Episode 285 – Academy (18)

Scarlett frowned.

It was difficult to move. It was as if there were transparent shackles attached.

‘Why on earth is this happening?’

Her hesitation caught up with her, not knowing why.

I forced myself to walk slowly, one step at a time. In fact, she had no time to hesitate like this. She had to escape as quickly as possible.

‘··· We have to save her subordinates too.’

When she thought about it, she could barely move.

She hesitated and walked away from her mansion. She blended in with the bustling crowd. After walking for a while, I turned around without realizing it.

A part of the mansion glimmered at the edge of my vision.

‘···.’

She looked blankly at the building she was trapped in and then closed her eyes. Perhaps because she was so nervous, her shoulders felt slumped.

With a sigh she left there.

*

Scarlett entered a shabby building that was falling down.

Sigh.

The rusty, unoiled door opened and made a clanging sound.

The man sitting at the table yawned and stood up.

“Welcome back… Ugh?”

The man who had blinked his eyes shouted with a happy expression.

“Scarlett?! “I heard you were caught by the humans. Have you already escaped?”
“Okay. “She’s about to escape. She’s just a piece of gum to me.”

Scarlett approached the table and sat down haughtily. This man was an information dealer that I used regularly.

The information merchant who was smirking said.

“Kick! Looks like that person is quite stupid too. “How clumsy was it that you escaped already?”

My eyebrows furrowed. Suddenly, I felt irritated for no reason. How can you curse without even knowing anything?

‘After..’

I wanted to say something, but I held back. I calmed down my emotions. There was no time to argue with this guy right now.

“…I was just trying to catch someone off guard. He said that was enough. Please tell me the location of my men. “The information fee will be paid soon.”

“Hmm? Deferred payment is never allowed…”

The guy gave me a coy look, but I ignored it. I had no intention of giving myself to this guy.

“Hurry up because we don’t have time.”
“Ugh.. Okay. “Scarlet, I can trust you, so I’ll tell you.”

The information dealer who was rummaging through a drawer held out a map.

“It was your subordinates who were caught by Daejeonsa last time, right? Their location isn’t really a secret. “I’m trapped here.”

The intelligence finger pointed to the outskirts of the city.

It was a small prison with outdated facilities. It was like a police box where minor criminals were locked up.

“···He’s a pirate and he’s here?”

“Okay. I don’t know the exact reason, but I was stuck there. I know I’m lucky. “If it were a real prison, it would have been impossible for even you to be rescued, right?”

“···.”

“Anyway, there won’t be a chance tomorrow. Did you hear that a useful dimensional erosion site was discovered nearby? “They said they would escort you there.”

My eyebrows automatically wrinkled.

“We’re being moved to the dimensional erosion site?”

“Uh. I wonder if you might end up working as a handyman there? “If you want to save it, you have to do it quickly.”

I bit my lip and thought about it.

‘Dangerous. By now, the owner…’

I was startled by the word that popped into my head. How long has it been since you escaped that you still call me master? He shook his head and came to his senses.

‘That pervert… Must have known I ran away.’

If he comes, the escape is over.

If nothing else, she acknowledged his powerlessness. It was literally a monster. It was obvious that I wouldn’t be able to resist properly and would be captured again.

‘What should I do…’

However, he couldn’t abandon his subordinates.

Eroded land is an unexplored land that is extremely dangerous. If his men headed there, they would most likely die.

Scarlett, who had been thinking for a while, stood up.

“Thanks for the information. “I’ll just go.”

In the end, I headed to the makeshift prison. He simply could not abandon his men.

They were different from other pirates. They were like family who had been together since childhood.

‘Let’s go first.’

It wasn’t long before we arrived at the makeshift prison. He killed the sight and circled around.

I carefully observed the alert level.

‘…Is it too clumsy?’

I saw soldiers yawning. I sat cross-legged and sipped from the canteen.

“Squeak.. Squeak!”

My face turned bright red and I was dumbfounded by what he said.

‘···Alcohol? ‘Could it be that they didn’t hear that I escaped?’

Immediately after escaping, I ran all the way here. It wasn’t impossible.

I looked around the prison once again, but the three soldiers were the last sight. It was so clumsy. I was able to handle it right away.

‘Should I kill him?’

After thinking about it, I shook my head. The escape was already discovered anyway. A quick resolution was more important.

Slurp..

He quietly took out his knife. I walked confidently towards the prison.

“Yes? “What are you!”

He spilled blood on the frightened soldiers. A brilliant light rose from the sword. Their mouths opened wide.

“Oh, Geomgang!”

“If you don’t want to be left behind, get out now. Oh, leave the keys behind.”

There wasn’t even a second of hesitation. The soldiers threw away the keys they were wearing and immediately ran away.

“Tsk..”

Scarlett, who was glaring at the soldier, was desperate to kill him. There was no point in touching those guys. It only incurs the resentment of Daejeon Temple.

I picked up the key and headed toward the thick iron bars.

Clap!

The door opened. The trapped pirates rushed out.

“Oooh!”
“Captain! “You’re finally here!”

He swung his sword towards the restraints. The pirates’ handcuffs were all cut off.

Their magical power was unleashed. The face brightened.

“Leader! Why are you so late! “I thought you were going to die of boredom!”

Scarlett smiled faintly and said.

“Stop talking nonsense and run quickly! “If you stay here and the soldiers come, it’s all over.”
“Yes!”

A group of pirates ran forward. Toward the sea beyond the curtain.

“Haha! “It’s an escape!”

The blond young man who was kicking the ground shouted as he looked at Scarlett.

“Sister! You are truly amazing. You’re already coming to save us! “How did you escape?”

His eyes sparkled. The face looking at Scarlett was full of longing and adoration.

The giant next to me smiled playfully and said.

“Tsk tsk. Could it be that you are just fawning over me? I whispered while I was in the human’s arms. ‘Ah, darling, can you please let me go? ‘I miss the sea.’ Like this.”

The blond young man widened his eyes. He shouted with a red face.

“You crazy bastard! Don’t talk nonsense! There’s no way your sister did that! That human being is also a human being after all. He must have escaped while you were sleeping!”

“I’m just kidding. Jerry, you always get excited in strange places. By the way, captain. How did you really escape? “That monster was quite strong.”

Scarlett, who was listening to his subordinates’ conversation, flinched. His fingertips were trembling.

‘Damn bastards..’

Her face felt hot. Something flashed through her mind. It was like he was fawning over me, calling me my master.

I felt my cheeks turning red. Fortunately, she was in the lead so no one caught her.

“Everyone shut up! Stop talking nonsense and just run! At least you don’t have to go into the sea! Do you want to be caught and searched again?”

“Hmm. You’re right. Let’s hurry. “I had a really bad feeling earlier…”

Their speed increased. I kept my mouth shut and focused on running.

After the pirates left.

The soldier who ran away in a huff came back. The seemingly generous appearance suddenly disappeared. He looked into space with a stiff face and saluted.

“Master Daejeon. “I let them go as ordered.”

Someone walked out of thin air.

He was tall like a model. She was a woman with a healthy body. Her orange hair blew in the wind.

It was Epinel, the great warrior of the Mermaid tribe. She said to her soldier.

“You worked hard. They were let go because they were useful. “Don’t worry about it.”

“No! How could I complain about the Great Master’s instructions? “I just follow your orders!”

“Hmm. Thank you for your understanding. Then come back.”

“Yes! “I will return to the front lines!”

The soldier kicked the ground. It was so fast that an afterimage occurred. At first glance, it wasn’t sewage water.

The great warrior was silent for a while and then turned his head.

“Can she really control her?”

Choi Si-woo burst out of the air and laughed.

“Control? “I don’t really have any intention of doing that?”

The great warrior frowned at the carefree tone.

“Didn’t I tell you to trust only yourself?”
“It’s just a push. “Scarlett is better than other pirates, right?”

Siwoo shrugged his shoulders and continued.

“Besides, you didn’t even touch the soldier.”

“···Isn’t that just based on what I noticed?”

“I’m glad you noticed. Wouldn’t that be enough for a pirate?”

He said to her as she nodded without saying a word.

“I’ll take care of Scarlett. By the way… Have you thought about what I said last time? “She said she would strengthen the soldiers as a color worker.”

Epinel’s expression hardened. She was silent for a while.

“···Ha. Your worries are over. Instead, there are conditions.”

She waited quietly and she shook her head.

“I’ll tell you the conditions later. “Shouldn’t you go after Scarlett first?”

“Hmm.. I’ll see you later then.”

Finally, I took a quick look at Epinel’s face. There was an air of conflict about something. After thinking for a moment, I kicked the ground.

Other things were more important now.

He chased after her maid who had betrayed her master twice. It was time to educate the obnoxious female.

***

Scarlett, who was swimming in the sea, looked behind her. There was something uncomfortable about her pouting her lips.

Jerry, the blond young man who was closely observing her expression, spoke.

“Sister. Why are you doing this earlier? “Did you leave something behind?”

“···Nothing. “I just felt strange coming to the sea after such a long time.”

The giant following him grinned.

“Aren’t you missing that human being’s embrace? Tsk tsk.”

Jerry’s face turned red and he gritted his teeth.

“This bastard has been saying shit since a while ago…! “Do you really want to die for me?”

“Adventure. It’s a joke. It’s a joke. “I’m just joking because it’s nonsense.”

Scarlett frowned.

“Everyone be quiet. ···Don’t you know that if monsters come rushing in while talking on the high seas, everything will be searched? Jerry, you too, stop.”

“S-sorry.”

How long did you swim in the calm sea?

With a splash!

Scarlett rose to the surface of the sea. Several huge ships were visible on the distant horizon.

“Ha… Finally.”

She arrived on her pirate ship. I felt relieved once I got there.

Finally free from the owner… No, the pervert bastard.
