183. Walk around the campus
#183
“My lieutenant has something to say. “In relation to what happened that day.”
Jaipa tapped the major on the shoulder. Ronan noticed that Adeshan’s breathing had become heavier. Ronan, who belatedly recalled her trauma, asked in a whisper.
“Shall we talk about it later?”
“no it’s okay.”
Adeshan shook his head. She looked at the two prisoners like a person facing fear. Major Nemea strode forward and bowed her head. This lion was also so large that it seemed as if a huge wall had been built in front of her.
“I should tell you this first. sorry.”
It was a polite attitude that did not match his size. He apologized for causing a fight after seeing Ronan during the massacre. Ronan said.
“are you okay.”
“no. I committed too much rudeness back then. “No matter how much of a situation I was in, I should have maintained my composure… but it was because I was immature.”
Nemea continued speaking with her head down. As she expected, the reason she was scared when she saw Ronan was because the eye color of her attackers resembled Ronan’s.
Ronan’s reasoning was correct. The identities of the attackers were Darman, Ajie, and the explosive sword Croden. Nemea explained that every time her scarlet eyes flashed, her comrades would bleed to death.
‘Damn it.’
Ronan twisted his lips. Having experienced the annihilation of all members of his unit except himself, he knew how devastated the major felt. Ronan, who had been quietly listening to the story, waved his hand.
“It’s really okay, so raise your head. “Even if it were me, I would have lost my mind.”
“···thank you.”
Only then did Nemea raise her head. Even though I went through something like that, I still felt like apologizing to someone else. Even though I was a former member of the Imperial Knights, there was something different about it. Ronan, who was looking up at her, opened her mouth.
“You have other business, right?”
“···yes. Since you look unwell, I will tell you briefly. “I overheard the raiders’ conversation that day.”
“yes?”
“It was obscured by the rain, but I heard it clearly. “It was mostly just small talk, but I also occasionally heard things that sounded out of the ordinary.”
This was possible because she was a wear lion with excellent hearing. Nemea said they mentioned a specific location. I didn’t know what Nebula Clage’s next destination was, but that alone was valuable information.
Nemea said she would soon write down what she heard and send it to me. She also added that since Ajie, the only one left alive in Farzan, was escorted to her Rodolan, she would also collect the information she had extracted from her. After finishing speaking, she lowered her head again.
“Well, I’ll see you again soon. Please take good care of yourself.”
“I’m having a hard time.”
The two prisoners left the room. Jaipa left a bottle of Perennial Snowflake distilled liquor on the nightstand as a visitation gift. The fact that this was Phileon Academy seemed like a good thing. Like a crazy tiger.
Somehow, I had a feeling that I would be seeing Zaifawa often in the future. Suddenly, Adeshan, who was next to me, sighed. Ronan asked worriedly.
“By the way, are you okay?”
“Whoa…it’s a lot better now.”
Adeshan caught his breath. She did not look away from Jaifa until the end. It was amazing that she was able to maintain her composure to this degree. No matter what anyone says, Jaifa was the person who caused her family to fall apart.
Ronan, who got along well with him, often forgot that Jaifar was the leader of the Great Alliance of Northern Beastmen that brought about the Night of the Fangs. Ronan held Ade Shan’s hand until he regained his breathing. It wasn’t long before she completely regained her composure and burst into laughter.
“huh. I’m really okay now. “Your hands are bigger.”
“thank god.”
“Anyway, you said you developed an Auror, what kind of ability is it?”
“Uh…it’s a bit difficult here, so I’ll go out and show you.”
Ronan said, looking at La Mancha leaning against the wall. It felt too flashy to be used indoors. She said Ade Shan.
“really. You guys all went to club activities together. I’ll probably be back tomorrow. “Erzebet went to the Dawn Magic Tower to receive training.”
Even without Ronan, the special adventure club was going well. Their latest activity was to tour (attack) a griffon nest that resulted in casualties. It wasn’t as bad as when Ronan was around, but it was still crazy enough for ordinary students to see.
“It’s nice to see everyone living a busy life.”
Ronan nodded with a satisfied smile. At that time, the door to the nurse’s office burst open and familiar faces came in one after another. Schlieffen, Nabirose, and Iril. The sister clapped her hands and shouted as her eyes met Ronan’s.
“My little brother, you’re finally awake!”
“sister?”
“Do you know how worried I was? huh?”
After a month, Iril came running and hugged Ronan. The traces of her tears were already clearly visible on her cheeks. This seemed to have caused concern again. Iril, who had been caressing her brother’s face for a while, turned to her Schlieffen and said,
“Thank you so much, Mr. Schlieffen. “For saving her sister.”
“Do your job. “I just did it.”
Schlieffen answered like a broken machine. Ronan shrugged his eyebrows at the inexplicable sound.
“What do you mean, saved?”
“It was Schlieffen who carried you all the way to Gran Farzan. You’re okay now, but your condition at the time was a bit serious. A typical mana overload phenomenon occurred and the fever boiled over.”
Nabirose answered on behalf of Schlieffen, who suffered from dementia. Ronan, who had already reached his potential thanks to Lin’s power, was in serious condition, but it was said that quick emergency treatment was possible thanks to Schlieffen transporting him within an hour. Ronan looked back at Schlieffen with a very surprised expression.
“I am indebted to you. thanks.”
“It was heavy.”
Schlieffen blurted out. The gaze was still fixed on Iril. Ronan chuckled at the consistent appearance. With butterflies, I looked at La Mancha in her transformed form and opened her mouth.
“Is that what became the holy sword?”
“Right.”
“That’s amazing. “I thought it was something from a fairy tale.”
After hearing Ronan’s words, she shed pure admiration. Nabirose brought news that all survivors of that day, including Alogin, were safe.
They talked for quite some time about what had happened in Farzan. The conversation was just about to come to an end. Adeshan tugged on Nabirose’s sleeve as she was about to leave the room.
“Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while…”
“hmm?”
“Isn’t this Ronan’s coat? “Why did the instructor do this?”
Adeshan trailed off. The face with an awkward smile felt somewhat uneasy. Nabirose shrugged her eyebrows.
“aha. “You mean this?”
It was given by Ronan to Nabirose, whose clothes were torn during the fight with the Tortoise Sword. As she was about to reply casually, she was suddenly cut off. A mischievous smile appeared on Nabirose’s lips as he looked at Ronan and Adeshan in turn.
“···Well, it’s no big deal. “I felt sorry for myself for being naked, so I just wore what they took off.”
“yes? Huh, naked, what is that…”
“That’s literally it. This guy was a complete beast that day. “The energy reminds me of my childhood.”
Although it was true, a somewhat distorted explanation came out of Nabirose’s mouth. Ade Shan covered his mouth with both hands. She looked back at Ronan, who was breathing much harder than when she had encountered Zyfar.
“you···!”
“No, wait a minute. There are degrees of omitting the subject.”
Ronan laughed. Adeshan’s eyes were already watering. Nabirose, who was twitching, patted her on the shoulder and said.
“It’s a joke. It’s a joke. Then I’ll just leave. “The entrance ceremony is not far away, so don’t overexert yourself and get some rest.”
Butterfly Rose left the nurse’s office with those words. The coat was still not taken off. At that time, I noticed the head of a tobacco pipe sticking out of the outer pocket of my coat.
that’s right. I need to get that back too. Ronan was just about to get up.
“Where.”
“senior?”
“You need to calm down.”
Adeshan grabbed his wrist. Perhaps because he had been swinging the crossbow and whip so much, his grip strength was unusual. Ronan even made hand gestures to complain about his injustice.
“You sure don’t believe that kind of thing, do you? “You said it was a joke yourself.”
“huh. But I think I need to hear an explanation. “A little detail.”
The sudden calm demeanor was creepy. The eyes, which had been shaking with agitation, became cold and subdued. If I refused, it wouldn’t be strange to use mind control.
Eventually, Ronan sat down again. He had to explain every detail what happened in the holy city of Farzan from the beginning. It was three hours later that Ronan was allowed to get up.
****
After being discharged from the hospital, Ronan immediately returned to the dormitory. Even though he returned after a month, his room was kept clean and free of dust. It was all thanks to his exclusive maid, Lucy. Ronan greeted her warmly as she played ball with her sita.
“long time no see. Lucy.”
“Oh my god, Ronan! “You still look tired. Are you okay?”
“There’s still a lot of work to do. “Take this.”
Ronan gave Lucy a tip close to her salary and then sent her out of the room. I knocked on her door, saying she couldn’t accept something like this when she was so pale, but she completely ignored me.
“Damn, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything, so my handwriting is terrible.”
The first thing he did was to summarize what had happened in Farzan and report it to the emperor. Sita, who served as a messenger, delivered the report to the imperial palace and returned in just five minutes. After completing his task, Sita fiercely pressed her face against Ronan’s cheek, as if to make up for her absence for the past month.
“Bye! Bwaaaa!”
“Okay, okay. “I missed you too.”
Ronan gently stroked Sita, who was now the size of a large dog. Somehow, if it got a little bigger, it seemed like it could carry people and fly.
The reply was very fast. The white falcon, which carried only the royal edicts, knocked on the window of the dormitory with its beak less than an hour after Sita’s return.
-Knock knock. Tok tok tok tok tok.
“Your personality is so impatient. “Wait a minute, man.”
Ronan checked the letter tied to the falcon’s ankle. He checked the report and told me to get a good rest as the results of the meeting would come out soon. Gratitude and praise for hard work were written in the emperor’s handwriting.
Grumble! When the edict was read in full, the enchanted paper spontaneously burned and disappeared. Ronan, who was smoothing her chin, muttered softly.
“What are you going to do now? Nebula Clage.”
It was easy to predict that many changes would occur in the future. Just looking at those who survived Farzan at the time, there were many influential figures from all walks of life on the continent. They would tell their acquaintances the bizarre events they had experienced in Farzan.
‘We will turn the world into an enemy in earnest.’
Ronan, who had competed with Lycopos, was confident. He could still win. They were certainly strong, but they were not enough to defeat the absolute power of the nation. I could see why they didn’t start an all-out war.
‘There is a reason why the powerful were eliminated one by one.’
The momentum had to be completely broken when there was a chance of victory. It was good to kill all the giants, but what was even better was to prevent the Advent incident itself from happening. After completing the most urgent business, Ronan left the room. His destination was Kratir’s office.
‘I should let you know this time.’
Of course Kratir would have heard the news, but speaking directly would have delivered more accurate information. Phileon, who returned after a month, was extremely peaceful.
The students who returned to spring were not wearing thick coats. A variety of flowers were blooming beautifully in the flower bed. The chaos and tragedy that occurred in Farzan all seemed like a one-night dream.
Suddenly, Ronan’s eyes fell on the sword clanking at his waist. La Mancha, where Lin resided, still maintained its strange shape. Approximately 70% of the blade’s body had turned pure white, making it look like a tree that had been glued together. Ronan, who was staring at her sword, opened her mouth.
“Lin.”
Even after waiting for a while, there was no answer. Ronan smiled bitterly. Lynn says she hasn’t spoken since she left Farzan. It seems that the blow of losing her body to Darman was greater than she thought.
I didn’t know if I would be unable to speak forever. She could clearly feel that Rin was alive and present within her sword. As if to disprove him, her Rin’s sheath was exquisitely pounding against Ronan’s bottom with each step she took.
‘···Is this why you were so obsessed with your butt?’
I felt like I knew why he was massaging other people’s butts so much. Ronan, who was walking around the campus, chuckled. Instead of being sad, he decided to stick to what he could do with his sword. You never know. If I give him plenty of blood, will he gain strength and be able to talk?
‘I’m going to fight a lot with my senior.’
Ronan imagined what it would be like when Rin was back in shape. If she sexually harassed him like she always did, it was obvious that Ade Shan’s eyes would roll over. Ronan giggled as he imagined the mess.
‘I think it might be fun.’
As he walked around thinking about this and that, he arrived in front of the principal’s office. He was just about to knock. The closed door opened by itself and Kratir’s voice was heard.
“···Please come in.”
The voice was somehow weak. Ronan entered the room, tilting his head. Kratyr was standing in front of his desk, covering his face with both hands.
“It’s been a while, Ronan… I’m really glad to see you, but please forgive this old man who can’t welcome me.”
“What, what’s going on?”
“Ah…oh my god.”
Instead of answering, Kratir fell silent. When I removed his hand, his face revealed an indescribable worry.
Suddenly, Ronan noticed a piece of paper in Kratir’s hand. It was a handsome crimson bell, and the material was much more luxurious than that used to convey the emperor’s edicts.
Kratir staggered after rereading the letter. He narrowly avoided falling by holding on to the desk. Ronan, who couldn’t see it, frowned at her. What are you doing in front of people?
“Damn it, why on earth are you doing that?”
“I’m sorry…I just can’t keep my composure. You know it too. “One of the students enrolling this time is the red dragon Itargand.”
“I know. “Why is that?”
Ronan tilted his head. There was no way she didn’t know that she had brought him there in the first place. Kratyr put down her paper and brushed a hand down her face.
“I heard that your mother is visiting.”
“···yes?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. It was clear that I heard wrong. Or maybe this old man ended up suffering from a brain disease. However, he proved that there was no problem in his head yet by clearly pronouncing what was about to happen.
“So, it means that Navarre is coming in person.”
“Fuck.”
Ronan cursed. I immediately understood Kratir’s attitude. Navardose, Mother of Fire. During the Advent incident that occurred in his past life, he was the only red dragon who captured the giant without dying.
