I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Party Breakup?

“Aww!”

“Be quiet!”

The assistant screams in excruciating pain.

However, Luisa Falken only strokes his hand as if trying to calm the assistant.

“Yes, Bennett. Are you ready to speak now?”

“Ouch… I’m really sorry… ”

A teaching assistant who sheds tears in pain, but still expresses his injustice.

Luisa wraps his index finger this time.

“Uh… That’s not the answer I want.”

Kwajik.

“Ouch!”

Again, his index finger crumbles.

The assistant, unable to overcome the pain, foams at his mouth.

“Ouch, my, please… ”

An assistant who is panting and begs for mercy.

Luisa Falken smiles deeply.

“Slowly, slowly! Aren’t the remaining fingers still enough?”

At her words, the teaching assistant is terrified.

I have come to realize that this can never go unnoticed.

Even so, the assistant did not hesitate to speak.

Thinking of the pain of crushing my finger, I wanted to tell it rather.

If he confessed the truth, first of all, the Epsilt family would retaliate.

After that, retaliation will come from the Red Mage Tower, where the heir almost died.

Obviously, I thought it was just handing over emergency food.

How did things turn out this way? As an assistant, he was going crazy.

He wasn’t stupid either.

On the night he handed over the sack to Leo Epsilt, Louis Wallenstein and his party members were attacked by magical beasts abnormally.

First of all, I heard rumors that the party members claimed that it was the work of Leo Epsilt.

So it was easy to guess what Leo Epsilt did with the bag he had handed over.

“You seem to have a lot of trouble. Let me ease your worries.”

Luisa gently wraps the assistant’s middle finger.

The assistant was clenching his fist, struggling to keep his fingers from being caught.

Naturally, it was of no use in the face of Luisa Falken’s power.

The assistant holding the finger flinched.

“Now, wait.”

Kwajik.

“Haagh!”

The teaching assistant rolled on the floor, but Luisa still held his hand.

“I think you’ve heard of it already.”

Louisa Falken speaks calmly while watching the scene.

“The instructors said they tried to find out the situation as soon as the signal from the necklace of Cadet Louis Wallenstein and his party members was cut off.”

At the time, many of the academy’s professors, and even the president, Louisa Falken, were all in secret laboratories.

It was enough for the remaining ones to notice the strange change in Louis’ party.

“And then, the one closest to you was instructed to check them out. But you were not in the designated location.”

Because of that, even though the signal on the necklace was cut off.

Louis and the party members who had been attacked could not be identified immediately.

The teaching assistant who received the role left and met Leo, and he was still in the process of returning to his original position.

“I really wonder what you were doing.”

Because of the pain that exceeded the limit, I was shaking my body.

The assistant closed her eyes tightly.

There is no evidence, but the president is now convinced.

You can’t get out of this place until you confess.

While cursing himself for selling his life for a few pennies.

He said gasping for breath, rolling his head, which he couldn’t turn well in pain.

“I will tell you everything… I’ll tell you everything… Please keep what I said in secret… ”

“Ah, no. Aren’t you the one making the proposal here?”

Next is the ring finger.

Unlike before, give me strength.

Take your time and crush his fingers slowly.

“Ahhh! My, turn it off, uhhhh! Noah!”

The teaching assistant screams and moves his hand around to get it out.

To no avail, Louisa Falken shatters his ring finger slowly.

“Hey, could this have worked better?”

“Please don’t! I will tell you everything!”

The teacher shouts desperately.

“Okay, good posture.”

Luisa Falken smiles brightly.

The teaching assistant began to explain from the beginning with a sobbing moan.

He received money from Leo Epsilt.

He promised to receive more money if he delivered the sealed sack and hand it over during the internship.

Because Leo Epsilt told me never to open the sack.

Also, since the entrance to the sack was sealed, I thought it was just emergency food or a spare weapon and didn’t check it.

Soon, the practical evaluation begins.

He secretly hid the sack and brought it into the practice evaluation area in the Dark Forest.

Meeting with cadet Leo Epsilt and handing the sack to him.

Leo Epsilt even said that the contents of the sack were food and a compass.

Without hiding or lying, he confessed to Luisa as he was.

That he couldn’t refuse because he was afraid of the power of the Duke of Epsilt.

Or the story of receiving money is moderately subtracted.

I could have mixed up such excuses and lies.

The pain now discourages him, and he is terrified that, if suspected, the torture might begin again.

As a result, Louisa Falken was able to hear everything the assistant knew.

She smiled contentedly.

“Excellent, Mr. Bennet.”

“Huh, huh… ”

At the thought that it was finally over, he breaks down and bursts into tears.

But, of course, this wasn’t the end.

“Now, look here.”

What Louisa Falken pushed at him was something familiar even to the teaching assistant.

Artifact with video recording function.

“I just heard the testimony. So, let’s repeat it now. please?”

Louisa Falken smiles again.

Of course, the teaching assistant was trembling.

The moment that video was taken, he could not live in the Empire.

No, you just can’t buy it.

The moment the video was taken and it went outside, he said he was dead.

Of course, there is no way the academy will protect you.

Even if he could stay inside the academy, he would probably be assassinated.

As a sign of weak resistance, the teaching assistant shook his head and said, “Please don’t do that.”

Quad Duck.

“Aww!”

Perhaps it was a nuisance, but this time it was Luisa who just grabbed the assistant’s hand and smashed it.

“Why are you crying? I wonder if people who watch the video will misunderstand.”

Luisa Falken wipes the tears from her eyes with her sleeve.

“Come on, let’s laugh. Talk like me! yes, so great… Let’s start now!”

with a bizarre expression on her face.

Teaching assistant, Bennett, opened his mouth slowly.

—

Luisa Falken leaves the room with a smile on her face.

The room was not particularly soundproofed, so it was difficult for the instructors to manage their expressions when they saw the president.

Either way, she walks down the hallway with the necklace in her hand.

For a moment, his face frowned.

While walking down the hallway pretending to walk casually.

As soon as he turns the corner to make sure no one is there, he gasps and grabs his chest.

“hahaha, hahaha… ”

She rummaged through her arms with trembling hands.

Soon, I took out a case from my inner pocket.

He took a pill out of it with an urgent hand and put it in his mouth.

Since there is no such thing as water, she chews it and swallows it.

After a while, she was able to move again.

—

smart.

As a representative, I knocked on the door of Professor John’s office.

Professor John called me and our party members into a group.

Probably to inquire about work in the secret lab.

I had already been called and explained everything, but maybe that wasn’t enough.

Is there something I want to ask you when all five of us are here?

“Come in.”

While I was thinking like that, I heard Professor John’s voice from inside.

I opened the door.

When we’re all in, Professor John opens his mouth.

“Yeah, it’s no different that I called you… ”

However, the words that came out of his mouth were not what I expected.

“… Now that the practical evaluation is over, I want to inform you that the temporary party can be disbanded.”

Ah, I thought so.

After returning from the practical evaluation and school trip, although quite a bit of time has passed.

Because of Leo Epsilt’s work, I forgot about this.

Glancing at the other party members.

Veronica was biting her lip.

Felice also had an expression on her face as if she was ready.

Both had sad faces.

“Well, I just recommend that you continue to work as it is. What will everyone do?”

Although Professor John was asking all of us.

Veronica and Felice had their gazes down on the floor, and Master and Aine were looking at me as if they were asking me to decide.

For a moment, take a nap.

I turned to the party members and said,

“Well… If everyone is okay with it, I think it would be good for us to continue our activities like this.”

Yeah, the first time I was banished, I didn’t want to see each other again because of my anger and betrayal.

To put it bluntly, in a situation where Leo Epsilt became an enemy rather than an ally.

In the face of the Demon King, throwing away the two who will later become members of the Hero Party is a stupid choice.

By the way, going through this incident, I felt a sense of camaraderie with the two of them after a long time.

Anyway, when Veronica and Felice heard my words, their eyes widened as if they were startled.

Because they both looked at me like they couldn’t believe it with their moved faces.

Being embarrassed for nothing, I shrugged my shoulders and looked away.

It was Master who broke this awkward atmosphere.

“If only Louis is okay, then I am fine!”

Saying that, Aine followed suit and opened her mouth.

“I think I like it too!”

As the three of us expressed our consent, Professor John looked at Felice and Veronica.

First, Veronica opens her mouth.

“that… Go, no… I like me too, of course… ”

Stuttering Veronica.

Finally, Felice opens his mouth.

“I-I can do that… Joe, that’s good.”

So, let’s all five say yes.

Professor John looked at us with a strange, somewhat agitated expression.

“Yeah, I see. Then I’ll register you as an official party like this. Go now.”
