being attacked by the devil, I started training. And it succeeded. I was able to feel the blood of the demons..”
……that's possible?
But in reality, demon blood was flowing through my body..
[This is because it has a skill called [Demon Blood S]..
“Everyone has a personal history that cannot be revealed to everyone..”
“I could die without revealing my personal history.?”
“Hehe, if you're curious about the other person's identity, wouldn't it be best to reveal your own identity first? Adonis County…….”
no.
“Douglas.”
“……!!”
visor!
The blade of Adonis was placed right next to my neck..
It was so fast I couldn't even see it moving..
[2:33]
“How did you know??”
“Hehe, even after all this, I am in a position to do business with Mr. Charon..”
“Do not lie. You, a student, are making a deal with Charon.!”
“Well, it can be easily resolved by checking with Teacher Charon. For reference, I also provided information about the Four Heavenly Kings..”
[1:57]
“……There's no way Charon would give me any information.?”
“you're right. I just heard that Mr. Douglas was included in the punitive force. Oh, don't get me wrong. I myself found out the information that Mr. Douglas might be alive..”
“…….”
“I guessed it to some extent during the exchange meeting, but I became certain because Adonis said a while ago that he used the 'power of the nine stars'..”
[1:22]
“You… … What is it??”
“as you see… … I'm an ordinary student?”
I flicked my hair and used the [Open Eyes] skill..
Shameless excuses, dark red hair that is ominous just to look at, and red eyes shining ominously between narrowed eyes..
It was natural for Adonis to take a fighting stance..
thud!
Adonis retrieved the spear and stuck it in the ground..
Then he took out an old sword from his pocket..
It was a broken sword with only about 3cm of the blade remaining..
“……Do you know the legend of the Holy Sword??”
“It's a legend?”
“Yes, the holy sword cannot be held by a villain. at the same time…….”
I'm falling in love-!!
White light burst out from the sword..
2The Great Holy Sword, Durandal, has revealed itself..
[0:48]
“There is also a legend that good people do not get cut..”
It's a holy sword that's the equivalent of a top secret..
The fact that you brought it up in front of me was the same as saying that you would see the end here..
furthermore.
‘A legend is just a legend…….’
Adonis knows better than anyone else that it is necessary to sharpen the blade before the holy sword..
But you're pointing it at me.
This probably means that they perceived me as a threat..
[0:25]
“……You're not surprised.?”
“Hehe, I was expecting it..”
“her!”
[0:18]
“……is it. So you decided that even I, holding the holy sword, could win? He wasn't an ordinary guy after all..”
“Hehe, I don't think so at all.?”
“Okay, that's it for the puns. Please prove it somewhere. That you can defeat me!”
[0:08]
Unbelievable. I still had to endure 8 more seconds to fulfill the quest conditions..
‘And Adonis' attack will take less than a second..’
but it's okay.
Because there is a third secret to completing the sixth quest..
Proving that I am an ally, 'evidence' that everyone has no choice but to admit’.
Now was the time to present the ‘evidence’..
He took out a sword from his pocket. An unsightly sword with only the handle remaining..
Hwareuk!
Five-colored flames rose along the sword and along my body..
“……!!”
kagak-!
The sword wielded by Adonis and my sword crossed..
2The Great Holy Sword Durandal and the 9th Holy Sword Artena.
It was the moment when the two holy swords collided..
