chapter 94
International Students in the Academy
“deal?”
Leonhardt asked as if curiously.
Mary nodded in reply.
“I will guarantee your identity in Gileon Kingdom. I will take responsibility and send you to the empire.”
“You don’t really need it?”
“… It is a long way from the Gileon Kingdom to the Lucia Empire. Besides, do you think the people of the Empire will believe that you are Leonhard Epsylt?”
Leonhard was hot-tempered, but he calmed down and thought for a moment.
“Uh… exactly… ”
Certainly, if you think about it coldly, the woman in front of you who believes that she is Leonhard Epsylt may be peculiar.
“Whether it’s to find someone, or to play and eat as you say… Or, to return to your family and find your place. Wouldn’t you need a new identity?”
It was Mary who wanted to persuade Leonhard at this time.
“Well. I think that would suffice as an appropriate adventurer status.”
“There’s no reason to take the hard road when we can make you a royal guest of the kingdom.”
Besides, Mary adds.
“I don’t know if you intend to return to your family or not. At least, you cannot enter Hellon Academy as an ordinary adventurer.”
“If anyone dares to stop me… ”
All you have to do is throw it away.
Leonhardt simply thought so.
“If you use force, the easy life you talked about would be impossible, at least in the Empire. Until he is recognized as Leonhard Epsilt.”
Mary claps her hands and says,
“Again, there is no need to go the hard way, right? The word “transaction” sounds like a burden, but it’s actually not a big deal.”
Leonhard nodded as if to continue.
Mary smiled inwardly.
After the necklace was stolen.
Naturally, the prisoners tried to catch the thief.
The problem is that the thief escaped to the academy.
At first, the thief tried to kidnap the moment he left the academy, but the thief never left the academy again.
The president of the academy and even the imperial family expressed their reluctance to hand over the thief.
A spy was planted at the academy under the name of an international student, albeit belatedly, but the thief had already disappeared.
More than 10 years have passed since then.
lately.
Perhaps he had a complacent thought that the pursuit had stopped, and the thief appeared again.
But this time, Gale Halls threatens his throne.
It was Mary, who was unable to move quickly because of the spy he had sent.
However, if you can send this guy to the academy…
Mary opens her mouth.
“I will admit you to Helon Academy as an international student. There… ”
—
“You didn’t say anything useless, did you?”
“Yeah, that’s right! But, I think they are suspicious of us.”
Elin said in a trembling voice.
Leo looked at Elin with an annoyed look.
That night.
After Elin took the item from Leo.
When she returned, the bag containing the powder was empty.
It was even confirmed that the device was used there.
I could definitely hear the cries and explosions of the beasts in the distance.
Have you not seen the flames burn, mana explodes, and flashes of light?
And crucially, both Louis Wallenstein and his party members were injured and hospitalized.
In particular, Guy Louis was hospitalized for a while after the practical evaluation was over.
In other words, at least Elin did what he was told.
The attack of the demons was also real, but Louis and the party members returned alive.
‘How the hell?’
Were there only those who had weaker demons than they thought?
Or was it that the academy professor was nearby by chance?
Could it be that there was a problem with the plan he had made?
No, no.
The plan was perfect.
Elin This bitch must have done something wrong.
It was Leo who repeated himself like that.
Otherwise, it seemed like I couldn’t stand it because I was annoyed.
“I, Leo… ”
Elin cautiously calls out her name.
“What.”
Elin was taken aback by the frown on her face, but she mustered up the courage to say it.
“The promise I made then… ”
“shut up!”
Leo screams and raises his hand.
He grabs Elin by the neck and shouts.
“I ruined everything for four years, are you making that kind of noise now!”
Erin had expected this to be the case.
Because it didn’t seem like Leo Epsilt was going to keep his promise.
Although Elin is obediently bowing down to Leo because of orders, she is also an elf.
Leo’s behavior was getting more and more unbearable.
So, although she raises her voice after a long time.
“You lied to me in the first place! They said it was a potion of pain!”
“Ha, so what.”
It was Leo who came out completely shameless.
“If I tell you this, I won’t be the only one in trouble, right? No, you didn’t do it in the first place.”
Elin was speechless at the sight of blaming the fault on herself.
“Now, because of someone, things have failed, and you’re talking like a promise.”
Like it or not, it was Leo who mumbled words that upset Elin.
“Anyway, watch your mouth.”
With that warning, Leo moved on.
Looking at his back, Elin clenched her fists.
That night.
Hearing the continuous binge drinking, he stayed up all night regretting what he had done.
Hearing the news that Louis and the party members had been hospitalized, he regretted it to the bone.
At the same time, I was relieved that they were not dead.
As I was relieved, I thought that Leo was going to make a fuss with this again.
How could that man not deviate from his expectations at all?
—
Leo Epsilt thumped into Professor John Hatton’s office.
It will be fine.
He didn’t say anything during the school trip.
Last day of school trip.
When I think of Louis, who was calmly enjoying the beach with the party members in a better state, his anger grew.
However, at least now is not the time to think about Louis Wallenstein.
The professors apparently called all the cadets in turns.
For some reason, it was difficult to erase the anxiety that this interview seemed to have targeted him from the beginning.
In particular, didn’t Elin just say that?
The professor seems to be suspicious of them.
‘No, no.’
Leo shakes his head.
There is no evidence.
There was nothing stamped on the necklace, and the sack and machinery that would serve as evidence were buried far away.
No matter how much it is an academy, it is impossible to find it.
So, let’s take heart.
Leo finally reaches Professor John’s office.
Smart, he knocks on the door.
“Come in.”
When Leo opened the door, Professor John was sitting inside.
“Yes, Cadet Leo Epsylt. Please sit down.”
Professor John was expressionless, but his eyes were shining.
As Leo sat down, a few ceremonial questions passed.
Professor John immediately asks a blatant question.
“That night, your party was nearby. The necklace was unnaturally still.”
“Tell me honestly. The Louis Wallenstein cadet is suspicious of you. Do you have anything to say about this?”
“In order for you to deliberately remove or harm the students of other parties… ”
“That sounds absurd!”
At Professor John’s next words, Leo gets angry and gets up.
However, Professor John just looked at Leo with a cold expression.
For a moment, without saying a word, their eyes met.
“Yeah, I see. You can go out.”
bang!
It was Leo Epsilt, who closed the door and left the office, cheering.
Professor John sits in a chair, closes his eyes, and organizes his thoughts.
After a while, the door to the office opens, this time without a knock.
“Okay, how are you?”
The one who came in was the academy’s president, Luisa Falken.
Professor John briefly answers her question.
“It was all denied.”
“Hmm, is that so… ”
Asking Professor John, sitting in a chair, supporting his head with his hands.
“What are you going to do?”
However, he didn’t say anything about his attitude, which could even be called rude.
Instead, Louisa Falken answers with a shrug.
“I’ll have to think about it from now on.”
After a short conversation, Louisa leaves Professor John’s office.
Eventually, she headed to the basement of the building.
She walks toward a door in the middle of a long hallway.
The two academy instructors who were guarding the room looked at the president and straightened up.
“Sir, are you here?”
“Yeah, how about that?”
“The interrogation continues, but they are still stubbornly denying it… ”
“I guess so.”
Before the instructor can finish talking, Louisa Falken opens the door.
Inside is the teaching assistant who passed the sack to Leo that night.
The instructors said they were still interrogating him.
Needless to say, the assistant was in good shape.
“ha… ”
Louisa Falken sighs lightly.
“Second, President!”
The teaching assistant gets up from his seat.
“President, I feel really unfair! Why was I brought here… ”
He approaches Luisa and expresses his resentment.
“… Please, I really don’t know what’s going on!”
A teaching assistant kneeling in front of Louisa and begging.
Looking at the assistant like that, Luisa Falken gently grabbed his hand and wrapped it warmly with both hands.
“Ah, yes. I understand.”
“Go, thank you!”
A feeling of relief appeared on the assistant’s face at the same time.
Kwajik.
“aah!”
“Still, you said you were once a colleague, so my men seem to be treating you with a gentlemanly attitude.”
First of all, the assistant’s thumb was broken.
