105 – First Meeting

-… !

When the Guardians arrived at the scene, everything had already ended.

After a bout of battle, the wounded and the victims are taken care of.

And an ashy-haired boy was catching his breath in the center.

.

.

.

After the incident,

At Claris Academy,

In addition to the previous demonic haunting incident, a memorial service was held for the cadets who were sacrificed, and an emergency committee was convened at the administrative office to find out the truth about this incident.

First of all, the raid leader of this raid, along with Tayron, the guild that was in charge of this in cooperation with the academy,

[Divine Valhalla] And [Eternal Flame] Were investigated.

Why didn’t the senior knights and senior mages be dispatched to prepare for the worst situation, and the elder formed the raid with mostly minor apprentices?

Also, did he entrust an important mission such as the vanguard to apprentice student Aveline Balantes?

As for whether there was collusion between the two guilds beforehand.

I’d like to say that the work was good, but…

If you remember the contents of the fanfic, the result is not.

The 1st committee can be seen as a formality because it focuses on internal managers who have approved raids rather than details.

Members of the large guilds Divine Valhalla and Eternal Flame were filled with responsibility evasion questions and answers,

Above all, as Tayron, the general manager of the raid, carries it all himself, Malissa and Aveline, who naturally act unexpectedly, are exonerated.

This time it will flow similarly.

Because I quickly killed [Blood Ashes] To reduce the number of casualties, Malissa and Aveline’s wrongdoing didn’t spread to a devastating extent.

‘But… ‘

In other words, it’s not over yet.

In the second committee collating the survivors’ statements… Can see the match.

.

.

.

The day before the 2nd committee was convened, I went to the building of the physical training room of the gymnasium.

The 12th and 13th private training rooms located in the corner of the 1st floor of this place are exclusively for grade S cadets, and have a lounge connected to the outside on the side.

-It’s okay~. Lily is going to bed.

– Hurry up and go to sleep. I’ll be sure to give you an example soon.

-Ugh……

With Lily’s help, I first came here and checked it carefully and meticulously in a short amount of time.

Only about 3 minutes or so.

After finishing my errands, I am currently sitting on a bench near the Coffin of Restoration.

‘I should go to the hospital.’

It is natural that the medical facility is located near the gymnasium, which is easy to injure, but my heart cannot be very good when I see it.

Presumably, the cadets who participated in the bloody ash attack, including Violet, are now being treated in the coffin of restoration.

No matter how much the world is in a novel, it seems that I am still not used to seeing others get hurt as I have lived in Korea, where there is strict law and order against violence.

Of course, I could have saved more cadets compared to the principal, but…

Due to Malissa and Aveline’s greed and sudden action,

It is an unchanging fact that one of the vanguard knights in their party was seriously injured.

When I’m in a complicated state of mind,

-!

There is no sense of incongruity… A now all-too-familiar silhouette stood facing me.

She, with silver hair tinged with light purple, belatedly greeted her classmates and started approaching me with quick steps.

With just about 2m left, the girl’s mouth opened.

“… Mr. Lev.”

“Are you here?”

Aria Bluebell. Maybe someone knows my secret.

Even if I tell you everything sooner or later… Someone who might not understand.

“Today is not corrupted… You didn’t.”

“Huh?”

“No… “

– Width.

-?

Then, he cautiously approaches me and sits next to me.

The smell of a little disinfectant and the soft scent of jasmine that Arya has puts me at ease.

“… “

At times like this, it seems that there are settings that are a little different from fanfiction.

I don’t think she joked around, showed interest in anyone other than Edwin first, or sat next to other people carelessly…

‘Well, the author’s novel is like that.’

How much of the narrative would have been allocated to the fundamental heroines…

Arya spoke softly.

“Once again… “

“… “

“To do something big… I heard you were beaten.”

“Sure. I’m not really lucky… “

“This time… ! For what reason are you going to say that she participated in the raid?”

“… !”

She cut me off and looked up at me with blue-gold eyes.

Every time I look into those sincere eyes, I’m a little afraid that everything I have will be revealed.

“… “

She immediately avoided my gaze and placed her on the floor, continuing her words with a slightly trembling voice.

“It’s a coincidence… It’s strange.”

“… “

“At the time of the fire demon, Mr. Yeriel, and the festival… “

“… “

Whenever something dangerous happens at the academy, Mr. Lev always… You are there… “

“Aria.”

“Obviously… ! Trying to solve this by myself… “

“Aria.”

When I called her name softly twice, Arya finally met my face.

“You think too deeply today.”

“… Why me… Are you not going to say anything?”

Those sorrowful words mixed with worry somehow break my heart.

Is it because she, like me, is far from her kin?

Clearly, Arya is not my family, and she is not my acquaintance in the original world.

Besides, the first start…

-Let’s date, let’s date. After all, you’re the kind of person who doesn’t really care about anyone, right? Aren’t you okay with me? Could it be that Edwin likes that trash guy? Anyway, about Edwin…

Dark history.

That would have been the worst impression.

‘Sooner or later… I really have to tell you.’

Afraid of being read,

I had no choice but to avoid her eyes for a while.

12 Private training rooms for grade S cadets;

Taron, Melissa, and Aveline had a secret meeting in a private place where people were rare.

“Tayron, are you sure you took care of it?”

“Yes, lady. As the leader of the raid, I have made it clear that I will take full responsibility and resign.”

“Princess Melissa, this has come so far… what do you have to do? What we did was so big… “

“Ha, muscle brain. You stay still Just do what we tell you to do tomorrow.”

“Ji, what nickname am I going to call my son-in-law now!”

Of course, Aveline and Melissa’s sudden behavior was difficult to call a big ‘sin’ as a result.

However, it is clearly a big ‘mistake’ to do individual actions in a raid.

Since the two of them are ranked S with a high standard, it is natural for them to be demoted, and they will also be disadvantaged for participating in future raids.

Also, if penalty points are imposed, life in the academy will be hindered, and the status of the principality may be adversely affected.

‘What kind of disgrace is this… ‘

Not even getting the essence of immortality.

When I think about it now, I believed in a legend and committed something too reckless.

-Melissa. Do you know about the Essence of Immortality? I wish i had some

‘Kaeran… ‘

If he had been there, how would he have broken through this situation?

As Malissa sighs at Abel Lynn,

“Whew.”

“Gong Melissa!”

Taron’s words went on and on.

“The 5th and 6th parties were members of the Eternal Flame and Divine Valhalla, so it was easy to keep silent, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th parties had a distance, and the situation was confusing, so I probably didn’t notice it… “

“Just?”

“The problem must be that gray-haired man. Didn’t he save us?”

“… “

At the word salvation, Malissa and Aveline fell silent.

Because it was true.

“From what I’ve heard, the 2nd Committee will only listen to Lev Denek’s statement and not hold him accountable for his contribution to the killing of [Blood Ashes]… Violet Decrescent is also an unexpected action, but the development of the bloody ash was unexpected, and as a result, it will be extenuating circumstances in that the damage was minimized by buying time for the 3rd and 4th parties.”

At Tayron’s explanation, Aveline stepped forward as if curious.

“Then, shouldn’t we also prove that the intention was not an accidental action but a public one?”

“That, that, wasn’t Aveline’s original duty to be a guardian knight? If we are pointed out for neglecting our duties, we will have nothing to say.”

Melissa bitterly regretted it.

‘Ha, really!’

I wasn’t listening to her, Aveline.

“I’d like to say that I, the leader of the raid, gave the order to directly join the attack, but I have many ears to listen. First of all, there’s a woman from De Crescent, and she’ll be digging her own grave if she adds to that lie.”

“No, ha… “

In a frustrating and hopeless situation, Melissa was annoyed for a moment.

“Tairon, what are you asking us to do?”

“It’s simple. Lev Denek… You just have to convince me.”

“What…?”

“If it is proven that the actions of the young lady and Lady Aveline were the paving stones for Levdenek’s sudden action, then both of you will be recognized for the treatment and will be excused.”

At Tayron’s words, Malissa looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply.

“Whoa… “

Lev Denek.

After all, he holds the key.

Like this time, and the duel with Kaeran…

If you think about it, your skills as a shooter seem to be greater than you can imagine.

I feel like I know why Aveline pushed her so hard.

‘… ‘

At the same time, I regret it a little.

Malissa doesn’t make contact with him, because he only has memories of her coldness.

The first time she approached Arya, the screening test, the duel with Gaylon Sharpie… She only doubted and scolded.

But is there anything special?

We have no choice but to meet and talk now.

* * *

After that, the conversation between me and Aria…

-Since Yeriel is worried too, go and apologize.

-You have to apologize… ?

-Yes, of course… ? Rev-san was with Selena-nim, so a lot…

-Selena?

-Ah… Mistake… I did.

-…

Although she is a lot younger than me in terms of her original age, she fits me better than I thought.

This one’s reaction is more fun than the aria from , Who knows all the bitterness in the world.

She said that she would take good care of me in the second semester anyway,

-… Yes. Instead… ! You can’t come because you’re hurt.

If her personality is that she keeps her promises like a knife, she will continue to help me with her tsun-tsun.

That’s how Aria left.

‘The important thing now is… ‘

I am eavesdropping on Melissa Tayron and Aveline’s conversation in real time.

In this world without smartphones, I bought a magical tool with a transmission function from the ecliptic, thinking it would be useful someday.

As mentioned in the fanfic, there is a description of Malissa having a tryst with Kaeran in room 13 of the personal training room, so I installed it there just in case.

I bought it at a high price with my hard-earned money during the subjugation of the Lord of Pleasure, so the sound quality was the best.

“What does Lily like?”

When thinking about how to repay Lily, who willingly helped Rating S and renting the personal training room…

Isn’t there a saying that even a tiger will come if it speaks?

This time a pink-haired woman appeared in front of me.

A slightly surprised expression with a complex face… It was Melissa.

“Why are you here?”

“Greetings.”

“Ah…… “

At my brief reply, Malissa nodded her head,

Soon, she took a step closer to me, tucking the left side of her hair behind her ear.

There was a strong smell of perfume.

“That was cool.”

“What? I?”

“Yes… Levner. Thanks I live thanks to you.”

Malissa has a habit of making her face red when she tells her hidden truth.

But if you look at something that’s normal, it’s too obvious. To act.

“Okay, I’m coming.”

“… !”

As I made the gesture of going, Malissa took my forearm in surprise.

– Seruk.

Then I unconsciously pulled my arm out.

-…

Melissa’s eyes twitch slightly.

“That. I’m sorry Aveline bothered you, I’ll apologize for you.”

“I don’t think there is any particular meaning even if I receive it from you, and if the person concerned does it, I will take care of it.”

It’s ambiguous what he should be apologizing for, though.

“Wait a minute!”

Perhaps she was trying to buy my favor, she kept pushing me like flattery.

“Because I will buy dinner… Would you like to go out for a while? I know a very nice place… “

“No, I have someone to meet for dinner.”

“So, how about just a cup of tea? No?”

“Uh.”

As Arya advised, evening is the time to meet Yeriel.

“That…… “

As I continued to hit the iron wall, Malissa finally pursed her lips and pulled out a lethal card with a trembling voice.

“Remember? When we first saw each other.”

“First time?”

“Yes, you confessed to me.”

“… “

No way, are you referring to the ignorant confession made by the ‘real Lev Denek’?

She looked down slightly and sighed, then she looked back at my face and said.

“I will accept your heart.”

“What?”

“Specially, I mean you can go out with me.”

-…

Melissa was putting on a pretty haughty expression… As if to patronize her.
