Episode 145. Two people are XX Cure (2)
The screen that suddenly appeared on the stage also showed the true identity of the guards.
As priests who directly served Saint Nevia, they were excellent new students who had gained much respect and trust.
During the freshman joint training, they went on to win and draw against excellent second-year cadets, and continued to advance.
There were even letters flying in that were reminiscent of love letters to seniors, and it seemed like there were no promising prospects with bright futures.
-Have you been deceiving us this whole time?
-Then, the skills and grades I’ve shown so far were fake.
That’s why the cadets were quite shocked.
The truth is that the once respected bodyguards were simply humans who had been transformed through magical techniques.
Moreover, their true nature, hidden behind their splendid and faithful appearance, could not be called that of priests.
To begin with, they were only priests in name. They were not officially affiliated with any religious order.
Everything we’ve seen so far has been manipulated, and in reality, he’s just a madman who commits all sorts of evil acts.
-They were showing off like that without achieving anything through their own efforts.
-You act like an angel on the outside. It’s disgusting.
Their voices flow out from the screen that contains the nature of such a guard.
All the students who heard that could not contain their sense of betrayal.
-And the cookie incident back then was that guys’ doing too?
-Cookie incident?
-There were kids who got sick after eating Princess Mirona cookies during the holidays.
-The truth is that it was those guys who put something weird in the cookies back then!
In addition, the situation has revealed the acts that the Royal Guard committed to win the election.
Now the disgust towards them was sky-high.
But the guards themselves didn’t seem to care. They just calmly observed the screen.
“Who the hell took that picture?”
“It seems to be mainly based on the instructor’s personal research lab.”
“It looks like someone is watching over them as a spirit or a spirit. That would only be possible if they were a higher-level spirit.”
I want to find the guy who took the picture and make a bowl of rice. Then, Lenka wiggled her eyebrows and slowly opened her mouth.
“Isn’t it strange?”
“huh?”
“As for Radon Crawler… he’s not here.”
When I think about it, it seems a bit strange.
They mention themselves, Instructor Jason, and Saint Nevia… but they don’t mention anything about that guy, Elder Enviel’s successor.
He must have participated in the plan too, so why was he the only one excluded?
Since they’ve come into contact with each other so many times, wouldn’t it be normal for them to get caught at least once?
“Could it be that Radon Crowler himself took the photo?”
Lavender said with her eyes wide open.
According to the combat records borrowed from Jason, Radon is also a Spirit Contractor.
That too is a high-level lord.
Since it has such great strength and intelligence, it is not impossible that it could have such a function.
“If you handle it skillfully, you can make the spirit do anything.”
“So what? The elder’s successor betrayed us?”
“Um… I don’t know about that.”
Even though he said that, the slave still felt uneasy.
It may be possible for Radon, who holds the upper rank, but no matter what anyone says, he is the successor to Elder Enviel.
A boy who inherited the will of the person who saved him from death.
There is no way that he would betray Doomsday without warning.
‘Now that I think about it, this guy said something similar.’
Slave looked at Markray standing blankly beside him.
The Crowler family has no connection with Elder Enviel or something…
At the time, I dismissed it as nonsense and beat it up, but now I feel like it’s trustworthy.
“You guys go first. I have something to say to this guy.”
“okay.”
The remaining three moved at the command of the leader, Slave.
They started to attack any cadets who had been insulting them.
Where can you find a student who can defeat them, who have powers that rival those of the professors through magical techniques?
If you just become their captive, you can save your life.
“Hey, Markray.”
“….”
The slave was left alone and spoke to him.
I just sat there blankly, wondering if anyone would think I was a troublemaker.
Honestly, I don’t know what the hell Markray is useful for.
“Can’t you hear me? Answer me, you idiot.”
“…uh?”
Markrey opens his mouth as if he just woke up. I want to punch that tired-looking face right now and make it go away.
He’s the only one among the guards to have lost during the previous joint training. He’s a bastard who wouldn’t be satisfied even if you knocked him down and trampled him.
“You said before that Radon Crowler was not the Elder’s successor?”
“….”
“Can you talk about that again?”
“…uh?”
Did you even listen to me just now? You’re a completely useless guy.
As soon as I hear the answer, I have to use it as a meat shield.
“untruth…”
“what?”
Finally, he started to open his mouth properly.
“I have to lie…”
“what?”
But all he can do is spit out words that the Dragon Gate doesn’t understand.
Do you really have to hit someone to make them listen?
“I have to make a lie happen.”
“Listen to me. In the past, you…”
“We have to prove the lie quickly!!”
Kwakjik!-
Marclay suddenly started having a seizure and opened his mouth wide. Then he bit the slave’s neck.
“Eww!!”
Markray’s mouth turned red as he turned into a beast, and the slave screamed in pain.
No one knew that the curse had destroyed MacRae’s mind.
* * * * *
“That’s what happened.”
We left Aisha behind again and hid in a cave inside the waterfall.
There, Angela was able to hear an explanation from herself as to why she had come there.
First, the guards attack the students and the older sisters step forward to stop them. This part is the same as the main story.
However, there was one exception.
“So that guy, Markray… bit off Slave’s neck?”
Come to think of it, I had forgotten about that guy, Mark Ray.
This guy is also a guy who appeared due to the variable I caused. I thought it would be bad because he sided with the Royal Guard, but it actually brought good things.
‘what?’
But why? Why on earth did they commit such a team kill?
“Why is that?”
“I don’t know. He suddenly lost his temper and started biting his own people. I heard him muttering something about having to prove that he was lying…”
“False proof?”
Something felt a little off. If it were a lie, the curse on my family would come to mind first.
Besides, Marclay is also biologically related to me.
I wondered if they would have been able to avoid the curse, even though they were from the same family.
‘Is he under that damn curse too?’
Even if that were the case, it would not explain Marclay’s team-killing behavior.
Maybe there’s something hidden about the curse that I don’t know.
There are more than one or two things I’m curious about, but it’s not too late to ask them later.
“Then what about the slave?”
“It ran away as soon as I bit its neck. It was bitten in a pretty serious place, so I think it’ll be hard to fight.”
In the main story, Angela fights against slaves together with Crona and Kent.
However, since the slave has become like that, it seems there is no need to deal with it.
Thanks to that, I was able to come here.
“How did you know about this place?”
“I heard a loud explosion a little while ago. When I tried to sense the direction from which the sound came, I could smell Nevia.”
It seems like the saints are drawn to each other. If we just figure out the direction, it will be easy to find each other.
“But why is Radon oppa with Nevia?”
It was natural to be curious.
In the current situation, Angela and Nevia are enemies.
Because of the screen that Lyman had displayed on the stage, even if it wasn’t the Royal Guard, Nevia would have been given a bad image.
Even if he resigned, you can’t trust him so easily.
It would be strange to hang out with someone like that.
“I’ll explain that later. After I survive that crow.”
“Come to think of it, what on earth is that crow? Its cursed aura is no joke.”
“He’s a lord who’s in league with those guys. He’s strong enough to warrant cursing.”
I could explain a lot about that guy.
Her name is Aisha, an artificial spirit created by Doomsday.
What we’re aiming for is Nevia and me. Something like this?
Angela didn’t fully understand, but nodded as if it was better than not listening.
“Okay. It’s still a bit complicated, but I just need to take him down, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Even so, since he is a spirit, your holy magic will be able to defeat him.”
Even with my luck, it couldn’t have been better.
Aisha is a spirit who can threaten even the strongest people at the department head level.
This is the guy who was barely caught using the magic of the Holy Spirit in the main story.
I can’t win with my own strength right now, but there are two saints next to me.
If this is a fantastic combination that you will never see in the main story, then you have a good chance of winning.
“Can I ask you one thing before that?”
In the midst of this hopeful moment, Nebia spoke in a weary voice.
“Why did you help me?”
The person she was asking about was Angela.
When you added power to the sound barrier a little while ago, I was honestly surprised.
“Weren’t we enemies? I told you that someone like me would never be allowed to be the chairman.”
Why did you suddenly show up and help me when you were threatening me so much?
Weren’t we enemies?
“As you said, we are enemies. It was already disgusting, but the reality of the bodyguards under your command makes it even more disgusting.”
Then shouldn’t we have helped even more?
Angela continued speaking.
We had been on bad terms with each other for some time now.
In the main story, when the two were together, they spoke like this.
“That’s why I followed you. You looked so out of place in that rabbit costume.”
“what…?”
Nebia was greatly surprised and her face turned red.
Because I was having so much fun, I didn’t even have time to feel that someone was following me.
Why is it always like this when this guy is around?
“Who the hell recommended those clothes?”
“You don’t know.”
“By any chance, Radon Oppa?”
I immediately answered no.
That’s not my taste or anyone else’s taste.
“It was really impressive to be able to kick the guards in such a rustic outfit.”
Once again, Nebia’s face hardened.
If Angela saw it, she must have seen what happened there.
When bloodsucking worms were discovered in Princess Miro’s cookies, no one knows who the rabbit masked man is who revealed that the culprit was the Royal Guard.
Except for me and Angela, who followed us.
“From that moment on, I had already decided to give up on the election.”
“….”
Slave’s scheme to politically drive Princess Mirona at the time.
If Nebia was the villainess he knew, he wouldn’t have kicked her.
If only that scheme had been successful, the princess would have been overthrown and he would have received enormous support.
But even knowing that, Nebia stopped the guards.
The act of kicking away a ladder that would otherwise lead to a higher place.
Angela was terrified by something Nevia would never do.
It can’t be explained unless they gave up on the election.
“I won’t suddenly ask why you did that. If I ask now, it’s obvious that the story will become longer.”
“….”
“But I think it’ll be okay for you now.”
From that moment on, my feelings towards Nebia began to change.
I wanted to believe in the possibility that perhaps I could live as an honest saint like myself.
So Angela got up and held out her hand.
“I’m not suggesting we make up yet. I just want to confirm your sincerity.”
Even Nevia herself couldn’t know what her true feelings were.
The beastly saintess he had been so jealous of was reaching out to him.
Because they were racially superior and special and received more attention than others, they could not help but feel inferior.
“Ha, on the topic of foxes…”
I really wanted to drag it down. There were times when I felt like I wanted to trap that fox in a fence.
Even Angela noticed his feelings and became hostile towards him.
Yes, it is too early to resolve it through reconciliation.
Because it is so entangled that it could threaten one’s life.
There is zero chance that they will accept your reflection now.
Snap-
But I couldn’t shake that hand off.
“Let me ask you one thing. What do you see in me right now?”
If it were normal, it would have just looked like a big piece of trash. Angela, who had figured out Nebia’s true nature, was the one asking.
Nebia answered, taking his hand and raising her body.
“You didn’t expect me to see you as a human, did you?”
“….”
“That doesn’t mean he’s a beast. He’s still my rival.”
They held hands, looked at each other, and smiled contentedly.
They had never acknowledged each other before, but now they were holding hands for the first time with sincerity.
For the first time in history… it was the moment when two saints became one in heart.
Kwakwang!-
At that moment, the cave shook with a loud noise. It seemed as if the break time was over and the cave would collapse any moment.
As expected, I couldn’t hide from Aisha for long.
But I didn’t feel any fear inside the cave.
Shaaaaa!-
The trust created by the two saints who first collaborated was so brilliant that it tore through the darkness.
They stepped outside, breaking through the waterfall blocking the entrance.
He was not afraid of any danger that awaited him.
* * * * *
Aisha stared at the waterfall, her feathers fluttering.
Finally, two saints emerged from the waterfall cave.
It seemed like Radon Crawler hadn’t come out yet, but Saint Nevia was also a target, so he charged straight away.
Push!-
He pierced Nebia’s stomach with his sharp beak. He charged at such a great speed that he tore her in half and entered the cave.
-what?
There was no blood on the beak. Moreover, even Nevia’s body, which should have been cut in half, was nowhere to be seen.
-What did you just see?
And there was no one in the cave.
Then, the things I had just seen disappeared as if they were hallucinations.
The moment I was about to flinch at the thought, a magic circle suddenly appeared on the floor of the cave.
Aisha, who intuitively felt that it was a magic spell, tried to flap her wings, but she was already unable to escape.
-what’s this!
The entire cave was covered in what looked like spider webs. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that they were fine lines used by humans for fishing.
Aisha tried to cut the strings tangled around her wings, but it was too late.
Because the cave was already filled with brilliant light.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
