EP20 - Kendrek 2.0(1)
Recently, Gloomy, the head professor of Illusion Magic at Kreutz, was not feeling well.
No, it was quite dirty.
She bit her nails while looking at the Hiaka Academy in the mirage all day long.
‘...What is that illusion? What is it?An unexpectedly created super giant Christmas tree.
Suddenly, it was called the specialty of Hiaka.
Soon, tourism began across the entire continent.
What the hell is that? How could such an illusion be...??It is a position of a distinguished professor, a level that even Gloom, who was once ranked among the top three in fantasy magic at Hiaka, could not achieve.
Truly a shocking manifestation of abilities.
After that, a great crisis struck Gloomy and Batalion of Kreutz.
The attack has begun from the Kreutz royal family and the faculty.
Originally, I received a fortune that corresponds to the 'illusion materials of Hiaka' as a condition for betraying the country.
This is because there was no information at all about that 'Professor Cain' in the material.
"Gloomy Professor." Isn't this a different case?The chairman's stern gaze.
Gloomy lowered his head.
"...It seems that they have called the imperial illusionist." The person named Cain did not exist. It is clear that there is some trickery going on at Hiaka."The basis is."”
“……."There is none." It's just a claim. Yes? Did you handle your work like that at Hiaka as well?”
“……."I'm sorry." Kreutz is not like that.Gloomy bit down on his jaw until it broke.
"Kreutz Academy wishes to hold serious accountability regarding this situation.""If you could just give me a little more time...""No." The trees already exist and are being visited by tourists around the world. Does this fact change?”
“……."You two will have to pay the penalty fee."Final notice.
Thus, the two had to return 1.7 billion Hika.
A huge amount that makes you shed tears of blood.
The next day, the battalion had a seizure.
"Gloomy Chief!" What happened here! I came back after stepping away for a moment and found out that 1.7 billion was taken!?"Shut your mouth!" Did only you get ripped off? So where on earth have you been? The assassination department said you should handle it yourself! But it doesn't make sense that you don't know anything about that guy named Cain!?"I told you!" There's nothing I don't know! Cain should have said he was an imperial guy from the beginning!"I did it!" I said that too, you bastard!!The relationship between the two began to divide.
The location was the laboratory sofa. I was sitting blankly, waiting for someone.
The promised time has already passed.
No one came.
Putin is the latecomer, but Trump arrived even later to the meeting with Putin to show off his power.
Perhaps it is from such psychology?
‘......Why aren't you coming?Still, for now, I'll wait. I felt a gaze. About 5 minutes ago, the teaching assistant Lan had been sitting next to me, staring at me blankly.
"What are you looking at?""Professor.""Why.""There is no reason.""Okay.""Yes."”
“…….”
“……."Ran is a person like a machine."
A sharp bob haircut.
A suit without a single wrinkle.
Flawless skin.
There is also no unnecessary movement.
"Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?""There is none.""I brushed the dust with my hand and tried to smear it on Ran's hand."
And observed the reactions.
“…….”
“…….She didn't even react.
Just looking at the back of my hand for a moment, then turning back to me.
“…….”
“…….It feels like there are fingerprints on the glass.
I took out a wet wipe and cleaned it.
"...Are you planning to keep seeing (me)?""Yes.""The assassin should be sensitive to the gaze." Look elsewhere."Understood."Ran turned her gaze out the window. Towards the empty sky and clouds.
What is this person?
The more I see it, the more unusual it is.
There was a winter tangerine in the lab. I tried placing it on Ran's head.
The head of the owl turns around and looks at me.
"What is it?""Tangerine.""I see.""Isn't there some kind of special ability or something?""There is none.""You know, apples.""There are also bananas.""What is it, banana?""I can climb trees well.""...That's really practical." Is there anything about fighting?"There is."Then, Lan took out a headband from her pocket, and there was a broken sword attached to the center of the headband.
"What is that?""It's an Excalibur headband." If you get involved, you will become good at fighting."Then she put it on her head."
It felt like a knife was stabbed into the crown of my head.
“…….”
진짜 What is this person?
It was then.
The door opened and Adele came in.
"Professor!" I will prepare for the end of the semester, oh..."Then he stops and looks at Ran."
Is it because there is a knife stuck in my head?
Or.
"Are you preparing for the end of the semester?""...Ah, yes. Can I take the teaching assistant with me?"Well, there is a lot to do before the end of the semester."
Grade organization, responding to student inquiries, organizing lecture materials, returning practical tools, evaluating lectures, conducting surveys, writing end-of-term reports, organizing classrooms, planning follow-up schedules, etc...
However, I am somewhat concerned when Ran and Adele are alone together.
I will come to help."Okay." Just make sure to keep wearing that headband."Yes."Ran followed Adele out.
"Oh my, was that a headband?""That's right.""I suddenly wondered why there was a knife stuck in my head." So cute~ Do I have one too?"I have a reindeer headband, would you like it?""Among them, the two teaching assistants wore strange headbands."
The laboratory door is closed.
No, it was about to close.
Someone held the door that was about to close.
A cadet dressed in a saint's robe.
She glanced at the backs of the teaching assistants and entered.
Hello. Professor."Tap, tap." Footsteps.
Putin, no, Trump.
It was Princess Rebecca.
Tomorrow.
We are going to the Assassination Daily studio.
To the headquarters of the empire.
Finally, the start of the "Betting Table".
However, in [The Time Forgery of the Spy], Gray was severely injured there due to an assassination threat. Filming is also frustrating.
Even though the chief professor accompanied us, it was still like that.
I was faced with two choices.
Do not let me go to the empire.
Make sure to go safely.
What I chose was the latter.
The greenhouse may be warm and safe, but it cannot be as strong as the dandelion that blooms in the cracks of concrete.
There will continue to be external pressure in the future. Every time I run away like that, neither I nor my cadets can grow, nor can we rebuild Hiaka.
Ultimately, it may not survive. The Demon King's War is still approaching.
We must become stronger.
So, I called the princess.
"Please accompany me to the filming of Gray.""That's right." There wouldn't be any insane group attempting terrorism or assassination at an event attended by royalty."To harm royalty is to turn an entire nation against you." It is an act that triggers a full-scale war. This is the reason why the Jangryong Academy was safe during the "Rebellion and Collapse."
Because there is a princess in the Jamryong Academy.
Even if Kreutz is a crazy guy, he would still say, 'Ah, that's a bit...It has been done.
"Why me?""However, there is no reason for the princess to grant my wish."
As always, with a worn-out and weary expression, she asked.
"Are you planning to come out like that?" On the yard where we are on the same boat."It's not being stubborn, it's a question." I don't have a very good relationship with the royal family. If I go to the empire, I need to ask for permission and bow, but why should I do that?"Because Gray could get hurt.""Then I will attach the troops for you.""No, you have to come."”
“……."In the counterfeit time brought by the spy." I remember Gray's wounds lying in the hospital room.
They couldn't catch the culprit there, but it was obvious from the circumstances.
It is the doing of Kreutz.
Because at the end, the student of Kreutz was standing as the cover model.
"We must prevent the assassination attempt itself.""Me?""Okay.""So, you are trying to use the princess of a country as some sort of safety guarantee totem?""That's correct."Rebecca scoffed as if she was incredulous.
"I have a schedule.""What.""Near the Cain tree..., a huge Virgin Mary temple has been built in District 9." Today is the first worship service."Since we are leaving tomorrow, there shouldn't be any problems."”
“Professor.”
It was then. Rebecca, who had been uncomfortable all along, looked straight at me.
"This situation right now." Isn't it a bit different from the contract between the professor and me?"The contents of the contract break the agreement with the Hiakawa Empire." This is a separate situation."No." If Gray goes out to the empire and even films, it would positively affect the academic exchange agreement as the Hiaka assassins become more friendly with the outside."Well." The cause and effect do not match.”
“……."Didn't you also do the weekly model?""Weekly and monthly have different levels of influence." And from the beginning, I am not a person who symbolizes the Department of Assassination, but rather a person who symbolizes the Hiaka Kingdom."It's almost the same."”
“……."Whose words are correct?"
It's Rebecca.
I'm actually being really stubborn.
"My intuition is telling me that this is not a good choice.""Is your intuition always bright?""It is very bright.""It shouldn't be."
Can't you even recognize the traitor in front of you?
"My intuition is a bit sharper."”
“…….Rebecca sighed and brushed her bangs aside.
"...Were you originally that kind of person?""I showed my palm and joked around."
Then Rebecca crossed her arms and locked them. I became a person who is twice as locked up because I was already sitting cross-legged in the yard.
"I don't want to.""Do it.""I said I don't want to."As expected, Rebecca is twice as stubborn.
She feels uncomfortable when I approach.
I decided to take advantage of that fact.
"Do it."I stood up from my seat.
Then I went and sat next to Rebecca, who had her legs crossed.
"Huh?"Gloomy stood up next to Batalion.
"It's done." I will go!"Gloomy." Gloomy Chief! First, calm down. Aren't we on the same side?"An incompetent ally is worse than an enemy." In this way, I cannot be on your side.”
"Gloomy Chief!" "Glu—"
Bang!
A door that closes as if it is breaking.
"This, this!" Jegi-raaaaal!!"Batalion swept everything off the desk." Books pouring out, broken frames, shattered crystal balls. Right after that, he screamed.
"Damn it, damn it!"!It wasn't simply because of the relationship with Gloomy.
Indeed, the current situation on the continent was strange.
In civilized society, only the weak are regarded as virtuous.
The weak in the continental situation are clearly evil.
Having lost the rankers to Kreutz and suffered an assassination round, Hiaka was facing ridicule and contempt from various countries.
It must have been so.
After that disgusting tree bloomed, the situation on the continent began to flow strangely.
Duke Le Ruyé "Seeing the Tree of Cain was the best choice of this winter."" >
< Becon Travel Agency launches group tour course for 24,000 people. The name of the course is [Cthulhu's Christmas] >
< Announcement of the unprecedented tourist attraction expansion plan for Hiaka III... >
< Selected by Wizard Patch, the best tourist destination that can only be visited this winter. > Selected as number 1. < The Empire Hatengrage Illusion Assassination Studies Chief Professor "Light Star⁺₊⋆" Agion said, "If you have time, I recommend sightseeing before the trees wither." It will be a shocking experience that will happen only twice in a lifetime."The rulers, rankers, and nobles of each kingdom began to compete to go on journeys."
The number of tourists heading to Hiakawa exceeded an average of 40,000 in just one day.
There were days when the daily number of tourists exceeded 70,000.
This was the highest point in the history of the Hiaka Kingdom!
Yet, the misfortunes of Batalion did not cease.
"The, continental peace talks...?"The Hiaka royal family has decided to expand their influence. That guy has a ridiculously large tree... Naturally, the king of Kreutz had to be there.
What if the King of Kreutz is insulted by King Hiaka right there?
Professor Batalion bit down hard on it.
Damn...It sends chills down my spine.
In the meantime, another unbelievable report came in.
"Has the [stigmata] fallen again?" Again? At Hiaka Academy?My heart sank.
Something was going wrong.
