107 – Discipline

Underworld, Pandemonium.

In front of Marcosias, the commander of the 5th corps, Darian, the black fairy, bowed on one knee.

“Great one, I have returned.”

“You came back sooner than I thought.”

Darian was one of Marcosias’ favorite subordinates.

Although she was born as an elf, she is far from the devil, but she has been loyal to her demons since she received the transfer of black magic.

Marcosias was able to rise to the position of commander among the many great demons thanks to her.

“Yes, there is no need to wait. What kind of guy was responsible for destroying the 14th camp?”

Darian’s main ability is to search for information, and Marcosias also never expressed doubts about this part.

Most of all, the news that the 14th camp was destroyed was spreading to the great demons who didn’t care much unless it was under each other’s jurisdiction.

In other words, monopolizing information on the background of the destruction first would be advantageous to solidify one’s position.

“After examining the ecliptic and major cities, we couldn’t find any major movement. But… “

“Just?”

“From Clarice’s side, we were able to identify the person involved in this case.”

“Huh?”

It was quite a coincidence that Darian was able to track down the people involved.

First, she had a different purpose when she went to Mt. Papes and cast black magic on [Blood Ash].

Because Selena Windforce, the half-elf she had been eyeing since before, was a member of the subjugation of [Blood Ashes].

And the overwhelming demonic power of this fallen divine beast, the despair…

She thought it would be a means to entice Selena, who couldn’t handle wind archery.

Actually, Darian will die soon.

Could it be that he allowed black magic into his body?

Her body, which had become a black fairy, was gradually approaching its end.

Just as humans get drunk with power and become demons, and soon burn all their power and disappear,

Darian did the same.

However, since he was an elf, this speed only progressed slowly.

So, I thought of Selena Windforce as her successor.

If she is not of her pure blood… , She also thought that if she was the one who had her abilities sealed by the greed of her humans and fairies, she would best understand Dari’s heart.

However, this plan could not come true.

A mysterious man appeared and succeeded in subjugating [Blood Ashes].

A boy with uncommon gray hair and eerie black eyes.

Of course, this has been a huge income for Darian.

Even after searching the empire all day, I was able to obtain unknown information.

She reported to Marcosias in a motionless tone.

“He was someone who used archery skills similar to mine.”

“Ha ha ha!!”

At that, Marcosias immediately started laughing as if coughing.

The sound was so thick and resonant that I could feel the surroundings round and resonate.

“Haha! You say something funny.”

Marcosias also knew.

He is the leader of the 5th Corps, the highest among the Great Demons.

If he is aiming to become the master of the underworld, he will be able to detect what the 14th base was destroyed through the mana flow, arrangement, and wavelength.

He judged that what destroyed the 14th…

Wind archery.

Then, it becomes a simple story.

Being able to come in and out of Pandemonium at will, and being able to use wind archery strong enough to destroy the 14th…

There is only that elf kneeling in front of Marcosias.

But the prime suspect, Darian, came out of nowhere.

‘The culprit is someone who is skilled in archery similar to himself.’

It felt too overtly prey to prove his own innocence.

“Your loyalty will be tested to the end.”

“I am sorry, Marcosias, it was not my fault.”

“Haha! Yes, believe me If the time we spent together was the standard of creation… It won’t be a short time.”

“It’s a shame.”

“Then, tell me. Did you succeed in identifying him?”

“Yes.”

“Are you a fairy again? Only elves can handle wind archery.”

“… It’s human. That’s also in Clarisse, first year… It looks like a male cadet.”

“…… “

Long after the report in the bridge, Marcosias removed his hand from his chin.

“Ha ha ha!!”

And laugh louder than before.

Not even a hero, just a cadet? That too… 1 Grade?

It’s funny, but there are cases.

‘It’s fun, it’s fun… !’

Marcosias’ ‘thirst’ was quickly being quenched.

Probably, it won’t be boring for a while.

The day the 2nd Disciplinary Committee is held.

“Next, Violet Decrescent, Melissa de Prominence, Aveline Balantes, Cadet Lev Denek, please come in.”

With the words of the committee officials, the time has come for the three of us.

Malissa is smiling at me even though that must have happened yesterday.

This is where I am, whose Aveline.

And then, with her eyes closed, even Violet staring ahead with a complicated expression when I came.

Since we were the four people who took an unexpected action in the subjugation of [Blood Ashes], We are going to cross-verify the statement.

.

.

.

– Rumble.

When I entered and sat down, there were people from the academy, committee members, and observers who seemed to have been bribed by [Eternal Flame] And [Divine Valhalla].

“It was a meeting that started in the morning, so I’ll skip the introduction. Are you okay?”

– Yes.

“From now on, there will be a statement about the bloody ashes of the 16th Horseman of the Claris Academy Raid Practice. First of all, do all four of you admit to being unpredictable during the raid?”

We took turns expressing our approval.

“Then, according to the flow of time, I will start with Cadet Violet. Immediately after the first drop of bloody ash, the intention of the act of attacking arbitrarily… “

.

.

.

After that, things went as expected.

After explaining the situation at that time in detail, Violet expressed her intentions as if to be honest.

“… Okay. Taking that into account, we will decide on further disciplinary action.”

Perhaps, extenuating feelings.

Violet is also an honor student at Claris Academy as well as a top marksman.

If it wasn’t for her sealing flesh, the 3rd and 4th parties would have resulted in greater sacrifices, so it’s only natural in a way.

“Next, I will ask Cadet Aveline. As the situation changed, after the 5th assault, in the 5th and 6th parties, who had to take the 6th assault, the Abelin cadet, who was in charge of guarding the line, carried a sword instead of a shield. Is this true?”

Abel Lin glanced at Malissa slightly, and she replied.

“Yes, actually… no see.”

‘I hear this.’

It was not the first time I had heard of Hao Che, but a normal way of speaking.

“The intention seems to be to defeat the bloody ashes, is that correct?”

“That, yes, that’s right.”

The secretary of the committee began to scribble it down like a knife.

The sound of the pen moving passed by, and the most important question came up.

“The goal of the raid is to subdue the target, but it is also the survival of everyone. And this is done under the premise that you follow the orders of the raid leader. But tell me without lies why Cadet Aveline decided to take a dangerous action on her own.”

.

.

.

‘After.’

I calmly caught my breath.

‘Is it finally a kill mark?’

In order to stop Kaeran from appearing soon, I need to be a bit cruel.

* * *

Before the start of the committee,

Malissa had tipped Aveline in advance about various things.

-First of all, say that you led this project. Because that’s true.

-That… I see…

-There is no need to be intimidated. Because our intentions were not disrespectful.

-Prince Melissa is quite calm…

That’s how the Disciplinary Committee began.

Aveline answered in a slightly trembling voice.

“First of all, Prince Malissa, no, Cadet Malissa… I just followed my suggestion. Contrary to my accidental judgment… It has nothing to do with it.”

“I will give you more time to state that. Please explain the situation first.”

“Oh, yes. That… After the 5th assault, the situation was rapidly deteriorating. The 3rd and 4th parties seemed impossible to resume the battle, and the black magic from the bloody ash… It was felt. Hence the idea that when a bastard can be killed, he must be killed… It was only.”

“What was the basis for thinking that it could be treated?”

“… It’s embarrassing, but in fact, I took out my sword thinking that I had a chance to win because my divine powers had bloomed.”

Just do what Tayron and Malissa said, nothing was difficult.

Appealing without knowing that there was literally no bad intention at all.

After that, things went smoothly.

“Then, I will ask Cadet Malissa, who was with me. Do you admit that there is no lie in what Cadet Aveline said?”

Malissa responded immediately.

“Yes. It’s all true. Our intention was to defeat Blood Ash. Of course, the sudden action must be punished… I think.”

After answering that, Malissa glanced at Lev Deneck, who was sitting right next to her.

‘Really… Ha.’

Unluckily sharp profile.

Needless to say, he’s a clear witness, and since he didn’t even cooperate, he’ll have to accept the punishment.

‘It’s okay… oh I just need to create public opinion by what I did to protect everyone… ‘

In an empire that wants to absorb and unite all principalities… Although the location of the Principality of Prominence cannot be said to be clear, it has an influence that cannot be ignored if [Eternal Flame] And [Divine Valhalla] Are combined.

Already, Tayron said he would overwrite everything and resign, and the [Divine Valhalla] Side said they would give their breath to the committee, so it’s worth looking forward to.

‘If you do well, extenuating the normal… Could it be?’

“Okay. The two cadets, as well as their initial participation in the raid, and the foregoing will be taken into consideration when determining future discipline. If you have any additional statements to make, you may do so now.”

“There is nothing in particular.”

“Me too… There is not.”

When Malissa answered, Aveline belatedly followed suit.

‘After, is it the end?’

In fact, there was something else that kept Melissa’s spirit strong.

After washing yesterday, I checked…

– Huh?

A mysterious letter.

——————————————————

See you soon Melissa. Together

——————————————————

-The two of you…?

Judging from the handwriting, it was a preview of Kaeran’s return.

It was good news in its own way.

‘As expected… I knew you would find me first… ? Right. Kaeran will need help too… ‘

Of course, I admit that Lev Denek is a superior man than I thought.

However, the genius Kaeran Heath was untouchable from the start.

And Edwin Gwynns, who beat him in the ranked match.

I have had a relationship with Edwin since the beginning of the semester, and he will not abandon himself because of his personality.

Also, because of the fact that Kaeran lost to Edwin, she will not be able to do anything to Malisa more than before.

In a way, the power has changed.

And, between these two men, if you can weigh…

It may be greedy, but if you can get both…

A brief punishment is nothing.

After this, only a bright future awaits.

‘Huh.’

By the time Malissa’s head became a flower garden,

“Um… “

The gray-haired man’s mouth opened.

“Really, did you two have pure intentions?”

-!

It sounded good to hear, but not to Malissa and Aveline.

“Now, wait. What… want to talk… Will?”

“Lev ball! You haven’t even seen Lord Rev! We just want to defeat the bloody ashes… !”

“Yes. That’s right But I want to know what this is.”

What he took out of his pocket was a small square magic ball.

-?!

Recently, a magic tool for reception that has been very popular as a replacement for crystal ball for communication.

It’s expensive, so it must be an item that can only be found in the ecliptic.

Anyway, that wasn’t the point.

More importantly, why did it appear?

-Click.

When Lev pressed the button,

-Tayron, are you sure you’ve taken care of it?

A voice all too familiar to Melissa.

“Ah……?”

He began to hear his own voice.
