Chapter 257 – The Bad News

“Professor, is my body the goal anyway?!”

“Yes? Yes?”

“This beast! Succubus! Don’t settle!”

“What is it all of a sudden, Yandel student… ?”

Iona is troubled like seeing a child who is acting out of nowhere.

But listen folks. Last night’s Iona wasn’t really a joke, was it?

Covering my body with a blanket, I pretended to be in the dark, then lay down on my feet and shouted.

“If you want to do that, you can do it!”

“Aha? Aha? So you want to do a little more? It’s morning, so let’s do it lightly without tools!”

Ona, who smirked and climbed on top of me. Even though she had fun all night, her bloody eyes were full of lust.

You may be late today.

***

There was a small commotion when Iona and Iona went to school side by side at a slightly late time, but… No one had ever been able to spit it out.

As soon as the second semester came, I thought, ‘This is a bit…’, But I was sure of one skill.

Iona, what can I say? He’s just a living legend. Even the same professors can’t say anything carelessly.

Of course, I’ll have to take care of myself from now on showing off like I’m late like today.

By the way, if it was in the first semester, there would have been rumors that were much worse, or upperclassmen who were confident in her skills would have quarreled with her, but now there is no such thing at all.

There could be a reason for this, but basically, it must be because of his reputation.

It wouldn’t be easy to gossip about me in a situation where the Church of the Righteous Light supports and supports me, and the Levantine Empire shows interest.

Especially if you are from the continent of Eurelia who still values ​​honor.

“Eh… So, when enchanting, it can be said that it is a good magic tool to make by considering not only the power of magic, but also the cost and usefulness of actual use.”

The enchantment professor who is in class while looking at us with a timid voice.

Maybe it’s because he doesn’t know how to make magic tools, but he knows what kind of magic tools are good to use in real combat.

I can hardly concentrate in class.

“Tsk.”

“What is it, Yandel? Even if you are dissatisfied with the class… ?”

“No. It’s nothing.”

He politely shook his head at the professor, who reacted greatly to trivial matters, perhaps because he had a sensitive personality, and continued his thoughts.

The Levantine Empire… Should I contact you soon?

Only then will he be the current head of the Seething Calm Church and the main culprit who framed the Lindelheit family. A giant who was promised the position of an apostle when an evil spirit descended one day.

Empress, you will be able to expose Fiona de Levantine’s true identity.

Of course, that is not possible right now. Although he belongs to the Seething Calm Church with low combat power.

Their power does not come from direct power, but from a hidden seat of power.

She is the one who hid in the position of Empress of the Levantine Empire, the most powerful country on the continent of Eurelia.

Do you suspect the empress of the Levantine Empire, who takes a hard line against the forces of evil spirits, even if not as much as the righteous Church of Light? But you couldn’t even prove it?

It would be perfect for a headwind. If it was Fio or that cunning bitch, no one else might be aiming for it.

Her son uses all of her powers only to hide her identity, and is a rare villain who controls her emperor only with her physical beauty and her abilities.

She may have to deal with the entire Levantine Empire, who are pushing her blindly.

If I die, it’s the best, and even if I run away alive, it’ll be difficult to promote on a large scale.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it may incite conflict between the righteous Church of Light, which supports me unconditionally, and the Levantine Empire, which has been greatly insulted.

By sneaking in quietly and causing internal strife, it slashes the opponent’s strength before fighting.

What a seething, silent fight. I’m not just listening to the sound of the prospective apostle.

I wish I could have stabbed Fiona with the shiny lion dagger when I revealed that Frank Miller, who I dueled the other day, was a cultist…

Unfortunately, at the time, I wasn’t in a class where I could say something like “Let’s poke the empress.”

They are the ones who even imitate the divine power and hide in the Good God Church, so by now they should have prepared for the Shining Lion Dagger’s ability to discriminate.

I need to catch it… My head hurts just thinking about how to hold this.

For reference, I couldn’t catch it until the end at H&A. After the evil spirit descended, the key was how well you captured Fiona, who had awakened as an apostle, without harm.

Can you save the emperor, can you save the captain of the guard who is a sword master, how many Auror expert knights and high-ranking wizards belonging to the imperial family can be saved, and so on.

Depending on the outcome of Fiona’s subjugation, the amount of support from the Levantine Empire, which later became an ally, changed.

However, it was impossible to save them all no matter what.

If the emperor was saved, the sword master died, if the sword master was saved, the emperor died, and the number of knights and wizards who survived depended on how quickly they were captured.

A user tried to raise the main character’s abilities to the highest level with a hacking tool called a trainer, but… Even so, either the emperor or the sword master must die.

If you save the emperor, you will receive huge amounts of gold and rare items along with the army of the Levantine Empire.

If you save the captain of the guard, the size of the army will decrease, and you won’t get any gold or items to speak of… As a sword master, he personally participates in the second half.

If you are a newbie whose goal is to clear itself, save the captain of the bodyguard, and if you are a multi-player user who wants more than that, save the emperor.

That was the national rule strategy at H&A.

But now that it has become a reality. If Fiona can prove she is a cultist and kill her before she awakens.

Wouldn’t it be possible to save both? Couldn’t it be that we can get her support twice as much?

… I tried wringing my head here and there with the thought, but I couldn’t find a point.

They are cultists who respond quickly to my actions, but there is no model answer.

This is not a problem for me to worry about alone. When you get a chance, you should talk to other people.

But anyway, I need to go to the capital of the best Levantine Empire…

Should I ask Helena for this later?

The Levantine Empire and the Righteous Church of Light are not on bad terms, perhaps because they hate evil spirits in common.

If a saintess who came out after 300 years asked for an audience with her, she would not refuse.

What is Helena doing right now? Did she start on Solaris? I think it’s time for her to come soon… She handed over the communication crystal orb, so she should try calling later.

While thinking so Class was over before I knew it.

I tilted my head involuntarily at the sight of the enchantment professor leaving the classroom as if running away as soon as the bell struck.

What?

This time, I quietly listened to the class…

“Ah.”

You didn’t attend class.

***

Lunch hour. The lab stopped by to feed Iona and contact Helena.

After swallowing a bite of the sandwich he had left in his inventory as emergency food, he opened his mouth.

“So, how can this not work, Professor Iona?”

“Yes? Yes? What are you talking about all of a sudden, Yandel student? Are you asking for a sandwich?”

Iona wiggled her hand while tilting her head. When I handed her the sandwich she was holding, she pressed it to my mouth as it was.

Omnyomnyom…

She took a bite, ate, and spoke.

“I think professors are too conscious of me these days. How can I not? Actually, it’s not that the content of the class is poor or anything like that. I just know a better way.”

“Just now! I was a bit unlucky!”

“…”

In fact, I thought so too when I said it.

Iona tapped her on the shoulder and smiled for a while before she nodded.

“Okay okay. I’ll try talking to the other professors. I don’t know if it’ll work out, but I mean!”

“It’s enough just to let them know that I’m not intentionally ignoring other professors.”

She let out a deep sigh, and snatched the last piece of sandwich from Iona’s hand with her mouth.

For some reason, Iona and I were staring blankly at her fingers, but she didn’t care and licked the remaining sauce on her lips neatly.

And she reached out her hand to her plate, which she had taken out earlier to eat one more.

Stutter.

“Huh?”

The texture of the sandwich you can’t catch. Turning her head, Carla and Elisha were standing in line with the remaining sandwiches split in half.

“… Do you want more?”

“No! We want to feed the master too!”

“Joy! You’re not the only one who’s going to bully me, are you?”

Is it that

Carla smiled and opened her mouth, and Carla put the sandwich in with a dejected expression.

So she took turns eating sandwiches from Carla and Elisha and took out the crystal ball connected to Helena.

A crystal ball that vibrates lightly and glows when she blows her magic into it. But no matter how much time passes, I don’t get it.

What are you busy doing right now? Well, maybe it’s lunch time. When it’s over, I’ll have to call you back.

She didn’t care and put her orb back.

… I shouldn’t have done that.

Three days after he lost contact with Helena.

News came that Solaris, the headquarters of the Righteous Church of Light, was besieged by a group of monsters.
