Theorem(2)

In the basement of Central Police, there is a facility called ‘Archives’.

It is a place to record and store the main characters and events that occurred in various parts of the dimension, and the density of the information is detailed enough to engrave every detail.

“Wow. Is this a true story of Jang Seo-ryang?”

Skadi groaned from inside the archives.

Because he had sneaked in, his steps were as light as a cat’s.

“As expected… I can’t just go on hearing those words.”

What Adeline said.

Skadi couldn’t get past those words.

It may be a simple guest, or a fleeting curiosity.

It may be a dangerous attack that was kicked out of a shallow crush, but magicians are originally a family that is faithful to the present.

Skadi had no intention of ignoring her instincts as a mage.

“Let’s see… Earth… Earth…”

Because it is so far away, you have to go in for a while.

Surveillance cameras, security magic, and patrol drones roamed around, but none found Skadi.

「Stealth」「Subtlety」「Spiritification」「Silence」etc…

There were more than ten types of magic she wore.

Since the 9th Circle Wizard was determined and enchanted, even the secret department’s security had no chance to find her.

“Earth Earth… Ah here.”

A complete corner of the archives.

There was a storage stand assigned to Earth in a corner where even the light was not good.

Of course, there were layers of security certifications, but that was nothing to Skadi.

“Heng. I’m a 9th circle wizard.”

She unlocked the security at once by manipulating magic, and found information about Yujin Kang using 「Search」 magic.

Since the embargo Helios had lifted, his information would also be detected.

“found.”

In the shabby storage desk, only Kang Yoo-jin’s materials were neat.

It meant that there were a lot of people who had been paying attention.

They say they are like perverted nobles.

I shook my shoulders and opened the book.

Neatly written content was very neatly organized.

“I lost my family in an air raid at the age of 17… I worked as an incompetent person for 3 years after becoming a hunter… What is it? An incompetent person?”

Skadi’s eyes widened as she read the contents.

Because the life he lived was an unimaginably gruesome and dense time.

“Magical implantation surgery? Did you do such an ignorant thing?”

Magical transplant surgery is a procedure in which the incompetent is forcibly endowed with magical organs.

It is natural that it is not good for the body to insert organs that did not exist.

It’s not just bad, you have to drastically reduce your lifespan.

For such a subject, the efficiency was very poor, and it was a procedure that was banned at the central level from the beginning.

“This person… was originally an incompetent person.”

He was a normal person without any powers, but he was a person who hunted monsters.

Then, the power was so desperate that he awakened while cutting his own lifespan.

And the reason for this is hatred for the Witchbeast… and a desperate need for power.

I swallowed dry saliva and turned the page to the next page.

“Join the death squad ‘Pentagram’. They are graduates of our school.”

We trace his footprints, his turbulent life, one by one.

I don’t know what kind of voyeuristic perverts were few, but the contents of the book were detailed and detailed.

And.

“ah.”

She saw ‘the incident’.

“I personally killed ‘Maria Lawrence’, who was undergoing ‘Magic Transformation’…”

The flow of gaze stopped at that sentence.

“… ‘Maria’ turned out to be Yujin Kang’s lover.”

At that moment, Skadi closed the book.

I couldn’t read any more.

“·······.”

It was just, pathetic.

A person who lost all of his family, a lover who opened his heart with difficulty.

When he had to kill such a person with his own hands, what kind of feeling did he have?

Skadi couldn’t imagine that feeling.

“I heard that you have a very nasty personality.”

had such a past.

It seemed that even if he stabbed him, not a single drop of blood would come out, but he had already been stabbed countless times and had lost all his blood.

“Ah… I shouldn’t have read it…”

He covered his face with both hands and sighed.

Guilt set in later.

Because I didn’t know it would be this terrible.

It was an area that should not be approached only out of curiosity.

A part of my heart was heavy because I felt like I had seen a part that I shouldn’t have seen.

And on the other hand, I remembered what he had said.

‘We have to live for tomorrow.’

Even with so many wounds, he talked about tomorrow.

What the hell is that, how strong can you say it?

“I was just devastated and cried out loud.”

You don’t want your comrades to die.

Because I had already lost a lot, I wouldn’t have faced that situation anymore.

“…But, one thing is wrong.”

I put the book in and left the storage room.

In her eyes, there was a serious light in her eyes.

“I’m not weak enough to be behind you.”

A person who tries to do everything alone will collapse someday.

Skadi has seen many such people in her life.

Yujin Kang is a strong person, but the fate he has to overcome is too harsh for him to endure alone.

“… Let’s see. I can’t live on debt alone?”

I’m the one who can stand beside you, not behind you.

So you can see the front side by side.

I intend to let you know.

You helped me, now it’s my turn to help you.

hem. Skadi bit her tail and walked outside with a spleen expression on her face.

*

The pouring starlight and the soft touch of the clouds.

From the space above the sky created by the constellation, I looked at the gray winged constellation.

“Are you the founder of Altair?”

“Yeah. Is it strange that you look younger than you thought? hahahaha, even if you look at it like this, you’re over 500 years old.”

Appearance is honestly out of the question.

Even Laniakea would be far behind in terms of age.

I was more surprised by his personality.

“You’re a lighter personality than I thought.”

“Oops. He’s throwing a fastball.”

There were only two Constellations I had met, including Altair in front of me, but none of them were dignified or sacred.

Without the wings and rings, it was enough to believe that it was just a normal person.

“I was a human before becoming a Constellation, so there’s nothing strange about it. Most Constellations are probably the same as me.”

“Is that so.”

Even when asked a somewhat rude question, he answered nicely.

If it were Altair’s ancestor, he would be the highest constellation in their family, but he seemed to have a much more innocent personality than I thought.

“Yes. I called a busy person here, so I’ll tell you about my business.”

He smiled kindly and suddenly snapped his fingers forward.

Then, a sudden light gathered in the air, and it hardened into the shape of a small badge.

The badge that flew gently landed lightly on my outstretched hand.

“What is this?”

“What are you asking as if you don’t know. A promotion is a promotion.”

A small badge beautifully engraved with three platinum stars.

It was the badge of a third-class professor.

It is two steps higher than the previous rating, which was 5 stars.

It was on the same level as Skadi in the 8th circle.

“This is the end of the ratings I can give on my own without any screening.

he added with a light wink.

“That’s why you should try to convince the other elders yourself.”

“·······.”

I saw the badge in my hand.

I didn’t even want that much.

“Why all of a sudden this?”

“Your biggest problem is that your rank is too low. Because of that, nothing will work.”

“·······.”

It is a word that strikes the core.

In fact, there are many experiences where work was blocked because of the rank.

“So this time, you’ve got credit, and I pushed through on my own. But since I’m an elder, I have that much authority.”

“Is that so.”

Honestly, it was an undeserved price.

It’s true that it helps, but it’s burdensome.

However, he refused what the Constellation gave him, so he was just watching, but he didn’t seem to have finished talking yet.

“If you’re a third-class star and certified SS, you’ve now met all the minimum requirements.”

“Of what?”

“A tactical officer position in Central Police.”

tactical officer? what else does it do

“Heh heh… Is the name a bit filthy? But it’s a position with a reputation. Heh heh heh…”

According to the description, it is a kind of honorary position.

An official rank comparable to that of a minister, which can be issued if three or more Constellations agree.

“The prestige of this is determined by the level of the Constellation you originally signed it with, so in your case it can be said that it is very different.”

The white signature box he is holding is dazzling.

Not only Raniakea and Renoir, but also Vega’s ancestor ‘Ariadne’, Deneb’s ancestor ‘Orthanc’, etc…

Besides that, there were a lot of names of constellations he had never heard of.

“…Isn’t it possible to become a first-class star at this level?”

“The elders didn’t approve of that. They’re strict noblemen.”

Is 1st place unreasonable?

Hagiya, Skadi who has reached the 9th circle is the 2nd star.

In order to receive the first rank, you must achieve the 10th circle, which is the pinnacle of a magician, or an achievement equivalent to it.

The tenure should be much longer than now.

“It will be useful. It’s a position with no obligations, only rights.”

“Is this why the waiting period was dropped for a week?”

“That’s right. We needed time to coordinate the opinions of the Constellations.”

Hearing such a story, I couldn’t help but ask.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Well?”

“I’m sorry, but I met you for the first time today.”

Renoir seems to have prepared very carefully for this event, but unfortunately I saw him for the first time today.

I didn’t even know his name until I met him.

There must be no reason for him to show such favor to me.

“Hey, do you know why my nickname is ‘Iron-Blood Emperor’?”

“I don’t know.”

What kind of stupid question is this?

I looked at him questioningly, and he said with a smirk.

“I reign on the lofty seat of Altair and look down upon them. But that does not directly lead to rule.”

“·······.”

“I am the strongest law and fence of Altair. I hope that my descendants will live peacefully within these fences for a long time.”

In his face as he said that, the dignity of the years that had passed before he knew it was revealed.

It was his ‘real face’ that fell under his blunt personality.

“I hope this damn war ends as soon as possible. But that’s impossible for me, for other Constellations, even for Laniakea-sama.”

His hand pointed at me.

“It’s something only you can do.”

“·······.”

“Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes.”

Expectations are high for walking.

I never thought I was this important.

“And, my young offspring like you very much.”

“···Yes?”

“Estelle. The child who was born with the thickest blood of Altair.”

Then he pulls out a picture from his bosom and shows it.

There was a picture of Estelle as a child, about 10 years old.

He again became a loose-fitting face and eloquently spoke.

“These days, I live for the taste of seeing this guy, but lately, even if I call him puberty or something, he doesn’t come well. Eh-tsk-tsk.”

Well, I also had a temper when I was young.

He clicked his tongue and said.

“Anyway, this kid really likes you.”

“·······.”

“He lost his parents when he was young, so he’s a child who grew up really hard.”

He gave the picture to me.

The photo I had accepted on a whim was scratched with hand stains.

“You lead and take care of it. Because of that, I mixed a little selfishness.”

“…is that a request?”

“Huh? Does that happen? hahahaha!”

hahahahaha Renoir burst out laughing and patted me on the shoulder.

He was a very lively person.

“Please take good care of Estelle and Altair.”

“···Yes.”

You are my student anyway.

Since it was my purpose to lead rightly, there was no reason to refuse.

“Then see you next time.”

Just-!

He snapped his fingers, and the world of another world spread out blurry like paint dissolved in water.

So the world above the sky returned to its original position.

·······.

“Well···.”

When I opened my eyes, I was standing in the middle of the meeting room.

There was no Renoir.

Perhaps it was to return to the outer dimension.

“Have you talked to him?”

Terreon approached and asked.

Perhaps it was because he had a conversation with the eldest member of the family, but there was envy in his gaze that could not be erased.

“Yes.”

“Then you will now serve as Central Police’s ‘Tactics Officer’.”

Thereon’s gaze turned to the rest of the ministers.

“It’s officially the same level as the people here.”

He smiled and added congratulations.

Of course, there will be a difference in the value and depth contained in the name.

It must be difficult to be treated the same as people from the three generations.

However, at least in public, they can no longer be drawn to the ‘general manager’ case.

That effect was enough for me.

“Then, please cooperate smoothly from now on. Everyone.”

“·······.”

The ministers had a dissatisfied look on their faces, but they didn’t throw up on it.

There are more than 10 Constellations that have signed my appointment, and among them are the Constellations of Laniakea and the 3rd House.

Official power means I’m stronger now.

“Then see you next time.”

It was a satisfactory result.

His steps leaving the conference room were very light, unlike when he entered.

*

After my conference room appearance, I was ready to head back.

Considering the lecture schedule, it was because I couldn’t delay any longer.

It was also tight to meet the reinforcement schedule by missing classes twice.

“Adeline. Take it.”

“Huh? What? Yo?”

I handed over the documents that I couldn’t give because I was trying to mend my wounds.

Accepting what should have been 500 pages, she tilted her head.

“These are the things you will have to do as a teaching assistant in the future.”

“···uh?”

Adeline, dazed, asked stupidly.

The gray eyes were shaking like an earthquake.

“Memorize them all by this week.”

“Ah… no, this is… ha… for real…”

A deep sigh and despair surrounds her.

I should have told you not to twist it.

all self-employed

belt ring-

Then, the watch rang.

It was a message, but unexpectedly it came from Claire.

[Call for a drink with rice soup in Rhodes tonight?]

“·······.”

An insignificant message.

I just closed the window and ignored it.

“I’m here!”

“It’s late.”

10 minutes to wait in front of the gate.

Skadi finally showed up.

She smiled shamelessly and tapped me on the shoulder even after being 10 minutes late.

“Originally, the main character is always late.”

“·······.”

“… I’ll stab you to death with a look. It’s a joke, a joke.”

She took the lead and walked out.

“What are you going to do when you get back?”

“First of all, I have to submit the syllabus for lectures and special forces training.”

That’s how you gather graduates, and then start the lecture.

Maybe in a month or so we can start.

It would have taken longer if I had been alone, but not anymore with Adeline.

Even though I’m holding on to the manual now and moaning.

“Huh…”

Then, she sighed and looked at me with her eyes wide open.

“What is it?”

“You know. We’re pretty close, aren’t we?”

“Suddenly what-“

“Tell me.”

Why are you asking this out of the blue?

I thought about it.

My relationship with Skadi.

. . . Since we’ve been around like this, we’re probably closer than others.

“There is nothing left.”

“To…? I always go to the office and write papers together?”

“I don’t treat uninvited guests as friends.”

“Wucii…”

He frowns and slaps my arm with his tail.

It doesn’t hurt at all.

“It’s okay. The future is important.”

“What is it?”

“It’s nothing~”

Skadi ran forward and held out her hand in front of the shining gate.

“Come on. Let’s go back!”

“···Yes.”

I took the outstretched hand.

Small and slender hands grip my hand more tightly.

Like saying you won’t let go.

So we walked through the gate.

where our seats will be.

towards Helios.
