The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 344
Chapter 344
The terrace that I used to talk to Bertus from time to time.
There, Bertus gets into the tea with trembling hands and drinks the tea while trembling to the point that the tea water overflows.
I couldn’t even look at Bertus with my head down.
i wanted to die
Bertus will want to kill me.
“how… … . Why did you do that?”
Bertus said quietly.
“… … because of money.”
“… … money? What does money have to do with dressing up?”
“That dress up contest… … . Because… … .”
“A dress up contest? Maybe a festival?”
“… … uh.”
“Isn’t things getting better these days… … ?”
“There is nothing wrong with being… … .”
“… … .”
With her head down, and a creeping voice, she said why she was dressed as a woman.
this.
Isn’t this the punishment that befell me?
Do you think this is the climax?
I don’t think there’s ever going to be a situation more difficult than this in my life. Now that I’ve received all the punishment, I think I can believe that there will be only happy things from now on?
-I
could see Bertus barely taking a sip of tea and putting the cup down with trembling hands.
“What the hell. no what… … . this.”
Bertus seemed to have no idea what to say.
It is Bertus whose mask has been removed, but not as usual, but in a different way.
“her. really. what is this… … . uh. her… … .”
“… … .”
Bertus seemed to have a flash of memory when he met me dressed as a woman.
The image of me doing a great distance with the knights.
The way my hands trembled.
Alcoholism and all that bullshit.
all that look.
all those moments.
it was all me
“… … .”
“… … .”
In thoughts mixed with a dog-like sense of shame.
“this… … . X feet.”
In the end, I silently listened to Bertus swearing softly, feeling like a criminal.
“… … sorry.”
“What are you sorry for? Yes, because you say you’re sorry! what am i different. uh! no! no it’s not! I’m just! uh! you. oh brother! uh! Just in good faith! uh! This crazy thing is real!”
“Who said what?!”
Bertus finally exploded.
I apologized for nothing, so I only cursed more.
* * *
Bertus’ gaze toward me changed.
A madman who would do anything for money.
Fortunately, Bertus seemed to have no intention of spreading rumors with a grudge against me.
I stumbled into my room with a soulless expression, as if even mentioning or thinking about it was polluting my mind.
I thought I might get caught somehow participating in the crossdressing contest, but I never imagined that I would confess.
“… … .”
It felt like hell, but more than that, my heart was pounding.
The accidental encounter with Bertus took a strange turn, leading to a background investigation.
If you start asking about your origin, hometown, and details of the past, no matter how many excuses you have in mind, there will inevitably be a hole.
No matter how clearly I deal with it, it doesn’t change that I’m the person who suddenly appeared last year. And that’s not hard to figure out once you start digging right.
It was a situation where Bertus could find out my identity from the wrong direction.
It was fortunate that he had confessed to the crossdressing contest and made Bertus psychologically throw away the crane. Even if he gets a fever, Bertus won’t delve into the matter.
Dress Up Mission… … .
As much as the reward was great, he could have beaten me in an unexpected corner.
The Lebarrier ranche gun was executed despite knowing it was dangerous.
However, the real danger was derived from the women’s dress up contest.
If Bertus had followed me further without asking directly, it could have been really dangerous.
but.
My life was in such a dangerous situation, so why did I feel more embarrassed and want to die?
For a while, I had no choice but to sit there as if nailed to it.
* * *
There was an incident where Bertus’s mentality and my mentality exploded at the same time, but Bertus was busy as expected, so he didn’t show up in the Royal Class Dormitory.
The fuse of numerous incidents that even I do not know well was burning.
Ellen hasn’t returned yet. Eventually I had to do my routine on my own.
Worry and anxiety can’t solve anything.
He had sparred with Olivia in swordsmanship, but lately he had been concentrating on mana management itself.
-Ugh,
the gymnasium where I am alone.
[Magic level reaches 20 (A-)]
[Special conditions have been met.]
[‘Magic management’ and ‘Magic response’ talents have evolved.]
[‘Talent – Magical control’ has been acquired.]
Gymnasium Looking through the mirror, I could see myself wrapped in refined mana.
In the end, I succeeded in reaching one of Ellen’s talents, mastery of magic.
I almost got discovered because of the women’s dress up contest, and I sold the side too badly.
As a result, he was able to get very close to mana control.
To be honest, I didn’t get a sense of it at all when I acquired magical power sensitivity and management talent. However, as a result, he was able to acquire magical power enhancement, so it was clear that the help of those two talents was considerable.
And I was able to use Magical Enhancement without auto-suggestion, and now I even got a higher level talent, Magical Control.
The horsepower rank is now A-, which is on the very high side.
– Kurleung!
As he felt a torrent of magical energy all over his body, it became possible to strengthen his magical power with a different feeling than before.
The operation of horsepower became more sophisticated and detailed, and the output itself became stronger.
It’s not the end just because you’ve gained magical control.
As I get used to it, the magic control talent will make me stronger.
I don’t think I ended up standing on the same starting line as Ellen. He’s still better than me and will grow stronger faster than me.
Numerous cheats have just made it possible to walk a little faster now.
You shouldn’t be satisfied with this level.
The moment you settle down, it’s over. I still have a long way to go.
Even so, it is felt that the understanding and utilization of magical power enhancement has increased a lot with only one talent of mana control.
I’m getting stronger unusually fast.
It is understood that such abnormal parts can be just like that under the name of the royal class, but how long can this last?
After training at the gymnasium, I returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and changed clothes.
– Chirp!
-Tok tok!
I saw a sparrow tapping the window of my room with its beak.
–
As soon as I opened the window, a sparrow came into the room and as soon as I closed the curtains, the sparrow took on a human form.
“Meet the deterioration.”
“uh.”
When entering the dormitory, it was Sarkegar who always took the form of a maid.
* * *
I sat in a chair and Sarkegar stood still in the center of the room with his hands together.
“The owner of demand has come.”
“I guess so. how is it?”
“I was a bit taken aback since I hadn’t received anything, but after hearing the circumstances, I’m in charge.”
To be honest, considering the age Lucinil has had, it doesn’t seem like the expression that he’s in charge. In reality, I wonder if the expression “leave me in charge” is correct because I’m just acting like a child.
“It must not have been exposed to the outside world, right?”
“Yes, late at night, I secretly came alone.”
Sarkegar is also infiltrated. So, Lucinil would take care of herself and be careful not to expose herself to the outside world.
I briefed Sarkegar about what had happened at the Vampire Council.
“It is a feat beyond imagination.”
“yes. I honestly never thought it would turn out like this.”
Sarkegar was satisfied that things turned out much better than expected.
“But you will have to be careful. I don’t know much about the Lord Vampires, but from what I’ve heard, the Antirianus seems dangerous.”
“yes. But I can’t hold it because I cover my hand.”
It’s not the time to cover cold or hot meals, so even if you’re suspicious, you’re in a situation where you have to join hands if he’s on your side.
“And Cantus Magna and Akasha… … . I don’t think it’s too risky.”
“yes. But there’s a very good chance that what I want is there. It must be a very powerful force by itself.”
“It seems the most ideal thing to do is to collide the Black Order and Kantus Magna and take on the position of a fisherman. The trouble is that I don’t know what the hell that Akasha is.”
Is it really right to stimulate Cantus Magna without knowing what Akasha is?
Sarkegar seemed to think I could covet Akasha well enough in terms of wanting power. regardless of whether it is possible or not.
“It seems to be gradually becoming something of a painting. Deterioration.”
Sarkegar smiled grimly. It gained the power of the Vampire Council, and the family head of demand joined the ecliptic to cooperate.
Sarkegar was genuinely happy that the four remnants of the demons were now completing something that could be called a force.
however.
Please don’t smile like that with a graceful face?
I think there will be cognitive dissonance because I smile like that with a face that looks genuine in the world!
Of course, the matter did not end there.
“How is the contact with the revolutionary forces going?”
“I’m looking carefully because acting rashly can make things go wrong. I didn’t know the entire leadership, but I was able to find out something about the list of those who were definitely involved.”
Sarkegar showed me a list of several characters.
Names, including Oscar de Gradias, are listed.
Most of them were bureaucrats from commoners, and there were also aristocrats among them.
“There are a lot of abandoned illegitimate children, especially from aristocratic families.”
“I guess so.”
Some illegitimate children of aristocratic families enter the temple while hiding their surnames. They could have been enrolled in the Orbis class.
An abandoned child of noble blood.
That resentment could turn into a desire for revolution. Most of the names would have been well verified by Sarkegar, so the participants would be certain.
But in the end, you don’t need small pikes.
What I need are the key factors. It’s my job to contact them and establish a cooperative structure with the demon forces.
And in Sarkegar’s roster, I was able to find a name I knew soon, even if I wasn’t familiar with it.
I pointed to the name.
“It may not be the head of this nobleman, but it is certain that he is a very important person.”
“I will.”
Owen de Getmora.
The name of the merchant guild master was written there.
The Merchant Guild Master provided a huge amount of research funds to the Magic Research Society. It was paid in the form of a price for closeness with the imperial family.
After that, there was no specific request or contact with the Merchant Guild, but they are now sweeping the money. It’s because the Merchant Guild supplies all the items that go into the magic train shop business. And I didn’t have any problems with them either.
The result of Sarkegar’s investigation was that it was certain that such a Merchant Guild Master had joined the revolutionary forces.
“The guy who gave me money because he wanted to be close to the imperial family is supporting the revolutionary forces behind the scenes… … .”
I don’t know if he just wants money or if he really wants a revolution.
If this guy is the head, it’s important because it’s the head, and even if it’s not, it’s important because it’s the way to reach the head.
“good. Contact Owen de Getmora and contact him in the name of the Dark Lands if necessary. And depending on the situation, I may be able to face-to-face. Keep that part in mind.”
Sarkegar had a cautious expression.
“You should keep in mind that they might be frightened by the name of the Pandemonium and refuse to join hands with us, sir.”
“Hmm, I wouldn’t be able to do that.”
Sarkegar’s statement that there might be negative prospects made me a little skeptical.
“Once we get caught, they won’t know that terrible things will happen the moment we report it to the Empire. From the moment they caught our traces, if we don’t join hands, the only way is to die.”
Revolutionary forces must choose. If we don’t hold our hands, we can’t help but know that we can bring them down in other ways. We don’t have to do it ourselves.
It’s because all you have to do is hand over the secured list to the empire.
I might be able to deny that.
The Empire is in a very sensitive state due to the conflict with the Templars. If the additional threat of a revolutionary force is read, they will try to eradicate it with all their might.
So they won’t be able to turn away from us.
“I admired your wisdom, low.”
Contact with the revolutionary forces is left to Sarkegar.
“If you need it, get Lucinil’s help. There will be situations where you need magic more often than I do.”
“Okay, low.”
Sarkegar’s work is assisted by Lucinil, who is with him for the time being.
Things are progressing step by step.
As things progressed one by one in the name of Valier.
I will gradually move away from the identity of Reinhardt.
I watched Sarkegar quietly as he flew away as a sparrow.
