Academy’s Second Seat

rumble.

There was the sound of a wagon wheel slamming against the wheel.

I was alone in the carriage, and outside I saw Thomas riding a horse and running beside the carriage.

“Hmm… … .”

I thought, stroking my chin.

Why is Ian calling me?

When I thought about it, there was only one thing.

That I ruined Ian’s plan.

The fact that I kept staring at Ian’s gaze.

The fact that my potential for power is highly valued.

and… … .

“… … .”

Thinking about it, it wasn’t just one thing.

there were a lot of

I scratched my cheek with that thought.

However, even thinking about these things made me sad.

This was the only thing that caught Ian’s attention.

The events that occurred before that did not attract attention to me, but to others.

Although I suffered from those events, I did not take the credit.

However, I got all the achievements for this case.

Perhaps Robert and Astina seemed to testify that way.

Because their words had a lot of influence in the academy, and they were the people who watched the situation in this case.

As a result, all the achievements came back to me with the words of the two of them.

To be honest, I thought I didn’t do much.

If Robert had not appeared, all I had done would have been of no avail.

So, to be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about the achievements.

Also, if it was a few months ago, I would have grabbed my head over the achievements I had made.

Because until a few months ago, I thought there was no point in accumulating achievements.

But now it wasn’t.

It occurred to me that driving everything to Evan was a gamble.

There is a saying that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Even if I continued to attribute all the achievements to Evan, it would be meaningless if I didn’t become the Evan I saw.

When that situation comes, we have no choice but to accept death calmly.

So, I am prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

When Evan is not complete, he finds a way to survive.

In order to do that, he could have had to be involved in his achievements, abilities, or even the surrounding politics.

Then a voice came from outside.

“Master Rudy, we have almost reached the mansion.”

I looked outside at Thomas’s words.

I saw a large mansion in front of me.

Unlike the main house, which was full of lilies, it was a very neat and tidy mansion.

I got off the carriage and looked at the mansion.

“… … .”

I stared at the mansion and felt strange.

There is no one around.

The wagon arrived, but no one was watching me.

I spoke quietly.

“There is no one there.”

“Ah, I think everyone is in the mansion, probably preparing a meal.”

Thomas said no big deal.

However, I frowned at those words.

“meal? Are you referring to a meal where people related to that family gather? Or just an ordinary meal?”

“ah… … that.”

When I asked, Thomas stuttered.

In fact, if it was an ordinary meal, there was no reason for all the servants to go there, and if people related to the family came, there had to be a lot of wagons in front of the mansion.

However, neither was it.

Well, I’ve been thinking about it since Thomas came to the academy, but I already knew what he was going to do with me.

At first I was afraid, but now I am curious.

First of all, Ian can’t kill me.

You already took me in front of a lot of people.

However, if he suddenly killed me, Ian couldn’t be normal.

So what do you do?

I glanced at Thomas and took a step forward.

With the safeguards in place, it’s time to see how these guys behave.

I walked towards the mansion, followed by Thomas.

And I opened the door to the mansion.

When I opened the door to the mansion, I saw the stairs and the carpet underneath, just like a normal mansion.

I put my feet in.

However, he did not go in immediately and stopped walking.

Something was strange.

Obviously, the inside of the mansion should have felt the soft touch of the carpet, but my feet felt the roughness of the stone.

“… … What is this?”

I looked at Thomas at the touch of the floor different from what he saw.

Then I saw Thomas’s hand in front of me.

“ね!!!”

Thomas pushed me hard.

And I was pushed into the mansion.

no. It wasn’t exactly inside the house.

“what?”

I was pushed by Thomas and looked around, tearing my butt wheel.

What I saw in front of me was an iron fence.

An iron cage that looks like a prison.

The floor was bumpy and cold stone.

“What happened?”

Thomas, who was in front of my eyes, disappeared out of nowhere.

I got up from my seat to look out the cage.

Then a man’s voice was heard.

“Did you come? Rudy.”

I looked towards the source of the voice.

There stood Ian Astria, my brother.

“What is this?”

I said calmly looking at Ian.

“Well, I didn’t want to do that either.”

Ian shrugged and said.

“I don’t know why you are doing this.”

I spoke quietly.

Then Ian furrowed his eyebrows as if annoyed.

“I really hate guys who are rude in front of me.”

Ian continued.

“So I really liked it when you were living a crazy life. Because your actions made me stand out more and more.”

Saying that, Ian grabbed the iron fence and looked at me as if annoyed.

“But, why the sudden change of behavior? If you’ve been acting like a fool, you’ll live like a fool. Why do you suddenly change your behavior? Did you think that if you were at the academy, someone would protect you?”

I glanced around while Ian was saying that.

To be honest, I wasn’t really interested in that kind of thing.

Because there was no nutritious information.

First, I decided to look at the problem in front of me.

How did I get into the prison?

Was the original place I moved to a prison?

psychedelic magic?

But, then I should have known from the moment I got off the carriage.

What I noticed was when I put my foot in the mansion.

So, it was said that he was not brought here in the first place.

I looked around while continuing the conversation to get any information.

“What do you think has changed since then? No matter how much I get in the way, if something like this gets caught, it will be hard for other people to get over it.”

“Well, I don’t want to hold on to it either. I have no intention of hurting you.”

I frowned at Ian’s words.

Ian opened his mouth, putting a piece of paper behind him through the iron bars.

“Sign this document.”

I looked at the document.

The document was a letter of resignation from the academy.

“Leave the academy and stay quiet in your family. Then I promise not to do any harm to you.”

resign?

I rolled my eyes at those words.

And I thought.

bad… … Isn’t it?

The end of the annihilation, which will always be the last, is the annihilation of students and professors inside the academy, as well as other people in it.

People outside the academy would have an impact, but it wasn’t that big of a deal.

I don’t know what will happen after that incident, but it was said that life could be spared.

As I continued to think about it, I smiled.

I wanted to think of something like this.

Of course, how can I save my life, but I have already built a deep connection with the people of the Academy.

Can I survive when they’re all dead? When that situation came, I thought I might be half crazy.

Even if I continued to survive, I wondered if I would cry and regret that choice.

And there was no guarantee of survival.

Ian of the Astria family was practically a person close to the final boss.

If I belong to an Astrian family like that, I have a problem.

Because what Ian did, the whole of Astria will be blamed.

Because of Ian’s ability, people… … .

oh

As I was thinking about what would happen later, I realized what had happened to me.

Ian’s ability.

No, to be precise, the arcane magic of the Astrian family.

The reason why the Astrian family is recognized as a strong family in the Empire.

It was because of the magic passed down from generation to generation of the Astrian family.

And what happened later was also due to this ability.

I told Ian.

“Did you send me here with space magic?”

space magic.

A very deceptive magic that can create space, divide space, and destroy space.

It was the Astrian family who could use that vicious magic.

Ian didn’t answer my words.

“I will give you one meal a day, so if you want to listen to me, tell the one who brought the meal.”

He just said what he had to say and started walking outside.

I stared at Ian’s back.

“ha… … .”

I sighed, but in my heart I was still a little relieved.

Just because Ian didn’t protect this place had a chance of getting out of there.

However, there was a problem.

“Where the hell is this?”

I told Luna to come to rescue me, but there was no way to tell me about this place.

The person who brings the meal is also Ian’s.

So I couldn’t ask him anything.

“But can you leave me like this?”

Come to think of it, there is only one iron fence in front of me.

If I use magic, I can get out of this situation.

But are you going to leave it like this?

I clenched my fist.

I’ve left it like this, so it seems like some kind of device has been put in place.

I looked at the iron bars.

And gathers mana into his fist.

Even if you don’t know what device you have, there’s a difference between trying and not trying.

“Whew… … .”

Gather mana in your fist… … .

swung

The fist hit the iron bar accurately.

and… … .

– Wooduk

“eww… … AA AA AA!!!!”

It hurt.

The sound from my fists was like a cracking bone.

“Ugh… … turn it off… … .”

I grabbed the hand that hit the iron fence and wiped the tears from my eyes.

It hurt so much.

too… … .
