69 – How to prepare for mayhem

Invasion of Reynolds Academy.

It was an incident in volume 3 of the original work, [The Hero Loved by Everyone].

The ‘Demon Lord’, who hadn’t shown up properly in the meantime, starts to go on stage in earnest,

It was an episode in which strong enemies began to appear in front of Alan, who had no rivals within the academy.

In the original work, the Demon King’s army is subdued by the activities of Alan and Korn.

However, quite a number of students lost their lives and were injured.

“Hmm… the academy invasion…”

Sitting on the bench in the training room, I muttered that while looking out the window.

Perhaps, as far as I remember, if I get past this incident, I remember that nothing happened until the end of winter vacation…

I try to fiddle with the wooden sword in my hand.

It was because he remembered the contents of the ‘Main Quest’ he received a few days ago.

I quietly moved my lips and called the status window.

“Status window.”

ㅡTitling!

Along with the familiar mechanical sound, a blue window floated in front of my eyes.

I gently manipulated him with my fingers and brought up the main quest, especially the penalty section.

ㅡTitling!

[Main quest pending]

Title: Save the Academy!

[Penalty in case of failure]

1. Destruction of Reynolds Academy

2. All students died

“Huh…”

I sighed as I saw the [Penalty for Failure] text box shimmering in front of my eyes.

Rather than a sigh, it was an exhalation closer to surprise or a laugh.

……f*ck, the penalty is ‘death of all students’?

What kind of penalties are there…?

If you can’t stop one incident, the academy will be destroyed and all the students will die…

“I don’t think it will fail, but still…”

Still… it’s mongamonga.

It’s embarrassing, and it’s burdensome for nothing.

After looking at the penalty box for a while with a shallow drool, I move on to the next part.

The next thing that will appear in front of you is the [Compensation upon Success] text box.

ㅡTitling!

[Reward upon success]

1. Favorability toward academy students (+1500)

2. Point 2000p

3. Obtain the title ‘Hero of ■■’

4. Skill ‘Follow me!’ acheive

“Oh… the reward is nice.”

Certainly, as ridiculously strong as the penalty was, the quality of the reward was also superb.

Likeability and points, plus a title and a skill.

This was almost a complete set.

“Especially this ‘Follow Me!’ This skill is a skill Alan also possessed.”

(S+) rank buff-type skill, ‘Follow me!’ is a skill used by Alan in the middle of the original work,

It was a wide-area buff skill that strengthened the mental strength of allies around the caster and restored their physical strength when activated.

“Even in the original work, it was one of the best buff skills among (S) ranks… Probably.”

If you have this skill, it will be of great help in overcoming the upcoming events.

Of course, this incident that came right in front of us comes first, but…

“Whoa… First of all, I think I need to move… There are things I need to prepare for.”

I murmured and got up from my seat.

Three days until the invasion begins.

I guess I’ll have to move a little busier.

.

.

.

If I remember correctly, there will be two mid-bosses in this academy invasion.

Twin demons with red skin.

Lachius on the left arm and Tenebrios on the right arm.

Both of them are demons who hold the position of lieutenant officers in the demon king’s army.

I remember them as being portrayed quite strongly in the original work…

I couldn’t remember their abilities or special features.

That’s right, it’s been too long since I read the third volume they appear in.

Rather, it can be seen as a miracle to even remember these guys’ names.

I thought for a moment, visualizing the twin demons in my mind.

Lacius, and Tenebrios.

I vaguely recall how they were in the original work.

“Obviously… Rakius was stopped by Alan, and Tenebrious was stopped by Khorne.”

No matter how strong they are, there is a sky outside the sky.

There was no way that the two demons standing under the heavens could defeat Alan and Korn, who were the heavens and the outside world.

“In that sense, twins don’t have to worry.”

Even if it took a little effort, Alan and Coron would know and take care of it.

The problem was elsewhere.

“Those guys bring in a lot of monsters.”

This incident is literally an ‘invasion’.

An army of thousands of monsters will attack the academy.

If that happens, the academy will become a mess.

Even in the actual original work, rather than the person who was killed by the twin demons,

It was because there was a story that more people were killed by being swept away by the army of monsters.

“Is that the one I should be most concerned about…?”

How to stop the army of monsters?

That was the crux of this quest.

I let out a small groan and rubbed my chin.

“Hmm… After all, should I stop it?”

Lacius and Tenebrios attack at the front gate,

And since the place where the monsters come in is the back door,

Wouldn’t it be okay if I left the front door to Alan and Korn, and I blocked the back door?

I was lost in my worries, knocking only on my desk,

A knock was heard outside the door.

ㅡ smart

ㅡ Mr. Doryun? may I come in?

It was Rachel.

He replied by shaking off his thoughts at the sound of his voice.

“Oh, come in.”

ㅡ click, kiik

The door hinge creaks softly, followed by a brown-haired girl.

The brown eyes that radiate a transparent light smiled as soon as our eyes met.

It was a smile that warmed the heart somewhere.

As I smiled lightly after her,

She sneaks up and puts something on the desk.

“Now, here! It’s what the boy asked for!”

“Oh, you got it sooner than I thought. Thanks, Ray.”

Placed on the desk was a palm-sized crystal ball.

It emitted a bluish light, and was what the world called a ‘telephone’ or a ‘magical tool for communication’.

Read at noblemtl. com

Judging by the deep blue color, it seemed to be quite high-end.

It wouldn’t be easy to find something like this.

After all, Rachel was a competent maid.

“Hehe~ What’s so good about me is a day or two? You don’t have to look at me like that~”

To Rachel who said that, she blew a sincere blow,

I turn my gaze again and look at the crystal ball.

This… how did it work?

Utilizing Raiden’s memories vaguely floating in his head, he manipulates the crystal ball.

Before long, a crystal ball that starts to connect somewhere.

“Um? Master? Where are you calling from?”

“You’ll know when you connect.”

ㅡTurrrr… Turrrr…

With the ringing in my ears as the background sound, I fall into thought for a while.

First of all, one of the most important things in this quest.

To not hurt the people around me.

Stopping the invasion and saving the academy is next.

‘no way. What hurts my surroundings…’

I muttered that to myself and bit my nails.

Three days later, the academy becomes a mess.

There is no guarantee that people like Ariel, Lucy, and Rachel will be safe in the abyss.

Someone could get hurt…or die.

ㅡTurrrr… Turrrr…

The call I am making now was a countermeasure against him.

How to keep the people around you safe even in a chaotic situation—

“Rachel. I’ll probably go down to my parents’ house with Ariel for a few days.”

“Yeah…? Suddenly?”

“Yeah, that happened.”

—-Getting the people around you out of that situation.

It was the easiest and surest way.

ㅡTurureu… It’s a click.

The long ringing tone is cut off, and the signal is connected.

After that, a gentle old man’s voice is heard.

-{The butler, Gilbert, answered the phone.}

“Ah, it’s been a while. Old man.”

-{This voice is… Master…?}

“Yes, I am.”

I tried to be a little glad to hear the voice after a long time, but

There was no such thing as poetry for a long conversation.

“Grandfather, am I in a hurry right now?”

ㅡThat’s why…

“Could you change my father right now?”

.

.

.

The conversation with my father, which I hadn’t had in a long time, was awkward.

I had to scratch the back of my head several times at the awkwardness that came over me.

-{……So, is that what you mean by suddenly making a phone call?}

-{Send Ariel and Rachel to their parents’ house for a week?}

“Haha… that’s right…”

The tongue hardens on its own.

The echo of the word ‘Father’ is probably because of the repulsion it gives me…

It was difficult to deal with strangely.

-{……I haven’t contacted you once in the past 4 months.}

“haha…..”

-{To think you raised something like this as a son…}

“ha ha ha…..”

All that comes out of his mouth is a muffled laugh.

I feel a cold sweat running down my back.

Damn, did you think you should have contacted me occasionally?

I couldn’t think

-{Huh…. For now, I get it.}

-{I’ll send a wagon tomorrow.}

“Haha… Thank you, Father…”

I got permission easier than I thought.

I didn’t ask why they were sending the two of them to their parents’ house.

‘Come to think of it… Raiden before he became an asshole, he received infinite trust from his father.’

Thanks to my evaluation, which has been improving lately, and the articles floating outside the academy,

I wondered if I had regained some of the trust I had back then.

As he fiddles with the crystal ball, which has lost reception, he is overcome with strange feelings for a moment.

However, you soon come to your senses.

There is no time to get lost in idle thoughts.

Because time is gold

Move your hand again to move the crystal ball.

With Rachel and Ariel’s safety secured, all that’s left is Lucy.

If so, where should I contact you next?

– {Imperial Maid, Bella. I got a call.}

“Oh, Bella. Long time no see.”

-{…..Princess Raiden?}

“I don’t have much time right now, but can you connect me directly with His Majesty the Emperor?”

-{A connection with His Majesty…?}

“Yes, if I told you I called, you’d probably pick it up.”

Now, let’s get some help from His Majesty the Emperor.
