Academy Slave Instructor - Academy Slave Instructor chapter 134
134 – You deserve to be happy
You deserve to be happy
Rye drives the Black Horse into the mountains.
Haksen, the target to be killed, is in town, but seeing him heading for a distant mountain, Philia thinks it strange, but she stops asking.
She thinks of Haksen’s face that lingers in her mind.
He was the one who laughed and talked with the restaurant owner and kindly taught the sword to the kid who was interrupting his meal.
Maybe it’s a fake. I just glanced at it, so I don’t know if there are any flaws.
But in that short amount of time, Haksen appeared to be a very good person.
If he was a tough guy who would rather brag and push people like regular mercenaries, he wouldn’t have any emotions.
She was said to be someone’s source of money, so she was a politically connected person, but she was a philia. She had seen many people through her family. Well know
They pursued different things and were divided according to what they prioritized, but the group of people gathered together was the same.
It is not particularly nice or right to be on one’s side, and not bad or wrong to be on the other side.
There are good people and bad people everywhere.
Count Tello, who is kind to everyone regardless of status and takes good care of the people of the territory, is on the side of the second prince.
Even though the 2nd prince, who is tired of the ideology of the chosen people, says that the empire should be ruled by the nobles by driving out the filthy commoners, Count Tello supports him.
Count Tello neither discriminates against commoners, nor does he underestimate them.
He believes that in order to maintain stability in an empire that has absorbed a lot of land in a short period of time, the power of the center must be strengthened.
I think that if I stray once, there will be a rebellion in each region, and I am worried that the empire will be divided into dozens.
I am on the side of the 2nd prince in order to concentrate my power in the center.
Count Tello doesn’t care if the center is full of commoners or nobles. The only thing he seeks is the stability of the empire.
Coming back to Haksen’s story, he was too good a man to lose his life in a political fight.
It was a snob like his father, the Infante, not a man like Haxen, who deserved to lose his life over such a trivial matter.
While Philia continues her worries, Black Horse climbs the mountain road without hesitation and climbs to the top of the mountain.
You can feel the greatness of nature when you look at the vast land that makes your heart flutter.
However, the village was obscured by a faintly visible hill, as it was a mountain far away from the village.
Rai got off his horse and patted Black Horse on the cheek, telling him to go and play.
The black horse, who seems to understand what people are saying, disappears excitedly through the bushes.
No matter how smart she was, she was a philia, worried about what she was going to do if she didn’t come back forever.
Rai looks toward the river plain and begins to draw her magic circle on her ground.
I have shown many times how to create a magic circle in an instant, but the level of magic this time is high. Lai walks around between the large magic circles, draws complicated spells, and places the enchanted runes and magic stones in the right places.
After watching with her interest, Philia, unable to comprehend halfway through, sits on a stone near her and watches Rai draw her magic circle.
“What magic?”
“Ultra-long-range sniper magic.”
“I’ve never heard of such magic.”
“Yes. It’s a magic you won’t see in your life because wizards have a lot of detection magic installed around them on the battlefield, and it’s impossible to target a major figure like a commander because the power is f*cking weak.”
As Rai explained, he looked at the distant plain and changed the runestone of the magic circle.
“It’s a magic that focuses on range and stealth rather than power. Still, I can’t believe you’re shooting from that distance.”
Seeing his gaze and noticing her target, Philia also looks at the plains.
Perhaps that plain is on Haxen’s route today.
“You’ll believe it when you see it later. The formula is filthy complicated, and it takes a long time to calculate and prepare, but it’s garbage magic that is useless except for its range. You don’t have to be interested in it.”
He curses the magic he makes, and Lai puts the runestone back to its original place.
Seeing that even he, who has excellent magic skills, struggles to calculate her distance and improve her accuracy, Filia smiles lightly.
“But that’s not what you want to ask.”
Rai said quietly without looking back at Philia behind her.
Philia looks at his defenseless back and she hesitates before opening her mouth.
“Is Haxen a man worth killing?”
“Well, I don’t know. Some will benefit, some will lose. Some will love it, some will feel sad.”
“The villagers must be sad.”
“That’s right. How many people in the world can you kill without hesitation? If you care about that, you won’t be able to do anything. Would the Imperial Army who died at my hands die because it was okay?”
Rai looks back at her and laughs with provocative eyes.
But she doesn’t react to Philia and she meets his eyes.
“If this fails, what will happen to the instructor…?”
“I don’t even know that. I don’t think my gracious master will punish me, and I never killed anyone when signing a contract. I was told to only work as an instructor.”
“Then why did you accept the assassination order?”
“Hmm… If you use force, you have no choice but to do it, and… You’re a slave. No matter how free you look, a slave has to lick his master’s feet.”
Her philia face hardens as she giggles and tells her self-deprecating jokes.
His joke is so sad that her hand on her lap strains.
“If Haksen doesn’t die, will the headmaster be in trouble?”
“Hmm… I don’t know. All I’ve heard is kill Haxen. It’s an object that can be easily dealt with without having to use my hands.
She answers all questions saying she doesn’t know, so Rai completes her magic circle and wakes up.
“All we have to do now is wait. There are no wizards, and if you are a mercenary with poor skills, you will catch enough.”
Rai still did not show her face to Philia.
As she looked at his lonely back as she fixed her gaze on the plain, Philia also stood up from her seat.
“Then may I ask you something you know?”
“You’ve asked me a lot so far. Why are you being polite all of a sudden? But I really don’t know.”
Filia asked with a calm expression.
“You want to assassinate?”
From noble mtl dot com
“……”
Rai is silent at her question.
As Philia waits with her patience, Rai, who had been silent for a long time as if she would not answer, spoke.
“What kind of guy wants to assassinate? That kind of guy is just a murderer.”
“I see. I understand.”
“Why do you draw a sword when you say you understand?”
Rai, who did not show her face, looked back at her with a smile.
Filia slowly drew her sword and increased her mana.
“To stop you.”
“Did you like Haksen that much? Shouldn’t good people die?”
“No.”
Even when Rai laughs, Philia doesn’t change her expression and speaks firmly.
“I don’t care if Haksen dies or not. I’m going to stop you from doing anything you don’t want to do. Tell the headmaster that I couldn’t help it because I stopped him.”
“That’s a pretty far-fetched claim.”
“Yes, forcibly. This forcible force may make your situation worse, or it may cause problems in the academy. You can think of it as an inexperienced kid. I will stop you. You are a great commander. Insignificant. I’m not an assassin.”
Facing Philia’s serious eyes, Rai shakes her head and smiles.
“A stupid commander who lost his country. And there’s already a lot of blood on my hands.”
“Yes, blood was shed to protect the country, to protect the people! No blood was shed for dirty power games!”
Blue-green thunderbolts emanate from Philia’s body.
Green-blue lizard’s secret. The mad brain was manifested.
Although she thought that her Selma would praise her and her hard work would bring her achievements, Rai, who did not know that her secrets would unfold, sees her philia with her curious eyes.
But she didn’t have time to observe.
As if creating her alter ego, long afterimages follow Philia’s movements and rushes at Rai.
Casting a protective spell on the magic circle, Lai steps aside to her side, and Philia draws closer, leaving afterimages like a snake’s tail.
Rai presses her fist into the palm of her hand and pulls out a sword that glows blue to block Philia’s swing.
The two faced each other with swords in between.
“You deserve to be happy now. You’ve been working hard.”
Rai’s eyes fluttered briefly at Philia’s words, but she soon smiled mischievously.
“You must have strength to achieve your will. A cry without strength is just noise.”
“I will stop you. I will stop you and make you happy.”
Even as her blood drips from her mouth due to her excessive use of mana, Philia looks straight at her lie with her intense eyes.
Her lie pushes her away with her strength and trips her leg.
Before she can straighten her stance, her blue sword lands on her head and Filia barely avoids it by rolling on her floor.
Dirty in her dust, Filia rose from her spring and threw her dagger at Rai and lunged at her.
– Swoop
Rai’s sword makes a ghastly sound as if she had cut off her wind, cutting down her dagger itself and trying to cut her Philia as well.
She must have cut her dagger, but when the same sword slashed again, Philia, who hadn’t expected it, barely avoided it by bending her waist as if falling behind her.
Rai strikes her fist with Philia’s stomach, which is almost in line with the ground as she bends down to her knees.
“Keep, cool-!”
She twisted her body to avoid being hit properly, but Philia vomited up gastric juices and blood from her stomach due to her powerful shock.
Whilst foul vomit came out of her mouth, Filia, who swung her sword to stop her Rai from approaching, frowned and took a deep breath and ran forward with her sword.
The blue sword bounced off the shiny sword reflecting sunlight, but Philia didn’t stop and swung it with all her might.
Their countless sword strikes created a barrier, and Rai, who squeezed in between her, struck her Philia’s face with her fist.
Grabbing her face, she powerlessly backed away. Filia sat down on one knee and ran again, sifting the blood flowing from her mouth.
During her sparring, she was a Rai who could not win even if she passed with others.
Philia did not expect her victory in the first place.
She forcibly moves her arm, which is getting heavier, just with the thought that somehow she must stop him.
Whenever she shows her gap, her fists or feet come in without a doubt.
Even if her stomach is hit and she falls to her knees, even if her feet are stubbed and she falls down ferociously, Philia continues to get up like her cricket.
The cheap iron sword she bought to conceal her identity has already been broken, and her top is stained red from the blood she vomited from her mouth.
Philia seems to be having a hard time even standing. She tries to stand upright somehow while stretching her legs with her fists.
It’s cloudy eyes that tell you that it’s not normal, but I don’t miss her lie until the end.
Her mad brain has already been unlocked before, but she makes meaningless gestures that dazzle her eyes as if she is not aware of her.
With no afterimage like an alter ego, her gestures are lax and look pitiful.
“Why go that far?”
“Even if you… Become happy, huh… Do it, do it… Do the things you don’t want to do… Now, you don’t have to… Do it, uh. Do it, don’t… Ha ha ha. ..”
Philia, who couldn’t even speak properly because of her breathing, struggled to reach Rai, who stared at her coldly.
Having lost the function of her weapon, Philia, holding her iron sword high in the sky, swings her sword as if to fall.
The sword, powerless, landed on Rai’s shoulder, but it couldn’t pierce even her thin leather armor, and Philia powerlessly buried her face in Rai’s chest.
She pushes his chest with her hands and tries to get back up, but she has no strength and keeps falling over to Rai.
Looking down at Philia, who moves like she’s drunk, Rai turns her head to see her plains.
A mercenary group that looks like a dot in the distance is passing through the plains.
“……”
Rai, who had been watching her, smiled at her and then hugged and supported Philia’s waist as she was about to collapse.
“You win. Hansen misses the target. Troublesome. Failed.”
Filia did not respond to Rai’s words.
As soon as she hears his words, the stunned Philia hangs limp and she entrusts her body to Rai.
The face was dirty with blood, filth, dust, and sweat, but the smile through it seemed happy.
