Academy Slave Instructor

162 – Lady Luck

Lady Luck

“Hello, Headmaster.”

Rye enters without knocking and calls out to Selenas in a bright voice.

She comes in with a smile on her face and sees Rai approaching her instead of heading for her exclusive seat, the sofa, she narrowly opens her eyes.

It was a routine thing for him to come into the dean’s office casually, but whenever he greeted me with such a bright voice, he always wanted something.

“I want you to change the contract.”

This is also different from usual.

If he wants something, he will come to me like a cat, act cute, and then quietly reveal his true feelings.

Noticing that she is in a bit of a hurry, Selenas leans back in her chair leisurely.

“What is it that makes you so horny? What clause do you want to change?”

Her red lips smile strangely.

However, Rai’s next words were serious enough to be dismissed as a joke.

“Please remove the activity range.”

“… I hear you want to leave the Empire, am I right?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m going to take a little vacation.”

Selenas frowns her fine eyebrows as she sees Rai talking nonchalantly.

There was no way he would make such a request without reason.

After a moment of contemplation as he met her eyes, Selenas spoke in a calm voice.

“Could you elaborate a bit more?”

“As much as you like.”

Rai tells her about Abigail.

She didn’t talk about it until the inside, but she left the academy to get revenge, and she demanded that the scope of activity limited to Legandia be removed in order for her to be brought back.

However, even Selenas had no choice but to bear this demand.

She brought him on the condition that she would have the demons of the world sit quietly in her academy, so she was beyond her powers.

If she had been active as the backbone of a country, she would surely know this fact.

Rai was now asking her to go beyond her authority.

She was Selena’s, who smiled casually and had a mean-looking face.

Selena, who was lost in her thoughts as she tapped her table with her finger, let out a small sigh and smiled strangely.

“What will I gain if I get rid of scope?”

“Don’t worry. I’m afraid I’ll forget the school principal’s gift while I’m on a trip. The Bell Union is famous for silk. I’ll buy you a nice silk dress as a gift.”

Selena laughs at Rai’s words that she will deftly use it as a travel gift.

“And we’ll make sure we don’t lose talented academy students.”

“That’s nice.”

“Also- I will protect the honor of the academy.”

The honor of the academy is in a bad state due to the case of stealing the holy relics of the Ketel Church.

If Abigail is not stopped here, the academy will be suspected of not managing the academy students properly.

Selenas, the current head of the academy, had to bear all of those doubts and criticism.

But she knew the incident before it happened, so she didn’t have to send him away.

The Empire is full of great talent, and Selena was able to ask them a favor.

“And what? Any more?”

Her comment was enough, but Selenas looks at her greedily and meets her eyes with Rai.

“Um… I don’t have much anymore. Shall I give you a deep kiss?”

“Oh, are you trying to seduce me and manipulate me?”

“The so-called honey trap.”

Rai smirks and shrugs her shoulders.

Selena, liking his answer, chuckles and pulls out her contract from her drawer.

“As you know, you can’t get caught outside. You and I can get into trouble. Especially if your identity is found out in a foreign country, be sure to remove it. Whoever it is. The deadline can be up to one month, within that time limit. You must come back.”

“It’s a little tight. But you couldn’t ask for more here.”

Lai nodded his head after thinking about the time he went through the old Kaylan kingdom and went to the Bell Union.

When Rai, who has just renewed his contract, is about to leave the academy director’s office, Selenas looks at him and says,

“Ask for our academy students.”

Lai stopped walking and thought for a moment, then looked back with a bright smile.

“Don’t worry, I’ll bring you back if you slap me on the ass.”

* * *

Returning home, Rai puts his belongings on the saddle of the Black Horse.

While he is firmly tying the rope, Diana, dressed in simple women’s clothing, approaches.

“Raikang, take me too.”

“I’m not going to play.”

“I know, you’re dragging Abigail by the end of her hair? Isn’t that what I’m for?”

Diana laughs and slaps Rai on the shoulder.

“I’ll go too.”

Rai looked back and saw Philia riding her horse into the garden.

“Where did you get the horse?”

“Rent it from the academy so that the academy students can practice. This time… It’s a little longer.”

Philia strokes the hair of Piyo, who has been with her since her equestrian competition.

Rai, who was looking at her suspiciously, sighed and got on her horse.

“I can’t afford to look after you guys. If I can’t follow you, I’ll go back on my own. And I might have to fight Abigail and her life.”

“It’s something I do every day.”

Philia doesn’t think much of it, and Diana nods her head and climbs onto Rai’s back.

“Why are you riding there?”

“Huh? I mean it’s for short distances only, so it’s not suitable for long trips.”

“Get in my piyo.”

“Eh- isn’t a black horse stronger to carry two people?”

“Then you ride the peyo, I’ll ride the black horse.”

“You’re heartless. Didn’t you just pet Piyo so lovingly?”

Zeroa enters the garden while the two are fighting.

Seeing him carrying a large bag on his back, Diana smiles broadly.

“Ah, the Philia partner has appeared. We can ride together.”

I don’t know what he’s talking about, so when Zeroa stares blankly at him, Rai smiles at him.

“Are you going with me?”

“Yes, it may not be of much help, but I hope Miss Abigail will not go astray.”

“Revenge is not a bad thing.”

“Yes, but as it is, people will call me a simple murderer. I don’t want Miss Abigail to be called that.”

Zeroa, who is determined and answers properly, is admirable. Not only Rai, but also Diana and Filia look down at him with a happy gaze.

“Ah… Uh… Why, why?”

Since she is still a timid character, the strong look in her eyes quickly disappeared.

“Tara.”

“Kyaa, I was pushed by Zeroa.”

Hearing Diana’s mischievous crying voice, Zeroa stuffs her own bag into her black horse and climbs on.

“But how are you going to cross the border?”

“Do any of you have a permit?”

“……”

When Rai asked back Zeroa’s question, only Diana raised her hand.

Zero Ah, who had never been abroad, naturally did not even apply, and Philia, who could not borrow her family name, was unlikely to have a permit.

“Are you going to start by dropping the two from the beginning? That would be nice.”

“Neither do I.”

“Eh- But why are you so confident? Am I going alone?”

Diana is taken aback by Rai’s words.

“Well- it’s called infiltration training. As long as you can avoid the eyes of the elite soldiers guarding the border, you can pass through anywhere.”

“If we can’t do it, we’ll be arrested right away, right?”

“Training requires that level of tension. Training is like a real fight.”

“It’s not like a real fight, it’s a real fight.”

When Diana grumbles, Rai shrugs her shoulders.

“Or… Maybe a lucky lady who knows everything will show up.”

Rai finishes her speech and looks back at her.

“Am I Lady Luck? It’s an undeserved honor.”

“Lia~!”

As Emilia smiled and said, Diana jumped off her horse and was hugged by her.

Philia and Zeroa also got off their horses and were polite, but Rai looked down at Emilia from the top of her horse.

“What will Lady Luck give me?”

She just came out after talking with Selena, but Emilia came to see her as if she already knew.

She couldn’t tell if it was a coincidence or if the system was fast, but the fact that she appeared meant that in that short time she had listened to all the conversations in the academy’s janitor’s room and even planned how to use it.

Emilia laughed lightly at Rai’s wary eyes, feeling that she was responding faster than she thought.

“A military map with detailed information and a permit. A different status.”

“Is it okay for the princess to commit illegal acts?”

“It’s not illegal. It’s a disguised identity for the imperial family in case of an emergency.”

Zeroa simply nodded her head, saying that there is such a thing, but Philia and Diana knew how much Emilia had given up.

The permit that Emilia gives you is an insurance policy for just in case.

She only knew the emperor and the chancellor she issued, but she was able to pass through anywhere.

It makes it easier for her to escape to a foreign country when her life is in danger, but it is disposable as she can be tracked after using it once.

Philia assumed two reasons for Emilia’s giving away her license.

I am in love with Rai, the devil of the world.

The relationship between Abigail and Emilia was nothing.

Even if she simply sympathizes with the same academy student, she is not to the point of giving up one of her lifelines.

Then, what was left was the external evaluation that he could do this far for Rai’s favor and Abigail.

If this is known, it will gain the attention of those who admire the hero.

It was clear that academy students who had no political experience at the academy would be impressed by this story.

It was Philia who had a vague idea why her father, the Infante, called her her cunning fox.

The last reason was that she did not have to go abroad.

There is always a danger next to her, who is no different from a political collapse.

In an emergency, she would need at least one lifeline to escape to a foreign country, but willingly giving it away was an expression of her will to remain in her empire and carry on her will.

The reasons are different, but both are aiming for the right of succession.

She pretended not to be interested until now, she played the defeated underdog, but now she was revealing her ambitions.

Philia, who noticed everything with her small actions, decided that she should check later on how the relationship between Rai and Emilia was.

“I’ll write well anyway.”

“Yes, please bring Miss Abigail to the academy.”

“Sounds that I don’t like. I owe you one, so put it on.”

Rai laughed at Emilia’s words and drove her horse away from the garden.

The other children also greet Emilia and leave after her rai, and their figures fade away.

Then Sierra appears from a corner of a building far away.

Although she belongs to the intelligence department, she has been under pressure from Rai and has been monitoring him. She watches everything and sees Emilia with her cold eyes.

“……”

At the same time, Emilia’s head turned to look at Sierra.

‘Did we just make eye contact?’

Sierra quickly hid her body, but her dilated pupils gave expression to her embarrassment.

She attends the academy, but she is an exile, and her skills are lower than that of an ordinary soldier, Emilia.

But she noticed her presence and it made no sense to meet her eyes.

“Are you all right?”

Sierra turns her head in surprise at her cold voice.

“Your expression is not good.”

In terms of facial expression, Leyla, who was talking to her now, was worse.

Sierra nervously looked down at the sword at Leila’s waist at the chilly expression that seemed to contain no human emotions.

Instructors do not carelessly carry weapons.

You don’t even have a weapon right now.

This meant that Leyla saw herself as the enemy, and if she attacked, she would be defenseless.

“You don’t have to be nervous.”

Hearing the cold voice of Layla and the warm and benevolent voice of Emilia, her opposite, Sierra looks back in surprise.

Emilia greets her with her gentle smile and her small bow of her head as if she is cute in her startled surprise.

“Hello, Instructor Sierra… No, nice to meet you. Sierra from the Ministry of Information.”

“……”

“You don’t have to ask how I knew. You were perfect, and it was by chance that I found out who you were.”

It didn’t matter how she knew. The fact that she was revealed was the only thing that mattered.

As Sierra looks around her with her wary eyes, Layla takes a step to her side and takes her position.

Sierra let out her small, trembling breath as it seemed that her retreat was all blocked just because she had moved her seat.

“You seem uneasy. But if you run away from here, won’t there be a more uneasy future?”

At Emilia’s words, Sierra swallowed her saliva.

She doesn’t know how far she knows, but Emilia was right.

The story that his identity was revealed meant that his value was lost.

Not just an order from the Ministry of Intelligence, but an order from their own political battle. Being worthless meant that her existence had to be erased in order to keep her secret.

“I discovered it by chance, but it was really hard to figure out who was on it.”

Emilia sits on the benches around her and speaks peacefully.

She looked like a girl who innocently said that the weather was nice if you watched from the side.

Seeing Leyla cast soundproofing magic around her, Emilia continues her words.

“I never thought Endo’s brother would have an impact on the neutral intelligence department. You’re more powerful than I thought.”

“I have no information to give. Kill me.”

“No, I have no desire to harm Sierra.”

Emilia bent her body and rested her chin on her hand as if observing Sierra.

“Shall we make a deal?”

“……”

“Miss Sierra, the outcome is more important than the content of the deal, right? If I refuse, my brother will kill Sierra against my will. If you agree, you’ll have a little bit of hope. And you’ll get the freedom you want. “

Sierra, who had been watching her Emilia as she watched her rai, realized that she had been wrong all this time.

She was not a flower in a greenhouse.

She had a tempting fragrance and beautiful petals, but the stems inside were strong and unbreakable.

But just because she said that didn’t mean her fate would change.

Sierra shook her head with a fleeting smile.

“Thank you for your words, but I…”

“You said you could get freedom, right? I’ll break the chains that bind you. That’s why you’re loyal to your brother as a commoner, right?”

“……”

“I told you. It was too hard to investigate. I’ll loosen the chains, so fly away.”

Emilia smiles brightly.

Her smile looked so radiant that Sierra fell in love with her sweet offer without answering.
