I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes - I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes chapter 64
No Coincidence
“Well, as long as you don’t get caught, there’s no problem.”
The man who said that, shook his head for a moment.
“No. Even if caught, if this experiment is successful, the Red Horse Tower… ”
It was he who shed a gloomy laugh.
If successful, even the Red Horse Tower won’t have to be afraid.
That’s why they did something that might seem reckless at first glance.
The people of the Empire have a prejudice against the black horse tower.
Maybe it’s because of the color of black that symbolizes them.
Or maybe it’s because of the gloomy appearance of them and their towers.
If not, maybe it’s because of the magic they study.
People secretly suspected that the wizards in the Black Magic Tower were doing something with their magic.
Of course, there was no basis for it, it was just a prejudice.
If you actually did that, you wouldn’t be left alone in the Empire.
Because the denomination, no other countries could not leave them alone.
However, it was true that the wizards of the Black Horse Tower were conducting research close to the apostles.
Some of them even crossed the borders set by the laws of the Empire and were doing the most dangerous things.
However, such dangerous people have been dealt with by themselves within the Black Magic Tower so far, so the Black Magic Tower can continue its legacy.
Is it good luck or unhappiness for the black magic tower that this generation has become the party?
Strengthening the body using magic.
This was the field that the black mage lord of this era was originally researching.
And while the mage lord was researching it, there was a fact that he learned.
The result the Mage Tower owner himself wanted.
It meant that it was closer to strengthening the body using magic rather than strengthening the body using magic.
The idea of strengthening the body using demonic energy was actually quite familiar to the people of the continent.
The story of those who wanted power being corrupted by demons was quite common.
The problem was twofold.
A way to use the power of demonic energy, but not to be contaminated by that demonic energy.
And, how to hide the fact that you use Magi.
It was a necessary task to hide the presence of Magi.
As soon as they were discovered that they were using magic, they would become a tribute to the entire continent.
At least until they had enough power, this fact could not be discovered.
And surprisingly, the way to hide the presence of Magi was easier than expected.
The research data accumulated by the Black Horse Tower was helpful here.
However, the problematic part was how to prevent the corruption caused by magic.
What the Black Horseman wants is strong and faithful subordinates who will become his strength.
Because he wasn’t a monster that was devoured by Magi and ran wildly, unable to tell the difference between them.
An adventurer who can manage mana as well as ordinary people.
He even experimented with wizards.
It was quite difficult to suppress the Magi.
However, the Black Horseman can also be called a first-generation genius.
I was able to find a way to give the mato.
What is needed for success is a life form in the middle that connects magic and humans.
The plan was to transplant the Magician, which had changed into a more human-friendly nature through that creature, to his subordinates.
Of course, it’s not stable even in that state, so I’m going to strengthen my arms or legs first.
Now, what was important was a test subject that would take on the role of that intermediate step.
Those who degenerate too quickly into demons could not assume the role.
Until they accepted the demonic energy and made it stable, they needed someone who could withstand the erosion of the demonic energy.
Strong adventurers or knights around the magic tower owner.
He even checked the wizards of the Black Mage Tower, but there were no suitable ones.
No, I thought there was none.
That is, until I checked Sally.
Among those many people, Sally was the only one who was suitable as a test subject.
The Black Mage Tower thought that even if at least one dispatched mage went missing, it would be enough to cover it.
Even if that wasn’t the case, there was no choice but to kidnap her.
However, the timing of Sally’s abduction by the Black Mage Tower side is slightly different from the original game.
To be precise, it’s slightly faster.
In the first place, Sally lived in the Black Mage Tower as a dispatched wizard.
For the sake of security, she went out and even checked her letters.
So, in the original game, the magic tower master kidnapped her only after the preparations for the experiment were all over.
But in this world, during vacation, Sally went on vacation to the Red Magic Tower to see Veronica.
Needless to say, this experiment was kept in complete secrecy.
Even when the experiment succeeded and mass-produced wizards who received physical enhancement, they had to be careful about revealing them.
I couldn’t talk about it before the experiment even started.
For that reason, the wizard who received Sally’s leave request granted it.
It was something he had to deal with in his own line in the first place.
After receiving the report, Ma Thapju was trembling with impatience for several days.
As soon as Sally returned to the Black Tower, she was kidnapped.
For reference, in the original game, Sally didn’t go back to the Red Horse Tower on vacation.
The reason she went to the Red Horse Tower this time was because Veronica seemed worried.
All correspondence with her is censored for security reasons, so I didn’t go into details of the personal details.
Nevertheless, it was clear enough that Veronica had a problem.
In the original story, Veronica liked Leo.
It was because Leo was a playable character.
In this world, a human named Leo was the person Veronica hated.
What Veronica liked was Louis.
However, there was a problem with the relationship with Louis, so Sally noticed the troubles that were not in the original.
And when Sally left for the Red Horse Tower, the Black Horse Tower was worried that he might miss the only test subject, Sally.
He kidnapped her at a much earlier point than the original.
I knew that Sally would send and receive letters regularly.
Therefore, the time to kidnap Sally to avoid any suspicion from outside was set right before the experiment.
Even if he was a little suspicious, he was a mate who decided that it was better than missing Sally.
And as a result, Veronica comes to visit.
At the same time, even the wizard that the Red Horseman had sent came.
“The movements of these guys are unsettling. Before the experiment… ”
“do not worry. Haven’t the specimens already been moved?”
“Yeah, I got a report that it had just arrived.”
The man nods his head.
No matter how much they doubted, there is no evidence.
Even if something impossible happens, such as going crazy and attacking the Black Mage Tower, the test subject is no longer here anyway.
It was after I had already moved to a sufficiently secret place.
“In the first place, the hidden laboratory in the dark forest… ”
smart.
The man’s words were interrupted by a knock.
When the speaker makes a slightly displeased expression, the other man moves quickly.
“I will check.”
So the man cautiously walked out the door.
A voice was heard from beyond the door, and soon a man entered again.
However, the man who entered was strangely frowning.
“What’s going on?”
To that question, the man said in a slightly perplexed voice.
A mage just outside told me what was reported.
“Hey, at Hellon Academy… They say they are taking the cadets to the Dark Forest for a hands-on evaluation.”
“what… ?”
he asks with an angry face.
“Practice evaluation? I’ve never heard of anything like that.”
“This time, the new academy will be implemented… ”
“Tsk. Why is it this time, and why is it called the Dark Forest!”
—
“While we are conducting a practice evaluation in the Dark Forest, we can find out in moderation.”
Chancellor, Louisa Falken muttered.
In this world, there are many coincidences, and there are indeed many crafty things.
But unlike what Louis knew.
In fact, there will be a new practical evaluation this year.
After all, that place is the Dark Forest.
It was no coincidence that there was a secret laboratory of the Black Magic Tower in that dark forest.
Professor John Hatton told the students that he had chosen the place for the practical evaluation.
It was the president’s intention that Professor John chose Dark Forest as the place for the practical evaluation in the first place.
The protagonist of the original game is Leo Epsilt.
Since the player controls Leo Epsilt, there is no way to know the other viewpoints other than to show them separately in the game.
One of the many scenes that didn’t come out like that was the preparation for Luisa Falken’s practice evaluation.
In-game, before she can move, Leo and the others discover the Black Mage Tower’s laboratory.
Of course, this is just a coincidence.
Anyway, because that’s what happened, nothing related to Louisa Falken appears in the game.
Now, the story has already turned quite a bit.
Will Louisa Falken not move again this time?
And it is still unclear whether the changed situation will be of any help to Louis and the others.
She picks up a document lying on the desk.
“… What a fun kid.”
The documents she picked up contained a photograph of Louis Wallenstein.
And on her desk, there was another old paper of the same type.
The document contained a photograph of Franz Wallenstein.
