I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes - I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes chapter 98

Throat

“Ah, maybe… ”

“yes.”

“… yes?”

Aine, who was about to say it was real, just freezes.

“Hold on, Veronica. Are you really going to war?”

Are you very confused?

Aine grabs Veronica and turns around.

“Uh, what should I do? It’s war… Are you okay?”

“Hey, put this aside… ”

“Oh sorry.”

After escaping from Aine’s grasp, Veronica explained a bit more in detail.

“Master said it would be a war if the Epsylt duchy didn’t comply.”

“Isn’t that right?”

He’s a small, bubbly kid.

Well, at this age, when an ordinary girl like Aine hears the word war, that’s the normal reaction.

“What is your request?”

I asked.

“neck.”

Veronica answers simply.

It’s so simple, the problem is that I didn’t understand what it meant.

“What share?”

“The Neck of Leo Epsylt.”

“Ah, neck.”

“… … ”

Aine’s face had already turned white.

“Hey, Veronica… I’d rather secretly send someone to kill Leo Epsylt, or something peaceful like that… ”

He is our child who speaks with a white face and wants to avoid war.

Although, there is a feeling that Aine also has a very different opinion.

I decided to focus on a little more practical problem first.

“Veronica, are you okay? Of course, the red mage tower is strong, but it’s a problem if you really wage war… A little too much.”

Now, these words are extremely refined.

The level of problems is not a little bit, but once the research and business in progress of the tower is stopped.

Generally speaking of territorial warfare, the armies owned by each lord fight each other.

There are very few cases in which all the peasants are conscripted and all-out war is waged.

However, there is no such thing as a separate army in the tower, so maybe the magicians belonging to it will come out to battle.

In addition, all dealings with the Duke of Epsilt and the families under its influence will be cut off.

Above all else, the opponent is the Duke of Epsilt.

No matter how strong Scarlett Marche is, will he be able to defeat the Duke of Epsilt?

In the first place, it is unclear whether the imperial family will tolerate the war between the Matoap and the Duke family.

To my questions implied by these questions, Veronica gave a simple answer.

“I don’t know either.”

“Oh, you don’t even know.”

“Perhaps even Master doesn’t know.”

“Ah, the lord of the tower doesn’t even know.”

“What about our master? He’s the type of person who just slaps his eyes when he turns his eyes… ”

Haha, Veronica laughs.

“Really, kid. Do you think the idea I mentioned earlier is okay?”

“Yes? Are you okay?”

No, I’m begging you, please be patient.

“Isn’t there anyone in the tower who can do such a thing? Leave it to me!”

Master beats his chest and speaks confidently.

—

“So, there will be a declaration of support in the name of His Majesty the Patriarch Schpelz soon.”

“Please say thank you very much.”

To the priest’s words, Duke Epsilt answered.

“The same is also true of Cardinal Constanzio Sabella.”

What I’m talking about now is Cardinal Constanzio’s subordinate.

The priest who is following him, Anthony.

“This is such an honor. How dare you go this far for the sake of my poor bastard.”

His face was expressionless, but his words were polite.

“no. It’s for the hero candidate, so it’s only natural for the denomination to step forward.”

The priest adds in a soft voice.

“I just want the hero candidate to think a little bit better about the denomination.”

“It’s okay. Oh, the special offering… ”

“I think you should pass it on as usual.”

Well, it wasn’t the first time such a deal had happened.

Both the Duke and the Priest were used to it.

Of course, this time, the size of the donation will be different from usual as the size of the work is large.

“Cardinal Sabella wants information.”

“If it’s information, what about the incident? if not… ”

“Of course, the Duke would know better about the current situation.”

To the priest’s words, the duke answered lightly.

“No worries. Wizards are louder than expected, but the imperial court wants to intervene anyway.”

“Is the imperial family coming?”

the priest asks

“The red horse tower is strong, but if it’s like a duke… ”

Although he faltered his tail, the duke was offended.

Act like it’s not a big deal.

“Because other horse towers are moving.”

“Why?”

“Probably a sign of protest against the imperial family and the Order.”

“If you are protesting… ah.”

The priest makes a face that he has realized.

After that, the expression of no-nonsense.

“The Black Mage Tower was researching magic. Do you still need to say more?”

“Well, aren’t wizards originally like that?”

It was.

No matter how strong the prestige of the Epsilt duchy is.

It was difficult to apply pressure with only one red tower, and even the other towers were supporting the red tower.

The reason is absurd.

It was because the imperial family destroyed the Black Magic Tower and the church declared the Black Magic Tower a heresy.

Even though they were the ones who usually acted like they would prey on each other.

When an attack comes against them, they band together.

It was a mistake for the Black Mage Tower to study magic in the first place.

The fact that he studied magic is absolutely unacceptable.

Because not only the empire, but the whole continent was trembling because of Magi.

That’s why wizards don’t dare openly express their dissatisfaction.

Since the imperial family and church protected the Epsilt duchy, they protested by siding with the Red Mage Tower.

“They are fools.”

“Yes, it is.”

“Huh!”

Lucy Ansberg wields her sword.

The core of the slime splits with her sword.

“annoying… ”

Lucy muttered involuntarily.

Currently, she is out for assignment activities.

The midterm exams are over, and some parties who have been evaluated as having good skills can receive combat-related tasks in earnest.

Even so, it was at most the lowest level monster, slime.

There were even parties that were not able to do that and were given tasks other than combat.

The task that Lucy’s party received this time was slime subjugation.

Lucy was currently hunting slimes alone.

Of course, Ogiya came with the party members, but in the name of sharing roles.

While the other party members went to the place where the slimes were gathered and subjugated them, Lucy decided to take charge of the escapees.

It sounds plausible, but in the end, they say they want to go on their own.

Lucy Ansberg was an outcast in class.

No one to talk to, no more slimes around.

Lucy recently.

I started thinking about an incident that happened during the midterm exam.

I heard that Leo Epsylt tried to kill Louis-senpai’s party.

A party with my sister.

Fortunately, though, they are all fine.

Upon hearing the news, Lucy was very worried about whether senior Louis would be okay.

When I visited in person, I was relieved that I was fine.

As for my sister…

To be honest, I didn’t think there was anything to worry about.

She was an older sister who doubted whether she properly considered herself as a younger sister.

She was always annoyed and jealous.

Even, because of her sister, her family is ruined and she is being ostracized from the academy.

So, I thought it was natural to hate it.

Still, when I heard the news, I was worried.

Before, when a group of gargoyles attacked the estate.

Lucy went to the academy to deliver the news.

The concerned expression of the older sister she met there as she asked if she was safe.

At the time, I only thought it was a pretense.

She’s an older sister who usually didn’t show any interest in herself.

But, after going through this, I thought that maybe that was what I was really worried about.

Whatever it was, I still hated it.

She was always behind her sister.

So Lucy was looking forward to the academy life this time around.

What did I do to avoid being compared to my sister or to hear that I was superior to my sister?

all was useless

Her family is ruined, and her sister is being bullied because of her lies.

At the same time, Lucy was being bullied as well.

The academy life he had been looking forward to, the things he had ambitiously prepared for.

Because of her older sister, it couldn’t even start and she was thrown into the gutter.

Thinking about that, my anger rose again.

No, maybe this is paying the price.

The sin of not properly drying the mother.

The sin of not revealing all the facts from the beginning.

… Even so, isn’t it too harsh?

The only fault he has done is literally the sin of not doing something.

It was my sister and mother who caused the problem.

Annoying.

it’s all annoying

“… You have to move.”

Lucy raises her sword.

Slowly, slimes began to appear again.

Really, how are you all doing?

It’s obvious if you don’t see it

While everyone was chatting happily, the slime subjugation was behind the scenes.

He must have been hunting with the feeling that he had just come to play.

‘Except for me.’

I keep getting angry.

Lately, I feel like it’s hard to control my emotions.

No, I don’t think it’s a feeling.

Quang! Quang!

Lucy’s sword hitting the slime is getting stronger.

Lucy slams her sword harder and harder towards the already crushed slime and smiles with a twisted smile.

“Huh… ”

It was a moment later when she came to her senses.

“Ah, here it is again… ”
