Academy Ankle Reaper

25. Eating that makes me sick.

The academy, where the precious bloodlines of the empire gather, has strict security.

The principal’s head wouldn’t be on top of his neck if it wasn’t safe in the yard where even the bloodline of the imperial family was admitted from time to time.

With mediocre skills, you can’t even step on the site of the academy built on a remote island.

With mediocre skills.

The number of people in the academy has increased by one without anyone noticing.

There is no liner that goes between the land and the academy during the day, but at some point he hid inside the island.

The one who fearlessly broke into the academy was the Black Crow, an assassin who has recently gained notoriety in the back alleys of the Imperial Capital…

He had the uncanny ability to accept requests in the morning and arrive at the academy before sunrise.

‘Usually… I wouldn’t have any intention of accepting such a dangerous request…’

He also knows how difficult it is to successfully complete an assassination request at the academy.

At first I refused.

The method of contact is also forced, and the content is even more forced.

The client is the daughter of Phrygia.

A Phrygian young lady attending the academy asked to erase one of the academy students in the same year without a trace tonight… No matter how you look at it, it’s a request that you’ll get sick of if you eat it.

How absurd is it that you contact me on the same day and ask me to delete it overnight without a trace… Even if it was just a request like this, it was unreasonable, much less if the place was an academy.

Even if it’s a five-pillar request, the risk is too high to request an assassination from the academy.

There is a risk of getting caught up in a political fight and being strangled as a scapegoat.

But in the end, I had no choice but to accept the request.

‘If it’s your ability, you can do it. I’ll give you twice as much as usual.’

‘Money is not the problem. My neck… ‘

‘Twice there’

‘No matter how much you give…!’

‘Twice there’

‘You think anything is possible with your money!!’

‘Twice there’

‘Um… I’ll think about it.’

‘If you take care of it today, I’ll give you twice as much.’

‘… Let’s get ready right now.’

Now that I think about it, I think it would be nice to try it.

He had to grow his reputation as a client after his reputation began to rise rapidly a year ago.

In order to stand up to the established bosses, we have to do something they couldn’t do.

As long as you assassinate an academy student that all the Imperial assassins don’t like, that’ll be enough.

‘It’s safe enough to dispose of an unknown illegitimate child.’

Fortunately, the target is an illegitimate child whose goal is unknown.

I never gave in to money.

It’s all for your reputation.

As Lee Myung-gi, the black crow, an assassin, transformed into a crow and checked the situation while flying in the sky.

It was decided by chance, but infiltrating the academy was a very dangerous act.

On the only bridge, there are several layers of defense magic hysterically installed by principal Gordon, and it is also installed in many academy buildings and dormitories.

Black Crow is a first rate assassin.

It is possible to infiltrate even that level of defensive magic without being discovered, but in order to erase it without a trace as requested, you must clearly capture the moment the target becomes alone.

.

While quietly hiding and looking at the target, an opportunity arose.

The goal is to start entering the forest where there are few people.

It’s not just a forest, it’s going into a deep forest where the academy has banned students from entering.

Looking at the gloves or pockets, are you trying to gather herbs in the forest?

This is an opportunity that appeared quickly.

If it’s in that forest, you can easily proceed to post-processing.

Once the target entered the deep forest, he started wandering around collecting herbs.

It was written that he was presumed to be a dwarf, but his ability to collect herbs is at a high level.

After looking around for a bit, he runs and collects important herbs.

‘The job will end more easily than I thought.’

The goal is to collect herbs and go deeper and deeper.

In the deep forest, precious herbs grow, but dangerous monsters also live there.

So far, I’ve been lucky enough to not meet them, but if I go deeper, I’ll run into monsters…

If you go deeper, dispose of it neatly and throw the corpse to the monsters.

The target finds another herb and goes back behind the tree.

For a moment, it disappeared from the black crow’s sight.

It’s not such a big deal, and it’s happened several times.

Turn around and start monitoring again.

Although it looks like a bird, the black crow is not a real bird.

I spread my wings and moved to another tree to a location where I could see the target, but I couldn’t see the target.

‘Where did it disappear?’

I was a little taken aback.

I looked at the ground to see if it might have fallen in like an oyster, but I didn’t see any signs of it.

Other monsters might have taken it, so I listened closely, but there was no sign of a monster of that size nearby.

It really evaporated.

‘I can’t believe it, where the hell… ‘

“Is it gone?”

– Fast!

The right wing of the black crow, which had been transformed into a bird, was torn off shortly after.

“?!!!!!!!!”

“I’ll give you extra points for not screaming. The basics are done.”

The transformation of the black raven was released as it fell from the tree.

‘Where the hell??’

The voice, which had been heard from above, was heard in the ear as it fell, but to the horror of it, the black crow still did not see the owner of the voice.

I can feel that I grabbed the wings with my hands and ripped them off, but I can’t feel any presence from behind.

I’m sure it was behind my back, but no matter how much I turned my head, I could only hear the voice in my ear.

“Did Phrygia send you? How much money did you give Did you give me at least one island far away so I can live comfortably?”

I already know all the contents of the quest.

Was the request actually a lie?

Was I lured?

The right wing in the transformation state… The blood stopped flowing from the shoulder where his right arm had been ripped off.

I used the assassin’s secret technique to stop the bleeding, but it is still impossible to ascertain where the voice came from.

I don’t know who it is, but the black crow was sure that the level was higher than her.

The request failed.

We need to get out of here as quickly as possible.

“Doesn’t that amount of money make it worth doing a request that other kids won’t touch?”

-Suddenly!

The black crow’s left leg is broken and he falls down on the root of a tree.

Because the knife had cut off his left leg and he had no place to step.

I rolled on the ground miserably, but I haven’t stopped breathing yet.

The black crow got up somehow with one remaining leg.

“That’s why guys like you are second-rate.”

Someone was standing in front of him.

A familiar voice I heard just a moment ago…

Only then did the black crow see who was standing behind it.

“After all, if you eat… Talna was a request… Yes.”

And that was his last memory.

————————————-

Char La Phrygia opened her eyes to the cold air and the unfamiliar sensation.

“This is… ?”

The sky is not visible, so the trees are growing so thick that you can’t tell if it’s day or night.

Wet leaves and moss, hard and thick roots… Shaara Phrygia was in an unknown forest.

“Dream… is it?”

I could only think of it as a dream.

Her last memory was of her apparently asleep in her own dormitory.

She was in a well-appointed room with soothing scented candles and a soft bed…

The smell of rotten leaves, hard tree roots, and cold air makes me feel like I’m having a nightmare right now.

“Ouch!”

When she got up, she felt a sharp pain in her foot.

She must have stepped on a sharp stone, and the soft soles of her feet were bruised and bright red blood oozing out.

“A dream… No?”

“Are you awake?”

She felt a presence above her head and looked up to see someone sitting on a branch of her tree.

I couldn’t see her well because it was dark, but I could tell who it was just by hearing her voice.

Today she was so cheeky that she pissed herself off… Atlas Nemea.

“Did you… Kidnap me?”

“Yes.”

Atlas answered coolly and landed in front of Phrygia.

Shaara Phrygia was confused.

More than how Atlas kidnapped him, it was more surprising how he was still alive.

Because as soon as she came out of her private bar, she put in a request to assassinate Atlas.

‘Assured that I could finish it before sunset..!’

I’ll take care of it within tonight. Since I boasted, I should have already died, but how can I be alive?

But the question was solved pretty easily.

“Do you know who this is?”

Atlas threw what she was holding in one hand in front of Phrygia.

The black shoes rolled in front of her.

“Ankle…Ankle?”

I thought it was just a shoe, but the falling sound is heavy.

Looking closely, it was the ankle with the shoe on.

“The monsters were hungry, so I ate some. I should have picked it up with a more intact part, but I only got this one.”

Prygia understood.

The fact that those two ankles were the words of an assassin he had hired.

She couldn’t even imagine how she had become that way, but she knew that she shouldn’t panic.

“Who is this?”

“Are you fooling around here? Ah~ Yes, you don’t even know his face. You probably didn’t ask for it after seeing it in person..

But by now, you know who it is, right? I know everything, so don’t try to get away with it unnecessarily.”

The hired one is a first rate assassin.

I would have committed suicide to spit out the client’s information, but how did he know that?

‘… Given the circumstances, I’m the only one who can be commissioned, so it’s clear that I just guessed that.’

But I thought about what would be the benefit of pretending not to know the assassin, but now I came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter if I go confidently.

I didn’t do anything that would leave a trace while hiring an assassin.

It’s just Atlas’s guess that I thought I sent.

“If I hired you… Then what would you do? Hide behind Russell’s big ass again and ask him to punish you?”

-Pudeuk

There was a strange noise somewhere, but I didn’t pay attention.

The correct answer here is to go out confidently and switch places with someone you think has a weakness.

As he stood up, covered his chest, and spoke confidently, Atlas’ eyes widened.

“I don’t know where you heard that, but I don’t know

If you think what you say will harm me, you are very mistaken.”

At least to this extent, Phrygia does not have any problems.

Who would believe that Phrygia hired an assassin to try to kill her?

Does Phrygia even need to hire an assassin to kill an unknown student?

At least Russell would believe Atlas’ words, but there’s nothing wrong with that much.

Since the assassin is dead, there is no physical evidence.

At best, it will only be enough to express regret.

“Why are you angry? Hit me like Lemnos?”

Phrygia trusted her background.

I believed in the golden power to enjoy the power next to the emperor in the empire.

Intangible power spreads everywhere just by a family ruling. Power controls people with just a word or two.

Golden Ball is not a superman, but an ordinary person, but many superhumans move with his gestures.

What is Russell and what is Lemnos?

In the end, it is the weak majority, not the strong individual, that moves the world.

And what drives it is power, not force.

Atlas is approaching with strides.

Now look, Lemnos and Atlas too get excited and can’t hit you after all…

-Pair!!!

Fireworks exploded in front of my eyes.

“Uh…Uh…”

My vision and my head were dyed pure white as if fireworks had exploded.

When she came to her senses, she was sitting on top of rotten leaves.

Your cheeks are hot.

“Blood..?”

When I put my hand on his soft face, blood flowed out of his mouth.

It looks like his mouth has been ripped off.

I am confused about what happened.

It was impossible to think properly because my head was shaking.

I felt a burning pain on my cheek as I came back to my senses that had gradually flown away.

I couldn’t even get up properly and was touching my cheek in a daze when Atlas came closer and closer.

“Wake up”

“What… To me…?”

What the hell is going on? Did you really hit me?

Prygia?

How are you going to cover this?

I don’t understand.

What do you believe in the subject of a hidden child who is not the firstborn of Nemea and is not rumored anywhere?

It was very confusing, but Atlas did not stop.

“You crazy bitch to hit me.”

– Tight!!

“Hey?!”

My hair hurts.

I snatched her proud silky blonde hair and lifted it up.

Tears welled up at the pain she felt on her scalp.

“If you clenched your teeth, your molars will break.”

“What??”

-Pair!!!

Again, white sparks fly in her head.

“Again.. I hit you again..! Twice..!!”

“Damn it.”

-Pair!!!

-Pair!!!

-Pair!!!

-Pair!!!

The flame-like slapping continued beyond count.

It hurts.

I can’t think of anything else.

Every time Atlas strikes his hand, his face turns and white lightning strikes in his head.

After that, only the pain felt in her face and neck remains.

Frygia’s face is already messed up.

Her white face was swollen like a tomato, a few strands of blood vessels in her eyes were bursting red, and blood flowed out of her mouth.

Curiously, she doesn’t have any broken teeth, but her head is so shaken that she can’t even stand on her own, and is held limply in Atlas’ hand.

“You… You know who I am…”

I don’t know what kind of courage she had to say, but it flowed unconsciously from her mouth.

“I know you well”

As I climbed into Atlas’ grasp, I met his eyes.

“A bastard who can’t even grasp the situation.”

The eyes, which were like the blue sea, looked dark like a deep abyss, perhaps because they were shadowed.

“Do you know where this is? It’s the deepest place in the deep forest. Even the professors can’t enter this far.”

“Here… The machine…?”

Her Phrygia raised her hair, and Atlas pushed her against her log, gently placing her right fist on her log.

As I adjusted the angle of her left hand holding her hair, her gaze was driven down and directed to her hand, which was forcibly placed on a log.

Atlas pounded the log slowly with his knuckle fist, as if knocking on it.

What the hell are you trying to do?

The question was quickly resolved.

“Does the crazy bitch really tell me to kill him as soon as he turns around?”

-Poo Woo Woo!!

Immediately after the words were over, Atlas’s right arm was sucked into the log with a thud.

A deep hole was drilled in a thick log.

It is a very strange sight.

I put my arms through this hard log as if I was making holes in soft bread.

“If you kill yourself here and throw the corpse as food for the monsters, will people know you’re dead?”

Atlas’s fist lightly tapped Phrygia’s abdomen as if knocking.

The thumping beat reminds me of a hole in a log.

I tapped slowly and slowly, just like I did with the log earlier.

As if to remember this sense, this rhythm.

“Tell me cheekily as usual. Why should I let you live?”

It didn’t hurt like being hit on the cheek, but Phrygia’s face turned white.

It didn’t hurt to hit it with her fist, but it reminded me of the scene where her log was punched every time she hit it in a certain rhythm.

Atlas’s attitude of taking time and time again made the log assigned to him.

Tuk tuk

I could vividly feel the cold, hard fist on her stomach, which was wearing only her thin nightgown.
