I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

24 – The academy that abandoned me clings to me

Wizards are considered the most honorable job on the continent of Pangea.

Even if you don’t intend to get a job somewhere, the public perception is that it’s better to have a magician’s license.

To put it in perspective, it was the same as Earth’s education level.

No matter how much money you have, just as middle school graduates are quietly ignored, the value system that you belong to the upper class only when you have culture and wealth at the same time existed on the continent of Pangea.

That was the reason nobles, politicians, and merchants enrolled their children in the academy.

Most of the parents of the students attending the academy were giants ruling the world in their own way.

Whether it is the king, the chancellor, the head of a merchant or guild.

They have been very busy since yesterday, who must have been happy in life to say, “My sons and daughters entered the academy this time” and receiving envious glances.

Because a precious child was in danger of dying.

The eyes of the giants of the world were fixed on a young blue man named Faust.

Funny enough, the king and the prime minister had no choice but to look at Faust.

Because the lives of all academy students now depend on one Faust—.

-smart.

“Come on in.”

“… Oh, how are you? I’m busy, but I don’t know if you’re rude.”

“Well, not really busy. There are too many presents, so there is not enough time to open them one by one.”

When I woke up in the morning, the boxes were piled up like a mountain.

The trauma of receiving hate letters almost came back, but this time, on the contrary, there were gifts and letters full of affection, so I was opening them one by one.

But to my surprise, Giotto Geobert came to my office with a body that hadn’t healed yet.

I heard that he barely survived after being treated by the great sage, but his left arm was still wrapped in a bandage.

“What is it? Would you like some tea?”

“Oh, no, the car is over. I’m busy, but I don’t want to disturb you.”

“I’m not too busy either. I have nothing to do.”

“no… Since you are in a position to fight a dragon, shouldn’t you prepare in many ways?”

“Sigh?”

A drop of cold sweat ran down Giotto’s scalp.

Wherever this bastard dares to go, he is proceeding with the story as he pleases.

“When did I say I was fighting a dragon?”

“… Aren’t you a warrior If you don’t act, the academy will be wiped out. It means that the disciples of the special tower are all dead.”

“Are you going to threaten me with my students right now?”

“Oh, how can that be, man? Don’t listen to the song. I mean we all got on the same boat. right?”

“Ah, that’s not it. Have you heard of the blessing of the holy sword?”

“Seo, if it’s the blessing of the holy sword… ”

“The one who holds the holy sword is immune to all kinds of curses. It’s a warrior’s privilege. Anyway, I’ll be alive and well after 7 days. How did I get on the same boat as you guys?”

“… … … … … greatness!”

Giotto cleared his throat as if his throat was burning.

You can see that he regrets not letting the car out.

“By the way, what are you doing in the special tower? You’re being nursed by the disciples at the proud Magi Tower, right?”

“The Magi Tower no longer exists… Didn’t it disappear without a form, as you know? Those who belong to Magi Tower live in tents on the lawn. I wanted to discuss that issue, but aren’t there a lot of empty rooms in the special tower? If you allow it, I would like the students of Magi Tower to live in the vacant room… How is it?”

“Ah, that’s kind of right. Isn’t this an act that goes against the will of the founders to clearly separate the areas of the magic towers? We’ll just live by ourselves.”

“You will fall. The special tower is a part of the academy. In fact, isn’t the specialty tower the epicenter of free ideas? If the Magi Tower produces students who are measured like a ruler like a factory, then the Specialty Tower is the hometown of unique geniuses like elusive clouds. Now that I come to terms with it, everything I said about the special tower in a bad way was out of inferiority complex. I’m serious.”

“Oh yes.”

Really desperate.

I get goosebumps because I think even the bouquet Giotto sent is hidden somewhere in this pile of boxes.

“I am indeed Faust! What can I do with you… I will recommend you as a sage!”

“Sage?”

“yes! A while ago, a sage named Zero Reset announced his retirement, leaving a vacancy. How is it? Speaking of wise men, there are only five wizards on the entire continent, and they are the highest peak of wizards. Even I haven’t even dreamed of becoming a sage yet. How is it?”

“Um… Well?”

If you consider the ranks of wizards, such as apprentice, low class, intermediate class, high class, arch wizard, sage, and great sage, the sage is almost the pinnacle.

Except for the great sage, everyone is below him.

But I’m already a warrior, so I don’t need that kind of unconventional status again.

“I’m not really interested… ”

“Then what do you want, Faust? Just tell me anything!”

“Hey, Professor Giobert… Do you know how it gives me goosebumps when I suddenly flirt? The person who was arguing with me until yesterday. You can see their intentions down to the bone.”

“… Faust. please… That’s how we all die please please Can I get down on my knees?”

“okay okay. I’ll think about it, so get out.”

“Faust!”

“Go out. Any more soggy can negatively affect my judgment. You know what I mean?”

“… … … … … … … ”

Giotto trembled with his hands tightly clasped, then quietly moved on.

The moment the door opened, Petra, who was about to enter, met his eyes and there was an awkward silence.

Anger rises just by looking at each other’s faces, but Giotto couldn’t have the courage to quarrel with Petra right here.

In the end, the head of the Magi Tower with a high level of retardation left the office lonely.

“What do you say? that person.”

“It’s obvious. They came to convince them to fight the dragon in order to save their lives.”

“Oh yeah? Outside right now, the students of Magi Tower and Shinto Tower are gathering together to make a hymn praising Professor Faust. It seems that parents are planning a plan to organize a meeting and make a huge donation to Professor Faust.”

“yes? Everyone is busy.”

“It looks dead, so it’s natural. Money is not an issue.”

Petra said that she put a barrier magic on the window to prevent delivery vultures from approaching without end of solicitation letters.

“If all the academy students die, the world’s royalty and aristocrats will have a long line of mourning. I’m sure there will be a dynasty whose price is cut off.”

“I guess so.”

“What are you going to do?”

-how will we do it.

It’s not me, isn’t it a problem for you guys to worry about?

“… I can’t. This curse is too strong. I can’t seem to get it off.”

—Among the wizards belonging to the Mage Tower, the number one person who is unrivaled in removing curse magic raised a white flag, and the people who had high expectations poured out their sighs at once.

I paid a whopping 100,000 shillings and barely invited, but saying ‘I can’t do it’ is all I can say.

“The magical power of dragons is very different from that of humans. If that was a curse that the Dragon King himself imposed, humans would not be able to solve it. It is unreasonable to solve it within 7 days, even if you have a lot of time.”

When even the highest authority in the Mage Tower declared surrender and went back, there was only one way left.

Persuading Faust to defeat the Dragon King.

“A bunch of bunches. I’ve just been talking to you, but Faust doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing that. We are all dead. The academy seems to be shutting down because of this. Sigh… That’s it. It’s all over.”

Just then, Giotto Giobert appeared with a sigh.

Academy Crisis Response Headquarters.

Leading by the great sage, the main figures of the academy sat side by side on either side.

Giotto, the owner of the Magi Tower, also put his butt on his seat, and Helen Walker, the owner of the New Tower, as well as the student council presidents and key faculty members of each tower gathered together to hold a meeting.

“I knew that Faust would not give permission easily. He has no interest in saving humanity from the beginning. Still, like the totem, I’m recommending you to become a hero with the hope that you’ll keep it at least a blessing, but I’m frustrated that things have turned out like this.”

The great sage leaned on his chin and said.

She also looked haggard as if she hadn’t slept well.

“I have to do something to change my mind. Or we’re dog death. If the academy is wiped out, the future of mankind is bleak. Our goal is to convince Faust. There is only one. How can I seduce you with my body?”

Helen Walker said in a tone that confused whether she was joking or serious.

The only thing he couldn’t do to avoid death was whether Faust would like it.

Saint Beatrice abruptly intervened.

“Doing such a thing only incurs Faust’s wrath. He hates shallow women. I’m not saying that Professor Helen is vulgar.”

“Is that so? Thanks for speaking up first. Honestly, I wanted Beatrice to step in. I heard that you were in love with Faust.”

“It was a long time ago. It’s been a while since we broke up.”

“I don’t know how we broke up, but there may still be lingering feelings, right? If it’s a beauty world, wouldn’t you be more suitable than me? I don’t think there is a man in this world who doesn’t have attachments to his ex-girlfriend.”

“I don’t know what Faust thinks of me now. But there is a strategy that will more certainly attract Faust’s attention.”

“? What is it?”

Beatrice said, glancing in the direction where the party members were sitting.

“If you tell me who the thesis thief is, he will be interested.”
