Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 203
203. Jager (3)
#203
The identity of the girl was Asher. I saw her from afar and because of her pretty appearance, I was confused for a woman. At the same time as his psychokinesis was released, a rain of beasts began to pour.
“Keep it off!”
“Save me!”
Screams and crashes echoed in succession. They were either crippled or killed instantly when their wagons ran into the spears held by a soldier on the wall. The people who were greeted by the monstrous heavy rain scattered in confusion. Asher’s face turned white when he sensed their fall belatedly.
“Hey! Slow Zone!”
Asher hurriedly chanted an incantation. A hemispherical curtain of mana surrounded the nearby space. The falling speed of the beasts within the range was drastically slowed down. Those who had not yet touched the ground cheered.
“I bought it!”
“These bastards. As it goes down…gagging!”
Of course, it was good until there. hooked! The spear thrown by the tiger guard chief pierced the chest of the relieved wearee. The blood that burst out in the middle of the day also slowly dripped down. The captain of the guard who picked up the new spear shouted so loudly that the city shook.
“This is a great opportunity! Kill all of Jayger’s gangsters who are targeting the city!”
“Whoaaaa!”
The soldiers followed suit and cheered. Without a moment’s hesitation, they began throwing spears and shooting arrows at Jager’s men who were slowly falling. Only struggling in the air, they were good targets for soldiers and mercenaries.
“Kyaaaagh! Don’t shoot!”
“Surrender, I will surrender!”
The prisoners begged for mercy, but the Rundalian garrison’s hand did not stop. A rain of blood poured slowly. Ronan, who was watching the novel massacre, laughed.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen something like this.”
“Yes. I know.”
It seemed like there were a lot of things piled up. Marja nodded in agreement. Anyway, I couldn’t just watch it, so Ronan’s party also stepped in.
Loud death utterances, incomparable to those of humans, resounded sporadically. Ronan and Marja killed three each and Adeshan killed five.
It took about five minutes for all the prisoners to come down to the floor. Most died on the way down. Those who barely survived were captured or executed on the spot.
When the slow zone magic was lifted, drops of blood that remained in the air poured out at the same time. Shoot ah – The red rain signaled the end of the situation. Ronan asked Marya as he wiped the blood from his eyes.
“So what exactly happened?”
“Whoa…I stopped by a mine to secure stock that I can get right now, but suddenly those beastmen attacked me. Do you know any of them?”
“Roughly. I think it would be more accurate to say that they are the ones who want to know.”
Marja tilted her head at the incomprehensible sound. Ronan briefly conveyed the situation in the North with Jager. Upon receiving Secret’s recommendation to withdraw, Marja’s face crumpled.
“It’s a little difficult to withdraw… but if you turn the top right now, the damage is too great. to such an extent that it interferes with operation. Wouldn’t it be nice if we hired more mercenaries?”
“Okay. Because the size of the rebels is bigger than expected.”
Ronan twitched his lips. If Secret’s explanation is true, dragging a troupe in the northern part of the world is like walking a naked beauty into a back alley full of criminals. He might be able to hold out for a while, but in the end, he would be overwhelmed by the number of people and end up in a bad way.
‘I wonder if the work is completed very quickly.’
Ronan groaned and rubbed his chin. He also did not want the top of Caravel to be hit. It was also an organization that would be in charge of one axis of the empire’s economy in the future, and Marja was my friend.
It was while they were in the middle of finding a way. Asher’s body floated up on the roof of the warehouse. It seemed that he had confirmed that the massacre had ended. Flying through the air, he landed in front of the two before long. Ronan calmly greeted me.
“hi. Asher.”
“Oh, hello Ronan. Marya and even the student president…what did you come here for?”
“That’s what I want to ask, man. Why are you here?”
“That’s… that’s why…”
Asher hesitated and looked at him, but didn’t answer. Ronan lightly raised one hand. Asher, startled, stepped back and shouted.
“Hey! That’s why I’m here to practice. huh!”
“Perform?”
“Witch Ma said that training to master ice magic should be done in an environment so cold that it snows. But now it’s summer… snow falls only in the north…”
Asher’s explanation continued. In short, it was said that he had come to perform ice magic, which was lacking compared to telekinesis.
Asher, who was gradually moving up north, arrived in Rundalian just an hour ago, and when he went there after a commotion, he said that he had helped because beastmen who looked like bandits were attacking the human guild. A witch’s voice came from the Vajra stuck in the inside pocket of his coat.
[It’s true!]
Judging from the large backpack and the way he spoke, it didn’t seem like a lie. I’ve been through all sorts of coincidences in my life. Ronan muttered that in a whisper and lightly tugged on one side of Asher’s cheek.
“Still, you should have told me in advance if you were going to come to the northern part of Inma. I wish you would have come with me.”
“I’m sorry… It was decided after a while after vacation…”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Because thanks to you, everyone didn’t get hurt. good job.”
Ronan removed his hand from the ball and gently tousled Asher’s hair. I wondered what would have happened if I hadn’t brought this bastard from Nimburton.
hard working genius. In addition, to the fine heart. Being timid to the point of frustration was the essence of Jade, but that was no longer a flaw. Except for just one field. Marja approached with a smirk and hugged him.
“that’s right. We lived thanks to our cutie. How can I repay this favor?”
“Ooh…! oh grace It’s okay, Marya.”
The two of them looked like a younger brother and older sister who had a very special relationship. It was good to be friendly, but it wasn’t a very desirable look for Asher, who had to aim for more.
‘That asshole.’
I felt like I could repay you for being indebted to you. Ronan, who waited for Marja’s hug to end, called Asher.
“Assel. Follow me for a second.”
“Ugh huh? Where are you going?”
“Don’t be noisy and come here.”
Ronan, who was forcibly shouldered with him, moved on. Ronan, who was entering a more and more obscure place, stopped only when he arrived at the back of a wagon. Asher, who felt an instinctive ominous feeling, stuttered and asked.
“Roronan. Come on?”
“Assel. Listen carefully. In my view, now is an opportunity.”
“Is this a chance…?”
“There is a limit to cuteness alone. If you really like it, you have to bump into it as a man. And from my point of view, now is the right time.”
Ronan said while rubbing Asher’s shoulder. Asher, not understanding the meaning, shook his head from side to side.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Climb. It’s Marja’s story. you like him.”
“omg…!”
Asher, who breathed in vain, froze as it was. His ears, exposed through his hair, were ripening bright red. Ronan glanced at the outside of the carriage and continued.
“If you really want to get along well with Marja, from now on you have to show your romantic charm. If you are satisfied with your current relationship and relieved, you will see hell. Do you understand me?”
“Is it hell?”
“Okay, let me give you an example. I mean, that’s pretty terrible. You came to the club after class as usual, but the door that should have been closed is slightly open. Sensing something instinctively, you bring your eyes to the crack in the door. But damn, Marja and Braum are kissing in the back. It’s also a fucking deep kiss where you check each other’s dental health with your tongue.”
“What is that…!”
“Use your imagination, Asher. You can’t take your eyes off the hellish scene and keep staring at it. The two people who didn’t notice you came will continue on to the next action. While sucking my ears and kissing my neck. And the hand goes down… oh fuck it.”
As he was describing a hopeless future, Ronan spat on the floor. All of a sudden, I felt dirty because I connected him with the ugly Braum. Asher, who was completely white, cried and asked.
“Why are you saying that…?”
Even though it was a simple family, Asher’s heart was already broken. Unknowingly, the fact that I had drawn Ronan, not Braum, as Marya’s opponent, acted as a more fatal blow. Judging from Marja’s actions he had seen so far, it was a very probable story.
“Assel. Is it okay for Marja to be another bastard’s woman?”
“Ah…That’s for Marja to decide…”
“That’s natural, man. I’m asking your doctor right now. Will you come to your senses if I give you another example?”
“Oh no! don’t do it!”
Asher shook his head vigorously. The story from a moment ago seemed to come as a great shock. He muttered something to himself, but he muttered in a low voice.
“…no. I absolutely hate it.”
“Okay Asher. That’s right. Now I’ll tell you what to do.”
Ronan put his arm around Asher again and whispered something. Asher’s face brightened. After a while, they finished talking and went to the front of the carriage. In the distance, Marja and Adeshan were conversing.
“How far have you been? Be honest, sister.”
“How far…? I haven’t done anything yet.”
“Hmm, just by looking at your eyes, I think you might have kissed. Just trust me and try to do it just once?”
“That’s like that…”
Marja was giggling as her shoulders shook as she wondered what was so interesting. Adeshan hung her head as if she had committed a sin. Ronan shrugged at the incomprehensible sound.
‘What’s so exciting about it?’
The women seemed to have their own fun. Soon Ronan, who was nervous, patted Asher on the back. He shouted in a voice so loud that he seemed to be somewhat exaggerated.
“Mama Ma Mara!”
“huh?”
Marja and Adeshan turned their heads at the same time. Asher’s face was already red with a color not much different from his own hair.
I really wanted to run away, but I couldn’t because Ronan had his hand on the hilt from behind. He strode forward and stopped in front of Marja.
“What’s up, cutie?”
“It’s not all different. You said you were looking for more mercenaries, right?”
“Yeah it was. Why is that?”’
“That’s… so. That’s…”
Marja tilted her head. Somehow Asher’s appearance seemed different from usual. He just took a deep breath and couldn’t say anything important.
‘no. As expected, I’m here.’
Just as he was about to turn around, the story Ronan had told him a while ago flashed into his mind. The half-open door of the club. Marja with someone else. A hopeless situation in which life expectancy is shortened just by imagining it. Asher, who finally stopped breathing deeply, closed his eyes and opened his mouth.
“…I will protect you. May I accompany your company?”
“yes.”
Ronan, who was watching, clenched his fists. It was the size of an ant, but it was clear. Besides, the fact that he didn’t even stutter was conveying joy comparable to when Darman’s head was beheaded. Marja, who blinked in place, smiled softly.
“Oh~ Is my cutie protecting me? Why all of a sudden?”
“After training can be done anywhere in the North… I want to do it! Wow, it won’t be perfect…”
“No, it’s good enough. Is this really strong?”
Marya came in, interrupted abruptly, and grabbed Asher’s cheek with both hands. The little face turned bright red. Ronan, who was watching the scene alongside Adeshan, opened his mouth.
“I want to do better this time. isn’t it?”
“Yes. I know. You two go really well together.”
“Anyway, I hope the two of you stop acting carelessly and start dating soon. I want it because it’s frustrating.”
“Notice…yeah, that’s right.”
Adeshan glanced at his side face and sighed. I thought I could understand why people drink when they are frustrated.
Ronan, who passed the big task, stretched. I was worried about what to do now. Before going all the way to Heyran, he had to clear away the head of Jager’s party, but he couldn’t come up with a way.
If you just attack them, they will all run away, and since you don’t know their whereabouts, it was impossible to assassinate them.
“hmm?”
At that time, I saw the prisoners sitting on their knees in the corner, chained together. They were Jagger’s men who had been taken prisoner. They were moaning from the pain of the fall and lamenting their plight.
“Damn it…Jager is going to kill us. Failing again…”
“Think about living here. If you hold out a little longer, your colleagues will definitely come.”
“Maybe not a little. Almost all of the headquarters personnel have been dispatched.”
Ronan raised his eyebrows. Judging from the conversation, it seemed that the base was not too far away. Suddenly, a flash of light passed through Ronan’s mind. Unknowingly, he snapped his fingers and opened his mouth.
“senior. I had a good idea.”
“huh?”
“A way to infiltrate their stronghold. But the senior role is very important.”
“What is my role? What?”
Ronan briefly explained what he had planned. It was a method that could not have been attempted without her. Adeshan’s eyes widened.
“You want to take control of that mind and go to the main base? Because we were taken prisoner?”
“yes. There is no other way to infiltrate as clearly as this.”
“Yes, yes, but as you know, my ability to manipulate people is not yet…”
Adeshan murmured in a diffident voice. I had my first success last night, but it was just a stroke of good luck.
But I couldn’t bear to express my opinion that it would be unreasonable. Throughout her journey with Ronan, she has seen countless times the impossible become reality. Like Asher who didn’t stutter a moment ago. Taking a deep breath, she nodded.
“no. I have to.”
“great. Then let’s get started.”
Ronan first asked for an understanding from the wear tiger guard chief. It was an inhumane question about how many prisoners could be subjected to biological experiments. After watching the activities of Ronan’s party, he readily agreed.
“If you can repay the favor with something like that. Please don’t let me get upset.”
“It’s nice to be cool.”
Ronan shook hands with the captain. For some reason, it seemed that this tiger would be stronger than Jage. Now all that was left was to decide on a prisoner to guide them to their base. Adeshan said.
“Who would you like?”
“hmm. It would be convenient for someone with a certain level of status.”
The higher the reputation in the organization, the easier it will be to infiltrate. However, it was questionable whether these furry people would be obedient to such a fact. It was a car that I was worried about whether I should pull out at least one person’s nails. Suddenly, the wear bear who was kneeling in front of me shouted in a high-pitched voice.
“Be cursed, you inferior and filthy humans! The North belongs to the beastmen! This Umkhano centurion will bite your necks even in death!”
The loud voice drew all the attention around him. Ronan and Adeshan looked at each other at the same time. He looked back at Umkano and smiled.
“It has been decided.”
