2. Special Admission – 03

Lysithea von Edelstein.

The current head of the Nineveh Academy’s board of directors and Count Edelstein’s family, which has a reputation as a master swordsman in the empire.

In addition, he has a history of being taught by as many as two of the seven heroes, and is one of the strongest classes of mankind who have been recognized for his strength by them.

And she has a history of meeting Jin’s face several times in the process of returning, and she was also a woman who became his strength each time.

In terms of appearance, he was only in his early to mid-twenties now, but Jin knew very well how much ferocity lurked under that slender appearance.

“Hey, Chairman! What the hell is going on here… ”

“No matter how you look at it, I am the person in charge of Nineveh. Is it so wrong that I came to see the face of one of the employees under my command?”

When the chairperson answered with a feminine face, the dean of admissions broke into a cold sweat.

“That, not that… .”

“It is a joke. I didn’t come to watch you because I was worried that you might leave work without permission even though it wasn’t even time to get off work. I was just patrolling the area, and I just put my face in to see if something was going on.”

“…..”

At the words of the chairman, the dean of admissions put on an expression that seemed to have lost half of his soul. How on earth did that woman notice the secret fantasies she had only had in her head?

“By the way, while on patrol, I unintentionally overheard a story being heard here, and they were talking about something very interesting?”

“If you say it’s an interesting story, what are you talking about… .”

“Well, for example, special admission. Otherwise-”

The chairman looked at Jin and smiled.

“… Are you a descendant of the seven heroes that have not been known until now?”

Creepy.

The moment he met the gaze sent by the chairman, Jin tasted an eerie feeling as if the hairs on his body were standing upside down.

It’s been decades since I’ve known that woman, but I can’t seem to get used to those ferocious eyes, like carnivores staring at herbivores.

‘Damn it. I almost got tired of it.’

If it hadn’t been for the experience of receiving this kind of stare from her several times before returning, it could not have been a life so frightening that he would have frothed and went backwards.

Whether he was an enemy or an ally, the chairman was definitely a person who could be called Jin’s ally, but unfortunately, his position was not so good right now.

This is because Jin of this episode is not only unfamiliar with her, and she was caught right on the spot while trying to illegally enter Nineveh, even swearing that she is a descendant of the Seven Heroes.

She was the chairman of the board of Nineveh, which was founded by the Seven Heroes, and she respected the Seven Heroes very much, even receiving direct instruction from them.

If Jin found out that he had sold the name of the seven heroes and hit Goura, wouldn’t it be possible to catch him alive and throw him into the sashimi?

– … Worst. I never thought I would face Lysitea von Edelstein at this point.

Erekaya, who was in Jin’s head, also groaned softly.

– I’m saying this just in case, but from now on, don’t even think about telling lies in front of her. The bloodline ability passed down from generation to generation in Count Edelstein’s family is no different…

‘I know. It is the unlucky ability to read a person’s mind at will and distinguish between true and false.’

It was the ability to open fire, starting from discriminating the lies of the opponent’s words, being able to see through the falsehood of martial arts, and even forcing one’s own ‘truth’ on the opponent.

Of course, there were limitations. First of all, it cannot be used against opponents with a higher ‘class’ than oneself, and the number of times the magic eye can be activated per day is fixed, and since it can only determine the authenticity, it has the disadvantage of not being able to grasp the intentions or psychological state contained in it-

‘These are disadvantages that don’t matter at all in the current situation.’

It’s not that Jin and Erekaya didn’t think of the possibility that they might face the chairman at Nineveh. In the first place, as a right to special admission, in order to enter Nineveh, the final approval of the chairman was required.

That’s why they also prepared various measures to escape the influence of the evil eye of Libra, but they never imagined that they would face the chairman at this point.

– Tsk, if I had been able to face myself at this point instead of that woman as I planned at the beginning, the evil eye of the scale wouldn’t have been worth fearing.

However, even Erekaya herself, who said that, knew very well that this was a meaningless complaint.

Meanwhile, the director was looking up and down at Jin with an interesting look.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

“… My name is Jin.”

“jin? It’s Jin… It’s not a very special name… .”

The reason is unknown, but the chairman seemed to be looking for a special corner while repeating Jin’s name.

“Jin, I’m going to finish harvesting and ask you one thing. Are you really a descendant of the Seven Heroes?”

The director’s blue eyes turned to Jin. Her blue eyes, reminiscent of the sea, made her body cold.

“Yeah.”

In response, the chairman expressed neither affirmation nor negation. He just tilted his head as if he was puzzled by something.

“It’s strange. You… you’re someone I don’t know. And you’re someone I can’t see.”

Before I could even ask what that meant, the chairman muttered something in a small voice.

“Then, where should I try it?”

And at the same time, the chairman abruptly held out his hand toward Jin.

From the outside, it looked like it was too slow, so even a child who didn’t know martial arts could easily avoid it.

However, Erekaya, who was in Jin’s head, screamed at that simple action.

– Stop it, Jin! That attack is absolutely unavoidable!

‘What?’

I didn’t understand what he meant, but Jin reflexively took a step back and raised his arms at the same time as he took a defensive posture.

And-

Accurate-!

“Cuck!”

The next moment, when I came to my senses, the chairman’s hand was gripping Jin’s wrist. Jin was shocked.

‘I can’t believe it, it was clearly out of range!’

The chairman stretched out his hand toward him without moving a single step from the spot, while Jin stepped back and took a defensive posture.

But when he came to his senses, he realized that his wrist was caught in her hand.

– It is an attack that uses the magic eye of Libra. You set your attack as ‘true’, while your defense was ‘false’ and appealed to the world. That’s why the middle process is completely omitted, and only the result of you being caught in the hands of the director is left.

Of course, Erekaya’s warning wasn’t completely useless, so the chairman’s hand grabbed Jin’s wrist rather than his neck.

That didn’t change the fact that it was more than enough to break Jin’s wrist like a pencil lead.

‘Damn it.’

No matter how weak it is at the beginning of the regression, he gave up his wrist so helplessly.

No, getting caught by the wrist wasn’t the problem. What really mattered was that in the eyes of the chairman who was looking at Jin, there was a slight, but lifelike shimmer.

The chairman was contemplating whether to kill Jin or not.

That’s why Jin couldn’t help but worry. Should I leave the disposition of myself to that woman’s mood, or… Even if the odds of winning were infinitely low, would I have to fight against that woman?

‘… Should I use Exceed?’

At this point, if I fight that woman, I will definitely lose. It is impossible to win even one of them. There was such a vast gap between the chairman and Jin.

However, I could guarantee that if I used Exceed, I would be able to easily get out of this position at least.

Of course, there are formidable side effects in exchange for that kind of power, but it’s a hundred times better than quitting here and starting all over again.

The moment Jin was contemplating whether to use Exceed or not.

“Hoo.”

The chairman’s voice of interest reaches Jin’s ears.

“I tried to grab my neck, but I could only grab my wrist.”

Out of the wrist, you’re good at talking about topics that could blow your head at any time if you set your mind to it.

“I’ll ask just in case. Did you see it just now?”

“… No, nothing.”

What do you mean you saw? When I came to my senses, I saw that my wrist was caught in the chairperson’s hand.

“Hmm, I mean I didn’t see anything.”

The chairman nodded as if he had understood something. Of course, from Jin’s point of view, it was something that couldn’t be understood at all.

‘Bitch like a dog.’

I wanted to curse at him in the face, but the strongest person in this place is the chairman of the board. It was obvious that if I was fooling around, I would not even be able to find a profit and would be beaten.

“… By the way, when do you plan to let go of my wrist? Does the Count have a taste for arbitrarily tying the arms of strangers?”

At Jin’s blunt words, the chairman twisted the corner of his mouth.

“You’re crazy. You are the first man to say such words in front of me.”

… Could it be that I’m too crazy? Damn, I should have killed this raging temper earlier.

“I will make you apologize. As you said, I don’t have a hobby of grabbing the wrist of a man I don’t know, but since this is the first time I’ve grabbed the wrist of a man I don’t know, it seems I’ve indulged myself without realizing it.”

Saying that, the chairman let go of Jin’s wrist with surprising meekness.

… What is it? To be honest, Jin thought the chairman would kill him.

Because, just before, I had caught the faint flicker of life in her eyes.

“No, I had no intention of harming you from the beginning. Because I am the chairman of the board, and the chairman has an obligation to protect the students under his command.”

“… Yeah?”

What kind of dog barking is that? When Jin, who did not understand the words of the chairman, opened his eyes and looked at her, the chairman smiled and opened his mouth to Jin.

“Simply put, it means that I will recognize your right to special admission.”

So, that means-

“Let me say it again. With the authority of the chairman, I will admit you as a student of Nineveh from today, Jin.”
