88 – Ralph’s Crisis

“I must kill… !”

The expression full of miasma was like a knife sharpened on a whetstone. The student who stood up on a day when his skin felt like it would sting just by looking at it was Geo Strandal. He was usually the one who gave off a sinister, snake-like aura, but now he is more like an angry wolf than a poisonous snake.

Gio was in the warehouse south of the academy. He skipped the spearmanship class. Classes were no longer in my head. It was a class I didn’t even need to learn in the first place.

Everything is broken. It’s like a domino falling.

Your grandiose plans, your success in the church, and the reputation of the people around you.

It collapsed so easily and so quickly that it all felt like a midsummer night’s dream. A play scrawled haphazardly by a terribly incompetent playwright must have been more probable than this.

Unbelievably, the whole tragedy came from one student.

John Baker.

It is a name so common that even a king would turn his head away no matter where he shouted it. However, when Ji-oh chewed the name, he felt a sensation like a grain of sand on the tip of his tongue. His head heats up and his five organs twist whenever he thinks of his outstanding appearance. Simply, it’s not about his appearance.

As an official of the church, Geo has inevitably hated many people while accumulating numerous bad karma. However, it was the first time in my life that I had such a hateful human being.

I will kill you.

No, you have to kill it.

I couldn’t think of anything else.

“Oh, my God. Mr. Geo Strandal. I was here.”

Did his own resentment reach the sky?

The voice of the opponent who resented him so much awakened his thoughts. The man with the absurdly good-looking face and sloppiness in front of him was Johann Baker. When I checked the time, it was already time for morning classes to end.

“John Baker. Did you know from the start?”

Every time G.O’s mouth opened, he could feel the anger he couldn’t hide. The concept of heavy darkness was all taken off. The only emotion contained in G.O’s eyes, glistening with anger, was anger. There was no room for a cold-hearted reason to intervene.

John was undoubtedly a member of the Sun Cult. It was not just Angra Mainyu who infiltrated the academy. To his damnation, he himself danced unseemly in the palm of the Order.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t pretend! Do you think I don’t know that you are a member of the Sun Church!?”

A gust of wind blew. Geo’s will was manifested in the form of a gust of wind.

He broke the seal. He was no longer at the student level after unlocking the perfect seal that would evade the Church’s pursuit.

It was a very dangerous act to openly show one’s power like this in the academy, the center of the royal capital. However, it was good for G.O. Now.

Anyway, his identity was exposed to the Church. Right now, at this moment, his only purpose was to kill John. That was the last service he could do for the church and the completion of his revenge.

“Oh~ It looks like it’s about to immerse a person in it. Were you that sad about being kicked by me!?”

“Don’t play around! John Baker. If what you wanted was my ruin, you succeeded! But, I won’t go pretty!”

Yohan smiled and looked at Ji-oh, who was spitting out a rattle of hatred.

The unconcerned appearance of John made Ji-oh even more angry. The author really seemed to have learned how to set fire to others at the graduate school level. How could a guy who worships the sun god do that?

“Your eyes! Those eyes that seem to know everything! I didn’t like it in the first place!”

Wheein!

The special energy is united in one point. It is to prepare for Advent. Of course, it is an incomplete advent. Since the black magic circle was not prepared for the incomplete advent, the cost of this advent was his own life. It was a price he could pay well enough for Ji-oh, who was filled with anger.

“Two.”

Looking at G.O with a fresh smile, he raised two fingers and said.

“Deal with the two bosses. It’s a lot faster than I thought.”

As he said that, John had a ring on his right hand that he hadn’t seen before.

A gloomy chapel illuminated only by candlelight.

Where the weak light hits, there are sculptures of people moaning in pain. It seems that the pain of the sculpted figure can be felt just by the shadows on the face. It was such a vivid sculpture mural that it felt like it was carved by seeing it in person rather than imagining it.

A man covered in a robe was kneeling in the middle of such a chapel. The bleakness of the chapel felt from the wall was also felt by this man.

A man’s body is enveloped in a huge malevolence that even a newborn child can instinctively detect. Like a hen laying eggs.

He was a servant of the great evil. He was a slave to evil and a harbinger of darkness.

In the greatest shadow of the continent, he was the undertaker of the task of putting an end to an abominable era.

“……”

The man stood up without a word. Another robe appeared behind him. Like a man who just got up from his seat, he covered his whole body with a robe.

“Professor! Zarick’s presence….”

“I know. Do not be alarmed.”

Angra Mainyu is the six demons who serve the great evil.

One of them is Zarick, the demon of poison that symbolizes ‘rest’ and ‘end’.

His existence has disappeared.

The highest-ranking executive-level priests who can communicate with the giants quickly sensed the change. It was the time when only a day had passed since Saruwa, the demon of oppression, disappeared.

“This is also an ordeal given to us by the evil….”

I couldn’t see his expression because the robe was covered, but the headmaster’s voice was calm. Sensing Jarrick’s disappearance, the executive who made a fuss felt fear at the leader’s cool-headedness.

The religious leader was a man crazy for his convictions. He was the kind of person in the world that shouldn’t be interacted with the most.

Even he, his closest henchman, did not know what the religious leader’s beliefs contained. Of course, the giantess called Angra Mainyu should be inside it, but…. Sometimes I had the illusion that it contained something other than that.

“As always, we do our job.”

It was the leader’s declaration. That declaration immediately put an end to the turmoil of the cult following Zarick’s disappearance.

The academy is a boarding school for all students, but the restrictions in terms of living were quite broad. All that is required of students is to observe the curfew, and there is no such restriction for students who received private dormitories with grades within 3rd place.

Furthermore, the academy was a place where one could freely stay out even on weekends with the permission of the supervisor. This is why being close to home and the academy was a huge advantage. The academy dormitory was quite luxurious even from the point of view of aristocrats, but it still did not reach the comfort of the home.

However, surprisingly few students enjoyed this advantage.

The Academy is located in District 3 of the Royal Road.

The Royal Capital is divided into a total of 20 districts, from District 1 to District 20. The smaller the number in front, the more expensive the land is, but if the number drops below 5, even the nobles cannot come up with it easily. Fallen aristocrats are even within the 10 districts.

For this reason, very few of the academy students can come and go close to the academy and their homes. Usually, they spend a considerable amount of time riding in a wagon, and nobles from provincial domains cannot even dream of commuting on weekends.

The same goes for commoners. In the first place, commoners had no reason to leave the academy dormitory, which was several times better than their own. I don’t know if I call you because of work at home.

Sarah Leoris was one of the few students to enjoy these luxuries. Her home, the Leoris family mansion, was located in District 1 of the Royal Capital. It’s also on the opposite side of the kingdom.

This was the most direct part of revealing the dignity of the Leoris family, a family of magic.

“My daughter! How was class this week!?”

As soon as he opened the door of the mansion, a man greeted him with a bright smile as if he had waited.

No matter how you look at it, this man who doesn’t deserve the title of ‘Sage of Redemption’ was the great wizard praised by the continent and his own father, Ralph Leoris.

“It was normal.”

“Mmm. From the look on your face, it seems that you are not satisfied.”

“I guess so.”

Sarah Leoris.

A rare genius who is considered certain to surpass his father, Ralph Leoris, even at this point when his talent is not fully ripe.

Even in the Leoris family, where there is no one who is not a genius, she was the one who was evaluated as a genius born once in a thousand years.

To her, her academy class was a kind of childhood prank. In fact, when she asked Sarah to choose between her playing house and her academy class, she would toss a coin and choose.

“Well, since my daughter’s level is so great, it’s only natural that she isn’t satisfied with the academy classes.”

It was Ralph’s recommendation that Sara entered the academy. Sensing the stagnation of her growth, Ralph advised her that entering her academy would open up a new perspective for her.

Sarah didn’t think much of taking her dad’s stupid advice, but she reluctantly agreed to the resolute invitation.

“You said you would drop out as soon as you lost interest. Looking at it now, it seems that interest has waned considerably. So, do you want to drop out?”

Sarah was not ready to answer Ralph’s question.

It was true that the academy classes were not interesting at all. He had entered the school knowing in the first place, and his own expectations were not wrong at all.

However, she was reluctant to accept the option of dropping out. The reason was because of her relationship with her at her academy.

“Not yet. I want to go a little, a little bit more.”

Sara’s voice contained hesitation.

It is not the hesitation about expulsion, but the hesitation contained in the modifier ‘just a little’.

Ralph smiled at Sarah. She is a world that Sara, who awakened her genius too early, has never experienced before.

Academy had such a world. And, experiencing it was as important to Sara as her magical studies.

“Whoops! Who is the cheeky guy who stole our daughter’s heart? After all, John Boy?”

John Baker.

The main character of the topic who won the academy chief with the status of a commoner.

Ralph knew better than anyone else that John was not one of those lucky people who got on a chance chance. He said he was playing Roto Chess directly with him.

“Could it be that spring is coming to my daughter’s heart!? As you probably know, this dad doesn’t care about status! Cancer, then. Should we, the seekers of the intellect, care about that?”

Ralph chuckled and poked Sara in the side.

“What are you talking about! Yohan-kun and I don’t have that kind of relationship!?”

“Kkeuk! Got it. By the way, bring John boy to my house quickly. Shouldn’t you, as a daughter, help this father’s revenge battle?”

“Is losing Roto Chess to Yohan really memorable?”

“Because the bitterness of defeat is more memorable than the glory of victory! This daddy is ready! The revenge battle will never lose!”

Sarah looked at Ralph with a pitiful expression.

“I am. I really don’t understand why people call you a sage.”

“Hey heck! A daughter can’t be this ignorant of her father’s greatness!”

Sarah shook her head at Ralph, who took out a handkerchief and made a contrived expression.

“It seems that I am not the only daughter who does not know the greatness of my father.”

Saying that, Sarah pulled out a newspaper from her arms. The mischief disappeared from Ralph’s face when he saw the newspaper. The burning redness she passed on to her daughter covered Ralph’s serious face.

“That….”

“I didn’t come here to rest today. I came to ask my father to explain this.”

What Sara pointed her finger at was an article on the front page of the Royal Capital newspaper. She was an article Sarah, who normally reads newspapers, could not miss.
