Academy is frowned upon but not dark-Episode 246
Chapter 246
246fury. Invasion of Carpathia(2)
Ride, ride, ride-!
window in the hallway.
There continued to be scenes of instructors and teachers moving around busily..
“that… … It’s a gutter rat, right??”
“Well, I think so.?”
They weren't the only ones rushing around. There were also occasional gutters mixed in..
Gutter rats, which must operate in the dark, run around with their faces exposed.?
It was evidence that a major accident had occurred. There is no time to hide, there is a big accident happening at a moment's notice..
At this point, the children also realized that the situation was unusual..
“What's going on??”
“Did the devil attack me like last time??”
“Well, a war broke out?”
When the word war came out, the children's faces turned white..
“Te, Teron, is that true??”
One of the children belonging to the Teron faction asked Teron..
It wasn't anything particularly strange. Although he is also the leader of Teronpa,.
‘Teron has an information network as good as that of a rat..’
Although it is limited to the noble world, in this case, it exerts greater power than a street rat..
The first place to obtain information when war breaks out. That's because it's a noble family..
However, if there is one problem.
“……I don't know either.”
The point was that Teron didn't have much information either..
‘Erosion must have started last night... … It would have been impossible to convey the information to Teron..’
And this was the same for other children as well..
“Yuridia, I guess the same goes for you.?”
“……yes. I didn't get that information either..”
The two leaders don't have any information..
The children, who were in confusion, each began to say something..
“Well, war really broke out.!?”
“Moreover, if there is intentional control of information on our part,…….”
“Ha, student soldier? Are you planning on conscripting us? Like during the war with the Kingdom of Doron!”
In essence, confusion spreads quickly and eats away at emotions..
The classroom was instantly filled with chaos. Because they were still young children, the speed was even faster..
It was the exact moment when several children, filled with fear, tried to escape..
“Everyone stay calm. It won't be war.”
The main character with a voice full of confidence.
It was none other than Teron..
Everyone's eyes naturally turned towards Teron..
“How can you be sure of that??”
“This is because war on the continent has temporarily stopped since the warlocks started rampaging. What is the point of calling it a promise? … Yes, morality. This word would be appropriate.”
The Empire also suffers from warlocks, and the situation of weaker kingdoms and principalities cannot be better..
Just defending the home country is too much, so there's no way we can force ourselves to start a war..
Teron was pointing out that point. Yuridia nodded and responded..
“Even if you start a war, it's a problem. There's no way I could take that risk, as I would be isolated and subject to enormous criticism from other countries..”
“Just in case, they will target a weak country. Attacking us, the most powerful? This is ridiculous..”
“Then what is the reason??”
“A warlock or demon must have appeared nearby. It may be that they are trying to recruit people to prepare for or provide support..”
“surely… … I think that's very likely..”
Only then did the chaos in the classroom subside..
The classroom regained its previous atmosphere as the children started talking little by little..
“but… … That's strange. The empire wouldn't be so lax in its defenses that it would be swayed by warlocks..”
“Isn't it the work of those guys who appeared recently??”
“Ah, are you talking about those idiots who call themselves the Four Heavenly Kings? Well, that could be it..”
While eavesdropping on the conversation, I was able to notice that there was a difference from the existing story..
‘It's a conversation that never happened in the game..’
Originally, the word ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ was a word that was used only after a long period of time..
That word is used starting from Chapter 2. It was an important check.
It was a time when I was organizing related information in a corner of my head..
“It's quieter than expected. Great attitude..”
Before I knew it, Charon was sitting at the teacher's table. Her appearance was still a mess, but it was better than before..
The children who realized that fact let out a sigh of relief..
But they won't know. Right now, Charon is trying to act calm..
‘So that children don't get confused. It's a big deal, but I'm pretending it's not a big deal..’
It was Charon-like behavior..
After confirming that all the children were present, Charon tapped on the blackboard to attract attention..
“Since I don't have time, I will explain briefly. Yesterday evening, erosion began in the Carpathians. We're providing support, and you'll be on guard duty..”
Dispatch, Encroachment, and Vigilance Missions.
There was less confusion because it wasn't much different from what Teron expected..
“It's called erosion in the heart of the empire.?”
“Early response to erosion is important. What were the defense forces doing??”
“Aren’t they all dead? It smells like something dangerous.……?”
While the children were chatting, one child raised his hand..
“Did war break out??”
“no. It's too grandiose to call it that. Territory battle? At best, it'll be like that..”
Well, since you are protecting the territory, you can call it territory warfare..
The problem is because the other person is the devil..
“I know what you guys are worried about. It must be scary and embarrassing because it is a sudden real battle..”
However, it is the duty of Annwood Academy students to serve their country..
Those who abandon that duty are not entitled to enjoy the rights guaranteed by the empire..
More than anything.
“Please make sure to participate, even if it means thinking about the people of the empire who are suffering..”
Charon's speech was certainly moving..
“I… … I’m not feeling well. Is it okay to go out??”
However, it was not possible to persuade all children with emotion alone..
There were a lot of kids in the advanced classes who just earned a diploma and wanted to get a job in a good place..
Charon responded with a grin..
“Of course.”
“Then I will be hospitalized…….”
“However, your midterm score will be 0. Why does it hurt at times like this? It's such a pity.”
“yes? what is that……?”
“Although Carpathia is close, it is still two days away. There's no way I can properly prepare for the midterm exam in a week with just four days to go..”
Some children had blank expressions.
On the other hand, children who were quick-witted had their eyes shining. Because Charon guessed what to say next..
“So, I plan to grade them according to their performance in this dispatch. This was decided at the faculty meeting held a while ago, so it cannot be reneged..”
“…….”
“Since it is a test, I hope you will participate. Well, if you have a fatal disease, there's nothing you can do..”
Demanding devotion to the country and selling out the people of the empire are not enough, even holding mid-term exam grades hostage..
What Charon was doing now was no different from that of a violent criminal. No, is he a politician??
hmm… … Well, since they both mean the same thing, it might not really matter..
“Uh, when do we leave??”
“It's not urgent, so I'll give it plenty of time. Let’s see… … I can give you about 30 minutes..”
“……?”
“Let's all pack up briefly and then gather at the parade ground. more!”
It's not urgent! It's really urgent.!
But this was also Charon's strategy. The goal is not to give children time to think or get lost in their thoughts..
“Zero! See you later!”
“All right, carrots! Rain, you need to pack emergency food.!”
Uddangtangtang-!
The children, including Luna and Leger, left the classroom in an instant..
Um, Rezey..
Bring something delicious other than carrots…….
* * *
I stopped by the dormitory and briefly packed my bags..
Actually, it was a bit absurd to say that I was packing my luggage..
[Because I just recklessly shoved it into [sub-space].
‘It's a really useful skill..’
After stuffing all kinds of things into my body, I left the dormitory..
The next destination was not the parade ground, but a restaurant..
“Faster! move faster!”
The cooks were constantly moving and delivering food..
It was a steaming, glossy rice ball..
‘It's like a game.’
30Time limit of minutes. Each minute of remaining time is treated as one turn..
It is a mini-game where you can get five consumable items called ‘Annwood Academy Special Rice Balls’ in one turn..
A special rice ball that restores as much as 1,000 HP and is as effective as a mid-level potion.!
You won't have to worry about the taste. And above all.
‘All of this is free!’
In summary, it will be an exciting mini-game with nothing to lose..
It was a time when rice balls were swept into subspace like that..
The kitchen lady who was serving a plate of rice balls pushed me away..
this! It looks like they caught me sneaking six rice balls..
Madam, it's a misunderstanding. I was just trying to take 5 servings that looked like 6 servings.!
I realized this while I was giving the lady a kind look..
To me, who has narrow eyes, there is no such thing as a look..
“Tsk tsk, the thief said his feet were numb... … That's exactly what it is.”
Surprisingly, a male voice came out of the kitchen lady's mouth..
Yes. This person was no ordinary kitchen lady..
The person in charge of the Annwood Academy Plaza branch and the person who acts as a double agent between Charon and me..
It was Scarlett, the worst rat among the worst..
“Hehe, it looks like it suits you well. How about changing your career to a chef??”
“Don't decline. Because I'm not a good person to work in the kitchen..”
“I don't think you can do anything about it. You were excluded from this mission, right??”
Puuk!
Have we hit the nail on the head? Scarlett flopped down..
“okay… … I was excluded! Damn Karon, he ignored me again.!”
“Hehe, it looks like you're doing a great job..”
“Aaaah! Are you saying that too? Don't talk nonsense! How is this a mission?!”
It was obvious what happened without even looking at it..
-I… … Charon? Sorry for being busy, but I also want to receive a mission..
-mission?
-yes! I am confident in anything! Even if you ask me to fight thousands of demons, I will do it.!
- Thousands... … There is a mission that is just right for you. It's a huge mission where you have to fight and win against thousands with your bare hands. What should I do with this… … It's a mission that can't be entrusted to just anyone.…….
-Oh, just leave it to me! I will do it perfectly!
And this is the result.
Fighting thousands of rice balls... … No, I was given the task of making it..
“Hehe, it looks like you were pleasantly fooled. Because you're so stupid... … It might be better to leave the transaction as if it never happened..”
“this person! Do you know how difficult it is to talk to Charon? My skin is shaking! you wouldn't know!”
Is that really so??
When I raised my eyebrows, Scarlett clicked her tongue and said, ‘Tsk!’.
He seemed to remember that I had established a business relationship with Charon..
“shit…….”
Did he not like being pushed by a younger guy?.
Scarlett scratched her head nervously..
I thought this would be enough to organize the rankings..
“Well, there is one mission that even such an idiot can do..”
“mission?”
I took out a map from my pocket and handed it to Scarlett..
Scarlett muttered as she looked at the map and the symbol I marked on it..
“It's close. A week will be enough. Most of the seniors also left for Carpathia... … Surveillance is also lax..”
Is it because I was given a worthy mission?.
Scarlett's eyes lit up. Eyes full of passion.
“Is it a mystery this time too? Is there anything I need to know in advance like last time??”
“Hehe, here's a simple devil's puzzle. I've written the solution here, so if you follow it, there won't be any problem..”
Hexagons, Pentagrams, and Circles.
A shape puzzle that fills the inside by inserting broken puzzle pieces without rules into an empty white shape..
This puzzle is on the difficult side, but since I gave you the answer, you will be able to pass it without much difficulty..
“If you solve the puzzle, something with mysterious powers will appear inside each shape. Among them, you can bring the items in the circle..”
“Wait, so there are three mysteries? Can I have anything else??”
Of course, it's okay to take it. Except the body is separated into geometric shapes..
“Hehe, that’s amazing..”
“what?”
“A person who will die soon is talking to me... … Isn’t it natural to be curious?.”
“…….”
Scarlett's eyes became bitter and cold..
