The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 560

Chapter 560

Ludwig didn’t get angry or angry when Cliffman said he was an idiot. Because he’s not that kind of guy in the first place.

However, he devoted himself to Dalian.

-puck!

-thud!

– Bahak!

It was painful to watch.

Cliffman dealt with Ludwig without really enhancing his magic power.

Ludwig was wrapped in blue magic all over his body, but he couldn’t even properly touch Cliff.

Without an arm, superhuman quickness and strength were obstacles to Ludwig.

I couldn’t even run properly. It was awkward to run because I was out of balance.

Without even a weapon, Cliffman used Ludwig’s power against him and knocked him over or knocked him down.

He relentlessly attacked Ludwig’s empty right side.

Attack only weak points.

Without even enhancing his magic, Cliffman literally played with Ludwig.

Ludwig’s left-handed sword could not touch Cliffman’s anywhere.

Rather, as if the sword itself was Ludwig’s penalty, Cliffman took advantage of Ludwig’s sword’s trajectory and grabbed or kicked the sword to subdue Ludwig.

To the point where using a weapon is rather a weakness.

“I used to be strong, but… … . You seem to be stronger, Cliffman.”

Ludwig stood up with his left arm on the ground and laughed awkwardly. Cliffman was neither laughing nor angry.

“You know it’s not.”

“… … .”

“You are weak. To the point of being inconvenient.”

Ludwig had no answer to Cliffman’s miserable point.

If Ludwig was in his original state, Cliff wouldn’t have been able to overwhelm him like this without even strengthening his magic power.

“There are people who have become masters by training weapons like that with only their left hand and right hand. it’s not that there isn’t It’s not that there wasn’t a one-armed swordsman, and there must have been people like that in the master class.”

Cliffman says.

“But the time given to you is at most two months, and at most three months. It’s impossible for you to reach that level in that time. It’s impossible.”

You have to adapt to a different body and adapt to a different fight.

If Ludwig goes on like this for 20 years, it might be a master class to single-handedly slaughter monsters.

But time is running out.

It is not arrogance or arrogance to have the skills to fight like this within two months, it is just an overly optimistic fool’s delusion.

“You have to do something. I can’t give up like this. Even if I die, if at least one person can not die because of me… … .”

“I think it was said that Delphine wouldn’t have died if it wasn’t for you, isn’t it?”

“… … .”

Ludwig’s eyes widened at Cliffman’s rant.

Did Cliff, who didn’t know how to treat people, suddenly become a guy who could say such harsh things?

Too many deaths changed everything.

Cliffman was no exception to that.

“Is it rude to say that Delphine died while trying to save Scarlett, because you overworked yourself?”

“No excuse. Because it’s true.”

Ludwig calmly nodded at Cliffman’s rant.

Ludwig himself must have been thinking the most about what Cliffman said.

That’s why he was supposed to be self-studying.

Ludwig was not outraged by Cliffman’s words.

I nod my head quietly.

“that’s right. I killed Delphine. It’s all my fault. My fault for being weak… … .”

“If you know you’re wrong, you shouldn’t do more wrong.”

“okay. So I’m looking for something I can do with a body like this… … .”

“That is more wrong.”

Cliffman shakes his head.

“If you die trying to do something like this, do you think you have no shame because you worked hard until the end?”

“Don’t you think about the feelings of those left behind?”

“You know how the person left behind feels, but how would other people feel if you died fighting over a topic like this?”

“Ludwig. It looks like you intend to beat the scarecrow until this winter is over, but don’t.”

“The best thing you have to do is go back to the ecliptic.”

“Don’t act like someone who is about to die. Go back to a place where there is no fighting.”

It’s not that I don’t understand Cliffman’s heart when he says this to Ludwig.

Doing nothing helps.

If you die like this, you will make other people suffer more.

“You take good care of yourself. Be nice and don’t say anything harsh to anyone. That’s right.”

As if knowing Ludwig’s disposition, Cliffman approaches and puts his hand on Ludwig’s shoulder while looking straight into his eyes.

consideration.

goodness.

“Now you have to take care of us.”

“… … .”

“You are having a very bad influence on the atmosphere of the entire Royal Class Garrison.”

An obsession with fighting close to madness.

The one-armed one-armed figure, struggling to get up and do something even as he stumbles and falls.

In that look, people don’t see the greatness of human beings.

All I see is a one-armed man struggling in despair.

People look at Ludwig now and despair.

“Saying that you’re going to kill one more monster doesn’t care about us, and it’s not for people. Your return to the ecliptic is to be considerate of us. Preserving our lives at least would give us hope. So that you can even think that you are safe and in a safe place. go back.”

real care.

Ludwig would never have thought that he was a nuisance to people.

He didn’t know how hard it was for people to act like he’s ruining the mood and dying soon.

Ludwig doesn’t know how to give up.

But Ludwig is basically nice and considerate of others.

It’s good that you’re not here.

that’s caring

So give up.

“… … .”

Ludwig couldn’t deny Cliffman’s words.

* * *

Cliffman lashed out at Ludwig and went back.

Ludwig was alone in the dark gymnasium.

As Cliffman said, Ludwig’s actions gave off a thick shadow of death.

In the desperate look of Ludwig, death was literally felt. That’s why people couldn’t help but think that Ludwig would die soon, apart from feeling sorry for Ludwig.

It hurts everyone.

Ludwig would be stubborn if his own affairs only affected him.

However, Ludwig learned from Cliffman’s words that his stubbornness also harmed others.

Ludwig, who stood silently in the gymnasium for a while, left the gymnasium after hanging his sword in the arsenal.

It was unknown whether Ludwig would give up his stubbornness and quietly return to the emperor, or whether he would fight further despite that.

However, it seemed clear that he was thinking about how his action of running towards an obvious death would be reflected on to others, and how the people left behind would feel if he really died.

* * *

After watching Ludwig, I continued to wander around the Royal Class Garrison.

“Oh, you’re here.”

Adriana saw me, squatted down, and gently stroked my hair.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

Adriana’s slightly smiling smile was covered with deep sadness.

Death of Ard de Gritis.

The relationship between Ard and Adriana was a strange one that was difficult to return to as just friends, but the fact that they were comrades who had fought through the battlefield would not change, whether they were friends or not.

It is natural for Adriana to mourn his death.

Ard bumped into me at first, but after that, after apologizing to each other, there was nothing left to say.

I also thought he was a good guy after all.

Adriana stroked me a few times and headed somewhere.

It’s obvious, but it doesn’t mean we cry every day just because someone died or disappeared.

Sobbing and being sad every moment is impossible in the first place. You will still be able to laugh, talk happily, and sing a song or something.

But even if you don’t cry every day, the shadows accumulate.

I saw an ineradicable shade of sadness slowly add to everyone’s complexion, and it piled thickly on Adriana’s complexion.

* * *

Ellen was not in the garrison in the first place, but even after entering Ellen’s barracks, she could not be seen. Somehow, even though I’ve been dying all day, it’s not there.

I’m also curious about Ellen’s condition, but I came to figure out the overall situation of the Royal Class Garrison and collect information.

So after making sure that Ellen’s barracks were empty, I continued to wander around.

The most important thing at this point is the situation regarding the Empire reviving the corpse.

First of all, what happened to the bodies in the imperial mausoleum?

And what happened to the bodies that were replaced in the National Cemetery.

And what happens to the bodies of the dead.

If you are actually doing such work or experiment, is it because there is a secret space in the Allied Garrison?

I’m guessing this and that, but I haven’t confirmed anything with my own eyes.

In the case of Titan, which was being developed by Adelia and the Grand Duke, information had already been obtained in advance. I don’t know the detailed technology or method, but it wasn’t a top secret that I was making a giant weapon.

Rather, since such a weapon was in the process of being produced, morale would rise significantly once it was completed, so it would not have been necessary to keep it a secret.

In fact, countless soldiers who saw the majesty of Titan must have felt that there was hope in this war as they saw the huge body crushing enemies.

However, bringing the dead back to life must be kept strictly confidential. So neither Sarkegar nor I had any information about him.

The scary thing is that

Wouldn’t the dead of the royal class also be resurrected as death knights?

In the case of Ard and Delphine, the bodies were not found.

In the case of Kadina Ain, a first year student, there was a body.

It is not known what the funeral procedure was like. However, it may be stolen in some way and turned into a Death Knight.

What will happen if you find out that your dead friend has become a Death Knight?

And one more frightening guess.

Turning someone into an undead is highly likely to involve black magic unless Kier’s power is used.

B-6 Anna de Guerna.

A guy who has a talent for black magic and actually raises dead monsters on the battlefield to fight.

I saw that his tent was empty.

time is night.

Even though it was late at night, he did not return.

* * *

It is still unclear whether Anna is involved in the work or not.

However, it is useless to question whether, no matter how gifted, such an important and secret work is being carried out, including a wizard who is only 20 years old.

A magic research society that created power cartridges and moonshine.

Anna also helped Christina to create moonshine, so that ability has already been confirmed.

And no matter how much knowledge Adelia had about the Grand Duke and the Duchy of Saint-Ouan, she had already played a decisive role in creating the Titans.

Temple 2 graduates are therefore special even within the Royal Class.

Although one 3rd year was included, an internal club made up of 2nd year students had already created two artifacts that would go down in history as students.

Even made a titan there.

Not only does it include the demon lord, but there is even a hero.

Even in the long history of the temple, those from the second year of the royal class are bound to be treated as very special outliers.

So, the possibility that Anna de Guerna, who has a talent for black magic, is involved in the clandestine project that the Empire is currently working on… … . should be considered high.

I had no choice but to get Kono Lint’s cooperation in making the Death Knight.

There was no law against the empire not making such a proposal to Anna.

It is possible to have Anna resurrect the body of the fallen for the reason that it can not be helped. Even the temple has a black magic curriculum and black magicians, so Anna is not the only available black magician.

I look at Anna’s tent, which is empty.

Where did you go?

do you want to come back

Anna’s tent was open, so I went inside and looked around, but of course there was nothing to get proper information about.

-I was stunned for about 30 minutes because I smelled the wrong scent of catnip in the tent

.

* * *

Pestilence.

Anna’s tent was a minefield in a different way to me.

I’m obviously good at resisting poison, but why doesn’t it work on catnip?

I barely escaped the catnip leaves and escaped Anna’s tent.

Seeing that Anna didn’t come back even though it was late at night, would I be spending the whole winter in a laboratory or something like that?

As I staggered out of Anna’s tent, I heard the clank of armor in the distance.

-Thanks for your hard work, warrior.

-… … yes.

In the distance, Ellen was returning to the Royal Class Garrison.

From the looks of it, it seemed that he had been on a mission somewhere until this night.

-Aeong

“Ah… … .”

Ellen’s steps quickened a little, as if she had heard crying in the distance.

When Ellen met me in front of Anna’s barracks, she remembered something she had forgotten.

He must have had no time to care or think, given that he was terribly busy and still had work to do after the quiet of the Serandia neighborhood.

Ellen, who approached me wearing armor, squatted down and tried to touch me, but was startled.

Ellen looks at her gloves.

There were dried black bloodstains.

Did you come after defeating the monsters?

-Then

he carefully takes off his gloves and gently tickles the tip of my nose.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter much if I don’t take it off, but he seemed worried that it would affect me.

When the gloves are removed, Ellen’s still thin, white hands are revealed.

He touched the tip of my nose with his hand a few times.

“It was fine… … .”

She was about to speak, but Ellen kept her mouth shut.

Do you think that saying how are you doing doesn’t match the reality of this place?

I could feel that Ellen was suffering mentally, to the point where she had to choose what to say to the animals.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

-Aang

Ellen strokes me a few times and then looks towards her tent.

“It will be cold. Let’s go in.”

-White steam was coming out of Ellen’s mouth .

There was no denying that it was definitely cold.

Ellen led the way and I followed.

Anyway, it was wrong to dig up information about Anna today.

Like everyone else, there was an indelible shadow on Ellen’s face.

How is the problem of the ghosts going?

It was going to be harder for Ellen to endure the more mentally and driven she was.

Still, there would be no major fights during this winter, so there would be relatively few deaths.

Entering the tent, Ellen took off her armor and headed for the bathroom.

No, don’t try to walk and look back in my direction.

“Wash… … .”

-Aye!

“… … You still hate it.”

Ellen went to the bathroom alone, as if not to force it.

According to Double Accident, I’m not Reinhardt, but a cat, so it doesn’t matter if I go in with you!

It’s not that it’s not!

Looking inside the bright tent, Ellen’s gloves as well as her armor were covered in dark bloodstains.

No, it wasn’t from catching a certain monster, but it must have been dealing with a group of monsters.

Even when the garrison held its breath, people like Ellen and Saviolin Tana wouldn’t have time to rest.

I sat on the cot and waited for Ellen to wash up and come out.

however.

Whenever it’s like this, I always feel… … .

Assuming everything worked out later.

I don’t know what it is, but I don’t know if I should call it reconciliation or something.

Anyway, everything is solved.

If only then Ellen knew this cat was me.

Wouldn’t this just kill itself?

To be honest, I don’t think I have anything to say.

It’s true that this is the most bizarre perversion among perverts.

Even thinking about it, it was funny in the end.

I don’t know what will happen, but I’m worried about what will happen if I get caught.

If everything can be worked out, it doesn’t matter if something like this is discovered ten million times.

While the cat was yawning in such complicated thoughts, Ellen returned soon after.

Ellen had changed into comfortable clothes and was wearing slippers.

The only moment Ellen can be comfortable is this moment when she returns to this barracks.

Normally, I’d wrap my whole body in that fancy armor.

Wouldn’t it be frustrating?

No, even if it’s frustrating, it’s not that the armor is frustrating, but other parts are more frustrating.

Ellen sat down on the cot for a moment before placing me on her lap.

Then he starts stroking his back as if he were scratching it.

It smells good.

I don’t know if it’s more because it’s a cat… … .

uh… … .

It’s kind of like that, but it’s nice anyway, and that kind of weird feeling… … .

If you get caught on this, it will be a real death penalty… … ?

Even in casual clothes, the mysterious amulet hanging around Ellen’s neck continued to hang.

Is that amulet protecting Ellen?

Or is it just because Ellen is strong and she is holding on because she is special?

I don’t know.

But Ellen is still there.

Ellen sits me on her lap and looks down at me.

“I forgot.”

-Hey,

maybe I forgot about petting a cat like this in the barracks.

Rather than forgetting, there would have been no time to think about it.

There are too many things to worry about, and even after this battle, Ellen will have a lot of work to do.

So when Ellen just saw me in the form of a cat, Ellen looked as if she realized something she had long forgotten about.

Ellen puts me on her lap, then lifts me up and looks me in the eyes.

Ellen tilts her head.

“Should I be sorry for you?”

– A-Aeng

“I feel strange.”

-Aeong

“If you think you’re safe and fortunate… … . I don’t think so.”

There were battles where too many died to rejoice at the survival of a single cat, and even the royal class suffered casualties.

How much pressure and responsibility does Ellen feel?

“In the world… … . It seems that there are people who should not have been born.”

Ellen is holding me and gently hugging me.

“I think there are people who would have been lucky not to have been born.”

Are you even thinking like that?

Because we regard all of this as our own responsibility, we end up wishing that it never existed. We wish for a world where we never existed.

Like that, Ellen and me.

end up thinking the same thing.

“If I were as small as you… … . I wish I had.”

Because it has such a great influence on the world that it has a terrible adverse effect.

Still, I have to fix it.

Ellen seemed to long for insignificance.

If he had been an insignificant existence, he would have had only insignificant influence, so do you think that this would not have happened because of himself?

“If I were a nobody… … . It would have been nice.”

Ellen’s words.

“then… … . It would have been nice.”

It sounded terribly sad.
