Chapter 213
213 – ㅅㅅㄲㄲ (1)
From noble mtl dot com
The series of incidents that occurred on Friday night came to an end when the surviving group of Oswalds used mass teleports to leave their seats.
Locke, the general manager of security, immediately issued an emergency call-out order to all professors, instructors, and other faculty members in the entire faculty, including the Department of Warriors, and proceeded with post-processing such as finding out the truth.
Locke took the lead on the scene without showing any signs even though he suffered major internal injuries that could not be recovered in a short period of time even with high-intensity healing magic.
Ellinia Academy. This was the first time the school had been invaded by an outside armed group since its opening.
Depending on how you respond, everything will change rapidly, including the prestige and direction of Ellinia Academy in the future.
There is no faculty member who does not know that fact.
Therefore, there were about 100 faculty and staff gathered near the special performance stage where the incident occurred, even though it had not been long since the emergency call-up order was issued.
“Professor, it seems that all the artifacts worn by the armed group have been recovered!”
“Okay, send it to the alchemy department right away and have it analyzed! Don’t forget to tell me who made it, what the function is, etc., And don’t forget anything!”
“Yes, I understand!”
“Damn, I really did use a mass teleport. Are they really crazy? Where are you guys doing what?”
“That’s not the end, Professor! Just now, a ‘berserker potion’ was detected on part of the stage floor! As you know, this… Is not a drug that is banned in every country on the continent. In the Empire, if you get caught using it, I know it’s a minimum sentence of life imprisonment.”
“······Really crazy people. Please guide me to the place where it was detected.”
After being treated by therapists, the injured, who were in a coma, were moved to the hospital room of [The Hilte].
A total of four injured were moved to the hospital room. It was three instructors and Theo.
Piel and Alps stayed by Theo’s side as he lay on the white bed without returning home.
Shortly after, Amy arrived at her hospital room with her knuckles in her arms. While searching for Theo who did not come home until late at night, she heard that Theo was caught up in the Oswald Incident.
Amy heard Theo breathing as she lay dead on the bed, and she nodded her head calmly.
Piel said to Amy with her puzzled expression.
“Aren’t you surprised…?”
It was the first time I had a private meeting with Amy, and above all, the atmosphere was unusual, so I used her honorific words.
Piel was surprised to see Amy looking down at Theo without a change in expression.
For the user, the safety of the user is more important than anything else.
However, the user, who did not come in until late at night, is suddenly admitted to the hospital room.
Of course, Piel had just sent the maid who had come to the hospital room in surprise.
Amy answered calmly.
“Please take it easy, Mr. Piel. To answer your question, I’m familiar with the current state of the young master because I often see him.”
“I’m used to it…? He said his injuries were healed, but he passed out while fighting.”
“I have seen such cases often since the beginning of the semester. Bocchan always pushes himself to the limit. Perhaps in a dangerous situation, he would have spoken to me.”
“Is that so?”
Piel looked up at Amy, who was standing next to her.
Amy was undisturbed, her back straight, her back straight, her eyes staring at Theo calmly. She’ll be up soon—Amy’s faith in Theo was palpable in her assertive attitude.
Fiel looked down at Theo, who was sleeping again, not snoring at all, only breathing lightly. Even in sleep, when man is most defenseless, he looked orphaned.
Piel scanned Theo’s entire body with tired eyes. It feels like his body has grown.
‘He always pushes himself beyond his limits…’
Piel was well aware that Theo trains hard and continues to excel.
I thought he would not go far, but he is steadily maintaining his unstoppable attitude.
─You say the word despair? What a disappointment.
At the beginning of the semester, during the evaluation of practical training, he recalls the words he said to himself in despair.
Yes, Theo has no talent. He dares to say something like that.
During the Dalian time, it has not been even a month since he exchanged swords with him. At that time, he had nothing to look at but momentum and perseverance.
But today he was a completely different person. He used his blood-human abilities to the point of taking away Oswald’s left arm, which he had struggled with.
The breathing technique he taught himself today was also a great skill.
‘He was really breaking his limits over and over again, you.’
Piel smiled bitterly.
I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with being strong, but I feel like I’m getting shabby after talking about weakness for no reason.
“·······.”
But Theo, in front of him, for some reason, a weak voice comes out. I’ve never been like that in front of other kids or professors.
The strange thing is, at the same time, the desire to protect him also grew. Even if he makes great sacrifices.

About an hour or two passed, but Theo showed no signs of waking up.
Amy sat on a chair near the bed, silently looking at Theo.
Piel must have been tired from his first real fight, he was lying on his bed and sleeping.
Alps, who was sitting in a chair with his back straight and tense, was fighting drowsiness just as he was sitting. His eyes were trembling.
She was also tired because she used a lot of her holy power.
‘Bur, you have to hold on.’
Alps pinched his thigh.
Compared to Theo and Piel, who directly fought the leaders of the armed group, all they did was use a few buffs. He did not dare to sleep.
······Of course, from a third party point of view, she did an excellent job of buffering and requesting support.
I can hear Theo and Piel’s snoring in completely different forms.
“·······.”
“Phyuuu~ Mnya, Mnya.”
That sound seemed to seduce him that he could go to sleep now.
“·····································.
Alps bit his lower lip to wake him up.
Looking at the Alps, Amy said.
“······I will keep my seat, Ms. Alps. You can sleep.”
“Oh no…! Master Theo and Master Piel risked their lives fighting, how can I sleep when I have nothing to do…”
“Neither Theo nor Fiel would want that attitude.”
Claire said as she entered the hospital room.
Alps looked at Claire with eyes like a startled deer.
“Ah, hello, Claire. You came to support, but I couldn’t even say thank you.”
“Okay. Because you did the right thing.”
Saying that, Claire approached Alps.
No, to be precise, I approached the bed Theo was lying on.
After Claire looked down at Theo, who was sleeping next to Amy, he said to Alps.
“I came to hear from the head professor about the progress of the case before I arrived. I should say thank you to him. When everyone was in a state of panic, he was the first to come up with a strategy for resolving the situation and execute it.”
“That’s right.”
“Anyway, you go to sleep too. According to the deputy branch manager, it’s simply accumulated fatigue, so it’ll be fine when you wake up. As you may have heard before, you don’t have to worry about outside intrusion. All faculty and staff within the academy are on high alert.”
Claire said to Alps, who smiled awkwardly.
Only then did the loosened Alps loosen the back that had been straining so far. Very little, of course.

[Sudden Quest: Rescue the hostages caught on stage. If the number of dead hostages exceeds 5, it will automatically fail.]

Number of hostages killed: 0/5
[You have cleared the sudden quest. You have obtained 2 shop gold coins as a reward.]
[Cleared by meeting the maximum conditions for the sudden quest. You have obtained 1 shop gold coin as a reward.]
[Total reward: 3 shop gold coins]
As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the quest completion window.
‘Hmm. Fortunately, no hostages died.’
Then it means Aisha and Siena are safe too.
“Whoa.”
It’s been an hour.
I woke up right away.
‘Ugh.’
The muscle pain was no joke.
When I got up and moved my body around, my body creaked here and there as if it was out of order.
‘Anyway, what are they doing here?’
Three women are sleeping near my bed.
Amy is dozing with her head down, Piel is sleeping on my bed and Alps is sleeping in her sitting position with her head down.
“······································.
If that’s an ability, then it’s an ability. How can you sleep in that position?
“······Ah, hmm, ah, uh uhhh…! Theo, Mr. Theo. You are up!”
Did you wake up to my clearing of your cough?
Alps hurriedly stood up and bowed his head to me.
The sight made me frown.
