The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 174



Drink

A sudden call is bound to be scary for anyone. But what if it’s from Professor Daphne, the so-called White Witch?

Needless to say, the four men and women, including Fran, entered Daphne’s office in an extremely nervous state.

“The reason I called you was···.”

Daphne began to open her lips with a serious expression on her face that she had never seen before in front of the four men and women.

“Because I have something to hear from you. So from now on, I want you to answer honestly to the questions I ask you one by one. First, you on the left.”

Daphne looked at Rose, who had a particularly sharp expression on her face compared to the other children, and Rose swallowed dry saliva but did not avoid Daphne’s gaze and met her gaze.

“Tell me. What happened to you during that time? Tell me everything.”

Either way, Daphne asked Rose with a bland expression.

Perhaps she didn’t like the sight. Rose sighed and began to speak rapidly, as if venting all the anger she had been holding in.

“···What on earth do you want me to say? You have to ask me a clear question so I can either answer or not.”

“It’s true. It’s been like this···.”

“No, in the meantime, shouldn’t you tell me when it starts and ends and what each thing is? How many times a day you pooped, how many times you’ve had your period since you were born until now, things like that?”

“I don’t want to know that at all···.”

“Then please ask me specifically. Then I can either answer or not.”

Rose, who had been hurling words at Daphne in a rapid-fire tone, had already placed both hands on her hips.

Fran, who had been watching the situation with great tension, was truly impressed by Rose’s courage.

Oh my god, how could you talk back to that crazy witch like that?

In fact, Rose was the only student who had ever refuted Daphne in a sarcastic way. But today, she succeeded in going beyond refutation to being sarcastic.

At this moment, it was only natural that Rose would appear greater to Fran than the warrior fighting the Demon King.

However, the end of a warrior who fights against great evil is usually an unfortunate one.

“therefore···.”

Crunch.

Fran turned her gaze at the sound of something breaking coming from somewhere. The source was Professor Daphne’s clenched fist.

I don’t know what was inside the trembling fist, but something like fine powder was falling from underneath it.

“therefore···.”

Fran, who noticed that Professor Daphne was trying to suppress her crescent-moon eyebrows, trembled and looked towards Rose.

I hope that’s enough, please stop.

Fran was so afraid that if she touched him even a little more, disaster would come to her.

Daisy was equally afraid. She poked Rose’s ribs and muttered quietly.

“Please, just take it easy, you b*tch.”

Even in the midst of all that, there was one cadet who had a relatively calm expression on his face.

“That was a good argument. Well done.”

It was Sage whispering to Rose.

“ha···.”

Daphne, who had been watching the whole scene, sighed, struggling to resist the urge to immediately create magic.

Normally I wouldn’t have tolerated it, but today I had to endure it. Because today, I needed to have a serious talk with these kids.

“So… I want you to tell me everything that happened with Camel since you entered the Academy.”

“Why should we tell you that?”

“Because it’s important.”

“Aha, you want to monopolize Camel, but you want to check to see if Camel has lost her virginity? Like, if she kissed me?”

Shh, Rose answered in an airy voice, one corner of her mouth raised. For some reason, her expression seemed as if she was intoxicated with a sense of victory.

Daisy, who was watching the scene, chewed her lips and made an indignant expression for some reason, and Fran had to wipe the cold sweat that had formed on her forehead and feel her heart pounding.

As expected.

“Rose.”

pop!

Rose’s head exploded.

“Gyaaah!”

No, the fire magic that exploded continuously near Rose’s head caused her to collapse.

“The professor is asking this question seriously now. The situation is that serious.”

“What, what… Is it such a serious and grave thing to want to monopolize a young disciple?”

“That’s none of your business… No, Camel could die.”

“Yes, yes, of course… What did you say?”

Rose’s eyes, which had been reacting sharply despite her hair being singed by the flames, suddenly grew wide.

“I guess you’ve all encountered and been in danger at least once, either through sin or through those who have been empowered by sin. Camel would have stepped up and cut them down every time. Is that right?”

Daphne asked the four men and women with serious faces, and as the atmosphere calmed down, the four men and women all nodded in agreement to Daphne’s question.

“So, let me ask you, were you able to stand against those beings without Camel? Or were you able to cut them down or destroy them?”

Naturally, there was no one who could answer Daphne’s question.

“If there had been no Camel, you would not have been here either. But there is no need to be ashamed. Since you had never received proper teachings, it would have been natural that you could not resist them. However, you must have fully realized how strong and fearsome they are. And yet, there is a distant being that is incomparable to those beings, and is targeting Camel.”

“What do you mean by a distant existence···?”

“The evil spirit, originally, you were the one chosen by the stars to face it.”

“yes···?”

Fran’s eyes widened. Rather than being surprised, her expression seemed like she was wondering what the hell she was talking about.

“So, children, I will tell you the details slowly, so would you mind answering my questions first?”

Because each and every one of them will be a very important clue in preparing for the future.

With that remark, Daphne urged the children to answer.

****

In the still atmosphere, Daphne listened to all four children’s stories.

It was as expected. Each of them had their own story, and Camel swung his sword for these children.

Daphne, who had learned the details of what had happened, was convinced.

Not only Camel and herself, but these children are also likely to be targeted by evil forces in the near future. In many ways, they were worth it.

The warrior who controls the starlight,

A wizard who rules over subspace,

A magical doll with elven blood flowing through it,

And there’s even a red-haired girl whose growth rate is abnormally fast.

The evil spirit who wanted to bring about the end of the world could not help but reach out to these children who would get in his way.

Daphne told the children these facts and what she knew.

About myself still alive, entangled in old contracts.

About Berheim, the primordial warrior who executed that contract.

And even about the evil spirit, Bulginus, who descended in an imperfect state, inhabiting the flesh of Berheim.

The children naturally doubted Daphne’s words, and Daphne denied their suspicions even by hanging a camel.

“I can’t go against them because of the contract.”

Daphne looked towards Rose, Sage, and Daisy.

“But I can help you, so you can help Camel.”

widely.

Daphne took out three flasks from her bosom and placed them on the table. The flasks contained a clear liquid, and a mysterious energy like starlight gleamed inside.

“It may not be necessary for Fran, who controls the starlight, but it is not necessary for you. Drink it. It is very precious.”

“This is···.”

“It was an arrangement someone made a long time ago for his junior. Well, that darn b*stard got himself killed a long time ago.”

“Professor, by any chance… this isn’t poison, is it?”

Daisy, who was looking curiously at the flask that was glowing with a mysterious light, asked with a look of interest.

Then Rose and Sage also hesitated and stared at Daphne.

“It’s poison… It’s not poison, but in some ways you could say it’s poison.”

“yes?”

“The moment you drink it, your swords and magic will be able to reach sin.”

The three women’s eyes grew wide at Daphne’s words.

“Isn’t that, isn’t that a good thing?!”

“That’s good.”

“But why is this poison?”

Daphne looked at those children with a complicated expression and answered with compassion.

“Because I can’t ignore it.”

“···?”

“One day you too will understand what this means.”

Daphne, who had said so, looked at the children with her mouth shut, while Rose, Daisy, and Sage drank from the flask one by one.

They felt the alien energy coursing through their veins. They knew it instinctively.

They hope to imbue their swords and magic with this mysterious energy.

If you do that, you will definitely be able to fight against sin.

“But you know.”

Meanwhile, Rose looked at Daphne and asked.

“Professor, why are you giving us this precious thing···?”

“Because I don’t want to lose.”

“What?”

“Just as you cherish Camel, I cherish my disciple too.”

Daphne let out a small laugh and then got up from her seat and looked out the window.

“Every day at 2 p.m., Training Ground 8.”

“yes?”

The four men and women tilted their heads. It was understandable, since two o’clock in the afternoon was a time when classes were in full swing, and Training Ground 8 was located in a corner of the academy, on top of a very high mountain, so it was rarely used.

“I will teach you everything I can.”

As the window opens, her platinum hair flutters in the gentle breeze.

At that sight, the four men and women felt an inexplicable surge of motivation.

Daphne told them not to worry because she had already told Hilda about the class, and that she would not allow them to make any requests to spend time with her, and then sent the children out.

****

As I walked through the academy grounds, I muttered quietly.

“Where have all the kids gone?”

Even though it had been a while since I had returned, I was concerned that I had not been able to say hello to my friends.

So I was out looking for Rose, Daisy, and Sage an hour before I was supposed to meet the principal.

But, since I couldn’t see it at all, I felt frustrated and started asking around.

Since I was going to see these kids during class anyway, the reason I asked around was simple.

Because I want to see you now.

Not knowing the word ‘give up’, I wanted to see the pretty faces of the principal and Diane before looking at their dull faces.

“Well? I haven’t seen it.”

“I don’t know because our dorms are different?”

“Why are you asking me that, a fourth grader?”

“Woof, woof?”

Even though they caught and questioned a passing dog, their whereabouts were unknown.

Just as I was about to give up, I saw a friend passing by who seemed to know where they were.

Brown hair tied in pigtails, freckles prominent on her cheeks, and a slightly protruding mouth.

That friend, who for some reason seemed like a talkative person, often hung out with Daisy.

What was its name? I think it was similar to Pericana.

Anyway, I quickly approached him and grabbed his wrist.

“Hee, heegyaaak!”

Then, Pelicana jumped up and made a strange noise as if he was very surprised… no, his friend.

Feeling a little sorry, I tried to reassure her with a kind expression and said.

“Quiet.”

“Hipp!”

My kindness must have worked, because she was able to regain her composure after hiccuping about five times.

“Daisy is now···.”

She answered my question with a trembling voice.

“I was called by the professor. Fran, Rose, and… I heard they called Sage too?”

“Professor? Who are you?”

I was going to go to that professor’s office and see their faces. Because I’m a man who never gives up.

“Professor Daphne.”

“ah···.”

When I heard the professor’s name, I corrected my thoughts.

A wise person must know how to practice the virtue of giving up sometimes.

After revising my values ​​on the spot, I headed straight to the principal’s office.
