Episode 76. I Came to End This XX
It was a semester with many incidents and accidents.
Because the lycanthrope appeared and the nine-tailed fox incident caused by Enviel even caused the final exam to be postponed.
In the former case, it was clearly an oversight on the part of the bachelor. Fortunately, in the latter case, Elder Enviel was involved, so there was room for excuses.
The two opinions were at odds: [Don’t blame others for your own failures] vs. [There was nothing we could do because the other party happened to be the highest elder of the alliance].
And the controversy died down as the royal family supported the latter’s opinion.
The Imperial Family also relied on Enviel many times. In order to criticize Alighieri, the Imperial Family had to be criticized first.
But the real victims were not the Academy or the Imperial Family, but the entire population of the Empire. The shock of the great Archmage’s betrayal was not limited to the upper class.
The news quickly spread to the Academy cadets’ hometowns. There were numerous cases of children’s final exam scores plummeting, but given the terrible incident and the fact that the exam schedule itself had been disrupted, the cadets were given some consideration for how hard they had worked.
Thanks to this, there were very few students who returned home during the vacation and were scolded by their parents, and they were able to spend the vacation in the most peaceful and open-minded way.
Rather, it was a shame to hug him and say that he came back alive.
It was difficult to say that the situation was the Academy’s fault, but rumors tend to be exaggerated and misinterpreted.
Eventually, suspicions were raised that this was a plot by Alighieri to assassinate Elder Enviel.
While the cadets were relaxing during the vacation, the Academy was in ruins after fighting the rumors day and night.
“Adela. What happened to the ‘Purgatory Mountain Park Damage Report’ that I requested from Baekma Tower last time?”
“Don’t worry about that. I stayed up all night for several days writing it, but I got through it safely. No matter how much they value nature, isn’t it too frustrating? You wasted time that should have been spent sharpening your sword on scraps of paper.”
“There’s nothing we can do. We were the ones who hurt the police back then, so we have to handle it.”
“No matter what, I thought I was going to die during this vacation. At this rate, I feel like I’d collapse at the slightest touch from a newborn baby.”
As the assistant professor kept showing signs of being lazy, Radian’s eyes widened.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Do you think you can teach the brave combat cadets with that kind of talk?”
“Ugh….”
Groups from all over the empire flocked to Alighieri demanding the truth and results.
After that, Elder Enviel disappeared and all sorts of suspicions were raised, so the faculty and staff had to write all sorts of documents to deal with the situation.
In addition, there are plans for next semester’s class projects, background checks and background checks for new students who will be entering next year, and obtaining swordsmanship textbooks from the unmanned members of the Sword Masters Association located in the snowy fields north of the continent.
The original textbook taught to the cadets was from the Kingdom of Papyrus, a military state.
However, in this incident, King Talema was fatally injured and was stripped of his throne.
With the king gone, Papiyas fell into a state of anarchy, and was left unable to provide any support to the Academy.
“Wouldn’t it have been less difficult if at least the Kingdom of Papyrus hadn’t become like that?”
“I didn’t really mind it being like that. I’ve always disliked the way it was done.”
“But what happened to King Talema? I heard he became completely crippled.”
“You reap what you sow! The atrocities you’ve committed so far have been revealed, and there’s no room for sympathy!”
From that day on, King Talemah is said to have been pursued by the Papiyas army.
He was being chased by the very troops he was commanding… The image of a toothless tiger being chased by lynxes came to mind.
And they say they are also investigating the unidentified demons who created Talema like that.
“I don’t know who that demon that suddenly appeared was, but I believe that the heavens were on our side at that time.”
“Thanks to the help of the heavens, we almost fell off the cliff and got frostbite on our way to the crevasse where the Swordsmanship Society was. And it was even more unfair because we went alone.”
I had risked my life climbing up and down the cliffs of the snowy field to get the textbook from that group.
The other combat professors were not included because they were assigned to the Archive’s artificial self experiments.
In the end, the expedition was formed by three people: Radian, Adela, and a cadet.
“You must not forget that you are also a group that practices martial arts. You may be a rookie and have not yet adapted well, but the cold is nothing more than a tickle to them. You could tell just by looking at the fact that you did not readily give in to our demands.”
“Ah… Of course I remember. What did you say back then…”
Adela wrinkled her face with her hands and spoke as if she was imitating her grandfather.
‘After evaluating the level of your cadets, I will decide whether or not to provide them with textbooks!’
The face of the Lord of the Sword Society and a few words came to her mind.
The old man was very stubborn in wanting to evaluate the student’s character rather than the professor’s ability.
However, the cadets who joined the expedition were able to capture the heart of the lord.
This is because he proved his qualifications by defeating all of the students of the Sword Mastery Society that he had tried to challenge.
“What would have happened if our Lyman hadn’t been there back then?”
Adela sent a starry gaze somewhere.
They weren’t the only ones in the lab. Lyman was sitting behind Adela, helping her write her practical exam report.
“…?”
Lyman suddenly noticed her gaze, but soon lowered his head and focused on his work.
Even though the reaction was indifferent, Adela couldn’t hide her joy.
“Do you see Professor Radian? This is the future of the combat department of the Alighieri Academy! No history will ever feature students volunteering to help their professors during their entire vacations!”
bean!-
“Ouch!”
“Don’t be a guest.”
As Radian hit the chestnut with a single blow, a groan burst out from Adela’s mouth, who had been rambling nonsense.
Although the expression was dry, it was an amusing sight for Lyman.
Originally, I was just helping Radian with his work because I was bored during the whole vacation and needed something to do, but after spending time with him, I was filled with joy.
“Oh, right! Eat this while you do it. It’s a limited edition cake sold at the cafe.”
“thank you.”
Wheeing-
Adela places the plate and fork holding the cake on Lyman’s desk. At that moment, two mosquitoes hover around.
The guys were circling around the precious cake and were about to land on the strawberry topping.
“Where!”
Bam!-
Adela’s expression distorted and she threw the fork, smashing it against the wall.
An outrageous act just because of a few flies. It may seem absurd, but you will be surprised when you see the wall with the fork stuck in it. Because there are two mosquitoes stuck in the tip of the fork like arrows.
Even though he looks like this, he is still an assistant professor in name only. Skills that make you doubt your eyes are nothing more than eating cold porridge.
“Sorry. I’ll get a new one.”
“yes.”
As Adela ran to find the fork, someone had already overtaken her.
-Here’s the fork you asked for. Beep.
“….”
The golem standing in the lab suddenly ran over and handed Lyman a fork.
But Lyman said with a look on his face like, ‘I didn’t ask you to do anything…’
“Professor, what do you think about these guys?”
It had been a while since Lyman had spoken, so Radian was surprised for a moment, but he was also keeping an eye on the golems.
“I don’t particularly like it. As a representative of the combat department whose goal is physical training, I think it would be better if they just disappeared.”
“I think you’d be really upset if you heard that.”
“Huh! How can a golem understand human speech? Besides, no matter how much we badmouth them, they will never attack.”
Then the golem suddenly looks at Radian. As if asking what he is looking at, Radian responds with a wild look in his eyes that shows his experience in battle.
From the viewer’s perspective, it just seemed like a pointless war of nerves. However, even at this moment, the golem was unconsciously leaving a record.
Even though the concept of emotion is profound, the perception of people can be stern. Radian, who watches over himself as if he is hostile… leaves behind only an algorithm that says he is also an ‘enemy’.
* * * * *
Usually, students who remain at the academy during the vacation are thought to be homeless or poor, but this is not always the case.
This is because they stay during the vacation to help the professor with his work and get some credit for it.
But most of them would have regretted it. The workload was no joke, with the Golem development schedule being included along with the first semester incident. They would have been caught up in the disaster without knowing anything and would have been exhausted.
Except for this girl here.
“The food is ready, so eat it. You have to do the dishes yourself.”
“huh.”
“And when I come back, just find the room dirty. Then you and I will both be dead.”
“Okay. There’s no need to get it dirty anyway.”
Before going out, Ruska gave all sorts of advice.
It’s already been two weeks since I became her roommate. At first glance, she looks down on Mesa, so I feel a little creeped out, but I don’t regret sharing a room with her at all.
We never fought over a dirty room, and we never clashed with each other over food or decoration.
Ruska wasn’t the type to want to make her room fancy or to enjoy a night out with alcohol. She just ate quietly and lived quietly, so she didn’t get angry unless I made a mess of it.
Since I didn’t really want anything, we often fought with each other.
“Then go.”
“huh.”
Suddenly-
Soon I sat down at the table that Ruska had prepared for me. It looked as if she had prepared it for me before I left for work.
When I spent holidays like this alone, I would make and eat rice balls by myself, but now when I wake up, a meal is automatically prepared for me on the table.
“It’s delicious.”
It was more delicious than the meals I used to make. The family seemed to be good cooks, so much so that I thought they ran a restaurant.
In addition, the room was cleaned neatly while I was sleeping. Even the glass windows that didn’t need to be cleaned were shiny and even pesticides were applied to keep bugs out.
‘It was actually mentioned in the work that he was good at writing lyrics.’
Ruska, who has a past of rolling around in blood-stained mud, it may be surprising that she has such a feminine side hidden inside her.
Thanks to that, there didn’t seem to be any fights over the room issue. Since I also prefer neatness, I can say that we get along well.
In that sense, it was a bit subtle, but… I stopped thinking about useless things and cleaned up the food I had eaten.
“Should I go now?”
After I finished eating and washing the dishes, I also went out.
If it were a normal day, I would have packed my fishing gear and headed to the lake, but today I had something special to do somewhere else.
As soon as I left the dorm, I turned west towards the forest. In the forest, there was an old warehouse that no one was using, so I went inside and activated ‘Maan’.
A vast passageway was visible through the wall that had been covered with rotten barrels.
Since it was never physically pierced, I placed my hand on the wall and slowly channeled my magic power.
This passage was created by servants dispatched from the Empire to develop artificial intelligence.
Only those related to their work may pass through.
How on earth would someone like me get through?
-welcome.
But then a robotic voice came from the wall, and the wall disappeared, opening up a new path.
Didn’t I tell you that only those related to their work are allowed to pass through?
Considering that they are Enviel’s disciples, there is no need to think too hard about it.
‘And I ate your needle master.’
I stepped into the hallway and walked straight in that direction.
Considering the angle, it is probably the road connecting the Unique Hall and Dantia Hall located in the Gyosu Building.
And if you keep walking in that direction, you will reach the area that is the center of this chapter.
I was able to get there on foot in 20 minutes.
In a circular space like the Colosseum, green butterflies and bird shapes were fluttering about.
They were not even spirits or spirits, but they gathered into a sphere floating in the air and became one.
The identity of that sphere, which looks like the sun with a green tint, is the center of artificial intelligence.
This guy is commonly called ‘Mosria’.
-Human… Intruder… Intruder detected. Eliminated. Intruder detected… Eliminated…
A large number of butterflies suddenly transformed into moths and rushed towards me.
The moment they rushed towards me, I released magical power from my hands.
But the power was poor. There was no way I could block it with just this much… I had no intention of blocking it in the first place.
The moths that were touched by my magic suddenly stopped attacking. Then, as a group, they buried their heads in the ground and said,
-Welcome…Elder Envyel.
The final boss of this chapter, Mosria.
At some point, the guy goes beyond the suggestion of humans and becomes a disaster-like being.
There, he turns Principal Heidern into a cripple and confines the Academy to a subspace so that it cannot receive any outside support.
‘Other chapters were important because they included character growth… but this chapter is separate.’
In addition, one of the characters dies, causing a huge shock.
This incident slowly causes Lyman to go crazy, and ignites the fuse for the continent-destroying ending. The deceased happened to be a professor he had become close with during the vacation.
‘And if you want to get through Chapter 4 comfortably, you definitely need that professor.’
So I came to edit this chapter 3.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
