I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 193
Only Noblemtl
Chapter 193
Episode 193 Teacher and disciple (12)
The possibility of suddenly cutting my head off and dropping it.
It’s a friendly atmosphere, but if you’re Caron in front of you, that’s more than enough.
Because he was a man called ‘Bad Ending Maker’ among users.
Is it because he saw my cautious attitude? Charon smiled and opened her mouth.
“As you expected, Mr. Douglas is alive. But I cannot tell you what his current condition is.”
I thought to myself, sighing in relief.
It was natural that Charon would not reveal information about him. Currently Douglas.
‘Because it’s under the devil’s curse.’
A devil’s curse that not only forced him to stay in the Holy Kingdom for several years, but also forced him to change his name.
Let’s skip over what kind of curse it is. What’s important now is getting Douglas to join the ‘Volkan Punitive Force’.
It was when I was trying to tell why Douglas should join.
“And he’s already decided to join, so don’t worry.”
… … Already decided to join?
At that moment, goosebumps ran down my spine.
‘Is it really an empire? … .’
Nonsense information about skeletons standing up.
There were a few more side pieces of information, but that was the only main piece of information.
In general, it is natural to let down your guard.
This is because the world is currently completely unaware of the existence and fear of the ‘undead’.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of skeletons buried in Kalos, the first thought that comes to mind is ‘how strong can a bone be?’
‘Of course, the rat sent by Charon confirmed that it was not an ordinary skeleton. Even so… … .’
It doesn’t make sense to go to fight across another country with this kind of information, and it makes even less sense to deploy several Charon-level strongmen.
So I can’t help but get goosebumps.
‘Are you saying you won’t let your guard down at all…? … .’
It was a moment when I realized once again the horror of the empire.
‘Luna is also a problem… … It will be absolutely impossible to save Rodelin.’
Since my life is at stake, I decided to play as safely as possible.
After a few days of hard work after entering the academy, I created a mind map that led to the final chapter.
‘Rodelin’s Salvation’ was not included in the mind map.
‘Because no one has succeeded in saving Rodelin.’
What I’m playing right now is a survival game disguised as ‘Academy Heroes’.
So it was natural that I gave up on Rodelin.
In the first place, he was only given a slave seal, but he moved well until the final boss battle.
But every time I faced Rodelin’s face, that thought would stir.
The thought of ‘I want to save you’.
But now, seeing the empire’s response power, that thought suddenly entered my mind.
Save Rodelin from those guys?
‘Hey, hehe!’
I end up not doing it because it’s dirty.
In the first place, it will be enough to save Rodelin after I survive this survival game and return to Earth to challenge myself.
“… … .”
I shook my head slightly to shake off random thoughts.
That the Empire is a scary bunch, and saving Rodelin. Because this is not what is important now.
The important thing now is that the empire is moving as I thought, and the survival probability of Eleister, Charon, and Lucia has increased.
‘The probability of killing Volkan has also increased.’
That was important.
huh? There is only one more 8-star knight, so why make such a fuss?
It has to be that way. Former Douglas, now called Adonis… … .
‘Because he is the owner of the holy sword.’
The two holy swords lost their shine after losing their owners.
Like the 9th Holy Sword Artena that I currently have, its power has been weakened, but it should not be difficult to deal with the current Volkan.
“Are all your questions answered now?”
“Hehe, that’s enough. “If you’re the hero Douglas, you have a lot of power.”
“It’s not good to let down your guard. Just as we confirmed their existence, those in Kalos at that time also confirmed our existence. A considerable amount of time has passed since then, so he either ran away or… … .”
“Either setting a trap and waiting. “It has to be one of two things.”
“… … .”
Sigh!
Charon grabbed my head.
No, what did I do wrong?
“Hehe, why are you hitting me?”
“The guy who knows it might be a trap says ‘enough is enough,’ so that’s right. It is true that Mr. Douglas is great, but does he know how old he is?”
“I don’t know the details… … “He was around 70 when the funeral was held, so he must have been over 80, right?”
“You are eighty-three. “I’ve been an old man for a long time.”
If you think about the average age in this world, you are the oldest among the elderly.
So Charon’s worries were natural.
“Since you are a 9-star knight, you must be better than most people. But compared to the days when he was called a hero, he will fall far short.”
This was a fact I also knew well. Because I learned theories related to ‘mana’ during class.
As you age, problems arise not only with your body, but also with your mana management.
Currently, Douglas has 8 stars… … No, it means that he probably won’t be able to achieve the level of power of a 7-star knight.
but.
‘One of the abilities of the two great holy swords is the goddess’ protection.’
[Goddess’ protection].
A crazy skill that removes all status abnormalities and brings your physical abilities back to their prime.
It may only be for a moment, but it will be able to demonstrate a power comparable to the past.
It was a time when I was thinking about the episode in the game where Douglas first revealed the appearance of the two holy swords.
“You paid the price, now it’s my turn to receive the payment.”
A price?
I had no choice but to make a question mark above my head.
We have business relationship. And the information I received now was something I had a right to demand as an information provider.
But you treat that as a ‘price’.
Did they decide to use their superiority in power to betray me?
“… … “One sum.”
“yes?”
“Make sure Luna’s Ilsom is sealed for the time being.”
Only then did I understand Charon’s intentions.
Luna is now able to use Ilseom quite well.
Anyone who has seen a glimpse of the Lester family even once may suspect Luna’s identity.
Charon’s worries and worries are going through the sky.
‘But I can’t bear to ask you to protect Luna… … Are you asking us to take the next best option and seal off Ilseom, which could cause problems?’
From the beginning, I was the one who told Luna, ‘It is forbidden to touch one’s face in front of others.’
This means that it doesn’t matter if you listen to Charon’s request.
The problem is that Caron made a counter-threat under the pretense of ‘quid pro quo’.
‘How dare you mention the sacred price?’
It was a very, very cheeky act.
It seemed like we needed to establish our relationship once again.
“I think the information I was given today was a reasonable price to pay.”
“In every transaction there is a service.”
“The owner has no intention of providing service?”
“If you are thinking about future transactions, you should know how to provide at least a small service at this point. “That’s what a business owner is good at.”
“So, this means that Teacher Charon will also provide services? “It’s a hassle to send and receive, so why not just skip this service?”
In slang, it means ‘let’s go out’.
The owner next door… … No, Charon, the imperial rat, started shaking her fists.
But you won’t be able to swing your fist carelessly.
This is because the life of Luna, whom Charon cherishes, is at stake.
“after… … . Okay, good. “What do you want?”
Charon lowered his fist. She seemed to have exercised superhuman patience.
It’s a price… … Of course, you can also ask for money or artifacts here.
but.
“Hehe, it’s a bit awkward for us to get paid for something like this. One word is enough.”
“… … word?”
“Yes, the word ‘please’.”
“… … !!”
Right now, it was more important to show the arrogant Charon an example.
What happens if you put your personal feelings into a sacred transaction? What happens if you break the rules?
‘I’ll enforce discipline.’
Yes. This was an act to establish Charon’s discipline.
I wasn’t acting like this because I had an opportunity to make fun of Charon. really!
“… … .”
I looked at Charon, who continued to moan and move his lips.
Come on, Charon. Go ahead and say it.
request.
It would be even better if you added the word ‘please’!
“married couple… … .”
wealth?
“… … “Obituary news.”
“yes?”
“The news of your death may echo throughout the academy tomorrow.”
… … You must be kidding, right?
Charon’s sunken eyes caught my eye.
Um, I see. Are you serious? Well, I guess the prank was a bit harsh.
“Let’s change the conditions. If you could tell me why you’re so worried about Luna… … .”
Taaa!!
Charon hit my head hard.
He’s a real bad guy. Trying to make a deal with power!
“Hehe, I learned that forcing service from the owner is not a good consumer… … .”
But I had no choice but to stop talking. Because Charon raised her fist again.
“… … But Mr. Caron is a regular customer. It is natural to provide service.”
Only then did Charon lower his fist.
So I was forced to provide the service.
“Actually, I’ve already told you. “Don’t use it in front of other people.”
“And you asked me to do that? “He seems like an arrogant guy.”
Aren’t you the one who was cheeky because you tried to eat the sacred price raw?
He puffed out both cheeks and complained.
Charon’s clumsy hand grabbed my face and I immediately exploded.
“… … “Are you still not going to tell me what the deal was with Renia?”
Charon’s grip holding my face. Through them, I could see his unknown eyes.
What was the relationship between Caron and the Lester family?
“It’s not like it doesn’t exist. The deal that Teacher Charon made with Renia. “I am willing to trade with that information.”
“… … Are you saying we should disclose the transaction with Renia to each other? Not a bad idea. “As long as you don’t lie.”
“Hehe, did you notice?”
“bouncer.”
I reacted as if nothing had happened, but inside I was very puzzled.
The fact that he realized I was lying.
How dare you reveal that so casually.
‘I expected it, but… … Could it have been okay for her to pretend not to know and leave me alone? How can you tell me so obediently? ‘What is your intention?’
It feels like the battle with Charon has become more complicated.
Charon said, taking his hand away from my face.
“Well, that was only when I survived.”
“Hehe, that’s surprising. “Are you not confident?”
“There is too little information. It’s even weirder to be confident when you’re sticking your neck into the enemy’s jaw. More than anything… … .”
More than anything?
“My instincts are speaking. “It will not be an easy fight.”
Charon seemed to have judged that Volkan would choose to fight rather than flee.
Can you instinctively know that fact? Is it something like Leger’s idiot fur radar?
“Personally, I don’t think running away is a shameful act. “Fighting even when you know you can’t win is a foolish act.”
“You’re being noble in telling me to run away when things get difficult.”
Charon grabbed my head. This is now a habit.
“I feel the same way, so don’t worry. This is a fight that will start from a disadvantageous position, and the enemy will not let us go quietly. but… … .”
Charon’s words stopped there.
When he opened his mouth again, the moonlight went behind the building, turning the room into darkness.
“What if, what if…” … If I can’t come back, then Luna… … .”
Because the room was dark, Charon’s face could not be seen.
But what Charon was trying to say seemed clear.
‘Are you trying to ask for Luna when you’re in the wrong?’
For a moment, I felt a little annoyed.
Because it was so different from the Charon I knew.
“To say such a weak thing… … That’s not like you. Have you become more sensitive as you get older?”
“what… … ?”
“Isn’t it okay to win? Before fighting, do not be confident of victory or defeat. “Who taught that?”
The Charon of today was not the Charon I knew.
How do you know that when you’ve only been together for a few months?
well. In general, can we say that 18 years is ‘at most’?
‘I must have taken Charon’s classes at least tens of thousands of times and fought thousands of times.’
So I had no choice but to know Charon well.
Rough but clear.
They treat you harshly from the front, but take care of you from behind.
There are times when they are harsh to the point of being harsh, but deep down, all I think about is the students.
The Charon I knew was that kind of person and teacher.
Yes, people like this are like Lucia.
He must be someone you can call ‘master’.
Well, like Lucia, it’s not specified in the system window, and it’s a teacher who isn’t fun to make fun of, so it’s not a good thing.
For him who is anxious, just this once… … Okay, let’s provide a service.
“So come back after winning, Master.”
A brief silence. Charon’s faint laughter broke the silence.
“… … bouncer. “I have never had an arrogant bastard like you as a disciple.”
“Hehe, is that so?”
“You seem like an arrogant bastard. If you say something like that again, you should be prepared. “I will pull out your tongue.”
Grumble, rumble-.
After that, Charon’s cries filled the room.
Well, now the Charon I know has returned. Although it was a little noisy.
‘I guess that’s why they judged this fight to be so dangerous. ‘Is there any way I can help?’
-There are some elements of anxiety… … Only the best of the available troops were carefully selected.
The word ‘anxiety factor’ that Charon mentioned a moment ago caught my nerves.
I was sure. One of those unsettling factors.
“Lucia is probably included as well.”
“… … I can’t believe I’m being called an anxiety factor by my students. “This is something I really want to tell Lucia.”
Charon only refuted what I said, but did not deny it.
It meant that Lucia was one of the unsettling factors.
‘I guess it’s because I didn’t listen.’
This is a bigger problem than you think.
On the battlefield, it is important to basically ‘unify’ opinions.
Starting with whether to attack, defend, or retreat.
Operations, forward direction, personnel distribution, strategy, etc.
When things go differently than expected or when you are in crisis, personal sense and judgment take precedence.
The need to move within a ‘defined framework’ is an absolute rule and a discipline of the battlefield.
‘Based on the number of members, it is highly likely that it will be Elester or Charon who is planning the operation.’
Although their relationship with Charon has improved recently, their relationship can never be called ‘good’. furthermore.
‘There’s no way that slut Lucia would follow other people’s words.’
Charon would also be well aware of this fact.
That’s why Lucia was included as an ‘anxiety factor’.
‘It was like that in the game, but I know better after seeing it in person.’
It’s impossible to get Lucia to follow orders.
‘Unless you wear a leash as thick as a chain… … .’
therefore.
I can give it to Charon.
A chain, a leash made of very thick and strong iron.
“Well, I’ll give you a gift to cheer you up.”
“gift?”
I took a photo out of my pocket and threw it.
Charon looked at the photo and immediately burst into laughter.
“Kkkkkkkkkk! You… … “How on earth did you do this?”
How did you do it? Of course.
“Hehe, it’s a secret.”
Under normal circumstances, this would have been an action that would have resulted in a punch. But Charon was busy bursting into laughter.
The photo I gave to Charon.
This was a group photo taken before we parted ways with Lucia today.
Lucia’s uniform cosplay(?) photo.
Now that Lucia, who is well over 30 years old, is wearing the academy uniform, Charon is bound to fall out.
“If you threaten to spread that photo, Lucia will have no choice but to follow your orders.”
“Isn’t Lucia your teacher? But he is recommending threats. “He’s such a cocky guy.”
“Of course it’s not free. “This is a deal.”
“Kkkkk, yeah. It seems worth it. Okay, what do you want?”
“This is to control the information that Lucia has recruited disciples.”
Information that I, Luna, and Leger have become Lucia’s students.
This information is only known to Charon and a small group of rats at the moment, but it will soon leak out everywhere.
Although Lucia said that the alliance should be informed, Luna and Leger may reveal it without their knowledge.
They are the first to hear information that comes out of their mouths.
‘Gutter rat.’
And the person commanding that rat was right in front of me.
“Kkkk, are you trying to buy me some time to grow? “I guess you’re scared too.”
“Isn’t it obvious? “I am an ordinary student.”
“Ordinary students do not threaten their teachers. “I didn’t take advantage of my teacher’s weaknesses to make a deal.”
“Hehe, is that so?”
Okay!
Charon grabbed my head. It was a very light honey chestnut.
“The deal is done. “You are doing your duty as a student.”
Charon leaned halfway out the window.
Has time passed? Moonlight began to shine through the window again.
“Until I return.”
And so Charon left. Into the moonlight.
