◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (120)
“Parcontium?”
“Yes, if we can use that method, it seems like we could effectively restrain the forces of the Kingdom of Meladion.”
The small arrow shot by DL soon reached Ethan through Seila.
Ethan stroked his chin with a serious expression at the unexpected operation.
Because the thought of maybe just crossed my mind for a moment. But,
“That’s nonsense. That Parcontium is nothing more than an ignorant tradition of the Baroque Kingdom. If we lose our promising candidate because of it, it will only cause a huge blow to our national power.”
The one who opposed Seyla was Bauman, the commander of the 5th Corps.
Bauman was with Prince Byron three years ago.
Originally, he could have been stripped of his title, but Ethan kept the kingdom’s talent intact by eliminating only Prince Byron’s closest associates.
Because of that, there was discord at first, but now everyone was loyal to Ethan and working hard for the kingdom.
However, there is nothing that can be done about the strange war of nerves that occurs between the generals and other officials.
Although Bauman was not as strong as Saila in terms of physical strength, he rose to the position of commander with his outstanding brain and unique leadership skills.
Despite his bear-like size, he had a fox-like appearance, but he was often compared to Seyla, so they were not on good terms.
“Besides, to tell His Majesty the opinions of the Academy students… I think Count Ceyla’s actions are a bit reckless.”
“……I’m not denying that, but I’m saying that if you can prepare successfully, it can be a good strategy too.”
“It takes three people to propose that Parcontium, who would be willing to step forward?”
“I’ve already secured two of them. I have confidence in them too.”
“Two people?”
Bauman’s eyes shook slightly.
The fear of Parcontium is greater than you might think. And yet there are two of them?
“Who is that?”
“Baron Isaac and Captain Lian.”
“Ah, Baron Isaac Pitt!”
Bauman’s butt wiggled.
Who is Isaac?
Aren’t you the only disciple of Duke Gaiel Pit, who possesses the strongest military force in the history of the kingdom?
Rumor has it that he reached the master level… … .
Unlike Bauman, Ethan focused on other names.
“Has Captain Lian returned?”
“yes.”
Saila answered. Ethan asked her.
“Where is it?”
“It’s been so long since I’ve heard from you, and you’re being really presumptuous. You said there was something you absolutely had to do first.”
“What should I do?”
At that question, Seyla nodded with a small smile.

Thud thud.
It was a distance I walked every day, but today something felt strange.
No, the current situation may be unpleasant.
After class, DL came out of the academy.
Because, unlike others, my circumstances were not good enough to allow me to live in a dormitory within the academy.
Coming from a rural area at the eastern end of the kingdom, she lived in the cheapest accommodation in Tilburt.
Because she had no financial support, she had to save every penny.
“……ha.”
Finally, a sigh escaped DL’s beautiful lips.
Recently, the atmosphere in the kingdom has been changing rapidly and ominously.
Ethan, who ascended to the throne three years ago, prioritized the internal stability of the kingdom above all else in his policies.
Just three years.
To some, it may seem like a long time, but three years is a very short time to put a policy on the agenda and produce results.
However, the current king, Ethan, has achieved some significant results in that short period of time and stabilized the kingdom.
And perhaps because they thought they had achieved some results, they began to slowly move toward expanding outside the kingdom.
‘… … He is a diligent king.’
Normally, we might take a break at this point, but Ethan, as if he had been waiting for this day, put another policy on the list.
What’s frustrating for DL in this situation is that there’s nothing he can do.
Although he prides himself on studying hard, what can DL, who comes from a commoner background, do?
In fact, if you look at it solely based on skill, you could have gone to a better place than Aperium Academy.
But for financial reasons, coming to the Aperium Academy was the best option for her.
Gulp.
A loud thunderclap echoed from DL’s ship as he was returning home.
DL’s face turned red as he stopped walking for a moment.
It was fortunate that there was no one nearby, but if there had been someone nearby, they would have been surprised and looked at him.
DL opened the pocket in his arms.
Jjang.
A few silver coins visible among the brass ones.
DL let out a small sigh and approached the man selling bread on the street as usual.
I’d like to slice up some meat, but I always end up going for this long, crusty rye bread.
Within a few minutes, Diel, holding a few loaves of bread in his arms, started walking back home. At that moment,
“……uh?”
A man loitering in front of a store at the moment.
My gaze was drawn to the unfamiliar sight, but I instinctively felt that something was out of the ordinary.
“……Was there such a person?”
It was impressive that he had quite long hair, even though he was clearly a man.
And what a shiny golden hair. But judging from the way he dressed, he didn’t look like he was particularly noble.
DL quickly erased all thoughts of him.
Because the task at hand comes first.
“Let’s graduate quickly.”
If you pass this graduation exam, you will be able to graduate from the academy.
The only problem is that the Academy’s graduation exams are ridiculously difficult.
But DL made up his mind.
Because that’s the only way out of this difficult life.
DL, holding a loaf of bread in his arms, walked quickly. At that moment,
“Excuse me.”
“……yes?”
DL tilted his head as a man with long blond hair suddenly approached him.
Soon the man handed the note he was holding to DL.
“Do you know where this place is?”
“This is…….”
DL’s eyes shook greatly when he saw the note.

“Hmm.”
Tilburt had never been there in his previous life.
No, but I guess it’s possible that I’ve been here once or twice while traveling around battlefields, but would it be more accurate to say that I don’t have any particular memories of it?
After arriving in Tilburt, Lian walked to the Aperium Academy.
Two-story buildings stood out along streets paved with gray stones.
Walking down a street that felt more calm than flashy, Lian looked around.
‘This is Tilburt… … .’
The most proud feature was the Aperitif Academy, but when I actually got there, there was a clear difference in light and shadow.
‘I didn’t know there were slums like this.’
There wasn’t a clear boundary, but it was clear enough that even an outsider like Lian could tell at a glance.
What was surprising was that DL was living right in this slum.
Ryan looked again at the note he had received from Adelson.
“It definitely seems to be around here…….”
Standing in front of a shabby store, Lian frowned as she looked at the note.
Because I couldn’t figure out the exact location.
‘I can’t help it.’
Lian looked around and saw a woman carrying a large loaf of bread in her arms.
‘Diel’s hair was… … gray, wasn’t it?’
I almost laughed when I thought that maybe this guy was DL.
Lian tried to look indifferent and approached the gray-haired woman and asked.
“Excuse me.”
“……yes?”
Lian looked at her in surprise and exclaimed, “Oh no.”
In this slum, it occurred to me that even approaching her could be a threat to her.
Lian asked as politely as possible, holding out the note she was holding.
“Do you know where this place is?”
“This is…….”
A woman with a momentary look of bewilderment.
Lian’s gaze turned to her as her eyes wavered.
Soon the woman nodded, her bewildered expression disappearing.
“Oh, you came from the opposite direction. Go into that alley and turn left about a hundred meters. There’s a small bar there. It’s right next to that.”
“Thank you.”
Lian smiled brightly and turned her head slightly. Then she walked towards the alley she had pointed out.
But just as she entered the alley, Lian cautiously peeked her head out and saw the woman who had shown her the way.
Ta-da-da-dak!
A woman running somewhere in a hurry.
This gave me confidence.
“It’s DL.”
How embarrassed would she have been if a man she had never seen before in a slum handed her a note with her home address written on it?
“I’m coping well enough.”
I don’t know for sure, but I guess he’s thinking of buying himself some time to go home and grab some important stuff.
Moreover, I turned it to a place that was not too far away, but still close enough to deceive properly.
‘He has excellent judgment skills.’
I think I can give it a high score.
Before we even had a proper conversation, did I feel like it was worth coming to see her?
Lian drew a small arc at the corner of her mouth and walked slowly in the direction she had run.
* * *
“What, what! What!”
Beyond embarrassment, I felt a chill run through my whole body.
DL ran into the house and quickly packed a large bag with important items and a few clothes.
‘Who is it? Who is it?’
No one will come all the way here to find you.
Rather than resolving that question, running away came first.
Whatever the reason, if you’re here, there’s a good chance it’s for a bad reason.
‘Should I go to the academy dormitory first?’
The only safe place to stay in Tilwirt is the Academy dormitory.
But I wondered if there would be a place right now, and even if there was, I didn’t have enough money to live in the academy dormitory.
‘I have to live first.’
Now was not the time to be discussing such things.
Because ensuring safety by any means is the top priority.
“Can I help you?”
“No, it’s okay, Whew-!”
DL was suddenly startled when he heard a question from the side and fell to his knees.
Because the man who had just handed me a note with his home address on it suddenly came in.
DL grabbed the long loaf of bread lying on the floor with both hands and aimed it at Lian.
“Hey, who are you? Who are you to come to this address?”
“Your name is DL?”
“Who are you!”
I became even more anxious because he even knew my name.
When DL shouted, Lian scratched her head and bowed politely in apology.
“First of all, I apologize for any inconvenience. I had no intention of startling you.”
“…….”
DL looked at him in bewilderment at Lian’s unexpectedly gentlemanly behavior.
Even in the midst of all this, the gaze looking at Lian was still full of caution.
Lian took out a nameplate with the mark of the 6th Corps from his bosom.
“This is Captain Lian, the commander of the 6th Corps Independent Unit Arrowhead.”
“Hey, Arrowhead?!”
DL’s eyes grew as big as a rabbit’s.
Of course it had to be that way.
Arrowhead was one of the most famous units in the Academy, especially among those studying the Bookkeeping Department.
This is because the current king, Ethan, not only contributed greatly to the ascension to the throne, but also displayed an incredible level of activity that is beyond compare to his size.
Lian smiled slightly at her expression.
“Did you know?”
“Oh, of course. But I understand that the current leader of the Arrowhead Unit is Lieutenant Raymond…….”
“Oh, should I say I’m Lieutenant Commander Lian? But more importantly, could you… hand me some of that bread?”
“Ah, ah!”
DL was startled and threw the bread aside. Lian snickered and said.
“Then can you give me some time?”
Finally… …I met DL.
