I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes - I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes chapter 78
Leo and Elin’s Promise
The assistant first looked at Leo’s chest.
After confirming that there is no necklace.
The assistant carefully takes out a sack.
Seeing that, Leo’s smile grew even stronger.
Leo reaches out his hand to ask for the sack.
The assistant did not hand over the sack to Leo.
Instead, as Leo’s smile gradually disappeared, he opened his mouth.
“I, Leo Epsilt cadet.”
It was dark so I didn’t notice.
The assistant’s face was full of hesitation and fear.
If this incident is caught, it will not end with a simple disciplinary action.
Leo Epsilt had the backbone of the Duke of Epsilt, but his assistant didn’t have that.
“what?”
“Be careful not to get any pictures of you using this on your necklace. And before the practical evaluation is over, the remaining things are definitely hidden in the Dark Forest… ”
“Okay, give it to me quickly.”
Leo took it almost as if he had stolen the sack from the assistant.
The first thing Leo checked was the seal on the hilt.
The cord tying the snout of the sack and the wax seal covering it remained the same.
Although he did not express it, Leo was relieved inwardly.
Even though the guy in front of me was so rotten that he took a bribe and took part in cheating.
I don’t know what I would have done if I had checked the contents of the sack.
In fact, the assistant was expecting that the sack might contain just emergency food or a spare weapon.
For Leo Epsylt’s proposal, there was also a condition that he would never look inside the sack.
Of course, there were a few methods that could be tried, but if they were caught, all the promised money would be gone.
And even though the assistant didn’t know.
Leo, who was overflowing with money, even applied magic to the sack, making it impossible to check the inside with magic.
Anyway, Leo, who felt better, moderately reassured the assistant in front.
“Don’t worry. All the food will be eaten anyway, and the compass will come out after burying it in the forest.”
It was Leo who pretended that the contents of the sack were food and a compass.
Nonetheless, the teaching assistant was nervous.
Professor Ian Dexter was a full professor at the academy, so even if he helped Leo’s infidelity, he was able to cover it up enough.
Since he is only a teaching assistant, it’s all over if he gets caught.
“The balance will be passed as soon as the practice evaluation is over.”
However, it was an assistant who calmed his heart at Leo’s words.
The money Leo promised was enough to stake his career so far.
After the delivery, the assistant disappeared into the darkness again.
After confirming that he had disappeared, Leo grabbed the sack and returned to the party members.
The party members were still soundly asleep.
Leo sat down, leaning against a tree, and carefully opened the sack.
What came out of it was another small sack.
One parchment.
Finally, there was one mechanism with mana stones in the middle.
All seemed far from the emergency food or compass that Leo was talking about.
Leo first checked the parchment.
On the parchment was a map of the Darkwoods where they now reside.
However, the peculiar thing is that there were many points on the map.
Some of them were still in motion.
Next to the dot were names that were familiar to Leo as well.

Just before the practical evaluation began, the instructor explained about the necklaces worn by the cadets.
It is an artifact that can be tracked for the safety of the cadets.
It was obviously the first necklace he received, but Leo knew it.
In fact, it probably wasn’t just Leo.
Aside from Leo, some noble cadets used their personal connections and family power in the academy to hear the details of the practical evaluation in advance.
However, the difference between them and Leo was that Leo was able to secretly obtain artifacts used for practical evaluation.
Leo’s family had enough power.
The parchment he is now holding is a map artifact that shows the location of each cadet’s necklace.
It is something that professors, instructors, and teaching assistants who are in charge of practical evaluation have.
Although Leo was a cadet, he was able to obtain it before the practical evaluation even started.
Leo is his location on the map.
And the location of Louis Wallenstein was confirmed.
“Keuk! Kukkeuk!”
Leo bursts into laughter.
Whether God was helping him or not, the two of them were quite close.
Even, they were at the southern edge of the current practice test site.
‘If it’s in this location, you can expect a fairly dangerous beast to come out.’
He sees the dots next to the dots with Louis’ name on them.
I looked at the name of Veronica Eltwin and Felice Ansberg for a moment with mixed eyes.
‘It’s a pity that these two years die… ‘
In the case of Felice Ansberg, if he begged him, he was planning to accept it reluctantly.
Veronica Eltwin even considered one of his wives.
In Veronica’s case, her status, her appearance, and everything she had was a woman befitting her wife.
Felice was a perfect fit for her toy, even her appearance and her fallen status.
So it was very sad.
It was Leo who realized that the only way to deal with Louie naturally was to kill them all.
And, because the two of them abandoned themselves and went to Louie.
Because he was Leo who felt jealous of Louis and betrayed by them, he was able to make up his mind.
‘Well, kill them all.’
And again, because I have a saintess and Elin.
Even the location was perfect.
He decided to carry out the operation tonight.
For a while, Leo pondered over Elin, who had decided to entrust the execution of the work.
Still, the doubt Louis planted in Leo was not erased.
Suspicion had been diluted by Elin’s subservient, even submissive attitude toward Leo.
In addition, they must have set up a vigil.
There was no one more suitable than Elin to entrust this task.
So, in fact, Leo had no other choice.
He gets caught by Louie during Elin’s mission, and she doesn’t know about it.
I decided to think that Louis had an affair.
Leo carefully woke Elin.
“Uh… ? what… ”
“Shh.”
Leo wretchedly raised Elin.

Just drag her and head to the bushes.
Elin had all kinds of thoughts in that brief moment.
And among them, there were some that were terrifying to even imagine.
Will he really have to endure such a thing for the elves?
While Elin was thinking about this in a desperate mood.
With Elin finally stopped, Leo headed behind her.
“Hee!”
When Leo’s hand touched Elin’s neck, Elin moaned.
I felt goosebumps all over my body, starting from the back of my neck, and I couldn’t stand it.
But are you lucky?
What Elin was worried about didn’t happen.
What Leo did was take off her necklace and hang it on a branch.
Moving back a little further away, Leo said to Elin.
“Elyn Nidia, you know how troubled I was with your last failure.”
It was Leo who naturally blamed Elin for losing the duel.
Elin had no choice but to nod her head.
“I have work to do. If you succeed, I will forget about the last time.”
Leo takes out a map, a mechanism, and a small sack.
Leo’s instructions were simple.
Sprinkle the powder in a small sack to Louis and his party.
After pressing the button on the mechanism, he was told to come back.
In the meantime, be careful not to get the powder on your body.
“By the way, what is this… ”
Elin, of course, expresses her doubts.
Because it won anyone who sees it.
“I don’t know.”
Still, Elin hesitates.
Leo, annoyed, lied around.
“Tsuk, a potion of pain was made in powder form. Where are you going to struggle throughout the practice evaluation?”
“Then, this is… ”
Leo sighs and says to Elin who asks about the identity of the mechanism.
“ha… Listen up, elf. If I succeed in this, I will marry you. Isn’t that what you want anyway?”
It was a supreme insult to Elin.
Apart from that, this was an opportunity.
Elin asked with a serious expression.
“If I succeed in this, can you grant me one wish of anything? Of course, it will never be an unreasonable request.”
Leo simply nodded.
“Can you swear by the World Tree?”
The oaths made by the elves to the World Tree are binding.
Of course, humans don’t have that.
It meant that Elin was that serious.
Leo nodded lightly this time.
Elin felt like letting out a sigh, but for now, she had no choice but to trust Leo.
Either way, she was in a position where she had to win Leo’s favor.
After receiving the things Leo gave me.
Elin looked at the map and headed to where Louis and the party members were.
Being an elf, a species of forest, moving stealthily in the dark forest was no problem for her.
Not long after, Elin approached Louis’s party.
She took the sack from the tree.
It was a little farther away, but just as you did in the duel, you can blow the dust away through the wind magic.
Elin carefully opened the sack.
And at the scent emanating from it, Elin’s face turned white.
Leo thought that Elin wouldn’t know.
Because Elin knew this too.
A powder used when hunting beasts.
It wasn’t like poison, it was the powder that lured the beasts.
