I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127
Wizards of the Magic Tower (5)
“That sleepy idiot…!”
Elder Ardmalek, the head of the enemy magic school, could not hold back his anger as he radiated blazing magic.
When the Black Wave wizards went missing, he ignored them, calling them stupid, but now he can’t bear to laugh.
If he was a wizard of a moderately low class, he would have simply abandoned it. The problem is that the kidnapped Professor Jolyn is a direct disciple of Elder Ardmalek.
Professor, a 7th floor mage who is just below Elder Ardmalek, an 8th floor mage. This means that he is the next elder of the school.
Although he is a magic tower that treats his students worse than a graduate student, once he becomes a top student, he is a valuable successor.
I cannot afford to lose my best disciple, who was selected from young chicks with innate magic power and genius and raised over decades, like this.
“I admit he did something stupid, but we have to save him!”
Admalek’s honest admission. And the magicians of the Black Magic School expressed their disapproval at the request for cooperation.
The same goes for Arkai of the Black Wave, Elder Morshtan’s best disciple.
“This is the Red Faction’s business. It is our Black Faction’s duty to participate in the war…”
“Shut up, you brat. Who gave you permission to speak?”
Ardmalek looked at Elder Morstan, the leader of the Black Faction.
Whatever it is, the absolute decision-maker of the school is the elder-level mage. There is no need to listen to the opinions of those below.
“…Help.”
“Master Shi?”
“It’s not just a matter of the school… he’s found out our purpose.”
“It’s just like you said. Who on earth is this guy?”
There were too many questions.
Who is the clown in the video and how far did the information spread?
Meanwhile, a mid-ranking mage of the Red Faction carefully advised his teacher, Admalek.
“Master… since what he’s asking for is gold coins, it’s a good idea to raise funds first…”
“Stupid! The Magic Tower doesn’t negotiate with guys like that!”
Mage Tower’s pride does not allow it to obediently donate money. Although it was important for Admalek to rescue his best disciple, he also did not want to bend his pride.
“If he leaks information… he will commit misdeeds…”
“I know!”
Admalek didn’t say it out of pride, but first of all, raising money is the problem.
Where do they get that much money to go on a business trip from the Magic Tower?
“There’s still time… we have to search for him.”
“We’ll need assets to track him down. The second princess has just entered the school… so we’ll need to ask for her help.”
“I agree.”
There is still time.
The wizards of the Magic Tower decided to track down the clown first.
* * * *
Now, their butts must have been on fire.
There are three main actions they can take in this situation.
1. Be silent and take collective action. In other words, the captured wizards are discarded.
2. Arrange the money as I requested.
3. Hunt down the clown and take revenge.
no. 1? That can’t be possible. At least as much as Elder Admalek of the red faction.
Even if that bad-tempered old man can maintain patience, the Jolin I hold is the only successor to the Red Faction, even if he looks like this.
The wizards of the Magic Tower abandon their surnames and show themselves off only with their names and schools.
For Admalek, the enemy school of magic was his family and the product of his life as a magician.
There is no way to easily abandon Jolin, the successor to that school.
Option 2 is also not a realistic option.
The wizards of the Magic Tower are elitists full of pride and pride.
To them, kidnapping and hostage-taking of wizards only brings anger and revenge and is not a subject of negotiation.
‘That’s why I gave it a week.’
Inevitably, they choose number 3.
Search and retaliation. Even if you agree to take the hostage, you’ll have to try three times.
So how will they find me here?
There is a way to request an information guild, or you can search it yourself… but the simplest way is to go to Princess Miriam.
“Please do me a favor, junior.”
“…….”
The boy in front of me. Hashashin’s descendants respond with silence.
“Suddenly saying it was a request and saying it was to monitor the royal family… It’s a serious crime that could result in the death penalty if you’re careful.”
“So you’re not asking your junior. You won’t get caught.”
“…No, whenever you tell me to walk the path of a knight.”
Rashid seems dumbfounded by my request. Actually, the request I made was an illegal request to monitor Princess Miriam and tell her what kind of conversations she had with the wizards of the Magic Tower.
“Junior!”
I grabbed Rashid ad-Din Mustali by the shoulder.
“What is chivalry!”
“What are you talking about out of the blue?”
“Saving the weak, doing good, and protecting justice is chivalry. Isn’t that right?”
“The way you talk is a bit…”
“Isn’t that so!”
“……Yes.”
“In other words, it’s okay to be a little cowardly in terms of means.”
“No… isn’t that sophistry? Doesn’t chivalry say that you should be fair and square?”
“Justice for justice and evil for evil.”
“No, but you are spying on the royal family…”
“No, no, you are not spying on the royal family. You are spying on the wizards of the Magic Tower.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“The words are different, and the laws are different.”
I picked up a bag of gold coins and handed it to him.
“Advance fee. If you bring me the information, I’ll give you the same amount.”
“……Welcome, customer.”
Rashid eventually accepted my request. A guy who has just escaped from the assassins’ nest is as good as broke.
It was probably too much money to refuse my money.
Now, wait for Princess Miriam to contact the magic tower.
Video restraint: Clown makeup with torn mouth, purple suit. Miriam will soon discover the identity of the culprit.
Corin Locke.
I am the one who attracted a lot of aggro in the hunting ground forest.
If this happens, there will be no reason for Miriam not to report my identity to the magic tower.
The Magic Tower is one of her biggest sponsors, and a weakening of their power will soon lead to a weakening of Miriam’s position.
The subsequent expansion of the game leads to an attack by the guys. It strikes all at once. This is my plan. But…
“Oh, I don’t know. “There are clowns like this in this world.”
Contrary to my expectations, Miriam didn’t say a single word about me.
…………what?
* * * *
“The Magic Tower has been noisy recently.”
Chairman’s office. Master Erin opened her mouth as she lifted her teacup.
“As you expected, the Magic Tower is looking to see if we are related to the kidnapped wizards. Although they won’t be able to find out anything.”
“The problem is that the other person is not caught.”
Miriam did not give any information to the wizards of the Magic Tower who came to visit her. To put it bluntly, I did not say that I was the culprit.
“Why do you think he’s like that?”
“…You said you saw through it?”
“Then shouldn’t you have said more?”
You may have noticed Rashid’s surveillance. But is that possible?
Even I, who know its stealth characteristics, would not be able to notice it unless I engraved detection runes everywhere in advance.
At least, Princess Miriam would have no means of detecting Rashid’s hiding place.
So to take my side?
I don’t understand it even more.
She is a cold and calculating person.
I’m not the type of person who would throw away a certain side for something that may or may not be mine.
“Anyway, it looks like Corinne’s Plan A failed. If things continue like this…”
“They’ll use the midterm exam to do something.”
This is the situation I wanted to avoid the most.
If things were to go as planned, the wizards of the Magic Tower would invade the midterm exams and cause a catastrophe.
The warlocks, who have figured out the structure of the academy and the facilities such as the experiment building, scatter a large number of chimera undead, and the red wizards set fires everywhere, causing chaos.
Meanwhile, Elder Morshtan and Elder Admalek kidnap Marie, who is imprisoned in the basement of the academy’s main building… Lord Aedrin assassinates the chairman.
This is the original affair. This is an incident in which the damage to students was magnified by Aedrin’s magic.
I wanted to prevent this situation in advance.
Dressed as a clown, I draw aggro from the hunting ground, imprint myself in the eyes of Princess Miriam, and send a video of myself dressed as a clown to the magicians.
Based on the information Miram gave me, I was planning to catch the magicians under the name of an external mission when they were looking at me as the culprit… but
because Princess Miram did not report me, Plan A was ruined from the beginning.
“I will step forward.”
“But…”
“If Plan A fails, shouldn’t we switch to B? I’ll get the wizards’ attention.”
“No. What are you going to do when the King comes forward on his own?”
Tates Balthazar sealed his teacher in the Shadow Kingdom 80 years ago.
The reason she can interfere in this world of Saba is thanks to a doll called Eriu Kassar.
If this doll is destroyed, Master will not be able to intervene in the royalties, and in the end… ”
It’s okay. Even if this body breaks, I can now break the seal and come out. After 80 years, the seal has weakened. ”
“…….”
I didn’t like that. Because you died like that in the previous episode as well.
My goal in this episode is to make you never even come out of the shell that is Eriu Casar.
In order for Tates Balthazar to be crowned, he must kill Erin Danua, the current Queen of Paradise.
The plan was to prevent that situation in advance and leave Balthazar imprisoned in the Shadow Kingdom until he was killed.
“Rather than putting student Marie in danger, it would be better for this body, which doesn’t mind being broken, to take the risk.”
“…….”
There is no reason to refuse. Plan B is a plan made for times like this.
“Before… let me tell you one thing.”
“What do you mean?”
The appearance of Princess Miriam. And if her unexpected behavior was a variable, isn’t there another variable in this episode and this year?
“Let’s turn the tables on them. They have no choice but to take action.”
* * * *
“Elder Morshtan, the wizard of the Magic Tower. You are under arrest on charges of illegal human experimentation, murder, kidnapping and confinement.”
The way to school at the academy. They attacked the wizards of the Magic Tower who led their disciples as usual.
Academy main gate. A group of armed men wearing sacred clothing and armor confronting about 40 magicians.
“Paladin of the Protestant Church…! What on earth is this?!”
In terms of Catholicism, it is a military group equivalent to the Knights Templar.
They are spokespeople for the ‘power’ of Protestantism. The fact that they appeared in front of the wizards of the Magic Tower was probably something no one expected.
“…….”
Elder Morstan, the leader of the Black Sect, stared at the paladins who came to him.
As the head of the black faction, he is Madou, who led numerous human experiments. However, for the magicians of the Magic Tower, such suspicions are something they live with.
The problem is the evidence to prove this, and he cleaned up after himself more neatly than anyone else.
“Receive the aura calmly, Elder Morstan. There are serious charges of heresy hanging over you.”
“That’s ridiculous! The Magic Tower is extraterritorial! Even the church’s paladins can’t detain us!”
The wizards of the Magic Tower confronted the Paladins in unison.
The atmosphere was scary. The paladins who came to arrest the head of a school, one of the symbols of the Magic Tower, and the Magic Tower wizards who stood in their way.
Both are armed groups overflowing with combat power. If the two groups clash, it would not be surprising if a religious war breaks out.
“Everyone stop.”
It was then. A girl appears behind the paladins’ backs.
A gorgeous combination of white and gold. The one and only being of Protestantism.
“Saint Estelle….”
Estelle Hadassa el Ras. She intervened in this situation.
“What is going on here, Princess Estelle? Do you intend to persecute this magic tower?”
Professor Arkai. Morshtan’s best disciple raised his voice.
The authority and power of the Magic Tower does not lag behind that of Shinto. This means that the head of a school cannot be arrested based on suspicion alone.
“Of course, this saint recognizes the authority of the Magic Tower. However, the charges against Elder Morstan are serious. Now that the accusation has been made, there is a need to investigate.”
“Without evidence….”
“Of course there is evidence.”
Estelle smiled brightly and took out a document envelope and a video device. This is evidence filmed and recorded at the location provided by Corin Locke.
“This…”
Morstan also clearly looked embarrassed by these pieces of evidence.
A secret laboratory that cannot be discovered by anyone. How did Shingyo know about this place that even Lee Dong-gi entered secretly through a familiar?
“Article manipulation…”
“Stop. Our church is carrying out legitimate heresy interrogations according to the rules of the Lord and the royal family.”
As Estelle held onto the cross and chanted, a dazzling light flashed even in broad daylight.
A brilliant and warm glow.
A miracle of purification that purifies evil things.
The light radiating from Estelle is proof that she is loved by God.
Saint Estelle.
The necromancers who learned the apostles and magic spells only through her prayers looked distressed.
“Ugh…!”
Staring at them, Estelle, a Protestant saint, smiled sadistically.
“Do you want to follow along quietly, or do you want to get hit?”
The last word was very unbecoming of a saint, but it was enough to make the magic tower wizards submit.
* * * *
“Damn Protestants!!”
The wizards of the Magic Tower were in a gloomy mood.
Morshtan, the leader of the Black Faction, was arrested by the cult on charges of human experimentation.
This is a completely different problem from the kidnapping of low-level wizards or the best disciples of a school.
“This kind of bad news overlaps!”
“The rebellion must stop!”
“What kind of people are interfering with the great path of magic?”
The red faction wizards, with their fiery personalities, showed their enthusiasm, but the black faction was in a more chaotic mood.
The fact that their leader, Morshtan, was captured was too great.
Not only was the head of the school captured, but power was running low.
The targets, Marie Dunareff and Chairman of the Board Eriu Casar, are each strong players with ‘special’ characteristics.
To capture such strong men, at least an Elder or higher level of mages must be mobilized.
According to the original plan, it was Elder Morstan who captured Marie.
“Professor Arkai… Are you saying this is probably a good thing?”
“…….”
Morshtan’s best disciple, Professor Arkai, was enveloped in agony. Even in his opinion, there is only one way to reverse this conspiracy.
“The rebellion… must be brought forward. Before the master is taken to the church’s sacred place… we must burn the academy and take advantage of the chaos to rescue him.”
“Don’t be crazy! Professor Arkai! It’s not only a problem that you got robbed by some strange clown, but what kind of trick is he in this situation? We have to hurry back to the tower!”
“Isn’t the reason the plot was exposed in the first place because the professor there blew everything to the clown! The enemy faction is also responsible!”
“What? You dirty corpse lovers!”
“Did I say everything, fireboy?”
The heated voices between school wizards. Elder Admalek, the leader of the red faction, could not see this and created a fire to subdue them.
“Ugh?!”
“Elder Ardmalek?!”
The flames that developed without even reciting a spell crushed the magicians’ protective robes.
Overwhelming firepower that can suppress dozens of wizards at once. What is surprising is that this powerful fire does not scorch anything other than wizards.
“This is not the bottom of the market, you kids.”
“I’m sorry!”
“Please… help me!”
All wizards submitted to Ardmalek’s flames. Even if you are a professor or something, wizards are like ants whose lives will burn to death with a single gesture from the elder.
When the wizards’ disturbance calmed down, Admalek quietly stared at them and shouted in a loud voice.
“Lord Aedrin!”
The reason why high-ranking wizards, who treat the lives of low-level wizards like flies, always make even low-ranking wizards participate in meetings.
That’s because among them, the Golden Grand Wizard is in disguise.
Admalek had no doubt that Lord Aedrin would be among them and spoke proudly.
“Elder Morshtan has been captured, and Nogu’s strength alone is not enough. I must receive your direct assistance!”
“…….”
“…….”
The hall is silent. No one calls themselves Aedrine. It’s natural.
If he had intended to reveal his identity, he wouldn’t have disguised himself.
– Squeak!
-Dream…!
It was you. In the cabinet, everything containing metal, such as metal pens, badges, and canes, began to move freely.
“What about this?”
“Someone used magic…!”
The wizards looked around at each other, but no one could figure out who was currently practicing magic. Even Elder Ardmalek.
-Slap!
Eventually the metal stopped moving. It became a single sentence and was reported to the wizards.
“Seal the witch.”
The center of all this. Even though the operation was exposed and key personnel were arrested, the Golden Grand Wizard came to one conclusion.
It was forced.
