“What a pity! In order not to make Professor Baek Kyung’s sacrifice meaningless, we must work even harder!”

“… … .”

Even though Professor Baek Kyung collapsed after going through the main fire due to the hard work, the professors remained silent.

It was unavoidable.

Even though End Road’s claim was now brazen, I couldn’t bear to discuss unfairness based on Professor Baek Kyung.

In that case, there was a high probability that the honor of Professor Baek Kyung, who would be compared to End Road, would be lost.

In fact, End Lord changed all the curriculum for alchemy subjects single-handedly.

Therefore, it would have been better to cover it up like this rather than saying that Professor Baek Kyung had failed.

Because they also belonged to Tia’s chosen sage, they couldn’t bear to come up with the idea of sacrificing one person.

“Professor Discree! Could you continue Professor Baek Kyung’s work?”

“… … .”

Discree was devastated.

To be honest, it was also a problem that could be fully expected at the point where Professor Baek Kyung collapsed.

Discree was competent.

He was one of the few professors who were steadily progressing the reform of education while most of the professors were having headaches.

It was because he was a soldier, so he could be said to be familiar with this system, but it was a matter of little concern to the professors.

“Let’s all cheer for Professor Discree! Look at that spirit of sacrifice despite only being with Skientia for a short time!”

“… … .”

Discre did not show a single affirmation, but the outcome of the meeting naturally made him a replacement for Professor Baek Kyung.

While Professor Aira looked at Discre with a sympathetic look, Discre sighed deeply and opened his mouth.

“… … During the recent vacation, there were two students who trespassed into an off-limits area.”

Discre knew this would be the outcome anyway. If so, just make the most of it.

It would be possible for him to lead the story if it is the most favorable time for him.

“Student Oz and student Noah. It’s unfortunate. But I’ve learned a lot from their will. so… … !”

“Professor Yen. How about listening to the end first?”

“Excuse me. You were impatient.”

“… … Fine.”

Discree took one look at the tired professors.

The evaluation of Oz and Eleanor is the worst. Even Professor Aira, who is feeling the grace of Oz, is not a good look.

If you go in the direction of defending them here, you will fail. It’s the same result, but it shouldn’t be the feeling of punishing them to the end.

“Originally, it was decided to discuss this matter when Tiamat-nim returns.”

“you’re right.”

“But now, we are in a state where we don’t know when Tiamat-nim will return.”

“Are you in a hurry? No matter how much it is, he will come back after some time, but we decide that… … .”

There were many negative comments.

He had a lot of work, but he didn’t seem to want to worry about it. However, on the contrary, there were professors who wanted more punishment than suspension.

Discre created a flow by coordinating well between them.

“you’re right. Ultimately, this is a problem that the principal has to solve. But at the same time, questions are being raised among students. The wrongdoers have not been punished except for face-to-face detention.”

“then?”

“At the same time, due to the reorganization of the educational curriculum, classes are at a standstill. Then how about ordering them to volunteer outside the country?”

“that’s… … .”

A few people began to understand the meaning behind the discrees.

Absolute power is needed to stop that wicked endlord.

Then there should be Tia, the head of the academy, but right now the professors are in a difficult state to move.

Through that series of processes, the professors who noticed the ulterior motives of Discre began to sympathize with each other.

“Where is suburban volunteering?”

“Penglai Mountain of Yue Federation. This place has been called a sacred place for training since ancient times. Since the head of the academy is also there, you will be able to train your mind and body after volunteering.”

“But wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

Of course, the question was raised. It is common sense to send students to such a distant place.

Moreover, is it not a federation?

There were many dangerous places in the federation due to [Yowang]’s spirit.

“I’m thinking of asking two people for help with that. Miss Arietta Domine, the head of the leadership team, and Yang Baek, a goblin from the Federation.”

“Will they honor this one-sided request? What’s more, it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of more … .”

“To put an end to confusion.”

The longer Tia’s absence is, the greater the chaos in ＜Skientia＞ will be.

In that case, it is better to call her, even if you take some risk. That was the most legitimate argument that Discre could make.

Of course, that claim was also full of holes… … .

“This is nonsense… … !”

“good.”

“It’s fine.”

“Isn’t expanding the method of education in this way also the direction that ‘we’ professors, you mentioned, should strive for? Professor End Road.”

“Students cannot stay within a safe fence forever. Moreover, for combat students, that level of risk is a daily routine that can of course accompany them.”

“Moreover, even though he is a student, he is not the successor of the King of Darkness. It can be an insult to turn around someone who is more capable than most professors just because he is a student.”

“… … .”

There were many who sympathized with him.

In front of that united will, End Lord couldn’t even refute properly. It was the result of perfect breathing.

“For this agenda, we will adopt Professor Discre’s proposal. In addition, it is an agenda to accept a new professor, albeit temporarily. A recent high profile… … .”

Discree relaxed his clenched fists and took another look around.

Numerous professors were sending him trusting eyes.

A lot of invisible handshake requests.

This was the moment when Discre, who had been half-shunned as an outsider, truly melted into ＜Skientia＞.

* * *

30 minutes of waiting while suppressing Eleanor who was about to jump out if she took a quick glance at the promised place.

Finally, Discree appeared with a calm, yet somewhat triumphant expression. I guess things went well.

“It went according to plan. Departure date is officially 3 days later. You may leave immediately if you wish.”

“yes? I don’t mind, but the rest of the kids have to get ready, so I’ll tell you.”

“How is the saintess persuaded?”

“As expected, the resistance from the Light Shield guys was strong.”

Arrieta is a saint of the Vatican prior to being the head of the guidance department.

Sending her on such a dangerous journey means that you have to be very careful.

“I’ve stepped on all the guys who disagree, so I won’t have to worry anymore.”

“Didn’t you say you persuaded me?”

“Did you convince me?”

Showing your skills is faster than saying a hundred words. That’s the fastest proof they hope for.

“If Olivia Blue hadn’t stepped in, I’d have been pretty messed up, too.”

If I hadn’t stopped it from becoming a dogfight, I’d be standing here covered in mud.

“So this trip will be Noah, Baekyang, Arietta, me, and Lucia all five?”

It is a fairly large number of people.

There are only two trolls among them, so I think it’s going to be a bit of a headache.

“Prince of Oz. That’s not it.”

“… … .”

Then someone intervened in the story. There is only one person who can enter the conversation between myself and Discre, the head of Tenebris, so easily.

“Can you hear what that means? Your Highness Stasia.”

“It is literally. Sir Lucia does not give. Ah, before that, I absorbed the blood you gave me the other day. When I realized that I had been tricked, I was very sad.”

“… … .”

Could it be that this is the end?

The person who will be the next emperor behaves like a child. I never imagined it would come out so nasty.

“Oh, it was a great memory.”

“… … What memories did you see?”

If I were to say that the blood I handed over to you, it was only a drop. At that level, you will only be able to see fragmentary memories.

Just a piece of fragment that can’t even grasp the context behind it.

That’s why I handed over the blood without hesitation… … . I must have seen something interesting.

“I saw Princess Eleanor breaking the fire hydrant while screaming incomprehensible. I couldn’t figure out why. Human emotions are hard to understand.”

“It’s beyond human to understand, so you’ll be fine.”

Well, it’s obvious, but I don’t think I saw any special memories.

Anyway, this bastard, Eleanor, finally broke that fire hydrant and ate it.

I can’t even imagine how the heck he smashed it.

“Then, coming back to the story, the reason Sir Lucia cannot be handed over is that she has been ordered to assist me.”

“indeed… … .”

Considering what Discre said in the first place, it was only natural that this would happen.

The emperor has his eyes on Lucia.

What Discre was worried about was that Lucia could become Stasia’s toy and be sacrificed.

We had a chance to get out of it, but we destroyed that opportunity.

“Are you worried that Lucia will be harmed while you are away?”

“Is it a bargain?”

I looked at Discre, who had been kneeling since the moment Stasia appeared. As long as the choice was made that day, Discre will not stand still either.

I would have made the choice to keep it.

Even if Stasia does some tricks, Discre will stop it.

but… … .

“Well, good.”

one thing she wants

it’s my blood

It won’t matter if you give it a little. One drop should be enough anyway.

With that alone, Stasia said she saw waves of memories she couldn’t handle. Will it be different this time?

It’s been less than a month at most. No matter how strong her powers become, that is impossible.

She probably doesn’t know that either. What she wants… … .

“Chew… … .”

He just wants to taste my blood.

It’s even blatant.

It’s a pretty burdensome feeling by itself, but it won’t lead to anything as dangerous as I was worried about.

“then.”

When he plucks his finger with a simple magic, a red droplet of blood oozes out.

While I was looking for something to contain the blood.

“With this… … .”

“Do not worry. I will take good care of Sir Lucia so that she can live a safe and comfortable life.”

It was before the words were finished.

Stasia immediately finished her answer on the spot and absorbed the blood on my finger. Sometimes you get flustered by an unexpected situation.

“ah… … .”

Stasia sat down.

He looks like he’s drunk like last time.

If there’s anything else, is it that the surroundings haven’t become a sea of blood like back then?

“… … what? I wouldn’t drink one or two of my own blood… … .”

Seeing Stasia’s tongue twisted and staggered, I couldn’t help but have doubts.

The amount of blood is the amount of memory.

A person’s blood contains that person’s life.

I certainly know that.

But is it possible to exceed this capacity with just one drop?

Even if the memories I have are the memories of two people, Oz’s and mine, it’s strange.

She should be able to absorb the blood of more than 20 people a day.

“Hmm… … ?”

The wizard’s gaze is different from that of ordinary people. Moreover, I also have [contemplation].

Even if you look at the same scenery as usual, you can capture more things in your eyes.

If that’s the reason, it could be.

Rather, I can’t guess anything other than that. But nonetheless… … .

“It’s strange.”

I have my doubts.

It seems that there is still something about Oz that I don’t know about.

“… … I don’t know anything else, but I think we should leave as soon as possible.”

Looking at Stasia’s lustful eyes, which are clearly felt even in a drunken state, it seems that there will be nothing good for her to stay for a long time.

Seeing that, he might continue to negotiate with Lucia, like a shameless tiger who said he wouldn’t eat it if given a rice cake.

* * *

Including myself, Eleanor and Arietta, as well as Ula to replace Lucia who was captured by the White Sheep and Stasia.

In this way, a total of 5 journeys began. Well, even if I say it’s a journey, it’s not a grand adventure or adventure in a fantasy world.

To put it bluntly, it was still only a cozy and comfortable journey.

“teacher! It’s so fast.”

“Sit still. Noah. What’s wrong with that?

A Magical Injury Train that covers the entire Empire. This time, there was no reason to hide and move, so I decided to take the train comfortably.

The Magical Injury Train is not simply fast, but occasionally passes through the [Warp Gate] installed by an elder-level wizard in partnership.

It must have cost an astronomical amount of money just to make that gate.

Considering its value, it would probably be able to reach the federal border in just two days.

“Oz-sama, I can feel the environment around me changing at a tremendous speed.”

“That must be a strange sensation. Arrieta. Fine. Isn’t it just a train? There will be no problem.”

“… … What blatant discrimination.”

Eleanor sticks out her mouth and complains.

I just did it badly.

Would you have wanted to pour cold water on me? But the opponent is Eleanor.

If I respond to her feelings here, I don’t know which direction her consciousness will flow. I want to go peacefully on the train as much as possible.

“I think that Oz-sama, whom I just dealt with, was harsh. How about trying to understand how she feels?”

“under! is that free? I don’t need such cheap sympathy?!”

“… … Noah-nim is a difficult person to get close to.”

“I don’t want to become friends!”

It’s my fault. It was a mistake to gather the two in one place just thinking that it would help increase power.

Arrieta is second to none, but Eleanor is too picky.

I know the reason, but even if I did, it would be like fanning a house on fire, so there is no way.

“Why don’t you just come in and talk?”

Through the communication tool connected to his ear, he called Ula, who was staring at him from a distance. Fortunately, since the opponent was revealed, there was no disaster that Eleanor broke the communication port.

Instead, the question came back that she was the ‘fairy’ was Ulla, but… … . I told you honestly that it was Lucia.

Lucia will take care of this. It is a gift of this trip.

-Ahahahahaha, I don’t like that kind of place because I’m uncomfortable? Why was I Lucia’s substitute in the first place?

“Since I’m going to pick up Alexios as well, you, the person in charge, are going. If you have any complaints, why don’t you tell Diskrae and ask for a change?”

-How do you say that… … .

“So what? You should enjoy the unavoidable military life.”

I don’t know if I can enjoy it.

Still, since this guy is a professional soldier, wouldn’t it be okay?
