Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer - Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 134

134 – Holy Grail (2)

Tub!

“Hmm.”

For a brief moment, the Emperor stopped walking and let out a meaningful sigh. His gaze turns to the side.

There was a girl there holding his wrist.

“What are you thinking, Beatrice?”

He asked, and Beatrice raised her head.

This time, the time of hesitation was short. It was an extremely quick decision.

At this moment, her golden eyes looked more dazzling than ever before and faced the Emperor.

“I will save Flügel, Your Holiness.”

This refers to the initial purpose. The reason for trying to use the Holy Grail is revealed.

“Of course, there was a time when I tried to get rid of Flügel. I tried to destroy the magic sword according to the oracle. But in the end, it was because I concluded that dragons were evil based on the teachings of the church and the shallow experiences of my childhood.”

Next, I talked about the process. Why did it become like this? The question that the Pope is probably curious about right now is put into his mouth.

The corners of the Emperor’s eyes narrowed in a rare way.

Beatrice looked at him like that and declared with an unwavering voice and confident attitude.

“That was a wrong idea. Not only is it the nature of the dragon species, but even the Sky Dragon Selene’s runaway behavior was not of her own will.”

“…… You.”

“The teachings of the church are wrong. “I don’t know about other parts, but I can’t agree more with the part about treating dragons like monsters.”

Beatrice stopped her words at that point.

I know that further conversation is meaningless.

Whaaah!

In this way, she raised her divine power. Even though she is still very immature, she is a saint.

She didn’t know if she could at least buy time.

…… Yes, even if the opponent is the strongest user of divine power.

Wow!!

“…… !”

Beatrice trampled her ground, and at that moment a sacred barrier was created.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and quickly took a step back.

“…… Are you serious? “You want to fight against me with divine power?”

The Pope seemed quite embarrassed, and that was because Beatrice had never shown herself like this before.

‘Saint Beatrice’ in the church was a faithful child, even though she was young, who followed the Pope’s teachings well.

At least, that was the case in the Emperor’s memory. It’s probably not that big of a mistake in reality.

However.

“…… It may be difficult, but you have to try. “Flügel’s life is at stake.”

There was just a reason for Beatrice today.

Why you can’t give up easily.

It is nothing else but the life of a friend.

Do we need any other reason?

I thought it wouldn’t be Beatrice.

She gave rise to a lot of divine power, so she did.

‘If you consider the absolute amount of divine power, I have the upper hand. Even if you fall behind in proficiency, you can occupy the space based on her dominance ability.’

She intended to fight. I might get scolded later, but for now, I just wanted to do what I wanted and what I thought was the right thing to do.

The operation of divine power was amplified.

‘You can do it…’ … !’

And forms a barrier.

The purpose is to block movement.

It was best to hinder the Pope from heading to the sanctuary, and it was the best option.

Wooow!!!

A short moment passed, and the magic trick was finally completed.

Immediately after, Beatrice’s eyes sparkled.

“Okay.”

The Emperor nodded.

“………… His Holiness?”

Beatrice blinked her eyes. For a moment, the formation of the barrier stopped.

Of course, the Emperor did not blink an eye.

“First of all, I admit that the church’s rules and doctrines were narrow-minded. “I overlooked the fact that it could have a negative impact on you when you were still young.”

I’m just saying. Calmly.

“Of course I know that too. Just because a dragon is not necessarily an evil spirit. Statistically speaking, it is true that the dragon race has caused great damage to humanity, but even so, it is an aberration on an individual basis. “I don’t deny the doctrine, but I don’t actually actively believe in it either.”

“Eh, yes? Yes?”

“If you truly believed in that doctrine in the first place, I wouldn’t have sent you to the academy… …. Still, there must have been room for misunderstanding on those points. Let me take this opportunity to apologize. “I’m sorry, Beatrice.”

The Emperor’s words continued. There was no time for Beatrice to organize her thoughts and properly accept the meaning of those words.

But Beatrice could also vaguely understand.

‘…… ‘Is this really?’

The atmosphere was better than I expected. No, it was true that he tried to hit a being who was like a teacher or a parent with a sacred barrier.

…… The Pope acknowledged that the doctrine was wrong. I have apologized.

Then, maybe you really don’t know.

Isn’t this acknowledging the use of the Holy Grail?

These were words and actions that Beatrice could not help but harbor such expectations.

The Emperor’s attitude was so unexpected.

But.

“Separately, use of the Holy Grail will not be permitted.”

The Emperor was still stubborn, and as such, he just continued to spit out his words without any hesitation.

“…… Ah.”

Beatrice let out a short sigh. The situation did not change.

‘After all, it can’t be helped.’

The moment she thought that.

Taaak!

Once again, the Emperor’s finger snapped with divine power.

A clear noise rang in Beatrice’s ears.

“…… His Holiness? What.”

Beatrice was embarrassed, but at the same time her expression hardened.

Her eyes trembled as she looked at the Emperor.

“You probably noticed.”

And the Emperor did not betray her anxious guess. I really tell it like it is.

“Now I have adjusted the sanctuary’s security techniques again. “One more step from step 4.”

Beatrice could not help but be astonished.

From noble mtl dot com

It was a more extreme answer than expected.

“…… His Holiness!”

“You know this too, right? Stage 5 is ‘annihilation.’”

Beatrice shouted urgently, but the Pope paid no attention.

He kept a straight face from beginning to end.

It was the moment when Beatrice’s complexion turned white and she looked extremely gloomy and was about to turn her body.

“So, go and have a look.”

At the Pope’s sudden addition, Beatrice’s movements stopped.

She turned her head with a blank expression.

“As you said, today is a nice day. “While I was praying, I ended up falling asleep because I was taking a break.”

“Your Holiness…… ?”

“I didn’t see you today. I ended up drawing the magic trick wrong in my sleep. “The ‘saint’ did not visit the headquarters today, and there were just ‘two’ bugs that invaded the sanctuary.”

Beatrice, who was about to say something, reflexively closed her lips. Because she wasn’t her asshole either.

I could understand what the Pope was trying to say.

“…… “Your Holiness, but.”

Therefore, unlike just before, she was not able to take her foot off easily.

It was a little funny, but it had to be that way.

Of course, it goes without saying, but there was not a single change in the Emperor’s expression.

“…… It’s none of my business if I’m accidentally caught in a security spell and my whole body is torn to shreds. “I respect you, so don’t expect any more help from me today.”

Soon the Emperor turned around. He returns to his original position, kneels again, and assumes a posture of prayer.

It may be a rude thought, but Beatrice suddenly got the feeling that the Pope was like a grumpy old man.

“If you successfully steal the Holy Grail, that will also be your destiny.”

At that time, a thin wave of divine power flickered.

Then a shallow wind rose.

Huung-

“…… Ah.”

The wind gently swept Beatrice’s body and pushed her back, and it seemed like she knew to some extent what the Pope was trying to say.

She looked at the Emperor for a moment and then lowered her head helplessly.

“I never thought the day would come when you would express your opinion to me with such an earnest expression. I hope I can hear the reason sometime. Well, it can’t be helped if you die today.”

The Pope’s words continued, and a very complex and poignant feeling shook Beatrice’s heart for no reason.

It was a feeling that was not easy to describe.

“… ….”

Nevertheless, after a short silence, a decision was made.

She immediately turned her body hesitantly.

The Emperor did not look at her.

She also did not look at the Emperor.

“Just in case.”

However, the Emperor only spoke slowly, as if he was talking to himself.

“If you truly succeed in escaping the sanctuary, I will not hold you responsible for touching the Holy Grail. “If it were an ability to survive well in an area where 90% of divine power is controlled, it would be an ability.”

Beatrice opened the door.

As expected, without looking back.

Knock, boom… ….

The space was once again immersed in dark light. Only the sacred fire on the wall provided a dim light source.

“Tsk… ….”

In it, the Emperor clicked his tongue with a very vain expression.

And mutters.

“They say raising children is of no use.”

I was just talking to myself. Such self-talk that doesn’t have much meaning.
