Chapter 23 – #022 Islay Samaha

***

“… This is it! This is perfect!”

A dark room.

A woman wearing round glasses smiles, her eyes sparkling.
In her hands, a test tube filled with a red liquid that gave off some kind of unclean energy licked.

“Now all we have to do is for that day to come…!”

When that day comes, and I succeed in this, I will be able to go one level higher than I am now.

Maybe when all is over, she will be the first woman in the empire to be awarded the title of marquis.

The woman’s golden eyes sparkled with desire.
A red liquid flashed before her eyes.

***

Two days until the festival starts.

Preparation for the lecture is going well, but something feels uneasy.

This is because the feller mill has been too quiet recently.

Given his personality, he must have prepared something…

A cowardly move.

– Ask that bitch again. Do you know anything? I guess I heard it last night.

It couldn’t have been that way.

She said she had already asked once, but Feller Mill had not told her any plans.
And that would be the case with the Fellermill I know.

There’s no way I could tell Bella’s top secret to someone who doesn’t even think about it and just acts and talks the way she wants.

‘Then I have to find out for myself…’

Is there any better way?

– The best thing is to catch one person and kill him quickly, right?

‘I think so too.’

I quietly thought about it.

Memories from the time of Aslan.

And an appropriate target immediately comes to mind.

‘Good. Let’s go.’

– Oh, oh. For some reason, I feel like today is going to be fun?

I briefly excused myself from Bella and her princess and quietly left the training room.
Bella kept trying to follow me, but when she caught me and gave me a serious fight, she gave up.

It moves as if it is running or flying, moving secretly towards a building.

Then, using a weak fly spell, he ascended to the 7th floor as if climbing the wall, and quietly peered inside through the window.

‘I knew it would be like this.’

A study room exclusively for professors.

There, a man and a woman were embracing each other and making passionate love.

– It’s very intense, huh? Watching this makes me feel warmer for the first time in a while!

‘Calm down, sister.’

– How is it? How about we go in and play 3P too?

I shouldn’t talk.

Put your ear to the window.

And then the soundproofing magic is lifted slightly.

Then, the sound of flesh clashing against flesh, intense moans, and occasional conversations were heard.

“Aila! How are you? Do you like it?”

“Ah. Tsk. Yes, yes… Professor…! I love it…!”

The man seemed to have gained strength from those words and shook his waist even more vigorously.
The speed at which the penis moves in and out of the woman’s vagina becomes faster.

Then, the man shouts loudly as if he has reached his limit.

“Cum, cum!!”

“Yes…!”

Hmm. Is it wrapped inside?

It’s the perfect time to enter.

I hid my face and voice with magic, opened the window, and went inside.

Then the man and woman, startled by the sound, quickly helped her up.

“W-Who are you?!”

“Me? Well… It would be accurate to say that he came to see me after finding out about the relationship between the two.”

“What?!”

The eyes of the man and woman opened wide.

I guess it’s because I hid it so well, but I don’t know how they found out.

The only one who knows is Aslan, and he is already a corpse.

“The Academy is my impure association…”

“This is…”

“The age difference is over 20, so it wouldn’t be an issue if I told this to the young lady’s family.”

Two men and women with crumpled faces.

It’s an expression that says I’m completely screwed.

But it’s still too early to make that kind of face.

“I wonder what will happen if I tell my wife at home… She is quite powerful. Right, Count Ospel?”

“Now, wait… What do you want? Tell me. I’ll give you anything I can.”

“Me too. I’ll do anything for you, so please just stay at home…”

– Even if the girl is still young and scared, why does the guy do that?

‘Ah, my wife at home is quite a strong-willed person. That family needs to work hard in this empire.’

– Aha? Then cheating…

‘Okay. Rather than saying it was because the other person was a child, it was more of an impulsive act because he was oppressed by his wife’s energy. That person, the person itself, is not bad. Well, the woman fell for the charm of a powerful middle-aged man.’

I quietly looked down at the man and woman.

The two of them were waiting for my notification with their heads down like criminals.

– If it were me, I would struggle.

‘No. He’s an academic professor, so he has absolutely no power whatsoever. Kukkuk.’

– That’s a very sad reality. Tsk tsk.

I got close to them.

Every time I took a step closer, they lowered their heads a little more.

“Count Ospel.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go into the room and talk alone. And Lady Aila?”

“Yes, yes?”

“You are to wait here quietly. I hope you don’t move and spin anything while wiping the drippings from your crotch.”

“Yes… Yes.”

After giving that warning, I took the professor with me and went into the room attached to the study.

He threw the professor he had dragged into a corner.

Negotiations begin immediately.

“If you help me and follow me from now on, I will help you solve the two problems you face.”

“Two… Things?”

“Yes. Covering up what happened here and resolving your wife’s problem. This is a deal.”

“Really?”

The man’s eyes opened wide.

But he thought about it for a while and lowered his head.

“If it means killing the woman at home, it’s not okay. Then…”

“It won’t work because your power and connections will be lost. I know that much. All I’m saying is that I will restore your authority in your family.”

The man’s uvula moved greatly.

I can’t imagine the wide-open eyes shaking.

“Well, what should I do?”

“Count Ospel Lenatri. You will serve me as your master from now on.”

Then he showed cynicism.

That’s because it’s such a ridiculous request.

“I guess you don’t have much of a choice?”

“Keukeu. That’s right.”

“And you don’t seem to know much about me, but there is no wizard in this empire who can stop me. Even the Dean will have to sacrifice his neck in front of me.”

“You’re bluffing.”

A face full of ridicule.

But let’s see if you make that kind of face when you hear this.

“If Aslan is there, there’s nothing to worry about as long as he’s dead.”

The man’s eyes opened wide at that one word.

His body trembles and his head, which was looking at me, is lowered to the floor.

“S-No way… Islay Samaha, the cult leader?!”

-What is that? I don’t know this person?

As the man’s reaction was unusual, Beres asked in a voice full of interest.

Well, it’s worth it.

It happened while she was in her seal.

‘Islay Samaha, the cult leader. He is literally the leader of a crazy group. And I killed it. Although they did not officially say that he was killed.’

13 years ago now.

After 30 years on the battlefield, under the orders of the emperor, he eradicated a new religious cult that was spreading indiscriminately near the front lines.

Although they are a group of crazy people who sacrifice people, there has never been a history of the empire directly suppressing religion…

At the time, the cult operated a system in which they sold their allies’ information to the enemy and received compensation for it. When the emperor found out about this, he ordered their extermination.

‘The problem is that the religious leader at the time was a formidable wizard.’

– How much was it?

‘In reality, he was just a little stronger than an average professor, but the rumor spread that he was the strongest in the empire.’

And Aslan succeeded in eradicating the cult.

He was appointed as a professor at the Academy in recognition of his contribution in the war and his accomplishments in clearing the country.

However, at the time, I killed the religious leader but just expressed that I missed it.

This is because the value of his name was too high to report the truth.

If a wizard who was just a commoner and had not even graduated from the academy caught such a great person, it was certain that something bad would happen.

– So now that bastard listens to you and thinks you are the leader of the cult?

‘Okay. And I plan to keep pushing forward like that. I already needed an identity to move secretly.’

Isley’s specialty is debuffing.

And when it comes to debuffs, there are two things I am confident in.

It is ‘helplessness’ and ‘despair’.

“The second prince, Kenesis, to whom you are loyal. Even if his right-hand man, Fellermil, comes, he is no match for me. So, make your decision.”

“If… It’s really him, Zhi, show me the proof, and I’ll believe it.”

“Evidence… Is there a magic level meter?”

The man nodded his head and went out, carrying a tool.
A bead the size of a child’s head.

I put my hand on it and activated ‘lethargy’.

Then, letters are subtly engraved between the black beads.

Debuff series, judgment A.

“A, A?!”

The man’s eyes opened wide.

Magic grades range from F to SSS.

And from S, it is the dragon’s territory.

In other words, the grade that is considered the highest a human can reach is A.

– Is it pretty?

Well, I’m pretty confident about this magic.

“Do you believe it now?”

“Yes, yes. I will be loyal to you from now on! So please have mercy on me for my rudeness just now…!”

“Don’t worry. I am infinitely merciful to my people.”

“Thank you. Thank you!”

He bowed his head to the ground several times.

It hit me so hard it felt like I was going to bleed, but I deliberately left it alone.

If I’m going to play Isley, doing it right will help me in my future career.

– Even though you said it wasn’t a big deal, you’re quite scared, aren’t you?

‘The fear of the black dragon that appeared 2000 years ago is probably imprinted in the minds of the people of the empire. It was so serious at the time that the ghost story even circulated around young children that Isley would come and kidnap children who disobeyed.’

– You happened to be the captain at that time?

‘What are you talking about? I wasn’t the captain. Everyone died, and I was the only one who survived.’

5,000 imperial troops who had been promised military service were deployed.

And the only one who survived was me.

That’s why I don’t know if I’m having even more terrible memories.

‘Actually, it was because the commander at the time was like a dog and couldn’t lead.’

It was led by a young man who had never been to the battlefield…

In some ways, the result may have been planned.

“Then, Count Ospel, I will ask you.”

“Yes, yes. Ask anything!”

“This time, the dean is keeping the third princess in check? Tell me what you are planning.”

“Why is that…?”

“Why? Now, if I just get rid of the dean, it’s completely my world. I plan to sabotage all of his plans from now on.”

I put my face right in front of the man.

There was a spell, so he couldn’t see my eyes, but he lowered his eyes as if he was avoiding my gaze.

“So tell me. What are you planning?”

The man trembled in silence for a while.

He was just thinking about covering up the affair, but somehow it ended up like this…

But now I can’t refuse.

Otherwise, your head will be blown off by this vicious cult leader.

The man’s mouth began to move.

Barely moving his trembling jaw muscles, he reported to me in detail what the Second Prince’s gang was planning.
