2nd Round Villain

168 – An Unsolved Case – 4

Those who came as escorts did not intervene in the affairs of the academy. It just chases after the escort targets like a shadow.

It’s because of the stern warning from the archmage Merlin.

‘I understand that you don’t trust the Academy’s guards now that the murder has taken place, so I won’t stop you. However, there should be absolutely no disruption to class because of you guys!’

They observed the class and were together in one classroom, but they couldn’t make any presence out of it. All I could do was stand at the back of the classroom, without even a chair. Of course, it is impossible to cause a commotion.

However, there was no inconvenience to students.

Of course. Students are restless even if only their most friendly parents are present, but now the generals of each country are behind them. Continental No. 1 Sword, Imperial Knight Commander, Paladin… They were people with such power.

Even if the line was good, the possibility of being appointed to their workplace in the future was strong. The students looked at them with envy, their eyes shining brightly. Also, in order not to stand out and be photographed, I acted like a model student.

Of course, I didn’t mind them one bit. On the other hand, I paid attention to the two paladins who were Maria’s escorts and backseats.

“Emelia, it looks like that guy just stole the saintess. Doesn’t that have evil intentions? Shouldn’t it be removed?”

“Celt, please take care of yourself. This is not a battlefield.”

“I know. However, it is better to remove the buds of regret as much as possible… .”

Celt and Emelia from the Holy Church. Among them, Celt was the guard who was in charge of me at the Tower of Babel in my previous life.

As I found out later, right after the original murder case was revealed, the Holy Church issued an order to return to Maria. The unsafe Eden Academy is no place for the saintess to stay.

This is the truth I heard from Maria.

“okay? But Maria, why are you here now?”

“Because I didn’t like it. It’s the first time I’ve left the church, and I’m with people of the same age as me. Joe, I also met a good friend!”

What are similar age groups? Maria is more special than anyone else, but how is she similar to other students?

“Good friend? who?”

I asked with some anticipation.

“That, that… ! I can’t tell you! ugh… .”

Maria’s face flushed bright red and her head was lowered. I expected my name to be called from Maria’s mouth, but I’m a little disappointed.

In any case, Maria refused the Order of the Holy Church to return to the Church and remained at the academy, and the Holy Church respected Maria’s wishes and allowed her to accompany two paladins. In other words, if something happened to Maria, she would be summoned to the church.

I hate that. The reason I am at Eden Academy is because of Maria. If Maria is gone, there’s no reason for me to attend the academy.

So, I don’t think I’ll be able to get into an accident in the future. ‘Cause I don’t want to provoke the Holy Church any more

It’s not necessarily bad results. In return for the work, I met a familiar face. Like a paladin celt.

“… Emilia.”

“… Celtic.”

“ji… Gold What did I see wrong? I think the saintess is shy… ?”

“no way… It can’t be… How could the saintess harbor feelings of love… !”

Ugh, don’t know too much. If you try to take Mary to the church, I might kill you and bury you.

When I first met the Paladins, I believed that the Celts and Emelia wouldn’t be bothersome. But that was just my whim.

The two paladins did not approach Maria easily. Always keeping a certain distance and following him, he only occasionally asked Maria if there was any uncomfortable place. It was a complete escort knight.

It was the same after school hours. When I spent time alone in the library with Maria, Celt and Emelia watched indistinctly from a distance.

But sometimes, when Maria and I come face to face with a friendly atmosphere.

“Evans, read this passage. There is not a single day that is the same in all the years of our lives. This is because experience has limits, but interpretation has no limits! Isn’t that a great quote?”

“Yes.”

“Hick… ! Bar, Evans-sama’s breath just… !”

“huh?”

“Oh, no… I even read a book… !”

In other words, when Maria dyes her face red like a ripe apple.

“Eh, Emelia… ! Shouldn’t that be dry? Is it okay if I leave it alone… ?”

“well… I’m still not sure if that’s just shyness or romance… .”

“Everyone can see that it’s love! I mean, the saintess is completely twisting her body right now! It must be that the guy next to me who looks like a parasitic brother is playing tricks on the saintess!”

“What do you mean, are you the type of person who would easily pass over just because the saintess seduced you? And he made a close friend and he looks pretty good, but we don’t dare to say anything about it.”

At that time, it was a bit annoying. It is because of the thought that they might try to take Mary away.

So, I pulled out the bag.

“bruise.”

“hmm? What dog sound… .”

It means that I also have a strong ally. Although he’s a guy who sometimes wants to bang his head.

“Ouch! dog, canine… !”

“bruise! play with me!”

“Hey, Suin student? We’re not from this academy, are we? So go play somewhere else… .”

“no! bruise! play with me!”

From a place where Maria’s eyes couldn’t reach, and her hearing couldn’t detect it, Aru attacked Emilia. The two paladins tried to pull her away, but the mighty Aru was unmoved.

He solved the boredom of Aru, who was so annoying, and also dealt with the two annoying paladins.

I was able to spend alone time with Maria in the library all the time.

by the way… What is Frey, a member of our Magic Crew, supposed to be doing by now?

I am interested in her, but for today, I am more interested in the other human next to Frey.

Continental No. 1 Sword (大陸第一劍). Blood Heaven Flower, Liliad.

He is clearly an absolute strong man, but an unidentified human whose identity even I do not know.

One day, a superman who appeared on the continent and became the continent’s number one sword to support the empire.

No one knows who she learned the sword from or what kind of swordsmanship she uses. The only thing that is certain is that its realm has reached the absolute level, and it has made countless achievements on the battlefield of the empire based on its lofty military power. An unidentified highland.

But I wasn’t particularly interested in the bloody liliad. When she was active, I fell in love with Cheon-woong and was thinking about how to harass him, and when I got away from Cheon-ung and the war between the Pandemonium and the Continent was going on, Blood Cheon-hwa was missing.

It’s not my main concern, but I’m curious.

At that time, where did the blood clot disappear?

*****

Frey de Siegfried, the warrior of the continent and the sun.

“Haaa… .”

The room was filled with the deep sigh of a girl with brilliant hair, as if she had immaculately captured the brilliance of the sun.

Liliad, an absolute swordsman with the title of Continental First Sword, responded with a chuckle.

“Hero, aren’t you sighing too deeply? Am I that uncomfortable?”

“Of course it is inconvenient. How can it be uncomfortable when the Continental First Sword is by your side?”

“weird. People say it’s an honor to be with me.”

‘That’s right, I’m not an ordinary human, but a regressor who returned from destruction! Little bit less crazy than this Joker!’

Frey’s teeth were jammed.

Now that I finally managed to get away from Evans with the help of the saintess, I would have thought that I would be in such a predicament right away. Frey felt that his fate was truly odd.

“By the way, what do our warriors usually do? Since you carry the fate of the continent on your back, do you want to devote everything to training?”

“… That part is confidential. According to imperial law, a warrior’s swordsmanship must be kept secret.”

“It’s rough. Are the original heroes so blunt?”

Lillard giggled, seemingly unaware of Frey’s feelings. The corners of her alluring lips were elongated and curved.

Despite the murder, he didn’t appear to be particularly nervous.

Frey could well guess why.

‘f*ck… ! Demonic Duke of West, even Queen Lilith came to the academy… ! Could it be that the Joker summoned him? No matter how much the Empire values me, it would be impossible for the First Sword of the Continent to come as an escort unless she volunteered… !’

Yes.

Blood Heaven Flower, Liliad.

Her real name is Lilith.

This position was the Grand Duke of the Western part of the Pandemonium, and the Succubus Queen.

Approaching the empire disguised as a human being was an act done with the intention of taking out the power of the continent until the full-scale Pandemonium War broke out.

And now, she came to Eden Academy as the hero’s escort.

‘Hey, I’m sure you said you were here. That damn demon.’

It was because the Northern Pandemonium dukedom obtained the news that a demon wearing a mask was hiding in the academy after fooling around with her at an auction house in the Pandemonium five hundred years ago.
