I Became an Academy Baldo User

Demon Sword Society (4)

When the situation was settled to some extent, the guards disbanded, but Marina had something to talk about, so she did not go back and followed her to the mansion.

On the way back together, Marina kept staring at Hori, so Hori kept her shoulders down and looked at the floor.

“Then you go in first and rest.”

“… … yes.”

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Hori hurried into an empty room on the second floor, avoiding Marina’s eyes.

Marina stared at the door with an axe for a while after Hori entered, then sighed deeply and looked away.

“Dean… Don’t worry too much about what Hori said earlier. It was so embarrassing that I almost died, so I didn’t say anything.”

“… … There was nothing wrong with what Hori said. just personally… No, saying this now sounds like an excuse.”

After saying that, Marina lowered her head along with her shoulders as Hori had done before.

We went to the dining room where there were only long tables and chairs to stand and have a conversation, and we sat down.

“… I’m sorry that the house is a little shabby as it’s still under renovation. If it goes as planned, this restaurant should have about ten katana… .”

“It’s Lee An’s mansion, so I don’t care, but I think it would be better to leave the house to a professional rather than to manage it yourself.”

The vulgar wizard could not understand the taste of a noble swordsman, so he blew into one ear.

“By the way, Student Ian, you’ve been involved with some pretty annoying people.”

“… … That’s it. I’d rather have a swordsmanship, what is this?”

The Swordsman Association was a gathering of rather serious swordsmen, while the Demonic Swordsmanship was a ridiculous organization that thought it was some kind of bad joke.

The original protagonist fights an evil organization that looks like something out of a boy’s cartoon, so why am I only associated with these kinds of people?

“… It’s going to be a bit long. May I bring you some water?”

“please.”

I remembered that there was a magic tool for preserving ingredients in the kitchen, so I went to see if there was water, but unfortunately there was only alcohol that I didn’t know what it was.

Reluctantly, Marina let out a sigh as if in trouble, carrying a bottle and two glasses of wine.

“In this house, the previous owner had poor quality, so there is only one of these in the kitchen. Shall I pour you a drink?”

“… A drink, please.”

After pouring alcohol into the glass until it was half full, Marina started emptying the glass at once.

“Whew… .”

Marina, who emptied the glass at once, took a deep breath and spoke in a completely different atmosphere from before.

“I recently got a call from the royal family. The liver that the man who claimed to be Ganryu was using is said to be a technology that is one hundred years older than that of the Kingdom, according to reports.”

“A hundred years? That’s a lot of progress.”

To be honest, I wasn’t too surprised to hear that it was a hundred years ahead.

In the first place, even with magic, the nobles ride on horse-drawn carriages in the world view, but it was more surprising that it was only a hundred years ahead, not a thousand years.

“That’s why the lab is now in a festive mood. A hundred years ago, the crystals of advanced technology were in their hands?”

“I would be more than happy if I could throw the body that the demon sword used as well. But what about that person?”

“He will not die for a while, and he will remain there for as long as the research continues. Oh yeah… It’s tragic.”

“Iknow, right. But if it’s okay with you, can I ask you just one thing?”

“What?”

“… Why is this academy so poorly secured? Where are you going to spend the budget sent by the royal family?”

“… … .”

He knew this question would make her feel precious, but he couldn’t contain his curiosity.

Perhaps she couldn’t answer with a blank mind, she grabbed a bottle of wine rather than a glass and started to blow the bottle.

She drank to the point where the bottle was half full, and then she put the bottle down and sighed as if she could get drunk just by smelling it.

“… … It sounds like an excuse, but honestly, the budget from the royal family isn’t that great.”

“Yes?”

As she looked at her with the eyes of what nonsense she was talking about, she shook her head and corrected herself.

“… It’s not exactly small, but it’s probably not enough. Do you know what Ian needs the most to strike a large barrier?”

“Well… If I had to pick one, would it be a catalyst? Even if it’s a small barrier, a catalyst is essential to maintain such a large barrier.”

“you’re right. The stronger and more complex the barrier, the more special catalyst is needed. The academy’s catalyst is the unicorn’s horn, and with the horns, the barrier we have now spread is the limit.”

However, such catalysts were not available on the market, so no matter how much money they had, they could not find them.

For example, where in the world is there a person in the world who goes to catch a ghost that is said to be expensive, such as the heart of an adult dragon or the feathers of a phoenix?

Even if I tried to catch it myself, there was no way that a dragon or a phoenix would come out because it wasn’t the name of a mutt in the neighborhood and searched for a suitable mountain behind.

“If you don’t have enough catalyst… Then why not use a method like reducing the barrier?”

“You think I didn’t think of that?! I thought about putting a barrier on only the academy site, but then the city side becomes weak, and above all, the students who live in mansions in the city district rather than dormitories are at risk!! However, I thought about buying multiple catalysts and making multiple barriers, but there is a problem of barriers clashing and there is no manpower to manage, so I had no choice but to keep it as it is now!!”

Marina, who was shooting horses like a rapid-fire gun, couldn’t beat her anger and started blowing the bottle again.

“… … The dean also seems to have a lot of problems. Then, at the very least, asking the royal family to send more archmage… .”

“I did!! How many times have you asked for it!! But what if there is no manpower? Everyone told me that I was going crazy because they said that I didn’t have much effort, that I was naive, or that I wasn’t very helpful!! Everyone is older than me, so I can’t say anything… !! Whoa!! Whoa!”

“No, why are you crying… .”

Reat at readwn.com

Marina looked quite drunk, but her face was red like a ripe apple, and she cried with tears like chicken dung.

“Everyone is complaining without even knowing it!! Now, a strange group of some sort of Demon Sword Society has invaded again, so I’m the one who’s listening to His Majesty again!! But now I’m doing it to commoners’ girls… !! Nothing has happened for hundreds of years, so why is this only happening when I am the dean!!”

“Dean… Calm… Calm down… .”

“My mom always told me, ‘What kind of young-ae got married again and when she’s going to get married…’ !! If I go to my hometown, I get goosebumps every day, saying that I am a sinner who will cut off my family!! Now it’s getting married and I’m even bringing a divorced man, what the hell did I do so wrong… !! Whoa… !!”

what about this… .

As she had no friends, she had no one to complain to, and when an opportunity arose, Marina’s complaints, which had accumulated over the years, showed no sign of ending no matter how long.

I was not in the mood to stop even if I talked to him, so I moved to completely intoxicate him and make him fall ill.

Each time she complained, I smirked and brought a new bottle to the kitchen, and she drank as much as she gave.

In the end, on that day, Marina stopped complaining and fell asleep only after four more bottles were emptied.

“Ugh… !!”

I felt pity for Marina, who had fallen asleep on the table covered with a white tablecloth, wet with tears, hugged her, moved her to a suitable room, and quietly left the room.

Let’s not say anything to Marina about the Academy’s security in the future… .

*****

“aah!! arm… !! Give me back my arm!!”

It must have been how many hours had passed since he was carried on the back of the spear.

Perhaps the magical sword Nanga had the ability to lower the opponent’s healing ability, so her arm, which would normally have grown to the elbow, only slightly recovered.

“window!! Fog!! What if this doesn’t work?! The body to change into is not good enough!!”

“It’s being played, so don’t worry about it for nothing!! It’s slow, but in a few days you’ll get better!!”

As Chang said, his body was regenerating little by little, but perhaps because of the pain, uneasy thoughts did not disappear from his mind.

“The pursuit may come, so if you can’t stand it, keep your mouth shut with the rest of your hand. Then it will help a little to bear the pain.”

Feeling sad, he asked for his hand as Mist had said, but it only hurt, but it didn’t help the screaming and the pain at all.

“It hurts more when I bite my hand!! No help at all!!”

“Ugh!! Really, this bastard bastard!! Why did you jump in the first place?! If you failed to convince the demon sword, you were planning to back down!!”

“How do you endure the word culling magic sword?! Can you stand it?!”

To be clear, I am the former owner… No, the swordsman who suppressed me before was weak, and it was never that I was a weak weapon.

If that guy was at least a swordsman-class swordsman, he would have fully utilized my abilities.

After a while, when I arrived at the base I had set up before infiltrating the academy, the spear carefully set me down and said to Mist.

“Arrived!! Fog!! Open the door quickly!”

“I understand, so don’t even yell at you.”

As the fog cast a spell, the floor cracked and a path leading to the cavity that had been made in advance appeared.

Supported by the spear, they continued their journey and eventually arrived at a large underground cavity in a circular shape around the crystal ball in the center.

After waiting for a while, standing in a fixed place with a sick body, the crystal ball started to shine, creating six seals in different places.

Comrade Agaia, the darkest of the six seals, looked around us once and sighed.

[…] … The result is roughly expected, but let’s hear the report first.]
